Chapter 55: Seeing You on the Battlefield (4)
"Yo, how did Liu Xuan, the underground emperor of Wancheng, fall into this field? Didn't you tell us before that Wancheng was captured? ”
In the camp of the Green Forest Army in Xinshi, Wang Kuang and Wang Feng looked Liu Xuan up and down with a sigh in their eyes, their eyes full of mockery.
The two brothers are very similar in appearance, both have a big nose, a strong body, and a face full of meat. The difference is only that the elder brother Wang Kuang is a little shorter.
After breaking away from the pursuers, Liu Xuan finally led the remaining more than 2,000 remnants of the army to Xinshi. However, the Green Forest Army under the command of Wang Feng and Wang Kuang kept their team far away from the camp gate, forbidding them to take a step forward.
Only ...... allowed Liu Xuan, with two retinues, entered the camp alone and met with Wang Kuang and Wang Feng.
"A defeat is a defeat, there's nothing to explain." Liu Jiu said coldly. Standing behind him were Liu Ji and Liu Xiu.
Wang Kuang stood up, walked around Liu Jiu back and forth, and continued to ridicule: "Hmph...... Wancheng is an important city in the world, and my two brothers have tens of thousands of soldiers, and they dare not easily try to attack the city. You have only a few thousand people on hand, how dare you be so whimsical, hahahaha! ”
Liu Jiu clenched his teeth and pressed the anger in his heart.
"I remember that you once said that when you conquered Wancheng, you would want my brother to attach to you. I'm not mistaken, Huang-Quan-of-Dragon? ”
Wang Feng also stood up, looked at Liu Jiu with a smile, and deliberately lengthened Liu Xuan's nickname at the end.
"That's right." Liu Xuan nodded.
"Then now, I wonder if Lord Liu Xuan is still willing to accept us two brothers? It's just that I'm worried that you won't be able to protect yourself! Hahahaha! Wang Feng looked up to the sky and laughed proudly.
"You two guys!"
Before Liu Ji could speak, Liu Ji, who had been standing silently behind him, finally couldn't help jumping out, glaring angrily at Wang Kuang and Wang Feng, and clenched his fists: "If you have a kind, you will humiliate my boss again!" ”
"Yo! What a backbone! Amazing, amazing! Wang Feng slapped his hands twice, and his face was full of approval: "I really didn't expect that Liu Jiu would have such a backbone character under your command!" I just don't know...... There is such a fierce general, how did he be driven out of Wancheng in a gloomy way? ”
"Liu Ji, stop it!" Liu Ji turned his head, and Sen Han's eyes glared at Liu Ji. Liu Xiu also stood up silently and pulled Liu Ji back.
was glared at fiercely by Liu Ji, and Liu Ji didn't dare to speak anymore. The humiliation of the boss made him lose his mind for a while. But now that he has calmed down, he still understands that he still needs to be protected by others, so he can only bow his head and snort sullenly.
"So, in the final analysis, you still have to come to beg us for the Green Forest Army." Wang Kuang walked in front of him from behind Liu Xuan, with a sigh in his mouth, and slapped Liu Xuan's shoulder with one hand: "Since you are asking for someone, should you have the appearance of asking for someone?" ”
Liu Xuan's face had completely changed to Tie Qing, and he stared at Wang Kuang.
"Brother......" Liu Xiu called softly behind him.
"Hurry up, Dragon of Yellow Springs! Or are you going to let you take more than 2,000 people with you to die? ”
Wang Feng hugged his arms for a long time, and looked at Liu Xuan with a smile on his face.
They were indeed ready to take this opportunity to fight a decisive battle with Wancheng's new army. But even though a decision has been made, they will not let Liu Jiu fulfill his wish so easily.
Because - status, is very important.
For three years before that, they had not attacked Wancheng.
It's not that you don't want to, but you can't.
As long as Liu Xuan is still in Wancheng for a day, they will not dare to attack for a day. Because they knew very well that Liu Jiu would never easily give Wancheng to the Green Forest Army.
Even though both sides have the same goal, to crusade against Wang Mang and overthrow the new dynasty, those who have the same goal are not necessarily like-minded comrades.
Liu Xuan occupied the underground power of Wancheng, and had the support of the clan of the former dynasty of Chungling. The Green Forest Army, on the other hand, has the advantage of strength and a small but solid territory. Although both sides want to eat each other and take the other under their command, neither can do so.
Originally, Liu Xuan had a better chance. Once Wancheng can be captured according to the original plan, it will mean that the way out of the Green Forest Army to the north will be blocked. And the rich Wancheng can provide him with sufficient money and food to expand his strength.
At that time, the Green Forest Army had no second way out except to bow down and be vassal.
But now, all has come to naught. The strategy to capture Wancheng failed, and even most of his troops were damaged. Wang Mu's army followed closely behind. Liu Xuan now has no bargaining chips to subdue the Green Forest Army.
And only ...... Become a vassal.
"It's only temporary...... Just temporary......"
Liu Xuan kept saying to himself repeatedly in his heart. However, no matter how much he tried to convince himself, Wang Kuang and Wang Feng's smug expressions were always stuck in his heart like nails.
"Please, two generals...... Accept our Chungling Army as a subordinate. My two brothers will bow down to the two generals in the future, and they will saddle up and ride behind! ”
Plop and get to your knees.
However, it was not Liu Xiu who opened his mouth and knelt down, but Liu Xiu.
"Ah Xiu!"
Liu Xiu's eyes were almost out of their sockets, full of scarlet bloodshots, staring at Liu Xiu.
"Brother......" Liu Xiu only called softly and did not continue.
But he had already conveyed everything he wanted to say to Liu Xuan.
"Wang Mang's army is in the rear, and I hope that the two generals will focus on the overall situation......" Liu Xiu gritted his teeth and kowtowed three times to Wang Kuang and Wang Feng in front of him on the ground.
Liu Xuan's teeth were about to be crushed, and his chest was about to erupt with fire, so he could only suppress the fury in his heart with the last trace of reason.
"It's just my brother...... What to do? Wang Kuang pretended to frown and looked at his younger brother Wang Feng: "It's not the same as we expected." ”
"Brother is brother...... After all, the Dragon of Huangquan and we are also old acquaintances, so let's forget it today. Wang Feng smiled yinyin: "Liu Xuan, then, from today onwards, you must obey our two brothers well!" ”
They can also see that Liu Jiu has reached the limit. If the humiliation continues, I am afraid that he will really collapse.
And Liu Xuan's skills, they naturally know very well. The two of them were able to handle it like this at the moment, but they only relied on the two thousand remnants of the Lingling army outside the barracks. If Liu Xuan was really humiliated and lost his mind, and blood was splashed for five steps, the two of them were afraid that they might not be able to survive.
"Prepare to meet the enemy...... As the saying goes, the mourning soldier wins. The Lingling army has just been newly defeated in Wancheng, which can be called a mourning soldier. So let you fight the front...... Nothing is wrong, right? Wang Kuangpi looked at Liu Xuan with a smile.
"Besides, since it's joining, you have to show a little sincerity. Otherwise...... The banner of our Green Forest Army is not so easy to borrow! Wang Feng also had the same smile on his face.
"Got it."
Liu Xiu used up his last reason, dropped the cold three words, and then reached out and pulled Liu Xiu on the ground heavily, and walked towards the outside of the tent.
"Hmph...... The dog who lost his family, what kind of shelf is there. ”
The last sentence he heard before going out once again made Liu Xuan's whole body tremble with anger.
"Ah Xiu!" Walking out of the tent, Liu Xuan finally couldn't hold back the violent emotions in his heart anymore, and roared loudly: "Why are you so groveling!! ”
"I'm sorry, brother, but ......" The night wind outside the tent brought a chill. Liu Xiu smiled bitterly: "But, if I don't do this, what can I do?" ”
Liu Jiu gritted his teeth, but didn't know how to respond.
Killed Wang Kuang and Wang Feng? With his skills, in such a small space in the tent, there is naturally no problem. But what do you get by killing them?
It is impossible for the Green Foresters to obey their orders. Even if Wang Kuang and Wang Feng were killed, they would not be able to bring this army of tens of thousands into the palm of their hands. The three of them, who were in the center of the camp, could only end up fighting to the death.
And the ending of the 2,000 remnants of the Lingling soldiers outside the camp gate can also be imagined.
Even...... Even if he is unwilling to swallow this breath and would rather exchange his life for dignity, Liu Xuan will never let his younger brother die with him.
"I know, brother, you are absolutely unwilling to kneel down to those two guys. Then for such a thing, it's just me......" Liu Xiu sighed softly: "All along, it was my brother who protected me." This time, when my brother encounters something he doesn't want to do, he finally has the opportunity for me to replace him! ”
Liu Xiu raised her face and looked at her brother, her eyes as clear as water.
Liu Xuan was silent for a moment, stretched out his hand, and gently stroked the face of his younger brother in front of him.
"Thank you, Ah Xiu......"
