"Failed?"
In the Beiyu camp, seeing the dejected Shen Chong and his general Liu Feng, Liu Chen's face became full of anger.
"Colonel Shen, tell me."
Shen Chong kowtowed his head to the ground, "The original plan was right, but later the Shu people's reconnaissance camp was alerted... The Shu people came to kill them, but they refused to retreat. We did not dare to do whatever we wanted without the orders of the two military advisors. Start a war."
"What do you mean? Alarmed the Shu people's reconnaissance camp?" Liu Chen looked cold. Such an extremely simple thing, the two people in front of them actually failed.
"Yes, yes..." Shen Chong gritted his teeth.
"Commander Liu, little military counselor Chang Sheng...please spare me this time." Liu Feng, who was beside him, suddenly turned pale with fright. "My original intention was to find out that the thief had escaped, and he used the thunderous arrows to pass the news. My colleagues nearby came together to arrest him."
"You mediocre general! There are thousands of Beiyu cavalry camps, but they still can't catch a death row prisoner? What are you going to fire?"
Liu Feng turned his head in fear and looked at Shen Chong beside him. He seemed to remember that Shen Chong at that time had a vague intention of letting him shoot the Dysprosium arrow.
"Two military advisors, I am also guilty. Please punish them severely." Shen Chong spoke with a trembling voice.
Liu Chen closed his eyes bitterly. He waved his hands, and not long after, two guards came over and dragged the sweaty Liu Feng down.
Chang Sheng also frowned and looked at Shen Chong who was still kneeling on the ground.
"Shen Chong, you have made great achievements before, why didn't you stop General Liu before?"
"A small military advisor has a great military command, and the final general is no more than a former captain. But no matter what I say this time, I am guilty of not admonishing, and I am willing to take the military stick and punish him."
Liu Chen was annoyed and expelled Shen Chong from the military tent. When the entire Zhongjun tent became quiet again, he turned his head, looking a little distressed.
"Ziyou, there is still one person who is not dead. If he enters Xishu, I'm afraid he will be taken advantage of by the lame man."
"There is no doubt about this." Chang Sheng closed his eyes, "Pingde, this fuse has been extinguished."
Liu Chen looked quite helpless. Such a simple thing could go wrong. If I had known this, I would have sent another steady person to go.
"Ziyou, what do you think?"
"When something goes wrong, there must be a monster." Chang Sheng said in a deep voice.
…
"So, you two were worshiped as Beiyu generals, and then immediately left the camp?" After Dawan Pass, Xu Mu narrowed his eyes as he looked at the rescued death row prisoners.
If it weren't for someone's help, I'm afraid this fuse would really be burned by Liu Chen.
"It is indeed... King of Shu. I didn't know anything, so I was taken out of the camp in a daze." The kneeling death row prisoner's face was pale. Fortunately, those arrows did not hit his vitals. If not, I'm afraid I'd have to confess on the spot.
Xu Mu did not answer and fell into deep thought for a moment. Instead, Dongfang Jing, who was next to him, spoke calmly.
"My lord, why don't you write a letter and let the whole world know it? Let me tell you that the generals of Beiyu rebelled against Beiyu's strategy of sabotaging the peace talks and rebelled against me in Xishu."
"Military advisor, would anyone believe these things?" Chen Zhong asked hesitantly.
"As long as two of the ten people believe it, then we are done. In this way, Beiyu will lose the opportunity, but I, Xishu, will gain time."
Listening, Xu Mu also smiled.
"That's very good. Come here, ask a military doctor to heal this Beiyu general!"
When the death row prisoner heard the sound, he kowtowed three times and bowed nine times excitedly.
"If you fail to steal the chicken, you will lose the rice. That Liu Pingde is so angry that he has a cerebral thrombosis again." Xu Mu raised his head and smiled faintly.
Beiyu Camp.
"Ziyou, I have a headache."
A few days later, when he saw Zhaowen from Xishu, Liu Chen said bitterly, "It's just like what Ziyou said. The Shu people wrote an article based on it, and it's a good article."
"Pingde, don't be anxious." Chang Sheng comforted him, and then his eyes turned serious, "To be honest with Pingde, I have already thought of the rest of the plan."
"Ziyou also knows that if we, Beiyu, start a war with Xishu earlier, the situation will be more favorable."
"Of course I know. Otherwise, I wouldn't have ordered the generals to go to the Lizhou Plain." Chang Sheng's voice was filled with murderous intent.
"Now it seems that the Shu people are trying to stall the peace talks."
"Xishu is weak. No matter how hard we hold on, we will eventually be unable to hold on."
"That's the truth. But I doubt that King Xu Shu and the lame man are waiting for something...what could it be?"
Today's Beiyu strategy has already been laid out. Moreover, according to the information sent by the iron torture platform, people from all parties in Xishu also rushed to Dayuan Pass. The one who was dormant... also sent his war horses and entered Dayuan Pass.
So, what is the lame man waiting for?
Chang Sheng fell into deep thought.
"Yan Pi, gather all the recent intelligence on Xi Shu. In addition, arrange for a confidant to do something for me tomorrow... By the way, let's take Colonel Shen Chong, who is quite courageous."
Yan Pi was a little confused, but he didn't dare to disobey and nodded immediately.
"What is Ziyou going to do?"
"Start the war."
…
For several days, the smoke of the war between the two sides became thicker and thicker in the sky of Lizhou. In Dayuan Pass, both soldiers and civilians are performing their duties and are well prepared.
Lu Feng, who had brought his war horses, rushed back to Bingzhou after a quick meeting with Xu Mu. Only when passing through Dingzhou, Yang You, the horse fortune teller who came with him, suddenly fell seriously ill, turned pale and was dying.
"Yang Xiangma, how do you feel?"
"I am old and contracted a serious disease. I may not be able to walk anymore."
Lu Feng frowned. There were a lot of things going on at the racecourse, and sending the horses this time had already delayed a lot of time.
"If not, Master Lu will go back to the racecourse first, and I will rest in Dingzhou for a few days. When I feel better, I will leave immediately to return to Bingzhou."
"Okay." Lu Feng thought for a while and nodded. He also ordered his two confidants to stay in Dingzhou and take care of him.
"By the way, sir, when I go back like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass through Guanjin without an official ultimatum."
"I almost forgot." Lu Feng smiled, "In the past two or three months, I heard that there was some kind of sheepherder who may not be dead. My lord has been in Dingzhou and is on guard."
Lu Feng untied a horse charm and handed it to Yang You. The entire Western Shu knew that he was a direct descendant of King Xu Mu of Shu. This official talisman of Ma Zhengsi probably represented many things.
"With this horse talisman, there will be no problem when you pass Guanjin. Come back early, the racecourse will miss you."
"Thank you, sir." Yang You lowered his head, his body trembling slightly for no reason.
"Just kidding." Lu Feng waved his hand and mounted his horse again, "Yang Xiangma, I'll see you later."
There will be no time limit for the future.
Yang You raised his head, his eyes becoming extremely cold again. Step by step, he finally got here.
Outside Dingbeiguan, thousands of people from Beiyu who had opened up wasteland surrendered. It was time.
