Chapter 3561 I am not willing to give up
Zhu Feng was right.
For many years after that, the hearts of the ministers of the State of Yue were shrouded in the shadow of "Zhu Chengjun", which hung over their hearts like a nightmare.
In that nightmare, the young man appeared like a god from heaven, and suddenly led a group of troops into Doubei Town on that quiet night. Doubei Town, which was originally heavily guarded, had no internal defenses because the army was transferred to the north of Yongzhou City and the southwest granary, and the gates were wide open, allowing them to enter the town as if it were deserted.
When all this happened, the people in Doubei Town didn't even hear a word of it. All the officials who remained in the town were waiting for the night to pass and for their great victory.
However, they didn't expect that what awaited them was the prince of Yan State leading his troops to crush their beautiful dreams.
After hearing the news, these people came out of the house in horror and saw that the streets were full of Zhu Chengjun's troops. They rode their horses and whipped them, running rampant in Doubei Town. The soldiers who stayed behind wanted to resist, but they had no time to react and were dispersed by them.
However, they did not kill indiscriminately.
After Zhu Chengjun led his army into Doubei Town, he found a granary in the town with a clear goal - part of the grain and grass brought by the King of Yue this time was sent to the northwest granary as bait, and a large part of it was requisitioned from civilian houses and stored in Doubei Town - Zhu Chengjun led a team of people to rush in and set the place on fire.
Flames shot up into the sky.
It is said that the soldiers defending the city in the south of Yongzhou could see flames coming out of Doubei Town and a column of black smoke rising into the sky like a roaring black dragon.
So they immediately struck the warning gong and spread the news on the city wall.
Everyone was shouting with all their might: Doubei Town has been captured!
The shout soon reached the north of Yongzhou City.
The Yue army that was attacking the north gate here heard the news immediately. They were terrified. Although they didn't know what had happened, when they heard that their base camp had been captured, they had no intention of continuing to attack Yongzhou City. In addition, the north of Yongzhou City had been defended for a long time, and they missed the opportunity. They started attacking after the city gate was closed. Naturally, they got half the result with twice the effort, and suffered many casualties, but they still failed to open the north gate of the city.
Therefore, under such double pressure, they had no choice but to retreat and speed up their pace to Doubei Town, hoping to return to support and save their base camp.
But when they rushed back, the granary had been burned through, and Zhu Chengjun had already escaped unscathed.
Of course, this is all later.
Although Li Wushang did not see all this with his own eyes, he could already imagine what kind of desperate situation Doubei Town, where he had transferred the seriously ill people, would fall into. Those civil and military officials who were originally brought here by him to witness his victory would only witness the heroic figure of a mere ten-year-old prince of Yan State. They would be shocked and frightened.
Then, for the next few decades, the fear of tonight will always accompany them. From now on, no matter what he wants to do to Yan Country, they will definitely oppose it.
And this is Zhu Feng’s purpose tonight.
He did not want to defeat himself, but to defeat the entire Yue State's tough attitude towards Yan State, and to make the people of Yue State always fear Zhu Chengjun and Yan State.
Li Wushang bit his teeth so hard that they almost broke.
He said solemnly: "I lost."
Zhu Feng looked at him calmly and said, "No, you didn't lose."
“…”
"Tonight, as the king of Yue, you still win."
“…”
"You still used some of the food as bait to lure my men into the trap. They were indeed surrounded and defeated by you."
“…”
“We each have our wins and losses.”
Li Wushang gritted his teeth and sneered, "Is this the respect you give me?"
“…”
"You didn't want to fight us from the beginning. You just wanted to establish your son's prestige. But because I wanted to fight, you traded a victory for this loss. Ultimately, you wanted peace talks."
Zhu Feng looked at him for a while and said, "You are no match for me."
This sentence also has two meanings.
One meaning is that he did not want to be hostile to the State of Yue, so the two sides were not opponents.
The second meaning is that Li Wushang was "raised" by him, so every move of the new king of Yue was in his eyes, and he could never escape his control.
Li Wushang, you can never beat him!
Hearing this, Li Wushang's face turned pale, but his eyes turned bloodshot in an instant. He gritted his teeth and stared at Zhu Feng. The angry light that flashed from his wolf-like eyes almost poked a hole in Zhu Feng's body.
But Zhu Feng's expression didn't change from beginning to end. He just waved his hand lightly.
Lu Linchuan and others who were originally standing at the door of the granary immediately rode their horses to the side, and the Yue soldiers standing in front of them seemed to be oppressed by an invisible pressure at this time. They watched these people leave, but no one tried to stop them. They bypassed Li Wushang and others and walked behind Zhu Feng.
Li Wushang said in a deep voice: "Do you think this is the end?"
Zhu Feng raised his head and glanced at him calmly, "What else do you want?"
Li Wushang said, "I'm not willing to accept this."
“…”
"I want to try again—"
As soon as he finished the last word, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled out a long sword hanging on the saddle, and at the same time spurred his horse forward. The horse under him galloped towards Zhu Feng like an arrow.
"His Majesty!"
No one expected him to suddenly rush out. Even Chen Wenxiao behind him shouted, but it was too late. Fang Buyuan and Ying Shao who followed Zhu Feng were also shocked. Fang Buyuan hurriedly rode his horse over to block Zhu Feng, but saw Zhu Feng hold him back with a hand.
Fang Buyuan asked, "Your Majesty?"
Before he could finish his words, he heard a "cang" sound. Zhu Feng stretched out his long arm and directly pulled out the knife from his waist. At the same time, he shook the reins and rushed out.
At this moment, the troops on both sides were all stunned.
They had not received the order to charge, so naturally they could not act rashly. They could only watch as the kings of the two countries rode their horses at full speed, and they collided with each other in an instant like two lightning bolts.
Then there was a crisp sound that pierced the clouds and split the rocks.
A spark flew when the swords in the two men's hands collided. The long sword in Li Wushang's hand was forcibly cut off, and the tip of the sword flew out with a clang and stuck into the ground.
In just a flash, the two horses passed each other.
But at that moment, Li Wushang suddenly grasped the hilt of the dagger, turned sideways on the horse's back, stretched out his long arm in a huge arc, and the blade of the dagger pierced straight into the heart of Zhu Feng on the other horse's back!
