Chapter 363 Betrayal
Sometimes courage comes from ignorance and ignorance,
Sometimes courage comes from pride and self-confidence.
Wu Zheng is naturally not a fool. When the Beiting Protectorate issued an invitation to him, he carefully evaluated the strength comparison between the two sides.
It is impossible for the Beiting Protectorate to mobilize all their strength to attack him.
Because Yancheng is located on the border between Qin and Yuan, too large-scale military mobilization will definitely cause a strong reaction from the Yuan Kingdom.
Who knew you were going to attack Yancheng and invade the Yuan Kingdom?
But now the Beiting Protectorate obviously does not have the ability to swallow up Tong Beiyuan in one go.
Even if Beiyuan is now divided into three.
So the troops and horses they can mobilize are limited.
He couldn't block the full blow of the Beiting Protectorate, but he was still not afraid of some of the troops.
Yancheng originally had thousands of elites. After the Yan clan in Aquarius Prefecture was destroyed, Yancheng began to expand its military and prepare for war. In the past few years, its military strength has doubled.
The Wu family is not short of money.
Even richer than Yan.
Don’t look at salt. Every household doesn’t eat much, but you can’t help but eat it every day. Every meal is indispensable!
Naturally, there is salt elsewhere outside the pass. In the past, salt came in from within the pass, but without exception, they were defeated by the Wu family and finally surrendered.
Because Wu’s salt is fished directly from the salt lake, the cost is almost zero.
With more than 10,000 well-equipped troops, even the Yuan army stationed here were jealous.
Now, Wu Zheng even gritted his teeth and replaced the Yuan army stationed here with brand-new equipment.
Now it seems that everything is worth it, the Beiting Protectorate is really going to take action against him.
Win this battle, and then drag the fight between the two sides into a stalemate,
It doesn't matter to me, but the people under the Beiting Protectorate need to eat salt.
As soon as the supply was cut off, the price of salt under their control increased tenfold. What would it be like if there was no salt for half a year?
I know very well that the Beiting Protectorate does not have a large amount of salt.
Are you sure that you don’t dare to resist them?
joke!
Of course, in addition to the comparison in military strength between the two sides, Wu Zheng himself is at the top of the ninth level of Xuanyuan. Over the years, he has also used money to win over many good players in the world. Against generals, he is not afraid of Xiao Changche either.
So when Xiao Changche launched a breaking attack in her usual fighting style, Wu Zheng used herself as an arrow and rammed into Xiao Changche without any fear.
The gun and knife collided, and the true energy was scattered.
The guards who followed Wu Zheng closely behind him were in bad luck.
Unlike innate masters, who keep their true energy in check when they attack and will not consume their true energy in any irrelevant places, Xuanyuan Ninth Grade does not have such ability. The collision between two masters with similar cultivation level will cause a collision within a radius of ten feet. Within, people with poor strength are not allowed to exist.
The little dark horse is fast and gets excited easily when fighting, so Xiao Changche threw his men far away. Now the two collided, and the unlucky ones were all Wu Zheng's men, who were confused. Four or five people were injured by the overflowing zhenqi. They screamed and fell off their horses. They were trampled to pulp by the horses in an instant!
Wu Zheng couldn't care less about this.
Xiao Changche is the ninth rank of Xuanyuan. He has known this for a long time. In the past, he thought that Xiao Changche was young and that he was a genius to be able to enter the ninth rank at this age. But when it comes to it, The strength of his true power was definitely not as good as his own, but after this confrontation, he discovered that his young opponent was no less powerful than himself.
More importantly, Fa Tian, who has the most killing aura in the world, is like the raindrops floating all over the sky, very thin but extremely sharp, coming from all directions, as long as one of them touches the body, it will immediately cause death. It will rush towards the heart along the tendons and veins, causing people to have to distract themselves from digestion and resistance.
Wu Zheng finally understood why Fa Tian had such a great reputation in the past.
In fact, the person who is fighting against him has a lot of energy to distract himself from this extremely weird attack method.
The two have fought against each other several times, and Wu Zheng has determined that if time goes by, he will definitely lose.
He can only count on his trump card to work at the critical moment.
It’s time for them to take action.
In the midst of his busy schedule, he glanced at the battlefield. The two sides were entangled with each other. Xiao Changche's reserve troops were still several miles away from the battlefield, but his own trump card was close at hand. .
It’s time to move!
The leader of the Yuan army was the veteran general Wutu, so he would not fail to see this rare fighter opportunity.
The next moment, he heard the horrified screams of countless people in the distance.
He turned around, but it was like a basin of cold water pouring down on his head, freezing him into a sculpture from the inside out.
The Yuan Army cavalry he had high hopes for had indeed moved.
It’s just that they are moving in the wrong direction.
Their flag turned towards the north. They did not join in the fighting, they stayed away from the battlefield.
On the flank position originally occupied by the Yuan army, another cavalry from the Beiting Protectorate has appeared there, just like the same sharp butchering pig. The knife was stabbed in from the side.
"No!" Wu Zheng howled miserably.
The idea of a fox pretending to be a tiger's prestige is based on the fact that the fox wants to threaten other small animals, which are far inferior to the tiger. But if he wants to use the prestige of one tiger to threaten another tiger, what will happen? That's dangerous.
Because he is likely to be sold by the big tiger whom he regards as his protective umbrella.
Because the two big tigers who are still helpless to each other may end up selling each other for some reasons. Use it as a trade object and sell it for a good price.
The Yuan Kingdom now sold Wu Zheng for a good price.
Wu Tu reined up his horse and looked back. On the battlefield, because of his departure, the army of the Beiting Protectorate came in from the side. Wu Tu's army was caught off guard and was killed in an instant. The collapse was only a matter of time. .
He sighed and shook his head.
In fact, Wu Zheng was really kind to him and responded to his requests. The more than half a year he was stationed in Yancheng was the most comfortable life he had lived. Wu Zheng's petty remarks and flattery also diluted the faint feeling of injustice in his heart.
After Akedun ascended the throne, he distanced himself from Wutu.
With Ren Duozhong and Xifeng Keqin, the suddenness is no longer as important as before.
In fact, the biggest effect of Wu Tu was to give Tiele a heavy blow when he was caught off guard.
It was possible to kill Tie Le, but it was a pity that Tie Le ran away anyway.
Although people like Wutu who betrayed Akedun finally came back, they still planted a thorn in Akedun's heart.
So Wutu was sent far away to a place like Yancheng, with the euphemistic name of letting him enjoy the blessings.
For people like Wutu, it is clear what it means to be far away from the center of power.
It's easy to leave, but it's hard to go back.
After leaving Yancheng, he was going to station in Bafang City. There were more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and their combat effectiveness was not bad, but at the junction with the Beiting Protectorate, there was a wild boar stationed by the Chang family. ridge.
The three thousand emperor's personal guards under his command are not so much the elite soldiers and generals under his command as they are the power to contain himself. Ali Dun is afraid that he will sell Bafang City again!
Wu Tu lowered his head, feeling extremely frustrated.
The reason Akedun still allowed himself to lead the army to station on the front line was probably because he took a fancy to his ninth-grade Xuanyuan martial arts cultivation!
"General!" Several generals came over on horseback, with a bit of unwillingness on their faces.
"Everything is for Dayuan!" Wutu forced a smile and said: "The Beiting Protectorate has given us more benefits elsewhere. In exchange, we can only give them here. Everyone, We are sitting at the dining table, and those people are the delicacies on the table. Let’s go to Bafang City, where we will compete with the Beiting Protectorate.”
On the edge of the Salt Lake. , Xia Zhi angrily slashed down with his sword. Before the sword came, the energy of the sword had already stirred up the salt lake water to explode with a bang. When the sword fell, the lake water moved to both sides, revealing the snow-white lake bottom a few feet below.
In the distance on the lake, dozens of small boats were quickly moving away, and above the lake, there were countless heads of people swimming desperately towards the distance.
"Salt lakes are not designed to drown people, because a person can float in it, but with this weather, if you swim in the water, you will probably freeze to death!" Gu Xiaoman walked to Xia Zhi's side , said: "There is nothing to be upset about. We won this battle with great success. We took thousands of prisoners alone. The entire Yancheng belongs to us. This Yancheng is a golden chicken that can lay eggs. Young Master said, In the future, this salt will also be the anchor of our Beiting Protectorate’s economy. Such strategic materials must be in our hands!”
"Wu Zheng ran away!" Xia Zhi said angrily: "He was seriously injured. I didn't even catch him. If he goes back, he will be teased by her again!"
"Wu Zheng is the ninth level of Xuanyuan!" Gu Xiaoman He smiled and said, "Do you think Xiao Duhu didn't pay the price for seriously injuring him? Otherwise, given Duhu's temperament, he wouldn't have personally led the team to kill him?"
"Xiao Changche was also injured?" Xia Zhi stared wide-eyed. eyes.
"What do you call Duhu?" Gu Xiaoman bent his fingers.
Xia Zhi took a step back and held his head in his hands: "I was wrong, it was Xiao Duhu!"
Gu Xiaoman nodded.
"But compared to Wu Zheng, the guard's injury is a minor one! It will be fine in two or three days."
"With Wu Zheng running away, there will be no peace in Yancheng. That guy is definitely going to cause trouble!"
"Don't worry, he can't escape!" Gu Xiaoman said with a smile: "He escaped to Beiyuan. If we send a letter, Beiyuan will have to kill this family. Send us his head. Since we have betrayed them, we must betray them thoroughly. Akodon will not be confused about this. How can we do things in a hurry?"
The two were talking. Then, a cavalryman galloped towards Gu Xiaoman and Xia Zhi. He turned over and dismounted, but his face looked panicked: "General Gu, General Xia, and Vice General Xiao have you two return to the Chinese army camp immediately!"
"What happened?"
The messenger stepped forward and lowered his voice: "The Protector suddenly fainted!"
Gu Xiaoman and Xia Zhi looked at each other, got on their horses, and headed towards Run back.
