Chapter 157: Surprise
Fang Bei stood in the audience, with only one thought in his head.
That is, Wang Zhi is not pretending, and he is going to have a showdown.
Maybe according to Wang Zhi's original idea, he still wants to build a high wall and accumulate grain on such a wave, with Wang Zhi's character, he has no reason not to know that negotiating a deal with the court is to seek skin with the tiger, but he really did it, more to buy time for himself, and paralyze the court by the way.
It's like saying that there is a reason that I am a traditional man, so I appreciate the traditional virtue of having three wives and four concubines.
In the traditional concept of China, everything is inferior, and the only way to be an official is to be a high-ranking official.
After all, the purpose of reading is to be an official, and if you can't become an official by reading, then I'm afraid there won't be so many people who love to read.
And the biggest official in the world is the emperor, and there are few people who don't want to be the emperor, so the people who become the emperor will impose so many restrictions and punishments on those who want to be the emperor.
But you can't even sit in that seat until you get to your house.
No matter what Wang Zhi's original purpose was, but now, Wang Zhi's choice is the best choice.
He exposed his martial arts, exposed his strength, and exposed his ambitions, since it is difficult to ride a tiger like this, it is better to only have to climb the heights and shout.
After all, in today's world, he is indeed the most powerful person to be the emperor.
Listening to Wang Zhi's words, Guang Jiqi's expression changed.
Although he understands Wang Zhi's ambition, he understands that Wang Zhi makes his ambition public at this time, which means that there is no room for compromise and retreat.
He stepped back quietly, his hand tugging at Fang Bie's sleeve.
"Brother Fang, help me get out of here, we need to gather troops as soon as possible and wipe out Wang Zhi."
"The evidence of the crime is now completely conclusive."
The greatest sin in the world is not as great as the sin of rebellion.
After all, the Danshu iron coupon can avoid the death penalty.
But the only thing that is inevitable is the great sin of rebellion.
Fang Bei shook his head and did not move with Guang Jiqi.
"What you thought of, Hu Beizong should have thought of it, today's situation has reached this point, and then it depends on the fighting methods on both sides."
Guang Jiqi glanced at Fang Bei, and finally nodded silently.
Yes, the situation today has reached a point where once the wheel of history begins to turn, it is beyond the power of an individual to influence it.
And at this time, outside the big tent, a huge cannon suddenly sounded.
The loud tremor caused by the sound of the cannon made everyone a little unsteady on their feet.
Immediately, more cannon fire rang out.
"What's going on?" Someone immediately opened his mouth to question Wang Zhi.
And Wang Zhi looked at Hei Xue: "Your Excellency Hei Xue, this should be explained by you." ”
Hei Xue glanced at Wang Zhi a little surprised, and then nodded: "Yes, before I came, I informed the governor of Ying Tianfu and told him that we have some suspicions about you, now that you have publicly stated your ambitions, then the imperial court will also take corresponding actions." ”
"I didn't expect that you Luo Sect would follow the path of the imperial court." Wang Zhi smiled noncommittally, and didn't seem to really take this matter to heart.
"It's just each other, the enemy of our enemies, not necessarily our friends, but definitely helpers." While Hei Xue said this, the black python whip in his hand instantly ejected out, and then hooked the beam on the big tent, and then the whole person rose into the air, with the help of the black python whip, it flew over everyone as if flying, and in a blink of an eye, he came outside the big tent: "Please ask yourself for more blessings." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the big tent instantly made a mess, and some people wanted to get out, after all, under the nest, there were eggs.
Wang Zhi openly said that he had the intention of plotting against the emperor, so everyone present was a witness, and in the same way, everyone present could be an accomplice.
If it weren't for the accomplices, how could they be in this place at this time.
And Wang Zhi smiled faintly: "Don't panic, go out, and watch another big fireworks with me." ”
Saying this, Wang Zhi jumped lightly on the high platform and rose into the air, before Hei Xue left, he also needed the help of the black python whip, and Wang Zhi was directly like gliding in the air, going directly to the outside of the tent, and Luan Yunfei followed closely behind, following Wang Zhi.
Seeing that Wang Zhi was so calm, even if they said that there was still artillery fire in their ears, they couldn't help but calm down a little, and after the initial panic, the others also followed Wang Zhi out of the big tent.
I saw that it was already night at this time, and the lights on Yingtianfu City in the distance were bright, and the torches were almost hung all over the city wall of Yingtianfu, and the previous cannon sound seemed to be issued from the huge cannon on Yingtianfu.
Just because Xuanwu Lake is too close to the city wall of Yingtianfu, it is almost within the range of the cannonball.
And Wang Zhi stood by the lake, pointed to the city wall of Tianfu from a distance, and looked back at the heroes of the rivers and lakes: "I said, I want you to see a big fireworks." ”
"Let's start now."
Before Wang Zhi's words fell, they saw a firelight rising up in the sky around them, with a slight smell of gunsmoke.
Then it exploded in the air like a giant flower.
"Today, I invite you to enter Tianfu City!" Wang Zhi said with a smile, his face illuminated by the light of fireworks.
And in the next moment, ten thousand cannons roared!
No one counts exactly how many barrels roared and opened fire at that moment.
All they could feel was the roaring sound of cannons in their ears.
Tongues of fire drew a graceful arc in the night sky, with a fierce smell of death, and then crashed into the wall of Yingtianfu in the distance.
Then the sound of explosions, cries, and shouts of killing came into the ears together.
Almost everyone was stunned.
Because the development of this situation has obviously exceeded everyone's expectations, and it is completely out of control.
"You see, he really dares to attack Tianfu City." Fang Bei looked at Guang Jiqi beside him, sighed and said: "I asked Yan Jiu to simulate the siege before, but I just wanted to find out the defense rules and troop arrangements of Ying Tianfu City, and by the way, it also had the intention of paralyzing you. ”
Guang Jiqi's whole body trembled slightly: "How dare he?" ”
"How many people did he bring to dare to attack the Tianfu City Wall?"
"Who knows?" Fang Bei shook his head and said: "Wang Zhi claims to have tens of thousands of people under his command, but who knows how many he can bring over." ”
"But Wang Zhi was able to bring all kinds of firearms here unconsciously, and within the range of the Tianfu City Wall, he really didn't wronged this Wang ship owner."
"Guess." Fang Bei looked at Guang Jiqi: "Wang Zhi, can he capture this Ying Tianfu?" ”
"Since ancient times, although Ying Tianfu's city is high and deep, it can be said to be impregnable, but on the other hand, Ying Tianfu has never blocked an attack by a real army."
"As for this time, Wang Zhi is obviously prepared."
Before Fang Bei could finish speaking, he heard a loud noise in the distance, which came from the city wall.
This is not a bombardment that any cannon can cause, but under the night, under the illumination of artillery fire, everyone can clearly see that after that loud noise, a huge gap appeared in the city wall of Yingtianfu in front of them.
Guang Jiqi reacted instantly: "Wang Zhi asked people to plant explosives in advance on the city wall? How is this possible? ”
"How did he transport such a large amount of explosives into Yingtianfu, and unknowingly planted this explosive on the city wall?"
"Could it be that the people defending the city are all rice buckets?"
Fang Bei looked at the emotional Guang Jiqi and sighed: "All strong fortresses are breached from the inside, and Ying Tianfu is no exception. ”
"The southeast has been peaceful for a long time, and the military equipment is slack, so even those sixty or seventy Japanese can show off their martial arts and prestige outside Yingtianfu, but you can't help it."
"And Wang Zhi only needs to make enough money, bury it in his eyeliner, and then do a good job in handling public opinion."
"To be honest, before today, how many people would have thought that Wang Zhi would rebel?"
"Wang Zhi doesn't just want to rebel, if he reverses, it will be earth-shattering."
"To put it bluntly, his exclusive meeting is to cover up his actions of deploying troops, so that everyone thinks that this is just an ordinary gathering of rivers and lakes, and they don't take it to heart."
Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bei: "Could it be that you knew it in advance?" ”
"If you know, why don't you alert me?"
Fang Bei smiled, Fang Bei could still laugh at this time, a big reason was that it was none of his business, anyway, Guang Jiqi would never be able to laugh: "Actually, whether it is General Guang or Governor Hu, are you really defenseless?" ”
"Governor Hu even has Heixue, a member of the Luo Sect, secretly tipping off the news, and he also has the idea of encircling and annihilating Wang Zhi in one fell swoop tonight."
"This in itself is a game in which the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch in the back, that is, to see who has a bigger backstage and who prepares more surprises."
"And there is no doubt that the surprise that Wang Zhi is preparing now is bigger than all of us imagined."
Even no matter how crazy a person is, he would never have imagined that Wang Zhi would want to directly raid the entire Ying Tianfu City.
You must know that Ying Tianfu City is the central core of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the entire Jiangnan region, once it is said that Ying Tianfu is captured by Wang Zhi, then the entire southeast will be paralyzed like brain death.
At that time, Wang Zhi will be able to withdraw his hand and eat the entire Jiangnan region little by little.
When everyone thought that the southeast widows were just ringworm scabies, Wang Zhi was really able to give everyone a big surprise.
Guang Jiqi frowned, and then he looked up at Fang Bei: "May I ask if you can kill Wang Zhi here?" ”
He looked at Wang Zhi, who was quietly enjoying the fireworks by the lake, Wang Zhi was firmly in control of the development of the whole thing from beginning to end, and it could be said that Zhizhu was in his hands.
Fang Bei looked at Guang Jiqi: "Kill Wang Zhi?" Why should I kill him? And why should I kill him? ”
"He is the only sea overlord in the southeast sea, if before today, you could still think that he was just an ordinary person with no power, but after today, everyone will know that he himself is also a peerless master who has cultivated the Eight Desolations and Six Combinations."
"There are martial arts through the sky, a fierce general like a cloud, and the wealth of the enemy country, such a person, it is simply wishful thinking to kill him."
"But that's the only way to stop things from getting worse." Guang Jiqi said seriously.
He didn't think it on a whim, but realized that this was the only way to solve the situation right now.
"I have studied Wang Zhi, and his subordinates were originally a plate of loose sand, and only Wang Zhi can bridge this plate of loose sand and finally achieve today's career."
"If today's situation continues to develop, even if Wang Zhi really defeats Ying Tianfu City, I won't be too surprised, after all, he has this ability, and he has been planning for a long time."
Just as Guang Jiqi and Fang Bei were saying this, the still lively shelling on both sides had come to an end, after all, it was a one-sided crushing.
Although it is said that the caliber of the cannons defending the city of Tianfu City is larger, but the number is far less than Wang Zhi's careful preparation, and this is a battle of internal and external cooperation, and when the city wall is blown up, the officers and soldiers defending the city have suffered heavy casualties, and after the last round of artillery bombardment, the officers and soldiers defending the city are simply to the point of fleeing from the wind.
"But what happens next?" Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bei: "I don't think Wang Zhi has the ability to wave his army north, go to fight to the death with the imperial court, and fight to the death." ”
"But in the same way, when the imperial court hears this bad news, even if it wants to send heavenly soldiers to encircle and suppress it, it will take three months at the earliest."
"Attention, I'm talking about the fastest."
"After all, soldiers and horses need to be deployed, grain and grass need to be raised, this is an eventful autumn, the soldiers and horses on the border of the imperial court are not easy to use, either you can only use the three major battalions of Yanjing City, or you can only delegate power to let the provinces train and suppress bandits on their own, no matter what the result, it is not good news."
"Wang Zhi will use this time to digest the territory of this anointed land in the south of the Yangtze River, collect food and wages, and gather the source of soldiers, to be honest, Wang Zhi has a steady stream of trade income at sea, and the wealth of his enemy country is not just talking, his annual income will not even be lower than the annual tax income of the imperial court."
"At that time, the whole of Jiangnan will become a flesh mill, and everyone in it will have to endure the disaster of war."
Don't listen quietly to Guang Jiqi's words.
Although everyone understands the truth, there are few people like Guang Jiqi who are so clear.
"So you say, kill Wang Zhi, and everything can be solved?" Fang Bei asked rhetorically.
Wang Zhi is not easy to kill.
It's something that everyone knows.
And after today, it's clear that it's going to be harder to kill.
If you just say a little bit about it, you will never make a move.
That is, now Fang Bei, I don't know how strong Wang Zhi is.
But there is no doubt that Wang Zhi is definitely strong.
may not be as strong as Ning Huanqiang, but at least there is also the top 20 level of the Jianghu list.
At this level, no matter who it is, it will be very difficult to kill.
And at this time, the voice of Mrs. Zhenru sounded.
"Wang Zhi, you are trapped in a sea of suffering."
Wang Zhi turned his head and looked at Mrs. Zhenru: "Mrs. Shi, you are wrong. ”
"I am saving the people from fire and water."
