I practiced magic in the Three Kingdoms

"Changxi!"

Wang Jing and Taishi Ci were both capable of defeating a thousand men with one horse. Together, they easily tore a bloody hole in the enemy's formation and chased after Chang Xi as if they were in an empty space.

"Marquis Qi is so powerful!"

Sun Guan, who was running away in another direction, was hiding in the crowd with an expression of disbelief. Wang Jing's invincibility set off a storm in his heart at this moment: "Such bravery is simply the reincarnation of the Overlord. Who in the world can stop him?"

Wang Jing was seen riding on horseback and charging recklessly, with sword in left hand and knife in right hand, slashing, stabbing and sweeping. These three simple moves were ever-changing and invincible, like a human lawn mower, killing people like cutting grass, leaving mountains of corpses and seas of blood wherever he went.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the cavalry was pierced by him. Wang Jing alone killed more than 20 cavalrymen. As for the Twelve Xuanlin Guards and Taishi Ci, none of them were mediocre. They were all the terrors of the battlefield and would kill anyone who stood in their way.

Thousands of bandits were killed by these fourteen people until they were terrified and had mental breakdown.

"Escape!"

"Monsters, all monsters!"

"My life is over!"

More than a thousand people actually collapsed on the spot and ran away on their horses.

Chang Xi was about to shout to stop him, but Wang Jing just glanced at him again in the crowd, which made him feel scared, his back felt cold, and a chill surged in his chest.

At this moment, he understood that Wang Jing had not used his full strength in the previous fight with him. Even if he activated the Haozhi blood in his body again, he would definitely not be able to withstand a few blows from Wang Jing.

Under the Huangyu Lie Sword, he was afraid that he would be roasted into a roasted pig.

"The wind is so tight!"

Seeing how brave Wang Jing and Taishi Ci were, Chang Xi immediately suppressed his greed, turned around and joined the fleeing team.

Upon seeing this, Wu Dun, Yin Li and Sun Guan ran away without saying a word. After all, their lives were their own. Wouldn’t they be waiting to die if they didn’t run?
Are you kidding? A thousand cavalrymen couldn't stop these fierce men in front of them. They were defeated in the blink of an eye. I don't have the ability to fly to the sky, so what can I use to turn the tide?

That's not how a tough guy would do it!
If you keep the green hills, you won’t have to worry about running out of firewood!
Sun Guan originally thought that he could have a fight, and no matter whether he won or lost, at least he could cause some damage to Wang Jing.

However, he did not expect that a series of miscalculations would eventually lead to the current crushing defeat. With an army of 10,000 troops attacking, they were unable to harm even a single hair of the 4,000 Qingzhou soldiers and were completely defeated.

This matter was handled so awkwardly that Sun Guan really wanted to curse Chang Xi's ancestors!
If Chang Xi hadn't made a series of wrong decisions, how could he have lost the battle so inexplicably?
Originally, he had contacted Xu Si and others in Yanzhou in advance, and colluded with many local noble families and wealthy families in Yanzhou, and worked together to secretly set up such a killing plan. It can be said that he took great pains.

Whether it was the weapons and food, or Tao Qian secretly sending Sun Guan to bring people to help, everyone had made the necessary preparations in advance, just waiting for the moment when Chang Xi's true intentions were revealed, to inflict heavy damage on the road construction team, thereby undermining Wang Jing's prestige.

As soon as this happens, the aristocratic families in Yanzhou who are dissatisfied with Wang Jing will take the opportunity to cause trouble for Wang Jing.

At that time, all he needs to do is find another opportunity to secretly connect with the princes from all directions and attack Yanzhou together. Even if Wang Jing has three heads and six arms, how can he resist the overall situation?

It’s a pity that the plan was well-made, but problems arose in the execution.

For his own selfish interests, Chang Xi insisted on hunting down Wang Jing and seizing the two magical weapons, the Hongming Knife and the Chunjun Sword.

The problem was that they failed to capture the enemy and instead lost an army of 10,000!

Sun Guan was so angry about this that he wanted to curse his mother. In his opinion, Chang Xi was simply a pig-brained person. Wang Jing was a martial arts master with a magical weapon in his hand. If he couldn't defeat him, couldn't he just run away?
He had to keep pursuing it, which resulted in the failure of his great plan. He was simply blinded by greed!
At this time, Chang Xi and Sun Guan both wanted to retreat, and the four of them immediately fled in all directions. It would have been fine for the others, but how could Wang Jing let Chang Xi, the leader of the Taishan bandits, escape successfully?

Since you dare to come to my territory and act wildly, then you'd better go back and stay here obediently to undergo labor reform, contribute to the revitalization of Yanzhou's development, and make contributions to building a better new Yanzhou!
Wang Jing led his men to pursue them relentlessly: "Yanzhou is not a place where you can come and go as you please. Stay and build the road. If you dare not obey, you will lose your head!"

"How dare you fight me, you coward!"

Taishi Ci rode three horses, holding a longbow in his hand, sitting on the ups and downs of the horse's back, and he could actually shoot arrows with amazing accuracy.

Almost every time an arrow was shot, an enemy was hit and fell.

The bowstring sounded continuously, each sound was fatal, and each arrow he shot was a soul-chasing and life-threatening arrow.

"Good archery!"

When Wang Jing saw this, he praised Taishi Ci and wanted to compete with him: "Ziyi, today we will see who has more achievements!"

With the Overlord Bow in his hand, although Wang Jing was galloping on horseback, his breathing gradually stabilized, his eyes were calm, and his arms, as if made of steel, held the bow and pulled the bowstring.

"go with!"

An arrow was shot out, and the wind roared, as if a dragon was roaring.

With a shrieking sound, the armor-piercing arrow tore a white wave in the air, and directly shot three of Chang Xi's guards to death on the spot.

The bodies of these three unlucky guys seemed to be shot by crossbow arrows from a heavy siege crossbow. Their corpses flew into the air, and when they landed on the ground, they rolled on the ground and knocked down several horse thieves.

The power of an arrow is so great!

"The Overlord's Divine Feather Arrow Sutra is truly extraordinary. This archery skill is comparable to the ancient Youqiong country's national magic skill, the Flying Bow Divine Shooting."

Even Taishi Ci, who was good at archery with his ape arms, almost popped his eyes out when he saw it. Although his arrows were extremely accurate and his archery skills were not slow, his power was still far less than that of Wang Jing.

He knew he couldn't kill three birds with one stone.

"My lord, your foundation is so solid, I cannot compare to you."

Taishi Ci immediately gave up the idea of ​​competing with Wang Jing in archery. Now, he only wanted to shoot and kill more enemies to prove his ability.

Wang Jing bent his bow and drew his arrow again. Chang Xi suddenly felt like a thorn in his back. He turned around and was instantly frightened. He knelt on the spot and begged for mercy: "I surrender! I surrender!"

How could Chang Xi not know the reputation of the former overlord's Divine Feather Arrow Sutra?
At this moment, Wang Jing showed his amazing archery skills that were almost comparable to that of the Overlord Xiang Yu. Chang Xi naturally knew that there was no way he could escape from Wang Jing's arrows. In order to save his life, he had no choice but to surrender.

Wang Jing put down the Overlord Bow in his hand, rode forward, and looked at the bandit leader kneeling on the ground: "Chang Xi, it seems that you and I are really destined to meet. Aren't we meeting again?"

"I have met Lord Qi."

Chang Xi knelt on the ground, prostrating himself, behaving extremely submissively. Where was the arrogance and conceit he had shown when he was fighting with Wang Jing before?

He even tried to suppress his hatred for the powerful. After all, he was a villain, not a fool. He knew that he should speak differently to different people.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Chang Xi was extremely arrogant in front of Sun Guan, with an overbearing attitude that he was the boss, the earth was second, and I was third, as if no one in the world was worthy of him bowing to.

In fact, when he really had to kneel, he would do it very quickly and without any hesitation.

But there was an inexplicable coldness in his eyes, which was a restrained cruelty and cunning.

For Chang Xi, surrender was just a temporary measure to save his life. At worst he could find a chance to slip away and make a comeback.

After all, he is a bandit, and no one can defeat him as long as he is shameless.

Chang Xi thought he was hiding it well, but he didn't know that his thoughts had been guessed clearly by Wang Jing long ago. After all, he was a ruthless character in history who surrendered to Cao Cao five times, betrayed Cao Cao five times, and repeatedly used the "Thousand Year Killing" on Boss Cao to make Boss Cao's anus burst into a twist.

How could Wang Jing dare to trust such a thing?

Chang Xi is a man who uses his moral integrity as a piece of toilet paper. Whoever believes in him will be in trouble.

But now he could get some words out of him, so Wang Jing asked directly in a cold voice: "Besides you, who else led the team to cause trouble to me today?"

"Ah, this..."

Chang Xi was embarrassed and said, "Lord Qi, even though I am a bandit, I put loyalty first. I will not betray my brothers."

In Chang Xi's opinion, he was somewhat famous in the Taishan area. After all, in these years of chaos and war, most of the ruthless people who could gather a team of 10,000 people to cause trouble would be recruited by various princes. Killing people and setting fires to get a gold belt, this has been the case in every dynasty.

Chang Xi was calculating in his mind, and it was not impossible for him to betray his teammates, but you, Qi Hou Wang Jing, had to show some respect to me and give me some treatment first, right?

As a result, Chang Xi looked up at Wang Jing eagerly, but what he saw was Wang Jing slowly drawing his sword.

The blade of the Hongming Sword is dark red, and it exudes a gorgeous and charming blood-red luster under the sunlight. Ever since it killed Liu Bian, who possessed the Han Fire Dragon Qi, it has become more and more magical.

Just by pulling it out, it emits a chilling light that captivates the heart.

And within the cold light there was a terrible heat that could burn a person to ashes.

Chang Xi didn't know the power of the divine fire, but he obviously knew how to write the word death.

When Wang Jing heard that Chang Xi refused to reveal the news, he thought of killing Chang Xi as a settlement.

The magic sword was unsheathed, ready to fall.

Chang Xi was sweating like a spring, and was shaking all over with fear. He then screamed, "Wait a minute, Lord Qi. I have something to say!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the blade of the Hongming Sword stopped on Chang Xi's forehead and did not continue to fall.

On the contrary, sweat was pouring down Chang Xi's forehead like a spring, with beads of sweat the size of beans falling continuously. Then, the howling north wind blew on him, and he suddenly felt a chill that froze his heart, causing Chang Xi to shiver uncontrollably.

"Why, didn't you say you wouldn't betray your brothers? I was just planning to fulfill your loyalty. By the way, what should be written on your tombstone after you die?"

Wang Jing smiled, and did not put the knife back into the sheath, but just hung it above Chang Xi's forehead.

Chang Xi was extremely depressed at the moment, thinking to himself, "Qi Hou, you are not playing by the rules? Who the hell would ask someone such a question? Are you sick?"
But Chang Xi only dared to curse in his heart.

When he looked up at Wang Jing, Chang Xi said in a flattering manner: "I have thought it over carefully. When a friend breaks the law, I should put down my relatives for the greater good. How can I condone and shield him just because of some personal feelings? Is this a good idea? This is not a good idea."

"Have you figured it out?"

Chang Xi was very upset: "I have thought it through very clearly."

"I won't embarrass you too much, right?"

"It's not difficult at all! I am doing this completely voluntarily, and I was not forced by Lord Qi."

Chang Xi said this almost with gritted teeth. He felt that he was already shameless enough, but when he met Wang Jing today, he finally understood what it meant that there is always someone higher than you.

His understanding of the lower limits of human morality is still too superficial and too hasty.

After Chang Xi explained everything, Wang Jing rushed back to Changyi. He immediately summoned Guo Jia and Xun You to discuss the matter and informed them in detail about Chang Xi's attack.

After learning the whole story, Guo Jia frowned and thought deeply, muttering: "Forget about Yin Li and Wu Dun. They are Taishan bandits. It is normal for them to work for money. But as for Sun Guan, as far as I know, he had already joined Tao Gongzu of Xuzhou when Dong Zhuo entered the capital, and he has made many military achievements. I am afraid that he has also mixed in this time with ulterior motives."

Wang Jing felt it was a pity: "I had too few cavalry to intercept all the other bandits who escaped. The Qingzhou soldiers only captured the infantry of the rebels. Unfortunately, these people were cannon fodder and knew nothing about the inside story. It would be better if we could capture Sun Guan and interrogate him."

Xun You pinched the mustache on his chin and said, "It's not hard to guess what Tao Gongzu is thinking. But Xu Si, this man colluded with Chang Xi and has great ambitions. How do you plan to deal with him, my lord?"

At present, there is only Chang Xi's confession that Xu Si colluded with the Taishan bandits to commit evil. This is legally untenable, at least not enough to prove Xu Si.

Because Chang Xi was a bandit from Taishan, and the confession of the bandit had no credibility at all.

Wang Jing pondered for a moment, and decided to play the long game: "Killing Xu Si right now will not make much sense except to vent my anger. Instead, it will alert the enemy and make the remaining people hide deeper. In order to catch all these people with ulterior motives in one fell swoop, let's keep Xu Si on the stage as a lure."

From a political perspective, simply killing Xu Si would obviously not solve the problem, and Yanzhou would not be stable and harmonious. After all, Wang Jing wanted to promote the new policy and distribute the benefits that were originally monopolized by the noble families and powerful families to the people. This move would inevitably lead to dissatisfaction among the noble families and powerful families. Even if Xu Si was killed, they would never obey obediently.

On the contrary, Xu Si was killed by Wang Jing without any solid evidence. This would cause panic and make some noble families and wealthy families who might have originally sided with Wang Jing worried that Wang Jing was a cruel and bloodthirsty person.

That's why Wang Jing deliberately left Xu Si as a hidden danger, and then used him as bait, secretly arranging people to keep a close eye on him. In this way, he could know who had the most frequent contact with Xu Si, and then set up a dragnet to catch all these people in one fell swoop.

Politics sometimes involves such dirty tricks.

Killing people with a knife directly is the work of a reckless person. He puts in ten points of effort but only achieves three or two points of effect. Not only is the efficiency extremely low, but it can also easily cause the situation to worsen. It is not what a wise person would do.

After dealing with Xu Si, the next step was Tao Qian.

The appearance of Sun Guan and his actions undoubtedly showed that Tao Qian was not content.

Wang Jing was speechless: "In my impression, Tao Qian should be an honest person. I don't think I have ever offended him. Why did he suddenly plot against me?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "My lord, honest people are also human beings, and naturally they can be dishonest sometimes."

"Oh, Fengxiao has something else in his words."

"My Lord, it is clear that Tao Gongzu of Xuzhou is no ordinary man. In March of the second year of Zhongping, Beigong Boyu and others led the Qiang and Hu to invade Sanfu. The late emperor sent the Left Cavalry General Huangfu Yizhen to lead an army to suppress the invasion. Huangfu Yizhen requested military generals to accompany him and appointed Tao Gongzu as the Yangwu Duwei to go on the expedition together. In just a few months, the rebels were defeated."

Guo Jia's words changed Wang Jing's impression of Tao Qian. He said in surprise, "So Tao Gongzu is quite capable."

Come to think of it, if he was really a waste, how could it be that in history, when Boss Cao was conquering Xuzhou, he fought for many years and failed to take it?
Among the heroes at the end of the Han Dynasty, Tao Qian was not weak in both literary talent and military strategy, but what really defeated Tao Qian was actually time. At this time, Tao Qian was already over the age of 60, an old man in his early sixties.

Even if a warrior is ambitious in his twilight years, his aged body is doomed to be unable to sustain the high-intensity battle for world domination. Tao Qian is no longer able to cope with the demands of both physical and mental strength.

Wang Jing was somewhat disappointed when he learned about Tao Qian's situation: "I thought he would be a good opponent, but I didn't expect him to beat up Nanshan Nursing Home."

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia and Xun You looked at each other and smiled, thinking that their lord's bad taste had come back again.

In order to establish their authority, other people's lords have to pretend to be mysterious every day. Only my lord is so free and unrestrained.

Sure enough, if you have enough strength, you can be so willful.

Guo Jia laughed and said, "My lord, why do you say that? This time, it is clear that Tao Gongzu is disrespectful to his elders. As the saying goes, the one who teases first is a lowly person, and will be beaten to death without complaint. Even if my lord imposes a slight punishment, it is reasonable."

Xun You also smiled and agreed, "It should be so."

Seeing the two men's attitude, Wang Jing was very satisfied, and said to Guo Jia: "Then I have to trouble you again this time, Feng Xiao. Let our pawn who refuses to be honest and obedient deal with Tao Qian, an honest man who is not so honest."

Although Wang Jing did not say who the chess piece was, Guo Jia knew that person's identity.

Who else could it be besides Cao Cao?
At first, they had agreed to expand eastward or southward, but after receiving some benefits from Wang Jing, they saw that Yanzhou was in turmoil, so they retreated to Xu County in southern Henan and waited and watched, salivating over Chenliu and ready to make a move.

It is obvious that Cao Cao was not willing to be Wang Jing's pawn and was still thinking about making a comeback. It is estimated that Chen Gong did a lot of fanning the flames behind the scenes.

Since Cao Cao refused to do his job obediently, Wang Jing had no choice but to send Guo Jia to warn Boss Cao and remind him that since he had taken the money, he had to do his job well and follow the agreed "original plan" to attack Jingzhou or Xuzhou.

In Wang Jing's opinion, Boss Cao would probably choose Xuzhou.

After all, Liu Biao of Jingzhou is obviously more difficult to deal with than Tao Qian.

Guo Jia said again: "My lord, before you go to Xu County, you should talk to someone first."

Wang Jing was curious when he heard this: "Who is Feng Xiao going to trick again?"

Guo Jia laughed and said, "It's just a casual chat, how can it be called a scam?"

Then Guo Jia's face straightened and he told Wang Jing the name of a man: "Jia wants to go to Nanyang to meet Yuan Gonglu." (End of this chapter)
