Chapter 285 Preparing for the Battle
Looking at Wang Ying kneeling in front of him, Xu Xiao said with a smile.
"Okay, get up now."
"I have one more thing I need you to do."
"Once this is accomplished, you and I will benefit for the rest of our lives!"
After hearing what Xu Xiao said, Wang Ying quickly stood up and asked in confusion.
"Lord, please tell me what's going on."
As Wang Ying finished speaking, Xu Xiao looked at him and answered slowly.
"I plan to have you lead a thousand Blood Armor Guards to the Northern Ming territory."
"Bring back the Bodhi seed for me!"
After hearing Xu Xiao's answer, Wang Ying was shocked.
"Could it be that... the Ming royal family is really the descendant of the Ming Cult?!"
"Yes, the Ming royal family is the remnant of the Ming Cult, so this is why I want to launch a coup."
Facing the shocked Wang Ying, Xu Xiao told the whole story without hiding anything.
The reason why the Ming Cult declined was because it was unkind.
It is even said that for the sake of martial arts, people brutally sacrificed human blood to gain extraordinary powers!
Finally, the entire continent joined forces to destroy this once-powerful sect.
Now, Zhu Qiyu of Beiming has been dreaming.
Together with Xu Xiao, he weakened the power of Qi and Xia, and thus annexed the two countries in one fell swoop.
Restore the Ming Dynasty to its former glory as the Ming Cult!
What Zhu Qiyu did not expect was that the Ming Kingdom was the descendant of the Ming Cult.
Wang Ying had already told Xu Xiao about this, so how could Xu Xiao possibly let him have his way?!
Thinking of this, Wang Ying said nothing, but just knelt on the ground with a serious face.
"Don't worry, my lord. I will definitely bring you the Bodhi seeds!"
Seeing that Wang Ying accepted his order, Xu Xiao smiled and nodded.
"Don't worry, I heard there are still three Bodhi seeds left in the world."
"Then I will reward you with one, and we, the king and my subject, will be invincible in the world together!"
Hearing this, a glimmer of desire flashed in Wang Ying's eyes.
Under the great temptation of the Bodhi seeds' ability to improve martial arts skills, Wang Ying quickly led his men out of the city.
Looking at Wang Ying leaving, Xu Xiao raised a faint smile.
At the same time, Jiang Chen and more than 50,000 people had arrived near Guanling County on the front line.
Just as Jiang Chen's army was marching towards Guanling County, the scouts in front rushed back on horseback.
The scout came to Jiang Chen's horse, dismounted, knelt on the ground, and spoke loudly.
"Report, report to the lord, the Qi and Beiming coalition forces have received the news that the lord is leading his army to come."
"Twenty thousand troops have been sent here, and now they are only ten miles away from our army!"
Hearing the news brought back by the scout, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile slightly.
"It seems that Qi and Beiming welcome me very much, and they have sent people to greet us."
"My lord, Qi and Beiming have sent 20,000 troops to us. Aren't they looking down on us too much?!"
Du Mingyu on the side shouted carelessly and rode his horse to Jiang Chen's side.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen raised a barely perceptible smile.
At this moment, Huo Xiangche, who was standing by, rode forward and whispered to Jiang Chen.
"My lord, I feel something is wrong."
"Beiming and Qi have fought against us before. It is impossible for them to send only 20,000 troops to deal with us."
"I suspect they must have set an ambush on the road!"
After listening to Huo Xiang's words, Jiang Chen nodded in agreement.
"I have also thought of this. It is even possible that Xu Song State was involved."
"In order to destroy me, these three forces really put in a lot of effort..."
Having said that, Jiang Chen smiled slightly and turned his head to look at Chang Yuchun's army behind him.
Seeing Jiang Chen's expression, Prime Minister Huo on the side smiled knowingly.
"My Lord, are you planning to let Chang Yuchun..."
"Well, that's right. Since they are so well prepared, we must cooperate!"
After saying that, Jiang Chen turned around and rode his horse to Chang Yuchun with Huo Xiang and others.
Chang Yuchun, who was leading his troops forward, looked at Jiang Chen and others who were walking towards him.
He quickly reined in his horse and saluted Jiang Chen.
"Lord Jiang, why don't you keep going forward? Did something happen?"
Chang Yuchun smiled cheerfully and asked Jiang Chen respectfully.
However, knowing that Qi and Beiming had already set up an ambush ahead, he sneered in his heart.
Before Chang Yuchun could react, Jiang Chen spoke.
"Well, the Northern Ming sent 20,000 troops here."
"I have seen that the soldiers under your command are already filled with righteous indignation. Why don't you let the general deal with these 20,000 people?"
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Chang Yuchun was completely stunned.
How come this is completely different from what they planned!
According to the development of the story, it should not be Jiang Chen who led people into the encirclement.
Then he, Chang Yuchun, led an army of 30,000 to cooperate with the coalition forces of Beiming and Qi to wipe out Jiang Chen's army! ?
Seeing the flash of shock in Chang Yuchun's eyes, Jiang Chen became more certain of his guess.
After a while, Chang Yuchun came back to his senses.
In a hurry, without time to think, he spoke to Jiang Chen anxiously.
"Lord Jiang, I'll leave the credit for this first battle to you!"
"I am just a rough man, I really can't bear this title."
Hearing Chang Yuchun refuse his order, Jiang Chen calmly took out a token.
"How can that be possible? Besides, Lord Xu said so before we set off."
"General Chang and the 30,000 men under your command must obey my orders!"
As he spoke, Jiang Chen threw the token into Chang Yuchun's hand.
When Chang Yuchun saw the token thrown by Jiang Chen, he was about to say something else but his mouth was suddenly blocked.
This token is exactly the tiger talisman that Xu Xiao uses to mobilize troops on a daily basis!
With this token, all the military forces of Xu Song State can be mobilized.
But what Chang Yuchun couldn't understand was that he had clearly planned it with Bei Ming and Qi.
How come now, my uncle suddenly changed his mind?
He actually gave such an important token to Jiang Chen? !
After checking the token in his hand several times, Chang Yuchun did not find anything suspicious.
The only thing he could be sure of was that this was indeed the tiger talisman that Xu Xiao used to mobilize troops!
"Why, General Chang, you don't believe what I said?"
"Or is it that General Chang intends to disobey Lord Xu's orders?"
Jiang Chen looked at Chang Yuchun who was standing there doubting his life, and shouted loudly while suppressing the laughter in his heart.
After being scolded by Jiang Chen, Chang Yuchun had no choice but to grit his teeth and hand the token back.
"Since this is the order from the Lord, I am willing to obey your wishes!"
"All the generals, listen to my orders and follow me to meet the minions of Beiming and Qi!"
Chang Yuchun gritted his teeth and shouted to the 30,000 soldiers behind him.
"I obey your orders!"
Following Chang Yuchun's order, 30,000 Xu Song soldiers shouted in unison.
