Xu Zhiqian felt that Zhou Xingyun was reckless and thieves now. If he didn't pay more attention, he would definitely suffer a big loss.
But having said that, Zhou Xingyun's sudden change of actions made Xu Zhiqian's many foreshadowings useless.
Zhou Xingyun and others initially wanted to use the barbarian prisoners to negotiate with the other party so that the barbarian soldiers would no longer pursue the fleeing town people.
Just as Zhou Xingyun judged, the reason why His Royal Highness, the prince who lives in Che Kingdom, mobilized troops to march into the evil town was because a mysterious force that could wipe out the barbarian advance team appeared in the evil town.
The barbarian advance team was guarded by Rong Guang Wu Zun, but no one could escape. From this, it can be inferred that the enemy they encountered was very strong.
The command of the barbarian army would definitely not leave such a force alone, so they gathered their troops and pursued them.
In other words, Prince Juche's goal is to find out the origin of the mysterious force that wiped out the thousand-man advance team, and to try to eliminate it.
As for the residents of the evil town who fled, they were really insignificant in the eyes of the barbarian army.
The high-ranking barbarian commanders would certainly not go to great lengths to mobilize troops in the area just to chase down a group of fleeing civilians.
In one sentence, the residents of the evil town have no strategic value. If the barbarian army captures them, they will only have a few more slaves.
Therefore, Xu Zhiqian believed that as long as we create an environment for both parties to talk, we can use the captured barbarian prisoners to negotiate with the commander of the barbarian army.
It is in the interest of both parties to exchange a hundred barbarian prisoners for the time the residents of the evil town have to evacuate.
To the barbarian army, a hundred barbarian soldiers are definitely more valuable than the residents of an evil town.
Not only exchange one for one, but also exchange ten for one. The barbarian commanders are happy to see the result.
What's more, Zhou Xingyun also has Bamboo Man in his hands, a barbarian military general in the realm of glory. His value alone is far more than that of the evil town???????????????
resident.
Therefore, when Zhou Xingyun raised his sword and killed the bamboo man, Xu Zhiqian was really frightened by his coquettish tricks.
The Bamboo Man is a vital hostage in their hands and the key to ensuring that the barbarian army keeps its promise.
Xu Zhiqian put a lot of effort into the layout before the war. For example, why the other two barbarian armies had not arrived for so long, which made His Royal Highness the Prince of Che Kingdom suspicious, guessing that the other two armies were blocked by enemy soldiers.
In fact, the reason the other two barbarian armies arrived late was that they discovered dozens of seriously injured barbarian soldiers on the way.
After Zhou Xingyun and others defeated the barbarian advance team, they captured more than 170 people.
Li Xiaofan and Xuanyuan Chongwu each took more than twenty barbarian prisoners and headed towards the other two barbarian troops.
They beat the barbarian prisoners until they were half unconscious, and then tied them in pieces on the marching path of the other two barbarian armies to slow down their march.
Li Xiaofan and Xuanyuan Chongwu only needed to use these prisoners to delay for ten minutes to make the prince of Che Country suspicious.
It can be said that the ten minutes Li Xiaofan and Xuanyuan Chongwu used forty prisoners to gain were the opportunity and time limit for negotiations between Zhou Xingyun and His Highness Prince Juche.
Because at this time, His Royal Highness, the prince who lives in Che Kingdom, basically believed that there was an ambush from the other side in the dark.
Otherwise, His Highness the Prince who lives in Che Kingdom would not have said such self-righteous words to Zhou Xingyun, ‘I have seen through your conspiracy long ago.
Zhou Xingyun and his party attacked 5,000 barbarian troops without any taboos, creating an atmosphere of "luring the enemy deep" and creating an environment for the two sides to talk.
The above is the first link in Xu Zhiqian's plan, creating an opportunity for confrontation and negotiation between the two parties.
Don't underestimate this negotiation opportunity. Otherwise, the barbarian army probably won't even negotiate with you.
If Zhou Xingyun was stupid and took his friends directly to the enemy camp and said that I want to negotiate with you, he would be made dumplings in minutes.
Not to mention anything else, the value of Zhou Xingyun and his group of warriors far exceeds that of barbarian captives and residents of evil towns.
The big fish has thrown itself into the trap, and it would be strange if His Royal Highness, the prince who lives in Che Kingdom, doesn't smile crookedly.
Remember, their target from beginning to end was not the residents of the evil town, but Zhou Xingyun's mysterious hundred-man team.
Therefore, people like Zhou Xingyun will set up a situation and create an environment where both parties can talk on an equal footing.
The second step in Xu Zhiqian's plan is to negotiate with the barbarian commander.
Negotiations must achieve two goals. First, let the opponent understand that we are not a weakling who can be exploited by others.
The second is to let the barbarian commanders clearly understand who is more important than the barbarian prisoners or the evil town residents.
Zhou Xingyun led 20 men to attack the 5,000 barbarian troops, and the powerful combat power they displayed was enough to make Prince Juche understand that even if they continued to pursue the residents of the evil town, they would not be able to wipe out Zhou Xingyun and others.
When the barbarian army catches up with the residents of the evil town, they can only capture a bunch of ordinary people from the Central Plains.
Zhou Xingyun and others are highly skilled in martial arts. As long as they do not fight to the death, His Royal Highness the Prince of Juche State can conclude that even if Old Man Bai takes action, it will be difficult to catch them.
Then, the most favorable development direction for the barbarian army is to reach an agreement with Zhou Xingyun, in exchange for letting the residents of the evil town go, in exchange for the bamboo men and others who became prisoners.
As mentioned above, the Bamboo Man is the key to the plan because he is worth more than a hundred barbarian captives.
In order to ensure the feasibility of the negotiation, Bamboo Man's bargaining chip must be kept until the end before being released.
In short, after Zhou Xingyun reached an agreement with the barbarian commanders, they could release more than a hundred barbarian prisoners first, leaving only the bamboo man in their hands.
After the residents of the evil town had safely evacuated, they released the bamboo man.
If the negotiations between the enemy and ourselves go smoothly, the result will be like this.
It is true that Zhou Xingyun once again played a trick and beheaded the bamboo man with a knife in public, leaving a "mystery" to the barbarian army.
Mystery... really confusing...
His Royal Highness the Prince of Che Kingdom extended an olive branch to Zhou Xingyun and asked Zhou Xingyun if he was willing to serve for him.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xingyun turned into a riddle man, killed the bamboo man neatly, and even gave Prince Juche a small look.
What does he mean by doing this?
you guess.
What Zhou Xingyun means is...'guess'.
You guess whether I am willing to serve you, you guess whether I agree to you, you guess whether I want to be the King of Central Plains.
When the prince of Juche Kingdom recruited Zhou Xingyun, he emphasized the position of "Juche Kingdom" more than once.
In other words, what Prince Juche wanted was for Zhou Xingyun to partner with him, not to join the Thirteen Kingdoms Alliance.
Zhou Xingyun beheaded the man with a sword and winked at Prince Ju Che. In the eyes of His Highness, it could even be interpreted as a "signature certificate".
You see, I chopped up the glorious warriors of the Yin Kingdom and got rid of one of the glorious warriors from the neighboring country for you. This is a good thing for you, the Che Kingdom. In this way, it is impossible for me to fight with the Yin Kingdom.
If we build a good relationship, we can only seek cooperation with you in Cheguo.
Zhou Xingyun killed the glorious warriors of Yin Kingdom and turned around and left without saying a word, which became today's swan song.
Xu Zhiqian could say bluntly that when His Royal Highness, the prince who lives in Che Kingdom, saw Zhou Xingyun's retreating figure, he must have been very confused inside and could decipher all kinds of complex information.
Because from the perspective of Prince Juche, Zhou Xingyun attacked the barbarian army in order to negotiate terms with them and use the prisoners in his hands to buy time for the residents of the evil town to escape.
It's good now, Zhou Xingyun won't talk about it anymore...
????????????????
This made Zhou Xingyun seem to be testing the prince of Chewang to see if he was worthy of his trust.
Zhou Xingyun's method is specially designed to deal with complex conspirators. As long as His Royal Highness the Prince of Che Country thinks deeply, he will get deeper and deeper into it, and he will interpret more meanings from Zhou Xingyun's behavior.
For example, Zhou Xingyun is the leader of a group of warriors, how can he bow to outsiders in full view of the public?
Therefore, Zhou Xingyun beheaded the bamboo man and winked at him, hinting that he should discuss some things in private.
In addition, Prince Juche can also interpret Zhou Xingyun's move as, I need to discuss it with the people around me and give you an answer in a few days. Killing the Bamboo Man is my vote to give you. Neither do you.
I hope Yin Guo’s glorious warrior can escape unharmed.
What's more, His Highness the Prince wants to recruit me, so let me see your sincerity first.
In short, Zhou Xingyun's sly maneuver left His Royal Highness, who lived in Che Kingdom, in suspense and allowed him to guess on his own.
Anyway, the residents of the evil town have no use value to His Highness the Prince who lives in Che Country.
Why not use some worthless things to sell Zhou Xingyun face and favor?
Zhou Xingyun took advantage of this goodwill to set a trap for the prince of Chewang, which seemed to be a "killing".
If His Royal Highness the Prince of Che Kingdom had no intention of soliciting, Zhou Xingyun would have acted according to Xu Zhiqian's plan, but he had the intention of soliciting, and even drew a big pie of "King of Central Plains" to tempt him. This cannot be blamed on Zhou Xingyun for taking advantage of the loopholes and bullying
You 'honest man'.
To put it bluntly, Zhou Xingyun took His Royal Highness Prince Ju Che's good intentions as a donkey's liver and lungs and played with him mercilessly.
What is a white-eyed wolf? What is a farmer and a snake? Xu Zhiqian dared to point at Zhou Xingyun with a clear conscience and say...it's him!
Admittedly, Xu Zhiqian had to admit that ungrateful white-eyed wolves and treacherous heroes who repay kindness with hatred can often obtain the greatest benefits on the road of betrayal and live a very nourishing life. Those who are not poisonous and husbandless will not stick to trivial details and have no minimum limit when they achieve great things.
Locke of the Arat Bandit is probably such a person.
After Zhou Xingyun and his party were far away from the war zone, they met up with Mu Ya who was hiding in the mountains and forests.
The prince who lives in the Che Kingdom thought that there was an ambush nearby. His guess was not wrong, but Mu Ya was the only one in the ambush.
Mu Ya was considered an upright 'ambush soldier'. She was located across the gorge at the top of a mountain in the distance, and a hidden arrow severely wounded the barbarian general in front of the formation.
To put it bluntly, although Mu Ya did not directly participate in the battle, the role she played in deterring the barbarian soldiers was second only to Wafduo.
His Royal Highness Prince Juche was deeply afraid of being ambushed, so Mu Ya's secret attack on the young general in front of the barbarian army was a great achievement.
There is a saying that if you are bitten by a snake once, you will be afraid of the well rope for ten years.
If you see a ghost once, can you not be afraid of the dark?
There was an ambush as big as Muya Roumei, standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the tiger eagerly across the gorge. His Royal Highness, the prince who lived in Che Kingdom, naturally could not let the tiger man lead the soldiers to pursue Zhou Xingyun without any idea.
Therefore, the soft girl Mu Ya has made the greatest contribution, and Zhou Xingyun must reward her well tonight.
"Why are you back? Are they not willing to trade prisoners with us?" Muya looked at Zhou Xingyun and others curiously. She had two tasks. One was to shoot arrows from a distance to cover the friendly forces, and the other was to guard the barbarian prisoners.
Zhou Xingyun and others negotiated with the barbarian army, and in exchange for the barbarian prisoners, Mu Ya took care of them.
More than a hundred barbarian captives were tied up on the edge of the mountain like gourds on skewers.
If Zhou Xingyun and others negotiate smoothly with the enemy, Mu Ya will follow Zhou Xingyun's instructions and release the barbarian prisoners here in batches.
"The negotiation has been completed. Those barbarian trash will not come after me." Zhou Xingyun stepped forward, grabbed the soft girl Mu Ya, kissed her hard on the mouth, and then smiled arrogantly: "
These captives are no longer of use, so we take them back and find better sellers."
"A better seller?" Mu Ya asked shyly.
The soft girl felt that Zhou Xingyun was a bit strange, and his behavior became very bold.
To say it sounds good is to be bold, to say it sounds bad is to be rude.
"I don't know where the coach of the Yin Kingdom is. If we exchange them for people from the Yin Kingdom, we can raise the price and we should be able to make a good deal." Zhou Xingyun hugged Mu Ya hard and walked towards the barbarian captives.
Zhou Xingyun arrogantly walked up to the barbarian team leader, kicked him down first, then stepped on his head and said: "Little beasts, do you like to call us bad animals? Come on and bark a few times like a dog."
Grandpa listen!”
"Bah!" The barbarian squad leader gritted his teeth and spat. Although his head was stepped on by Zhou Xingyun and he could not spit on anyone, the anger in his heart was vividly displayed.
"Oh, you are very stubborn. I didn't expect that after being tortured by my woman all night, you still have this momentum. Zhiqian, Isabel, you are not good at it. You can't deal with this kind of guy who is worse than a beast. You can't be like a woman.
Ren, you have to use all your energy at night to deal with them!" Zhou Xingyun turned around and teased Xu Zhiqian and Isabel by name.
"A dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth." Xu Zhiqian was too lazy to argue with Zhou Xingyun and just pursed her lips. You win.
"The key targets of our care are not them." Isabel replied nonchalantly. The target of their torture yesterday was the Bamboo Man.
Also, Isabel and other women noticed that Zhou Xingyun seemed to have inherited the temperament of the King of Thieves, and he was very crazy in his words and deeds, but he subconsciously did not dare to offend anyone.
You know, the people responsible for interrogating the barbarian prisoners yesterday were Rao Yue, Xu Zhiqian, and Isabel.
"You evil beast in the Central Plains, kill me if you dare!" This barbarian squad leader was very determined, and even after becoming a prisoner, he could still say these words in an arrogant manner.
"To be honest, I appreciate you, a silly dog who would rather die than surrender! So can you tell me the information about Yinguo's coach?????????????????" Zhou Xingyun revealed.
A smile.
The captain of the barbarian team closed his eyes and mouth and remained unmoved. No matter how Zhou Xingyun tortured him, he would not reveal any information.
"ah!"
Along with the scream, a burst of hot water splashed on the face of the barbarian team leader, and a burst of blood hit his nose, forcing him to open his eyes.
The barbarian squad leader opened his eyes suddenly, not because he felt pain, but because he was not the one who screamed.
Zhou Xingyun casually slashed the ear of the barbarian soldier next to the barbarian squad leader with a sword.
"ah!"
Zhou Xingyun struck another sword, scraping off a piece of flesh and blood on the barbarian soldier's arm.
Soon after, Zhou Xingyun raised his sword again. The barbarian soldiers who witnessed this scene immediately panicked and begged for mercy.
"No! I said! I will tell you everything I know, don't kill me! The army commanded by the Yin Kingdom Commander is located... ah woo!"
When the barbarian soldiers were about to report that the Yin State Commander's army was located at a certain place in the southern border, Zhou Xingyun kicked him in front, smashing his teeth.
"I didn't ask you to say it, shut up..." Zhou Xingyun looked back at the captain of the barbarian team and showed a playful smile: "I'm here to have fun."
Why did the barbarian squad leader become a prisoner because he had such a stubborn character? Why didn't he fight to the death on the battlefield?
Because he was a responsible captain, he knew that his brothers had no chance of winning if they fought Zhou Xingyun, so he chose to surrender for the sake of his comrades.
The captain of the barbarian team took the lead in disarming and could save the lives of his soldiers. Even if they were eventually rescued and blamed by the superiors, it was his fault and had nothing to do with his brothers.
What a kind and loving man! It’s a pity that the innocent people of the Central Plains are all bad animals in your eyes, and you have no right to be considerate.
Since you care about your comrades so much, Zhou Xingyun will use them to see if you can continue to prefer death over surrender...
In the blink of an eye, thirty minutes passed, and Zhou Xingyun and others were still staying at the top of the mountain.
In these thirty minutes, Zhou Xingyun had done all kinds of bad things and made all the barbarian captives cry for their fathers and mothers.
There are only bad methods that you can't think of, and there is no cruel behavior that he can't do.
It took Zhou Xingyun less than ten minutes to successfully make the captain of the barbarian team lose control of his emotions and break his mind.
Zhou Xingyun hardly used violent means to torture the barbarian team leader, but what he did was more cruel than torture.
Whatever the barbarian squad leader cared about most, Zhou Xingyun destroyed. Even though he finally cried and asked him to stop and tell everything truthfully, Zhou Xingyun ignored him.
Although Wei Suyao and other girls thought about stopping Zhou Xingyun, Zhou Xingyun's words to the barbarian squad leader persuaded them to retreat instead.
'Are you sad? Haha, don't say I won't give you a chance, as long as you can tell, you invaded the Han people in the Central Plains, raped, raped, raped, looted, burned, killed, and plundered, and treated the people of the Central Plains as bad animals, slaughtered them arbitrarily, and took away what they cherished.
If there is any difference between that person's behavior and what I am doing at this time, I will stop.'
It was too late, but it was so fast. Thirty minutes later, Li Xiaofan and Xuanyuan Chongwu had completed their mission and returned.
The two men used barbarian prisoners to successfully delay the march of the barbarian army, delaying the rendezvous of the three barbarian armies by nearly half an hour.
Zhou Xingyun and others stayed on the top of the mountain to watch, confirming that the prince who lived in the Che Kingdom did not advance but retreated after the three barbarian armies converged, and then returned home calmly.
Today's confrontation is just the beginning. The warriors of His Royal Highness Prince Juche are just a part of the Allied Forces of the Thirteen Kingdoms. In addition to the warriors of Juche Kingdom, they also have to face the masters of the other twelve countries...
Thinking of this, Zhou Xingyun exhaled in annoyance and secretly cursed that Xiao Qiuqiu would really find something for him to do. He must unite the evil forces as soon as possible and reunite the Panlongs in order to compete with the Allied Forces of the Thirteen Kingdoms.
