Chivalrous Song Dynasty

However, he thought to himself that it would take at least 40 years of hard work to reach this level.

Chapter 409

After a while, the beef brisket was cooked through, Bai Sheng gently put the wooden plate on the table, and reminded lightly: "General Shangguan, it's your turn."

Where does Shangguan Jiannan still have the slightest desire to win?He was completely convinced, and immediately knelt down on the ground: "My lord's miraculous skill is so great that it is really hard for the final general to catch up with it. If I just offend you abruptly, I ask you to punish me."

Bai Sheng nodded and said, "Then you can get up, those who don't know are not guilty, now who is questioning me to take over the case of Tang Long?"

All the officials were full of flattery and expressed that they had no objection. In fact, they didn't mind the imperial envoy forcibly taking over the trial right. Let alone the military trial, even the civil trial was up to him.

Bai Sheng walked out of the table and patted Tang Long on the shoulder lightly, "Follow me from now on."

Tang Long was overjoyed at his narrow escape, and immediately fell to his knees and kowtowed. Bai Sheng only stretched out his hand to help him up, but he was not too polite.

After all, Shangguan Jiannan did not forget the task entrusted to him by Master Zhong Dao, he stepped forward and bowed to salute: "Mr. Zhong invites you to come over to talk about it."

Bai Sheng swept away the warm spring breeze on his face, and said coldly: "What qualifications do you think Zhong Shidao has for me to go to his mansion to meet him?"

Shangguan Jiannan was speechless, he said in his heart that just because of Di Lie's high martial arts, Mr. Zhong would not be qualified to rely on his old age to sell his old age, he hesitated and said: "The last general just passed on the message, and dare not ask your lord what to do."

"That's right, go back and tell Master Zhong to adjust his position." Having said this, Bai Sheng glanced at everyone in the hall, "Farewell!"

Today, he is establishing his prestige in Yan'an Mansion, besides saving Tang Long, he has another purpose, which is to make Di Lie famous.

He has controlled the dissemination of news in this city, and it's time to rectify his name for Big Brother Di—Brother Di's low profile is a virtue of Big Brother Di, but I can't be underestimated by the world because of my performance in Bai Sheng.

Of course he didn't know that Di Lie was afraid of being valued by others, Di Lie didn't tell anyone about this, including Bai Sheng.

After Bai Sheng led the people out of the government office, he left the city immediately, and Shangguan Jiannan returned to Jinglue Mansion to return his orders.

After hearing Shangguan Jiannan's narration, Zhong Shidao couldn't help but gasp, is there such a martial art in the world?

Zhong Shidao's martial arts are family martial arts, passed down from his grandfather Zhong Shiheng, and Zhong Shiheng's martial arts also has a long history.

100 years ago, Zhong Shiheng worshiped under Wang's family in Luoyang, a family of martial arts, and learned the cloud-turning palm and the cloud-cutting knife.

The Wang family of Luoyang is the descendant of Wang Shichong at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty.

Not to mention how good Wang Shichong's martial arts are, but Wang Renze, Wang Shichong's nephew, once fought alone against seven top Shaolin monks without losing.

Chong has been immersed in cloud-turning palm and cloud-cutting saber techniques for many years, and he thinks that there are few opponents in the world, but because he is the general of the Western Army, he can't find those martial arts masters to try his martial arts.

But even a master like him can't imagine that there is Di Lie's superb and mysterious palm strength in the world. He can fry beef with his palm.

Although he believed that Shangguan Jiannan would not exaggerate, he could not understand this situation anyway. It would be unscientific to use a popular vocabulary in later generations to describe it.

So he knew that Di Lie must have done the palm that his beloved disciple Han Shizhong got, but now he knew that there was nothing he could do, no matter whether it was an official position or a martial arts competition, he had no choice but to look up to the sky and sigh.

After a long sigh, there was a long silence, and he suddenly asked, "Where is this Di Lie at the moment?"

Shangguan Jiannan said: "Already out of the city, the general feels that maybe he is really going to attack the Hengshan villages."

Master Zhong said disdainfully: "Impossible! Even if his martial arts are high, can he kill all the 5 horses guarding the Xixia villages? Even if the internal force you see is real, he can at most It can only be consumed ten times in the same way, and the internal energy will be exhausted!"

Shangguan Jiannan deeply agrees with this statement, not to mention Di Lie's unreal way of volleying through the paper and breaking bricks, even his own palm force that directly slaps the rice paper with the palm, he can't do it continuously Click more than a hundred times.

Internal strength will always be exhausted, and then it needs to be recuperated to recover or even improve.

So he said, "What Xianggong said is very true, but if this is the case, why does he still insist on entering Hengshan?"

Zhong's teacher's expression became more dignified, and he said in a deep voice, "Either you are ambitious and talented, and you are eager for quick success, or you have other schemes to hide evil intentions!"

"Having evil intentions? What does Mr. Xiang mean, is it possible for him to defect to the enemy?"

"Exactly! Last night, Shizhong took people to deliver food and grass to his barracks, and saw that his troops had their own luggage! There were two to 3000 people guarding a luggage convoy, but even the soldiers inside them were not allowed to approach. That means What?"

"Gold and silver treasures?"

"My commander guessed it too! To conquer Hengshan with an incomparably rich gold and silver treasure? Have you ever heard a more absurd joke than this one?"

Shangguan Jiannan's expression changed, he said urgently: "Master, since you already know that he intends to defect to the enemy, why didn't you stop him?"

Zhong Shidao shook his head and said, "Do you think I don't want to stop you? But why should we? Originally, I asked you to invite him over today, and I wanted to check it out on the sidelines, or take strong measures to detain him, but you said He actually has such martial arts."

Shangguan Jiannan also felt that there was nothing he could do, and suddenly patted his head and said, "Master, that's not right! The King Yun is inseparable from him, so will King Yun join the enemy?"

Zhong Shidao said with a wry smile: "Shangguan, Shangguan, you are too young after all, can't you really see that King Yun is being coerced by him?"

Shangguan Jiannan thought about it carefully, and really felt that Zhao Kai's expression was different from other people's from time to time, he didn't pay much attention to this matter before, but now it seems that it is because of the sadness and helplessness revealed by being controlled and manipulated.

So he rubbed his hands and said, "Then what should we do? If they go to Xixia from Yanzhou, the court will not punish us Yanzhou civil and military?"

Zhong Shidao sighed and said: "Let's wait and see what happens. When Privy Tong's army arrives later, we will tell Privy Tong the truth, and let Privy Tong do what he wants. I feel that Privy Tong will rely on us to fight Hengshan all the way. Not to be punished on the spot."

As early as when Tong Guan was inspecting the border areas, he had discussed with Zhong Shidao about the plan to attack the Xia. Tong Guan planned to follow the historical strategy of "five routes to attack the Xia".

The so-called five-way attack on Xia, the northernmost road is the Yanzhou Zhongshi Road, this road is to capture Hengshan and cut off the left arm of Xixia;

The second and third routes are Zhekeshi, Zhekecun and other Zhejiajun, who set off from Huanzhou with Tong Guan's army, and approach Lingzhou and Xingqing Mansion, which is called attacking their heart and lungs;

The fourth route is to attack Qingtang from Weizhou by Zhongshidao's younger brother, Xiaozhong Jinglue, Gong Zhongshizhong, and break Xixia's right arm;

The fifth route is to detour along the Tubo tribes on the border of Tibet, go west first and then go north, go around to the west side of Helan Mountain to attack Ganzhou and Liangzhou, and cut off the back road of Xixia.It is said that the commander-in-chief of the fifth army was originally appointed as the vanguard officer Bai Sheng.

Such a five-way attack on Xia, if the way of mastering the teacher is taken down before the battle, wouldn't it be that one of the five ways is missing?

And if someone else was used to replace Zhong Shidao, not only would he not be able to command the Western Army in Yanzhou, but the replacement would not be familiar enough with Hengshan's situation, unless he did not want to win.

In the afternoon, there were not a single [-] troops left outside the Dongcheng Gate, and they all entered Hengshan.Sensing the seriousness of the situation, Zhong Shidao ordered Shangguan Jiannan to summon all the generals in Yanzhou to discuss the matter, to brainstorm and listen to the opinions of the possible imperial envoys defecting to the enemy.

Helplessly, the generals had no opinion on this kind of political matter. Everyone talked about it, and at night, they reached a consensus that at most they could only order the military villages in the south of Hengshan to do a good job of defense, in case Xixia suddenly Send troops to join forces with the rebels.

As a matter of fact, Zhong Shidao had passed on the order yesterday, ordering the major Song military villages in Hengshan not to open to outsiders, no matter what the reason for the visitor, as long as there is no token from the Jinglue Mansion, the doors will not be opened.

Even so, Zhong Shidao did not dare to let the generals go back to sleep, and asked everyone to sit tight and wait for news from Hengshan at any time, so as to make timely responses.

These 2 horses entered Hengshan, it is absolutely impossible to go for an outing, they will either start a fight with Xixia, or surrender to the enemy under the support of Xixia, there is no third possibility.

In the second half of the night, the sky was covered with dark clouds again, and the air was extremely oppressive. At this time, someone asked a question, what if these 2 people directly attacked Song's own military stronghold in the south?

"He can't beat him!" Zhong Shidao was full of confidence.

If the army stronghold of the Song Dynasty was so easy to fight, it would have been captured or burned down by Xixia long ago, so how could it be left to be attacked by the [-] mobs today?

It is because of this reason that Zhong Shidao thinks that Di Lie's 2 people can't take down any Xixia army stronghold. If there really is a Xixia army stronghold in Hengshan that can be taken down by 2 people, how can he be a kind of teacher? Save it for others to call?Are the Western Army in Yanzhou vegetarian?

As soon as Zhong Shidao's words fell, people heard a rumbling sound from the sky, as if there were thunderbolts exploding in the sky.
