The Bad Man was nearly dead at the beginning and was picked up by Yang Shuzi and taken home

two days later

凤翔

In the ceremonial hall of Prince Qi's mansion, there are three corpse ancestors present, Prince Qi's brother and sister, An Dongjun, Zhang Xuanling, and Miao Luantong. The one with the lowest power is actually in the late stage of the Great Heaven Realm!

A group of people were discussing the upcoming battle here.

"Everyone, Liang and Jin have been fighting for several months. Zhu Youzhen is using Zhang Zifan as bait outside Luzhou to lure Li Xingyun to rescue them. When they succeed, they will definitely go to Luzhou to recuperate.

Zhu Youzhen had mobilized a large number of troops and transported grain to the border of Liang and Jin a few months ago. His intentions towards the Three Jins were obvious.

So now, it is only a matter of time before he takes Luzhou with all his strength.

However, although Li Cunxu's military force in Luzhou was not enough to fight against Zhu Youzhen, it was impossible for him to give Luzhou to Zhu Youzhen easily. He would definitely send people to defend it to the death.

Because Luzhou is the important road in Hedong, once it is lost, Liaozhou will also be in danger, and Fenzhou will be the next. Once these two cities are captured by the Liang army, Taiyuan will be in danger.

Therefore, he will definitely go back to Taiyuan for help. Together with the reinforcements from Shangdang, Tunliu, and Huguan, when they return to defend, Zhu Youzhen will not be able to resist. In other words, Luzhou City can only be controlled by Zhu Youzhen for a short while. "

Listening to Anton-kun's speculation about the next situation, Li Maozhen took over his words and said:

"Given Li Cunxu's personality, since he has called for reinforcements and Zhu Youzhen has also attacked Luzhou, he will never let the matter go.

So next he will chase the Liang army all the way, determined to capture a few cities and establish merits, so as to keep the other brothers quiet and win the favor of the one in Taiyuan. "

An Dongjun nodded, "Yes, but it's not enough, because Zhu Youzhen may not fight to the death with Li Cunxu.

If he doesn't defend Luzhou and turns back to defend Zezhou, then all our plans will be useless.

So I will go to Luzhou under the name of Tongwenguan to trip up Zhu Youzhen and add fuel to the fire between the two of them.

In short, Zhu Youzhen must not easily withdraw from Luzhou. At least he must wait until Li Cunxu returns to defend the city and let them fight. "

Without waiting for anyone to answer, Anton continued:

“Before Li Cunxu gets reinforcements and returns to defend Luzhou and starts a full-scale war with Zhu Youzhen, I need the two corpse ancestors, Hou Qing and Ying Gou, to go to Tongzhou and Shangzhou to act as internal support.

But you cannot show up, and you don't need to do anything too aggressive. You just need to make some adjustments to the city walls and gates.

Brother-in-law, Granny Tong, several holy ladies, and Liu Zhijun should also be divided into three teams and be ready. When Li Cunxu makes a move, you should follow him and immediately go to Sanzhou to catch Liangguo off guard as quickly as possible..."

Hanba asked: "Brother An, what about me?"

Anton Jun smiled and said, "Brother Hanba, you have more tasks to do. I need you to make some simple explosives. The more the better!"

Hanba patted his chest and said, "Leave this to me, Hanba. I will ensure that the quantity is sufficient."

Next, Anton Jun analyzed the current situation on the huge sand table, as well as the route of the princes' attack on Liang State, and how to fight Qi State and Shizu. Of course, there were also supplements from Li Maozhen, the empress and others.

In the end, the holy ladies led by Miao Luantong took Li Jihui and other generals to Chang'an (they had to pass through Chang'an when going to Huazhou), Li Maozhen led people to Tongzhou, and Zhang Xuanling followed Liu Zhijun to Shangzhou. The three teams each led 20,000 soldiers to capture the three states.

After all three parties succeed, they will capture Huazhou in one fell swoop, and then the three armies will gather together and march eastward all the way to Hezhong Prefecture.

In the end, it depends on the actions of Zhu Youzhen and Li Cunxu to decide which final plan to implement.

What we are going to discuss today is what Anton-jun mentioned last time in Raojiang that he needed the help of all the corpse ancestors.

For Ying Gou, the trip to Tibet just happened to satisfy the need to kill people in order to practice the dual soul-in-oneness method, because there were enough people for her to kill there, so it was not considered as helping, but rather a mutual cancellation.

As for Hanba, after he met his future wife, it was no big deal for him to ask Anton Jun for help.

Not to mention Hou Qing, because they have the master-disciple bond, he does whatever Anton Jun says, not to mention that he is now familiar with his elder brother-in-law.

Finally, as for Zhang Xuanling, Anton Jun promised him that he would help him get revenge after this matter was over, so he naturally agreed.

……

After everyone left, the empress came to his side and hugged him affectionately, "Old man, your own safety is the most important thing."

"With my good wife around, I value my life more than anyone else."

Li Zhaozhao didn't say anything. She knew that the more relaxed Anton Jun spoke, the more dangerous the situation would be. She just hugged him tighter.

Anton-Jun also hugged her tightly with some reluctance, "Don't worry!"

Three days later, at the hour of You, on a huge chariot on the top of a mountain outside Luzhou City, Zhu Youzhen drank water and looked calmly at the sea of ​​fire in Luzhou City.

"Report!" A soldier came hurriedly.

Zhu Youzhen lowered his head slightly and looked at the soldier kneeling below. "What's the situation? Have you found Li Xingyun?"

"Your Majesty, the soldiers have already informed the entire city that harboring a wanted criminal is a capital crime..."

"Hmm?" Zhu Youzhen's eyes widened and he sat up suddenly. "I'm asking if you found it?"

"Uh... there's still no trace of him." The soldier replied in a weak tone.

Zhu Youzhen stood up angrily, smashed the bowl in his hand to the ground, and said angrily, "A bunch of rubbish, do you really want me to go to Luzhou and do it myself?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down..."

"I'll go to you!"

Zhu Youzhen was so angry that his face turned ferocious. He immediately stepped forward and kicked the soldier down the mountain, then said to the soldier next to him.

"Announce to the whole city that I want to make a bet with Li Xingyun."

"Yes..."

After the soldiers withdrew, Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhong Xiaokui who was standing beside him, "Xiaokui, find out where that secret letter came from for me!"

Just now, someone put a secret letter in Zhong Xiaokui's tent.

The above analysis shows that although Li Xingyun and his team rescued Zhang Zifan, Zhang Zifan was bound by Zhong Xiaokui's Nether Water Silk and was also poisoned by the Xuanming Sect's cold poison. Lu Linxuan was also seriously injured.

If Li Xingyun wants to detoxify him and heal Lu Linxuan, he must rest well. Now the nearest and most suitable place for rest is Luzhou, so Li Xingyun can only choose to go to Luzhou.

After Zhang Zifan is cured of the poison, he will definitely repay Li Xingyun. It just so happens that there is a lantern festival in Luzhou now, so there is a high possibility that Li Xingyun is in Luzhou.

Zhong Xiaokui quickly showed the letter to Zhu Youzhen, and after a quick analysis he found that it seemed to make sense.

It just so happened that they were also going to attack Luzhou, and thought this was a good opportunity, so they might as well take this chance to complete both the tasks of taking Luzhou and arresting Li Xingyun at the same time.

So the attack on Luzhou happened just now.

-

at the same time

In a dilapidated temple outside the city, Li Xingyun and his group sat around a campfire, discussing why the Liang army knew the whereabouts of their group.

"Da da da……"

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the dilapidated temple, accompanied by the creaking sound of the wooden door, and more than a dozen people limped into the dilapidated temple.

Everyone was dirty and in a very miserable state. Some of them had injuries on their bodies. They were obviously civilians who had just escaped from the clutches of the Liang army in Luzhou City.

Li Xingyun and his group breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the person coming was not Liang Jun.

"What's the situation in the city now?"

"When can we go back again?"

The people who had already arrived at the dilapidated temple looked at the people who had just come in and asked impatiently.

A middle-aged man sighed and said, "Oh, don't mention it!

This time, Luzhou was hit by a sudden disaster. What was said about...the orphan of the previous dynasty...Li Xingyun kidnapped the people of the Daliang Emperor and fled to Luzhou City.

They also said that Li Xingyun had some treasure... The Emperor of Daliang wanted it, and since there was a war recently, he started with Luzhou."

Li Xingyun and others stared blankly at the people who had just come in, not knowing how to face them, with mixed feelings in their hearts.

Then the middle-aged man continued, "Also, the Daliang Emperor captured a thousand people in the south of the city and lit a Panlong incense."

The woman holding the child beside him continued his words, "She said she made a bet with Li Xingyun. If Li Xingyun didn't show up after the incense burned out at dawn, she would kill all of them without leaving a single one alive."

"what?"

After hearing these words, Lu Linxuan and others felt their hearts tighten suddenly. They didn't know what to say and just looked at Li Xingyun in unison.
