Turbulent Times Chapter 1617: Zhu Can suffers from schizophrenia

However, it is no wonder that Zhu Can is angry today. He is fighting with Li Shimin here, and he is already at an absolute disadvantage. He has even lost half of Hanzhong County. Unexpectedly, Xu Shiji led the Wagang Camp of the Far Eastern Army in the south to pass through Bashan Mountain and easily conquered the devil. Not to mention, Guan took away Maozhu County and Champion County within two or three days. The most important thing was the news from the south that the other four counties in Champion County had expressed their rebellion against Zhu Can and surrendered to the Far East Army.

Now that the entire Champion County has basically escaped Zhu Can's control, this made Zhu Can furious and frightened, but it also made Changsun Wuji secretly startled.

Moreover, the Far Eastern Army suddenly broke out from the rear and took away Champion County by means of thunder. The impact is simply too great.

Although Zhu Can is not aware of the ideological struggles that the Far Eastern Army has been engaged in in the hidden field these years, he keenly discovered that not only the champion county was lost, but the people in Hanzhong County have also turned to the Far Eastern Army. The army was suppressing, and some mobs had already killed their Zhu family army as they did in two counties of Champion County, and directly welcomed the Far East Army into the city.

And this was not the thing that chilled Zhu Can the most. What made him a little scared was that the hearts of his men and horses in Hanzhong County were so shaken that deserters had already appeared in the army, and it was getting worse.

Things are developing in such a strange way, although Zhu Can still doesn't quite understand how the Far Eastern Army did it, but he has already understood the Far Eastern Army's strategy: first destroy the morale of his army from the heart of the army , in order to achieve the purpose of defeating others without fighting.

It has to be said that Xu Shiji and Shen Guang stabbed Zhu Can's weakest part at once.

Fortunately, because the senior generals of the Zhu family army have also eaten human flesh and killed innocent big devils indiscriminately, they know that after surrendering to the Far East Army, the result is similar to that of Zhu Can. In addition, Zhu Can usually rewards the senior generals under his command It is very heavy, so the senior generals of Zhu's army have a twisted loyalty to Zhu Can.

Otherwise, Zhu Can's army would collapse immediately, and Xu Shiji and Shen Guang would take advantage of Li Shimin, because from the geographical point of view, they led troops from Champion County, and they couldn't grab Li Shimin's troops if they wanted to grab the territory.

However, from the perspective of Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji, it would be a good thing every day if the morale of Zhu Can's army collapsed before the arrival of the Far East Army, but right now Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji are absolutely unwilling to see Zhu Jiajun himself It collapsed, even if they grab territory, it will be more beneficial than the Far East Army.

After the Seven Commanderies of Hedong were taken away by the Far Eastern Army, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji realized that if the army could not defeat the Far Eastern Army, or if the Far Eastern Army could not be wiped out or severely injured, no matter how much territory they occupied, it would be useless. Sooner or later, it will be snatched by the other party.

Therefore, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji are more willing to severely damage the Wagang camp led by Xu Shiji than to seize the territory, and Li Shimin also knows that as long as they can severely damage the Wagang camp, given the current situation of the Far Eastern Army, it will be very difficult in a short time. It is difficult to send more troops to attack Sichuan and Shu.

With these time buffers and preparations, such as strengthening the city, like the Shishazhai in the east of the river, building a large number of military forts and military forts, and then facing the strong attack of the Far East Army, it will be completely different, at least the Far East Every time the army attacks a fort or a village, it has to pay a greater price.

For this reason and starting point, Changsun Wuji took the risk of being eaten by Zhu Can and acted as an envoy to see Zhu Can.

Thinking about what to do and what to say after seeing Zhu Can, Changsun Wuji came to the gate of the main hall where Zhu Can was.

Then, Changsun Wuji saw more than a dozen big white buttocks.

More than a dozen women were stripped naked and crawled on the ground in front of the hall, all with their buttocks pouted, and Zhu Can, who had red eyes, was whipping him with a whip.

Even with Changsun Wuji's knowledge and standards, I feel that these dozen or so women are very good-looking, they can be regarded as beauties, and the oldest is 20 years old, and the youngest is only twelve or thirteen years old, but these beauties are delicate and delicate. Body

The body was covered with shocking welt marks, almost completely bruised, and some of them could not even crawl, they were beaten to death, and the screaming sound was gone.

The whip in Zhu Can's hand had turned blood red, apparently soaked in blood, and was even dripping blood.

"Ma Changshi, who are these women?" Changsun Wuji asked.

The person who brought Changsun Wuji into the palace was the long history appointed by Zhu Can. As for what kind of long history and what kind of work he did, Changsun Wuji didn't bother to know. The royal palace that came out was nondescript and messy, so the eldest grandson Wuji, who was born in a powerful and official family, naturally looked down on him.

At this time, Ma Changshi stared at the dozen or so naked beauties with bright eyes, and even swallowed his saliva, but there was no pity in his eyes, and there was only pity for wasting good things.

Hearing Changsun Wuji's question, Ma Changshi didn't turn his head or look back, but replied greedily: "These are the concubines of our great king."

"Concubine?" Changsun Wuji was a little surprised. He thought it was a maid just now, and asked casually, "How did your king's concubine be chosen?"

Na Ma Changshi said enviously: "Our Majesty gathered together all the ten- to twenty-year-old girls in Champion County and Hanzhong County who were tall and tall, and picked them out one by one. At that time, the Majesty After selecting 500 people, the king himself kept the most beautiful 100 women as princesses, and distributed the other 400 women to the brothers below. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough official positions at the time, so I only got two. In the end, one died of illness last year. .”

As they were talking, the two of them were less than a hundred steps away from where Zhu Can and his party were, and they were also stopped by Zhu Can's personal guards. The messenger is here."

The bodyguard pretended to look fiercely at Changsun Wuji, but there was no change on Changsun Wuji's face. The bodyguard felt bored, so he went in to report.

Using this time, Changsun Wuji observed Zhu Can secretly. This was the first time he had seen this notorious ogre king.

To be honest, the other party has a good skin, tall and slender, burly but not bloated, fair skin, angular face, slightly delicate, he is a rare handsome guy.

If he hadn't known in advance that the other party was the Ogre King, and the other party's eyes were red at this time, with a faint look of madness, Changsun Wuji would have found it hard to believe that this was Zhu Can if he saw the other party on other occasions.

The personal guards obviously also knew that their king was in a state of madness and half-madness at this time, and worried about harming Chi Yu, they knelt down and reported to Zhu Can from a distance: "Your Majesty, Chief Ma is bringing Li Shimin's envoy to see you."

Zhu Can turned his head to look at Changsun Wuji and Ma Changshi, his eyes were still blood red, with a hint of cruelty and distortion.

Changsun Wuji's face remained the same, but his heart was secretly awe-inspiring. Facing this lunatic, although he was fully prepared before coming, he had prepared several sets of psychological offensive and persuasion plans, but who knows if the other party will go Ape.

"Let Li Shimin's envoy come in alone, and then you all leave." Zhu Can casually sat next to a dying girl crawling in a pool of blood, who looked thirteen or fourteen years old. He ordered casually.

"Humble post, obey orders." If the personal guard was amnesty, he agreed and ran out.

Soon, all the soldiers and servants in the hall withdrew, and Ma Changshi also quickly slipped away, not knowing where he went.

When Changsun Wuji witnessed this scene, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, which showed that Zhu Can wanted to have a good talk with him.

Thinking like this, Changsun Wuji walked into the hall.

"I know what Li Shimin sent you here to say." Contrary to Changsun Wuji's expectations, Zhu Can, who had acted like a pervert just now, was no longer crazy, as if he was a different person. And it makes people feel calm to the extreme, and rational to the extreme.

Changsun Wuji suddenly had a baby

Zhong Mingwu: A person who has eaten a lot of human flesh and even used human flesh as military food can live until now. In the county, such a person is already rational to the extreme, he has no human emotions at all, and his mind is definitely not bad.

Changsun Wuji did not disturb his steps because of Zhu Can's shocking words, he bowed deeply to Zhu Can, and then said: "Your Majesty is indeed wise."

"Tell me! What is Li Shimin's plan? Then Xu Shiji himself is a master who is very good at fighting, and now he has joined the Far Eastern Army. Only 60,000 horses came this time, so it's not easy to deal with." Zhu Can wore a comfortable fine linen robe, on which there was a thing that looked like a python or a dragon, and Zhu Can didn't know where to bring it. He was holding a golden wine bottle, probably tired from whipping the beautiful woman just now, as he drank it one mouthful at a time, the corners of his mouth and lips were blood red.

Changsun Wuji noticed that the girl under Zhu Can's buttocks was motionless, and he didn't know whether she had passed out or was dead.

Then he found that the golden wine bottle in Zhu Can's hand was filled with blood-red liquid, and he couldn't help being shocked. If it was someone else, Changsun Wuji would only think it was wine from the Western Regions, but this golden wine bottle In Zhu Can's hands, people would suspect that the latter drank blood, not wine.

Changsun Wuji's eyes were not idle, nor was his mind idle, but his mouth did not pause for the slightest bit, and said: "The king is right, but Xu Shiji is really difficult to deal with. The 60,000 Wagang camp he brought It is also a strong army, but they only have 60,000 people, the combined strength of our young master and the king is nearly three times that of Xu Shiji, and we will take advantage of it by chance, and will not confront head-on."

Zhu Can didn't seem to be surprised by Changsun Wuji's words, and continued: "How to get it by chance?"

Changsun Wuji took a breath, and said: "Your Majesty led the army to fight Xu Shiji first, and then he was defeated and fled. The Far East Army will definitely chase after him. When Your Majesty's troops lead the Far East Army to the predetermined point, our troops Break out suddenly and launch a sneak attack on the exhausted Far East Army, and the king's people will turn around and kill the Far East Army when the time comes."

"It's that simple?" Zhu Can frowned slightly, drank the blood-colored liquid from the golden wine bottle in one gulp, threw the golden wine bottle aside, and smashed it on the head of a naked young woman, causing another tragedy. Call.

"The simpler the tactics, the easier it is to succeed, and the less likely they will be suspected by people like Xu Shiji." Changsun Wuji said calmly.

Zhu Can remained silent for a long time, frowning in thought.

I don't know how long it took, he nodded slightly and said: "Li Shimin is also a man who can fight."

Changsun Wuji hastily bowed his hands to Zhu Can and said, "I thank the King for your praise on behalf of our young master."

Zhu Can stared at Changsun Wuji with blood-red eyes, and asked again: "What about after beating the Far Eastern Army?"

Changsun Wuji immediately said: "Your Majesty will be the Duke of Tang under the command of King Tang, and he will be in charge of the army under his command."

Zhu Can said: "Li Shimin is only the second son, can he be the master of Tang Wang Li Yuan?"

Changsun Wuji said: "Originally it wasn't enough, but now the son was captured alive by Wang Junlin, and easily lost Taiyuan, and even the whole of Hedong, and his prestige dropped greatly. Even if he returned to Chang'an after a while, he would no longer have the face to exist as a prince. And the second son of my family is wise and martial, and will definitely become the crown prince of Tang, so now our second son can represent His Royal Highness Tang."

Zhu Can took a deep look at Changsun Wuji, nodded and said: "Okay, I believe you and Li Shimin, you go back and tell Li Shimin that I will go to fight the Far East Army and lead Xu Shiji's people to the place , but if you can’t swallow Xu Shiji’s Wagang camp, the subsequent agreement will not be certain.”

"That's true." Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said, "I will take my leave."
