On the other side of Lingzhou is Kezhou.
Veteran Jiang Meng was riding on the horse, his face full of solemnity. He didn't have anything to bring with him, and he was following the strategy of his little military advisor, preparing to lure Qing Feng into the urn.
Now, according to the instructions left in the letter by my little military advisor, there is only one last step left. Even Jiang Meng, a famous general, was a little frightened by this step.
If this plan succeeds, Qingfeng will be unable to avoid it!
"Zhou Qiu!"
"The general is here!" Soon, a young general hurriedly walked up to Jiang Meng.
Jiang Meng took a breath and said, "Zhou Qiu, prepare to build the boat."
"Heaving a boat?" Zhou Qiu was shocked, "Old General, it took a lot of effort to build this, and the people from Western Shu are obstructing it in every possible way -"
"You can't take them away." Jiang Meng lowered his voice, "Since you can't take them away, you can't stay with the Shu people. So according to my wishes, all the warships were scuttled into the river! Remember, it needs to be done at night! "
"General...are you really leaving Kezhou?"
"Otherwise? In addition, if the mobilized households are unwilling to follow the migration, they must donate three loads of grain. Anyone who violates the rules will be punished by disturbing the military law!"
"Follow the general's order!" The young general quickly turned around and gave the order without hesitation.
Jiang Meng exhaled, raised his head, and looked at the scenery of Kezhou in the distance. In this round, under the strategizing of the little strategist, maybe there will be a turn for the better.
…
"The night owl, disguised as a boatman, discovered while sailing on the river bank that the people of Beiyu mobilized the people to move north. Those who did not follow had to pay three loads of rice. The army of Beiyu also began to prepare, and garrisons were stationed on all sides. They are all mobilizing in secret. In addition...the Beiyu people have been sinking nearly two hundred warships in the former dock. This information took me a lot of effort to find out. Come out. Master, the people of Beiyu are going to give up on Kezhou."
Huang Daochong rubbed his forehead.
"The terrain of Kezhou is destined to become the place of the Fourth War. But it also has disadvantages, that is, it is near the river. There are countless soldiers and all kinds of materials and food that need to be invested, but there is no such thing as the navy. Progress."
"Indeed, and even the sheepherders were transferred away before."
"Let me think about it again." Huang Daochong lowered his head, "Logically speaking, Sheepherd is in Lizhou and Changsheng is in Hezhou. Jiang Meng is good, but after all he is a soldier and is too cautious. If so, I don't believe him when he comes up with a plan... The little military advisor from the East told me to be careful and always victorious. But it's so far away, and it takes more than a month to travel back and forth with carriages, horses and letters."
Huang Daochong hesitated. Deep in his heart, he didn't want to take back Kezhou and sit in Chenshui Pass. This will create a momentum of two-way pressure on Beiyu.
But again, this will have a drawback. In the south of the Yangtze River, most of them are navy. If they go ashore, they are not considered elite. It's a pity that the current opportunity is really great.
Huang Daochong's face trembled, and he resisted the idea of going out to fight.
"Wait a moment... Be sure to pay attention to the movements of Jiang and Meng's army. It would be best if Kezhou is not fortified."
"Don't worry, Master, I'll check again immediately."
After the others had gone away, Huang Daochong sat alone by the candlelight, lowering his head in silence and looking at the map in front of him.
His family has not done enough. If the King of Shu one day proclaims himself emperor and becomes the number one general in the world, the Huang family will surely bless future generations.
It's a tough choice.
The King of Shu was unwilling to mobilize him and asked him to stay in Xiangjiang. In other words, as long as Beiyu did not go south, he would most likely have no chance to make achievements in his life.
Kezhou, Kezhou, that is the separatist land that I have spent all my efforts on. It's obviously very close.
…
Liangdi, Dingzhou.
"Letter from Jiangnan." After Xu Mu read it, he handed the letter in his hand to Dongfang Jing in front of him.
"Lao Huang said in the letter that Jiang Meng is very likely to lead his troops north and abandon Kezhou."
Xu Mu still didn't know about the ship-cutting, but from various previous signs, Jiang Meng clearly wanted to retreat.
"The sheepherders were transferred, and Jiang Meng was also transferred. Chang Laosi really doesn't want to have a water fight... But Bo Lie, I always feel that this matter is a bit unexpected."
"My lord, it's very unexpected." Dongfang Jing put down the letter, "Abandoning Kezhou, at first glance, is in the interests of Beiyu. After all, we cannot build an elite navy. If we continue to stay there, it will only be wasted. resource."
Dongfang Jing paused, "But everything needs to be looked at more profoundly. If Beiyu has a shortage of soldiers, there is nothing wrong with that. But my lord, is Beiyu now short of soldiers?"
"No shortage……"
"Since there is no shortage, and the King of Beiyu has the background of aristocratic families, even if he spends a few more years in Jiangnan, it may not shake the foundation. As for Jiang Meng, according to my opinion, he is a very important chess piece. He If we leave it in Kezhou, will the Lord cross the river and attack?"
"No way. If the navy comes ashore, Jiang Meng will immediately transform from a big rat into a ferocious tiger."
"That's it." Dongfang Jing said in a worried tone, "I can't say that he is luring the Huang Family Master to invade Kezhou."
Xu Mu paused and his face turned pale.
"In normal times, Master Huang would definitely have to think more carefully. But my lord, please don't forget, whose territory was Kezhou in the beginning?"
"Old yellow..."
"However, the state of two counties is also a place of four wars, but in the past, the Huang family leader devoted all his efforts to create a place without war. If it were not the matter of the King of Liang, he would not be willing to do it. State abandoned.”
Abandoning Kezhou was Lao Huang's wise strategy to protect himself. Of course, the plan worked.
"I don't know why, but someone seems to have seen through this. In the bottom of his heart, the Huang family leader must really want to take back Kezhou. But when people are in a hurry, they will miss the judgment——"
"Longbow!" Xu Mu stood up in shock.
Bow Dog came over quickly and cupped his hands.
"Take three fast horses and go to the south of the Yangtze River in person. Send an order to Mr. Qingfeng and tell him that no matter what, the army must not cross the river and attack Kezhou! Go quickly!"
Seeing Xu Mu's face, Gong Gou also became anxious. Without stopping, he quickly ran out.
"Bo Lie, if I had known this, I would have transferred Lao Huang here."
"My lord, don't blame yourself. The Huang family master is a man of scheming and will be cautious at this time. The most fearful thing is that this is a series of plans to lure the Huang family master in step by step. But it is strange that the person who made the plan is It can’t be Jiang Meng. Although he is brave, he is not good at cunning and cunning——"
"Lord, strategist!" At this moment, another scout on horseback rushed up outside.
"The Lizhou Night Owl's secret report, the Dawan Pass, the sheepherder Xun Pingzi has not been seen for seven or eight days, and he only came back from outside the city today!"
Xu Mu and Dongfang Jing looked at each other, both extremely frightened. As soon as I mentioned the person who made the plan, I suddenly had the information that the sheepherder had left Lizhou.
"The intelligence from the past few days said that the sheepherders were holding a military meeting at the top of the city!"
"Lord, that's a pretense, that person is pretending to be a shepherd and military advisor!"
Listening, Xu Mu's face darkened.
Except for that idiot Gao Zhou, who can be called a military advisor of Beiyu, how can he be a simple person! Now, he just hopes that the bow dog can be faster, even faster, to stop Huang Dao from pretending to be inward.
