Chapter 219: Ambition
Personnel changes, after the big businessman Ma collectively had a meal, he went out of the south gate of Bamai City under the leadership of Dulong, and when he left, he didn't greet anyone.
And the Suzhou generals, who had already received the news, were standing on the city wall at this moment, looking at the team of Haohao Tangtang in the distance, and their eyes flashed with surprise.
"General Dulong, why did you leave in a hurry?" Although he was very happy in his heart, he still put on a regretful look on his face, this person was the main general of Suzhou this time, Wu Zun.
Dulong has already learned from this smiling tiger, and has already suffered a lot of losses in his hands, if it weren't for his strong strength, now Bamai City is already in Suzhou's bag. "Don't worry about General Wu, I just received an order to go to the rear to meet the Lord, so I said goodbye."
It seems to be the habit of a long-dyed businessman, Wu Zun showed the pride of a big businessman in his gestures, and waved his hand: "General Dulong, although there has been friction between the two armies in the past two days, the friendship between the two sides cannot be denied. Come on, take Suzhou's specialty preserved fruits and 100,000 silver coins, and reward the tiger benders of the big merchants with me! ”
The soldiers behind Wu Zun moved when they heard this, and these soldiers with shiny armor walked over majestically, carrying in their hands exactly what Wu Zun had sacrificed to the army.
In Liu Gan's absence, Dulong gave an order, took these gifts, and thanked Wu Zun: "Thank you General Wu for your generous gift, if we have the opportunity in the future, we will definitely not get drunk!" ”
"Definitely, definitely!" Wu Zun did not avoid Dulong's palm at all, and after grinning his teeth, he put on a standard smile: "General Dulong's trip is high and long, forgive me for being busy with business, and I can't send it far." ”
"No need, General Wu stays!" Dulong did not doubt him, laughed three times, and quickly left with the finishing soldiers.
Wu Zun looked at the departing Dulong, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but there seemed to be a hint of mockery?
"General, why do you want to give a gift to that foolish general?" The soldiers behind Wu Zun were puzzled.
Hearing this, Wu Zun glanced at the soldiers behind him, shook his head and smiled: "This is not an ordinary gift, this big gift, but it will cost people's lives!" ”
…………
The army left Bamai City less than ten miles, and they encountered no less than three waves of scattered Luoyang soldiers one after another, and even Dulong, who had a low consciousness, understood that this time Luoyang was probably really not at ease.
The movement of the 50,000 army is naturally not something that can be concealed, so along the way, Dulong ordered loudly: "Hurry up, hurry up, the Lord is about to arrive, if we go late, what face will we have to see the Lord." Speed, all of them are mentioned to me, and those who fall behind will be directly eliminated from the big merchant army and exempted from all welfare systems! ”
As a result, the news of the departure of the Great Merchant Army soon spread.
…………
In the White Elephant City, the swordsman stood beside Chang Zhi and watched Chang Zhi stare at the letterhead in front of him.
"Let's go down." The situation in Luoyang at this time was very good, and under the surprise attack, he went directly into the hinterland of the Dragon Palace, and took six big cities in a row, and the White Elephant City at his feet was one of the first to get.
Clearly feeling Chang Zhi's distraction, the swordsman said, "What's the matter, what's going on?" ”
Rubbing his brows, Chang Zhi handed the letterhead back: "You can understand it by looking at it yourself." ”
Taking the letterhead and sweeping it at a glance, the swordsman understood what Chang Zhi was worried about. Now things are exactly as I expected, and even more smoothly. Long Yu's army of two million people has not even seen a shadow now. On the other side, Zhuge San was desperately trying to preserve his strength, not resisting Luoyang at all, and strictly implementing the plan of exchanging space for time.
The news on the letterhead was the news that the Great Merchant Army had left Bamai City a day ago. It is very clear that the two sides of the stalemate suddenly reconciled, and the big merchant army retreated in a hurry.
The swordsman sneered, lit the letter in his hand on the oil lamp beside him, watched the fire start, and then threw the burning letterhead on the ground.
"What, just this bit of bad news worries you?" In front of Chang Zhi, the swordsman did not have to be deliberately restrained, but seemed a little wild.
And this wildness, in the eyes of Chang Zhi, who admires the talent of a swordsman very much, is the bearing that a madman should have. Not only is he not angry, but he is very optimistic about this. Chang Zhi is no longer the young man who yelled at the slightest disobedience, since he took charge of this army, he has been thinking about how to manage the army all the time. Nowadays, he has a lot of experience and has a lot of shallow city.
"But the departure of the big merchant is not the situation we expected, and, looking at the situation, that one will come back soon." Chang Zhi was still in front of the swordsman, still his original temperament, and he expressed the worries in his heart without any scruples.
The swordsman smiled: "The general is outside, the military order is not subject to it, can he come, can't we leave?" The swordsman paced in front of Chang Zhi and deliberately showed him his smile: "As for the big businessman, it's just a clown." In front of an army of 600,000, what can he do with his little strength? ”
Without waiting for Chang Zhi to respond, the swordsman turned his back and Shi Shiran said: "The hard battle that was expected at the beginning is now an unprecedented victory!" Where is the two million army that came out of the Dragon Palace? Not even a shadow! Did you and I ever expect this? But the facts are in front of you, six big cities, only three days to take, these, you have not paid for action, can you believe it? ”
As he spoke, the swordsman became more and more crazy: "This is the opportunity that God has given us, we have waited so long, watching them jump off the beam clown for all these years, shouldn't we let us also appear on the stage?" Let these paper tigers meet the real king of beasts! ”
In the end, the swordsman punched the table in front of Chang Zhi, startling Chang Zhi who was distracted.
Although I felt that there was something wrong with the swordsman's words, but now, I have opened the bow and there is no turning back, so I can only go all the way to the dark.
"So, what do you think?"
"How?" The swordsman's enthusiasm cooled down slightly, and then he said in a gloomy tone: "I remember, in the rear, there is still an elite army, right?" ”
Hearing this, Chang Zhi broke out in a cold sweat: "Could it be that you are talking about Marshal Zhang Rang's personal guards?" ”
The swordsman shook his head gently: "Luoyang is now only one marshal, as for those elites, they are not only Zhang Rang's personal guards, but also soldiers of the empire!" As long as your Tiger Talisman is out, no one will be able to resist the order! ”
"But doing so will cause Uncle Zhang and Nameless to have a misunderstanding." Chang Zhi hesitated in his heart, and resounded about Zhang Rang's cultivation of himself in the past.
The swordsman shook his head again: "Between countries, what is particular is always interests, and it is only natural that they can take advantage of the other party's unpreparedness to exchange for a huge sacrifice on the other side at a small price!" As for the so-called misunderstanding, this is not a misunderstanding at all, Zhang Rang and Nameless, but there has always been a contradiction. ”
As he spoke, the swordsman had a hint of hatred in his eyes and told the past of Jigong Mountain. Chang Zhi has experienced most of these things personally, and he can also see that the swordsman's words do not seem to be false. And when he heard that the nameless Yanling chivalrous was captured, Chang Zhi's eyes radiated a light of hatred and hatred.
This nameless is really hateful! If you can take this opportunity to punish him, it is undoubtedly the best choice.
Uncle Zhang Rang, if you are in my current position, you can also understand my current choice!
There was no longer any doubt in Chang Zhi's eyes, and he returned to his previous arrogance of looking down on the world. He called in the herald, passed down the tiger talisman, whispered beside him, and sent it out. Then, four or five orders spread from the City Lord's Mansion to all directions like arrows.
The swordsman watched all this with great satisfaction, things happened exactly according to his vision, as long as the dragon was destroyed, then his chance would come!
At this time, someone rushed in.
"Report! There are brutes outside the city! ”
"Barbarians?" Chang Zhi smiled disdainfully: "With his tens of thousands of horses, do you still want to turn over the flowers?" ”
The herald continued: "According to the information sent back by the generals on the front line, there is also the new barbarian king of the barbarian clan who came this time, and it is rumored that this barbarian king is very likely to be a super master of the seventh order. ”
Hearing this, Chang Zhi's face changed, Seventh Order, this is no longer something that the army can control, if the other party wants to take the head of a general in a million army, then it is as simple as probing for things. Don't look at the fact that you now have the strength of the fifth order, in front of the strong people of the seventh order, you have no ability to resist at all!
"What should I do?" Chang Zhi's first thought was to retreat.
However, at this time, the swordsman stopped him and said, "Marshal, now is not the time to retreat, the morale of the army is high, and if the commander escapes from the battle, it will greatly affect the morale." ”
Chang Zhi made a bitter face and said: "It's not that I don't want to stay, it's really that if the other party wants to kill me, it's too simple, a living coach is better than a dead corpse, right?" ”
Seeing that Chang Zhi wanted to retreat, the swordsman hurriedly said: "Don't panic, to deal with a master of this level, Zhang Rang has already passed down the formation, as long as you don't go out of the big formation, the barbarian king can't help you." ”
But Chang Zhi obviously wouldn't believe it, he shook his head and said, "Generally, Heaven Rank powerhouses are very little affected by the formation, let alone the Seventh Order, which is close to the God Rank!" If Zhang Rang is here, he may be able to rely on the army to fight, but if he is not there, who can guarantee that nothing will happen! "For the formation, Chang Zhi can't say that he doesn't know anything, but with his opinion, he can't do it like Zhang Rang, let alone add luck to it.
The swordsman sees that something big is about to happen, how can he end up without a problem because of this! He shouted: "I'll pretend to be a marshal, the marshal can watch the battle in the army, and if you have any instructions, it's not too late to pass them on to me!" ”
Chang Zhi also knew that this kind of fact of escaping from the battle was not glorious, but if he was still the young man who had to fight to the death as soon as his blood came up, he would not have had the opportunity to speak here for a long time, let alone become the head of the three armies? Therefore, only by surviving can he have a chance, this is his criterion.
"Are you sure you want to?" And as soon as the swordsman said this, his mind was activated, and he was no longer worried about his life, so this battle naturally could not be without him. After thinking about it for a while, if today's events are spread out and I am not there, then even if I live, I am afraid it will be difficult to have a bright future. And if you are present, then you can explain: the gentleman does not stand under the wall, his life is in danger, and he naturally has a clever plan of Li Daitao, which can not only cover up his own embarrassment, but also set off his resourceful image.
Chang Zhi's heart twisted and turned, the swordsman saw it at a glance, sneered in his heart, but there was a word of gratitude on his lips: "Thanks to the marshal's affordability, the swordsman can go all the way to this point under the protection of the marshal." As the so-called lord humiliates the minister to death, although the marshal regards me as a brother, I never dare to call the marshal a brother, in my heart, I have always regarded the marshal as the lord. Now, the Lord's life is in danger, and if I don't stand up again, who else can share the worries of the marshal. ”
made a generous statement, and Chang Zhi was moved by what he said: "You are my brother, closer than my own brother!" After today's incident, I will marry you Jin Lan and publicize this matter widely, so that everyone will know that I always have a good brother like you, a swordsman! ”
The swordsman said: "The barbarians have always been lowly powerful, and now they have a powerful new king, and they must be narrow-minded. If we use it well, I am afraid that we will be able to turn this hostile force into our help! ”
Chang Zhi has always admired the swordsman, and now the swordsman's words have made him think three points higher. Originally, his ideal was just a martial artist, charging into battle with his soldiers, but with such a scheming brain, it is not impossible to become a marshal of the empire!
Chang Zhi, who felt that he had considerable strength, had greater ambitions in just a while. At the same time, the last trace of guilt in his heart is gone: the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach, this is the wise saying, today, the nephew will come from behind!
…………
Just when Chang Zhi had a new consciousness, Zhang Rang, who he was thinking about, was accompanied by Liu Gan and came to the front line.
This time, Liu Qian brought 50,000 elites, accompanied by Kong Ning, madmen, monks and others, and there were two beauties by his side, Su Yuner and Su Xueyan, and it was the time to be in high spirits.
And Zhang Rang beside him, accompanied by Zhan Feng and other generals, took the three hundred heavenly rank masters when he came, attached to Liu Gan's army, and went to the front line Huajian City.
It is worth mentioning that on his last trip to the Heavenly Palace, Liu Qian gained a lot, and his net worth was directly rich. And Zhang Rang, who was invited to go with him, gained a lot of money, although it was not as good as the wealth that Liu Gan got to directly benefit, but it did benefit him a lot. This trip, when the temple was capped, he experienced it for ten days, and finally had an epiphany, feeling that his understanding of the formation had strengthened by three points.
Coincidentally, on the way back to Yecheng with Su Yun'er and Su Xueyan, Liu Gan met these people, and their purpose was the same as Liu Gan's. It turned out that Zhang Rang wanted to take his men down to thank Liu Gan, although the formation was comprehended by himself, but without Liu Gan's help, he might not have such an opportunity in his life.
So, a group of people met by such a coincidence.
Subsequently, Liu Gan simply walked with Zhang Rang all the way, led the army, and went to Huajian City.
