Chapter 394: Retracting troops and seeing fog, the words are eloquent
The edge of the Huai River.
"Hedong suddenly withdrew his troops and even gave up the last three cities he occupied. Based on my understanding of His Majesty, this was definitely not his original intention!"
After Liang Shiyan received the battle report that day, he paid close attention to the war situation in the north for several days, and based on his personal connections, he tried to find out the truth about the withdrawal of troops from Hedong.
However, the more he searched and searched, the more suspicious he became, and he actually saw it in a foggy and unclear manner. In the end, he simply stopped thinking about it.
"Fuck! I'm confused too. There's no need to dig deeper into this matter. It must be a civil official from the DPRK!"
With this thought, Liang Shiyan has already made up his mind and must fight!
Once a war begins, when it comes to mobilizing the army, we must not just listen to the bureaucrats in the court, but also consider the wishes of the frontline generals, which is equivalent to being locked up.
not to mention……
"General, another news has come back. It is said that several wealthy families in Shouchun have now relented and are willing to accept guidance. The families that originally said they were going to make a fuss are now willing to stop their activities, and there are only some in the family.
A few people are unwilling to give in, but it looks like it will stop in a few days..."
Liang Shiyan frowned and asked: "You mentioned this guidance last time. Because I was worried about the situation in the north, I didn't ask carefully. What kind of guidance can you tell me now?"
The messenger told him what he knew.
Hearing things like coordinating warehouses, distributing according to work, more work, more rewards, etc., Liang Shiyan felt dizzy for a while.
"Zhao Bo, tell me!"
Following the order, the advisors under his command came out and said with a smile: "General, don't be fooled by these superficial skills, it is actually a nice saying.
"It's said to be guidance, but actually it's also a forced order. It was supposed to let each family disperse their wealth, but it was so unbelievable that even the Kuhaha people in Shouchun didn't believe it, so it caused several disturbances. Now it's almost done, let each family
They all took out some money and gathered together as a general warehouse. They distributed everything according to their work. The more they worked, the more they got.
"Understood!" Liang Shiyan slapped his thigh, "This is for my own people to handle the distribution. It's all oil and water!"
Zhao Bo praised: "The general is wise!"
"This..." The informant hesitated for a moment before saying, "My subordinates heard that this coordination warehouse is unmanned."
"Unattended? What a joke!" Liang Shiyan laughed loudly, "If you put things there without being guarded, isn't this a clear sign for people to steal, take, and rob?"
"He said..." The man smiled bitterly, "No one is on duty, but God is combing it!"
Zhao Bo said at this time: "General, although this matter is ridiculous, Chen Fangtai has really bought people's hearts. If he lets it go, he will really stabilize the people of Huaihe..."
"Sir, don't worry, I have made a decision!" Liang Shiyan put away his smile and said seriously: "Give me the order! Let's march on!"
"Here!"
After being stationed for several days, Liang Shiyan's troops collected dry food, explored the terrain, and recharged their batteries. With this order, everyone in charge took action and set foot directly on Huaidi!
As a result, not long after leaving, I noticed something was wrong.
"Why is it so quiet?" Liang Shiyan immediately summoned his lieutenant. "According to the scout report, this road leads directly to Shouchun. The terrain is open, the farmland is dense, and there are many farmers. As a result, there are no human beings along the way, not to mention insects and birds.
I can’t even hear the call, what’s going on? Let the team stop for a moment and call back all the surrounding scouts!”
"Here!"
Liang Shiyan and the soldiers didn't know that every move they made was watched by two people.
The rich old man was sitting in the clouds, with Chu Zhengdao waiting beside him.
"Master, why are you paying attention to this ordinary army?" Chu Zhengdao was a little confused, "According to Master, these people are not Chen Fangqing's opponents at all..."
The old man Fuying said: "You are too impetuous. Control your thoughts, otherwise you will be discovered by the Marquis of Linru County."
Chu Zhengdao snorted coldly.
The old man Fu Ying waved his hand and sprinkled a cloud of mist.
"As for these soldiers and horses, they are just chess pieces. What they want is to lead the cause and effect of a big man to Huai Di! The chess game has already begun, and the show is about to take place!"
He stroked his beard and smiled: "Although Chen Fangqing has extraordinary methods, he would not have expected me to have such a strange move."
Beside him, Chu Zhengdao saw his master's appearance and couldn't help but said: "I heard that Chen Fangqing is a rising star in the Central Plains Taoism. He is really so powerful. How does he compare with Nie Zhengrong?"
"Since these soldiers and horses have come in, there is no need to go out."
In the quiet room, Chen Cuo was sitting cross-legged in the air. In front of him, incense was filling the air, and the mountains, rivers, and city streets of the entire Huai region were outlined, floating in the air, like a dream.
Stars gather and scatter among them, and incense wafts out from each star, gathering on Chen Cuo, slowly giving rise to all kinds of human beings and many industry scenes.
However, in this outline, there are many stars gathered in several big cities, intertwining and changing among them.
And at the edge of the outline of this area, there is a group of incompatible black air slowly moving forward, and Liang Shiyan and others can be seen in it.
Chen Cuo's eyes fell on the soldiers and horses.
With a thought in his mind, Chen Cuo stretched out his hand to grab this wisp of black energy, and then squeezed it. The black energy exploded, and many weapons and lights appeared inside. When he opened his mouth and sucked them all in, he swallowed them all into the incarnation.
To the Bronze Man with Arms.
"The soldiers and horses of the Zhou Kingdom and the ambush method of surprise soldiers also have merits. The military skills are profound. Although I used them as a boost to manifest them into bronze figures, they are only a drop in the bucket. I have to constantly draw nourishment, eh?"
Just as he was thinking about it, his expression suddenly changed, and then he suddenly opened his palms.
I saw that black air spread again, once again outlining the outline of Liang Shiyan's soldiers and horses, but this time there was an extra layer of light...
"fog!"
Chen Cuo's expression became more solemn than ever before!
He stared at the thin layer of mist, but his heart was filled with huge waves!
"Finally, it showed up!"
Chen Cuo is no stranger to mist. Ordinary mist is naturally not uncommon, and extraordinary mist also has its own effects. Not to mention the gray mist in the dream lake, which is of great help to Chen Cuo.
But the fog that appeared at this point in time was different!
"I looked at the tributaries of the Changhe River and saw the deduction of the future. Seven times before and after, and the next few times, it was mostly related to a strange fog. Thinking about it carefully, the previous tributaries may not have been free of strange fog. It seems that I didn't pay attention to observation at the time.
, Thinking about it now, when those soldiers broke through the secret realm, they seemed to be surrounded by fog! Moreover, according to several tributary deductions, the fog mostly appeared when the north was unified, appearing from Qi and Zhou, and this time it appeared directly in Huaidi!
What’s the reason?”
With this thought in mind, he kept his feet firmly on the ground and walked out of the quiet room.
"However, the tributaries are just calculations and deductions. After all, they have not really happened. Now that they are obvious, they must be investigated clearly!"
By the time he finished speaking, he had disappeared indoors
"Compared with him, Nie Zhengrong is far behind!"
After the fog cleared up, the old man Fu Ying was talking to his disciples when his heart suddenly moved and he turned his head suddenly to see Chen Cuo's golden lotus incarnation stepping over in the air!
