If it were said that Taishi Ci's defeat was because he gained a false reputation, Yongzheng would still believe it.
Because Taishi Ci himself did not have a very ruthless reputation in the Central Plains, but the performance of the Wu Feng Battalion under his command was very brilliant.
But Zhao Yun still couldn't do it, and Yong Zheng didn't want to believe it no matter what.
Changshan Zhao Zilong, who was invincible in all the Central Plains, was going to lose to Meng Kun like this?
If this is the case, if Meng Kun and Zhu Qiao join forces, who in the world can be defeated?
Yongzheng stared at Liu Zhang, and he had already confirmed in his heart that there must be a conspiracy!
The last time he faked defeat was just for testing, this time Liu Zhang must have laid an ambush and was waiting for him to step forward and be ambushed.
At this moment, Zhao Yun fired a false shot and immediately ran away.
Zhao Yun really lost!
"Quick! Chase me!"
Zhu Qiao reacted extremely quickly and ordered the pursuit the moment Zhao Yun escaped.
Meng Kun became even more fierce and chased Zhao Yun himself.
The morale of the barbarian soldiers was extremely high, and they rushed forward in an instant. The speed was staggering!
"Lord, shall we pursue him?"
It was Yongzheng's deputy general again. He approached him again and asked Yongzheng if he wanted to pursue.
"No, we should chase slowly from behind."
Despite being warned by Meng Kun and Zhu Qiao, Yongzheng decided to trust his own judgment again.
As long as Liu Zhang's ambush is broken, the battle in Nanzhong will completely fall to their own side. Meng Kun and Zhu Qiao will not only be grateful to themselves, but also admire themselves even more!
Unfortunately, things still did not go as Yongzheng expected. The ambush did not appear and Liu Zhang had no backup plan.
Because of Yongzheng's procrastination, Meng Kun and Zhu Qiao once again gained little, and what awaited Yongzheng was undoubtedly the anger of Meng Kun and Zhu Qiao.
"Yongzheng, what on earth do you mean? Are you really using us two as weapons? It was okay if you didn't chase him last time, but you didn't chase him this time! Don't tell me that you are still worried about Liu Zhang's ambush!"
Meng Kun looked extremely ugly, and Yong Zheng once again wasted a good opportunity to defeat Liu Zhang.
"Brother Meng, I..."
Yong Zheng opened his mouth and was about to explain, but he immediately swallowed it back.
How does he explain? The explanation is to prevent an ambush!
"Yongzheng, we both care deeply about you, but you think so much about it. Isn't it too unreasonable?"
Zhu Qiao had long felt that something was wrong, and even suspected that Yongzheng had other ideas and wanted to use this to weaken the power of the Meng family and the Zhu Rong family.
"Brother Zhu, the relationship between me, Yongzheng, and the two of them is a lesson to be learned from heaven and earth! But this time I really feel that Liu Zhang is deceitful!"
"Then Zhao Yun is a tiger general in the world. He has no rivals in the Central Plains, but he was defeated by Brother Meng. Don't you think it's strange?"
As soon as Yongzheng said these words, Meng Kun immediately exploded.
"Yongzheng, what do you mean? According to you, we barbarians are not as good as you Han people, right? Why can't I, the barbarian warrior, be as good as the Han people? Why can't I, Meng Kun, defeat Zhao Yun?"
"Or, you, Yongzheng, look down on us barbarians from the bottom of your heart!"
Meng Kun's eyes were fierce and he kept roaring from the side. Zhu Qiao was also angry and looked at Yong Zheng with increasingly unkind eyes.
"No! Absolutely not! Hey! I was wrong in this matter. Please forgive me, two brothers! If we fight against Liu Zhang again one day, I promise to be the first to attack!"
Meng Kun and Zhu Qiao looked at each other and finally chose Yongzheng.
The power of the Yong family in Yizhou County was too great, and its prestige among the various tribes of the Southern Barbarians was also very high. Almost all large tribes would give Yongzheng face.
It is true that the Zhu Rong clan and the Meng clan are the top tribes of the barbarians, but they need the Yong clan's help in everything, which is why they are willing to raise troops to fight against Liu Zhang.
"Brother Yong, Liu Zhang has nothing to fear. Don't look forward or backward! Just move forward bravely and leave the rest to our brothers!"
Meng Kun's words spoke to Zhu Qiao's mind, and the latter quickly echoed.
"That's right, Liu Zhang has been beaten to the point of losing his armor twice in a row. He, Liu Zhang, has lived up to his reputation! Next time, the three of us will pursue him with all our strength and eliminate Liu Zhang in one go!"
Listening to the heroic words of Meng Kun and Zhu Qiao, Yongzheng was deeply affected in his heart, and even kept asking himself questions in his heart.
Is there a possibility that Liu Zhang is really vulnerable?
In other words, the big man today is no longer the big man before?
Can the power of the barbarians surpass the Han people?
If that were the case, Yongzheng would have to reconsider his future path.
Perhaps the path of striving for world hegemony and separatizing states and counties to become vassals may not be impossible!
With his prestige in Nanzhong and among the barbarians, it is not impossible to break the earth and become king, or even go to the last step!
"Report!"
A rapid sound came, awakening Yongzheng from his sweet dream.
"explain!"
"Reporting to my lord, Liu Zhang once again retreated five miles to the stronghold!"
Yong Zheng's eyes widened. This news meant that Liu Zhang was really defeated. He was afraid of the barbarian soldiers.
If this is the case, then he really missed the opportunity to defeat Liu Zhang twice.
"Brother Yong, do you know this? Liu Zhang is afraid of us and has retreated ten miles in a row! If we let him retreat again, he will retreat to Qianwei!"
Yong Zheng nodded absently, now was indeed the best chance to defeat Liu Zhang.
If Liu Zhang comes to his senses and retreats to Shu County, then with his millions of people, he can easily raise an army of hundreds of thousands. It will be difficult to destroy him at that time!
"Two brothers, we will continue to challenge Liu Zhang in the future. This time, I will take the lead!"
According to intelligence, there was a general named Dian Wei beside Liu Zhang who did not participate in the battle. If Yongzheng could defeat Dian Wei, it would mean that Liu Zhang had really gained his fame in vain.
"Okay! As long as Brother Yong can make up his mind, Liu Zhang can be completely eliminated! The two of us are also willing to help Brother Yong go north. I just hope that Brother Yong can win Yizhou. Don't forget us two brothers!"
Yongzheng was extremely relieved to hear this. Meng Kun's words undoubtedly made Yongzheng's ambitions skyrocket.
"That's natural! I am willing to share the glory and wealth with my two brothers and never lose each other!"
"Hahaha! Okay!"
"We can accomplish great things if we work together!"
The laughter of the three people resounded through the forest, and their voices were full of pride, as if Liu Zhang had been eliminated and Yizhou was in their hands.
After spending several days in peace, Yongzheng's troubles came uninvited.
Since his defeat in the last battle, Liu Zhang was completely discouraged and hunkered down in the camp all day long.
Yongzheng led his army to challenge him several times, but to no avail. Even though Yongzheng cursed him to death, Liu Zhang ignored him. This made Yongzheng, who was preparing to unify Yizhou, very upset.
They had the advantage in the field battle, but if they forced an attack on Liu Zhang's camp, the casualties would be huge!
"Father, why are you so upset?"
Yong Zheng looked up and saw that it was his son Yong Kai.
Yongkai was only fifteen years old, but he was extremely smart and extremely brave. Nowadays, ordinary adult barbarians could not defeat him, and Yongzheng also loved this son very much.
"Kai'er, Liu Zhang can't shrink out of his body. He is always a disaster, and his father is also worried about it."
