Chapter 1107 Only earn but not lose?

In fact, Li Jing also had some concerns. He knew how capable Wu Yazi was. Is he really the kind of person who says he can't do it in order to earn an extra 1000 taels of gold?Impossible, absolutely impossible.But why did Wu Yazi say no?This plan is obviously perfect, there are no loopholes at all.

"Forget it, let's discuss it ourselves." Li Jing said: "General Huangfu, your martial arts are the most powerful. I hope you will lead the troops to break the floating bridge. I don't know what to do?"

"The last general takes orders." Huangfu Jixun said excitedly, "Your Majesty, how many troops can you give the last general to carry out this mission?"

"How much do you want?"

"If you don't have many elite soldiers, give me five hundred elite soldiers. If you are all good, the general will be able to cut off the pontoon bridge and cut off the Zhou army's retreat." Huangfu Jixun said: "But the general has one more request."

"Just ask for anything."

"These five hundred elite soldiers must fight each other with their lives. I hope His Majesty can reward each of them with 50 taels of silver, so that they will have no worries."

"That's right."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

This time, Huangfu Jixun earned a lot of face, not only asking for rewards for his soldiers, but also going to perform a very important task.And this task only makes money but not losses. Everyone knows this very well. The main reason is that there is no big loss if you fail, but you will make a lot of money if you succeed.

"By the way, General Huangfu, I am very concerned about one thing. You and Zhao Kuangyin fight alone, who will win?"

Huangfu Jixun said: "This last general is not sure, after all, he has never fought before, and the outcome is uncertain. However, the last general thought it should be a [-]-[-] split. After following Master Zong Xin for so long, Zhao Kuangyin learned the magical power of Sifang Tathagata from Bu Xiangyang , although he is young, but his martial arts are extremely strong. The last general's Tianying Ten Hands can't learn the essence, but his internal strength is slightly higher. If he fights with Zhao Kuangyin, he should be able to win as long as he doesn't make mistakes."

"That's good. As long as General Huangfu is here, I will have nothing to worry about." Li Jing said, "Go and choose someone. It seems that Zhou Jun is not in a hurry to leave. General Huangfu, you must watch the right time. If Zhou Jun is trapped this time , the widow will give you credit for it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

………………

Huangfu Jixun got the imperial edict this time, and immediately selected five hundred elite soldiers, starting from Shouzhou and bypassing the surveillance of the Zhou army to the upper reaches of the Huaihe River, and then crossed the river from the upper reaches of the Huaihe River all the way back.

Huangfu Jixun led his troops along this journey for five full days, and the time before the navy reached the middle reaches of the Hehuai River was getting shorter and shorter. Huangfu Jixun didn't know what was going on with the Zhou army, so he sent people in disguise to find out.

At this time, the Zhou army still stayed in Shouzhou. Although the army had been reorganized, no one ordered the Zhou army to withdraw.

Huangfu Jixun knew that the longer the delay, the worse it would be for Zhou Jun.He can immediately destroy the pontoon bridge at night, but at this time, there are still ten days before the estimated time for the Nantang navy to reach the middle reaches of the Huaihe River. If the pontoon bridge is destroyed at this time, Zhou Jun will definitely find out about Nantang's strategy, and he will definitely hurry up and leave the Huaihe River. Edom, this battle will also be declared a failure.

Of course, Huangfu Jixun wanted to cut off the Zhou army's retreat at the most critical moment, so he took five hundred elite soldiers and hid in a jungle. In order not to be discovered by the enemy, Huangfu Jixun ordered that no fire be made for cooking.

Huangfu Jixun also expected this kind of thing, so he asked everyone to have a few days' worth of dry food, eat whatever they can find in the woods, and eat the prey raw, just don't light it on fire, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law .

Huangfu Jixun didn't know how many days Zhou Jun could last, and he didn't know how many days he could last. This time it was more luck and endurance.

…………

Li Hongji and Li Congjia went to visit Wu Yazi's mansion, which was also Li Jing's order, because Li Jing wanted to know why Wu Yazi said that this perfect plan was not working.

Li Hongji also cares about this issue. He knows that Wuyazi is not the kind of person who talks nonsense just to make more money.But Li Congjia didn't care about this. This plan was originally thought up by him. Although it was the result of everyone's discussion, it was also the result of Li Congjia's guidance.

Li Congjia believed that his plan was perfect, and Wu Yazi said no because he was afraid of the success of the plan.After all, he is King Qi of the Great Zhou, so of course he doesn't want the Great Zhou to be defeated.

"Taoist Master Wu Yazi, Xiao Wang remembers that you once said that there will be a big war in Shouzhou. I never understood what was going on before, but now I know, there will be a big war. When the time comes, the Zhou army will be defeated by us. Surrounding the east of the Huai River, there is no doubt that there will be a big battle."

Li Hongji didn't get straight to the point, and he didn't know how to speak. After all, Wu Yazi's asking price was too high, and he hoped to know Wu Yazi's thoughts from the side.

"En~" Wu Yazi just responded, and didn't say anything else.

This made Li Hongji not know what to do, because he needed a little reaction before he could continue, but Wu Yazi's reaction...was embarrassing.

"Wu Yazi, can you please stop pretending?" Li Congjia said: "My plan is absolutely feasible, but you said it won't work. Can you let me hear the reason why you said it won't work?"

"It's fine if you say yes, it's useless if I say no, anyway, you don't listen to me." Wu Yazi said: "Xiang'er, what are you eating today? I'm hungry."

"Don't eat it first... Of course what you said is useful. But you just say that this plan doesn't work. I'm afraid no one will accept it. Can you explain it a little bit?"

"No." Wu Yazi still had these two words, Li Congjia was fine, but Li Hongji was so angry that he wanted to beat him up, but unfortunately he couldn't.

"How can you just say it? Say a few more words."

"I want money." Wuyazi suddenly became different today and spoke very little.Wu Yazi can usually say a lot without asking, but today he only said one or two words?Li Hongji felt very uncomfortable.

This is Xiang'er's special order. You must speak less recently, it's better not to say a word, because Tianya's plan directly affects the direction of the entire battle situation. If you slip up here, everything will be over.Xiang'er still hoped that Da Zhou would win this war. Although Tian Ya's personality was more dissolute, but after all, he was His Highness Da Zhou, and it would not be good for him if Da Zhou lost.

Talking about money is not friendly, because Wu Yazi is asking such a high price.Li Hongji really had nothing to do with him, but Li Congjia didn't pay attention to what Wu Yazi said at all, he just felt that Wu Yazi was pretending to be calm.

In fact, Li Congjia had been sending people to monitor Wu Yazi and Xiang'er during this time, and if he made any tip-offs, he would immediately send a large army to round them up.Although Wu Yazi's martial arts are very high, as long as Li Congjia and Huangfu Jixun join forces, he will have absolutely no chance.

Both Li Congjia and Huangfu Jixun can defeat Wu Yazi, but his sword is too dangerous.What's more, Li Congjia was not sure if Zong Xin had only given him this one treasure, and it would be even more dangerous if there were other treasures.

Li Congjia and Zong Xin had been together for a while, so Li Congjia knew Zong Xin's horror very well.Zong Xin is the kind of person who can dominate the world without martial arts. He can change an era simply by his intelligence and brains, not to mention Zong Xin's martial arts is already very strong.

There are many good things on Zong Xin's body, but Wu Yazi only took out one of his old sabers.In addition to this knife, Zong Xin also has a sword that breathes the cold, and a gourd that holds the water of a river. Wu Yazi has not taken out these things yet, who knows how much he has hidden?
Li Congjia was dubious about the fact that Zong Xin was killed by Zhao Jing, but after hearing Li Hongji's description of the Khitan trip, Li Congjia was also sure that Zong Xin was not dead.The Xiaoyaozi who appeared at that time was Zong Xin. There is no doubt about it. Apart from Zong Xin, there is no other person in the world who can use the Jiuyang Burning Art to such an extent. Only him.

If Zong Xin is dead, it's better to say, if Zong Xin is not dead, Li Congjia really dare not do anything to Wu Yazi, he knows how powerful Zong Xin is.

So Li Congjia just sent people to monitor together, and told these people to monitor that there was no need to hide, because they couldn't hide at all.

During this period of time in Shouzhou, Wu Yazi and Xiang'er have been watched by people, and these people are watching blatantly.Wu Yazi also knew that these people were sent by Li Congjia, just to prevent the two of them from reporting to the Great Zhou army.

In fact, there is a reason why Li Congjia is so casual, because there is nothing worth reporting in Shouzhou.Da Zhou's army has been besieging the city and has never attacked, and Wu Yazi and Xiang'er are also very honest and have not done anything suspicious.

It was okay to be a little casual before, but at this time Li Congjia was very vigilant, and the men he sent almost surrounded the entire yard, because now there was a news worth reporting, in order to prevent Wu Yazi from leaving Shouzhou to report the news However, Li Congjia has worked hard.

Everyone dressed up as small traders and gathered around Wu Yazi's house. Whenever Wu Yazi moved slightly, they would immediately show their martial arts.

What Li Congjia cared about was that Wu Yazi and Xiang'er had been kissing me at home all day these days, and they didn't take the matter of destroying the pontoon bridge to trap Zhou Jun at all.

Li Congjia knew that Wu Yazi was as casual as Zong Xin, but this time it was related to his elder brother's life and death, so it was indeed strange to be so calm.So Li Congjia did care a little, but he only cared, because even if the mission failed this time, it would not have any impact on Southern Tang.

It was as if everyone was under a spell, and the focus of everyone's attention was that if the plan failed, it would have no effect, and if it succeeded, it would be a big victory.They didn't pay attention to any other issues, as if they believed that this was an operation that only made money, but only the 500 troops.
