23, marched to Yunmeng Mountain

Prime Minister Miao Cheng basically won the battle for the river valley at the beginning of the year, and the combined army organized by the Scholar King and the Beast King was almost led by Miao Chengxiang. In the end, in the planning of the flooded valley city, if it wasn't for the rebellion of the defender Yang Shi at the critical moment, the scholar king should have died with his coalition army. When the flooding of Gucheng directed by Prime Minister Miao Cheng lasted for a whole night, after dawn the next day, the amount of water rushing down from the back mountain had been greatly reduced, and after Miao Chengxiang slept peacefully, he hurriedly took General Guan Xiong to approach Gucheng to see the results. When Prime Minister Miao and the soldiers came to Gucheng, they found that the flood that had inundated Gucheng had gradually receded along the river valley. The whole valley was as silent as death, the gates were wide open, and the streets of the valley were filled with the mud and all sorts of filth that had been washed by the flood. What surprised Prime Minister Miao was that there was no figure in the entire valley city, and there were no corpses on the streets that should be shown. Prime Minister Miao Cheng suddenly felt that something was wrong, and immediately sent Xia Yu to the back mountain to find Yang Shi's whereabouts. Xia Yu did not see any trace of Yang Shi when he arrived in the back mountain, and found out from the nearby mountain farmers that Yang Shi, the deputy general, left the back mountain at dawn after breaking the embankment and releasing water. When Prime Minister Miao learned about it, he was so anxious that he slapped his thigh, it turned out that Yang Shi had rebelled, ruined the good things of the kingdom, and let the army led by King Shusheng evacuate unscathed.

There is no other way, the life of the scholar king should not be extinguished, and Prime Minister Miao Cheng regretted it, so he could only organize the soldiers of the kingdom to completely clean up the flooded valley city, and then let the people of the valley city who were evacuated by the scholar king in advance return to the city. Prime Minister Miao Cheng felt that under his own planning, the current enemy and two armies were walking Waterloo, and the situation was very bad, and they could not be given a chance to breathe, and they should seize the time when they were now in decline, and then march in depth to attack them, completely dispel their arrogance, and let them slump from now on, and never try to touch the river valley again.

Gucheng is the border city of the Cuizhu Kingdom, from the Xuantan River Valley through the Gucheng is facing the Yunmeng Mountain at the junction of the three kingdoms, climb to the top of Yunmeng Mountain to enter the territory of the Niu neighboring country. The reason why the Cuizhu Kingdom did not find a chance to attack the two of them in turn after being harassed by the Niuling Kingdom and the Linshi Kingdom was that they had the towering Yunmeng Mountain as a barrier, which made the Cuizhu Kingdom fearful, because others condescendingly attacked you on the top of the mountain, and you could only lose your troops and retreat in defeat, and it was impossible to attack and win. But this time, Prime Minister Miao Cheng felt that the situation was different from before, and now it was a rare opportunity to organize the kingdom army to cross Yunmeng Mountain to attack in one go. Because after King Scholar led the coalition army to escape and return to China, Prime Minister Miao sent people to spread rumors and use a divisive strategy to put King Scholar under house arrest in Linshi. After the beast king fled for his life, he was never heard from since. Now that both countries are leaderless, it's a perfect time to attack. In the years of river valley disputes, Prime Minister Miao Cheng deeply realized that in order to achieve peace in the river valley, the only way to advance the war in depth and keep the war away from his own land. Then the only way to do this is to organize the generals to advance into Yunmeng Mountain and march to the enemy's territory.

Because he entered the territory of other countries to start a war, Prime Minister Miao Cheng did not dare to act rashly, because he did not have full confidence to guarantee a decisive victory, and Prime Minister Miao Cheng felt that the most important thing was to keep his basic market and not lose big because of small things. All Prime Minister Miao was very cautious in the arrangement of the march to Yunmeng Mountain, and he and Guan Xiong and the Queen Mother were stationed in Gucheng with the main force that had been lost and recovered, and still arranged General Guan Xiong as the general army of Gucheng, and the plan was to guard Gucheng by General Guan for a long time. Marching into Yunmeng Mountain, Prime Minister Miao Cheng only arranged for Xia Yu, who was more elf, to take an army with him and grope his way to the top of Yunmeng Mountain. Then, according to the development of the situation in the march to Yunmeng Mountain, the next practical strategy will be adopted.

Xia Yu took this detachment of the Cuizhu Kingdom and it can be said that they climbed to the top of Yunmeng Mountain unimpeded. Entered the territory of the Niuling Country. At present, the Niuling Kingdom is in chaos, the king is under house arrest, and Tian Long, the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, personally led troops to the border between the two countries in order to deter the Linshi Kingdom. So the defense elsewhere is unusually empty. Although General Xia Yu marched cautiously, there were no obstacles that could pose a threat along the way. Xia Yu is a wise and cautious person, and the more obstacles there are along the way, the more Xia Yu feels scared and uneasy. Because he walked out of his own land and entered the territory of other countries, his army was weak, and he also understood that Prime Minister Miao sent him to march to Yunmeng Mountain to spy on the reality for the next main march. There was no response from behind, and they rashly advanced deep into the enemy's territory, and maybe they would fall into the trap of the enemy to lure the enemy deeper. So General Xia Yu simply let the army stand still. After crossing Yunmeng Mountain, it entered the territory of Niuling Country and settled down on another cottage called Shuanglong Mountain. The reason why the shrewd Xia Yu garrisoned Shuanglong Mountain was because he received guidance from Prime Minister Miao Wen before leaving the army. This place is relatively close to the territory of his kingdom, and the second is the unique mountain of Shuanglong Village, which has the characteristics of easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is a good choice for preparing to advance into the hinterland of Niuling Country and stabilize the garrison for a period of time.

In order to increase the current pressure on the Niuling Kingdom and make them panic, Prime Minister Miao Cheng instructed General Xia Yu to plant the military flag of the Cuizhu Kingdom on the Shuanglongzhai Mountain in the territory of the Niuling Kingdom, which fluttered in the wind on the high mountains of the Niuling Kingdom, which was very dazzling. This had a bad effect on the people of Dawn in the Kingdom of Niu Ling. Marshal Tian Long, who was guarding the border of Linshi Country, immediately felt that the situation was very bad, and knew that Prime Minister Miao Cheng was taking advantage of the situation. Now it is necessary to organize forces to resist the enemy, Marshal Tian Long knows that there is no suitable candidate for this position in the imperial court of the kingdom at present, and he cannot arrive in the border land in a short time, and the military situation here must be properly handled before he can get out. At this time, Marshal Tian Long thought of Yang Shi, who had just rebelled and joined the Niuling Kingdom, Yang Shi was lured by the scholar king, and was currently in the court of Niu Ling Kingdom. In order to make full use of the current available people in the kingdom, and to test whether Yang Shi had reliable loyalty to the kingdom after defecting to the Niuling Kingdom, King Shusheng decided to let Yang Shi deal with it first. How to deal with it, Marshal Tian Long, who is good at wandering in the terracotta field, made a special explanation.

Everyone knows that Yang Shi is a person who doesn't know how to run his mind, but he received an order from the generalissimo of the kingdom to go to battle with Xia Yu, the deputy general of the Cuizhu Kingdom, Yang Shi, who is a little arrogant, feels that he knows the details of Xia Yu, the deputy general, and he is not well-known in the Cuizhu Kingdom. According to Tian Dashuai's instructions, Yang Shi quietly led a group of people and horses to Shuanglong Cottage.

According to Marshal Tian Long's arrangement, Yang Shi asked the soldiers who went with him to ambush Xia Yu first, and they couldn't just hide knowingly. Then he only took the scholar king with him, and it turned out to be a few soldiers of the Cuizhu Kingdom. Came to Shuanglong Village to shout in the summer rain. Xia Yu knows Yang Shi's nature very well, and he gritted his teeth with hatred for this guy who defected to the enemy. Yang Shi shouted to Xia Yu, he was robbed to Niuling Country because he received the kidnapping of King Scholar, and now because King Scholar is under house arrest, he heard that the soldiers of Cuizhu Kingdom have arrived in Niuling Kingdom, so he took the opportunity to sneak out, hoping to get General Xia's help and let him return to his country. The brilliant General Xia knew Yang Shi's tricks, and in order to completely eliminate this rebellious thief, he pretended to cater to him, and pretended to be enthusiastic about reuniting after farewell to introduce Yang Shi into the cottage. As soon as he entered the walled gate, the rainy general immediately ordered the soldiers to tie up Yang Shi Wuhuada. Poor Yang Shi, under the instruction of Prime Minister Miao, was imprisoned by General Xia Yu for two days, and at one noon, he was beheaded and shown to the public. According to Yang Shi's inability to withstand her torture and explain the ambush army behind, General Xia led his men and horses to wipe out all the sleeping ambush soldiers in the middle of the night on a windy and moonlit night.

After getting Xia Yu to go to the front line, due to the current special situation of Niuling Kingdom and Linshi Kingdom, there was not much threat, Prime Minister Miao Cheng sent soldiers to send enough supplies to the Shuanglong Cottage where Xia Yu was stationed as quickly as possible. Prime Minister Miao Cheng planned that the army of the Cuizhu Kingdom would be stationed in the territory of Niuling Kingdom for a long time by taking advantage of the status of Shuanglong Village. In fact, Prime Minister Miao Cheng had no intention of encroaching on the territory of other countries at all, he just wanted to defend his country from being violated by others, especially to ensure that the rich Xuantan River Valley was under the control of his own kingdom, and that the rich products of the river valley would be used to enrich the national strength of the kingdom. As the prime minister of a country, he assists the young king to benefit the people of Li, and he will have enough time to secretly continue the inseparable warmth with the queen mother.

Marshal Tian Long was found out by Xia Yu after Yang Shi's deception, and the corpse was separated, and after the tragic death, he did not feel remorse. Because Tian Dashuai felt that for a guy like Yang Shi who was not firm in his position and met with different ideas, no matter which country he worked in, sooner or later it would be a scourge, and it would not be a good thing to use the opportunity to get rid of him as soon as possible.

In order to reflect his responsibility as a courtier when the king was in prison, Marshal Tianlong also led his troops to Shuanglong Village at a very fast speed in order to prevent the army of Cuizhu Kingdom from continuing to advance towards the country, forming a military formation and surrounding Shuanglong Mountain. Only Princess Yuping, who was concerned about the safety of her brother, was left to lead a team of men and horses to station at the border of Linshi Kingdom, paying attention to the safety of King Scholar. Although Princess Yuping is a woman, when the old king was alive, she found that Princess Yuping had the qualifications to deal with complex military affairs, so she was also trained to a certain extent. This time, in such a complicated situation, for the safety of her brother, Princess Yuping had to come forward.
