Chapter 265: Warm Wine Breaks the City
Deng Chanyu looked at Yang Jian, a smile appeared on her lips, and she said, "Master Wen, Yang Jian, the Marquis of Shu, has great magical powers. If he were to take action, he would surely be able to break through Jibei City in one fell swoop and save our army from danger!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the tent turned their eyes to Yang Jian.
Yang Jian frowned slightly, secretly sighing that Deng Chanyu really held a grudge.
However, in his opinion, the concerns of these people were really unreasonable.
Because he passed by Jibei City on his way here.
He fulfilled his promise to Li Jing and used all his strength to cast the spell of heaven and earth, breaking the city wall with one stroke before the defenders in the city could react.
The commander guarding the city gate was killed with two sword strikes. The defenders of Jibei City had never experienced such a battle before and were immediately defeated.
Even if he gathered most of the soldiers now, the city wall had collapsed and could not be rebuilt in a short time.
Jibei City no longer has a city wall to rely on, so Wen Zhong can easily pacify it by sending troops.
It seems that the news from Jibei City has not been reported back yet, so these soldiers of Shang Dynasty are so worried.
Yang Jian did not show any emotion on his face, but just smiled faintly and said, "General Deng thinks highly of me."
Wen Zhong thought for a moment and thought that if Yang Jian was willing to help, it would indeed help the Shang army out of their predicament. He said, "Brother, what do you think?"
He has confidence in Yang Jian's strength.
But he knew that Yang Jian had the Immortal Mark bestowed by the Patriarch Tongtian. At worst, he could call on the Patriarch to attack and completely wipe out the rebels in Jibei City.
"Since you have spoken, I am willing to lend a helping hand."
Wen Zhong nodded: "Junior brother, how many people you need, my disciples of Jiejiao and the army stationed in front of the tent can be deployed at will."
"One junior brother is enough."
Yang Jian said, shaking his head slowly.
The other soldiers looked at Yang Jian with strange eyes.
Just now, Yang Jian looked at Deng Chanyu with his eyes almost touching her.
They immediately thought that Yang Jian was being so arrogant just to win the favor of the beauty.
Even though they were dissatisfied with Yang Jian in their hearts, they did not express anything. Instead, there was a hint of contempt in their eye contact with the soldiers around them.
Deng Chanyu was overjoyed when she heard Yang Jian being so arrogant: "Shu Hou is indeed amazing. Chanyu admires him! I think Shu Hou's cultivation is the best under the immortals."
She also thought that Yang Jian was too lustful and had messed up his brain, so she decided to hold Yang Jian high to prevent him from regretting his decision. The look in her eyes when she looked at Yang Jian became tender and affectionate.
There was a hint of gloating in this, but no one noticed.
Yang Jian crossed his arms, looked at Deng Chanyu and said, "Since General Deng trusts me so much, I will give it a try. However, if I conquer Jibei City, what will General Deng do?"
Deng Chanyu gritted her teeth and said, "If you can break the city, I, Deng Chanyu, am willing to serve the Marquis of Shu!"
As soon as these words were spoken, many soldiers in the field were shocked.
Deng Chanyu was so bold as to do this. You have to know that this happened in front of Master Wen, and there was absolutely no chance for her to go back on her word.
Wen Zhong was also surprised at first, then he looked at Deng Chanyu meaningfully without saying anything more.
"What a beautiful thought!"
Yang Jian sneered.
What is his identity? He is the third generation disciple of Jiejiao, and his master is the Golden Spirit Mother, one of the most powerful people in the prehistoric times.
This does not include his close ties with Heaven and Nuwa.
But Deng Chanyu didn't know these things. She probably only knew about his relationship with Jiejiao.
This identity alone is enough for Deng Chanyu to benefit endlessly.
Even being a slave is enough. Haven't you heard that when one person succeeds, all the people around him will benefit.
Deng Chanyu's face instantly turned pale. She originally thought that Yang Jian's behavior just now was because he was infatuated with her beauty.
She was about to say something.
But Yang Jian changed the subject: "I accept your terms."
With such a reversal, Deng Chanyu never thought that Yang Jian would actually agree.
Asking her to give herself to this former enemy was even more painful than killing her, but words spoken and spilled could not be taken back.
She could only think of ways to make up for it: "Jibei City cuts off the food supply. Every day of delay will reduce the morale of our army. Therefore, we must break the city as soon as possible, preferably within two days. I wonder if the Marquis of Shu can do it."
Two days~
Even if he led his troops to rush over overnight, it would be too late. If Yang Jian could really do it, she would accept it.
"Two days, you look down on Yang!"
Yang Jian raised his eyebrows, stood up and was about to leave for Jibei City.
Mo Liqing stopped him and said, "Uncle Master, Jibei City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are even immortals guarding it. We must not underestimate the enemy and should make long-term plans."
Yang Jian glanced at him and said, "Don't encourage others and destroy your own prestige! In my eyes, Jibei City is nothing but a piece of dirt. It will collapse with one strike. Wait for me to break the city and come back!"
After saying that, Yang Jian opened the tent. Outside the tent, there was a heavy snowstorm and he had just taken half a step out.
"Wait a minute."
Deng Chanyu called Yang Jian.
"Anything else?"
Yang Jian looked impatient: "I can easily conquer Jibei City, don't complain anymore."
Deng Chanyu originally wanted to persuade Yang Jian to take a long-term view, as she was worried that Yang Jian would really rush to his death.
But Yang Jian's confidence in front of her made her feel that he was not faking it.
She was in a conflicted mood and regretted having provoked Yang Jian to break into Jibei City.
She looked back at Wen Zhong, hoping that Master Wen could give her some hints.
She was disappointed, but Wen Zhong didn't say anything.
Could it be that Master Wen believes that Yang Jian will definitely be able to capture Jibei City?
Deng Chanyu thought so and poured a bowl of warm wine to Yang Jian. "I admire the heroic spirit of the Lord of Shu. Be careful when you go to break the city. It's cold outside. A cup of warm wine will warm you up."
Yang Jian looked at Deng Chanyu in surprise. Her words now lost their previous sharpness and instead seemed rather tender and affectionate.
I can only say that women are worthy of being women. They change their minds faster than turning the pages of a book. They were holding a grudge before, but now they are concerned about his safety.
Yang Jian was about to take it when he suddenly felt something was wrong.
His emotions were already at this point, and he had finally had the chance to show off, so he had to do it to the fullest.
After much thought, he decided to emulate Guan Erye. Guan Erye killed Hua Xiong with warm wine, and today he, Yang Jian, broke into the North City with warm wine.
"Pour the wine, and I'll drink it when I come back after I conquer the city."
Say it.
Yang Jian turned and walked out of the tent, disappearing in the wind and snow.
Deng Chanyu was lost in thought. She was worried that Yang Jian would break into the city too quickly, and also worried that Yang Jian would not be able to break into the city at all.
"Report~urgent military information~"
Not long after Yang Jian left, urgent news arrived.
A soldier, covered in snow and wind, entered the tent.
"Speak~"
Wen Zhongdao.
"Reporting to Grand Master, the spies in Jibei City have sent news that the city wall of Jibei City was destroyed by a huge figure an hour ago."
As the soldier spoke, he handed over a scroll and presented the battle situation drawn by the scouts in front.
When Wen Zhong saw it, his pupils suddenly shrank and he took a breath of cold air.
He recognized the huge figure and face as Yang Jian.
This kind of supernatural power can only be the law of heaven and earth.
He just felt that Yang Jian was a little unfamiliar to him. The magical power of controlling the heaven and earth was the top magical power in the prehistoric times. Even the Golden Spirit Mother did not master it. Where did Yang Jian learn it from?
And half an hour ago.
It should be a casual attack by Yang Jian when he came here.
Wen Zhong informed the soldiers around him of the news.
Deng Chanyu's eyes suddenly widened, her face full of disbelief.
