Chapter 580: The Connector in the Night
"Fool, he ploughs other people's fields and wastes his own. Hurry up and find the cluster of arrows next to the camp and destroy it." Wu Jian stood in the camp of the Northern Army and shouted angrily.
Niu Chao muttered and cursed, carrying a large bag behind him, patrolling around the northern military camp, searching for the clusters of arrows buried in the soil.
The counterattack of the Southern Army has ended, and after Lingwei took the lead in strangulation and other soldiers of the Southern Army attacked one after another, the coalition army finally collapsed. On the stagnant water platform, there was already a river of blood and wreckage everywhere.
Regardless of life and death, many people fled into the vast fog, and their lives and deaths were unknown. With the loss of the Barrier Breaker, the mist constrained the movement of the Northern and Southern armies, as well as the coalition forces.
After this battle, the coalition forces that were caught off guard lost at least nearly 10,000 horses, and suddenly gave up a lot of the original numerical advantage.
After the end of this battle, it was not good for the southern army to enter the fog to pursue, and they could only let those scattered coalition soldiers disappear into the fog.
After watching this battle, Wu Gen turned around and returned to the camp of the Northern Army, but he saw that the surroundings were gray, and it was reported that the Gu family was still spreading the fog around his house, so he couldn't help but be angry and called Niu Chao over to teach him a lesson.
Sitting in front of the big tent, Wu Yan looked at the heavy mist like a mountain not far away, and couldn't help muttering in his heart.
It is said that as soon as the barrier is broken, the Gu family should withdraw this fog to create an opportunity for their own soldiers and horses to attack, why will it continue to maintain, and try to refill the holes that have appeared due to the destruction of the arrow clusters.
couldn't figure it out, Wu Yan stood up irritably, this kind of life of being confined to one place was really uncomfortable, so knowing that Niu Chao had been tossing all night, he forced him to look around for arrows.
"Luo Zhang, go find Yang Zheng." Wu Gan commanded. Since he couldn't use the Childish Water Mirror, he had to take Luo Zhang or Zhuo Ke with him.
After a while, Yang Zheng hurried over, "Village master, but there is something."
"Is there a line with the coalition forces, I'm going to meet them tonight." Wu Yan took out the piece of paper given by Ji Ye and asked directly.
"It's on board, but the other party's attitude is a little ambiguous, and he doesn't refuse, doesn't respond, doesn't take the initiative." Yang Zheng pondered and said, "Isn't it a little unreasonable to see you at this time?"
"It seems that the coalition forces have the idea of dragging it out, I don't know why they are like this, my heart is a little unsure, so I want to meet with the other party, probe the tone, and say that it is best to move the other party. After all, the stalemate between the two families is here, and it is not good for us to go on for a long time, so it is better to find some changes, and we may not be able to break the situation in the end." Wu Gen looked a little tired, he was really a little physically and mentally exhausted after fighting for so long.
"Okay, I'll contact the other party, where to meet, and who to bring." Seeing that Wu Gen had already made up his mind, Yang Zheng had no choice but to respond.
Wu Yan thought for a moment and said, "The meeting place is far away from each other's camps, if you are afraid of being discovered by others, you can meet at the edge of the mist. As for the centaurs, two people from each side, and I'm going to let Zhuo Ke and Luo Zhang follow."
"Take Li Qi with you, he has nothing to do in the camp these days. Do you want to pay another sum of money to the bird catcher, so that the opponent's master will not be able to deal with it." Yang Zheng looked around, his face a little serious.
Wu Gen raised his eyebrows, Yang Zheng looked like he was hiding something, "But what's the matter?"
"It's just some speculation, and there is no solid evidence, so I'll talk about it when it's confirmed." Yang Zheng lifted his belt, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Okay, you must be careful when it comes to your own people, don't hurt people's hearts." Wu Yan admonished, casually stuffed the paper in his hand to Yang Zheng, and said with a smile: "You are from a royal family, it is better to see what kind of official position you have for the other party."
This Yang Zheng was doing it himself, took it over and looked at it carefully for a long time, and talked to Wu Gen in a low voice.
In the camp of the Northern Army at night, Wu Gan took Zhuo, Luo, and Li and cautiously entered the fog and went north.
Due to the lack of barrier-breaking pupils, it is difficult for people to distinguish the direction even if they have the help of a childish water mirror in the fog. For example, if you feel that the opposite side is north, you have actually gone around to the east or west, so you feel that it is the most useless at this time. Fortunately, there is a straight canyon near the camp where the Northern Army is stationed leading to the north, and you won't get lost if you walk along the canyon.
I don't know how long I walked, the fog in front of me gradually thinned, and several people finally reached the edge of the mist.
When the mist came out, Wu Yan discerned the surroundings, and according to Yang Zheng's explanation, he went all the way to the north, found a big tree that was rare in the grassland, and sat down next to the tree.
Zhuo Ke and Luo Zhang carefully probed around to prevent someone from ambushing. As usual, Li Qi slowly escaped into the darkness.
Sitting under this leafy tree, through the gaps in the leaves, the starlight seeps down like fine quicksand. The wind blows through the leaves, rustling, soothing the boredom of these days of fierce battles.
Leaning on the tree, listening to the breeze and listening to the insects and listening to the cicadas, Wu Qian suddenly seemed to have returned to the original Dafeng Village, and there was a taste of returning to the wild goose and autumn, tired of homesickness. qδ.net
"Li Qi, I've known each other for so long, and you haven't said where your home is." Wu Yan took a piece of grass in his mouth and looked at the stars in the distance.
"Where do people like me have a home?" Voices came from the darkness, high and low.
"This place of peace is my hometown, I don't know where Brother Li's heart is." Wu Yan rested his head on his arm and lay down leisurely.
The other party did not answer, and after a long time, he said, "I have no heart."
"Hehe, who can not have a heart." Wu Yan sneered, pointing to the tree above his head and jokingly, "You said that this tree grows, is it an excellent place to hang people?"
"If you have this in mind, I can help." Li Qi's voice was still cold.
Just as he was about to tease a few more words, Drok hurried from a distance, "Someone's coming."
Wu Yan sat up violently and spit out the grass in his mouth, "How many people are here?"
"Three people." Zhuo Ke said in a low voice, "Luo Zhang has already greeted him, by the way, let's see if the other party has any other means."
"Well, if the other party can come, it means that it is already halfway, but it is better to be careful." Wu Qian nodded, "Li Qi, when we discuss later, you go around and see if anyone is coming over."
After a while, Li Qi had disappeared.
There was a slight sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and it seemed that the other horse's hooves were wrapped in something like cloth. Wu Yan stood up, walked out of the shadow of the tree, and waited for the other party to arrive.
The visitor finally arrived under the tree, and looked around vigilantly, "Wu Gan, you came early."
"Young Master Ba, Ba Zhenfu, wait for the two of you for a long time." Wu Gan laughed and pointed behind him, "It's all old acquaintances, and the contemptible people have brought a few pots of turbid wine, so it's better to sit down and enjoy the moon and the wind and the night view, talk about the gathering and scattering of heroes, and talk about the rise and fall of the family and country."
"Wu Gan, less sour, if you have something to say, this young master doesn't have so much leisure to talk nonsense with you." Bahong jumped off his horse, followed by Ba Yueze and an entourage.
"Come, come, sit." Wu Yan was not embarrassed, and made a gesture of invitation, "If Brother Ba feels that something is wrong, I can also go to the fog to talk about it."
"No need, I don't know what means you're hiding in the mist. You've always been ruthless, and you've definitely done this kind of work in secret." Bahong cautiously walked under the tree and took a closer look around.
"What are you talking about, Brother Ba is really wrong to blame the younger brother, I think that I, Wu Gan, have always been upright and open-minded, how could I use such dirty methods." Wu Gan followed him to the bottom of the tree and sat down first, "If you want to harm the young master, how can you go to great lengths to come here, and send a few bird catchers to assassinate you."
"You think you're the only one who can hire birdcatchers, they just need to give money, but they don't talk about morality." With a disdainful look on his face, Bahong waved his hand lightly, and six black shadows appeared around the tree, and then disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
Wu Gan's expression froze, and he sneered, "Brother Ba is really too careful to do such a big thing. Forget it, without further ado, I'll just say it directly, Ling Zun's letter brother has taken it."
Ba Hong's face changed slightly, and he said hatefully: "What if you take it, my father is in prison, and he was forced to write this letter, so that my Ba family can return to the Ji family, is it possible that I will be asked to bring someone down with just a letter."
"Brother Ba, regardless of whether Ling Zun's letter was voluntarily or forced, this move is really for the sake of it
It's good for the Ba family." Wu Yan looked at the other party with a smile, "Think about it, at this time when the Ji family is in distress, if the Ba family sets things right at this time and has the merit of rescuing the disaster, wouldn't it have a bright future after the war. When the chaos in the province calmed down, the Ba family took advantage of the situation to support the Ji family as the emperor, and properly followed the dragon's honor.
Brother Ba, think about it, after this incident, the Ba family will definitely soar to the sky and prosper forever. How many people dream of something, the Ba family can get it at their fingertips as long as they push the boat down the river, so why not do it."
Ba Hong raised his head and laughed, as if he had heard a big joke, "What is the dragon's skill, Wu Gan, no matter how clever your tongue is, you can't stop the fact that the Ji family is about to die, so the boat will be captized, why should I gamble on the fate of the family to climb up." In the past few days, the coalition army has been reorganizing its troops and horses, preparing to kill the Ji family and horses in one fell swoop, and when you and Ji Ye become prisoners, I can send some food to make it easier for the two of you to get on your way."
"No, no, no." Wu Yan shook his head and looked like he was holding a Zhizhu in his hand, "Since the beginning of the coalition army, I have fought with you all the way, and I am very clear about the strength of you and others. In fact, the coalition forces have been defeated, let me talk to Brother Ba in detail.
As soon as the barrier-breaking pupil was destroyed, the means of the mist had been seen through by our army, and it was no longer possible to stop our army's advance. Without these assistance, the Ji family is already stronger than other families, and the coalition army will not be defeated.
Second, the Wen family has already sent troops to bite the coalition forces on the southern front. Our army has asked Yuan Xin to secretly send people to flank the coalition army, and the coalition army is almost the same as the Ji family's horses, so it is easy to defeat the coalition army here in one fell swoop, and destroy the remnants of the enemy on the southern front with a backhand.
Third, let's tell Brother Ba the truth, I have already contacted the Murong family before meeting you. They have already returned to the Lu family, and sent another group to attack the Lu family's city and Qiu Lin's horses, preparing to cut off the back road of the coalition army.
Fourth, it can be seen from the Wen family's dispatch of troops that although the various families hesitated at first, they finally turned their hearts to the Ji family and began to raise troops to serve the king. With these four benefits, how can the Ji family not win."
Don't look at Wu Gan's words so conclusively, in fact, the Southern Front Wen family only sent thousands of men and horses to watch the battle from afar, whether these people are helping the Ji family or helping the coalition army, it is really hard to say now. It can only be said that now the various families in the Iron Hand Province are waiting and seeing, trying to bet on both ends. Until the end, it will never be clear where they stand.
"Haha." Ba Hong raised his head and laughed, laughing so much that tears were about to flow out, "Wu Gan, Wu Gan, what you said is far-fetched. Let me ask you, if the Murong family attacks the coalition army, how will the 5,000 people led by Murong Yuqiang deal with themselves, so close to the coalition army, the backhand will be destroyed."
"Although Murong Yuqiang is a woman, she is much more decisive than Brother Ba, she is ready to flee from Qili City alone once she sends troops and join her own brigade." Before Wu Gan came, he had already deduced Bahong's possible question with Yang Zheng in detail, and he answered fluently.
"What about the five thousand men?" Bahun was still a little unconvinced.
"If you throw it away, for the sake of the family, five thousand people are worth sacrificing." Wu Gen was calm.
After hesitating for a long time, Ba Hong still sighed, "Wu Gan, let me tell you the truth, it's not that I don't want to do it anyway, it's that I don't dare to do it. According to Lu Lie and Gu Yangsi's private revelations, while the southern army was outside, a large army was rushing to Hanlu City from the north, preparing to join forces with the coalition army to attack the Ji family. As for who it is, Gu Yangsi did not disclose. After the destruction of the barrier-breaking pupil in the past few days, the reason why the mist was not removed was precisely to drag down the northern and southern armies."
Suddenly hearing this letter, Wu Yan couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, which family also rebelled and directly attacked Hanlu City. There is a lonely city in Hanlu City, there is no arch guard outside, only Ji Chen is guarding alone, so the Ji family is in trouble.
