Ying Yanglang general Xu Qingzhu bowed and asked Liu Ling: "Your Highness...Shang Dingzhen will really be fooled?"
Liu Ling smiled and said: "If this is just a small and unscrupulous trick, Shang Dingtian will naturally not turn against Nan Ming. At most, he will have a little doubt in his heart, but there will inevitably be a gap between the two people. A
If you can't use small tricks to create a rift between Shang Dingtian and Nan Ming, then use more small tricks."
Xu Qingzhu suddenly realized: "The four or five teams of suspected soldiers sent by the prince to go to Quanye City by other roads were also intended to turn Shang Dingtian and Nan Ming against each other!"
Liu Ling nodded and said: "If people from the Control Yuan can sneak in and create conflicts, there is no need to go through these things, but it is not easy to sneak in. There is no way to work in a short time, this is a last resort. If it works, tomorrow
The probability of victory is determined by ten points. If it fails, it will still be a hard battle. Although the Liuqiu people have low combat power, they win because they rely on the terrain to appear and disappear. Quanye City is built on the mountains. The spies reported back that the entire city
They are all built of stone and are very solid. The city gates are thick and have jamming mechanisms. Even if you use a battering ram, you may not be able to break them open. The mountain road is difficult to pass and the battering ram cannot come up. Therefore,
If you want to win, you must create chaos within the Ryuqiu people so that you can take advantage of it.”
He paused and said, "After all, I'm just not willing to waste too many troops in this place."
"Tell the soldiers to camp here tonight! The scouts sent out can come back and set up defenses within ten miles of the camp."
Liu Ling ordered calmly.
Xu Qingzhu immediately went down to make arrangements. After hearing the prince's order, many soldiers were puzzled. They could reach Quanye City in another two hours. It was only after noon at this time. It was impossible to reach Quanye City before dark.
Question. But no one will question Liu Ling's order. Whether they are veterans who have been in the army for many years or men who have recently joined the army, they all firmly believe in one truth, that is, the decision of the King of Han is always correct.
Observation posts and scouts were set up, and then the soldiers began to set up tents. The mountain road was difficult to travel, and the carriages from the supply camp were not coming, so the soldiers' tents were carried up. The felt cloth of one tent weighed a hundred kilograms, which can be seen from this.
The marching burden of the soldiers was very heavy. Fortunately, the speed of this march was not urgent, so the soldiers took turns carrying them without feeling too tired. However, the soldiers were still not used to the humid weather, and the conditions in the mountains and forests were
Insects also caused them a lot of trouble.
The Han army was well prepared. After lighting countless piles of medicinal herbs, the insects were dispersed. The soldiers quickly set up the felt tent. Liu Ling's tent was in the center of the camp, surrounded by grass.
Being shoveled away ensures that no insect will get in and suck the blood of King Han.
More than 20 miles away from the Han army's camp, more than 20,000 soldiers from the Zhongshan Kingdom were still lying in the grass waiting for the arrival of the Han army. But what they didn't know was that in the forest behind
A chaos almost broke out among several big shots in the Zhongshan Kingdom. The cause was that the scout who was wounded by an arrow brought back very bad news. If Shang Dingtian hadn't suppressed it, it's hard to say that those big shots would have been in trouble.
Fight.
Shang Dingtian ordered the scout to rest after he was bleeding profusely and was on the verge of collapse. He turned his head and glanced at Nan Ming, who had a solemn expression on his face, and said, "Grand Chief, I will not believe this."
Having just been criticized hoarsely by his own tribe, Nan Ming's face was very ugly. He stood up and bowed slightly to Shang Dingtian and saluted: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."
"This is just a counter-measure by Liu Ling, King of Han. How could I be fooled by him? In my opinion, this is just a sign of poor skills by King Liu Ling of Han. If he had a better way, how could he fool him?
He did such a mean trick? He knew that I wouldn’t believe it, but he just wanted to make me sick by doing this.”
Shang Dingtian said with a smile.
His expression was very peaceful, and no one noticed that there was a hint of gloominess in the look he looked at Nan Ming before.
Just as Nan Ming was about to speak, La Chi said angrily: "The general also believes in the patriarch! But the general also feels that someone among us must be colluding with Liu Ling's fellow! Otherwise, Liu Ling would know exactly why the army set up an ambush here.
Chu? The scouts dispersed by the three teams were all taken away by the Han people. How could this be possible if no one informed them? In this mountain forest, it is absolutely impossible for the Han people to hide better than our people. Many of those scouts
They were all trained by the general himself, and he does not believe that they would be stupid enough to be discovered by the Han people first!"
Lachi's eyes swept over everyone's faces, and he was extremely cold: "Your Majesty! This matter must be investigated. With such a mole, how could Liu Ling be ambushed! I'm afraid, if this continues, someone will lead Liu Ling into hiding.
That fellow Ling is here to kill us!"
"Shut up!"
Shang Dingtian said angrily: "I have already said that this is just Liu Ling's counterintuitive plan. Why are you so stupid? You will be fooled if others want you to be fooled? I can trust the people here, and they will follow me from life to death.
Now that you are an old man, who would betray us all? Let alone the patriarch!"
Lachi snorted and said, "Who knows if someone has been bribed by Liu Ling? Some people only have jewelry and money in their hearts! If you give them money, you can even betray your biological parents, sons and daughters, let alone us!"
General Ge Ge said angrily: "Rachi! What do you mean! Don't you have any suspicion? In my opinion, you are the one who leaked the news!"
La Chi suddenly stood up and pointed at Ge Ge and screamed: "You fart! How could I do such a nasty thing if I am loyal to His Majesty? It's you, maybe you are the one who is greedy for life and fears death and sets up an ambush for the army in advance.
People told Liu Ling! Ge Ge, I have long disliked you, you can even sell your son, what else can’t you do!"
At that time, Ge Ge's family was in dire straits, so he had no choice but to sell one of his three sons to another tribe. This incident was originally painful for him. The son who sold him later died of illness. After Ge Ge became rich, he wanted to return home.
His son has no chance, and every time he thinks about it, it hurts like a knife. He heard Lachi say before that some people even sold their children, how could he bear it?
"Rachi! Do you think you are the only one here who is loyal to His Majesty? When I followed His Majesty to conquer the country, you were still hunting sheep in the mountains! You don't like me, I don't think so.
You are not pleasing to the eye! If you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will cut your head off with a knife right now!"
Lachi said angrily: "If you have the ability, why don't you try it? What? I told you that you want to kill someone to silence me? Ge Ge, you made the wrong calculation! In terms of ability, I, Lachi, am no weaker than you!"
Nan Ming frowned and said: "How unbecoming of you two to yell in front of His Majesty! We are all members of our own family, so there are no spies or traitors! If anyone dares to say such things again, don't blame me for breaking the rules left by our ancestors!
"
Ge Ge said loudly: "The great patriarch! You have also seen that Lachi is spitting blood!"
Lacchi shouted: "I'm a slanderer? If it's not you, then who do you think it is? If no one had liaised with the Han army, and Liu Ling was not a god, how could he have killed so many of our scouts, and how could he have ambushed us?"
You know it so clearly! If it weren’t for you, how could you still be the patriarch?”
"enough!"
Shang Dingtian shouted angrily.
"Rachi! If I hear you say another word, I will have your head chopped off! I have already said that this is just Liu Ling's counterintuitive plan. He doesn't know that we are setting up an ambush here.
The scouts were killed by the Han people because their skills were inferior to others! I have long said that you should not underestimate the yamen of the Han Kingdom called the Supervisory Yuan. Now you know how powerful the people in the Supervisory Yuan are! Don’t doubt each other.
If so, you just fell into Liu Ling’s trick!”
Shang Dingtian explained: "Liu Ling has been using troops for many years, and it is not impossible to guess that I am setting up an ambush here. It is understandable that he is cautious in using his troops and sends more scouts to explore the road. It is precisely because he found out that I am setting up an ambush here that he implemented the plan
Such a vicious method was used!"
Nan Ming bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise, I think that if the Han army really has an internal agent, they can send people to lure us out, and then Liu Ling leads his troops to suddenly attack, and our army will be defeated. It can be seen from this that Liu Ling
It’s just speculation.”
He thought for a while and said: "In my opinion, it is better to take advantage of the Han army's encampment and its unstable foothold, and your Majesty to lead troops to kill them at night. The Han army will be caught off guard and will be defeated!"
Shang Dingtian glanced at Nan Ming thoughtfully and said: "Grand Chief, the Han army is on guard. If we attack at night... I'm afraid we will be ambushed by the Han army. This move... is inappropriate."
Nan Ming said: "Don't miss this opportunity!"
La Chidao: "Didn't the scout just say that Liu Ling has sent several armies to attack the capital separately? I think we should send more people out to investigate the news. If there is really a Han army taking a detour to attack the capital, I'm afraid...
"
He didn't say what he said next, but everyone understood what he meant. Doubt is like a grass growing in the heart. Once it sprouts, it will grow uncontrollably. People with a narrow mind will become unscrupulous.
Believe anyone. Lacchi is a foolhardy man. He always feels that someone among his own must have been bribed by Liu Ling.
Nan Ming said angrily: "Rachi! Are you still doubting me?"
Lachi was startled, bowed and said: "Big clan leader, Lachi doesn't dare."
Nan Ming was so angry that he coughed excitedly: "I have been planning for your Majesty for several years, and I have been making suggestions to make Zhongshan Kingdom strong! I am in Zhongshan, and your Majesty respects me very much. What benefits does Liu Ling promise me?"
Will you betray His Majesty?"
Lachi was submissive and did not dare to speak. He had a natural fear of the patriarch.
Just as Shang Dingtian was about to persuade Nan Ming, a scout from a distance suddenly ran over panting: "Report! Your Majesty, something bad is happening! The Han army was divided into five groups to attack the capital, each with no less than 5,000 troops.
!The fastest route of the Han army is now less than twenty miles away from the capital! The people leading the Han army...leading the way...are people from the Ali tribe!"
"What did you say!"
Nan Ming's body shook violently, his vision went dark, and he fainted.
Shang Dingtian subconsciously stretched out his hand to support Nan Ming, but his hand stopped in mid-air. Nan Ming's old body fell to the ground with a plop, and even Lachi and Ge Ge did not reach out to help Ali.
, it is the tribe of the great patriarch Nan Ming!
A voice kept swirling in Shang Dingtian's heart, making his face become more and more ugly. The voice was like a poisonous snake's hesitation, which was already eerie and terrifying, casting a layer of darkness on the clarity of his heart.
Could it be that the King of Han promised Nanming... to be the lord of Liuqiu? (To be continued)
