The Southern Water Network was erected by the Dagan Military Affairs Council as the commander of the Southern Expedition Army, which was mainly for this reason.

In addition, the Pai Gang was headquartered in Jinling, and Pang Lichuan, as the former leader of the Pai Gang, was already familiar with the southern martial arts world and the world.

Pang Lichuan became the commander of the Southern Expedition Army for the second time. He thought he could build a large territory for the big fight and make another achievement like the first time.

I never thought that the second southern expedition had been very difficult from the beginning, both in Zhejiang and Hunan.

Even Ganzhou Province, which had been under the rule of Dakan, was surrounded by bandits and rivers, and undercurrents were surging.

From the autumn of the third year of Ganli to the present, ten months have passed. The Southern Expedition Forces have only captured two or three prefectures in Zhejiang Province and Hunan Province, and even less than half of the area of ​​the two provinces.

This is far from Pang Lichuan's expected goal before the second southern expedition, making him feel that the burden on his shoulders is getting heavier and heavier.

Especially after being seriously injured by an unknown innate master, the pressure became even greater, and even a little bit of self-blame or self-doubt.

"How is General Zhang's injury?" Pang Lichuan asked Lu Xian, who had just seen Zhang Susu's injury.

Lu Xian is a disciple of Pang Lichuan, so he is quite respectful to Pang Lichuan. Hearing this, he replied: "General Zhang has begun to improve. I guess he will be cured in one month."

"One month?" Pang Lichuan's expression became more bitter, and his thick eyebrows frowned: "I'm afraid the enemy will not give us so much time."

Seeing Pang Lichuan's anxiety, Lu Xian said: "Why do you have to worry so much, Master? Luoyang has already heard the news and will definitely send helpers, and it may even be His Majesty who came in person. What's the trouble of some clowns at that time?"

"I hope this is the case." Pang Lichuan was still a little unhappy about the situation.

It’s not that he has no confidence in Ouyang Ye’s strength, but that he feels that the other party may not necessarily meet Ouyang Ye. If the enemy hides it, no matter how high Ouyang Ye’s martial arts are, it will be useless.

In that case, we can probably only use the strategy of "leading the snake out of the hole".

Pang Lichuan felt that perhaps he could only use himself as bait to make meritorious contributions.

Wucheng.

This is a small town in Guizhou Province.

Today, this place has become the alliance location for the two major forces in the south.

If we talk about this largest force in the south, it is naturally the small court of Emperor Jingping in Suicheng.

The Guangzhou-City controls Lingnan, Fujian Province, most of Guizhou Province, Hunan Province, and a small part of Zhejiang Province. The most important thing is that it has not been involved in the wars in the Central Plains in the past few years, so it is rich in money and food, and the soldiers and generals are also trained to be quite elite.

If it were a few months ago, these factors alone would not be looked down upon by the world.

There is no other way, there are few masters in Suicheng, especially those in the innate realm, so they act very timidly.

However, starting a few months ago, Suicheng changed its previous style and suddenly became tougher, and took the initiative to attack the Gan army several times. Especially the last time, it sent several innate masters, which was said to have severely damaged the commander of the Dagan Nan expedition and another innate warrior, thus greatly boosting its power.

As for the other major force in this alliance, the Red Lotus Heaven Kingdom, which has risen in Yungui provinces in the past two or three years.

The Red Lotus Heaven Kingdom was originally the Red Lotus Sect and a professional rebel. The Yungui provinces are poor mountains and bad waters, and the people are mostly poor. When the Red Lotus Sect comes here, it feels like a fish in water.

Therefore, just by bringing some of the backbones of the Red Lotus Sect that they had taken, the Red Lotus Heaven quickly grew stronger in two or three years.

To this day, it is said that Ning Bugui, the leader of the Red Lotus Sect, has broken through to the Hedao Realm, and his subordinates have recruited several innate realms again. As for the Samadhi realm, there are more than a dozen warriors. It can be said that their strength has exceeded the level of their former level in the Central Plains.

With such strength, Suicheng believes that Dayu is orthodox and should have had no rivals with the rebels like the Red Lotus Sect. He had to pinch his nose and treat the Red Lotus Sect as an ally to fight against the big knights together.

On the surface, both sides only sent an envoy and a innate master in this alliance in Wucheng, but they had their own arrangements behind their backs.

Wucheng Government Office backyard.

The messenger from Suicheng said tough and coldly: "In this alliance, your Red Lotus Sect should be the only one who is my Dayu horse. If you can destroy the Gan Kingdom in the north, I, Dayu, allow you to preach the Red Lotus Sect freely among the people in the future and no longer regard you as a cult."

The envoy on Suicheng was an official from the Dayu court who was a Jinshi. He was originally hostile to the Red Lotus Sect. Although he was appointed as an envoy this time, he still did not hide his disgust towards the Red Lotus Sect.

In his opinion, the biggest concession was that Dayu was willing to recognize the Red Lotus Sect as an ally, so there was no need to give any benefits.

As for allowing the Red Lotus Sect to preach freely among the people in the future, it is only a temporary measure.

If the Dayu Kingdom can really revive the Dayu Kingdom, the court will inevitably strangle the Red Lotus Sect the most thoroughly, leaving no trace in this world.

The messenger of the Red Lotus Sect was a handsome young man, and his real identity was the right-hand man who would rather not return to the new recruit.
