Looking at the prosperity of Changzhou City, Yi Jiuxiao couldn't bear to destroy it, if he could take the initiative to surrender, he would rather spare the Jiang family.

When he was attacked by two Yuan Babies of the Jiang family and one Yuan Ying of Chen State, he vowed to exterminate the Jiang family at that time.

But time has passed, and the hatred in my heart has slowly faded over time, and it may not necessarily be necessary to destroy the Jiang family.

Later, it depends on what the Jiang family does, if he has to fight to the end, he doesn't mind destroying the surname Jiang.

There is a compassionate side in his heart, but he is by no means an indecisive person, on the contrary, he is very decisive.

In the first five days, Yi Jiuxiao was mainly shopping, and he was not in a hurry to spy on all kinds of news.

He knows that opportunities don't come every day, and it all depends on chance.

On the eighth day, Yi Jiuxiao heard a message in the teahouse, which was a bit valuable.

Jiang Guo is very wealthy, and the mortal people are also very leisurely, so there are many people who drink tea, and there are many tea houses.

There is a teahouse next door to the inn where Yi Jiuxiao lives, and there are many tea customers in it, and he himself goes there every day.

When tea guests drink tea, they like to chat, whether they know each other or not, they like to say a few words.

On the eighth day, not long after Yi Jiuxiao entered the teahouse, he heard a gray-clothed tea guest talking in the teahouse.

"There's going to be a war soon, you know?"

The blue-clothed tea guest at an adjacent table said disdainfully: "You just know, the army of Yi Guo has already attacked." ”

As soon as he heard this man speak vividly, several people came over and listened to him.

The blue-clothed tea guest suddenly became energetic and said, "Do you know how many people Yi Guo has sent?"

The audience next to him all shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know, which made the blue-clothed tea guest who spoke even more proud.

"There are millions of people, that's a lot of people. ”

As soon as this sentence was spoken, several listeners next to him wanted to disperse, which was too nonsense, and they didn't bother to listen.

The gray-clothed tea guest who was the first to speak began to fight back: "You are just boasting, which country can find millions of monks to serve in the army, even if there are so many people, they can't all come to our Jiang country." ”

The blue-clothed tea guest looked pained, and it seemed that he couldn't make sense with this group of ignorant people, but in the end he couldn't bear it.

"You really don't understand, Yi has a mortal army, and mortals like us can fight, do you understand?"

"Mortals like us can also fight in the army?"

"Is this true?"

"How do you know?"

The few people who had dispersed just now gathered around the blue-clothed tea guest again, and seemed to be very interested in mortals joining the army, because they were all mortals.

The blue-clothed guest took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: "I heard from a merchant friend that those mortal armies are powerful, more powerful than the monk army. ”

At this time, Yi Jiuxiao was sitting in the corner of the teahouse drinking tea, and it was very funny to see a few people talking about it, but it was also somewhat true.

Now the mortal army under Wan Shumad's command is indeed stronger than the monk army in some aspects.

It's just that there are not as many as the blue-clothed tea customers said, and the total number of people is only about 300,000, which is already a lot.

"Bang", the sound of someone slapping the table jumped several onlookers.

Everyone looked at each other, and there was a tea guest dressed as a scholar in the middle of the two tea tables, who was angry.

I saw the man stand up and say, "You ignorant fellows only know how to grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige. What's so great about Yi Guo, the emperor is ready to gather 500,000 horses, led by the princess herself, to exterminate those mortals in Yi Guo. ”

"How do you know, could it be that the emperor told you?"

The blue-clothed tea guest was obviously not convinced by the scholar's tea guest's words, so he deliberately ridiculed him, causing everyone to laugh.

The scholar's face instantly turned the color of pig liver, and he said angrily: "Someone in my family works in the military department, of course he knows about it. ”

"We only have 100,000 forbidden troops in Changzhou City, where are the 500,000 troops, don't coax us. ”

This was said by the gray-clothed tea guest, and it seems that he is also very dissatisfied with the arrogance of the scholar's tea guest, so he prefers to speak to the blue-clothed tea guest.

"You guys are really stupid, the emperor transferred 450,000 people in various state cities, plus 50,000 forbidden troops, isn't it 500,000?"

The scholar was obviously angry, dropped a word, stopped drinking tea, and went out with a flick of his robe sleeves.

For a while, everyone lost interest, and each returned to his tea table to talk about other topics.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, and Yi Jiuxiao judged that what the scholar tea guest said was somewhat true.

If it is true, this news is very useful, after all, an army of 500,000 is not trivial.

You can interfere with this matter in advance, or notify Wan Shumad to prepare as soon as possible and formulate a countermeasure.

So Yi Jiuxiao stopped drinking tea, and after paying for the tea, he followed the scholar tea guest out of the door.

After leaving the teahouse, Yi Jiuxiao walked a few steps quickly to catch up with the scholar tea guest, and said, "Brother Tai, don't be angry, why should we be like those fools." ”

Yi Jiuxiao's words hit the mind of the scholar tea guest, he stopped and looked Yi Jiuxiao up and down.

Seeing that he was also a scholar, his face was honest, and he seemed to be a fellow practitioner, so he became interested.

"Those are stupid people, I don't bother to pay attention to them, I think my brother is also a scholar. The scholar said indignantly.

Yi Jiuxiao smiled slightly and said: "Brother has good eyesight, it is Deng Yu of Cizhou in the next place, who is preparing for the exam in Beijing." ”

Cizhou is a remote state city in the west of Jiang Kingdom, Yi Jiuxiao had been here a few years ago, and the name Deng Yu was nonsense for him.

Since he is preparing for the exam in the capital, he must be a big scholar and is participating in the national examination.

"It turned out to be Brother Deng, and in the second half of the year, he is also preparing to participate in next year's national examination. ”

"Brother Huang is a well-educated person at first glance, and I want to invite Brother Huang for a drink, I don't know if Brother Huang is free. ”

This Huang Xun not only likes to drink tea, but also likes to drink, and when he saw that someone took the initiative to invite him, he readily agreed.

The two found a wine shop not far away, sat down, and began to push the glass and change the glass.

After a few cups, Huang Xun was already slightly drunk, and Yi Jiuxiao slowly led the topic to what was said in the teahouse.

"Brother Huang, I don't know if what they said about going to war with Yi Guo is really true? If it is true, I am afraid that the national examination will be cancelled next year, so I might as well return to my hometown as soon as possible, so as not to suffer in Changzhou City. ”

Huang Xun's eyes swept left and right, and when he saw that there was no one, he said: "It's really true, Yi Guo has already entered our Jiang country." ”

Yi Jiuxiao pretended to be very frightened and asked, "How is that good? The emperor doesn't want to think of a way." ”

"The emperor is thinking of a way, and he has already transferred troops to various states, and the princess will lead him to fight against Yi Guo. ”

"Such a big thing, Brother Huang knows, it's really not simple!" Yi Jiuxiao picked up his wine glass and toasted Huang Xun with a glass of wine.

Huang Xun heard Yi Jiuxiao flattering him, and the unhappiness in the teahouse just now was swept away.

I saw him wipe his mouth and said: "It's a coincidence that I know about this, I happen to be teaching at my brother's house, and my brother is a member of the military department, and he knows the war best." ”

There are two ways out for a great scholar, one is to become an official, and the other is to teach in the homes of officials and wealthy people.

If this Huang Xun was teaching at the home of the military department, it would be reasonable to know the war ahead, and it seems that it is not nonsense.

Now that the matter has been discovered, Yi Jiuxiao and Huang Xun drank a few more glasses of wine and returned to the inn.

He didn't ask Huang Xun which princess he was just now, but he could guess that it was Jiang Lin, because Jiang Lin had already caused a sensation on the entire continent.

Jiang Lin is a Yuanying monk, and she personally commands an army of 500,000, which is also a test for Wan Shumad.

Of course, Yi Jiuxiao was not very worried, cultivators with high cultivation would not necessarily fight.

Yi Jiuxiao thought for a moment and felt that he should go to Wan Shu's military camp and discuss it with him.

So he went out of Changzhou City and flew westward, the original Tang State was in the west of Jiang State, and Wan Shumad attacked Jiang State from west to east.

The wings covering the sky were deployed, and Yi Jiuxiao flew very fast, and he could fly more than 300 miles per hour.

While flying, he thought about countermeasures, and suddenly had a plan.

Jiang Guo dispatched 500,000 troops to fight a decisive battle against Wan Shumad, including 50,000 forbidden troops, then the capital Changzhou would definitely be empty.

If the sergeants and generals of the Yi State can be transferred outside the city of Changzhou, directly take the city of Changzhou, and destroy the family surnamed Jiang, then the Jiang country will naturally be destroyed.

Without the emperor and the imperial court, the state cities below Jiang Guo will naturally be leaderless, and they will be self-defeating when the time comes.

If you follow the current style of play and move forward step by step, it will not only take time, but also cause great losses.

Eight days later, Yi Jiuxiao found Wan Shufang, and at this time, Wan Shumad's army had already defeated the Lezhou City of Jiang State.

The two met in the Taishou Mansion in Lezhou City, and Yi Jiuxiao reported the military situation to Wan Shufang, and also expressed his thoughts.

After thinking about it for a long time, Wan Shufang shouted loudly, he very much agreed with Yi Jiuxiao's strategy.

In the past, this plan did not work, if there were other countries around, the capital would be divided by other countries after it was breached.

But now there is only one lonely Jiang State, as long as the capital Changzhou is captured, the other state cities of Jiang State have no choice but to surrender.

After the opinions were unified, Wan Shufang took out a map and discussed it with Yi Jiuxiao.

Judging from the map, Jiang and the original Zhou are separated by Jedi in the continent, Jiang is north of the Jedi, and Zhou is south of the Jedi.

The five hundred miles around the Jedi are all barren land, sparsely populated, not to mention the state city, not even the county seat.

If you want to sneak attack, you can sneak the army near the Jedi, and then follow the Jedi around Changzhou City.

After a whole day of discussion, the two finally agreed on all the details.

The first step of the plan was to inform Li Rui and ask him to lead his troops to Lezhou City, join forces with Wan Shumad, and hand over all the troops to Li Rui's command.

Li Rui originally attacked on the northern route, with 200,000 troops under his command and more than ten Jindan.

After receiving Yi Jiuxiao's military order, Li Rui quickly led his troops to rush over in the direction of Lezhou City, and finally joined forces.
