Liu Yan walked out of the room with a dark face, and was finally persuaded by Chu Shenxia's words, Jiankang has sufficient troops, it is more than enough to protect the emperor and ministers, and it is located in the center of the Southern Song Dynasty, whether it is the Northern Yan Wei State or Liang Lu, it is impossible to fight Jiankang.

But after all, the Imperial Forest Army is an army that protects the palace and the royal family, and has been by the emperor's side for a long time.

Just when Liu Yan was ready to leave Bian Zhou and chase after the emperor's men, an urgent report came from the front.

Jincheng is lost!

Lu Zhi looked very cramped and uneasy, kept pacing back and forth, clapped his palms, and seemed to have made up his mind: "I'll hurry up and chase back His Highness, the three armies must be without a handsome, no matter what, His Highness is also in the heart of the army." ”

Saying that, he ran outside, Wang Qin hurriedly called out to him, glanced at Chu Shenxia and said, "What are you in a hurry, wait a little longer, there will always be a way." ”

Although he said it to Lu Zhi, the people in the room had already seen his eyes, and they all followed to look at Chu Shenxia.

Although the people in this room are all generals and captains with official positions, there are very few who have been on the battlefield, and at this moment, seeing that the commander Wang Qin values him so much, he also follows Chu Shen Xia as the horse's head.

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Chu Shenxia groaned and asked, "How long is the fastest horseback ride from Jincheng to Bian Zhou?" ”

"One... One day..."The general of the palace, Meng Chiwu, replied, and then threw a puzzled look at everyone.

"It seems that Wei intends to drive Beiyan to my Southern Song Dynasty this time, originally according to this situation, Jincheng will have to be lost in two or three days." Chu Shenxia took two steps, walked to the map, looked at the cities on the map, and frowned slightly.

Wang Qin saw that Chu Shenxia was deep in thought, so he instructed others: "The news of the loss must be kept, and it must not be revealed at all." ”

Du Lan, the commander of the forbidden army, said: "I'm afraid it's not easy, who can block it?" I'm afraid that the news has spread in several states near Jincheng. ”

"I'm asking you to seal the news and not spread it to Liang Guo, if Liang Guo learns that Jincheng has fallen, what do you say they will do?!" Although Wang Qin's voice was not loud, his words were very heavy.

Du Lan is also a person who knows a little bit, and said with a red face: "Don't hesitate anymore, attack Bian Zhou immediately." ”

Chu Shenxia saw that he was busy and would not take care of himself, so he turned around and returned to the sand table, and was contemplating it, Wang Qin had already come over, and asked with full anger, "How is it?" ”

Chu Shenxia was stunned, his train of thought was interrupted, and he shook his head, Wang Qin sighed a little frustratedly, his eyes fell on the sand table, and he said: "The marching army retreated to Chenzhou, they are on the left, and we are on the right, if it weren't for the Liang State already eyeing the city gate, we would definitely be able to recapture Jincheng together." ”

"Beiyanding is coming to the southeast, and wants to attack my Bian Zhou with Liang State, so it seems that we can't wait for His Highness to come back, and we must immediately send troops to attack Luoyang."

Several people were shocked, almost shocked to look at Chu Shenxia, although Chu Shenxia told Liu Yan about this idea, but did not tell them, originally wanted to last a few days, and waited until Liu Yan came back with the troops to implement it, but the situation in front of him could not wait, and if there was a slight mistake, it would be a catastrophe.

Before Liu Yan left, he privately instructed Wang Qin that if something big happened, everything would follow Chu Shenxia's advice.

Although Wang Qin had Liu Yan's orders, he really had to believe in Chu Shenxia without worry, where could he do it? When the next face was very tangled, looking at everyone, everyone reacted like this.

Du Lan was the first to jump out and object, shook his head violently and said: "Our troops are limited, and we don't know who will die or live in a battle with Luoyang, even if we win by luck, how can we have people and horses to defend the city again, it is better to save our energy, so as not to be attacked by Beiyan and Liang Guo on both sides, and we are powerless to fight back." ”

Wang Qin nodded involuntarily, Chu Shenxia suddenly cast two sharp glances from the side, and Wang Qin's heart jumped suddenly.

Chu Shenxia tried his best to control his emotions, and said in a subtle tone: "We don't do anything, we are just waiting for death, you can naturally think like that, after all, Beiyan has not yet attacked, and Liang Guo has not really launched an attack on Bian Zhou, and the sword has not been cut on the body, so you can't feel pain." But have you ever thought about it, what if His Highness didn't bring back reinforcements? How can we save ourselves? Abandon the city and flee? ”

"No, the emperor spoils His Highness like that, and His Highness will definitely bring troops back." Du Lan hooked the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a smile, as if he was very confident in Liu Yan.

Chu Shenxia didn't know that he was in a catastrophe when he saw him, and his tone suddenly became a little mocking, "Even if Your Highness can bring back soldiers and horses on this trip, it is doomed that we abandon the city and flee." ”

"Why?"

"Like you, you are so timid, resting on your laurels, and looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements, how can Bian Zhou hold on, it is better to retreat all the way and retreat to the corner to meet your wishes." Chu Shenxia didn't look at him, his eyes always fell on the sand table.

"You ......" Du Lan is the most talkative person in the forbidden army, and he is also the person with the best face, and now he is ridiculed in front of everyone like this, but he can't talk back, anger surges, and he draws the knife on his waist with a cold snort.

"What are you going to do?!" Wang Qin stood in front of Chu Shenxia and shouted.

This drink regained him a little sobriety, Wang Qin glared at him, motioned him to put the sword back, and then scolded in a low voice: "Look at you, where is there a captain?" ”

Wang Qin turned to Chu Shenxia and changed his tone, and asked, "Luoyang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, what good way do you have?" ”

"Night raids, looting grain and grass, arson, dividing the soldiers into three factions, and carrying them out at the same time, caught the Liang army off guard." Chu Shenxia said lightly.

"Hmph, none of them are right." Du Lan said angrily.

Wang Qin threw another glance at him, Du Lan turned his head and pretended not to see it, Chu Shenxia had no intention of arguing with him, and pointed to the rockery in the sand table: "Along the Luohe River, all the way to Mingshan, bypassing Mingshan, it is near Luoyang City, where the defense must be strong, so the soldiers sent to seek refinement are not to seek more, to mix into the city, to set fire in many places, of course, the bigger the fire, the better, big enough to attract these soldiers under Bian Zhou City." ”

When several people heard him say this, they thought it was very interesting, and couldn't help but ask, and Du Lan, who was still unwilling to do so, also cast a look.

"They have been guarding outside the gate of Bian Zhou for the past few days, there is no movement, as we all know, they are waiting, waiting for the news of the fall of Jincheng to come. The Liang army didn't know how many troops I had in Bian Zhou now, and Jincheng was killed, so he naturally thought that most of the troops had gone to the direction of Jincheng, so he guessed that we didn't have many troops. I didn't expect us to sneak attack, and although we were prepared at night, we could also make them embarrassed. ”

Wang Qin nodded very approvingly, and interjected: "The Liang army is indeed cunning, if you don't wait for the news of the loss of Jincheng to come, you won't do it for a day, and they will be able to take the opportunity to swallow one or two of our cities if Jincheng is lost. ”

After saying this, Wang Qin noticed that everyone's focus shifted from Chu Shenxia to himself, thinking that he still had to rob grain and grass to say, he hurriedly said, "You go on." ”

"Snatching grain and grass is undoubtedly the most difficult step." Chu Shenxia glanced at the people who were concentrating, paused, and continued: "I haven't thought of it yet. ”

Everyone nodded habitually, reacted, and then raised their heads and looked at Chu Shenxia in surprise, he had put forward his own statement, but he hadn't thought of a way yet.

Du Lan, who had just secretly praised Chu Shenxia, sneered at this moment, and showed contempt again.

Lu Zhi said coldly, "Why don't you send a team of elite soldiers to the Liang army and smuggle in the grain and grass?" ”

Meng Chiwu retorted: "It is indeed feasible to infiltrate the Liang army, but sending too many will reveal flaws, but it will make the Liang army wary, and the whole plan will be much more difficult. ”

"I think it's possible, what do you think?" Wang Qin nodded and looked at Chu Shenxia.

His question was quite smooth, but there was a hint of awkwardness in the eyes of everyone, if the person in front of him was Liu Yan, their boss, Wang Qin's question was naturally understandable, but after all, it was Chu Shenxia who had no official position in front of him.

Chu Shenxia noticed the strangeness of everyone, and bowed down to Wang Qin and said, "What General Meng said is reasonable, this matter is all up to the king's commander. ”

Wang Qin waved his hand nonchalantly, and said casually like a friend: "Why did you suddenly salute?" You are resourceful, and I should ask you too. ”

Chu Shenxia's heart jumped, fortunately, he did not say that he was deeply trusted by His Highness, although he was already a strategist of His Highness, he would definitely be a strategist who would not be able to step on the stage in the future. Now it attracts everyone's attention in front of people, but I am afraid that it will not be easy to act in the future.

Regarding the matter of robbing grain, in fact, he already had a better idea, so he didn't say it, but he didn't want to make the situation worse, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was not necessary to take this grain and grass, so it was better to act according to what General Meng said, and the credit at that time would also be pushed to him.

Wang Qin personally assigned the soldiers, and he led most of the forbidden army to raid the barracks where the Liang army was stationed tonight, at the right time, Chu Shenxia proposed to go to Luoyang City to set fire, Wang Qin heard him say this, and he wanted to send Meng Chiwu, who was originally sent to rob grain and grass, and Du Lan, who was sent to set fire to the city, before Du Lan objected, Chu Shenxia had already comforted him, and then he was successfully returned to Du Lan's team.

The arson team was under Du Lan's control, thinking that Chu Shenxia, who was eloquent and eloquent, was his subordinate, he couldn't help but have a smug look on his face, and Wang Qin's gaze wandered over the two of them for a long time, and he always felt not very relieved.

After everyone dispersed, Wang Qin grabbed Chu Shenxia and discussed: "Du Lan is not in agreement with you, I am afraid that this trip will be missed." ”

A corner of his clothes outside the door suddenly flashed, but he had already been caught by Chu Shenxia, he took a light look and said: "Du Duwei is a good-looking person, and he speaks impulsively, if Commander Wang sends him to mix into the Liang army, where will he be willing?" Even if he got in, where did he get reprimanded by Liang Jun according to his temper? It's not full of flaws, but the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Wang Qin frowned, "I'm not worried about this, I'm worried about ......"

Chu Shenxia saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, glanced outside the door out of the corner of his eye, laughed heartily a few times, and deliberately raised his voice and said: "Then Commander Wang doesn't have to worry, although Du Duwei speaks straightforwardly, he is still above board, so he won't find an opportunity to assassinate me there." ”
