"Lao Zhang, do you think Xu Shiji will come after us?" The army marched slowly, but Cheng Biting Jin was impatient, looking behind him a little nervously, although this situation has happened many times, but this time, Cheng Biting Jin wanted to attack Caozhou, and many siege equipment had been built, just waiting for Zhang Zhenzhou's order. But who would have thought that Li Xin's holy decree would come, and the army would slowly retreat.

"The emperor has already prepared, what are you afraid of?" Zhang Zhenzhou said nonchalantly. Although I don't know what Li Xin thinks, since Li Xin has made arrangements, there must be nothing wrong.

"That's what I said, Xu Shiji must not be allowed to run away this time, I have blown it in front of the emperor, I must catch Xu Shiji." Cheng Yanjin glanced around, and finally approached Zhang Zhenzhou and said, "Lao Zhang, I don't know if you have heard of it, the emperor may divide the generals in the future." ”

"Partition? No way? How could the emperor tear the earth and seal the king? That's just the Li family, or the prince of the Yang family, it's still possible, how can it be possible to divide us and others? Zhang Zhenzhou was stunned when he heard this, shook his head and said: "Even if it is you, the prince, the prince, etc., you are only taking salaries, and you will not tear the earth and be knighted!" How could His Majesty the Emperor seal the Central Plains to us? We are loyal to Your Majesty, but will our descendants still be loyal to Your Majesty? With land, ambition explodes. Wasn't that the case of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period back then? The emperor worked hard to conquer the world, is it just to make the world fall into a state of division again? ”

"Naturally, I'm not talking about the Central Plains, even if the emperor wants to seal the Central Plains to me Cheng biting gold, I don't dare to ask for it, isn't that a fatal thing? The emperor divided the feudal areas outside the Saiwai, such as the grassland, Goguryeo and the like. Cheng Yanjin said with great interest: "Lao Zhang, although he is in the land of barbarians. But it's also a feudal country! It can be regarded as a land split! Isn't it happy that my old Cheng family can also have a permanent land? ”

"Where did you hear this news, it's a big deal!" Zhang Zhenzhou's mouth is open. This is indeed a big deal, if it spreads, the soldiers of the entire Tang Empire will go crazy, and they will keep encouraging His Majesty to attack the enemy.

"That's it." Cheng Yanjin said proudly: "This kind of thing can't be spread randomly. I Lao Cheng has been inquiring for a long time before I figure out this matter. Cheng Yanjin carefully admonished.

"No wonder General Cheng likes to fight so much, it turned out that he came for military merit." Only then did Zhang Zhenzhou understand why Cheng Yanjin wanted to fight, it turned out that he came for the future separation.

"I still want to get a fief for my old Cheng family! At this time, the greater the merit, the bigger the fief in the future, how about it, Lao Zhang, how about the fiefdom of our two families together in the future? Cheng Yanjin said with a smile: "You and I are friends of life and death, and the two families will often marry in the future." I heard that you have a girl in your family? ”

"You propose marriage to your iron bull?" Zhang Zhenzhou looked at Cheng Yanjin and said: "If it's like you, then forget it!" My daughter is very beautiful! ”

"What's wrong with my iron cow?" Cheng Biting Jin is waiting to continue. But seeing the sound of horses' hooves behind him, he turned around and looked over, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "I didn't expect this guy Shen Qianqiu to come in person." ”

"It seems that the emperor has arrived." Zhang Zhenzhou also saw Shen Qianqiu rushing in the distance, and he simply stopped, although he hated Shen Qianqiu, but no one dared to put up a fight in front of Shen Qianqiu.

"Chiaki has seen two generals." Shen Qianqiu said with a smile: "Xu Shiji has already led the army out of Caozhou, and it is only eighty miles away from the two generals. The two generals must quickly resist the ambush circle, otherwise. Xu Shiji is afraid that he will let the two generals know how powerful he is. ”

"General Shen, is Xu Shiji so powerful? Am I still afraid of him? Cheng Yanjin was a little unhappy when he heard this, and said slightly dissatisfied: "He has an army of 50,000, I have an army of 40,000, and I am still afraid of him?" ”

"What Xu Shiji is best at is attacking, at any time. Anywhere, if he catches the opportunity, he can launch a surprise attack on you, and after the attack, he will use all kinds of methods to defeat you. Shen Qianqiu analyzed: "Even if it's a positional battle." I'm afraid that General Cheng is not his opponent either, he has studied the Great General's Six Flower Array, although I don't know if he can put it down, but it is still possible to learn something from it. Otherwise, do you think Li Yuan will let him sit in Xingyang and Caozhou? ”

Zhang Zhenzhou and Cheng Yanjin looked solemn after hearing this, how powerful Jinyiwei is, the monitoring of Xu Shiji must be all-round, since Xu Shiji has told so many secrets, it must be true.

"When does the general think that Xu Shiji will attack us?" Zhang Zhenzhou said a little nervously.

"At night." Shen Qianqiu thought for a while and said, "According to my personal guess, he will attack you at night. Xu Shiji's best thing is this set, that is, His Majesty once said that Xu Shiji's military talent is not much worse than that of a general. ”

"Where is Your Majesty now?" Cheng Biting Jin's eyes rolled, and hurriedly asked.

"Where Your Majesty is, the last general doesn't know." Shen Qianqiu said with a smile, but there was a hint of inexplicability in his eyes, Zhang Zhenzhou and Cheng Yanjin glanced at each other, and immediately stopped talking.

As a courtier, how can you casually ask about His Majesty's whereabouts? As soon as Cheng Yanjin opened his mouth just now, he knew that something was wrong, and when Shen Qianqiu said this, his face turned red.

"Your Majesty will definitely appear in front of the two generals when necessary, what the two generals have to do now is how to maintain the integrity of the 40,000 army, although Qin Qiong's army has 100,000 troops, but Li Shentong also has 100,000 people, if you really kill them, I'm afraid you will also suffer heavy losses, and once Your Majesty and Qin Qiong appear in Shandong, Li Yuan is afraid that he will send a large army to Shandong to recapture Shandong, and there will still be a big war in the future." Shen Qianqiu carefully admonished.

"That's very good, General Cheng, you and I just need to stick to the camp and let Xu Shiji not get the opportunity." Zhang Zhenzhou smiled and said with relief: "Our soldiers and horses are actually not much different from Xu Shiji, unless it is a sudden attack, otherwise, they will not attack us at all." It won't break us even more. ”

"Yes, I'm still afraid that he Xu Shiji won't succeed?" Cheng Yanjin also laughed.

"Yes, yes." Shen Qianqiu also nodded and said.

"The order will go down, and the army will speed up and set up camp in Meiling." Zhang Zhenzhou said loudly.

Meiling is famous for many plum blossoms, Meiling is not big, but the surroundings of Meiling are extremely open, if Xu Shiji attacks, you can see very clearly on Meiling. This is also one of Zhang Zhenzhou's intentions to set up the camp in Meiling.

Xu Shiji, who was behind, soon knew that Zhang Zhenzhou had set up a camp in Meiling, and now the map of Meiling was also placed in front of him, he carefully looked at the terrain around Meiling, and his eyes flickered.

Meiling to the north, a horse Pingchuan, if he wants to raid, there is no chance at all, this must be the reason why Zhang Zhenzhou camped, he also knew that his arrival, Zhang Zhenzhou probably already knew.

"What if you knew? If Li Xin comes, I will naturally retreat, but since it is to return to Bianzhou, I will not care about it. Xu Shiji carefully read a large number of maps, his eyes flickered, and he quickly found a place.

"It is said that Zhang Zhenzhou is a general who is good at guarding, but when I look at it today, it is nothing more than that, and such a big flaw has not been found." Xu Shiji looked at the map, thought for a while, and said: "However, this situation is only known to General Ben, and others may not have thought of this!" Hehe, I'll teach you a lesson tonight. ”

Xu Shiji is not a simple person, after exploring the situation around Meiling, he can still see the shortcomings and loopholes in Zhang Zhenzhou's camp, which is not simple.

What Xu Shiji didn't know was that just behind him, in a valley, Li Xin was wearing black armor, and the soldiers around him were packing their bags.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready, just wait for Your Majesty's order." Yu Chigong strode over, still holding a flatbread in his hand, and said loudly.

"Are the soldiers rested? Tell the soldiers that after tonight, I will invite them to eat mutton steamed buns. Li Xin said loudly.

"Hehe, those guys heard that they were going to attack Xu Shiji, and they were already ready to do so, just waiting for His Majesty's order." Wei Chigong laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you have to count what you say, and you want to give us mutton steamed buns." ”

"Natural counts. At this time, I'm afraid Xu Shiji is laughing at Zhang Zhenzhou and them! Li Xin said indifferently: "To deal with someone like Xu Shiji, you have to give him a flaw, but this flaw can't be too obvious, and he can't see it at a glance, otherwise, he will definitely be suspicious." ”

In the same way, Zhang Zhenzhou also looked at the flaw in front of him and said: "Xu Shiji is a shrewd person, if we deliberately made a flaw and loophole, he would definitely suspect it, but this place is not deliberately made, but it is real." The front of Meiling is endless, we can see everything in front of us when we stand on Meiling, but Meiling has a lot of dry grass, at this time, if it can be burned over, the army will definitely have problems. This is an unchangeable fact, Xu Shiji is a smart person, how could he not see this, he will definitely come to burn Meiling tonight. ”

"So the general dug a trench around the camp? To block fireworks? Cheng Yanjin said in surprise.

"Not only that, but I will also take advantage of the fire to retreat from behind Meiling." Zhang Zhenzhou said proudly: "Under the fire, Xu Shiji can't see our movements clearly. We're going to trap him on Meiling. (To be continued.) )
