Chapter 623: Difficult Incense to Save Your Life
After Zong Xin turned his head, he closed his eyes and felt carefully, turned around a full circle, and then said depressedly: "How is it possible? How can it not be nearby? With Liu Chengjun's injury at this time, it is impossible to run so far in a short period of time." This grandson must not be allowed to run away, the poor monk has already set up a clever plan to surprise Xuzhou, if they know that Weizhou is defeated at this time, Murong Yanchao will definitely take strict precautions, and there will be no chance to attack the city at that time. ”
Liu Chengjun looked frightened and surprised, and he couldn't imagine that after lighting this incense, Zongxin would not be able to see himself. If you take the opportunity to give him a knife at this time...... Maybe that's the way to win.
Liu Chengjun just made a move, and Zong Xin immediately turned his head to look at the direction of Liu Chengyou's hand. Then he shook his head and said, "Maybe I'm too careful...... You have to catch up with this grandson. I didn't expect this kid's martial arts to be good, but his light skills were good, this time it was really careless, I thought I would be able to kill him. It's weird...... My fortune teller Liu Chengjun will die today, how can he survive?"
Zong Xin immediately chased in the direction of Xuzhou Dongcheng, Liu Chengjun didn't even dare to take a breath, for fear that he would be discovered by Zong Xin, and then he would really be dead. This time he really escaped death, and almost died in the hands of Zong Xin, fortunately, Daoist Wuwei gave him this half of the incense.
In fact, Liu Chengjun knew from the beginning that this trip was difficult, and he didn't expect it to be so difficult. Wuwei Daoist is really a master in the world, so far he has not heard of Zongxin missing anything, but Wuwei Daoist was able to break this undefeated myth, and he made Zongxin miscalculate. Zong Xin calculated that he would die, but he didn't die today, this incense stick in his hand was really a good treasure, if it wasn't for him, it would be over today.
Liu Chengjun first extinguished the incense, and then walked back and entered the city from the south gate of Xuzhou. This time Zong Xin didn't find him, but Liu Chengjun was seriously injured, and he insisted that he not fall, at least after passing the news to the third uncle.
In this way, Liu Chengjun remained in a semi-comatose state, and his strong consciousness made him go all the way, and finally fell in front of the gate of Murong Mansion. Liu Chengjun has suffered too much and suffered too much along the way, and he doesn't know why he can hold on for so long, although he is a person in the rivers and lakes, but Liu Chengjun is the body of his son after all, and he really hasn't suffered this kind of hardship.
............
Liu Chengjun didn't know how long he had been in a coma, and when he woke up again, he was already in Murong Mansion, surrounded by a group of doctors, and Liu Chengjun also saw a familiar figure in the crowd, that is, his third uncle Murong Yanchao.
"Uncle~Uncle~"
Murong Yanchao immediately grabbed Liu Chengjun's hand, then nodded and said, "I understand, I understand." Your dad was defeated, right? ”
Liu Chengjun nodded reluctantly, his whole body was weak but not speechless, he just felt tired. Liu Chengjun finally completed his mission, but it was too embarrassing to say it, but he couldn't help but say it, so he had to nod and respond.
"Everyone go out, please Your Majesty the Tang Emperor, this time it's a big trouble. "The moment Murong Yanchao saw Liu Chengjun, he knew that things were bad, Liu Chengjun came to the door of his house in this state, not to mention more explanations, he must have suffered. Only Liu Chong's defeat will let him pass the message, and it seems that he was ambushed by the master, fortunately he came to Xuzhou alive, if he died on the road, he would not have been able to get this news.
Although Murong Yanchao was very happy to see Liu Chengjun, he was more sad at the same time. The eldest brother suffered a defeat, and in this state, sending his own son to deliver the message must be a big defeat. What did Zong Xin do? 10,000 people fought 80,000, he actually won, and defeated the Northern Han and Khitan, how is this possible?
Murong Yanchao immediately ordered people to strengthen the guards, and then sent the doctor in his house to treat his nephew first, and then instilled true qi in him. Reluctantly let him wake up first, even if he wants to be unconscious, he has to explain things clearly before fainting.
Soon, Li Jing also rushed to the room, followed by His Royal Highness Li Hongmao. Li Jing also felt that something was wrong, so he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely along the way.
"This ...... Who is he? What the hell is going on?"
Murong Yanchao said: "He is Liu Chengjun, the son of my eldest brother Liu Chong, who rushed here to deliver the letter after the defeat of the brother of Weizhou. ”
"How is this possible? How did this battle be fought?" Li Jing could hardly believe his ears, how did Liu Chong fight? 80,000 people could not capture Weizhou City? There were only more than 10,000 people guarding the city, and no matter how he fought, it would be a win.
Liu Chengjun used the most concise language to tell the whole story at once, and after finishing speaking, his strength was almost exhausted, and he fell asleep on the bed. The remaining three people were relatively speechless, and they were stunned for a long time before they came back to their senses.
Liu Chongdao: "Zongxin...... It's amazing, although I knew he was good, but I never thought he was so powerful. Almost all of these tens of thousands of people were killed by him alone. It's terrible, although I haven't experienced it personally, but according to Liu Chengjun's description, if I had led the troops at that time, maybe this kind of thing would have happened. Zong Xin lured Liu Chong into the trap step by step, Liu Chong didn't know anything after being controlled by Zong Xin, and thought that these were all his own ideas, but in fact, they were all hints given by Zong Xin, deliberately letting him think in this direction. ”
Murong Yanchao sighed: "It's over, the eldest brother actually lost." Moreover, Zong Xin had already come to Xuzhou City in advance, and deliberately waited for Chengjun to come at the east gate. If it weren't for the incense on his body, I'm afraid we wouldn't have gotten this news at all, and Zong Xin wouldn't know what was going on when he called. ”
Li Jing and Murong Yanchao understood the fact at the same time, if they wanted to capture the Great Zhou, they had to kill Zong Xin first. As long as Zong Xin does not die, and he intends to defend it, no one can touch Guo Wei at all, because Zong Xin is too powerful. He is more powerful than you can imagine.
Li Jing said: "It seems that the Wuwei Daoist in Liu Chengjun's mouth does have some ability, Zongxin has not missed a hexagram so far, but he missed it in the hands of the Wuwei Daoist." And after this incense is lit, it makes others unable to see themselves, at least this makes me see a glimmer of hope, Zongxin is really still a person, as long as he is a human being, he must have weaknesses. ”
"Is there any way to do it?"
"Not yet. ”
The two were silent for a moment, not to confirm their eyes, but there was really no way. What should we do now? In Li Jing's opinion, he has nothing to lose anyway, and there are many soldiers, but he has lost a little money and wasted a little time, which is of course not a big deal. The best result is that he will retreat now, retreat to Datang, and let Zong Xin and Murong Yanchao eat dog, and he will act as if nothing happened.
However, if he does this, Murong Yanchao will definitely follow him back to Datang, and Guo Wei will definitely not let him go. Because of the withdrawal of 50,000 troops, the current strength is not as good as Guo Wei, if you add Guo Wei and Song Yan, two martial arts masters, as well as Zong Xin and wisdom and martial arts, and the cooperation of the eighteen cavalry of Youyun, if he catches up with him, he may be wiped out.
The only way to do this is to find a way to leave Murong Yanchao in Xuzhou to resist Guo Wei, and let Guo Wei kill Murong Yanchao, only in this way can Guo Wei calm down his anger, and he will leave with the remaining 50,000 soldiers. Guo Wei will not catch up, and Datang has no loss.
But there is a problem, Murong Yanchao may not be so generous. And if he retires directly from the army, he doesn't care whether he lives or dies, so his reputation is not good. Murong Yanchao's martial arts are far superior to his own, if he is really forced to be in a hurry, who knows what this bastard will do.
Li Jing determined that he had to think of a perfect way to keep Datang from losses, and he could also ask Murong Yanchao to help him drag Guo Wei's army so that his army could retreat. It is definitely impossible to return all at once, and it must be returned little by little, so as not to make Murong Yanchao suspicious.
Li Jing gritted his teeth and said: "What a Zongxin, the widow really didn't misunderstand him, he really did it." Now it's troublesome, with our current strength is not enough to compete with the 100,000 army in Xuzhou Xicheng, we have to find a way to bring in more troops. General Murong, do you have any way, where else can you borrow troops?"
"I have a way, I won't be like this face now...... Murong Yanchao was so anxious that his face turned pale, because he was scared, really scared. If it is freezing today, although the snow has begun to melt, the temperature in Xuzhou is still cold, and he is really afraid of being defeated by Zongxin, and then he will die of cold and starvation.
Li Jing scolded: "Guy who has no interest, what are you afraid of? It's a big deal to fight with him, the worst result is nothing more than death, and the head falls to the ground with a big scar, what is there to be afraid of? Is your life so valuable? When those soldiers on the front line attacked the city, they didn't die one or two, how could they not be afraid of death, you are not even as good as an ordinary soldier, how can you be a general?"
Murong Yanchao was scolded by Li Jing a little blindsided, at this time Li Jing turned out to be the most radical person? Sure enough, he was a veteran of the battlefield and the emperor of Rong Ma's life, Li Jing really did not let himself down. The scolding just now instantly made Murong Yanchao feel something, no matter whether this feeling was good or bad, but it was still more comfortable than just now.
Murong Yanchao could barely hear his heartbeat just now, and his whole person fell into an endless abyss, as if he could no longer break free. Zongxin was so powerful, he seemed to have dug a pit a long time ago, waiting for himself to walk into this pit step by step, and then bury the soil little by little.
Being scolded by Li Jing like this, Murong Yanchao actually felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he was actually said to be a general who was not as good as a small soldier, a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death. Murong Yanchao recalled that he was not afraid of death in the first place, how many times did he charge into battle when he was young, how many times did he die crawl out of the pile of dead people? How many times did he know that he was invincible, but he still charged forward without hesitation?
