In the city guard's mansion, a soldier rushed into the lobby and shouted, "General, there is something strange happening to the enemy soldiers!"
After hearing the report, a general with a majestic figure and a height of seven feet turned his head and frowned at his soldiers.
There is no vulgarity or frankness in his face. Instead, you can see a trace of calmness and caution in his eyes.
This person is the city guard of Taocheng, Mu Feizhang, a fourth-rank general of the Liukang Dynasty. He has a cautious and steady temperament, and is quite talented in both literature and martial arts. He is one of the eight disciples of Zhao Liangyan.
"Seriously?" Mu Feizhang asked with a frown.
The soldier nodded quickly, "Indeed!"
"Let's go and have a look!" After Mu Feizhang said that, he took the lead and walked out of the hall.
Many generals who were in the hall discussing the war with Mu Feizhang stood up one after another, followed them out of the city guard's mansion, and rushed towards the city wall.
After riding fast for a while, the generals arrived at the west city wall.
I heard from the soldiers that the enemy soldiers in this direction have made strange movements.
After reaching the top of the city, Mu Feizhang squinted his eyes and saw that the enemy soldiers five miles away had abandoned their camp and left, not knowing where they were going.
The generals were puzzled, and someone asked, "General, it looks like the enemy soldiers are about to retreat. Should we go out of the city to pursue them?"
Mu Feizhang shook his head, "No, although the enemy soldiers are retreating, they are well-organized and difficult to defeat. If we leave the city, we will most likely play into the enemy's hands!"
"Go and see what the situation is like in other directions!"
After hearing Mu Feizhang's order, many soldiers quickly ran towards the distance, heading to the three directions of southeast, north and south to investigate the situation.
Not long after, three soldiers returned and reported quickly, "General, the enemy soldiers in the east have made no move!"
"General, the enemy soldiers in the north have not moved at all!"
"The enemy soldiers in the south are also motionless!"
After hearing this, Mu Feizhang was slightly puzzled and couldn't help but ponder, guessing what the enemy soldiers' purpose was for doing this.
A general asked, "The city must be besieged. Could it be that the enemy soldiers want to attack by force?"
"Impossible, Mu Haorang is not good at attacking cities. What's more, this man is not stupid. He must know that if he attacks the city, his soldiers will suffer heavy casualties!" Another general shook his head and said.
"Indeed, Mu Haorang led his troops to attack five times more than ten days ago, but to no avail, so he turned to siege the city. It is impossible for him to do another useless effort."
Mu Feizhang also feels that the opponent will not launch a strong attack, but what the situation will be will be known later.
At this time, a black-bearded general suddenly said, "General, there is a grain road on the west side. If nothing unexpected happens, it must be a passage for Linzhan to transport grain to the Qin Yi tribe. If we cut off this road..." p>
When many generals heard this, their hearts suddenly became hot.
If the grain road is cut off, it is very likely that the troops of Qin Yi will collapse without attacking!
The glory and morale boost brought by defeating the famous Linzhan general are unimaginable!
Thinking of this, everyone became more and more excited. They were about to recommend themselves and take the credit for this great achievement, but they heard Mu Feizhang's voice.
"No, the enemy soldiers are besieging the south, south, north, and south, and only letting go of the west side. Obviously, they want to use the food road to seduce us and make us fall into the trap!" Mu Feizhang said decisively.
Everyone was stunned, and in an instant, someone understood.
Indeed, although the enemy general is Mu Haorang, he is likely to ask Ji Qin Yi, whose strategy is something few can match.
Maybe, this strange movement of the enemy soldiers is an obvious conspiracy!
The black-bearded general advised, "General, this is an opportunity, don't let it go, there's no harm in giving it a try!"
Mu Feizhang frowned and said, "How do you know what the enemy soldiers are planning? Today, every soldier is extremely important in defending the city. You can't take any chances!"
Someone echoed, "Indeed, it took more than ten days for the enemy soldiers to make such a change. Maybe this strategy was devised by Qin Yi. This man has a strong ability to predict. At this moment, he may be leading his men in a certain
You are always waiting for us to rob you of food, you must not fall into the trap!"
When the black-bearded general heard this, he could only remain silent.
Mu Feizhang looked outside the city, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Qin Yi, Qin Yi, you are a famous general in vain. Such a scheme is so despicable that I can easily detect it!
No matter how clever you are, as long as I can't stand it, what can you do to me?
……
Liukang Dynasty, Kangdu.
It was noon in a tavern in the west of the city, and it could be said that it was full of people and extremely lively.
Everyone was chatting, talking about the recent war situation, "Qin Yi, that fellow, is indeed quite famous. He was able to conquer three cities in a row. I was so scared that my heart was pounding, thinking that the tragic situation in the previous country would happen in this dynasty!" p>
"What a fart, this guy only had three minutes of ability. Look, he stopped after one day. He stayed outside Tianyao City for more than ten days and couldn't make any progress!"
"Indeed, this dynasty is by no means the previous country. If Qin Yi wants to conquer it easily, it can only be said to be a fool's dream!"
"Although Qin Yi is a famous general, he is very capable in field battles. When encountering a fortified city, is he still helpless?"
"Not only was he helpless, he also made a wrong step and exposed a flaw. You may not know that Taocheng City Shou had a chance to defeat Qin Yi, but he secretly let it go!"
When everyone heard this, they were shocked and quickly looked at the speaker. He was a lean man with a yellowish complexion.
Someone said urgently, "Please tell me in detail!"
"What's going on? Tell everyone quickly!"
Seeing everyone looking over, the lean man stroked his long beard, feeling quite proud, and then said seriously, "A few days ago, the enemy soldiers who besieged Tao City suddenly let go of the west wall, and not far from the west side
, is the food transport channel for Qin Yi's troops. Everyone must know that cutting off food channels is an excellent way. Many generals in history relied on this method to defeat enemy soldiers, but guess what?"
Someone answered in surprise, "Didn't Taocheng City Guards send troops?"
"Exactly!" The lean man nodded, "Many of his generals requested to send troops, but the defenders of Tao City refused, and said that whoever dares to send troops will be severely punished!"
Everyone was shocked, and some people asked doubtfully, "Why is he like this?"
The lean man looked around, as if he was worried that the wall had ears.
Someone immediately said, "Don't worry, everyone is listening in one ear and out the other. After listening, they will never spread it everywhere!"
After hearing this, the lean man lowered his voice and said, "Nine times out of ten, what I say next is true. Don't spread it out to avoid being implicated!"
After saying that, the lean man looked around again, and then continued, "I heard that Mu Feizhang, the guardian of Tao City, is one of the eight disciples of Prime Minister Zhao. Everyone must know that now His Majesty is obsessed with fighting.
Destroy Prime Minister Zhao and regain power."
"If Prime Minister Zhao collapses, this Mu Feizhang will definitely lose power, and will even be liquidated by his political opponents, and his life will not be saved. So I heard, this is what I heard, please don't spread it randomly, this Mu Feizhang has been preserved in the city
To defend, we planned to support ourselves with troops, so we did not send troops to cut off the food route."
"I also heard that Mu Feizhang secretly contacted the enemy soldiers, seeming to want to reach a consensus and let Mu Haorang go north to attack Tianyao City with Qin Yi."
Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath!
I didn’t expect that there would be such a traitor in this important city!
Someone asked urgently, "Where did you hear about this?"
"I have a relative who is on duty in Taocheng. I only learned about it when he sent a letter home the day before yesterday," the lean man said, and asked again, "Please don't spread this matter everywhere!"<
/p>
Everyone nodded quickly, but in the corner, one person put down his meal money and left in a hurry.
Seeing the man leave, the lean man's eyes narrowed slightly, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
……
Kangdu, the main hall of the palace.
Hundreds of officials lined up on the left and right, holding wat tablets in their hands and standing with their heads bowed.
On the steps, the eunuch's shrill voice came, "I'm going to start playing, if nothing happens, I'll leave the court!"
At this moment, King Zhang glanced back, and a pale-faced civil servant nodded secretly, and immediately came out to report, "Your Majesty, I have something to report to you!"
On the dragon chair, the Liukang Emperor Xu Shaoyuan, who looked a little childish but deliberately kept a straight face and pretended to be solemn and cold, responded in a deep voice, "My dear, please speak."
The civil servant of Qinghui said, "Your Majesty, I have written a book, and I would like to read it for General Shumu of Tao City!"
When Emperor Liukang heard this, he immediately narrowed his eyes.
He knew that Mu Feizhang was one of Zhao Liangyan's disciples.
Therefore, he got excited and responded, "Tell me and listen!"
"Wei Chen learned that the enemy troops trapped in Tao City have withdrawn their troops and horses on the west side. Not far from here is the food transportation channel for Qin Yi's troops. It is actually an excellent opportunity to cut off food, so Qin Yi does not attack.
He was defeated, but General Mu remained unmoved. Not only did he not send troops, he also did not allow his subordinates to move out. This is a crime of delaying the opportunity to fight!" Qing Kui's civil servant said loudly.
Hearing that someone wanted to read a copy of Mu Feizhang, Zhao Liangyan had already been alert. After hearing this, he quickly went out and said, "Your Majesty, I have objections. Mu Feizhang acted like this because your Majesty has an order and you must stick to it."
Come on, he was just following His Majesty’s orders!”
Emperor Liukang frowned and said displeasedly, "I'm asking you to hold on, but when a fighter plane appears, you have to seize the opportunity. Does Mu Feizhang have no brains and will only stick to the rules?"
After being refuted by His Majesty, Zhao Liangyan was slightly stunned, not knowing how to refute.
King Zhang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Mu Feizhang delayed the fighter plane. This is a serious crime and should be punished!"
A military general came out of the squad and said, "Your Majesty, the enemy's sudden movement must be a conspiracy. General Mu is cautious and worried about falling into the trap, so he can't hold on. This is not a crime!"
The Qinghui civil servant snorted coldly, "It's okay to test it. After all, fighter opportunities are rare. How can we let them go? Mu Feizhang's move, in Wei Chen's opinion, is not because he is worried about falling into a trap, but because he has some ulterior motives!" p>
Zhao Liangyan was slightly angry and scolded, "Don't spit on others. Do you have any evidence?"
"The opportunity is rare, but you let it go, what is the evidence if it is not it?" The civil servant Qinghuo turned his head and looked at Emperor Liukang, "Your Majesty, if you want to know whether this Mu Feizhang is loyal, it is very simple. Order him to send troops to cut off the grain road.
If he obeys orders, he will have no objection."
Emperor Liukang pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Pass on my decree, let Mu Feizhang send troops to attack the enemy's food road, don't disobey the order!"
Emperor Liu Kang was already displeased with Mu Feizhang's delay in fighting. In addition, this person was under Zhao Liangyan's command, which made him even more displeased.
Therefore, we must test it to see if this guy really has different intentions!
If there is... Emperor Liu Kang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Zhao Liangyan.
