Chapter 595 It turns out that Chai Shao is a top master!
The other side.
South of Cangwu, Yulin is the headquarters of the Song clan.
"Sister, brother-in-law, cousin... Have you heard that the city of Luoyang was destroyed? The troops of Li Mi, Li Jiancheng, Liang Shidu, and Yu Wenhuaji invaded the east capital together and captured Emperor Tai Yang. Dong, the Great Sui Dynasty is over!”
Song Yuzhi’s happy shouts rang out in the courtyard of Zhennan Palace. However, when her skirt flew into the front hall like a yellow butterfly, she found that the atmosphere in the hall was very solemn.
His sister Song Yuhua clenched her fists and her whole body was stiff. She stood not far from the door. Her originally dignified and beautiful face was filled with hatred.
A little further away stood Song Yuhua's husband, Xie Wenlong. Although he was born in Bashu, he was unusually tall, with a strong back and strong waist, and was very powerful.
Beside Jie Wenlong stood an older man with a tougher temperament, a square face, a high forehead, and a cold expression. He looked at the world with a look of disdain, and he was somewhat similar to Song Que. He was Xie Wenlong's father, Xie Hui. Bashu is the only master of the fort.
Speaking of the four great clans in the world, everyone knows the Song clan, the Li clan, the Yuwen clan, and the Dugu clan. In addition to these four clans, one row down, the most powerful among the tycoons from all over the world, It will belong to the Duzunbao Jie family in the Bashu region.
The Song family married Song Yuhua to Xie Wenlong out of political interests. The Sui army headed by Xiao Meiniang went south to attack Song Que. Naturally, the Xie family could not sit back and ignore it. Not only did Xie Hui and his son come, but they also brought Tens of thousands of elite soldiers were recruited to protect Yulin. Although... they don't think the Song family needs reinforcements from the Jie family, their posture must be in place.
The people standing on the other side of the hall were Li Xiuning, Hongfu Nu, and her cousins Song Faliang and Song Jie. Like Song Yuhua, their expressions were not good-looking.
"Hey, eldest sister, brother-in-law, cousin... why are you... looking like this?" Song Yuzhi couldn't understand. Luoyang city was destroyed and Xiao Meiniang's base camp was captured by the Jiangbei coalition forces. They should be happy, but why are they one by one? Is it like mourning a heir?
Xie Hui didn't say anything, and took a step forward to stop her at the door.
Song Yuhua said: "The matter can't be hidden anymore, let her come in."
Can't hide it anymore?
What can't you hide?
Song Yuzhi was confused by their reactions until he took a few steps forward and found a box placed on the desk in the hall. After a closer look, the object in the box seemed to be... hair?
Human head? !
She took two steps to the side with confusion. When she saw the profile of the bloody head clearly, she couldn't control her emotions and screamed: "Second uncle? Second uncle!"
Yes, the head in the wooden box is her second uncle, Earth Sword Song Zhi.
After Yinxu Song Lu and Song Shidao, Earth Sword Song Zhi also died.
No wonder the atmosphere in the hall was so solemn. Her eldest sister tensed up and restrained her emotions. It turned out...it turned out...Song Zhi was dead.
Song Yuzhi swayed and almost fell, but Li Xiuning quickly caught her with quick eyes and hands.
"How could this happen? Why did this happen? Who is it? Who did it?"
She shouted with red eyes and trembling all over.
Song Jie, who had two strands of hair hanging down from his temples and looked like a romantic young man, opened his eyes angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Who else could it be besides Chai Shao?"
"Chai Shao? You mean Chai Shao?" Song Yuzhi followed. Li Xiuning broke free from his arms and said sharply: "Isn't my second uncle in Cangwu? My father has cut off the Sui army's food route. How is it possible?!"
"How is it impossible? The facts are right in front of us. "Song Jie said: "Not only the second uncle, but also cousin Song Shuang... was also murdered by him."
"Impossible, I don't believe it...I don't believe it!" Song Yuzhi covered his ears and shouted. .
She really couldn't accept such a result. What level was her second uncle like? In the entire Song Dynasty, her military strength is only lower than that of Song Que, and in terms of strategy and shrewdness, she is still above her father. This time, she was stationed at Cangwu, the gate of Lingnan, and even brought Shang Xiuxun, who could threaten Chai Shao, with the right time and the right people. He was with the Song family, but why did Song Zhi die tragically in reality? The head on the item was chopped off and sent to Yulin?
"I didn't believe it at first, but..." Song Yuhua said in a deep voice: "The spies from the front came to report that the Sui army had indeed occupied Cangwu City, and the 15,000 troops brought by the second uncle had safely escaped to Yongye County. There are less than eight hundred, and most of them are hearing-impaired, making it difficult to fight again."
In fact, the news of Cangwu's fall reached Yu Lin yesterday, but first Song Que was not there, and secondly Chai Shao defeated the city alone. The incident was too shocking. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, she hid the matter after discussing with Song Jie and Xie Hui. Now Empress Xiao sent someone to send Song Zhi's head, and the vanguard of the Sui army had also set off to march south. She could continue to hide it. It will only be self-defeating.
"How was it defeated? Second uncle...how was it defeated?"
Song Jie was about to tell her the story of the battle that the frontline soldiers brought back, which sounded very exaggerated.
"Sister, cousin, look who is here."
At this time, Song Bang, who was wearing a silk scarf, came out with three people. When everyone turned to look, Song Yuzhi exclaimed: "Zi Ling, and... Miss Master, the Master of Fanzhai?"
Xu Ziling and Shi Feixuan nodded at her.
Fan Qinghui said nothing. After walking into the hall, he stood with one palm in front of his chest and saluted Xie Hui: "Master Jiebao." "Master Fanzhai."
"Master Fanzhai, Miss Master, you are here at the right time."
Just when Song Yuzhi was about to cry out to the two of them what happened to the Song family, Fan Qinghui waved her hands and said, "No need to say more, I know everything."
She knows everything?
Cangwu City was destroyed, and Song Zhi’s death was confidential news throughout the Song Dynasty. How did she know?
Xie Wenlong said: "Did Lord Fanzhai come here from Cangwu City?"
Fan Qinghui shook his head, he couldn't tell them that the three of them had already passed through before the incident happened. He Shibi foresaw that Cangwu City would be completely destroyed by Chai Shao.
"We are here in Lingnan this time to help King Xiang of Zhennan..."
When she mentioned Song Que, she looked sad and her expression was a little complicated.
"Great." Xie Hui said: "With the help of the Zhai Master, Chai Shao will never have the chance to use his big move."
"Chai Shao is no longer what he used to be, so we can't be careless. , I wonder where the King of Zhennan is now?”
“My brother-in-law...yesterday evening, my brother Jie Sheng had already made a detour to Longzhou to report to his family.”
Fan Qinghui twisted his rosary twice: "So, it will take some time for King Zhennan to return to Fangyu Forest?"
"Yes."
This is Xie Hui, Song Yuhua and others The reason why it felt tricky was that no one expected that Song Zhi lost Cangwu without holding on for a day. After the Sui army occupied the city, there were three roads to Yulin. One was to go south to Yongye from the official road, and then to the east. After arriving at Yulin, the second is to cross the Shibiaoshan mountain road, go straight to Ningren County, and go directly to the foot of Yulin City. The third is to go all the way east to Guiping, and then march southeast.
Especially the third road, the mountains are flat and there is no danger to defend, and large cavalry troops can also advance.
Xu Ziling said: "Fortunately, the owner of the restaurant was prepared."
Song Yuzhi looked puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Xu Ziling looked at her and said something.
Everyone in the hall looked shocked after hearing this. They did not expect that Fan Qinghui actually hired help.
......
Everything that happened in Luoyang City was just as the counselors of the various separatist forces expected. Li Mi, Yu Wenhuaji, Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, Li Yuan and others were already eyeing Luoyang and took advantage of it. Following Xiao Meiniang's southern expedition, when the base camp was empty of troops, she captured the Sui capital in one fell swoop and captured Emperor Tai Yang Tong.
This suddenly boosted the morale of Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei, Shen Faxing, Li Zitong and others, thinking that this was a sign that the Sui Dynasty had exhausted its power.
However, the forces in Jiangbei were only happy for two days before a piece of news spread throughout the world, giving them a wake-up call - Xiao Meiniang's expeditionary army captured the city without even using a single soldier. The hard bones that have been chewed can be called Cangwu City, the gateway to Yulin.
It would be fine if it was a normal siege, but no, the situation is very extreme.
It is said that Song Zhi threatened Chai Shao's wife and children, which completely angered this high-ranking official who single-handedly brought disgrace to the Li family in Chang'an City. This time, he single-handedly brought down Cang Zhi. More than 70% of the defenders in Wucheng were killed, and the remaining 30% either became idiots or became disabled.
The large army led by Chai Shen were all stunned after entering the city. If the eight thousand people in the vanguard had not unanimously agreed, no one would have believed that Chai Shilang had done this.
You must know that one person can defeat an army and one person can defeat a city. Under normal circumstances, the three great martial arts masters combined would have to have the convenience of the geographical location, but he did it.
The city of Luoyang has just been captured, and before the Sui Dynasty could carve up the territory, Li Mi, Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, Li Yuan, and others including Xiao Mian, Dou Jiande and others who had evil intentions all trembled in fear because of the The Battle of Wucheng proved that the city and the army were useless in front of Chai Shao's anti-human Lion's Roar Kung Fu. As long as he was given a big trumpet, he could defeat a force by himself without high-end combat power to disrupt the situation.
Master Liang jumped up and scolded Song Que for being a loser, saying that in the past ten battles under Cangwu City, he had won ten battles and killed Emperor Wen so much that he did not dare to enter Lingnan. As a result, in thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, Xiao Meiniang was introduced Nu Liu personally went to war, beheaded Song Zhi without spending a single soldier, and destroyed 15,000 Cangwu defenders. He was completely humiliated by all the swords and swords from heaven and earth. He wasted the great opportunity that the heroes of Hebei had created for him. situation.
Li Mi was even smarter than Master Liang. After entering Luoyang, he kidnapped Yang Tong and took him to his own camp. This move proved to be the right move. Just imagine that with Yang Tong in hand, Xiao Meiniang could make Chai Shao fight against him. Will the Wagang Army make a big move?
Yu Wenhuaji reacted and sent his men to find the Chai family and prepare to take them hostage. Only then did they realize that the Li family had already done that. Unfortunately, they got nothing. The entire Chai Mansion and Dugu Mansion were empty. Not to mention that Chai Shen’s wife could not be found, not even a single servant or guest was seen. What does this mean? I'm afraid the Chai family and his son had already anticipated the outcome of Luoyang.
The most interesting thing is that Liu Wuzhou, who originally sent troops to Jiyuan and Qinyang north of Luoyang, besieged the last Sui army around Luoyang in Heyang. In the battle to attack Luoyang, it was basically an operation of pressing the formation across the river until Chai Shilang When news came that one man had defeated Cangwu, Liu Wuzhou quietly gathered his troops, retreated two hundred miles to Changping County, and gave up Hanoi County.
Du Fuwei, Li Zitong, Shen Faxing and others who previously coveted Luoyang, but were beyond their reach, stopped jumping and sighed. They kept their eyes open and wanted to see how the expedition to Lingnan and Luoyang would end.
