Chapter 403: Transactions(1/2)
"Great Ghost Lord, when you sent out troops, did you ever think about where you would end up now?" Sitting opposite Pu Gui, Xiao Cheng said with a smile, a look of pride on his face that could not be concealed.
Pugui took a deep breath and nodded: "You win. I didn't expect you to be so courageous, nor did I expect Dafang City to be breached so easily. Xiao Erlang, you can tell me what you want now."
As long as I have the alliance under the city, I can always comply with it."
Xiao Cheng nodded, pointed to the table full of fine wine and delicacies, and said: "Look, I asked your chef to make you so many delicacies. Eat, and then go on your way! As the leader of a country, this is your
The decency it deserves."
Pu Gui almost couldn't believe his ears, "You, you want to kill me?"
"Otherwise?" Xiao Cheng said: "You can't say that I went through all the trouble and risked hundreds of miles to attack the city just to have a drink with your big ghost master, right?"
"Even if you destroyed Dafang City, have you ever thought about whether you can leave easily?" Pugui stared at the other party with wide eyes and said: "Don't talk about Gulan, Bijie, Huihuizhou and other places, I, Luo's Ghost Country, can't leave easily."
There are a large number of troops stationed on the outskirts of Dafang City. I am afraid they have heard the news at this time. They are gathering manpower and will be here soon. Can you get out without me?"
"Whether I can get out or not, that's my business!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "Master Ghost, I don't need you to worry about it now."
"Why do you have to kill me?" Pu Gui said: "I have already given up. Wouldn't it be more beneficial to you if I am alive?"
"I can get more benefits if you die!" Xiao Cheng said.
"If I die, the entire Luo Ghost Country will be in chaos. What good will it do to you?"
Xiao Cheng said nothing and just smiled.
Pugui suddenly reacted and couldn't help but look sad.
"What you want is chaos in Luo's Ghost Country, right?"
"The Great Ghost Lord is right. The Luo Ghost Kingdom has been established for more than a thousand years. Although it has gone through many changes, it has always been entrenched in the land. It can be said that it is deeply rooted." Xiao Cheng said: "Originally, I didn't want to move so quickly.
Yours, among my goals, you actually ranked second. But I didn’t expect that you actually offended me first, so there’s nothing to say about it.”
"If it weren't for the King of Chu, how would I want to get involved in your affairs!" Pugui sighed.
Xiao Cheng laughed: "There is no way for misfortunes and blessings, only people bring it to themselves. Big Ghost Lord, if you weren't blinded by the other party's promise, how could you agree to this easily! Since you have already been on the gambling table, then
It’s just a matter of willing to admit defeat.”
"If you can spare my life, I am willing to surrender to you Xiao Erlang, how about that?" Pu Gui tried his best to persuade the other party: "With me here, you can easily hold the entire Luo family ghost master in your hands."
Xiao Cheng flatly refused: "Wrong, what I want is a Luo Ghost Country without ghost masters. You can even say that I am ready to sweep the name Luo Ghost Country into the trash heap of history. In the future, it may appear here
There will be states and counties, but there will be no more Luo ghost kingdom."
Seeing the lifeless look of the other party, Xiao Cheng continued: "So, you must die! Since I want to do this, how can I tolerate the Luo Ghost Kingdom still having a leader alive! Once you die, the entire Luo Ghost Kingdom will
The country is falling into chaos and division. Only in this way can I calmly attack them, defeat them one by one, and then bring them under my command one by one!"
"I still have a son!" Pugui said sharply.
"That's right, but Ji Huo was defeated in Puding this time." Xiao Cheng smiled: "I don't know if he can escape from my subordinates alive. But even if he escapes, a person whose strength is in shambles
Young Master of the Ghost Kingdom, how can you subdue your unruly subordinates?"
"Even if Puding loses, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Juzhou, as well as the support of the King of Chu. As long as Ji Huo and Tang Nu come together, they can still subdue everyone. Xiao Erlang, even if you kill me,
It's not easy to swallow up my big ghost country." Pugui roared angrily.
"I'm afraid the people from Juzhou won't be able to come back!" Xiao Cheng said: "You know, they are probably going to get angry at this moment."
"Impossible. An Ran is mature and prudent. If he knew something happened in Dafang City, he would definitely seek to join Ji Huo first."
Xiao Cheng sat down, looked at Pu Gui who was a little embarrassed, and said: "Great Ghost Lord, do you know that people's hearts are unpredictable?"
"What do you mean?"
"Because at this moment, in Juzhou, another noose is being put around General An Ran's neck!" Xiao Cheng said: "Tang Nu's army will join forces with our troops to annihilate An Ran's troops in one fell swoop."
Pugui couldn't help but laugh.
"What a clumsy estrangement plan. Who in the world doesn't know that the King of Chu and your Xiao family are mortal enemies."
"They are mortal enemies, but that doesn't stop us from cooperating when we should!" Xiao Cheng spread his hands: "In any case, Luo's Ghost Country will become the official territory of the Song Dynasty. This is also the opening up of territory and territory for Chu.
The king needs such merit. Aren't the people in the world comparing him with King Jing and thinking that he is far inferior to King Jing? So, if this merit is delivered to his door, he will definitely want it, right?"
Pugui gasped, his eyes getting redder and redder.
"He wants fame, I want real money!" Xiao Cheng said calmly: "As you know, in the past two years, I have been forced to hide in the dark. Some things are really inconvenient to do, so, with the help of
I also want to take this opportunity to talk to the court again. Luo's Ghost Country is my bargaining chip. I have returned to the center of this stage, just to use you as a stepping stone. I want to give you this great gift. King Chu
I will definitely accept it."
"You, you..." Puguiji pointed at Xiao Cheng, his eye sockets bursting and bleeding.
"Great Ghost Lord, this is the time and the momentum!" Xiao Cheng said: "You want to be a chess player, but in the end, you are just a chess piece, a pawn crossing the river. At this time, the chess player
, must give up everything, that Zhao Yuan is the best at sizing up the situation, knowing that this is the only way they can stop losses, so you don't have to count on Enron or even Jihuo, they will never come back."
Pugui slumped down to the ground.
"Great Ghost Lord, please enjoy it. This is the last dignity I will give to the Lord of a country." Xiao Cheng stood up, turned around and walked out. Two warriors at the door immediately stepped into the door, pressing their hands on the handles of their swords, staring eagerly.
He looked at Pugui.
With tears in his eyes, Pugui picked up the wine pot, put the spout on it, and raised his head to drink.
After drinking a bottle of wine in one go, Pugui arranged his clothes and combed his hair, then sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and waited to die.
Within a moment, blood began to pour out of Pugui's mouth, nose, ears, and eyes at the same time.
His whole body began to twitch, and he tried his best to push himself back tightly against the wall, allowing himself to remain in a cross-legged posture until there was no breath left.
A raging fire broke out in the palace of Luo's Ghost Kingdom, and all the royal family members were hacked to death by Fan Yifei before Pu Gui's death.
Guliu
"Let's go, now it's our turn to escape!"
Xiao Cheng tightened the girdle around his waist and smiled at Gu Fan Yifei and said to Han Qi.
After running for hundreds of miles, there was another big battle. There were more than a thousand warriors, but now there were only less than 800 left.
The beaten Luo Ghost Kingdom will soon come to its senses. After all, this is the center of their rule. Around Dafang City, there are countless tribes from the Ghost Kingdom, as well as other powerful people.
Powerful people and others who escaped from Dafang City must be struggling with their strength to prepare for a counterattack at this moment.
Pugui is dead, so whoever can defeat the surprise army led by him, or even capture or kill him, will undoubtedly have the upper hand in the subsequent struggle for power and have a greater say.
Therefore, next, although Pugui dies, An Ran, the general of the Luo Ghost Kingdom who is on the front line, will also die, and even Ji Huo will also die.
But for Xiao Cheng, it was the most dangerous moment.
When we came here, the journey for hundreds of miles was silent and smooth sailing. But when we came back, it was destined to be a thorny and extremely dangerous journey.
Juzhou City.
The two armies are still facing off.
Yang Wanfu commanded 5,000 Tianwu Army and Tiannan Army, relying on Juzhou City, and fought fiercely with his opponents for nearly half a decade.
Tang Nu, An Ran commanded more than 25,000 coalition forces, which had an absolute advantage in numbers, but the Qianzhou army had an absolute advantage in equipment and morale, and was backed by the city wall. The two sides were in a stalemate for a while.
No less.
The ability of the Qianzhou army to fight was far beyond the imagination of Zhao Yuan, Tang Nu and others.
Originally they were just some Fan soldiers from Jiyi Prefecture who could not stand up to the challenge, but now they have become a tough nut to crack!
Zhao Yuan was running around this time. He originally wanted to persuade Bozhou, Sizhou and other powerful people to defect to the King of Chu, and then everyone would attack in groups to completely capture Xiao Cheng and eliminate this unstable factor, but the effect was really not good.
.
The old man Yang Qing was determined to keep himself out. The Zunyi Army responded enthusiastically, but now he was restrained by the Bozhou Army and did not dare to move. He was afraid that as soon as he left, he would be attacked by the Bozhou Army.
It would be unjust to overthrow the old man's nest. As for Sizhou, although he persuaded some elders, with the support of the family leader Tian Chou, he just agreed to stand still and sit back and watch.
However, despite being disappointed, Yueyuan still felt that the troops on the front line were enough to defeat Xiao Cheng, but the fight would be a little more difficult.
Until a man named Sun Jing suddenly visited.
Zhao Yuan knew this person.
Sanshui Sun Jing, a guy with very good medical skills, had a very high reputation among the people in southwestern Guizhou. Later, when Xiao Cheng entered Guizhou, this man defected to Xiao Cheng.
Zhong Zhong has made great contributions and is now one of the most useful people under Xiao Cheng.
"Mr. Sun is famous all over the south. Zhao has admired him for a long time, but we have never had the chance to meet him. Today I finally get to meet him. I'm so lucky, so lucky!" Zhao Yuan invited Sun Jing in, and his face was full of joy.
Sun Jing, however, had a solemn look on his face. He was the kind of person who worked sincerely. He had always hated Zhao Yuan, a guy with deep scheming intentions who specializes in planning ruthless strategies. However, now that he has a heavy responsibility, he can only
You can compete with your opponent in vain.
"I'm here specifically to discuss a business deal with Mr. Zhao." Sun Jing glanced at the general with a tuft of hair on his face next to him. That should be Tang Nu, the enemy's top general.
"Are Xiao Erlang ready to surrender? Then Mr. Sun should tell General Tang and General An that I am just a guest!" Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
Sun Jing snorted coldly: "Mr. Zhao, I know your true identity, so why are you pretending to be pretentious? Xiao Dianping knows very well that you are the one who calls the shots here. General Tang Nu Tang is also the King of Chu.
A lackey, no, no, no, he is a lackey under Cui Ang."
