Proud Ruler of the World

Chapter 41 - Jiang Qing entered the camp

Jiang Qing led a few hundred people and rushed out, all of them were his personal guards, the personal guards of a thousand people, now only had a few hundred people left.

This was also the result of Chu Fanliang letting his father show mercy. Otherwise, if these hundred of people wanted to rush out while being surrounded by hundreds of thousands of people, it would just be a pipe dream.

Jiang Qing brought a few hundred people and rushed out, escaping in the direction he came from. Chu Zhi's army did not hesitate either, similarly, they led the two hundred thousand strong army to chase after him.

Jiang Qing had played a good trick, he could clearly control the hundred thousand people, and have them listen to his commands. However, he did not monopolize the authority. Instead, he released the power in his hands and let this group of cowards become commanders.

The group of fellows, who saw that the wind was not strong enough to protect their lives, ran away without a care in the world when faced with a slight setback. Even those who took Jiang Qing seriously in the beginning did not think much of him anymore.

Of course, they were all dead. Even though he had lost, he still had the Tiger Tally that was bestowed to him by the Emperor in his hands.

Chu Zhi led the two hundred thousand strong army and chased after them. One had to know that a marshal was the spirit of a marshal. If a marshal were to die, then the spirit of the army would perish. Naturally, they would lose without even having to fight.

Another two days had passed, the barricade that Chu Fanliang and the rest had set up had finally been levelled by the Heaven's Might's two hundred thousand new army. However, before they could even catch their breath, Jiang Qing and the other hundred people had already arrived in front of them.

The newly formed army of two hundred thousand was the home of the current Emperor Tianwei, led by the old general Situ Leshui. Situ Leshui was famous for being steady. Otherwise, Emperor Tianwei would not have given him the last of his troops.

Although there were tens of thousands of imperial guards, those were only imperial guards. Although their martial arts were powerful, very few people had been to the battlefield. In the past, they had always sent their men from the Northern Frontier to the Imperial City. But now that the Northern Frontier had escaped their control, their imperial guards lacked that sort of blood energy.

Situ Leshui was already in his fifties this year, and was already in his grandfather's generation. He stayed with Chu Zhi in the northern border for a few years, and after getting injured, he returned to the Imperial City, never coming out again to participate in the battlefield.

It was said that Situ Leshui and Chu Zhi had been at loggerheads when they were at the northern border. He had even fought a big battle once, so he could now command the final two hundred thousand soldiers of the might of the heavens.

Also, his granddaughter is the Queen of Heaven's Might. This also caused Emperor Tianwei to deeply believe this old general who didn't have a good opinion of Chu Zhi.

Jiang Qing and the rest stopped in front of the two hundred thousand strong army. Go and report to your current commander in chief, the defeated general, Jiang Qing, is here to meet you. " Jiang Qing himself sat on the horse and shouted towards the army camp.

When Jiang Qing and the rest had just arrived, some of the spies had already reported this matter to Situ Leshui. However, for some reason, Situ Leshui did not exist. So after a while, when no one came to take him to see their commander, he couldn't sit still.

"Oh? Jiang Qing? So it was Marshal Jiang. "Wait a moment, let's go report." Those few people guarding the outside of the camp seemed to ridicule them, and there were also other emotional factors. In short, all sorts of displeasure would appear on Jiang Qing's face.

But who was Jiang Qing? After all, he was the person that Chu Fanliang had personally helped with the forest dwelling. He wanted this effect, wanted internal conflict! Although Jiang Qing didn't want to on the outside, he was already blooming with joy on the inside.

"Let the general and his brothers into the camp!" Following the big sized man's shout, Jiang Qing and the rest entered the army camp.

They had been travelling for the past two days, even eating rations on horseback. They travelled without stopping, and only then did they manage to escape the pursuit of Chu Zhi's army and cavalry. It was also true that Chu Zhi's army numbered two hundred thousand, and compared to the speed of their journey, of course they wouldn't be able to compare to these few hundred people. Thus, they had the time to wait outside the army camp for their summons.

"Oh, isn't this Marshal Jiang? Why are there only these few people left? Where's the huge army of 100,000?" Situ Leshui said to Jiang Qing who was inside the tent.

"Don't mention it, it's Old Brother Hei!" You have to listen to what happened to your brother!

Isn't it obvious that I am leading two hundred thousand troops to look across the river at the northern border of the Weijiang? That summer, he had brazenly charged through the army despite having a Prime Minister as his father.

Furthermore, he's a general with many people at his disposal. During our discussion, he refused to listen to me and secretly crossed the river with those who supported him. "

"What?" "There's such a thing?" Situ Leshui was shocked. Although he knew that Jiang Qing did not have a huge army of one hundred thousand initially, he never expected it to not be so fast.

"Brother, listen to this brother first." When they saw Chu Zhi's troops, they thought that they could launch a beautiful sneak attack, but who would have thought that they would all have been annihilated. "

"Are they pig brains?" Situ Leshui slammed the table, scaring the assistant generals to the side.

Chu Zhi's army is rumored to only have a hundred thousand people, and they also have a hundred thousand people. He thought that his sneak attack would be able to kill all of Chu Zhi's troops, but he never thought that his hundred thousand people would be buried inside.

"I didn't agree with him, but he went on a rampage that summer and didn't even put me, the emperor's appointed marshal, in his eyes before leading his troops to launch a sneak attack."

"They lost a hundred thousand easily, and Chu Zhi's army didn't even suffer a lot of losses; not even twenty thousand."

"How is that possible? They also have many new recruits. These hundred thousand soldiers can at least take away tens of thousands of their soldiers! "

"There's nothing impossible, the battle just started not long ago, and Xia Zhi was already killed by someone. Moreover, it wasn't just him, the other commanders were all killed as well.

That group had been one hundred thousand recruits to begin with, so they didn't have much fighting experience. Even if they had some fighting strength, facing an army that didn't even have a commander, they could only surrender.

Out of the eighty thousand people who surrendered, a few tens of thousands were killed, while others were spread out among Chu Zhi's army camps. "Black!" Jiang Qing sighed, the way he looked at it, it was as if all of this was real.

Although it was all true, a large portion of it was due to him.

"After that, the northern army saw that we had not even fought properly and that there were no more than 100,000 people left. Only 100,000 people remained on the other side of the river and they started crossing the river like fierce tigers.

We've received word from His Majesty that there will be two hundred thousand reinforcements. That's why we planned to fight you to the death with them. We didn't expect them to be so fast.

There was also a road that was blocked. There was no way forward, no way back. My intention is to defend this place with my life, but even though I have a very high reputation in the military, I am still unable to withstand the provocation of someone who wishes for me. They were simply people who were afraid of death. He did not have the slightest bit of military bearing and directly fled to the prefectural city of Caixian without a fight.

Then the army of a hundred thousand scattered again. Furthermore, Chu Zhi's army was moving extremely fast, we had no choice but to fight with them. As a result, we were almost completely annihilated.

Those who escaped to the vicinity of Seven Stars Stronghold were not spared, and they even harassed the commoners … " Jiang Qing lowered his voice as he spoke.

"Damn, even pigs are stronger than them. Even if it's one hundred thousand pigs, I can take some of the Northern Frontier Army with me!" The heavens want my heavenly might to perish! " Situ Leshui began to whimper from there.

"Alright, you haven't had a good rest these few days. Let's talk after you've rested!"

"Okay, then I'll go rest first!" Jiang Qing yawned, then said his farewells to the generals in the army camp, found his own camp, and went to sleep.

"Did you see that? This is the result of disobeying orders, do you want to repeat the same mistake? " After Situ Leshui quieted down, he spoke to the remaining people in the tent with a dark expression.

"This lowly general thinks that Jiang Qing, as the defeated general and as a deserter, should be sent to the military for punishment! "Why the general?" A deputy general stood out and said to Situ Leshui.

"Hmph, how do you plan for yourself? He's been tired for so many days, what's wrong with letting him rest?"

"Yes, yes!" The man kept on saying yes, afraid that he would disobey Situ Leshui.

Jiang Qing returned to his own tent and couldn't help but shake his head, "Who could have predicted this?" Then he lay down on the bed and slept soundly.

At this time, Chu Fanliang was also in his tent, but he wasn't sleeping. Instead, he was discussing something with Chu Zhi and the others.

It was still daytime now, but Jiang Qing, who had not slept for two days and two nights, was the only one who would be sleepy for their hundreds of days. Why would people from the Chu Zhi Army be sleepy?

"Liang’er, we should hurry up our march! Jiang Qing and the rest have already entered. " Chu Zhi was still unfathomably deep as he stood in the tent and said.

"Mhmm, these few days it's been getting more and more restless. These killers are really like madmen who don't care about their lives."

"Oh right, dad, I remember now. Has the No. 3 assassin, Hei Ye You Shan Wen Bai, appeared before?" Chu Fanliang held onto a fan, and gently fanned it.

"No, I haven't seen him yet. What's wrong? Could it be that he also went out to fight? "
