Chapter 109: A Game Within a Plan (2)

"Li Shen, King of Qin, is in Cai's Mountain!"!

Just when Qi Chengyang's revelations were shocked, in the house of Zhou Jun Coach Xie An, Liu Qingzheng proudly showed her opinion in front of Xie An.

"Cai's Mountain? What is Li Shen doing in Cai's Mountain? Taking a sip of tea, Xie An asked a question similar to Qi Zhi's.

Liu Qing chuckled when she heard this, and said, "Because Li Shen knows, I am very likely to send troops to attack Maicheng!" -- With the general of the White Water Army, Thunder sitting at the head of Maicheng City, our army does not have much chance to conquer this city, but according to the prudent character of Li Shen, the king of Qin, he will not stay in Maicheng, which is about to become a battlefield... Therefore, after seeing Qi Zhi, he would leave the city overnight and take refuge in the nearby Cai's Mountain! -- This is the safest way! ”

"Not really, right?" Touching his chin, Xie An said with a strange expression, "According to the news sent by Fei Guo, that the general of the White Water Army is quite remarkable, and he is chasing after his eldest brother and Wu'er by force, with this person in charge, will King Li Shen of Qin worry about the fall of the city?" ”

"Most of the cities will not fall, but don't forget, Xie Shangshu, there are two groups of assassins by your side, Dongling and Jinling, and this matter can't be hidden from Li Shen... ・・・Based on Li Shen's cautious and prudent character, he will inevitably consider what if you send an assassin to assassinate him under the guise of calling Cheng Yang to attack Maicheng at night? - Array Thunder is different from Brother Chen, Brother Chen can be a cameo assassin, but Array Thunder can't, he is a pure martial artist, just like Sister Xiao Wu...... Martial artists are not foolproof against assassins, not to mention that when the time comes, the thunder will be responsible for dealing with Chengyang, so who will guarantee his Li Shen's life? ”

"When you say that, it's..." Xie An nodded convincingly, after all, he did think about whether he could use the power of the Dongling people and the Jinling people to eradicate the Qin King Li Shen, but unfortunately, the assassination trick was not only done to Li Shen by the former crown prince Li Wei How many times, but as a result, Li Shen didn't live well?

Li Shen, the king of Qin・・・・・・ that was a man who would put his life and safety first in everything, and it was impossible for him to assassinate him.

"Then how do you know it's Cai's Mountain?" Xie An asked suspiciously.

"It's very simple, because you can see the whole picture of Wheat City from Cai's Mountain! ――Didn't you say that Li Shen is cautious, he cares about his own life, but he can't completely ignore Maicheng, even if Maicheng only has a chance of Xiaoyu Yicheng making any mistakes・・・・・・ in this case, he is bound to choose a safe place where he can see the whole picture of Maicheng, and only Cai's Mountain meets his requirements! ”

"Papapa・・・・・・" Xie An was amazed when he heard this, and couldn't help but applaud, in his opinion, Liu Qing's grasp of Li Shen's character was simply thorough.

Looking at Xie An's exclamated expression, Liu Qing's little face was full of joy, and she hummed and put on an invincible appearance. On the side, Qin Ke'er looked at Xie An on the left and Liu Qing on the right, and pouted unconsciously.

Xie An didn't notice Qin Ke'er's strange eyes, touched his chin and pondered, "If everything is as you say, then Cheng Yang will earn a great merit this time, ・・・・・・ treat him so favorably?" When he said the last sentence, Xie An looked at Liu Qing with a smile.

Liu Qing snorted lightly and did not explain the reason. In fact, the reason is very simple, after all, in the Great Liang Army, only Cheng Yang gradually became trusting her, and that's it.

Seeing this, Xie An didn't care, after all, he could guess this kind of thing, in fact, the reason why Cheng Yang was asked to serve as Liu Qing's bodyguard before was nothing more than to ease the tension between Liu Qing and the Great Liang Army, and now, there has been a general in the Great Liang Army who believes in and supports Liu Qing, and Xie An is also quite happy. After all, the Great Liang Army is different from the Jizhou Army, and there are some things, even if the generals of the Great Liang Army respect Xie An, they may not compromise because of this, and Xie An needs to try to do some work from it.

"Calculate the time, Cheng Yang should have already gone to Cai's Mountain・・・・・・ eh, wait a minute, did you tell Qi Zhi about this?" As if thinking of something, Xie An asked Liu Qing suspiciously.

The smile on Liu Qing's face stiffened when she heard this, she bit her lip and whispered, "No, I asked Cheng Yang to tell Qi Zhi when I set off......"

"......" Xie An glanced at Liu Qing in surprise.

Obviously, Qi Zhi was one of the most loyal generals under Liu Qing's command before, but now he trusts Cheng Yang more than this person?

Sighing slightly, Xie An said in a low voice, "They... ・・・I betrayed you, didn't I? ”

“… Liu Qing bit her lip, a look of pain flashed in her eyes, and after being silent for a while, she said bitterly, "Even so, it's common sense, isn't it?" To be precise, I betrayed them first・・・・・・" As she spoke, she raised her head, looked at Xie An and said in an extremely serious tone, "For you, I betrayed even the generals who were loyal to me・・・・・・"

"What do you ・・・・・・ want to say?" Xie An shifted his position with some uneasiness, after all, Liu Qing's words were easy to misunderstand.

Seeing Xie An's expression, Liu Qing was stunned, then her face turned red, and she scolded angrily, "Where did you think of it?!" ―I just want to say that when you lead the army to Jiangdong to call troops with Wu Heng in the future, if you don't support me to continue to serve as a military advisor, I will ・・・・・・ bite you to death! ”

After saying the last three words, she couldn't help but blush a little, after all, she really had nothing to use to threaten Xie An.

“… Looking at Liu Qing's appearance that looked like the little girl Wang Xin when she was angry, Xie An was angry and funny, and he finally gradually understood why Liu Qing, who was so smart, was able to play well with the stupid girl Wang Xin and become good friends.!

"Okay, this house promises you! ―As long as you wait for the government to defeat Li Shen, the king of Qin, and when you fight Wu Heng in the future, you will be the commander of my three armies! ”

"That's pretty much it!" Liu Qing snorted lightly and glanced at Xie An proudly, but the flush on his face did not necessarily subside slightly.

―At the same time, the top of Cai's Mountain-

As Liu Qing guessed, Li Shen, the king of Qin, really took a group of guards to drink and enjoy the snow on the top of Cai's Mountain, waiting for the Zhou army's surprise soldiers to attack Maicheng at night.

"Your Highness, will the Zhou army really attack Maicheng at night?" Sun Ji, the general who served as the commander of the guard, asked with a puzzled expression.

"Of course!" Li Shen smiled slightly, and said in a condensed voice, "This king has created such a wonderful opportunity for her to break the game, if she is indifferent, she is not worthy of being called the Heavenly Ji of the Four Concubines, is she worthy of being a divine military master comparable to the woman of the eldest grandson Xiangyu......"

"Your Highness created it for her? ――The last general didn't understand, wasn't this plan proposed by Qi Zhi, the remnant of the Taiping Army? ”

"What do you think?" Glancing at Sun Ji, Qin King Li Shen asked lightly.

"Isn't it?" A little puzzle flashed in his eyes, and Sun Ji lowered his voice and said, "The reason why the three army commanders Chen Zhao, Huang Shou, and Fu Ao attacked the main camp of the Zhou army at night is not to cooperate with Qi Zhi and Xu Le, the remnants of the Taiping Army who surrendered to the Zhou army, to defeat the main force of the Zhou army and capture its commander Xie An?" ――What does this have to do with Liu Qing's night attack on my Maicheng? ”

"Humph!" With a chuckle, Li Shen raised his cup and took a sip.

Seeing this, Sun Ji had an idea, and said in shock, "Could it be that Qi Zhi is cheating? ”

"Qi Zhi?" Li Shen laughed when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Although I can't talk about loyalty to this king, that guy's anger towards Liu Qing can't be wrong!" - Liu Qing played too much, and actually helped Zhou Jun to deal with this king...... Qi Zhi and Xu Le are both diehard loyalists in the Taiping army, how can they tolerate the coexistence of the Zhou army in the same battalion with the enemy of life and death? ”

"Then General ・・・・・・ doesn't understand......" Sun Ji shook his head in surprise.

Shaking his head slightly, Li Shen played with the wine cup in his hand and said lightly, "Qi Zhi's move to put the place of death and come back to life is indeed a wonderful move!" - If nothing else, he must have sensed Liu Qing's suspicion of them, so he simply told Liu Qing the truth that they had taken refuge in this king, in exchange for Liu Qing's trust, which is rare for such a witty general! ――The Taiping Army's Yuheng Divine General Qi Zhi...... It's really good・It's a big general who can take charge of himself, and a handsome talent! But compared to Liu Qing, he is much worse... ・・・”

"According to the king, Liu Qing has already learned that Qi Zhi and Xu Le have two hearts, but she didn't say anything, it seems that she listened to Qi Zhi's lies, but in fact, she is just calculating, and wants to use Qi Zhi's strategy to calculate this king... According to Qi Zhi's plan, Chen Zhao, Huang Shou, and Fu Ao attacked the three sides of the Zhou army's main camp Ice City at the same time, and Qi Zhi and Xu Le, who were in the Zhou army's main camp Ice City, should cooperate with each other, which seemed to be a good plan, but in fact, Chen Zhao, Huang Shou, and Fu Ao couldn't get rid of Tang Hao, Liang Cheng, and Wang Huai's three generals at all, ・・・・・・

Why is that? ――Is the Great Liang Army so strong that it can be compared to my White Water Army? ”

"It's not a question of the strength of the army, if on weekdays, even if it's 20,000 against 20,000, any commander of my White Water Army can easily defeat the three Liang armies with 20,000 people each... After all, the Great Liang Army is only a local powerhouse, not as good as the Jizhou Army...... But now the weather is cold, not only the strength of the Zhou army has been greatly reduced, from the vicinity of Maicheng to the main camp of the Zhou army, even if it is my Baishui soldiers, it is inevitable that it will be difficult to exert the usual strength because of the stiffness of the ten fingers frozen in the night wind, so that even if the number of people is equal, Chen Zhao and they will not be able to defeat or get rid of the blocking forces of the Zhou army in a short time......"

"This ・・・・・・ is ・・・・・・," Sun Ji nodded in realization.

After taking a sip of wine, Qin King Li Shen continued, "In fact, even if Chen Zhao and the three of them can get rid of Tang Hao and the other three interceptors, this king will not dare to easily ask them to attack the main camp of the Zhou army at night, Ice City, do you know why? ”

"The Last Will Not Know ......"

"It's easy!" Grabbing the wine jug and pouring it full, Li Shen said with a smile, "Do you know why the Ma Dan army on the right side of the Zhou army didn't attack Dangyang County?" ”

"This ・・・・・・" Sun Ji thought for a moment and said tentatively, "Isn't it because you can't attack it?" ”

"It's not that I can't attack, it's just that I didn't think about attacking......" Drinking all the wine in the cup, Li Shen Zhengse said, "Ma Dan's martial arts and ability to command troops are all at the level of a general, but what this person is best at is sneak attacks!" Don't think that Ma Dan didn't attack Dangyang because he couldn't conquer it, if he really fought, that guy could take Dangyang at any time, he didn't take Dangyang's 30,000 feudal troops in his eyes at all! -- Don't take the yang, just to paralyze our army, so that the king is careless!

What a clever tactic!

If Ma Dan takes Dangyang, Dangyang's 20,000 or 30,000 vassal troops will retreat to the main army of this king, so that although our army has added a defeat, but there are more than 10,000 troops around this king, and what did the Zhou army get? It's just an ordinary county town in Dangyang!

As far as the current situation is concerned, Dangyang County is just chicken ribs, tasteless food, and it is a pity to abandon it, if that Ma Dan really captured Dangyang, he must divide his troops to defend this county, otherwise this move of capturing Dangyang with great sacrifices will become meaningless!

In this way, although Ma Danjun won a battle, he was tied to death in Dangyang...... Not everyone can take and put it down!

Although our army won a defeat, the king was able to add more than 10,000 troops around him, and although Ma Dan took Dangyang, he lost his troops and was bolted to Dangyang, which can no longer help the main battlefield here...... This is the main battlefield! - Ten Dangyang, none of them can recover the defeat on the main battlefield! ”

"That's ・・・・・・ so・・・・・・," Sun Ji nodded in realization.

"So Liu Qing is very smart, that Ma Dan's grasp of the battle situation is also quite keen, they deliberately keep Dangyang Ma Danjun, just like a poisonous snake hidden in the grass, swallowing the snake letter is always staring at the king, once the king shows the slightest flaw, then this poisonous snake will fly up directly and bite the king's neck!

Think about that day, that guy set out from the valley, bypassed Dangyang, and came directly to the rear of our army company camp...... If it weren't for the thunder to personally cover the retreat of the army, and Ma Dan would not dare to act rashly, I am afraid that after Tang Hao and Fei Guo, our army company and battalion will face a third catastrophe!

What a pity! He bypassed Dangyang that time, but it didn't have any effect・・・・・・ even if he retreated and returned to the vicinity of Dangyang at that time, his tactics had been exposed, but, on the other hand, because of this, this king was no longer too close to the main camp of the Zhou army, let alone implement the plan of combining the inside and the outside according to Qi Zhi......"

"Does Your Highness mean that if our army really uses the strategy of combining the inside and the outside, the right flank of the Zhou army is biased towards the Ma Dan army, it will sneak attack the rear of our army at any time?"

"Of course! --Sneak attack on the main army of the king without warning・This was originally his real purpose of not taking Dangyang, but not only Ma Dan's army, but also Fei **, who confronted Li Bo, the prince of Qiuyang, in Zhijiang, may also divide his troops again...... Last time, didn't our army suffer a big loss because of this? -- Li Bo can't stop Fei Guo, the left side of the Zhou army may get rid of our army's side division at any time, so Qi Zhi's so-called clever plan is just a way to kill himself! ”

"No wonder・・・・・・ no wonder His Highness said that he didn't dare to attack the main camp of the Zhou army easily......"

Glancing at Sun Ji who was muttering to himself, Li Shen said lightly, "Liu Qing knows, this king can calculate that she made a surprise attack on our army's Maicheng・・・・・・ think about it, Xie An's main army is 80,000, and a few days ago it divided 60,000 soldiers, and now another surprise army is sent to attack our army's Maicheng, is the main camp of the Zhou army empty?" ”

"yes......"

"Liu Qing is not stupid, how can he expose the main camp with empty troops in front of this king? - If nothing goes wrong, the Zhou army's Ma Dan army and Fei ** should have already marched in the direction of the Zhou army's main camp, as long as our army dares to set foot in its main camp, then our army will be attacked by Ma Dan and Fei ** from all directions...... This is called please enter the urn! At the same time, when Chen Zhao, Huang Shou, and Fu Ao were dragged near the main camp of the Zhou army, Liu Qing's strange army would take Maicheng! ”

"I see!" Sun Ji gasped in surprise when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, and muttered, "Huh? The strength of our army in the main battlefield here is higher than Xie An's main force, how can it be disadvantageous to our army? - Partial teacher! ”

"That's right, it's a partial teacher!" Glancing approvingly at Sun Ji, Li Shen chuckled and said, "The battle situation is not favorable to our army, because the two partial divisions of the Zhou army, the Ma Dan army and Fei ** will all be put into the main battlefield, but the two partial divisions of our army・・・・・・ the 20,000 soldiers of Dangyang and the 30,000 soldiers of Zhijiang will not be of any help, this is not a situation of 150,000 against 150,000, but the 150,000 of the Zhou army against our army of 90,000!" -- This is exactly the tactic that Changsun Xiangyu is used to, even if the strength of the two armies is equal, it can create a situation in which more and less are fought in a local area in a short period of time, and it is also Liu Qing's usual tactic! ”

"Your Highness is wise!" Sun Ji clenched his fists and complimented him sincerely.

At this moment, the guards on the hill suddenly heard an alarm signal.

"Report! - Your Highness, a large number of Zhou troops have appeared under the mountain, which has blocked Cai's Mountain and is coming towards the mountain! ”

"What?" Sun Ji, who was busy complimenting Li Shen, the king of Qin, heard that his face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Why did the Zhou army appear here?" ――Zhou Jun...... Could it be the strange soldier of the Zhou army? Wait, isn't the Road Soldier supposed to go to Wheat City? ”

“… ・・・" A trace of gloom flashed in the eyes of Li Shen, the king of Qin, and it disappeared in a flash, silently raising the wine cup and drinking a glass.

"Your Highness, retreat quickly! I'm afraid that His Highness's matter in Cai's Mountain has been exposed! Sun Ji, who was shocked in his heart, kowtowed and clenched his fists, imploring his lord to retreat.

Covering up the inexplicable haze before, King Li of Qin stood up suddenly, with a somewhat panicked look on his face, gritted his teeth and said, "Unbelievable...... Liu Qing can calculate this king to such a point? ”

And at this moment, an endless number of Zhou troops poured up on the mountain, and the first general was Cheng Yang of the Great Liang Army, holding a war knife and pointing at Li Shen, the king of Qin, and shouted.

"Anti-king Li Shen, where to go?!"

"Your Highness, retreat quickly!" Sun Ji shouted loudly and pulled out his sword to fight Chengyang, but when he saw Chengyang raise his hand and point, he was immediately cut into pulp by the rushing Zhou soldiers.

The difference in numbers is too great......

Li Shen, the king of Qin, only had a few hundred Baishui soldiers around him as guards, but the troops led by Cheng Yang had more than 10,000 troops.

In just a blink of an eye, Li Shen's escort army was killed by the Zhou army.

Li Shen, the king of Qin, turned pale as he found that he had been surrounded by an endless number of Zhou legions.
