Chapter 59: Someone Behind the Scenes

Zuo Chongtu led the army to just return to the camp, and the generals did not rest, and went directly to find Xu Liangsheng.

Not long after Sima Yibing's Fuge battalion also returned, Xu Liangsheng and Sima Yibing were still discussing the details of peace with Xiqiang.

Both of them know that this is a wolf-swallowing strategy, as long as Xiqiang and the grassland fight, then the purpose will be completed, and the key now is how to convince the Qiang King Yuwen Duxia and Tuoba Su, every detail of which is not wrong, once there is a link mistake, the consequence of success and failure is to strengthen the alliance between the Qiang army and the grassland, which is by no means what Xiliang is willing to see at this time.

"The Xiqiang army is going north, the reserve must be empty, if the Jiannan Dao army goes west, ......" Xu Liangsheng was saying, Sima Yibing interrupted: "Don't think about it, before the Xiliang victory, the fifth family will never send troops." ”

Looking at Xu Liangsheng's slightly puzzled eyes, Sima Yibing explained: "Although Xiliang and Jiannandao are allies now, and there is a layer of in-law relationship, it is impossible to let the fifth family send charcoal in the snow at this moment, if Xiliang can't even survive this catastrophe, then the fifth family will reconsider Xiliang's strength, whether it is an enemy or a friend is not yet known......

With a cold snort, Sima Yibing said: "The icing on the cake is easy, send a charcoal man in the snow, if the fifth family is really a particular person, it will not turn its back on the court and unite with us." ”

Nodding thoughtfully, Xu Liangsheng was just about to say something, but the curtain in the army was lifted, and Zuo Chong walked in angrily.

Sima Yibing stood up violently, looking at Zuo Chongtu's expression, this is to kill someone! Hurriedly blocking in front of Xu Liangsheng, Sima Yibing hurriedly said: "Old Zuo ......"

Zuo Chong Tuhu was stunned, and roared: "Sima Yibing, you get out of the way of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu must cut down this scholar today, and form an alliance with the Qiang people, just like him can think of a yellow-mouthed Confucian!"

Xu Liangsheng looked at the angry Zuo Chongtu and asked, "Why can't you form an alliance?"

"Han and Qiang are different, if you are allied with the Qiang people......"

As soon as Zuo Chongtu spoke, Xu Liangsheng interrupted: "The general himself knows that this is not a reason not to form an alliance. ”

Zuo Chengtu stared at Xu Liangsheng coldly, and said: "I, Xiliang, have a grudge with Xiqiang for generations......

Xu Liangsheng still interrupted: "It's not either. ”

"The Qiang people are treacherous ......"

"It's not. ”

"Lost City and Lost Land......"

"It's not. ”

......

Zuo Chengtu took a deep breath and said angrily: "Why do you want to form an alliance with the Qiang people, it's not that I, Xiliang, can't fight them! Once we join forces, how can we explain to the robes in the army? The two places have been grudging for a long time, how can we wipe them clean with a single move? If the sergeants below know about the joining forces, the army will even mutinied! The people of Xiliang will also smash the backbone of the prince!"

Mo Bai, who was behind him, patted Zuo Chongtu's shoulder and said, "Uncle Zuo, can we not tell the sergeant below......"

Zuo Chengtu was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "That'...... If you don't tell the sergeant, which of the Lian's executioners is it, I also understand your thoughts, just drive the wolf and devour the tiger, but is it really stupid to be Yuwen Duxia? I don't have a single soldier in Xiliang, and Xiqiang will do it with the grassland?"

"So, it depends on Xu Liangsheng's ability. Mo Bai raised his eyebrows and smiled in the direction of Xu Liangsheng.

"You...... Is there really a way?" Zuo Chongtu opened his mouth and said: "I said it in advance, this news must not be known to the sergeants, the consequences are too serious." ”

Xu Liangsheng's face was a little stiff, he smiled bitterly, and said, "General, to tell you the truth, Xiaosheng can't do anything now." ”

Zuo Chongtu was just about to attack, and Xu Liangsheng changed his words: "There will always be a way, and let Xiaosheng think about it first." ”

"Okay, you Xu Liangsheng, I can't help what you have to do with Lao Tzu?" Zuo Chongtu rolled up his sleeves and was about to raise his hand, Mo Bai hurriedly pulled Zuo Chengtu and said: "Uncle Zuo, suppress the anger first, and let Xu Liangsheng think about it, if there is really no way, no matter how bad it is, we can choose not to join forces!"

"Hmph, Xiliang is also your family anyway, what you say is what!" Zuo Chongtu snorted coldly and walked out of the camp with a few of his subordinates.

When Zuo Chongtu walked out, Mo Bai came to Xu Liangsheng's side and asked, "You don't really think of this layer, do you?"

Xu Liangsheng replied: "I thought of this layer......! way, there really isn't at the moment. ”

Mo Bai patted his head and said, "My Xu Da champion." ”

Xu Liangsheng patted Mo Bai's shoulder and comforted: "Your Royal Highness, don't worry, in fact, it's easy to hide from the sergeant, what we need to think about is how to let Xiqiang and the grassland fight without moving a single soldier, there are already some eyebrows, but there are two places where Xiaosheng hasn't thought through it thoroughly." ”

Sima Yibing on the side asked, "Where is it?"

"First, now that Xiqiang occupies the sandbank, the army's grain and grass are all supplied by the grassland, Xiaosheng wants to know what kind of promise Xiqiang made to the grassland, so that the grassland can be so willing to supply the Xiqiang army. Moreover, as far as Xiao Sheng knows, the grassland has been fighting for years without success, and the supply of grain and grass is already stretched, and it is winter, so there is a shortage of grain and grass, and the grassland can afford to be supplied by the 200,000 army for at least three months? Is the grassland hungry by itself?

"Second, why we don't know anything about the movements of the Xiqiang army, when General Xun and I were in Yinzhou, we didn't hear half of the news, and even General Xun was killed, and the whole Yinzhou was still in the dark, until the local army attacked the city, and then woke up. ”

Sima Yibing and Mo Bai were both lost in thought.

After a while, Mo Bai took the lead in speaking: "Let's not mention the first thing for the time being, what does the second thing have to do with the current situation?" Sima Yibing also nodded, this is where he doubts.

Xu Liangsheng leaned back in the chair, tapped his thigh with his right hand, his voice was a little dignified, and said: "Although it is two points, Xiao Sheng faintly feels that it is one thing, the inexplicable extra grain and grass in the grassland and the sudden blockage of Xiliang news......"

Sima Yibing suddenly said, "You mean someone is behind the scenes?"

Nodding, Xu Liangsheng said: "That's right, Xiao Sheng also thinks so, and the status of this person behind him will not be low, otherwise it is impossible to manipulate such a big situation." ”

Mo Bai pointed to it thoughtfully, Xu Liangsheng shook his head and said: "Xiao Sheng thinks it won't, if the one on the dragon chair really unites the grassland Xiqiang, Xiliang's eastern front at this time should have fallen, Xiao Sheng thinks that maybe the north court is the most likely." ”

"Jiannan Dao can't run away. Mo Bai interrupted.

"His Royal Highness the Prince is newly married Yan'er, and he has only been suspicious of his father-in-law for a few days!" Sima Yibing on the side quipped.

Mo Bai sneered: "Hey, you and I both know in our hearts how sincere this marriage is, if you want to say that his fifth family stabbed him in the back, this son will not be surprised at all." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has been thinking a lot, if the fifth family really unites with the Xiqiang Grassland to destroy Xiliang, what good can it do to him? Sima Yibing persuaded on the side.

Mo Bai nodded, signaling, he understood what Sima Yibing meant, after all, he was the son-in-law of the fifth family, if there was an inexplicable estrangement, it would not be good for private or public affairs.

Xu Liangsheng looked at the two of them and said, "Xiao Sheng thinks that if the black hand behind his back can't be found out, the matter of joining forces can only stop here......"

Both of them expressed their approval.

Xu Liangsheng looked at Mo Bai and asked, "Where is Cao Zaidong?" Cao Zaidong was in charge of half of Xiliang's plates, and he bore the brunt of this matter. ”

"That's ...... Eighty percent are happy in the red and pink alleys in Guazhou. At the mention of this, Mo Bai was a little embarrassed.

Sima Yibing patted his forehead, snorted coldly, and said, "Ben will go to him in person, without saying much, Sima Yibing turned around and walked out of the camp."

Mo Bai also followed, in case Sima Yibing's anger came up, he would cut Cao Zaidong again.

Xu Liangsheng was left alone to think about the details.

At the same time, Shazhou and Tuoba Su also told Yuwen Duxia about Xiliang's statement.

"General, do you think that this matter is a little true and a little false. Yuwen Duxia pondered for a moment and asked Tuoba Su.

Tuoba Su replied truthfully: "Five points true, five points false, the intention to join forces is true, and the world is false." ”

Yuwen Duxia was stunned for a moment and asked, "Does the general think that Xiliang wants to join forces?"

Tuoba Su explained: "Back to the king, judging from the current situation in Xiliang, if Xiliang does not join forces with us, he will also join forces with the grassland, and one person alone against two families is by no means a situation that Xiliang is willing to bear, and they can't afford it, because there is a court behind him that will stab a knife at any time." ”

After a slight pause, Tuoba Su continued: "However, there is a saying on how to join forces, and it is not believed that the subordinates who advance and retreat together, there must be some doorways among them, most of them are thinking that we should first work hard with the grassland people and then reap the benefits of the fishermen." ”

Yuwen Duxia said: "Then why do you have to agree? It is not much good for us to destroy the grassland, but Xi Liang is happy to get it, and the pros and cons should be clear to the general." ”

Tuoba Su replied: "Your Majesty thinks that it is nothing more than a game between the two sides, and it is not clear who is the chess piece and who is the chess player! How can it be so easy for Xiliang to take advantage of the fisherman's profits? It is better to make use of it a little, and His Majesty wants to see Xiliang in the grassland lose both. ”

Yuwen Duxia hesitated for a moment and said, "Then this matter will be left to you, remember, no matter what, you must not let your sergeants get the news of joining forces." And also...... How much to leave a little bit of morality, the grassland gave the army food and grass, don't rush to kill it all, of course, these are all afterwords, general, you have to remember that our primary goal is to take Xiliang, no matter what they say, what the outcome will be in the future, Xiliang must be destroyed. ”

"Yes. Tuoba Su gave a military salute and turned to leave the tent.

After Tuoba Su left, Yuwen Duxia said to himself: "Will the always proud King of Liang take the initiative to seek to join forces? Has the situation in Xiliang reached such a point?

Tuoba Su, who had just left, heard the laughter coming from the camp tent, sighed helplessly, and continued to walk outside the camp.

Xiliang has learned to play tricks, this is a good thing? Tuoba Su doesn't think so, this game is tantamount to walking a tightrope, a little careless may lose the whole game, didn't the king see this?

A barbarian is still a barbarian!
