Chapter 22 Planning

The spring breeze urges the remnants of the rain, and the golden light opens the clouds.

The rain in Tongcheng finally stopped, and while it was dark, Li Mao went out of the city alone and headed west.

On the other side of the main road, in the dense forests, villages and towns, the secret guards have also laid a net.

Now that one rain is stopping, another is about to fall.

In Tongcheng, the merchants have been opened, and the people on the street have gradually increased, and under the deployment of the Liangzhou army, Tongcheng has returned to normal.

Yang Wantang's death seems to have become a long time ago, and now word of mouth is all about the greed of the Liangzhou army and the flattery of various clans.

The people are still worried about the war, but for now they have to live.

They didn't know that Tongcheng was already in the net, and this net was also woven to protect Tongcheng.

At this moment, in the Taishou Mansion, the weaver was wearing a blue-green shirt, leaning on the Taishi chair and talking, his slender and white fingers pinched the Ba Lanzi brought out by the Yang Mansion, removed the shell, and sent it to the mouth, with red lips and bright teeth, eyebrows and green cheeks, and a leisurely look.

Fortunately, there is no good scenery here, and if there is, I am afraid that she will also take away some of the color.

It's just that there is a black-faced young man in front of her, pacing back and forth anxiously, gesturing with his hands and feet.

Vulgarian!

Wen Liang thought to himself.

The vulgar thing said in a rough voice: "Doesn't the eldest lady want to show weakness, so that Shen Jing thinks that our Liangzhou army is no longer a threat, so that he will not attack for the time being, so that he can have a respite?" This can't be done, if Shen Jing was deceived like this, how could the Huaiyang Army be where it is today? ”

Wen carefully wiped the broken shells on his hands with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "I really want to show weakness to Shen Jing, but it's not just Shen Jing, Liangzhou Army wants to show weakness to the people of the world at this time." ”

Wen stopped when he said this, Zhou Tong saw that Wen was silent, and said: "But if you play against ordinary generals, this method may not be feasible, and our Liangzhou army is too famous." Others show weakness, or they may find a way to survive. The Liangzhou army shows weakness, which will inevitably attract all sides to attack. ”

Hui replied: "Yes, we fled in a hurry and were defeated. If there are no generals in the city, and there are only 2,000 soldiers and horses, plus 1,000 dissenting defenders of the Chu State. What will happen to those large and small armies that dare not compete with the Liangzhou Army on weekdays? ”

Zhou Tong rushed to say: "I will scramble to attack, no matter what, if I take the Liangzhou army, I will have a prestige for them." ”

Wen Gu asked: "Then no matter whether it is Northern Yu and Southern Chu, if someone takes Tongcheng, will the other side come to attack?" ”

Zhou Daodao: "If Beiyu takes Tongcheng, Nanchu doesn't want to expand the front, and there will be no fighting." ”

Wen Gu asked again: "What if Nanchu takes Tongcheng?" ”

Wen Liangdao, who had been standing next to him: "Southern Chu is different from our Liangzhou army, and the marching here is not familiar with Southern Chu, and Beiyu only needs to hold Liangzhou steadily." Instead, they will concentrate their forces to intensify the offensive on the Guangyang side. ”

Wen Gu nodded: "So no matter who takes the Liangzhou army, the other side has no reason to attack again." If we only have 2,000 people in the city, even Nanchu can easily take them. ”

"If that's the case, it is. But there are still 4,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, although the eldest lady in the city has not received the name of the general, but in fact, it is ......" Zhou Tong said this, suddenly hissed, and his tone eased, "I'm in a hurry, eldest lady, you just say it, I'll just listen." ”

Zhou Tong noticed that Wen's plan was different from what he thought, but he couldn't guess what it was.

Wen said with a smile: "I know that Zhou Dutong should be able to understand me." ”

At this moment, Zhou Tong didn't know that he had "ever" fought Shen Jing to the death, nor did he know how many lives and deaths he had with Wen Gu Wenliang.

This military man is a genius on the battlefield, and he thinks very highly of himself, and the reason why he respects him is because he thinks that the Liangzhou army is the commander of the capital at this time, and no one is more suitable than him, and the eldest lady is about to take the Liangzhou army to the danger to survive, she didn't ask, and put him on it. Whether it is the general's will or the eldest lady's proposition, it can be regarded as the grace of discerning people.

Moreover, in the past few days, the eldest lady's planning and action are also to survive in danger and fight to the death, which is quite the right way for him. In addition, he was already blessed by General Wenzong, so he can get where he is today. That's why I obey the old man like this.

Wen said: "The Tongcheng clan spread the news, whether it is Beiyu or Southern Chu, they must be worried about the Liangzhou army in Tongcheng." Since the Liangzhou army is easy to break, whoever arrives first, this prestige is naturally in someone's pocket. ”

"Hmm." Zhixia ate the fruit, hummed twice, and kept nodding.

Wen Gu looked at her and smiled even more happily: "So I want to give this prestige to Nan Chu." ”

Wen Liang said: "What does the eldest lady mean is to lead Nanchu to attack?" ”

"It's not to lead, it's to let." Wen said: "There are 4,000 people in the west of our city, and these 4,000 people Tongcheng don't know, Beiyu doesn't know, and Nanchu doesn't know. So whoever I let attack, they will be their soldiers. ”

Zhou Tong was a little confused when he heard this: "No, Lao Zhao, they have neither the Southern Chu military membership nor the Southern Chu generals, how can they ......?"

Wen said: "Zhou Dutong forgot that there should be one person in this city, and this person can lead the troops of Southern Chu." ”

Wen Liang took the first step to understand: "Tongcheng is too guarded? ”

……

"Liu!"

In the western suburbs of Tongcheng, 4,000 Liangzhou soldiers and horses are scattered in the forest and stationed, where the barren forest is dense and few people live, and no one passes through in troubled times.

More than a dozen bonfires burned in the quiet of the night, and many soldiers stood or sat around.

Tongcheng Taishou Liu Zhi was squatting in one of the places and pulling soup cakes, there were not many soldiers around, but he and his family were separated, and he had no intention of escaping.

Suddenly, he heard a soldier call him. Liu buried his head, but he didn't hear it.

"Someone is coming from Tongcheng, and our commander will call you over." The soldier walked around to him and spoke, not very politely.

Liu squatted, moving his feet, still facing the soldier with his back.

"Your bowl is empty, and you're still pulling it? If you're hungry, our Commander Zhao has meat to eat, let's go. ”

The soldier went around to Liu Zhu again, and when Liu Zhu saw this, he wanted to throw the bowl on the ground, but after thinking about it, he didn't dare, but he put it down gently, slapped his hand on his thigh, and scolded.

"I, Liu Shu, am also a well-educated person in Da Chu, my Liu family has been hairpins for generations, although I am not as glorious as my ancestors, but I am also the Taishou of a city, and your Liangzhou army treats me like this, it is simply insulting!"

The more Liu Zhi spoke, the more angry he became, he stood up suddenly, stretched out his finger but didn't dare to point at the soldier, and was afraid that he would point at someone else by mistake, so he could only scold at the open space beside him.

The soldier squinted his eyes and grimaced, and said several times in a row, "Yes." ”

Liu Shu is more and more scolding, the more powerful he becomes, his tongue is full of lotus flowers, and while scolding, he glances at the soldier with the corner of his eye, and the soldier listens like this and doesn't talk much. Liu was scolding proudly, and suddenly heard Lao Zhao's voice coming from not far away.

"Yo, Liu Taishou, I didn't eat enough after pulling the soup cakes, and I pulled your family tree?"
