Chapter 147: Zhai Jiao changes, Fu Gongyou rebels and claims the throne, Lin Shihong is worried, and Zuo Youxian, the Ziwu Sword! Besiege Danyang

Danyang City.

City Lord's Mansion.

A middle-aged man in silver armor, with a tall stature and a long, gloomy face, sat on the upper seat, and below him were more than a dozen generals.

"Master Fu, now that the general has surrendered to the Tianqin Army, we can't just wait here to be recruited, right?"

A thin general stepped forward, clasped his fists respectfully and spoke in a deep voice.

"If we don't wait to be recruited, what else can we do?"

Fu Gongyou's eyes flickered when he heard this. Although he had already made a plan in mind, he sighed helplessly.

"Master Fu, General Manager Du surrendered to the Tianqin Army, which certainly saved his personal wealth and glory, but what about us? Master Fu, General Manager Du has surrendered. Now, you have the final say in the Jianghuai Army. You can lead us to establish ourselves as kings and create a road to wealth and glory!"

At this time, another burly, bearded general stepped forward and clasped his fists respectfully.

"Please lead us to continue defending Jianghuai!"

"Please, for the sake of the people of Jianghuai, declare yourself king!"

"."

With the two generals taking the lead, the rest of the generals walked to the center of the hall, respectfully clasped their fists towards Fu Gongyou, and invited Fu Gongyou to take the throne and be crowned king!

"Since the generals are determined, I, Fu Gongyou, will not refuse!"

"I, Fu Gongyou, promise you that I will lead you to take charge of Jianghuai, expand our strength, and strive to unify Jiangnan!"

Fu Gongyou glanced at the dozen or so generals in the hall and spoke in a deep voice.

He knew it.

Du Fuwei's surrender certainly brought him personal glory and wealth.

However, once he and the generals under him are recruited, they may not be so valued. He has power and soldiers under his command. It would be great to be the King of Jianghuai. Why should he be ordered around by others?

"We are here to see the King!"

"See you, Your Majesty!"

"."

Fu Gongyou agreed to become king, and many generals in the palace knelt in front of Fu Gongyou.

Piling City.

The Prince of Liang's Mansion, which was rebuilt from the City Lord's Mansion, is quite imposing.

Liangwang Palace.

A middle-aged man of medium build, with a short beard and wearing golden armor, sat on the main seat. On the left and right of the hall, there were more than twenty generals.

"Your Majesty, this is not good!"

At this time, a soldier came in hurriedly and knelt down to report. "Just now, news came from the front that the young master was captured in Jiangdu and was killed by the Tianqin Army because he refused to surrender! Du Fuwei has surrendered to the Tianqin Army!"

"What?"

"Lun'er was killed? How is this possible?"

After hearing the spy's report, Shen Faxing suddenly stood up, his face changed drastically, revealing disbelief. A terrifying aura spread from his body and enveloped the Liangwang Palace.

Shen Faxing knew it clearly.

Lun'er is quite knowledgeable in strategy, and he brought dozens of warships and naval forces, as well as more than 10,000 elite soldiers. My eldest brother Shen Fazheng brought 6,000 elite soldiers to reinforce. Together with Du Fuwei's army, the advantage is on my side. How could I be captured and killed?

"The Dudu Shen coalition's large ship was pierced by Qin Shuang, and most of the warships capsized. The losses were heavy, and most of the soldiers surrendered!"

Under the suppression of Shen Faxing's powerful aura, the spy trembled all over and could not speak clearly.

"Flying Knife Qin Shuang returned from taking Yang Gong's treasure house, and without stopping, he went straight to Jiangdu to defeat the Du Shen coalition? This..."

"Du Fuwei surrendered to Qin Shuang of the Tian Qin Army. Wouldn't that mean that the Tian Qin Army's power and territory would increase dramatically?"

"."

In the hall, the civil and military officials standing on the left and right were all horrified and talking about the matter.

"Where are General Shen's elite reinforcements?"

Shen Faxing suppressed his grief and asked in a deep voice.

He remembered that his elder brother Shen Fazheng had brought 6,000 elite troops to reinforce.

"Great Lord! On his way to reinforce, General Shen encountered the divine sword Qin Shuang and was killed by the flying sword. Xie Yujing, Tu Li and other four generals led their troops to surrender! Then they pretended to be reinforcements and rushed to kill them unexpectedly. The young master led his army to escape, but was eventually captured by Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and was beheaded in Jiangdu!"

The blue-clothed spy didn't even dare to look up at Shen Faxing and reported with his head down.

The body kept shaking.

"Qin Shuang! This king and you cannot coexist!"

"puff!"

Hearing the spy's words, Shen Faxing was extremely angry. He slapped the royal case in front of him, and the case suddenly broke into pieces. His face turned red, his internal energy rushed out, he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood mist, and fell backwards.

Shen Lun was his most outstanding son and his right-hand man, but now he was killed by Qin Shuang.

How could he accept this?
Great Chu, Yuzhang City.

"what?"

"The Tian Qin Army has defeated the Du Shen coalition? Du Fuwei has surrendered to Qin Shuang"

Lin Shihong, who was wearing the real dragon emperor robe, looked at the spy kneeling in the Golden Throne Hall, stood up suddenly, with disbelief in his eyes.

"Your Majesty! The news just received from Yangzhou is absolutely true!"

"At present, the Tianqin Army has gone to the Jianghuai area to take over Du Fuwei's thirty-one cities!"

The blue-clothed spy reported respectfully.

"The left military advisor of the Tianqin Army, Zhuge Cheng, and the right military advisor, Xu Xingzhi, are both my think tanks."

"Qin Shuang's martial arts are so terrifying. Now, his territory has increased dramatically to 37 cities, and his troops are 210,000, which has exceeded our Great Chu, not counting the support of Lingnan."

Cui Jixiu stood in the first seat on the right, looking at the spies in the hall with deep worry in his eyes.

Qin Shuang of the Tian Qin Army defeated the Du Shen coalition and swallowed up Du Fuwei's territory and troops. It has leaped from a small force with only three cities and tens of thousands of troops to one of the few major forces south of the Yangtze River.

In other words.

The current Tianqin Army is stronger than Da Chu.

With the support of Song Que from Lingnan, their power has become even stronger!
and.

Recently, Tian Qin Army's right military advisor Xu Xingzhi, with his brave generals Li Jing, Zuo Xiaoyou and Liu Yong, has been attacking the border cities of Da Chu continuously. Da Chu is in danger!
"Military Advisor Cui, do you have any solution to the current situation?"

Lin Shihong looked at Cui Jixiu, who was in a heavy mood, and asked.

"Your Majesty, the current situation is not favorable to our Great Chu. However, if it weren't for our Great Chu, Xiao Xin would have to face the attack of the Tian Qin Army. I am willing to go and persuade Xiao Xin to fight against the Tian Qin Army together!"

Cui Jixiu thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

He knew it.

The Tian Qin Army is growing in strength day by day, and Da Chu is currently unable to contend with it. The only way to ensure safety is to unite with Xiao Xin to fight against the Tian Qin Army.

"Okay, I'll have to trouble the military advisor to go to Baling!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shihong nodded.

Jiujiang City.

Outside the three major docks, there is a large ship anchored by the river. On top of the ship, in addition to three sails, there is also a large flag with the word "Song" on it.

It was the flag of the Song family in Lingnan.

On the deck of the ship, a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a gray robe, with long hair and gray hair on his temples, but not a single sign of aging, looked at Jiujiang City in front of him with a look of satisfaction in his eyes, and murmured, "Subjugating Du Fuwei and taking over the Jianghuai area, I really didn't misjudge him!"

"Brother, Marshal Qin is really amazing!"

"Just after taking back Yang Gong's treasure house from under Li Yuan's nose, he directly defeated the Du-Shen coalition forces and subdued Du Fuwei. His troops and territory increased greatly. I'm afraid that his next step will be to destroy Shen Faxing and Li Zitong!"

Song Lu, with silver hair and beard, stood behind Song Que and sighed.

"Well, since we have decided to support him, we in Lingnan need to unite with Xiao Xin in the rear to contain Lin Shihong. At the same time, we also need to be wary of Zhu Can."

Song Que spoke in a deep voice.

Ever since he decided to fight Ning Daoqi on the day of the Chosen Ceremony, he no longer stayed in the Grinding Knife Hall. Instead, he asked Song Lu to accompany him, traveling around the world, experiencing the world again, waiting for the Chosen Ceremony.

"Yes, brother!"

Song Lu agreed.

Yangzhou.

In the north city, in a quiet courtyard.

The sturdy Zhai Jiao put away the letter in her hand, looked at Tu Shufang in front of her, and murmured with a look of shock in her eyes. "Uncle Tu, you are indeed Marshal Qin. As soon as he came back, he broke the danger of the Du Shen coalition, and also subdued Du Fuwei, the governor of Jianghuai, which greatly increased his territory and troops!" At this moment.

Zhai Jiao's heart was full of hope.

The stronger the Tianqin Army becomes, the higher her hope of revenge becomes!

This shows that her original choice was not wrong!
"Yes, the Tianqin Army is now one of the most powerful forces in Jiangnan. If they can help us get back the 80,000 sheepskins and kill Hu Yanjin in the future, we will have a better chance!"

Tu Shufang nodded, and when he thought of the big dragon head, his eyes dimmed and he hated Li Mi even more.

If it weren't for the traitor Li Mi, how could they have ended up in such a situation?
"Uncle Tu, I want to go to the vicinity of Wagang first, contact my father's old subordinates, and persuade them to leave Li Mi!"

Zhai Jiao pondered for a long time and suddenly spoke.

"Ah? Miss."

When Tu Shufang heard this, he was shocked.

He remembered that the eldest lady and Marshal Qin had agreed that Marshal Qin would help recover 80,000 sheepskins and kill Huyan Jin before the eldest lady would help contact the former members of Wagang. But now, the eldest lady was going to contact the former members of Wagang first.

"Uncle Tu, what kind of person do you think Marshal Qin is?"

Zhai Jiao looked at Tu Shufang and asked.

"From the fact that he annihilated the four great bandits in a huge army, and my recent observations of him, I can tell that Marshal Qin is a man of justice and his word is his bond."

Upon hearing this, Tu Shufang nodded and said.

"Ah."

Zhai Jiao nodded. "Marshal Qin is the only hope to avenge his father and retrieve the 80,000 sheepskins! In that case, why not help him make contact first, so that the power of the Tianqin Army can grow faster? It is better to give timely help than to add icing on the cake!"

Zhai Jiao knew it clearly.

The more help I can give to Marshal Qin, the more devotedly he will help me in the future.

"Miss, you are wise!"

When Tu Shufang heard this, he was shocked.

He had been prepared to give some advice to the eldest lady, but he did not expect that the eldest lady herself would decide to help Marshal Qin first.

It seems that the eldest lady Zhai Jiao has finally grown up after the changes she has experienced during this period of time.

Gaoyou City.

Inside the city lord's palace.

Qin Shuang sat upright on a high seat, and below him on the left were military advisors Zhuge Cheng, Du Fuwei, Kou Zhong, and Xu Ziling.

On the right were Chang Lingchun, Bu Tianzhi, Yun Yuzhen, Xie Yujing, Tu Li, Xu Lingyan, Liu Ziyi and nearly twenty other generals.

"General Du, Fu Gongyou betrayed you, raised his own army, occupied Danyang and other fourteen cities, called himself the King of Song, and is preparing to ascend the throne and become emperor. Do you have a way to crack this down?"

Qin Shuang looked at Du Fuwei, who was standing on the left with an ugly expression, and asked.

"Reporting to the Marshal, Fu Gongyou has long had ulterior motives. I am willing to lead the troops to attack this thief! Recapture Danyang and other fourteen cities!"

Du Fuwei stepped forward, clasped his fists respectfully and said.

now.

He was very depressed because Fu Gongyou was disobedient and established his own army, which made him lose face.

At this moment, he wished he could lead his troops to attack Fu Gongyou immediately and capture this thief!

"Well, Fu Gongyou is so ignorant of the current situation, so we have no choice but to kill him!"

Qin Shuang heard this and nodded.

"Report! Marshal, intelligence!"

Just then, Wei Fei walked in quickly and respectfully handed over a wax scroll of intelligence.

"The information sent by Xianxian?"

Qin Shuang looked at the pattern of the wax scroll and immediately understood.

This is the information obtained by the spies of the Yinkui Sect.

Qin Shuang crushed the wax scroll and took out the letter inside.

"Zuo Youxian? Appeared in Danyang City, secretly helping Fu Gongyou?"

After reading the information, Qin Shuang's eyes suddenly showed a thoughtful look.

As far as he knows.

Zuo Youxian is the successor of the "Daozu Zhenchuan" branch of the "Zhenchuan School", one of the two sects and six paths of the Demon Sect. His martial arts "Ziwu Gang" and "Renbing Sword Technique" are extremely powerful and his skills are extremely profound.

Fu Gongyou is a disciple of the Tianlian Sect and Anlong's junior brother. He rebelled against the Tianlian Sect fifteen years ago.

Since both of them belong to the Demon Sect, it is not surprising that they collude with each other.

Look.

This Ziwu Sword Zuo Youxian kept talking to Zhu Yuyan, so Zhu Yuyan was ready to get rid of him.

"Well, after capturing Fu Gongyou, I will kill Zuo Youxian as well."

Qin Shuang secretly made up his mind.

After all, since he had received 100,000 taels of gold and the marriage alliance with Kankan, he had to make some money. He did not have the Li family's heritage, so he could only rely on his own abilities to earn gold.

"Du Fuwei! I order you to lead 10,000 soldiers and station them ten miles away at the east gate of Danyang!"

Qin Shuang thought of this and spoke in a deep voice.

"As ordered!"

Du Fuwei bowed and agreed, then stepped back and waited.

"Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling! I order you to lead 10,000 soldiers and station them ten miles west of Danyang."

Qin Shuang spoke again.

"Subordinates take orders!"

"Leader!"

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling also stepped forward.

"Chang Lingchun! Xie Yujing! Tu Li!"

Qin Shuang spoke again.

"My subordinate is here!"

"My subordinate is here!"

Chang Lingchun, Xie Yujing, and Tu Li all stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Qin Shuang.

"I order you to lead 2,000 Qin elite soldiers and 8,000 infantry to surround the north gate of Danyang!"

Qin Shuang spoke in a deep voice.

"Subordinates take orders!"

"Leader!"

Generals Chang Lingchun, Xie Yujing and Tu Li all agreed.

"How dare you, a mere Fu Gongyou, refuse to submit!"

Qin Shuang looked at Du Fuwei, Chang Lingchun, Kou Zhong and many other generals who went to lead the troops, his eyes narrowed. He blocked three city gates and left one open, which provided some ways of survival and prevented Fu Gongyou's subordinates from resisting desperately and making it difficult to siege the city.

Further away from this remaining gate was an ambush pocket set up by Zhuge Military Advisor.

Danyang City.

City Lord's Mansion, back garden.

Fu Gongyou, who was wearing silver armor, had a tall figure and a long, gloomy face. He stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, looking at the direction of Yangzhou in the distance, and said to a thin middle-aged man beside him. "Brother Zuo, I broke away from Du Fuwei and established myself as king. I estimate that Qin Shuang and Du Fuwei will lead their troops to come next! The only thing I am worried about is Qin Shuang's flying knife and the battle formation of soldiers and horses. Who can I, Fu Gongyou, be afraid of?"

"Brother Gongyou, you worry too much. Qin Shuang is not indestructible. He will die if he is shot by an arrow!"

Zuo Youxian, who was thin and slender, smiled faintly. "Besides, you are not a soft persimmon that he can kill! As long as you hide among the archers, he can't get close to you. What can he do to you? This Danyang is your territory!"

"Ok!"

"Brother Zuo is right!"

After hearing what Zuo Youxian said, the worry on Fu Gongyou's face eased a little and he nodded.

"Report, my king, the three armies of the Tianqin Army have appeared fifty miles away from Danyang!"

Just then, a soldier in armor came in quickly and reported respectfully.
