Chapter 715: Digging a Pit

Syllable!

A crystal clear teacup was slammed to the ground by King Zuo Xian, shattered, King Zuo Xian's face was full of anger, he didn't care at all that his favorite cup was broken, he just stared at the scout who reported the news viciously and said, "What did you say?"

"General Zuo Tu's 200,000 vanguard army was completely annihilated. The scout looked at King Zuo Xian in horror, he already knew that the scout who had delivered the news of the annihilation of Zuo Ba's entire army had his head cut off by King Zuo Xian at that time, this time he was reluctant to come, he was the least qualified and weakest in the scout camp, so he could only be sent to death.

"Annihilation?" King Zuo Xian said angrily: "What a total annihilation!"

King Zuo Xian pulled out his knife violently and slashed it down, and the scout closed his eyes and waited for death, but King Zuo Xian's knife stopped at the last moment, and the scout who escaped death was covered in a cold sweat, and he looked at King Zuo Xian with a look of fear.

"Tell me, how did Zuo Tu's army be wiped out this time?How many Qin troops did he kill?" Zuo Xian Wang calmed his anger slightly, his previous killing of the scout who reported the news had already caused some bad influence in the army, and his ears and eyes had already reported the news to him, so this time Zuo Xian Wang held back his anger and gave this scout another chance.

"General Zuo Tu fell for the trick of the Qin army, and he led the army into the killing array carefully prepared by the generals of the Qin army, and was wiped out by the whole army killed by the formation. The scout said and peeked at King Zuo Xian, and whispered: "Not a single Qin army was damaged in this battle. ”

"What!" King Zuo Xian said angrily: "One person is not damaged, one person is not damaged, is he Zuo Tu not eating?

Wow!

A bright sword light fell, and the scout kneeling in front of King Zuo Xian undoubtedly became a victim of King Zuo Xian's anger.

"Faint King!"

The scout called out the words that had been held in his heart for a long time at the last moment when his head left his body, and then he watched his head get farther and farther away from his body.

After King Zuo Xian killed this scout, he was even more angry and said: "I dare to say that this king is a faint king, come here, destroy the whole clan of this scout, let him grow the morale of the enemy army, and destroy the prestige of our army!"

"No!"

King Zuo Xian killed the scout, and after ordering the scout to be wiped out, he was still angry, holding a knife and looking left and right, that was to see that everyone wanted to cut it with a knife, but the people around him were his henchmen, so no one could kill, and finally King Zuo Xian violently waved his knife and cut a table in front of him in half, and said angrily: "The Qin army is too deceitful!"

At this moment, King Zuo Xian completely forgot that it was he who raised his troops to invade Great Qin, and only remembered that his 400,000 troops died on the way to conquer Yunzhong City, and the casualties of the Qin army were only more than 30,000 people, which was simply a fiasco!

If this kind of miserable white spread, King Zuo Xian could even imagine what his status would be in the hearts of the people of the grassland, this was a defeat casualty that had not occurred in the grassland for decades, and this defeat was enough to shake the foundation of King Zuo Xian's rule over the entire eastern grassland.

Especially at this pass where the overlord bow of Tiemu Town is alive, if someone makes a fuss among the people of the eastern grassland, King Zuo Xian has even seen the scene of the entire eastern grassland being in flames.

Thinking of the scene where he was pulled down from the throne by Tie Mu Zhen, King Zuo Xian couldn't help but show a trace of horror on his face, he looked left and right and said: "Zuo Ba Zuo Tu is incompetent, what should our army do next, the generals must always give this king an idea." ”

A group of generals, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to speak first, they all saw the fate of Zuo Ba and Zuo Tu, although they easily put the blame for defeat on Zuo Ba and Zuo Tu here, but they also know in their hearts that they go up by themselves, and they may not do better than Zuo Ba and the two, everyone is half a catty, who dares to say that their leaders can save must be stronger than each other.

Since Zuo Ba and the two of them can't beat the opponent with 200,000 troops, then they may not be stronger than the other party with 200,000 troops, and this battle is quite difficult to fight, this time the opponents are all according to the annihilation of the whole army, and there is no one who can come back alive if they go up, and now they are all Zuo Xianwang's henchmen around him, and they are big people who want to tremble when they stomp on the grasslands in the eastern grasslands, who is willing to leave their good life and go to the front line to die.

King Zuo Xian also knew what his subordinates were thinking, he pressed the anger in his heart, looked left and right, and said: " Ladies and gentlemen, now is not the time for Mingzhe to protect himself, now is our crisis juncture, if there is no matter of the 400,000 army of Zuoba and the two people, we still have a chance to retreat, but these two people lost 400,000 grassland warriors, but they sent us to the cliff, if we can't capture the city in the clouds, what will happen to the eastern grassland, presumably you will know better than this king, what to do, think about it yourself, don't think that this matter is just the king's business, we are all grasshoppers tied to a rope, if something happens to this king, you can't run away。 ”

Maybe it was King Zuoxian's words that played a role, or maybe the generals finally realized that this attack on Qin seemed to be different from the past, and after a moment of silence, the generals finally spoke.

"The king, Zuo Ba and Zuo Tu lost 200,000 troops, the blame for this matter must be attributed to the two of them, they are the leading generals, resulting in such serious losses to our army, this matter cannot be ended because they died, they must be held accountable to their families, I suggest that the two of them be confiscated, and the family property is used to compensate the grassland warriors who died on the battlefield. ”

"That's right, if the two of them don't have enough family property, we can donate another part in the army, and we can also donate another part. ”

"The matter of Zuo Ba and Zuo Tu will be put aside for the time being, and the results of the handling can be announced in a small area of the army first, and the specific disposal can be dealt with after the war, and now what needs to be considered is how to attack Cloud City. ”

"Judging from the situation that Zuo Ba and the two of them have lost troops in Cloud City, Cloud City is quite difficult to fight today, if we look at it from the old eyes, we will definitely suffer a big loss, but now within a radius of 100 miles from Cloud City, almost let the Qin army clean it up, we don't know the news of Cloud City at all, I always feel a little panicked. ”

"I also feel this way, today's Cloud City is by no means so simple, it is probably not Meng Tian who is in charge, I have fought with Meng Tian every year, this is not Meng Tian's combat style. ”

"We only know now that it was a Qin general named Bai Qi who led people to destroy the armies of Zuo Ba and Zuo Tu successively, but we have no information about who Bai Qi is. ”

"King, I think we have to use the essence of Cloud City. ”

"Those foundations are the hole cards we use to break through Cloud City, and now we use them just to find out some news, isn't it a bit too wasteful. ”

"We are all veterans, we should know that fighting a war is to know ourselves and our opponents, now the Qin army knows us very well, but we don't know anything about the Qin army and Cloud City, how can this battle be fought?"

"Cloud City, it can be destroyed with a snap of a finger, do you need to understand?"

"Can be wiped out with a snap of a finger? Why do you still have such a superficial idea, it's really so simple, Zuo Ba and Zuo Tu won't lose so much in Cloud City. ”

"I'm in favor of using the foundation, we must know what the situation is in Cloud City now, otherwise I feel that we are going to suffer a big loss in Cloud City, we have already lost 400,000 warriors, and we can no longer afford such a big loss, our main strength cannot be used in Cloud City, the main thing is to guard against the Temple and Ironwood Town. ”

"What about after you figure it out? Or maybe you can't figure it out?"

"Whether it's clear or not, Cloud City must be broken this time, otherwise my Zuo Xian Wang's big tent will be in danger, who will put my Zuo Xian Wang's big tent in the eastern grassland in the future, we must win this battle, I suggest summoning a million troops to be the vanguard and directly crush the past, and then gather a million troops to spare. ”

"It's just a million that's nothing, and if we gather an army of two million, it's a big burden for us. ”

"It's not a burden now, it's a matter that we have to win this war, it's a matter of life and death related to the life and death of my Zuo Xianwang Tent, at this time, I think we don't have to think about those little ninety-nine, we must unite together, gather a force, and break through Cloud City." ”

Although these grassland generals are not as good as Meng Tian and others in terms of strategic planning, they are also often fighting, and their grasp of the current situation is not weak, and they quickly sorted out a strategy for dealing with Cloud City.

King Zuo Xian listened to the generals speak one after another, the anger in his mind originally caused by the annihilation of Zuo Tu's entire army had disappeared, and the thoughts in his mind gradually became clear, and finally raised his hand and said: "Use the essence of Cloud City, if necessary, you can use the highest foundation, find out what happened in Cloud City at all costs, and then take Zuo Xian Wang's order to collect another million troops, and obey the dispatch at any time, and the others will not move, wait for the exact news of Cloud City to come, and set foot on Cloud City together." ”

King Zuo Xian originally didn't pay much attention to Cloud City, what is worth noting about a city that he had set foot on once ten years ago, but after losing troops and losing generals, King Zuo Xian knew that Cloud City was not simple at the moment, and King Zuo Xian suddenly remembered Wang Mang and others who had fled to Cloud City before, one of them seemed to be called Bai Qi, and he didn't care about it originally, but now Bai Qi led people to kill his own army of 400,000 in a row, which had to make King Zuo Xian suspect the identity of Wang Mang and others.

"The local area has temporarily stopped the march to Cloud City, but all kinds of scouts and spies continue to pour towards Cloud City, it seems that they want to find out the identity of General Bai Qi. Meng Tian stood in front of Wang Mang and said in a low voice: "General Bai Qi has killed 400,000 enemy troops, which seems to have frightened them. ”

Thinking of Bai Qi killing 400,000 grassland warriors, Meng Tian still can't believe it, he has guarded Cloud City for many years, and he didn't kill as many people as Bai Qi did this day, sure enough, he only took the wrong name, there was no wrong nickname, and the name of the killing god was definitely not a problem on Bai Qi's head.

Wang Mang knew that Zuo Xianwang would not continue to be impulsive after suffering losses successively, and it was normal to investigate Bai Qi's identity and even his own identity, after thinking about it, Wang Mang said: "Maybe find out what those scouts have found?"

"Outside the city are densely packed with our people, and none of King Zuoxian's people can come. Speaking of this, Meng Tian couldn't help but admire Cheng Buzhi, this Cheng Buzhi did have a hand in defense, but in one day, the city defense of the entire Cloud City was not only improved by three percent, but in Meng Tian's opinion, it was almost perfect.

Wang Mang said: "Is there any movement in the city?"

"Everything looks fine. Meng Tian said.

"Everything is normal?" Wang Mang raised his eyebrows and said: "It seems that it is not normal, it is a time of war, even if the people in Cloud City are warriors who are not afraid of death, Cloud City will never be calm, it seems that the calm covers the storm." ”

Meng Tian said softly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the entire Cloud City is under the control of me and Lord Feng Tang, even if there are a few fish in it that want to make some waves, it will never be possible." ”

"Nope. Wang Mang shook his head and said: "If these waves don't let them roll out, maybe they will give us a fatal blow at the most critical time." ”

"So what is Your Majesty going to do?" Meng Tian said.

"I can't hide the news from Cloudsdale for long, after all, the entire people in Cloudsdale know that the grassland may not get news from Cloudsdale for the time being, but it will soon get news from other channels, so it is better to send this news to them than that. Wang Mang's eyes were slightly cold and said: "But this news can't be sent in vain, you have to drop a few big fish to get out." ”

"I understand. Meng Tian's eyes lit up, and he said: "The minister will go to discuss with Lord Feng Tang to see how to maximize the value of this news, the minister is a martial artist, and he is always inferior to those literati in using his brain." ”

Is it better than a literati to calculate?

Wang Mang smiled in his heart, knowing that Meng Tian was nailing Feng Tang, but tomorrow he didn't know the true relationship between Wang Mang and Feng Tang, it was really a wrong idea, but Wang Mang also knew that Meng Tian was not malicious, it was just a defensive means, he was preventing Feng Tang from giving him eye medicine.

However, these Wang Mang will not ask much, the struggle between the courtiers, as the emperor, cannot be casually involved, otherwise how to maintain the mystery of the emperor, as long as they intervene at the critical moment, let them know who is the real master.

After Bai Qi found Feng Tang, the two discussed for a while, and finally called Cheng Buzhi to discuss for a while, the three of them were all people with outstanding IQs, and soon discussed a plan to lure the snake out of the hole, which was foolproof, and finally Meng Tian arranged for Meng Yi to carry out the specific implementation, after all, Meng Yi is young and has a special identity, and many things are done by Meng Yi, which seems more real.

"King, there's news!"

Zuo Xianwang's big tent, a general holding a letter with a smile on his face.

"What's the news?" King Zuo Xian's eyes lit up.

"Does the king know who is in Cloud City now?" The general sold a pass, and said loudly: "Cloud City, our background has come to the news that Wang Mang, the emperor of Great Qin, is now in Cloud City. ”

"What, the Emperor of Qin is in Cloud City?" A partial general said with a shocked face: "How can Emperor Qin be in Cloud City, don't the people of the Central Plains say that the Son of Heaven will not go to the court?

"No, two letters have come over one after another, even if one of them is fake, the other should be unfake, both letters say that Emperor Qin is in Cloud City, this matter must be true. ”

When a group of people were discussing the news of Emperor Qin's presence in Cloud City in the big tent of King Zuo Xian, Meng Tian and Feng Tang personally led several teams of people to surround the courtyards of the two major households in Cloud City.
