Chapter 617: The Breach of Nanyue City (4,000 words)
"Xu Zhuangyuanlang?"
When Wu Zejiu heard that the person coming was Xu Ming, his eyes suddenly lit up.
This top scholar was already very famous.
After the news of the recent battle in Wudu City came out, this champion became even more famous! Wu Zejiu still remembered that he was leading the army to attack Qingshan City in Qi State.
At that time, the voice of the top scholar "Ask the martial artists in the world about boxing, and ask the sword practitioners in the world about sword skills" was heard from the sky. Wu Zejiu's blood boiled when he heard it, and the heroic feeling in his heart was beyond words.
It’s a pity that I couldn’t make it back to witness the style of this top scholar.
Unexpectedly, it has only been more than a month, right? The top scholar has come to me? Wu Zejiu's heart suddenly sank, thinking that maybe the war on his side was not going well, so the emperor was a little worried and simply asked the top scholar to come to help. "Hurry up and invite the top scholar in." Wu Zejiu put aside all his thoughts and speculations and said to the soldier who reported.
"Yes, General!" The soldier quickly retreated.
Not long after, Xu Ming walked into the military camp.
"Xu Ming pays his respects to General Wu." Xu Ming bowed and kept his attitude very humble.
"How can I accept this respect from the top scholar?"
Wu Zejiu hurried forward and helped Xu Ming up.
"The champion has devoted his life to the country of Wu. Who in the world doesn't know about the battle under the city of Wu? If it weren't for the champion, our country of Wu would have been in danger."
Xu Ming smiled and shook his head: "General Wu, you are too kind. Ming is just doing his part."
"I wonder where the top scholar is going to the front line of our army to conquer Qi this time?" Wu Zejiu asked.
Xu Ming replied: "Originally I wanted to go to the Northern Wasteland to deal with some things. When I passed by here, I thought if I could do my best to help the general."
"Thank you, Mr. Champion."
Wu Zejiu felt relieved when he heard that His Majesty did not specially ask the top scholar to come.
At least Your Majesty is not completely disappointed in yourself, and you still have some confidence in yourself.
"I believe that with the help of the top scholar, we will be able to capture Nanyue City."
Xu Ming smiled politely: "General, you are too kind. I am just a fighting force that adds icing on the cake. I am afraid that I can't help much. The most important thing is to rely on the generals. I wonder if the general can tell me what the current situation is? I would like to have a better understanding in my heart."
“It’s natural.”
Wu Zejiu nodded and told Xu Ming carefully and in detail about some of his attempts against Nanyue City in recent days, as well as some of the other party's actions.
After finishing his speech, Wu Zejiu sighed: "The other side has one Immortal Realm, three Jade Realm cultivators, and two Mountain Peak Realm warriors in charge, plus the ones guarding Nanyue City, all of them are elite.
And the old turtle, King Ningnan, who has experienced many battles, has also come.
This is even more troublesome.
Now that Nanyue City is closed to the public, there is nothing we can do but watch from here."
“.”
After hearing what Wu Zejiu said, Xu Ming felt that he was of no use here.
Nanyue City has a city defense magic circle, and it has the advantage of geographical location and people, and it is not lacking in high-end combat power. It is not like the situation under Wudu City.
Unless they leave Nanyue City, maybe I can still help.
Xu Ming continued to discuss with generals such as Wu Zejiu for a while, but they really couldn't come up with anything, so Xu Ming could only take Lin Xingluo to a tent to rest.
Xu Ming plans to stay here for three days.
If there is no feasible plan within three days, Xu Ming feels that he will have to leave.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to just wait here.
In the past two days, Xu Ming took Lin Xingluo to see the military formation of the Wu Kingdom army.
The army that invaded Qi had a total of 300,000 soldiers.
Among them are 30,000 Dragon Leopard Cavalry and 30,000 Blood Pagoda. These two troops are the elite among the elite of the Wu State.
In addition, there are the well-trained elite soldiers of the Wu State.
However, there were also soldiers captured from other dynasties.
There were not many soldiers, about 30,000 in total, and they were assigned to different teams.
This is the cleverness of the Wu State.
Now the Wu State has opened up nine fronts. Whenever there are prisoners, they will be sent to other fronts to prevent their own people from fighting against each other.
After all, no matter what, people from the same country must have certain feelings towards their own people.
For example, using Qi's soldiers to attack Qi would only have the opposite effect, and the other side might even turn against us in the middle of a battle.
But it’s different when other countries fight against other countries.
In addition, the other nine dynasties in the Central Plains were not a united front.
It was because of the need to deal with the Wu State that these dynasties formed an alliance, and the relationship between these alliances was very weak.
Otherwise, if this had happened in the past, there would still be conflicts between many countries, and there would have been quite a lot of conflicts.
Some Wang Chaos even have blood feuds.
When these soldiers with grudges come to another country to kill the enemy, they will definitely work harder.
Some soldiers will even show a kind of convert fanaticism.
Moreover, these captured soldiers can be dispersed and incorporated into different teams, which can ensure their combat effectiveness.
After all, when you look up and find that most of the people around you are soldiers from other dynasties and there are hardly any fellow villagers, you will think about going into battle to kill the enemy and survive.
Because you know very well that it is impossible to escape with just a few people like you.
“Is this the army of Wu State?”
Lin Xingluo stared blankly at the neat and orderly military camp and the soldiers who were training.
He felt that the Wu Kingdom's army was completely different from the armies of other dynasties.
That kind of mental outlook is not comparable to the armies of other dynasties.
"The Wu Kingdom was founded on military power and advocates the use of force. Even after 300 years, the blood in the bones of the army will not change."
Xu Ming explained to Lin Xingluo.
And just as Xu Ming continued to take Lin Xingluo to walk within the army.
A soldier saw Xu Ming and ran towards him quickly: "Top Scholar, we finally found you. Please come with us to the main tent. All the generals are here, waiting for you."
"Okay, let's go."
Originally Xu Ming had decided to leave tomorrow, but a meeting was held at this time.
This means that Wu Zejiu and his team have come up with a way to deal with Nanyue City.
At least there is a certain breakthrough.
When Xu Ming walked into the tent, most of the generals had an excited and happy look on their faces.
"You are here, Mr. Champion. Please take a seat quickly. We have found a breakthrough."
Wu Zejiu said to Xu Ming, and then couldn't wait to announce the news he got last night.
“I think everyone knows that King Ningnan is now stubbornly guarding Nanyue City and refusing to leave. We have no way to stop him.
But unexpectedly, just before dawn last night, someone from Nanyue City came to deliver a letter to us.
This person is the lord of Nanyue City - Jin Dayin.
The Lord of Nanyue City expressed his willingness to cooperate with us.
He will work with us from inside and outside to help us capture Nanyue City!
As for the conditions.
After the fall of Nanyue City, he hoped to become a local lord. "
"It's nothing to confer him a title of nobility. If he really abandons his evil ways and joins us, then considering his merits, it's only natural that he should be conferred a title of king or marquis.
However, such a person can only be given the position of an idle prince, and cannot be given any rights.
Otherwise, if he could betray Qi this year, he could betray Wu tomorrow.
But is there something fishy going on with this matter, General Wu?"
A general said warily.
"Indeed, General Wu, it is very troublesome for us to capture the city now, and time is on their side.
The longer they keep dragging it out, the greater their chances of winning.
In this situation, if the other party wants to join us, I'm afraid they have some ulterior motives."
"I also think the other party is bombing!"
"This Lord of Nanyue City cannot be trusted!"
Inside the tent, everyone was talking to each other, and most people expressed their concerns about this matter.
Originally everyone thought there really was a breakthrough.
But now it seems that this is not a breakthrough.
This is clearly just a trap that you have dug for yourself.
Wu Zejiu was not in a hurry to make a decision, but asked Xu Ming: "What do you think, No. 1 Scholar?"
Xu Ming shook his head:
"I am a complete layman when it comes to marching and fighting, so this matter will naturally be decided by the generals.
But my concerns are the same as those of all the generals.
Or does General Wu think that the other party is not pretending to surrender?"
"Yes." Wu Zejiu raised his lips and said with satisfaction, "In fact, in my opinion, this Nanyue City Lord is not pretending to surrender, but really wants to join us."
"There are two reasons."
Wu Zejiu took a sip of wine and spoke slowly.
“First, the Lord of Nanyue City, Jin Dayin, actually has some grievances with the King of Yunnan.
It was impossible to put these two enemies together when marching and fighting.
However, Prince Ningnan usually acts very recklessly and does not know how to restrain himself.
Therefore, even if Lord Qi wanted to use him, he could not use him with confidence, so he let Jin Dayin be his deputy.
As a result, just a few days ago, perhaps because of some old grudges, Jin Dayin was whipped more than 50 times by King Ningnan.
And the fight happened in front of many generals.
This is absolutely a huge shame for him.
Second, this gold and silver is indeed not a good thing.
He is a person who values money over loyalty. The main reason why he can reach his current position is because his sister is a favorite concubine of Zidane.
It is unlikely that such a person can be said to be loyal to the State of Qi.
As a result, Jin Dayin's sister died of illness last year.
Having lost such an important support, Jin Dayin has been very worried about his situation.
After all, at that time, he relied on his sister's favor from Zidane, but he offended many people.
There were even rumors that someone in the court had already impeached Jin Dayin and was about to be found guilty.
It’s just that our Wu army is very powerful and Jin Dayin also has certain capabilities, so this matter was suppressed for the time being.
Moreover, both his parents have passed away. It is understandable that a person like him, who has no one to rely on and whose future is bleak, would want to seek refuge with us."
Listening to Wu Zejiu's explanation, the others also fell into deep thought.
If what Wu Zejiu said is true, then this is not impossible.
But they are still worried that there is a trick.
After all, King Ningnan is not a fool.
For such a subordinate of his.
Can't he see clearly?"
"I know what everyone is worried about."
Looking at King Ningnan's worried expression.
What they are worried about is not what I am worried about. "But everyone, look at this one thing."
Wu Zejiu handed a letter to everyone to read.
Xu Ming and other generals opened the letter together and found a bill inside.
"This is some evidence of Wu Zejiu's business dealings with the Southern Boundary Demon Country, which was found by Jinyiwei and Tingfeng Pavilion with great effort.
As you all know, the nine dynasties are forbidden to do business with the Demon Kingdom. This is a serious crime and if discovered, the offender will be executed.
But this Jin Dayin did not just repeatedly get some goods from the cashew side of the southern border.
He even has some connections with the Fire Dragon Kingdom of the South Street Demon Kingdom.
If Lord Qi knew about this, he would have died many times.
So we plan to copy this bill for him.
By that time, even if he was pretending to surrender, he would have truly surrendered."
"I just don't believe that this guy who does whatever it takes for money and status can regard the interests of the country as more important than his own life.
If that’s the case, then I accept it!”
At the same time, in Nanyue City.
Jin Dayin returned to his mansion.
He had just returned from the Nanyue City Lord's Mansion.
Jin Dayin looked very good and seemed to be in a very happy mood.
This is mainly because Jin Dayin and King Ningnan reached a certain agreement.
King Ningnan asked Jin Dayin to write a letter to the generals of Wu State, expressing his desire to surrender.
In fact, it was just a false surrender.
Because of Jin Dayin's background, it is too easy for him to surrender, making it difficult for people to be vigilant.
Especially when Wu State can only win and not lose, he believes that Wu State will definitely seize such an opportunity.
After the Wu army and Jin Dayin connect, Qi will set up an ambush and try to destroy the Wu army! In the mind of King Ningnan, it is not just about defending such a city, but also about annihilating the enemy army.
King Ningnan also promised Jin Dayin that he would protect him after the matter was accomplished.
The worst case scenario is that Jin Dayin is also the lord of Nanyue City.
Jin Dayin must have accepted this calmly, after all, King Ningnan still had some credibility.
Just when Jin Dayin felt that his future was bright, a servant walked towards him quickly.
"Master, here is a letter for you."
