C2403 He Was Full of Ambition
Shi Dafu had mixed feelings about the failure of the plan.
On the one hand, if the plan failed, Wang Cheng's reputation in the Rebellion Army would surely suffer a blow. After that, everyone would no longer trust him, and he would have the chance to surpass him.
On the other hand, if the plan failed, they would lose the chance to snipe the team that sent them off. After all, this place wasn't far from the pass. Furthermore... There was no place suitable for an ambush on the road after that. This could be said to be their last and best opportunity.
And if they couldn't kill the Fengjue Country's First Prince and the Great Lu Dynasty's princess... Then... The ceasefire agreement between the Fengjue Country and the Great Lu Dynasty would not allow any accidents to happen. The two countries would definitely have to stop fighting. At that time, the imperial court of the Great Lu Dynasty... There would be no external threats for the time being, and they would be able to focus on dealing with the internal affairs of the dynasty. As for the people of the Rebellion Force, they were the first targets that the imperial court of the Great Lu Dynasty wanted to deal with.
Although Shi Dafu was also very proud, he wasn't stupid. He knew that with his current strength, there was no way he could fight against the Imperial Court. The reason why he had been doing so well in the past few years was because the Imperial Court of Great Lu Dynasty didn't have the time and energy to deal with them. Once the Imperial Court recovered and dealt with them, he would not be able to hold on for long.
If such a situation really happened, the best outcome would be to find a mountain range and become a mountain king. The worst outcome would naturally be to be suppressed by the imperial court and be beheaded.
No one wasn't afraid of death, especially when Shi Dafu still had some ambitions in his heart. Naturally, he didn't want to die either. However... When the court had the energy to deal with them, it would not be a matter of whether he wanted to die or not. It would be a matter of whether the Imperial Court wanted him dead or not.
Therefore, Shi Dafu naturally didn't want that to happen. He didn't want to die yet.
Because of this, when he felt that this plan was going to fail, he was still very conflicted in his heart. However, he still felt disappointed in his heart. Obviously, he also wanted this plan to succeed.
And now, the few scout at the foot of the mountain were really confused. They didn't really go up the mountain, nor did they discover their existence. This also meant that their plan had already succeeded by more than half. What was left was to make use of the advantages of this place and the huge rocks that they had prepared in advance. Wood and the others went to fight with the Great Lu Dynasty's escort team.
Although there was a powerful Imperial Guards in the Great Lu Dynasty's escort team, there was also a large number of Fengjue Countries followers in the Combat Experience. On the main battlefield... He was sure that he and the others were no match for them. After all... The people on their side were also not united. It was to ensure the secrecy of the plan. So... There weren't many people here. If the enemy discovered their ambush... Then they could directly declare their defeat.
And now, the other party's scout hadn't discovered them, and there was a high chance that the escort team behind them wouldn't notice them either. Then they could fight to the death. When they were prepared in advance, Shi Dafu felt that they could still fight their opponent, and... The chances of them winning were very high.
Therefore, the moment he saw the success of his plan, Shi Dafu actually heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He had also seen the hope of winning, not to mention... He had already made some plans with Goatee, which could protect his combat strength. The loss was too great.
"That's good too, leader. As long as we don't charge too hard later... We just need to follow from behind. After this battle is over... " Not only will our strength not weaken, it will also increase... At that time, it won't be impossible for us to surpass Wang Cheng. " The goateed man said.
Shi Dafu nodded. "I have already told my subordinates. They know what to do."
In Shi Dafu's heart, his enemies were not only the Great Lu Dynasty's imperial court, but also Wang Cheng and some other powerful Rebellion Force. Therefore, he had long prepared for this, so that he could conserve his strength.
As the few Fengjue Countries scout left, the emotions of the people in Cangling Mountain became more and more intense. None of them had wasted their efforts. Most of their plan had succeeded, and the only thing left was... The only thing they could do was fight with the team that had sent them off.
Everyone had some confidence in the upcoming battle. Although the escort team of the Great Lu Dynasty was very strong, they still had their own advantages.
First of all, the enemy did not know that they were lying in ambush here. They could catch them off guard. In addition, the Cangling Mountain's terrain was extremely dangerous. It was easy to defend, but difficult to attack. As long as they could hold on until the battle started, they could gather together and gain the geographical advantage.
Besides, on this mountain, next to these people, there were many boulders, rolling wood, and other things that were prepared in advance. These things, combined with the terrain here, could display unimaginable effects.
A few days ago, when those old and weak disabled people were used as bait, they, who truly had combat strength, were not idle. Although they did not know if Wang Cheng's plan would succeed in the end, however, it was always right to be prepared in advance.
Therefore, these people had been preparing the huge rock for the past few days. Rolling wood, arrows, and other things had been prepared quite a bit. After all, although not everyone from their factions had come, however, even with so many people from their factions, there were still around thirty thousand people... If thirty thousand people attacked together, they would be able to prepare a lot of things in a few days' time.
Soon, the things they prepared would play a role. Those things were also the source of their confidence.
At this time, Wang Cheng was filled with complacency. In the past few years, compared to the other major powers of Rebellion Force, he was active everywhere. He had been silently developing his own strength, and had never made any big moves. Although the number of people under his command didn't increase very quickly... So many people, including the people from the imperial court of Great Lu Dynasty and the other major powers of Rebellion Army... They had somewhat neglected Wang Cheng's existence.
However, Wang Cheng wasn't living a life of boredom, nor was he waiting for his death. Instead, he was silently training his subordinates, secretly raising their strength. And now, his few years of forbearance was about to come to an end. He felt that the strength he had previously stored was enough. It was time to make a big move. Let the world know of his existence.
As for First Prince, who had killed the Fengjue Country and the princess of the Great Lu Dynasty, it was obviously a good choice. Besides creating a rift between the Great Lu Dynasty and the Fengjue Country, it could also increase his reputation. It would be very beneficial for his future development.
"Come quickly, the saber in my hand is already thirsting for more." Wang Cheng looked into the distance and whispered to himself.
In the distance where Wang Cheng was looking, there was a group of about twenty thousand people moving forward. This was the target Wang Cheng and the others were waiting for, the group of people to send the Great Lu Dynasty off.
Although, in the past few days, their group had already been attacked. However, the strength of the people who attacked them was too weak. None of them succeeded, so the strength of this team... They weren't affected by it, and their combat strength was still very strong. This was also the reason why Lu Yizha and Lin Yu were so confident.
In the team, Lu Yizha rode on a tall horse and followed the team unhurriedly. He and his subordinates had always been at the front of the team. Although walking at the front was the most dangerous, Lu Yizha was obviously not afraid. He even longed to fight.
"This place is only a few dozen miles away from the pass. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to reach the pass at noon the day after tomorrow. As long as we get out of the pass, we will be considered to have returned to our own territory. The mission of sending the Great Lu Dynasty this time can be considered to have been completed perfectly. " Beside Lu Yizha, the middle-aged messenger looked into the distance and said.1
There were, after all, quite a number of palace maid and eunuchs in this wedding procession. Therefore, the speed at which they moved forward was not fast. It was obvious that they could not be compared to the speed at which they moved. However, they would still reach the pass in a day or two. As long as they were out of the pass, the middle-aged envoy believed that no matter if it was the people from the Great Lu Dynasty Imperial Court... The Rebellion Force in their territory wouldn't be able to threaten them anymore.
"Accident? What kind of accident could there be? There won't be any accidents. " Lu Yizha said with a smile, "With those beggars from the Rebellion Force, what kind of accident can we cause? At most, they will just let us warm up."
"That's true. I was overthinking it." The middle-aged messenger did not refute Lu Yizha this time. It might have been a few days ago. The poor performance of those Great Lu Dynasties from the Rebellion Force made him feel that he had clearly seen the strength of those Rebellion Army. It was because he had overestimated them earlier. Such a person was nothing to worry about.
Perhaps it was because he was about to come out of seclusion, but this middle-aged messenger was no longer as cautious as before. In his heart, he felt that there wouldn't be any accidents.
Actually, in the end, this middle-aged envoy was just an advisor in Fengjue Country. He could still come up with ideas, but he could really compare to those famous strategists in history. There was still a huge gap between them, although he was already cautious enough. However, he could not keep such a cautious attitude all the time. In the end, he was still a little lacking.
"When I get out of here, I'll go back to the court and see how I deal with that woman." Lu Yizha turned around to look at Princess Qi's carriage and said, "I want to let her know her identity as the Great Lu Dynasty Princess. She's nothing. In front of me, she can only be obedient. Otherwise, she will not have a good life."
During this period of time, it wasn't as if Lu Yizha hadn't thought about getting Princess Qi involved. It was just that Princess Qi's attitude was firm. This was the territory of the Great Lu Dynasty. Lu Yizha couldn't use force, so he had to endure it. And this kind of patience was a form of torture to Lu Yizha. It was also a kind of humiliation.
