Chapter 666 Water God City

I nodded, "Lu Shaoxun sent general Sun Baye to attack Nantong from Nandu, and Hui Yue sent people to ask for help. The Cai family also attacked Nanping Town in Jiangdong from the waterway, and Luo Cheng was extremely difficult to defend Nanping. Attacking from the front line, does Chaoyang have a plan?"

Bai Chaoyang fanned the feather fan lightly, still calm, obviously he had made a decision in his heart.

The combination of Cai and Lu's forces is not small. If the Jiangdong Gate is really breached, the people's hearts that have just been stabilized may be in chaos again.At the same time, Tuoba Chong was also attacking fiercely on the northern line. Youcheng was closer to the king's city, and the army might have to support the northern line at any time. Now the north-south attack is really not good.

"Brother Wang, don't worry. I've been thinking about strategies to deal with the enemy these days, and now I have some ideas. What does Brother Wang think of our power?" Bai Chaoyang asked with a smile.

I rubbed the bridge of my nose, "Our Jiangdong army is stronger than the Yan family and Cai family, and weaker than Beimo, Lu family, and Murong family."

Bai Chaoyang nodded with a smile and said, "Brother Wang is absolutely right. Youcheng on the northern line has Yanmen Pass as a fortress. I have ordered the party generals to guard the pass. There is also sufficient food, grass and ordnance in Youcheng. It is impossible for Tuoba Chong to capture it immediately. From Youcheng. So we have to focus on the south, the Cai and Lu families are actually just the Lingnan family.”

"Cai Hua, the head of the Cai family, is an incompetent person. Although his father Cai Dongsheng is the first elder and controls the power of the Cai family, he is greedy, ambitious but lacks talent. The most important thing is that the Cai family is currently in civil strife. In the middle, according to the news from Hua Die and Jin Yan, within the Cai family, the younger faction is headed by the original owner Cai Xiaoqi, and the relationship with Cai Dongsheng is extremely rigid. Therefore, the Cai family appears to be invincible in the world, but in fact it is a mess , break it with one blow." Bai Chaoyang talked and laughed happily, very calmly.

"What Chaoyang means is that we can get the Cai family without bloodshed?" I laughed.

Bai Chaoyang said: "Of course, when Cao Mengde entered Jingxiang, Liu Qi's mother and son surrendered without a fight under the instigation of Cai Mao, the ancestor of the Cai family. If the ancestor was like this, Cai Dongsheng is naturally not much better? And a greedy person like Cai Dongsheng People like to play power tricks, and they specialize in internal fighting, as long as we can support Cai Xiaoqi to come back to power, won't the Cai family turn enemies into friends?"

I laughed and said, "My dear brother, it's easy for you to do anything. I'm familiar with Xiaoqi and Cai Wenlong in the Cai family. I've practiced the fairy sword and haven't used it yet. I just happened to behead Cai Dongsheng's dog."

"Brother, it's a matter of course. It's just that my brother is the king, so I do everything by myself, so there are inevitably risks." Bai Chaoyang said worriedly, thinking that the last time I fell into the Yan family, I had already left a shadow on him.

I pulled him to sit down, poured him a drink, and smiled lightly: "Chaoyang, when it comes to state affairs, this royal city cannot be without you for a moment. You also know that my king's hegemony is nothing more than the mission and responsibility of heaven. Make plans and plan strategies It's not my appearance, I go out for a walk, it's right to relax my muscles and bones. Besides, Cai Xiaoqi is my bosom friend, and it's better for me to show up than outsiders."

Why doesn't Bai Chaoyang know about me? In fact, my reputation in the Taoist sect is all earned by my life. If I live in a palace in Wangcheng every day, it's as uncomfortable as being trapped in a cage for me.

"However, before that, you'd better let the Lu family stop and give me half a month. If the Lu family stops, the Cai family will naturally lose confidence." I said.

Bai Chaoyang smiled and said: "Don't worry, brother, I have already asked Ye Jianchao and Bai Chong of Hu Town to lead 500 elite soldiers to turn into Yan soldiers, borrow Yanhong's territory and go south to attack Lingnan. This time it is a real fight. If Lu Shaoxun doesn't take it seriously, I will Let Bai Chong choose his lair. At the same time, I have asked Tu Qiancheng and the envoy to lead [-] million taels of black gold to bribe Lu Kun, an important official of the Lu family. Lu Kun is a close friend of the King of Lingnan. Let them retreat to Nandu Town and temporarily give up attacking Nantong."

"Very good, once Ye Jianchao and the Lu family get into trouble, I'll go south." The stone hanging in my heart finally loosened, and I drank with Bai Chaoyang.

Bai Chaoyang clasped his hands and said, "To be honest, I have already issued the order a few days ago, but seeing that Brother Wang has worked so hard these days, I haven't had time to tell you in the future."

I nodded, "With you in charge of the affairs, I can rest assured that this matter is settled."

After staying for two days, news came from Huiyue in Nantong Town that Sun Baye had withdrawn his troops and returned to Nandu, and the two sides formed a confrontation.I knew that the war in the north must have had an effect. Ye Jianchao stormed Lingnan from the north, and Lu Shaoxun did not dare to attack Nantong unscrupulously.

Bai Chaoyang chose a good and auspicious day, and I took Deng Long and the fierce cat to the south immediately. I took Deng Long because he was clever and skilled in stealing. Come in handy.

Not to mention the fierce cat, the best spy in the entire Taoist sect, Bai Chaoyang originally wanted to assign me a few more smart people, but I refused. I was going to instigate a rebellion against the Cai family, not To assassinate, there are many people, but it is easy to reveal their identities.

On the same day, Tu Qiancheng, who possessed the talent of Zhang Yi, finally started his first diplomatic trip in his life. Bai Chaoyang personally sent a few leopard guards and elite talents to follow him into Lingnan to lobby the dignitaries in Lingnan to achieve a safe truce.

In order to avoid the suspicion of Cai's family, Deng Long and I put on makeup and sneaked into Cai's house in Jiangnan secretly as a horse merchant.

A few days later, Deng Long and I arrived at the Taoist land of Jingxiang Nine Counties, the city of water gods in the south, where the outstanding people are.

The Water God City is one of the two major cities in the south. The Cai family took the Water God as their ancestor, and they were always protected by the Water God. The Water God City was built on a dangerous puddle in the Yangtze River, like a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, stretching endlessly. In the city, there are several waterways flowing along the side of the street and tile houses, and there are colorful flowers in the south of the Yangtze River everywhere along the coast, and the antique water pavilion promenade is even more overwhelming.

Water God City exudes a peaceful atmosphere everywhere, a bit like a place for entertainment, in the river passing by, the sound of singers playing music and elegant scholars reciting poems can be heard from time to time, it is really a paradise on earth.

"It's said that there are beauties in the south of the Yangtze River. It's true that it can't be faked. If I knew that Water God City is so interesting, I should have come here." Deng Long sneaked a pair of thieves' eyes from time to time to take a look at the beauties passing by, full of joy.

I hugged the fierce cat and shook my head helplessly, but under such a peaceful and beautiful scenery, I really felt relaxed.Jiangnan really has a special charm, which makes people feel happy and forget their troubles.

The capital of the Water God City of the Cai family was built in the center, named Jingzhou Mansion, surrounded by four moats. It is rumored that there are dragons, fierce crocodiles and other monsters guarding the river. It would be extremely difficult to capture Jingzhou Mansion.

In fact, the current territory of the Cai family is very different from the former Jingxiang Nine Counties. The Water God City is not big, it is probably just a big town in the Jingxiang Nine Counties.

It's just that the Cai family was nostalgic for the past, and in order to attract Taoist experts from the nine counties of Jingxiang, the capital of the Cai family simply called itself Jingzhou Prefecture, which symbolized that the Cai family was still the agent and ruler of the old Jingzhou.

Walking into the outer city of Jingzhou Prefecture, although the streets are narrower, the boats on the river in the city and the pedestrians on the street are extremely busy and lively.

What makes me feel strange is that every household in the outer city is pasted with big red happy characters. Looking from a distance, the Jingzhou mansion is also full of joy, with red lanterns and red silk hanging everywhere.

At this time, the Spring Festival has already passed, and I don't know what is going on in the Jingzhou Mansion, so it is so lively.

I chose a tavern and sat in, ordered two bowls of water and wine, and listened to the people in the tavern discussing the general trend of the world. Although this is a place of fireworks, there are many people with insights. Brainwashing, foolish people who are completely ignorant of the general trend of the world are a hundred times stronger.

"Xiaoer, what kind of happy event is this for you guys, why is it so lively?" I pointed to the big red happy words posted on the street and asked the store's Xiaoer.

When I asked, Xiaoer smiled happily: "From an objective point of view, you must be from other places. You don't even know this. Miss Cai from Jingzhou Prefecture is getting married."

My heart skipped a beat, but I smiled calmly and said, "I'm a rice merchant from Jiangdong. This time I came to Jiangnan to find some business, but I don't know which lady from Jingzhou Mansion?"

Xiao Er immediately shook his head, sighed and said, "It's Master Cai."

"Lord Cai?" I was confused.

"Lord Cai was originally the Patriarch of the Cai family, Xiaoqi, but she voluntarily gave up the position of Patriarch and gave it to the current Patriarch. The Patriarch named her a long book, so everyone calls her Master Cai." Xiaoer said.
