"Captain Shen, the little military advisor has sent you a message to check in." In the Beiyu camp, Shen Chong heard the order, but did not respond and only nodded silently.
"By the way, the military advisor of Colonel Shen's battalion has said that it has urgent matters for the time being and will be transferred to patrol outside the camp."
"Don't I want to go?" Shen Chong hesitated, his voice trembling.
"Don't go, you can join me in the account now."
"Wait a moment." Shen Chong turned his face and his expression became cold. When the troops were being mobilized, it was reported that he was in the account again. No matter how you looked at it, things were not simple anymore.
He was very suspicious that his identity had been exposed.
Chinese military tent.
"Ziyou, how did you figure it out?" At this time, Liu Chen looked surprised in the Beiyu Middle Military Tent. Previously, he had not doubted Shen Chong.
"Things went so well." Chang Sheng frowned, "The two generals went together. When they came back, he seemed to have no fault at all and could always brush it off. That's why I said that if something goes wrong, it must be There is a demon.”
Liu Chen was stunned for a moment, with a look of regret on his face.
"When Ziyou said this, I suddenly realized that Shen Chong was a little unusual this time."
"Pingde's thoughts are on the big plan. I can only do such small things for him."
Liu Chen breathed out, "Ziyou, what if you guessed wrong?"
"It's okay, but he has something evil in his mind. Seeing this look, he must think that a disaster is coming." Chang Sheng narrowed his eyes, "It would be best if the bet is right. In this case, Shen Chong will be said to be a spy from Shu. He sneaked into our Beiyu camp and stole the secrets, and then made it known to the world that Xishu was the first to break the rules of the peace talks."
Listening, Liu Chen's eyes lit up.
Not long after, Yan Pi outside the tent hurriedly walked in.
"Two military advisors, something bad happened. Shen Chong led dozens of personal guards and suddenly took his horses and ran out of the camp! For some reason, the defense of the camp over there was suddenly relaxed."
"I asked someone to remove the sentry." Chang Sheng's expression remained unchanged.
"Little military advisor, this..."
Chang Sheng said calmly, "Send someone to chase him for a round. When he enters Dayuan Pass, send someone back."
"Little military advisor, why don't we pursue the army and kill this thief!" Yan Pi was still puzzled.
"Wrong, let him go back to Dayuan Pass. Then this fuse has already been burned. Moreover, whether it is the old family in Beiyu or the people, they will think that it is the Shu people who are making peace and talking about morality. At present, let him go It doesn’t matter if there is a thief.”
…
In the night, Shen Chong looked anxious. Among the more than thirty personal guards accompanying him, a dozen more rebelled along the way. In addition to the dead and wounded, only the last seven or eight cavalry were left, following closely behind him.
He also wondered why there were so few patrols in Beiyu along this way. But at this time, he could no longer think too much. Shen Chong gritted his teeth and fled in the direction of Dawan Pass. Perhaps the speed was too fast, and the pursuers behind him were pulled further and further away.
In Dawan Pass, Xu Mu and Dongfang Jing frowned for a moment when they heard the scout's report.
"Shen Chong has been exposed. When I went to Sizhou before, I finally used many methods to instigate him to rebel." Xu Mu half-squinted his eyes.
Shen Chong had made a great contribution to putting out the fire earlier. Unfortunately, it didn't take long before it was suddenly exposed.
"Maybe Chang Sheng's side has already seen the flaw. But I'm a little surprised how Shen Chong, with less than ten people, can break out of Beiyu's siege."
Dongfang Jing, who was nearby, thought for a while and then closed his eyes.
"It's not Shen Chong who came out, but Chang Sheng did it intentionally. Letting Shen Chong go, our reputation as a ruiner of peace talks in Western Shu is basically confirmed."
"What does Bo Lie mean?"
Dongfang Jing sighed and said, "My lord, you should know that Shen Chong used to be a captain in Beiyu. Now he has fled into Dayuan Pass to avoid disaster. No matter who comes to see it, he can't escape from our relationship with Xishu. But Shen Chong is outside the pass. ...My lord has no choice but to let him in, otherwise, he will break the hearts of many guests from Western Sichuan."
"Victory is not easy. Next, we, Xi Shu, lose this opportunity, and a war is inevitable."
After hearing this, Xu Mu's expression also became silent for a moment.
As Dongfang Jing said, no matter what, he could not ignore Shen Chong, who had made great contributions to Xi Shu.
"Chen Zhong, have someone open the city gate and welcome Captain Shen to enter."
At this time, it was almost dawn. I had been running all night without stopping, and my face was full of exhaustion. He stood at the foot of Dawan Pass, his face full of anxiety.
He didn't know what fate awaited him. After all, he is not considered a Shu general now. Instead, he betrayed Beiyu first and is in a dilemma.
He was thinking about what he would do if the Shu people did not open the city gates and he betrayed the generals as a guest.
Rumble——
At this moment, the city gate slowly opened, and he saw a familiar figure in the crack of the door under the morning light. It was this figure that made him, a seven-foot tall man, suddenly have red eyes.
"Shen Chong... pays homage to the King of Shu."
The person behind the door is Xu Mu. Although he heard Dongfang Jing's analysis, no matter what, he did not refuse Shen Chong into the city.
"Get up, you have worked hard all the way." After walking out of the city, Xu Mu smiled and helped Shen Chong up from his knees.
With his constant victorious ability, he could avoid burning the fuse of this battle several times, but at this time, if he chilled the heart of a loyal and righteous man, it would be more of a loss than a gain.
"Colonel Shen, from now on, you will stay under my king's command and serve as a general. If you can win military honors in the future, you will be promoted."
"Thank you so much, King Shu!" Shen Chong burst into tears. The worries of the night slowly disappeared into nothing.
"Shen Chong, it's time to call me lord."
Shen Chong raised his head and clasped his fists seriously again, "Shen Chong pays homage to the lord, and is willing to serve Xi Shu from now on, no ambiguity!"
"Okay! Please follow me into the city!"
On the top of the city of Dayuan Pass, Dongfang Jing stared into the distance. He knew that after Shen Chong's incident, the war between Xishu and Beiyu had already started.
"General Chen Zhong, from now on, we will be in seclusion and take strict precautions. We will send more Shu cavalry to find out the intelligence of the people in Beiyu."
"Don't worry, little military advisor." Chen Zhong clasped his fists, his face full of fighting spirit.
…
"Western Shu is unkind and ruined the peace talks between the two countries. We, Beiyu, are sending out troops to attack Shu for the sake of morality!" Chang Sheng's voice sounded in the Chinese military tent.
This war is finally going to break out. And fortunately, neither the old families nor the people in Beiyu had many complaints.
After this round of military discussions, he was leaving Sizhou. It was not that he was going to Lizhou to start a war, but that he had other important matters. Just as he had discussed with Liu Chen before, this time he wanted to make a hook to hook the decisive battle between Beiyu and Xishu to the mountains of Sizhou.
He understood very well that the Shu people, who did not want to start a war yet, would definitely focus on defense as their first plan. But he didn't want to drag out this kind of battle.
Everyone knows that he likes surprise attacks the most.
So this time, let’s have another “surprise attack”.
