In the Daicheng treasury, Jiang Wang was cleaning up all kinds of Taoist secrets and copying them in the Taoist stage, while talking to Zhongxuansheng who was doing the same thing on the opposite side of the bookshelf.
"North of Dai City, if they don't come, more people will come. To the south of Dai City, if we don't come, no one can come." Chong Xuan Sheng said in a casual tone: "When we talk about it, anyone can tell two things.
It makes sense. But the facts are clear to everyone with a discerning eye."
He smiled: "And I'm already very kind and give them a share of the strategic merits."
"Isn't it because we need to rely on Xie Baoshu's relationship to take the lead in the Fengli West Road offensive?" Jiang Wang asked coldly.
Zhong Xuansheng stopped checking Taoism and looked at him in surprise.
Jiang Wang added: "Besides, we are already exhausted and can't eat much. If they really want to bypass us and do it on their own, how can we fight with them? It's better to just take what we need as we do now."
"
"Amazing, Sir Jiang!"
Chongxuan Sheng praised, and then said: "Those who don't know how to fight can go to the battlefield. Those who only know how to fight must not go to the battlefield. This is... what my grandfather said."
He smiled inexplicably.
Then he said: "If you can think of these, you can already be a qualified general. But you didn't mention the more important part.
War is never war itself.
Yes, we worked hard to get behind enemy lines, worked our butts off, and accomplished great feats.
But what is the basis for this series of feats?
It was Xie Shuai who suppressed Xia Jun on the frontal battlefield.
It was our 300,000-strong army that was pressing down on the enemy city. The Xia army was so suppressed that they did not dare to take the lead and could only hold on. Their main force was retreating steadily and had no time to care. Only 3,000 of our troops came and went.
After a big battle, hundreds of thousands of people were fighting, and everyone was fighting for their lives.
In the end, if it's just our battalion that wants to steal merit... we won't be able to go far.
As you fight later, you will find that your troops are getting fewer and fewer, your supply is getting more and more difficult, your strategic space is getting narrower and narrower, you are in trouble everywhere, and everything is not going well... The so-called "shipping heroes without freedom"! Where does that come from?
What about good luck? Most of what is lost is the human heart."
Jiang Wang thought thoughtfully: "So we want to tie up both Bobozhao and Xie Baoshu?"
"Bao Bozhao, the eldest son of Uncle Shuofang, the confirmed successor of Uncle Shuofang. Xie Baoshu, the nephew of the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front of the Qi Army, regards him as his own son. When we had a conflict with him, Commander Xie personally came to make peace...
Chong Xuan Sheng laughed: "Two good people!"
"Indeed it's not bad." Jiang Wang laughed.
At this time, Fourteen stood quietly at the door, with his face facing outward. He listened to the two of them chatting, and he didn't know whether he was practicing or in a daze.
No matter where she is, she has her peace.
Jiang Wang checked for a while and then asked: "By the way, where is Zhong Xuanzun? Didn't you say he would come to Daicheng?"
"Yes, I was originally going to give him an extra burden. I thought about it seriously for a long time and considered it for him." Chong Xuansheng sighed and said with some worry: "Since he didn't come to Daicheng, he must be holding back his energy.
To do something earth-shattering. To put it simply, he went crazy."
"What big event could it be?" Jiang Wangwang became curious.
"Who knows? Sneak attack on Guiyi? Harass Pinglin? Challenge Yu Liyang? Want to go around and break out the flaw in Tongyang City's defense line?" Chongxuan Sheng lowered his head and continued to check Taoism.
While casually sighing: "Oh, they all blame me for being too good and putting too much pressure on him! Of course, you Sir Jiang also deserves credit.
I turned over and over and suddenly stopped.
With a snap, he closed the books in his hands.
"Daye!"
He was very sure of it.
"Daye? This...is impossible? Even if he goes, what can he do?"
No matter how uneducated Jiang Wang was in military matters, he still had a general understanding of the Xia Kingdom when he came to participate in the battle against Xia. He knew where Daye Prefecture was.
When people criticize someone, the most vicious thing they say is usually "I'm going to dig up your ancestral graves."
Daye Mansion can basically be regarded as the ancestral tomb of the Daxia royal family.…
Its importance is self-evident.
The official configuration of Daye Prefecture is higher than that of other prefectures. In addition to its own government troops, there are also mausoleum guarding regiments that will not be dispatched when the throne changes. When Emperor Xia Xiang died in battle, he was buried after the war.
I don’t know how many soldiers volunteered to guard his tomb. You can imagine the qualities of the soldiers who survived the Qi-Xia war...
Although Zhong Xuanzun is a peerless genius, he is only in his twenties after all. With a vanguard battalion of 3,000 people, what can he do in Daye Mansion?
"Yes, this is impossible." Zhongxuan Sheng murmured: "But among all the impossible choices, this is the most likely."
"Are you starting to worry?" Jiang Wang couldn't help teasing him when it was rare to see the fat man making mistakes.
"What's there to worry about?" Chong Xuansheng sneered, "Did I not notice Daye Ye? I didn't choose it because it was impossible to succeed! With both of us being smart and brave, the chance of success is slim.
.How can his Chongxuanzun be an exception?"
Jiang Wang thought to himself, I am indeed wise and brave, but your courage may be a bit lacking.
But Zhongxuansheng murmured again at this time: "Perhaps the only thing that is beyond my calculation is his personal power...
"I'm better than him in everything, except when it comes to things like fighting, I'm not as brutal as him.
As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Wang: "Brother Wang, tell me, how strong is he after the arrival of God?"
This is the second time that Zhong Xuan Sheng has confirmed with Jiang Wang the strength of Zhong Xuan Zun.
With Chong Xuan Sheng's wisdom, this is almost unimaginable.
It can only be said that competing with Zhongxuanzun is indeed his deepest obsession.
Human wisdom can only enlighten others, but it is difficult to break "self-grasping".
That’s why Buddhist monks regard “non-attachment” as the state of Dzogchen.
Jiang Wang said seriously this time: "Facing him in the Wailou Realm, I'm afraid it's still difficult for me to win if we play on the radio station. Let's go with 37. If it's a life and death fight, it's possible for anyone to live or die. Face to face.
I didn't stand a chance with him in the presence of a god. At that time, he had dispersed all his magical powers, and my sword power could not catch him. But I have no way of measuring how strong he is in the presence of a god."
Chong Xuansheng knew Jiang Wang very well and knew that his evaluation was very reliable. This man would not belittle his opponents and would never belittle himself.
But there was no way to measure these four words... and it really made it difficult for him to make an accurate judgment. And this was precisely related to the possibility of Zhongxuan Zun's trip to Daye Mansion.
After thinking for a while, he asked again: "If you were a god, how strong would you be?"
He naturally wanted to use Jiang Wang's strength to judge Zhong Xuanzun's strength.
But Jiang Wang shook his head: "I can't really understand it until I get to that point."
He held the Taoist book in his hand: "I can only say that I had a premonition that 'I...
Immortal red gold flowed in his eyes, and he whispered the last two words: "Very strong!"
This old magic library in Dai City was suddenly swallowed up by silence.
Jiang Wang actually didn't say anything substantive.
But deep down in Zhong Xuan Sheng's heart, there was indeed a huge sense of security. Suddenly, he didn't care much about whether Zhong Xuan Zun could succeed.
The person next to you doesn't always do the "right" thing.
There are often even choices that run counter to their common interests.
He often does things he considers "stupid".
However, it is impossible for any of the "smart people" that Chong Xuan Sheng knew to be able to make choices that were in his interest to gain his trust without suspicion.
The person next to you can't always win.
When he stood up to face Wang Yiwu at Linzi East Street, he was not sure. But he still stood up.
When he stood up to challenge Zhongxuan Zun at the general station in the western suburbs, he was not sure. But he still stood up.
Without any hesitation, the man rose up and the sword roared.
Just like the essence of all tactics on the battlefield, they are all designed to create a situation where the masses will overwhelm the few and the strong will attack the weak.
No one wants to take on a challenge that they are unsure of.
But there are always some choices, based on personal safety and honor.
People call it a "bond".
It is an emotion that is constantly fighting and cannot be let go.
Yu Jiangwang and Yu Zhongxuansheng, the friendship between them has gone through too much.
Before interests, we can have nothing to do with each other.
Before the crisis, we can trust each other in life and death.
Therefore, at this moment, Zhong Xuansheng did not speak.
he just wanted
"I'm really looking forward to that moment."
Chongxuan Sheng used the shortest time to reorganize the city defense of Dai City. Those who submitted were directly deployed in formation, and those who refused to submit were temporarily detained.
Compared with Ximing City, the recruitment and surrender work in Daicheng City is much easier.
This was because Xue Rushi, the lord of the city, helped to negotiate, and also because Dai City chose to surrender when a large army was besieging the city, there were no reinforcements, and the enemy troops were attacking from the rear.
What's more important is that in Ximing City at that time, the Qi army was isolated. Chongxuan's talk of victory was just a big picture. At this time, in Dai City, there would be a steady stream of Qi troops coming, and the Xia army
There won't be another one.
The final outcome of the war may still be unknown, but for a foreseeable long time, Dai City will definitely be in the hands of the Qi army.
In this way, one can imagine the will of the Dai City defenders to resist.
Previously in Honggu City and Xinjie City, there was neither time nor conditions, so Chong Xuansheng simply ignored the thought of surrendering and drove away the defenders.
In Dai City, he used many tricks.
He made everyone from Xue Rushi down to be docile and docile.
Excluding those who died in the offensive and defensive battles, and those who surrendered but refused to "help the tyrants", a total of 6,000 people finally chose to surrender to Qi.
Of course, they are not necessarily very reliable, and Chongxuan Sheng will not use them to carry out difficult combat missions.
It's just to fill the vacancy before the reinforcements arrive from Linwu direction, so as to maximize the use of time.
Chongxuan Sheng left a thousand men to garrison Daicheng, and used a shadow guard to take charge of Yiying city defense affairs, waiting for most of the Qi army to arrive. Another five thousand men were organized into the Xinrong Camp, with Xue Rushi still as the general.
It took two days to complete the work of reorganizing the city defense and reorganizing the troops.
He did not wait for the reinforcements from Qingzhuan, and directly led the victory camp and Xinrong camp to attack, aiming directly at the south of Dai City.
It is close to Shouan City in Huiluo Prefecture.
Before the troops left Daicheng, Chongxuansheng had such a conversation with Xue Rushi. Chongxuansheng asked him to stay in Daicheng and be responsible for the city's defense. He said: "I don't want to hurt you or dampen your enthusiasm. The contribution of dedicating the city to Qi State
will not forget."
Xue Rushi replied: "I have no other thoughts in my heart. I only plan for my future wealth."
So he took him with him on the expedition.
In the process of leading the army to surrender, I met Fan Ao, the Marquis of Xuanping, and saw Fan Ao's painful return process.
Xue Rushi had no room for change in the Xia Kingdom.
Only when Qi finally won a great victory and destroyed Xia Sheji in one battle could he be able to raise his head again.
Therefore, such a person might be more loyal and more useful than the generals in the coalition forces of the Eastern Region countries.
With the victory camp as the cavalry army and the Xinrong camp as the infantry army, the troops will be in peace and prosperity.
One day later, Victory Camp arrived at Shouan first.
Chongxuansheng did nothing else. He only joined forces with Jiang Wang and Shi Shi to lead the cavalry around the city and block the traffic in Shouan.
No one is allowed to leave the city. If any flying beast flies in the sky, he will shoot it with an arrow.
Instead of attacking the city, they only persuaded them to surrender. After all, Linwu was completely captured again, and Fengli Mansion was about to fall. The army and people of Shou'an should plan their lies for themselves.
Two days later, Xinrongyingguo arrived.
Xue Rushi's loyalty and dedication, as well as the means of running the army, can be seen from the marching speed.
Chongxuan Sheng deliberately did not arrange any restraints, and it was entirely up to Xue Rushi's own initiative. Because of the current environment of Fengli Mansion, the Qi army did not lack these six thousand men.
And Xue Rushi, with a group of surrendered soldiers who lacked morale, was able to reach Shou'an in two days, and the entire battalion of 6,000 people, with not many people left behind, is a good example of loyalty when he was still a general of the Xia Kingdom.
, may not be able to do so in such a timely manner.
Of course, in the Xinrong camp, Zhong Xuansheng also temporarily bribed no less than three informants who were unknown to each other to verify the information. If Xue Rushi really had something on his mind, he couldn't hide it from him.
So with Xinrong Camp...
Continue to persuade the Shouan garrison to surrender.
"It's impossible to fight."
Chongxuansheng stood on the ground, jumped from the Shou'an city wall, and said to Jiang Wang, who was sitting cross-legged on horseback and practicing: "Brothers are all tired, and the Xinrong camp has just surrendered. I asked them to attack the city and die, but they didn't take it."
It would be strange if the knife turns back and cuts you. Xue Rushi can’t hold him back!"
"But it's good to persuade them to surrender. There is a good chance of surrendering."
"I used the cavalry to blockade Shou'an for two days, cutting off all news. People in the city were already panicking."
He was full of confidence: "Xinrong camp is Xia Jun again, and he just happened to show up to explain. Xue Rushi, as the original lord of Dai City,
I always have some friendship with these city lords, guards and generals."
"Damn it, Xue Rushi, your mother ate heart-eating grass and mixed it with blind powder, so she gave birth to a scoundrel like you who is seeking glory from the country! If I want to surrender like you, I'll be damned! I'm afraid I'll have a son in the future.
No butthole!" On top of Shou'an City, the lord of Shou'an City shouted loudly.
"Hey! This city lord is from Changluo!" Chong Xuansheng turned to Jiang Wang and said, "Bring on that accent!"
