Crossing straight to the blue sky

Chapter 913: Dark Chess is Wasted

The generals all agreed with a smile: "Yes, the vanguard general is young, he just needs to see more. He will definitely win battles in the future and will definitely be the major general's right arm. The Qian family has another powerful general."

I was thinking in my heart, you are a family, so naturally you have the final say, you don't care, they are outsiders, what is there to care about.

"Let's put Yunzhou aside for now and inform him that the army should immediately move camp and join us as soon as possible."

In this attack on the Central Plains, Qian Qizhi actually led four million soldiers and horses.

The troops were divided into two groups. On the surface, he led three million soldiers and headed straight for the Central Plains. Secretly, his nephew led another million soldiers and headed for Yuanzhou, which was considered a hidden chess move.

Now, this secret move has failed.

The Northern Army is strong, powerful and brutal. His two million soldiers are no match for them, but with the addition of Yuanzhou's one million soldiers, a total of three million should be able to defeat the Northern Army.

"Did the people sent to visit have any news? What did Duke Zhou say?"

  Otherwise, people outside would say that Qian Qizhi is insidious and cunning?

On the one hand, he sent troops to launch a surprise attack on the territory under the jurisdiction of Duke Zhou, and on the other hand, he sent people to negotiate with Duke Zhou about forming an alliance to fight Duan and Tan.

Both sides proceed simultaneously without any delay.

It would be best if they could form an alliance, and let Zhou's army be the frontline cannon fodder to fight Duan and Tan. If they don't form an alliance, he won't suffer any loss, and he can secretly snatch Yunzhou from Duke Zhou, which is good.

"Duke Zhou disagreed with the alliance and killed the people who negotiated with him."

Qian Qizhi nodded expressionlessly. They had to go to war with the Northern Army, and at the same time guard against the Zhou Army taking advantage of the situation. Unfortunately, he could no longer spare the troops to defend against it.

We have to think of a way to make Duke Zhou confused and distracted from the battle situation on their side.

"Marshal, are you worried about Zhou's army?" A general saw what the marshal was thinking and asked tentatively.

Qian Qizhi looked up at him, and the general knew that he had guessed right, and said, "Marshal, don't worry. The Zhou army is busy with its own affairs. The spies sent back news that the Northern Army is also fighting Duke Zhou."

Qian Qizhi was instantly relieved and felt much better. He was not the only one who was beaten by the Northern Army.

Right now, he only needs to find a way to destroy the Northern Army.

At this time, a messenger suddenly shouted outside the tent: "Report to the Marshal, there is news from the northwest that the barbarian army is attacking our border. General Liu who is guarding the border can no longer resist. Please ask the Marshal for help."

  Qian Qizhi:

There was deathly silence in the big tent.

Qian Qizhi's gloomy face made the generals dare not even breathe and they lowered their eyebrows and eyes.

The situation is extremely unfavorable!

The issue of the Northern Army has not been resolved yet, and trouble has occurred again in the Northwest.

  Why am I so unlucky?

"Why did the barbarians send troops? We have an agreement with the barbarian tribes that the two sides cannot fight within ten years. We have been doing well for so many years, why... How can they break the agreement at this time? Isn't this taking advantage of the situation?" A general murmured.

Who are you asking this to?

  The agreement was negotiated between the Marshal and the tribes of the Barbarians. They also wanted to know what was going on. Their families, young and old, were all in the northwest. If the Barbarians took over the northwest.

"Marshal, the northwest is our base camp. We cannot give up! We must send troops back to support General Liu as soon as possible."

We must fight in the Central Plains, but we cannot abandon the Northwest.

  When the generals thought of their families in the northwest, they all persuaded the marshal to send troops to support the northwest.

Qian Qizhi was exhausted for a moment, cursing in his heart, "They are all useless. Why are there so many incompetent people holding him back?"

His years of planning had come to nothing, and unless he killed them, he would not be able to calm his anger.

Beijing, Yang's House

  Taifu Study

"Sir, our spies in Shangzhou have sent us news that General Shan is dead."

When the staff received the news, they immediately came to report to Master Yang, as the matter was of great importance.

"Is the news true?" Hearing such explosive news, even the usually calm Yang Taifu showed a look of shock. I hadn't heard that General Shan was ill, so how could he die suddenly?

After being shocked, Yang Taifu suspected there was a conspiracy.

A person as scheming as him will always be subconsciously suspicious and overthinking.

At the beginning, none of the people he sent to Shangzhou for help came back, and they all died in General Shan’s territory.

I heard that there was a fierce fighting outside. Not only the Duan, Tan, Zhou and Shan forces were fighting, but Qian Qizhi of the Northwest Army also came to the Central Plains to intervene.

  A few days ago, the spies reported back that the Northern Army had also come to the Central Plains.

When Master Yang thought about his current dangerous situation, he couldn't sleep for the whole night.

"It's absolutely true. The news has spread throughout the streets and alleys of Shangzhou. In order to find out the truth, the spies sneaked into the Shan family and saw the body of General Shan with their own eyes. Once General Shan is gone, the four eastern states will probably be in chaos. My lord, we must make plans early!" the staff suggested.

If there is chaos in the east, the capital city, which is the nearest city, will be in great danger!

Master Yang waved his hand, "Let me think about it."

After thinking for a while, he said, "The east won't be in chaos for the time being. Even if General Shan dies, there is still a Major General. With him, the Shan family army will be there."

Tutor Yang was interrupted by his aides before he could finish his words.

"Your Excellency doesn't know. I heard that the Major General is missing and is not in Shangzhou. The Shan family has sent people to search for him in the eastern part of the country. There are also rumors that the Major General is also dead, along with General Shan, at the hands of General Shan's concubine."

Because of this rumor, many men who had mistresses secretly and quickly ended their affairs for fear of following in General Shan's footsteps.

  Mr. Yang:

This is outrageous!

"Is the news true?"

There was a gleam of light in Taifu Yang's eyes. If the major general also died, the eastern part would be leaderless, and the Shan family army, without an heir, would soon be divided up.

If the East were to become chaotic, it would be profitable.

"Notify a few generals to come over for discussion."

Tutor Yang was interrupted again, by that aide again.

"Sir, it's too late. The spies have learned that the eastern part has been targeted by the Northern Army."

The staff slowly informed Taifu Yang of the news brought back by the spy, asking Taifu Yang to make a decision.

In the east, they couldn't fight, and they couldn't beat the Northern Army. I heard that the Northern Army was so brutal that even the Northwest Army couldn't beat them.

How should they deal with the capital in the future?

Surrender? Or fight?

When Taifu Yang received the news from Shangzhou, it was too late to send troops to attack. There were people from Qingyun waiting in the four eastern states, ready to reap the benefits. If Taifu Yang dared to rob them, he would definitely be crippled.

To be on the safe side, the generals discussed and decided to send someone to ambush halfway. No one else would be suitable to send, so they drew lots and whoever caught the person would go, which was fair.

At this time, Qingyun's army had swept Kunzhou and was preparing to march into Shangzhou.

The reason why Qingyun and his men were able to capture Kunzhou so quickly and smoothly was largely due to Qingyun.

Every time she conquered a city, the sun would come out in that city, and there would be good weather and good harvests. This miracle alone made the people worship her as a god.
