King Yao clearly welcomed the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce to settle in Yao Kingdom, but Xue Zongwu obstructed him, killing people, setting fires, and taking advantage of others.
Dong Rui originally thought that He Lingchuan could at most use some means to teach him a lesson.
After all, he was a general of the Yao Kingdom, with great reputation, martial arts, power, and military skills.
I didn't expect that He Lingchuan would dare to set the target directly on Xue Zongwu.
"Didn't you just say that you want to silence the Yao people? If we don't silence them, wouldn't it be better if we just slap them in the face?" He Lingchuan smiled faintly, "Killing him will not only do justice to God, but also vent our anger. Kill two birds with one stone.
, is it wonderful?”
This is so cool. Dong Rui put his hands on his hands and laughed: "Miaomiao! These days, have you been collecting clues about Xue Zongwu?"
He Lingchuan pushed the information in his hand forward: "These are it."
Xue Zongwu is a famous Yao general, the crown prince's Taibao, and a serious official in the royal court!
"You are really good at picking. All the villains we have killed together cannot match his weight alone, regardless of reputation or cultivation." Dong Rui picked up the materials and continued to read, "Massacre the city? Oh, I remember Fu
Liu Shan talked about this in ancient times. The Yao Kingdom rarely sent troops to other countries in the past hundred years, and Xue Zongwu himself accounted for several records. When he led the troops, the tribes in the north fought to the death and refused to surrender. After Xue Zongwu broke through the city, he ordered the massacre of the entire city for twenty
Seventy thousand people, claiming to leave no chickens or dogs behind!"
"That was one of those times." Since He Lingchuan was thinking about Xue Zongwu, he had already memorized his information very well. "He massacred the city three times, killing half a million people. It was truly called a 'bloodbath' in the whole city. From then on
, the tribes heard this and did not dare to resist."
Dong Rui nodded: "Old Fu said that his army is still holding a killing competition in the city. The one who kills the most in an hour will be awarded by Xue Zongwu himself. I wonder if this is true?"
"It's true. Our people asked a businessman in the city. When he returned from a long trip, he found that the whole city was dead and smelly. His wife, concubine, three children, parents, brother, and neighbors, including
All the family members who often quarreled with him died. The scene was so tragic that he became seriously ill for three days after escaping and still has nightmares."
In Panlong World, He Lingchuan was also ruthless when he led troops to attack Longchuan in Yuheng City. The Longchuan water bandits feared and hated him and gave him the title of "He Butcher". But this so-called "butcher"
Compared with Xue Zongwu, he is as kind as an angel.
"Civilian casualties are unavoidable in war." He Lingchuan himself has led troops to fight, and knows that "battle losses" are usually inevitable. Once a war breaks out, civilians are the first to suffer. "But the deliberate massacre of a city is shocking even in the Golden Plains.
"
Liu Chengshou with a stone head looked at the people like cattle and horses, scraping the ground three feet away. The ogre Zhao Guangzhi looked at the people like pigs and sheep, eating them and slaughtering them, but they never launched a massacre and killed several people in just a few days.
One hundred thousand civilians.
"Don't forget that Tu Yuanhong was also killed by Xue Zongwu. There were more than a hundred people buried with him in Tonglin Village. I don't know where he provoked Xue Zongwu." He Lingchuan said smoothly, "Xue behaved in this way.
Is it still a big deal if we, foreign businessmen, are forced to take over the helm of the chamber of commerce?"
Dong Rui then read the information: "In Shuangxi, Song Su allowed his subordinates to commit numerous crimes? What kind of place is that?"
"You know that the Yao Kingdom occupies many mines, horse farms and grain areas in the western, central and southern parts of the Shining Gold Plains. Those are not within its own territory, right?"
"Yes, hasn't Yangshan dealt with them before?" Yangshan Chamber of Commerce also needs these resources.
"Yang Shan tried to do business with them, but they were more difficult to deal with than Yao Kingdom itself." He Lingchuan stretched his waist, "These places are called 'tribute lands' and are usually divided into two types. One is the local
Officials manage and collect the products, and then pay tribute to the Yao Kingdom; the other way is that the Yao Kingdom directly sends troops to occupy, recruits local people to hoard the mines, and then sends all the output back to the Yao Kingdom, leaving the locals with almost nothing.
Can’t get it.”
"Shuangxi has fertile land and sweet rain. It is a well-known grain-producing area. This kind of place where God rewards food has had a bumper harvest in the past year, but more than 900 people starved to death. This is only a rough estimate. Some people
He was so hungry that when he saw grain trucks heading towards Yao Kingdom one after another, he started to rob them. Xue Zongwu ordered these people to be executed in Ling Chi, and then the corpses were filled with rice grains and thrown outside the city."
Dong Rui clicked his tongue: "What kind of bad taste is this?"
The targets killed by the Black Armored Army all have their own transformations.
"There are many refugees outside the city." He Lingchuan did not continue, but Dong Rui clicked his tongue twice and understood.
"Both these tribute lands are under the management of Xue Zongwu. He is like the Supreme Emperor there. If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, what do you think his men will do to the local people?" He Lingchuan walked to the window and took over a three-finger-wide ball.
The booklet was thrown on the table with a bang, and the sound was very weighty. "These are the crimes he has committed in the past ten years by conniving his subordinates. There are so many murders that one booklet cannot be finished."
"In just a few days, you collected so much information?"
"I have been keeping an eye on Xue Zongwu for a long time, and the collection work started two months ago." He Lingchuan said slowly, "He is an important target, but it was difficult to take action before. But I didn't expect that I haven't settled the score with him yet.
You should trouble me first."
"Yao people, important ministers, do evil things." He Lingchuan raised three fingers in turn, "Are all the elements in place except for killing people?"
"In terms of crime, he is qualified." Dong Rui admitted that this target is worthy of dispatching the Black Armored Army, "But how do you plan to start? This guy is a martial artist and has a very high level of cultivation. His status today is all based on fighting.
Come out. By the way, he still has Yuanli and an army!"
The more Dong Rui looked at Xue Zongwu's resume, the more troublesome he became. This man was different from the targets the Black Armor Army had killed before. To sum it up in one word:
Too strong.
Even if all the hundreds of black-armored troops were sent out, they would have little chance of winning against Xue Zongwu and his army.
That's not Zhao Guangzhi's stragglers. A few dozen black-armored troops can kill thousands of opponents.
"How about we think of a reason to lure him away and kill him?" Dong Rui's mind was thinking quickly, "Can't he run both in the country and the tribute land? Can we ambush him on the road?"
"No." He Lingchuan refused flatly, "I want to kill the famous generals of Yao Kingdom in Yao Kingdom. Only then can I achieve the most sensational effect!"
If Xue Zongwu died abroad, although Yao people would be surprised, they would not necessarily be deeply shocked.
The general will inevitably die on the battlefield, and everyone is prepared for this.
Only by making them feel unbelievable and unbelievable can the Black Armored Army become a veritable "magical soldier descended from heaven".
"Also, with his cultivation level, it is useless for us to go with more people. It will make it more difficult to advance and retreat."
Dong Rui had an ominous premonition again: "What do you mean?"
He Lingchuan pointed at himself and then at him: "How about just the two of us?"
"You keep making things more difficult for yourself." Dong Rui smiled bitterly, "Can you pick someone softer? I think the other generals of Yao Kingdom are also good. Do you want to pick a few more to kill?"
"For example?"
"Uh..." How did he know? He was not familiar with Yao Country.
"Xue Zongwu is different from other people. Killing him has several benefits." He Lingchuan talked eloquently, "It doesn't need to be detailed to eliminate harm for the people; it can make the Black Armored Army famous in Yao Kingdom, which doesn't need to be detailed;
People in the Golden Flash Plains heard that the awe of the 'Nine Nether Emperor' would truly come into their hearts; he was also the sword that King Yao wielded against the surrounding forces, and it was the fastest and sharpest, able to hit wherever he pointed.
.If you break this sword, the power of Yao Kingdom will be affected."
"Secondly, he is also the general guarding the border in the northern border of Yao Kingdom. With him in charge, the Luodian people in the north will not dare to go south to harass. If he dies, the border issue will reappear. You also know the virtues of the Luodian people.
.”
Dong Rui leaned on his head, tired of reading the information, and simply asked He Lingchuan: "Is there any more?"
"Xue Zongwu was very loyal to King Yao, so he had some unpleasantness with Qingyang. He was arrogant by nature, and Qingyang made him suffer a lot. He also used Xue Zongwu, a confidant of King Yao, to give other ministers a blow.
." He Lingchuan chuckled, "His death may arouse some suspicion. After all, not everyone can kill Xue Zongwu."
"It's true, what are you going to do?" Dong Rui rubbed his face, "We have an insider in Xue Zongwu's army. How can we know his whereabouts?"
"It's not difficult to determine his whereabouts." He Lingchuan already had a clue. He stood up and opened the sand table. "He will definitely attend Yao Wang Shoudian."
"This is an opportunity. How do you know when he will set off and where he will pass?"
"This man is so proud of his achievements that the military honor guard will escort him to Jiangwangguan and then back to the northern border." He Lingchuan pointed to the sand table, "The momentum along the way is so great that even a blind person would not be able to follow him; but starting from Jiangwangguan, well
, this is also the rule of the Yao Kingdom, the vassal general can only bring a maximum of two hundred elite troops into the pass to the capital."
If there is no order from the king, the general in command cannot lead the army back to the capital. This is an iron rule in every country.
If he rashly leads his army back to the capital, it will definitely cause suspicion in the upper reaches and shock to the government and the public. Therefore, when Xue Zongwu returns to the capital, the number of guards around him is limited, which is a good opportunity for He Lingchuan.
"It's more than three hundred and twenty miles from Jiangwang Pass to the capital." He Lingchuan said seriously, "These three hundred miles are the range where we start."
Xue Zongwu left his territory and rushed back to the capital. This was like a tiger leaving the mountain. There must be a gap in his own security.
"Where were we then?" Dong Rui reminded him, "We are also going to the Kingdom of Yao to celebrate your birthday. Didn't the man surnamed Fan say before that he would go with you? Oh, by the way, King Yao will send you additional troops.
Guard!"
"If we calculate the day of the journey well, we may be able to approach Xue Zongwu on the road." He Lingchuan did not tempt him and revealed the answer directly, "His journey is longer than ours. We will leave after he sets off."
