"Everyone, rush to Danghu City!"
The boy next door has just grown up, and now little Meng Huo has become even more muscular. At this time, following the orders of the small military advisor, he led the 10,000-strong Pingman camp, stopped patrolling the mountains and forests, and marched to Danghu City.
Danghu City is opposite Lidu City. It was just a small town before, but with the efforts of Dongfang Jing and Yu Wen, it was continuously repaired and expanded, and turned into a big city, guarding the Dongling Army in Lidu City.
In other words, under the current situation, once Hucheng is defeated, Li Ducheng's Dongling army will invade Western Shu.
Yu Wen, who had retreated, stood on the city gate with a look of fighting intent on his face. Even if the Pingman camp is included, there are only more than 10,000 people.
In Li Du City, there were not only more than 50,000 plain barbarian camps, but also Dongling soldiers and county soldiers, there were 60,000 to 70,000 troops.
But on the defensive, Yu Wen was also confident.
"Send an order to the civilian men in the rear to immediately transport supplies and food and repair the city gates! If the Aventurine Dog dares to invade, he will never come back!"
Li Du City.
Kang Shuo had been a little anxious these past two days. He discovered something. The Shu army restrained under the city retreated for some reason.
Yesterday, another dead soldier returned to the city and found a lot of things. Half of Cangzhou in Western Shu was urgently deploying troops and mobilizing civilians. I heard that from the direction of the river, the navy of the Shu people is about to arrive.
But it happened that there was no intention of attacking Lidu City.
Kang Shuo couldn't figure it out. He asked several staff members accompanying the army before finally getting an answer.
That lame man probably... wants to turn Lidu City into an isolated city! Trapped to death in Cangzhou!
"Has my brother returned to the mausoleum?" Kang Shuo took a breath. If he just defends the city, he will not be afraid. But now, the battle is getting a little bigger.
He was a little worried and couldn't control himself.
"General, after seven or eight days, you should be back."
"On the 7th or 8th, if I keep my feet on the ground, I should rush back to Lidu City. But my brother hasn't come back yet. Things are not simple anymore."
Standing on the huge Lidu City, Kang Shuo felt cold all over. The strategy left behind by his brother Kang Zhu has no meaning in front of the lame man.
Furthermore, on the official road at the rear, it had been a long time since I saw a baggage truck. Originally, baggage would arrive from behind every few days.
"The food and grass in the city can still last for February and March."
"What about after two or three months?" Kang Shuo gritted his teeth, "This damn lame man knew that Lidu City was easy to defend but difficult to attack, so he changed his approach."
"General, if we include the Shanyue camp, we will have at least 60,000 to 70,000 troops. Why should we be afraid? Why not, we can make a surprise attack on Xi Shu while the food and grass are still abundant!" The staff thought for a while and calmly advised. admonish.
"If the loss of food and grass is too great, we will be forced to be trapped in the city."
"I'll think about it again..." Kang Shuo frowned, "As you know, when my brother left, he gave me an order to defend Lidu City. My brother is a famous general in the world, and he will definitely make no mistakes."
"But general, we have to gauge the situation. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and General Kang Zhu is not here."
Kang Shuo hesitated and ultimately did not give the order.
"Don't be anxious, I have a plan in mind. I will observe for a few more days. If the Shu people are brave, they will try to attack Lidu City."
The chief of staff sighed, knowing that he could not persuade him, so he had no choice but to give up. When marching and fighting, it may not be a good thing for someone who is too stubborn and cautious.
…
"The trick of a soldier is a great good strategy." Dongfang Jing sat on the lotus city, overlooking the rivers and mountains outside the city.
"If it had been Kang Zhuzai, I'm afraid he would have led his army out of the city at this time, waiting for an opportunity to defeat our army. There is no chance that he would have allowed me to take 30,000 people and occupy Liancheng in a roundabout way."
Raising his head, Dongfang Jing stopped speaking and thought about his next plan.
A general came to the top of the city.
"Little military advisor, someone from General Yu has already arrived, saying that the area near Li Du City is ready. The Pingman Camp has also entered Danghu City."
"Very good." Dongfang Jing nodded, "If your guess is correct, it is most likely General Kang Zhu who saved the people of Li Ducheng this time. Except for him, it seems that no one else is qualified."
Dongfang Jing stopped speaking, thought for a moment and spoke again.
"I'm still worried after all. You send an order to General Yu Wen on my behalf, asking him to spread the news around Lidu City that 100,000 Shu troops have entered Cangzhou. Do it more realistically, so that the general guarding Lidu City will not Dare to leave the city easily."
"Don't worry, little military advisor."
Dongfang Jing rubbed his brows and said, "On the river, General Dou Tong's navy should also be here. If you follow my words, Kang Zhu will fight to the death no matter whether he chooses the land or water route. This time he comes here to fight to the death. Dongling I can’t afford to lose anymore.”
According to the plan, it will take at least until Lidu City's food and grass are exhausted, which may last more than March or April. If there is no stable supply of food and grass, chaos will inevitably occur in the long run.
"it's time."
"Send someone to find the lord. You can inform the lord and send a message to the world. Zuo Shiren, the king of Dongling, is resorting to military violence, leading wolves into the house, and neglecting the people. It is a false name. I, the righteous leader of the world in Western Shu, will declare to the world that I am incompatible with Dongling and should act for heaven. An act of justice!"
…
Kezhou's long river bank.
Xu Mu and Yuan Chong stood side by side, reading together the proclamation of the world, and crusade against Zuo Shiren, the king of Wudao Ling.
As the newly appointed King of Donglai, Yuan Chong became extremely excited after Laozi's death. Following the call of his father, he will work with Xi Shu to kill Zuo Shiren.
Of course, he's not stupid either. I know that this so-called statement to the world is nothing more than a cover to attack cities and seize territory. In war, he was willing to obey Xi Shu's orders.
"What does the King of Shu mean by asking me to patrol the Kezhou area to be on guard against the Dongling people?"
"Exactly, to be honest with Little Prince Yuan, this will be a protracted battle."
Yuan Chong didn't understand, and when he wanted to ask again, he was stopped by Shen Tuguan next to him. Shentu Guan knew very well that this so-called crusade was just a trick of Xi Shu, aiming at appeasement after the war and Donglai's non-renegade.
"Does the King of Shu need reinforcements?"
"There are already reinforcements. Just after the battle of Donglai, it would be better for Prince Yuan to rectify the county administration."
The implication is that I, Xishu, can eat as much as you want, and you can just yell at me from the side.
Shen Tuguan pulled Yuan Chong in silence. Under this situation, it is necessary to continue to form an alliance with Xishu.
As for the reinforcements Xu Mu said, he could also guess a thing or two. If there is no mistake, it should be someone from the south.
…
"The world is crying, but King Zuo has no way. We, the five states in the South China Sea, are willing to join forces with Western Shu to conquer Dongling!" Zhao Di, wearing golden armor, stood on the oath-taking platform in front of Jiaozhou City, raised his head and spoke.
He was very happy that he finally made this decision. Instead of following the opinions of people like Deng Yu at the beginning, he rashly went to Dongling.
If not, the South China Sea Alliance at this time would suffer along with Dongling.
"Mount the army! 20,000 Nanhai soldiers and 20,000 Haiyue people, a total of 40,000 people, attack the Chuzhou border!"
The South China Sea is not connected to Cangzhou. According to the letter of the little military advisor of Western Shu, the returning reinforcements of Dongling King Zuo Shiren would not dare to move on land.
