A roar roared on the Dangyang Bridge, shaking back Cao Cao's million-dollar army.

Zhu Zhanyan used to think that the nickname of killing gods was very unpleasant, but now he has an even more ugly nickname.

Daming Zhang Fei.

Zhu Zhanyan never thought that he would be able to hook up with Zhang Fei one day.

Although he is not handsome and miserable, at least he is not a crooked melon and cracked date, although his temperament is a little crooked because he always does things that kill people and build a view of Beijing, but it is completely incompatible with Zhang Fei's image.

Just because he opened his bow and arrows at the bow of the ship, scaring away the people and soldiers of Nanzhang and other countries, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty connected him with Zhang Fei, who drank the Dangyang Bridge.

He really didn't like the nickname.

But it's useless, he didn't like nicknames like Killing God and Greedy Wolf Star at the beginning, but in the end he couldn't stop these nicknames from spreading, and now this Zhang Fei's nickname is the same.

He didn't like it, but it didn't work, and the soldiers thought it was a good and appropriate nickname.

Gamble, that empty Pat Nong.

"Alright, let the soldiers all restrain themselves!"

Zhu Zhanyan felt a little headache, but he didn't let the soldiers restrain because he didn't think this nickname was good.

They didn't come out for fun.

"Yes!" Mu Sheng's expression also became serious, because he had already seen the smoke coming from the fire, and he could even feel the heat emitted by the fire.

That is, now that the monsoon has begun to turn, otherwise he would definitely not agree to Zhu Zhanyan coming here and making such a risky move.

However, no matter what you thought about it at the beginning, it is now ready to be sent anyway.

"Give the order to go down and patrol the river, no one is allowed to get off the boat without an order!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Zhanyan didn't want to fight a head-on white-knuckle battle with Chen Jikuo, even if the number of Ming troops far exceeded the number of soldiers and horses on Chen Jikuo's side.

There must be no problem in winning, but Zhu Zhanyan doesn't want to let his side have any losses, because in his opinion, this is his future family background.

Besides, according to the spies' report, Chen Jikuo's men still have elephant soldiers.

The cavalry charge is still unable to resist, and the elephant soldiers are afraid that they are the largest cavalry in this era, right?

"His Royal Highness." Mu Sheng stood beside Zhu Zhanyan and asked softly.

"How do we deal with it? Waiting for Chen Jikuo to come out? ”

"No, you have to wait, but you can't wait." Zhu Zhanyan squinted at the smoke in the distance.

"Now the fire is coming towards this side, and I am afraid that it will be dangerous if the soldiers land, so even we have to hide far away."

"Let's wait now, wait for Chen Jikuo to come out, if he doesn't come out, then let's log in and search, if we can't find ......"

Zhu Zhanyan's slightly narrowed eyes revealed a hint of cold light, which made Mu Sheng tremble slightly, only to feel that his back was soaked.

"Report!"

At this moment, a cavalryman suddenly appeared in the stern of the ship in front, who was struggling to wave the big red flag.

Zhu Ling and Zhu Ping quickly stepped forward, and at the same time, several soldiers from the Han King's guards came over, each with a shield, and surrounded Zhu Zhanyan and Mu Sheng, which was impenetrable.

For~

A shocking voice sounded, Zhu Ling and Zhu Ping quickly dispersed, took down the arrow nailed to the bow of the boat, took down the note on it and handed it to Zhu Zhanyan.

"Seven miles ahead, Banner Valley, the enemy is preparing to cross the river!"

With Zhu Zhanyan's order, everyone moved.

The average water depth of the Lancang River is only a little more than two feet, which is only 0.7 meters, and after entering the southern section, the water flow is more gentle due to the topography of the plain.

Banner Valley, this is the best place to cross the river because the water is shallow and the current is gentle.

When Zhu Zhan saw Chen Jikuo's army, the vanguard had already crossed the Lancang River, and the elephant soldiers were crossing the river.

Finished.

This was Chen Jikuo's only thought after seeing the Ming fleet, and he immediately ordered to return with a hoarse voice while sitting on the back of an elephant.

He would rather be burned to death than captured by the Ming army.

Zhu Zhanyan knew what Chen Jikuo wanted to do as soon as he saw the reaction of the elephant soldiers.

When crossing the river, even the elephant troops are not very lethal, because you don't see that the water is relatively gentle, but in the water, it already takes a lot of effort to stand firm.

Combat? Don't think about it.

"Prepare to save people."

Seeing that Chen Jikuo's elephant soldiers tried their best to let a Ming warship into the water, Zhu Zhan ordered without waves.

In war, there has never been a winning general, and even if it is a winning general, no one can guarantee that there will be no casualties.

In terms of strategy, Zhu Zhanyan may still have a lot of shortcomings, but in terms of mentality, he has been trained very well.

"Oooooooooo......oo

There was a sudden commotion in front, and then Zhu Zhan Yan and Mu Sheng saw that there were many Ming troops on the front boats and began to disarm and jump into the river.

This is a robbery.

"Your Highness!" Mu Sheng couldn't hide his excitement, and even had the posture of jumping into the river.

He knew that what could make the soldiers behave like this must be a big fish coming to the surface, either Chen Jikuo's descendants or ......

Chen Jikuo himself.

In ancient wars, there was a very troublesome place, that is, the prohibition of orders.

The Ming army has done a good job in this regard, but it is still a little worse than Zhu Zhan's requirements, because Zhu Zhan's requirements are the level of soldiers in later generations.

For this day and age, this is obviously too demanding.

Zhu Zhan waved his hand, Zhu Ling immediately shook the blue flag, and all the boats moved with the flag and leaned towards the southwest shore.

After the vanguard landed and reconnoitred and dealt with the surrounding area, Zhu Zhanyan followed Mu Sheng and got off the boat.

And on the shore, several people were already pressed to the ground and surrounded by groups.

"His Royal Highness!" Mu Sheng just glanced at it, and then looked at Zhu Zhanyan with a bit of anxiety.

"It doesn't matter." Zhu Zhanyan smiled.

"I'll meet this Chen Jikuo first."

Mu Sheng looked at the enemy troops fleeing on the other side of the river, and he was anxious, but he couldn't do anything.

Now, it's not up to him to call the shots.

"Chen Jikuo?" Zhu Zhanyan stepped forward with interest and looked at the man who was pressed to the ground, but still struggling.

"Heh......" Chen Jikuo stopped struggling when he heard this, and wanted to look up but was pressed and couldn't lift up, so he could only tilt his head and look at Zhu Zhanyan.

"Mu Sheng has to follow behind your ass, it seems that you are Zhu Zhanyan?"

Chen Jikuo knew Zhu Zhanyu, not to mention the confrontation between the two armies, and he had to be well aware of the changes of the enemy army, so he said that the chiefs of the tribes that Chen Jikuo had encircled would also report to him in advance.

The Ming army changed generals on the spot, this is a big deal, even if he has not confronted the Ming army head-on before, Chen Jikuo also knows Zhu Zhanyan.

After all, things on the grassland are now not only spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, but also the subordinate countries around the Ming Dynasty, such as Korea, Siam, and Nanzhang, whether in fact or in name, most of them know Zhu Zhan Yan who built a Beijing view on the grassland.

"It's very well-informed, not bad." Zhu Zhanyan nodded slightly, expressing his approval.

"It seems that the tribal chiefs have sent you a lot of news, or rather, there are others who have also given you a lot of news."

"Hmph......" Chen Jikuo suddenly sneered, and threw a contemptuous smile at Zhu Zhanyan.

"Don't be tempted, I know what you want to know, but I'm not going to let you get it."

"Oh?" Zhu Zhanyan's tone rose, but his face was full of confident smiles.

"How do you know I'm not going to get my way? Do you know what I'm going to do? ”

"Hmph......" Chen Jikuo glanced at Mu Sheng with disdain, but he didn't have much expression for Zhu Zhanyan, the main master.

"You want to use me to arouse the fighting spirit of the whole army? Don't be delusional! ”

"Shall we make a bet, then?" Zhu Zhanyan stretched out his hand to signal, so that the two soldiers holding Chen Jikuo relaxed a little.

"I just use one sentence to make you obey me, do you believe it?"

Chen Jikuo didn't speak, and even cast a pitiful look at Zhu Zhanyan.

This is not to mention Chen Jikuo, even Mu Sheng doesn't believe it.

"Would you like to give it a try?" Zhu Zhanyan had a peaceful smile on his face, but his tone was full of temptation.

"If you win, I'll let you go, and I promise that no one will stop you."

"Then what if I lose!" Chen Jikuo still couldn't help it.

This person, the more he is at the bottom, the more he has the courage to fight hard, but the more he goes to the top, the more he regrets his life and is afraid of death.

Chen Jikuo is like that.

He rebelled several times, and a large part of the reason was because he was desperate for his life, and it can also be said that he was greedy for power and did not want the results of his life's struggle to be ruined.

This is his life.

Zhu Zhanyan grasped his life very well.

"You lost?" The smile on Zhu Zhanyan's face did not decrease.

"You lose and you lose, I don't ask for anything, because the moment you lose, I already get everything I want."

"In other words, I'm just a cat teasing you when it catches a mouse, not when you're hungry."

……

Mu Sheng raised his forehead and sighed, what does it mean to kill people?

Chen Jikuo was stunned for a while when he heard this, and then his face was full of humiliation, but it didn't take long for him to become depressed.

Now he is already Zhu Zhanyan's prisoner, humiliated? Isn't that the most normal?

Thinking about it from another perspective, if he captures Zhu Zhanyan alive, I am afraid that he will be even more arrogant than now.

After a long time, Chen Jikuo took a deep breath and looked straight at Zhu Zhanyan.

Zhu Zhanyan raised his eyebrows, he knew that Chen Jikuo was telling himself that he was ready.

"It's really interesting...... Zhu Zhanyan smiled happily, at this time he was like a twelve-year-old child.

It's just that everyone present knows that this child is not an ordinary child.

"Chen Jikuo, the emperor of the Great Yue Kingdom, but that's it."

"Remember, after returning to Beijing, I want to tell my imperial grandfather that you have opposed the Ming Dynasty several times, but Siam, Nanzhang, Khmer and other countries are behind it, including your elephant soldiers."

After speaking, Zhu Zhanyan squatted down and looked at Chen Jikuo in front of him, with a playful smile on his face.

"That's it?" Chen Jikuo was stunned.

He was a little confused, he didn't know what Zhu Zhanyan was talking about, and he couldn't understand what Zhu Zhanyan wanted to do.

"That's what you're going to say."

"Hmm." Zhu Zhanyan still nodded with a smile on his face.

"Are you crazy?" At this time, Chen Jikuo calmed down and looked at Zhu Zhanyan with a strange face.

"That's what you're going to say? Are you going to deduct a basin for me? When you're done, you still say that you want to use this sentence to make me obey? ”

"That's right." Zhu Zhanyan still smiled and nodded.

"Why?" Chen Jikuo didn't want to leave at this time, he was scared.

Fear, most of which comes from the unknown, and the current Chen Jikuo is fearful, because he doesn't know what Zhu Zhanyan wants to do.

"Why?" Zhu Zhanyan smiled, stood up, looked at the other side of the river, and then looked behind Chen Jikuo.

"Who are these people? Is it your son? Grandson? ”

"Sun Tzu ......" didn't know what Zhu Zhanyan wanted to do, but Chen Jikuo still answered truthfully.

Concealment, it's useless.

"Grandson." Zhu Zhanyan nodded and stretched out his hand to beckon.

Soon, Zhu Ling stepped forward to take over and brought the child who looked about four or five years old to Zhu Zhanyan.

"What do you want to do!" Chen Jikuo became excited.

There may be elders in this world who are so indifferent that people can't believe it, but they are very few, and Chen Jikuo is obviously not among them.

"Nothing." Zhu Zhanyan smiled and touched the little boy's head.

"You did a great job and didn't hide it, so it's a reward for you."

"I can let him go."

Chen Jikuo's struggle suddenly stopped, and he looked at Zhu Zhanyan with a face full of incredulity.

"You...... What did you say? ”

"I said, I can let him go." Zhu Zhanyan's face brought an unpredictable smile, but it was this smile that made Chen Jikuo like an ice cave, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

"Why ......" Chen Jikuo took a deep breath.

Now, escaping is no longer what he wants, what he wants most is why Zhu Zhanyan did this.

"Why? Didn't I tell you everything? You're going to ...... with my grandfather Oh, it's His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which means that everything you do is supported by Siam and other countries behind it. ”

"That's it?" A mocking smile appeared on Chen Jikuo's face.

"Didn't you say you were going to make me do what I said with one sentence? And it turned out to be a threat? ”

"No, no, no......" Zhu Zhanyan stretched out his right index finger and shook it, with a satisfied smile on his face.

It seems that teasing Chen Jikuo made him very satisfied.

"If you don't say it, I will let him go, you are also the emperor of the Great Yue Kingdom, although you are self-reliant, you should also be a little politically minded......"

"If you do what I say, I'll let him go, if you don't do what I say, I'll still let him go, but people will catch up with him and kill him right away."

After speaking, Zhu Zhanyan squatted in front of Chen Jikuo again: "How?" ”

"You ......" Chen Jikuo looked at Zhu Zhanyan's still somewhat immature face in front of him, and his pupils instantly constricted.

"Your goal...... It's never been a cochin ......."

"You've wanted this fire to burn all over the land from the beginning!"

Speaking of this, Chen Jikuo looked at Zhu Zhanyan with a shocked face, as if he had seen a demon climbing up from the eighteenth layer of hell.

"Excuses...... It's all excuses......"

"Even if I don't say it, you will do it, and the reason for setting the fire will not change, it will still be the same set of rhetoric that you want me to say......"

"You...... You ......"

"yes." Zhu Zhanyan smiled and patted Chen Jikuo's face.

"You're smart and you guessed right."

"So, do you want to help me resist all this and make it a reason for me to send troops to Siam and other countries?"

"Just, in exchange for his life."
