"Heheh!"
After some time, Duwu Sili suddenly chuckled, his voice tinged with a sinister and ruthless tone.
"Brat, you're too arrogant! Yes, the person you want is in my hands, but what makes you think that I'll hand him over to you? You've only brought five thousand soldiers with you, and yet you want someone from my hands? Aren't you being a little too simple? Aren't you afraid that I'll join forces with the Ouzan to kill you and your Wushang cavalry? "
With these last words, Duwusili's surging killing intent swelled to a whole new level. This almost tangible killing intent engulfed the air, and even the surrounding temperature dropped.
"Hahaha …"
Not only did Wang Chong show no fear at Duwusili's words, he even began to laugh.
"If it really was as you say, Dalun Ruozan, Huoshu Huizang, and Dusong Mangpoje would have come out long ago. They wouldn't have waited until now. If my guess is correct, your scheme for formation phenomena behind their backs has already caused a crack in your alliance. Otherwise, why would you have set up camp here alone with your army! "
"Buzz!"
These words made Duwusili feel like he had been stabbed by a needle, his entire body fiercely trembling. Although Wang Chong had only said these words casually, they had struck at the crux of the matter. For his own selfishness, Duwusili had hidden his true goal and gone alone to the battlefield to plot formation phenomena. This matter had been exposed, and Dalun Ruozan had seen through it. Although the Ouzan had not directly pointed it out, the relationship between the two sides was clearly very awkward.
The fact that the two sides had set up camp in different directions was enough to show the problem.
"This brat … what a vicious gaze."
Duwusili unconsciously clenched his fists, his joints cracking as his desire to kill Wang Chong intensified.
Wang Chong's gaze was far too sharp. In the current situation, he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.
"Kid, you're too conceited!"
Duwusili said fiercely. No matter what Wang Chong guessed, he would never admit it.
"No matter what happened between me and the people of Ouzan, don't forget that the Prime Minister of Ouzan is the one who wants to kill you the most. Hehe, what do you think he would do if he knew that you only brought five thousand men here? "
Behind Wang Chong, Li Siye, Kong Zi-an, Huang Botian, and the others all paled upon hearing this. Although the Wushang cavalry were peerless in the world and feared no one, if Duwusili, Huoshu Huizang, Dusong Mangpoje, and the wise minister Dalun Ruozan worked together, not even the Wushang cavalry would be able to stop them.
"Interesting. War is the path of deception. Great General, you are correct. There is a high chance that Dalun Ruozan will appear here. But how do you know that I only brought five thousand Wushang cavalry? "
Wang Chong faintly smiled, his expression naturally suffused with confidence.
Bzzz! Duwusili paled at these words, his gaze involuntarily looking past Wang Chong into the darkness behind him. He had always believed that Wang Chong had only brought five thousand men with him, but if Gao Xianzhi and Cheng Qianli had come as well, everything would be different.
He had to reconsider.
But when he saw the merciless ridicule in Wang Chong's eyes, Duwusili suddenly understood and flew into a rage.
"Bastard! Do you really think that I can't do anything to you! Don't you value that subordinate of yours? Do you believe that I won't kill him right now and leave you with nothing?! "
"You dare!"
Wang Chong's expression chilled, his eyes exploding with killing intent. Even before a top-class Imperial Great General like Duwusili, he made no attempt to hide his killing intent.
Behind Wang Chong, clangclangclang! Countless Wushang cavalry took out their weapons and aimed them at Duwusili.
"Haha, just a nameless soldier. I, Duwusili, have killed countless people. There is no one in this world that I don't dare to kill!"
Duwusili heartily laughed. At his level of cultivation and status, there was truly nothing he didn't dare to do. He might even be willing to part with the formation phenomena.
In any case, it was just a matter of capturing one more person.
"Bastard!"
Behind Wang Chong, Li Siye, Kong Zi-an, Cheng Sanyuan, Su Shixuan, and the others all angrily roared, their eyes red. Wang Chong's eyes were also surging with killing intent. He had never imagined that Duwusili would say such a thing, but Wang Chong quickly calmed down.
"Very good!"
Wang Chong looked at Duwusili and sneered.
"It seems like there's no need for further discussion. Since you've already made your decision, we'll do as you say! But in the future, you will never be able to obtain the formation phenomena again. In addition, I forgot to tell you that I seem to have left some soldiers in the City of Steel. Starting from now, for every 'Chen Bin' you kill, I'll have ten thousand shepherds of the Turkic steppe buried with him. If you kill two, I'll have twenty thousand Turkic shepherds buried with them! Li Siye, let's go! "
With these words, Wang Chong immediately ordered his army to retreat.
Across from him, Duwusili instantly paled. The Western Turkic Khaganate was connected to the Tang Dynasty's Qixi, and many shepherds lived on the steppe along the border, with many tribes herding cattle and sheep. Ishbara Khagan had once ordered the shepherds to retreat so that they wouldn't be caught up in the war with the Tang dynasty.
But because there were several extremely precious underground rivers and oases with lush water and grass, the Western Turkic Khaganate shepherds would often graze their cattle and herd their sheep there. No matter how much they tried to forbid it, it was useless.
Duwusili had never been a softhearted general, and he didn't care how many people Wang Chong killed. But these were still the shepherds of the Western Turks. Duwusili didn't care about Wang Chong's actions, but Ishbara Khagan couldn't. When the Fourth Prince was captured, he had strenuously opposed the exchange of two hundred thousand warhorses, but when Wang Chong led his soldiers into the steppe and began a massacre, Ishbara Khagan immediately agreed.
Not only that, a large part of the reason he had sent soldiers to Talas to join with Dalun Ruozan and the Ouzan in dealing with the Tang Dynasty was that Ishbara Khagan was furious at the Qixi Protectorate's actions of expelling and slaughtering the shepherds. If Wang Chong were to send soldiers to the northwest at this time, enter the Turkic steppe and start another massacre, and then claim that it was because of him, Ishbara Khagan would assuredly vent his anger on Wang Chong.
"Bastard! Too despicable! "
Duwusili's eyes burned with rage. It had to be said that Wang Chong had struck his weak point. In this clash, he had not gained the slightest advantage.
"Wait a moment!"
Duwusili immediately called out to Wang Chong. Killing Chen Bin was just an empty threat. How could he be so impulsive about something as important as formation phenomena? But right at this moment, a sudden change occurred —
"Dalun Ruozan, come out!"
Wang Chong had only taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped, looked around, and harshly called out.
All was quiet, and Duwusili's expression froze as he swallowed back the words he had been about to say. Behind him, Shamshak, Chekun Benba, and the tens of thousands of Western Turkic soldiers all had dumbfounded looks on their faces.
Dalun Ruozan?
When had he come? Why didn't they know!
Moreover, weren't Dalun Ruozan and Ouzan's armies stationed twenty li to the rear? How had he appeared here?
In the thick darkness, the earth and sky seemed to merge into one, leaving behind only a few protruding shadows. Just when everyone thought that Wang Chong had made a mistake, they all heard a familiar voice in their ears.
"Haha, Young Marquis, since you've come, why are you in such a rush to leave?"
Soft laughter came out of the darkness, not from behind Duwusili, but from behind the five thousand Wushang cavalry. As the laughter faded away, a graceful figure emerged from the crowd, walking out from a place several thousand zhang behind the Wushang cavalry. Behind him was a stalwart and domineering figure, his hand on his saber like a guardian deity.
In another direction, another figure exuding a storm of energy was walking over, accompanied by Tibetan generals. The two sides, one on the left and one on the right, cut off the path of retreat for Wang Chong and the five thousand Wushang cavalry. If Duwusili and the Western Turks were added to the mix, the three sides would form an encirclement around Wang Chong.
Dalun Ruozan! Huoshu Huizang! Dusong Mangpoje!
The sight of these three familiar figures left all the Western Turkic soldiers dumbfounded, and even Duwusili couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Great General, I heard that you had a guest, so I brought some people over to take a look. Great General won't mind, right?"
Dalun Ruozan faintly smiled as he walked forward, accompanied by Huoshu Huizang.
"Of course not when the Prime Minister is here."
Duwusili's face was stiff as he spoke.
When he had looked around earlier, he had not noticed any Great General level characters in the vicinity. Now that he thought about it, Dalun Ruozan, Huoshu Huizang, and Dusong Mangpoje must have taken advantage of his battle with Wang Chong to sneak over while his attention was focused on Wang Chong.
At a time like this, the person Duwusili least wanted to see was undoubtedly Dalun Ruozan.
"Haha, Great General's magnanimity is worthy of Dalun Ruozan's admiration."
Dalun Ruozan faintly smiled as he turned to Wang Chong.
"Dalun Ruozan, you really did come!"
Wang Chong's enormous Godking Yama did not wait for Dalun Ruozan to speak.
"Haha, I've been waiting for Marquis for quite some time."
