Mixed martial arts: I am the best in the world

Chapter 669
Outside Hulao Pass, in the Xia Army camp, Xu Shiji was receiving guests from the friendly forces. They were Changsun Wuji and Ning Daoqi. The three of them were chatting happily in the big tent.

"King Xia has a lot of trust in General Xu. Hundreds of thousands of troops are placed in the hands of the general. This trust is enviable!" Ning Daoqi couldn't help but sigh.

"I'm very envious, but Mao Gong, why do I feel that the morale of the army is not high!" Changsun Wuji said suddenly.

Xu Shiji's face froze after hearing this. Of course he heard the meaning of Changsun Wuji's words. The morale was not high, it was clearly a miscellaneous army. Dou Jiande had nearly a million soldiers and horses, including many elite soldiers and generals, but this There were few elites among the 40-strong army, and most of them were like stragglers.

"Elites have been trained since ancient times." Ning Daoqi said with a smile: "Look at how elite Qinhou's soldiers, horses and black armor cavalry are. Aren't they also trained by Qinhou himself? I believe these 40 troops are In the hands of Mao Gong, you will soon become an elite."

"So, this King of Xia is really good at summoning people. He knows the capabilities of the general, so he trained the general. Unfortunately, when the matter is over, these 40 troops will fall into the hands of the King of Xia. I am just doing this for fear." The work feels not worth it!" Changsun Wuji said while drinking wine and shaking his head.

"Is Maogong ready to defect to King Xia?" Ning Daoqi suddenly asked.

"No, the general just owes a favor to King Xia, and this time it is just to repay the favor." Xu Shiji said without hesitation: "Moreover, this matter is also related to the Eastern Wilderness. The general believes that everyone should unite at this time Let’s defeat King Ming first.”

When Xu Shiji said this, his eyes flashed with cold light, and his murderous intent was revealed.

What he dislikes the most is Ming Wang Zhu Shou. No man may be able to bear this. What a shame it is that the other party has snatched away his fiancée.

"Yes! King Ming is cruel and greedy. There is no one in the entire Donghuang people who doesn't hate each other, so we should all unite to kill King Ming." Changsun Wuji sighed: "Just wanting to kill the other party is not the same. Such an easy thing!”

"Master Changsun, if you and Senior Ning come to see me, Marquis Qin must have already figured out a solution!" Xu Shiji said quietly.

No one is a fool. Although the two sides are allies, they are more often enemies.Why did Changsun Wuji come to see him? Apart from recruiting him, he was probably more interested in discussing how to defeat the enemy.

"Maogong, I won't hide it from you. The Evil Emperor is planning to use the human sea tactic and use millions of troops to completely eliminate King Ming." Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and said: "Although the Marquis of Qin objects, the Evil Emperor and others believe that, This matter is related to the situation in Donghuang, no matter how many casualties there are, we will not hesitate."

"So, you are targeting these 40 troops?" Xu Shiji suddenly took a breath of air after hearing this. Suddenly, he understood why Dou Jiande asked him to command these 40 troops. This was definitely not trust in him. , it is more important to let yourself bear this notoriety and let these 40 people die.

Li Shimin knew about the Evil Emperor's plan, but Dou Jiande also knew about it.But as the King of Xia, and with a reputation for benevolence, how could he possibly send these 40 people to death?
So he chose Xu Shiji. Who else could Xu Shiji, who had driven hundreds of thousands of troops to die, other than surrendering to Dou Jiande, rely on?This may be what Dou Jiande has in mind.

Xu Shiji's heart felt cold. Although he didn't like Dou Jiande and was just wandering between Daxia and Li Tang, no matter what, he was still very grateful for Dou Jiande's trust.But now the truth is known from the mouths of Changsun Wuji and Ning Daoqi.Dou Jiande was just using himself, leaving himself with this eternal infamy and letting himself take the blame.

"Maogong, it seems you know it?" Changsun Wuji saw the look on Xu Shiji's face, and was secretly proud of himself. Maybe he was not as good as Xu Shiji in martial arts, but in terms of resourcefulness, Xu Shiji couldn't compare to him.

Xu Shiji said coldly: "Let me ask, why are there no famous generals among these 40 troops, or even Dou Jiande's confidant generals? It turns out that Dou Jiande wanted these 40 troops to die, and a certain family was commanding these 40 troops to die. people."

Changsun Wuji nodded after hearing this and said: "Although I agree with this matter, I must remind the general that this is probably what Dou Jiande meant. There must be someone to carry out such a thing, and the best candidate is the general, isn't it? ?”

"Damn it." Xu Shiji became furious after hearing this.

He also wants to gain a good reputation. Once he commands these 40 troops to die, how will the world view him?Will there be soldiers following behind him in the future, charging into battle for him?
In addition to establishing meritorious service, the biggest requirement for soldiers is to survive.Now Xu Shiji actually urged all 40 people to send them to the enemy and spread the word. Who dares to follow Xu Shiji?

"The Evil Emperor's use of troops is just like his behavior. Everything is based on the results." Ning Daoqi said with a bitter smile: "Although we tried to dissuade him, it had no effect. Princess Xiuning also agreed to the Evil Emperor's suggestion."

All bad reputations are borne by the Evil Emperor. As for Li Xiuning, it doesn't matter. She is just a woman and cannot inherit the throne of Tang Dynasty. It doesn't matter if she bears some guilt.

"Is this really the only way to deal with King Ming?" Xu Shiji couldn't help but said: "If this is really the only way, I also support it. Although it requires a little sacrifice, as long as we can kill King Ming, a little sacrifice is It’s acceptable. After all, for the long-term peace and stability of Donghuang, what does this loss count?”

Changsun Wuji's eyes lit up when he heard this. This Xu Shiji was indeed not simple, he was also a ruthless guy. 40 troops were nothing in front of him.

Maybe he was angry just now because Dou Jiande kept it secret from him and used him as a gun or even a chess piece, so he was very unhappy.In fact, in Xu Shiji's eyes, a general should be ruthless and not benevolent like a woman.

Changsun Wuji sighed in his heart. Maybe Dou Jiande made it clear to Xu Shiji, and Xu Shiji might even help.In the final analysis, this Dou Jiande still doesn't know how to employ people. Talents like Xu Shiji should be open and honest.

However, all this is what he hopes to see. After all, the more stupid Dou Jiande is, the greater the chance that Xu Shiji will surrender to Li Tang.

"I don't know what the evil emperor's plan is, so that the general can cooperate easily." Xu Shiji asked: "It is not an easy matter to kill King Ming, even if it is a siege."
