Shen Jiancheng said, "Who are these three people?" This king thought that it was either Fang Wenhou or Tuoba Yanxi who was the vanguard."

Qin Chong also had this idea at the beginning, "At first, I also thought it was the two of them, but no, Tuoba Yanxi's team was marching towards Pingyang, saying that they were ill and the journey was slow"

Shen Jiancheng laughed when he heard it, "Is your body sick?" I didn't feel sick the last time I saw him."

Qin Chongdao "It's mostly a pretext"

"What about Fang Wenhou?" Shen Jiancheng asked.

"He came to Pukou"

Shen Jiancheng said: "These 150,000 troops are all supported by the King of Shu and the King of Wei? ”

Qin Chong shook his head firmly at the moment and said, "No, if you want to support it, you need half of one person, the strength is there, the King of Wei and the King of Shu can't make up so much military rations now, if there is, they won't make peace."

It sounded like Shen Jiancheng heard the opportunity, "Since Tuoba Yanxi is delaying, then he is waiting to see the situation?" ”

Qin Chongdao "Yes, to be precise, there are only 90,000 people in this attack"

"Ninety thousand?" Shen Jiancheng looked at Qin Chongdao and said, "What Taiwei means is that Fang Wenhou and Tuoba Yanxi have the same attitude?" ”

Qin nodded, and Shen Jiancheng's face looked calm this time, "Then we have nothing to be afraid of, only 90,000 people still dare to invade Jingyue, I really don't know whether to live or die."

"There are not many people, but they can't be taken lightly, they have been checked, Yang Bin, this person's name is unknown, but he is the commander of the army, this person may have some talents"

Shen Jiancheng agreed with Qin Chong's opinion and said in a deep voice, "In this way, they can't fight a protracted war."

Qin Chongdao "It must not be, when the prince was in Bei'an, many military supplies in Bei'an were supported by us, without our supply, the king of Shu was also afraid that the king of Wei would regret it, so he was impatient to attack, according to me, they will fight and collect grain this time"

A hint of an incomprehensible smile floated from the corner of Shen Jiancheng's lips, and he said lightly, "Then if we can't defend it, we will kill them."

Xu Mingshan stared at the map in the conference hall, and there were two generals beside him, one was Wu Peng and the other was Zhang Chengye, and the three of them looked at the map to see the situation.

Wu Peng pointed at Lian Ning and said, "The lieutenant's subordinates are unknown, why did he give up Lian Ning so easily, and what is the purpose of giving him away so much?" Although Lianning is difficult to defend, Lianning is close to Pukou, and it is fast to support the enemy, as long as Lianning Pukou is held, the enemy will not want to get closer to Yangguangcheng."

Zhang Chengye didn't speak, Xu Mingshan could guess that he mostly agreed with Wu Peng's opinion, Xu Mingshan stared at the map and smiled without saying a word.

Zhang Chengye reminded Wu Peng, "The enemy has entered Lian Ning, what's the use of saying this now, the captain has his own intentions in doing this, we just need to defend Pukou and not let the enemy go further."

Xu Mingshan said with a smile, "This is an opportunity for meritorious service, if you want to make meritorious service, you have to win a beautiful battle, not only to win but also to fight quickly, Wu Peng, you said, if you want to fight wolves, is it easy to fight wolves in the wild, or go directly to the wolf's den?" ”

Wu Peng said: "The wild world is big, and if the wolf wants to escape, there is no way for a good hunter."

Although it is risky to go to the wolf's den to fight wolves, as long as the good hunters are concentrated and cooperated, it is not impossible to annihilate the wolves."

Xu Mingshan nodded and smiled, "That's it, Lian Ning is my wolf den for the enemy, Lian Ning is actually a lonely town, if the other party wants to attack hard, even if we can hold on hard for eight days, it is not bad, rather than defending Lian Ning and letting the soldiers die in vain, it is better to give Lian Ning away to our advantage"

"However, there is no reason to give the enemy a town before the war starts" Wu Peng insisted on his own opinion, "Fang Wenhou is a general of Northern Shu, and he may be able to see the intention of the captain."

Xu Mingshan smiled and said in a tone of affirmation and confidence, "I believe he will be able to see that if he can't see that he is not Fang Wenhou, but he has no choice, camping in the wild, firstly, he is afraid of our fire attack, and secondly, people always have a sense of fear, how can they sleep outside and sleep in the house with peace of mind, Fang Wenhou will be cautious and will not put people into Lianning, so the most important thing at present is to find a way to drive the people outside to Lianning."

Zhang Chengye added: "As long as people enter Lianning, we can close the door and beat the dog"

Wu Peng was still worried, "Captain, it's not just Fang Wenhou who came, the Huang Guild sent people over to echo each other, and the situation was not good at that time."

Xu Mingshan was not worried about this, his smile widened and he said happily, "Huang Gong will not let Fang Wenhou fight alone here, in fact, this battle Fang Wenhou is only an auxiliary, the main force is still Huang Gong's army, the enemy army is on an expedition, it should be assumed that we will not take the initiative to attack, but we will take the initiative to attack."

Wu Peng and Zhang Chengye listened to Xu Mingshan's chest, and said in unison, "My subordinates are willing to act as pioneers"

"Very good" Xu Mingshan's eyes lit up, staring at the map of Lian Ning, and said in a deep voice, "Monitoring Lian Ning's movements, the north is the most critical, if the Huang Gong army wants to support, it will come from the north, if our surprise attack can intercept and scare back, the Huang Gong reinforcements will be forced to stay in the north Wukou Mountain, and then there will be a short time and Fang Wen to fight a tough battle"

It is indeed the best policy to separate the enemy and annihilate it, Wu Peng asked Xu Mingshan to persuade his spirits and said, "My subordinates are willing to lead the army to raid"

Xu Mingshan said, "Pass my military order, Wu Peng carefully selected 5,000 elite soldiers to go to the northern front, as long as you find the enemy's traces, you decide when to attack."

"Yes," Wu Peng replied in a sonorous tone.

Xu Mingshan said, "Chengye, the location of Fang Wenhou's sub-camp will be verified as soon as possible"

"Yes" Zhang Chengye suddenly agreed to the order and retreated.

The two left, Xu Mingshan's eyes fell on the map, and he said to himself, "Escort Lu, if you can let Tuoba Yanxi kill Fang Wen Hou in advance, we will have a greater chance of winning."

Xu Mingshan took his eyes off the map, went out, came to the Pukou city wall, inspected the great rivers and mountains outside Pukou, and said remotely, "In this battle, our army will win"

The next day, Shen Jiancheng and Qin Zhong walked on the inner palace city wall and looked at the endless houses of Jingyue, the sun was shining today, and the roof tiles were shining.

The war is imminent, it is a troublesome matter, how to close the mess of Da Situ is also another trouble, Shen Jiancheng looked solemn and pondered for a while and asked, "How are Da Situ going to collect this matter?" ”

Qin Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "The mess is not small, most of the officials and scholars in the DPRK and China are attached, and now one person is needed to match, the only feasible way is to get close to Cao Yu, the officials are fine, but those scholars are in some trouble, Cao Yu is in a hurry now, give me a greeting, and I will go back to the house later."

Shen Jiancheng said, "Cao Yu wants to visit?" Isn't this a miracle? ”

Qin Zhong smiled and said, "He was afraid that the prince would blame him for having a close relationship with Da Situ before, and when he saw me at this time, he probably wanted to protect himself."

Shen Jiancheng said, "If you can match the people in the scholars, you can make up for it"

Qin Chongzai said, "Verbal promise, I'm afraid he won't be relieved"

Shen Jiancheng said slowly: "Then how can I rest assured?" ”

Qin Chong didn't say it directly, hinting, "Prince, do you remember Miss Cao?" ”

Qin Chong suddenly talked about Cao Jinxiang, and Shen Jiancheng felt a headache: "He still doesn't give up?" Do you still want to climb with this king? ”

This meaning sounded very disgusting, Qin Chongqing sighed and said, "Only in this way will Cao Yu rest assured, and when I meet him, I will probably mention it, and I want to ask what the prince means."

Shen Jiancheng sank his face and said, "My father only has the queen mother in his heart, and there are many beauties in the harem who have never been lucky."

Qin Zhong stubbornly said, "Then the prince looks at the result, Jiang Gong also wanted to send his daughter to the palace, but those concubines in the harem were all alone in the empty room, and they became objects, so they didn't send people to the palace."

Shen Jiancheng said, "Taiwei wants this king to learn from this"

Qin Chongdao, "Which big family is not three wives and four concubines, let alone the emperor"

Shen Jiancheng pondered for a moment and said, "This matter must be Cao Yu?" ”

Qin Chong said helplessly, "Other people don't have a lot to do with him"

Shen Jiancheng didn't say yes or no, "He wants to send Miss Cao to the palace, so he has to take something out to show the king, right?" ”

Qin Zhong asked, "What does the prince want to see?" ”

Shen Jiancheng said, "It's not that I can't agree to this, unless he can let Wen Zuo enter the palace."

Jingyue's three major scholar clans, Jiang Gong fell, Ge Gong was his own person, and the only thing left was Duke Wen, if he could enter the palace, he would express his stance to the scholars.

Qin Chong hesitated for a moment before saying, "This thing is not easy to do."

Shen Jiancheng said: "It's easy to do, what do you want him to do?" ”

Qin Chong said, "It's not early, the prince's meaning will be truthfully conveyed"

Shen Jiancheng stared into the distance and said lightly, "Go"

Qin Zhong returned to the Taiwei Mansion, Cao Yu and Cao Jinxiang were already waiting, and apologized at the moment, "There are some things in the palace, just get out and come back, let Lord Cao wait for a long time, I really don't want to go"

Cao Yu smiled and said, "Xiaguan has just arrived, by the way, this is a little girl"

Cao Jinxiang immediately visited "Jinxiang has seen the captain"

Qin Chong laughed, "I heard that Miss Cao is beautiful and beautiful, and she really deserves her reputation."
