Dragon Soul in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 157 Mysterious Visitor

Wherever there is water transportation in the world, there must be water gangs.

It's just a sentence, but it expresses the hugeness of the Cao Gang, but this hugeness lacks some cohesion. Of course, this is also a necessary condition for the Cao Gang to be allowed to exist. Once there is an uncontrollable sign, it will be suppressed immediately go down.

After being suppressed all the way by the red-clothed army, the high-level figures of the Cao Gang were seriously injured, but soon afterward, more and more scattered people from the water transport appeared. The gratitude, but the voice of crusade is more and more inflated.

Then Li Mingyang's layout destroyed Nanjing's Water Transport General Hall. This time, needless to say, it completely ignited the anger of the Cao Gang and unanimously targeted the red-clothed army. Now the red-clothed army seems to be fighting with the world. The momentum of being an enemy and crusade against the red-clothed army will be rewarded by the court.

However, in such a fanatical atmosphere of the entire Cao Gang, the leader of the Cao Gang and Hei Luosha, the head of the Heiyuntang, expressed their opposition uncharacteristically. The most important thing is the order of the leader. , but did not dare to have any presumptuousness, and Wang An also relied on his personal prestige to temporarily suppress the action of revenge against the Red Army.

Not long afterward, Hei Luosha, the master of Heiyuntang, went to Sichuan in person, hiding his identity along the way, and there was no rumor at all in the rivers and lakes, but along the way, he was still encountered countless interceptions and assassinations, trying to destroy her. action.

However, Black Raksha arrived in Sichuan safely after all, and reported all the way there. He thought he would wait for a while, but he didn't expect to see Zhu Gan soon.

Zhu Gan didn't know who the Cao Gang was, but the red-clothed army had too many enemies to deal with at the moment, so he was very busy, but he still took time out, tidied up his clothes a little, and hurried over, looking at the man at the door. He was born like a god of war, and he probably had a spectrum in his heart.

With a smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said loudly: "Oh! Rare guest, rare guest, long time no see, why are you interested in visiting Chengdu..."

Black Rakshasa Wang Yuling had a cold face, dressed in white clothes, spotless, floating like a fairy, so noble that people dare not look directly at her, I saw her standing in the middle of the lobby, staring at a painting of a maid in the hall with beautiful eyes Lost in ecstasy, I suddenly heard Zhu Gan's voice, and felt somewhat familiar in my heart.

Turning around suddenly, I saw Zhu Gan's annoying face, his face turned cold immediately, the temperature in the main lobby dropped a few degrees, and he snorted coldly: "I would rather never see each other, don't forget, you You still owe me some lives."

Zhu Gan didn't expect that this woman would not be polite to him at all, she was like this when she came up, her face darkened immediately, and her voice was quite majestic: "Wang Yuling, you are too presumptuous, if you have something to say, hurry up, if you have nothing to do, leave! I You probably aren’t used to the red-clothed army’s march meals.”

Wang Yuling didn't expect this guy to turn his back when he said that he would turn his back. The reason why she was so angry was because she was intercepted and killed along the way, she was in such a panic, and she almost lost her life. As soon as Zhu Gan's words rushed, anger surged up immediately.

He snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! If that's the case, then I'll take my leave. I just hope you can get through this calamity safely!"

After finishing speaking, he really turned around and left, but the cold-faced slave didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and followed Wang Yuling obediently, walking towards the outside.

Looking at Wang Yuling's resolute back, Zhu Gan was full of doubts. Wang An is such a strict person. He knew that Wang Yuling was not compatible with him, so why would he let her come to report the letter? This only shows one reason, the Cao Gang is about to leave. He's out of control.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. It seemed that somewhere, the game of chess in the world became more and more confusing, so that even he could not control it.

Quickly quickened her pace, stopped in front of Wang Yuling, and said in a harmonious voice: "Miss Wang, if you walk out of this door, then not only the Cao gang will be powerful, but even your adoptive father will be very powerful."

"You're looking for death." If Wang Yuling really wanted to leave, Zhu Gan would not be able to catch up, but she didn't expect Zhu Gan to catch up with such a sentence, which immediately annoyed her, and pointed like a sword, stabbing Zhu Gan with one finger. In his shadow, he could hear the whistling sound of piercing the air in his ear.

Wang Chengen beside him hadn't moved yet, the weird boy who was two steps away had already stabbed out with his sword, the speed of the sword was as fast as boundless, and he seemed to be gone forever.

Wang Yuling had never seen such a fierce and deadly sword speed before. She immediately dodged to the side and touched her waist. With a flick of the software, sword lights danced all over the sky. Clanking with that strange iron sword countless times, but had to fly back.

In contrast, the nameless boy was covered in wounds, while Wang Yuling flew like a bush without touching any leaves. She could tell the superiority at a glance, but what really shocked Wang Yuling was that she won the moves but lost the courage , and immediately said in a cold voice: "You are a lackey who is willing to be a slave for the sake of glory and wealth."

"That's enough, Wang Yuling, don't be too presumptuous. I have tolerated your presumptuousness again and again. Don't you really think that I can't do anything against people like you?" Zhu Qian drank coldly and took two steps. , standing in front of the unknown boy, at this time, he exuded a powerful and intimidating aura, he did not expect that he would be blessed with such a step, and he had some subtle feelings about "The Red Dragon Art of Fire Virtue" feeling.

Wang Yuling frowned beautifully, with a pair of phoenix eyes full of silhouettes like autumn water, and looked at Zhu Gan in confusion. At this time, he seemed to be a little different from before, he seemed to be much taller, and gave her a strong feeling oppression.

Her voice was also a little softer: "It's not that I'm presumptuous, it's just that you owe my adoptive father all of this. Do you know that the entire Cao Gang is going to deal with you and the Red Army? Once they are united, how terrifying it will be. You can easily enter Sichuan because of the Yangtze River. As long as the Cao Gang moves, your red-clothed army will become a tiger with its arms and legs broken."

Zhu Gan frowned. He didn't expect the situation of the Cao Gang to be so bad. Suddenly he thought of a possibility, why Wang Yuling left for Sichuan. Perhaps the Cao Gang had been overthrown at this time. With Wang Yuling's character, He must have offended a lot of people in the gang. The purpose of Wang An's asking Wang Yuling to come here was not to ask for help or to inform the Red Army, but to let her take refuge here.

Thinking of Wang An, Zhu Gan felt complicated, and sighed in a deep voice: "Miss Wang, you are tired from coming to Chengdu, so hurry up and rest!"

Wang Yuling didn't understand why this person wasn't in a hurry at all. Instead, she was in a hurry, and stopped Zhu Qian: "What's wrong with you, you're so kind as to be a donkey! My adoptive father is willing to be an enemy of the entire gang for you, you But you know how much this will affect his prestige."

"There has never been any prestige. It is ambition that really drives power. When ambition expands to a certain extent, there is no iron chain that can hold the beast of ambition." Zhu Gan said, and gently pushed Wang Yuling's hand away. , Wang Chengen glanced at Wang Yuling, and left behind Zhu Qian.

"The surname Zhu, what on earth do you mean!" Wang Yuling yelled loudly, not knowing Zhu Qian's real name.

"Miss Wang, you can finally get used to the climate of Chengdu in the future, and have a good rest! Let's talk about tomorrow." Zhu Gan waved his hand, and his voice came from afar.

Wang Yuling, master and servant, were left behind, staring blankly at Zhu Gan's leaving back.

Facing the menacing coalition forces from all sides, Zhu Gan felt very hopeless, so he chose to use a two-pronged approach, recruited a large number of elite soldiers, and formed an assault team to support the enemy's rear, and went to the rear of each army to destroy their supplies. , Grain and other logistics supplies.

They even dispatched the Ruishi Battalion to constantly harass the officers and soldiers marching.

Facing the coalition of 18 gentry, Qin Liangyu did not take the lead. First, with 18 soldiers in hand, he would be suspected by the court. Offending someone inadvertently and incurring their revenge, that would be more harm than good.

Therefore, the 18 troops are only coerced by all parties, and there is no clear follower. During this journey, they were harassed by the red army, and more than 3 soldiers fled. No matter how strict the military law is, they still The soldiers could not be stopped from fleeing.

You must know that if you fight here or are captured by deserters, one person will die, but if the young and old in the family do not have their young and strong labor force, the whole family may die.

Faced with the result of such a large-scale desertion, the entire camp of the officers and soldiers was filled with depression. The landlords were worried about the future, and the gentry were worried about the rebels. Only the thirty thousand stone pillar soldiers in Qin Liangyu's hands were as calm as a rock, It's more like Dinghaishenzhen. Without them, I am afraid that these landlords would be the first to retreat.

You must know that they are the ones who suffer the most from fighting during the busy farming season, but they have already torn their skins with the Red Army, and they have to fight this battle for their own land, not to be taken away by the Red Army.

The morale of the soldiers was low, and the generals were also war-weary, and there were all kinds of bad news. Qin Liangyu turned gray with worry, looked at the silent crowd below, and said with a smile: "Okay, you don't have to worry anymore. The Taishi is in charge of everything, and the Huguang soldiers are also helping Sichuan, and within a few days, the red-clothed army will be driven out of Bashu."

"General Qin, tell us honestly what the court's will is and why we haven't seen you in charge of the army for so long. We are willing to let you lead the army." A general asked with a slightly excited expression.

The generals also looked at Qin Liangyu with doubts. Although they knew in their hearts what the real reason for the soldiers to flee was, many people still found it difficult to accept such a large-scale desertion. , as long as Qin Liangyu accepts the post of military governor, everything can be solved.
