Chapter 105 I can't argue with you, so wait for death

"Your Highness, please don't speak carelessly!"

The thin man said calmly, "Although we are the kings of the Black Wind Ridge, we have always been a people who never pick up things on the road and never lock our doors at night. We have never done anything that is against the will of heaven and earth."

"We pay 'protection fees' to each city every year, and we have never defaulted on a single cent."

"How come when His Highness says it, it becomes 'causing trouble to the people and oppressing the people'?"

"fart!"

Chu Yang shouted angrily, "You bandits, you rob people by trickery and oppression, and you still dare to quibble here?!"

"Your Highness, we call this 'collecting hard work fees', how can it be called robbery?"

The thin man said slowly, "We have a large number of people in Black Wind Ridge. It is only natural for us to collect some hard work fees for protecting the peace of the area, right?"

"That's... well said. I didn't expect there are such capable people in Black Wind Ridge."

Chu Yang didn’t know how to refute for a moment, but he also knew what the other party meant.

It’s nothing more than that the major cities are their backers!

at this time.

Zhang Liao on the side whispered: "Your Highness, the enemy is clearly not giving us face. We should retreat first. It's too dangerous here."

"Well, it's time to go."

As he spoke, Chu Yang turned his head to look at the two of them and said loudly: "Since the negotiation is unsuccessful, I will leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yang waved his hand and left decisively with Zhang Liao and several personal soldiers.

"Your Highness, wait a minute. I'm sure you've had a long journey here. I'll prepare some 'tea leaves' for you. How about that?"

When the thin man saw Chu Yang was about to leave, he quickly spoke loudly.

Chu Yang sneered in his heart. It turned out that Black Wind Ridge was in cahoots with those cities. This "tea" might not be a good thing!

He rubbed his temples pretending to be tired and said loudly, "Okay, I'm thirsty, I'll go to the central army tent and wait for your tea."

After saying that, Chu Yang waved his sleeves and left with Zhang Liao and several personal soldiers.

Only the people in Black Wind Ridge were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

Return to the tent.

Chu Yang put away the indifference on his face, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He walked to the map and tapped his fingers gently on the location of Black Wind Ridge.

"General Zhang, have you checked the terrain? Is it easy to fight?"

Zhang Liao frowned when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, this Black Wind Ridge is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you want to attack it by force, I'm afraid you will have to pay a heavy price."

"In that case, let's find a way to get them out on their own."

Chu Yang pondered for a moment, then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"What do you mean, Your Highness?"

"When they bring the 'tea' over later, we'll all be under their command."

"Two days later, you will disguise yourself as a merchant and go to Kyoto with the 'tea'. I'm sure they will come out to intercept it, and then we can catch them all in one fell swoop."

"I want to see if Black Wind Ridge is truly principled or just pretending to be noble!"

"promise!"

Zhang Liao's eyes gleamed, and he clasped his fists in acceptance of the order.

The sun sets over the west mountain, and the sunset glow dyes half of the sky red.

A carriage slowly drove out of Chu Yang's tent.

The leading man rode his horse and trotted to Chu Yang, then dismounted and bowed.

"Your Highness, our village chief said that this is tea as a gift to you. Look..."

"Ah."

Chu Yang nodded pretending to be satisfied, looked at the man with a squint, and asked, "Is that all?"

"Your Highness, that's all."

The man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "Our village chief said that he will pay tribute to Your Highness on time every month in the future."

Chu Yang smiled slightly, then came to the side of the carriage, opened the trunk, and found that it was full of gold, silver and jewelry.

"That's right. Go back and tell your village leader that I will withdraw my troops immediately."

"it is good."

The man felt relieved, nodded and left.

that's it.

Chu Yang's 10,000-man army broke camp and left, leaving the Black Wind Ridge bandits staring at each other in bewilderment.

On the road.

Chu Yang asked Zhang Liao who was standing aside.

"General Zhang, these jewels are enough for you to pretend to be a merchant."

"enough."

Zhang Liao nodded in response. At this time, he already knew Chu Yang's plan.

That means his business trip will definitely be attacked by the bandits from Black Wind Ridge.

By then, at least half of the bandits in Black Wind Ridge would have come out, which would fulfill Chu Yang's plan to lure them out.

As for the remaining half, he still had no idea what to do.

But he knew that trusting Chu Yang was absolutely right!

"Your Highness is wise!"

Zhang Liao clasped his fists and said, "This move is indeed brilliant. In a few days, we will be able to eradicate this cancer in Black Wind Ridge!"

Chu Yang smiled faintly, but he was thinking about a bigger plan in his mind.

Black Wind Ridge is just a chess piece in his plan. His real target is the entire Central Plains, or even the entire Great Zhou!

A few days later.

Zhang Liao disguised himself as a wealthy businessman, carrying the jewels seized from Black Wind Ridge, and paraded through the city towards Kyoto.

"Uu——"

When they reached a valley in Black Wind Ridge, Zhang Liao suddenly stopped his horse and looked around vigilantly.

"What's wrong, General Zhang?"

Seeing this, several bodyguards behind him drew their weapons and asked nervously.

"Somewhat something is wrong."

Zhang Liao frowned and whispered, "It's too quiet here, and?"

Before he finished speaking, a sound of breaking through the air was suddenly heard!

Whoosh whoosh~

Dozens of sharp arrows shot out from the dense forest, heading straight for Zhang Liao and others!

"Enemy attack! Protect the general!"

The personal soldiers reacted quickly, raising their shields and protecting Zhang Liao behind them.

Ding Ding Dang Dang~

The sharp arrows hit the shield, making crisp sounds and sparks flying.

next moment.

Figures gathered in the dense forest, and bandits all over the mountains rushed out roaring.

"Leave the carriage behind, we want money but not lives!"

"finally come."

Zhang Liao looked at these ferocious bandits with a scornful smile on his face.

"General Zhang, what should we do?" Several personal soldiers behind him asked in panic as they looked at the black masses of bandits surrounding them.

"Why panic!"

Zhang Liao snorted coldly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Your Highness has already made arrangements, act according to the original plan!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers felt at ease upon hearing this. They had absolute confidence in Chu Yang.

Since His Highness said there is an arrangement, it must be correct!

"The bandits are coming, run!"

Zhang Liao suddenly shouted loudly, then kicked his horse's belly and rushed out of the valley first.

"Want to run? That's not that easy! Brothers, chase them! Whoever grabs the treasure on the carriage will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver!"

Upon seeing this, the bandit leader was overjoyed and immediately called on his men to chase Zhang Liao and his men.

For a while.

The shouts of killing shook the sky.

Zhang Liao and his men ran all the way, and the bandits behind them were chasing them relentlessly, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.

"General Zhang, these bandits are chasing us relentlessly. What should we do?"

A guard asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, we're just ahead."
