In the Chinese military tent, Sun Cheng and Xie Ruyu lined up on both sides. A group of generals and lieutenants were lying on the table, studying the defense plans placed on the table.
After listening to Xie Ruyu's analysis of Su Lu, Sun Cheng laughed and said:
"Master Xie is wrong. Su Hou just wants other counties to exchange for Shangshan. We will continue to fight."
"We went to war with the Qin army in order to exchange Shangshan with the Han army. The Han army naturally had no reason to go to war with us. Without the support of the Han army, the Qin army was no match for our army. As long as Wuyuan was defeated, the Han army would not
It is too late to coordinate the Qin army."
Xie Ruyu frowned when he heard this: "The Qin army is not difficult to deal with. If we break the Wuyuan camp, Li Chengfeng will probably come out again, and a fierce battle will inevitably happen."
Sun Cheng smiled: "Li Chengfeng is powerful, but I, Sun Cheng, am not bad either. I have never fought, so no one can say who is stronger. Even if Li Chengfeng is more powerful, my Tang army is not even a bit stronger than Qiang Jun. Two
Offsetting this, Li Chengfeng may not be able to beat me."
Xie Ruyu frowned even more: "Li Chengfeng can be called the God of War for a reason. General, don't be careless. In the past, when Commander Zhou was here, he was suppressed and beaten by Li Chengfeng."
"Shuai Zhou?"
Sun Cheng's eyes flashed with tears, thinking of that magical man. If Zhou Shuai was really here, no matter how many soldiers there were, they would not be able to close the gap between him and Zhou Shuai.
If Li Chengfeng is really that powerful, he should be more cautious.
"No, you won't know who is stronger until you fight."
Sun Cheng insisted.
Xie Ruyu frowned even more. General Sun insisted on his opinion. What if he really had a conflict with Li Chengfeng?
but
Such conflicts between countries are simply inevitable.
Could it be that he knew that Li Chengfeng was powerful so he didn't attack Qin? This time the Han army fell out with your army and refused to support Qin. This was a golden opportunity for the Tang Dynasty. When Su Lu regretted it, such an opportunity would be
Can't find it.
"Yes, you won't know until you fight."
Xie Ruyu also spoke, her face full of excitement. She must be beaten, and she will wait until she can no longer beat her.
…
Ten days later, Wanning in Xiting.
In the Governor's Mansion, Su Lu stood in front of the defense map and stared at the terrain map carefully.
Luo Xuan came in from outside and asked for instructions:
"Commander Commander, there is news from the front. The Qin army attacked Yangxi and captured Wanfu. The Qin army was defeated in both battles and has retreated to the Wuyuan camp."
Su Lu nodded, "General Luo, I will be out for a few days. You will be responsible for all the affairs in the Governor's Mansion these days. Everything will be done based on the Wuyuan war. Once the Tang army defeats the Wuyuan camp, our army will attack
Go out of Wuyuan and capture Shuangjiang and Yulong."
Luo Xuan bowed in response and asked doubtfully:
"Commander, this is a critical moment. Where are you going? Many of the generals in Xiting are rebellious. I'm afraid I won't be able to command them."
Su Lu patted Luo Xuan on the shoulder: "The ones I left behind are Su Ping, Li Kun and He Congzhi. They are the generals I brought from the north. I have given them military orders. They will act according to your military orders."
As long as you mobilize them."
Luo Xuan's face was full of excitement: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for your trust, and thank you for your grace. Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will definitely live up to your trust and capture Shuangjiang and Yulong before you return."
Su Lu nodded and gave instructions: "Tudun'er, you hold my seal and follow General Luo Xuan. If no one resists the order, that's it. If anyone dares to resist the order, you can use General Luo Xuan's authority to do so."
It’s my duty to do it.”
Tudun'er bowed in response, Su Lu gave a few instructions, said goodbye to Luo Xuan, and then hurriedly left the Governor's Mansion with his personal troops and headed west out of the city.
The guardsmen left the city and followed the highway out of Wanning. They turned south and walked for a day before turning around. After walking for another half a day, they arrived at Dongshi and entered the camp of Dong Ning's army stationed here.
.
Dong Ning came out with a group of guards. When they saw Su Lu, Dong Ning and the generals and lieutenants bowed and saluted.
"Meet the prince"
"Meet the Commander-in-Chief"
Su Lu waved his hand, indicating to the generals to excuse themselves, walked towards the central military tent, and asked:
"How's it going? What's going on with Xia Houwei recently?"
"I came here this time for no other reason than the war between the Qin and Tang Dynasties. I want to first destroy Xiahou Wei and calm down the troubles on this side, and then sweep the nearby areas. I must give the people of Monan and Longshu a stable life."
Dong Ning followed Su Lu closely, with a confused look on his face:
"Didn't I say that we should conquer Qin and Tang Dynasties first, capture Yulong and Shuangjiang, and then besiege Xiahouwei? Why did we change our strategy?"
Cao Hua, who was following next to him, said:
"General Dong, Your Majesty has issued a decree, asking the prince to capture Xiahouwei. There is a battle between the northern and southern royal courts in Tule. Li Xun is unable to support the northern royal court. I am afraid that he will be sent back to our Han Kingdom soon. The queen wants to
Find out the true reason for Xiahou's rebellion."
Dong Ning opened his mouth wide and looked confused. This was actually the case.
Su Lu ordered:
"Dong Ning came in, and the rest of the people dispersed and returned to the camp to prepare for war and attack. Xia Houwei is entrenched in Qiqu Mountain. This time I mobilized three armies just to capture him in one fell swoop. Regardless of whether there is the Queen's will or not, I am here
I will capture him Xia Houwei every time."
Dong Ning followed Su Lu into the tent with a confused voice:
"Your Majesty, Xia Houwei is cunning. If he knew you were coming, I'm afraid he wouldn't fight you head-on. In the past in the capital, he led the Dongda Camp, so he was no match for you. This time he led a mixed army, even more so.
I will not be your opponent."
Su Lu waved his hand: "I took a small road this time. I have passed everywhere, including Dingyuan and Wanghe, and have never entered the city. If Xia Houwei knows that I am coming, then your men have leaked my whereabouts."
Dong Ning chuckled: "On your way here, the people in Wanning and Longshu saw your car. If this news is leaked, it may not necessarily mean that I have a spy under my command."
Su Lu smiled and said nothing. After a while, a group of guards entered the city. The leader was Pu Nanda, the commander of the Dingxiang Guard stationed in the West Pavilion. Pu Nanda held a booklet in his hand and presented it respectfully.
Come up.
"Your Majesty, your humble position has fulfilled your mission. I took advantage of Your Majesty's trip this time to capture twelve spies deployed by Xia Houwei, including the fifteen we had previously controlled, and eliminated all Xia Houwei's spies in Dongshi."
"These are search properties and detailed listings."
Pu Nanda took the booklet from another Dingxiang guard and continued to present it and talk.
Su Lu took the booklet and looked at it for a few times, then raised the corner of his mouth:
"Okay, you did a good job in Dingxiangwei, Pu Nanda. You can divide the money into Dingxiangwei by 20%, and keep the rest. I will be of great use."
"By the way, have you brought all the people I want?"
Punanda said respectfully: "They are already here. They are all in Dongshi. Your Majesty, you can pull them up at any time if you need them."
Su Lu nodded: "Okay, you did a good job."
Punanda responded and prepared to retreat. After hesitating for a long time, he finally asked.
"Your Majesty, these people are ordinary people, what use do you want them for?"
Su Lu glanced at Punanda, his expression a little unhappy.
Pu Nanda hurriedly knelt down and said, "My subordinate Zan has overstepped his bounds. Your Majesty, please atone for your sins."
