Shi Zhongtang claimed to be the King of Shang in Chang'an, and the news spread throughout Guanzhong.
In a village, the village leader was respectfully introducing his daughter to King Wei.
"Your Highness, the villain's daughter is the most beautiful woman in the village. If the king likes her, he will let her sleep with her today."
King Wei glanced at the nervous girl beside him and said calmly: "No need."
Muramasa looked disappointed, "The king always needs people to serve him."
"Need not!"
It was rare for King Wei to explain again.
"Your Highness!"
Several riders entered the village and found King Wei.
The sergeant dismounted, and a sharp breath made Muramasa take a step back.
He glanced at the indifferent King Wei, and the girl pulled his sleeve and walked back.
The father and daughter murmured.
"Aye, His Highness has a wife and children!"
"The Crown Prince has many women. If you can fall in His Highness's eyes, you will definitely have a concubine in the future."
Muramasa felt very sorry.
"Your Majesty, Shi Ni is claiming to be the King of Shang in Chang'an, under the command of Da Feng."
King Wei stood up and looked in the direction of Chang'an.
"Wife the monkey and wear the crown."
He narrowed his eyes and said, "Shi Ni's move is to boost morale. Is he... thinking of leaving for a decisive battle?"
The village leader was listening to these military and state affairs in the back, and suddenly blurted out, "After becoming the village leader, the villain always wants to make his family more prestigious!"
King Wei glanced at him and said, "Instruct the scouts to investigate the movements of the rebels in Chang'an. Also, inquire about the movements of the Northern Xinjiang Army."
"Take orders!"
King Wei found that he could not find anyone to discuss with.
Several generals in the army looked at him with clearly awe, and as soon as he spoke, they were obedient.
Moreover, the qualifications of these generals are also average. At this level, it is difficult to make suggestions for them.
If Chang Ding were here...
King Wei thought of Ding Chang, and also thought of the sound of Erlang.
He looked at the sunset and suddenly thought of the word father.
"I miss you!"
He waved his hand as if to get rid of that weak mood.
Then, he saw dozens of riders galloping towards the village under the setting sun.
The person at the head...
"Why!"
The man was waving to him and smiling brightly.
Muramasa's daughter saw from the side that the corners of King Wei's mouth were slightly raised.
It's actually somewhat handsome.
ah!
I seem to have missed something!
"Jianming!"
Li Han entered the village, dismounted from his horse, and said with a smile: "Prince of the Supervisory State! Is the next step going to be to ascend the throne?"
"Aren't you afraid that that person will deal with you, Aweng?" King Wei said with a smile.
"Aweng said, he is a man who went underground with half of his body. Anyone who wants to kill him can just do it."
Li Han looked at King Wei carefully, "It looks darker, but he's not thinner."
King Wei turned around and went in.
"Hey! Why didn't you ask me why I came?" Li Han followed, asking with some dissatisfaction.
"Come here as soon as you come." King Wei entered the room, sat down, and someone laid out a map.
Li Han said angrily: "I wanted to come, but Aweng refused, saying that Guanzhong is now full of rebels and the risk is too great. It wasn't until I learned that you were thriving in Guanzhong during the escape that your Majesty sent someone to supervise the army.
.I found Aweng and said I was worried about you suffering a loss, so Aweng agreed."
He didn't say how to deal with King Liang, or even how to behave in a bad way, or to rebel, but just think about King Liang's temperament, and you will know that it will not be easy for him to get there.
King Wei's eyes warmed slightly, then he disappeared, pointing to the map and said: "In the battle of Daozhou, the name of Ashina Yanrong's famous general was completely wiped out by Zi Tai. Now the Northern Xinjiang Army has occupied Daozhou, and Yuezhou is weak.
, but the Northern Xinjiang Army did not attack..."
Li Han touched his chin and said playfully: "What Zitai is good at is fishing. According to me, he is keeping Yuezhou to threaten Shi Zhongtang."
"That's right." King Wei said: "He left Yuezhou without attacking, but Shi Zhongtang had to deal with it. Otherwise, once Yuezhou was defeated, the rebels' way home would be cut off, and their morale would be lost.
.Zitai used this move to force Shi Zhongtang to come out for a decisive battle."
Li Han nodded and looked at the map carefully, "This battle will probably determine the general trend of the Central Plains."
"It not only determines the general trend of the Central Plains, but also determines the general trend of many places." King Wei pointed to the Southern Zhou Dynasty on the map and said: "The Southern Zhou Dynasty must be very contradictory at the moment. I hope the Northern Xinjiang Army will win! But Zitai's people are facing the outside world.
He is so aggressive that once the rebels are defeated, he will definitely go south, and the kings and ministers of Southern Zhou may not be able to sleep well."
"If the rebels win, Shi Zhongtang will be busy suppressing the Central Plains and will have no time to care. Speaking of which, the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Zhou Dynasty should expect Shi Zhongtang to win."
The two were discussing, and there was a noise outside.
"We are the supervisors! Where is Your Highness?"
"Supervisor? Document!"
"Give it to him!"
King Wei glanced at Li Han.
Li Han said softly: "He set off first, I took a detour and passed him."
This kind of friendship is rare!
After a while, a sergeant came in and reported, "Your Majesty, your Majesty has sent a supervisor over there, named Lei Bai."
King Wei raised his eyes and saw Lei Bai standing outside the door. Then he came in and saluted, "Lei Bai has met His Highness!"
King Wei said coldly: "What did Aye ask you to do?"
"Supervising the Army!" Lei Bai was a chamberlain, but he looked mighty.
"Just two words: duty!"
King Wei waved his hand as if to ward off flies.
Lei Bai said: "His Royal Highness Haojiao learned that when your Majesty ordered us here, he said that we have the power to supervise the army."
King Wei raised his head.
Lei Bai smiled and thought to himself that if he was to supervise the army, he would mix with the soldiers.
Looking for opportunities, poaching... With His Majesty's status as envoy and the promise of promotion, who wouldn't want to follow us?
King Wei pointed outside.
"roll!"
…
As an angel, traveling outside is like meeting an official. Even a military envoy must bow his head after seeing an angel.
This was not the first time that Leiber traveled as an angel, but it was the first time that he was scolded.
He was stunned.
roll?
We are angels!
"Your Highness, are you trying to despise His Majesty?" Lei Bai subconsciously moved out of the backstage boss.
He looked around and noticed something was wrong.
Why did those soldiers look at me wrongly?
There is contempt, disdain, anger, and...
There is just no fear or awe!
God!
Leiber's heart trembled.
"It's quite difficult for the Northern Xinjiang Army to go deep alone. If you lead the army here alone, you can't just sit back and watch..."
"It's a pity that I can't contact him, otherwise it would be better."
King Wei and Li Han actually ignored Lei Bai and discussed the next situation.
Lei Bai was so embarrassed that he couldn't put the knife into its sheath, and hissed: "Do you want to despise His Majesty, Your Highness?"
This is the only thing angels can rely on.
The Tang Dynasty is still there.
The emperor is still here!
Who dares?!
King Wei looked up at him, frowned slightly, and nodded, "Yes!"
Leiber: "..."
…
"What is Shi Gongming doing?"
Shi Zhongtang asked coldly.
There were a lot of ice cubes placed in the main hall - thanks to Li Bi, there was a lot of ice in the palace, which allowed Shi Zhongtang to have a not too hot summer.
He Zun, the imperial censor of Xinzha, said: "We are still attacking Daizhou."
"Is he going to die of old age under Daizhou City?" Shi Zhongtang sneered: "Let me tell him that the war is about to begin. He and I are both grasshoppers on the same rope, sharing weal and woe."
He Zun nodded, "Once Daizhou is captured, Lizhou will face the threat of Yandong's army. Once Lizhou is lost, the Northern Xinjiang army will be cut off from its return route, and the food route will also be cut off."
"Li Xuan threatened me with Yuezhou, but I can put him in a dilemma with my backhand."
Shi Zhongtang squinted his eyes, "The art of war is about studying people's hearts. Does he think he has figured it out thoroughly?"
…
"Fire the arrow!"
Arrows rained down from Daizhou City, and the rebels from Eastern Xinjiang who were attacking the city fell one after another.
Immediately, they put ladders on the top of the city and began to attack the city.
Shi Gongming was not far from the city, calmly watching the less intense offensive and defensive battle at the top of the city.
Sima Xie Zhong beside him said: "My lord, Daizhou, is it time to leave?"
Shi Gongming said: "Daizhou cannot stop my army, but the world has changed. I originally thought that Shi Zhongtang could block the Northern Xinjiang army from Lizhou. In this way, we in Eastern Xinjiang will never have a chance. I didn't expect that in Northern Xinjiang
The army defeated Lizhou. In the battle of Daozhou, the Northern Xinjiang army was not yet stable. I thought that Shi Zhongtang could at least suppress Li Xuan and drive him back. But I didn't expect it!"
Shi Jian said: "Ah, Shi Zhongtang was so incompetent that Daozhou was defeated."
"He is not incompetent." Shi Gongming said: "The person who commanded the battle in Daozhou was Ashina Yanrong. This person is known as a general, but compared to Li Xuan, he is much inferior. Shi Zhongtang should have been in charge personally."
"My lord, Shi Zhongtang is a profound man. Guanzhong is the foundation of the emperor. Now that he has taken over Guanzhong, his power has expanded greatly. We must not offend him!" Xie Zhong advised.
"Aren't I attacking Daizhou?" Shi Gongming smiled, but his smile was a little cold.
Xie Zhong raised his head and took a look, only to see that both sides were killing each other feebly on the top of the city.
Isn’t this bitch just cheating?
More than ten riders came to report, "Ms. sir, the scouts encountered Shi Zhongtang's envoy."
"Make them intense!"
Shi Gongming pointed to the city head and said, "Bring it here."
The envoy was a civil servant named Zhao Xuan. His chubby face was filled with a reserved smile. He greeted him and said, "I have met Mr. Shi."
Before setting off, Shi Zhongtang told him that Shi Gongming must send troops for this trip. To this end, Shi Zhongtang also gave him a few good hands.
"How is Duke Shi?" Shi Gongming asked calmly.
"The Duke is now the King of Shang." Zhao Xuan reminded.
"Really?" Shi Gongming looked indifferent.
"Does Mr. Xuan know the current situation?" Zhao Xuan asked.
Shi Gongming didn't like the tone of this lobbyist, but he couldn't afford to offend Shi Zhongtang. Shi Jian couldn't help but said: "Isn't it just a big defeat in Daozhou?"
"Dalang! Don't be rude!" Shi Gongming pretended to be angry.
"Yes!" Shi Jian agreed, but looked rather unruly.
"Now that the king is in control of Guanzhong, victory is already certain." Zhao Xuan said with a smile, "The Northern Xinjiang army is going deep alone. The king is ready to send troops to defeat this formidable enemy in one battle."
Is Shi Zhongtang preparing to leave seclusion?
In Shi Gongming's judgment, Shi Zhongtang should stick to Guanzhong and take Guanzhong as his foundation.
This is a new situation.
"The army is reorganizing in Guanzhong, and the king is looking for fighter opportunities." Zhao Xuan looked at the army and said: "Yandong's army is majestic. If it can break through Daizhou and march to Lizhou... Lizhou is the only way for the northern Xinjiang army to communicate with the north.
Passage. If Lizhou is attacked, the morale of the Northern Xinjiang Army will definitely be unstable."
Shi Gongming had naturally seen this situation a long time ago.
But why should I take action for you?
Shi Gongming remained silent.
——Shi Gongming, this old fox, will not let go of the hawk until he sees the rabbit. Can you promise...
Zhao Xuan said: "The king's goal is in the south. He holds Guanzhong in his hand and is in charge of the south. The king will be satisfied. The northern territory is vast. Once the Northern Xinjiang army is defeated miserably, people from Lizhou to Taoxian will be panicked and ready to attack.
After this battle, the king is willing to reward you with the north."
This bait is quite big.
If the entire north is captured, it will be a super tonic for Shi Gongming.
Shi Gongming's eyes brightened slightly.
Xie Zhong whispered: "The situation in Guanzhong is complicated. Shi Zhongtang is in charge of Chang'an, and he also wants to reconcile all parties in Guanzhong. What he values more is Guanzhong..."
In the north, even if Shi Zhongtang had the intention, at the moment he was unable to do so.
Therefore, his promise should be sincere.
Destroying Daizhou is nothing!
Shi Gongming glanced at the dilapidated city wall and thought that if Daizhou was defeated, and then his troops would approach Lizhou, the Northern Xinjiang army would be threatened on its way back, and it would definitely be shaken.
Shi Zhongtang took advantage of the situation and sent troops, which was how he won the peace.
With the right time, right place and right people, Shi Zhongtang will win this battle!
