Chapter 638: Painstaking Chen Palace
On that day, the five women were all beautiful, and they were all beautiful and amazing, some of them were skilled and intelligent, some were glamorous and charming, and some were brutal and delicate, anyway, the five women stood together, just like a goddess going down to earth together, and people couldn't help but be jealous that Ma Zongheng was fortunate to enjoy the blessings of such a Qi people.
The five daughters are all proud daughters of the sky, but when they saw each other, they were all secretly amazed. However, this is not the most devastating thing for them, and when Diao Chan walked in with the help of Jiang's mother, the unparalleled beauty of the fish and geese and the moon and flowers in an instant made the five women feel a little frustrated. Even Qiao Ying, who has absolute confidence in her beauty since she was a child, also felt defeated by Diao Chan, since that time, Qiao Ying has been a little lost, and I don't know whether the other four ladies are intentional or unintentional, they actually hid from Uncle Ma with Qiao Ying, so that Uncle Ma, who thought that they could finally enjoy the blessings of this Qi people, was so disappointed that they had to put their energy into military affairs. Who knew that this time he led the troops to Suiyang, Qiao Ying secretly followed him again, and he was so angry that Ma Zongheng was furious, but before he could drink, Qiao Ying cried aggrievedly. What Ma Zongheng is most afraid of in his life is that a woman will cry, because she is her beloved woman, her heart is soft, so she agreed to Qiao Ying and let her follow.
Unbeknownst to her, Qiao Ying moved her careful thoughts, hoping to take the opportunity to have more opportunities to be alone with Ma Zongheng and win back her first position in Ma Zongheng's mind.
Although Qiao Ying is married to a wife, she is still young after all, and Ma Zongheng has many wives, so she is extremely concerned about her position in Ma Zongheng's mind. Ma Zongheng was helpless for a while, and he didn't think about it, so he said that he loved her the most. This eccentric bridge was just married.
Since then, Qiao Ying has always believed that Ma Zongheng's favorite thing is herself. But when Diao Chan appeared, it brought a great sense of threat to Qiaoying. In order to stabilize her position in Ma Zongheng's mind, Qiao Ying even put down her body and tried to make a table of good dishes to win Ma Zongheng's heart.
"Hmph, you're stupid, you don't know what other people think, and you scold others." Qiao Ying said with a little grievance, a little coquettish, talking and talking, she actually cried when she said it, her eyes quickly turned red, and Ma Zongheng was so frightened that she hurriedly grabbed back Qiao Ying's little hand, and admitted her mistake while gently stroking it. In this way, Qiao Ying broke into laughter.
That night, Ma Zongheng and Qiao Ying applied scalding cream, and soon after eating, Guo Jia sent someone to invite Ma Zongheng to the palace to discuss matters. Ma Zongheng listened, and couldn't help but cast an apologetic look at Qiao Ying. Qiao Ying was sensible this time, smiled slightly, expressed understanding, and urged Ma Zongheng to go quickly. Seeing that Qiao Ying has become much more mature than before, Ma Zongheng, who doesn't know the reason, is still very relieved in his heart, kisses Qiao Ying's forehead, and sees that Qiao Ying is a little shy, wanting to refuse and welcome, and can't help but laugh and leave.
When he was young, Ma Zongheng, who was in a good mood, came to the palace, but saw that a cadre of civil and military officers had already sat down. Ma Zongheng's face condensed slightly, and after the golden knife sat down across the horse, everyone hurriedly bowed. Ma Zongheng waved his hand, and everyone sat down.
"How is the situation progressing now?" Ma Zongheng asked lightly, as always, with a steady look of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him and his color remained unchanged.
At this time, I saw a handsome man beside Guo Jia who was neatly dressed, with sharp eyes and beautiful hair, it was Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu was obedient, so he said: "Back to the lord, my meticulous work has already arrived in Shouchun, and I have reported it in time, saying that I have sent my secret letter to Ji Ling's hands, if nothing else, I think there should be an answer within half a month." β
"Good!" When Ma Zongheng heard this, he couldn't help but look shocked, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a bright smile. It turned out that not long ago, Ma Zongheng had discussed countermeasures with Guo Jia and Cheng Yu. At that time, Cheng Yuyu deliberately let Ji Ling go and betrayed his favor. Ma Zongheng listened to it, but there was no thunder and anger, and he was silent at first. Guo Jia explained it for Cheng Yu, only saying that the situation was dangerous at that time, and Ji Ling was the chief general under Yuan Shu, rather than killing Ji Ling and provoking Yuan Shu to attack Yanzhou for revenge, it was better to sell his favor, and there may be unexpected returns in the future. Ma Zongheng also thought of this very quickly, not only did not drink Cheng Yu's self-assertion, but also praised him for taking precautions. Cheng Yu was also very grateful for Ma Zongheng's trust, so he told his strategy, saying that Ji Ling was an upright person and had always hated fickle villains, and according to Fei Yu's meticulous work, Ji Ling had always been opposed to Yuan Shu's acceptance of Lu Bu. Therefore, Cheng Yu felt that he could plan and repair a secret letter to Ji Ling, explain Lu Bu's guilt in detail, and know the benefits and disadvantages. If Ji Ling can advise Yuan Shu and cut off Lu Bu's food supply, then Lu Bu, who is deep in the hinterland, will be in a dilemma. And when the time comes, Ma Zongheng will just come to catch turtles in an urn!
Cheng Yu's plan is not only vicious, but also very easy to put people to death. When Ma Zongheng and Guo Jia heard this, they were both frightened, but after coming back to their senses, they couldn't help but praise them.
"If Staff Cheng's plan can work, then it will naturally be able to be done once and for all, so his subordinates think that it is okay to stick to the city at the moment, and it has been delayed for a while to see what Yuan Shu decides in the end." Guo Jia smiled and immediately answered.
"Well, what Feng Xiao said is also reasonable, I don't know what you soldiers think?" Ma Zongheng listened, bowed slightly, and then set his eyes on the general's seat. Zhang and Pang quickly gave up their hands and said yes. Only Hu Che'er hesitated for a while, and when he saw that Zhang and Pang both said yes, they hurriedly agreed. Ma Zongheng smiled, and then it was a decision, and the soldiers of the sect ordered the troops to continue to strengthen their defenses and hold the city.
After a night, he said that Lu Bu's army made a detailed report, saying that Suiyang City was heavily guarded, and that he had strengthened his defenses last night. Lu Bu was obedient, couldn't help but be angry, and slapped the case with one palm, and suddenly the case made a 'snap' sound, and the two halves were split.
"Damn horse bandits!! It's simply a shrunken king!! How long does he want to take my wife!!? Seeing the furious look on Lu Bu's face, the generals were all indignant when they saw it, and they all persuaded Lu Bu to send troops to fight to the death with the horses. Lu Bu gritted his teeth, a pair of evil eyes shimmered, and when he saw that he was about to agree, he led the troops in, and when the generals saw Lu Bu's expression, they all shut up one after another, just waiting for Lu Bu to give the order.
At this moment, a sigh suddenly came from outside the tent.
"I knew that you were waiting for a group of martial artists, and there would be more than enough success, if I hadn't arrived in time, you would have been defeated if you waited for a light today!"
When the cold and arrogant voice sounded, a person immediately opened the curtain and walked in, only to see that this person was actually thin and weak, and his figure was extremely ordinary, and it could even be said that any soldier in the tent could easily tear him in half. But everyone dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, so they could only stare at each other.
The man felt the eyes of everyone, but he was not afraid, but snorted coldly: "I said that you wait, you are still not convinced!" Before I came, I went to Suiyang first, and Suiyang was heavily prepared, and it was by no means a day and a half to be done, so I was afraid that I had already prepared. Even if our army combines all its forces and storms for half a month, I am afraid that it will not be able to break through. Moreover, in Suiyang City, there is not only the ghost god Ma Xi guarding it, but also Zhang and Pang two brave generals. Our lord has no problem dealing with that horse, but I asked, who would dare to deal with Zhang and Pang!? β
As soon as these words came out, those soldiers who were originally fierce and evil immediately changed color and bowed their heads and remained silent. Seeing this, the man sighed slowly, and arched his hand to Lu Bu: "The lord is not the time to fight a rash decisive battle with the enemy, and please wait patiently for the opportunity." If your subordinates think of a way to break the enemy, they will report it immediately! β
When Lu Bu heard this, his dark and irritable expression gradually faded a lot, and after a long breath, he almost gritted his teeth and responded: "Okay!" Chen Gongtai, I believe you! β
But I saw that this person was Lu Bu's chief military advisor - Chen Gong is also!
Chen Gong was obedient, bowed down, and then sat down at the first place vacated by the left seat, and began to analyze the layout of Suiyang today with Lu Bu and the soldiers.
After several days, the two armies did not move, and at this time, the army led by Gao Shun finally arrived, and the strength of LΓΌ Bu's army was instantly expanded. Lu Bu was overjoyed, so he urgently summoned Chen Gong to discuss countermeasures. It is said that after Chen Gong analyzed the situation in Suiyang that day, he thought about countermeasures alone in the tent, and for several days, he did not leave the camp tent an inch.
A cadre of soldiers couldn't help but be surprised when they saw it. Gao Shun stood up even more suddenly, glared and exclaimed, "Strategist, you!" β
Chen Gong was obedient, smiled faintly, and said, "I'm fine, Boyi doesn't need to worry too much." β
At this time, when Lu Bu saw Chen Gong's appearance, he also changed color for a while, and said, "Gongtai has worked hard for you." β
"Thank you for your concern. It is the duty of the lord to trust his subordinates in every way, and his subordinates to serve wholeheartedly. Chen Gong's face froze, and he bowed solemnly. Lu Bu then ordered him to sit down at the table. Chen Gong received the order, and as soon as he sat down, everyone turned their eyes over. Chen Gong knew that everyone put the hope of breaking through Suiyang on themselves, and couldn't help but say with a strong spirit: "I think Suiyang City is solid, if you want to attack strongly, not only will it lose troops, but it will also be extremely time-consuming, and the outcome is still very unpredictable, so this is a last resort." However, if you can lure the enemy into battle, the two armies can fight each other, if you can defeat their army, break their spirit, and when their morale is low, they can attack the city, you can get twice the result with half the effort, this is the best policy. And the best policy is undoubtedly that our army can arrange for the fine work to enter Suiyang, secretly respond, and open the city gate. Or it can make the generals of the other army defect, it is also possible. In this way, once our army enters Suiyang, the other army will naturally be in chaos, and our army will fight to the death with it, and the chance of victory will be six to seven percent! That's the best way to go! β
Chen Gongyi sat down, and then said the next policy, the middle policy, and the best policy together. Everyone listened to it, but they all felt quite embarrassed. Lu Bu was also silent. Gao Shun's face tightened, and he said hurriedly: "But Suiyang is heavily guarded, and it is impossible for our army to mix in." Moreover, Ma Zongheng has great prestige in the army, and Ma Jiajun's Yulu has always been rich, and the soldiers under his command are all loyal to him, and then there are Ma Zongheng's vicious eyes, almost all of his subordinates are loyal and righteous, and there are few traitors, if you want to defect to his soldiers, I am afraid it is even more difficult to ascend to the sky! I'm afraid I won't be able to use it! β
What Gao Shun said is exactly what the generals think. Soon Cao Xing immediately responded: "Besides, the other army is like a cloud, and the soldiers and horses are strong, even if they can be lured out, I am afraid that the victory or defeat will be five or five." Moreover, the enemy army has a city to rely on, but in case of emergency, it can also be withdrawn. It is also extremely difficult to drive in the middle of the road. β
As soon as Cao Xing's words came out, all the soldiers seemed to be quite shocked, and they all changed color secretly, and their morale was very low in an instant.
"Humph!" At this time, Lu Bu suddenly snorted coldly, his evil eyes were full of coldness, and he turned to Chen Gong and said, "Chen Gongtai, it seems that I have mistaken you for believing you." β
