Chapter 147: Planning and strategizing, winning from afar
"Someone is coming..."
After returning to the inn where she lived, the first thing Zhao Min did was to shout loudly.
And as the sound fell.
Several figures instantly flew over from a distance, and judging from their movements, each of them was an expert in one-on-one combat.
Especially the two old men with unique looks. If the people from Wudang Mountain were here, they would definitely be furious.
Because these two people were the two Xuanming Elders who injured Zhang Wuji with the Xuanming Divine Palm back then.
"The county lord."
After several people appeared, they saluted Zhao Min first.
"Ada, Aer."
"My subordinate is here."
"Immediately pass the news about Gao Changsheng in the Ming Dynasty to father through our secret channels."
Zhao Min spoke urgently.
"Yes."
"Minmin, are you preparing to..."
Fang Yeyu heard the voice and slowly walked over from a distance.
"Yes, Gao Changsheng left Nanjing and entered the Ming Dynasty. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"Without Gao Changsheng's command, his army of hundreds of thousands will be leaderless and their combat effectiveness will surely be greatly reduced. How can we let this opportunity go?"
"As long as I pass the news to my father, he will naturally pass it on to the Khan."
Zhao Min spoke with a smile in her eyes.
Fang Yeyu nodded repeatedly: "Minmin is worthy of being the female Zhuge of the Yuan Dynasty. If you were a man, your Ruyang Palace would probably be the three generals of the father and son, haha."
"Brother, you are too kind." Zhao Min shook her head repeatedly.
"You guys, don't be happy too soon."
Just then, Pang Ban's voice came slowly.
"Hmm? What does this mean, Master?"
Fang Yeyu turned his head in confusion.
Zhao Min narrowed her eyes upon hearing this, with a thoughtful look flashing in her pupils.
"You have also met Gao Changsheng in person. What do you think of him?"
“Strong.”
"overbearing."
“Fearless.”
"The strength is terrifying."
The two of them talked to each other and expressed their impressions of Gao Changsheng.
Pang Ban smiled and shook his head.
"Besides these, didn't you find anything else?"
After saying this, without waiting for the two to think, Pang Ban spoke directly:
"Worry."
"From beginning to end, there was never any worry on his face."
"Whether it's dealing with me or yourself."
After hearing this, Fang Yeyu was still confused, but Zhao Min had a vague idea of something.
And Pangban's laughter continued:
"There's no trace of caution on his part."
At this point, Zhao Min finally reacted and exclaimed:
He never worried about his whereabouts being exposed.”
Daming is indeed far away from Liyang.
But now, because of the incident involving Wang Yangming, all the countries have gathered together in the Ming Dynasty, and there are people from every country.
The flow of information is naturally very fast.
If Gao Changsheng really came here secretly, he would never reveal his whereabouts easily.
But Gao Changsheng never tried to hide his identity, and he just showed his face openly.
You have to know that Zhao Min is from the hostile country of Mongolia.
"Gao Changsheng made some arrangements before he left." Zhao Min said in a deep voice.
There is only one explanation for the other party's behavior.
Before Gao Changsheng left, he had already arranged the defense strategy for his troops, and he was not worried at all about the enemy taking action.
Pang Dian nodded: "That should be the case. There is another point. Even if Bei Mang Li Yang knew, he might not dare to really do it."
"If the loss of hundreds of thousands of troops happens again, the foundations of the two countries may really collapse."
"So if they are not sure of victory, neither the Queen of Beimang nor Zhao Dun of Liyang is likely to take action."
Zhao Min nodded:
"On the battlefield, Gao Changsheng has already established his power. Except for a few famous generals from various countries, anyone who encounters him will lose some momentum."
"However, no matter what, Gao Changsheng is not here after all. No matter how detailed his arrangements are, it is impossible to perfectly replace his role."
Zhao Min spoke decisively.
"In any case, this is a huge opportunity. There must be a gap between the troops with high immortality and those without it. They must be aware of it."
Pang Ban shook his head: "The last time the two countries fought, it was Genghis Khan who instigated it, but in the end, they gained nothing."
"This time, it may not be so easy for the two countries to send troops, unless our Great Yuan also moves together."
"However, Genghis Khan's thirteen wings are all at the front line. They can't easily turn around, unless..."
Pang Ban spoke softly, but did not continue talking after the end.
Zhao Min on the opposite side's eyes lit up when she heard this.
"By the way, Genghis Khan led his army to war. Master, why didn't you go with him?"
Zhao Min did not continue the previous topic, but changed the subject and talked about something else.
"Haha, I don't know much about military formations, so it's useless for me to go to the battlefield."
Pang Ban spoke casually.
But Zhao Min showed a look of disbelief. Although Pang Ban was just a martial artist, it was definitely a joke to say that he knew nothing.
Moreover, when Temujin went on the expedition, he always followed him.
"You are quite courageous. You even dare to test your master."
"Disciple, I dare not." Zhao Min quickly lowered her head and spoke.
But she was not panicked, because there was no anger in Pang Ban's tone.
"Ugh……"
Pang Ban slowly raised his head and suddenly sighed.
"I heard that your brother, Kuyuk Timur, was highly regarded by Genghis Khan and was transferred to his army, and was also given the command of one wing."
Zhao Min nodded. This news had long been no secret.
Her brother Wang Baobao, Si Hanfei and Batu are the rising stars of the Yuan Dynasty.
"Chagan Temur pledged allegiance to Mongke Khan, and Kuyuk Temur joined Genghis Khan's camp. Your Ruyang Palace has made a good plan."
Before she finished her words, sweat already appeared on Zhao Min's forehead.
In the Mongol Empire, it was indeed Genghis Khan who was the only powerful person. When talking about the Mongol Empire, one can never bypass Genghis Khan.
But the one sitting on the real throne now is Mongke.
It would be fine if he was just a foolish ruler, but Zhao Min had met Mongke, and she knew clearly that Mongke was also a great ruler.
And can a heroic ruler really tolerate having an emperor emeritus sitting above him?
Yes, Temujin is the symbol of the Yuan Dynasty and the grandfather of Mongke.
But for a real emperor, how many people would care about these things? For the sake of power and the throne, not to mention grandfather, even parents and brothers may not be abandoned.
Wang Baobao was actively recruited by Temujin, and the Ruyang Palace did not refuse, and was even very happy.
It now seems that there are still considerable hidden dangers in this matter.
"Teacher, Master..."
Zhao Min's voice was already trembling.
The Ruyang Palace was indeed a famous family. With the title of prince and both father and son being famous generals, they were quite prominent in the Yuan Dynasty.
But compared to the real top figures, especially the series of figures in Temujin's lineage, they are nothing.
They couldn't afford to offend either Temujin or Mongke.
But now, they are likely to be involved in the dispute between these two characters without realizing it.
How could Zhao Min not be afraid?
Since ancient times, the struggle for imperial power has always been accompanied by four words: heads rolling.
Pang Ban waved his hand:
"It hasn't come to that yet. I was just saying it casually."
"Besides, who can see clearly what will happen in the future?"
"Didn't Tolui Khan and Ogedei have that intention back then? Not necessarily, but in the end they were still trapped by the throne."
"Mongke Khan is indeed a man of great talent and vision, but now that he has taken the throne, time is no longer on his side, unless something earth-shattering happens."
"But from the current perspective, the situation seems to be stable for the time being. This arrangement of your Ruyang Palace may not be a bad thing."
Hearing this, Zhao Min finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But she didn't notice that an inexplicable look appeared in Pang Ban's eyes.
"Genghis Khan, Thirteen Wings."
An inaudible whisper came from Pang Ban's mouth, and even Zhao Min who was standing next to him did not hear it.
"Don't think too much, just do what you want to do, don't worry about me." Pang Ban waved his hand and said, and then he added softly:
"When I accepted you, I also saw your brother. He has good talent, but it's a pity that Ye Yu had already been accepted by him."
"This can be considered as a kind of fate, and no matter what, he is also a talented person in the Mengyuan period."
"The battlefield is blind and full of dangers. Let him be careful."
Zhao Min was stunned. Pang Ban's words were somewhat nonsensical and irrational. She always felt that there was something else behind Pang Ban's words.
No matter how hard I thought, I couldn't figure out the reason.
"I will pass on Master's words to my brother. Thank you for your concern."
Pang Ban didn't say anything else, just waved his hand and walked towards his room.
Just when Zhao Min and others were discussing Gao Changsheng's matter in the inn.
In a room just one street away from here.
Gao Changsheng was also thinking silently.
He had long anticipated that his whereabouts would be exposed.
After all, although he did not show off along the way, he also could not hide his whereabouts.
However, he did not expect that the first person he would run into was not the Liyang Beimang delegation or the Beiliang people, but Zhao Min from the Yuan Dynasty.
It is obvious that there are some differences between these parties.
Just like what Zhao Min and others said, if it were Beimang and Li Yang, even if they knew, they might not dare to take action.
Beimang is okay, after all, there is still Dong Zhuo and Tuoba Bodhisattva.
But Li Yang was different. The loss of the Imperial Guards caused the power controlled by Zhao Dun to drop sharply.
Most importantly, after the losses of Lu Shengxiang, Qi Shence and others, Gu Jiantang basically rebelled and Xu Xiao could no longer command him.
In today's Li Yang, even if it could really gather a large army, it would not be able to find any generals who could fight.
Although Prince Guangling is capable of fighting and is willing to follow Zhao Dun's command, facing Gao Changsheng, I'm afraid even Prince Guangling himself does not have the confidence.
And Zhao Dun would never take that risk if Prince Guangling and his Guangling Army suffered losses again.
Not to mention Xu Xiao, Zhao Dun couldn't even suppress several other Wangs with the same surname in the country.
Therefore, if it was just Beimang Li Yang, based on the arrangements made before Gao Changsheng left, there would not be any need to worry too much.
But things were different with the intervention of the Mongols.
You should know that the sudden alliance between the two countries last time was the work of Temujin.
Although Temujin is now at the front line with a large army, there is no guarantee that he will not take any action.
And even if Temujin turned a blind eye, there were still other people in the Yuan Dynasty.
Many people in this world will instinctively think of Temujin when they mention the Yuan Dynasty. It seems that the only things that the entire Yuan Dynasty can show off are Temujin and his Thirteen Wings.
But Gao Changsheng knew that Mongke, who was sitting on the dragon throne, and his brother Kublai were equally extraordinary.
These two are also two hungry wolves who can eat meat and want to eat meat.
Of course, Gao Changsheng had actually estimated these things before he left.
But he didn't expect to meet Zhao Min and her group so soon.
Since Zhao Min knew this, there was no need to think too much. People in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, including Liyang and Beimang, would soon confirm that Gao Changsheng was not in Nanjing, but in the Ming Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Gao Changsheng quickly raised his hand and wrote a line on the paper.
"Send this letter back to Nanjing."
At the top of the paper, a huge word "Ling" was written in iron and silver strokes.
Just this one word gives people a sense of fighting spirit.
"Yes."
One of the eighteen riders stepped out and took the secret order.
Gao Changsheng nodded without any panic on his face.
He had already explained many strategic deployments clearly to Lieutenant General Li before setting off.
Even at the speed of a few people, it is estimated that the arrangement has been roughly completed by now.
This order is just to make some minor supplements and give a slight reminder.
"The next step is to see what the Mongols will do and whether they can really convince the two countries."
Gao Changsheng smiled lightly.
Although he was not in Nanjing, the terrain around Nanjing seemed to have been directly unfolded in front of him.
There are many types of war.
Leading the army in person, advancing rapidly, and charging into battle is one way.
Sitting in the general's tent and commanding the army, forming a chain of formations is also a kind of formation.
At this time, planning and winning battles thousands of miles away is also a kind of.
From the two post houses, two majestic kites spread their wings and flew out almost simultaneously, heading in two different directions.
No one knew that these two ordinary flying kites might trigger a shocking change thousands of miles away.
"Amitabha, I am the Tubo Jiumozhi, and I am here to greet the owner of this place. I wonder if you can see me."
Less than half a moment after the kite flew out, a clear voice was heard outside the posthouse.
Hearing this, even Gao Changsheng couldn't help but show a strange look.
When Nangong Pushe heard the sound, he quickly walked out of the next room.
"This monk's injury healed in such a short time?" Nangong Pushe asked in surprise.
You have to know that from the time they met Jiumozhi to the time Gao Changsheng was invited to the palace and returned, it only took most of a day.
Half a day ago, Jiumozhi was still vomiting blood.
Now I can come to visit you openly.
Even for a grandmaster, this recovery speed is astonishing enough.
Gao Changsheng shook his head. He didn't really care about it. He was just wondering why Jiumozhi suddenly came to his house.
"Master, please come in."
The voice floated out.
Although he was not clear about the purpose of the visit, Gao Changsheng did not refuse.
"I am Jiumozhi, the humble monk. I am honored to meet you two donors."
Soon, the two saw Jiumozhi's iconic bun.
Nangong Pushe also realized instantly that the opponent's injuries had not healed at all, because at this time Jiumozhi's face was still pale, and it seemed that he had only barely suppressed his internal injuries.
"Amitabha, I have met you once before, but I was busy at that time, so it was really impolite..."
"Later I learned that the donor was actually the famous Duke of Qi of the Sui Dynasty, so I hurried here to pay a visit." Jiumozhi clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully.
"You're welcome, Master." Gao Changsheng smiled and waved his hand.
"I have personally seen the master's heroic figure at the city gate before. He is worthy of being a great Tibetan and Tantric monk." Gao Changsheng said with a smile.
Hearing this, Jiumozhi's face involuntarily turned red.
If it were an ordinary person, he might not notice his abnormality, but Gao Changsheng was also a grandmaster, and that condition could not be hidden from him.
"By the way, the master is a powerful grandmaster. Who is the one fighting against the master? Why is he so powerful?" Nangong Pushe asked.
"I don't know. That person has not revealed his true appearance. However, his Kung Fu is extremely special. His body is like a diamond, flawless and flawless. His Kung Fu has a Buddhist aura, but is very different from Shaolin's Golden Bell Cover and Vajra Indestructible Body Kung Fu. It is really strange."
When that person was mentioned, Jiumozhi's face showed a strange expression, and there was fear in his pupils.
But when he talked about martial arts, his face glowed unconsciously.
"Oh? There is such a magical skill?" Nangong Pushe snorted.
A strange look appeared on Gao Changsheng's face.
Hearing Nangong Pushe's voice, Jiumozhi waved his hand.
"It's not magical, it's not magical. Although the technique is powerful, it's not necessarily comparable to the Golden Bell Cover taught by Bodhidharma himself."
"Everyone knows that General Gao inherited the legacy of Marshal Yu Juluo. Speaking of powerful and mysterious, I think the Purple Thunder Sword Technique is even better."
At this point, Jiumozhi's eyes seemed to have turned into two light bulbs, with greed clearly visible in his eyes.
Gao Changsheng finally understood Jiumozhi's purpose.
No wonder he came to my door without even recovering from his injuries.
It turned out that this guy was eyeing his Purple Thunder Sword Technique.
"Haha, Master, you are too kind. It's just an ordinary sword technique, not a high-level one."
Gao Changsheng smiled and waved his hand.
"However, since you have mentioned this, Master, as a high-ranking Tibetan monk, I should demonstrate it to you."
Jiumozhi nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"But Master is a Buddhist, and displaying such a killing knife is a bit rude after all."
"Ah?" As expected, Jiumozhi immediately showed disappointment.
"Hahaha."
Gao Changsheng laughed out loud.
"It seems that the master is also a man of temperament."
"I suddenly remembered that compared to the Purple Thunder Blade Technique, I have another technique that is more suitable for the identity of a senior Tantric monk."
"Oh, I wonder what kind of martial arts it is?" Jiumozhi asked while licking his lips.
Gao Changsheng spoke a few words gently and calmly.
"Wha, what?"
"Three, three bodies, retribution power?"
The sharp sound pierced the roof directly.
Jiumozhi stood up suddenly, his whole body trembling.
If you look closely, you can find that a few strands of crystal liquid are slowly flowing from the corners of his mouth.
