Chapter 447 Flag Sacrifice

Leting County. Read М

After Zhongli escorted three hot air balloons to Qinzhou, he returned here again.

In addition to ordering the fleet to cooperate with Bai Shang to harass Ningjindusi, he also had to receive the Beidi spies captured by the fleet at sea.

"Your Highness, this is the Beidi spy. We have interrogated him on the ship. His name is Zhuoge, and he is the deputy commander of the Beidi Black Iron Guard." Zhou Yi said.

Zhao Xu nodded gently.

The three words "Black Iron Guard" are not unfamiliar to him.

Tuoba Lie, who once conspired with the Zhang family to kill him, is a member of the Black Iron Guard.

And he is the commander.

"Your Highness? You are the King of Yan!"

At this time, Zhuoge was escorted by two people. Hearing Zhou Yi's words, he looked at the young man in front of him who was about seventeen years old in front of him in surprise.

Leaving Fanyang by boat, their ship was attacked by pirates in the waters of Leting County.

Outnumbered and captured.

Thinking of the rumors, he immediately realized that this might be the pirates who attacked their Beidi fleet.

Moreover, the pirates' ships were very tall, which made him more certain of this.

He originally thought that the pirates' attack on the Beidi fleet was just a misunderstanding.

So after getting on the ship, he tried his best to explain that the Beidi were not targeting them, and took the initiative to reveal his identity in order to negotiate with the pirates.

He hoped to clarify the misunderstanding and persuade the pirates to use it for his own benefit.

However, the pirates laughed very ambiguously at that time.

He was also very confused for a while.

Now he finally understood that there were no pirates, it was just a trick of the King of Yan.

The Beidi fleet was destroyed by the King of Yan's people.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel cold from head to toe.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, King Yan, you hid it too deeply, you actually built such a huge ship by hiding the truth from the world." Zhuo Ge laughed bitterly.

He and the Yuan family, and even the Dasong clan, probably knew that the King of Yan was building ships in secret.

But in their understanding, the King of Yan only built warships such as tower ships.

So, even if the King of Yan discovered their plan, he couldn't stop it.

However, he could never have imagined that the King of Yan would build such a big ship.

"Yes, isn't it surprising?" Zhao Xu's expression was full of teasing.

In front of Zhuoge, he did not hide his identity.

He also did not hide his relationship with the fleet.

After all, if he fell into his hands, this Zhuoge would have no choice but to die.

His eyes suddenly burst into deep hatred.

Zhuoge suddenly tried to rush towards Zhao Xu, and the soldiers guarding him immediately pressed him to the ground.

"King of Yan, the death of 100,000 Beidi soldiers will eventually be repaid with your blood. The great Khan will not only cut you into pieces, but also slaughter the entire northern four counties from top to bottom, leaving no one alive!" Zhuoge's eyes were filled with bloodshot, and he shouted hoarsely.

On the way north, the floating corpses of Beidi soldiers could be seen everywhere on the sea.

He hated the King of Yan more when he didn't see a corpse of a Beidi soldier.

"According to you, it is natural for invaders to kill people, but those who are invaded should die if they resist, right?" Zhao Xu squatted down and looked directly at Zhuo Ge.

"King Yan, don't you even understand the principle of the survival of the fittest? What's the matter with plundering or not? Sheep should be eaten by wolves." Zhuo Ge's expression was gloomy and he sneered.

Zhao Xu heard this and slowly stood up and said to Chang Wei, Bai Shang and other generals: "You all heard it with your own ears. After you go back, tell these words to your soldiers. The war between you and Bei Di will not end until one side falls."

He deliberately brought up this sentence in order to make the soldiers more determined to fight Bei Di to the end in the future.

Then he said to Zhuo Ge: "But you are wrong about one thing. You Bei Di are wolves, but I am a tiger, and a tiger that only eats wolves."

Zhuo Ge's face changed, "Do you think you can destroy my Bei Di with the power of the four northern counties alone?"

"Yes, and I will definitely be able to, but unfortunately, you will not see that day." Zhao Xu sneered again and again.

Looking at Fan Yang, he suddenly changed the subject, "You and Yuan Li planned the fake imperial guards together, right?"

Zhao Xu's words turned too fast, Zhuo Ge didn't react for a while, and was stunned for a while, and suddenly said: "Don't waste your energy. At the beginning, you didn't get anything out of Tuoba Lie's mouth? You can't get anything out of me either."

Zhao Xu has a lot of knowledge about micro-expressions in his mind.

He also included this knowledge in the textbooks given to Xu Ke.

The pupils are slightly dilated, representing emotions such as surprise, anger, and fear.

And when he said this suspicion, Zhuo Ge's pupils dilated slightly.

"This king doesn't need you to admit it, just take your hand and press a finger print on the charge." Zhao Xu said.

He knew very well that even if he held the real evidence against Yuan Li's forehead, he would not admit it.

After all, Yuan Li would not be convicted in the court based on Zhuo Ge's confession alone.

So, he didn't care whether the confession was true or false.

With Zhuoge and the evidence, he had a reason to send troops to attack Yuan Li.

After all, they were in the middle of a war, and he could take advantage of the situation.

Even if the court investigated him after the war, he could say that he was just in case.

"Put him and Ulanba in the same cell, and remember to separate them." Zhao Xu reminded him.

"King Ulanba also..." Zhuoge looked ashen after hearing these three words.

Zhao Xu ignored him and turned to Chang Wei and said, "It's enough to leave 40,000 people in Yanguan. You lead 60,000 people to attack Fanyang, just as a sacrifice for this operation on the east and west fronts."

There are 50,000 people in Yanshan, Bai Shang took away 50,000 people, and Feihu Pass still left 10,000 people to guard. Now there are 100,000 soldiers and horses in Yan Pass.

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei licked his lips, his smile full of cruelty.

The Yuan family has repeatedly targeted them, assassinated the King of Yan twice, and planned to seize Yan Pass twice.

In his heart, he has long hated Yuan Li.

It will take a few days for Bai Shang to go north and harass Ningjindusi again.

Taking advantage of this time, the Yuan family can be dealt with.

Last time, when they were not equipped with flintlock rifles, they beat the Yuan family to pieces.

This time will be easier.

Moreover, because of the hatred of the Yuan family, the palace did not sell artillery to the Yuan family.

Therefore, the current strength of the Yuan family has not improved at all.

After deciding this matter, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei watched Bai Shang and the soldiers of the palace board the warship anchored outside the beach in a small boat.

When the warship went north, he and Chang Wei set off for Yan Pass.

Beidi had given him something to work with, so he wanted to do something to work with Beidi this time.

He wanted to see who was better.

The next day.

Zhao Xu and Chang Wei arrived at Yanguan, and Chang Wei immediately began to mobilize troops.

They didn't bring any food or grass this time, only fried noodles.

For him, it wouldn't take long to deal with the Yuan family.

At the same time, he wanted to do the same as Jinzhou, marching at night this time, and suddenly appear under the city of Fanyang.

In the evening, Chang Wei ordered the army to set off and disappeared in the afterglow of the dusk.
