Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 57 Acting
When the news of the Shu army's spring plowing behind the mighty city of Qinchuan reached the barracks of the Zhou army, Wang Jing and Han Lingkun looked at each other and laughed.

Such behavior undoubtedly proves that the defense center of the Shu army in the future will be in the serial eight villages of Huangniupo, and the troops will gather here to protect the cultivated land behind them.

As long as the chain of eight villages is defeated, Mighty City will naturally fall without attack.

Compared with the precipitousness of Mighty City, the Eight Villages in a row are nothing at all.

Luo Youdu was also stunned by the other party's series of coquettish operations, what kind of ghosts and snakes are they.

Why is this fighting like a child's play?
What he didn't know was that historically the situation was more childish.

Because it was too childish, there were only a few strokes in the history books, which also led to him not having this memory.

Historically, there was no war in the later Shu Dynasty for ten years. From the emperor to the generals, the soldiers and the common people all abandoned the war.

Wang Jing's just a tentative attack even broke through the Shu Kingdom's chain of eight villages, and approached Weiwu City.

As the commander-in-chief of the Xiongwu Army Supervisor Zhao Jizha, he took his concubine to travel around the mountains and rivers. After arriving in Deyang, he heard that Zhou Jun was so brave.This guy who claimed to be Zhuge Liang's disciple was so scared to pee when he was hundreds of miles away from the front line.

Yiqi Juechen fled back to Chengdu.

Seeing that he had chosen such a thing as the coach, Meng Chang didn't know what mood he was in, so he had him chopped off.

Now because of a reminder from Luo Youdu, Zhao Jizha felt that Zhou Jun was nothing more than that, so he boldly went to the front line, imitating his idol, and tossing about the operation of growing grain before the army.

How did he know that the food planted by Zhuge Liang's army was to make sure Sima Yi would not dare to fight, and it was a means to lure Sima Yi to fight.

Although Zhuge Liang's military strength is not as strong as Sima Yi's, he does not lack the confidence to defeat this old enemy. He is never afraid of confronting Sima Yi head-on, but he is afraid that the other party will not dare to fight.

As far as the current Shu army is concerned, there is no comparison with the Shu army trained by Zhuge Liang back then.

The two commanders-in-chief, one is reckless and brainless, and the other is smart and self-righteous.

Meng Chang will definitely pay a heavy price for his willfulness.

Wang Jing and Han Lingkun deliberately stopped and let Zhao Jizha arrange soldiers and people to farm in front of the army.

This delay is one and a half months.

The time came to mid-May.

It has been three and a half months since the expedition in February, and their army to conquer the west has no results and no progress.

Luo Youdu, Wang Jing, and Han Lingkun all understood why this happened.

But Guo Rong and Miaotang Wenwu, who are far away in Kaifeng, don't know the details.

Kaifeng Temple therefore shrouded a strange mood.

Originally, Fan Zhi and Wang Pu, the two prime ministers in the Council Hall, did not agree with the mobilization of troops.

They are more in favor of putting stability first and governance first.

When the economic and national strength has risen, look for opportunities to start a war.

Instead of mobilizing troops at the very moment when the Yellow River burst its embankment.

Moreover, sending troops to Mengshu will move the whole body with one move.

really.

When they sent troops to Mengshu, Meng Chang immediately sent a letter of appeal to the Northern Han and Southern Tang, inviting them to attack the Great Zhou together.

There is no news from the Southern Tang Dynasty, but the Northern Han Dynasty has already dispatched troops.

However, the Northern Han Dynasty was defeated by the Great Zhou in the Battle of Gaoping, and its strength was limited. It only sent Liu Jiye, who was known as invincible in the Northern Han Dynasty, and Wang Chao, the commander of the Northern Han Dynasty, to lead [-] cavalry each, and went south to harass and plunder.

Li Yun, the governor of the Zhaoyi Army, had already taken precautions, but the opponent's cavalry came and went freely, and they only picked soft persimmons, so they could only passively defend and be beaten.

Seeing that the third front was about to be fought, and Wang Jing and Han Lingkun had nothing to gain, the proposal of withdrawing troops spontaneously arose.

There are not many voices of rebuttal from the military side.

After all, the ones left are the unselected ones.

Only when Han Lingkun retreated did he have a chance to go up by himself.

Guo Rong didn't expect that little Meng Shu would be so difficult to fight. In the blink of an eye, it would be four months without any progress. He asked the Privy Council many times about the situation on the front line.

And the Privy Council also sent letters of reproach to the front line again and again, with increasingly severe tone, but it seemed that there was no wave in the sea.

"drive!"

Yiqi and the camp gate stopped.

The rider got off his horse, held a bamboo scroll in both hands, and said loudly: "A certain person is accompanied by Du Yuhou in front of the palace, and was ordered to pass the bamboo letter to Han Jiedu envoy. I hope you can recommend it! This is from Zhao Duyuhou. Fish Talisman."

Ordinary people can't tell the real thing from the fake fish charm, but the position of Du Yuhou in front of the palace is still very important.

The soldiers at the camp gate immediately passed the news to Han Lingkun.

Han Lingkun sent a team to escort the rider to the commander's tent. Seeing the contents of the letter, his expression couldn't help but change.

He hurriedly took the letter and found Wang Jing who was playing with a gun outside the big tent.

Because he was too bored, Wang Jing exercised his almost rusty body outside the camp alone.

"Duke Baoguo! Have you received the news from the Privy Council?"

Wang Jing said blankly, "No, what's the matter?"

Han Lingkun handed the letter from Zhao Kuangyin to Wang Jing, and said, "Zhao Duyu and I have a close relationship, and specially wrote a book to inquire about the situation. It is said that there was a disturbance in the Bianjing Temple against you and me, and some people even suggested that It is better to withdraw our troops if we can’t win the war and waste money, so as not to fall into the crisis of fighting on the third front.”

Wang Jing took the letter and read it carefully, frowning. After reading the letter, he pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go and find Supervisor Luo, he should know the situation."

at the same time!

Luo Youdu was lying on the bed with his feet elevated, muttering: "I'm bored, I'm bored..."

For one and a half months and 45 days, they all stayed in the same place, faced the same people, ate dry corn, had no computer or mobile phone, and read the books they brought over several times.

It was the first time for Luo Youdu to try this taste.

If the boredom continued, Luo Youdu felt that he could laugh when playing with urine and mud.

Zhang Qiong suggested going out for a stroll.

Luo Youdu sticks to the bottom line and will never leave the camp rashly. He doesn't want any unexpected things to happen.

Suddenly, Cao Bin quickly stepped inside and said, "Sir, Lord Baoguo and envoy Han Jiedu are here!"

Luo Youdu's spirit was shaken, and he hurriedly said: "Hurry up, go and get my cup and rice bowl..."

He straightened up, picked up the boots on the ground, and put them on his feet regardless of whether they were front or back.

After putting on the boots, Luo Youdu was cats in the tent, stretched out his ears to listen to the footsteps outside, pointed at Cao Bin, and said softly: "Remember, act like it."

He took the cup, threw it heavily on the ground, and cursed: "Go to the **** Privy Council, a group of guys with fat brains. Keep urging, urging, urging the soul. This is a war..." Cursing, he waved his hand to signal Cao Bin to hand him the rice bowl.

Still cursing non-stop: "I really thought it was going to the grave to die! It's so simple and easy...Everyone knows how to talk, how can they understand the hard work of the soldiers. It's really a numbers game when you want to know the result and the situation. Drinking tea Will there be results with your legs?"

"I'm so mad..."

He threw the rice bowl in his hand heavily, and it just fell at Wang Jing's feet.
