39, and return to the valley

After Lei Hong entered the river valley, he saw from a distance that the combined forces of the scholar king and the beast king were stationed around the valley city, the pennant fluttered, and the momentum was violent, General Lei guessed that the enemy army would definitely come to block their entry after discovering his arrival, Lei Hong ordered the soldiers on the march to be ready to enter the battle at any time, and to walk all the way in the river valley and observe, pay attention to the dynamics of the coalition army. To Rheuon's puzzlement, until his vanguard arrived outside Vale, there was no sign of the coalition forces going to move. And this time their garrison is really a bit confusing, they did not besiege Gucheng, and specially left a passage for Gucheng to enter and exit. Lei Hong speculated that it was not the scholar king who arranged his pockets and let them all enter the valley city, and then besieged the valley city and wiped them out. Because Lei Hong was the first army and brought a lot of military food and grass, General Lei Hong led the troops and swaggered into the valley city, and then still did not see the allied army of the scholar king to besiege the river valley. Because the main army led by Prime Minister Miao Wen has not yet arrived, Guan Xiong, the defender of Gucheng, only observes the movements of the coalition army on the city wall all day.

On the way to the march, Prime Minister Miao Cheng has been wondering why the coalition forces that have long been stationed in the valley did not take this opportunity to carry out an effective attack, but have been standing still. There are all kinds of indications that the enemy will only take action this time after waiting for the arrival of Prime Minister Miao Wen and his large army. This fully shows that the enemy army must have made preparations in advance, and has a chance of completely defeating Miao Wen. Prime Minister Miao Wen sat in the carriage, walking on the river valley, while thinking about the fact that this expedition to the river valley would definitely have a lot of thrills and unpredictability. The enemy was definitely prepared, and the enemy knew that the fundamental reason why they couldn't win in the valley was because they couldn't fight Miao Wen. Miao Wen predicted that the enemy army would come to compete with him this time, and he would definitely have a good move to deal with him. Therefore, Miao Wen felt that when he came to the river valley this time, he should be particularly cautious and careful.

Prime Minister Miao Cheng had already grasped that the enemy army did not besiege Gucheng, and also left a passage for the entry and exit of Gucheng, Miao Wen felt that the enemy army did not simply lay down their pockets, let them all get in, and he closed the net. Miao Wen speculated that the reason why the enemy army did this was that they had an absolute chance of winning, and they didn't care how Miao Wen arranged the garrison. This means that no matter whether the army of the Cuizhu Kingdom is stationed in Gucheng or not, it will not affect the plan and arrangement of the coalition army to defeat the Cuizhu Army. Prime Minister Miao Wen was puzzled, and before he approached Gucheng, Prime Minister Miao ordered the soldiers to stop marching and camp on the spot. Prime Minister Miao Cheng wanted to pause and observe the movements of the enemy army.

Prime Minister Miao Cheng adopted the method of static braking, and simply stationed his troops in this place where he had not yet reached Gucheng, and did not take any action, but only ordered General Lei Hong to rush back to the capital immediately after completing the task to protect the safety of the capital court in case of accidents. After General Lei received the order to return to the capital, he was very happy, and the young woman of the shopkeeper at the Fuyun Inn simply made General Lei dream, and he felt that he could not stay in the river valley for another day.

Prime Minister Miao Cheng changed his previous mentality of being able to win steadily, and this time he had an ominous premonition about the abnormal actions of the enemy. In order to prevent his sweetheart from accidents in unpredictable disputes, Prime Minister Miao arranged a team to protect the Queen Mother and move to the mouth of Zizhu Valley to settle down in this very safe place. Prime Minister Miao's intention was very clear, if the war in the valley happened, the queen mother could withdraw from the valley in advance to ensure safety.

In the face of the current situation that does not seem to be severe, but is actually very serious, Prime Minister Miao Cheng has no extra thoughts to create opportunities with the Queen Mother to warm up, and Prime Minister Miao Cheng feels that before the enemy army does not act, he must keep his troops still, and wait for them to make a move before waiting for the opportunity to move. General Guan Xiong, who was stationed in Gucheng, received instructions from Prime Minister Miao Cheng to close the city gate and keep no one moving inside and outside the city.

King Shusheng found that after Miao Wen led his army to the river valley, he went against the usual norm and did not move. He couldn't make up his mind, so he asked his master, Daoist Hongyang, for instructions, and Daoist told King Shusheng that the coalition army had been stationed in the river valley for a long time, and now it was time to take action, and this time he had to take measures to gather all the main forces of the Cuizhu Kingdom in the river valley, and he had a way to defeat them. The Taoist chief told the scholar king that the Cuizhu Kingdom was now garrisoning troops in the river valley, because Prime Minister Miao Wen had not entered the valley city, and it was divided into two parts. Miao Wen garrisoned troops outside Gucheng, and she calculated that because the coalition army of the scholar king was blocked by the defenders of Gucheng, they would never dare to rashly bypass Gucheng and enter the river valley to attack Miao Wen. The old Taoist of Hongyang told the scholar king that now he was going to unexpectedly introduce the coalition army outside Gucheng to attack Miao Wen stationed outside Gucheng. However, when the coalition forces bypassed Gucheng to attack Miao Wen, Guan Xiong, who was guarding Gucheng, would definitely lead the defenders of Gucheng to rush from behind, so that the coalition forces would be attacked from both sides. At this time, the main forces of the Cuizhu Kingdom in the river valley were all brought together, and this was the result that Hongyang Lao Dao wanted to achieve.

Miao Wen has been fighting for many years, and he is also an extremely treacherous person, and he will remain unusually cautious until he has thoroughly figured out the enemy's intentions. When the enemy army bypassed Gucheng and rushed towards their garrison, Prime Minister Miao Cheng maintained an unusually calm, he knew that the enemy army was not trying to win in one fell swoop, but to achieve the effect of luring the snake out of the hole, that is, their purpose was to lure out the defenders of Gucheng and implement the strategy they had already planned. Prime Minister Miao had already explained to General Guan who was stationed in Gucheng that without the flag raised by their military camp, General Guan must remain immobile in the city.

The rude beast king has been complaining that this old way has dragged them in this river valley, not allowing them to send troops to fight, and he feels that his hands are itching terribly, and when he heard that he was going to send troops to rush through the valley city to attack Miao Wen's military camp, he volunteered, took the lead, and rushed out, and the other soldiers and generals came later, and they all felt that there was no fear in their hearts. Prime Minister Miao Wen saw that the enemy army was menacing, and felt that he could not fight hard with it at this time, otherwise he would fall into his trap, Prime Minister Miao simply led the troops to retreat to the hinterland of the river valley, and the scholar king saw that Miao Wen was chasing and killed, Miao Wen did not fight, and did not follow the defenders of Gucheng, and found that the cunning Miao Wen had seen their intentions. Because they were already frightened by Miao Wen's calculations, they did not dare to pursue Miao Wen and go deep into the hinterland, and King Shusheng ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops and continue to station the coalition army in the place where the original garrison was.

Hongyang Lao Dao also felt that Miao Wen was not easy to deal with at this time, he could actually gain insight into the other party's intentions, such a person was cautious and must not be negligent. Lao Dao felt that he had to take action to make Miao Wen feel that there was nothing unusual about the dispatch of the scholar king this time, so as to prompt Miao Wen to change his original understanding. The old Dao of Hongyang instructed the scholar king to divide the soldiers into two routes, with the scholar king leading an army to attack Miao Wen, and the beast king leading an army to storm Gucheng.

On the second day, King Shusheng led an army that suddenly rushed out of the barracks and rushed straight towards Miao Wen's army. Prime Minister Miao Cheng saw that the enemy army was moving really this time, and it was bound to win, so he hurriedly organized his troops to resist the enemy, and the two armies met without saying much, and fought in the river valley. Because Prime Minister Miao Cheng has been speculating about the intentions of the enemy army, he did not make full preparations for the sudden rush of the scholar king, and was at a disadvantage in terms of power, Prime Minister Miao Cheng's army was defeated one after another, and Prime Minister Miao hurriedly ordered to set up a banner that needed the support of Guan Xiong, the defender of Gucheng, only to find that there was also an army attacking the city in the direction of Gucheng. At this time, Prime Minister Miao Cheng felt that he was too worried and did not prepare for conventional responses, and repeatedly speculated about the true purpose of the enemy army, resulting in the current situation. The only way now is to advance by retreating, conserving strength, and fighting again in the coming days. Prime Minister Miao led the team, fought and retreated, until they retreated to the mouth of Zizhu Valley. The scholar king saw that Prime Minister Miao Wen was defeated and retreated, and did not continue to attack the Zizhu Valley, so he commanded the army to return to the valley city to help the beast king siege the city, the beast king was a fierce guy in the battle, and led the soldiers to set up a ladder and storm the city, and the general Guan Xiong, who was caught off guard, hurriedly released rows of sharp arrows on the city wall, and the soldiers of the beast king were killed and wounded, but he had no intention of retreating, and used the tactics of the sea of people, and attacked one after another. When it was difficult to parry, the scholar king stopped chasing Miao Wen and led the troops to shout and kill. At this time, Prime Minister Miao Wen found that the scholar king returned to help the war in order to capture Gucheng. I felt that the opportunity to turn defeat into victory had come. Hurriedly took the Queen Mother, who had settled at the mouth of the Zizhu Valley earlier, and led this large army, which was not damaged at all, to counterattack from behind the scholar king. The scholar king and the beast king were preparing to jointly attack the city, and saw that the cunning Miao Wen was retreating as an advance, changing the norm and killing the generals with great momentum. General Guan Xiong, who was dealing with it on the city wall, saw that when he was unable to parry, Miao Cheng, who thought that he had been defeated, turned around to help him instead, and immediately became full of energy, and moved out bundles of sharp arrows, like dense raindrops to shoot at the enemy's troops. Thinking that the siege was hopeless and the expected goal was about to be achieved, the scholar king hurriedly ordered the troops to be withdrawn. The Miao Wen army that came in clusters took this opportunity to enter Gucheng.

According to the intention of Hongyang Lao Dao, the purpose of gathering all Miao Wen's troops together and then cleaning up has been achieved. Next, Hongyang Lao Dao is going to sell the medicine in his gourd in this river valley.
