Chapter 458: A Chess Piece Buried Deeply
Sullivan dragged his exhausted body towards home. He had been working for several days without much rest. Even though he was riding on Immediately, his head began to peck at rice bit by bit.
You have to go back and have a good rest, and sharpen your sword before chopping wood. The enemy has not yet reached the city, but you can't defeat yourself first.
With a sudden feeling in his heart, Sullivan raised his head and looked at the building on one side. A familiar face flashed past, and Sullivan stopped his horse suddenly.
"General, what's the matter?" the leader of the guards asked.
Sullivan smiled and pointed to the restaurant next to him and said: "I suddenly wanted to drink this home-brew for a hundred days to get drunk. Brothers have worked hard these days, so they deserve a reward."
All the guards were overjoyed.
Now they are not only physically tired, but also mentally tired and under great pressure.
It would be great to have a drink to relieve fatigue.
Moreover, it was the commander-in-chief who gave the wine, so there was no risk of violating military discipline.
"I'm going to chase them away!" The leader of the guards turned over and dismounted.
"No need! Look, is there anyone else in this restaurant?" Sullivan waved his hand with a smile, got off his horse, and walked inside with his hands behind his back.
The lobby was indeed empty. When Sullivan walked in, the shopkeeper hurriedly came to greet him.
“It’s very quiet!” Sullivan laughed.
"The general is the only guest today!" The shopkeeper had a grimace on his face.
"After a pot of 100-day drunkenness, some of the specialty dishes will be delivered to the private room upstairs!" Sullivan walked upstairs and said to the leader of the guards: "You and your brothers can eat in the lobby down below. Okay. Let’s eat wine and food. You can’t help it today.”
“General, are you going up alone?”
“I want to be quiet!” Sullivan waved his hand.
Upstairs, Sullivan hesitated for a moment, then finally opened the door to one of the rooms and walked in.
Inside, sitting a skinny old man, watching Sullivan come in, his eyes narrowed with laughter.
"General, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are more majestic than before!"
Sullivan sat opposite the old man, shook his head and said: "Just being roasted on a volcano, what kind of majesty does that bring? I envy Wutu, he is free in Bafang City and can do whatever he wants!"
The old man laughed: "You won't envy him, because he is dead."
"What?" Sullivan looked at the old man opposite him blankly. "He, he, how did he die?"
"Because he betrayed your emperor and tried to block the advancement of our army!" The old man said calmly: "Since he wants to block the car with his arm, Of course we were not polite and just crushed him to death. Oh, by the way, I was the one who killed him. After killing him, I ran all the way to Yandu. I ran faster, so I probably passed him. You will receive the news in a few days! ”
Sullivan swallowed and turned pale.
He had no doubt about what the man in front of him said, because the identity and status of this man were right there.
Qian Jia, the head of Qiuyuan of the Beiting Protectorate.
There was a gentle knock on the door, and Qian Jia said: "Come in!"
The shopkeeper walked in with a tray and carefully placed a pot of wine and a few things. The side dishes were placed in front of the two of them.
Sullivan was not surprised at all.
The Beiting Protectorate has been infiltrating Yandu for many years. It is not surprising that this boss is one of theirs.
"Xiao Duhu came in person?" Sullivan's voice was trembling. Regarding Xiao Changche, he does have a psychological shadow now.
"Of course, Xiao Duhu personally leads the army!" Qian Jia said: "Twenty thousand cavalry and thirty thousand infantry are advancing towards Yandu day and night! I am afraid that I will be late. Akedun was kicked out by Zhe!”
Sullivan knew very well that the so-called infantry of the Beiting Protectorate were actually infantry on horseback, and they were very fast.
I poured myself a glass of wine, tilted my neck and drank it, but I choked and coughed repeatedly.
Hundred Days of Drunkness is very strong.
Slamming the wine glass on the table, Sullivan smiled bitterly and said: "I don't believe you are really here to save His Majesty the Emperor!"
Qian Jia smiled and poured the wine glasses in front of them. When it was full, he picked up a bean with two fingers and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it slowly. While chewing, he looked at Sullivan and said: "The agreement we made with you when we released you three years ago is still valid. , now, it’s time for you to choose.”
Sullivan's face was a little distorted, and he turned to look out the window, his expression changing, and he was obviously struggling internally.
“If we don’t come, Akedun will definitely die at the hands of Jebie and Tiele!” Qian Jia said, “If they win, how can you deal with yourself?”
Why do you think so? Where? Of course there is only a dead end.
He, Sullivan, has always been a loyal confidant of Akodon. He has helped Akodon do many things that offended people. Once Akodon is defeated, he, Sullivan, will probably be beaten by countless people. The enemies were chopped into powder.
“Can’t Beiting continue to support His Majesty the Emperor in settling Yandu as he did in the past?” Sullivan still wanted to struggle.
Qian Jia smiled and said: "The condition for Akedun to settle in Yandu is that Tiele still has strong troops and horses in places such as Zhending and Dading. Zhebie is eyeing the Ugu enemy area and may go south at any time, but now they are all in defeat. At the edge of the world, do you think there is any reason for Akotun to continue to be peaceful? Sullivan, the final moment has arrived. The century-old era will become the dust of history this year. You are lucky and still have the opportunity to choose. More people can only follow the trend and have no control over their own destiny."
"Beiting wants to swallow up the power of the three kings in one fell swoop?" Sullivan was a little shocked.
"I might as well tell you that Tiele has been trapped in Qingtongxia by us, and he can't come back!" Qian Jia said: "If you can cooperate with us, then we can completely annihilate Zhebie under Yandu City. It is also possible to build an army. This is your best opportunity to perform meritorious service, and it is also an opportunity for you, Sullivan, to still enjoy wealth forever after the fall of the Yuan Dynasty."
"There are 30,000 garrison troops in the city. Loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Of course, so you have to lead them to fight to the death with Tielezhe!" Qian Jia said with a smile: "But before that, you have many other things to do! ”
"What to do?"
"How can you allow people like Yelv Chongguang and Shixian to continue to live in the city?"
"They are all important ministers!"
"What if they give you a nest to rebel when Zhebie attacks?"
"What does the head of the hospital mean?"
"Of course we have to capture them all at once and kill them all!" Qian Jia said with a smile: "Then we might as well have someone pretend to be them to contact Zhebie and others and agree on a time for the final decisive battle against Yandu! Sullivan , If you don’t have such talents, I have a lot of them here! This can definitely help you!”
Sullivan left the restaurant after drinking all the wine in the pot.
Upstairs, Qian Jia watched him leave with a smile.
Tonight will be another bloody night in Yandu.
In the battle of Yuan'an, Xiao Changche captured Sullivan alive in front of thousands of troops, and then this guy was handed over to Zhiqiuyuan.
Under the joint planning of Li Dachui and Qian Jia, this guy who was deeply trusted by Akedun was sent back to Yandu as a free chess piece.
But the so-called idle chess, when the time is right, can suddenly change and become the winner.
Even Li Dachui and Qian Jia, who threw down the bargaining chip at that time, had no idea that today Sullivan would actually become the commander-in-chief of Yandu's defense.
