"General Shentu, you have been disturbing my confidence. What do you mean?" Seeing Shentu Guan trying to persuade him again, Gao Zhou looked extremely dissatisfied.
"When Chang Sheng was here, you guys obeyed."
Shen Tuguan smiled faintly and said, "Before Chang Sheng's military advisor makes a plan, no matter whether it is a clever plan or not, he will discuss it with us."
"I told you, I am confident in this plan! General Shentu, you don't need to say anything more!" Gao Zhou snorted coldly and rode forward quickly. It was clear that he didn't want to listen to Shentu Guan anymore.
Shen Tu Guan remained silent for a long time, until his whole body let out a sigh of helplessness.
…
Dingdong closes.
Dongfang Jing's eyes were calm, even when facing Gao Zhou, he did not relax at all. Instead, he commanded the people in the city and prepared to defend and fight.
Of course, he could better understand that with Gao Zhou's temperament, this siege could not be a pretense.
"Military advisor, the enemy is coming!"
Dongfang Jing looked into the distance and discovered that several hidden beacon towers ten miles away from the city gate were completely lit. In this case, you will need to prepare again next time.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack -" Several scouts riding in Xishu let out loud shouts, holding torches, and kept announcing above the city wall.
Chen Zhong walked out quickly, and when he came back, his face was full of solemnity.
"Military advisor, we are less than ten miles away."
"Nothing." Dongfang Jing said calmly. Since Gao Zhou was confident, he measured the situation at Dingdongguan and defeated the Bei Chongqing army.
"Bungong Battalion, go into battle!"
At Dingdong Pass, with the shouts of each of the supporting generals, not only the infantry and bow camps, but also the reserve camps, baggage camps, stone throwing camps, and infantry combat camps were all ready.
In the past, the confrontation with Chang Sheng was not without fighting. Occasionally, there were small-scale fighting, such as in the reconnaissance camp. The two were tit for tat and each suffered losses.
It was already dark by this time.
Looking from a distance from Dingdong Pass, it is like seeing a long fire dragon, not far from the city gate, following the official road, winding and rushing towards it.
A group of trembling Beiyu envoys took the lead in riding to the city.
"Foreign envoy Yang Ran, on the orders of my family's military advisor, came here to persuade the small military advisor from the east. The two armies are fighting, and Shu is weak in the west. I also asked the small military advisor from the east. I think the soldiers are not easy to fight, and I am afraid that the people in the city will suffer, so it is better to surrender the city. Come to Beiyu and treat me as an honored guest."
"In addition, the two armies are fighting. If you don't kill the envoy, please ask the Eastern little military advisor... to show mercy."
On top of the city, Dongfang Jing smiled lightly.
Even if he enters Beiyu, he will still win regardless of whether he is the king of Beiyu. Do you dare to ask for it? If they don't dare to ask for it, they will only think that if a lame person enters Chongqing, it is nothing more than a ploy.
Furthermore, everyone in the world should have known long ago that Dongfang respects Xishu and remains committed to it.
"Don't worry, envoy, Dongfang Jing is also a reasonable person. Please pass a message for me."
"Please tell me, Little Military Advisor of the East."
"If you are too old to die, you are a thief. Old Gao Zhou can retreat quickly. If not, I, Dongfang Jing, will be angry and I will attack all the troops and kill him until he throws away his armor and urinates."
The envoy riding Beiyu was silent for a while, handed over his hands at the foot of the city, and hurried back.
"When the two armies are fighting, we must first weaken the enemy's morale." Dongfang Jing smiled, "But this Gao Zhou still doesn't understand a lame man like me. Suddenly, I miss Xiao Chang Sheng a little."
…
"How brave." Gao Zhou looked at the trembling envoy and sneered.
"Don't worry, I'm not angry. As the military advisor of the three armies, I still have the tolerance."
Gao Zhou turned around without letting go of his clenched fist, and it took a long time before he slapped the horse's back hard.
"Instruct the whole army to set up camp at Dingdong Pass tonight——"
"How to do it!" Shen Tuguan, who was nearby, frowned, "If we set up camp like this, I'm afraid the Shu people will suddenly attack and rob the camp."
"It's okay if he doesn't come. If he comes, he will stay here. General Shentu, do you really think that I am joking and don't understand the taboos of military strategists?"
Shen Tuguan was silent.
"The lame man at Dingdong Pass cannot figure out my path. He must have guessed that my move is not to attack the city. Therefore, he must not dare to act rashly. Besides, the terrain under Dingdong Pass, It’s so open that if the Shu people attack at night, they’ll be easily discovered. I can’t wait for him to come!”
Shen Tuguan sighed, knowing that he couldn't persuade him, so he could only turn around and leave.
"Gao Yong, you will serve as the patrol general tonight. Remember, this is not an inner city. You must obey my orders." After a pause, Gao Zhou continued to speak.
"Grandpa, if I make a great contribution this time——"
Gao Zhou smiled and said, "That beautiful girl from the Nangong family, I will personally take the lead and help you propose marriage. However, you are not allowed to stay overnight in the Qingguan in the future."
"Thank you, Grandpa! Don't worry, Grandpa!"
Gao Zhou nodded, raised his head again, and looked at Dingdong Pass not far ahead. A pair of cunning eyes slowly narrowed.
"The military advisor has ordered us to set up camp——"
"Don't get close to the trees, lest the Shu people throw fire and burn the entire camp!"
…
In the main tent of the West Route Army.
Shen Tuguan sat silently, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Brother, what is Gao Zhou going to do!" Beside him, clan brother Shentu said in dissatisfaction, "I am also familiar with the art of war, so making a plan like this has no effect."
"It's dark today. Tomorrow, we may be besieging the city."
"Siege the city and fight a war of attrition?"
"No." Shen Tuguan didn't know what to say. According to his considerations, although Beiyu was stronger, Xishu was also difficult to deal with. Moreover, the lame man came in person. It is said that even King Xu Shu will rush over to join him soon.
"Brother, when the lame man was in Hezhou... he was able to withstand the attack of hundreds of thousands of Beidi dogs. He is good at holding strong positions, so he may not be able to capture Dingdong Pass this time."
"It's not just him. There is Chen Zhong in the city now, but he is known as the Shield of Western Shu. In terms of good defense, he is no worse than a lame man." Shen Tuguan gritted his teeth, "Although Gao Zhou treats me I said it, but this plan is too risky. Just like people planting rice, they can only look to the sky and hope for harvest. Unfortunately, Gao Zhou is arrogant and unwilling to listen to me."
"Brother, I miss the little military advisor... Every time the little military advisor attends a military meeting, even if he is accompanying the little general who is at the bottom, he will ask questions about everything, no matter how detailed it is."
"I miss him too. Xiaojiu, you don't understand that if Beiyu wants to defeat Xishu, except for the ever-victorious little strategist, the rest cannot do it."
Such an evaluation is already very high. In the past few years as Beiyu's military advisor, Chang Sheng had not made many achievements, but with his presence, he could always stabilize Beiyu's military morale and morale.
Gao Zhou can never do this.
Outside the main tent, the sounds of patrols and Xiye kept coming.
Shen Tuguan couldn't sleep at night. He pressed his knife for a long time, waiting for any sudden change, and then immediately raised his troops to fight to protect the camp.
