Chapter 272: The future of the Central Plains, plotting against each other
The waves on the river were rolling, and huge merchant ships were passing through the water.
The sail is hung high, facing the bright sunlight, like a huge white silk.
Under the cover of hills and woods, waves and colorful yarns blend together, just like a refreshing landscape painting blending into the river.
From time to time, the shouts of fishermen’s boats at night can be heard from the river, echoing in the center of the river, adding a little life and soul to this quiet but full of life scenery.
On the deck of the merchant ship, Dongfang Ya listened to the fishermen's shouts and sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"The Central Plains has changed so much."
In the past, no matter how beautiful the scenery was, no one had time to pay attention to it or check it out.
And now... everything is beautiful with the joyful sounds of fishermen.
Loud shouts are the source and foundation of all good things.
At this time, the merchant ships had entered the territory of Bozhou, which had completely escaped the control of the Yuan Dynasty due to the uprising.
In the past, when fishermen went fishing, there were bandits, soldiers, and room restrictions.
And now...it's all gone.
Although people's lives have not been significantly improved, there is hope for life.
"The Central Plains... really should calm down quickly." Dongfang Zhu looked at the busy fishermen thoughtfully.
Many things won't resonate at all if you don't experience them yourself.
Now... Dongfang Bamboo has a deep understanding.
They were familiar with the Central Plains, and they had walked this river countless times, but they had never felt like this before.
"Sir, miss, is there a big battle in Bozhou?" Dongfang You looked at Song Qingshu and Yang Xue and asked.
She knew very well that if the people of the Central Plains were to be stable, an insurrectionary army was the key.
"It's difficult..." Yang Xue could understand the feelings of the four girls Youlan Zhuya, and she felt the same this time.
But it is too difficult to calm down the Central Plains.
Overthrowing Yuanshi will not happen overnight, it will take time.
After the defeat of Yuanshi, it will take time for the Central Plains to calm down.
The war in Bozhou did have a great impact, but it only had a great impact, nothing more.
At this time, two homing pigeons appeared on the river covered by the bright afterglow of the setting sun.
The homing pigeon soon landed on the merchant ship.
"Someone has written." Song Qingshu's somewhat complicated voice sounded.
Yang Xue, the fourth daughter of Youlan Zhuya, was shocked.
They felt that the message came a bit too quickly, as they had just arrived in Emei not long ago.
This is too fast.
Before, they thought that Song Qingshu would go straight to the ancient tomb after leaving the Emei Sect, but they did not expect that Song Qingshu did not go back in a hurry, but passed by Bozhou by water.
"Sir, do you guess who it is?" Dongfang Ya's curious voice sounded.
"Qi Mu? Wudang? Or the Mongolian side?"
Song Qingshu said: "None of them, over there in Bozhou."
"It's not as good as you think over there."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked, Bozhou?
Now that the news of the Wulin has spread, the Wulin is divided and the Emei Sect has won a great victory. What can happen if Bozhou sends a message.
And he went directly to Song Qingshu.
"Sir, letters." A member of the Sky Eagle Cult directly handed the two letters to Song Qingshu and left quickly.
Song Qingshu directly opened the first letter and checked it, with a true expression on his face, then opened the second letter and shook his head slightly.
"It's really making trouble."
"Just take a look."
The letter was handed directly to Yang Xue and the four girls Youlan Zhuya.
After checking it out, the girls looked surprised. Chen Youliang actually gave up the opportunity to suppress the enemy with his army and gave this opportunity to Zhu Yuanzhang.
This battle between Zhongyuan and Yuanshi is a good opportunity.
Because of the Emei faction's affairs, Zhongyuan's morale has greatly increased. This is a great opportunity to make contributions.
How could Chen Youliang give up?
"Read the second letter." Seeing the expressions of the girls, Song Qingshu said with a smile.
Everyone opened the second letter with doubts.
The second letter was from Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang also gave up the opportunity to press the border with the army and wanted to give it to Chen Youliang.
"this……"
"This isn't right."
"Whatever they want."
All the girls are smart people, and they felt something was wrong at the first moment.
Whether it is Zhu Yuanzhang or Chen Youliang, both of them are absolute heroes. If such a good opportunity is suddenly given up, there must be something wrong.
"They want to break the balance." Song Qingshu took the letter, and there was a burst of heat in his hand, and the letter burned directly into ashes.
"The battle in Bozhou was huge. Although the Emei faction's Yuanshi was defeated, Jing Bufan also gave the Yuanshi the confidence."
"If the martial arts does not take action for a month, this is the fundamental reason why Yuanshi's morale will not collapse."
"King Ruyang is the Yuanshi Dinghai Shenzhen and the God of War. Even if he knows that the Yuanshi has been completely defeated by the Emei Sect, he will still use this month to make a fuss."
"The battle in Bozhou is not as easy as you think."
"It is indeed good for the Central Plains Rebels if we win the Emei faction, but it also has disadvantages."
"Fundamentally speaking, Zhongyuan Wulin is not afraid of Yuanshi Wulin. Zhongyuan just doesn't put some things on the table."
"The weakness of Zhongyuan is just an illusion. It is just the pressure we hope to put on Zhongyuan Wulin."
"We understand, but others don't understand. Not even the major martial arts sects in the Central Plains understand it, and the ordinary people in the martial arts world don't understand it even more."
"So... the victory of the Emei faction will put a lot of pressure on the rebel army."
"Now the Central Plains rebels are holding back their anger. Wulin has won, and they cannot lose."
Hearing this, the girls still had some doubts and confusion in their eyes. They seemed to understand, but they didn't seem to understand.
"Isn't this good?" Dongfang Lan's doubtful voice sounded.
"Hold your breath, and your combat power will definitely increase during the battle."
Yang Xue didn't wait for Song Qingshu to explain, and a low voice sounded: "It's a good thing, but it's also a bad thing."
"If...if the rebel army only wants to win now, then there is a problem!"
"Victory regardless of death, the Central Plains does not need and cannot want it now."
"It's okay even if Yuanshi loses. They can try again. Yuanshi has this background, but Zhongyuan doesn't."
"The Central Plains cannot experience another war in a short period of time."
"The sources of soldiers, military supplies, medicinal materials, food and grass, etc. are all problems."
"If Zhongyuan wins miserably this time, it will be a loss!"
Song Qingshu nodded: "Yes, a partial victory means a loss."
"Zhu Yuanzhang understands, and so does Chen Youliang."
"Both of them know very well that since the Emei Sect's Zhongyuan Wulin defeated the Yuanshi Wulin, they cannot defend and look for opportunities like before in this battle."
"They need to take the initiative. This is what the military wants and they can't change it."
"And this war must be fast. If it is slow, there will be voices of dissatisfaction in the army, and the morale of the military will be shaken."
"But both of them know that they can't fight like this. The Central Plains does not have as deep a foundation as the Yuanshi. A partial victory means a defeat. After a partial victory, the road behind the Central Plains uprising army will be even more difficult."
"Destruction is very possible."
"So both of them want to preserve their strength and let the other party come forward."
"This battle will definitely be tragic. The Central Plains must have a backup plan. Even if they change their strategy in the end, they must give an explanation to the army. It is best to provide an example."
"And this example is a major war."
"Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang are all planning this."
Everyone was shocked, and their faces were stunned.
"It's so troublesome, so cruel."
Although they knew that Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang were after the Central Plains, their purpose of destroying each other was also obvious.
"Master, are they not afraid that you will be dissatisfied?" Dongfang Zhu looked at Song Qingshu curiously.
Does she know how afraid Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang are of Song Qingshu.
"Isn't this calculation too obvious?"
Song Qingshu burst into laughter: "Xiaozhu, this is considered a conspiracy, not a conspiracy."
"what can I say."
"Looking at the overall situation, the choice made by the two of them was the wisest."
"Moreover, the two of them did not hide their selfish intentions."
"Everyone is fighting for a future with their lives, and it's normal to have some ideas."
Although the girls understood what Song Qingshu meant, they still felt a little uncomfortable.
Youlan Zhuya spoke one after another.
"They clearly know that the current situation is not good, so why can't they work together to defend against the enemy and still plot against it?"
"Aren't they afraid that something will really go wrong after the Bozhou War?"
"Lao Qi is now fully prepared to enter the chaotic war in the Central Plains. With Lao Qi here, their existence is no longer that important."
Song Qingshu looked at the dissatisfied expressions on the four women's faces and laughed: "What do you think Lao Qi will do if he is in Bozhou?"
"Will Lao Qi plot against these two guys?"
Hearing this, the images of Lao Qi and the other twelve people instantly appeared in the four girls' minds, as well as some past events.
There was a strange look on the faces of the girls.
"meeting."
"That guy Lao Qi might be more ruthless than Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang."
Song Qingshu spread his hands and said, "So, this is what those people think, everyone is the same."
"Lao Qi really doesn't care about glory, wealth or his future."
"But when it comes to war, even if you have a good plan and a good layout, maybe someone will execute it and direct it."
"Zhu Yuanzhang recommended Chen Youliang, and Chen Youliang recommended Zhu Yuanzhang. It's all the same."
"It's true that they want the other party to fall, but they also recognize the other party's strength. If it were someone else who died, they wouldn't let it go."
"Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang will indeed panic when they know that Lao Qi is involved in the Central Plains, but they are just panic."
"These two guys are not stupid, either Zhu Yuanzhang or Chen Youliang. They have a good relationship with Lao Qi. Lao Qi can indeed replace them, but they have value. As long as they don't seek death, they can still live."
Yang Xue seemed to understand the reason, and said with a smile: "So...this is the reason why you did not return to the ancient tomb immediately."
"Are you going to Bozhou on purpose?"
"The purpose is to make Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang afraid of you?"
Song Qingshu nodded: "Yes."
"In my heart, I don't want to receive a letter from the two of them, but I know it will be difficult."
"Bozhou is in chaos. Now the rebel armies are all mixed together. We are fighting against the Yuan Dynasty for the sake of our future."
"Everyone wants to kill each other and then take charge of the overall situation. The Bozhou war is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"But they were afraid that I would be dissatisfied and would kill me directly."
"If my guess is correct, after this time there will only be three, or four, or maybe less, leaders of the uprising army in the Central Plains."
"Others are definitely going to be attached to other people."
"It's a shakeout."
Yang Xue's eyes focused: "So, are you ready to take over the Bozhou War?"
"No." Song Qingshu showed a confident smile.
"I do not care."
"I just need to pass by Bozhou. If they know I'm coming, they will naturally know what to do."
The girls looked at Song Qingshu blankly for a while.
Don't care about anything?
Just passing by?
"Sir, what do you mean?"
"Qingshu..."
Song Qingshu laughed when he saw the expressions of the girls: "It's not interesting."
"I passed by here just with a superficial attitude. I am in charge of the Emei faction. The other side won. I gave the Central Plains uprising army unprecedented morale."
"If something goes wrong in the Bozhou War like this, I will kill someone."
"When I kill, I never care about the other person's ability, background, or influence."
"As long as I think the other person deserves to die."
"Do you think they are afraid of me?"
Hearing this, the girls were shocked, and now everyone understood what Song Qingshu meant.
No matter what the rebel army was thinking or doing, Song Qingshu had only one purpose, and that was to win.
Not the so-called tragic victory, but a real victory.
If something goes wrong, someone is going to die, maybe one, maybe two, maybe all of them.
Song Qingshu's temperament was known throughout the Central Plains. In the past, when Song Qingshu was not strong, he could directly destroy the elites of Hongmei Huashan under great pressure.
Song Qingshu now really has no scruples.
To put it bluntly, Song Qingshu's approach was coercion.
Everyone must put aside their petty thoughts, or they will die!
"Will everyone understand what you mean?" Yang Xue asked after a long silence.
After all, Song Qingshu didn't send any message this time, he just came here.
If others don't understand, then Bozhou still can't change.
Song Qingshu smiled casually: "I don't know about the others, but Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang definitely understand."
"They sent me the letter, not because they wanted me to make a decision, but because they wanted to see my attitude."
"In other words, those two guys already have a plan."
"Wait, then."
"Although I am a bit domineering, I am also reasonable most of the time."
"Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang, since they sent me messages so frankly, I will give them a chance."
Yang Xue looked at Song Qingshu in disbelief: "You... want Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang to clean up the people!"
"As long as you don't reply and we don't change our route, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang will definitely know what you are thinking."
"Even if...these two have a huge grudge, they will put it aside now. The two of them must cooperate, otherwise they will die."
"If you kill me, no one in the world will protect you."
"Once the two of them cooperate, it will basically represent the unity of the Central Plains uprising armies. If others are still thinking and calculating at this time, the two of them can directly clean up and further consolidate their positions."
"They don't have to worry about someone getting into trouble later because you'll fight through anything."
"Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang know who you are."
"Yes." Song Qingshu responded calmly.
"Cleaning up is a must and I need to give them a reason and give them a chance."
Yang Xue and Youlan Zhuya's expressions changed slightly, as if they had thought of something.
Looking at Song Qingshu, he hesitated to speak.
Song Qingshu saw the thoughts of several people and said with a smile: "You want to say that I have been plotted, right?"
"Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Youliang guessed that I would do this? So you sent the message to me, right?"
"They know that I am concerned with the situation in the Central Plains, and they also know that even if I cannot see through the aftermath of the Bozhou War, Lao Qi will definitely be able to see through it."
"After all, that guy Lao Qi has a really good view of the overall situation."
The four girls Yang Xue and Youlan Zhuya were stunned for a while. In their understanding, Song Qingshu was not such a talkative or good-tempered person.
"you know?"
"Then you still..."
Song Qingshu shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Let's just calculate it. What can we do?"
"If you want the horse to run, how can you not give it grass to eat?"
"I'll just take a trip anyway, I won't lose anything."
"It is a good thing to clear out some people with ulterior motives. It is also a good thing to have fewer commanders in the Central Plains. I have no reason to refuse."
"As for Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang, they don't have the guts to kill people randomly."
"The ones who died were also people with ulterior motives. It's better to be dead."
Hearing this, everyone roughly understood Song Qingshu's thoughts. Song Qingshu also believed that if the Central Plains wanted to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty, the Central Plains uprising army must be cleaned up and not too chaotic.
It's just that Song Qingshu couldn't do anything about it.
If Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang are willing to do it, then do it, killing two birds with one stone.
"There are many of them who are familiar with Wudang, or are people from Wudang." Yang Xue's worried voice sounded.
"If he dies...it might not be good."
Song Qingshu was silent for a few seconds: "Wang He will send a message. If someone really wants to die, Wang He will kill him."
"On the Wudang side, only Wang He can take action. Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang don't have the courage."
"This matter is not a trivial matter and must be resolved."
"I won't have time to care about the Central Plains army in the future."
Yang Xue and others nodded and let out a long sigh. They really had no time to take care of the Central Plains army in the future.
The martial arts world is divided, and Song Qingshu wants to find Zhang Zhenren.
Or the subsequent battle in the imperial city with Jing Bufan and others.
They really don't have time.
Night falls.
Yang Xue said: "I sent a message to the ancient tomb to inquire about the situation of the seniors."
"We're going to practice." Youlan Zhuya confessed and went directly inside.
Song Qingshu sat alone on the bow of the boat, looking at the horizon until late at night.
Today, he sent messages to eleven places by flying pigeons, but now there is no reply.
"Master, you are so thorough."
Song Qingshu shook his head, picked up the wine on the side and took a few sips.
At this moment, he clearly realized how influential Grand Master was.
A voice of incomparable exclamation sounded.
"A master of a generation, a legend of a lifetime."
"Master...you are forcing me to be cruel to Wulin." (End of Chapter)
