Before Liancheng.
After several feints and tests, Lingsu still stabilized even though he was trying to gain time. He knew that if he attacked rashly, he would only fall into the lame man's trap.
"Qi De, please tell me quickly." On the contrary, Zuo Shiren was a little anxious, "You also said it. If it is later, Xu Buyi will come from the other side of the river to kill... Our navy in Dongling has been completely wiped out. , what can we do to stop it when the time comes?"
Lingsu didn't know. But in the current situation, it is clear that it is time to fight against the odds. The entire naval force was wiped out, and even without fifty thousand troops to break out of the camp, Dongling's troops could not stop it either.
If possible, he hoped that Zuo Shiren could make peace with Xishu here. But it seems impossible. That Xu Buyi is not a fool. The strategy of swallowing Dongling has caused both sides to fight to the death.
After exhaling a breath, Ling Su said calmly.
"My lord, don't be anxious. Under Liancheng, looking forward and backward is of no use. As long as we capture the opportunity we are waiting for, everything will turn around."
It is of little significance to return to the Three Prefectures of Tangling to forcibly defend.
After hesitating for a moment, Ling Su continued, "My lord, my secret guard has a report. On the other side of the South China Sea, Zhao Di, the king of Jiaozhou, has led an army and is preparing to enter Cangzhou to aid Western Shu."
"This-" Zuo Shiren frowned.
The South China Sea Alliance, which was the first to win over, also invested in Xishu. That damn feeling of betrayal and separation suddenly became clear again.
"Don't be anxious." Ling Su remained calm, "If the South China Sea Alliance comes to Cangzhou, it must pass through Chuzhou. Along the way, I have already arranged a lot of backup. If the South China Sea League does not come to Cangzhou, I will only help Xu Buyi captures Dongling, which gives us a greater chance."
Ling Su's face showed the madness of a gambler.
"Although we are mercilessly suppressed by the King of Yuzhou in the inner city. But don't worry, my lord, my King of Grain's army is not just men and horses on the surface."
"What do you mean by Zide, you still have an army secretly?"
Ling Su smiled and said, "There is no need to doubt the background of these worlds that have existed for thousands of years. When the critical moment comes, the lord will know it."
Instead of answering honestly, Ling Su let it slip intentionally or unintentionally.
Although he was a little dissatisfied, Zuo Shiren hesitated and did not pursue the question.
"Lord, how is the situation at Shanyue Camp?"
As soon as this incident was mentioned, Zuo Shiren's face gradually showed an unbearable look.
"I, Zuo Shiren, first used civilians as an army, and now... I have to use the old and weak of Shanyue. I feel extremely uncomfortable in my heart."
After crying a few times, Zuo Shiren's voice became serious.
"According to Qi De's method, it has had miraculous effects. Qi De, let me tell you, these Shanyue people who want revenge have gathered in a mighty force, and there are already more than 30,000 people!"
Listening, Ling Su smiled with satisfaction. He doesn't care about the old or the weak. In this battle, he really needs a team of people to help attack Liancheng.
"In addition, in the three states of Dongling, the method is still the same. All the causes of war will be placed on the side of Xishu. When the time comes, if Xishu really enters the mausoleum, the people will definitely obstruct it in every possible way. Damn Xu Buyi If you want to follow the path of the people, in order to rule Dongling in the future, you will definitely not kill the people too much. As long as this arrangement can slow down Xu Buyi, that will be enough."
"Xu Buyi's men and horses in Kezhou are very few. When the time comes, we can use the troops to defend the city and the people of Dongling will stop us. We can delay the attack for a long time."
"As for the aristocratic families in Dongling, they can temporarily move to the Chuzhou border area. After the war, these aristocratic families are the confidence for Dongling to regroup."
"The Dongling family doesn't like it, and the people don't like it either. I want to see how Xu Buyi can solve it quickly."
Zuo Shiren was silent and didn't speak for a while.
He only felt that his eyes were in a trance, as if he was slowly seeing that in front of him, the entire Dongling Three Prefectures had become riddled with holes.
…
Tread.
At this time, on the forest road near Lingzhou Official Road, a group of people and horses, like long snakes, were rushing forward angrily.
Most of these people are old and weak, and among them there are also many young people who have just grown up. Each person has a wooden bow on his back and a machete slung under his waist.
"King Ling said that there is a battle with the Shu people ahead. Please hurry back to the tribe." Several of Zuo Shiren's cronies kept shouting on their horses.
"We are also very sad that General Kang Zhu was killed by the Shu people... Now, these Shu dogs are going to besiege the 50,000 Shanyue Erlangs in Lidu City. But the lord has said that he and the 27 Shanyue tribes are brothers and sisters—— "
"King Zuo Renyi!" Before these cronies could finish speaking, a leader-like man in the Shanyue Camp rushed to the front line and spoke angrily.
"The people of Shu have bullied me too much, and King Zuo is in danger again. How can we not save him!"
The few horsemen and cronies who were shouting felt secretly happy when they saw the Shanyue people's attitude. Although most of the 30,000 Shanyue people in the vast army are old and weak, no matter what, the Shanyue people have lived in the mountains and forests for a long time and are extremely fierce. They can be used to fight a tough battle.
"Let's go to Shu to be in trouble!"
"I can't persuade you all, I'll send you off to this hero——"
A few of the horsemen's confidants handed over their hands, then hurriedly got back on their horses. Following Zuo Shiren's secret message, they began to go to Lingwu Prefecture to fulfill the next secret order.
They still framed the Shu people and mobilized the people of the three states of Dongling to stop the Shu people.
I couldn't explain why, but this secret order made several people feel a little uncomfortable. First, the meat army and Shanyue were old and weak, but now, even the people of Dongling are about to be mobilized.
…
On the river surface, Xu Mu's navy troops were not many. Including the more than 10,000 people who rushed to Donglai to aid Donglai and the Xiaer Rebel Army, now there are only more than 8,000 people left.
Even the warships were captured at Dongling Dockyard south of Kezhou.
He had heard that in order to block Kang Zhu, the 30,000 naval troops of Xishu almost fought their way through. This time, if there is no way to capture Dongling, they will have no choice but to retreat to Xishu in a hurry. And Zuo Shiren will also have time to breathe.
Since we are fighting tigers and wolves, if we let them lick their wounds, I'm afraid they will become even more vicious in the future.
"Helmsman, these are the only people we have... If not, give me some time and I will try to win over some more rebels." In the cabin, Shangguan Shu, who was seriously injured and lying on the bed, hurriedly spoke seriously.
Xu Mu shook his head. If Shangguan Shu tried to win over the rebels, he would only be able to recruit thousands of people, and it would also waste too much time.
Now that Dongfang Jing's plan has been decided, it's too late. Be sure to take advantage of this opportunity, when Dongling's defense is at its weakest, to pierce the heart of the entire Dongling like a dagger.
Furthermore, it is not that there are no reinforcements.
Lu Xiong's people and friendly forces from the South China Sea Alliance. After fighting step by step, Dongling was forced to this point. It was the best opportunity to take action.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Dongfang Jing needs to block the 100,000 troops pulled up by Zuo Shiren. If Liancheng is broken and the siege of Lidu City is solved, then the entire layout of Xishu will fall into a complete defeat.
He believed in Dongfang Jing just as Dongfang Jing believed in his lord.
Bolie, come on.
