This time, the commander of the Shanyue people was named Mi Hu. Before Kang Zhu, he was the most prestigious person in the Shanyue Twenty-Seven Tribes. However, in order to compete with Kang Zhu for the general position, Kang Zhu was defeated in the tribal war and injured an arm, so he retreated to the second line.
Now, because of Zuo Shiren's recruitment, Mi Hu saw another opportunity. As long as he helps Zuo Shiren quell the rebellion, he can take Kang Zhu's place as general.
"Mi Hu meets my lord."
After entering the Dongling main tent, Mi Hu sounded excited. After many years of waiting, I got this opportunity. Therefore, he spared no effort in using his appeal to help Zuo Shiren raise a Shanyue Army of more than 20,000 people. Although most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, they still had some momentum anyway.
"Mi Hu, I've heard of you." Sitting on the main seat, Zuo Shiren smiled, "I heard earlier that leader Mi Hu was ill. It's a pity, otherwise I, Zuo Shiren, would have to reuse you. .”
Mi Hu's expression became even more excited, "Lord, don't worry, although I, Mi Hu, have lost an arm, I will kill the enemy and lead the troops without hesitation."
Zuo Shiren was even more satisfied. Ling Su, who was beside him, also half-squinted his eyes, looking like he was expecting something.
"General Mihu, very good! This time, I want you to be the commander of the Shanyue Camp. I hope you will perform extraordinary feats and cooperate with me to defeat the lame people in Xishu. Haha, if you have done great work, I will naturally reward you. !”
Mi Hu exhaled and felt that the unhappiness of these years had suddenly disappeared.
"General Mi Hu." After Zuo Shiren finished speaking, Ling Su opened his eyes again and spoke calmly.
"This time you are taking 20,000 mountains to break camp, from the mountains near Liancheng, to bypass Liancheng. I know that this may take five or six days."
"Don't worry, strategist. I, the Shanyue people, are the most familiar with mountain and forest warfare, and there will be no problem. Furthermore, if the people from Xishu kill my Shanyue warriors, I will not avenge them, and I will not be a human being!"
"General Mi Hu is indeed heroic." Ling Su laughed.
"But you remember, after you have bypassed Liancheng, you cannot go down the mountain to attack. I guess the lame man must have taken precautions in order to protect the grain road. What you have to do is actually very simple. After bypassing Liancheng After that, relying on the advantage of the mountains and forests, we continued to harass the Shu army. If we found another way down the mountain, we would find a way to cut off the Shu people's food routes and send the Lord's news to Lidu City."
Mi Hu was a rough guy, and before he could understand clearly, Ling Su continued to speak.
"In order to cooperate with you, I will send an extra army to follow you through the mountains."
"This military advisor... how many troops does he have?"
"Ten thousand people are all elite men."
Ling Su raised his head, "The lame man wants to rely on Liancheng to delay time. But I won't let him get his wish. This time, under the chain layout, even if the lame man has ten brains, due to the deficiencies of the defenders, , and there is no other way.”
Turning around, Ling Su raised his hand towards Zuo Shiren.
"Lord, as soon as General Mi Hu comes up the mountain, we will immediately launch an siege!"
"I listen to Qi De." Zuo Shiren nodded.
As long as Liancheng is broken, Xi Shu's poisonous plan will have no effect.
Without resting, Mi Hu had just arrived at the camp and hurriedly led others to the mountains behind the camp under the cover of night, preparing to climb over the mountains.
"Leader Mihu, if we don't attack the city and fight, the military advisor wants us to climb over the mountain?" Many Yue people came over and expressed doubts.
"Don't ask, this is what the lord meant." As he said that, Mi Hu raised his head and looked at the mountains ahead. It was not difficult to climb over the mountain. He was just curious about who the 10,000 people the military advisor was talking about were.
"We'll find out when we go up the mountain." Mi Hu rubbed his head without further delay. This time, he came here for the position of general. If he really accomplished something extraordinary, he had been depressed these past few years. At this time, it would be his turn to become a general.
…
Mi Hu left in about a few hours. The sky above Liancheng began to become bright again.
Zuo Shiren put on his battle armor, and when he walked out of the camp, he secretly made a divination. When I discover that the hexagram is auspicious, I feel extremely happy.
"My lord, I'm going to take the oath."
"Zide, I'm coming."
According to the agreement, after the more than 20,000 Shanyue people in Mihu left, they would begin to attack Liancheng and contain the lame defenders.
If time is fast enough, after finding a way to defeat Liancheng, there will still be time to rendezvous with the 50,000-strong regular Shanyue Battalion, and then fight against Xi Shu together.
Zuo Shiren exhaled, straightened his shirt, pinned the golden sword on his body, and then stepped out of the military tent.
…
Dongfang Jing, who had been sitting at the top of Liancheng City, now had an extremely solemn expression on his face.
"Little strategist, the Dongling people are going to attack the city." Ma Yi was nearby, his voice a little excited. It's not because of fear, but because after holding it in for so long, I can finally have a good fight with the Dongling people and avenge the many old friends who died on the river.
"I saw it." Dongfang Jing nodded.
The army gathered in Dongling has been delayed for a long time outside Liancheng. Whether it was Zuo Shiren or Ling Su, both of them knew that if time continued to delay, it would become increasingly detrimental to Li Ducheng.
"It's finally about to begin. Yinlin, let me see what strategies you can devise during this period of time." Dongfang Jing raised his head, without any hint of nervousness in his tone.
"Liancheng has been transformed into a pass city. Except for the south gate and west gate, the other gates have been blocked. Ma Yi, this time you will lead the people to defend the city."
Ma Yi firmly clasped his fists and took the order.
In Liancheng City today, everything is in good order, whether it is the garrison supplies, the phalanx of Shu soldiers, or even the mobilized civilians.
This is the day I have been waiting for.
After Ma Yi left, Dongfang Jing turned his head and glanced at the long official road extending in the direction of the west gate. There, he also made a lot of arrangements.
He has arrangements for everything, whether it is Liancheng or near Liancheng. Unless it was said that Ling Su had come up with a world-famous plan to secretly assassinate Chen Cang under his nose.
"San'er."
Beside Dongfang Jing, a dead bodyguard hurriedly came over.
"Please do me a favor and invite Li Chengwei over."
Li Chengwei, whose original name was Li Yong, had high hopes among the people of Liancheng. Therefore, Dongfang honored him with the post of Prime Minister of Liancheng to facilitate his cooperation with the people.
"Little strategist, I'll go right away."
Dongfang Jing turned his head again and sat quietly on the city. Looking at the front of Liancheng, the Dongling phalanx began to gather one by one.
The Ling people's siege equipment, such as those ladder carts and well lanterns, had already been delivered. At first glance, they looked somewhat towering into the clouds.
If I guessed correctly, according to Yinlin's plan, the first people to attack the city should be the flesh army civilians recruited by Dongling. Previously, Dongfang Jing had reminded Ma Yi that as long as he put on armor, he would be an unyielding enemy.
"A desperate move, the Dongling Army's morale is very bad this time."
Dongfang Jing retracted his hands into his sleeves, his posture was even and straight, like a rock.
