Chapter 722: Zhang Xutuo appeared
In the mountains and forests of the Ming Dynasty, more than 20 miles away from the camp of the Ming Dynasty Mountain, the cranes swooped down, and this was where Pei Ju and the two thousand soldiers hid.
Seeing Pei Ju, Wu Ming opened his mouth and asked: "When I came back, I saw that they had rushed out of the camp, according to the footsteps, they should have collided with Wei Wentong and them, I estimate that it will not take long for them to retreat from there to the camp." ”
Pei Ju said: "That group of straw bales can't be Wei Wentong's opponent for Zhao Gui, is the saint really dead?"
Seeing Wu Ming nodded, Pei Ju showed a moment of sadness, and soon returned to normal, and then asked, "Why didn't General Zhang come with you?"
Wu Ming said: "After all, the relationship between him and the Yang family is also deep, I want to leave him some time, don't worry, it should be in time." ”
Pei Ju suddenly said at this time: "Divine son, you are really much stronger than I imagined. ”
Wu Ming took the lead in coming alone, for Pei Ju's words, coming alone brought a strong self-confidence to Pei Ju, the source of self-confidence is strength, Wu Ming's seemingly simple move, and then Pei Ju's point of view, is to prove that he did not suffer any harm in the battle with Yang Guang.
Wu Ming smiled slightly: "After the battle with Old Man Zhang, although I was injured, but after the injury healed, I found that my progress is indeed great, otherwise the old eunuch beside Yang Guang is indeed a little difficult. ”
Pei Ju deliberately pretended to be puzzled, and said, "There are still such masters around the saint?"
Wu Ming glanced at Pei Ju meaningfully and said, "Master Pei, your acting skills are good." ”
Pei Ju was silent for a while, then suddenly bowed to Wu Ming and saluted, and said, "I do know the existence of that master, and I still ask Shenzi Haihan for this." ”
Wu Ming said: "If I don't Haihan, you are already lying down and preparing to make a pile of dry bones." ”
Pei Ju smiled and said: "I know that you are reluctant to kill me, although you seem to be a very unprincipled person, in fact, your principles are relatively high, and his roots are in a high place, and many people can't see it." ”
Wu Ming smiled unconsciously, and said: "You really need to learn to pat on the back, Master Pei really learns to be rich and has five cars, yes! I'm actually more curious, if you don't tell the old eunuch about the existence, in case I am shot to death by that person? Then you are not in danger? The Pei family can't withstand the toss of Yang Xiao's girl." ”
Pei Ju replied: "I didn't think that Xue Lao could defeat you, I just hoped that he could let you settle down in the future." ”
Wu Ming asked rhetorically, "Just like Old Man Zhang?"
Pei Ju hesitated for a moment, then nodded calmly, and said: "Yes, in the case of Old Man Zhang, I guess that you and General Zhang were also injured in the battle, if you can add another firewood, maybe it will be ignited, you know that this is a compound of many people's interests." ”
Wu Ming smiled: "Very good, very honest, it's a pity that it failed, it's better to try less like this in the future, my temper is okay, it's just that Yang Xiao's girl has a bad temper, I'm afraid that she will do something that hurts the harmony between us!"
A look of uneasiness flashed in Pei Ju's eyes when he heard this, Rao was very good at covering it up, and he couldn't avoid Wu Ming's observant eyes.
Sure enough, the family has a fierce wife, not only to suppress the town, but also to suppress the demons and monsters with bad intentions! Wu Ming smiled proudly.
At this time, a general came to report the news, interrupting the conversation between Wu Ming and Pei Ju.
"My lord, Du Fuwei and Wei Wentong have already started the battle for the Dragon Court, Du Fuwei has been defeated and has retreated in the direction of Ming Chaoshan camp. ”
Pei Ju asked, "How about the battle damage of the two sides?"
"The exact injuries are not yet known, but according to the scouts, Du Fuwei was seriously killed and wounded. ”
"Got it, keep staring at me. ”
The general retreated, and Wu Ming said: "I really don't know what this old Du's brain thinks, their specialty is obviously to fight guerrillas, and they can't even think of starting a frontal battle with Wei Wentong." ”
Pei Ju said: "This is the terrible thing about Yang Xiao, this is really like Yang Su, everything is calculated thoroughly, and there is no mistake." ”
Wu Ming smiled proudly, ending the conversation.
Half an hour later, Du Fuwei entered the camp of Ming Chaoshan, followed by Wei Wentong and Zhao Gui to launch an attack on the camp. Half an hour after the battle began, Zhang Xutuo, Xiao Yong and other Tang disciples arrived at Pei Ju and joined Wu Ming.
After an hour of fierce fighting, Du Fuwei suffered more than half of the casualties, the army's heart began to waver, and the remaining bandits had no intention of fighting, and Du Fuwei had no choice but to give up the Ming Chaoshan camp.
Wei Wentong and Zhao Gui, who occupied the camp, chose to rest and recuperate, and the uninterrupted fighting in the past two days had exhausted the soldiers physically and mentally, especially Yang Guang's death was even worse.
When Du Fuwei's team marched to the edge of Mingchao Mountain, they met Pei Ju and Wu Ming, Wu Ming simply comforted Du Fuwei, asked Pei Ju to give Du Fuwei some medicine, and let them leave without embarrassment.
Pei Ju complained with a little dissatisfaction: "This group of bandits has no meaning for the country or the people!"
Wu Ming glanced at Pei Ju and said, "Inconspicuous power will often become the key to victory or defeat. ”
After saying that, Wu Ming ignored Pei Ju, walked to Zhang Xutuo's side, and said, "Old man, let's get ready to go." ”
Zhang Xutuo said: "Wei Wentong and Zhao Gui are both powerful people in the north, and I hope to leave their lives alive." ”
Wu Ming thought for a while and said, "These two must die, otherwise they won't be able to justify themselves." ”
The so-called self-justification is just an excuse, mainly because they have some strength in the north, which makes Wu Ming not feel at ease, Zhang Xutuo naturally understands such a truth, and the plea just now is just unbearable, so he sighed and said, "Okay." ”
Ready, Pei Ju ordered the team to set off, Wu Ming rode the Cloud Turning Crane, took Zhang Xutuo, and was escorted by the Tang Sect disciples on the phoenix spirit beast, and flew to the Ming Chaoshan camp first. About a quarter of an hour later, Wu Ming and the others met the dragoons who were patrolling around.
The enemy was very red when they met, and this was used to describe the meeting between the dragon rider and the phoenix spirit beast knight, which was very appropriate, two groups of high-level beasts, hovering in the sky above the camp, and suddenly there was a tense atmosphere.
Zhang Xutuo shouted: "The old man is here, I see who dares to do it!"
There was a familiar voice with the majesty of the past, and that majesty reminded the dragoons of the glory of the past, and they looked at the source of the sound and found where Zhang Xutuo was.
The captain couldn't help asking, "Is it General Zhang?"
Zhang Xutuo angrily reprimanded: "Presumptuous! If I remember correctly, your name is Zhang Xu, the old man who entered the assessment of the Praetorian Guard back then was still present!"
Zhang Xu's expression was dazed, and he immediately saluted respectfully and said, "Meet General Zhang!"
Zhang Xutuo said: "Since you know the old man, you still have weapons against each other, don't you also want to rebel with the rebels?"
Zhang Xu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What does Old General Zhang mean?"
Zhang Xutuo said: "I am under the edict of the saint to assist the crown prince Yang Zhao to inherit the unification. ”
Zhang Xu hugged his fists and said: "Naturally, I am ordered to follow the general, but the people around you are to kill the evil people in the saint, and we have to avenge the revenge for the saint!
Zhang Xutuo scolded: "Do you think the old man will betray the court?"
Zhang Xu said: "Don't dare, the old general is loyal and patriotic, and the younger generations of the old general naturally don't dare to doubt it!"
"Since you don't dare to doubt it, then you can just do what I say, I can only tell you that it is Wei Wentong and Zhao Gui who really betrayed the Holy One!"
Zhang Xu fell silent for a while before he said: "No wonder I have seen the signal for help sent by the Holy Lord, the two of them still insist on attacking the Li family, just let us go back and take a look! It's just that the corpse of the Holy Lord is obviously in his hands, if I guess correctly, this person should be the divine son of the Tang Sect, and our General Yang Lin was also plotted by them!"
Wu Ming opened his mouth and said: "General Zhang is reluctant to explain more, but if I have the opportunity to turn the conflict into a jade silk, I am still willing to say it!"
Zhang Xu didn't stop Wu Ming, so Wu Ming smiled slightly, and continued what he had just said, "In order to quickly return to stability in the world, your lord has reached a cooperation with the Tang Gate, and General Zhang was secretly sent to the Tang Gate to talk to us during this time, and your General Yang Lin is not dead!"
But some people Wei Wentong don't want your lord to negotiate peace with us, they only want to destroy the Li family, because the Li family is destroyed and the interests of those who are ready to move, and your lord also died under their poisonous hands, and we attacked the Dragon Court spaceship, it was because we learned of their tricks and wanted to save your saints, but unfortunately it was still a step too late!
Before, I held the corpse of your lord in my hand, and what I did in Taiyuan City was also to obey the orders of your lord Yang Guang, he didn't want the Li family to be broken! This brother is also a man of the march, you can imagine that if the Li family in Taiyuan is destroyed, Wei Wentong and Zhao Gui occupy the territory of the Li family, if they cooperate with those ambitious people in the north, the bloodline of the Yang family may really be cut off!"
Wu Ming's words could be heard by Zhang Xu, and the other remaining forty or so dragon riders present naturally fell into their ears, none of them were stupid people, after thinking about it for a while, they found that there was nothing illogical about Wu Ming's words, and they had already believed most of them for a while.
Wu Ming gently rubbed Zhang Xutuo with his elbow, although Zhang Xutuo sighed in his heart, he would not delay Wu Ming's plan, so he immediately said: "Zhang Xu, the reason has been told to you, as for the very choice of rebellion, you can decide for yourself!"
Zhang Xutuo's proper display of toughness made Zhang Xu and the rest of the dragoons fully believe Wu Ming's words, Zhang Xu showed a look of shame, and said, "Please also ask General Zhang for forgiveness!"
The rest of the dragoons also withdrew their weapons, lifted the state of confrontation, and clenched their fists to accuse Zhang Xutuo.
Zhang Xutuo feigned anger, and after reprimanding Zhang Xu and them, he successfully brought the most powerful dragoon under his command.
