"Mount the army." At Dawan Pass, I heard that the Shu army was planning to build a fortress at Yingyantan. Chang Sheng's face remained as usual and he said the word lightly.
His guess was not wrong. The so-called fortification outside the city was because the lame man wanted to force him out of Lizhou.
"Military advisor, is this possible fraud?" Shen Tuguan, who was on the front line, hurried back.
"Whether it's a trick or not, the enemy dares to build a wall outside the city so close to Dayuan Pass. If I don't send troops, I'm afraid those old families in Changyang will have something to say."
Shen Tu Guan sighed.
The bigger Beiyu is, the more aristocratic families there are. If there is no hearty victory, many people will eventually be dissatisfied. One can imagine how difficult the situation of the little military advisor in front of him was.
"Military advisor, I will lead the army this time!" Shen Tuguan asked for orders.
"That's not necessary. Brother Shentu needs to be at the city gate, so just let Shentu go. He is also familiar with the art of war and has some ability."
Shen Tuguan still wanted to persist, but vaguely seemed to understand something. He hesitated and did not continue to persist.
Outside Dayuan Pass, there is Eagle Eye Lake, which is more than ten miles away.
At this time, the sky was dim, and Chen Zhongzheng rushed over with his army. It looked like he was going to take advantage of the darkness to quickly cut down trees and build the city.
But after receiving the intelligence from Dayuan Pass, Shentu quickly led his troops to go on the expedition. Without any delay, he followed the order of Chang Sheng, the military advisor, and quickly reached the Eagle Eye Pond.
"Throw into fire!"
Countless fire oil cans were smashed on the walled city. Not long after, the small walled city was filled with blazing flames.
"Kill--"
The hand-to-hand combat between the two armies in the flames was about to break out. Beiyu's black armor and Xishu's white robe quickly fought together.
…
Dongfang Jing sat at the top of the city, looking at the dim firelight in the distance, feeling neither sadness nor joy.
"Long Gong, take my secret message and send it to Ye Xiao. Tell them to be more cautious and leave it in the hands of the righteous men of Lizhou to help me build momentum in Lizhou."
The Lizhou righteous man was the opportunity presented by Chen Fang. Now, this opportunity is at Dongfang Jing's disposal. To force Chang Sheng away, momentum building in Lizhou is indispensable.
But for some reason, Dongfang Jing always felt that this matter seemed to go too smoothly.
At Dawan Pass, Changsheng also stands facing the wind.
He knew that the lame man building a fort outside the city was just the first step to force him away. Next, it was time to prepare for the next step.
Even if there is a draw between the two sides, it will be regarded as "making a mistake again" as a strategist.
"Military advisor, what should we do next?" Yan Pi said at the side.
"Send an order to Shen Tu to burn the Shu army's city wall. There is no need to pursue them further, and they should immediately return to Dayuan Pass."
"But if we are invincible like this, I'm afraid that the old families in Changyang will have something to say again -" Just as he started to speak, Yan Pi suddenly thought of what the young military advisor said to him yesterday, and his voice stopped abruptly. There was a look of joy on his face.
"Invincible or undefeated?" Chang Sheng's expression was calm, "Invincible or undefeated, there is something wrong. After knowing my situation, the lame man will find a way to turn this encounter into Beiyu... at least a small defeat. "
call.
Chang Sheng let out a sigh of relief.
"It seems that I have to pack my bags and prepare to leave."
…
As Chang Sheng expected, when the information reached Changyang about three or four days later, many old aristocratic families could not sit still.
Due to Lizhou's campaign, the content in the intelligence was not that they were invincible, but that the Shu people built a fortress outside the city, and the defenders were disadvantaged in the battle. After a small defeat, they fled back to the city gate in a hurry.
"Master Gao, look at that, that little military advisor has been defeated again."
Many people from old families gathered around an old man with gray hair. The old man's name is Gao Zhou, and he is the head of the Gao family. Because he is good at using strategies, he is regarded as a wise man by many people from old aristocratic families.
This time, if Chang Sheng is dismissed from his post, he will serve as the military advisor of the three armies of Beiyu and Chongqing to fight against the lame and achieve a great victory.
Listening, Gao Zhou's squinted eyes slowly opened. With his qualifications and prestige, if he becomes Beiyu's military advisor, he will be highly regarded.
If Chang Sheng, who was in his twenties, had not been a nepotist, and if he had not been a student of Lao Zhongde, how could he have risen to the top and become a military advisor in Beiyu?
"I had expected it. His methods are immature and not sophisticated enough. He will not be able to fight against the lame man after all."
Many old aristocratic families nearby showed understanding smiles.
"Then, this time I will enter the palace again and advise the lord to immediately remove Chang Sheng, who is immature in his methods, from his position as military advisor!"
"Will the Lord agree?"
"Three times and four times, I have been victorious and suffered defeat. What a good opportunity it was before, Qianqi attacked Chuzhou. Under his leadership, two famous generals from Beiyu and an army of hundreds of thousands were unable to enter Chuzhou. , it can be seen that the reputation is really wasted."
Many people think so.
"If the lord doesn't agree, then he doesn't think about Beiyu! We will all disband and return to our fields, and we will no longer be officials in Beiyu!"
"Okay, let's put it this way and let our think tank, Military Advisor Gao Zhou, take over and kill the cripples in Western Shu, those Shu soldiers, leaving their helmets and armor behind and destroy Dingzhou!"
Amid the noise, Gao Zhou looked confident. In his opinion, lame people and dragons are just false names.
The amount of rice and salt he ate was several times that of these two people.
…
In Changyang Palace, Chang Silang frowned. First I read Chang Sheng's letter, and then I read the file I submitted.
After looking at it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"As expected of Chang Sheng." Chang Shiro breathed out, "Taking a step back, if Chang Sheng is really untalented, why would a lame person do this to force him away and replace him? It's a pity that those old family birds I don’t even understand. Well, this time... I will follow Chang Sheng’s wishes. It’s a pity that I have wronged my clan brother.”
"Master, Chang Sheng's little military advisor is obviously very powerful, isn't he?" Chang Wei was standing by and thought for a while before speaking.
"It's natural. Apart from him, I can't think of a better candidate in the whole of Beiyu. For example, this time, he and Dongfang Jing's confrontation, both of them are unparalleled in their strategies. If Gao Zhou is replaced, , I’m just afraid that I’ll be played to death by the lame man.”
Changshiro lowered his head, "But as my clan brother said, the grievances of the old aristocratic families need to be let go. If you keep holding them in, it will ruin the big thing. That Gaozhou can be used as an outlet to vent."
…
At this time, Gao Zhou, who stepped into the palace hall, still didn't understand what was going on. His eyes were full of longing, and he thought that it wouldn't be long before he, the head of a family who was good at using strategies, would defeat the lame people and Xi Shu and become famous all over the world.
