The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

He carefully flipped through the letter and then asked Wu Jiaoying.

"Just these few?"

"Gone?"

"Just these few." Wu Jiaoying nodded blankly, then was suddenly stunned and immediately reacted.

"Yeah, why are there only these few?"

"What about Ma Bao's?"

"What about Ma Weixing's?"

The garrisons of these two generals are very close to Kunming. Logically speaking, if troops were sent to aid Kunming, these two should be among the first to arrive.

How come there's not even a single letter sent?

"broken."

Xia Guoxiang murmured.

Ma Bao and Ma Weixing were originally members of the Dashi Army. Later they became generals of Nan Meng and were also subordinates of Li Changsheng.

When the army of Changting invaded Yunnan, the Nan Meng people were completely powerless to turn the tide. When they were at their wit's end, they surrendered to Wu Changbo, who then appreciated their bravery and made them important figures.

Surrender, indeed surrender.

But how much sincerity there is in this surrender, only God knows.

As far as Xia Guoxiang knew, these two people had been secretly colluding with other remaining members of the Nanmeng faction, and it was feared that they were still plotting rebellion in secret.

It turns out that the Prime Minister of Xia is happy to see this happen.

After all, looking through history books, there is no vassal king like Wu Changbo who has not been demoted. Keeping these people will be a great help in case the Wu vassal king falls out with the Qin court in the future.

but now……

It is said that the bandit army under the banner of Meng was recruited by Li Changsheng during his lifetime. It is so powerful that it seems that it can sweep across Yunnan in one fell swoop.

In this situation, it is difficult to say what the attitudes of Ma Bao and Ma Weixing will be.

Xia Guoxiang told Wu Jiaoying about his concerns.

......” Wu Jiaoying lowered her head and thought for a while, then said decisively.

“Brother-in-law.

“They must be hesitant.

"If they were determined to rebel, they would have led their army and joined forces with the bandits to attack us long ago.

"If you are determined to help us, you can lead your army to attack the bandits' rear."

"Now they haven't even written a single letter, which means they are indecisive."

"I'm afraid I'm just going to wait and see whether it succeeds or fails before making any plans."

"Hu, hu——" Prime Minister Xia exhaled a breath and muttered.

"It seems that in this next battle, we can only win, not lose."

"You can only win, not lose."

"Otherwise, the big thing will be gone."

They were absolutely right.

Wu Changbo occupied Yunnan for only a few years, so his foundation was still shallow.

The surrendered Nanmeng troops who were recruited along the way have not yet developed enough loyalty.

When he died, people became uneasy.

"General Ma." Inside a military tent, a man dressed like a military advisor bowed and gave advice to a large man with damaged armor.

"Please trust me for once."

"A while ago, I was observing the night sky and saw a strange star rising from the ground in southern Yunnan, with the potential to stir up the stars in the sky."

"The general trend of the world may be that darkness will return to light."

"Now the spirits of the grass and trees of the mountains and rivers have raised the banner of rebellion, first killing Wu Ni and then besieging Kunming.

"It's just what the stars are saying!"

"This is the perfect time for us to start a rebellion!"

"General Ma.

"Don't miss this opportunity, it will never come again."

"......" Ma Bao looked at Liu Xuanchu speechlessly.

"Mr. Xuanchu." he said.

"You were once the prince's counselor."

"Now that Wu Changbo has just passed away, you are so eager to persuade me to start a rebellion.

"You're doing..."

Liu Xuanchu rolled his eyes.

If there was no choice, who would want to work under Wu Changbo?

But this is the way the world is. Either you follow a ruthless, cruel, and selfish tyrant, or you serve the Jianzhou zombies that exude a rotten smell.

What else can he do?

I can only hold my nose and choose Wu Changbo.

Although neither side is a good guy, at least compared with the Tartar zombies in the capital, Wu Fan is still somewhat humane.

If you think about it carefully, it's quite sad.

..." Ma Bao didn't say anything else.

Because he and Liu Xuanchu were in a similar situation.

"Let me think about it again, let me think about it again..." Ma Bao paced back and forth in the big tent and made a decision.

"The army shall be under martial law first. Soldiers shall not take off their armor and horses shall not take off their saddles."

"I have to go and discuss this with my brother."

Just as Ma Bao was about to leave the tent, he suddenly stopped.

"Mr. Xuanchu, are those bandits really the soldiers recruited by the King of Jin?"

Yunnan is a remote and wild place with miasma everywhere and poisonous insects rampant. There are many chieftains and mountain spirits in the mountains and forests.

Therefore, it seems quite normal for Li Changsheng to recruit bandits as soldiers, but this is the number...

"I guess so." Liu Xuanchu nodded slightly.

"I once sent people to the tomb of King Jin to inquire."

"Not only did the plant and tree spirits repair the mausoleum, they also piled up hundreds of heads as sacrifices.

"Oh." Ma Bao responded sullenly.

"I'm going to look for my brother first."

When all parties in Yunnan were making their own calculations

That night, a group of elite cavalry quietly approached the outskirts of Kunming.

"Puff, Puff

The warhorse sneezed and made a low grunting sound.

"Shh——" the leading general hissed softly.

The horse seemed to have some spirituality and stopped making any sound.

Behind the general, thousands of cavalrymen, with their mouths gagged and their horses tied, carried firewood soaked in kerosene, wrapped in cotton cloth and gunpowder. They quietly divided into teams and plundered in all directions.

"General Hu, everything is ready." Soon, a general quietly came to the side of the leading general and whispered in a low voice.

"Commander Wu, General Wang has also made arrangements."

"Just waiting for the cannon to sound as a signal."

"Yeah." Hu Guozhu nodded slightly.

He was also one of the sons-in-law that Wu Changbo relied on. This time Kunming was in danger, and as one of the core figures of the Wu clan, he had to come to support immediately.

Moreover, the Prime Minister of Xia also sent a letter via carrier pigeon, detailing the method of dealing with the bandits.

The bandits moved slowly and were extremely afraid of fire. At the same time, their formation was crisscrossed and very tight, like a series of connected camps.

Then it’s easy to tell how to deal with it.

If we use our elite cavalry to lead ten thousand enemies in a deep night attack, we will surely defeat them!

So Hu Guozhu, who had contacted Wu Guogui, Wang Pingfan and others, prepared to launch a surprise attack tonight.

"Hmph." Hu Guozhu sneered as he looked at the dark shadows in the distance at night.

"You ignorant bandit, just wait and see how I burn down the alliance today!"

"Boom!!" A thunder-like explosion suddenly exploded in the silence of the night.

The rumbling sound of the cannons, like the sound of thunder, could be clearly heard from several miles, dozens of miles away, or even dozens of miles away.

"Hahaha!!"

"kill!!"

Hu Guozhu jumped on his horse, raised the steel knife in his hand and pointed it forward suddenly.

"My men, follow me to kill the bandits!"

In an instant, countless shadows lit torches and rushed towards Shu Yichao's army of vegetative people like dragons with roars.

"kill!"

The shouts of killing broke out, not only from Hu Guozhu, but also from other places.

At this moment, reinforcements from all directions launched an overwhelming charge.

but……

"It's clearly not time to fire the cannons yet." Xia Guoxiang listened to the shouts and screams coming from outside the city in astonishment.

"Why did you suddenly-

But now it's too late to think about why.

Reinforcements from all directions have gathered, and the defenders in the city must take the opportunity to break out.

"Line up!"

"Hurry up and form a team!"

Xia Guoxiang shouted.

There is still a valuable cavalry unit in Kunming City right now. If we don't deploy them now, when will we?

"Boom!"

There was another terrifying explosion.

"Ah... another gunshot?"

"What is going on?" Prime Minister Xia looked at the dark sky in surprise and doubt.

at the same time.

outside the city.

"......boom!!!!"

Accompanied by a dazzling white light and an earth-shaking roar, a huge fireball rose slowly, emitting a dazzling and terrifying light.

The scarlet fireball expanded at an alarming speed, and the surging shock wave wreaked havoc among the galloping Wu Fan cavalry.

With overwhelming force, it easily flipped away everything it encountered. The so-called iron cavalry now became pitiful creatures swept away by the storm.
