Chapter 711 Target Zhaode House
The King of Water Margin World Volume 714: Target Zhaode Mansion? The coalition army rested under Hukou Pass for three or five days before continuing to leave, crossing the checkpoint and heading straight to the hinterland of Jin. After passing here, Jin can be said to have opened its doors, and most of the remaining prefectures and counties are within the attack range.
When the news reached the Jin Palace, from Tian Hu to the leader below were shocked. They never expected that these two natural dangerous places would have been captured by the coalition forces, and it took less than a month. What was going on? Could it be that the people of the Tang and Song dynasties were all gods and could they descend from the sky?
After investigation by intelligence personnel from multiple sources, they found out that these two cities had turned against each other, which made Tian Hu even more furious. He kicked the table over the spot and killed several people to vent his anger.
And the worse effect of this was that Tian Hu was even more distrustful of his subordinates. He sent all his relatives and hardcore subordinates to various prefectures and counties on the spot, called "assistance". In fact, the guards everywhere understood that this was the King of Jin's suspicion of him. These people were just here to monitor him, which led to a more depressed morale. The relationship between the Tian family and people of other surnames became more fragile, although it was not very strong before.
Tian Hu was not a meticulous person, so he didn't notice it, and even if he knew it, he couldn't care. Now only his own relatives and those who followed him from the beginning could reassure him - for example, the Hukou Pass general Liu Hui and others who would rather die than surrender and were finally killed in public, while the rest of him seemed to be a little like surrendering to the coalition forces.
The coalition was filled with joy. Du Jia and Su Taiwei specially offered to reward him for three days before leaving again, so the morale was absolutely high.
Where should we take the next target? Everyone started to discuss again. Unlike before, they had only one target. Now they have entered the hinterland of Jin State, and there are openness in front of them. At least there are more than a dozen places to attack, and they can choose freely.
Everyone's mood is completely different. To give an inappropriate analogy, they were like girls in brothels and were not qualified to choose guests at all. But now they have turned into guests and can choose the girls they like at will.
Therefore, everyone was very enthusiastic about the discussion. Some people suggested to attack Jinning Mansion, which was guarded by Tian Hu's third brother Tian Biao. This is also the second most important town of Jin, second only to Tian Hu's old nest Weining Mansion. Some people suggested to attack several county towns first to expand the results of the battle, and further weaken the strength of Jin. Some brave and eager to make contributions, such as Dong Ping and Qin Mingsuo, who were even brave and eager to make contributions, clamored to attack Weining Mansion directly, and gave them a capturing thieves to capture the king first.
Su Taiwei and his wife were also amused and crying about this kind of "brave but not resourceful" suggestion. Although they are now making frequent reports, Tian Hu and the others are still very powerful. There are more than 200,000 troops and dozens of powerful generals, and they are also taking advantage of the home court. It is obviously not time to attack Huanglong. Instead, if they are in a deep siege, it will be troublesome.
At this time, as usual, King Du Jia of Tang came to make an idea again. The audience combined the audience's expectations, qualifications, abilities, official positions, etc., and only he could make everyone obey.
Du Jia was actually confident. He pointed to a city on the map and said slowly: "I have actually considered this issue. Our next target of attack is here."
Everyone was excited and hurriedly looked at it. It turned out that Du Jia was talking about Zhaode Mansion. Su Taiwei smiled and said, "Your Highness has been prepared. It seems that we have been wasting our efforts just now. I hope Your Highness will help us stupid people tell us why we chose this place?"
Du Jia smiled slightly: "There are three reasons for choosing Zhaode Mansion. First, although there are many guards here, there are no direct descendants of Tian Hu. Although he recently sent his clan brother Tian Guang to the place, it only increased the conflict between the Tian family and the foreign surname; second, the defense of this city is only ordinary; third, the two deputy generals here, Jin Ding, Huang Yue and Shan Shiqi have a good personal relationship. The two have sent letters quietly. They will offer their guards as long as the opportunity is right."
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this. Su Taiwei touched his beard and laughed: "No wonder your highness is so calm and composed. It turns out that everything is under control. Being able to cooperate with your highness is really a blessing for the officials, haha, haha."
However, Wu Yong said worriedly: "Your Highness, according to the information, it is fine for the other generals of Zhaode Mansion. There is a national teacher named Qiao Daoqing who heard that he is good at using magic tricks and is extremely powerful. We have to be careful. Here are his detailed information. Please ask Your Highness and you to take a look, so we are prepared for any trouble."
The generals hurriedly picked up the information in front of him and found the generals who were watching Qiao Daoqing. They turned out that their original name was Qiao Lie, and their ancestral home was Jingyuan, Shaanxi. When they were young, they were very talented in practicing Taoism. They could see "foreign objects" with their eyes. However, people said that he was an "evil path", so he planned to go to Luo Zhenren to learn the right path, but unfortunately he was rejected, so he had to leave reluctantly.
Later, he also made a name in the world, and was nicknamed "Phantom Demon Lord". Once Qiao Daoqing went to Anding Prefecture, and there was no rainfall in the place for a long time. The state officials offered a reward of 3,000 guan to seek someone who could pray for rain. He successfully completed the task, but the state officials owed the reward money. It turned out that it was embezzled by a local treasury official and a "false scholar" He Cai. Qiao Daoqing was extremely angry and beat the treasury official on the spot. The treasury official died of serious injuries.
Qiao Daoqing could only escape from the world, and fled to Weisheng with his mother. Later, he was recruited by Tian Hu and became an important official of Tian Hu. Tian Hu relied on Daoqing to make every decision, and falsely appointed him as the real person in charge of the country and the position of Left Prime Minister of the Military Advisor, and was in charge of Zhaode Mansion.
After seeing this, the generals frowned. They were not afraid of killing the generals in front of the formation and leading their subordinates to charge into the formation. They were more troubled by such enemies who were good at illusion. Du Jia smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Jialiang doesn't have to worry too much. When it comes to magic, do you forget that we still have Mr. Gongsun here? According to the information, Qiao Daoqing wanted to worship under the disciple of Luo Zhenren, but we, Mr. Gongsun, are the eldest disciples of Luo Zhenren, so how could these two sides be on the same level?"
Everyone suddenly realized and looked at Gongsun Sheng. Gongsun Sheng was also slightly proud, but he still said humbly: "Your Highness is really an over-reward, and you can't say that. Since Qiao Daoqing has this name, he still has real talents and knowledge. When the time comes, I will try my best to curb him. I will rely more on you."
Qin Ming was overjoyed and said, "It is enough for Master Gongsun to be able to control the demonic path. The rest of the villains will take action. It seems that this Zhaode Mansion is just around the corner, hahaha."
