Chapter 1151: Risky Strategy (I)
"what?"
The sudden change in the situation left Sui Zuo dumbfounded, and the look he showed towards Jin Fu Yu became extremely complicated, with shame, shock, astonishment, and even a deep fear that could not be expressed in words.
Although Sui Zuo knew that Jin Fuyu was a descendant of the Jin Dynasty and had been determined to restore the country for decades, he thought that Jin Fuyu's sphere of influence was limited to the martial arts world and that he was trying to achieve his goal step by step by dominating the martial arts world. He never expected that Jin Fuyu was hiding so deeply and dared to recruit soldiers and train soldiers under the nose of the Song Dynasty court.
At this moment, Sui Zuo suddenly realized that Jin Jianwu was just a shield for Jin Fuyu, and the Central Plains Wulin was just a stepping stone for him. His true strength was all hidden under the surface, and his ultimate strategy to restore the Jin Kingdom was to rebel and capture the city.
When Sui Zuo thought of this, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling and his back going cold.
"No wonder you are so fearless in turning against me. It turns out that you already knew my plan and had secretly arranged everything, just waiting for me... to fall into the trap." No matter how stupid Ren Suizuo was, he could see through everything at this moment.
Especially when he saw that his two lieutenants had been beheaded, he felt completely hopeless and had lost all his fighting spirit.
Although Sui Zuo's martial arts skills are not weak, it depends on who the opponent is. In front of ordinary people, Sui Zuo is a master who should not be underestimated. However, in front of Jin Fuyu, who looks down on the heroes, Sui Zuo's skills are far from enough to challenge.
I still remember that during the martial arts conference, Wu Shuang sneaked into the heavily guarded Xilu camp single-handedly. Not only did he knock Sui Zuo unconscious by himself, he even stripped him of his clothes, performing a wonderful show of "stealing the sky and replacing the day" in the midst of thousands of troops.
In terms of martial arts and methods, today's Jin Fu Yu is even better than Wu Shuang in the past. As Sui Zuo was defeated by Wu Shuang, how could he compete with Jin Fu Yu?
In this section, Sui Zuo still had self-awareness, so when the situation was hopeless, he would rather die bravely than fight like a trapped beast, so as not to die in a miserable way and lose the dignity of a Mongolian general.
"If you had no intention of harming me, how could there be such a disaster today?"
While talking, Jin Fuyu threw the teacup in his hand away, and half a cup of tea, two shrunken tea leaves and the rushing rainwater scattered everywhere. This scene seemed to be a satire on Sui Zuo's careful planning and hard work, which was just like the tea in the cup, floating but not solid, and would eventually go to waste.
"Early before the anti-traitor meeting, you had secretly mobilized 5,000 soldiers to enter Luoyang City. I think... your original goal should not be as simple as dealing with us. Ding Ao sneered, "It's just that due to some reasons, you and your elite troops were not able to be used in Luoyang City, so you turned your attention to us and followed us all the way from Luoyang City to here."
"You thought you were acting in secret and hiding your five thousand soldiers perfectly, but you didn't know that your every move was already under our control." Dong Xiao'er pretended to be sympathetic and said with regret, "As the saying goes, 'the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind'. The reason why the owner waited patiently for you to make the first move was to find out your real purpose. Of course, there is also Mongolia's next plan for the Song Dynasty."
"Further south is the territory of the Song Dynasty. The owner of the fortress is sure that you only have 5,000 soldiers and horses, and you will not dare to advance alone, so you will definitely attack before we leave the Mongolian border. And this wild and desolate mountain is undoubtedly the best choice." Song Yu continued, "It's not unfair that you fell into our hands today."
Sui Zuo, knowing that he could not save the situation, looked around silently, then laughed loudly and nodded repeatedly: "Good, good, good! Jin Fuyu is so cunning, I have expected that you will not be easy to deal with, but I did not expect... You actually hid tens of thousands of soldiers!"
"You really didn't expect it?" Jin Fu Yu frowned slightly, as if he was doubtful.
"Nonsense! If I knew you had tens of thousands of soldiers, why would I only lead 5,000 men to ambush you?"
Seeing that Sui Zuo was gritting his teeth in hatred, Jin Fuyu's expression became a little serious. He thought again and again, and then he asked tentatively: "Then do you know why the Mongolian court ordered you to kill me? And why did they change the military order midway to let you lure me into a fight with Liu Xunyi?"
"Now that things have come to this, do you still want to trick me?"
"Alas! It seems that you are just a puppet." Jin Fuyu shook his head and sighed, "They sent you to kill me because they have realized that my existence must be a huge threat to the Mongolian army's southward advance."
"Of course! The Khan and the prince have always been farsighted, how could they be wrong about you?"
"I have to admit that you were smart to think of getting rid of me before you invaded Song." Jin Fuyu stood up slowly, staring at Sui Zuo with a pair of bright eyes, carefully observing his every expression and movement. "As I expected, the temporary change of military orders was not entirely because Hu Lie was jealous of the relationship between Liu Xunyi and Zhao Xin. The real reason... should be that they have probably guessed that you may not be able to deal with me with your ability, so they let you use a gentle strategy to stabilize me first, and then kill two birds with one stone."
"Hmph!" Faced with Jin Fu Yu's speculation, Sui Zuo snorted coldly, turned his head and ignored him.
"However, there may be another possibility..."
At this point, Jin Fuyu's gaze towards Sui Zuo suddenly became very sharp, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his scrutiny. He pondered and said, "If you are not even a puppet, but just a bait... or in other words, they don't expect you to get rid of me, let alone lure me into the trap. Their real intention is... to use you to force me to reveal my true strength, then..."
Having said this, Jin Fuyu's voice suddenly stopped. At the same time, a rare gloomy look appeared between his brows.
"Master..."
"Wait!" Jin Fuyu didn't want to be interrupted, and muttered to himself, "If what I said is true, it means that in the Mongolian court... there is indeed a powerful figure who can see the overall situation and make plans. This person has set up this game, and he will be the winner no matter what the result is. Anyone who enters the game... will not be able to escape unscathed."
Gradually understanding the hidden meaning of Jin Fuyu's words, Sui Zuo suddenly felt an unprecedented chill. The panic just now was no longer visible on his paper-pale face, and what was left was only the loss of being abandoned and the pain of betrayal.
Sui Zuo turned his head with difficulty, looked at Jin Fuyu with a complicated expression, and hesitated, "Who...are they?"
"Maybe it was Mengge, maybe it was Hulie, maybe it was Wang Dechen..." Jin Fuyu's face became serious and he answered word by word, "Maybe you already have the answer in your heart."
“Jin Fuyu!” Sui Zuo, who was frightened by what he heard, suddenly shouted, breaking his messy thoughts, and angrily said: “Don’t try to use the alienation strategy to provoke my loyalty to the Khan and the prince! Since I have fallen into your hands, I have no intention of returning alive. Kill me or chop me up, just give me a quick death!”
After saying this, Sui Zuo made up his mind and put on a tenacious attitude, showing no fear of life or death and a sense of righteousness.
"A strategy of sowing discord?" Jin Fuyu laughed dumbly. "When have you ever seen someone use a strategy of sowing discord on a dying person? Since you are so determined to die, then I..."
"Master!"
Before Jin Fuyu finished speaking, Song Yu hurriedly came close to him and reminded him in a low voice with difficulty: "Sui Zuo's identity is extraordinary. Killing him may lead to revenge from the Mongolian court. I hope the owner will think twice!"
"how do I say this?"
"At the martial arts conference, all the heroes were besieged by Sui Zuo's army. At that time, people from Jueqing Valley, Longxiang Mountain, Qingcheng Sect, Emei Sect, Shuzhong Tang Sect, and Hexi Qin Sect all had the opportunity to kill Sui Zuo, but in the end, none of them did it. Why? It was nothing more than fear of his identity. Just imagine, a trouble that even Xiao Zhirou is unwilling to cause, should we... not wade into this muddy water?"
After hearing Song Yu's explanation, Jin Fu Yu did not make any statement, but instead cast an inquiring look at Leng Yiyi, Ding Ao, Dong Xiaoer, Shi Zhenshan and Wen Lian standing beside him.
"So what if we offend the Mongolian court?" Shi Zhenshan said contemptuously, "If they want to fight, then fight. Are we afraid of them?"
"That's right!" Wen Lian echoed, "We will have a battle with the Mongolian Tartars sooner or later!"
"Ahem!" Ding Ao coughed twice, as if to interrupt Shi Zhenshan and Wen Lian who were eager to fight, and thought, "I agree with what you two said. We will have a war with Mongolia sooner or later. But when? How to fight? What are the chances of winning? These issues must be considered carefully and weighed carefully. Therefore, compared with our current strength and Mongolia, I think... Song Yu's suggestion is more reliable. It doesn't matter whether Sui Zuo lives or dies in Jinjianwu. We shouldn't... let alone let him affect the overall situation."
"What you mean is that Sui Zuo led his troops to kill the owner of the dock, and not only can we not retaliate, but we have to worry about offending him?" Shi Zhenshan laughed angrily, and his words contained three parts of doubt, three parts of contempt, and three parts of criticism.
"Definitely not!" Ding Ao explained quickly, "What I mean is that we are in a time of great trouble right now, and we must not lose the big picture because of small things..."
"you……"
"What do you two think?"
Without waiting for Wen Lian to refute, Jin Fu Yu turned the conversation to Leng Yiyi and Dong Xiaoer.
"Back then, General Wang Xutong of Luoyang died a violent death. Even though Luo Tianjin denied it, he still brought a lot of trouble to Prince Xian's Mansion..." Since Leng Yiyi was unsure of Jin Fuyu's true thoughts, her voice sounded a little embarrassed.
In contrast, Dong Xiaoer's attitude was very clear, that is, she supported Ding Ao without hesitation: "Master, Sui Zuo's status in Mongolia is far better than Wang Xutong. If we kill him rashly, the trouble in the future will definitely be greater than that of the Xianwang Mansion back then."
"Ha ha……"
Seeing Song Yu and the others pleading for him one after another, Sui Zuo, who thought he was about to die, couldn't help but laugh out loud and said arrogantly: "After all, you are still afraid of the Khan's majesty and my Mongolian cavalry. In this case, just let me and my brothers go as soon as possible..."
"shut up!"
Sui Zuo's arrogance immediately attracted Leng Yiyi's angry rebuke, and she raised her sword again and pointed it at his forehead.
"Bitch, if you've got the guts just stab me to death with your sword!" Sui Zuo became bolder and more provocative in his words, knowing that Leng Yiyi wouldn't dare to kill him.
"Do you really think we dare not kill you..."
"That's it!"
Jin Fuyu interrupted Leng Yiyi who was about to retort, and at the same time slowly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to take her Bingxin Sword, and said lightly: "He is right, you are worried and you really don't dare to kill him."
Seeing Jin Fuyu personally stopping Leng Yiyi, Sui Zuo was secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface he still pretended to be indignant: "Jin Fuyu, it's up to you to decide whether to kill me or let me go. If I blink, I'll be your son!"
However, Jin Fu Yu did not rush to make a choice, but stood straight in front of Sui Zuo, looking at him quietly.
Sui Zuo seemed to be worried that the situation would be reversed again, and seemed to be uncomfortable with being stared at by Jin Fuyu. After careful consideration, he directly resorted to provocation and urged Jin Fuyu in a stern voice: "You and I are both desperate men who are on the edge of a knife. If you don't let me go, then don't let me go! It's just killing someone, why are you hesitating?"
After a long silence, Jin Fuyu finally stopped hesitating and said quietly, "Go back and tell Mengge and Hulie a message for me."
