It was very quiet in the handsome tent, and everyone fell into silence. Although Ding Gu wanted to go westward and rescue Damo County, he knew that Xiang Zhuang had seen his selfishness and his eagerness to rescue Ding Hong.

, but Xiangzhuang did not say anything, which made Ding Gu a little confused. He even felt that Xiangzhuang was not eager to fight the East Vietnamese Army when he went south this time.

But the war is about to reach Zhuji County. If it falls, will Xiangzhuang still be able to sit still?

Ding Guru was thinking like this. On the side, Kong Ji finally asked after a moment of silence: "Does your Majesty have any plans?"

Xiang Zhuang had returned to his soft seat and sat down. He had just taken a sip of tea, and when Kong Ji asked about it, he had to put down his tea cup and said in a deep voice: "At present, our army hastily moved south and is not well prepared. The morale of our soldiers is

It's difficult to fight quickly when it's down, we need to observe it for a while before making a decision."

At this time, Ding Gu had already stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Why don't your Majesty garrison troops in Zhuji County so that you can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat?"

"This king has also considered that if the East Vietnamese army suddenly advances eastward and besieges Zhuji County, with only 30,000 troops and horses, will General Ding Gu prepare for a battle? Or will he defend Zhuji County?" Xiang Zhuang stared at Ding Gu and did not wait.

He replied and added: "If our army abandons Zhuji County and retreats to Shanyin at that time, it will damage morale and bring panic to the people in Jiangdong. I hope General Ding Gu can consider the overall situation."

Ding Gu also seemed to be aware of his gaffe, especially that his eagerness to advance westward had blinded his eyes, preventing him from seeing any consequences. At this time, he was reprimanded by Xiang Zhuang, and Ding Gu hurriedly gave a military salute: "Finally,

You will be convicted."

Xiang Zhuang sighed softly, stood up and came to Ding Gu, helped him up and comforted him: "I know that you are eager to rescue your nephew, but I solemnly promise here that I will not let Damo County fall to the East Vietnam."

Hand, if I don’t even have this bit of self-confidence, how can I dare to sit on the armchair in Jiangdong and order the three armies?”

"Everything is willing to obey the king's arrangements." Ding Gu saluted again. At this time, Xiang Zhuang returned to the map and said: "If we do nothing, Dongyue will underestimate me and Dongchu is incompetent. I have decided to divide our troops into three.

Roads, each with two thousand soldiers and horses, were stationed at three locations in Zhuji County, forming a divisive situation.

, to resist the East Vietnamese Army's eastward advance again." Xiang Zhuang clicked on the three locations on the map with his hand. At this time, Xiang Zhuang looked at Kong Ji again and ordered: "Tomorrow, you will announce the whole army and attack Wu Shang.

The news that the county has been lost and Damo County is trapped is being told to everyone, and I want everyone in the military camp to know about it."

After Xiang Zhuang finished speaking, he waved his hand outwards slightly tiredly: "You all, please step aside."

Everyone sang the promise and just about to leave, Xiang Zhuang pointed at Ying Liang and said: "You stay, I have something to say to you."

Ying Liang sang his promise and returned to his soft seat. At this time, everyone retreated. Only Ying Liang and Xiang Zhuang were left in the big tent. They were silent for a moment. Xiang Zhuang looked at the screen aside and sighed.

The voice said: "You... come out."

From behind the screen, Hua Yu walked out slowly, came to Xiang Zhuang's side, cupped his hands and said, "Greetings to your Majesty."

Xiang Zhuang nodded: "You can sit down too."

Hua Yu sang his promise and sat next to Ying Liang. At this time, Ying Liang looked at Hua Yu with a little surprise. After entering the account for so long, he didn't even notice that there was another person behind the screen.

Hua Yu was already waiting in the commander's account before everyone arrived. The reason why Xiang Zhuang wanted to be mysterious was that he wanted to use the tense battle ahead to stimulate the fighting spirit of the Chu people, especially after Jiangdong had been at peace for a long time and the soldiers had been living there for a long time.

Peace and happiness have long been lost

Fighting spirit, if he rushes into a battle with the East Vietnam Army rashly at this time, he is likely to be defeated. On the other hand, Xiang Zhuang did not find a good strategy to defeat the East Vietnam Army in a short term, so he gave Jun Zixiu such a mission.

Ordered him to stay at the end of the month for a month.

In fact, Xiang Zhuang has already calculated that after two defeats and suffering another wound, the East Vietnamese Army may not care about Da Mo. They may besiege Da Mo, and then the main force will move eastward, seeking to fight with him.

There is no chance of fighting, so avoiding its edge is the smartest move.

But it is not the nature of Xiangzhuang to act without planning, and the loss of Zhuji County will not do any good to Xiangzhuang. Therefore, it makes sense for Xiangzhuang to let Ding Gu station his troops on the left and right sides of Zhuji County, while the army stays in Shanyin. At this time, the only option is

Yingliang was left alone because Xiangzhuang was preparing to mobilize troops from Poyang to go south to fight for the victory over the East Vietnamese Army.

At this time, Ying Liang was still looking at Xiang Zhuang in confusion. He wanted to ask, but he didn't know what to ask. However, Xiang Zhuang had already set his sights on Hua Yu and said in a deep voice: "What do you tell General Ying Liang?"

Tell me the situation."

Hua Yu sang his promise, looked at Ying Liang and said: "General Ying, actually the front is not as bad as you think. After the East Vietnamese Army went north, they failed to capture Damo. They turned to target Wushang County. Wushang County

The few defenders were unable to withstand the powerful offensive of the East Vietnamese Army, which led to the East Vietnamese

The Vietnamese army abandoned Da Mo and marched eastward across the board. However, Da Mo was like a wedge behind the East Vietnamese Army. It penetrated deeply and became the key to victory. However, the East Vietnamese Army gave up attacking Da Mo and instead

Choosing to besiege this city is the key to our army's victory."

Ying Liang nodded slightly after hearing this, and Xiang Zhuang on the side said again: "But I need someone. Go to Zhang County to borrow two thousand troops, take a boat from She County to Zhejiang, bypass Wushang County and go straight to Damo, and join forces with Damo inside and outside.

, are you willing to go to destroy the East Vietnamese Army near Damo and block Wu Zhu’s retreat?"

Ying Liang didn't expect that Xiang Zhuang had such a hand. He stood up in a hurry, cupped his hands and said, "I will go there eventually!"

"I will ask Huayu to send scouts to follow you. Don't rush to set off after you reach She County. Wait for my order and go south along the river. The battle can be decided." Xiang Zhuang handed the token on the table to Ying Liang and then

Said: "You have been following me for a long time. I hope you can do it this time."

Successfully completed, there are not many blood left in the Ying family. I am full of hope for you winners. You also know my relationship with Xue Yue. I hope that you can become my capable general in the future, regain dignity for the winners, and let Xue Yue regain his dignity.

The moon wind and scenery enter the Dongchu Palace."

Xiang Zhuang's words made Ying Liang burst into tears of gratitude. He knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "I will never let down the king's trust."

…

It was already late at night when everything was arranged. Xiang Zhuang, accompanied by Li Yan, walked towards the sleeping tent. Teams of guards saluted after seeing Xiang Zhuang. At this time, Xiang Zhuang turned around and looked at Li Yan who was following him.

, whispered: "I will appoint you as Ding Gu's deputy general tomorrow. How to resist the East Vietnamese army's northward movement will be your biggest test. I hope you will not disappoint me."

After Li Yan heard Xiang Zhuang's words, he suddenly stopped. He thought for a moment and said in surprise: "Is the king going back these days?"

"Yes." Xiang Zhuang responded and continued to walk forward. After walking for a while, Xiang Zhuang said again: "The East Vietnam Army cannot make any big waves for the time being, but the East Chu Kingdom has just been established and its foundation is not stable. Besides,

The war is imminent, and the shortage of food and grass is my biggest worry. After I return to Wu County, I will coordinate the food and grass supply front as soon as possible. When to start the war with the East Vietnamese Army depends on whether the time is ripe."

When Xiang Zhuang said this, he stopped talking, and Li Yan stopped asking. After walking a certain distance in silence, the two came to the bed tent. Li Yan stepped forward and opened the curtain. Xiang Zhuang nodded and said softly.

He patted Li Yan on the shoulder and whispered: "Ding Gu cares about his nephew on the front line, which is why he is in chaos. No matter what happens, you must keep an eye on him for my king and don't let him easily go westward. Do you understand?"

Li Yan nodded, Xiang Zhuang lowered his head and walked into the tent.

It was very dark inside the tent. Kong Xiuyun was sitting in front of the bed fully clothed. Next to her was her maid Xiaolian. Both of them were silent. The atmosphere was very depressing. After Xiang Zhuang took off his cloak, he came to Kong Xiuyun's side and half-moved.

He hugged her and said, "It's so late, why don't you sleep?"

"I can't sleep." Kong Xiuyun sighed softly. She looked at Xiang Zhuang with confused eyes and said softly: "Although I am a female generation, I have also listened to my father's teachings that as a wife, I should not interfere in military affairs. But now that the king is here

Living in the military camp, the war with East Vietnam will start at any time, but if I come to the military camp at this time, it will definitely have a negative impact on the king. In my heart..."

Before Kong Xiuyun finished speaking, Xiang Zhuang reached out and gently blocked her lips. Kong Xiuyun instinctively closed her mouth. At this time, Xiang Zhuang's eyes wandered on Kong Xiuyun's face, and Kong Xiuyun touched it shyly.

My own face: "I...is there something wrong with me?"

"No." Xiang Zhuang said softly.

After a short silence, Xiang Zhuang said again: "I asked you to come to the military camp deliberately to show off, and also to let the East Vietnamese spies in the camp bring back a message, so that they would think that I am incompetent and only interested in beauty. In this way

, Wu Zhu will not take me to heart. Since ancient times, arrogant soldiers will be defeated. I have a fierce tiger army against the arrogant East Vietnamese army, so why worry about losing?"

"Oh, it turns out you're using me as a chess piece, and it's in vain that I worry about you." Kong Xiuyun said coquettishly, but Xiang Zhuang looked at Kong Xiuyun with a wicked smile and said, "But I do miss you."

After a pause, Xiang Zhuang continued: "In the past few months, I have always felt guilty. I broke my original promise. I wanted to make it up to you, but I know that you are a woman who has no desires and needs, so I just

I can spare time to spend more time with you, and..."

Xiang Zhuang deliberately stopped talking, and Kong Xiuyun asked in surprise: "What else?"

"Also, you must give birth to a child for me, preferably a Lin'er." After Xiang Zhuang finished speaking, he touched his hand along Kong Xiuyun's collar. On the side, Xiaolian looked at this scene with a blushing face.

She felt very sad,

It was very uncomfortable, but she had to endure the discomfort and pretended not to see it, but Kong Xiuyun saw Xiaolian's abnormality. She tried hard to break away from Xiang Zhuang and said softly: "Xiaolian is still aside, we can't

so."

Kong Xiuyun pushed Xiang Zhuang away, stood up, looked at Xiaolian, and ordered: "The king has been busy for so long, and he is probably hungry. Go and prepare some food for the king."

Xiaolian responded and left in a hurry. Looking at Xiaolian's back, Xiangzhuang shook his head helplessly, but he was already burning with desire and couldn't suppress it. When Xiaolian walked out of the sleeping tent, Xiangzhuang suddenly turned around

, picked up Kong Xiuyun, kissed her lips with his mouth, then put her on the bed, put his right hand into Kong Xiuyun's robe, and stroked her vigorously...

There was a puff of smoke, and Kong Xiuyun's sweet humming came from the handsome account...

Xiaolian was holding hot porridge in her hand, standing outside the tent, listening to the sounds inside, her face flushed and waiting, for a long, long time...
