Chapter 487 Let’s Have a Duel!

"Daojiu, Zhang Bao compromised! Then, using Wu Ba as a breakthrough point, we can gain great benefits!" Xi Zhicai, who was next to Lin Mu, showed a real expression after hearing Zhang Bao's roar.

Thousands of Taiping soldiers, even if they were wiped out, they would not be able to harm the Taiping Road. And it seems that those five Daqu commanders cannot be won in a short time. A truce is the best option!

"Zhicai knows things like a god!" Lin Mu said. Xi Zhicai had already mentioned Zhang Bao's reaction earlier.

Cui Wu, Huang Xu and others next to him also looked at Xi Zhicai with fiery eyes.

Is this the super strategist who strategizes and wins thousands of miles away? ! Sure enough!

Then, Lin Mu stepped off the boulder and ran to the front, asking Yu Jin and others to start a truce!

At the same time, Lin Mu was ready to have a good chat with Zhang Bao!

…

"The most important thing about Wu Ba is that he is the [First General of Faqiu]! There may be a special camp building on Taiping Road to cultivate gold captains, so this title may bring huge benefits to the camp!" Xi Zhicai He said with determination.

"Zhicai sees things much more clearly than we do. We have captured Wu Ba for so long, but we didn't even know Wu Ba was so important!" Feng Zhong, who was still standing on the boulder, looked at Xi Zhicai and said with relief.

It’s really much easier with a counselor here!

"Fengjin is so impressed. The attributes of [Faqiu No. 1 General] do not indicate that it has a bonus effect on territory buildings. It is understandable that everyone does not know about it. But now Dianwei is here to steal him. He must be very important." , everyone will know after a little analysis of Wu Ba's information that there is something wrong with the strange title like pioneer." Xi Zhicai smiled slightly and said modestly.

"Zhang Bao will definitely make a series of plans around Wu Ba, so it is easy to guess his next performance."

"However, looking at Zhang Bao's expression, something else might happen." Xi Zhicai actually understood Zhang Bao's every move.

"Chu Shi and I originally set up a murderous plot on the Black Dry Mountain, preparing to wipe out a wave of them. But just now I felt a strange power of calculation, which should be caused by the enemy. In this way, Zhang Bao may not enter the Black Dry Mountain! " Xi Zhicai said.

"Not entering the Black Dry Mountain? Then they gave up the tomb?"

"Very possible!" Xi Zhicai nodded.

"It's quite grand to just abandon the tomb palace!" Feng Zhong said.

"I heard that Zhang Jue is good at Taoism, and Taoism also includes divination. Will he figure out you, Fengxiao, and others?" Feng Zhong said. Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai are two super trump cards in the Dahuang territory.

"Definitely not!" Xi Zhicai said very confidently.

"Yes!" Since everything has been planned by Xi Zhicai, there is no need to worry.

"Zhicai, what do you think of Taiping Road and the Great Wilderness Territory?" Feng Zhong thought for a while and asked again. In fact, Feng Zhong also asked this question in private after Guo Jia entered the Great Wilderness territory.

Feng Zhong, like Lin Mu, attached great importance to Xi Zhicai, so he asked about the same topic that he had mentioned in private greetings with Guo Fengxiao earlier.

Xi Zhicai didn't answer immediately. He rubbed his chin for a while, pondered for a while and then said quietly:

"There are many differences between the Great Wilderness Territory and Taiping Road."

"First of all, the power base is different. Daojiu's Great Wilderness Territory is still very weak at present. It cannot have a large-scale conflict with Taiping Dao. This is detrimental to the development of the territory. Therefore, the degree of hostility to it must be controlled!"

"Since we and Taiping Dao are already enemies, we must show an image of being invincible so that Taiping Dao will think that we are an enemy force with average background and not a very difficult opponent! In this way, Taiping Dao will not We will use all our strength to target the Great Wilderness Territory.”

"This enemy has been dealt with. Five thousand 'super elites', six generals, and one divine general! This is what the enemy thinks is all our strength and heritage. When Dianwei returns, he may take Fengjin Report the erratic situation, that way, the effect will be better! Ordinary soldiers, Taipingdao will not be afraid, they have a deeper background in this aspect than Longting, and we are all here. 'The peak appearance will definitely let Taiping Dao have a detailed understanding! In this way, they will not carry out a devastating blow to the Great Desolate Territory!

"Secondly, the strategic goals of the two are different..." After a slight pause, Xi Zhicai added: "The strategic goal of the Great Wilderness Territory is to develop slowly. Only when the Dragon Lord is exhausted and chaos breaks out will he show his sharpness. And Taiping Dao, his strategic goal is too big and arrogant, he actually wants to break through the cage and conquer the world before the strength of the Han Dynasty is exhausted! "

"Taiping Dao, I have been paying attention to it for a long time. Although it seems to have the power to sweep the world, it is only among the ordinary classes. These ordinary classes have a very weak impact on Longting. If it had not obtained the divine order, The probability of success is basically 10%, or even lower! The water in Dahan Longting is very deep!”

"Furthermore, the directions of talents are different. Forces with Taoism as the core will not be favored by high-level talents in China! Many hidden talents avoid them. Even if they activate the dragon vein, there will be no It’s too developed. Because its main body is still Taiping Road, which is fundamentally different from the Great Wilderness Territory!”

"To put it simply, the Great Wilderness Territory is more attractive to high-level talents than Taiping Road, but less attractive to ordinary people."

"This is the inherent disadvantage of Taiping Road and the inherent advantage of the Great Wilderness Territory!"

"The Taiping Dao can accumulate such a foundation because of this inherent disadvantage of Taoism. It has a strong appeal to ordinary people and can quickly accumulate basic strength. But having basic strength is not enough. Peak strength is the decisive factor. Therefore, the fate of the Taiping Dao has been doomed to failure from the beginning!" Xi Zhicai said in a serious tone.

"Although the Great Wilderness Territory develops slowly, its momentum will slowly accumulate. When the momentum is strong, it is not without opportunities to compete for the world!"

"The potential of the Great Wilderness Territory is stronger than that of the Taiping Dao!"

Xi Zhicai kept communicating with Feng Zhong.

...

While Xi Zhicai was communicating with Feng Zhong, many things happened on Lin Mu's side.

As the giants of both sides decided to cease fire, the black and yellow waves began to slowly separate.

However, the two sides, with the same 5,000 soldiers, had completely different results after the first battle.

Among the 5,000 soldiers on Lin Mu's side, not many elite soldiers died. The bodies of the fallen soldiers were quickly collected by their comrades and returned to their own camp in an orderly manner.

The number of Taipingdao soldiers who fell on the opposite side was obviously much larger, and the bodies lying on the ground were a large area of ​​yellow.

Those panicked Taipingdao soldiers did not even clean up the bodies, and ran back to the formation organized by Zhang Bao.

Lin Mu led six tiger generals and confronted Zhang Bao and his six men.

"Lin Mu, why did you attack our Holy Church soldiers? Why did you ruthlessly kill our comrades?" Zhang Bao shouted loudly.

Facing Zhang Bao's scolding, Lin Mu was not angry at all, and said calmly: "Oh, this! I thought it was the bandits from Yuju Mountain Range who wanted to sneak attack our camp, so I hurriedly dealt with them!"

"However, I didn't expect that those cowardly bandits were actually the members of Taipingdao! Haha... I'm sorry! Please forgive me." Lin Mu said sarcastically with a calm face.

"You..." Hearing Lin Mu describe them as cowardly bandits, Zhang Bao glared and wanted to refute, but he had no reason to refute.

How to say that they are not cowardly bandits? Or are they not here to launch a sneak attack? No matter which one, it is a loss of face.

Lin Mu's indifferent look made Zhang Bao angry, as if those Taiping Dao soldiers who fell in a pool of blood were like grass.

"I wonder what this wise and brilliant general's name is?" Lin Mu said with a teasing look.

Zhang Bao could hear Lin Mu's sarcasm, and his face became more angry, and he shouted: "Listen to me, I am Zhang Bao, the [God Envoy] of the Taiping Holy Church!"

Zhang Bao always called the Taiping Dao the Holy Church.

"Oh, it turns out to be Zhang Shangshi!" Lin Mu said with an exaggerated look on his face, as if he had heard some earth-shattering information.

However, this look, in Zhang Bao's eyes, was even more sarcastic.

"Too arrogant, you..." Zhang Bao's anger became even worse.

This guy who came from a remote place, as shabby as a farmer and merchant in the countryside, actually dared to ridicule the God Envoy of the Holy Church! It was really too arrogant!

"General!" Guo Tu called softly at this time, pulling Zhang Bao's armor.

Guo Tu knew Zhang Bao's character very well, he was an irritable person.

At this time, we must not let the enemy restrain Zhang Bao's emotions, which is very detrimental to the subsequent plan, so Guo Tu stood up to remind him.

Zhang Bao heard this and came back to his senses, feeling rude. After glaring at Lin Mu fiercely, he suppressed his anger and did not lose his temper.

Zhang Bao took a few deep breaths. If he was not afraid, Zhang Bao would have tried his best to kill this man!

And Lin Mu, seeing Guo Tu's actions, raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking: "Is this the counselor in Xi Zhicai's mouth? A first-class historical counselor, hehe..."

Lin Mu already knew that Guo Tu's level of historical counselor was completely different from Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai!

"Sir, I don't know how to address you?" Lin Mu asked calmly.

And Zhang Bao next to him snorted again when he saw Lin Mu like this.

"I am just a nobody, how can I deserve General Lin Mu's concern." Guo Tu said modestly.

"Sir, you are too modest! To be able to stand among the generals, you must be extraordinary." Lin Mu looked at Guo Tu with interest and praised him.

Although he is a first-class historical strategist, he is also a top talent resource and should not be easily offended.

Guo Tu shook his head gently, did not respond to Lin Mu's words, and fell silent.

Zhang Bao, who had regained his composure, held back his displeasure and said calmly: "General Lin, to make a long story short, Wu Ba in your hands is a Chengyu Taoist disciple of my Holy Church, and his family members are all in my Holy Church. His parents are very concerned about Wu Ba and want Wu Ba to go back to fulfill his filial piety. Sima Lin will not refuse! Of course, Wu Ba is just going back to fulfill his filial piety, and he will return to work under Sima Lin!"

Will he come back? Believe your lies!

Zhang Bao, from the perspective of a filial son, persuaded Lin Mu to hand over Wu Ba to him, wanting to get something for nothing.

However, Lin Mu is not someone who can be fooled casually.

Lin Mu said with a playful look on his face: "Although Wu Ba is a believer of your religion, he has already entered the government in order to bring honor to his family. He joined our Han army and served as a deputy general under me. In order to provide a stable environment for the people of the world, Wu Ba is willing to do his best. So I hope to bring his relatives to Dongye City, and your religion can make it convenient! The general does not want Wu Ba to become a disloyal and unfilial person."

If he wants to talk nonsense, Lin Mu will not show weakness.

"Hmph..." Zhang Bao snorted coldly. Wu Ba was originally loyal to Taiping Dao and was captured by you. Now he is discussing the issue of disloyalty and unfilial piety. It is really shameless.

Zhang Bao did not get angry this time and continued: "In that case, let's have a betting battle. We will send a general here, and you will send a general there. Wu Ba will be used as a bargaining chip. Whoever wins will win. who!"

Zhang Bao said this according to the plan designed by Guo Tu earlier.

"It's not impossible to have a gambling battle, but why is it that Wu Ba is the only one with this bargaining chip? You, a great sect, actually want to be a white wolf with nothing, haha..." Lin Mu looked playful again.

Guo Tu looked at Lin Mu and kept analyzing Lin Mu at this time in his heart. He didn't expect that Lin Mu could be so calm.

"What do you think?" Zhang Bao said.

"In this way, the gambling war can proceed, but if we have Wu Ba here, you will also have a share of chips! How about it!" Lin Mu said.

"Okay! How about I pay you a thousand gold coins?"

"Pfft...what did you say?" Lin Mu asked with a laugh after hearing this. The expression this time was not intentional, but really made Zhang Bao laugh.

For such an important Wu Ba, you actually offered a thousand gold coins. How stupid are you!

Guo Tu, who was next to Zhang Bao, was also slightly startled. This local general didn't play according to the routine! Didn't you agree to produce the Xuanji illustrated book? It seems that Zhang Bao still views Lin Mu with a high level of dignity!

"Although we are all poor, Wu Ba is a great talent. How can he be worth only a thousand gold coins? If one thousand is followed by ten thousand words, that's okay!" Lin Mu joked.

"Ten million, do you dare to accept it?" Zhang Bao laughed angrily. Even Zhang Bao would not take out ten million gold coins so easily.

The foundation of Taiping Dao is sufficient, but it is only in terms of basic talents, resources, etc. There is not much real money.

"Haha... People die for money, and birds die for food! A poor man like me dares to accept any number of gold coins!" Lin Mu said with a smile.

However, Lin Mu's expression suddenly changed and he said: "Well, I heard that Envoy Zhang has a golden talisman in his hand. How about using it as a bargaining chip?"

Lin Mu directly stated his purpose.

"How do you know I touched the Golden Captain's Talisman?" Zhang Bao blurted out this sentence and was surprised when he heard this.

"Haha, I have my own channels. How about it? Do you dare to bet?" Lin Mu said confusedly.
