Chapter 105: Conspiracy

Chen Sheng couldn't help but be surprised, he had heard Zhao Tuo explain the relationship between Minyue and Dongou before. The relationship between Minyue Wang Su Shao and Dongou Wang Wu Zhu is not very harmonious. The main reason is that both of them are descendants of Goujian, the king of Yue, but both sides believe that they are the orthodoxy of the Yue Dynasty, and they also fight for this, not to mention anything else, just take the time when Zhao Tuo started to fight from Yugan, the territory of Dongou was attacked by the Qin army, and the king of Minyue shook and excited, and poured the strength of the country to attack the border of Dongou and plundered a large piece of land. Dongou King Wu Zhu also vomited a mouthful of blood for this. What's wrong with this King of Minyue now, not only did he not continue to encroach on the land of the King of Dongou Wang, but instead helped him send troops against the Qin army? This kind of thing is really incomprehensible.

But thinking about it, Chen Sheng thought clearly about the possibilities. Perhaps it was because the Qin army was advancing too fast, and the king of Minyue felt the crisis of cold lips and teeth, so he would be so kind and raise troops to help Don'ou. What is certain is that the Dongou people should also pay a huge price for this, so that the king of Minyue can personally lead the army to help.

After thinking about it, Chen Sheng's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam, and he suddenly asked, "The Minyue army, the marching route, do our spies know?" ”

Zhao Tuo smiled and said: "Naturally, our spies are in the vanguard of the Minyue Army. According to the information he sent, the Minyue army should ...... from here" Zhao Tuo approached the sand table, pointed to the topographic map of the Ouyue land made of sand, and pointed out the advance route of the Minyue army.

In recent years, the spies of the Black Water Pavilion have infiltrated the land of Ouyue, secretly drawn maps, and then made them according to scale, so that they can be used on the day of the army's southern expedition. The production of the sand table is naturally not as fine as the military sand table of later generations, but it is also very rare, some passes and dangerous places, the terrain and signs are all striving for precision, it can be seen at a glance that the skills of the secret agents of the Black Water Pavilion in drawing maps are not low.

"What is this place?" Chen Sheng pointed to a valley in the sand table that looked a little narrow and said slowly. Although it is in the sandbox, it can be clearly seen that this is a dangerous place.

"This is the Eagle Sorrow Stream, a valley nearly two miles long, only more than sixty miles away from Wuyi Pass, and it is also the last line of defense of the Dongou King against the Minyue people, and there, there is a small walled city." Zhao Tuo squinted his eyes and glanced at Chen Sheng. Seeing Chen Sheng's thoughtful appearance, he also became interested. "What, you want to sneak attack this place, and then hold this place so that the Minyue army does not cross the defensive line?" Chen Sheng likes to make dangerous moves, which Zhao Tuo has heard. "This is a good note, but it must be taken quickly and then sent an army of 15,000 people to succeed."

"Nope." Chen Sheng frowned and said, "Setting up an ambush here is more effective." After a pause, he opened his mouth again and said, "But it's even more difficult!" ”

"This is natural." Zhao Tuo smiled. He was originally a leading general, so he naturally knew the difficulty of the ambush.

"You can give it a try." Chen Sheng nodded firmly, and said: "The king of Dongou and the king of Minyue have always been at odds, we can ...... like this" Chen Sheng approached Zhao Tuo's ear and slowly said his plan.

……

Zhao Tuo's face was full of red light, summoned the deputy general in the army, and began to convey the order to attack Wuyi Pass, and a very small number of people such as Meng Yi and Fusu also learned that Zhao Tuo and Chen Sheng had secretly formulated a battle plan. Hearing about this plan, Meng Yi was very excited and strongly joined it. However, he was sternly rejected by Zhao Tuo, and in the end, he was stubborn, and let Meng Yi serve as the deputy general of the reinforcement army, leading the 2,000 reinforcement army. The two hundred Praetorian Guards were taken to a secret place by Chen Sheng for a round of training, so that they knew what their battle plan was, and after some drills, the Praetorian Guards were basically familiar with their respective roles. The Praetorian Guard was worthy of being the most elite unit in the empire, and it didn't take Chen Sheng's many explanations to understand what Chen Sheng was trying to express. This made Chen Sheng very happy.

In order to cooperate with Chen Sheng's assault plan, Zhao Tuo also continuously mobilized a steady stream of military materials to meet the needs of the Praetorian Guard as much as possible. And the Qiyue tribe, who took away the weapons, also sent three hundred warriors to cooperate in the battle, which is one hundred more than the previous agreement! Compared with the Qianyue tribe, whose combat effectiveness has been seriously reduced, sending so many fighters at once is enough to express their sincerity.

Chen Sheng assigned the soldiers of the Yue tribe to his command as part of the assault operation. With the cooperation of the Yue people, the success rate of this assault operation will be greatly increased.

At nightfall, Chen Sheng led five hundred soldiers to quietly leave the camp, and under the leadership of Ling Zhu'er, they headed towards a cliff in the distance. accompanied by Ling Suyun. Originally, Chen Sheng was reluctant to involve Ling Suyun in danger, but at Ling Suyun's request, he agreed to Ling Suyun's request. Chen Sheng knows that Ling Suyun is smart, sometimes he analyzes intelligence or something, his brain is not as good as Ling Suyun, with Ling Suyun, a dog-headed military advisor, the success rate may be greater.

In order to cover up Chen Sheng's whereabouts, after nightfall, Zhao Tuo also began to attack. In order to cooperate with Chen Sheng's plan, the offensive evolution was pushed forward again. The soldiers of the Qin army were already excited, and they were all excited, and when they heard General Zhao's siege order, they all waved their weapons excitedly and shouted.

Hearing the sound of war drums, the defenders in Wuyi Pass were also alarmed. Su Wuzhu was holding a banquet in the military tent to entertain Zhang Liang, Xiang Liang and all the generals, when he heard the sound of the drum, his face suddenly turned pale, and he exclaimed: "Qin, Qin people have come in?!" ”

Zhang Liang's performance was quite calm, and replied: "My king is panicking, Wuyi Pass is more than ten zhang high, the defenders are elite, and there are more than 1,000 Xiong Zhen internal guards in the hands of General Xiang, even if the Qin army attacks the city, it is impossible to break the city in a short time!" After speaking, he glanced at Xiang Liang, and the two immediately saluted to Su Wuzhu and hurriedly went up to the city wall.

Since Zhang Liang and Xiang Liang brought a large number of grain and grass elite soldiers, the arrogant, lascivious, and incompetent Fu Wuzhu's trust in the two could not be restored, and he soon handed over the military and political power to the two of them, and continued to have fun by himself. Seeing Zhang Liang's calm reaction, Su Wuzhu also came back to his senses, and hurriedly walked up to the city wall surrounded by a group of generals. Recently, the Qin army has been quite quiet, and tonight when he suddenly heard the sound of war drums, he couldn't help but tremble all over his body.

On the city wall, Zhang Liang, who witnessed the behavior of the Qin army, began to slowly turn pale.
