Chapter 724: Captured Soldiers
But Zhang is also a freak. He fights endlessly all day long. When he has enough fighting with people, he fights with ghosts. He is very experienced in fighting. Of course, he will not be stopped by the two monks. He only ducks twice and enters. After retreating, he stood back to where he was. However, the two high-level Nascent Soul sword cultivators stopped their forward attack and stopped midway. One of them lowered his head to look at the magic sword in his hand, and the other looked at Zhang Afraid with his eyes open. He couldn't believe what was happening.
The high-level monks had a body like electricity and were almost invisible when exerting their full strength. Peng Zhan and Peng Yang believed that they were fast enough and not weaker than the top-level monks, so they dared to compete with Zhang Wen. But Zhang was afraid of being faster, so he only advanced and retreated, and had already cut off the two magic swords.
After seeing such a method, it would be foolish to rush forward. Peng Zhan and Peng Yang looked ashen. They were usually too arrogant and dared to underestimate the heroes of the world.
At this time, the two broken sword tips fell to the ground, making two crisp sounds. No matter how powerful the magic weapon is, it is just a piece of scrap metal after being damaged. However, these two pieces of scrap metal fell to the ground, shocking the more than 300 sword cultivators behind them. They couldn't believe it that the two masters they thought were superior had their magic swords broken in one move. This person should have How powerful?
After a long pause, Peng Zhan said in a seductive voice: "400,000 Vietnamese troops have been driven to the front to defend against the enemy, or there may be casualties." The implication is that there may not be 400,000 left, and they cannot meet your requirements.
Zhang Ping said: "It doesn't matter, send back as many people as you want."
Peng Zhan had no choice but to say hello, and called his men to give a few instructions, and more than three hundred sword cultivators flew to the west.
They received news that the Yue soldiers had high-level cultivators entering the country, and their strength was terrifying. Two of Bai Wu's top cultivators were born to fight against the enemy, but they were defeated by Yue's masters with one sword. Knowing that the other party was merciful and let them go, the two of them dared not listen to his orders.
It's not that the two masters cherish their lives, they really don't dare to die lightly. It's easy for them to die. Who should the hundreds of millions of Bai Wu people be entrusted to? The last time I was careless, I was bullied by Lie Wu, Jin Wu, and lost seventy cities in a row. Now that they are dead, not only will I not be able to get back seventy cities, but I will also lose more cities.
From this point of view alone, the two of them are similar to Jin Da and Zhang Wen. They both have responsibilities and have to protect many people.
Zhang feared that it was also because of this consideration that he did not kill Peng Zhan and Peng Yang. It cannot be said that the people of Yue are human beings and the people of Bai Wu are not human beings. Killing them is easy, but what about the millions of people in Wu? Who will clean up this mess? Furthermore, his purpose was to rescue the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom and not allow them to die in a foreign land, rather than to show off their bravery and kill everyone in Bai Wu, so he had no intention of killing at all. Seeing that the other party had already given in, Zhang Ain nodded and asked, "How long will it take?"
Peng Zhan said: "The Lie Wu soldiers invaded Bai Wu. It's not that far away. They can return in four days."
It wasn't that far away. Zhang Weijing crossed the Baiwu border like a madman and walked a few steps further to the place where Liewu and Baiwu met. In four days, including the time to recall the remaining soldiers from all over the battle line, the distance was really Not too far.
Zhang Ping said: "I will wait here for four days."
Peng Zhan and Peng Yang looked at Zhang Afraid and sighed secretly. If such talents were in Bai Wu, Wu Jin Wu, etc., they would be able to fight back to their hometown immediately. The two of them raised their hands to Zhang Wen and turned around to leave. This handing over was a favor to thank Zhang for not killing him. You can't just pretend that you don't know if they don't tell you.
In just a moment, all the sword cultivators from the White Lotus Sword Sect were gone. Zhang Tianfang was dissatisfied and said, "What's going on? No more fighting? Then why am I here?"
Zhang Wen ignored him, removed the barrier on the carriage, opened the door, and a group of children immediately jumped out and shouted: "The door is broken, we shouted for a long time before you heard it, you are really a deaf brother."
Zhang Ai laughed and said, "Come down and play." Then he said to Zhang Tianfang, "Go back and take care of the horses. Don't let anyone rob or kill them." "Who dares?" Zhang Tianfang glared.
"We're not going to fight anyway. Wouldn't it be better for you to go back and ride a horse than to stay here with me in a daze?" Zhang Ain advised.
Zhang Tianfang heard this, thought about what was going on, and said, "Remember, you owe me once." After saying this, he left and went back to Yue Kingdom to take care of the horses.
The place they set foot on was an official road outside the city, with crop fields on both sides, and there was nothing to play with. Zhang Ao led the children for more than ten miles and came to a small hillside with a small forest on it. The child asked him: "Where are we? Where are the horses?"
Zhang Ping smiled and said: "We are abroad. I will take you abroad. I will go back in a few days."
As soon as the children heard about his country, they looked around and then said in disappointment: "What country is there? It's not the same world. Even the crops are the same. There is no difference."
Zhang Ying smiled and said: "We are still the same people. Are you hungry? Eat?"
He settled the children here, ate, drank, slept and played. Three days later, Vietnamese soldiers arrived one after another. It started with a few sword cultivators who came respectfully to see Zhang Ai upon receiving orders, saying they wanted to help lead the captured soldiers back north.
Zhang Zheng was so happy that he didn't interfere and left them to their own devices. Because the Vietnamese troops were returning to the north, passing through villages and cities all the way, which might cause turmoil, many cities along the way were forcibly taken over by the army to ensure that the captured soldiers could transit safely.
On the evening of the fourth day, all the Vietnamese prisoners finally arrived. Due to the continuous war between Sanwu and Wu, many people were sent to be scapegoats. In less than a month, 150,000 Vietnamese soldiers had died.
Peng Zhan and Peng Yang were probably afraid that this number would anger Zhang Awei, so they came back to see Zhang Awei on the fourth day, thinking that if something happened, they would not spare their lives.
I didn't expect what I saw to be so unexpected. Zhang Pa was playing with more than 60 children in the forest, and all the affairs of the Yue soldiers were handled by his sword cultivators. Peng Zhan sighed in his heart, this is strength, when fighting with the two of us, he can still play with a bunch of ordinary children, a feeling of being despised to the extreme arises spontaneously.
Peng Yang also felt the same way. While being stimulated, he turned his attention to the eight shadow tigers, super-class monsters, I really don't know what means that person used to get them.
The sword cultivators under his command have been counting the number of Yue soldiers. They got the exact number when the moon was on the willow branches and rushed to tell Zhang Pa. At this time, Peng Zhan and Peng Yang stood beside Zhang Pa, fearing that he would get angry. Unexpectedly, when Zhang Pa heard the number of 250,000, his face did not fluctuate at all. He just nodded and said: "Set up camp tonight and set off tomorrow."
Escorting 250,000 people on the road, Bai Wu's troops were very tight. They dared not give them weapons and had to tie them up with ropes. Even so, there were more than 30,000 Bai Wu soldiers tired here. Thinking that it would take another 20 to 30 days to reach the border, Peng Zhan and Peng Yang looked really ugly. They hoped that the soldiers on the front line could temporarily withstand the attack of Lie Wu and Jin Wu.
Zhang Pa glanced at the two of them and said casually: "You go, take the soldiers and do what you should do, and leave a few people to help me greet the passing government."
Peng Zhan subconsciously refused. What a joke, 250,000 people, if there is no one to guard them, what if there is a civil strife? How can Bai Wu have so many troops to suppress the bandits?
Zhang Pa saw that the two of them didn't say anything, knowing that they had their own ideas, so he didn't say anything to them. You can toss around as you like, and tell the children to go to rest.
Peng Zhan and Peng Yang were depressed. They originally wanted to transfer the pressure of Bai Wu to Yue State, but they didn't expect that Zhang Pa would appear. If they had known this, why did they bother to send the Yue soldiers to the western front?
They were uneasy, and the 250,000 Yue soldiers gathered together were also uneasy. They had a hellish life a few days ago. Every day when they opened their eyes, they fought. They could only eat if they survived the fight. Although the food was excellent, how many meals could I eat? I often changed places during the fight, just like now, with my hands and feet tied and being driven like pigs.
I was used to being driven again at this time, and I didn't have any other thoughts, but I felt that my life was hopeless.
Zhang Pa wanted to shout a few times to calm the Yue soldiers, but then he thought, I just couldn't bear to see more than 400,000 people die in a foreign land. If there were only 400 people, they would never go through this, so there was no need to shout and make trouble.
The next day at dawn, the Yue soldiers went east, and Zhang Pa asked the children to get into the carriage, find an old horse, and pull the carriage together. As he was walking, his mind moved, and he hurriedly took out something from the storage bag to look at it.
A palm-sized black disk, with a star map on the back, and a little light shining gently in the southeast of the black disk on the front. I thought to myself, can't this unfortunate bone forest rest for a few days? The passage is open again!
The biggest function of the star-fixing plate in his hand is to determine the direction of the passage in the bone forest. Looking at the bright spots on the plate, Zhang Pa breathed a sigh of relief. The group of fish-headed monsters is a big trouble. Can they be dealt with like the Jin family?
He called Peng Zhan and Peng Yang. Now the two brothers are very honest. I just pray that the man in front of me will not cause trouble in Wu. It is already too much to face the enemy on three sides. If there is another flower in the center, isn’t it going to destroy the country? Hearing from the disciples that Zhang Pa is looking for them, he guessed in his heart, not knowing what happened.
Zhang Pa saw the two people coming to the carriage, stopped the carriage and said: "I have something to leave first. You can find someone to inform the commander of Yue State, saying that you want to return 250,000 prisoners of war, and only ask for 25 years of peace and sign an armistice agreement. In this way, you can go all out to entangle with Lie Wu and Jin Wu, and even ask the Yue army for some armaments. As long as it is not too much, I can pretend not to see it."
When the two heard this, there was still such a good thing. Peng Zhan had been thinking that if the 250,000 troops were released and the millions of troops outside the pass were added, wouldn’t the Yue army fight more fiercely? Letting go of the Vietnamese army was simply asking for trouble. Every day he thought about how to deal with the Vietnamese army's overwhelming force. It's not that he hadn't thought of this method, but because of Zhang Pa's strength, he had to give up the idea.
Now he heard Zhang Pa's words and asked back: "Are you serious?"
"What do you mean by serious? I don't understand why you like fighting so much? Let's go." Letting go of the old horse, Zhang Pa pulled the carriage and floated away like a puff of smoke, disappearing from his sight.
This time he didn't rush in and bump into it, but took a detour in the mountains and wilderness where no one was. Now that the matter was resolved, he didn't want to cause trouble for Wu Min again. Even so, his speed was flying. It took others ten days and half a month to walk, but he finished the journey in less than two hours. Before noon, he had already appeared in front of the border and shouted: "If you don't want to die, make way. Grandpa is back again." He pulled the carriage and rushed to the military camp.
