Although war is the usual way that troops can use when facing various enemies, war is not necessarily the only way to face the enemy, so for Jiao Liang's army to advance to the mountain road in Hekou County again, Tu Shengjun did not send troops to stop it again.

Because the purpose of the Tu Sheng army is not so much to eliminate the living force of the Jiao family army or the Mu family army, but to completely dispel the prestige of the Jiao family army, the Mu family army, and even the emperor of North Vietnam.

In comparison, not to mention the 20,000-strong Jiao Liang army, which is not worth the Tu Sheng army at all, with Mu Yan's successive fiascos as a guarantee, Tu Sheng can imagine what kind of huge pressure Tu Yang and the Beiyue imperial court will face because of this.

So on the contrary, Tu Sheng took the initiative to spread the news as quickly as possible in the direction of the capital, with the purpose of disturbing the shape of the Beiyue Imperial Court.

Because in the eyes of those generals, perhaps the 20,000 people of Jiao Liang's army are also a great military feat. But no matter how you say it, military merit is just military feats, and how can it compare to the turmoil caused by Mu Yan's successive defeats in the court of Beiyue.

Therefore, after Jiao Liang's troops completely disappeared from his sight, Tu Sheng, who was standing on the wall of Yaohe County, said with some spirit: "Master Cheng, you said that we should now think about when to attack Jiao's army?" Otherwise, if the response of the imperial court is not enough, we will not be able to get much benefit. ”

"That's for sure, but it's better to have more time to prepare, after all, Benzhou City is not so easy to capture."

“…… Benju City? Cheng Fuzi said that we are going to attack Benzhou City next? ”

Hearing Cheng You's careless words, not only Tu Sheng's eyes immediately widened. Yan Nan, who was standing on the side, also looked at him.

Because even if Benzhou City is not as strong as Yuzhou City, as a state city, it does not mean that it can be captured if it is captured. Of course, this doesn't mean that you can't do anything if you are prepared, it's just that Cheng You suddenly set his goal on Benzhou City, which really surprised Yan Nan.

But it was not surprising that everyone's surprised gaze, after retracting their eyes from the city, Cheng You said: "That's right, unless we capture Benzhou City, we can no longer prove the incompetence of the Jiao Jiajun and the little emperor of Beiyue in Benzhou." And after we captured the city of Benzhou. Not only is the court of the North Vietnamese Kingdom no longer able to cover up for the little emperor. It also makes perfect sense for us to find a real foothold in the future. ”

"A real foothold? Is Cheng saying that we should choose a real foothold? ”

Although there has been no decent discussion of this matter so far, after Tu Yang established the Yang Kingdom in Jinkou City, Tu Sheng was somewhat jealous.

After all, although Yangguo is just a name now, everyone can see Tuyang's ambitions.

That is to wait for the funeral of the Queen Mother. No one even spoke out to protect Yuzhou City. The Yangguo country can naturally replace Yuzhou City.

Especially with the strength of the Mu family's army that is now almost crippled by the Tusheng army. As long as Tu Yang can continue to suppress the development of Mu Yan and Mu Jiajun in Yuzhou, then when the Queen Mother of the Virgin is alive, no one can replace Mu Yan's status as the Bo of Yuzhou, and the Queen Mother of the First Class will be mourned. In the face of Mu Yan and Mu Jiajun, whose strength is worried, it is very simple for Tu Yang to obtain the ruling power of Yuzhou City and Yuzhou.

Therefore, thinking of attacking Mu Yan and Mu Jiajun is tantamount to helping Tu Yang, and Tu Sheng doesn't want to completely clean up Mu Yan now.

In Tu Sheng's expectation, Cheng You also nodded and said: "That's right, after capturing Benzhou City, we can then enter Xuzhou, and then as long as we maintain the threat to Lianzhou, we don't have to worry about where to put the main camp." ”

“…… Maintain the threat to Lianzhou? What does Cheng Fuzi mean that we will eventually put up the flag in Lianzhou? ”

Although Cheng You didn't say it explicitly, Yan Nan quickly caught the hidden meaning of Cheng You's words.

After all, Tu Shengjun not only rushed to Lianzhou at the beginning, if it weren't for the Queen Mother's words not to allow Tu Shengjun to enter Lianzhou, how could Tu Shengjun still succumb to Benzhou now.

And Tu Sheng also said with a light in his eyes: "I see, does Master Cheng mean that we can also wait for the funeral of the Queen Mother before officially entering Lianzhou to stand on our own feet?" ”

"That's right, compared to other places, Lianzhou is the real land of the eldest prince!"

Cheng Youwei nodded and said: "It's just that the Holy Mother Queen Mother has too much help from Tianyingmen, and the threat is too great, so we don't need to provoke the Holy Mother Queen Mother and Tianyingmen to prove our strength." And in the future, even if the eldest prince really owns the land of Lianzhou, he must also pacify the surrounding boundaries one by one. So now we are just reversing this process, first pacifying the surrounding boundaries and then taking Lianzhou! ”

"Good! Master Cheng is very good, great good! ”

After listening to Cheng You's plan for himself, Tu Sheng was really excited. Because even if there is a suspicion of learning Tuyang, maybe other people will mind this, but Tu Sheng really doesn't mind who learns or doesn't.

After all, even if Tu Yang has really taken the first step, not to mention that such a plan may not have been learned by Tu Yang from others, you must know that history can only be written by the victors.

Therefore, as long as Tu Sheng can finally take Lianzhou, the court of Beiyue and even the entire territory of Beiyue, Tu Sheng does not need to care about how he got this qiē.

And even if he didn't know about Tu Sheng's intentions, when the news of Mu Yan's defeat came back to Yaoxian, Jiao Xiong's face immediately changed. Because even if this defeat was more recorded on the heads of Mu Yan and the Mu family's army, because the Mu family's army suffered too much loss in Zhoukou County, seventy percent of Mu Yan's army was mainly composed of the Jiao family's army.

So when he thought that Jiao Jiajun had never suffered such losses before, but when Jiao Xiong handed over the troops to Mu Yan, who seemed to be trustworthy, he was buried so many people, Jiao Xiong wanted to scold Mu Yan for being incompetent, but he couldn't speak.

Because not to mention that it was Jiao Xiong who took the initiative to let Mu Yan serve as the commander of the coalition this time, I don't know how the Yan Qi army let the mountain fire only burn Mu Yan's army but not its own, and Jiao Xiong was replaced to command the team this time, I am afraid that it will not be able to escape the invasion of the mountain fire.

And Yao Zhao, who originally wanted to wait for Mu Yan to bring some good news before leaving, was even more annoyed at this time: "How is this possible? Could it be that Yuzhou Bo forgot to defend against the enemy's use of fire? ”

"No, it is impossible for Yuzhou Bo to forget to guard against the enemy's use of fire. It's just that I didn't expect the enemy to let those Jianghu people carry out the fire attack plan. And seeing that the Yan Qi army had laid a firebreak in front of the camp a little early, they obviously didn't do it out of a whim, but had already planned to use fire against Yuzhou Bo's team. ”

"Jianghu people? What is the difference between the fire attacks performed by the Jianghu people? ”

Although he knew that there was no point in discussing Mu Yan's victory or defeat now, he knew that he was going back to explain the situation to the emperor of Beiyue, Yao Zhao was also eager to understand the hidden truth.

And there was not only resentment in his eyes, but also depression, Jiao Xiong said helplessly: "It's very simple, if ordinary soldiers and ordinary troops are used to ignite the fire, the Yan Qi army can only ignite the fire from one direction at most." In this way, even if Yuzhou Bo will be trapped by the mountain fire, he may not be able to find the direction and method of breaking through. Unlike this time, because it was surrounded by wildfires from all sides from the beginning. Yuzhou Bo could only choose to attack the Yan Qi army, which had the upper hand. ”

“…… I see. This means that if the Jianghu people are used to carry out fire attacks, the general fire attack restrictions will no longer be useful? ”

As a common offensive and defensive strategy, not only military generals such as Jiao Xiong, but even civilian officials like Yao Zhao are familiar with some necessary matters for fire attack and fire attack. Therefore, it is clear that the ruthless cruelty of fire and water is clear. Yao Zhao also didn't think that the fire attack of ordinary soldiers could really be so light and threaten the survival of Mu Yan's army.

But the Yan Qi army not only did not use ordinary soldiers to carry out fire attacks this time. There are Jianghu people in Tu Shengjun. Yao Zhao didn't know how to guard against the other party's fire attack.

After hesitating for a while, Jiao Xiong also hesitated slightly: "Then in the future, we can only try to avoid fighting with the Yan Qi army in the mountains and forests suitable for fire attack, or rather." When the Yan Qi army showed signs of laying firebreaks, we had to choose to evacuate immediately. ”

“…… Signs of a firebreak? Could it be that General Jiao meant to mean the blockade scout behavior of the Yan Qi army in front? ”

Under Jiao Xiong's reminder, Yao Zhao also remembered a trivial incident mentioned in the intelligence!

Because in the situation of having already encountered a fire attack, this kind of reminiscence information may no longer have any value for the retreating Mu Yan army, but it is still a top priority for Jiao Xiong and Yao Zhao, who want to analyze how the Yan Qi army successfully defeated Mu Yanjun.

After all, Mu Yan can lose to Yan Qijun, but he can't lose to Yan Qijun all the time, and the same is true for Jiao Jiajun.

So nodding, Jiao Xiong said, "That's right! Although there are people in the rivers and lakes, the Yan Qi army can indeed achieve a perfect fire attack, but because this fire attack is too perfect, they must also take precautions in advance to set themselves on fire! After all, if it is a fire attack that injures 1,000 enemies and injures 800 itself, it doesn't make any sense. What's more, according to the intelligence, the Yan Qi army may also have the intention of using poisonous smoke, so when we really fight against the Tu Sheng army in the future, we must also try to occupy the advantageous position of the upper hand. ”

"General Jiao is very good, but the failure of Yuzhou Bo this time is really a pity, and there is still this golden thread snake venom ......"

Hearing Yao Zhao mention the venom of the golden thread snake or something, Jiao Xiong's face suddenly changed.

Because whether intentionally or unintentionally, after coming to Benzhou for so long, Jiao Xiong also knows nothing about the particularity of the golden thread snake and the venom of the golden thread.

Of course, this is not to say that Jiao Xiong does not pay attention to the collection of intelligence, but there are so many snakes in this world, Jiao Xiong may let his own soldiers and generals prepare some general snake medicine like Mu Jie in case of unpreparedness, but how can he focus on understanding a special snake that only lives near Yanshan Mountain.

Fortunately, this encounter with Mu Yan warned Jiao Xiong in time, even if Jiao Xiong himself didn't have the time and energy to pay attention to this matter, he was ready to let a few of his own soldiers focus on understanding this matter.

After all, as the saying goes, don't take small things for nothing.

Really losing in such a trivial matter, Jiao Xiong dared to conclude that Mu Yan must be more unwilling than being attacked by the fire of the Yan Qi army.

Because the fire attack is only a temporary matter after all, as long as Mu Yan can adjust it in time, he can give Yan Qijun a fierce revenge at any time. But the venom of the golden snake is a lifelong thing, and Mu Yan has no way to recover it. (To be continued......)
