Nearing the inner city, a long team of more than a thousand people slowly stopped their horses. In front of the horse team, the leader was a man with a broken arm. At this time, his face was solemn and he looked forward silently.
Not far ahead, there is a town, which is still a little remote from the prosperous inner city. There are only a few people walking in the street at the entrance of the town.
"General Chen, why did these people choose a place like this? Didn't you say that An Shiliang Store is in a big city?"
"Mo Li." Chen Sheng said calmly. Coming here, he knew what Military Advisor Jia meant, so he didn't panic at all.
"As expected by the military advisor, we must choose a remote place like this to kill people and set fires."
After a pause, Chen Sheng exhaled and led the people to continue walking into the town.
If it were him, he would definitely not enter the town at this time. But the military adviser said that things such as robbery and murder would not be carried out in the town.
"Enter town!"
…
"I guess that even if he kills people for money, he will choose to be outside the town, in the woods or deserted villages that are suitable for ambush and murder." Jia Zhou frowned and spoke in a deep tone.
"That's why I asked Chen Sheng to pick a knight to dress as a civilian husband and follow him all the way."
Xu Mu listened carefully, then thought for a while and said, "Wenlong only has more than a thousand people. If Liang Wangzang had a lot of ambushing troops, he might not be able to stop him. I guess Wenlong must have relied on Yuan Song.
side."
Jia Zhou laughed, "I can't hide it from my lord. Yuan Song has a royal surname. The King of Liang will definitely not choose him to cooperate and support an old dynasty. Therefore, the two forces should not have much relationship."
.Furthermore, Yuan Song's current appearance is to please the lord and ask Xi Shu to send troops to fight Zuo Shiren together."
"Yuan Song will help. As long as Chen Sheng takes his people to Yuan Song's outpost camp, then none of the Grain King's men will dare to move."
As Jia Zhou said, Yuan Song had a strong sense of crisis. In order to survive, he sent Yan Tang over again and again as a lobbyist, regardless of the price.
"I have told Chen Sheng to take a small road immediately after leaving the town. If you continue to take the Guanlu Avenue, you will be following the ambush army's wishes."
"Wen Long is as wise as a demon."
…
When he walked into the town and walked to Anshi Liang Store, Chen Sheng didn't feel any nervous.
"Shopkeeper Chen, I added a small change, totaling 120,000 taels."
"Pack the food first." Chen Sheng shook his head.
The shopkeeper of the grain store thought for a moment, nodded and walked back.
Chen Sheng smiled calmly.
After loading the grain cart and checking it for a while, Chen Sheng looked around, quickly walked to the horse, and held an iron knife with one arm.
"Do it!"
Not long after, a clear chant resounded near the grain store.
Chen Sheng roared angrily, lifted up his robe, was naked with one arm, and holding a knife, he slashed the grain store manager to death in front of him as he ran away.
The more than a thousand people accompanying him, most of whom were knights, also used their swords to repel the incoming enemies.
Dancing with a single sword, Chen Sheng's expression was resolute. These bloody days suddenly disappeared after returning from Jubeidi. Most of the time, he stayed in Shuzhou and worked as a logistics general. Of course, he was in charge of logistics.
All Shu generals, big and small, will worship him. His own little master has always been very kind to him.
But for some reason, deep down in his heart, he still likes the kind of battlefield where he rushes to kill with a sword.
Click.
He chopped down a Liangxing guard who was holding a knife and knocked him to the ground. He raised his elbow and wiped his face several times.
"Get out of the city, take the grain truck out of the city!"
The official officers who arrived, and even the more than a hundred guards of the grain store, all looked sad for a while, and no one dared to move.
"Whoever stands in my way, I will kill!" Chen Sheng raised his knife and repeatedly struck it on the horse's back, making a clanging sound.
"Step aside!"
More than a thousand knights and Shu soldiers roared angrily. Following Chen Sheng's instructions, they quickly got on the grain truck, coming and going in a hurry like a group of bandits robbing the city.
"Didn't you say that when the Shu people bought grain, they would intercept and kill them on their way back? This... they started taking action first!" In the grain store, there were voices from time to time, which sounded a bit unbelievable.
A majestic logistics general from Xishu actually killed people and robbed grain in a town in the inner city. Who would have thought of this! What's even more terrifying is that he actually spent a long time helping to load the grain truck.
"Quickly, go tell Hall Master Chen Anshi."
Outside the town, Chen Sheng was riding on a horse, laughing constantly. He had not felt so comfortable for a long time.
"General Chen, you just used your hands to kill so majesticly." Beside Chen Sheng, an elegant middle-aged man with a sword behind his back spoke in admiration.
His name is Yuan Xiu, he is the incense master of the Jiangbei branch, and he once entered Shu with Shangguan Shu. He has always been a little dissatisfied with the chief helmsman who does not know martial arts. But as Xi Shu conquered six states, he is now,
I have already expressed my admiration for the chief helmsman.
"When I was in Wangzhou City, I followed my master to fight Di Gou. Even if one of my hands was broken, I could still kill seven in and seven out with a knife in one arm." Chen Sheng laughed comfortably.
"General Chen, what should we do now?"
"According to the military advisor, we will avoid the official road and go around the small road to Laizhou. The military advisor said that the ambush place will definitely be on the official road. It's ridiculous that those people thought that we would collect grain and return to Shu.
, taking the official path is the safest."
"When we get closer to Laizhou, Yuan Song will definitely have a frontline outpost to guard against the inner city. Lord Yuanxiang immediately sent people into the inner city and told Chen Sheng of Western Shu that he had discovered Laizhou when he was buying grain and returning to Shu.
Nearby, there is a group of bandits secretly moving and approaching Laizhou."
"General Chen, why do you say they are bandits?"
"That's what the military advisor meant. It's not good to say it too directly. The people on Yuan Song's side will understand when they hear it."
Everyone in the world knows that if the king of Yuzhou goes south, the first separatist force to bear the brunt will be Yuan Song, the king of Donglai.
…
To the north of Laizhou, the person guarding Guancheng is Donglai General Shentu Guan. At this time, this Confucian general was still on the closed balcony, stroking his pale beard and reading a military book.
It wasn't until he heard about the enemy that he frowned and stood up.
"It's General Chen Sheng of Western Shu. He sent people to come quickly and said that he saw thousands of bandits and they were approaching Laizhou."
"Chen Sheng? Who is he?"
"Information says that he should be a trusted general of the King of Western Shu."
After a moment of silence, Shen Tu Guan spoke.
"Although this thing is a bit strange, in any case, according to my lord's strategy, Xishu is not suitable for the enemy for the time being. You can order two battalions of troops to respond. If those so-called bandits dare to approach me, Donglai
Outpost, shoot without mercy."
"The inner city is now in chaos, and the King of Yuzhou is still fighting in Dingzhou. It is impossible to say that these aristocratic families are responsible for such things, so why not fight!"
"Take your orders!"
Only after General Pi had gone far did Shen Tu Guan stand on the balcony of the city gate with his hands clasped behind his back, looking into the distance for a long time.
If Donglai wants to go further, it can only use the strategy of "one alliance and one enemy", and Xishu is the most suitable ally. Zuo Shiren of the three states of Dongling is also the most suitable enemy.
“Great things can be expected.”
After a while, Shen Tu Guan's voice drifted in the wind.
