Chapter 163: Chao Gai's Remorse
"Driving~"
"Driving~"
On the official road a few miles away from Bailu City, several knights rode fast horses and galloped through the night with torches in hand.
"Guys, where are you going to take me?"
On the war horse, Chao Gai reflexively looked in the direction of Bailu City, the flames were soaring into the sky, and the sound of fierce fighting was still faintly audible, and he turned his head to look at Wang Yue Wudao, who was rushing to the front of the royal horse.
Under the control of Ding Wei's troops, Wang Yue, Song Chao, Leng Jing, Zhuo Yun, and Cheng Dan successfully rescued Chao Gai, and the six of them were all martial artists above the God Refining Realm, and they took advantage of the Chaofu melee to sneak out easily.
After escaping from Chaofu quietly, Wang Yue and the others didn't say much, and ran out of the east gate with Chao Gai, and galloped along the direction of Yangshi County.
When he was out of the city just now, Chao Gai faintly saw the figure of Ding Wei and others in the chaotic battlefield, struggling to resist Geng Chengwu's department, and the situation was a little bad!
At such a critical moment, Chao Gai didn't understand why Wang Yue and the others didn't help Ding Wei, with the skills of a few people, coupled with his prestige in the Liangshan army, there may not be no hope of reversing the situation and even taking control of Bailu City in one fell swoop.
No matter how bad it is, they can also rescue Ding Wei and others.
Are they afraid that they will not be controlled after joining up with Ding Wei?
After all, he is not his own person, and Chao Gai is still a little uneasy in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that the martial arts of several people were good, Chao Gai would have turned around and left.
"Don't panic, King Chao, this time I have come to rescue the King of Heaven on the orders of the king, and I will take you to a safe place. There are still a few miles ahead of Jiuzhi Town, and Mr. Wu Yong is already waiting for the Heavenly King there! Wang Yue understood Chao Gai's worries, smiled softly when he heard this, and explained to him.
Among the five, Wang Yue has the highest martial arts skills and has followed Sima Yu for the longest time, so most of the matters are decided by Wang Yue.
"There is labor!"
Hearing Wang Yue talk about Wu Yong, Chao Gai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Wu Yong also participated in this rescue plan, and it is expected that he will not harm himself.
The group quickly galloped in the night, and after a while, they came to Jiuzhi Town, which was thirteen miles away from Bailu City.
From afar, hundreds of torches lit up the sky at the west gate of Jiuzhi Town.
In the center of the city gate, the Liangshan Army commander Zhi Duoxing Wu Yong, who was dressed in a Confucian shirt, stood in the middle of the road surrounded by several people.
"Driving~"
"Pedant!"
Seeing Wu Yong, Chao Gai was overjoyed, and he raised the reins with both hands, urging the horse to run quickly in the direction of the gate of Jiuzhi Town.
When he crossed Wang Yue and a few people, Chao Gai did not show a look on his face, but his heart was tight, and his hands were secretly accumulating, ready to deal with Wang Yue's sudden attack at any time.
However, until Chao Gai drove out ten meters away, Wang Yue and the others did not make the slightest movement, and still followed him at a uniform speed towards Jiuzhi Town.
"Pedant!"
Quickly running to the gate of Jiuzhi Town, Chao Gai, who had regained his freedom, looked at Wu Yong and was speechless for a while, and was silent for a long time before bowing to Wu Yong, and said in a low voice.
I think that when the seven brothers first arrived here, thanks to Wu Yong's strategy and Gongsun Sheng, Liu Tang and others, he Chao Gai was able to be the master of the Liangshan army, and in just one year, he quickly opened up the situation, and possessed the land of Yangshi and Bailu counties, and had no less than 100,000 naval troops under his account.
However, after occupying Bailu and Yangshi counties, Chao Gai's mind gradually deviated, and he began to indulge in the achievements of the Liangshan army, and became arrogant and suspicious.
At the beginning of the second year of the Great Controversy, in the face of Confucius, the German army and the Liangshan Army once had an absolute advantage.
At that time, the two counties of Shiji and Baisha under the command of Kong Youde were initially decided, and the army under his command was only 50,000, while the Liangshan army under Chao Gai had more than 100,000 troops.
The complacent Chao Gai did not listen to Wu Yong's suggestion to concentrate his troops, directly take Shimo County, and win a decisive victory by land, insisted on going his own way, gathered 60,000 sailors and armies, and attacked the two counties of Shimo and Baisha under the command of Kong Youde in two ways at the same time, in a vain attempt to take the two counties in one fell swoop and eliminate Kong Youde.
Who knew that the 10,000 sailors were killed in a surprise attack by the elite sailors under Kong Youde, and the elite sailors were almost lost.
After the destruction of the elite of the Liangshan Army and Naval Division, the entire river area along the Yangtze River fell into the hands of Kong Youde. Relying on the advantage on the water, Kong Youde used the cover of the sailor to lead 10,000 elites around the left side of the Liangshan Army to launch a sudden attack, Chao Gai's troops lost three games in a row, and the 30,000 Liangshan Army elites lost more than half.
At the critical moment, if it weren't for Gongsun Sheng and Liu Tang on the right to lead the troops to rescue each other, Chao Gai's department would probably be annihilated by Kong Youde.
In this battle, the vitality of the Liangshan army was greatly damaged, and the naval army was lost, and the Confucian German army was almost completely undefended along the river bank of Bailu and Yangshi counties, and the situation of the two armies was reversed.
Losing the initiative, in the subsequent battle with Kong Youde's army, Liangshan's army has been in a passive situation of being beaten and rarely wins.
After the defeat in this battle, Chao Gai felt that his prestige in the Liangshan army had plummeted, and he also became distrustful of Gongsun Sheng and Liu Tang, who did not attack Shiji County in accordance with his established policy in this battle, fearing that the prestige of the two in the army was too high and uncontrollable, and gradually began to deliberately suppress the two, and finally made Gongsun Sheng and Liu Tang with 30,000 elites of the Liangshan Army trapped in Zhongba Island.
It was under his series of stupid moves that Xue Ju was given an opportunity to take advantage of, and finally became a prisoner of the order.
Liang Shanjun can have today's situation, and the fault is almost all on him.
Therefore, now facing Wu Yong, who is still trying his best to rescue him, Chao Gai's heart is also full of remorse, and he doesn't know how to say it for a while.
"Heavenly King, no one is perfect, no one can do anything, don't feel guilty! Now is not the time for us to think about it, the top priority should be to cheer up first and find a way to hit Xue Ju, so that this rebellious thief can get the punishment he deserves."
Wu Yong had been following Chao Gai for a long time, he understood Chao Gai's feelings at this time, and stepped forward to hold Chao Gai's arm and comforted him.
"Heavenly King, this Southern King is the head of the Qilin Pavilion Du Yong Du Sect, this time the King of Heaven can be saved, thanks to the efforts of the Du Sect Head"
After some persuasion, after seeing that Chao Gai's mood had changed slightly, Wu Yongcai pointed sideways to a young man in a strange colorful costume next to him and introduced him.
This young man is none other than Du Yong, one of the leaders of the Qilin Pavilion, and the bizarre colorful costume is sewn by him according to the military uniform of the People's Liberation Army in the 21st century.
This time, in order to rescue Chao Gai, Du Yong and Wang Yue were divided into two ways, one bright and one dark, and they acted separately, and contacting Ding Wei to rebel was from Du Yong's handwriting.
"Thank you to the head of the sect for coming to the rescue!"
Hearing this, Chao Gai solemnly bowed his hand to Du Yongyi and thanked him, and his eyes couldn't help but stay on him a little longer.
Qilin Pavilion, an organization established by Sima Yu more than a year ago, appeared in front of outsiders for the first time in an official name.
"King Chao is polite, I just obeyed the king's orders, and the method was mainly thought up by Wu Junshi, and we were just running errands."
Du Yong looked Chao Gai up and down a few times, and then waved his hand a little bit.
Although Chao Gai's series of actions disappointed many people, as a modern person, Du Yong was also a little curious about this famous Chao Tianwang in the Water Margin.
"Another day, Chao Gai will go to thank His Royal Highness the King of the South!" Chao Gai once again solemnly saluted and promised.
After some introductions and greetings, Wu Yong and others took Chao Gai to Jiuzhi Town, the town was quiet, and this place had been completely occupied by Wu Yong and them two days ago.
