Brutal touch

Chapter 28 The prince-in-law battles wits before the army. The governor leads the three armies.
  Here, the Fourth Young Master discussed with Shi Ju, Sima Jiujia, and Chang Shi Banpan, the trusted governor of Baiyun Peak: "The savages have not made any big moves in the Baiyun Peak area in the past few days. They just continue to send scattered personnel to conduct reconnaissance. It should not be Knowing the falsehood of the bed crossbow, I came here to test it. If the savages think that Baiyun Peak cannot be captured for a long time, then the troops originally confronting us at Baiyun Peak will be deployed to other places, which will put greater pressure on other camps on the border. ”

Shi Ju said: "The Fourth Young Master has thought very carefully, but Baiyun Peak has been relying on its geographical advantage to contain several times the number of savages. It was already miserable. Now that the pressure has eased, it is a good opportunity to recuperate. Other camps do not have so many geographical advantages. Therefore, they all have strong soldiers and horses, and it is easier to support each other than us at Baiyun Peak."

Jiujia echoed: "Four Young Masters don't need to worry about the other camps for the time being. The most important camps at the border, in addition to our Baiyun Peak, there are also two camps in the South Pass and Beiguan, each with 8,000 people garrisoned and able to Support each other, those are the elites of the Army Temple, with them here, nothing will happen."

Although the Fourth Young Master came to the frontline camp for the first time, he had experienced the Baiyunfeng Battle and knew that the words of those who had been in the camp for a long time might not be trustworthy. Otherwise, the Baiyunfeng Camp would not have been nearly lost before. So he said: "Even so, it is better to be careful after all. In this way, I have master craftsmen rushing to make two hundred bed crossbows in a few days. You send some manpower, and each of the two camps in South Pass and North Pass will send a hundred crossbows." Bed crossbow, and bring my letter, telling them to be careful of savages attacking the camp in the next few days."

Jiujia stood up and said: "Fourth Young Master is very thoughtful and has good intentions. However, we have frequent contacts with the two camps in the north and south. As far as we know, they may not accept Fourth Young Master's favor. On the contrary, they may misunderstand Fourth Young Master." .”

Banpan said: "How do they do their own business? As long as we guard Baiyun Peak, there is nothing wrong. If one day the savages really attack them, we have done our duty. I think the Fourth Young Master's opinion is very good. .”

Seeing this, Jiujia no longer insisted, so he arranged for two men and horses, each carrying a hundred crossbows, to go to the two camps in the north and south.

Let's say that when the people from Nanguan Camp saw the Fourth Young Master's person and the letter, they received the visitor politely, accepted the bed crossbow, and treated the envoy generously before sending him away. After leaving, the bed crossbow was casually abandoned in the corner, and no one mentioned it again.

Let’s start with Jia Yu, the governor of Beiguan. When he saw the Fourth Young Master’s letter, he tore it into pieces in front of the Fourth Young Master’s envoy. He gritted his teeth and said, “Bah, Fourth Young Master, what are you talking about? What was the victory at Baiyun Peak? , turning black into white, he lost more people than the savages he killed, and also killed two generals, and he actually had the nerve to report a great victory. Now he sent these things, and also wrote a letter to teach us how to fight, it is clear It’s humiliating us!”

The messenger hurriedly said: "The great victory at Baiyun Peak was not a false report by the Fourth Young Master, but was confirmed by the royal capital. What's more, the Fourth Young Master clearly meant well when he came. How could you treat someone so badly?"

Jia Yu said: "I remember that the Fourth Young Master is the supervisor of Baiyun Peak. How come you have come to my Nanguan Beiguan camp? If you weren't a noble because of your size, I would chop off your head first in the name of disrupting the morale of the army. !”

After Jia Yu finished cursing, he immediately ordered the account to be raised and called officers at all levels to come to discuss the matter. As soon as the bugle sounded, officers at all levels in Beiguan immediately dressed up and came to the governor's tent. In the middle of the tent stood the envoy of the Fourth Young Master. Jia Yu first asked the officers at all levels to sit down. After seeing everyone sit down, Jia Yu said: "I received military information some time ago, saying that Baiyunfeng won the battle, but the result was that he died. A governor and a long history lost hundreds of people, and the camp was almost taken away. They call this a victory." Everyone in the tent laughed after hearing this.

Jia Yu continued: "This is not just now. The newly arrived supervisor from Baiyun Peak, who seems to be talking about the Fourth Young Master, sent me a letter, telling me to beware of barbarians attacking the camp, and also taught me how to use a crossbow called bed crossbow. Damn it, you just want to command our Beiying to fight." After Jia Yu finished speaking, he laughed to himself. Everyone in the tent laughed along with him, and this burst of laughter was better than the previous one. bigger.

Seeing that everyone in the tent had laughed enough, Jia Yu said to the envoy: "You know our attitude in Beiying, go back and tell the Fourth Young Master not to mind his own business. You can skip teaching me how to fight, of course. Well, if Fourth Young Master wants to learn to practice Qi, I would be willing to teach him."

The envoy said coldly: "Since the governor has this intention, then I have no choice but to go back and resume my life."

Jia Yu said: "Hold on, envoy. It seems that we are unreasonable for the envoy to go back like this. I just want to show you what war is, so that the Fourth Young Master will not misunderstand that we are jealous of the virtuous and capable."

After speaking, he gathered together more than 200 people, straddled their horses with their swords drawn, and asked the envoys to watch from above the camp. Jia Yu and his party walked hundreds of steps and saw hundreds of savages building fortifications. Jia Yu yelled and headed straight for the savages. What Jia Yu practiced was Guan Yinzong's Yiqihuo, and later he was taught the secrets of several iron spear skills by Tong Kui, so Yiqihuo was different from everyone else. When Jia Yu saw that he was more than 200 steps away from the savages, he threw out ten rays of force from the ten fingers of his hands, sucking the ten savages within a hundred steps in front of him. Then he activated a burst of Qi Fire, and the ten savages were instantly reduced to ashes.

Jia Yu cursed in a low voice: "I thought it was a big fish, but I didn't expect it to be such a low-minded bastard!" When the leading savage saw that his men were killed, he was furious, activated his skills, and disappeared without a trace for a while. trace. Jia Yu smiled and said: "It's such a boring thing again." The savage leader suddenly appeared behind Jia Yu and stabbed a dagger into Jia Yu's abdomen. However, after the dagger was pierced, Jia Yu felt no pain at all. On the contrary, he felt no pain at all. The dagger could not be pulled out.

Jia Yu smiled and said: "Although practicing Yiqihuo is boring and complicated, the advantage is that no matter how fancy you use it, as long as your physical cultivation is not as good as mine, any attack will only bring humiliation to yourself." In a fit of anger, the savage leader's facial expression became ferocious, and he wanted to escape, but was tightly controlled by Jia Yu, and was shriveled up by the heat in a short time. Jia Yu's men attacked everywhere and captured more than 200 savages, while the rest fled in all directions. Jia Yu thought to himself: "I originally wanted to find a powerful savage leader to establish his prestige in front of the Fourth Young Master, but I didn't want to encounter such a worthless thing. Anyway, I have gained a lot, and it doesn't count as a big boast just now. .”

Jia Yu returned to the Beiguan camp with his men and horses, smiled at the envoy and said, "How is it? Did the envoy see clearly just now? I wonder if the Fourth Young Master has any other advice?"

The envoy had nothing to say and had to find an excuse to leave.

The one confronting the Beiguan camp was Geng Li, the leader of the Yuluo tribe among the eight tribes of barbarians. How could he not be angry when he heard military reports that he had sent people to build fortifications but was attacked by the country? He was about to gather his troops to take revenge.

Long Mo also got the news and reported the situation to Duo Li. Duo Li smiled and said: "Geng Li is a man of great means, but he must retaliate when something happens. If he suffered a loss this time, he must lead his troops to avenge him. Pass on the order." , sent 2,000 people from our side to sneak around Beiying. When they saw the fire in Beiying, they immediately went straight to Beiying. The other 2,000 people were assigned to me directly, and the rest continued to make plans and invade the country in Baiyun. With the confrontation between Feng and Feng, the investigators sent before must continue to be sent out to prevent the people from Baiyun Feng from seeing the clues." Long Mo accepted the order.

Here, Beiguan military intelligence came to report. Geng Li personally led more than 6,000 people from his headquarters to gather in the direction of Beiying. It seemed that he was seeking revenge for Jia Yu's previous attack. After Jia Yu heard this, he quickly called the chief officer, and Sima came to discuss the matter in the tent. The chief officer of Beiguan said: "The savage movement this time is too large. We should leave and send people to Nanguan to ask for assistance and jointly deal with the enemy."

Jia Yu shook his head and said: "No, Geng Li is brave and foolhardy. In addition, the six thousand people are almost the entire property of their tribe. They must be a mob. Although they are huge, they are nothing to worry about. If we want to let Nan When people from the camp come, wouldn’t it mean that the credit is given to them out of thin air?”

Sima added: "The governor's words are not unreasonable. Now with the strength of our northern camp, it should not be a problem to carry this man and horse alone. Then put Gengli's men and horses in front of the camp, and we will rely on the camp's defense. Although there are some risks in waiting for work, the possibility of making achievements is also higher."

Jia Yu shook his head again and said: "Today I will defend the camp, and tomorrow I will defend the camp. There is no point in defending until my hair turns white. I have forgotten even the nature of the people. In my opinion, I will also lead 6,000 people to fight against Gengli." , only when everyone competes based on their abilities can it be considered fun."

Both Sima and the long history thought that Jia Yu's words were too ridiculous, but Jia Yu relied on his superior skills and persisted in going his own way even if the two of them objected. Until the end, he said angrily: "Since you two are afraid of death, I will leave two thousand people for you." Defend the camp, I will lead 6,000 men to kill those savages!" He said and left the tent angrily.

When the two saw Jia Yu leaving, Sima said: "Since military affairs are such a trivial matter, what can we do now?" Chang Shi sighed: "Jia Yu has always been stubborn. If our words don't suit his mind, when will he ever listen to us? I hope he is capable and capable of turning danger into disaster, but it is said that the bed crossbows sent by the Fourth Young Master are indeed useful in defense. I think those bed crossbows should still be in the armory now, so why not put them in the camp? Strengthening defense is also foolproof." Sima said: "This is the best thing to say."

The two just discussed it, brought lanterns and cloaks and went to the armory. They saw a hundred crossbows piled in the armory. Due to the rough management of the servants, nearly one-third of them could not be used. , while the two were sighing, they suddenly heard a thunderclap behind them shouting: "What are you doing!" The two turned around and found that it was Jia Yu.

Jia Yu said angrily: "As a cultivator, you actually entrust military and national affairs to these things, do you still have shame?" The two were about to explain, Jia Yu had already asked his soldiers to tie them up, and said: "Since In this way, I will handle these matters myself. I will tie you two to think about your mistakes first, and I will take care of you when I return in triumph tomorrow."

On the second day, Jia Yu gathered all the soldiers and horses in the camp, piled a hundred crossbows randomly in the middle, and said: "We practitioners train ourselves, and victory depends on our own methods and abilities, not opportunism." I heard that there is such a battalion that usually likes to talk big words, talk nonsense, and fight against others. Instead of relying on their own means, they rely on this bunch of junk."

Before Jia Yu finished speaking, the military camp began to burst into laughter. Jia Yu continued: "Now, not only do they want to do this themselves, but they also want to send these things to me and teach me to do the same. What do you think we should do with these things?"

"Burn! Burn! Burn!" the soldiers around cheered. Jia Yu laughed loudly and used his skills. A stream of fire spurted out from his mouth. One hundred crossbows were suddenly covered in fire and turned into charcoal in a short time. Accompanied by the flames burning the crossbow, Jia Yu left the camp with his soldiers.
