At this moment, Yu Moyuan walked over and said loudly: "Stop! ”

The centurion recognized Yu Moyuan, knelt down and saluted: "I've seen Gongzi." ”

"Get up, centurion."

Luan Yimian attached to Yu Moyuan's ear and told him what had just happened.

Yu Moyuan pulled out his sword, put it on the neck of the man in black, and said, "Say, who sent you?" If you don't open your mouth again, I'll kill you with one sword. ”

The man in black looked timid, looking like he wanted to say something.

"Actually, I know who sent you, why you want to say it yourself, because I want to give you a chance to atone for your sins." As he spoke, Yu Moyuan put away his sword.

The man in black paused and said, "It's Chang Bei who sent the villain." ”

"That's right, I sent it, not only him, but the centurion also brought troops on my orders." At this time, Chang Zhangye walked in front of Yu Moyuan with a few entourages.

"Don't drive often, why did you send someone to kill General Shen?" Yu Moyuan asked.

Chang Zhangye took a deep breath and said, "Because I want to get rid of this heart disease for Ling Zun." ”

"Really?" Yu Moyuan chuckled, "You wanted to tie up General Shen and hand it over to Ling Ju, but my father didn't agree." Now that you're going to kill General Shen again, don't you know that doing so will leave your father with a reputation for killing virtuous people? ”

"Of course I do, but I won't let the envoy leave a bad name. Childe, you shouldn't have come here, since you're here, I'll make it clear. I mean to send someone to kill Shen Chu, and then say to the outside world that Shen Chu was killed by a thief who robbed money. If Shen Chu died like this, Ling Ju would not lead troops to kill, and Lingjun would not leave an infamy. I had to do this for the sake of the king, in order to keep the eight counties of Ruizhou. Chang Zhangye said.

Yu Moyuan said: "Don't drive, you are really well-intentioned." But let me tell you, no one can kill General Shen Chu, our Ruizhou army needs such loyal and brave generals! I'll treat tonight's events as if nothing had happened, so take them away." ”

Luan Yimian loosened the tie for the man in black, Chang Zhangye didn't say a word, and left the post house with the man in black and the centurion.

At the end of the day, Yu Moyuan took Shen Chu to the door of the Thorn Mansion, and a white-haired old man greeted him, he was Yu Moyuan's master Pu Mu.

Shen Chu saw Pu Mu and said, "Mr. Pu, I haven't seen you for ten years, and I miss it very much in my heart." ”

"General Shen, please follow the old man into the mansion. The envoy hasn't woken up yet, so let's go to the front hall to have tea first. Pu Mu said.

"Master, is my father still asleep? Usually he gets up on the fifth watch. ”

"Mo Yuan, for the teacher, he heard that Commander Zhang said that he would make Jun Si more genius sleep, he was overly worried."

The three of them sat down in turn in the antechamber, and the maidservant served hot tea. When he was young, Zhang Shiwu came in and said, "The envoy has arrived." ”

Shen Chu saw Yu Shengwei walk in, knelt down to give a salute, and said, "Huaiju Taishou Shen Chu has seen the envoy. After the defeat of the army, there was nowhere to go, so I came to defect, hoping that the envoy would take him in. ”

Yu Shengwei was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and helped Shen Chu up: "No need to be polite." ”

Pu Mu got up and said, "Congratulations to the envoy for getting a tiger general!" Now that the Songming camp outside the city lacks a chief general, Shen Chu can be asked to go to the Songming camp to serve as the chief general. ”

"I'm afraid that's not right, right?" Yu Shengwei's face was embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Pu Mu walked in front of Yu Shengwei, "What are you worried about?" Are you worried that if we leave General Shen behind, Ling Ju will lead a large army to kill him? ”

"yes." Yu Shengwei nodded.

"Envoy, even if we don't take in General Shen, Ling Ju will still lead the army to kill him. What we should think about now is how to meet the battle, how to retreat from the enemy! Pu Mu said.

As soon as the words fell, the doorman came in and said, "Envoy, there is a young man from outside the door, saying that he is from Yinghui City, the capital of the country, and he has something to see the envoy." ”

"Let him in." Yu Shengwei said.

When the young man saw Yu Shengwei, he didn't salute, but stared at Shen Chu and said, "Shen Chu, you thief is really here." ”

"Thief! How dare I say that I am a thief, I will kill you! Shen Chu angrily pulled out his sword and wanted to kill the young man, but Yu Moyuan stopped him.

Yu Shengwei saw that the young man was thin and his face was white and beardless, and asked, "Who is under the feet?" What's going on here? ”

"Under is Situ Zhan, the strategist of the General's Mansion, and the General has a letter and orders him to hand it over to the envoy."

Yu Shengwei took the letter, read it carefully, and handed it to Pu Mu, who glanced at it and tore it to shreds.

Situ Zhan looked at Pu Mu with strange eyes and said, "If you don't guess wrong, you are Mr. Pu Mu, right?" You actually tore up the general's letter in front of your subordinates, don't you believe what the general said? ”

Pu Mu laughed and said, "The letter says that if we don't hand over Shen Chu, Ling Ju will lead an army to take Ruizhou within ten days. You go back and tell Ling Ju that not only will we not hand over Shen Chu, but we will also reuse him! He'd better lead his army sooner, we can't wait!" ”

"What a megalomaniacal!" After speaking, Situ Zhan brushed his sleeves and left.

Situ Zhan returned to Yinghui City and went straight to the General's Mansion. He entered the general's mansion and saw that Ling Ju was discussing something with the generals under his command.

"General, I'm back." Situ Zhan arched his hand.

"How? Yu Shengwei read my letter, would you like to hand over Shen Chu? Ling asked.

Situ Zhan shook his head and replied, "They don't want to hand over people at all. Pu Mu, the strategist under Yu Shengwei's account, was particularly arrogant, saying that they would reuse Shen Chu, and that they would wait to fight the general. ”

"Pu Mu, I've heard of it." Ling Ju smiled, "He's a resourceful sage, but it's a pity that he's with the wrong person." ”

"When is the general going to raise troops to capture Ruizhou?" Situ Zhan asked.

"Tomorrow."

Ling Juren opened the marching map and said to everyone: "Xiaojing City is the barrier in the east of Ruizhou, and it is also the important land of money and food in Ruizhou, we must attack Xiaojing City first." ”

Situ Zhan looked at the marching map and said, "General, we have a lot of troops, and we can march in two ways, so the chances of victory are greater." ”

"What is Mr. Szeto's plan?"

Situ Zhan stepped forward and whispered his plan in Ling Ji's ear.

Ling Ji listened and said, "Sir, good strategy! ”

In the backyard of the Ruizhou Thorn Mansion, Yu Shengwei was practicing swordsmanship. At this time, Zhang Shiwu walked over quickly and said, "The envoy, the civil and military generals have all arrived, and they are waiting in the front hall." ”

Yu Shengwei came to the front hall, everyone saluted, Chang Zhangye said: "Envoy, visit Malai to report, Ling Ji raised 200,000 troops to attack Ruizhou, he ordered General Zuo Yu to lead an army of 30,000 as the vanguard, at this time Yu Xi should be less than 100 miles away from Xiaojing City." ”

"What? 200,000 troops! Zhonglang was a little surprised by Lu Shangchuan.

"General Lu, are you afraid?" Yu Shengwei asked.

Lu Shangchuan arched his hand and said: "The last general is not afraid, the last general is willing to lead troops to reinforce Xiaojing City now!" ”

Yu Shengwei sighed and said, "In addition to the troops stationed in the counties, I can only mobilize 60,000 soldiers and horses now. Now there are 10,000 defenders in Xiaojing City, and I have decided to send all 60,000 of them to Xiaojing City. We use 70,000 horses to resist the 200,000 army that is strong, and we should be able to hold Xiaojing City. If Ling Ji can't capture Xiaojing City for a long time, he will be exhausted and short of food and grass, so he will naturally retreat. General Lu, you immediately led an army of 60,000 to Xiaojing City. ”

"No!" Lu Shangchuan was about to go out, but Pu Mu stopped him.

"Envoy, if you arrange it like this, Ruizhou is in danger! You sent all 60,000 troops to Xiaojing City, this is exactly the trick of Ling Jiao! Pu Mu said.

"What do you mean, sir?" Yu Shengwei was puzzled.

"Ling Ju led an army of 200,000 to attack Xiaojing City first, just to let the envoy send all the troops of Ruizhou to Xiaojing City, and then he secretly sent a general to attack other places, so that we have no reinforcements to send, and this strange army is easy to win, directly to attack Ruizhou City, at that time, Ruizhou City has very few troops, and we can't hold the city at all, and once the city is lost, we will die without a place to bury." Pu Mu said loudly.

Yu Shengwei instantly understood, and said: "What the old gentleman said is extremely true, Ling Ji wants to enter the army in two ways." In your opinion, how should we deploy our troops? ”

"According to the old man's intentions, let General Lu only bring 10,000 people to reinforce Xiaojing City, and the other 50,000 people will not move for the time being."

Lu Shangchuan listened and said, "If you only bring 10,000 people over, can you hold Xiaojing City?" ”

"The city of Xiaojing City is strong, the grain and grass are sufficient, and the guard general Bian Xianyi is a fierce general who is good at defending the city. You won't have a problem keeping it for a year. Pu Mu said to Lu Shangchuan.

Seeing that Lu Shangchuan was still a little hesitant, Yu Mo Yuan stepped forward and said, "Father, the child is willing to lead 10,000 soldiers to Xiaojing City. ”

As if he hadn't heard it, Yu Shengwei ordered: "General Lu, according to Mr. Pu's words, you immediately lead an army of 10,000 to Xiaojing City, and don't delay for a moment!" ”

"The last will obey." Lu Shangchuan walked out quickly.

Yu Moyuan asked Pu Mu: "Master, where do you think Ling will send that strange army to attack from?" ”

"Disciple, you talk about it first."

Yu Moyuan looked at the march map hanging on the wall and fell into deep thought. After a while, he said, "I think Ling Ju will send his sailors to travel up the river in a warship to capture the city of Yukou, and then from the south to the north, to attack the city of Ruizhou. ”

"Mo Yuan, you think the same as Master. Ling's sailor is known as invincible in the world, and he will definitely send a sailor to attack Yukou City. Pu Mu said with a smile.

"Mr. Pu, are we going to send troops to reinforce Yukou City?" Yu Shengwei asked.

Pu Mu paused and said, "Don't rush first. We can't just repel Ling's sailor this time, but destroy his sailor. If we destroy his sailors, we will have no worries, and we can lead all our troops to Xiaojing City for reinforcements. ”

When they heard this, they were all convinced. Yu Shengwei said: "From today on, the matter of transferring troops and dispatching generals must be up to Mr. Pu, and what he says is equivalent to what I say." The generals went back to their respective offices first. ”

"No!" And the generals returned to their camps.

Pu Mu said to Yu Moyuan: "Moyuan, there is one thing that you have to do immediately. ”

"Master, what's the matter?"
