Yi Xiaodao led the Nanhuai army, marched to the military camp, and went to the east of Wancheng without any delay or hurry.
"Master Yi, the city of Anhui is ahead of us. It is inconvenient for the army to enter the city. Where can we go?" Wang Xuan was not good at riding a horse. He looked at the map while sitting in the carriage and asked Yi Xiaodao.
"How will Prime Minister Zhou arrange his troops?" Yi Xiaodao looked at the hill where He Yue'er was and asked casually.
Wang Xuan rummaged through a pile of reports and said: "Prime Minister Zhou's 300,000 soldiers and horses are deployed in the west of Wancheng, from the southwest of Wancheng to the northwest of Wancheng, from the riverside to Qiancheng, stretching for nearly a hundred miles. , the defense line is very tight.”
"Qiancheng? Wasn't it captured by Ge Cifeng?" Yi Xiaodao had a good memory and asked immediately.
"Some time ago, Ge Cifeng raided the military supplies, but was surrounded by light cavalry sent by Prime Minister Zhou. He cut off his retreat and took advantage of the situation to capture Qiancheng."
"So Ge Cifeng's troops are west of Qian City?"
Wang Xuan rummaged through the report again and replied: "Exactly, north of Taicheng and west of Qiancheng."
Yi Xiaodao stretched out his head and summoned the messenger: "Go and tell Duke Zhongyi that I intend to lead my army to station at Tianzhu Mountain. What do you think?"
The herald ran away in a hurry, and soon came back: "My loyalty is official, and more than ten thousand elite soldiers, as well as my property and life, will be given to Master Yi. Master Yi can use his discretion and there is no need to discuss."
"Oh, when did he learn how to say beautiful things in such a way?" Yi Xiaodao shook his head and smiled: "Okay, let's pass the order and take the north of Wancheng, and the army will march to Tianzhu Mountain!"
The army slowly marched from the east to the north of Wancheng, bypassed Wancheng, and only took Tianzhu Mountain. Yi Xiaodao looked back at the hill behind him, staring intently.
"Lord Yi, if you continue to break up, you will inevitably suffer chaos." Wang Xuan saw Yi Xiaodao's thoughts and said while sitting in the car.
"It's nothing, it's broken." Yi Xiaodao replied without moving his eyes.
Wang Xuan put away the memorials scattered all over the car one by one, and said with a smile: "There are only two of you in the car. Does Mr. Yi want to lie to me or himself?"
The army was deflected, and Yi Xiaodao was out of sight, so he turned back and said, "Hey, Wang Xuan, what do you mean? Why can't I understand?"
Wang Xuan looked into Yi Xiaodao's eyes: "Of course I am persuading you. No matter whether you want to leave or stay, you must make a final decision. Only in this way can you live up to any girl and yourself. Such disconnection and worry... this How can twenty-five thousand soldiers and horses dare to risk their lives for you?"
Yi Xiaodao didn't answer. He looked out of the car and looked at the passing scenery. After a while, he said, "I know."
The army was marching, and suddenly, the horse pulling Yi Xiaodao's carriage neighed, as if it was frightened, and raised its two front hooves high, soaring into the air. Yi Xiaodao and Wang Xuan were knocked around while driving and found it difficult to stand. The escorting soldiers stepped forward quickly, and it took a while before they and the coachman restrained the horses.
No one noticed that Yi Xiaodao's car curtain fluttered, as if a figure got into the car.
"I'm starving to death. Do you have anything to eat?" As soon as Fu Qing got into the car, he started groping around Yi Xiaodao's body.
"Hey! Stop! Hahaha...hey!! Hahaha, men and women can't kiss each other!" The space in the car was small, and Yi Xiaodao hurriedly avoided it, but Fu Qing still touched his flesh from time to time, and couldn't help laughing. Come.
Wang Xuan and Fu Qing had also known each other for a long time. Although they knew that they were somewhat familiar with each other, they didn't know that they were already familiar with each other to this extent. Seeing the two of them having fun, and remembering that they were just talking about He Yue'er, he immediately picked up the bundles of memorials and got out of the car.
"Okay, okay, here you go." Yi Xiaodao took out a bag from behind and threw it to Fu Qing: "Hey. Wang Xuan, why are you going?"
"Little man, get out of the car and take a walk." Wang Xuan replied calmly.
Yi Xiaodao grabbed Wang Xuan and pulled him back: "Why are you walking? We are still sixty or seventy miles away from Tianzhu Mountain. Can you walk? Just sit here!"
Fu Qing opened Yi Xiaodao's bag and immediately smiled: "Hey, so many fruits?"
"You eat slowly, I won't compete with you. Where have you been these days?" Yi Xiaodao asked Xiang Fuqing.
Fu Qing held the fruit in her mouth and winked at Yi Xiaodao: "I didn't tell you!"
"Lord Yi!" The soldiers on the left and right heard a female voice in the car, worried that it was an assassin, and shouted to open the curtain of the car.
"Nothing, continue marching." Yi Xiaodao stopped the soldiers.
When the soldiers heard Yi Xiaodao's instructions, they naturally retreated to both sides, but there was indispensable discussion.
"Why was the horse frightened just now? I also heard a woman's voice in Master Yi's car. What's going on?"
"I heard it too! But there are only two people in the car, Mr. Wang Xuanwang and Mr. Yi!"
"There were only two of them in the car. Master Yi's voice and the woman's voice appeared at the same time... Do you think Master Yi would be okay with that? Forcing Master Wang..."
When several soldiers heard this brother's eloquent talk, their eyes widened in unison. After thinking for a while, they all nodded in agreement.
"It's very possible!" Everyone whispered in unison.
Yi Xiaodao had already absorbed all of Feng Guangnian's internal energy and turned it into his own, and his five senses were better than those of ordinary people. Although several people spoke softly, Yi Xiaodao heard every word.
"I said... why don't Wang Xuan go down for a walk first..." Yi Xiaodao helped Wang Xuan up again and pushed him out of the car.
When the soldiers saw this scene, they were stunned for a moment, and then continued to whisper: "It turns out that Lord Yi has a hobby!"
Yi Xiaodao casually ignored the outside and asked Xiang Fuqing: "Stop being pretentious and tell me quickly. I can pick fruits for you every day from now on."
Fu looked at Yi Xiaodao intently: "Will you pick it for me for the rest of your life?"
"If you can't live for a few years, I can." Yi Xiaodao said with a smile, his emotional intelligence fully reflected...
Fu Qing was not angry, but instead laughed: "Hahahahaha, I have never met anyone who talks like you in all my travels."
"Hey, wait, you are so anxious to know where I am going, do you... care about me?" Fu Qing's mind was already on Yi Xiaodao, and now he was eager to get any expression from Yi Xiaodao.
Women are always reserved. When it comes to love, they want to hear a man take the first step.
Yi Xiaodao closed his eyes and leaned against the carriage: "Don't say pull him down."
When Fu Qing saw Yi Xiaodao's appearance, his mouth bulged and he punched Yi Xiaodao hard: "I'm so angry!" After saying that, he took out the lotus and disappeared into the carriage.
The horse was neighing just like when she came.
"Running around all day long, crazy girl..." Yi Xiaodao shook his head and crossed his arms, looking like an old man who couldn't stand the world.
Zhao Yizhi, who was far away in the palace in the capital, had already used his spiritual consciousness to spy on all this, and immediately burst into laughter: "Hahaha, if this boy can pick up girls, he will be a ghost!"
The Sichuan-Shu army was not marching quickly. More than ten days had passed and they had not even left Sichuan. Let Ge Cifeng, who had received the tip long ago, wait day and night, eager to see what happened.
"Why haven't you come yet? It's just thunder but no rain!" As night fell, Ge Cifeng turned his horse's head and returned to the camp, followed by Xu Tong and other generals.
It has been nearly four months since the soldiers and horses of Chu Xiang have been in confrontation with the imperial court. It has also been two months since Ge Cifeng personally provoked a rebellion and openly rebelled against the imperial court. Although the troops on both sides were still on alert, their morale and morale had gradually weakened.
"Your Highness, there is no way to continue like this. When we first rose up, we had great morale and conquered three important towns. But now..." Xu Tong said at the side and saw a soldier patrolling the camp walking slowly, looking like he was lagging behind. , grabbed the spear of the general beside him, and swiped the barrel of the gun on the soldier's butt.
The soldier quickly followed a few steps and quietly rubbed his buttocks. The force was so strong that it hurt him terribly. Perhaps Tong also has a sense of proportion in his actions. It is certain that the skin will be torn and the flesh will be bruised, but the muscles and bones will not be damaged.
"General Xu, do you have any suggestions?" Ge Cifeng understood what Xu Tong meant. Xu Tong's outstanding military exploits were unmatched by anyone in the army. But now that the battle of "King Qin" is approaching, many generals are gearing up to become ministers of the dragon. Xu Tong's position as the number one hero is indeed untouchable now, but in the future... it's hard to say. That's why he was so eager to take the lead and make new achievements to ensure that when King Chu Xiang ascends to the throne, he can be proud of his ministers.
Even though Ge Cifeng knew Xu Tong's inner thoughts, he didn't resent it. It would be best if all his generals wanted to take credit at this time. After taking this step, there is no turning back. If everyone fails to go all out, they will end up in an eternal disaster.
"Wancheng is an important place leading to the capital. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the river on one side. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it cannot be bypassed. The general will think that it is better to defend and wait for attack!" Xu Tong looked at Ge Cifeng with burning eyes.
"Continue." Ge Cifeng didn't understand what Xu Tong meant yet.
Seeing Ge Cifeng's interest, Xu Tong did not dare to neglect, and told all his thoughts: "The wall of Wancheng itself is not high, and those who are strong and good at climbing can climb it. Our difficulty lies in the 300,000 soldiers and horses of the imperial court. Three hundred thousand soldiers and horses are garrisoned in Wancheng. It is difficult to attack in an urgent situation, and there are mountains and rivers all around, making it difficult to supply supplies. It is better to lure Zhou Ziru out of Wancheng..."
Seeing that Ge Cifeng remained silent, Xu Tong frowned and said, "It's quite difficult to lure out all three hundred thousand."
"Why do we need to lure out all three hundred thousand? Oh, I can just lure out Zhou Ziru. Could it be that General Xu has forgotten all the special skills of the Chu Xiang Army?" Ge Cifeng deduced and thought that this plan was feasible. smiled.
Xu Tong hesitated again and again, and reminded: "If only Zhou Ziru is killed... the little emperor might send others... For example, Tang Xingchang before, who has a good command of the army, is a difficult opponent..."
Ge Cifeng sneered and said: "Those who want to cut down the feudal vassal have a great power, but Zhou Ziru is the most willing! If Zhou Ziru is killed, the little emperor will not be able to find anyone else to replace him. If generals are changed at the last moment, defeat will happen sooner or later!" "Ge Cifeng still had something to say in his heart. He believed that other than Zhou Ziru, anyone else might not be his opponent. It's just that Ge Cifeng has been confident for many years and would not blatantly say such conceited words in front of outsiders.
"Then... give up Taicheng?" Xu Tong asked Ge Cifeng tentatively what he meant.
"Give up even Sucheng! Lure them into Chuxiang territory!" Ge Cifeng said cheerfully, not caring about temporary gains and losses.
