Chapter 568: Worry
In Gu Changhou's tent, the plan to attack Ximeng City was being discussed, and the opinions discussed were not agreed.
"Is it possible that Ji Hui is no longer in the city?" The girl's crisp and melodious voice suddenly sounded in the tent.
As soon as Mu Jin's words fell, there was a sudden silence in the tent of the discussion.
All the generals looked at Mu Jin incredulously.
They knew that because she saved the empress mother, the empress dowager and Gu Changhou were very grateful to Mu Jin, so they always let her participate in discussing military decisions together.
They themselves have a good impression of this little lady who is always smiling and shuttling through the barracks, leading people to help bandage, clean, and rescue her injured brother.
But this little lady spoke relatively little, and most of them listened quietly to their discussions, even when the Queen Mother asked, she often smiled and shook her head.
Today, she was unusual, and when they were discussing the attack plan, such a sentence came out, which made all of them stunned for a moment.
Gu Changhou was the first to react, "Mu Niangzi, what did you just say?" ”
Mu Jin repeated what he had just said, "I'm wondering, is it possible that Ji Hui is no longer in Ximeng City?" ”
The generals sitting in the tent shook their heads.
"Impossible, Ximeng is the capital of our Jingchang, he finally controlled the situation in Ximeng, how could he leave Ximeng?"
"This is wartime, how could he, a manager, leave the Western League?"
"If he leaves the Western League, where will he go?"
Gu Changhou frowned, but he didn't object to Mu Jin's words, "Why do you think so?" ”
Mu Jin thought about it, stood up, and walked to the map hanging next to the Empress Dowager Mu.
The girl's slender fingers were as white as jade, and the pale pink nails fell on a place on the map, so that everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on it.
The girl nodded in Pingshan County on the map, and then passed all the way through Mianyang, Meizhou, and De'an, and drew to Chengdu Mansion.
"Pingshan County is a fortress on Yizhou Road in the Great Zhou, but as long as Pingshan is broken, Mianyang, Meizhou, and De'an behind it will be a horse Pingchuan and go straight to Chengdu Mansion," Mu Jin turned his head and looked at Guchanghou with clear eyes, "Maybe Ji Hui wants more than Jingchangguo at all." ”
Gu Changhou's eyes followed her fingers back and forth on the map twice, and his face changed slightly.
Yes, maybe Ji Hui wants more than Jing Changguo at all.
The guards in the tent didn't understand, "What do you mean?" ”
"Mu Niangzi, can you explain a little more clearly?"
"Ji Hui doesn't want Jing Changguo, so what else does he want?"
Mu Jin's bright eyes looked at the Empress Dowager Mu, her face was a little pale, and she obviously understood what Mu Jin meant.
Gu Changhou took a deep breath, stood up, and walked to Yutu.
"Ji Hui colluded with Huangshan in the southwest before, and Huangshan is now attacking Pingshan with 30,000 soldiers and horses, Mu Niangzi means that the two of them may have reached some kind of agreement, the purpose is to take Yizhou Road together, and then divide it equally!"
Everyone understood this explanation, and the tent suddenly exploded.
"Ji Hui's ambition is too big, right?"
"No wonder we have been attacking Ximeng City for so many days, and we haven't seen Ji Hui show up once, it turns out that he is suspicious."
The guards scolded Ji Hui one after another.
Gu Changhou and Mu Jin glanced at each other, their expressions a little worried.
The difference is that Gu Changhou is worried that if Ji Hui's real purpose is not Ximeng City, but to divide Yizhou Road equally, then he will definitely not care too much about Ximeng City.
But he also needs Ximeng City to contain them, so he must have made a lot of arrangements in Ximeng City, who knows what he has arranged in the city, but I am afraid that they will break through Ximeng City, and they may not be able to rule.
Thinking of Ji Hui's ability to confuse people's hearts, Gu Changhou's back was cold.
Mu Jin is worried about Song Yanzhao, if Ji Hui also goes to Pingshan, Ji Hui and Huangshan join forces, I am afraid that Song Yanzhao will be under a lot of pressure.
"The Empress Dowager, Lord Hou, please make up your mind as soon as possible, how to face the current situation?" Mu Jin looked at the Empress Dowager.
Empress Dowager Mu asked the guards, "What do you think?" ”
All the guards hesitated for a moment.
Ji Hui is not in the city, it is just Mu Jin's speculation, no one can be sure whether Ji Hui is in the city or not.
Gu Changhou was also a little hesitant, "It's better to find someone to find a way to enter the city to confirm, if it's really not in the city, let's go straight to Cangyuan City, and fight Ji Hui and Huangshan with Song Yanei." ”
Mu Jin bowed his head, and he really wanted to confirm, not only to confirm that Ji Hui was not in the city, but also to confirm his arrangements in the city.
If they pull out the camp to support, what if the defenders of the Western League City surround and intercept them?
"I'll go." Mu Jin took the initiative to propose.
Gu Changhou hesitated, but the guards were unwilling.
"There are so many of us men, how can we let you go with a delicate little lady?"
"The Empress Dowager, go ahead!"
"And me, I'm willing to go."
The guards were gossiping and asking for help from themselves, seeing that Mu Jin had a headache, but they also knew that it was useless to argue with them, so they simply quietly withdrew from the camp.
She still brought green plums and shiso, and quietly confirmed it herself.
She was really worried about Song Yanzhao, and she didn't want to delay for a moment.
The war on Pingshan's side has reached a fever pitch.
Mu Jin didn't guess wrong, Ji Hui quietly arrived at Pingshan last night.
Huangshan knew that taking Yizhou Road was his last hope, and he agreed with Ji Hui to take Yizhou Road and give him three cities, and the rest was set up by him Huangshan as the king.
If he wins, he will be the lord of a country in the future, the emperor who expands the territory, and if he is defeated, he will only have one way to die.
As soon as Ji Hui arrived, for him, it was tantamount to adding wings to a tiger.
The next day's offensive battle was fierce.
Song Yanzhao stood on the city wall, watching with a deep face as soldiers continued to attack, accompanied by a dense rain of arrows, many people fell.
The soldiers standing on the walls kept waving their swords to slash at the enemies who tried to climb up, and the bright red blood sprayed on their bodies and even their faces, but no one cared.
"Their attack today is the most fierce in the past few days, it must be that the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry." Shi Hu stood beside Song Yanzhao and kicked over an enemy who had climbed up.
Song Yanzhao squinted at the open space below the city, the enemy had already begun to build a high platform, and did not speak, but his brows were frowned.
"Hey, what are they going to do here?" Shi Hu also found out, squinting in surprise.
Suddenly, a loud trumpet sounded, and the enemy began to retreat.
On the high platform built in the open space below the city, two figures slowly climbed up, oh no, it was three figures, and the person behind them was holding a person in his hand.
Shi Hu's gaze fell on the person who was grabbed by the southwest and thrown on the high platform, and his face suddenly changed greatly.
