Chapter 158: Zhang Jilin returns
As early as the first two battles, Zhang Jilin passed a message to Nie Changfeng, and during the battle, he said in Nie Changfeng's ear: Empty city.
Although Nie Changfeng didn't react to Zhang Jilin's meaning, it didn't mean that Nie Yuan didn't know.
After Nie Changfeng came back and told Nie Yuan about this, Nie Yuan understood what Zhang Jilin meant.
Plus I received a carrier pigeon before.
Nie Yuan has always known that King Chun has their people by his side, but he doesn't know who it is, after Nie Changfeng came back and told him about it, he could completely conclude that the person around King Chun was Zhang Jirin.
Moreover, Zhang Jirin did show mercy when he fought with Nie Changfeng, otherwise, Nie Changfeng would not have only some inconsequential flesh wounds on his body when he came back.
And the empty city in Zhang Jirin's mouth is also very easy to deduce, and there is news in the carrier pigeon sent back by Zhang Jilin before that King Chun is ready to use the strategy of trapping and killing to trap the army in Chuzhou.
Although this strategy is not very good, Chuzhou will not be able to die for a while. But King Chun's method is too despicable.
Fortunately, Zhang Jilin came up with a way to deal with it, and directly asked Nie Yuan to temporarily transfer the people and grain and grass in the city, and plant explosives in the city, because most of Chuzhou City is a stone building, which is also a major feature of Chuzhou, but if King Chun breaks through Chuzhou, it will be difficult to drive him out of Guanzhong. Therefore, Chuzhou must be defended.
Because of this, it is necessary to adopt the method of destroying the city.
Introduce all the troops of King Chun into the city, close the city gates, and then burn the city.
On the city wall, Zhang Jirin and the others couldn't bear to close their eyes as they looked at the soldiers who were devouring King Chun with the raging fire below. Casualties were inevitable when the two armies fought, but they would not use such a method if they had to do so.
Especially the people below are rolling around, screaming, and the explosion is deafening, even Zhang Jilin and Nie Changfeng will not be able to sleep for several nights after today.
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, something is wrong." In King Chun's tent, spies rushed in in a panic.
"What's the matter?" King Chun was shocked, his eyelids had been jumping since this morning, but he didn't expect something to really happen.
"Lord Wang, we went to attack the people in Chuzhou, the whole army was annihilated, and Mr. Lu was killed." The person who gave the report bowed his head and his voice was sad.
"What! What's going on! King Chun's eyes widened angrily, and he took several steps backwards in succession until he reached his seat.
"What about less departure? What about Lu Shaoli? King Chun stepped forward and grabbed the person who gave the report and asked nervously.
"Lu Shaoli is a spy, he is a person from Daqi!" As soon as the words of the people below came out, King Chun felt that there was a darkness in front of him.
"What do you say! You repeat! King Chun yelled.
"Lord Wang, Lu Shaoli is a person from Daqi, Mr. Lu, he was killed by Lu Shaoli, and we have trapped nearly 100,000 people and horses in the city." The person who gave the report fell to his knees, and fell to the ground as if he had been drained of his strength.
King Chun also sat down in his seat decadently.
"What? No way! It's impossible ......," King Chun muttered to himself.
Zhang Jilin and Nie Yuan, Nie Changfeng, also left when the fire in the city was almost burning.
It is estimated that it will take a long time for the city of Chuzhou to recover, and so many people have died in it at once, even if the city is restored to its original state, there will not be so many people to live there.
Zhang Jirin sighed.
"Zhang Jilin." Nie Changfeng called Zhang Jirin from behind, and when he caught up, his hand naturally hooked Zhang Jirin's shoulder.
"Major General Nie." Zhang Jirin nodded and said hello.
"What's polite, just call me Changfeng, but it's really yours, this time King Chun estimates that his vitality will be greatly damaged." The gloating that couldn't be hidden in Nie Changfeng's tone.
"King Chun, you can't become the climate." Nie Yuan also followed from behind and said lightly.
"That's what General Nie said." Zhang Jilin nodded.
"You kid, why don't you see such politeness on the battlefield." Nie Yuan quipped.
Zhang Jirin smiled slightly, Zhang Jirin on the battlefield and Zhang Jirin in private are definitely two faces, or in other words, Zhang Jirin on the battlefield is the real Zhang Jirin. The real Zhang Jirin is definitely very spicy, black-bellied and domineering, but in front of strangers, Zhang Jirin has always been polite.
People who are not familiar with Zhang Jilin will think that Zhang Jilin is elegant and harmless, but in fact he is the most lethal, and it is precisely in this way that he has been able to lie dormant beside King Chun for so long without revealing the slightest dawn.
If it weren't for today, King Chun would probably never suspect that Zhang Jirin would betray him.
"Let's go, Ji Rin, I'll take you to meet those veterans." Nie Yuan said with a smile.
Then he took Zhang Jirin to meet several generals in the army, and everyone was very unfamiliar with Zhang Jirin. But I heard that today's Chuzhou mutiny was manipulated by Zhang Jilin, and Zhang Jirin's eyes changed again and again.
I secretly marveled in my heart that Zhang Jirin had such a means.
"Why don't you ask, why isn't General Long Aotian here?" Nie Yuan looked at Zhang Jilin and asked deliberately.
"If Ji Rin didn't guess wrong, General Long should have led a large army to attack the border of Youzhou." Zhang Jirin lowered his eyelids and said.
"How do you know?" Nie Changfeng looked surprised.
"Since King Chun's army came to Chuzhou, General Long Aotian has not shown up, no matter what, if General Long appears, it can play a role in hitting the morale of King Chun's soldiers and horses, and generally will not let go of this opportunity, but General Long Aotian still did not appear, which can only show that General Long is no longer in Chuzhou. King Chun attacked Chuzhou and went out in person, because Chuzhou is the last barrier of Daqi, the competitive King Chun of course wants to witness the breakthrough of Chuzhou, so he will definitely come to attack Chuzhou in person, at this time, King Chun's base camp Youzhou reserve is empty, so General Long should take the opportunity to attack Youzhou, so that King Chun's belly and back are subject to the enemy, so that King Chun is difficult to become a climate. Zhang Jirin said all his speculations, and after a while, Nie Changfeng looked at Zhang Jirin in admiration and clapped his hands.
Nie Yuan also nodded appreciatively.
"Not bad, not bad."
"The younger generation is ugly." Zhang Jilin said modestly.
"I didn't expect that among our people, there are such smart kids, it's really different from us rough people, hahaha." Among the generals, a man with a long beard said with a smile.
"Zhang Jirin, I heard Changfeng say that your martial arts are good, do you want to learn about it, Changfeng's kid is arrogant, I haven't heard him praise anyone, I feel itchy when he says it." The bearded man continued.
"This ......" Zhang Jirin hesitated, not that he was unwilling, but that he ......
"Since you have come back, you are no different from everyone, everyone treats you as their own brother, Lao Xie is such a character, if you want to learn from him, just accompany him to compare, if you don't want to, forget it. However, Lao Xie's big knife is indeed very powerful. Nie Yuan naturally saw Zhang Jirin's concerns.
Before this, Zhang Jilin had never appeared in front of everyone, but had been an undercover agent by King Chun's side, Nie Yuan knew that being an undercover agent was not something ordinary people could do, not only did it require superb martial arts, but also a strong psychology, so that he could collapse in front of him without changing his face.
Therefore, Zhang Jirin's personality is still a little sensitive, and he has just returned to Daqi's team, so he naturally does not want to clash with others, Nie Yuan said this, just to relieve Zhang Jirin, and also show Lao Xie's character.
"Please give me advice, General Xie." Zhang Jilin also wanted to know the strength of these people, as soon as Nie Yuan said this, there was nothing to take care of, and made a gesture of invitation to Lao Xie, and the two walked to the school field outside.
Seeing that Lao Xie was holding a big knife in his hand, Zhang Jirin did not dare to underestimate the enemy, with a spear in his hand, ready to attack.
Lao Xie clenched the big knife and rushed over, Zhang Jirin didn't dodge or dodge, and greeted him.
The spear and the knife collided, sending out violent sparks and quickly parting.
"Good boy, good strength." Lao Xie said in admiration in the gap between the fights.
"The general is gracious." Zhang Jirin looked more relaxed than Lao Xie.
The two fought for a whole hour before they dispersed, Lao Xie took more than a dozen steps back to stabilize his body, and Zhang Jirin stood still and did not move.
"I lost." Lao Xie put the big knife on his shoulder and said boldly.
"It's General Xie's mercy." Zhang Jirin smiled slightly.
"Don't say goodbye, I really can't beat you, you're just a little monster." Old Xie muttered.
He has lived for most of his life, and there are not a few battlefields on the battlefield, Zhang Jilin is really the first person he has seen who is young and has a very good martial arts strategy.
Even if Lao Xie is cooked, he is convinced.
"Lao Xie lost?"
"General Xie actually lost!"
"This Ji Rin ......"
There was a lot of talk at the bottom. Zhang Jirin was not proud of winning the game, and walked out of the school field as if nothing happened.
"Ji Rin, you really opened my eyes." Nie Yuan patted Zhang Jirin's shoulder and said.
Just now, Lao Xie wanted to compete with Zhang Jirin, and another reason why he didn't stop it was that he admired Zhang Jirin very much from the first time he saw him, it was not easy for such a young man to be not arrogant or impatient, and to lie dormant beside King Chun for so long. Ordinary young people, at Zhang Jirin's age, are in high spirits, when the young man is fresh and angry, how many can do things incognito and silently like Zhang Jirin? This is where Nie Yuan admires Zhang Jirin, so Nie Yuan deliberately let Zhang Jirin and Lao Xie compete, so that everyone can see Zhang Jirin's true strength.
Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that King Chun's anger has been exhausted, and Zhang Jilin will return to Daqi sooner or later, such a person will definitely be a generation of famous generals in the future, and Nie Yuan, who cherishes talents, naturally wants to help Zhang Jilin get off to a good start.
Lao Xie's martial arts are definitely middle-class among them, especially with a knife, those who can beat Lao Xie's big knife can count them on one finger, Zhang Jirin won Lao Xie with almost no effort, which is a shock to everyone who sees it.
"Let's drink tonight and celebrate!" Nie Yuan proposed.
The people below responded one after another, won the battle, and it was also appropriate to celebrate, as for King Chun, he should now flee everywhere with his remnants, and it is best to escape back to Youzhou, where he was blocked by General Long Aotian.
