"Report to the military advisor that the Shu people are building a stronghold outside the city!"
Today, the tranquility of Dayuan Pass was suddenly pierced by a rapid military order.
The newly appointed sheepherder Xun Pingzi frowned anxiously after hearing the information. At the gate of the city, he put a lot of effort into cleaning up Gao Zhou's mess and rebuilding his morale.
But he never thought that just a few days later, at Dingdong Pass on the opposite side, not only did King Xu Shu come personally, but now he also wanted to build a stronghold outside the city.
"Building a stronghold again." Xun Pingzi lowered his gaze, his voice a little cold. Obviously, the Shu people forced him to lead his troops out of the city and destroy the walled city he had built.
But if he leaves the city at this time, he will fall into a trap. Following Gao Zhou's stupidity, Dawan Pass is now extremely passive.
"Moli." After a long time, the shepherd said in a deep voice. He knew that if this happened, the old families in the inner city would definitely be dissatisfied with him.
But there is no way, it is not appropriate to leave the city at this time.
"It doesn't make much sense to send more patrols and build a stronghold outside the city. Even if we take a step back, given the current situation at Dayuan Pass, it is inevitable. Don't fall into the Shu people's plan."
After listening to the words of the shepherd, Shen Tuguan, who was standing next to him, finally showed a relieved smile. After all, he is not like that idiot Gao Zhou, who only knows how to act recklessly. The current Dawan Pass is still mainly defensive.
"General Shentu, do you have any suggestions?" Xun Pingzi turned his head.
In the past few days, the two of them cooperated with each other and slowly stabilized their previous defeat.
"As the military advisor said, it is not appropriate to leave the city at this time. The Shu people building a stronghold is nothing more than a pretense. An inch more or an inch less buffer area outside the city is of little significance. If the guess is correct and the enemy cannot be lured, the Shu people will It will recede quickly.”
Shen Tuguan paused and frowned again, "But a lame man cannot resort to useless tactics. I guess that this time, he wants to transfer the generals and divisions away. This will cause the morale of my Dawanguan and Sanyi divisions to collapse."
The sheepherder closed his eyes and nodded, his gray hair fluttering.
"General Shentu, regarding the situation at Dayuan Pass, you and I are just trying to achieve no faults and no merits."
There is no merit and no fault, that is, to stabilize the defense and avoid war with the Shu people.
Shen Tuguan was startled, and then he smiled bitterly.
"But don't worry, General Shentu. I always feel that the little military counselor Chang Sheng will come back soon. When he comes back, it will be different."
"Military advisor, I feel the same way."
The sheepherder laughed, "Okay, then General Shentu and I will guard Dayuan Pass and wait for the return of my little military advisor from Beiyu!"
…
Beidi, Hezhou.
Chang Sheng got off the carriage, smiled at Le Qing who came to greet him, and then fell into deep thought again.
According to the plan, he needs to stay temporarily in Hezhou for a month or two. Then came the big turnaround, using Kezhou as bait to defeat Western Shu.
Unfortunately, there is another Qingfeng in Jiangnan who has a sharp eye and needs to be dealt with.
Lowering his head, Chang Sheng held all the information about Qingfeng in his hands. Not much, this person seemed to appear out of nowhere.
"You are coming back from the Western Regions. If you are from the Western Regions, you should be different from the people from the Central Plains, but he happens to be wearing a mask..."
Chang Sheng exhaled and looked to the side.
"Yan Pi, if you want to kill a smart man, what should you do?"
"Of course it's an assassination."
"No, King Xu Shu has sent secret guards to protect every important person in Western Shu as a dead soldier."
"Little strategist, do you want to seduce me?"
Chang Sheng was silent for a while, "Everyone has their own master. No matter what kind of dirty method it is, as long as it can kill, it is the best method."
"But killing Qingfeng will scare off the enemy."
"No, if the time is right, it's like killing two snakes with one stick."
Chang Sheng bowed his head again. This twenty-five-year-old world military advisor had a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. Just like last time, he also wanted to kill the lame Dongfang Jing. Unfortunately, it was not successful.
Perhaps in the eyes of future generations, his methods were extremely despicable. But again, everyone is his own master, and standing in his position, no matter what kind of means, as long as it succeeds, Beiyu can become a whale that swallows the world.
"Yu Wen was in coma, King Xu Shu went to Dingzhou, and the lame man was also in Dingzhou. Although Miao Tong was there, Qingfeng already seemed lonely. Unfortunately, there is too little information about him now. "
"Military advisor, the people who went to the Western Region have already sneaked in. It won't be long before news comes back."
"These two months are the most critical time. Send a message to Jiang Meng and ask him to make preparations and pretend to lead the army to leave Kezhou. It must be remembered that this is done at night and don't let the Shu people see it. Got a flaw."
"Leaving Kezhou? Military advisor, is it too early?"
"No, the timing is just right. If we can lure Qingfeng and use it to capture Kezhou, then we will be successful. Yan Pi, I discovered something interesting about the intelligence exchange on the iron torture platform."
"Military advisor, what's going on?"
"That Qingfeng likes to sit by the river, overlooking the direction of Kezhou. Furthermore, when the lame man was in charge, he would often change towns to guard for convenience. But Qingfeng didn't, so he stayed there all the time. Jiangcheng is opposite Kezhou. Do you think there is any connection between this? Or maybe he is thinking about conquering Kezhou? "
Yan Pi was speechless. I don't know how my little strategist analyzed it. Most of the great conspirators in the world are from Western Shu. Although there are sheepherders in Beiyu, no matter what, they are always the little strategists in front of them, fighting openly and secretly against those great conspirators in Western Shu.
"I always feel that this may be Qingfeng's flaw. Like me, I can't compete with a lame person, so I can only desperately look for flaws."
Chang Sheng half-squinted his eyes and said, "Let's do this. I'll think about the letter to Jiang Meng for a while, and then you can send your confidants to send it over. If you can lure Qingfeng, the first step of this big plan to attack Shu will be successful. "
"Excellent military advisor!"
Chang Sheng shook his head, "It's just a clumsy trick... I don't know when I turned from a little scribe who likes reading to a scheming hawk."
There are still some things that Chang Sheng did not tell Yan Pi. For example, when the time comes to mobilize the army, his brother Chang Silang will follow his request and secretly mobilize some troops from Hebei, and then hide them near Kezhou. After he returns, he can directly take charge of an army.
There is also Jiang Meng, who agreed to get the secret letter from his family brother and will become his deputy general for a long time and accompany the army on expeditions.
It’s not that I am short-sighted, but apart from Dingzhou, this direction south of the Yangtze River is indeed the best expedition route. Of course, we must put aside the shortcomings of Beiyu Navy.
He didn't want to wait. Whether it was the dissatisfaction of the old family members or Dongfang Jing's brewing plan, it made people very worried.
Beiyu needs a big victory to support this competitive stage.
He wanted to pave a road, and there was a huge boulder on the road. The boulder was Qingfeng. There is no other way but to eliminate it.
Of course, all this still requires repayment from Jiang Meng. If Qingfeng had the heart to take back Kezhou, this matter would be almost half successful.
