Chapter 28: Riding the tiger away from the mountain
The quality of a cavalry is not judged by the quality of its equipment; first of all, it must be seen whether the fit between the cavalry and the horse has reached the level of integration between man and horse. This is also the most basic and difficult aspect of cavalry.<
/p>
Just by looking at their uniform movements when mounting their horses, Changsun Wuji knew that Du Jing was not lying. These cavalry were no worse than the Xuanjia Army back then and the Baiqi now.
"With such a cavalry, Li Daliang still has one thousand and nine in his hand?"
At its peak, the Xuanjia Army only had a thousand men. Li Daliang had so many in his hands? Is this an overreach, or a threat?
Du Jing obviously understood the meaning of Changsun Wuji's words, but his doubts were unnecessary. The cost of training a cavalry was more than ten infantrymen. The Liangzhou Army was a local army and its annual military expenditure was limited. How could it expand its strength so much?
.
Li Daliang selected them because they were all veterans with more than three years of military service and were valuable for training, so he was promoted to Yue cavalry. Changsun Wuji saw only a hundred such cavalry, not even one more.
.
"Mr. Wuyang County, he is very optimistic about you. How can he be willing to give up such a treasure?"
"He taught me almost all my art of war. He can be considered my teacher."
Changsun Wuji knew his identity, and he was Li Daliang's old subordinate, so he was highly cared for. Sooner or later, this relationship could not be hidden, and it was fair and square, so there was nothing to hide.
Du Jing was curious. When they arrived at Yueyang Realm, Changsun Wuji was not in a hurry to protect his precious nephew. He actually took them to an abandoned palace ruins in Guanzhuang Village and Gucheng Village.
Apart from abandoned bricks and tiles, what else is there? What are you doing here, archeology?
"This is the ancient city of Yueyang in the Qin and Han Dynasties, also known as the Wannian City. It was built in the second year of Qin Xiangong and was abandoned at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty."
"The people from the East Palace chased us here, and the assassin disappeared without any reason!..."
It turned out that Prince Li Chengqian was very angry about the assassination and refused to let Cheng Zhijie escort him back to the capital. He also couldn't trust Yuchi Jingde and Li Tai, so he sent a letter to Changsun Wuji to inform Changsun Wuji of the place where the assassin disappeared.
Find out why.
Changsun Wuji also answered the question raised by Cheng Chubi. Since chasing here, the Sixth Army of the East Palace has sealed off the area with a radius of ten miles to ensure that no one leaves during this period. They encountered no inspections when they came.
The soldiers belong to the East Palace.
The reason why these people were not touched was not that Liuli's combat power was not enough, but that Dong Palace could not do this. Once the identity of the assassin was different, Li Chengqian became very passive, so he could only ask for help from foreign aid.
Cheng Chubi didn't understand: "Is there a difference in identity? He's an assassin!"
Changsun Wuji rolled his eyes at him. Everyone in the Cheng family was really stupid. If only things were that simple, he turned to look at Du Jing.
Sighing, Du Jing reluctantly replied: "We, the Crown Prince, are worried that the assassin will come from the hands of the two kings of Wu and Wei."
"He's worried that if it turns out to be true, the two kings will bite him back, and he won't be able to explain! So, we leave this dirty job to us. We can catch someone and get the stolen goods, so that he can go back and complain!"
"The King of Wei wants to live in the Wude Palace. It's not a matter of a day or two. It really makes the prince sleepless and foodless. Let him check, will there be any results?"
Although I can't guarantee that it's 100% correct, I can't be more certain. Just look at Changsun Wuji's expression. Cheng Chubi and Yuchi Baohuan looked at each other and cursed in their hearts at the same time: "Scumbag"
.
Yes, can you not be a scumbag? If something goes wrong, you will blame your brother. Such a brother is indeed worthy of being said!
But Changsun Wuji took it for granted that the Tian family was ruthless. Isn't this how the past dynasties came to be? If this is the case, Du Jing is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. Only when he speaks can the saint be completely believed.
Well, looking at the ruins and holding Du Jing's arms, the old god said: "Sikong, when did I become a member of the East Palace?"
Changsun Wuji thought that this trip was also good for Du Jing. If the people inside were not sent by the two kings to harm the East Palace, then they were most likely the mysterious force that Baiqi was tracking down.
They are inseparable from Lawyer Pei's death. If you catch them and interrogate them, you might be able to help Du Jing find the man behind his murder. Isn't that why he came back?
Well, Changsun Wuji can bid, and Du Jing can of course counter-offer. Business is business when there is dispute and negotiation. He can sing this drama for the East Palace, but if it is really related to that force, he will participate in the entire interrogation.<
/p>
"No problem! It's not a problem at all. I believe that the prince will be happy to see it happen."
"Sikong! Tell your nephew for me, don't be too happy. Maybe it's nothing, just someone looking at him unhappy!"
After speaking, Du Jing was not polite and waved, and the hundred-man team was immediately divided into two. The fifty men pulled out the horizontal knives at their waists and followed Cheng Chubi into the ruins.
Changsun Wuji was very curious. He heard from his daughter that Du Jing liked to do everything by himself. How could he be so calm when it came to the things he cared about most?
Little did he know that Du Jing and the others had developed the habit in Liangzhou that no matter how difficult the task was, they would always leave half of the people behind as support.
After all, for big bosses like Changsun Wuji, they are just countless consumables that can be supplied, so don’t invest too much emotion. They are struggling at the bottom and are unable to resist, so they can only leave their hope of survival to their own.
Tongpao.
After about an hour of burning incense, fierce shouts of killing came from the ruins. Needless to say, Cheng Chubi and the others had found their "guest".
Seeing Du Jing sitting on the ground with no intention of moving at all, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but asked: "Why don't you send reinforcements?"
No, there is no sounding arrow, which means that Cheng Chubi can control the situation and solve the problem with the fewest people. Why use repeated troops?
Du Jing really didn't understand how Changsun Wuji, who followed the emperor to conquer the world, didn't understand the principle of "using troops without adding more troops".
Too lazy to explain to him, Du Jing just stared at the ruins. Changsun Wuji, who was a little embarrassed, just shook his head helplessly.
After a while, Cheng Chubi picked up a beard and threw it in front of the two of them. At the same time, he reported the battle situation, killing ten people and capturing one person. We slightly injured six people and killed zero.
Nodding to express understanding, Du Jing squatted down, tugged at his beard and tongue, and said solemnly: "Did you see the little old man next to you? You are not dead because he has to do business."
"And the reason why your tongue is still there is because you need to use it to tell me something." During the conversation, Du Jing pulled hard and continued: "Now, can we talk happily?"
p>
Uh, uh!
Well, you see, cooperation is a good start!
Just when Du Jing was about to ask questions such as "How many accomplices does the mastermind behind the scenes have?", this guy unexpectedly shouted at them: "It's too late!"
Too late?
What does it mean?
Before he had a chance to ask, the bearded man bit his tongue and committed suicide. There was no time to stop him.
Cheng Chubi asked curiously: "Brother Jing'er, what does he mean?"
Chapter completed!
