Yancheng is not an unusual place within the boundaries of Liangzhou. The city is not too high, and the overall defense situation is not very good. In fact, the reason why the lord of Yancheng, Zhangwu, is able to stay in the current situation is
The reason why Liangzhou has gained a foothold in such a chaotic situation is simply because Chen Jun did not really want to defeat him. In today's troubled times, it actually takes a good time to truly gain a foothold.
Yes, after all, it requires a lot of courage to fight against a very powerful enemy. I have to admit that Zhangwu is very lucky. At this time, he is relying on Chen Jun not to attack Yancheng.
Only then can he gain a foothold here, but the problem is that Chen Jun's patience is also limited, and Zhang Wu himself knows this very well.
Zhangwu is actually not a fool. The reason why he chose to betray Chen Jun was because he found that Chen Jun was a purely mean and ungrateful person. Following such a monarch is basically seeking death. Especially soon.
What happened before confirmed that Zhangwu's previous idea of betraying Chen Jun was correct. Liu Liang's death also had a great impact on Zhangwu. First of all, he no longer had the sense of superiority he initially maintained.
Previously, he believed that in the entire Liangzhou territory, at most, only Chen Jun's forces needed attention. Although there were rebel forces in other places, and they seemed to be very powerful, in fact they were not.
It's somewhat worthy of attention. After all, in his opinion, the rebels are just the rebels, just a group of rabble without power.
But after the fall of Beiliang City, Zhangwu had more or less changes in his thinking about these rebel forces. At least he no longer thought that all these rebel forces were worth mentioning as before. At least
He also truly saw the strength of these rebel forces. They could actually capture Beiliang City. If those rebel forces were targeting Yancheng instead of Beiliang City, Zhangwu thought that he should be the defender.
It can't be lived, because there are only 10,000 Xuanshi in Yancheng. Compared with Beiliang City, there is really no comparison. At least Beiliang City used to be the capital of Liangzhou, and those who were stationed in Beiliang City
There are also a lot of Xuanshi. It can be said that if Yan Cheng and Beiliang City were to compete in strength, Beiliang City would definitely be able to easily defeat Yan Cheng.
And because of this situation, when the strength of Yancheng was far lower than that of Beiliang City, when those rebel forces captured Beiliang City, Zhangwu naturally could not ignore the situation of these rebel forces. But then as
Chen Jun sent an army of 100,000 Xuanshi soldiers to go out, and Zhang Wu's mood actually became more complicated. He knew that besides Chen Jun's intention to wipe out the rebel forces in Beiliang City in one fell swoop, there was another reason.
, that is, in order for him to truly realize the gap in strength between himself and the Liangzhou Princess. Before, Chen Jun did not attack Yancheng just because Yancheng still belonged to Chen Jun. At least Zhangwu did not dare to do so openly.
announced his betrayal, under such circumstances, Chen Jun naturally did not want to take the initiative to send an army of Xuanshi to attack a city that at least still belonged to him.
Chen Jun really felt helpless this time. On the one hand, the powerful combat power he displayed was really shocking. After all, if an army of 100,000 Xuanshi were really sent to Yan
If the city came to attack Yancheng, it might even be possible to make the magicians in Yancheng surrender directly in one day. This would definitely be a very satisfying victory. However, Chen Jun did not do this. Of course, it was not because Chen Jun did not want to
To deal with Zhangwu, Zhangwu really had a very accurate understanding of Chen Jun's character. At that time, Chen Jun's idea was definitely to shock Zhangwu before the war. If Zhangwu could realize the differences between the two sides,
If there is a huge gap in strength, then it is naturally the best. Under such circumstances, it would be a good result for Zhangwu to directly choose to surrender.
But if Zhangwu had not chosen to surrender at that time, then on the battlefield, Chen Jun would definitely use the most direct force to solve the problem, but no one thought that the final situation would turn out like this. I have to admit that on the battlefield,
Zhangwu really felt that the situation was very dangerous at that time. After all, he also knew that Chen Jun would never be ambiguous on the battlefield, and he had never had any tenderness towards his subordinates. Everything was so-called.
The rewards and punishments are clear, but the real situation is that he rarely rewards some people, but the punishments are really fierce. For example, in this battle, no one thought that Liu Liang would be defeated in the end, not even Zhang Wu
This was all unexpected. He was constantly waiting and watching, and was even ready to surrender at any time.
But the final situation is really amazing. Liu Liang was not only defeated, but also almost all of the 100,000 Xuanshi army were killed. Even Zhangwu had never thought of such a situation before. His previous thought was just forget it
Even if Liu Liang is defeated, he will definitely not be seriously injured, and in order to vent his anger, he will definitely come to Yancheng to cause trouble for himself on the way back. If that is really the case, Zhangwu will
Naturally, he would choose to escape rather than surrender. This can be regarded as his understanding of Chen Jun's extremely weird character. If the battle of Beiliang City was victorious, Zhangwu's surrender at the last moment would actually be seen.
A good thing, at least this proves Chen Jun's greatness, and it also proves that Zhang Wu understands practical matters and does not continue to do stupid things.
But if the battle of Beiliang City fails, what Zhangwu has to do is not to surrender but to escape directly. Chen Jun will never allow anyone to surrender when he fails. This is also true of him.
Quite narrow-minded, but Zhangwu never thought before that Liu Liang was actually defeated in the end, but the defeat was extremely complete. His army of 100,000 Xuanshi was almost exhausted, and the result was that these people came back.
On the way, he actually had no ability to attack him again, and Yan Cheng gained a lot of safe time. And judging from the situation at the time, Zhang Wu thought that he was already absolutely safe. This was not the case.
What a blindly optimistic idea, but it really should be like this, because Chen Jun is no longer able to go to war.
After all, Zhangwu himself is Chen Jun's subordinate. He naturally knows the situation in Liangzhou very well. Under such circumstances, he also knows who the biggest enemy Chen Jun faces every day. He wants to fight against Muzhou's enemies.
Naturally, there can be no accidents in the confrontation. If a large number of black men are transferred away, then when the black men from Muzhou suddenly attack the capital of Liangzhou, there will definitely be no strong force to resist.
Such a situation will never happen, so now Chen Jun himself no longer has the strength to take the initiative to go to war, which means that now Zhangwu can be regarded as absolutely safe as his own emperor in Liangzhou. After all, at this time
Chen Jun didn't have the ability to attack him again, so he naturally thought that he could sit back and relax here.
After all, for him, his biggest enemy is just Chen Jun. Apart from Chen Jun, he doesn't think anyone else can hurt him, but he has to admit that this is just his previous thought. When Liu Liang is defeated
After that, and after the defeat, Zhangwu suddenly realized a problem, that is, the strength of the rebel forces seemed to be much stronger than before. Before that, he always thought that the rebel forces were no more than
It was just a group of rabble. How could real talents hang out in such a ragtag Xuanshi army? But at this time, what Li Badao and the others did made Zhang Wu suddenly realize that the power of these rebel forces
The power is now very powerful, and may even threaten oneself, but it is only a threat.
The reason why Zhangwu does not choose to cooperate with the rebel forces now is not only because he does not want to be resented by Chen Jun, but also because he still does not take these rebel forces seriously. After all, in his opinion, these people are really
It's not worth mentioning. Although they can defeat Liu Liang, Zhang Wu thinks that this is just Liu Liang being very stupid in this battle, because in fact, this battle can only be explained by Liu Liang's stupidity.
In addition, there is really no good way to explain why the army of 100,000 Xuanshi lost to the rebel Xuanshi in this battle. At this time, what Zhang Wu was thinking about was naturally those rebel forces in this battle.
His vitality must have been severely damaged, otherwise, how could he have started doing business immediately after conquering the territory, instead of continuing to make the people there surrender.
This situation illustrates one point very well, that is, these people are really not strong enough, so of course there is nothing worthy of attention at this time. At any time, Zhangwu values the true strength the most.
, in his opinion, only the resources and force in his hands are the most important, and other things are insignificant. At this time, this is how he looks at the rebel forces. He just thinks that those who only know
The Xuanshi who earn Xuanjing really have no threat at all. If they really have the ability to conquer this place, how can they come here to do business with them at this time? It is precisely because of this idea
The support is in Zhangwu's heart, so this situation occurs now.
Just when Zhangwu was thinking about this, his subordinates suddenly came to report that a caravan had just entered Yancheng and was doing business in Yancheng. Such news made Zhangwu immediately become very interested.
He had clearly rejected the request of the so-called demon hunting army caravan to enter the city before. After all, the resources in Yancheng had always been controlled by Zhangwu, because in his opinion, this was the only way he could let him
The resources in his hands have become more and more, but under such circumstances, the caravan of the demon hunting army wants to enter here to rob his own resources. Such a situation is naturally equivalent to robbing his own lifeline. After that, he
The reason why he can control the Xuanshi and the people in Yancheng so tightly is because he has a lot of resources.
And his resources come from the fact that anything that the Xuanshi and the people here want to trade must go through his hands. It is precisely because of this that after everything passes through his hands, it will naturally be
Increase the price a lot, and in this case, of course there is no crisis at all. Obviously, the last thing Zhangwu wants to hand over now is the power in his hands of such resources. He knows,
Only by grasping this ability can he have more resources in his hands, and then use these resources to make more Xuanshi work for him. The reason why he dares to confront Chen Jun now is because of this
At one point, the Xuanshi under him naturally got more Xuanjing than Chen Jun's men. At this point, he was already in an invincible position.
After all, everyone knows very well that the Xuanshi in Xuanlong Realm basically only recognize Xuanjing. Whoever has more Xuanjing will naturally attract more Xuanshi to come and seek refuge. In such a situation,
Under such circumstances, Chen Jun's advantage is naturally gone. It can even be said that Chen Jun has almost no advantage at all, because his subordinates are always short of Xuan Jing, and sometimes there is even no Xuan Jing at all.
, this approach has already caused public outrage, but because he himself is not aware of this, and he does still have a group of diehard loyalists, so he is still working hard to maintain this situation, which means he can persist.
But once you actually encounter a force with enough mysterious crystals, you will naturally be able to defeat them completely.
Such a situation has happened before. Zhangwu heard that during the battle in Beiliang City, the Liangzhou Xuanshi in Beiliang City even gave out more Xuanjing because of the commander of the rebel forces.
, so he simply defected on the battlefield. Although this situation seems very incredible, but if you think about what Chen Jun has done over the years, it is not surprising. Obviously, at this time,
To truly have enough resources, Chen Jun's subordinates will gradually become less motivated to fight. This is Zhangwu's biggest reliance now. As long as he has enough resources, he will definitely be able to
Let him truly gain enough advantages in the battle with Chen Jun. This kind of advantage is the most important.
But now the demon hunting army's caravan seems to be coming to snatch such a good opportunity from him, or it can even be said to be directly coming to snatch his lifeline. Of course, this situation is still unacceptable to Zhang Wu. He is now
It is even acceptable to have a battle with the Xuanshi army of the Demon Hunting Army, but it cannot be accepted to directly hand over such an advantage that has the same lifeline. It is precisely because of this that when I learned about the caravan of the Demon Hunting Army at this time,
After entering the city, Zhang Wu showed a very cruel smile and said: "Since they are so ignorant, don't blame me for being rude." (To be continued)
