Chapter 622 Good things

"Brother, the thing is like this... When eating, as long as you are full, you can fill yourself up with one more mouthful. Not only is it useless, but it makes yourself uncomfortable. The same is true for sending troops to attack the city. In fact, our troops are not enough to capture Xuzhou City. If If Li Jing and Murong Yanchao stick to it, we may not be able to win with a strong attack, and maybe we will be beaten back, and the gain will not be worth the loss." Zong said: "Li Jing is a grandson, if we force Li Jing to a dead end , he will resist with all his strength. Although Li Jing doesn't have many troops now, it can help Murong Yanchao to defend Xuzhou. We only need to give him a way, and Li Jing will slip away along this way. , we can completely regain the lost ground, as for Li Jing... sooner or later we can deal with him, there is no need to force the dog to jump over the wall."

Chai Rong thought about it carefully and realized that Zong Xin was right.Murong Yanchao had more than 3 and nearly [-] troops. Li Jing actually had [-] troops. It was because of Zong Xin's ambush that he lost [-] troops, so now he only has [-] troops. The two armies added Together they are [-], which is also a very scary number.

Of course, the Tang Army in Xuzhou City only has more than 2, but if Li Jing is really in a hurry, he can call back his own army and defend it with Murong Yanchao. At that time, no one can do anything.

Fortunately, Li Jing wanted to escape, otherwise he wouldn't be afraid of facing Murong Yanchao, let alone a city defense battle.The Zhou army did not have the strength to attack Xuzhou City, let alone a forceful attack. There was only a confrontation.Therefore, they must let Li Jing leave so that they can attack Xuzhou City with confidence and boldness. Only in this way can they have the chance to kill Murong Yanchao personally.

"Master, should we send people to guard the other three city gates? What if Murong Yanchao's grandson flees in fear of death? Xuzhou City is our own territory, and the soldiers in the city are all our Dazhou people. , It’s not our goal to attack the city or kill people, we just want to kill Murong Yanchao alone.”

Although Tian Ya is young, he always mentions important points when speaking, and everyone looks at Tian Ya with admiration.At this time, Tian Ya was only 11 years old. His strategic thinking and brains were far superior to those of the adults present, and he had a very clear view of the overall situation. Only Master Zong Xin could educate such excellent children.

Both Fan Zhi and Dou Yi were certain that Tianya was the hope of the Great Zhou Dynasty to unify the world.Although he is still young, he has already shown unrivaled talents. As long as he grows up a little more, his achievements may be far better than Guo Wei's.

Zong Xin chuckled and said: "Hey hey hey, you don't have to worry about this. Murong Yanchao will never escape. I have set a trap for him. He thinks he will never die, so he will defend Xuzhou City, even if the city is destroyed. He won't leave after that, and even wants to take the opportunity to sneak attack Master or His Majesty. But this is a trick of mine, and he won't find out at all."

"What set?"

"Nanxiang~!" Zong Xin said excitedly: "The thing is like this, I will tell you about it, and I promise to laugh your big teeth off."

........................

At this time in Xuzhou city
Liu Chengjun finally healed his injury and recovered from the fatigue during this period.Murong Yanchao often takes care of him personally, because his nephew has suffered too much in order to report to him, and Murong Yanchao is also very distressed about this.Seeing Murong Yanchao's sincere devotion, Liu Chengjun was also very moved.

"Third uncle, don't you find it strange? I escaped from Zong Xin's hands with my martial arts, and I was able to come to Xuzhou City alive."

Murong Yanchao said: "It's really strange. Judging by your martial arts, if you meet Zong Xin, you might even have difficulty escaping. But you only suffered a little injury. It seems that Zong Xin deliberately let you go." If it wasn't for this, you would definitely not be alive today."

Liu Chengjun shook his head and said, "Third Uncle, you must have guessed wrong. The battle report is so important, why did Zong Xin let me deliver the letter? Didn't he want to catch someone by surprise? If you haven't heard the news of my father's defeat, Maybe you will all be killed in Xuzhou City by Zong Xin, isn't that his purpose?"

"That makes sense..." Murong Yanchao said: "Then how did you survive from Zong Xin? Based on my understanding of Zong Xin, this person has a disgusting and kind-hearted appearance. Although he is an eminent monk, he is actually ruthless. . All [-] troops of the Northern Han Dynasty and the Khitan died in his hands. His compassion will not be used only on you. How on earth did you escape from Zong Xin? "

Liu Chengjun said: "Third uncle should know that there is always an expert named Taoist Chi Mu beside my father, right?"

"I've seen it a few times, he called himself the late senior brother, because he was kicked out of the sect because of the injustice of the late, so that he didn't learn all the skills, it's far worse than the late, let alone Zong Xin." Murong Yanchao said: " Could it be that he had anticipated Zong Xin's ambush beforehand, and let you escape?"

Liu Chengjun shook his head and said: "It's not him, he doesn't have this ability yet. Chi Mu invited his senior brother from Wudang Mountain, his name is Guo Wuwei. Although his ability is still not as good as Zong Xin's, he is proficient in this way. Originally Wuwei The Taoist priest came up with a way to break the city, saying that he would set up a Dharma platform outside the city. He did this by inviting rain from the sky on July 49th, and then the siege of Weizhou would be able to defeat Weizhou. Unfortunately, we all thought he was doing it at the time. It's nonsense, and he himself can't tell a reason, so it's certainly not convincing. However, when we attacked the city, Zong Xin had already hidden fish oil in the grass outside the city, and used fire to annihilate our army. , the fish oil burns violently, and our army has nothing to do. If rain comes to help during the siege, the hay will not burn, and even if it burns, it will not be so violent. Although this person is not as capable as Zong Xin, he should also be a master of metaphysics. Man, it’s a pity that I didn’t believe what he said at the time.”

Murong Yanchao said: "If even he himself can't say why, no one would believe him under the circumstances at that time. What does this matter have to do with Zong Xin?"

"It's like this. After the defeat, the emperor immediately ordered me to send a letter to Xuzhou, because there is no one available around me, and I can get to Xuzhou the fastest with my footsteps, and the chance of survival is far greater than that of ordinary soldiers. The reason why my father sent me here is to let Xuzhou get the news earlier, so as not to be caught off guard by Zong Ren." Liu Chengjun said: "Just before I left, Daoist Wuwei gave me half a stick of incense. This is a near-death experience, the only way to survive is to ignite the incense, which can save my life. In the end, I got back because of this half of the incense.”

With that said, Liu Chengjun took out half of the incense stick in his arms.Liu Chengjun carried this half stick of difficult incense close to his body, for fear of losing it, because it was a good treasure. If he had this thing, it could save his life at a critical moment.

Murong Yanchao knew his nephew well, judging from his condition and expression, he didn't seem to be lying, but what's the use of half a stick of incense?Is it because Zong Xin is a Buddhist, so he didn't kill him after seeing the incense?

Liu Chengjun continued: "When I met Zong Xin that day, I thought I was going to die. Later, I lured him to use the Nine Suns Burning Heaven Art to fight me. My skill is naturally far inferior to Zong Xin, but because Nine Suns Burning the Sky The fire nature of the tactic made me ignite the incense, and after the incense was lit, I was completely invisible. Zong Xin was right in front of me, and he could kill me with just a wave of his hand, but he couldn't see me by his side. At that time, I was I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack, but Zong Xin immediately sensed that I made a slight move, and I didn't even dare to take a breath, Zong Xin thought he had heard wrong and was in a hurry to chase me, so he left."

Murong Yanchao frowned when he heard it, and immediately looked at the incense carefully, he never thought that there is such a treasure in the world.But Murong Yanchao has also heard that Zong Xin has several treasures in his hand. His gourd can hold the water of a river, and can turn good things into fine wine. I have seen this gourd with my own eyes. At first, I thought it was very miraculous. .

In addition, Zong Xin also has a sword, which is cold, and he only recognizes Zong Xin as the master, and everyone else will be frozen into ice if they hold this sword.

Of course, the person with the most treasures is Lei Hong.Treasures like this are rare, but they do exist.It's just that Murong Yanchao was unlucky and never got any treasure.Now that there is a life-saving treasure in front of him, Murong Yanchao is determined to kill Liu Chengjun and snatch the Nanxiang in his hand.

It's a pity that only half of this incense is left. The biggest difference between it and other treasures is... its use is limited.However, there are not many life-threatening moments in a person's life. As long as you keep it by your side, no one can kill yourself.

Of course, this incense still has a shortcoming. I heard from Liu Chengjun just now that he originally wanted to sneak attack Zong Xin, but Zong Xin overheard the movement.It seems that this incense can only hide the figure, but not the voice.If it doesn't hide its voice, it can run amok and kill whoever it wants in the world, without the other party even knowing that it did it.

How can there be such a perfect thing in the world?Nowadays, this half stick of difficult incense is already a good treasure, and its use is very limited. It is a pity that this thing fell into Liu Chengjun's hands. His life is not very valuable.

Murong Yanchao asked curiously, "What is the origin of this thing?"

Liu Chengjun said: "I heard Taoist Wuwei say that this is the incense used by the head of Wudang Mountain when he succeeds.

"Good thing, really good thing." Murong Yanchao was almost drooling looking at it, and of course Liu Chengjun saw his appearance, knowing that he wanted this half-baked incense.

Liu Chengjun said: "Third uncle, the city of Xuzhou is too dangerous. However, as a general, you cannot escape from Xuzhou at this time. But if the city of Xuzhou is destroyed, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to escape. So I will keep this half of the incense for you temporarily." Here, if there is a crisis, lighting the incense can save your life. I will take my third uncle's family and go to Taiyuan first. At least the Northern Han Dynasty is still peaceful, and Guo Wei does not dare to attack."
