A scout on horseback rushed to Chenshui Pass and shot the letter arrow up the tower.
After pulling out the letter arrow and looking at it a few times, Zuo Shiren's face suddenly turned cold. Ling Su next to him also fell silent for a long time after looking at it.
"Qi De, Xu Buyi is here after all." Zuo Shiren tore the letter into pieces with a sneer on his face.
"If he wants to save Yuan Song, he will die on his own. Qi De, I won't hide it from you. Until now, I still can't figure out how a small shop selling drinks can step by step become the King of Shu.
Bit."
"Of course there is help from Lord Yuan, but more importantly, it is his own ability." Ling Su did not sarcastically, but there was more worry in his tone.
"The army is numbered 30,000. I estimate that Xu Buyi only has 10,000 at most. But these 10,000 have given us a lot of deterrence."
Ling Su raised her head and slowly narrowed her eyes.
"My lord, I think under the current battle situation, am I, Dongling, on the offensive side? Or on the defensive side?"
"Naturally, we are the attackers. They want to attack all the way to the three states of Donglai."
Ling Su shook his head, "No, as soon as Xu Buyi came, we became the defender. If you follow my suggestion, your lord must not rush into battle. It only takes some time to defend Chenshui Pass. These two armies
The spirit of joining forces will collapse. It is impossible to say that Xu Buyi will retreat to Western Shu if there is no victory for a long time."
"Although we have a strong military force in Dongling, Xu Buyi has been famous all over the world for a long time, and his military skills are superb. It is not suitable for us to fight a battle outside the city."
"To defeat Xu Buyi, you need to be quick and quick. If you are not careful, you will fall into his trap."
Zuo Shiren thought for a while, "What Qi De means is that consumption is the priority?"
Ling Su nodded, "It's not a waste of military supplies, but a waste of the patience of Xishu and Donglai. Today, Yuan Song is surrounded by enemies from both sides. To put it bluntly, as long as there is a big rout on Yuan Song's side,
If the situation is strong, then the King of Yuzhou in the inner city will seek the greatest benefits and will definitely send troops southward to wait for an opportunity to occupy Donglai."
"In this world, driven by profit, many people will become crazy."
Zuo Shiren, who was standing by, was deeply convinced.
"Next step, if my guess is correct, Shen Tu Guan and Xu Buyi want to lure our troops out of the city."
"Don't worry, Qi De. No matter what method he uses, this time I listen to Qi De and will hold his troops in Chenshui Pass until the energy of these two armies is exhausted!"
Ling Su smiled happily, "When the counterattack comes, my lord will be able to vent his anger."
"I have equal virtue and can defeat a hundred thousand soldiers."
…
Tread.
Xu Mu, who finally set off, took a handful of more than 6,000 people through the trail and arrived in front of Hulin Town.
"Meet the King of Shu."
"Meet the King of Shu!!"
Shen Tu Guan, Yuan Chong and others were all waiting at the city gate. When they saw Xu Mu dismounting and approaching, they all went up to greet him.
"You're welcome." Xu Mu took a few steps and asked, "Who is nephew Yuan Xian?"
Yuan Chong clasped his fists excitedly, "This is the king of Shu."
Although there is not much age difference, due to the difference in status, it is not an exaggeration for Xu Mu to call him a good nephew.
"Knowing that my nephew is on the front line, I have always been worried, fearing that something might happen to my nephew." Xu Mu sighed and patted Yuan Chong's arm in an old-fashioned manner.
Yuan Chong was a little moved. He didn't expect that the King of Shu in front of him would treat him so well.
"With Uncle Shi here, the Dongling traitors will definitely be defeated!"
Look, he's called uncle. This relationship is instantly solidified.
"If you and I work together as one, why worry about the traitor being immortal!"
After spitting out this sentence, Xu Mu gave up the second round of rainbow farts and turned around instead, looking to the side at a silent general.
He knew that this person was the rightful owner.
At the age of more than thirty years old, he is known as the third best general in the world.
"General Shentu, I have admired you for a long time."
Shen Tuguan smiled and said, "King of Shu, I have long admired you. King of Shu has been tired all the way. I have arranged a banquet. Please come with me."
Between smart people, there is often no need for any friction.
…
"So, the King of Shu only brought six thousand people?" In a secluded stone pavilion, Shen Tuguan frowned.
He had originally guessed that there might be about 10,000 people. But he never thought that there were only more than 6,000 people, which was really a drop in the bucket.
"There are a lot of things going on in Xishu recently. It's hard to get these more than 6,000 people together. But General Shentu should know that even if I come here alone, it has a significance that cannot be underestimated."
"I understand." Shen Tuguan nodded, "It is a great favor that the King of Shu can come to help. But even if...the King of Shu claims to have thirty thousand along the way, I am afraid that Lingsu in Chenshui Pass may not believe it."
"General Shentu is wrong." Xu Mu smiled, "May I ask General Shentu, what would have happened if I hadn't come?"
"As soon as the preparations are complete, the army in Chenshuiguan will go out to attack. I understand what the King of Shu means. Once the King of Shu comes, Chenshuiguan will not dare to move. It is more likely that they will defend the pass and then
Choose the right opportunity. Only the King of Shu can achieve this kind of deterrence."
Xu Mu sighed deeply in his heart.
The Shen Tu Guan in front of him is worthy of being a famous general in the world, and he can get through it almost instantly.
"Does the King of Shu have a plan?"
Xu Mu shook his head, "In the past, Zuo Shiren might have fallen into the trap. But now, he has a Yinlin beside him, and it is no longer easy to fool him. The best situation for our coalition forces is to lure the enemy out of the city and ambush them.
War. But this plan has clearly been seen through."
Shen Tu Guan nodded, "The King of Shu and I have the same idea. The best plan is to lure the enemy out of the city. But what we want to do is not to deceive Lingsu, but to deceive Zuo Shiren. If we want to
To successfully lure the enemy, you need to make a plan to drive Ling Su away from Zuo Shiren."
"General Shentu is so sworn, he must have an idea?"
"Only if it is reasonable can Zuo Shiren fall into the trap. King Shu, if you want to lure the enemy, the best way is to attack with false pretenses."
Xu Mu was startled, and then his eyes lit up.
He finally understood why Shentu Guan was able to fight his way out of the heavy siege. Such a general was indeed rare in the world. It was a pity that he was a family general who had followed Yuan Song for several generations and could not have instigated rebellion.
"Before the false attack, how to mobilize Ling Su is the most important thing for us." Shen Tuguan continued to speak.
With Lingsu around, Zuo Shiren is less likely to be fooled. Victories one after another have established Lingsu's status in the Dongling army. Even Zuo Shiren will probably be against Lingsu in battle.
Su Yan obeyed the plan.
"Don't be anxious, General Shentu. Today you and I will join forces. I believe Ling Su will be more cautious after receiving the news in Chenshui Pass. This matter needs to be discussed in the long term."
"It's natural."
Xu Mu laughed lightly and raised his head, "I heard that General Shentu is good at the ancient formation method. If not, you and I will study it several times together. I don't know if I can use the ancient formation method to defeat the Dongling Army.
Woolen cloth?"
Shen Tu Guan also smiled.
"King Shu, our family has long had family rules. The ancient formation methods are not allowed to be spread to outsiders. Please forgive me, King Shu."
"Nothing, I'll just ask." Xu Mu felt regretful in his heart.
God was kind to Yuan Song and he got a rare and famous general.
