"General, this isn't a scam, is it?"
Looking at the large army gathering in the distance, a general on the city tower asked hesitantly.
Heliance on the side also had a puzzled look on his face. Logically speaking, the Xuantian Sect had just been defeated, and at the same time, both of the opponent's partial masters had been dealt with by himself. At this time, he should shrink his defense line to guard against them. It's better to just go all out, why are you taking the initiative?
At first, Heliance thought the same as the general, thinking that this was a trick by the other party. However, it seemed that the other party's morale was low. It didn't look like there was any plan. Instead, it looked like a broken pot. Falling posture.
"Could it be that the other party wants to use a tactic to kill the enemy?" The general thought suddenly, and then said with a shocked look on his face: "General, is that person on the other side already dead?"
Heliance was stunned for a moment, and then he said calmly: "No way, I just wrote a letter to ridicule him. I can't bear twenty years of humiliation, only to be pissed to death by just a few words."
Xuantianjiao's actions were so weird that Heliance in Liaoyang City became a little worried. Could it be that the other party really used some trick that he didn't see through?
This kind of doubt continued until the Xuantian Sect was defeated for the second time and was still unsolved. Heliance really couldn't figure it out, so he had to tighten his defenses, and then squatted alone in the barracks to continue thinking hard.
After losing two battles in a row, Xuantian Sect's morale was extremely low. This made Wei Tao relieved, because now they no longer have the ability to continue attacking. This also made the prince unable to do anything no matter how angry he was.
Fortunately, after two setbacks, the prince finally regained some sense. He finally understood that using these people under him to go head-to-head with the elite White Armored Army and adding a Liaoyang City would be to risk death.
"Your Highness, the only solution for today is to come up with a strange plan." Wei Tao stood down and suggested bravely.
It was expected that they would not be able to fight on the frontal battlefield, but their partial divisions that were divided into two groups were also strangled. Now the idea of isolating Liaoyang City was impossible to complete.
What's more, now that Heliance has seen clearly their true and false intentions, even if they want to attack the city with a large army and frighten the opponent, they can't do it.
The prince suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at the few generals in the tent. He asked in a deep voice: "In the current situation, what can you do?"
Everyone lowered their heads, and the atmosphere was very dull. Seeing the anger on the prince's face reappeared, Wei Tao made up his mind to pretend to be dead. However, the Protector Sheep on the side had no choice but to sigh secretly, stood up and said: "Your Highness, General Wei What you said makes sense, now we can only win by surprise."
The prince's face looked better, and he snorted coldly: "General Yang, let me know what you think."
Protector Sheep looked around, gritted his teeth and said, "Reporting to Your Highness, although the Xuantian Sect has soldiers and horses trained by General Wei, they are not as good as the White Armored Army of the imperial court. It would be unwise to confront them head-on."
The prince glared with angry eyes and said coldly: "I already know this. Why, the Sheep Protector still wants to teach me that I don't know how to use soldiers?"
Protector Sheep broke out in a cold sweat and quickly knelt down and said: "Your Highness, I forgive you. I didn't mean this. I just wanted to remind Your Highness that the Xuantian Sect is a force in the world, and fighting in the military formation is not what we do." Chang, if you want to win, you still have to use Jianghu means."
"You mean, assassination?"
The prince narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, while Wei Tao on the side said sarcastically: "General Yang, you have such a strong tone. I guess with your martial arts, you will be able to break into Liaoyang City and take the head of Na Heliance." Bar."
The old sheep protector blushed. He knew best how much he weighed. To assassinate the general of the Chinese army under the protection of layers of soldiers, even if he called the top masters in the world, he might not be able to succeed, let alone a mere mediocre person like him. .
But Protector Sheep still gritted his teeth and said: "What General Wei said is true, but our target is not Heliance here. Even if we can kill him, what is the use in the overall situation? Please note that on the way to the capital from here, I don’t know how many great cities and gates there are, can we still fight all the way to the gate of the capital?”
Wei Tao snorted coldly: "In that case, I wonder what General Yang has to say?"
Protector Sheep raised his head and glanced at the confused prince, and then said: "My subordinates' intention is that we should not abandon the original and pursue the inferior. Please think carefully, your highness, our intention is to reveal the orthodox position of the throne in the world. Now the throne of the capital has been taken by someone." Overstep, at this moment we should not be obsessed with the gains and losses of one or two cities, but should focus on more important things."
The prince's eyes narrowed slightly: "What General Yang wants to say is, Lu Hanjiang?"
He didn't want to say the word "grandson" out loud. Perhaps he was disdainful or angry. The successive blows made him no longer have any good impressions of this "son" whom he had never met before.
"Exactly," Protector Sheep said quickly, "Meng Yuan is so confused that he actually dares to ask the most important person today to personally come to the North to quell the rebellion - Your Highness! This is our best chance!"
Indeed, no matter whether it is siege or assassination, against the White Armor Army with a complete military formation, no matter how many masters the Xuantian Sect has, it will be useless. One against ten, one against a hundred, what can it do? The opponent is overwhelming and tens of thousands of people are here. .
But it was different when dealing with His Highness Taisun, who was coming to the North to conquer the rebellion. Even if there were more sergeants accompanying him, the defense of the army during the march was still not as good as that of the White Armored Army with the city wall to rely on.
If Xuantian Sect's masters are all available, it is entirely possible to capture His Highness the Grand Sun directly in the military formation, and once something goes wrong with His Highness the Grand Sun, the court will never be able to recover.
After all, the late emperor suddenly collapsed and the court was able to stabilize in such a short period of time because of Taisun's integrity. If he was captured by them, the world would be in chaos, and everyone who was still watching would take action.
Protector Sheep knew very well that this was a risky move. He was not only gambling on the fate of the Xuantian Sect, but also on the fate of the dynasty. After all, if the world was really in chaos, even if they finally won the throne, it would probably take them many years or even a lifetime. To fill the holes.
But unfortunately, they have no choice at this moment.
Protector Sheep said in a deep voice: "My subordinates are brave and ask His Highness to lead Xuantian Sect's masters deep into the enemy's rear. Meng Yuan, Wen Kongheng and Heng are all in the capital now. The other masters in the imperial court are no match for Your Highness. If this plan is successful, Liaoyang City will be defeated." It’s self-defeating if you don’t attack!”
The prince pondered for a long time, and finally nodded: "I have made up my mind, Wei Tao, I will go and gather the defeated troops, and then continue to pretend to attack the city with a lot of noise. I will personally take the masters of the teaching to see that 'His Royal Highness' ,Ah."
"As commanded."
The words were divided into two parts. When the Xuantian Sect was planning a battle to determine the outcome, Lu Hanjiang was already on the road to the North with an army of 50,000 in Beijing.
However, although he was leading troops on an expedition, in fact Lu Hanjiang was more of a nominal commander. The actual commander of the army was someone else. After all, it was impossible for the court to let him, an inexperienced person, command an army. Soldiers were the most important thing in the country. How could it be so careless?
Lu Hanjiang acted more like a flag this time, an orthodox flag, but this was enough. As a grandson, and even more so as the future majesty, he did not need to know how to lead troops in war. He knew how to lead people and appoint them well. To do.
The general in charge of commanding the army this time was theoretically related to Lu Hanjiang. He seemed to want to call him senior brother because he was also one of Luo Yuanjing's disciples.
"General An, does the academy even teach the art of war?" On the way, Lu Hanjiang looked at the majestic general beside him and couldn't help but ask.
An Mu smiled and said: "The teacher is knowledgeable and has dabbled in hundreds of schools of thought."
Lu Hanjiang shook his head with emotion. Looking at the slow road ahead, he asked again: "The Xuantian Sect is coming fiercely. Does General An think General Helian will have a hard time?"
An Mu said confidently: "Your Highness, don't worry. General Helian has been guarding the North for many years and has experienced many battles. He is by no means a person with a reputation for nothing. The Xuantian Sect is no more than a bunch of rough and tumble people. He doesn't have the ability to cause him any trouble."
"So, we are already sure of victory?" Lu Hanjiang was a little uninterested. The Xuantian Sect seemed to be weaker than he thought.
"That's not necessarily the case," An Mu thought for a while and said, "After all, the other party comes from Jianghu. If he is pressed, he may use some other means. Your Highness is better to be careful."
