"Your Majesty, the guards have withdrawn." Fang Zhuang said in Yang Shu's ear.
Yang Shu's eyebrows spread. He comes from modern times, and civilization is far beyond this place. He is also very confident, but he is not confident enough to be a commander who grew up on horseback and is invincible in a hundred battles.
So far, he has never actually fought a battle.
The battlefield is different from other places. One wrong decision can lead to corpses everywhere.
Without absolute certainty, Yang Shu would not go head-on.
"Your Majesty, it's not good!"
The secret guard rushed towards Yang Shu, "Gucheng, Gucheng is lighting up the smoke!"
Yang Shu raised his eyes sharply and sat up from the chair, "Light up the smoke?!"
"Xiao Yi is summoning the Chiyuan Army!"
"What does she want to do!" Yang Shu's face was more serious than ever before.
The internal fighting in Xiao State was very fierce. When Xiao Yi left Xiao State, he had already exceeded his expectations. Now that he lights up the cooking smoke, Xiao Yi no longer has to worry about being pinched for food and grass!
"Your Majesty." The secret guard called for instructions.
Yang Shu suppressed his emotions and asked, "Liang Cheng is still alive?"
"In the assassination a few days ago, I only suffered minor injuries and my life is not in danger."
"Kill him." Yang Shu said in a solemn voice. Xiao Yi summoned the Chiyuan Army not to show them. The Jiangbei Army captured Rongguo's city, and she was bound to fight back.
Liang Cheng was already wary of Wei Si, coupled with his greed for life and fear of death, when facing Xiao Yi, he would just abandon the northern border and flee.
On the way to run, he might take care of Wei Si by the way.
I really can’t count on Emperor Yan for anything.
"Kill his confidants as well." Yang Shu said without any emotion.
"Yes." The secret guard clasped his fists and left.
"Why are you so stunned?" Yang Shu patted Fang Zhuang on the head, "hurry up and reinforce the city wall before Xiao Yi comes over."
Fang Zhuang was still a little confused and said: "Your Majesty, this is the northern part of Xinjiang and is not under our control."
Yang Shu was confused again, "How many people have been deployed in the Xinjiangbei Army? Is it difficult to reinforce a city wall?"
Fang Zhuang covered his head and ran out quickly.
Yang Shu looked into the distance and rubbed the jade with his fingers. Xiao Yi's arrival was a big disaster, but it wasn't all bad.
If he can hold on, Wei Si's prestige will rise, and even if he is young, no one will be dissatisfied.
On the battlefield, military achievements have always been used to judge superiority.
…
"Mom!"
"Xiao Yi!" Hu Zushi's eyes widened. He didn't care about transporting food. He found a horse and ran away.
Wei Si retreated very quickly, and when he saw Hu Zushi, he went over to meet him.
"Young master has come to the north of Xinjiang. You can go back to the city." Wei Si spoke in a low voice and said to Hu Zu.
"Young Master? Which Young Master?" Hu Zushi looked confused.
Wei Si looked around, and moved closer to Hu Zuushi, "It's for your brother to study."
Hu Zushi's eyes opened suddenly, full of shock. Two seconds later, he turned his horse's head and ran away.
Dust covered Wei Si's face.
After sighing, Wei Si rolled his eyes. The fragile brotherhood didn't even tell him to take care of himself.
…
"What!"
"Xiao Yi!" Liang Cheng barely grasped the knife in his hand. He still understood the situation clearly. Yang Shu was so powerful that the emperor might not be able to defeat him.
Therefore, Liang Cheng was outwardly obedient to the emperor's will and had already made other plans.
I have thought about doing the opposite, occupying the land and becoming king like Yang Shu, but he does not have the prestige of the Yang family. Even if others are blind, they will not choose him instead of leaving Yang Shu alone.
The end result is definitely beheading.
Another point was that the emperor was also on guard against him rebelling, so all the food from surrounding prefectures and counties was transferred away, leaving only enough for the military camp for half a month.
He had saved a lot of gold, but he couldn't eat the gold.
Liang Cheng was waiting for Yang Shu to attack Jian'an. When he arrived, he pretended to escort him. Finally, looking at the poor people, he endured the pain of a knife and surrendered to Yang Shu.
When word spreads about it, people will only remember him for his sincerity.
In full view of everyone, Yang Shu must be treated kindly even if he doesn't want to.
Liang Cheng was so focused on scheming with the high-ranking officials behind him that he had no intention of fighting, let alone facing off against Xiao Yi.
"Withdraw, withdraw!" Liang Cheng shouted.
"General, it would be too bad for our reputation to withdraw." The guard spoke in a low voice.
"What is reputation worth? Life is important?" Liang Cheng raised his eyebrows, showing off his anger.
If it were anyone else, he would still pretend to resist, Xiao Yi, that's a Rakshasa!
Seeing his displeasure, the guard hurriedly said: "General, Xiao Yi is still far away, and the guard has not come back yet, we can wait."
"You were assassinated two days ago. I'm afraid it was him."
"That boy has some skills and doesn't take you seriously anymore."
"Let's retreat together with Wei Si. If Xiao Yi comes after us, Wei Si will be able to meet the enemy. He should be able to hold Xiao Yi back for a long time."
"After we deal with him, let's take the remaining generals to Qinzhou."
The guard looked at Liang Cheng and his voice became lower as he spoke.
Liang Cheng narrowed his eyes, and the panic on his face slowly faded away, obviously he had taken the guard's words into his heart.
"Then wait." Liang Cheng spoke slowly, his eyes like poisonous scorpions.
Wei Si was quite obedient in front of him, but the young man was so dazzling that he completely covered him up. If he left it alone, these guards would probably only recognize Wei Si.
The sun is getting fainter and the night is getting darker.
The patrolling guard looked solemn as he walked between the tents with a steady pace.
Circle after circle, they finally stopped in front of Liang Cheng's tent, looked at each other, and the guards rushed in with guns drawn.
The guard at the door didn't even scream, but his throat was pierced by a spear.
On the bed, Liang Cheng frowned and sat up. Just as he was about to ask questions, he saw the tent door being lifted open.
The blood-stained spear tip glowed with a faint cold light. Liang Cheng's eyes narrowed, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "Come here! There is an assassin!"
She called him and pulled out the knife.
But Liang Cheng's movements were too slow in the end. He could not defeat a dozen guards by himself.
In just a moment, he was stabbed to death on the couch.
At the same time, Liang Cheng's personal guard was also stabbed through the heart with a knife.
The movement attracted the Xianbei Army, but these people acted quickly and ferociously. After killing everyone, they fled.
The Xinjiang Bei Army pursued them, but the tents caught fire one after another, making the scene a mess.
After the fire was extinguished, the assassin was nowhere to be seen.
General Lu Shen was dumbfounded when he looked at Liang Cheng, who was dying. He had been in panic for the past two days, fearing that Liang Cheng would find him, but he didn't know that Liang Cheng would be hacked to death before he could take action.
After swallowing, Lu Shenjiang became excited. No matter who killed Liang Cheng, it would be fine if he died.
Liang Cheng's confidants were also assassinated, and the Jiangbei Army was not Wei Si's now!
"Search, search with all your strength! The thieves who assassinated General Liang must be found!" General Lu gritted his teeth and roared.
Seeing that the guards were gone, he could no longer suppress the curve of his mouth.
…
"Your Majesty, Liang Cheng is dead." Fang Zhuang reported.
Yang Shu picked the wick without raising his head. He never liked to delay things, and since Liang Cheng's life was at stake, he would not leave him until the next day.
"knew."
After waving his hand, Yang Shu asked Fang Zhuang to step back.
Looking at the terrain map, Yang Shu's eyebrows knitted together, it was difficult to defend.
