Hidden Blade Chapter 180: Cui Guozhu proud of the spring breeze
The autumn rain is pouring.
The fire in the city of Rhubarb was extinguished.
Charred charcoal, cooked raw meat, pungent blood.
The three flavors came together and poured into Xu Han's nose.
It made him feel the acid water in his stomach surging, making him faintly nauseated.
Seeing that the fire was going well, he wanted to let everyone lie in wait at the gate of the city, and kill those who were driven back by the fire by surprise.
What I didn't want was that no one escaped from Dahuang City until the autumn rain fell.
The severity of this fight was beyond Xu Han's expectation.
But as the autumn rain fell and the fire went out, the shouts of killing in the city gradually ceased.
Xu Han knew that this battle was finally coming to an end.
No matter which side wins, it will inevitably pay a heavy price, but he doesn't mean to take advantage of the fire. It wasn't his kindness, it was just that the remnants in his hand were defeated, or the army that was able to defeat the winning side, but he had not forgotten that there was a big Xia Guozhu Cui Ting who was staring at him outside the city of Rhubarb. The 200,000 elite in his hand have been nurturing for a long time, and Xu Han is unwilling to break this little soldier and horse in his hand.
Thinking about this, he turned his head without reluctance.
"Retreat!" He shouted like this, and the army turned the horse's head at that time and marched towards Liangzhou.
......
North of Dahuang City.
Cui Ting, in armor, stood in front of the 200,000 cavalry. He looked down at the broken city in the distance in the rain, with a solemn expression, as if waiting for something.
After that, a soldier rushed from there and knelt down on one knee in front of Cui Ting.
"Guozhu, the entire Canglong Army was destroyed, and the Mujia Army had only forty to fifty thousand remnants." The soldier knew very well what Cui Ting wanted to know, and he didn't have too much of him. I found out the information I heard.
Cui Ting's eyes narrowed, this was the result he wanted most.
But he has never been happy in appearance, he calmly asked again: "Where is Muji?"
Compared to the fifty thousand Mujia army, he knew that the most terrifying thing was Muji, the king of northern borders who was so wise and close to the demon.
"Not dead." The scout reported truthfully.
Cui Guozhu's brows were frowned at that time, but they soon opened up again.
Although Muji has many tricks, he needs enough Mujia army for him to drive. Now that 200,000 Mujia army only has less than 50,000 remnants who have been defeated. Cui Ting believes that Muji has it. Tongtian's ability can't make any big waves.
If Muji knows practical things and submits to him, as long as he controls the military power in Good Muji’s hands, Cui Ting is confident to hold it firmly in his hands, but if the opponent doesn’t know what is good or bad, Li Yulin is The risk of blaming, Cui Ting will get rid of it.
Thinking of this, Cui Ting's heart suddenly raised a touch of pleasure.
This time he was transferred to the south due to successive defeats in the battle between the east and the Chen Kingdom. He has already been burdened with the criticisms of those civil servants and ministers in the central government. Even the emperor is very dissatisfied with him, and seems to be all right. I mean to cut the vassal, but I don’t want to take a turn for the better. It doesn’t count if Jizhou is taken, and the Daxia court is regarded as a thorn in the eyes of the Dahuang City. These achievements are there. I am afraid that when he returns to the court, I’m afraid. He had to add a big character in front of the pillar of the country, and he became the first of the three pillars of Daxia.
As for the 300,000 corpses of Xia Guonan, who has long since cooled down...
Cui Ting has forgotten everything about this success.
"The order goes on, the whole army will go to Dahuang City!" The energetic Lord Guozhu let out a shout at that time, and the mighty army marched towards Dahuang City.
......
When Xia Jun stepped into the middle of Rhubarb City.
Muji and the four to fifty thousand remnants have already formed a battle at the gate.
Even though the body has a large or small injury, even if the white armor has long been stained with blood, the tens of thousands of herding soldiers are still very powerful, and although they are tired, they do not see the slightest cowardice.
Cui Ting frowned subconsciously while looking at the white-clothed man sitting on the wooden chair.
He has to admit that even now, even if he knows that this king of Northern Xinjiang has no cultivation base and even has a disability, Cui Ting still has a vigilance in his heart when facing him. And fear.
This is not a pleasant experience for Cui Ting.
Therefore, he suppressed the strangeness in his heart forcibly, his frowning brows stretched out, and his face eagerly faced Muji.
"Thanks to the King of Northern Xinjiang, this battle helped me to take down the Rhubarb City and wiped out the Canglong Army. I will definitely report this matter to the court so that the emperor will reward Prince Mu with a good life."
In the battle of Dahuang City, although he Cui Ting gave out 300,000 troops, he himself and the 200,000 elite in his hands were never involved in this matter from beginning to end.
Said Muji assisted him, this was a clear need to grab merit.
Cui Ting has been in Daxia for so many years. Naturally, he is not an easy person, even if he wants to gain credit, he has to be secretive. In the final analysis, this is to test the attitude of the king of northern borders.
After he said this, he stared at the Northern Xinjiang King, trying to find some traces on his face that could tell the other's thoughts.
But the result disappointed him a bit.
"Then I thank Master Guozhu." Mu Ji arched his hands towards Cui Ting, his expression calm, and he couldn't find the slightest dissatisfaction.
But the more so, the more disturbed Cui Ting's heart is.
He felt that the King of the Northern Borders of the Great Zhou Dynasty, surrendered to the Xia Dynasty, and did his best to destroy the Canglong Army and take down the Dahuang City.
Cui Ting has always believed in a very simple logic.
The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.
No one in the world has anyone who wants nothing. If there is, it's just that what he wants is beyond your imagination.
Obviously, the king of Northern Xinjiang in front of him should be the latter.
Thinking of this, Cui Ting's eyes narrowed. He had already weighed in his mind whether the king of Northern Xinjiang stayed or killed.
"Although Dahuang City was taken into the bag by Lord Guozhu, the remnants of Dahuang City are still at large. I think that we should send an army to annihilate it soon, so as to put an end to the future troubles." But Mu Ji didn't seem to feel the country at all. The suspicion of Master Zhu towards him was still self-conscious at that time.
When Cui Ting heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
See you in the picture?
He thought of this, but he said calmly in his mouth: "Even Lin Shou and the Canglong Army are not the opponents of the King of Northern Xinjiang. The remnants of Dahuang City are just a few of the remnants of Dahuang City. I will report to the court and make my next plan."
Cui Ting didn't know what kind of abacus Mu Ji was playing, but he instinctively smelled an unusual smell.
As he said, the main force of the great Zhou imperial clan is Lin Shou and the Canglong Army. Now they are both wiped out, but Muji is so eager to persuade him to go south and go deep into the hinterland of Dazhou to wipe out the so-called rhubarb. The remnants of the city, this incident itself revealed a trace of unusual flavor. It is true that if something goes wrong, there must be a demon. With Cui Ting’s cautious character, it will naturally not be as good as his wish, and let the good situation come to life. twists and turns.
"Guo Zhu doesn't trust it?" But Mu Ji didn't seem to have the intention of going around with this Master Guo Zhu. He raised his head, looked at Cui Ting with his usual dull eyes, and asked straightforwardly.
Cui Ting was taken aback by Mu Ji's frankness.
"What is the King of Northern Xinjiang? How can it be possible..." At that time, Cui Ting subconsciously had to say some mandarin perfunctory, but only half of the words, Mu Ji's voice changed again.
"The remnants of Dahuang City are mostly remnants of the remnants who are defeated. It is not worth worrying about it. But Cui Guozhu must not forget that Mr. Lu is still alive among them, and the young palace lord of Tiance Mansion is also alive. Now Although the Tiance Mansion of Tiance Mansion is declining, with the collapse of the Blue Dragon Army, most of Zhu Xian's foundation has fallen. No one can guarantee that Tiance Mansion will take this opportunity to survive."
Cui Ting heard Mu Ji’s words in his ears, but he secretly laughed at the other side’s alarmist tactics. It’s too inferior. Perhaps it was because some of his plans reached a critical moment and only then had to use this method to induce him to go south. So, Cui Ting's heart became more vigilant. "The Lord Mu is serious, you and I know what kind of situation is in Tiance Mansion now, a little boy and a few bright heads, what big waves can they make?" Cui Ting waved his hand, and said casually, in the bottom of my heart. But he made up his mind and said that he would not get on the thief ship of Muji.
"Cui Guozhu is confused!" Mu Ji said with a bit of heartache: "Guo Zhu has achieved such a result in Jizhou, and the emperor will definitely value it. The world knows that today's sage is talented, and naturally will not be reconciled to this district of Jizhou. Go south. Sooner or later, this important task will inevitably fall in the hands of Guozhu. If Tiance Mansion is allowed to return to Chang'an, and when they regroup, wouldn't it be a major disaster for Guozhu? Shouldn't it be removed as soon as possible to prevent it?"
Mu Ji's words were justified, but Cui Ting, who had made up his mind, shook his head and ignored it.
At that time, Mu Ji couldn't say anything about Cui Ting, gritted his teeth, and said helplessly: "Since Guo Zhu doesn't trust him, then this matter can only be done with the remnant of the Mu family." After that, Mu Ji glanced at Mu Liang next to him, and said: "Mu Liang, send troops and horses, and prepare to pursue the remnants of Dahuang City."
"Yes!" The tall and grim man behind him nodded when he heard the words, and turned around to dispatch everyone.
When Cui Ting saw this, he had a heartbreak.
He suddenly realized that Muji's previous behavior was too abnormal. It seemed that it was just to make him feel suspicious and dare not go south, and then he picked up the plane to make this statement and led the troops to pursue it.
How can this benefit Muji?
Cui Ting thought carefully. Muji opened the Tianshan Pass, broke the Dahuang City, and destroyed the Canglong Army. It can be said that he broke the foundation of Da Zhou for most of the time. The emperor of Zhou Lao Er got frustrated. Therefore, the only way out for Muji is to stand on his toes in Daxia, but he exhausted most of the centaur of the Mu’s army, but Cui Ting robbed him of most of the credit. Naturally, he was unwilling to do so. Make Ji want to monopolize the credit for destroying the remnants of Rhubarb City, so as to gain a firm foothold on the saint's side.
Thinking of this, Cui Ting has a general understanding of Mu Ji's plan.
It's just that Muji was an old minister of the Great Zhou, and this Jizhou was obtained from Muji's switch. Then the court will reward him for meritorious service. I'm afraid this Jizhou will be given to Muji as a fief. This can appease Muji, and secondly, it can set up a model for those vassal king Zhou Mu Xinan who has the intention of returning to IndoMTL.com~. If that is the case, he Cui Ting spent 300,000 horses, but in the end he might not get the slightest practical benefit.
Thinking of this, Cui Ting's face was uncertain.
"The King Mu is right, the remnants of Dahuang City have always been cunning, let me go with King Mu." Cui Ting also ignored the attitude that he had strongly opposed before, and said uncharacteristically at that time.
Sure enough, when these words were spoken, the expression of the king of Northern Xinjiang suddenly changed.
"This..." Mu rarely hesitated. "But this big yellow city is an important town after all, if Guozhu chases after me with me..."
"No problem, I am afraid it will be difficult to gather enough soldiers and horses to regain Rhubarb City in a short period of time in Da Zhou." This time, Mu Ji was interrupted by Cui Tingsheng before he could finish his words. He was determined to win the fief in Jizhou, so naturally he wouldn't give Muji a chance to grab it.
"..." Hearing this, Mu Ji's face suddenly became more ugly. He calmed his eyes, and he was stunned for a while before he said: "Then there will be Lao Guozhu with me..."
"No, the Mu's army has done too much for Da Xia. Let the prince let them rest in this big yellow city. The prince can go with me alone." Cui Ting seems to have made up his mind not to let it go. Muji was given half of the credit, and he bluntly allowed the Mujia army to stay here, in order to prevent mutiny, and even took Muji away as a hostage.
"This..." An anger flashed across Mu Ji's face. But in the end, he didn't dare to violate the meaning of Cui Ting, who was so powerful, and he nodded helplessly, which was regarded as an answer. "Just speak frankly with Yi Guozhu."
Looking at Mu Ji's lonely face, Cui Ting's heart was full of happiness.
"Come, send orders!"
"The army goes south to clear the remnants of the Yellow City!"
Master Guozhu shouted loudly, how can you describe that arrogant appearance?
