The eldest son is fierce

Tokugawa was kneeling on a futon, polishing his sword.

The handle of the samurai sword has been worn down and has an old smell, but the blade is still shiny, flickering coldly in the candlelight, giving off a chilling feeling.

"It's a pity that one of my elite ninjas was given away to Tang Yi for nothing."

Tokugawa tapped the blade with his fingertips, and the crisp sound of the sword raged in the tent, as if venting the master's dissatisfaction.

The temperature in the entire tent dropped to zero.

Zhuge Yunjue's hair stood on end, but he kept a smile on his face. He said, "This is the general's sincerity. I believe that when Her Royal Highness the Princess knows about it, she will be very satisfied with the general's decision."

"Besides, isn't the general very confident in his subordinates? If they can take Tang Yi's head amidst the huge army, it will save us a lot of effort."

Tokugawa raised his head and stared at Zhuge Yunjue calmly: "Do you think they can successfully kill Tang Yi?"

"No!" Zhuge Yunjue didn't hesitate at all.

"If Tang Yi was so easy to kill, he would have died long ago. Why wait until now?"

Zhuge Yunjue held up his wine glass and smiled indifferently: "To be honest, I still don't know how many people Emperor Yanwen has arranged around him."

"What's even more ridiculous is that this kid seems to have a knack. No matter how desperate the situation, he always manages to turn defeat into victory in some inexplicable way."

Tokugawa's eyes were suddenly filled with disdain and contempt: "Is this why you chose to give up on Tianyong Pass? Are you afraid that Huangfu Zong will be defeated and you will fall into the tiger's mouth?"

Zhuge Yunjue shrugged, this was just one of the reasons.

As for the other reason...haha, if you look through the phenomenon to the essence, you will find that you Japanese pirates are just a bunch of bandits.

What is the instinct of a robber? To rob!

Let you go to Tianyong Pass to fight, and take advantage of the fact that Tang Yi and Huangfu Zong are both injured, and then rush in to reap the benefits? The idea is good, but the problem is, if you go to fight, will you fight seriously?

will not.

If you don't know how to do it, then why bother going there? It would be better to just target the mall and tell you that you can go and rob it, it's full of beauties and treasures, so that you can always keep your morale high.

And I need your morale to be as high as possible!

"I think you're wasting your time. Wei Yuan may be powerful, but he's a thing of the past."

Tokugawa put his sword back on the hilt and said indifferently, "Huangfu Zong is a true Grandmaster raised with blood, and he has an army of 200,000 at his command. In this battle, I really don't know how Huangfu Zong will lose."

Zhuge Yunjue immediately became interested. Although he wished Tang Yi would die at Huangfu Zong's hands, his mind told him that Huangfu Zong would lose this battle. So he said, "How about a bet? The bet is... 20% of Shangzhou's wealth. Originally, you get 60% and I get 40%. If I lose, you get 80% and I get 20%. How about that?"

Tokugawa glanced at Zhuge Yunjue, a cold look flashing across his eyes. Eighty-two? Ha, I brought more than half of my troops to the southern border of Da Yan without telling my sister, so I had no intention of giving you a share.

Helping you kill Tang Yi is already giving you face!

But since you want to play, I'll play with you.

"Okay, I agree." Tokugawa chuckled.

Zhuge Yunjue nodded slightly and said, "The general is indeed domineering. Let's wait and see!"

After saying this, Zhuge Yunjue stood up and turned to walk out. "I'm going to contact my people. Next... let's have a big fight! If you win, you'll be rich and famous. If you lose, you'll die."

"Tokugawa, there is no way out for you and me."

Tokugawa looked at Zhuge Yunjue's back and sneered. "No way out?" It's you who has no way out. If I want to leave, who in the world can stop me?

However, as soon as he left Tokugawa's tent, Zhuge Yunjue's face darkened. They were all old Liaozhai, so who didn't know who was who?

You, Huangfu Zong, are very strong, but this is Dayan. Here, sometimes intrigue and trickery are more effective than martial arts.

"Aren't you, Huangfu Zong, very awesome? Let's fight again after we kill Tang Yi. If you're capable, you can fly back from the sky with all the wealth of the southern region by yourself."

If you can't fly back, then even if you are not killed on this land, you won't get any benefit at all.

"Sir, His Highness has a secret letter."

As soon as he returned to the tent, Zhuge Yunjue met the eldest princess's messenger.

Taking the letter from the messenger, looking at the familiar beautiful handwriting on the envelope, the image of the woman sitting at the desk writing a letter emerged in his mind, and a smile appeared on Zhuge Yunjue's lips.

"Your Highness, what's going on?"

Zhuge Yunjue asked with a smile while checking the wax seal of the secret letter.

The messenger quickly bowed and said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess said that if you ask, you should say that she is fine and wants her to be better. Please deal with Tang Yi as soon as possible. When you do, she will be ready to welcome you."

"Hahaha……"

Zhuge Yunjue burst into laughter upon hearing this. It seemed that this woman really couldn't wait!

But after opening the secret letter and reading its contents, Zhuge Yunjue could no longer laugh. The princess said to herself that if he succeeded in killing Tang Yi in the southern border, she would launch an operation against Kyoto.

If he lost, the day the news reached Kyoto would be the day she captured Kyoto.

This woman is crazy too!

……

Twenty miles east of Kuncheng, the new army set up an ambush position.

"Tell the First Battalion to push their minefields forward another 500 meters. There are at least tens of thousands of retreating Nanjing troops. They're like a tide. If we wait until we get close enough to attack them, our 3,000 men may not be able to hold them off."

"Order the artillery again. Don't save your ammunition for me. You must defeat the enemy's first wave of attack. I will crush their last glimmer of hope."

"Just in case, rolling logs, rolling stones, fireballs, etc. must all be in place."

"..."

In the command post, Cheng Mo, the chief instructor of the new army, was leaning over the table looking at a map and passing down several orders in succession.

At this moment, a messenger rushed into the command post and saluted, "Instructor, the commander-in-chief has ordered the new troops to abandon their blocking mission and march to the mall immediately. They must reach the mall within five hours."

what? !

Upon hearing this, the command post exploded. The order they received was to stop the fleeing soldiers from Nanjing, so why did the order suddenly change?

However, after reading the order silently, he suddenly felt as if he was facing a great enemy.

Grandmaster? Damn, why is there another Grandmaster-level enemy?!

He instantly rushed out of the command post, his voice, wrapped in his true energy, carried throughout the canyon: "Don't hide anymore. Leave one company to hold back the southern army from retreating here. Everyone else, mount your horses immediately and rush to the mall as fast as you can."

"Except for the horses, guns, and ammunition, leave all the other equipment behind. We need four hours to run three hundred miles. If a horse dies, we'll have to continue running."

"The Marshal said that a group of foreign enemies came to the mall and are here to rip us off. They all claim to be masters among masters. Damn it, who the hell isn't a master? Our new army is fighting against masters!"

"set off!"
