Chapter 768 The Strongest Fighter in History [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

Yan Yan really didn't know the news that the Shadow Tiger Corps was wiped out by the navy. They had just arrived in Zhongli City not long ago and the battle report had not been sent back yet. He just thought that Wei Ju and his men had gone to Huaishui Street to be tricksters again.

After all, most of the navy's warships were used to transport the Bingzhou Blood Cavalry. Who would have thought that Wei Ju dared to attack the Shadow Tiger Legion with less than one-third of the warships, and even won.

Ji Bu sighed and explained what had happened.

Yan Yan looked at Ji Bu in shock and asked a soul-searching question, "So, you are going to wipe out the navy, which only has one-third of its combat power?"

"..." Ji Bu remained silent and didn't want to continue talking. Everyone says that you, Emperor Xuanwu, can talk. Do you call this talking?
"Ahem..." Yan Yan also felt a little hurt, and coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, but turned around and asked, "So the Shadow Tiger Corps was still destroyed by the Navy?"

"It is impossible for the navy alone to destroy the Shadow Tiger Legion. It was you, Bingzhou, who intervened!" Ji Bu emphasized and explained why he lost.

When the war just started, he felt that it was possible to destroy the navy. The navy could not give him any pressure. He wanted to use the navy to liberate Bambu and the Thunder Leopard Corps.

Yan Yan also guessed what Ji Bu wanted to do from his initial deployment of troops.

If Shouchun is really willing to release the Thunder Leopard Corps, even if Bingzhou's top officers intervene, the navy might really suffer a great loss.

Unfortunately, Shouchun’s cowardice, trust in the Shadow Tiger Corps, and contempt for the navy harmed them and the Shadow Tiger Corps.

"This is a big gamble, but unfortunately you lost!"

"Gamblers don't deserve sympathy!"

Yan Yan shook his head. This could only mean that Bambu and Jibu had ruined a good hand.

He clearly held a large number of troops and could decide the outcome of the coup in the State of Chu, but he ended up handing over the military power on his own initiative.

If Bambu had not handed over his military power, he would not have become a prisoner and been placed under house arrest, and the Shadow Tiger Legion would not have been annihilated.

Similarly, if Ji Bu directly used the Shadow Tiger Legion to force Shouchun to release Bambu, the Thunder Leopard Legion would still return to Bambu's hands.

It’s a pity that the two of them ruined such a good hand.

However, Yan Yan could also understand Banbu and Ji Bu's behavior. After all, Heaven, Earth, the Emperor, Parents and Teachers are the most important. Even if he was unwilling, King Fu Chu of Chu had come to the marching camp in person. Unless Banbu dared to use the emperor to command the princes and put King Fu Chu under house arrest, the army would still side with the King of Chu.

"So, what are you going to do?" Yan Yan looked at Ji Bu with a smile.

"Do I have any choice?" Ji Bu asked back.

Now he is a prisoner in Bingzhou, and his life and death are no longer in his hands.

Yan Yan thought about it and it seemed to be the case. The initiative was now in his hands.

But he didn't expect to pick up such a big wild Jibu by the river, and for a moment he didn't know what to do with the Jibu.

"Take him back and keep him under strict watch!" Yan Yan finally had Ji Bu detained.

Although he was the one who picked up Ji Bu, Wei Ju had more say in how to deal with Ji Bu. If it weren't for Wei Ju, it wouldn't have been his turn to pick up Ji Bu.

Moreover, as Wei Ju was his younger brother, he naturally wanted the navy's great victory to be more successful.

After playing with Xiao Yun'e by the water for a while, Yan Yan returned to Zhongli City.

Two days later, Wei Ju led the navy back to Zhongli camp.

"It's a pity that Ji Bu was not captured, otherwise this victory would have been a complete success." Wei Ju felt a little unsatisfied.

It is a great achievement to completely annihilate the Shadow Tiger Legion, but it would be even more perfect if Ji Bu could be captured as well.

"It's already great if we can completely wipe out the Shadow Tiger Legion with only one third of its combat power. Why do we need tower ships?" The deputy generals all comforted Wei Ju.

"Brother!" When a group of people walked into Zhongli City Lord's Mansion, they saw Yan Yan sitting in the main seat drinking tea and looking at everyone.

"Greetings, Emperor!" Everyone saw Yan Yan and bowed. "Okay, stand up. Ji Bu has been picked up by me!" Yan Yan said with a smile and ordered someone to bring Ji Bu over.

"what?"

"You found it?"

Wei Ju and a group of officers were stunned. Did they hear it right?

They fought desperately but couldn't catch Ji Bu, but when the Emperor came, they found him?

The key is to pick up these two words!

If Yan Yan said that Ji Bu was captured by him, they would not be so shocked. After all, the strength of Bingzhou Military Command and Yan Yan was there.

If Yan Yan mobilized the Military Control Commission to capture Ji Bu, they would have no doubt that they could capture Ji Bu.

But picking up this word is very subtle.

"Yes, he was picked up. To be precise, it was Xiao Yun'e who picked him up!" Yan Yan smiled and recounted the process of picking up Ji Bu.

Wei Ju and all the generals were still in disbelief. They had fought for so long but failed to capture Ji Bu, yet he was picked up by the little princess of Bingzhou during one of her outings. What incredible luck!

"The princess' luck is...incredible!" a general exclaimed.

Luck is something mysterious, but you have to believe in it.

I can only say that the little princess’s luck is really terrible.

Not long after Wei Ju and others returned, Mo Ya and Jing Wei also came to Zhongli City with three heads.

"Fortunately, I have accomplished the mission!" Mo Ya returned the task.

"You..." Ji Bu looked at the three heads. He didn't expect Bingzhou to be so cruel. They actually assassinated the patriarchs of the three major nobles of the Chu State. They were determined to fight to the death with the Chu State.

"If a dog bites a person, then the only option is to kill the owner!" Yan Yan said nonchalantly, and then had the heads of the three family heads hung in the Bingzhou Blood Cavalry Camp as a sacrifice, to comfort the souls of those soldiers who were slaughtered.

"So, from the very beginning, Bingzhou has decided to fight to the death with the State of Chu!" Ji Bu finally realized how violent Bingzhou was.

They all underestimated Bingzhou's bloodiness, thinking that Bingzhou was only sending troops to threaten Chu and demanding that Chu hand over Wanku, the murderer who killed Bingzhou soldiers. However, they did not expect that Bingzhou had silently sent people to sneak into Chu and killed the patriarchs of the three major clans.

"You were wrong from the beginning!" Yan Yan shook his head.

"Bingzhou never does business at a loss. We not only want to avenge our comrades who were slaughtered by you, but also want Chu to pay the price for this. All the losses of Bingzhou's expedition this time must be repaid by Chu!"

"Chu and Bingzhou are thousands of miles apart. What can Bingzhou get from Chu?" Ji Bu couldn't understand.

If Bingzhou sent troops, even if it occupied the State of Chu, that was an enclave thousands of miles away, and the cost would not outweigh the gain.

"The land of Chu is of no value to Bingzhou, but Qi and Qin will pay for Chu!"

Ji Bu was stunned.

They forgot that Bingzhou didn't want Chu, but Qi and Qin did.

Moreover, with such a brave Bingzhou as a thug, Qi and Qin would be eager to have more.

"Is your goal to destroy Chu?" Ji Bu trembled in fear.

They never thought that this battle would be a war of annihilation.

But now, Ji Bu didn't dare to think about it.
