Chapter 5, The Plan to Destroy the Song Dynasty
Twenty horses galloped forward without losing speed, led by a young man whose face was filled with anger. At this moment, his eyes glinted coldly, as if he had encountered some unpleasant matter.
Cough cough cough cough
You should go to the pharmacy and have the doctor take a look to see if you have injured any bones
Sister, sister, sister!" The man seemed to have gone mad, searching around frantically.

rumbling
He is the Crown Prince, Song Zhengxi?" Gu Hai squinted his eyes
"A sword pierced through the heart, yet he did not die?" Gu Han exclaimed in astonishment
This is the Crown Prince, Song Zhengxi! The son of the Crown Prince, I have information about him in the materials for my adoptive father. He is arrogant and overbearing, and can be considered a scourge of Song City. Despite his young age, he has a violent temperament and has ruined many young women in Song City
Get out of the way!
Gu Hai nodded and sighed as he looked around, saying: "Song City? It hasn't changed much over the years!"
... ...
Hmph! Song Zhengxi glanced sideways and let out a cold snort
Gu Han caught the person who had been knocked away.
Ah!
Sister, sister, you cannot die, sister!" The man kept shaking the woman's corpse.
Gu Hai nodded and said: "I can now be considered as having borrowed the influence of that great figure! Therefore, I must get everything in order before that great figure departs, in order to fulfill this promise"
... ...
However, Song Zhengxi did not stop, continuing to gallop on horseback, with twenty bodyguards following closely behind. Along the way, the entire street was in disarray.
"Foster father, right ahead is our next store, all of us are from the same family!" Gu Han introduced with a smile
As Song Zhengxi departed, the streets were filled with cries of anguish; along the way, at least eight individuals were injured by the horses of Song Zhengxi's group
Another man was knocked out by the dark horse under Song Zhengxi's crotch
Is a year long
Gu Hai sneered and said, "Have you forgotten what I told you?"
No, I want him to live!" Gu Hai's eyes glimmered with a hint of coldness
One year
There is no ash in the mouth; the person was killed first and then cremated, the group of guards said
... ...
"It is!" the ancient Han responded.
However, adoptive father, the morale of the Song state is currently at an all-time high. The ruler and the ministers are united, the ministers and the people are united, and the people and the military are united, forming an unbreakable bond. The morale is soaring, and this is an irreversible force! Adoptive father, you have been reviewing those materials for the past few days; have you come up with a solution?
Song Zhengxi's clothing was stained with some fresh blood; no, his twenty guards were also more or less stained with blood, and there were traces of being burned on their bodies. You must immediately send someone to investigate where they had been earlier
I have seen my adoptive father's plan to destroy the Song dynasty; the first move is to demoralize the troops! A glimmer of admiration flashed in Gu Han's eyes
I have nearly finalized the plan, let us call it the 'Plan to Annihilate the Song.' Since the rulers, ministers, citizens, and military of the Song state are united in spirit, I will dismantle them one by one, annihilating their military morale, public sentiment, ministerial loyalty, and royal authority. I want them to fall into chaos and be destroyed one after another! The Song state will naturally collapse!
"Foster father, do you want to use Song Zhengxi as a pretext? Do you want him dead?" Gu Han's expression changed.
"Master, there is a living one here!" a guard exclaimed
"Adoptive father, do not worry. However, news has come from the front that it seems Gao Xianzhi has heard that you are stationed at Hulaoguan and has already halted his march!" Gu Han said with a hint of pride.
"Foster father, that little butterfly's younger brother has already joined our caravan heading to the front lines. It shouldn't be long before he reaches Lin Chong at the front lines!" Gu Han said
The pigeon cage opened, and a large flock of pigeons soared into the sky, heading straight north
Gu Han and Gu Hai arrived at a remote village outside Song City
However, I saw that the small village had more than a dozen households, among which one household was relatively larger. Yet, it has now been completely reduced to a pile of ruins. A single fire nearly consumed all the households. The large household had a charred plaque, barely recognizable, with the two characters "Lin Fu" on it
One day later, at a small manor outside Song City, Gu Hai was directing a group of servants who were tying messages to a large number of carrier pigeons. Gu Han stood in front of Gu Hai, holding a stack of papers, with the top sheet prominently inscribed with the four characters "Plan to Annihilate Song"
Oh? Everyone immediately gathered around.
rumbling
The man quickly climbed outside, carefully searched around, and finally found a place where a dark-clad woman was.
Yet, in the ruins of the Lin residence, a man clad in black stirred weakly.
Two people were walking along the street while conversing. Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from a distance
No, Gao Xianzhi is not a person who is unwilling to take risks; his military strategies are indeed profound and mysterious. That is merely a misleading piece of information. If I am not mistaken, at this moment, he is not halting the march, but rather should be quietly arriving at Hulao Pass with a group of elite soldiers
In front of the street, there was a scene of chaos, with a large number of pedestrians hurriedly falling to the ground. Approximately twenty horses were galloping swiftly, each ridden by an individual dressed in brocade.
Thank you very much!" the person who was just hit expressed gratefully
It is! A heavy feeling surged within the heart of ancient Han.
"Drive, get out of the way, get out of the way!" Song Zhengxi urged his horse forward, galloping swiftly.
It is! Ancient Han nodded.
"Go and see if there are any living people left!" Gu Han said to the seven or eight guards behind him
Gu Hai furrowed his brows and said: "Cancel tomorrow's gathering, no need to look for others. Since we have encountered this, let it be Song Zhengxi. The sins we have committed will ultimately be repaid!"
Standing at the entrance of the small village, both Gu Hai and Gu Han's expressions darkened.
A group of guards quickly moved forward, searching among the crowd of people. Soon, charred bodies were being carried out one after another
Gu Hai shook his head and said: "That Gao Xianzhi is not simple. To defeat him with the hundred thousand troops at Hulao Pass will require an extremely long time. However, what I lack the most right now is time"
Yes, thank you, oh dear, it really seems like I got hurt, thank you both, I will take my leave now
Gu Hai and Gu Han were walking on a main street in Song City, observing the passersby.
"The Plan to Destroy the Song Dynasty? Foster Father, what should we do?" Gu Han said with slight agitation.
It is ! ''
Release this group of carrier pigeons, destroy the Song dynasty, begin! said Gu Hai
A sharp crack was heard, accompanied by a scream of agony, as a man who was slower to escape had his leg crushed, amidst his painful cries.
Ah? Foster father, hasn't the master of Qinghe already written the promise decree?
Ah!
Boom
"Foster father, I have heard that you once commanded troops and were unmatched in the world. Even a group of defeated soldiers could quickly become invincible under your leadership. Why is it that elder brother is stationed at Hulao Pass while you have come here?" Gu Han asked in confusion.
Time? Foster father, if you were to mobilize the troops at Hulaoguan and defeat the Song army, how long would it take?
I understand that such a commitment will only be honored when the parties involved are equal in strength or status. When there is a vast disparity in strength and status, this commitment is merely a joke. Perhaps the leader of the Qinghe Sect will fulfill it, or perhaps he will not pay it any mind at all, " Gu Han said solemnly
Oh?
All the corpses are outside!" Gu Han sighed softly
Most of the powerful and wealthy are like this. Such tragedies are not limited to this place; even the imperial grandson has experienced more than once. It is only because of their noble status that they are suppressed by those in power. This time, it will not be long before the officials come to cover this matter up
As that person left, Gu Han also looked at Gu Hai, who at that moment was gazing at the departing figure of Song Zhengxi, his brows slightly furrowed as he remarked, "What a strong smell of blood!"
Ah, ah, ah, Song Zhengxi, ah! The man held the woman's corpse, crying out in anguish.
Boom
Oh? What does the adoptive father intend to do?" Gu Han's eyes brightened as he spoke
Gao Xianzhi sat down as the first vanguard, Lin Chong? Gu Hai looked at the man in pain and said solemnly
Boom
Oh? Gu Han expressed a hint of surprise
Bang
In fact, on the way to Song, I have been thinking along similar lines. Over the past two days, I have reviewed all the materials you collected on the nobility of the Song state, merely to select the most critical aspects. Now, we are still lacking an opportunity and a candidate who can be utilized. Tomorrow, you will host a gathering and invite some of the individuals I have chosen to the Tian residence banquet, so that I can observe them closely
Two hours later
... ...
No, this person's heart is located on the right side, which is why he survived by chance, " Gu Hai said in a deep voice
Song State, Song City
From a young age, Gu Han had witnessed the formidable nature of Gu Hai. Whenever the term "plan" was mentioned, it inevitably involved a series of astonishing strategies. Each "plan" resembled a grand battle and a comprehensive tome, encompassing a vast array of elements, leaving one utterly unprepared.
If the ruler and the ministers are united, then sow discord between the ruler and the ministers! If the ministers and the people are united, then sow discord between the ministers and the people! If the people and the army are united, then sow discord between the people and the army!" The ancient sea spoke in a deep voice
A group of guards quickly cleared the ash from the man's mouth and nose, and poured some water into him.
"Foster father, I have already inquired thoroughly; this is the home of Lin Chong, the first vanguard under Gao Xianzhi! This woman is named Xiao Die, Lin Chong's wife. The two are very affectionate towards each other. Later, for some unknown reason, Song Zhengxi saw Xiao Die and has long been coveting her. Perhaps this time he is taking advantage of Lin Chong's absence, so..." Gu Han explained
On the side of Ancient Qin, they should be able to hold on for a while, so during this period, we must quickly eliminate his 800,000 troops
With a weak cough, the man opened his eyes and looked around in confusion. What met his gaze was a scene of ruins.
The woman appeared to have suffered a severe head injury, and there was a blood hole in her body. Her clothes were disheveled, but it was evident that she had lost too much blood and had died
However, the woman had long since fallen silent
A small butterfly is naturally far from enough. Next, we must collect all the criminal evidence against Song Zhengxi, as well as the tragic conditions of the families of soldiers in various regions. Even if there is none, we must fabricate some. Do not harm anyone; just disappear for a while! Once the war is over, we will let them emerge again.
Gu Hai shook his head and said: "If it comes to leading the army, I have never feared anyone. Sooner or later, we will win. The fact that the Qinghe Sect has so readily agreed to my request indicates that there is certainly a significant figure watching this battlefield. That is why they are allowing the secular world to engage in war so frivolously. My concern is that if too much time passes and that significant figure becomes impatient and leaves, will the Qinghe Sect still be able to fulfill their promise? I do not know..."
