405 Lie to Win 4
"Then go back... how to go back?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"Brother Xian, what you said is a bit strange. How to go back? Of course, go back the same way." Jiang Kao said. "Same as when we came, we will go back after gathering in a team."

"But... I knew before that that Gan Yi named Wu Qing was in Guicheng." Zhang Cheng reminded. "Even if he is not the mastermind, at least he is an active promoter. I am afraid he already knows about your arrival, and I am worried that he will take the risk."

Although Jiang Kao's idea was very good, he did avoid Yan Yi who was intercepting the business traveler.With so many people and so many transactions, as long as they can go back smoothly, anyone can guess that Zhu Xia will know from Dongyi—or at least Laiyi—that Dongyi wants to raise troops to attack Yingqiu.It is inevitable for this secret to be exposed, but Dongyi can't do nothing.

They only need to annihilate this team, and then they have a chance to keep this secret.

And Jiang Kao gave them this opportunity.

In fact, Zhang Cheng noticed it last night.Because Jiang Kao's team has a large number of livestock and vehicles, its mobility is actually better than that of ordinary troops (but not as good as pure tank troops).In other words, as long as Jiang Kao and the others were fast enough, Dongyi would not have time to organize forces to stop them.

But if it takes ten days...it is far from enough to attack Yingqiu, but it is more than enough to organize an army to intercept hundreds of people like Jiang Kao.

Moreover, Zhang Cheng has reason to believe that it is not difficult for Wu Qing to do so, and it will not even consume too much of his own political resources.Because this team carries a lot of property!Even if it is just a lure, it is enough for Wu Qing to recruit enough troops.

Jiang Kao smiled, but did not speak.

They were walking across a small bridge at this time (as mentioned earlier, there are many bridges in Guicheng), and they saw a man leaning on the handrail, staring at Lai Yi who was going back and forth under the water, looking disappointed look.Because of the arrival of a large number of Zhu Xia, the vitality of the whole city has increased a bit, and the same is true for the underwater city.

From the other party's clothes... Zhang Cheng recognized that the other party should be the kobold trader.But he is not very sure about this, because he is not very good at distinguishing the appearance of foreigners, so he dare not recognize them for a while.It was the kobold who took the initiative to recognize Zhang Cheng.

"Oh, it's you." The kobold vendor sighed, and then looked around. There were only two people, Zhang Cheng and Jiang Kao, and the entourage behind them was some distance away from both of them. "Well, that... what's your name?"

"My name is Zhang Cheng." Zhang Cheng replied.It is said that they only informed each other of their names when they met for the third time.

"My name is Damu," the kobold looked a little lacking in vitality, with a somewhat melancholy look. "I have a secret to tell you... Zhang Cheng, don't leave Guicheng during this time. Stay longer, otherwise you won't be able to go back to Yingqiu."

"Why?" Zhang Cheng asked curiously. "There are many Zhuxias here, all from Yingqiu."

"Yes, a lot came yesterday." Damu replied. "But they can't go back. Absolutely not."

"What does it mean that you will never go back?" Zhang Cheng was a little curious.Although he also guessed that Wu Qing would have a great possibility to intercept Jiang Kao, but what does such a sure tone mean?
"It's doomed!" Damu replied resolutely. "If they ask you to go back with them, absolutely not!"

"You mean... Wu Qing wants to attack Zhu Xia?"

"So you know? That would be the best." Da Mu didn't explain any further. "I can't say more, in short, you must stay here in Guicheng."

"But I... I have to go back to Yingqiu sooner or later." Zhang Cheng asked. "If you miss this time, how can you go back in the future?"

"That..." Damu hesitated for a moment. "I suggest you buy a boat and go back by boat. Bring the logo of Mr. Donghai, and Lai Yi will not attack you."

After finishing speaking, the kobold jumped and ran away.

Zhang Cheng stopped and looked at Jiang Kao not far away.It's hard to say whether the Huchen Jiang Hei and others who were a little further away heard clearly, but Jiang Kao must have heard clearly.

"My dear brother, this is..." Jiang Kao asked.

"This is one of my...friends in the Yizhong." Zhang Cheng replied.Although he just bought green fruits from Damu casually at the beginning, it seems that Damu is very friendly to him.Can clearly feel that the other party regards him as one of his own.Whether it was the last time we met in the suburbs, or this time we met in the city. "I'm afraid you will have trouble going back this time."

At this time, there were only two people on the bridge, there were no outsiders around, and no Lai Yi even passed under the bridge.Jiang Kao lowered his voice. "To tell you the truth, brother, I have prepared for this."

"Are you prepared?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"I expected that Dongyi would not give up, so I reported to the Yingqiu officials and sent a letter to get Qilu Jiwei's permission. This time I came here to do several things at once." Jiang Kao said. "Tomorrow, I will go to offer sacrifices to Lord Donghai. I beg him to let Xiong attack Shan Rong from the rear. Even if it is just harassment, Yan Jin can reduce a lot of pressure."

Zhang Cheng knew about this before.In fact, I asked Mr. Donghai specifically for Jiang Kao. "So, they agreed to the establishment of the temple?"

"What's wrong with that?" Jiang Kao asked curiously.Facing the current situation, building a temple to worship Lord Donghai... This in itself is only a very small price, not even a big price at all.The small profit is big, and the person who does not do it is a fool.Once Shanrong is pinned down, it means that Zhuxia's combat power will be further supplemented and strengthened on the front line of confrontation with Quanrong.In addition, this also means releasing a political signal of friendship with Dongyi, which is very important at this point in time. "There is nothing wrong with this."

"Just agree." Zhang Cheng nodded.It can only be said that Jiang Kao is very efficient.But it seems normal given who he is. "But, if I'm not mistaken, Lord Donghai will not protect you outside of Guicheng."

After getting along for so long, Zhang Cheng can more or less guess Donghai Jun's intentions now.Mr. Donghai wants to take advantage of this time of God's War to expand his power in the world.At this point in time, the attention of the gods is mostly attracted by the battle of the gods, and a power vacuum temporarily appears between the secular world.And the gods don't mind Donghai Jun occupying this vacuum at this time - after all, Donghai Jun is just a big spirit.No matter how powerful the great spirit is, there is still a long way to go from the gods.But they didn't expect at all that Lord Donghai already had the intention of becoming a god.

Ao Guang must first occupy a large area of ​​belief, and then take the opportunity to confer gods during the precious time when the gods have not recovered from the battle of gods.Once successful, he would occupy a large source of belief in the world.Even if his clergy is relatively weak, it can be compensated by human beliefs, so that he won't fall into the small and transparent situation of mountain ghosts, who can be crushed to death by anyone at will.

From this point of view, Ao Guang knew exactly what he should do.Mountain ghosts or two losers will not work.The second suffered a huge loss and fell into a deep sleep, which is already a missed opportunity.The mountain ghost is too obsessed with Bai Ze's power - it is not clear whether it is good or bad, but he obviously has no intention of getting involved in disputes in the world.

In short, Donghai Jun's primary purpose is to expand his beliefs as much as possible without being hostile to the gods.One of the main means is the dissemination of entirely new technologies from Earth.Use new technology to buy believers.All this is thanks to Zhang Cheng.So with such good conditions and preparations, it is impossible for him to conflict with the gods of Dongyi for a mere Jiang Kao.

As an insignificant liaison and middleman, Jiang Kao is not qualified to let Ao Guang come forward.

"Brother, do you know who I brought here this time?" Jiang Kao asked in a low voice. "In my team this time, in addition to the merchants, I also selected more than [-] military vehicles from Yingqiu!"

"A military chariot... more than twenty rides?" Zhang Cheng was slightly surprised.Doctor Kunwu's chariot unit is more than 30 vehicles, right?Generally speaking, Yicheng has two meanings. One refers to a military vehicle, including chariots, horses and 3 crew members, and the other refers to adding at least 10 infantry, and even more than 40 people.However, he has seen Jiang Kao's team this time, and the main body of this team is still composed of businessmen, so Jiang Kao should be referring to the first situation.

Although the number is not a big deal, Zhang Cheng knows that the chariot is the most powerful war machine in this era.Don't look at Doctor Kunwu's 30 plus 100 people, but these 100 people are all fully armed, full-time trained high-level fighters and spellcasters.This kind of high-level fighters and spellcasters deal with ordinary soldiers. It is hard to say that one can fight a hundred, and one can definitely fight ten.

With chariots as mobile platforms, it means that they can play a variety of tactical coordination, and their combat power has become stronger.

This also means that Jiang Kao's team is far stronger than it seems.

First of all, they are all young and middle-aged men, and secondly, they are all business travelers with a certain professional level, sufficient weapons, and certain combat experience. Among them, there are nearly a hundred high-level fighters and spellcasters as the backbone and elite.So don't look at the fact that the number of people is less than a thousand, but in fact... Even if there are thousands of ordinary Dongyi, they may not be able to fight.

"More than that, I also recruited dozens of additional witches in Yingqiu City to help." Jiang Kao continued.In other words, there are a large group of priests as additional support, and the number of spellcasters is far more than expected.

This is equivalent to adding an extra BUFF to an already strong team.According to Zhang Cheng's speculation, if Dongyi only summoned three times and five times the strength of troops, he might not be able to defeat Jiang Kao.Quality can make up for quantity.

"Why is that?" Zhang Cheng asked curiously.With such combat power... This is no longer a hedgehog that people can't swallow, it's almost a man-eating tiger, okay?

"If the matter ends like this this time, Dongyi dare not raise troops. After all, it will treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. Once the situation in the West deteriorates, Dongyi will eventually make a move. But if Dongyi is not ready internally, they will be suspicious of each other An uncertain opportunity, to deal a blow to those diehards among them who insist on fighting against Zhu Xia... I think Dongyi should have no plans to attack Yingqiu in a few years, right?"

Zhang Cheng finally understood.It turns out that Jiang Kao has such a big heart. He not only wants to eliminate the threat of Dongyi this time, but also wants to uproot the guys in Dongyi who insist on being enemies of Zhu Xia. one strike.

But if this step is too big, it will be a mess.

"If Wu Qing divination this matter, what do you think? It's fine if Dongyi doesn't come, if they attack, they will definitely have a chance of winning."

"Although the great witch can tell good and bad luck, but after all, he only knows the good and bad in a rough way, but not the details." Jiang Kao said. "If there is a war, I don't want a big victory, even a small defeat is fine. I just want to kill a few key Dongyi leaders."

Zhang Cheng understood that for the slave-owner nobles, these business travelers were only objects to be used after all, not "one of their own", and it didn't matter if they lost.The death of a group of businessmen is simply nothing.The real key is to kill some enemy leaders who are determined to be enemies of Zhu Xia, such as Wu Qing and the like.

Even if they were defeated, they themselves, these twenty or thirty chariots, these noble professional warriors and spellcasters, would definitely have a higher chance of breaking through and escaping.And as long as they escaped, it would be tantamount to releasing the news that "Zhu Xia is prepared".

In short, as long as the entire army is not wiped out for some reason, otherwise this battle will actually win or lose.

Jiang Kao is naturally full of confidence, but Zhang Cheng sounds a bit uncomfortable.This is also a typical ass determines the head.After all, in this barbaric age, the aristocrats were condescending and contemptuous of the commoners (including businessmen).

But what Damu said just now made Zhang Cheng very concerned.

"They can't go back. Absolutely can't go back..." Damu's words were full of determination.In other words, he is not only convinced that Jiang Kao will be defeated, but also convinced that Jiang Kao will be wiped out.There is no chance of escape.

"By the way, brother, how about going back with me this time?" Jiang Kao invited.

"Ah... yes." Zhang Cheng replied.He was a little absent-minded while speaking, because his eyes were attracted by the figure of a woman in the distance.

That figure just passed by on the street, but it was very familiar.

Who is that?Zhang Cheng hurried to catch up, but after a few steps, he found that no one could be found.After all, Guicheng is bustling and bustling today, three points more than usual.Not to mention the crowds, but it is also very crowded.The figure was gone in a blink of an eye.

Just when he stopped, he heard a shout full of surprise.

"Zhang Cheng?!"

Zhang Cheng lowered his head and saw a familiar figure.But even though he was familiar, it took Zhang Cheng a long time to remember the other party's name.

"Bing Dang? Why are you here?" Sure enough, it was Ling Dang who came, and it was Nan Ling's little follower.But why is she here?She should be in Xiaxu.It is not an exaggeration to say that Xia Ruins is a thousand miles away from here. "Xia Xu... something happened? Something happened to Nan Ling?"

"No! Sister Wu Ling is very good! I came with my father." Ling Dang made a grimace. "It's you, why are you here?"
