Chapter 38 The Art of War
The radar showed that Hong Ling was within thirty meters, and after taking a deep breath, Jiang Shang pushed the door open.
Jiang Shang thought about what it would be like to see Hongling again after a short parting.
Will you get excited, you will be angry, you will be sympathetic, you will be sad, you will be frustrated, you will shout out, you will curse her, you will question her, you will laugh it off.......
He really didn't expect that Zaijian noodles would be such a relaxed atmosphere and environment.
"Yo, you're here?"
As if she had known that Jiang Shang would come, Hongling greeted her as a matter of course.
The red-haired girl wore a pale red carved cheongsam she had met for the first time, and carried her hem to play in the shallow pool of the cave, and a pair of bare feet swung in the water, kicking the water while greeting uninvited guests.
"You know we're coming?"
"Well, although we haven't been together for a long time, I can still see what kind of person you are, and now that you know that Haiming City will be irrigated by seawater, you will definitely come. If you can listen to persuasion, you won't be the Jiang Shang I know. ”
With a nostalgic smile, Hongling seemed to say hello to an old friend, but someone couldn't keep her composure.
"Hongling!! You traitor, why are you still laughing!? ”
Betrayal is undoubtedly Hong Ling's most hated word, and when she heard this, Hong Ling was also annoyed.
"Betrayer? Make no mistake, I wasn't on your side from the beginning. It's a spy, how can it be said to be a betrayal.
"It's a betrayal! You have betrayed our trust. ”
Unexpectedly, Jiang Shang was condemning the other party's betrayal.
But for the first time, Hongling heard 'betrayal' without the slightest resentment. Perhaps, due to the betrayal before. And trust.
"All right, boy. If you're here to accuse me, go back, it's pointless. If you want to find trouble with the big guy in the back (Jade Bottle), I won't stop you, please. ”
"No, my primary purpose today is to take you back!"
"Me? Don't say such nice things anymore. I don't want to repeat it, a knight who can betray again at any time will only bring you ruin. ”
"I won't betray again."
The boy's tone was full of categorical affirmation.
Hongling unconsciously stroked the gold ring around her neck. But his face was full of bitter smiles,
"Hehe, sometimes, your confidence and naivety are really enviable."
"Time is limited, let's see with facts."
Jiang Shang took a fighting stance, and Qi Lier also smiled, as if he had already known the other party's decision.
"Zuihou, let's fight. hahahahaha
Laughter was full of hysteria. Behind the girl, the huge crimson figure turned into the figure of a violent ape, and the deep black eyes were already occupied by violent blood.
"Come on."
Historically. Jiang Taigong, the prototype of Jiang Shang's heroic soul, wrote "Six Tao and Three Strategies", and is known as the ancestor of the military family.
"Liutao? Wu Tao? "All victories do not fight, and the soldiers are non-invasive". "Great wisdom is not wise, great planning is not planned". It means that war is about winning by outwitting and winning the greatest victory at the lowest cost. It's about outwitting. A wise man uses wisdom to make the invisible so that he does not see his wisdom, and he uses strategy before the battle to make people unaware of his intentions.
In addition, the chapter "Three Doubts" proposes that if we want to "attack the strong, leave our relatives, and disperse the people", we must "plan cautiously because of them", that is, to deal with a strong enemy, to make the people rebel against their relatives and leave, the most haode way is to superficially conform to the enemy's intentions, but in fact secretly use strategy.
If you want to evaluate the most unscrupulous art of war in history, the martial saint Jiang Taigong, who has been praised through the ages, can definitely rank in the top three.
And it was he who started this, and the 36 strategies of Sun Tzu's Art of War, Sun Bin's Art of War and other military books in later generations all put the idea of conspiracy and power on the bright side (beauty strategy, use room, anti-room, slander, vertical and horizontal), in the eyes of opponents, it is these soldiers who are more insidious and vicious than the other, and one is more cunning than the other.
Perhaps under the influence of the Star Soul, Jiang Shang's so-called actual combat tactics, in fact, the above soldiers are generally the same, unscrupulous, attacking the enemy with weakness, as long as they can win, they can use any means.
"If you try hard to reach Zuihou and still can't reach your goal, shrug your shoulders and say, 'I did my best, although Zuihou didn't achieve my goal, but I have no regrets'? Oh, it's a beautiful excuse, but is there any other meaning than comforting yourself? ”
"If there is really no way, then don't act, since you have taken action, it is naturally because there is a possibility of winning. If you still fail, before comforting yourself, do you have to ask yourself if you have really done your best? Is there anything else that can be promoted. ”
For Jiang Shang, the process of hard work is to achieve the ultimate goal, and it is meaningless to just satisfy his own efforts, so in the face of an almost impossible dilemma, Jiang Shang's habits are probably completely different from those of ordinary teenagers.
"Since we have a goal, we must achieve it at all costs, and as for what means to take, we will consider it when we achieve the set goal."
At this moment, he is thinking about the problem with his usual thinking.
"Fighting head-on with Hongling, who has an extremely tenacious will to fight and is getting more and more frenzied, is time-consuming and meaningless, and if you win, you will suffer heavy losses. To achieve the strategic goal and end the battle before the opponent returns to help, then a few small actions are necessary. ”
The core of Taigong's art of war, which is also the core of Jiang Shang's art of actual combat, lies in the fact that before fighting, we must first know the situation of both the enemy and us, compare them, and overcome the enemy's shortcomings with our own strengths, so as to win with the least attrition.
So, what is Hongling's biggest weakness?
Soft-hearted and kind-hearted!
Yes, as a solitary night watchman who has killed countless people, Hong Ling is actually extremely simple and kind, she may be ruthless to the enemy, and crush the enemy's head in a violent manner, but she is obviously not calm enough for her friends and comrades.
Lost to a member of the warband like a family at a young age, he has been making a living on his own, and he has drifted farther and farther away in betrayal after betrayal.
Accustomed to loneliness? That's just an excuse to talk about masturbation, humans are always social animals who crave communication, and the more lonely people are. In fact, the more you crave friendship and affection.
Human beings are often desperate for what they have lost.
Jiang Shang, who has reached out several times and let himself experience the taste of family and sincere trust. Hongling can't be ruthless, and the unscrupulous teenager. But he has seen through these and intends to use them.
"Listen, Qi Lier, when we fight with Hongling, we will use me as a meat shield, don't worry, that stupid girl will definitely not be ruthless. Saying, with this free shield and armor, even if she is really ruthless. I also have the confidence that I can't die. ”
A few minutes ago, when Qi Lier heard this so-called "the fastest strategy to defeat Hong Ling", she was really angry and funny, but vaguely, she felt that this was indeed a good way.
Rivals may often know each other best, she knows the girl who seems to be covered in thorns, but in fact, how much she looks forward to trust and friendship, and how much she has a knife mouth.
"Since the ultimate goal is to save her. Well, there is no way to take some dirty means. ”
At this point, the battle began. As if they had a heart in their hearts, their eyes met, and the despicable master and servant duo decided to activate the preparatory tactics.
Ziliel swung her three-pointed, two-edged knife. Turning into a storm of blades, he rushed towards his opponent.
The three-pointed and two-edged knife was originally a long soldier that could be cut and stabbed, and Qi Lier used all his strength to develop his knife technique. Take advantage of the attack distance and intend to win with skill.
This. For an old opponent like Hong Ling, who knows the roots, she specially attached a three-layer absolute blade to the divine weapon. Strong, maybe not sharp enough, but definitely heavy enough, strong enough, just bullying you without weapons.
From time to time, the heavy knife split the mountain, and the person followed the knife, and the whole long knife was in a circle, one and a half meters long, with a thick layer of golden light, which vibrated in the air with a thunderous explosion.
Sometimes the body is like catkins, and the knife is like a living snake, hitting a gorgeous combo that is like flowing water.
Hongling doesn't care about your thousands of changes, she honestly pours her strength, Zhenhai's skills carry a thousand jun divine power, and she fights hard with one force.
The fist brought a terrible wind pressure, and the strong wind that rushed to the face was almost suffocating, but the steps were extremely light and agile, and the attack was even faster and fiercer.
Every blow seemed ordinary, but the blood-red soul power that overflowed from the tight muscle accumulation, the sound of explosion, was enough to explain the terrifying physical liliang, and Hong Ling's hard work in the enhancement system.
By the time the enhancement system is cultivated to the advanced level, the hand-to-hand warrior has already overcome the shorter range.
Where Hongling's fist was not finished, a layer of blood-red energy was formed, and after leaving the body, it turned into a shock wave, knocking down a pit on the ground, and stepping on a piece when it hit the wall, which is enough to show the horror of this simple and fierce boxing.
Contrary to that day's competition, last time, neither side used high-star soul skills and weapons, Hong Ling used skills, and Qi Lier used force, this time, Hong Ling's brute force counterattacked, and every time Qi Lier retreated.
For Jiang Shang, who has always been in the mortal Shijie, the battle between the two sides is too terrifying, even if he has practiced eight or nine Xuangong, it is impossible to see results in a short cultivation time, and the Star Soul also lacks the ability to attack.
At this time, he was standing in the battle situation, and he was already going to do his best.
The free shield was only used once, and the barrier produced was shattered by a single punch, which consumed a lot of soul power, and Jiang Shang immediately knew that this level of soul power barrier was meaningless to Hong Ling.
But the boy was not discouraged, but threw away his shield, giving full play to the advantage of his deep understanding of the opponent's physical skills, hand-to-hand combat, and constantly interrupting the opponent's attack rhythm.
Soon, he was sure that as long as he appeared in the opponent's attack line, the opponent would be a few beats slower.
So in the next second, he became Mr. Key.
And Jiang Shang actually rushed straight towards Hongling's thousand pounds of punches.
If that iron fist hits the head, I'm afraid it will immediately turn into a crushed watermelon.
But Hongling was startled, and then her face was full of surprise, zuihou, but her silver teeth bit lightly, and she staggered her fists.
And Qi Lier took advantage of the opponent's body to lose balance and pumped the opponent hard.
"Ahh
That moment was definitely not light, and immediately, the place where the knife was hit was blue.
The scene in front of him has already proved Jiang Shang's judgment.
After discovering this, Jiang Shang even directly used his body as a shield to disrupt the other party's rhythm, forcing Hong Ling to be in a hurry for a while.
"Despicable!"
"Call him tactics, please."
"Bastard, you really think I wouldn't dare kill you."
"Well, I don't think you dare, or else, why do you say it so ruthlessly. but they still avoid me. By the way, this kind of ....is called tsundere. ”
"....... bastard. Bastard, asshole. I regret it, why didn't you die. ”
Hong Ling's eyes were already blood-red, and it seemed that she was about to go completely berserk.
At this moment, Jiang Shang's feet slipped and he lost his balance.
Instinctively reacted, Hong Ling punched hard, with deadly wind pressure, and hit towards the face.
But just shot. She regretted it, and if she was really hit, her head would immediately explode like a crispy watermelon.
As a result, she hurriedly withdrew her hand, and the punching posture was naturally seriously distorted and deformed.
And Jiang Shang pretended to slip on his feet, waiting for that moment.
The artificial muscles of the right foot exploded, and with a twisted turn, the person stood firm again.
Both hands tapped Hong Ling's shoulders. Tai Chi pushes her hand to take advantage of the situation, and with the help of force, Hongling stumbled, and her body lost her balance. Instead, Jiang Shang fell to the ground.
As long as it works, the same method weishenme can not be used a second time, Jiang Shang uses practical actions. Let Hongling connect the same dang twice.
Qi Lier would not miss this opportunity, and the blade immediately pressed against Hong Ling's throat.
Feel the coldness of the three-pointed, two-edged knife in your neck. The aggrieved girl who lost took a deep breath and closed her eyes in resignation.
"If you want to kill, you can kill it. I am willing to gamble and lose, I will not say anything despicable and obscene, take advantage of the other party's sympathy, play tricks, and don't look like a man or anything like that. ”
"Didn't you say it all..."
"Hmph."
Hongling put her head to the side, her face full of unhappiness.
The young man was rarely not satisfied, but asked.
"Do you want to lose?"
"Not convinced!"
"If you don't accept it, then I'll put this sea cucumber on your face, it's a local product I just picked up from the sea, and I was going to take it back for dinner."
Immediately, Hong Ling's face turned white, but Jiang Shang remembered that Hong Ling never ate fish and seemed to hate seafood.
"Convincing or not?"
"Disgusting, you dead kid!"
"If you don't accept it, it'll be stuffed in your clothes."
"Ah!! Take it out, take it out quickly. Served, served, stupid! ”
The originally fierce battle turned into a children's quarrel, and Ziliel on the side suddenly laughed.
But hearing that the other party admitted defeat, Jiang Shang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Didn't I say that before? As long as you become my companion or a defeated subordinate, I will let you know the power of my god-canter, hehe, that's because my strongest offensive ability can only be used on the defeated generals under me. ”
"Since you admit defeat, then all the conditions are ready, I can show you the beginning of everything, the starting point of all trouble, the enemy of God - the trump card of the Eastern God Sealer."
"Wake up. Whip the gods. ”
Jiang Shang let out a light snort, and an apricot-colored wooden whip appeared in the air, with twenty-six short whips, each section had four runes, a total of eighty-four runes, just appearing in the air, the entire space was shaking slightly.
Jiang Shang held the whip and hit it directly towards Hong Ling, who couldn't move.
The short whip pierced the sky, the starlight spread, and the eighty-four sigils turned into living creatures, scattered in the surrounding air.
The apricot yellow divine light covered the girl, and the terrible coercion directly made Hong Ling feel desperate, and Hong Ling closed her eyes in despair.
"Death at his hands is a good ending, but it's a pity, the revenge hasn't been avenged, so I'll pay it back to you." Uncle Tuan, Hongling is coming to you. ”
But strangely, after a few seconds, there was not a trace of the expected pain.
Hong Ling opened her eyes, but saw that Jiang Shang was sweating profusely, and the sweat was dripping on her body.
The apricot-yellow whip passed through her body and hit the golden ring mantra on her neck.
Yes, the target of Jiang Shang's attack was not Hong Ling, but the forbidden soul tool of the Tightening Mantra, and the Divine Whip, who was good at fighting divine powers and soul tools, could not be used to beat people in the first place.
Seeing Hong Ling's surprised expression, Jiang Shang reluctantly squeezed out a smile.
"I told you I was here to take you back. But I don't want to take this nasty thing with me. ”
"What is this!?"
"Taboo. Hit the god whip, I have no taboos and the upgraded version of the combination of the power of the gods, the soul skill, the soul tool, the special soul tool for the supernatural power. ”
"The condition of use is to win the other party? (Opponent admits defeat)"
The two voices synthesized together, and the two women suddenly realized, and finally knew that Jiang Shang was so obsessed with winning and losing.
Jiang Shang shook his head.
"As long as the whip hits, it can only seal the power for a short time. Sealing briefly is not my purpose. To erase this drawback once and for all, it is necessary to use another divine power. If the power wants to have a negative effect on the soul device, it must first defeat the opponent and seal the soul device. ”
As the seal of heavenly punishment of the Divine Whip unfolded, the golden ring had lost its original luster, like rusty scrap metal.
Jiang Shang's face was already pale, obviously he had just awakened, and he used such a powerful power, which made him a heavy burden.
"Taboo. God list. (To be continued......)
