"Master, the rain has stopped."
On the march, after listening to Yin Hu's words, Xu Mu raised his head and looked at the sky in silence. When the rain stops, it means that the war in Jiangnan will be reignited.
"Six Heroes, do you find it strange that after the fight, neither Liang Wang nor Tang Wuyuan has any sense of existence?"
Jia Zhou and Dongfang Jing are not here, and the only person who can discuss it now is Yin Hu. This Lizhou Eight Heroes, who is versatile in both civil and military affairs, is indeed quite good.
Of course, this does not mean that there are no other staff. But other staff members are far less effective than Yin Hu.
"That's true." Yin Hu nodded, "Previously, the helmsman was guessing that when Cangzhou was besieged, the Grain King would come to the rescue. But none of the people I sent out seemed to find anything unusual."
Xu Mu frowned. On the bank of the Kezhou River, he specially left an army of more than 30,000 people in his base camp to prevent people like the Liang King from crossing the river to rescue.
But now, this kind of thing doesn't seem to happen.
"As for Tang Wuyuan... Didn't Zuo Shiren say that he has sent troops to Baimen Gorge to intercept him? A few days ago, four thousand people including Mi Taoist disciples were also sent there, so there should be no problem. "
"I always feel like something is wrong."
There was always a strange feeling in Xu Mu's heart. Just like a hunter's sense of smell, he smells the smell of tigers and wolves.
But in the end, no trace of the tiger or wolf was found.
Until now, Xu Mu still thinks so. This war is not just as simple as besieging Cangzhou. If there was no other plan, the Demon Queen would have already left Cangzhou.
"What does the helmsman mean?"
"I want to draw him out." Xu Mu said in a cold voice. If you continue to delay, I'm afraid the Demon Queen's wish will be fulfilled.
Previously, through a spy among the refugees, Xu Mu also brought false news to the Demon Queen. Now is the best time.
"Helmsman...what should I do?"
"Fake failure."
"Fake defeat?" Yin Hu was startled.
"Zuo Shiren and the Nanhai League must not fake defeat. These two armies are now the strongest force besieging Cangzhou."
"Could it be General Yuncheng's place?"
General Yuncheng was Ma Yi who washed ashore and was used as a containment.
"No. Ma Yi's troops were led by me before. Whether it's the Demon Queen or the Food King, they will definitely be extremely careful."
"Six Heroes, I'll talk to you later. But right now, this is almost the best way. You don't know, I always feel like someone is watching us all the time, which makes my back shiver. I might as well think of a way. , let all these secrets be exposed."
Yin Hu had no objection, "No matter what the helmsman does, I will obey the helmsman."
He can be a general who charges into battle, a staff member who accompanies the army, and he can also be the leader of the secret guard. Xu Mu suddenly discovered that Yin Hu was really a talented person.
"In these two days, I will be able to make a plan." Xu Mu thought about it and spoke after counting the time.
…
"My uncle Wang has made a plan." After returning from Dingbeiguan, he didn't bother to brush off the dust from his body, and said with a smile.
In front of him, Gongsun Qi, who was sitting on the tiger-skin chair, became excited.
"Mr. Taishu, could it be that the Hu tribe agreed?"
"Agreed." Taishu Wang nodded, "However, he hopes that the Lord can provide food and grass here. In addition, he unexpectedly attacked Dingbeiguan and captured Dingzhou. He wants to separate the three counties including Dingbeiguan. ——”
"Of course I agree!" Gongsun Qi interrupted with a smile. In the heart of this filial son, the most important thing at hand is to break the situation.
The king of Yuzhou has been blocking it. In the long run, I am afraid that something bad will happen among the Hebei coalition forces. No matter what, he, as the new alliance leader, always feels that his name is not justified.
"In the opinion of the military advisor, when will we launch a surprise attack on Dingbeiguan?"
"There is no need to rush." Tai Shuwang said seriously, "My lord, please don't forget that the King of Yuzhou is not a fool. If he discovers any clues, he will definitely send troops to help. Moreover, at Dingbeiguan Pass, In Dingzhou, there are Anbian and Liangzhou nearby. These are Xu Buyi's forces. If our army fails to attack by surprise, in a few days at most, there will be a huge army gathering at Dingbeiguan to block it. .”
"I estimate..." Taishu Wang thought for a while, "If we can't attack Dingbeiguan in three days, then this strategy is basically useless."
"Three days? This time is too tight. Moreover, we have to hide it from the King of Yuzhou."
"Don't be anxious, deal with the King of Yuzhou first. I already have a way. All you need to do is use a feint attack and contain the Yuzhou army within six days, and you'll be done."
"Sir, your calculation is wrong." Gongsun Qi suddenly laughed.
Taishu Wang was startled, "What's wrong?"
"Mr. Taishu, at first he said three days, but later he said six days."
idiot.
Tai Shuwang held back his disdain and slowly explained to the filial son Gongsun in front of him.
"My lord, you must know that three days are the time for the surprise attack on Dingbeiguan, and the extra three days are the time it takes for our Hebei coalition forces to rush out of Dingbeiguan. So, there are six days in total."
Gongsun Qi suddenly realized.
"In six days, I will be here in Hebei and send out a feint army. As long as I can delay the king of Yuzhou, great things can be expected."
This sentence is undoubtedly repeated.
But Tai Shuwang was really worried that the filial son in front of him wouldn't understand.
Suddenly, he felt that the dwarf prince Sunzu was indeed a bit pitiful. She gave birth to children like a dog, and even helped count the money after being sold.
"Then military advisor...do I need to go to Dingbeiguan?"
"We are going." Taishu Wang smiled lightly, "My lord, conquering the army himself will definitely boost morale."
In fact, the real reason is that the Hebei Allied Forces gave up the land of Hebei and chose to attack Dingbeiguan and enter the Central Plains from another way.
In this way, the troops in Hebei are empty. With the infallible skills of the King of Yuzhou and that man, it will not take long for them to find out the clues and then take advantage of the situation to occupy.
But now, he doesn't want Gongsun Qi to die. With this fool as the alliance leader, on the surface, at least it is still a separatist force in the Central Plains. If one day they enter the inner city, those so-called righteous men from the Central Plains may not be too extreme.
Of course, if Cangzhou loses. Once the world knows what kind of sacred deer and eagles are chasing the Central Plains together, this matter will be meaningless. By then, it would be easy for Gongsun Qi to die.
"Military advisor, I have been familiar with the art of war since I was a child, and I am considered a talented general. There is no harm in going on a personal expedition. My grandson Qi will conquer Dingbei Pass and become famous all over the world."
"My lord has to fight his way into the inner city and occupy Changyang. At that time, he can legitimately proclaim himself emperor." Taishu Wang echoed.
"Haha, okay! After the military advisor has decided on the strategy, he will inform you. I will immediately lead the troops to go on an expedition and rush to the outside of Dingbei Pass."
"Very good, my lord is wise."
Turning around, Taishuwang stepped forward calmly and slowly.
