Volume XI, Chapter 58
In a cheer, Wang Zhuo left the crowd with Ying Xue and Xiao Long, Ying Xue took Wang Zhuo back to the inn, woke up Xiao Tianhou, and took Xiao Bird and Xiao Jin back to Tiemen Pass with Wang Zhuo.
Back at the General's Mansion, Wang Zhuo took the rest of his personal guards and returned to his room with Yingxue, Xiaotian, and Yanlong.
"General, is this what you call Brother Long? What a good skill, is this Xiaotian? I almost don't recognize it. Wang Zhuo said happily, I didn't expect the master in Yingxue's mouth to have such a cultivation, although Wang Zhuo's martial arts are not very powerful, but it can be seen that this Long Li in front of him is a peerless master, with such a person by his side, why worry about it.
"Hehe, Brother Wang, this is nothing, but the top priority is to immediately send someone to keep an eye on the three people I punished just now, if my estimate is correct, there will definitely be enemy spies to win them over, so that we can take advantage of it, and the big thing can be done. Yingxue said confidently.
"Okay, I'll send someone to keep an eye on them right away, and I'll come back as soon as I see the situation. Wang Zhuo also suddenly realized that this was really a good opportunity to bring the enemy into the middle of the group.
"Remember, don't send thoughtful men, and don't startle the snake, lest it spoil a great thing. Ying Xue admonished.
"Okay, I'll do it right away. Wang Zhuo left the room immediately after speaking.
"The matter has been done, I don't know what specific plans the general has?" Wang Zhuo didn't take long to come back, he still didn't quite understand what Yingxue meant, but. He firmly believes in a principle, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with believing in Eagle Snow.
"Hehe! I can't hide anything from your brother Wang. That's right, I'm going to sing a bitter trick. Of course, I need a commander to cooperate with me. Yingxue said with a smile.
"Bitter meat plan, although the general said, I will do whatever it takes. Wang Zhuo looked at Yingxue with trust, in his mind, Yingxue is simply omnipotent, and it is absolutely right to listen to Yingxue.
"My plan is like this, and I don't need to say much about our current situation, which can be described as suffering from the enemy in the back and abdomen, internal and external troubles. And Gao Yuanhao's northern capital is thick and strong, his forces are slightly stronger than ours, if we attack strongly, we will definitely suffer heavy losses, and we are trapped here, in a dilemma, if we want to break out of the encirclement, we need to win by surprise. Today, I deliberately left those three personal soldiers in Yaoguan just to let the spies in the city get the news. Let those spies take advantage of the opportunity to show up and find them, and then we will sing a bitter trick to find a military commander in the name of violating military law. You will punish you in public, and then the three pro-soldiers who will be punished will be connected and let the spy come to our commander. Then, in the name of deception, he rushed out of the three northern provinces in one fell swoop. That's where we can do our best and play to the fullest. Don't have to stay in this place and be in a dilemma. Ying Xue told him about his plan in general, and Wang Zhuo nodded again and again.
"Wonderful, wonderful, the general's method is really wonderful, but I don't know which general you are going to send?" Wang Zhuo asked for Ying Xue's opinion.
"It's up to you, I'm just talking about a rough plan, as for the specific implementation, it depends on Brother Wang's acting skills. This matter is extraordinary, and it is interlocking, you can't make a difference between cuò, otherwise you will lose everything, so the most important thing is to keep it secret, the person sent must be a tight-lipped person, and you must not leak the wind, I don't know who Brother Wang is going to let to carry out this task, you are more familiar with the five of them, I have no opinion, it is up to you to decide. Yingxue threw the burden back to Wang Zhuo.
"Well, since we are going to fight, it is better to choose Zheng instead, he is now guarding the Tianguan, the easiest to attract attention, and he is also the object that most people want to lure, and he is deeply hidden, it is the most suitable for him to do this. After thinking about it for a while, Wang Zhuo decided to hand over this task to Zheng Ti.
"Since it was chosen by Brother Wang, this drama is up to you, let's go to Zheng Ti tonight to explain our plan clearly, and then we will turn back to Yaoguan to stabilize the three personal soldiers first, lest they be unable to vent their grievances and make the fake come true, so that we will have to lose our soldiers." "Yingxue doesn't want to be a secret, every aspect of this matter must not be omitted, otherwise it will definitely suffer heavy losses.
"Okay, let's act tonight, now we are only waiting for Gao Yuanhao's news, why hasn't he come to persuade him to surrender recently, and he hasn't come to attack, it's really unpleasant, he usually comes when he doesn't want him to come, but now he doesn't come when he wants to come. Wang Zhuo said urgently, Wang Zhuo didn't dare to take the lead in this kind of thing, otherwise it would not be good to arouse Gao Yuanhao's suspicion, and he had to wait patiently for the sake of today's plan.
"It's okay, he will come, he is even more breathless than us, we have a lot to do now, let's wait for his good news while doing it, if he doesn't come to us within three days, I will have to go back to the cottage, I may have to delay for a day, I will leave Brother Long and Xiaotian by your side, with Brother Long's cultivation, you can be safe." And even if Gao Yuanhao comes, I will also teleport Tang Bin, Zeng Zhaoli, Liu Linfeng, Xie Hao, Yang Yuhai and Zhou Ming and the three hundred brothers in the cottage, although there are only about 300 people in the cottage, I have trained them into a force with the strongest combat effectiveness, and with their joining, we will be even more sure of victory. Yingxue said in a deep voice.
"Great! It's great to have them on our side, and we're back together. Wang Zhuo said excitedly, this is exactly what he has been looking forward to for a long time.
"By the way, Brother Wang gave you a good thing, I hope you like it!" Ying Xue smiled and took out a set of Xuantie Battle Armor from the Sumeru Ring and handed it to Wang Zhuo.
"What kind of armor is this, it seems to be a little old. Wang Zhuo thought to himself that it was not as good as his current set of armor, why did Yingxue give him such armor, this armor was black and black, it was simply tattered, but because Yingxue gave it to him, he had to give Yingxue face and reluctantly took it.
"Brother Wang, don't look down on you. This armor is a good thing, and everyone else calls him the Darkiron Armor. It's older, though. It's practical, and it will definitely work for you. Ying Xue didn't care, but still said with a smile, because as long as people who knew the origin of this set of armor, they were like crazy, overjoyed, this is Ying Xue's experience.
"Darkiron armor, what a familiar name. Wang Zhuo muttered to himself, and suddenly Wang Zhuo's eyes lit up. "The Xuantie Battle Armor, the legendary Treasure Armor, is it really it?, has the general found the treasure of the legendary Heavenly Sage?" Wang Zhuo was ecstatic and exclaimed in a gaffe.
"Brother Wang, be quiet, you just need to know. Ying Xue stopped Wang Zhuo's excitement.
"The Xuantie Battle Armor, I actually found the Xuantie Battle Armor, it's really unexpected, I can't think of it. Wang Zhuo muttered to himself. Suddenly, he patted his head and said in a lost voice: "The general has already obtained the Tianyan Divine Sword, of course he will get the treasure left by the Heavenly Sage, why didn't I think of it." I'm so stupid. "I didn't expect that the divine armor that I couldn't even think of would appear in front of me, and it would be held in my hand, which really made Wang Zhuo feel like in a dream. I can't believe it's true, it seems that following Yingxue is indeed the right person. Ying Xue is likely to be like the Heaven Venerable Sage back then, and he will follow him to gallop across the entire Sky Continent. Leave a name for generations.
Of course, Yingxue didn't know what Wang Zhuo was thinking, but when she saw Wang Zhuo holding the Xuantie Battle Armor, she smiled and thought he was stupid, so she had to pat him on the shoulder vigorously and wake him up. After Wang Zhuo was woken up by Yingxue, he realized that he was too out of shape, but he didn't know what to say to Yingxue now, this time Yingxue came back, and there were too many surprises for him, and Wang Zhuo could only smirk.
"Okay, Brother Wang, let's go out and inspect for a while, let me see how your military looks?" Ying Xue said to Wang Zhuo.
"Okay, okay, you let me put on the armor first, you wait!" Wang Zhuo impatiently put the Xuantie battle armor on his body.
"You!" said Yingxue, shaking her head.
"This armor is quite heavy, but it just fits, but I don't know what the magic is, but it's a pity that I can't verify it. Wang Zhuo said regretfully.
"You can just try it yourself with your sword. Ying Xue nodded.
"That's right. Wang Zhuo's sword slashed at his body a few times, and found that he didn't leave a white mark on the armor, this armor is really magical, Wang Zhuo really worshipped, "It's a pity, although this dark iron armor even has a mask, but it can only protect most of the body, and it can't be protected below the thighs, it's really a pity." Wang Zhuo felt that there was a fly in the ointment.
"Alright, Brother Wang, if all of them are wrapped in armor, it won't become an iron lump, can we still fight? Let's go out and take a walk. Yingxue said humorously.
"That's right, this iron gate is guarded by me personally, so let's go and have a look around, and ask the general for more advice. Wang Zhuo couldn't put it down and touched the Xuantie armor and said.
Ying Xue didn't bother to take care of him, he had seen a lot of such reactions, Ying Xue and Yan Long walked out first, Wang Zhuo slowly followed, as soon as he got out of the room, Ying Xue's identity changed completely, and he had to follow behind Wang Zhuo.
Putting aside everything else for the time being, all of them were carried out according to Yingxue's plan, first of all, Yingxue explained the three punished pro-soldiers in this way, the three pro-soldiers, and then understood why Yingxue wanted to embarrass the three of them in public, it turned out that he was using himself to lure the spies in the city to throw himself into the net, these three people felt that the mission was heavy, and they all swore allegiance to General Wang Zhuo, and Wang Zhuo gave Zheng Ti a face-to-face lecture, Zheng Ti saw that Wang Zhuo believed in himself like this, what does it matter if the eldest husband suffered some flesh and skin, and said that he swore to complete the mission. So the next day, when Wang Zhuo inspected Tianguan, he beat Zheng Ti fiercely in public. And the three pro-soldiers immediately told the spies who came to woo them, and the spies felt that there was something to do, so they hurriedly reported to their masters, and preemptively attacked, if they could occupy Tianguan, they could use the special terrain of Tianguan to negotiate with Wang Zhuo, and even use force to solve the problem, so all parties were moved, Zheng Ti was not refused, and they all laughed and accepted it. And Gao Yuanhao was just as Yingxue expected, he was more unstable than Wang Zhuo, and sent someone to persuade Wang Zhuo to surrender on the morning of the third day, according to Yingxue's explanation, Wang Zhuo sent Lu Qi to negotiate with Gao Yuanhao, and the lion opened his mouth like a lion to ask for military salaries, official positions, and fiefdoms. With an insatiable face, Gao Yuanhao agreed to all of them in order to stabilize Wang Zhuo. And when he saw Wang Zhuo like this, he thought that Wang Zhuo was not a person who could achieve great things. It's just that he is short-sighted and insatiable, so he relaxed his vigilance against Wang Zhuo.
Ying Xue saw that Gao Yuanhao had basically entered the trap, so she left the dragon and Xiaotian by Wang Zhuo's side, and explained that the surrender must be discussed when he came back, and then drag Gao Yuanhao back, and he could ask for more money and grain and grass, which is a wartime necessity, and at the same time told Zheng Ti to ask for as much military pay as possible from other people who won him back. Dress yourself up as a money-hungry person to paralyze your enemies and kill two birds with one stone. And Yingxue herself hurried back to the cottage in Guanling, and told everyone about the shape of the three northern provinces, Yang Yuhai, Zhou Ming, Tang Bin, Zeng Zhaoli, Liu Linfeng and Xie Hao Six people and three hundred brothers were very excited after hearing this, and they said that they would immediately go to the three northern provinces to participate in the battle, so under the leadership of Yingxue, everyone came to the Iron Gate Pass through the magic teleportation array, but. Although Eagle Snow moved relatively quickly, it took a day, but finally all the personnel were summoned in time.
Time was pressing, and Ying Xue rushed to the back of the iron gate. I didn't want to rest, so I immediately summoned Wang Zhuo and Lu Qi, Li Li, Zhang Luo, Zheng Ti and Ma or six people back for an emergency meeting, first of all, Lu Qi explained Gao Yuanhao's attitude in detail. Moreover, in order to stabilize Wang Zhuo, Gao Yuanhao has sent some of the materials and military salaries to Wang Zhuo, and the two sides agreed to prepare for the handover of the first phase the day after tomorrow. After listening to the situation, Yingxue agreed with everyone. It was decided to withdraw the strength of Li Li and Zhang Luo's two armies back to Tiemen Pass, while Zheng Ti and Ma or did their best to hold Tianguan, and at the same time stabilized the people from all sides who came to persuade them to surrender, and tried to squeeze some military salaries as much as possible, and strive for more things for the army. And Li Li and Zhang Luo, the two army commanders, saw that there was about to be a big battle to fight, they were excited, the soldiers took the battle as their duty, and they were proud of dying on the battlefield, but for so long, it was a boring defense, everyone felt very boring, and now the war was about to start, of course, they were happy, everyone was eager to try, Zheng Ti and Ma or knew that the responsibility was heavy and did not dare to slack off, if the backyard caught fire Ying Xue and Wang Zhuo they might be wiped out, and Zheng Ti still had important things to do, when Zheng Ti and Ma or after listening to Ying Xue's words, they rushed to their posts to ensure that the forward position was worry-free。
After Zheng Ti and Ma Or left, Yingxue discussed with Wang Zhuo, Lu Qi, Li Li, and Zhang Luo the specific matters of handover with Gao Yuanhao tomorrow.
"Everyone, it's noon, less than two days before the morning after tomorrow, I'm ready to do it the day after tomorrow, of course, if they are prepared, then we will not move, if there is an opportunity, we will do our best, be sure to take Gao Yuanhao's last line of defense, then he will only have to guard in his northern capital palace with us for the final confrontation, but by that time, the overall situation has been decided, he is also the general trend has gone, if he stubbornly resists, we will kill, but tomorrow's plan depends on General Wang, success or failure in this move, so everyone has any doubts to raise now。 Ying Xue said with a stern expression, this matter is by no means child's play, and no mistake is allowed to be saved, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
"I completely agree with the general's plan, but there is another problem, if we transfer the troops of Yaoguan and Liuliguan, even me and Li Li will transfer the iron gate, such a big action, won't it cause the people in the two passes to commotion and unease, especially the spies in the city will definitely get the information, if Gao Yuanhao and they get the news, they will definitely strengthen their vigilance, and then we will not fall short. Zhang Luo said with some concern.
"I've also considered this question, but I can't come up with a good plan for the time being, I don't know what you think?" said Yingxue for advice.
"I think so, let me and Zhang Luo and Li Li play another scene, but the two of them have to be scolded. Wang Zhuo glanced at Zhang Luo and Li Li.
"Please rest assured General Wang, if you want to achieve great things, what's the harm in being scolded, even if you want our heads, as long as you open your mouth, we will offer them with both hands. Zhang Luo said arrogantly, and Li Li also nodded in agreement.
"Where is there such a strict zhòng, I mean, tomorrow you each transfer a brigade of troops, just say that you are on my order to change the guard, and then I will come out to face you and punish you, I have never given this order at all, you must have fallen for the tricks of spies, deliberately to disturb people's hearts. If you don't even have the slightest vigilance, you will definitely be punished by me. Then I will take the opportunity to remove you and let you two change your guard and go to the Iron Gate. Let Lü Qi come to guard Yaoguan and Liuli Pass, and Lü Qi will mobilize the forces of two weaker brigades to take over Fangyao Pass and Liuli Pass, so that the mouth of everyone can be blocked, and it will not arouse the people's riots and the suspicion of spies, and we will successfully withdraw all our troops. Wang Zhuo explained his plan to the crowd.
After listening to it, everyone felt very good, and they all agreed, Yingxue saw that everyone had no objections, and continued: "Okay, this matter has wronged the two military commanders." Let's talk about the specific handover method now, although it is a fake show, but it must also be real, so as not to arouse Gao Yuanhao's suspicion. I'll start first, and if there's anything missing, we'll think about it again. In a word, we attack at dusk, first of all, let all the soldiers have a full meal in the morning. Commander Lu Qi took the remaining two brigades to negotiate under the city, and then dragged on for half a day, saying that he couldn't be the master of this and that of the other. So let's let General Wang go in person, so that General Wang will take the strength of Commander Zhang's army to talk to Gao Yuanhao, and they will definitely not let us enter the city. However, Gao Yuanhao will definitely have a banquet for General Wang, and then General Wang will signal that Commander Lu will be fully responsible for the decision. At the table, General Wang entangled Gao Yuanhao, in the name of asking for military salaries and official positions. Wantonly asked Gao Yuanhao for things, since General Wang personally went to negotiate, Gao Yuanhao would definitely not doubt it, because General Wang was the supreme commander on our side, I think Gao Yuanhao would never have imagined that we would take the opportunity to sneak attack, but General Wang would have to take some risks. And here Commander Lu and the negotiators sent by Gao Yuanhao will talk about all kinds of miscellaneous matters, I think it's also afternoon, a soldier of one and a half armies, that is, 60,000 people, took the opportunity to shout hungry and asked to enter the city, I think Gao Yuanhao will definitely not let them enter the city, everyone will take the opportunity to hold a barbecue meeting under the city, make him smokey, fires, and at the same time shout loudly, loud voices, so that Gao Yuanhao neglected to take precautions, and then we sent the three hundred soldiers I brought in the name of Sona food, by Tang Bin, Zeng Zhaoli, Liu Linfeng commanded the three of them, took the opportunity to enter the city, killed the soldiers defending the city, and controlled the city gate, and then the army took the opportunity to enter, took the city in one fell swoop, and attacked the northern capital, and the commander Li Li here saw the fire, and immediately prepared to rescue us, because our number was in the minority, and we had been hungry for most of the day, so Commander Li should act quickly and quickly, as soon as he saw the fire, it was a signal that we were going to prepare for an attack, and immediately came to support us. And Commander Li, you and your subordinates are hiding in a forest outside the Iron Gate, you have to go to lurk tomorrow night, bring enough food, remember not to be exposed, take the fire as the signal, and pay special attention when it is hazy at dusk, my specific plan is these, but there are still some details that you need to add, now please speak freely. Yingxue looked at everyone and said.
"The general's plan can be described as really thorough, if you can help the general complete the great cause, what does it matter if I Wang Zhuo sacrifices a life, I think it has been decided, I Wang Zhuo has received your kindness, if I don't go to the northern capital to meet with Gao Yuanhao in person, he will definitely strengthen his vigilance, in this way, all the things we are planning today will be in vain, you don't need to persuade me, I have made up my mind, what is the joy of life, and what is the fear of death!" Wang Zhuo said resolutely, of course he knows the danger of the matter, this time, it must be nine deaths, but what to do is not without danger, as long as it is to complete Yingxue's plan, this sacrifice is nothing, he decided to die to repay Yingxue's kindness, as long as he can complete the big thing, his personal sacrifice is nothing, as long as it is a war, someone will sacrifice.
"General, then you should bring more people, after all, more people can ensure your safety!" Lu Qi knew that Wang Zhuo's mind had been decided, and it would be useless to persuade him again.
"Everyone, if I bring so many people, won't it make Gao Yuanhao suspicious, I only bring four or five people is enough. You don't need to worry about this matter, as long as you take the outer city quickly, it will be the greatest guarantee for my safety. Wang Zhuo said to everyone with a smile, at this time, he didn't want everyone to have scruples.
"Everyone, don't worry, my opinion is the same as General Wang, I am going to let only five people accompany General Wang, rest assured, I have already arranged the manpower, that is, the five of them, Zhou Ming, Yang Yuhai, Xie Hao and me, although I Ai Qiyingxue can't guarantee anything, but I will do my best to ensure the safety of General Wang." Yingxue said confidently,
"Everyone, please rest assured, with General Yingxue personally accompanying me, you still need to be suspicious, there will be no problem. Wang Zhuo also said confidently.
"But General Wang and General Yingxue are gone, so who will command us tomorrow?" asked Lu Qi suspiciously.
"Tomorrow we will act according to our established plan, and there is no need for anyone to command, and the life and death of General Wang and I will all depend on you. Yingxue said humorously, you can't weaken your morale at this time.
"Yes, I have entrusted all the responsibilities and rights to you, and if you are late, then we will be brothers in the next life. Wang Zhuo also said humorously that only by doing so can they stimulate their full potential and win more with less.
"This ......" Lu Qi, Zhang Luo and Li Li looked at each other, to the three of them to fight independently, if the cooperation is not good, it will let Yingxue and Wang Zhuo die at the same time, of course, if the three of them are opposed, then Yingxue and Wang Zhuo will definitely die, but Lu Qi and the other three of them are loyal to Yingxue and Wang Zhuo, especially after Yingxue recruited Lu Qi and the three of them, they did not snub them because they were Gao Yuanhao's subordinates, but still appointed them as military commanders without any doubt, they all nodded solemnly, expressing their willingness to fight to the death. (To be continued......)
