Chapter 635 Chicken Soup for the Soul(1/2)
The more he thought about getting angry, Lei Kunming flew into a rage. His arms as thick as thighs suddenly stretched out and strangled Changsun Chong's neck.
He looked at Changsun Chong coldly, and said with a ferocious expression: "Don't think that your father is the uncle of the dynasty, and I won't dare to do anything to you once he is the prime minister?"
"Hmph, we Shanyue people don't even look down on the emperor. Are we afraid of you, a relative of the emperor?"
"If it wasn't for your purpose, why would I come so far away to surround and kill Yang Fan, despite living a free life?"
"Because of your hatred, I have caused countless deaths and injuries to my people. I will settle this debt with you slowly. If you dare to sneer again, believe it or not, I will strangle you to death immediately."
Although Changsun Chong was proficient in the Six Arts, his martial arts skills were just a performance type.
A scholar who is so inattentive and ignorant of grain and grain cannot even defeat a special soldier.
Now facing Lei Kunming, who was as powerful as Yang Fan, he was completely powerless to fight back.
Before he could recover, his neck was pinched by a big steel-like hand, and his whole body was lifted up.
Suddenly, Changsun Chong felt it was difficult to breathe. He could only stretch out his tongue to try and catch his breath, but unfortunately the air around him seemed to have solidified, and it had no effect at all.
It wasn't until Changsun Chong's face turned red from holding back, and veins popped out on his forehead, that he felt the breath of death, and then he tried his best to pull away the big hand that was squeezing his neck.
But that big hand was like copper poured into iron, motionless.
At this moment, Changsun Chong felt that he was going to die!
Obviously, this guy is a lunatic, and he is trying to strangle himself to death.
When the two guards next to him saw that it was not good, they rushed to rescue their young master, but they were beaten so hard by the girl's little hand that they fell over and lay on the ground groaning and unable to stand up.
Just when Changsun Chong's eyes turned dark and he felt that he was about to die, the big hand around his neck suddenly let go, and his whole body fell to the ground like a dog eating shit.
Ignoring his embarrassment, Changsun Chong breathed in the fresh air greedily, and it took a long time for his expression to change.
At this moment, Changsun Chong felt that it was great to be alive!
Lei Kunming looked at Changsun Chong with disdain. If this guy hadn't been useful, he would have killed the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mountains long ago. How could he be allowed to make noise here?
Especially since this pretty boy's family accounts for more than half of Datang's iron ore transactions, this is what Shanyue lacks the most.
The reason why they failed this time was not because the weapons in Yang Fan's hands were too powerful.
Thinking about the clan members who had just been killed and injured by the pistol, Lei Kunming was even more furious and wanted to smash his eldest grandson into pieces.
If Chang Sun Chong had told the opponent earlier that he had such a powerful weapon, he wouldn't have attacked so recklessly.
Of course, the reason why Lei Kunming had to charge desperately was to disregard the lives of his people.
On the one hand, this is because this is the condition negotiated with Zhang Liang and Changsun Chong, in exchange for relative peace with Zhang Liang.
On the other hand, they want to use this to gain support from the major Jiangnan aristocratic families for Shanyue.
Obviously, this time Shanyue not only failed to reap any benefits, but also lost troops and generals. It was a huge loss!
However, the Shanyue people are not so easy to take advantage of. As long as the eldest grandson is in their hands, they will have enough chips to earn back what they have lost.
Changsun Chong was so stared at by Lei Kunming that he felt terrified.
This Zongshuai of Shanyue is completely unreasonable. He kills people entirely based on his mood. I heard that he also likes to eat raw flesh and blood. It is better not to easily offend him.
Unfortunately, what Changsun Chong didn't know was that Lei Kunming had already set his sights on him.
When the atmosphere was somewhat silent, a Shanyue man hurried over to report: "Commander Zong, the men and horses that surrounded and suppressed the fleet on the shore have escaped!"
Lei Kunming was stunned for a moment, a little unbelievable, and suddenly his expression changed: "What did you say?"
The Shanyue man glanced at Lei Kunming carefully, and said again with some uneasiness: "Those who surrounded and suppressed the fleet were menacing, but they were no match at all. Yang Fan's fleet seemed to have a weapon that could release divine thunder, which could explode a large
The holes, the last corpses dumped all over the river, disappeared without a trace."
Hearing this, Changsun Chong on the side was completely dumbfounded.
He knew the identities of those who surrounded and suppressed Yang's sailing fleet. They were the imperial navy stationed in the south of the Yangtze River.
These people are not only well-trained, but also possess the most advanced warships in the Tang Dynasty.
Not long after, he was actually defeated by Yang Fan's gang of landlubbers?
How can this be?
Although Changsun Chong knew very well that the artifact that the Shanyue people said could release thunder was just the Thunderbolt produced by the firearms workshop.
But as far as he knew, it was impossible for the power of the Bangtianlei to pose much of a threat to the huge Five-Tooth battleship.
In his opinion, as long as these navy can get close to Yang Fan's fleet and the two sides engage in hand-to-hand combat, the battle will be devastating.
But the result was so unexpected, how could Changsun Chong not be surprised.
Although he was shocked, Changsun Chong couldn't help but feel a headache secretly.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Liang praised Jiang Chang, his adopted son, so highly that he was like a piece of trash.
This guy not only lost troops and generals, but also escaped before the battle. If he returned to the army and betrayed his eldest grandson, I'm afraid the eldest grandson's family would also be in trouble.
Thinking of this, Changsun Chong quickly asked: "Those people escaped. What is Duke Yun doing? Didn't he bring so many people with him?"
The Shanyue man glanced at Lei Kunming and saw that his sect commander did not stop him. He quickly said respectfully: "Duke Yun did not appear in the battle by the river. I don't know where he went..."
Upon hearing this, Lei Kunming and Changsun Chong turned pale.
In their opinion, they were all plotted by Zhang Liang.
This guy let them fight on the mountain while he led them down the mountain and hid, obviously treating them like pigs.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Lei Kunming gritted his teeth and said: "My sons, Duke Yun actually dares to plot against us. I'm going to inform you that anyone who sees Duke Yun will be killed without mercy!"
Upon hearing this, Changsun Chong was very anxious and quickly tried to dissuade him: "Commander Zong, you must not do this!"
In Changsun Chong's view, the alliance fell out before it even started. What should Yang Fan do?
In any case, Yang Fan is his biggest enemy.
The girl on the side also quickly advised: "Brother, please be patient for now. Don't jump to conclusions until the matter is investigated clearly."
After hearing his sister's dissuasion, Lei Kunming gradually calmed down, but he couldn't calm down the depression in his heart. He snorted coldly and said: "Jiaojiao, isn't it obvious? That guy obviously thinks that we are taken advantage of, huh,
Since you said so, my brother is giving you face, and I hope to see Duke Yun soon..."
Before he finished speaking, a voice came from afar.
"Haha, who wants to see me..."
Soon, a group of people rushed out from the forest, and the leader was Zhang Liang, Duke of Yun.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Liang dared to show up.
Looking at the opponent's neat team, and then at the wailing tribesmen on the ground, the anger in Lei Kunming's heart suddenly boiled up, and he asked angrily: "Master Yun is so powerful, he just cleaned up after coming off the battlefield.
If it is so clean, have all the enemies on the shore been wiped out?"
Hearing these strange words, Zhang Liang couldn't help but blush, no matter how thick-skinned he was.
According to the plan, it was the navy led by Jiang Chang that attacked Yang Fan's fleet on the river.
As long as Jiang Chang led his men to attack the ship, Zhang Liang would lead his men to kill them from the shore and board the ship.
It's a pity that God's calculations are not as good as those of humans, and the navy led by Jiang Chang was defeated before it even started.
Seeing how brave Yang Fan's fleet was, Zhang Liang no longer dared to take action and could only lead his men back to the mountain in despair.
Of course, Zhang Liang naturally refused to admit that he was timid in front of Lei Kunming, so he argued: "Ahem, the mountains and forests here are lush and the terrain is complex. I got lost in the mountains, and by the time I got to the shore, it was already too late.
"
"In order not to disrupt the plan, I had no choice but to rush back without stopping to discuss countermeasures with Zong Shuai..."
"snort!"
Seeing Zhang Liang's sophistry, Lei Kunming snorted to express his dissatisfaction.
Lost your way in the mountains?
It's just nonsense.
Zhang Liang was originally the general manager sent by the emperor to the south of the Yangtze River to encircle and suppress the Shanyue people.
If he could get lost in the mountains, Zhang Liang would have been killed by the Shanyue people long ago.
However, Lei Kunming did not expose it on the spot.
After all, the Shanyue people had suffered heavy losses, so it was not the time to fall out.
More importantly, only by capturing Yang Fan can the interests of the Shanyue people be guaranteed.
Lei Kunming can think of this, and as the Shanyue people's military advisor and Lei Kunming's sister, Lei Jiaojiao can certainly think of it too.
Therefore, the girl on the side was afraid that her brother would turn back regardless of the consequences, so she quickly interjected: "Duke Yun has arrived just in time. We are discussing how to attack the mountain again. Duke Yun has been in the army for many years and has rich combat experience. You can also help with the calculation.
"
Zhang Liang pretended to be surprised and said: "Ah? Could it be that Commander Zong also failed? I thought you had wiped out Yang Fan and were repairing it?"
As soon as these words came out, Lei Kunming's face turned red and white. It was like a naked slap in the face!
Just when Lei Kunming was about to get angry, Chang Sun Chong quickly advised: "Commander Zong, Duke Yun... let's quickly discuss how to capture Yang Fan. If we start internal strife among ourselves, wouldn't it make Yang Fan laugh out loud?
To be continued...
