But it’s no wonder that Zhu Can was angry today. They were fighting with Li Shimin here. They were already at an absolute disadvantage and had even lost half of Hanzhong County. Unexpectedly, Xu Shiji from the south led the Wagang Camp of the Far Eastern Army through Bashan and easily conquered Devil’s Pass.
, and within two or three days, they captured Maozhu County and Champion County. The most important thing was that news came from the south that the other four counties in Champion County had expressed rebellion against Zhu Can and surrendered to the Far Eastern Army.
Now the entire Champion County has basically escaped Zhu Can's control. Although this made Zhu Can furious and frightened, it also made Changsun Wuji secretly frightened.
Moreover, the Far East Army suddenly burst out from the rear and seized the championship county with thunderous means. This was not only a matter of losing territory, but more importantly, it had a great impact on the entire military morale of Zhu Can's nearly 100,000 troops in Hanzhong County.
It's too huge.
Although Zhu Can was not aware of the ideological struggle carried out by the Far Eastern Army in the hidden field in recent years, he keenly discovered that not only the champion county was lost, but the people of Hanzhong County also had their hearts set on the Far Eastern Army. If he hadn't suppressed it with a hundred thousand troops,
, some mobs had already killed their Zhu Jiajun, just like they did in two counties in Champion County, and directly welcomed the Far Eastern Army into the city.
And this is not what makes Zhu Can the most chilling. What makes him faintly afraid is that the morale of his troops in Hanzhong County has been shaken so much that there are actually deserters in the army, and the situation is getting worse.
Things have developed almost bizarrely to this point. Although Zhu Can still doesn't quite understand how the Far Eastern Army did it, he already understands the Far Eastern Army's strategy: first destroy the morale of Zhu Can's army from the morale of the military, in order to achieve the goal.
The purpose of subduing the enemy without fighting.
It has to be said that Xu Shiji and Shen Guang's hands suddenly hit Zhu Can's weakest part.
Fortunately, the senior generals of the Zhu Jiajun were also big demons who had eaten human flesh and killed innocent people indiscriminately. They knew that the consequences of surrendering to the Far East Army would be similar to Zhu Can. In addition, Zhu Can usually rewarded his senior generals very heavily.
Therefore, the senior generals of the Zhu Jiajun had a twisted loyalty to Zhu Can.
Otherwise, Zhu Can's army would have collapsed directly. Xu Shiji and Shen Guang would have taken advantage of Li Shimin, because from a geographical point of view, they led troops from Champion County and could not capture Li Shimin's men if they wanted to seize the territory.
However, from the perspective of Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji, it would be a great thing if the morale of Zhu Can's army collapsed before the arrival of the Far East Army. However, at present, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji are absolutely unwilling to see Zhu Jiajun's own collapse.
Even if they seize territory, it will be more advantageous than the Far Eastern Army.
After the seven counties in Hedong were forcefully taken away by the Far Eastern Army, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji realized that if the army could not defeat the Far Eastern Army, or if it could not wipe out or even severely damage the Far Eastern Army, it would be useless no matter how much territory they occupied, they would be defeated sooner or later.
The other party grabbed it again.
Therefore, compared to seizing the territory, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji were more willing to severely damage the Wagang Camp led by Xu Shiji, and Li Shimin also knew that as long as they could severely damage the Wagang Camp, given the current situation of the Far East Army, it would be difficult to send another one in a short time.
More people and horses came to conquer Sichuan and Sichuan.
But with these time buffers and preparations, such as strengthening the city, just like the Shisha Village in the east of Hedong, building a large number of military forts and military forts, and then facing the strong attack of the Far Eastern Army, it will be completely different, at least every time the Far Eastern Army attacks
Each fort and village will have to pay a higher price.
For this reason and starting point, Changsun Wuji risked being eaten by Zhu Can and served as an envoy to see Zhu Can.
Thinking about his response and words after meeting Zhu Can, Changsun Wuji came to the door of the main hall where Zhu Can was.
Then, Changsun Wuji saw more than ten big white buttocks.
A dozen women were stripped naked and crawled on the ground in front of the temple, all with their buttocks sticking out. Zhu Can, with red eyes, was beating them with a leather whip.
Even with Changsun Wuji's knowledge and standards, he felt that these dozen women were very good-looking and could be considered beauties. The oldest was twenty years old and the youngest was only twelve or thirteen years old. However, these beauties had delicate bodies.
Their bodies were covered with shocking whip marks, and their bodies were almost completely bruised. Some of them were even unable to crawl. They were beaten to the point of dying, and their screams were no longer heard.
The whip in Zhu Can's hand had turned blood red, obviously soaked in blood, and was even dripping blood.
"Ma Changshi, who are these women?" Changsun Wuji asked.
The person who brought Changsun Wuji into the palace was the Changshi appointed by Zhu Can. As for who the Changshi was and what he did, Changsun Wuji didn't bother to know. The dynasty created by Zhu Can, a grass-headed king, was the same as the palace he built.
Likewise, he was nondescript and messy, so the eldest grandson Wuji, who came from a well-established family and was an official, would naturally look down on him.
At this time, Ma Changshi was looking at the dozens of naked beauties with bright eyes, and he was even swallowing his saliva. There was no trace of pity in his eyes, but a look of pity for wasting a good thing.
Hearing Changsun Wuji's question, Ma Changshi did not turn his head or look away, but replied greedily: "These are the concubines of our king."
"Princess?" Changsun Wuji was slightly surprised. He thought she was a palace maid just now, so he asked casually: "How did your king choose your princess?"
Ma Changshi said with an envious look: "Our king gathered together all the girls aged ten to twenty years old in Champion County and Hanzhong County, and personally selected them one by one. At that time, the king selected five
One hundred people, the king himself kept the most beautiful one hundred women as his concubine, and the other four hundred women were distributed to the brothers below. Unfortunately, I did not have enough official position at the time, so I was only assigned two. As a result, one of them died of illness last year."
While talking, the two of them were less than a hundred steps away from where Zhu Can and his party were, and were stopped by Zhu Can's personal guards. Ma Changshi said calmly: "Go and report to the king, saying that Li Shimin's envoy is here.
.”
The personal guard looked at Changsun Wuji pretending to be fierce, but there was no change in Changsun Wuji's face. The personal guard felt bored, so he went in to report.
Taking advantage of this time, Changsun Wuji secretly observed Zhu Can. This was the first time he saw this notorious man-eating devil.
To be honest, the man has a good skin, a tall and slender body, strong but not bloated, fair skin, angular face, and a bit delicate. He is a rare and handsome guy.
If he hadn't known in advance that the other person was the Man-Eating Demon King, and that the other person's eyes were red at this moment, with a faint look of madness, and if he had seen him on other occasions, Changsun Wuji would have found it hard to believe that this was Zhu Can.
The personal guards obviously knew that their king was in a state of madness and semi-madness at this time, and were worried about harming Chi Yu. They knelt down to Zhu Can from a distance and reported: "Your Majesty, Chief Ma has brought Li Shimin's envoy to ask for an audience."
Zhu Can turned his head and looked at Changsun Wuji and Ma Changshi, his eyes were still blood-red, with a hint of cruelty and distortion.
Changsun Wuji's expression remained unchanged, but he was secretly stern in his heart. Facing this madman, although he was fully prepared before coming, including several psychological offensives and persuasion plans, who knew whether the other party would go crazy.
"Let Li Shimin's envoy come in alone, and then all of you retreat." Zhu Can casually sat next to a dying girl who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old and crawled in a pool of blood, and casually ordered
.
"I humble my duty and obey my orders." If the personal guard encountered an amnesty, he agreed and ran out.
Soon, all the soldiers and servants in the palace left, and Ma Changshi also quickly slipped away, unknown to where he went.
Changsun Wuji saw this scene, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, which showed that Zhu Can wanted to have a good talk with him.
With this thought in mind, Changsun Wuji walked into the main hall.
"I know what Li Shimin wanted to say when he sent you here." Contrary to Changsun Wuji's expectations, Zhu Can, who had acted like a pervert just now, no longer had the slightest hint of madness. He seemed to be a different person, and it made people feel uncomfortable.
I feel extremely calm and rational.
Changsun Wuji suddenly had a baby
Zhong Mingwu: A man who has eaten a lot of human flesh and even used human flesh as military food can survive to this day. Not only does he not go crazy, but he also has more than 100,000 elite soldiers, established his own dynasty, and ruled two counties.
Such a person is already extremely rational and has no human emotions at all, and his mind is definitely not bad.
Changsun Wuji did not disrupt his steps because of Zhu Can's surprising words. He bowed deeply to Zhu Can and then said: "Your Majesty is indeed wise."
"Tell me! What is Li Shimin's plan? Xu Shiji himself is a very good warrior. Now he has joined the Far Eastern Army. With the blessing of various good things and intelligence from the Far Eastern Army, he is even more powerful. Even if he only comes this time
It's not easy to deal with 60,000 troops." Zhu Can wore a comfortable fine linen robe, and there was something like a python and a dragon on it, and Zhu Can was holding a python from nowhere.
The golden wine bottle, maybe because I was tired from whipping the beautiful woman with a whip just now, I drank it sip by sip, and the corners of my mouth and lips were blood red.
Changsun Wuji noticed that the girl under Zhu Can's butt was motionless. He didn't know whether she had fainted or was dead.
Then he discovered that the golden wine bottle in Zhu Can's hand was filled with blood-red liquid. He couldn't help but was shocked. If it were anyone else, Changsun Wuji would only think that it was wine from the Western Regions, but this golden wine bottle was in Zhu Can's hands.
In his hands, people would suspect that the latter drank blood instead of wine.
Changsun Wuji's eyes were not idle, his mind was not idle, but there was no pause in his mouth, and he said: "What the king said makes sense, Xu Shiji is indeed difficult to deal with, and the 60,000-watt camp he brought is equally powerful.
The army, but they only have 60,000 people. The combined strength of our young master and the king is nearly three times that of Xu Shiji, and we can use clever tricks instead of head-on confrontation."
Zhu Can didn't seem to be surprised by Changsun Wuji's words, and continued: "How to do it cleverly?"
Changsun Wuji took a breath and said: "Your Majesty led the army to fight Xu Shiji first, and then was defeated and fled. The Far Eastern Army will definitely pursue it. When your Majesty's men lead the Far Eastern Army to the predetermined point, our men and horses suddenly came out.
, carry out a sneak attack on the exhausted Far Eastern Army, and the king’s men will then turn around and surround the Far Eastern Army.”
"Is it that simple?" Zhu Can frowned slightly, drank the blood-colored liquid from the golden wine bottle in one gulp, then casually threw the golden wine bottle aside and hit a naked young woman on the head, causing another scream.
"The simpler the tactics, the easier it is to succeed, and the less likely they will be suspected by people like Xu Shiji." Changsun Wuji said calmly, neither humble nor overbearing.
Zhu Can remained silent for a long time, frowning in thought.
After an unknown amount of time, he nodded slightly and said, "Li Shimin is also a man who knows how to fight."
Changsun Wuji quickly bowed his hands to Zhu Can and said, "I would like to thank the king for your praise on behalf of our young master."
Zhu Can's still blood-red eyes stared at Changsun Wuji, and asked again: "What happened after we defeated the Far Eastern Army?"
Changsun Wuji immediately said: "Your Majesty will be the Duke of the Tang Dynasty and will be in charge of his own army."
Zhu Can said: "Li Shimin is just the second son, can he be the master of Tang Wang Li Yuan?"
Changsun Wuji said: "Originally it was not possible, but now the prince was captured alive by Wang Junlin, and was easily lost in Taiyuan, and even the whole Hedong. His prestige has been greatly reduced. Even if he returns to Chang'an after a while, he will no longer have the dignity to exist as a prince, and the second son of my family
The young master is wise and brave, and will definitely become the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, so now we, the second young master, can represent His Royal Highness the Tang Dynasty."
Zhu Can took a deep look at Changsun Wuji, nodded and said: "Okay, I believe you and Li Shimin, you go back and tell Li Shimin that I will go to fight the Far East Army and lead Xu Shiji's people to the place, but you
If Xu Shiji's Wagang Camp cannot be swallowed up, the subsequent agreement will not be certain."
"That's it." Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said, "I'll take my leave."
