Vol 2 Chapter 2819: Zhu Ming and Zhao Song's backstab, Hongyun Town Yuanzi

Chapter 2815: Zhu Ming and Zhao Song’s backstab, Hongyun Town Yuanzi dispatched

 Only a day and a half passed from the time Styx took action in public on the battlefield to the time he learned the clues about Jia Fu's whereabouts and went to Yin'an.

 During this period, the outside world basically learned the news.

 After learning about this, Cao Cao was extremely excited.

He just wanted to give Fan Li a try. He didn't have much confidence in whether it would succeed or not. After all, an old demon like Styx was not an ordinary person. You can imagine how difficult it would be to scheme against him.

But what Cao Cao never expected was that Fan Li's extremely accidental plan actually forced Ming He to take action in public, and he even managed to take Cao Wei out almost perfectly. It was simply God helping me.

Now that Minghe has taken action, Cao Cao naturally wants to add fuel to the flames. He immediately spreads the news to the Song and Ming Dynasties, hoping that Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Di will also work together to make sure that they will not give up until the Demon Sect is dragged into the water. attitude.

  ——————

 Song Kingdom, Yuzhou, Runan battlefield.

After Zhao Kuangyin received the letter from Fei Ge, he immediately summoned all the counselors to discuss the matter regardless of the darkness of the night. The purpose was naturally to make the matter a big deal and make it known to no one.

"Zhao Pu, Yan Xiang, you immediately mobilize all the power of the Imperial City Division and make sure this matter is known to everyone."

The purpose of Zhao Kuangyin in doing this is to add up to Ying Hao and make him unable to get off the tiger. If everyone knows that the Demon Sect has repeatedly provoked the Qin Dynasty, and this time Minghe knowingly took action openly, how will the world view Ying Hao if he still tolerates it? ?

Zhao Kuangyin only knew that Ming He had taken action, but he did not know the inside story. Otherwise, he would definitely not have done these useless efforts. After all, Cao Cao was not stupid and would not have told him that Ying Hao might actively cooperate, and he knew about this. The fewer people the better.

Although Zhao Kuangyin did not know the inside story, it did not prevent him from seizing the opportunity and immediately ordered: "Immediately send an order to Imperial Master Shen Gongbao to contact his friends in the Demon Sect to deal with the possible revenge of Great Qin."

Shen Gongbao has a very wide network of contacts in the Demon Sect. Now that Ming He has openly taken action, the people in the Demon Sect will definitely be afraid of Great Qin's revenge.

Hence, if Shen Gongbao steps forward at this time, he will definitely be able to unite some of the demon sect forces to his side.

 In fact, Zhao Kuangyin also knew in his heart that even if the Demon Sect really came to an end, the help to the Three Kingdoms Alliance would be limited, but now the Three Kingdoms Alliance could only borrow power from the Demon Sect.

If the Demon Sect does not come to an end, Cao Wei may not be able to hold on for a month. And once Cao Wei is defeated, the balance of the Central Plains War will completely tip to Da Qin.

So, in Zhao Kuangyin's view, the greatest significance of pulling the demon gate to its end is not to defeat the Qin army, but to extend Cao Wei's life.

 After all, only if Cao Wei persists longer can Zhao Kuangyin defeat Xue Rengui.

 Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but have a headache when he thought of Xue Rengui.

The land of Runan is as smooth as a horse, and Xue Rengui has the advantage of cavalry, so after he invaded Runan, he was as slippery as a loach and jumped out of the encirclement of the Song army many times.

Moreover, Xue Rengui's cavalry tactics of large corps also made Zhao Kuangyin miserable. Although the Song army had the advantage in strength, they had no way to deal with Xue Rengui.

“How can we defeat Xue Rengui?”

Looking in the direction of the Qin army’s camp, Zhao Kuangyin began another round of hard thinking.

  ——————

 Ming Dynasty, Xuzhou, Donghai County, Tan County, Ming King Zhu Dizheng personally sat here.

Since the Qin Army's Eighth Route Army came out to conquer the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains, although the main force has been the Fourth Route Army that attacked Wei, there has been a lot of movement from the other three armies. Only the Third Route Army that took the water route has not been able to do anything so far. It didn't make many waves.

 The eastern coastal area of ​​the Central Plains has thousands of kilometers of coastline, and it is impossible for the Three Kingdoms Alliance to set up ambushes on all of them.

The third waterway army led by Zhou Yu restrained a total of 80,000 sailors. Logically speaking, it is easy to find a weak place and land ashore. However, Zhou Yu wanted to fight against the East China Sea. It's not like I'm in a hurry to get ashore.

The fundamental reason why Zhou Yu did this was mainly because the situation of the Central Plains War was not yet completely clear. At this time, even if his 80,000 navy troops successfully landed, their role would be limited.

Therefore, instead of attacking the Central Plains, Zhou Yu might as well cruise on the sea, like a sword of Daskmo, hanging over the head of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, keeping them alert at all times, thereby containing more of the Three Kingdoms Alliance's forces.

It wasn’t that Zhou Yu didn’t want to go ashore, he was just waiting for the opportunity, and the day Cao Wei fell was the day he launched a general offensive and landed in the Central Plains.

With Fan Zeng assisting Zhu Di, it is not difficult to see Zhou Yu's intentions, but seeing it is one thing, and whether it can be solved is another. He can't just watch Zhou Yu wreak havoc on the eastern coast and remain indifferent, right?

 So, even if he knew Zhou Yu's intentions, Zhu Di could only use more troops to defend the eastern coastal areas and not give Zhou Yu a chance to land.

  In any case, apart from passive defense, Zhu Di had nothing to do against Zhou Yu.

As for the northern front of the Ming Dynasty, the two armies of Zhuge Liang and Su Dingfang were not active in attacking. Naturally, Xu Da and Xu Shiji could not do anything to them.

 Generally speaking, the pressure on the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces is great, among which Cao Wei is the greatest. After all, he has to deal with the attack of the four-pronged Qin Army.

 The Ming Dynasty had to face the three Qin armies, and the pressure it faced was second only to Cao Wei.

 The smallest one is the Song Dynasty. Only along Xue Rengui's side, the Song army still has a military advantage.

Therefore, both Cao Cao and Zhu Di placed their hopes on Zhao Kuangyin. They desperately insisted on delaying time, hoping that Zhao Kuangyin could defeat Xue Rengui. Only in this way could they turn defeat into victory.

 Zhu Di is the person who understands Cao Cao best. He knows very well how much pressure Cao Cao is under, otherwise he would not take the risk of sending Lan Yu to support him.

Zhu Di originally thought that after Lan Yu arrived in Dongjun, he could at least allow the Wei army to hold on for a few more months, but he did not expect that the situation in Dongjun would further deteriorate. Lan Yu and Le Yi teamed up to still be unable to resist Bai Qi. This also made Zhu Di extremely pessimistic about the situation in Yanzhou, so after receiving Cao Cao's letter, he naturally knew what it meant.

 Zhu Di immediately mobilized the whole country to build momentum to increase the Demon Sect's defense against Da Qin. At the same time, he used the influence of Niu Mowang's family to further close the distance with the Demon Sect.

"Uncle Niu, don't blame me. I don't want to do this, but I have no choice." Zhu Di sighed.

Niu Mowang had nothing to say to Zhu Di. If it hadn't been for Niu Mowang, Zhu Di would not have been able to defeat the Wei and Song coalition forces many times and defend the Ming Dynasty. But now he wants to use Niu Mowang to plot against his relatives and friends.

 So, this made Zhu Di feel ashamed about this, but even so, he would still do it because he had no other choice at all.

After all, if the Ming Dynasty is destroyed and the Central Plains is completely occupied by the Qin army, Zhu Di will only have two endings:

 One is death;

 The second is to flee to Yingzhou, struggle to the death, and then die.

 Zhu Di was still young and he didn't want to die yet, so he had no choice but to become one of the driving forces in this incident.

  ————

Da Qin had an agreement with the Demon Sect, but Ming He knew it and acted in public, which undoubtedly put the Demon Sect into trouble.

In this incident, the three kingdoms of Wei, Song, and Ming made the decision to add fuel to the flames at the same time, and they all wanted to sacrifice the Demon Sect to restore their blood.

After Ye Dingzhi replied to Minghe, he almost vomited blood without getting angry after learning about the reactions of the Wei, Song and Ming Kingdoms.

He begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother, and tried desperately to extinguish the fire, but the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming were adding fuel to the fire. He would not give up until the demon sect was deceived.

Ye Dingzhi knew this in his heart, but there was nothing he could do against the Wei, Song, and Ming Kingdoms. After all, if Ying Hao was determined to take revenge, the Wei, Song, and Ming Kingdoms would be the Demon Sect's only allies.

Ye Dingzhi originally didn't want to have anything to do with the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming. After all, the most important thing now is to appease Ying Hao and calm him down. However, the Three Kingdoms Alliance's move to add fuel to the fire, if he continues to let it go, even if he can Jia Fu went to intercede, but it would probably be of no use.

Therefore, Ye Dingzhi could only send a message to all parties, telling them that the situation was not irreversible yet, and asking them not to listen to the nonsense of the Three Kingdoms and do things that intensify conflicts.

 Not even two days after the summons was sent out, Ye Dingzhi was severely slapped in the face.

First of all, Ying Hao gave a clear reply and did not accept Ye Dingzhi's apology. In response to the Demon Sect's repeated provocations and Ming He's violation of the agreement, knowingly committing the crime and taking action admittedly, Da Qin will definitely take action.

In fact, Ye Dingzhi had already guessed the result in his heart. At the expense of the benefits of withdrawing from the two states, it was not enough to impress Ying Hao. But after he really learned the result, he couldn't help but feel disappointed. This also meant that the Demon Sect's The last hope is that Grandpa Styx can accept Jia as his disciple.

As for Da Qin's refusal to accept the Momen's apology, it was naturally impossible for Ye Dingzhi to make it public, because it would have no effect at all and would intensify conflicts.

But Ye Dingzhi also knew in his heart that he would not be able to hide it for too long, but now he had no choice but to pray in his heart that Jia Fu was really in Yin'an, and that his grandfather could successfully recruit a disciple.

 This is not just a matter for his family, but for the lives of millions of people in the Central Plains.

But exactly on the first day after Ying Hao refused, Ye Dingzhi received a piece of news that frightened him.

Kui Gang was in the Song Dynasty and Kunpeng was in the Ming Dynasty. After receiving the message, the two people immediately prepared to rush to Mount Tai, intending to advance and retreat together with the Minghe River. However, they met people from the Qin Dynasty just after they came down the mountain.

Kui Gang met Hongyun and the generals, while Kunpeng met Zhen Yuanzi and Ying Gou.

Ying Hao knew that Hong Yun had a grudge against Kunpeng, so he didn’t dare to let Hong Yun block Kunpeng.

After all, his goal is only the Styx, and if the two people get into a real fight after meeting and further intensify the conflict, the gain will outweigh the loss.

 That’s why Ying Hao asked Hongyun to block Kuigang instead of Kunpeng.

The reason why Styx, Kunpeng, and Kuigang separated was because of the agreement between the Demon Sect and Great Qin. However, they never expected that Styx, who had always been cautious, would openly take action this time and tear up the agreement with Great Qin. .

Everyone knows that Styx cannot break the contract without reason. There must be a reason for him to do so, but even if he has difficulties, he cannot do it. Isn't this a scam?

Even though Kunpeng and Kui Gang scolded Styx a thousand times in their hearts, they still decided to make progress and retreat together with Styx. After all, the three of them could only protect themselves together, and their deterrence would be greatly reduced after they were separated.

What neither of them expected was that Great Qin each sent two Quasi-Banxuan to hold them back. This also made Kunpeng and Kui Gang's hearts drop to the bottom. After all, Great Qin was really serious this time.

Kunpeng Taoist looked at Zhen Yuanzi and Ying Gou opposite him, and finally his eyes fell on Zhen Yuanzi, and said coldly: "Zhen Yuanzi, I never thought that a self-proclaimed person like you would one day become a lackey of a big force. ”

"you…"

Ying Gou was instantly angry when he heard this. He was about to take action and teach Kun Peng a lesson, but was stopped by Zhen Yuanzi.

“Kunpeng, you should be glad that it’s me and not Hongyun who came this time, otherwise it would not be so easy to let you go.” Zhen Yuanzi said lightly.

 Hearing Zhen Yuanzi mention Hongyun's name, Kunpeng Taoist's heart suddenly jumped.

Although he is strong, he also has many enemies, and the Yin Yang Family and Hong Yun are his two biggest enemies.
