Just when Su Qi'an wanted to find out the specific details from Liu Shengming, Liu Shengming, who had a calm face, turned red and his body trembled wildly.

Immediately afterward, smoke rose from his body, and spontaneously combusted.

The speed of this spontaneous combustion was very fast, and Liu Shengming didn't have time to call for help, but in just a dozen breaths, it turned into a body of coke.

Su Qi'an, who watched this scene, was shocked, and at the moment when Liu Shengming turned into charcoal, Tong Zhan in the distance quickly stepped forward, and the big knife in his hand touched the charred corpse.

It is basically certain that this is not a so-called blindfolding, but a real corpse, and Liu Shengming was burned to death in this way.

Even if Su Qi'an was prepared, he didn't expect this top strategist to die in this way.

Tong Zhan is worthy of being an old Jianghu, with rich experience, and the big knife in his hand is peeling off something on the charred corpse.

A piece of coke-like soil was picked up and sniffed by Tong Zhan, Tong Zhan nodded, and said to Su Qi'an.

"Sir, this is Darong China, a special Gu worm, the size is very small, it can cooperate with anything to enter the body, and it can be completely unaware.

"Normally, in the body, there is no big problem, but once you violate any taboos, this Gu worm will burn in the body, and it only takes dozens of breaths to make people burn into charcoal."

Su Qi'an was a little shocked, he didn't expect that in such a backward feudal dynasty, there would be such a strange thing.

If this is to multiply in large quantities and manipulate the life and death of others, it must not be in a single thought.

It was not surprising that Su Qi'an had this thought, Tong Zhan hurriedly explained.

"This kind of Gu worm, although it is murderous and invisible, it is difficult to reproduce in large quantities, it can be said to be very rare, and this kind of Gu worm will not be all over the territory of Darong at all, but will be controlled by the Darong Royal Court, even if it is me, for so many years, I have witnessed it with my own eyes, and it is only this time."

"Liu Shengming's death under the Gu worm can be regarded as his fate." Tong Zhan sighed.

Su Qi'an nodded, this talented and scheming Liu Shengming is actually the executioner who occupies the blood of the people of Daliang.

It seems that he has been reused by the Cook Technique, but in fact, the Cook Technique is still not at ease with him.

Otherwise, he would not have been quietly tricked into him, in order to prevent him from saying something he shouldn't have said.

Even if he has extraordinary talent, after all, he will become a pawn in the hands of others, and it is better for Liu Shengming to die like this, so as not to let Su Qi'an do it himself.

The only pity is that Su Qi'an has never been able to know the identity of the senior spy that Liu Shengming said.

I felt a little sorry, but after thinking about it, it was not a good thing for Su Qi'an to know about it.

If it is really as Liu Shengming said, that high-level spy has become a high-ranking official in Da Liang, let alone him, even if it is Fan Wenzhong, it will be difficult to bring him down.

After all, in the final analysis, this is just Liu Shengming's words, and there is no evidence at all.

Even if Liu Shengming is not dead, what if he comes to face to face? Most of the results are still unsuccessful.

Who would trust the words of a great strategist? If it were so easy, most of the high-ranking officials of the Daliang Imperial Court would have to step down.

Whether Liu Shengming is dead, this secret is only known to him and Tong Zhan, Su Qi'an has already instructed Tong Zhan not to cause trouble for Xie Cang, and to rot this matter into his stomach.

At least Su Qi'an, Xie Cang can be fearless of any danger and can protect himself from glory, and this secret can be seen again.

If they break out now, it will only make them die faster.

After casually disposing of Liu Shengming's charred body, Tong Zhan and Su Qi'an returned directly to the rear battlefield.

Liu Shengming is dead, but the war in the rear is not over yet.

Daei's 30,000 troops are indeed strong, even if they are divided and surrounded by the new army.

The new army was still unable to eat each other, and the battle lasted for more than an hour, ending with the flight of 5,000 Daei soldiers.

In this battle, the 30,000 Daei army suffered heavy casualties, only more than 5,000 soldiers survived, and most of the rest of the Rong soldiers were killed in the melee.

On the side of the New Army, the casualties were also not small, and after a major battle, there were only 5,000 people left in the 15,000 or so New Army.

This battle can be described as a tragic victory, and this is still the result of the sneak attack of Su Qi'an's vanguard and the new army's fearlessness of death.

If Su Qi'an hadn't awakened the inner blood of the new army, I'm afraid that this battle would not be divided and surrounded, but their entire army would be annihilated.

Compared with the Daei army, the gap between the new army and the new army is still very large, but this battle must be fought.

Only by defeating the 30,000 search troops can the front line and rear be shaken.

Su Qi'an's move is a real draw from the bottom of the kettle, and he can foresee that after tonight, this battle will produce a big earthquake in the hearts of all soldiers on the front line and in the rear.

……

The next day, the first rays of sunlight rose on the horizon, and the news of the battle in the rear spread like the wind towards the front line and the rear.

The main camp of the Daei army on the front.

Sitting in the big tent, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and his hands were clenched, and in his right hand was a military report.

An unconcealable anger that even the guards outside the big tent could clearly sense.

Finally, with a roar of Cook's magic, the square table in front of him shattered.

"Damn! Damn it! This Liu Shengming really wanted to cut with a thousand knives, and the army of 30,000 was wiped out by more than 10,000 slaves! ”

"Liu Shengming mistook me for a big deal!"

Cook Shu roared angrily, he wanted to kill Liu Shengming alive, even if he knew that Liu Shengming was dead, but death was not enough to calm the anger in Cook Shu's heart.

Cook Shu really couldn't imagine that his army of 30,000, in the hands of Liu Shengming, not only did not exterminate Su Qi'an, but even made Su Qi'an strong and conquered a border acropolis.

In the end, there was a counterattack, and with more than 10,000 slaves, the 30,000 army was wiped out.

If it were in peacetime, Cook Shu would definitely lead the army back immediately after receiving the news and exterminate Su Qi'an.

But at this juncture, it is difficult for him to make any moves, because the seventy or eighty thousand troops in his hands have been dragged down by the border army led by Fan Wenzhong and Xie Cang.

Less than a day after the Zhenjun City was breached, Fan Wenzhong immediately changed his strategy, completely abandoned the passive defense of the Nine Cities, mobilized all the troops that could be mobilized, and wanted to fight to the death with the army of Kukeshu.

Fan Wenzhong's strategy is both good and bad, but the bad thing is that because he completely abandoned the defense of military cities, the defense of nine military cities is basically useless.

In two or three days, Kukshu's iron cavalry easily took three military cities.

And the good side was manifested at this time, giving up the turtle defense, and the gathered border army of the Nine Cities was under the command of Fan Wenzhong.

The entire army of 150,000 is twice as large as the Cook Technique in terms of numbers, not to mention the army that eats the Cook Technique, but it is more than enough to drag the Cook Technique.

This is Fan Wenzhong's combat intention, since the town army city has been lost, it is just a waste of troops to implement that kind of shrinking defense.

It's better to gather the army and match the hard bar of Cook's technique.

This kind of hard bar, the casualties are very large, but at the moment they can't take care of so much, the Daliang border army has large casualties, but the Darong army is also not optimistic.

The two sides are fighting a war of attrition, and the test is who can hold out whose rear reinforcements can reach the battlefield, and who has the ability to change the entire war.

At this critical moment, Liu Shengming gave Cook Shu this play, and before the reinforcements arrived, this kind of thing happened in his rear, how could this not make Cook Shu angry.

So far, tantrums can't solve the problem, and after tossing for a long time, Cook gradually calmed down.

His gaze turned, looking at the military map behind him, thinking about what to do.

Just when Cook Shu made up his mind, he temporarily gave up the extermination of Su Qi'an in the rear, and made every effort to break into the territory of Ningzhou.

Only in this way can Ningzhou be taken and the three states become one piece, so that the follow-up reinforcements can drive straight into the army without any worries.

As for Su Qi'an, who made trouble, when they hit Kyoto, this Su Qi'an didn't have to obediently return to help.

But before the order could be issued, one of the guards rushed in.

The guard didn't talk nonsense and said directly.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, I just got the news that there were slave riots in several border acropolis near Taning City, and the local city lord tried his best to suppress it, but Su Qi'an led the army to raid and has already taken five border acropolis."

"And depending on the situation, other border acropolis also have restless times, if not, Su Qi'an's army is afraid to..."

At this point, the guard did not continue, but remained silent.

How could Cook Shu not know what he meant, if he left it alone, Su Qi'an would do more and more things in Qingzhou, and maybe he would recreate the things that General Yue did a hundred years ago.

This is absolutely impossible.

But Cook is still very hesitant, he returned to help and quell the rebellion in the rear, but the great opportunity at the front line was given up, which is a pity.

If you don't leave, you really sit back and watch Su Qi'an grow stronger and stronger, resulting in the loss of Qingzhou, then he will never give up.

Just when Cook was in a dilemma, outside the tent, a soldier rushed in.

He didn't salute Cook, he didn't seem to be a subordinate of Cook, and it looked like he had traveled a long way.

The soldier glanced at Cook and pulled out a scroll from the box on his back.

The scroll opened, and the soldier's voice rang out.

"Lonely Zhiwu'er is tired from fighting for days, but Qingzhou's strategic significance is of great significance, and now the second prince Kukeshu is ordered to lead the army to immediately return to Qingzhou to ensure that Qingzhou must not be lost, and those who violate the order will be killed!"

"The second prince will take the order." The soldier said.

Cook's eyes flashed, his face was cloudy, he knew that his seriously ill father had made an order to him, and there must be his good big brother blowing wind in his ears behind it.

Although Cook Shu was very reluctant, it was not to the point of disobeying the order, and if he disobeyed his father's order at this time, I am afraid that he would be far away from the throne.

Kukshu could only secretly curse the incompetence of the rear border army, and after a moment of silence, he received the order and ordered the army to withdraw to help.

Now it seems that Su Qi'an in the rear can only be exterminated and the rear can be stabilized, as for Ningzhou, it can only be discussed in the long run.
