Seeing the shocked appearance of the two, Wu De's face did not change and said: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to catch Zhang Twelve, there is no need to fight hard, then there will be casualties after all!" ”

"Don't hit it hard? So how can you catch him? ”

Listening to Wu De's words, Liu Zhengdao was stunned.

As a military general, in his understanding, there seems to be no other gentle way to catch people except hands!

And this man said that he would not be tough on the hard, isn't this nonsense!

Who knows, Wu De then said: "Zhang Twelve started from Jinling and went all the way north, he was bound to be blocked by the guards of various cities, and their speed would definitely not be fast!"

And once Zhang Twelve leaves Jinling City, then Jinling City will be empty and abnormal, if you take this opportunity, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will lead troops into the palace, and he will definitely be able to take Jinling City!

And Zhang Twelve's family and his women are all living in Jinling City, and when the time comes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will send someone to take them down, and the old man doesn't believe that Zhang Twelve will not come back! ”

Hearing this, Wu Yingquan and Liu Zhengdao both came to their senses!

It turns out that this is for them to take hostages!

Although this method is not very glamorous, I have to say, this method definitely works!

And compared with the head-on collision, this method is indeed much gentler, especially a military general like Liu Zhengdao, who has seen too many life and death on the battlefield, as long as the matter can be solved, of course, it is the best with the least casualties!

When the time comes, take Zhang Twelve's relatives as hostages, presumably that guy will obediently obey!

"Thank you for the reminder! Then we will go all the way south from the Yunling River to Jinling, take Jinling, and then force Zhang Twelve to submit! ”

Wu Yingquan, who figured out the key, said with a fist at Wu De.

Seeing this, Wu De nodded very happily, it seems that this guy has finally opened up something!

"I hope that Your Highness will be able to win this southward journey, and when the time comes, Your Majesty will definitely hold a banquet and celebrate His Highness's triumph!"

"Oh?"

As soon as Wu De's voice fell, Wu Yingquan became interested.

Although he thinks highly of himself, he also knows very well that no matter how powerful he is or how cowish he feels, he is just a prince.

And although Tang Yizhi is the same age as him - to be precise, he is a few years younger than him, but fortunately, he is the king of a country!

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty specially set up a banquet for himself, which sounds a bit absurd!

"How can this palace be, how can His Majesty the Tang Emperor personally set up a banquet to invite him?"

Wu De listened, "hehe" smiled and said: "Your Highness doesn't need to be arrogant!" The old man has also heard about the recent events in the court of Wu State, and he can also understand His Highness's mood of wanting to ascend to the throne! And this time to come to Datang to arrest Zhang Twelve, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for His Royal Highness!

As long as His Royal Highness goes south smoothly and takes down Zhang Twelve, the old man believes that the emperor of Wu belongs to His Royal Highness!

Moreover, since ancient times, the choice of the prince and the battle for the throne are not just the eldest son and the crown prince! For example, our Datang, although everyone thought that King Xiang was better than our Majesty, but what was the result?

So it can only be said that the destiny of heaven cannot be violated! The eldest son is the crown prince, and the crown prince is the emperor, this is an eternal truth!

And how similar is the experience of our majesty and His Royal Highness, and he also has a feeling of sympathy with His Royal Highness in the dark, so he is extremely optimistic that His Highness will go south to Jinling to take down Zhang Twelve, and then the class teacher will return to Yingdu, and finally win the battle for the prince! ”

Wu De's words are heartfelt.

Because when he thought about it, he really hoped that Wu Yingquan in front of him could successfully become the emperor of Wu!

After all, if such an unreliable person became the emperor of Wu State, the threat to the Tang Dynasty would be minimized!

And Wu De's words undoubtedly made Wu Yingquan find a long-lost sense of recognition, and he was even more enthusiastic when he listened, if it weren't for his identity, he couldn't wait to call Wu De a brother now!

The person in front of him knows himself too well!

I am not for Emperor Wu, who can be for Emperor Wu?

So he took Wu De's hand and said enthusiastically: "Thank you, Lord for speaking up!" And also borrowed the auspicious words of the adult, this time the south is determined to win Zhang Twelve! At the same time, I would also like to thank His Majesty Emperor Tang for his trust and support to this palace!

The palace promised that as long as the palace returned to Yingdu smoothly this time, won the battle for the prince, and was elected emperor of Wu, the palace would definitely reconcile with the Tang Dynasty and never go to war again! ”

Wu De just laughed when he heard this, but he was thinking in his heart, just by you, even if you want to start a war against Datang?

The Tang Dynasty is afraid of Emperor Wu and the third prince Wu Yingqiu, but he is not afraid of you Wu Yingquan!

Even if you really want to start a war against the Tang Dynasty, it will only accelerate the demise of the Wu Kingdom!

At this time, a trace of fish belly white has risen in the eastern sky, and the rising morning sun has also slowly risen from the east, sprinkling a gentle light.

Seeing this, Wu De didn't want to stay any longer.

So he bowed his hand to Wu Yingquan and said: "I wish Your Highness a victory!" It's not too early, so the old man will retire first! ”

"Good!"

As soon as Wu Huanquan said "yes", he was stunned to see the scene in front of him!

It turned out that as soon as his voice fell, the black shadow that was still standing alive in front of him just now disappeared out of thin air with a "swish"!

It was so fast that he didn't even have the slightest sense!

And there were many people in the barracks who saw the black shadow in front of Wu Huanquan, but in the same blink of an eye, the black shadow disappeared.

They were also shocked, and they stretched their eyes and looked at the Jingzhou city wall a mile away, and at this time, they saw a black image sweeping towards it like a wind!

This time, Duo'er's kung fu had already reached the city wall of Jingzhou, and then in the blink of an eye, the black shadow actually rose out of thin air and jumped onto the city wall!

The next moment, the black shadow did not stop, and disappeared directly on the city wall!

What a great man!

This is the only thought in everyone's hearts after watching the performance of the black shadow.

And Wu Yingquan is even more so, such a powerful person thinks that he can be elected as the emperor of Wu, so what is impossible?

While feeling happy in his heart, he was also thinking that Datang was really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, with the skills of the person just now, it was not difficult for him to take someone's head thousands of miles away.

So this kind of person, fortunately, is not an enemy!

Even if he becomes the emperor, he can't easily become an enemy of the Tang Dynasty!

If this kind of person makes a move, how can he still run?

However, he was a little worried, after all, there were not many people like Wu De, and Wu Guo also had such a skilled grandmaster.

If the two countries really go to war, the grandmaster is generally not allowed to join the battlefield, which will greatly disrupt the balance between the two countries, if one side does not abide by this rule, then the other side will no longer need to obey it.

Anyway, grandmaster-level masters are not only in Datang, but also in Wu Guo!

And Liu Zhengdao watched Wu De's back disappear on the Jingzhou city wall, and then said to Wu Huanquan with some worry: "Your Highness, that person just now is extremely suspicious!" ”

"How suspicious?"

Hearing Liu Zhengdao's words, Wu Yingquan's brows instantly furrowed.

You must know that he has a good impression of Wu De, after all, people boasted about him just now, and they are extremely optimistic that he can be elected as the next emperor of Wu State, which is a treatment he has never enjoyed before!

Now that some people say that he is not good, isn't they slandering Wu De's vision of others, and they are slandering themselves?

Wu Huan is omnipotent and has a good face, so is it strange?

In fact, Liu Zhengdao still agreed with Wu De at the beginning.

After all, Wu De provided them with great convenience for this trip, not only got them tokens and edicts, so that they could be unimpeded in the southern cities of the Tang Dynasty, but also provided them with suggestions on how to capture Zhang Twelve, so that their actions would be more perfect!

But it was precisely because of this that he began to doubt Wu De!

According to what Wu De said, Zhang Twelve rebelled in Jinling, and went all the way north, and wanted to kill Jingzhou, which is undoubtedly a great rebellion, and it is not allowed anywhere!

So it stands to reason that Zhang Twelve released a rumor to kill Jingzhou and even the moment he just rebelled in Jinling, the Tang Dynasty should have raised troops to suppress it!

Not to mention how powerful Zhang Twelve is, how powerful he is, as a veteran who has fought on the battlefield for many years, Liu Zhengdao knows that in the face of absolute strength, everything else is in vain!

What's more, if Zhang Twelve wants to deal with a whole country with one person, isn't that just a mantis arm as a car?

In front of the state apparatus, a person still seems too small!

However, here's where things are to blame.

Why did Datang delay in moving troops?

And it seems that Zhang Twelve's rebellion and rebellion are not even known to all cities in Datang!

The reason why Liu Zhengdao thinks so is because they have done their homework in advance before coming to Datang, and they have also found out the bottom, if this matter has spread a long time ago, then they must have known before they came to Datang!

And they were also notified of this by the black shadow, and the black shadow represented the Tang royal family, the Tang royal family did not take any measures against such a rebel, but wanted to pretend to be their hands, which is a little unreasonable anyway!

So Liu Zhengdao said the doubts in his heart, saying that he suspected that the idea of the black shadow just now to let them go south to arrest Zhang Twelve was explosive, so he had to be careful!

Who knows, Wu Huanquan listened to his words and showed a very disdainful smile.

He doesn't have much affection for this Liu Zhengdao!

He's stupid, but he's not entirely stupid!

It turned out that it was his third brother Wu Yingqiu who led the troops out to fight, so he couldn't be more familiar with the troops at all levels of Wu and those generals, such as Liu Zhengdao in front of him, he must have been with Wu Yingqiu for a lot of time, and it is not surprising that he is biased towards Wu Yingqiu.

Now that his situation is very good, there are signs that he can become the emperor if he wins Zhang Twelve, but Liu Zhengdao said something suspicious, hoping to use this reason to block his progress.

This, how is this possible?

This is obviously trying to pit yourself!

However, this point really wronged Liu Zhengdao.

Military generals are generally synonymous with loyalty and uprightness, and Liu Zhengdao is no exception.

Although he did prefer Wu Yingqiu in his heart, when he was leading troops, he obeyed the orders of his superiors, and he also thought about how to protect the army to the maximum, so he brought up what he felt suspicious.

Although the black shadow just now had been guiding Wu Yingquan in the direction of the battle for the throne, which made him very uncomfortable, he had not expressed his stance on this once.

So Wu Yingquan's suspicion really wronged him.

Wu Huanquan sneered, then glanced at Liu Zhengdao coldly and said, "General Liu, you are not young at this age, and you have been fighting for many years, why are you so bold that you are getting smaller and smaller?" And how can you not even see through something? ”

"Your Highness, the last general ......"

Liu Zhengdao wanted to say more, but was rudely interrupted by Wu Yingquan: "Don't mention this matter again!" Since this palace has been ordered to arrest Zhang Twelve, he will definitely bring him back to Yingdu, so no one should persuade me!

How good was that lord to us just now, not only gave us the token edict, but also gave us a strategy on how to get Zhang Twelve without casualties, let me ask General Liu, can you do it?

If you are asked to do it, I am afraid that you will drag these officers and soldiers to death again! ”

"The Last General ......"

At this time, Liu Zhengdao was said to have a red face and a thick neck, the key is that he has no room for refutation, because as long as there is a war, there will definitely be casualties, which cannot be avoided.

But why did Wu Huanquan say that he was dragging the officers and soldiers to death?

As a general of the first army, the last thing he wants is to let all his soldiers come back alive, okay?

"Alright, don't say any more! If you are afraid, then this palace can let you go, and it will not cure your sin! If you don't leave, then stay with me honestly in the barracks, and don't say anything like the one that shook the morale of the army just now, otherwise don't blame this palace for your crimes! ”

“………………”

At this point, Liu Zhengdao really has nothing to say, and he is not a person who retreats from battle, just reminded Wu Huanquan, since Wu Huanquan didn't listen, it doesn't seem to be incomprehensible.

After all, he is the crown prince, he is just a little general, so it's strange to listen to him!

"Your Highness, the last general was just a little worried just now, since His Highness is full of confidence, the last general doesn't dare to say a word more! No matter what you do in the future, you should obey all the orders of Your Highness! ”

At this time, Liu Zhengdao had already succumbed.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to say that the thing that the black shadow described for them just now made him feel that it was a very easy thing to catch Zhang Twelve.

And once Zhang Twelve is caught, Wu Yingquan will be the most powerful contender for Emperor Wu, and once he really ascends the throne, he will have to make a living under his men in the future.

At this time, you must not offend him!

After listening to Liu Zhengdao, Wu Huanquan was proud for a while, thinking that this guy was finally on the right path, so he looked at the other officers and soldiers and said, "This palace asks you, are you willing to go south to Jinling with me and capture Zhang Twelve alive?" ”

"Yes!"

The officers and soldiers were not like Liu Zhengdao, as soon as Wu Huanquan spoke, they responded positively.

What are you kidding, the future emperor of Wu, of course you have to follow!

Wu Huanquan was overjoyed when he saw it, and waved his big hand and said, "Okay, then go south to Jinling with the palace!" ”

"Go south to Jinling!"

Suddenly, a loud voice echoed one mile away from the Jingzhou city wall............
