"Join forces with them?"

I looked at Wu Jiyun in real surprise, but he nodded solemnly: "Although the coalition formed by the four protectors is huge, they are actually some rabble temporarily pulled together, the march is unlawful, and the battle is impossible, don't look at him all the way to conquer the city and be invincible, but in my eyes it is a little trouble, but if you really dare to storm the ironclad Shuofang City, I dare to guarantee that for a day at most, without the Buddha-faced Venerable opening the door to counterattack, these people will fall apart and flee for their lives." ”

I was slightly shocked when I heard this, but I still couldn't understand: "If the coalition forces are so vulnerable, why should we cooperate with him, isn't this a bit of a contradiction?" ”

Wu Jiyun shook his head: "I expected that the coalition army would not be able to shake Shuofang City, all because of the ancient good generals, the four protectors who betrayed the Buddha-faced Venerable were already embarrassed, and they didn't know anything about the art of war, I had fought with two of them, when they commanded the enemy army of 30,000, and I only had 7,000 vanguard soldiers, this was a war of annihilation with a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and me, but I never expected him to adopt the strategy of dividing the troops and besieging me, 30,000 into 6,000, divided into five ways to intercept and encircle me, However, I concentrated my forces to attack one side, and not only escaped, but also killed all 6,000 of his generals. ”

Wu Jiyun sighed when he said this: "If it weren't for the king's life at that time, I could even go back to his Chinese army tent after breaking out of the encirclement, and directly serve him even the pot, such a wretch, what kind of climate do you think he can become?" ”

I was speechless for a moment.

"And General Wu must have expected this, so he asked us to take action before the coalition siege began." Wu Jiyun said.

"Why?" I wondered.

"Because if we don't do something first, how can they easily agree to cooperate, the most important thing is that two of the four protectors have suffered in my hands, let's first set up a posture of undying with the Buddha-faced Venerable, and when the coalition forces are about to arrive, you go directly to see the four protectors, don't talk about cooperation, just tell them that Shuofang City is already under your control, and it is only a matter of time before you take the city, let them retreat."

I frowned: "Then you're not afraid that he will attack Shuofang City back and forth, cutting off your and my retreat?" ”

Wu Jiyun laughed: "Don't worry, before they take Shuofang City, they will never offend another Wu Mountain, who is now the most powerful Wu Mountain." ”

"You mean?"

Wu Jiyun nodded: "I learned from General Wu that there are very few people who know the news that I have secretly taken refuge in Princess Wushan, and the new Lord of Wushan is busy fighting for a new ferry, and the departure of a few hundred soldiers from Wu is not taken into his eyes at all, and when the news reached Wushan County, he was stopped by General Wu and deleted some of the contents, no one knows that I am currently working under your account, not to mention the four people who have been concentrating on recruiting troops and horses." ”

After listening to this, I took a deep breath, looked at Wu Jiyun in surprise and said: "General Wu, with your strategy and strength, why did you only be an inconspicuous forward general in Wushan, in my opinion, not to mention being on an equal footing with General Wu, at least being a left and right general, it should not be a problem." ”

But who knew that Wu Jiyun's face immediately sank when he heard this, and he lowered his voice and said: "It was Princess Wushan who personally appointed me as the vanguard general, and I was directly ordered by her and General Wu, and no one else is qualified to order me to do anything." ”

My heart sank, and I suddenly remembered the three people who Wei Junyao asked General Wu to go to Wushan County to find when he left the ancient road, and suddenly looked at Wu Jiyun in disbelief and said, "You are ......"

Wu Jiyun nodded: "Exactly." ”

"What about the other two?" I asked.

"I don't know." Wu Jiyun sighed: "As early as when Jiuquan Mansion suppressed Jiuquan Nine Prisons with the power of thunder, the princess expected that the peace in the ancient road would not last long, so she found me and persuaded me to give up the opportunity to compete for the general of the army, and instead appointed as the vanguard of the Zhenbei Army. There is no second choice. ”

After listening to this, I pondered for a moment: "That is, the other two, you don't even know who they are?" ”

Wu Jiyun nodded: "Exactly." ”

"Then have you ever thought about whether the two of them will also be in the Zhenbei Army, since the Zhenbei Army was newly built at that time, and you are the vanguard in it, will the two of them also be in the Zhenbei Army?"

Wu Jiyun's eyes flashed with a hint of abnormal light, and he looked at me in surprise and said: "It is very likely, because the Zhenbei Army has just been established, and all the generals are appointed by the princess and the general personally, at that time I remember that there were a total of five people who went with me, in addition to the Zhenbei general, there was another vanguard and two Bianfeng left, but among the four people, who would be those two." ”

"It's not time to think about that yet." I changed the subject back and said, "When I meet with the four protectors, they will cooperate and help us attack the city?" ”

Wu Jiyun shook his head: "The benefits must be given, and the reason why the four of them made the momentum of the siege so big is that the original intention is to force the Buddha-faced Venerable to negotiate conditions, and it is estimated that they want to build momentum and set up a few strategically located towns in the Buddha-faced Venerable empty-handed. ”

Looking at his confident appearance, I smiled and said, "It seems that everything is under your control." ”

Wu Jiyun didn't deny it, nor did he acquiesce, but I suddenly thought of a question: "Even if the troops are enough, but with the Buddha-faced Venerable and the four protectors under his seat, do you really think we can attack it, let alone the hidden Fenglou......"

"The four protectors who betrayed have followed the Venerable for so long, and they know him far better than ordinary people, and there must be a way to restrain him before he can make this move, so I don't care about those rabble, what I want is that he can restrain the Buddha-faced Venerable, as long as the Buddha-faced Venerable can't make a move, everything will be easy to do."

I nodded deeply when I heard this, "Then when will I go to Wushan County." ”

"Sooner rather than later, if there's nothing important here, let's go now."

After saying goodbye to Wu Jiyun, I found Aunt Seven, handed over all the matters of Luoyan Town to him, and then took Boss Jiang and took a dart boat to Wushan County.

From Luoyan Town to Wushan County, it basically spans the entire ancient road from north to south, the road is far away, passing through the four major war zones, if there is no convenient conditions for Jiang Laoda to lead the way and dart boats, it is basically difficult to rush back before the coalition forces attack Shuofang City.

"Now that the war has just subsided, various places are also very strict about the control of ships passing along the way, and many war zones have not yet been exposed to curfews, and ships cannot sail at night, even if the trip goes well, it is estimated that when they come back, it will be half a month later."

Boss Jiang supported the boat artemisia and let the dart boat speed up with the current downstream, but the worry in his eyes was difficult to hide.

"Half a month is about the same." I nodded: "Now that the operation of Luoyan Town has entered the routine, you and I can't help much even if we stay there, and you've worked hard these days, so you should come out and take a break with me, don't think so much." ”

Boss Jiang stood at the bow of the boat, turned his face to look at me, and a wry smile crossed the corner of his mouth, and he did not continue to speak.

I didn't say anything about the purpose of this trip to Wushan County except Wu Jiyun, firstly, I was afraid that there would be many people and miscellaneous people to expose their whereabouts, and secondly, the spies in Luoyan Town had not been completely eradicated, and every move was under the nose of the enemy, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

"It's Wuyuan City in front, do you want Lord Bai to go down and have a look?"

After a day of sailing, night slowly fell, Boss Jiang hung the river lantern with white characters on the bow of the boat, and then pointed to the ferry on the side and said.
