Chapter Eighty-Nine: Buying and Selling
The two sides were entangled together in an instant, but under this kind of entanglement, the soldiers and horses of Cheng Liu and others, who originally belonged to the dominant side, did not give full play to their advantages, and the two sides continued to stalemate.
Cheng Liu continued to shoot, still dragging the hunter, looking like he was up and down, but after being hit in the ribs before, Cheng Liu found that his breath had been disordered, and it was difficult to adjust it again, and he was just barely supporting it at this time.
The hunter, on the other hand, was getting faster and faster, catching his weaknesses several times in a row, further extending his advantage.
Fortunately, Xia Cicada and Sweet Potato first dealt with the soldiers and horses that rushed out of the woods, and handed over the rest to the servants, who dealt with the hunter wholeheartedly.
As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, even if this person is very powerful, but in the face of this situation, there is still no way to maintain the upper hand, and after a while, he gradually loses the initiative.
Seeing that he couldn't beat him, he wanted to smear oil on the soles of his feet and slip away, but Wei Yan directly led people to form an encirclement and sandwiched him in the middle.
"Still want to run?"
Cheng Liu gasped, covered his chest with his right hand, and looked at him coldly.
"I think you guessed my identity, but what? I can't ask the answer you want from my mouth, even if you take it away, it's like a corpse, if you have the ability to kill me today, otherwise, I'll just leave. ”
This person's tone was not small, but Cheng Liu knew that he was not joking.
It is obviously a little difficult to catch the live mouth, and fighting in the snow is not a matter of having a numerical advantage, but the ability to control the terrain after drilling into the jungle.
Looking at his confident appearance, you can see that he is obviously extremely familiar with the terrain here, and it is obviously not so simple to catch him.
After being silent for a while, Cheng Liu finally spoke: "Let's make a deal." ”
"Buying and selling?"
The hunter repeated, and suddenly sneered: "What kind of deal can you do with me, a Xiqiang secret agent?" Exchange of information? ”
Cheng Liu also laughed and said: "Xiqiang Taoguang has been in obscurity for so long, seeing the turmoil of the Yellow Turban Thieves, if you want to seize this opportunity, is it enough to just take a Liangzhou?" Or is the person in your high position only as ambitious as a state or county? ”
The man had a calm face and did not reply immediately.
"The conditions I exchanged are very simple, the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou are guarding the natural danger, you want to attack it, at least it is unlikely in this winter, but I can take the soldiers and horses to take the fortress of the Western Front, which is almost all of our soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, if you have the opportunity to take us, not only Liangzhou, Jizhou, which continues to be turbulent north of Liangzhou, and even Jingzhou and Yangzhou, which continue to go south, will open a road, and before the Han family reacts, unite the Yellow Turban Army and march all the way."
This person finally reacted, and the deal was clear on the battlefield, and they directly gave up the fortress on the western front to Cheng Liu, and then they sent troops to retake the fortress, taking this opportunity to go north or south.
It may sound tempting, but this man is not fooled.
"The western front of Liangzhou has been abandoned, and even the fortifications are not wanted, and they directly retreat to Jincheng, at this time, if we give up the fortress again, won't it be a gap for you to advance with your troops? Let's not talk about whether you have the strength to break through the eastern defense line of Xiqiang, your western front in Liangzhou is at least back, for me, is this a deal? ”
Cheng Liu rubbed his hands and replied seriously: "But if you don't agree, it's really useless for me to keep your life." Although there are only a few dozen of my subordinates, each of them is equipped with high-precision crossbow arrows, and it is not difficult to pierce the heart with an arrow within a hundred steps, you are now isolated and helpless, and the hooks of the entire Jincheng are like ornaments when you die here, and after I take over the military power, the first thing I will do is to pull out your hooks. ”
"They still have a lot of information that they haven't sent, right? After the heavy snow closed the mountain, even your Xiqiang court acquiesced that they were a corpse, I just let them die happily, but if you die today, they will have no way back. ”
"I can give you a stick of incense to think about, if you obediently cooperate with me and take the initiative to let go of the fortress, after our garrison enters, the first goal is to get the northwest defense line back, as for your hook, what is the purpose of staying in Jincheng, it has nothing to do with me."
This remark was obviously very straightforward, the man just stared at Cheng Liu with cold eyes, and the latter rubbed his hands again, seemed to feel a little cold, and returned to the carriage.
In addition to the sweet potato keeping up, Jiang Xue and Xia Chan were still staring at the man.
There is Wei Yan guarding the back road, so there is no need to worry too much about it.
Sweet potato asked in a low voice, "Childe, are you okay?" ”
Cheng Liu shook his head, unbuttoned his collar, and looked in the direction of the Ouroboros, where a piece in the middle had turned blue and purple, as if it had been suppressed by something.
The closer he got to Xiqiang, the more uncomfortable he felt on his body, at first he just thought that the cold relationship caused the heat of the Ouroboros to not be able to dissipate, so he was uncomfortable, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Is there anything in Xiqiang that inhibits the Ouroboros? Cheng Liu's brain was very big, and he began to think about things that were wild.
After waiting for a while, Sweet Potato heard Cheng Liu speak: "I thought about it carefully just now, the Western Front is important, but if we directly sneak up and take the fortress, if Xiqiang suddenly counterattacks, our way back to Jincheng has been blocked by heavy snow, and we can only face them head-on, in this case, the chance of winning is less than thirty percent." ”
"But if they take the initiative to give up, and thousands of soldiers and horses in Liangzhou are directly stationed in it, there must not be many soldiers and horses left in the eastern defense line of Xiqiang, if you still want to bite the bullet and eat the fortress on the western front of Liangzhou, I am confident that I can take this opportunity to directly break through their eastern defense line and take back all the passes in the eastern part of Xiqiang."
Sweet Potato said with a slight worry: "But, Childe, the risk of doing this is too great, can this person be trusted?" Judging by his strength, he should be the head of the Jincheng spy network. ”
"We still don't know how big the Xiqiang spy network is in the city, but it must be not small, let go of such a dangerous person, will he obediently obey our orders?"
Cheng Liu smiled: "This can't help him, this next way, we have to let him go with us, before arriving in Jincheng, the list of all hooks must be listed, I can not kill them for the time being, he also has a chance to withdraw people in the gap between my attack on the Western Front, if you don't believe me, he will die in vain today." ”
Sweet potato smiled a little helplessly, Cheng Liu did this, just to see that it is not easy to establish a spy network, a character like that hunter must regard this as more important than life.
