Chapter 185: Gu Worm
Not long after, Zhao Yue received news from the scouts that Lu Xunren's 5,000 foot soldiers had appeared in the dense forest twenty zhang away.
"Well, these people are quite patient. In that case, Ben will play with them! "
The corners of Zhao Yue's mouth outlined a trace of cold arc.
He commanded: "Pass the order, and the whole army is on alert!" When the Lu Xun army enters the firing range, they will start shooting arrows, and they must not give the enemy any respite. "
"Yes!"
A loud trumpet sounded, and the army was ready for battle.
Lu Xun's five thousand foot soldiers slowly approached, and Zhao Yue stood on the high platform and watched.
Suddenly, a herald ran to Zhao Yue to report that Lu Xun's army stopped advancing.
"What's going on? Why not move on? Zhao Yue asked.
"General Qiyu! What does Lu Xun's army seem to be preparing? "
Zhao Yue squinted his eyes and stared at the enemy camp for a long time.
Then he shouted coldly: "No matter what the hell they are doing, our army must not slack off!"
The whole army is lined up and ready to attack at any time! "
As the order was issued, tens of thousands of iron horsemen slowly pulled out of formation.
Zhao Yue rode on his horse, staring ahead with burning eyes, quietly waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
After half a pillar of incense, Lu Xun still did not make any moves, and still stood in the distance.
"General, Lu Xun's army doesn't seem to have any intention of attacking us at all, what are they doing?"
Liu Zhi rode on the horse, his brows furrowed slightly.
Then he felt horrified in his heart, and said urgently: "Maybe they are waiting for reinforcements from the Northern Underworld!" "
Zhao Yue shook his head and said, "No, it is impossible for Beiming to send troops to help Lu Xun at this time."
If Beiming dared to openly help Lu Xun, it would confirm the collusion between Beiming and Southern Xinjiang, which would not benefit Beiming at all, and they would definitely not be able to do such a stupid thing. ”
"Then they ........" Liu Zhi was puzzled, since there were no reinforcements, why did Lu Xun order the soldiers to lie dormant here and not move forward half a step.
Zhao Yue smiled indifferently and said softly:
"The reason why Lu Xun is reluctant to attack is because he wants to paralyze us.
Let's think that he came to attack us with only a few thousand foot soldiers, but we didn't know that he was secretly mobilizing more men.
Hmph, they're a good plan!"
Liu Zhi suddenly realized, pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice:
"General, the last general thinks that we should take advantage of this time to retreat quickly, otherwise when Lu Xun and some of the main forces are killed, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out!"
Zhao Yue shook his head, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Don't panic! Let's take a second look.
If Lu Xun makes any changes, you will immediately lead three hundred elites to attack Lu Xun from the flank.
Remember, it's important to be quick! "
"Yes!" Liu Zhi nodded in agreement.
The two discussed the details again, and Liu Zhi took the lead in riding away.
Soon, the time was eight or nine o'clock in the evening.
Lu Xun's army never moved, which made Zhao Yue a little puzzled.
Did you make a mistake in your judgment?
Lu Xun didn't call in more reinforcements?
But, it shouldn't.
If there were no other reinforcements, with a few thousand foot soldiers in Lu Xun's hands, where would there be any chance of victory?
Just when Zhao Yue felt that things were getting more and more wrong, and there was even a little weirdness.
A flute sounded in my ears.
Liu Zhi is back!
I saw Liu Zhi alone, and there were bursts of words in his mouth:
"General Zhao, I know the secret of the death of Master Zhao and Mrs. Zhao, and I want to know the specific details, so I will come to my camp alone tonight."
"What!" Zhao Yue looked at Liu Zhi in disbelief, unable to believe the words in his mouth.
"Report ——!"
"General, the elite led by Liu Zhi were all folded in the middle of the road.
Brothers, the death is extremely tragic, the meridians around the body are broken, and the seven orifices are bleeding, as if they have fallen into an evil spirit! ”
The spies who went to inquire came in a panic to report.
Zhao Yue's heart was extremely anxious, and things completely exceeded his expectations.
If Lu Xun really used this evil technique, he really didn't need to mobilize a large number of people.
And how did Lu Xun know about his parents?
Zhao Yue also wanted to open his mouth to ask Liu Zhi, but he saw Liu Zhi snort out a mouthful of black blood.
Strangely shaped bugs crawled out of the blood.
Then he collapsed in a pool of blood and lost his breath.
"Gu worm!" Zhao Yue's heart moved.
I heard that Southern Xinjiang is famous for Gu control, but Zhao Yue always thought that it was all a small fight.
I've never heard of it, and there's something terrible about it.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xun's hidden strength was so deep that he was able to hide the emperor's eyes and ears.
Maybe the emperor knew that he just let himself and the soldiers of Jiu Yan come to his death and pave the way for him!
Zhao Yue closed his eyes, feeling extremely tired.
He didn't want the soldiers of Jiuyan to die because of him, and now that Shuya has the seventh prince Lu Jingqian, as long as Jingqian ascends the throne, he will be able to keep Jiuyan safe, and it may be possible to restore Jiuyan......
At midnight, Zhao Yue left the camp alone and prepared to go to Lu Xun's camp.
"General! Never! "Outside the tent the crowd will fall to their knees.
Zhao Yue looked up at the bright moon in the sky, smiled faintly, and said:
"Don't worry, it'll be fine."
"Lu Xun just asked me to go, and he didn't directly hurt my life with Gu worms, which means that Lu Xun won't hurt my life this time."
With that, he turned around and walked resolutely towards the east.
An adjutant hurriedly stopped him and persuaded:
"General, don't, if you are ambushed, the consequences will be too serious!"
Zhao Yue shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I, Zhao Yue, am not a fool and will not do things that I am not sure of." ”
Seeing that they couldn't stop Zhao Yue, the generals could only sigh and watch him leave.
In Lu Xun's camp, Lu Xun stood with his hands in his hands, his face solemn.
"My lord, Zhao Yue is here alone." A guard said.
"Oh?" Lu Xun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he showed a cold smile.
Said: "It's good to come, let's bring him in quickly." ”
"Whoa!"
The guards replied respectfully, and then left in a hurry.
After a while, the guards came with Zhao Yue.
Zhao Yue glanced at the camp in front of him, and saw that there was no one else in it except Lu Xun.
I couldn't help but ask, "What is your plot?" ”
Lu Xun smiled: "Of course it's about cooperation, aren't you interested?" "
"Cooperation? Hehe......"
Zhao Yue sneered twice and said:
"You are the dignified prince of southern Xinjiang, and now you have been charged with colluding with foreign countries, do you want me to rebel with you when you talk about cooperation?"
Zhao Yue smiled sarcastically, unceremoniously.
What about the truth about my parents' deaths? You're not kidding me.
Lu Xun laughed, pointed at Zhao Yue and said:
"Then please listen carefully.
Actually, I didn't lie to you, Mrs. Zhao and Master Zhao were indeed killed.
As for who his killer was, then I don't know.
But ......."
Zhao Yue suddenly became nervous and asked:
"What do you mean?"
