Hearing Zhu Can's words, Du Fuwei immediately frowned and glanced at Ximen Junyi. Ximen Junyi couldn't help but tremble. Then he turned his horse's head, turned to look at Zhu Can, and said in a deep voice: "King Jia Luo Lou, it seems that we don't need you to tell us about the affairs of our Jianghuai Army."
Since Ximen Junyi is Du Fuwei's adopted son, he naturally knows Du Fuwei very well. Although Du Fuwei is extremely strict, in the Jianghuai Army, voices different from his own are not allowed at all, but Du Fuwei But there is another characteristic, that is, he is extremely defensive. No matter what his subordinates have done, no matter who is right, in front of outsiders, Du Fuwei will definitely favor his own people first. It is precisely for this reason , Du Fuwei's prestige in the army has always been very high, and the entire Jianghuai Army was loyal to Du Fuwei.
Sure enough, after hearing Ximen Junyi's words, Du Fuwei glanced at Ximen Junyi with some doubts, then his face darkened, he turned to glare at Zhu Can, and hummed: "King Jialuo Tower , although your two armies and mine belong to separate alliances, they are still two families after all. It is better not to interfere with each other in the military affairs of our respective armies."
When Du Fuwei said this, Zhu Can's face became a little awkward. His eyes widened and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Du, I'm asking this for your own good. Don't accept it accidentally. He was a white-eyed wolf, and he was raised like a dog. When the time came, he was bitten, and he still didn’t know what happened.”
If Zhu Can was just saying some cryptic words in a weird way at the beginning, now it can be said that he is openly sowing discord, but Du Fuwei didn't take this trick at all, just rolled his eyes and hummed: "As for this matter, it is Du's housework. Du will naturally take care of it when the time comes, so I won't bother you to bother you. If you have nothing to do, you should study your human flesh recipes more, Ximen, let the soldiers all Stand down, we have done enough today." After saying that, Du Fuwei flicked his hand, turned the horse's head, and walked directly towards the camp at the rear.
"Yes, foster father," after hearing Du Fuwei's words, Ximen Junyi immediately clasped his fists and shouted in response. Without even looking at Zhu Can, he directly ordered the entire army to retreat.
Seeing that Du Fuwei and his son despised him so much, Zhu Can was so angry that his teeth itched. At this time, a deputy general stepped forward cautiously and asked Zhu Can: "Your Majesty, do you think we can attack the city now?" ,"
"Attack the city, attack your mother," Zhu Can was furious at the moment. Hearing the deputy general's words, he was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent. He directly pulled out the saber from his waist and slashed the deputy general's neck with one blow. Go up and immediately chop off the deputy general's head. Then, Zhu Can coldly glared at the deputy general's corpse and snorted: "Order the entire army to retreat. Damn it, he, Mr. Du's people are not Beat him, I won't beat him. Come here, cook this kid, don't waste it, and send the left thigh to my tent."
After Zhu Can finished speaking, he also pulled the reins and walked directly to the bandit camp. Not long after, the sound of retreating soldiers sounded on the battlefield. Just a moment ago, the battlefield was filled with loud killing cries. In the blink of an eye, it fell into silence. , on the top of the city, Lei Shimeng and Zheng Wenxiu, who were still preparing to continue fighting, stared at the outside of the city in dumbfounded, completely unaware of what was happening. However, Lei Shimeng and Zheng Wenxiu soon came to their senses. He immediately said to Zheng Wenxiu: "Old bastard, what do you think these thieves are doing? Is there some fraud involved?"
Zheng Wenxiu thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of a reason. She just shook her head with a wry smile and said to Lei Shimeng: "I don't know what happened. In short, we just have to be careful. If anyone comes, then Send a few messengers out of the city, be sure to report the situation here to the king, and ask the king to send reinforcements quickly,"
The king Zheng Wenxiu mentioned was Xiao Mian, the overlord who unified the south of the Yangtze River. However, Xiao Mian was now in Jiangling, not Yueyang. According to Xiao Mian's previous arrangement, Du Fuwei and Zhu Can's The soldiers and horses were attracted to Yueyang, waiting for the army to encircle them, but Xiao Mian did not expect that Du Fuwei and Zhu Can's soldiers and horses would reach Yueyang so quickly, which was why Yueyang guard Zheng Wenxiu and others were caught off guard.
Not to mention that everyone here at the top of Yueyang City was confused. In the Jianghuai Military Camp outside the city, after Ximen Junyi commanded his troops to retreat into the camp, he directly entered Du Fuwei's camp and asked Du Fuwei. After returning to life, as soon as he entered the camp, he saw Du Fuwei with his back to the door and his hands folded behind him. Ximen Junyi immediately took a step forward, cupped his fists and shouted at Du Fuwei: "Father,"
"The sons and daughters are all settled," Du Fuwei said lightly without looking back or even moving.
Hearing Du Fuwei's question, Ximen Junyi immediately clasped his fists and shouted: "As for my foster father, everything has been arranged. Also, after Zhu Can saw our army retreating, he also ordered the traitors to retreat. "
"Well," after listening to Ximen Junyi's words, Du Fuwei was not surprised at all. He seemed to have expected this. He just hummed lightly, and then slowly turned his head, his eyes tightened. Staring at Ximen Junyi closely, he said in a deep voice: "Have you ever counted the losses in today's battle?"
It seemed that Du Fuwei had already known that Du Fuwei would ask this question, so as soon as Du Fuwei asked, Ximen Junyi immediately replied: "It has been clearly counted. In this battle, our army lost a total of three thousand soldiers and horses. ,"
"Three thousand, three thousand soldiers and horses," after hearing Ximen Junyi's answer, Du Fuwei slowly murmured this answer, and slowly pulled out his hands from behind his back. Suddenly, Du Fuwei moved his right hand, and a The slap was thrown over, hitting Ximen Junyi's cheek, and it hit Ximen Junyi's whole head to the right. When he turned around, there was a clear red and white slap mark on his cheek, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. But Du Fuwei didn't feel any distress or softness at all, and then slapped Ximen Junyi on the right side of his face again, causing Ximen Junyi to fall to the ground.
However, Ximen Junyi did not complain at all about this, and did not even make a dodge. After being slapped twice by Du Fuwei, he remained silent. After seeing Ximen Junyi's expression, Du Fuwei Fuwei's face finally looked better. He snorted coldly, took another step forward, and hummed to Ximen Junyi almost face to face: "Do you know why I hit you?"
"I know," after hearing Du Fuwei's question, Ximen Junyi immediately said in a muffled voice: "The child should not be playing tricks in front of his adoptive father, should not be emotional on the battlefield, and should not let Lei Shimeng go and let three thousand The lives of the soldiers were in vain,"
"Humph," Du Fuwei snorted coldly again, but this time it could be heard that the anger in Du Fuwei's heart had dissipated a lot. Then, Du Fuwei snorted to Ximen Junyi: "Now that you know it, you still dare to make mistakes. Isn't this a knowing and deliberate mistake? Are you looking for death?"
"Please punish me, my adoptive father." In response to Du Fuwei's scolding, Ximen Junyi couldn't even say anything to beg for mercy. He just cupped his fists and saluted Du Fuwei, simply asking Du Fuwei to punish him.
"Criminal." After hearing Ximen Junyi's words, Du Fuwei snorted coldly and said, "If I really wanted to punish you, I wouldn't have excused you in front of Zhu Can just now. Otherwise, I will throw you directly to Zhu Can. I believe Zhu Can must have many good ways to make you survive and not die."
After hearing Du Fuwei's words, Ximen Junyi also knew that Du Fuwei didn't mean to blame him anymore, and he was secretly relieved. However, this did not mean that Ximen Junyi was playing tricks with Du Fuwei. If Du Fuwei If Fuwei really wants to kill Ximen Junyi, then Ximen Junyi will never frown. Ximen Junyi has always been loyal to Du Fuwei. Immediately, Ximen Junyi stood up straight, but did not stop. Say more.
After Du Fuwei said this, he did not continue to darken his face. Instead, he turned around and slowly walked to the door of the camp. He looked at Yueyang City in the distance and said in a deep voice: "This thunder Shi Meng is indeed a strong man, and he is somewhat similar to Wang Xiongxi. If I can win him over to my side, it would not be a bad thing. Huh, that Zhu Can, I really think this is the best in the world. He is already a smart man, and he dares to show off his superficial means of alienation in front of me."
"Father," after hearing what Du Fuwei said, Ximen Junyi immediately stepped forward and clasped his fists at Du Fuwei and said, "Since the foster father already knew that Zhu Can was not well-intentioned, why did he still join forces with Zhu Can? Is this not seeking skin from a tiger? Today my foster father retreated his troops, and Zhu Can followed suit. This is clearly intentional..."
"Intentionally using us as a shield, hum, Zhu Can has a lot of Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, how could I not know," before Ximen Junyi finished speaking, Du Fuwei had already said it, and then, Du Fuwei He smiled coldly again and said: "He Zhu Can wants to use me, why don't I want to use him? My alliance with him, to put it bluntly, is just mutual use. As long as we can lure Xiao Mian out, Xiao Mian can be brought out." If I kill him, all the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River will be mine. This Zhu Can is unpopular at all. In the end, no city will dare to be ruled by him. When the time comes, he will find that in the end, he is just Just make me a wedding dress,"
After saying that, Du Fuwei couldn't help laughing. Du Fuwei was indeed ambitious, but his ambition was not big. He just wanted to become the overlord of one party and enjoy the glory and wealth in peace and stability. As for who will be the emperor and who will dominate the world, all of this has nothing to do with Du Fuwei.
