【261】Chase after victory
Slightly suppress the Nine Shadows Kingdom and Xiao Shizhu, who are gaining momentum, and let Xiao Shizhu know who is the true overlord of the underworld, and it is not impossible.
The only thing that needs to be noted is that this matter cannot be done by Emperor Xudu himself, otherwise he will become the target of public criticism if it spreads. And if something doesn't work out, it will make Xiao Shizhu, who was originally obedient, secretly resentful in his heart.
Now that the underworld is in turmoil, and the states are rebelling, only the south is calmer for the time being, and the Emperor Xudu does not want to have one more enemy.
At that moment, he pondered for a while, and after pacing around the napping Han in the pavilion, he glanced at King Chu Jiang, who was kneeling outside the pavilion, silent, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he immediately thought about it.
"Yes, you can, but it's up to you. Emperor Xudu closed his eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Do it neatly and neatly, without leaving a trace." If it doesn't work, there can be no second time. ”。
The reason why he decided this way was because if this matter was completed, he would continue to act according to the plan of King Chujiang and support Xiao Shizhu's daughter, and Xiao Fuling, the lord of Yuque, would take the throne and coerce the new King of Jiuyou to order all the ghosts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
But if this matter is revealed, he can also retreat and put all the responsibility on the king of Chu Jiang, and then maintain Xiao Shizhu's loyalty to him.
King Chu Jiang didn't hesitate at the moment, but after saluting, he responded with a "promise." After standing up, patting the dust on his knees, he said solemnly: "The minister will do it, and he will do his best, so that Xiao Shizhu will not become a threat to His Majesty." ”。
In other words, he was 100% sure that he would kill Xiao Shizhu this time.
And it's not that he didn't see the little Jiujiu of Emperor Xudu, but he was confident that he would definitely be able to slaughter Xiao Shizhu. As far as he knew, Xiao Shizhu had only openly beheaded Chutian County not long ago, and the first fast knife in the underworld was the Thunder Knife.
Although this move won the hearts of the people for Xiao Shizhu, it also attracted the anger of the brothers of the Thunder Knife. And these brothers of the Thunder Knife are all over the ten continents of the underworld, and they are all first-class masters in the underworld. As long as he convinces the brothers and sisters of the Thunder Knife, this matter will be successful, and if you add the few thugs in his own mansion who are kept in captivity, who are specially designed to hunt down and kill the ghosts who dare to speak ill of the Xudu regime with the Emperor of Xudu, this matter will definitely succeed immediately.
In addition, I heard that Xiao Shizhu likes to go out on patrol in micro-clothes, and every time he goes out of the palace, he brings at most one or two guards with him, which gives him a lot of opportunities.
After the Emperor Xudu waved his hand and signaled him to retreat, the king of Chujiang held the wat again and walked towards the way he came. In the blink of an eye, the figure disappeared into the peach forest by the pool.
After not feeling the other party's ghostly aura, Emperor Xudu suddenly raised his hand and gently stroked his palm.
The shadow of the pavilion pillar shook a few times in response, and after turning into a human form, the whole shadow stood up and turned into a shadow ghost's human soul.
"Your Majesty, what do you command?" the shadow ghost stood outside the shadow of the pillar and bowed his head to the Emperor Xudu.
"Keep an eye on King Chu Jiang, I feel that there is something wrong with him. Emperor Xudu turned his head, looked at the direction of King Chujiang's departure, the peach forest with a little petals falling with the wind, and said calmly: "But where is the problem, I can't say, in short, keep an eye on him, I want to know everything about him." ”。
"No. The shadow ghost answered, and his body turned into a black shadow again, and then he fell backwards, and lay on the ground and became one with the shadow of the pillar again, and disappeared without a trace......
Xiao Shizhu secretly informed Yu Rong that after quietly taking away Jumang, he took King Kong and the accompanying fungus people out of Danshui City quietly, and after arriving in Yingcheng in the north, he got on a passenger ship to Fengdui County.
Along the way, Xiao Shizhu was reluctant to buy a cabin float, so they all sat on the deck with some ghosts on the ship. When he was bored, King Kong always asked him, "Isn't it a pity that you left without seeing Lord Dongyue?"
"I didn't come to see her. Xiao Shizhu replied lightly.
But it made a few ghosts around him, after hearing this, they felt that they were bragging, Lord Dongyue is the county guard, who wants to see it, can you see it?
Later, King Kong also found it boring, so he didn't ask again.
After four days at sea, the passenger ship finally arrived at the port outside the city of Dusk. Xiao Shizhu took King Kong and them, got off the boat in the group of ghosts, and after passing the inspection of the sentry and walking out of the port, he went to the city.
After they walked around the city at will, Xiao Shizhu led them to the front of Chunyun's Great General's Mansion. Xiao Shizhu strode to the door, bowed his hand to the guards, took off his wrench and handed it to the guards, and said, "Give the wrench to your general, and say that Boss Xiao is here." ”。
The guard looked at him, although he was dressed in short brown, the wrench handed to him was a deer horn of excellent material, and he vaguely guessed that the ghost in front of him was either rich or expensive, so he immediately nodded and turned around and entered the house.
After a while, I saw Chunyun with the maids and family members in the house, hurriedly walked out, and after standing in two rows by the door, Chunyun took Xiao Shizhu to bow and salute, and said, "Welcome to the lord." ”。
"Okay, it's not a year or a festival. Xiao Shizhu took the wrench handed back by Chunyun, put a set of thumbs on his thumb, and strode towards the mansion, going straight away.
Xiao Shizhu followed Chunyun to the study, and saw that Chunyun had been converted into a temporary war room, a sand table map, and a military newspaper dispatch paperwork.
Xiao Shizhu glanced at the map, and after circling around the sand table, he said, "I heard that Changya has defected, right?"
"Yes. Chunyun took the hot tea sent by the maid, and after serving it to Xiao Shizhu, who had already done her book, she stepped aside and stood still, and said slowly: "But Haoyan City has suffered heavy losses, and the enemy army has pressed the border with heavy troops, although it is a broken city, but now the casualties have reached 20,000. ”。
"In front of 500,000 enemy troops, it is strange that there are no ghosts sacrificed. Xiao Shizhu scraped the tea powder in the cup with the lid of the cup, glanced at the composure in Chunyun's eyes, and said: "You are worthy of being a general, the casualties are not small, but you are still calm; ”。
"Yes. Chunyun raised his eyes, smiled at him, and nodded: "The lord is like a god, after the Gonggong took control of Zhuzhu County, he indirectly cut off Wu Hui's grain route, and 50,000 of the 500,000 army surrendered to Cheng. In January, the enemy army also lost 100,000 dead and wounded soldiers, and now the remaining 300,000 enemy troops have been shaken. Now that the food is out again, within five days, Wu Hui will inevitably retreat. ”。
"Hmm. Xiao Shizhu, who took a sip of tea, smashed the bar and smashed the mouth, put down the teacup and stood up, walked to the sand table and stood still, carefully looked at the sand table, Zhu Rongguo in the north of the county, two counties in the south, three counties in the east and west and one county in the middle of the earth for a moment, his eyes moved to the north of Zhu Rongguo's port city, and asked: "Where is the sailor?"
"The sailor didn't suffer much. After thinking for a while, Chunyun said: "Our sailors, now half of the sailors are all sailors of the Gonggong clan and the former Gonggong country, plus the help of the clansmen of Lord Quanxian, and they are all equipped with waterproof guns, we will win the naval battle." At this time, the coastline of Zhurong Kingdom has been completely blocked, and Wu Hui's sailors have been almost wiped out, and all the survivors have been captured, and now they have all been taken to Shuoyue Island and Heilong County in batches, as well as Sanxing Island and Chutian County. At this time, the naval division of our army was stationed in the major ports of Xinghuo County in the north of Zhurong Kingdom. ”。
After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to the sand table, wishing the northern land of Rongguo, and then used his finger in it to draw a circle to outline the territory of Xinghuo County.
"Well done. After Xiao Shizhu applauded, he gently curled the corners of his mouth, turned back to bring his teacup, looked at Sha Ping and asked, "You have rich battlefield experience, where do you think Wu Hui will go if he retreats?"
"Are you going to ambush him?" asked Chunyun, looking at him suspiciously.
"No, an ambush on enemy territory is not realistic, and it is too easy to leak the news, but I must at least know where he is fleeing?" Xiao Shizhu waved his hand and said, "Will it be westward to drive the sailors out of the port, or will it go south to recover the lost territory occupied by the Gonggong." ”。
"It's not likely. Chunyun stared at the sand table and muttered for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "Whether it is the Sailor or the Gonggong Governor, they have won the hearts of the people in Xinghuo County and Zhuzhu County. In just one month, they have already gained a popular base. Wu Hui himself knows this. ”。
After finishing speaking, she pondered for a moment, staring at Chongming County in the northeast of Zhurong Country, and after pointing at the southwest border of Haoyan City bordering Haoyan City, she gently stroked from northeast to southwest, and finally landed in Bifang County, where Bifang City, the capital of the enemy country, was located, and said: "Wu Hui will retreat to the national capital according to this route, and recuperate and plan for the long term." ”。
Xiao Shizhu thought about it for a while, and also felt reasonable, now Wu Huimin's heart is lost, whether it is to expel the sailor or to recover the lost land, it will be more than worth the loss. The only way to do this is to withdraw to the national capital and stay by the side of his cronies. At that moment, Xiao Shizhu bowed his head slightly, and then asked, "Have you sent officials to the county?"
"Yes. Half of the mothers appointed by the country are graduates of this year's Guozijian. Chunyun also nodded and said, "There are also some magistrates in various counties who have had good political performance in previous years. ”。
"Well, the order to work together and cooperate with the officials to stabilize order and law and order in the county, there is no need to rush. Xiao Shizhu was satisfied and said, "But let Changya prepare for the attack." ”。
"Lord, are you going to take advantage of the victory to pursue?" Chunyun saw his gaze, and after he had already moved to the southwest of Chongming County on the sand table, his face suddenly showed excitement.
"Yes, otherwise I'm sorry for the 20,000 soldiers and civilians who died in the battle of Haoyan City. After Xiao Shizhu took another sip of tea, he said: "I didn't give support to Haoyancheng before, just to give Wu Hui an illusion that our country is short of troops and has no troops to adjust, and in this way, he will retreat without defense." ”。
