C158 Jia Tianwei Wanted to Get Through This Crisis and Capture the King First

"You are Jia Tianwei?" Qing Yun didn't say anything while they were talking. He was just thinking about who this person was and why he knew him. Suddenly, a person flashed into his mind. That person was the Master Jia Tianwei of the White Faced Pavilion.

"Yo! Pingyun Prince is so smart. You guessed right even when I disguised myself like this. " After saying that, the man slowly lifted his hand and removed the disguise on his face, revealing his original appearance. Qing Yun's guess was right. The man was the Master of the Hundred-face Pavilion, Jia Tianwei.

"Jia Tianwei, it was a mistake to let you escape back then. " General Qu gritted his teeth and said.

"Hahahaha, don't say it so nicely. A mistake? Just say that you don't have the ability to do so and you'll be done. If you want to catch me, you're still too young. " Jia Tianwei spoke arrogantly, as if he was invincible.

"Jia Tianwei, do you dare to fight me?" Qing Yun shook the halberd in his hand and glared at him.

"Actually, I am also very interested in fighting you. But now is not the time yet. I think that it is fake for you to fight with me right now. Is it true that you want to stall me and wait for your defeated soldiers to come to your aid? "

"What? Are you afraid?" Qing Yun saw through Jia Tianwei's thoughts, but he still refused to give up.

"Afraid? Hahaha, I, Jia Tianwei, have no idea what fear is since I was born. But this is a battlefield, not a world of martial arts. I don't need to fight you one-on-one right now. I think you should first think about how to overcome the crisis that you are about to face. " After saying that, Jia Tianwei leapt backwards. After a few leaps, he jumped into the distance. Jia Tianwei knew that he couldn't let his emotions get the better of him and compete with Qing Yun. According to his previous move, Qing Yun was no longer that nameless person.

Seeing that Jia Tianwei was about to escape, Qing Yun raised his halberd and wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by General Qu.

"Qing Yun, don't chase a cornered enemy. Even if you capture him now, it will be useless. What he said is right. What we need now is to find a way to overcome the crisis in front of us. "

"But let him escape just like that? I can't accept this. "

"Qingyun, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Just like what he said, it might not be the time yet. Besides, Jia Tianwei is full of tricks. I don't know what traps are waiting for you to chase after him. Let's go back first. "

"Alright. " After saying that, Qing Yun got on his horse and continued running towards Antian Prefecture. When they rushed back, the fire had already been put out. General Qu looked at the few grains that were burned down and frowned. This was the first time he was in such a sorry state. One had to know that even though he was defeated in the past, he had never been in such a miserable state.

After a long time, everyone safely returned to the Antian Prefecture, above the main hall of the General's Mansion.

"General Yim, can you calculate how many soldiers we have lost this time?"

"Replying to the marshal, we only have less than a hundred thousand soldiers left. "

"What!? Less than a hundred thousand!" Hearing this number made General Qu's heart ache.

"That's right. The loss of Broken Stone Mountain is relatively small because of the natural danger. There are only less than ten thousand people, and more than forty thousand people were lost in the battle against Yanshun. The sixty thousand men led by Prince Mu were almost completely wiped out. "

"Then how long can the grain last?"

"The grain was insufficient because of the remaining soldiers in the city. I also found that many of them were killed, so the fire was not extinguished in time. The loss was relatively large. I roughly calculated that they could last for two more days at most. "

"I never thought that I, Qu Jinpeng, would be defeated by a man from the pugilistic world after roaming the battlefield for so many years. That day, I brought two hundred thousand soldiers from the Shuntian Prefecture, but today, I have lost one hundred thousand soldiers. Furthermore, the grain supply has been cut off. Even if I ask for help from the Imperial Court now, it would be too late. As long as they trap us for a period of time, Antian Prefecture will collapse on its own. The remaining one hundred thousand soldiers will also be completely wiped out. It seems like I, Qu Jinpeng, am going to die here. " General Qu shook his head and said with a sigh.

"Is there no other way? Are we just going to sit here and wait for death?" Qing Yun asked unwillingly from the side.

"There is indeed a way, but this is virtually impossible. " General Yim said with a frown on his face.

"What way?"

"Capture the king first. If we can kill the commanders of these three kingdoms, I think they will break down by themselves. "

"According to what the Marshal said, they should still have a commander. Moreover, this commander is very likely to be the Master Jia Tianwei of Hundred-face Pavilion. Is it useful for us to kill the commanders of the three kingdoms?"

"Prince Mu, you might not know this, but even if there is a Chief Commander commanding them. . . But the soldiers of different kingdoms did not think that way. The so-called commander was not the commander of the three kingdoms. It's just giving orders to the commanders of the three countries. The one who truly commands the soldiers of the other countries is still their commander. "

"According to what General Yim said, killing the commanders of the three kingdoms is equivalent to killing the leaders of the three kingdoms, causing them to lose their heads. At that time, even the chief commander won't be able to control the situation, right?"

"That's right. "

"What General Yim said is true, but this is virtually impossible. "

"Why would the marshal say that? Are you afraid that they will be heavily guarded?" Qing Yun thought of General Qu's concerns.

"En, killing the commanders of the three kingdoms isn't a simple matter. That requires infiltrating their camps and waiting for an opportunity to assassinate. This is easier said than done. Doing it is even harder than ascending the heavens. Prince Mu, I know you've recovered a lot of your martial arts. But let's end this here. You can't take this risk. " General Qu seemed to have seen through some of Qing Yun's intentions. He immediately stopped her.

"Haha, Marshal, don't worry. I know how dangerous this place is. I'm not so ignorant as to not know the immensity of heaven and earth. " Qing Yun said to General Qu with a smile.

"That's good. When the car arrives, there will always be a way. We can discuss retreating from the enemy, but you can't have the idea of capturing the king first. "

"We will follow your orders. " General Yim and Qing Yun cupped their hands and said.

"Alright, it's late. You guys have fought for the whole day. Rest early. If there's anything, we will discuss it tomorrow. " General Qu also felt very tired. This battle had made him feel unprecedentedly tired. He didn't even know how to overcome the crisis in front of him.

"Then we will take our leave now. " After saying that, General Yim and Qing Yun left.

The night sky had already covered the land. It was pitch black everywhere. In the middle of the night, a black shadow rushed out of General's Mansion and headed towards the city gate of Antian Prefecture. This man was wearing a night robe and his face was covered with a black scarf. He leapt onto the city wall and saw that no one had jumped off the city wall and was running into the distance.

However, before he could walk far, this man in black discovered that there was another man in black standing not far away from him. This man in black held a long blade in his hand. When he saw this man, he blocked his path and seemed to be waiting for him.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?" The man in black stopped and asked the man in front of him.
