Chapter 194 It's really ugly
"General!" Miu Mo came chasing with his troops, and saw Du Zhe standing alone on the side with a strange look on his face.
"General, what's wrong?" Miu Mo hurried forward and asked.
Du Zhe then revealed his anger and said, "Zong Yanli cut off my palm and took my sword! Just now I saw that Zong Yanli had no personal guards by his side and was trapped and fled here! This is a great opportunity for revenge."
When Miu Mo heard Du Zhe's words, she found it unbelievable. Her general was not a reckless person, so why would he suddenly have such an idea? Could it be that he was really suppressed by Zong Yanli?
Fortunately, there were no enemy ambushes here, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
As soon as Miu Mo had this thought, he suddenly saw enemy ambushes from all directions rushing towards him. Miu Mo had no time to think about it, and hurriedly led everyone to meet the enemy, while quickly escorting Du Zhe to evacuate.
Zong Yanli hid in the dark and watched the retreating Du Zhe with slightly narrowed eyes.
It was called an ambush, but in fact it was just a show.
This way, other people would think that Du Zhe really chased him out in a fit of rage and was almost ambushed and killed.
Miu Mo escorted Du Zhe to escape from the ambush encirclement, but before he could even catch his breath, he was called by Yi Tiangan and scolded.
"You are disobeying the general's orders, Duzhe, what do you want to do!?" Yi Tiangan scolded Duzhe, his face full of anger.
Du Zhe raised his eyes to look at Yi Tiangan, and suddenly remembered what Sai Ya said in his mind. Then he looked at Yi Tiangan's face, and felt a surge of hatred bursting out from his chest. He looked at Yi Tiangan coldly and said, "It's not you who lost your hand, so you don't care."
Du Zhe snorted coldly and turned his head and said, "Under General Yi's order, our army has been defeated one after another. If I don't find an opportunity to capture the king, I don't know how long this battle will end!"
The mockery and dissatisfaction towards Yi Tiangan in Du Zhe's words almost overflowed.
Yi Tiangan's face turned blue with anger. He didn't expect Du Zhe had no intention of self-reflection at all, and even turned around to teach him a lesson?
Duzhe had no intention of listening to the lecture anymore. He said that he would accept the punishment and then turned and left.
"This is outrageous!" Yi Tiangan was so angry that he kicked the chair next to him and turned around to ask, "Why did Du Zhe suddenly run out?"
"General Duzhe wanted to avenge his broken hand, and happened to see Zong Yanli mistakenly entering the army alone, so he chased him out." The soldier who had investigated the matter said hurriedly, "Deputy General Miu personally led his men to chase him. If he had been a little later, I'm afraid General Duzhe would not have been able to come back."
"Idiot." Yi Tiangan scolded. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the enemy must have deliberately lured Du Zhe. How could he take the bait?
On the other side, Zong Yanli brought his men back to the camp, and Sai Ya also told Zong Yanli about his appointment with Du Zhe to meet in three days.
Zong Yanli sat on the high seat and looked at Sai Ya and said, "Are you sure that you can make Du Zhe listen to you?"
Sai Ya knelt down below, her eyes full of gloom as she said, "All my brothers and relatives were killed by the Northern Kingdom. General, do you think you will work for the enemy who killed your father?"
Sai Ya bowed her head slightly and said, "Although Duzhe and I cannot be said to have been companions since childhood, we did know each other when we were young."
"I may not believe that he loves only me, but I believe that he will never betray his country." Saiya said firmly.
"People's hearts change easily." Zong Yanli said indifferently, "It doesn't matter if they are moved by beauty or fascinated by money."
"If Duzhe learns that Wuhuan has fallen into the hands of the Northern Kingdom, it is not impossible that he will turn to Yi Tiangan and serve him to seek eternal fame." Zong Yanli said to Sai Ya with a calm expression: "I will secretly arrange for this matter in case of emergency."
Sai Ya couldn't help but clench her hands and fell into silence as she listened to Zong Yanli's arrangements.
Xing'an Tavern is located outside the city. There are many merchants and travelers coming and going there. There are always people living outside of the battlefield.
Because it is close to the battlefield, most of the people who come to this tavern are from the Northern Army. This place is also in the territory of Jin State. With the victory or defeat of the war, it doesn't matter whether you want to firmly say that he is in Jin State or Daqian. It all depends on when the war ends.
Zong Yanli did not go there in person because her outfit was too eye-catching.
Moreover, there were many things to do in the army, and she needed to keep an eye on the battle situation on the front line, so after thinking for a long time, she called Wen Nian and Gongsun Pu.
"If we can persuade him, that would be the best. With Duzhe's help, our army will be able to invade Jin soon." Zong Yanli said as he looked at Gongsun Pu. After a pause, he said, "If this person is not trustworthy..."
"You can't let him leave Xing'an Tavern alive, do you understand?" Zong Yanli said the latter sentence to Wen Nian.
"Yes." Wen Nian lowered his head and responded.
"Go ahead." Zong Yanli waved at the two of them and asked them to go down and prepare.
Three days later.
The Xing'an Tavern seemed particularly deserted today. Passersby noticed that the owner of the tavern seemed to have disappeared, so they walked away quietly with a little vigilance.
Sai Ya changed into a woman's dress and pretended to be a couple with Gongsun Pu. The two of them didn't match each other at all...
Originally, Gongsun Pu wanted Wen Nian and Princess Saiya to pretend to be a couple, as their statures seemed to match!
Unexpectedly, Wen Nian, who had always been indifferent to everything, expressed strong opposition after hearing Gongsun Pu's proposal, and even refused it firmly.
Finally, Gongsun Pu had no choice but to change his strategy. He pretended to be a couple with Princess Saiya. It was reasonable that this "wife" looked much stronger than him and was half a head taller than him, right?
The three of them appeared at the door of the tavern. This strange "couple" attracted a lot of attention. Gongsun Pu shamelessly walked next to Sai Ya, and the two of them walked into the tavern hand in hand. The guards following behind them were played by Wen Nian, just like a traveling couple who came to the tavern to rest casually.
"This is really good wine." Gongsun Pu held the wine cup with a look of admiration on his face.
Zong Yanli is strict in controlling his subordinates. How long has it been since they last touched this thing?
You must take this opportunity to drink a few more glasses openly.
Just when Gongsun Pu was pouring himself the third glass of wine, a man sat down in front of him. His face was obscured by a full beard, and he was dressed in cloth like a warrior or a commoner.
Gongsun Pu raised his eyes and eyebrows, glanced at Sai Ya, and when he saw her sitting up straight, he realized that the person in front of him was Du Zhe.
This appearance...
It's really ugly.
This tavern must have been secretly cleared out by Du Zhe a long time ago. There was no one else in the huge tavern, so they could have a straightforward conversation.
Zong Yanli didn't know how Sai Ya and Gongsun Pu talked with Du Zhe. He only saw the three of them return at sunset. Gongsun Pu leaned over to Zong Yanli slightly, and said with a strange look on his face: "General, our visit didn't really have any effect."
"That general is deeply in love with Princess Sai Ya and obeys her every word." Gongsun Pu thought for a moment and realized that he seemed to have not spoken a word since he sat down, listening to the two of them pouring out their heartfelt words to each other.
However, from the conversation between the two, it can be confirmed that what Princess Saiya said was absolutely true, and perhaps the situation of Wuhuan was much more serious than she said.
If nothing unexpected happened, Duzhe's parents and family members should have died tragically at the hands of the Northern King.
Gongsun Pu briefly recounted the content of their conversation and talked about the current situation in the Northern Army. Du Zhe revealed a lot of things about the Northern Army, and Gongsun Pu wrote them down one by one.
Zong Yanli then summoned all the generals to discuss matters and prepare further marching strategies.
During this period, good news came from Daqian one after another. Zong Yanhongtu escorted Liu Huang to each place to deal with the disaster, which was particularly smooth. Everything was moving in a good direction. Here, Zong Yanli finally began to plan a battle to attack the camp.
She wants to cooperate with Duzhe from inside and outside to win the battle in one fell swoop.
Sai Ya put on our army's armor again, and for the first time stood beside Zong Yanli like his personal soldier, listening to this complete plan.
"General, let Princess Wuhuan hear all the plans. If something unexpected happens..." Long Feiguang felt a little uneasy, or rather, he did not trust Sai Ya.
"If something unexpected happens, it won't just happen to Princess Wuhuan." Zong Yanli was calm, narrowing his eyes and saying, "The key to this battle lies in Duzhe, not us."
"Since I want to use him, I have to trust him." Zong Yanli looked up at Long Feiguang and said.
However, Zong Yanli was never a person who blindly believed others. Even though he said this to Long Feiguang, he had actually already secretly deployed a retreat strategy with Zong Yanhongjing. If they found that something was not right, they had to ensure a smooth withdrawal of our army at all costs.
When summer came, Zong Yanli had been dealing with the Northern Army for a long time.
The evening breeze rustled the leaves, but the patrolling of the soldiers in the Northern Army camp did not decrease in the slightest.
The moon hanging high in the night sky is so bright, and the moonlight pouring down is even brighter.
"I'm really dying of suffocation!" The patrol outside the camp stared ahead and complained, "The general won't let us enter the city. It's really suffocating."
"I miss the girl in Huanxi Building..."
"Hey, stop talking, this chick from the south is just so delicious."
"Hey, then yell..."
Several grown men became particularly excited when talking about this matter. Their eyes were shining and they were swallowing their saliva as if they couldn't wait to pick up their guns and go into battle to vent their anger. However, they didn't know that while they were distracted, layers of human figures were quietly approaching from all directions in the darkness.
Just as they were getting excited, one of the soldiers stood up and thrust his hips forward, as if he was rudely showing off his masculinity.
But he never noticed that there was an icy arrow in the woods aiming at his throat.
"That little girl—"
呲!
The standing soldier had not yet finished his words when his throat was suddenly pierced by an arrow.
The people sitting nearby looked up, their eyes suddenly widened, and they shouted in panic: "Enemy attack——!"
As he shouted, dense swarms of arrows shot in from the darkness, and the few people who were showing off just now were shot into sieves in the blink of an eye.
Torches suddenly lit up in the darkness and spread from all directions. The overwhelming arrows never stopped. By the time the enemy reacted, Zong Yanli had already led his men to the enemy's tent.
"Attack the camp?" Yi Tiangan stood up suddenly. He never expected that Zong Yanli would attack the camp so suddenly. He turned around and ordered his men to meet the enemy.
"Zong Yanli, do you really think you can do anything?" Yi Tiangan was so angry that he almost laughed. He had been leading the army for so many years and had never been defeated by anyone.
"Bring me my sword!" Yi Tiangan decided to meet Zong Yanli in person.
Outside the camp, there were countless enemy troops surrounding and attacking.
Yi Tiangan looked over and lowered his eyes. He clenched the long sword in his hand and led his troops to attack.
Zong Yanli rode in front, brandishing the long sword in his hand with great speed and killing people in a dark place. Wen Nian next to him was not much behind. The two of them tore open a hole in the heavily guarded front camp, and the Northern Army defenders were forced to retreat again and again.
Until Yi Tiangan led the troops here, the bright long sword slashed towards Zong Yanli's direction.
"Zong Yanli! Do you dare to fight with me?" Yi Tiangan was filled with fighting spirit and rushed towards Zong Yanli.
"Hmph, you've come just in time." There was no fear in Zong Yanli's eyes. He raised his sword and rushed forward, fighting with Yi Tiangan.
It was at this time that Long Feiguang, Sha Haoqian and others led their troops to break through from various parts of the Northern Army camp. Having learned about the Northern Army's military defense deployment in advance, their path to breakthrough was extremely easy.
And Yi Tiangan on this side finally felt the fighting power of Zong Yanli head-on. The big knife in her hand was simply terrifying.
His arm was cut by Zong Yanli's long sword again. Yi Tiangan retreated two steps quickly and barely stood still.
"General, it's bad! Both the left and right camps have been breached by the enemy!" The messenger came running in hurriedly, his face full of panic.
"What!?" Yi Tiangan's eyelids jumped, and he said in disbelief: "How could the enemy break through our defense so easily?"
"I don't know what's going on, but the enemy troops that attacked our camp seemed to know where our weakness is..." The messenger hadn't even finished his words when he suddenly heard a huge explosion coming from the rear. That direction was - the granary!
Yi Tiangan paused for a moment and angrily looked at the soldier who came to deliver the message and said, "Didn't you say that the enemy just broke through the camp gate?"
The soldier was also dumbfounded. At this moment, Yi Tiangan saw the chaos coming from inside the military camp. The one who suddenly attacked and injured people was actually one of his own people! ?
When Zong Yanli saw the fire in the Northern Army camp, he knew that they had won the battle.
"Soldiers, follow me and kill!" Zong Yanli had no time to hesitate. He raised his arm and rushed towards Yi Tiangan with his long sword raised high.
Yi Tiangan was flustered and had no intention of continuing to fight with Zong Yanli. He just dealt with him twice and retreated into the camp. However, he had not retreated far before he saw that the soldiers of the two sides had already started fighting in the camp.
The leader was none other than Du Zhe!
"Du Zhe! How dare you rebel!" Yi Tiangan was furious. He had never expected that Du Zhe would lead the rebellion.
"Bah!" Du Zhe stood in the army, covered in blood, staring at Yi Tiangan and said, "When you ordered people to slaughter the Wuhuan royal family, did you ever think about today?"
