Chapter 456 Chapter 454 [Heart is higher than the sky]

On the north bank of Hengjiang River, Nanqiu City.

This place is located in the southwest corner of Beiyan territory and belongs to Jiangbei Road. It is also the place where Hengjiang River can only be seen from Jiangbei Road.

A group of Jingjun cavalry appeared in the suburbs and gradually approached the rushing Hengjiang River.

When you get closer, you can see mountains on both sides of the bank, with no gaps at all. The mountains are stacked on top of each other, hiding the sky and blocking out the sun.

The Jingjun cavalry could only dismount and walk slowly through the mountain paths, gradually hearing the sound of waves.

The Hengjiang River, which stretches for thousands of miles, finally revealed a small section of its true appearance before their eyes.

Everyone stood on the shore, watching the turbulent river roaring eastward and beating into thousands of piles of snow. They couldn't help but feel shaken and couldn't control themselves for a moment.

Seeing this, Marshal Sa Gai of the North Courtyard of Dajing sighed with emotion: "No wonder the people of Qi call Hengjiang a moat. Only when you see it with your own eyes today can you know how magnificent this scenery is."

The rest should not be the case.

Sa Gai led everyone back the same way. When they were still more than ten miles away from Nanqiu City, several riders came quickly from the southwest.

This is really like someone giving me a pillow right after I dozed off.

"Generalissimo, urgent report from Shazhou!"

If Jingjun's cavalry could pass through Shazhou, Southern Qi's defense line along the river would lose its usefulness. By then, he would surely be able to make the county king and suppress Qing Yugong.

He looked to the west at the hundreds of thousands of mountains that spanned the north and south of the Hengjiang River, feeling a little excited in his heart.

As long as Jingjun cavalry can enter Shazhou, how will it be possible for those Shazhou natives to have the final say? At most, just give them some bones to eat.

The confidant jumped off his horse and came to the front and said quickly: "General Marshal, General Wuhu asked the villain to come and report that the situation in Shazhou has changed. General Wuhu originally planned to open a breakthrough from Hardy, the leader of the Jinchuan tribe, but failed. I thought that someone from within Shazhou took the initiative to approach us and was willing to serve as our internal agent to lead a large army into the pass. The condition is that our army cannot be permanently stationed in Shazhou and we must support him to become the lord of Shazhou. "

One of the Jingjun generals said proudly: "Generalissimo, unless the Southern Qi soldiers and horses capture Pingyang Prefecture in Jingzhou of Southern Qi, they will not be able to find a suitable place to cross the river. As long as we can conquer Shazhou as soon as possible, we will have the greatest success in destroying Qi." It’s none other than the Generalissimo, even the Prince of Changshan County must bow before the Generalissimo!”

The cronies took the order and left.

When the person who came was still more than ten feet away, he shouted loudly.

However, out of caution, he still asked calmly: "Is this matter unreliable?"

Sagai thought for a moment and said slowly: "Tell Wuhu that you can agree to any conditions, but you must make sure that this is not a bait, and then make sure that Feiniao Pass can be used by me."

The confidant replied: "General Wuhu has already started contact with people from Shazhou. While discussing the details of the matter, he will find out the details of the other party."

Sa Gai had a dull expression on his face, but there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart.

Everyone responded with a roar, and Sa Gai smiled.

Sagai looked at the figures of these cavalrymen leaving quickly, and a sneer appeared on his lips.

Full of ambitions and ambitions welled up in his heart along with the turbulent river water, Sa Gai said leisurely: "Don't say these words anymore, we are all working for His Majesty, why should we separate ourselves from each other. Today I will bring you to see with your own eyes the majesty of the Hengjiang River. , I hope you will have a clear understanding of the future war and stop being as arrogant and arrogant as in previous years."

Sa Gai's heart moved, and he immediately stepped back a little, looked at the person who came and asked, "What's the matter?"

Sa Gai added: "I didn't understand why Your Majesty was reluctant to go south before, but now I understand that His Majesty has a lofty vision for the world. Without complete preparations, our cavalry would not be able to cross this natural chasm, let alone the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The earth is galloping."

There was a sound of taking orders.

"Yes, Generalissimo."

Things were progressing so smoothly, as if the territory of Shazhou was within reach, Sa Gai could no longer conceal the lofty ambitions in his heart, and let out a burst of domineering and cheerful laughter.

The generals who came closer did not dare to ask more questions, but they were also infected by Sagai's laughter, or they were just flattering, so they all laughed.

The laughter floated far away with the autumn wind.

……

Shazhou, Tieyangbu, Gaopingzhai.

From a geographical point of view, this village is located in the heart of the entire Shazhou, so it was selected as the core territory by the Tieyang tribe.

It's just that in terms of rich products, it is not as rich as the Jinchuan tribe in the northwest, and in terms of flat terrain, it is not as flat as the Yalong tribe near Yunling in the east. It is only called the center, but it has been suppressed by the Yalong tribe for hundreds of years.

Located in the center of Dazhai, the Shen family's big house.

In a bedroom, Shen Tianyi was lying on the bed with a pale face.

Before the fight with Lu Chen, he was quite confident in his martial arts and believed that among the seven tribes of Shazhou, except for Luo Jiujiu and Na Chong, the eldest son of Na Yan, the leader of the Dashi tribe, none of the others were his opponents. , and in the moment of life and death, he may not be weaker than Luo and those two.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chen made him unable to stand up with just one punch. I believe this matter has spread, and maybe he is the laughing stock of many people at the moment. However, there was not much anger in Shen Tianyi's eyes.

There was also his father Shen Min in the room. The middle-aged man stood beside the bed and said calmly: "The doctor said that you have no internal injuries, and you have not hurt your muscles and bones. You only need to take care of yourself for ten days and a half. Don't worry. Recuperate and don't keep this in mind, my father will help you get revenge sooner or later."

Shen Tianyi shook his head slightly and said: "Father, my son will not have random thoughts. Although he did not expect Lu Chen's martial arts to be so high, the son's injury can give his father a reason to take action. This is not a bad deal. It's just that the son thinks that his father should be more careful. On the surface, Lu Chen only has a few dozen soldiers, but judging from his relationship with the Luo family and his daughter, these people should have back-ups. "

Shen Min nodded happily and said, "Father, I know."

He walked out of the bedroom slowly and came to the main hall after a while, where two middle-aged men were waiting for tea. They were Bai Chang, the leader of the Huining tribe, and Wei Wanjiang, the leader of the Huang tribe.

"Thank you, you two have been waiting for a long time."

Shen Min smiled and apologized.

Bai Chang said quickly: "Brother Shen, what are you talking about? Is the child Tianyi okay?"

Wei Wanjiang also showed a concerned look.

Shen Min walked to the main seat and sat down, and said with a sigh: "There is no fear of life. Although Lu Chen's attack this time is not fatal, it will cause a great blow to the dog, and it is likely that he will not be able to continue to improve his martial arts in the future."

"so serious?"

Bai Chang was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "This is unreasonable! We have watched this child Tianyi grow up, and now he is injured by Qi people in Shazhou. Is this the case?"

Wei Wanjiang sighed: "Brother Bai, can't you see it? Although Lu Chen is from Qi, he is an honored guest of the Yalong tribe. The Luo family father and daughter barely mentioned marriage. Even you and I were extremely angry that day. , not to mention Brother Shen? It’s just that this is Blackwater Village and the territory of Luo Yaozong. He has made it clear that he wants to side with Qi Ren, so what can we do? "

Bai Chang's heart moved, but he still said angrily: "No, Lu Chen must pay the price for this!"

They seemed to have forgotten that Shen Tianyi initiated the challenge in that fight, or they deliberately ignored this issue.

Shen Min picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and said calmly: "I'm not in a hurry to settle accounts with Qi Ren. Today I mainly want to ask you two, how do you think about that matter?"

Bai Chang and Wei Wanjiang looked at each other, and then said quickly: "Originally, I was a little hesitant, but now looking at Luo Yaozong's attitude, he took the initiative to lean towards Qi Guo, simply because he wanted to use this external force to achieve his goal. Although he and I are far apart Not far away, but I have always disliked him. If he is allowed to do that, where will our Huining Department have room to breathe? Since Brother Shen has such a big ambition, I will definitely support you!"

Among the seven tribes in Shazhou, the Yalong tribe and the Huining tribe are both in the east area and are relatively close to Yunling. Logically speaking, they should be relatively close. However, as Bai Chang said, due to the influence of some old events, the relationship between the two tribes has never been harmonious, and disputes between tribesmen often occur.

Shen Min looked to the other side again.

Wei Wanjiang immediately laughed and said: "Brother, we have been playing together since we were young. You should remember the time when we beat up those powerful children of Qi in Heluo City, right? I won't go into too much nonsense. Anyway, no matter what the Tieyang Ministry wants No matter what you do, we, the Huang Department, will follow you to the end, even if you fight through mountains of swords and seas of fire!"

"good very good."

Shen Min smiled leisurely and praised: "Shen will bear in mind the friendship between the two brothers."

Bai Chang took advantage of the situation and asked, "I wonder what we are going to do next?"

Shen Min said unhurriedly: "The details of the negotiation at the ancestral home that day can be publicized. The focus is to highlight Qi's aggressiveness and sinister intentions, as well as Quanzi's tragic end. You must know exactly what to do. In short, we must Let our people, especially the most loyal warriors, realize that Qi wants to annex Shazhou, and Luo Yaozong and Yalong tribe have become their hawks. "

The two nodded repeatedly.

Shen Min continued: "The second step is to have a reasonable name to bring everyone together again. Wan Jiang, this matter will wrong you. Of course, I don't want you to really poison yourself, as long as you If things get bigger, it will be enough to attract Luo Yaozong and others. As for Huang Bu, who chose you, it is because Luo Yaozong will definitely not come to Gaoping Village now, and your location makes it easier to lower his vigilance. "

The Zhehuang tribe is located between the Yalong tribe and the Tieyang tribe.

Wei Wanjiang said with understanding: "Don't worry, brother, I promise to handle this matter properly."

Bai Chang also understood, and then asked slightly worriedly: "Brother Shen, in addition to Luo Yaozong and Yalong tribe, Shuixi West and Dashi tribe also need to be careful. Although Yang Jin and Na Yan have different temperaments, they are both Difficult character."

Shen Min smiled slightly and said confidently: "Don't worry, Shuixi and Dashi will not be a problem."

He did not explain in detail, obviously to keep it confidential beforehand, and Bai Chang and Wei Wanjiang were very sensible and did not ask further questions.

The three of them talked about the details for a while. Shen Min looked at the two of them and said with great solemnity: "Two brothers, after the matter is completed, it will be the day when our three families will divide Shazhou equally. Shazhou's territory is not big, and the Seven Divisions are really too big. It’s crowded, and I’ve always felt that it’s enough to keep only three tribes. By then, the land, food, gold, silver, and people of the remaining four tribes will be divided equally between the three of us, and we will be rich together.”

Bai Chang and Wei Wanjiang looked at each other, stood up and said, "We are willing to recommend Brother Shen as the Lord of Shazhou!"

Shen Min did not pretend to refuse, but he still stood up, held their arms respectively and said: "Thank you two brothers for your support. Shen made an oath to heaven and earth today and will never betray you!"

"Swear to God, never give up!"

Bai and Wei made the oath without hesitation.

The three of them then made a blood alliance, and after the ceremony was completed, they all laughed in unison.

However, there seemed to be a somewhat complicated and chilling meaning in the overlapping laughter.
