Chapter 388: Suspicion
As more and more monks rushed out of Mangmang Mountain, a line of defense carefully arranged by the Shu army was dismantled, there was no expected fierce collision, and there was no unbearable tragic fight, the monks of the Jinzhu Army were really like divine soldiers descending from the sky, Yuan Wuyu was using a large number of light spirit pills, set up a heavy ambush, but the final result was that the Jinzhu Army seemed to understand Yuan Wuyu's arrangement, almost at the beginning of the Shu army's ambush plan, the Jinzhu army found a way to crack it.
Yuan Wuyu knew that it was impossible to win the battle with the Jinzhu Army, the Shu Army was already at an absolute numerical disadvantage, and the King of Shu now no longer had the courage to fight the world, and he couldn't do it if he let him go, in this case, even Yuan Wuyu couldn't help the King of Shu turn over, and in the case of not being able to fully control the arrangement of the Shu army, Yuan Wuyu's ability couldn't even give full play to half of it.
Yuan Wuyu is at least very fortunate now, although the King of Shu can't give it a go, at least the King of Shu can still see the situation in front of him clearly, and he can agree to leave the Central Plains and choose a Xuan Realm to live in, which is already the best result. Yuan Wuyu never had the idea of giving up, whether it was the decision to withdraw troops from Shangjing City, or all the strategic retreat decisions made afterwards, it was for a better counterattack. It's a pity that the King of Shu never adopted it, and now he can only choose the last strategic retreat, but this time he wants to rush out, and even Yuan Wuyu himself doesn't know what year and month he has to wait.
Yuan Wuyu walked out of the Shu Palace's mansion in a relaxed and heavy mood, this time the plan to gather the army and withdraw must be planned and implemented by himself. After all, strategic retreat is always a very dangerous thing when a major war is at a disadvantage, and once it is not well mastered, there will be great problems. If you retreat slowly, you will be entangled by the enemy, and you will lose the opportunity to retreat. If the retreat is too fast, it is easy to cause panic, and it will make the army of monks under his command mistakenly believe that it is a complete rout rather than a strategic retreat, and it is difficult to bear either of these two situations.
Since the war with the Jinzhu Army to the present, although Yuan Wuyu has always been reluctant to find fault with other people, he has to admit that in this war, many generals of the Shu army and even the commanders of each army are extremely stupid. Maybe they are all the same as the King of Shu, they have all been raised as uncles by the surrounding Xiliang Army and Changyun Army over the years, and they no longer know how to fight tough battles, so now such a heavy task, Yuan Wuyu can only do it well by walking around himself.
Another point is that Yuan Wuyu still doesn't know what Liu Qing means, in their plan, Liu Qing needs to lure the enemy deeper, and then kill the Jinzhu Army in the designed encirclement. But now, not to mention their plan to lure the enemy into the depths, Li Mingyang and them have already seen through it at the beginning, even if Li Mingyang is willing to throw himself into the net, the Shu army is no longer able to exterminate them.
After this period of delay, although Li Mingyang's sharp knife team is still very ethereal, it is destined that they must still be separated from the large army, but after the other monk armies of the Jinzhu Army have been united, they have also begun to slowly speed up and rush towards the Shu Wangfu. If they tried to set up an ambush to surround Li Mingyang's group of powerful Void Spirit Realm cultivators, it was basically impossible to win.
Although Liu Qing is really stupid, but the result of this battle has already been like this, Yuan Wuyu doesn't want to see his students do stupid things again, of course, he also hopes to take more Shu army monks away, so there is no need for a senseless battle with the Jinzhu army to happen. For the sake of Shu County, and also to make up for the big mistakes made by his students, Yuan Wuyu could only embark on this strange and familiar journey again this time.
In the palace, a man with three huge scars on his face stood in front of the King of Shu, who was supposed to be an extremely handsome man, but because of the three extra terrifying scars on his face, he became hideous. This person's name is Wang Chen, and he is the most loyal general of the King of Shu, and the Wang Chen's family has been the general of the King of Shu for four generations, and his loyalty to the line of the King of Shu is even far greater than that of Yuan Wuyu.
And the reason why Wang Chen was reused was not only because of his loyalty to the King of Shu, but also because of his strong strength. Wang Chen's cultivation has already reached the fourfold realm of the Xuanling Realm, such a terrifying combat power, in fact, there is no longer need to be loyal to the King of Shu, but for him, loyalty is already his nature, and now he can't talk about loyalty or not, but he is used to doing things for the King of Shu.
Only this time, when Wang Chen was standing beside the King of Shu, for the first time, after receiving the order of the King of Shu, he did not turn around and leave as usual, but was a little hesitant and didn't know what to do.
"What, what's the difficulty?" For the princes and ministers, the king of Shu has long been no longer simply issuing orders from the perspective of the master. Although Wang Chen does not need to doubt his loyalty, and Wang Chen's brain is somewhat problematic, it seems that all his talents are in cultivation, but even so, the King of Shu does not dare to really treat Wang Chen as a subordinate. From the day Wang Chen advanced to the Xuanling Realm, the King of Shu had already changed his attitude towards him.
Although Wang Chen looked fierce because of the scar on his face, his eyes looked a little wooden at this time, and he said in a simple voice: "Why do you want to kill Lord Yuan?"
The King of Shu was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Wang Chen, if this sentence was asked by someone else, the King of Shu must have the idea of killing people now, but thinking that the person in front of him was Wang Chen, the King of Shu could only say patiently: "Because Lord Yuan wants to betray me." ā
"It's impossible for Lord Yuan to betray you. Wang Chen replied directly without even thinking about it.
The King of Shu's brows frowned imperceptibly, but he still patiently explained: "Wang Chen, you don't understand these things, and you can't see why, but do you think I will order things indiscriminately, killing him will only benefit Shu County and not do any harm." ā
Wang Chen immediately became silent, Mu Ne's eyes finally became a little more bright, as if he was thinking about something seriously, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly shook his head very nervously and said: "Impossible, how can Lord Yuan be harmful to Shu County, as long as Lord Yuan is alive, Shu County cannot have prestige, King Shu, you should believe in Lord Yuan and believe in his plan." ā
Hearing Wang Chen's words, King Shu's brows finally wrinkled unconsciously. It has been many, many years, and Wang Chen is like a shadow following the King of Shu, because of his strong strength and the strange techniques he cultivates, his existence is imperceptible to many people, and even the King of Shu himself is not sure whether Wang Chen is following him.
It is precisely because of this that the King of Shu has not communicated with Wang Chen for a long time, in fact, he has always regarded Wang Chen as a simple and capable general. It's just that now when he heard Wang Chen's words, the King of Shu suddenly realized that although Wang Chen didn't look shrewd, it didn't mean that he was stupid. As a fourfold powerhouse in the Xuanling Realm, even if his brain is not bright than ordinary people, but with the improvement of his strength and the continuous strengthening of his senses, his brain should always be much better.
Now it seems that Wang Chen is also obviously able to understand the situation in Shu County. It's just that Wang Chen's reaction suddenly made a shadow sprout in the heart of King Shu.
In fact, wanting to kill Yuan Wuyu is not a temporary idea of the King of Shu, since the beginning of this war, the King of Shu has realized a problem, in the current Shu County, although everyone respects this King of Shu very much, but it is only because of the gap in identity that it will be so. However, the King of Shu found that all the monks were convinced and even fearful of Yuan Wuyu from the bottom of their hearts, and seeing such a situation was the most unacceptable situation for the King of Shu.
Over the years, the King of Shu has not liked to show up from time to time, one is because he doesn't want to be distracted by big and small affairs, and the other is that the King of Shu believes that Yuan Wuyu will definitely be able to handle these things, so he needs to maintain enough mystery. Now it seems that his sense of mystery is absolutely there, and all the Shu County monks will have a very special sense of awe when they see themselves.
But just like this, the king of Shu can't be satisfied at all, what he wants is absolute control of Shu County, and now it seems that the monks of Shu County are in awe of him, but they absolutely obey Yuan Wuyu's words, many orders, after Yuan Wuyu is conveyed, the execution will be even higher. As a king, seeing that his subordinates have such prestige, even if this is his most trusted subordinate, he already has taboos in his heart.
The king of Shu is not worried about Wang Chen, because Wang Chen only has a strong combat power, and in Shu County, there are very few people who know him, and he has almost no influence, so the King of Shu is only worried about whether Wang Chen will continue to be loyal to him, and he does not have to worry that Wang Chen will take away his position.
Therefore, when Yuan Wuyu proposed to withdraw his troops one after another, to blindly fight defensive battles, and wanted to let all the monks and armies gather over, the King of Shu finally began to have complete doubts about Yuan Wuyu, and it was because of this suspicion that the King of Shu had less and less trust in Yuan Wuyu, so Yuan Wuyu mentioned yƬ He became more and more unconvinced, and finally to the point where he needed to let the prince go out and kill Yuan Wuyu.
Just thinking that Wang Chen himself can also understand the meaning of Yuan Wuyu to Shu County, the King of Shu is worried that Wang Chen will also be cold because of this matter, and after thinking about it for a long time, the King of Shu can only bite the bullet and say to Wang Chen: "You don't know, Lord Yuan has betrayed me, and he must have gone out this time to gather a large army to seize the throne, so you must help me kill him." ā
"Really?" Wang Chen looked at the King of Shu with burning eyes.
The King of Shu did not dodge his eyes, and said decisively: "Yes." ā
Wang Chen nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll kill him." ā
