Chapter 3027: The life and death test is finally passed
Xu Daofu looked at Zhu Chaoshi motionless. This young general stood in front of him with his head held high, his face full of perseverance and unyielding expression. Even if he was struck by a knife, he would not let him down.
His mind changed slightly, and the dozen or so disciples of the surrounding guards had their hands on the hilts of their swords, looking at Xu Daofu. As long as he waved his hand, they would step forward and cut Zhu Chaoshi into pieces with random blades.
But Zhu Chaoshi still stood upright like this. A smile gradually appeared on Xu Daofu's face, and he nodded with satisfaction: "It's really good. I have seen your talent in running the army in the past few days. Today, I have seen your persistence again."
The determination you have seen and the will to never give up on your subordinates are both necessary for a general. General Zhu, just now was just a test for you. Congratulations, you passed my test!"
All the sword-holding disciples saluted and said, "Congratulations to Junior Brother Mengyi for passing the test."
Zhu Chaoshi's hanging heart was finally relieved. He secretly thought that he had been in danger just now and had been doing it for a long time. This was Xu Daofu's test for him. If he answered wrongly, he might have lost his head just now. He saw
Looking at Xu Daofu, he asked in surprise: "Test? What does this mean, Commander?"
Xu Daofu smiled and said: "To be honest, I really want to see if you are trustworthy. After all, you have surrendered twice before. Although Master Lu thinks that talents are rare, he wants to use you, and he also wants to tell those Jin
Military officers and soldiers, if you return to the Divine Advent Cult early, you will be as prosperous and wealthy as you."
"But I think differently from him. I am a soldier and a general. I know the kind of life-and-death relationship, the kind of relationship that can entrust one's life and one's back. These cannot be determined simply by talent.
The Divine Cult has been able to win many battles over the years because of the concerted efforts of the brothers and Taoists on the battlefield, so trust is the first priority. You are new to my religion, and the old brothers don’t believe you, and I can’t
Make them willing to serve under you. Moreover, even if you drink our talisman water, I think if you really want to protect your Zhu family, you may risk your life not to reveal the secrets of our army to them.
He Wuji, therefore, before assigning you a real combat mission, I must ensure your loyalty and reliability."
Zhu Chaoshi frowned: "Does it mean that just because I said that I am unwilling to abandon the Nankang militia has passed this test?"
Xu Daofu nodded: "Yes, because if you just want to save your life, you can surrender to our army today and leave the Nankang militiamen to escape tomorrow. Later, if we have a decisive battle with Liu Yu, if the situation is unfavorable, temporarily
When the wind goes against you, you will betray us again. Rather than causing us greater losses in the future, it is better to deal with such people now. Because what we want is a true god who can live and die together.
Teach fellow Taoists, not just those who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"
Zhu Chaoshi secretly thought that he was in danger. If he hadn't been determined and tried his best to inform He Wuji and use the excuse not to abandon the Nankang militiamen, he was afraid that if he had followed Xu Daofu's suggestion just now, his life would have been lost.
, when the time comes, he will have to be accused of being a traitor, which will even affect the innocent reputation of his eldest brother and the Zhu family, but he will never atone for his crime.
However, there was still a hint of joy on Zhu Chaoshi's face: "Since this is a test, our tactics are not what you just said. Then don't we have the navy warships you just mentioned, but we will continue to use land raids?"
Is there any way?"
Xu Daofu smiled and waved his hand, sat back in his commanding position, turned to the dozen or so guards around him and said, "Junior brothers, please step aside for the time being. I want to have a good talk with Junior Brother Zhu about getting off the military plane."
More than a dozen sword-wielding disciples bowed and retreated, leaving only Xu Daofu and Zhu Chaoshi in the tent. Zhu Chaoshi even calculated how sure he could kill Xu Daofu with his bare hands if he made a surprise attack at this time, but this idea suddenly disappeared.
He gave up as soon as he came out. Firstly, Xu Daofu would definitely ambush secret guards all around to protect him. As a commander, it was impossible for him to be so unsuspecting. Secondly, Xu Daofu himself had extremely high martial arts skills. Even He Wu
Top generals like Ji and Liu Jingxuan have personally said that they may not be his opponent. An invincible general like Master once lamented that even if he fought Xu Daofu head-on, it would still take hundreds of rounds.
, and the outcome is unknown. Now that I don’t even have weapons, if I want to surprise Xu Daofu, who is fully armed, I am afraid that if the great revenge has not been avenged, he will add new hatred.
Of course, Xu Daofu couldn't know what Zhu Chaoshi was thinking. He sat back in his seat, looked at Zhu Chaoshi, and said calmly: "The military plane I told you just now is not fake. It is still the same way."
Zhu Chaoshi was a little surprised: "Isn't it a test? How come during the test..."
Xu Daofan waved his big hand to stop Zhu Chaoshi from asking further questions: "If you fail the test, then you will be killed directly. A dead person will not reveal our military information. If you pass the test, then continue the execution. Anyway,
Your answer will satisfy me, so we will stick to the plan we just discussed, but I will send ten more elite disciples from the warships to cooperate with you."
Zhu Chaoshi frowned: "Aren't you trying to lure the enemy? Then what are you going to do with ten ships of elite soldiers?"
Xu Daofu smiled slightly: "There are five hundred elite soldiers in ten ships. They are enough to keep your life safe. Didn't you say you want to see what I do? Then this is my answer. Since you are a loyal and trustworthy brother
, I don’t want to lose a general in vain.”
Zhu Chaoshi's heart suddenly sank, and the joy he felt just now disappeared, but he quickly said: "But if He Wuji sees ten ships of elite soldiers, how can he lure the enemy?"
Xu Daofu sneered and said: "I asked the disciples of the ten boats to change into the clothes of Nankang militiamen, and began to deliberately drive the boats slowly and stupidly, attracting He Wuji to chase them. Our sect often uses this, and they are very skilled in it.
, don’t worry, but if He Wuji really catches up, they will quickly move closer to you, and in turn cooperate with you to besiege He Wuji’s main ship, because, I am very sure, He Wuji will take the lead and personally
He's driving his flagship Guojianglong to hunt down you, the traitor!"
Zhu Chaoshi became more and more panicked and said, "Then according to the commander-in-chief, five hundred elite soldiers can eliminate He Wuji? This is unlikely."
Xu Daofu waved his hand: "When the time comes, just follow my orders. Remember, if the rear team raises one blue flag, it means pretending to retreat in panic. If it raises two blue flags, it means turning back to fight. If it raises three blue flags, then
The entire army will make a surprise attack to capture the Dragon Crossing the River and the Super Stone. When you and I board the Dragon Crossing the River together and kill He Wuji, you will truly understand how we fight on the water!"
