Shengze's expression changed and he asked, "What happened?"
Coach Deng's face was not very good-looking, "Chenzhou has come to report urgently. King Zhao is about to lead an army to attack Chenzhou. The general asserts that Zheng Shicheng, the prefect of Chenzhou, will never be able to defend it."
In other words, Chenzhou will soon be captured by King Zhao. Without Chenzhou in front, the Northern Hubei Army will face King Zhao's army across the Lanjiang River.
This news was indeed very bad. Shengze frowned in thought and remained silent.
Ling Yun asked: "Does the general have any countermeasures?"
"King Zhao's behavior disrupted the general's previous arrangements. Before I came, the general was discussing matters with several lieutenants. I don't know what to do specifically." Coach Deng shook his head.
His task is to train troops, and he generally does not participate in such decision-making meetings.
However, there was something strange. After the general got the news, he immediately asked him to personally find the brothers from the Cheng family and go to the camp. Could it be that he was interested in the skills of these two brothers and wanted to send them to do something?
At first, Coach Deng only thought that Liang Cheng asked him to call people because he wanted the two men to return to the camp to continue training. However, after thinking about it along the way, he felt that it must be more than just letting them train.
Several people had a solid foundation in kung fu and soon arrived in front of Liang Cheng.
Liang Cheng retreated, leaving only Sheng Ze and Ling Yun talking in the room.
This move further confirmed Coach Deng's inner thoughts. He was thinking that he would have to treat his brothers better in the future. After all, talents are rare.
Inside the room, Liang Cheng looked at Shengze and asked, "Did Old Deng tell you?"
Shengze nodded, "What's the situation in Chenzhou now?"
"It's very pessimistic," Liang Cheng sighed before he said anything. "Originally, there was a drought in a small number of places in Chenzhou last year, which affected the harvest. This year it was even more serious, and a large amount of grain was stolen by that old man Zhai Liang. Now it's just in Just hold on."
Zhai Liang was the prefect of Chenzhou before, so it was too easy to mobilize food.
Shen Qingqian and the others had heard someone mention this matter when they passed by Chenzhou. Sheng Ze had an impression, but he didn't think much about it at the time.
"When will King Zhao launch an attack on Chenzhou?" Shengze thought for a while and asked.
Liang Cheng's frowning eyebrows relaxed a little, "This news was obtained from the secret agent planted by King Zhao in Chenzhou. According to King Zhao's nature, the fastest time should be half a month later."
They originally thought that King Zhao would wait until the New Year before starting the war, but who would have thought that it would happen so quickly.
Judging from this, King Zhao must have wanted to capture Chenzhou before the year and catch everyone off guard.
"What are the general's plans?" Shengze's eyes were deep, and the emotions in his eyes were hard to see through.
Liang Cheng thought for a moment and then said: "Actually, everything I do at this time is in vain. There is no way the Northern Hubei Army will rush to assist Chenzhou. Not to mention whether the court will approve it, even if I want to go, food, grass and military pay will be a big problem."
At this point, he looked out the window and sighed, "It's just a pity that Zheng Shicheng, a generation of Confucian generals, may have his head removed."
Zheng Shicheng is a pure minister. The so-called pure minister means that as long as there is no change of dynasty, he will be loyal to whoever becomes the emperor.
"General, do you think much of Mr. Zheng?" Shengze asked again, his gaze getting darker.
Liang Cheng looked directly at him and nodded, "Yes, Zheng Shicheng is an upright man. Although he sometimes has conservative ideas, he is a good official who wholeheartedly serves the people."
When the late emperor sent Zheng Shicheng to Chenzhou, he also hoped that he could manage this land.
Not only that, Zheng Shicheng was also good at both civil and military affairs. He could govern the country with literature and bring peace to the country with military force. It would be a pity if such a talent died in this feudal rebellion.
Shengze suddenly said in a deep voice: "I can save Zheng Shicheng."
