Chapter 97: Tuomu seeks success, three dangers in the north
Chapter 97: Making plans by cutting wood, three dangers in the north (fourth update, please subscribe)
When the news that Cheng Yaojin lured the enemy to advance and annihilated the Great Wilderness Dynasty's 100,000 Earth-shattering Tiger Army in one battle spread throughout the world, the world changed drastically, and everyone laughed at the overestimation of one's own capabilities in military warfare.
They believe that if they provoke the Great Wilderness Dynasty at will through military warfare, they will inevitably suffer misfortune.
However, some people believe that this act of military warfare is actually an act of great wisdom and courage.
Once you succeed, you will definitely become an immortal king.
As a result, the evaluation of martial arts in the public market has become increasingly polarized.
In particular, Lin Wu once again stepped up his efforts to smear Wu Zhan, and many accusations were made against Wu Zhan, causing Wu Zhan's reputation to become even more tarnished.
Datong City.
The central place of the two northwest roads.
Here, the Great Wilderness Dynasty has amassed a total of 800,000 troops.
They accounted for more than half of the total troops stationed in the two northwest areas of the Great Wilderness Dynasty.
In the center of Datong City, a large general's mansion was newly built.
This was built for General Chai Jianyi of the Great Huang Dynasty.
Chai Jianyi, the fierce wolf general of the Great Wilderness Dynasty.
He is a rare titled general in the Great Wilderness Dynasty. He has already entered the Longevity Realm and is deeply trusted by the King of Wilderness.
This time, the 1.2 million troops stationed in the two northwest provinces of the Great Wilderness Dynasty were all controlled by Chai Jianyi.
Looking at the high-gate courtyard painted red in front of me.
Tuomu calmed down, took a deep breath, stepped forward and said to the guard in front of the door: "Excuse me, please give me a briefing, and tell me that Jing Shangguan Tuomu wants to see General Fierce Wolf."
"You wait here, I'll go in and report."
The guard in front of the door glanced at Takumu and replied expressionlessly.
After a long time, Tuomu became impatient with waiting. The guard who had gone in to report just came out and said, "Let's go, follow me in."
"Trouble."
Tuomu cupped his hands, holding back his anger and not daring to vent it.
After all, this is also the guard in front of General Fierce Wolf.
Beating a dog depends on the owner. Obviously, Tuomu didn't dare to offend the fierce wolf general for this.
After entering the huge general's mansion, Takumu followed the guard closely and walked through the twisted corridors before arriving at a luxurious house where gold and silver could be seen everywhere.
On the main seat in the house, Chai Jianyi was wearing a wolf robe, revealing his strong chest muscles.
He held two fist-sized orbs in his hands, and inadvertently, his pupils glanced slightly, looking particularly solemn.
Tuomu slightly touched Chai Jianyi's eyes, and felt a chill in his heart.
He quickly knelt down and saluted: "Takumu pays homage to General Fierce Wolf."
"Takumu, aren't you assisting Lie Yan at Jingshang Pass?"
"Why are you able to appear here at this time when Lie Yan is dead, the hundred thousand Earth Splitting Tiger Army is wiped out, and Jingshang Pass is lost?"
As he asked coldly, Chai Jianyi looked very unkind.
He got the news not long ago that Jingshangguan was lost, and he was very angry.
If Takumu can't give him a reasonable explanation, don't blame him for being ruthless.
Hearing this, Tuomu's face was full of bitterness.
He was also very helpless.
I thought that no matter how useless Lie Yan was, he should be able to hold on to Jing Shang Pass for a while.
By then, he would come to see Chai Jianyi and have something to say.
As long as he meets Chai Jianyi and talks about his plan, it doesn't matter if Lie Yan dies?
But now, unfortunately, Lie Yan is such a waste.
As soon as he arrived at Datong City, he had already heard that the news of the fall of Jingshangguan was spreading all over the city.
It made him distressed.
Simply, he was mentally prepared in advance, and without thinking too much, Tuomu responded quickly: "The Wu family's army is approaching fiercely. I expected that Lie Yan would be defeated, so I specifically suggested that Lie Yan ask for help, but Lie Yan refused."
"In desperation, I had to rush to Datong City in person to ask for help from you. It's a pity..."
Shaking his head, Takumu deliberately showed an extremely miserable expression.
Um?
After hearing Tuomu's explanation, Chai Jianyi fell silent.
It seemed that he had mistakenly blamed Takumu.
Also, that loser Lie Yan has always been brainless and likes to be arrogant.
I shouldn't have mistakenly trusted him this time and entrusted him with guarding such an important pass as Jingshang Pass, the gateway to the east from the northwest.
Thinking of this, Chai Jianyi cursed Lie Yan again.
If it weren't for his concern about his image, Chai Jianyi would have really couldn't help but curse out loud.
"Takumu, what you said makes sense."
"But, this is not the reason why you can live."
He looked deeply at Tuomu.
Chai Jianyi's eyes became cold and ruthless.
Takumu understands his subtext
In the battle at Jingshangguan, someone must take the blame.
If Takumu also died in the battle with Lie Yan and Jing Shangguan returned, Chai Jianyi would have no choice but to swallow the bitter pill and bear the responsibility himself.
But now that Takumu is not dead, there is no doubt that, as Chai Jianyi said, if Takumu cannot prove his worth, then he can only be the one who takes the blame and needs to die to appease King Huang's anger.
Takumi was not too panicked.
He had already expected it. If he was really afraid of death, he could have run away early.
Hiding his name in the mountains and fields, even King Huang might not be able to find him.
Tuomu said: "Ferocious Wolf General Rong Zhen, everything has its two sides."
"The loss of Jingshang Pass seems to be a terrible thing."
"In fact, it is also an opportunity for our Great Wilderness Dynasty, a great opportunity to capture the three northern roads in the name of revenge."
As soon as Tuomu finished speaking, Chai Jianyi fell into deep thought.
For him to become a titled general of the Great Wilderness Dynasty, it is naturally not just about his military strength.
On the contrary, his brain is much smarter than the average person.
As for Takumu, he can get through it almost instantly.
However, he needs to weigh it.
The Three Northern Paths were indeed a huge temptation, and it was impossible for King Huang not to be tempted.
However, when faced with a military battle, he knew how fearful King Huang actually was.
The last time Sang Kun died, King Huang chose to remain silent, which already explains the problem.
"General Fierce Wolf is worried about whether His Majesty will agree?"
Tuomu immediately guessed what Chai Jianyi was thinking.
Chai Jianyi did not hide his thoughts and said calmly: "Yes, your Majesty may not be willing to confront Wu Zhan head-on."
"You should also know that fighting with the Human King Sword is not as simple as you think."
Chai Jianyi has a clear understanding of martial arts.
He dared to conclude that no matter who it was, anyone who dared to underestimate martial arts would surely die miserably.
"General Fierce Wolf only needs to tell His Majesty a word."
Takumu said confidently.
Chai Jianyi asked anxiously: "What are you talking about?"
"Wu Zhan is still in his infancy, and your Majesty must avoid his sharp edges. In the future, when Wu Zhan officially establishes the country and becomes king, what will your Majesty do?"
With one sentence, Chai Jianyi woke up immediately.
He shouted: "Takumu, you are right."
"For the future of our Great Wilderness Dynasty, we, our Great Wilderness Dynasty, absolutely cannot retreat this time."
"I will definitely report to Your Majesty and go all out to seize the three northern roads."
Tuomu's words completely awakened Chai Jianyi.
Being afraid of military warfare will not solve the problem. The more afraid you are, the more passive the Great Wilderness Dynasty will be!
Only by fighting with force can we avoid future troubles.
