Chapter 61
During breakfast, Dong Wan did not show up, but Dong Cheng came, with a look of ashamed and apologized repeatedly.
It would be fine if he was still wet at the age of thirteen, but he sent a woman who still wet the bed to the emperor to be a noble person and wet the emperor's clothes. This is so embarrassing.
Liu Xie didn't want to mention this matter either.
After telling the latest news and the plan to shrink the position and show weakness to the enemy, Liu Xie asked Dong Cheng to prepare for a war.
Although he had taken over military power and was the supreme commander of this team, Dong Cheng still had to support him for the last journey.
It is of great importance. If you are defeated, you have to find a scapegoat, and Dong Cheng will take the initiative.
Especially when showing weakness and luring the enemy.
After thinking about it, Liu Xie told him about seeing Jia Xu at night, and also told him about the situation provided by Tang Ji, and asked Dong Cheng for confirmation.
Dong Cheng was surprised. "Li Shi still has this hobby?"
"My uncle doesn't know?"
Dong Cheng's head shook like a rattle. "He is lustful, I know, but I don't know that he likes old women." He thought about it and couldn't help laughing out loud. "I understand, this is Hu's spoiled. This Li Shi has been fed since she was seven or eight years old, and she is still lying in Hu's arms..."
Seeing that Dong Cheng was inexplicably excited again, Liu Xie coughed heavily.
Dong Cheng closed his mouth awkwardly.
"In the opinion of my uncle, can Li Shi control the Feixiong Army without Li Jue's protection? Also, Hu Feng killed Fan Chou, do he have Fan Chou's old subordinates among his subordinates, and do he have any opportunities to take advantage of?"
Dong Cheng rolled his eyes for a long time and squeezed out a sentence. "Your Majesty, even if Li Shi is incompetent, the Feixiong Army is an elite cavalry and should not be underestimated. Your Majesty has no cavalry to fight against him, and there is no strong general like Lu Bu to rush forward, so it is better not to take risks."
Liu Xie didn't say anything.
He knew that Dong Cheng was a mature saying.
Although Li Shi was weak, Fei Xiong Army was elite, and it was no better to take risks, and he did not have that capital.
Xu Huang's martial arts skills are good, but he is not as strong as Lu Bu.
But he just was unwilling to give up.
The great opportunity created by hard work was destroyed by the Feixiong Army, who actually had only more than one thousand cavalry?
It's so furious to think about it.
——
Guo Si was wearing a cloak, squinted his eyes, looking at the position extending from the bottom of the plateau to the top, and finally glanced at the battle flag of Dong Cheng on the plateau, and couldn't help but spit.
"This trash dares to attack me, and he will definitely kill him this time."
Xie Guang, who was beside him, said nothing, and his eyebrows were twisted into pieces.
"What's wrong, thank you?" Guo Si laughed and said, "Isn't it a timid?"
Xie Guang raised the whip. "This position... looks wrong."
“What’s wrong?”
"I can't say it, it just feels wrong." Xie Guang looked back and forth twice, but still couldn't see anything wrong, so he had to say: "General, don't be careless. Since Yang Dingdu knows that he is in line with the mountains and is waiting for help, Dong Cheng cannot be prepared at all."
"What can he do if he is prepared?" Guo Si looked disdainful. "Have you heard the scout camp say? They touched the front of the camp last night, but the people in the camp didn't notice it. I guess, when Dong Cheng heard me come, he huddled into the camp and didn't dare to come out. These Kanto people, no matter whether they read or not, or how many books they read, were all useless."
He coughed and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm. "Dong Cheng was originally promoted by nepotism. If he hadn't been surnamed Dong, how could he survive until now?"
Xie Guang didn't say anything.
It is not a secret that the generals of Xiliang look down on Dong Cheng, and he himself does not take Dong Cheng seriously.
But he always felt something was wrong. Although the position in front of him was well-behaved and nothing surprising, the momentum of the entire army was different. The soldiers everywhere in the formation looked very calm and could not feel the tense atmosphere they should have.
This feeling has been felt before Yang Ding’s formation, but Yang Ding has the danger to defend, so he has the confidence. Why is Dong Cheng?
After looking around in front of the formation, Guo Si got off his horse and washed his face by the Wei River.
Squatting beside the Wei River, slid down along his face with the water droplets, Guo Si looked at the other side of the river and became stunned.
"General, it's time to return to the camp." Xie Guang reminded.
The army was setting up camp, and their heads and deputy generals came to patrol the camp. Even when facing a weak enemy like Dong Cheng, they were a little rash.
"It would be great if there was so much water last year." Guo Si stood up, put his hands on his hips, and sighed with emotion.
Xie Guang looked at Guo Si in surprise, then reacted, sighed and nodded in agreement.
Last year, the generals in Liangzhou fought in internal conflicts, and blood flowed into a river. One important reason was that the drought caused poor harvests and food shortages. In order to survive, the generals in Liangzhou plundered each other, and conflicts surged, resulting in tragic disasters.
"This is God's will, and it cannot be done by man."
"Then what do God meant?" Guo Si asked, "How should the celestial phenomena half a month ago be explained?"
Xie Guang frowned and said nothing.
After following Guo Si for many years, he had a deep understanding of Guo Si.
From Guo Si's questions, he heard Guo Si's uneasiness and also heard Guo Si's hesitation. He was not as confident as he showed in the upcoming battle.
"What are the general worried?"
"We are all rough people and do not understand the will of heaven. The sky is so profound, but Jia Wenhe must know." Guo Si turned around and stared at Xie Guang's eyes. "Do you think Jia Wenhe is dependent on the emperor because the will of heaven is beneficial to the court and the little emperor?"
Xie Guang was about to speak, but Guo Si said again: "For the past four or five years, Jia Wenhe has wandered between me, Xiliang people and the court, and he will not offend him. Seeing the court's future halted, he suddenly became loyal to the little emperor and said that it has nothing to do with the celestial phenomena. Do you believe it? I definitely don't believe it."
Xie Guang smiled bitterly. "The general means..."
"If God's will benefit the court, Jia Wenhe also suggested pardoning everyone except Li Jue, do you think I am also among the pardons?"
“Reasonable…”
"In theory, although I am not as evil as Li Jue, I am not far from each other. When I confronted Li Jue, my subordinates shot the arrows of the carriage. In Xinfeng, I ordered Gaoshuo to burn the academy and forced the carriage to kill. How many times is this crime enough to kill? Even if Jia Wenhe has face, can he plead for me?"
"General is saying that Jia Wenhe intends to disagree with General and Li Jue?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Guo Si smiled twice and said, "Of course, there is another possibility."
Xie Guangxin understood it. "Make meritorious service after guilt?"
Guo Si laughed silently. "The court is too weak. Even with Yang Ding and Yang Feng's support, he is still no match for Li Jue. But if I were added, it would be different. Lao Xie, think about it, what can I do to let Jia Wenhe know my sincerity and not let Li Jue be suspicious?"
Xie Guang thought for a while. "There is a solution, but I don't know if the court has the courage to take action."
"Speak and listen."
"The Feixiong Army is an elite army. Li Shi has always been above the top and thinks that Huo Piaoyao has reborn. The general moved his camp to attack Dong Cheng, and the attack was urgent. The young emperor would definitely call on Yang Feng from the left to rescue him. At that time, Li Shi led the Feixiong Army to fight, and he would probably be eager to make contributions and refuse anyone's cooperation. In this way..."
Guo Si thought for a while. "Yang Feng dared to fight the Feixiong Army?"
"Yang Feng relied on his bravery and knew Li Shi's ability. If he knew that Li Shi was isolated and helpless, he might not dare to fight." Xie Guang laughed and said, "Of course, if Yang Feng did not dare to fight, it would prove that they were as weak as before. The general could let go of the attack, take Dong Cheng's position, and then negotiate with the little emperor."
