Chapter 268 The Eleventh Sword

Author: purple water

Zhao Tong opened the envelope and took out the newspaper from his residence. He saw that it was in the form of an official newspaper. It was a major military matter that the imperial court sent to various places to appease the envoys.

At that time, Luzhou City was lost, and the Huainan West Road pacification envoy followed Deng Xunwu to defeat Haozhou, so this newspaper was naturally sent to him.

Zhao Tong just caught his eye for a moment and then his expression changed.

The top piece of military information is that the rebel flag was officially raised in Liangshanbo, Jezhou, Shandong. The thieves led their troops down the mountain and out of the water, and fought in all directions. They won many times on the way and had conquered several counties.

Zhao Tong thought for a while, this should have been discussed between Song Jiang and Wang Qing during the Luzhou Challenge. Raising troops to respond was a way for the rebels to unite with each other. He just didn't know that Wang Qing's side was defeated, and Liangshan's side was going to fight again.

how.

Zhao Tong continued to look down, and sure enough, there were several rebellions. Generally speaking, rebellions such as a hundred or ten people in a small mountain village would not be reported to the official. Those who were reported were relatively powerful rebel forces that threatened the state and county.

.

Zhao Tong thought about it for a moment and found out that except for Liangshan, the other companies were not really strong. They started the rebellion simply by cooperating with Wang Qing and trying to take advantage of the situation.

Once Wang Qing is wiped out on his side, those families will probably disperse even if they don't surrender, or they will continue to return to the mountains to entrench themselves.

On the other side of Liangshan, the imperial court sent soldiers and horses from Suizhou, Zhengzhou, Chenzhou, Xuzhou, and Dengzhou to encircle and suppress. The soldiers and horses from these five states numbered only a few thousand to less than 10,000. They were all local forbidden troops, and their combat power was not as good as that of Gyeonggi.

of the Imperial Guard.

Zhao Tong was not optimistic about this, and the person leading the troops was a direct bachelor from Chao Shang, who had no military knowledge at all.

As for the other groups of thieves, Emperor Daojun reactivated Tong Guan and gave him three thousand soldiers, asking him to join the local army when he went to the place and attack them one by one.

This is not a good job either. The three thousand people Tong Guan leads are actually the Imperial Guards, but there are several groups of thieves. Not to mention the victory or defeat, just running around will kill you.

At the moment, the main thing is to look at the Huainan war. If his side wins, Tong Guan will naturally do well, and Liangshan will also restrain himself.

If he fails to regain the Huainan West Road for a long time, the war in various places will surely intensify, and by then I am afraid that he will have no choice but to send the Western Army to quell the rebellion.

Zhao Tao frowned. In addition to these, there was Fang La in the south who was working hard. That was the real boss.

The Jurchens will definitely attack the Liao Dynasty in a big way next, and we don't know what the Liao Congress plans to do, and whether Emperor Daojun has any intention of giving up on the Maritime Alliance.

Zhao Tong's head was as big as a bucket. He called Huang Gu and said, "Buy a bucket of sour plum soup."

At present, order in Luzhou City has gradually been restored, and the vendors on the streets have come out to do business.

Although Luzhou's vitality was damaged by successive battles, fortunately it was a thousand-year-old city with a strong foundation. After Wang Qing conquered it, it was run as the royal capital without much damage, so it recovered very quickly.

After a while, Huang Gu brought in a wooden barrel, and also carried two ladles in his hand, saying: "Master, I don't have any pots and bowls, but I even bought the ladles."

Zhao Tong nodded and walked over. Huang Gu handed him a gourd gourd and opened the lid of the wooden barrel. Zhao Tong saw the eye-catching color and refreshing smell of the sour plum soup, so he couldn't help but scoop up a full gourd. After drinking it,

Feel energetic.

Huang Gu then scooped it up and drank it, and while drinking, he said: "Sir, I have learned a lot about Li Zhu's sword skills these past two days, and I feel that I was wrong in what I said before. The breaking sword style may not be impossible to create."

"Oh?" Zhao Tong looked at him: "How much of Li Zhu's swordsmanship do you remember?"

Huang Gu suddenly felt ashamed and said: "He drew the sword too fast. I didn't even register half of it. I only remembered 30% at most."

Zhao Tong said: "Do you want me to write to you?"

Huang Gu hurriedly put down the gourd and ladle, rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "That's good, I know the young master must have remembered everything."

The two of them had known each other since they were young, but they both liked to dance with guns and sticks when they were still young. They often walked together on the Zhouqiao Bridge to wrap their heads. At that time, Zhao Tong did not become a disciple, and Huang Gu just practiced according to Wanshou Daozang. When he saw the market

Some people are doing tricks, so they just stand aside and learn from them.

Huang Gu could usually remember 70 to 80% of it, but Zhao Tong could remember everything. If Huang Gu couldn't remember anything, he would go back and ask Zhao Tong, and Zhao Tong would draw it with a pen and the two of them would study it together.

In fact, being able to memorize 70% to 80% of it is already a great thing. Huang Guyu is extremely talented in learning martial arts, but it is hard to compare with Zhao Tong, who has a photographic memory.

Li Zhu's sword speed was so fast that it was rare in the world. Ordinary warriors might not be able to remember even a single point of it. Huang Gu could only remember 30% of it, which was a rare feat.

Zhao Tong said: "Li Zhu's ten deadly swords are still full of meaning!"

Huang Gu said: "Sir, I have also noticed that there should be an eleventh sword in the life-threatening sword technique. I guess Li Zhu did not finish the deduction completely, so he ended with the tenth sword."

Zhao Tong nodded, looked at Huang Gu and said, "Can you continue to push it?"

Huang Gu thought for a moment and said: "Yes!"

Zhao Tong looked at his confident look and said: "Li Zhu uses all fast swords, and you are not good at fast swords. How can you use the eleventh sword?"

Huang Gu said: "The ultimate change has occurred. Li Zhu's tenth sword has reached its extreme speed and it is difficult to go any faster. At this time, it is not necessary to push the sword's strength and speed. You can push the sword's move."

Zhao Tong said: "Is it true that it can't go any faster?"

Huang Gu thought again and said after a long time: "It's almost impossible."

Zhao Tong said: "Then you push it down and try it, and then study the broken sword style."

Huang Gu picked up the gourd and drank the sour plum soup, saying, "Master, don't you recommend the eleventh sword?"

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "Want to compete with me on who can push out the eleventh sword first?"

Huang Gu shook his head and said: "I think that after the young master is pushed out, I can get more details. After all, it was the young master who attacked Assistant Li."

Zhao Tong said: "I have thought about it, but the method is different from what you said. I still have to do the word "quick" to the best of my ability. But I am physically and mentally exhausted from the war all day long. How can I have time to practice fast swords!"

Huang Gu blinked when he heard this and muttered: "There is time to study the meaning of scriptures, but there is no time to practice swordsmanship."

Zhao Tong said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't forget, you are still the flag bearer."

Huang Gu whispered: "But you can't forget it. I don't know who said it before, or something... It will only affect the speed of the sword."

Hearing this, Zhao Tong looked at him carefully and suddenly smiled and said: "This time Wang Qing is defeated and I go back. I wonder if the officials will send people to attack Tian Hu again. If they are sent to my head, you can sneak over and respond internally."

Huang Gu was stunned when he heard this: "Master, how can I be an internal agent? What if something goes wrong?"

Zhao Tong said: "It's undeniable. I can't take risks in everything. Once or twice is enough for the White Dragon Fish suit. The incident of the Luzhou Competition this time will inevitably spread in the future. I can't do this again."

Huang Gu thought for a while and said, "Young Master is right, but it's okay for my subordinates to act as internal agents. But I'm afraid Tian Hu doesn't know how to set up a stage, so he might not have a chance to sneak in."

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "This matter is easy to handle. I made several plans with Qiongying before she left. One of them is that you and her fall in love at first sight, and then you follow her and join Tian Hu's army."

"Ah?" Huang Gu was stunned when he heard this, and the gourd in his hand fell to the ground, saying: "Young Master, this is absolutely impossible..."
