Chapter 1 Three points of the world

Luzhou, Qingfenggang.

Li Hansheng looked at the countryside at the foot of the mountain with a little sad face.

The spring breeze awakens all things, and birds and beasts are hiding in winter and are active in the countryside again. Tens of thousands of soldiers appear together, without seeing their heads in front and without seeing their tails in back. They gather and grow, and move towards the distant West.

The sword saint Zhu Liu stood beside him and said softly: "King of Chu Song Zhengping just announced the world that he supported the King of Wu to impeach the emperor, and he officially turned to the three kings in the east. The four kings had secretly reached an agreement that after the emperor was dismissed, they would discuss who would inherit the throne. Now it seems that the situation is not very good."

Li Hansheng, Zhu Liu, and even all the sects of the Eagle Tower were all borne by blood feuds without exception. People in the martial arts world pay attention to blood debts and blood payments. Li Hansheng secretly stayed in secret for so many years, so he must have been doing more than just changing an emperor. He wanted to destroy the Song family!

He defected to the King of Wu because the King of Wu lost his beloved son and had an unjust attitude towards the court. Li Hansheng supported the King of Wu to take power, hoping to pull the three kings in the east and let the three kings in the east and break out of civil war. At the same time, he secretly used the inner and outer forces to train the inner and outer forces to release the Northern Qi army into the pass.

This matter has been planned very early. Last year, Chang Shijian asked Prince Zuo to ask Prince Zuo of Northern Qi for a jade pendant. Prince Zuo Jiang Yan agreed because Li Hansheng had already tied the line with Prince Beiqi.

As long as the purpose is achieved, according to Li Hansheng's calculations, the Dayue court will definitely be under great pressure against the three kings of Northern Qi and Eastern countries who have been raising their energy for 60 years. They will win over the two kings of Chu and Su to compete, and the whole world will become a third.

The Dayue court had the two kings of Chu and Su, and their troops were strong. At the same time, facing the Northern Qi and the three kings in the eastern part, they would not fall into decline. The three sides were in a tug-of-war until the national strength of Dayue was almost exhausted. Li Hansheng led the rebel army to join forces with the Northern Qi and give Dayue a back stab to achieve the goal of destroying the Song family.

But the current situation obviously did not follow the route planned by Li Hansheng.

Li Hansheng thought the court would win over the King of Chu, but because the emperor was tough, the King of Chu turned around and formed an alliance with the King of Wu.

The troops summoned by the three kings of Wu, Wei and Yu, plus the strong men and militia recruited at zero hour, were 700,000. If the 300,000 troops of the King of Chu were added, the force would be more than one million.

On the court, the King of Shu had just suffered a major disaster and could be regarded as non-existent. The troops that could be used under his command were the Western Liang Army, Guanzhong Army, and the Western Liao Army. The Guanzhong Army and the Western Liao Army wanted to block the Northern Qi's journey south. Even if the court allowed the vassal kings to usurp the throne, it would be impossible for the two troops to be withdrawn. The only troops that could be used to block the four kings' coalition were left.

If the entire Xiliang army attacked, it would naturally be able to block the four kings' coalition forces, but if the entire Xiliang army was gone, the entire northwest would be lost. The court finally transferred only 50,000 Xiliang troops to come.

The 50,000 Xiliang Army, plus the government soldiers and militias in Guanzhong, came to block the four kings' coalition forces with more than one million troops. No matter how Li Hansheng thought, the court could not stop it.

If the court cannot stop this and the four kings successfully arrive in Chang'an, then the next step will be Song Ji abdicated, the new king ascended the throne, and the army will be integrated to counterattack Northern Qi. After one set, Da Yue still has the surname Song, and Northern Qi will have to go back to Mobei again.

After the world was pacified, Li Hansheng would not say that he would take revenge and hate. He probably would have to make a contribution to the dragon and fulfill his dream of "learning civil and martial arts and reaping his imperial family." If this was known by his biological daughter and his deceased wife, would he really become a ruthless beast who abandoned his wife and daughter?

The sword saint Zhu Liu was burdened with blood feuds of the family and was definitely unwilling to help the vassal kings seek hegemony. Faced with the current situation, he asked:

"What should I do in the future? Could it be that I would pull the rebel army to ask the court to recruit peace and help block the four vassal kings?"

This is naturally a joke. The rebel army is in Jiangnan, and there are only more than 200,000 scattered soldiers and brave soldiers. We can't turn against each other now and chase the four kings' coalition forces to fight.

Li Hansheng was silent, shook his head and said, "The general trend is like this, it depends on whether Xu Buling can stop the four kings from entering Guanzhong. As long as Xu Buling can stop for a year and a half, let the Northern Qi gain a foothold north of the Yellow River, and there are still some fights,"

Zhu Liu stroked the hilt of the sword with his fingers and looked up at the northwest: "Only 50,000 Xiliang troops, plus a bunch of unproductive soldiers, to block the four kings and millions of people. My father-in-law can't help, alas...we are really unable to play around with the world's general trend."

Li Hansheng knew that Zhu Liu and the Lu family in the East China Sea were a little disappointed, but it was no longer easy to disrupt the situation in the world. He turned around and walked down the mountain and said calmly:

"In the chaotic times, the situation changes rapidly. We plan to wait for opportunities. There will always be a turnaround."

Zhu Liu is just a swordsman and doesn’t know much about the general trend of the world. He just nodded about this, thought about it and said:

"Xu Buling can only use one thousand, if he leads troops to fight, he might also use one hundred. 50,000 Xiliang Army, and one hundred, it means five million. He will directly push from Guanzhong Daoping to Jiangnan, and then destroy the Song family with the backhand. Is this matter done?"

"If that kid can use 50,000 people to push Jiangnan, I will call him his father-in-law in the future."

"After a word from the world is said, it is hard to pursue, so that's what we say."

"?"

———

Three thousand miles away.

Fifty thousand Xiliang troops were drawn from various places to gather. The army was not moving fast and had just left the jurisdiction of Yongzhou. Xiao Qi and his family left first and had already arrived at the wharf on the banks of the Wei River.

The ships in the palace docked here, and construction was carried out near the dock, and thousands of civilians worked in it. During the war, the construction started day and night. In addition, the strong financial resources accumulated by the Su Palace for many years, in just over ten days, the military weapon workshop covering an area of ​​100 acres had gradually taken shape. The veteran blacksmiths, carpenters, masons, etc. who were hired from the Twelve Prefectures of Xiliang had already received training from Tian Qisheng in the houses built next to him at midnight.

Xiao Qi was so idle that she went to the military equipment workshop to inspect the work. Zhu Manzhi and Song Yufu were so tired of being on the carriage. They were both on the boat for half a year, so they were not interested in returning to the boat directly and went to the town near the dock together. Lu Hongluan was a little bored and went shopping together to relax.

Xiao Xiang'er was not treated so well and shared the identity of a princess with her sister. She naturally could not show up again when her sister went out, so she could only return to the boat honestly and waited for Xiao Qi to finish her inspection and set sail.

In the building boat, the maids were tidying up inside and out.

On the terrace at the end of the boat building, Xiao Xiang'er leaned against the soft collapse a little lazy, playing with the small mahogany sign in her hand, basking in the spring sun.

After being separated from Xu Buling for ten days, Xiao Xianger missed the days when his good brother was around her. She wanted to squint her eyes and sleep for a while but couldn't sleep, so she asked:

"Qiao'e, how long will Xu Buling come back?"

Qiao'e sat next to her, envious of Yuenu who could go out for a walk. She sighed after hearing this:

"The boat is walking fast, wait near Chang'an first. The little prince has just left Yongzhou and is more than a thousand miles away from Chang'an. Tens of thousands of people walk slowly together, so it takes less than half a month."

Xiao Xiang'er was a little desperate and leaned against the couch listlessly. She began to think about what kind of surprise she should give Xu Buling...

Why don’t you write ‘I am your aunt’ under Hongluan’s belly?

While thinking about it, footsteps came from the room behind me, as if a woman came in with something in her arms and put it down, and walked out again.

I thought it was the maid who was moving things, so Xiao Xiang'er and Qiao'e didn't care. But after a moment, two gazes suddenly came from behind.

Qiao'e was puzzled when she heard the sound. She looked back and saw a big white goose tied with her wings and claws, lying straight on the floor of the outer room.

"Hey—what maid is this? Why did you bring the poultry here?"

Qiao'e's eyes were a little annoyed. She was about to get up to train her maid who didn't understand the rules when she suddenly saw a woman leading two puppies into the room at the door of the room.

The woman was wearing a gray-blue skirt, with a headscarf wrapped around her head, her eyes were full of spirituality, her red lips were like cherry blossoms, and her eyebrows were like willow leaves, with a bit of a unique charm of a good little woman.

Qiao'e was a palace maid before. She was shocked when she saw the appearance of the visitor. She instinctively stood up, folded her hands around her waist and saluted, but immediately felt something was wrong, and she opened her mouth and was stunned.

In the room, Cui Xiaowan let go of the dog leash, closed the door, and then raised her hand to untie the turban on her head. When she found Qiao'e looked over, Cui Xiaowan was not at all unusual, so she nodded slightly:

"Qiao'e is free from gifts. Mother, I'll stay here for a while. Do you like to sleep inside or outside?"
