Chapter 123: Night Counts Celestial Phenomena
Chuzhou Army, barracks.
In the camp, the King of Beishan and Liu Cheng sat next to each other, listening to the news from the spies.
"Shen Yunfan has already set off, and he will arrive at the Beiyu Army camp by tonight."
The King of the North Mountain asked, "How many people did you bring?"
「…… Two."
"How much?" The King of Beishan thought that he had heard it wrong, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Two." The spy affirmed, "The soldiers and horses in the capital have not moved, but the new army in the capital that was originally dispersed has been organized and assembled in the barracks of the Northern Command Army, with a total of 40,000 people."
"Forty thousand people...... "King Beishan muttered and looked at Liu Cheng, "Uncle, we only have 15,000 elite soldiers at present, and the gap between the number is a bit big."
"A group of rabble, can also get into the eyes of the prince?" Liu Cheng smiled.
After the last defeat, the king of Beishan had a lot of respect for Liu Cheng and only hoped that he could help him. So now he sits on the main seat, which shows his high status.
At this time, hearing Liu Cheng's ridicule, the king of Beishan said embarrassedly: "That kid is scheming, even if it is a rabble, I am a little jealous."
Since the last defeat, most of the Chuzhou army mutinied, and the arrogance of the king of Beishan has been restrained a lot.
He knew that he was already on the edge of the cliff, and if he was defeated again, the Chuzhou army would definitely be scattered! So, even if it was a group of recruits, he didn't dare to ignore it.
Liu Cheng patted him on the shoulder with a smile and comforted, "Don't worry, since I have made a war letter, there is naturally a way to win him."
"Then it's up to my uncle!" The King of the North Mountain nodded.
As soon as the words fell, Liu Cheng suddenly got up and walked out.
"What is my uncle going to do?"
"Count the heavens."
Hearing this, the king of Beishan followed outside with a puzzled expression, and saw Liu Cheng lighting three incense sticks on the ground, burning some paper money, chanting words in his mouth, and staring up at the sky.
"Uncle......
"Don't speak." Liu Cheng interrupted.
The King of Beishan scratched his head helplessly, so he had to whisper to the adjutant next to him, "What are you doing, do you know?"
"Lord Wang, the last general has heard that those military advisors of the Central Plains countries all have the ability to call for wind and rain and predict the future, I think Lord Liu seems to be calculating celestial phenomena!"
"So mysterious?" King Beishan was surprised.
At this moment, Liu Cheng muttered, "Xun is cloudy, and there is rain in the sky. Tonight, I'm afraid it's going to rain."
"Lord Liu is really amazing!" The adjutant's eyes were full of surprise.
However, the King of the North Mountain rolled his eyes and muttered, "The sky is full of dark clouds, and everyone knows that it is going to rain."
He was a little speechless, after all, if this was called divination of celestial phenomena, then he could also calculate it.
While muttering, Liu Cheng continued: "Dry is yang, the rain turns sunny, and the day after tomorrow will most likely be foggy."
"Ah, even the day after tomorrow can be predicted?" At this moment, the king of Beishan was dumbfounded.
"Well, send someone to deliver a message to the Northern Command Army, and the day after tomorrow will be decisive in Wuliyuan!" Liu Cheng tore off the incense candle in front of him, then got up and shouted to the sky, saying some strange words in his mouth.
This appearance, like a wizard who dances the great god, is both mysterious and terrifying.
Many soldiers around were attracted and came to watch.
The king of Beishan was afraid that they would know the secret, so he drove away, "Get out of here, scatter!"
However, Liu Cheng stopped, "You don't have to disperse them."
"Uncle, what if the secret is leaked?"
"What is this secret?" Liu Cheng smiled coldly and shouted, "The day after tomorrow, there will be a heavy fog in Wuli, so we will defeat the Northern Commander Army in the fog!!"
The people around them looked at each other, half-convinced.
Liu Cheng shouted again: "Those who kill the enemy bravely will be rewarded with a hundred households!"
At this moment, the eyes of all the soldiers became hot, and they all raised their hands and shouted, "Defeat the Northern Commanders, defeat the Northerners!!"
For a time, morale in the army was high.
But the king of Beishan still couldn't figure it out, since he had worked hard to calculate the celestial phenomena, he wanted to
If you take advantage of the foggy weather to deal with the Northern Command Army, you should try your best to hide this matter.
Now that you have said it all, aren't you afraid that the matter will spread to the Northern Commander Army, so that they can be on guard?
With this in mind, the king of Beishan shouted, "This matter is not allowed to be spread outside, and you must not tell outsiders about it."
"Yes, lord!" The soldiers said in unison.
But at this time, none of them noticed that a figure left the barracks in the shadows.
Liu Cheng squinted, obviously noticing the strange figure, but he didn't stop the man, but let him leave, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smug smile.
……
Half a day later, the camp of the Northern Commander Army.
Liu Meiniang quickly stepped into the camp and whispered, "Master, let's send back the news from the details of the Chuzhou army."
"What's the news?" Shen Yunfan asked.
But without waiting for Liu Meiniang to answer, Li Cheng came in from outside again and shouted, "Lord Shen, the King of Beishan sent a messenger to ask for a meeting."
Shen Yunfan frowned and said, "Let him in."
Liu Meiniang heard this and stood beside her. After a while, Li Chengcheng came in with a middle-aged man with a mustache.
This guy looks like a cunning woman, and when he came in, he smiled sarcastically and shouted with his head held high: "The prince asked me to deliver the message, and the day after tomorrow will be a decisive battle in Wuliyuan, I hope the prime minister will be there on time."
"Got it, let's go down." Shen Yunfan said coldly.
But after saying that, the messenger did not move.
"Do you have anything to say?"
"Nope." The messenger's eyes narrowed, and there was a sly look in his eyes, "You don't know who I am, do you? I'm Liu Cheng's cousin, so it stands to reason that you have to call me uncle."
"So what?" Shen Yunfan raised his eyebrows.
"So as a junior, why don't you hurry up and welcome me to a seat and invite me to a cup of tea?" The messenger's eyes widened, and his tone was even more severe!
