Astral Apostle - Chapter 237
[Two Hundred and Twenty Seven Backstab and Lien Chan]
As the martial arts conference came to an end, the people from all walks of life scattered and left, and Chen Feng’s deeds of picking the eight major factions on Yunxia Mountain also spread to the rivers and lakes, alarming the Quartet.
After this battle, both Jianghu and Lvlin finally recognized Chen Feng’s title as “the number one master in the world”, and he was in the limelight for a while.
It’s just that Chen Feng’s actions of taking away the secrets of various factions and horses is a wicked act. Seeing that he has become the number one master, few famous people in the world can be happy.
Generally speaking, being recognized as the number one master will be boasted and sought after by the rivers and lakes to some extent, but Chen Feng is a counter-example. He is not at all involved in being highly respected and admired by others, and he is more like an invincible Jianghu demon.
I don’t know how many Jianghusushi elders were heartbroken, and angrily denounced that this was a catastrophe in the martial arts, praying that the heaven would come to accept this demon.
But in any case, Chen Feng’s martial arts have overwhelmed the contemporary generation, and he is the first person in hundreds of years. This is the consensus of the world, and no one is questioning this point… Even if there are people who question it, the major sects will not agree.
And not long after Chen Feng established the status of the martial arts, the Huyang realm was once again turbulent, the other two green forest bandits joined forces to attack, and the imperial court also dispatched troops to take action.
For a time, Chen Feng became the target of public criticism and was attacked by three parties.
The change in the situation has made countless people from Jianghu come to the spirit, and they all understand the situation.
Chen Feng’s situation is unfavorable. If he can’t survive this battle, even if he is the world’s number one gangster, his forces will vanish into thin air.
If he can survive, he will become the overlord of the green forest in Huyang, and his position will become more and more stable.
Most people have no intention or qualifications to intervene, and just intend to watch the show.
But there are also Jianghu people who claim to be righteous, calling on the heroes to take advantage of Chen Feng’s belly and back to be the enemy, and rescue the captured men and horses from the claws.
The vast majority of people who have participated in the martial arts conference have only one reaction when they hear this kind of rhetoric – ignore you, even if I lose!
However, there are some newborn calves, or stakeholders, who are excited and feel that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
For a time, there were all kinds of rumors and rumors on the rivers and lakes, and the waves were confusing.
On the other side, Zhou Jing and the leader of the village had no time to take into account the reaction of the rivers and lakes for the time being, and devoted themselves to fighting against the two Jiao and the imperial court to suppress the bandits.
…
the tents are continuous, the
flags are hunting, the blue waters are endless, and countless warships are operating on the lake, in full swing.
Now Zhou Jing’s Dazhai has completed the war mobilization, and many soldiers are on standby to prepare for war, waiting to be dispatched at all times.
In the camp, many leaders sat down one by one and listened to Du Ying’s report on the current military situation.
“The owner of the village, the spies have found out that the ‘Jiang Jiao King’ Wan Chunyang attacked from the east with 40,000 troops and horses, and the ‘Bronze-head Dragon King’ Tan Peng sent more than 10,000 troops and horses, constantly harassing us from the north. The lake site. And all the prefectures in Huyang have gathered 30,000 elite generals, converged in Fanzhou, and attacked from the west…”
Du Ying explained the information in detail.
Although he used to be a subordinate of Fan Zong, his heart was changeable, and now he is really devoted to Zhou Jing, which makes Fan Zong feel unhappy, but there is nothing he can do.
After several contacts with Zhou Jing, he ordered Du Ying to be the dog-head military advisor.
“Three sides are attacked, and the enemy is attacked on the back and stomach, can the military division have a good plan?”
Zhou Jing sat on the main seat and asked.
Du Ying thought for a while and said, “The imperial court suppresses bandits and doesn’t talk about it, there is no room for change. Judging from the current situation, Wan Chunyang dares to send troops in large numbers, most of which have cooperated with the imperial court in private, and may suffer from it. Recruit. And although Tan Peng also sent troops to crusade against us, he only sent more than 10,000 people, only to harass, and the rest of the troops were still stationed on the site. Obviously, they were on guard. ” It makes
sense.” The
leaders nodded.
Du Ying paused, then continued:
“Last year, Tan Peng and Wan Chunyang joined forces to confront us, out of bitterness. Now Wan Chunyang is 80% on the line with the court, if we are removed, then Tan Peng will also It won’t end well, so we and Tan Peng are also in a bad relationship now, and maybe we can find a way to win over this person.”
Duan Yunfeng said in a deep voice, “What the strategist said is good, but also be careful that this is a plan, it is possible That Tan Peng also joined the court, deliberately pretending not to be of one mind, and tempting us to form an alliance with them, waiting to turn his head and stab us at the juncture.”
“It’s not impossible, but you always have to get in touch with him before you can make a judgment.”
Du Ying replied, then looked at Zhou Jing, handed over and asked:
“Zhaizhu, in my opinion, I should send an envoy to persuade Tan Peng, clarify the situation, and make him defect…”
Zhou Jing nodded his chair and looked at To Fan Zong, he asked: “Brother Fan, you have been an enemy of Tan Peng for many years. How much do you know about him? What kind of person is he?”
Fan Zong thought for a few seconds and replied, “This person was born in poverty, and he was born in poverty. They are fishermen on the river. They are oppressed by the government, they are angry, and they have a strong temperament. They regard the court as an enemy all the year round, and they are not likely to be recruited…”
After listening to Zhou Jing, he pondered for a while, and said slowly:
“So, no matter what. Whoever wins and who loses, Tan Peng’s situation is all embarrassing. This person may be able to lure him. This plan is feasible, and if you do it, let the messenger send me the conditions. I will be in front of Wan Chunyang. Fighting with the two armies of the imperial court, then Wan Chunyang has no time to take care of the rear, but he can persuade Tan Peng to turn his back and attack. The good thing is that no matter who wins or loses between me and the court, he can grow by this.”
Hearing this, the leaders looked at each other in dismay and hesitated.
Guo Haishen frowned and said, “Second brother, if I act like this, I can’t wait to be taken advantage of. We tried our best, but we let Tan Peng take advantage of it and make it for others as wedding clothes.”
Zhou Jing shook his head and explained:
“Now that we are attacking from three sides, although we have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, we are still weak. If we can make one side turn, the situation will be much easier. If we are not allowed to take advantage, how can Tan Peng agree? It is precisely to let him take advantage, consciously After growing up, he will be able to stand against the winner and have the power to protect himself, so he will temporarily join forces with us.
Moreover, if Tan Peng really does not serve the court, even if I do not mention this condition, he may not mean to take advantage of the fire to rob Wan Chunyang. Let’s stabilize him first. When we get a result, he may come out to pick peaches, but it’s a good thing to be able to deal with the enemy in a staggered way…”
The tactics of defeating Fan Zong, these three families must be on guard, and they will not take it lightly. Give him the chance to single-handedly capture the flag.
After all, he is only one person, so he can’t be separated from three sides. If he is reckless with three families, although there is still a chance of winning, the loss is definitely not small.
He can use force to be unparalleled on the battlefield, but strategically he doesn’t necessarily have to fight alone. If conditions permit, he doesn’t mind getting some points together, breaking them apart, and trying to reduce some battlefield pressure.
“Besides, if we win the battle, we will be able to obtain a lot of soldiers and armors. It is also a battle to support the battle. It is hard to say who will gain more.” Zhou Jing added to the leaders.
Everyone nodded slightly.
Du Ying pondered: “Well, in this way, the messenger needs to choose a clever person who can speak well in order to convince Tan Peng.”
Hearing these words, Li Chun’s figure flashed in Zhou Jing’s mind.
It’s a pity that this person is in Hongyun Mountain and is not the leader of his own family. Otherwise, it is very suitable for this guy to be the messenger.
He swept his gaze across the crowd, and quickly ordered a leader who later served as a messenger.
This person is called Zhu He, and his martial arts are shallow, but he is barely able to speak, and he is also responsible for the business of ushering and sending to this area on weekdays.
“So it’s settled. Brother Zhu He will be the messenger, meet with Tan Peng, and bring some elite soldiers as guards.”
Zhou Jing made a decision, and then said solemnly:
“Even if Tan Peng agrees, most of them are holding the oriole behind the plot. If you can’t fully believe it, you must guard against it.”
“This is natural.”
Everyone responded.
After the group discussed the strategy to meet the enemy, under Zhou Jing’s order, they each brought their troops and marched with the army.
…
In the twelfth year of Xinghe, at the end of March, Wan Chunyang, Tan Peng, and Huyang troops came out to encircle and suppress Chen Feng.
Chen Fengshui’s troops were divided, and they took Lu Xiangshui and Weizhou’s shore side, and they were strictly fortified.
In April, Chen Feng’s troops attacked Wan Chunyang’s army. The two sides fought several times on the water, each with damage. Wan Chunyang was defeated and retreated for the time being.
During this period, Chen Feng took the lead and repeatedly acted as a vanguard to break through the enemy’s formation. Wan Chunyang returned without success, which all stemmed from this.
On the other hand, Guo Haishen and others led another army to garrison the Danhu River and set up a Dazhai to guard against danger.
Regardless of the ebb and flow of the river, the official army forged ahead and fought for several days.
Guo Haishen’s department had sent people to do something on the upper reaches of the river, and many of the officers and soldiers were trapped in the mud and ran aground on the beach, so they had to abandon some of the warships and fled.
However, this plan blocked Jiang Dao, and it was difficult for Guo Haishen to chase after him.
To the north, Tan Peng harassed many important points in the lake area under Chen Feng’s command. He fought several times, winning and losing. He was temporarily blocked outside the main battle area, and he was entangled and did not march in a big way.
In May, the officers and soldiers gathered their troops and horses, turned to Hongzhou, and marched from the lower reaches of the waterway. Wan Chunyang turned to the upper reaches of the waterway, trying to attack Chenfeng Water Village from both sides, but Du Ying saw it through.
Chen Feng’s subordinates moved the people and livestock of the water village in advance, and some navy forces contained Wan Chunyang upstream, and secretly sent hundreds of people down the river in broken warships.
Downstream Guo Haishen led the army to deceive and defeated, retreating step by step, the officers and troops marched in parallel, encircling and suppressing the water villages along the lake one by one, but all the villages were empty, and when the warships were drifting, it was expected that the upstream Chen Feng was defeated, so they marched straight up with the intention of copying Cut back.
When they reached the mouth of the Yangping River, there was a sudden beating of drums, and Chen Feng’s soldiers rushed out.
On the other side, Wan Chunyang attacked for many days, but he was still unable to overcome it. He had no choice but to turn in. He joined the defeated soldiers of the official army and retreated to several key points for the time being. The urgent letter urged Tan Peng to support him.
At the beginning of June, a sudden change occurred, and Tan Peng turned his head and attacked Wan Chunyang’s site, stealing his butt.
Wan Chunyang heard the news, and the army was in chaos.
Taking this opportunity, Chen Feng made a massive advance, and the offense and defense followed suit.
In mid-June, Chen Feng, Wan Chunyang and the official army fought on the lake with tens of thousands of people.
Chen Feng overturned the river and the sea in the water, killing the enemy with no count, blood stained his pupils, and finally established the victory, leading the army to defeat Wan Chunyang and the officers and soldiers, capturing tens of thousands of enemies.
The only remaining enemy troops were severely injured, chased by their tails, nibbled up step by step, dying to death, fleeing, descending, and unable to return to the sky.
During an episode, dozens of masked Jianghu people tried to sneak into Chenfeng Dazhai and rescue the still detained people.
However, before they could sneak in, they were exposed. They were hanged and whipped for a day and a night, and then they were thrown into the cell and dictated cheats with the various factions.
On June 20, Wan Chunyang and many leaders were cornered and all were captured.
They fought against Chen Feng this time, but the result was a big defeat.
“The King of the River Flood Dragon” Wan Chunyang lost everything, and a large number of soldiers and horses were captured by Chen Feng, and the territory under his command was taken away by Tan Peng.
The bandit suppression officers and soldiers mobilized by the Huyang prefectures were almost wiped out, and most of them became soldiers in the hands of Chen Feng.
On the other hand, Tan Peng took over the power of Wan Chunyang, but he did not settle for the status quo, but immediately sent troops to attack Chen Feng.
At this juncture, Chen Feng’s navy was quite tired from the repeated battles, and he had not had time to turn his troops into combat power, which was an excellent opportunity to make a move.
Tan Peng had this idea early in the morning, and pretended to join forces with Chen Fengxu and Wei She, but in fact he was a oriole, taking this opportunity to solve the last competitor and become the final winner of Huyang.
However, due to Chen Fengfei’s heroic performance, Tan Peng was unable to attack for a long time.
Tan Peng knew that the opportunity was lost, and UU’s reading www.sonicmtl.com abacus was in vain. After weighing it, he would temporarily withdraw his troops.
Chen Feng’s army was tired from fighting for a long time, and he also acquiesced to this situation, temporarily withdrawing his troops and taking a rest.
The turmoil in Huyang lasted from March to August and lasted for nearly half a year. In the end, both Wan Chunyang and the officers and soldiers were divided. There were only two tyrants left in the green forest.
Although the two sides have died down, they are sharpening their knives in private, holding back their strength, preparing to completely solve their opponents and dominate Huyang.
Huyang’s officers and troops were seriously injured, and they were unable to intervene.
But for Tan Peng, the court still did not give up, and there was also the intention of recruiting An.
Now there are only two big bandits left in Huyang, and only Tan Peng can deal with Chen Feng.
If we can recruit An Tan Peng and use this person to kill Chen Feng, not only can we get rid of the serious troubles of his confidants, but also the troubles of Huyang bandits can be eliminated together, and the place will be stable.
With such a “win-win” idea, the imperial court endured the displeasure last time and once again sent an envoy to visit Tan Peng.
