Chapter 58 - Sayoko

Wu Jie and Wu Lin had already left the Dazhang Pass and the two of them were a little disheartened!

They had clearly obtained such a victory, but now it was impossible for them to even meet the crown prince once!

"Big brother, why do you think the Crown Prince isn't willing to see us?" Wu Lin said.

"I think it's not that the crown prince is unwilling to see us, but that someone is unwilling to let us see the crown prince!" Wu Jie coldly snorted.

"Someone's here? Could it be Zhe Yanwen? " Wu Lin said.

"Not only Zhe Yanwen, but the old thief Zhe Keqiu as well!" Wu Jie said.

As famous generals in the Southern Song Dynasty, only second to Yue Fei in terms of intelligence, the two of them quickly thought of the suspicious points!

"When His Highness saw us first, his expression was joyful. This is definitely not a fake! When we returned from our victory, he was extremely excited. We saw all of this! His Highness the Crown Prince and Master Li Gang wanted to seal us as oppressors, but they were stopped by Zhe Keqiu, the old thief! The Crown Prince is treating us so well, how could he not see us before he left? Therefore, it was all the father and son's idea! " Wu Jie said.

"Are they afraid that our contributions will affect his position?" Wu Lin said.

"I'm afraid that's not all … I think this Zhe Keqiu has a greater goal! When he was with the crown prince, although he appeared to be respectful on the surface, in reality, he gave off the feeling of being extremely domineering, as if he did not place the crown prince in his eyes! I think that this person is disobedient! " Wu Jie suddenly said.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Wu Lin was shocked, but when he thought about it again, he nodded and said, "Could it be that Zhe Keqiu wants to seize the heaven's son and make it available to the dukes?"

These two were famous scholars who knew how to fight. Other than the fact that they could fight, these two also knew how to run an official's office! For example, Wu Jie had achieved two towns of throttling, Sichuan Province's Envoy Xuan, Kaiyi and the Three Divisions. When Wu Lin was still alive, he was bestowed the title of a new Duke An, becoming a high official like the Imperial Tutor. After he died, he was also bestowed the title of Grand Tutor. They had only analyzed it in such a manner, yet they had managed to figure out everything!

"He told us to go to the Fengxiang Residence. Before he left, he didn't even allow us to pay a visit to His Highness the Crown Prince. He thinks that when we reach the Fengxiang Residence, the Nvzhen will continue to attack, and that if we don't compare to the Dazhang Pass, we won't be able to defend, and at that time, we'll just have to die! Even if we aren't dead, but we have lost our Fengxiang Residence, he can still behead us for losing territory! This Zhe Keqiu, he is really scheming! " Wu Jie's face carried a cold smile.

"Big brother, what should we do now?" Wu Lin said.

"When we reach the Fengxiang Residence, we definitely won't die! According to my analysis, the Nvzhen will not attack again! From last year to this year, it was time for them to recuperate for a while! Furthermore, even if they want to attack, I have the confidence to defeat them in Fengxiang Residence! "What we need to do now is to accumulate strength and expand our military strength. When necessary, we need to go to the Working King to rescue His Highness the Crown Prince!" Wu Jie said.

Wu Lin nodded at the side, he turned and looked at the direction of the Dazhang Pass, revealing a look of worry! The two brothers were good at war and government affairs, and had extraordinary capabilities. However, these two brothers were different from Zhe Keqiu, they were loyal to the Song Dynasty, and had never done anything disloyal to the Song Dynasty before! After all, they were all scholars, and were influenced by the Confucian loyalty and righteousness, so they were far stronger than Zhe Keqiu! Wu Lin was truly worried for Zhao Chen, the crown prince!

"Brother, let's go!" There was no point in worrying about it now! Only by saving our strength can we help the crown prince escape danger! " Wu Jie said.

Wu Lin nodded, then the two of them led the soldiers to the north …

Jin Wushu, Wanyan Loushi are still on the road now, they have fought in a battle that had never happened before in Nvzhen, and both of them felt that they had lost a lot of face!

"Fourth Prince, we were defeated in this battle in a muddle! The enemy's victory was entirely due to the terrain! That Dazhang Pass and Monk Yuan's terrain is too steep, and we were too tired from the journey, so we failed! Plus, our food had been robbed, so we can't stay here any longer! If we have enough food, we should be able to break through Monk Yuan and Dazhang Pass! " Wanyan Loushi rode on his horse and sighed.

"That's right!" We have already taken down a strong city like the Taiyuan City, and we have even taken down the Chinese capital Kai Feng. How can a mere Dazhang Pass be able to stop us! It's all my fault for using force and irritating, damn it! " Jin Wushu clenched his teeth and said.

The reason for their failure was firstly because of the terrain, and secondly because of the fact that Jin Army had been running west and west, and had long since reached the end of her strength. thirdly because of the fact that Wu Jie was using troops like a god, and although it was only a sneak attack, but he had also taken the enemy's mentality into consideration, which was why he was able to force Nvzhen and Monk Yuan out of Dazhang Pass in one battle! In addition, Wu Jie had arranged for Yang Congyi to rob the Nvzhen of its provisions in advance, which caused the Nvzhen to have no choice but to retreat! If they were to truly compare their strength, if they were to truly fight on the plains, there was still a huge gap between them and the Nvzhen.

However, in the era of cold weapons, war wasn't something that one could win just by being strong. The role of a high-ranking officer was extremely important! And they undoubtedly had yet to realize the important role of Wu Jie in the war!

"After we reach the Chang'an City, we will rest there for two months, prepare all the rations and supplies, and then attack the Dazhang Pass. I don't believe that I can't defeat the Dazhang Pass!" Jin Wushu said.

Wanyan Loushi nodded and said, "At that time, it would be much easier to walk on the mountain road with the blooming of flowers in the spring! Moreover, at that time, the two marshals Zong Han and Zong Wang will also come. We will attack a mere mountain pass with one hundred thousand troops, no problem at all! "

Jin Wushu nodded, he turned and looked at his own army, and realised that because of the loss of the battle, his troops had a trace of sadness on their faces! Jin Wushu clenched his teeth, he knew that it would take some time before he could restore the morale of the army! Resting in Chang'an City for two months was very necessary!

A few female True Soldiers came to the front of Jin Wushu and Wanyan Loushi, and one of the captain of the squadron said: "Fourth Prince, Warranty, there is a Han Scholar in front. They said that they have come under the orders of the Grand Marshal!"

Jin Wushu was startled, and said: "Han Scholar? "By order of the marshal?"

Wanyan Loushi then asked, "Could it be Daoist Free and Unrestrained?"

The captain said, "That person claims to be a free and unrestrained son!"

Jin Wushu anxiously said: "So it's him, I have heard of his name for a long time, quickly invite him!"

As they were talking, a man was approaching from the distance! The man seemed to be a scholar, and he sat on a dark horse. The horse was unusually tall and sturdy, much more than ordinary horses. The horse's fur glittered brightly. It was obvious that it was no ordinary horse!

Jin Wushu's face revealed a surprised expression, and said: "Dark Cloud!"

By the side, Wanyan Loushi had already rushed forward. He did not see the scholar and shouted loudly: "Mr. Free and Unrestrained Child, is that you? You actually came to the northwest! "

The scholar on the horse was naturally the free and unrestrained child. At this moment, the free and unrestrained child laughed loudly and said: "Warranty, it's been a long time since we last met!"

At this point, Wanyan Loushi had already seen the horse Xiao Yunzi was riding. He was shocked as he said, "I never thought that the Grand Marshal would actually give the Dark Cloud Swamp to Master!"

So it turns out that the Dark Cloud Beast was the mount of the female Grand Marshal Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zonghan liked it a lot! Normally, it was impossible for ordinary soldiers to even get close to this dark cloud, but now, this horse was actually riding under the feet of a free and unrestrained child!

At this moment, he had already arrived in front of Wanyan Loushi. He immediately cupped his hands together and said: "I, under the orders of Grand Marshal, want to kill Crown Prince of the Great Song Dynasty Your Highness! Time was of the essence, and the marshal had lent me the Dark Cloud! "This horse travels a thousand miles a day. Without it, I would have needed a few days to catch up to you!"

At this time, Jin Wushu had already rushed over. He bowed towards the unrestrained child and said, "Mr. unrestrained son, the Grand Marshal actually wants you to chase down Crown Prince of the Great Song Dynasty? Don't tell me he doesn't plan to mobilize his heavy soldiers to kill Crown Prince of the Great Song Dynasty? "

"I have something I want to tell the two generals. The Grand Marshal said that the situation in Hebei, HeDong, and Henan is unstable, and there are rebellion from the Chinese troops everywhere. The Grand Marshal ordered the two generals to return to the Kaifeng City to discuss the annihilation of the northern armies. As for the matter of chasing and killing the Crown Prince of the Great Song Dynasty, you can only leave it to me, a martial artist! "

Jin Wushu was surprised for a moment, and said: "The north is filled with Chinese troops? Could it be that the Generalissimo could not handle these Chinese troops? He still has tens of thousands under his command! "

"The Grand Marshal wants to escort the Great Song Emperor, the Supreme Emperor, as well as his countless concubines, palace maids, possessions and craftsmen to the Northern Shang Jing City. Thus, he can only hand over the matter of annihilating the Chinese army to the two generals!"

Jin Wushu frowned and said: "A few days ago, we were near the Dazhang Pass and we just suffered a defeat. I was just about to take revenge in my heart! I am not willing to leave here now! "

The free and unrestrained child smiled slightly and said: "Song Army's strength is low, even if you occasionally win it was because of a trick. Fourth Prince will come here to take revenge after we've completely wiped out the bandits in the north! "

Jin Wushu sighed softly, and said: "That's the only way!"

Wanyan Loushi said: "Sir, the matter of chasing Crown Prince of the Great Song Dynasty can only be left to you! I wonder if Sir has the confidence to kill Crown Prince of the Great Song Dynasty? "

The unrestrained child's face revealed a confident smile, and said: "A trivial ten year old youth, wanting to kill him is as easy as flipping my hand! Right now, the only expert beside the Crown Prince is Zhe Keqiu, although Zhe Keqiu's name is famous, but he might not be my opponent! After I kill the Crown Prince of the Great Song Dynasty, I will find the Imperial Jade Seal and hand it to the Grand Marshal! Later on, I will find a chance to assassinate the Kang Wang Zhao Zhuang and completely sever all of his blood! "

After talking for a while, the man said goodbye and left for the west on his black cloud...

At the moment, in the Dazhang Pass, Zhao Chen, Li Gang and the rest were packing up, preparing to leave for Middle Han Area!

Before leaving, Zhao Chen once again came to the Dazhang Pass, and looked towards the north with a complicated gaze!
