So I play chess

Chapter 21

From the time Wen Liang entered the city until now, he didn't get a full night's sleep for five days, and finally collapsed from exhaustion.

The gentlemen who came to give gifts were relieved when they heard the news. The general's face was cold and his heart was also cold. He sent a lot of money, but he didn't feel warm at all.

When he fell, everyone could more or less breathe a sigh of relief.

However, just after breathing for a long time, the black-faced young general under the general's command rushed to the door, and said again that the general was exhausted, but the meaning in the words was still to ask everyone to come to the door with another heart.

I have seen people asking for money, but I have never seen people asking for money like this.

When the gentlemen heard this, how could they sit still.

Everyone scolded the Zheng family behind their backs, but if they really wanted to make up their minds, they had to go to the Zheng family's door.

Zheng Tong knew how those other people scolded him, so he pretended to be fine at this time, and discussed with everyone together.

The Liangzhou army must not be really greedy. They are so urgent, I am afraid that there is a shortage of food and salaries. This is an urgent matter that cannot wait.

Since Liangzhou Army wants to stay permanently in Tongcheng, it is bound to keep Tongcheng stable.

The reason for closing the city gate is to keep Tongcheng from chaos now, and to make up the food and wages is to keep Tongcheng from chaos in the future.

If the name of going to Zhuangzi to collect rent and raise money allows each family to send people out of the city, it may not be impossible for the Liangzhou army to give convenience to each family under the expediency of the two.

People go out of the city, and where they go is beyond the control of the Liangzhou army.

In the end, Zheng Tong made up his mind, and he must not let Liangzhou come to act wildly on Dachu's territory.

As soon as the words were finished, everyone went to the prefect's mansion together, and a group of gentlemen set up a stage for these soldiers to sing.

This black-faced young general seemed to only be able to fight in front of the battle, not as deep as the city where the general came.Everyone put on a look of embarrassment, and you talked to each other, coaxing the black-faced young general into a daze, and finally issued a letter of leaving the city to all the families, letting them send people out of the city.

The gentlemen arched the hands of General Meng, and walked out of the prefect's mansion with steps that would not fail the general's trust.

The hall, which had been noisy just now, fell silent, and the soldiers withdrew the two heavy screens.Wen Gu was sitting in the back, knowing that Xia Wenliang was also at the side, and the plate of fruit on the table had been eaten up.

Zhou Tong leaned over to take a look, with a little disappointment on his face.

Wen Gu smiled and said: "Go and bring some more fruits, and reward our General Zhou who is flying like a tiger."

Zhixia responded and said goodbye.

Zhou Tong yelled, and said, "Miss, you also make fun of me with them."

Wen Gu said, "That's right."

In Wen Liang's eyes, Wen Gu seemed much happier today.I think the game laid out in the past few days has gradually come into being, just waiting for the prey to enter the net and the fish to take the bait.Naturally it was easier.

Zhou Tong smacked his mouth twice, and said: "The words they boasted are obviously for the savages. I think I don't understand this, and that doesn't make sense. They treat me like a fool?"

Wen Gu said: "It's not just you, I'm afraid the entire Liangzhou army is stupid in their eyes. These people think that we are a rebellious army who abandoned the city and fled. At this time, the more detailed and complicated Uncle Wen manages, the more they think we are There is no one to use, and they are exhausted and there is no one to replace, which is exactly what they guessed. And if Uncle Wen is not exhausted, he easily allows them to go out of the city at this moment, but they tend to be suspicious, and they can rest assured if they change people."

Zhou Tongdao: "Miss is very good at planning, wait two days for this matter to settle, let them figure out for themselves who is the stupid one."

Wen Gu laughed again and said, "Zhou Dutong may have to pretend to be stupid again."

"Wait until the person who secretly informed Beiyu is found, won't the show be over? Then I..." Zhou Tong said this, seeing Wen Gu looking at him with a smile, he suddenly reacted, "Miss It means that this play will continue to be sung? Are there other plans in the future?"

Zhou Tong understood quickly, Wen Gu nodded and said, "I didn't ask Li Mao to stop the messenger."

"Then why did Li Mao's people arrange all the teahouses on the main roads in Tongcheng?" Zhou Tong asked urgently.

In fact, Wen Liang also had doubts, but his temperament was more stable. He had seen the plan of the eldest lady before, and now he didn't think about it much, so he was not in a hurry to ask why.Seeing Zhou Tong ask now, I also want to hear clearly.

The matter has reached this step, and Wen Gu wanted to talk about it with his cronies. Zhi Xia happened to come in with a fruit plate, and Zhou Tong grabbed one and swallowed it in three mouthfuls.

Wen Gu said: "Uncle Wen, in your opinion, if Beiyu learns that we have abandoned Liangzhou and went south to occupy Tongcheng, what will Beiyu do?"

On this point, Wen Liang had been thinking about this since the day he left Liangzhou, and immediately replied: "Tongcheng is irrelevant to Beiyu, but the Liangzhou army has always been a thorn in Beiyu's side. If we know that we have occupied Tongcheng, Surely Shen Jing will come to attack. Tongcheng is not as easy to defend as Liangzhou, if it comes to attack, it will be difficult for us to resist."

Zhou Tong had other ideas: "Not necessarily. For Shen Jing, Liangzhou's position is much more important than Liangzhou's army. He has occupied Liangzhou, and the war in the east is tight. He may not be free to go south. I think , he may have gone directly to the east, nothing more than to leave heavy troops to guard Tongcheng, in case we kill the carbine."

Wen Gu asked: "That week, everyone felt that attacking and not attacking each accounted for a few points?"

Zhou Tong thought for a while, and said: "Three points for attack, seven points for no attack."

After Zhou Tong finished speaking, Wen Liang also nodded.

Wen Gu said again: "It's hard for us to guess Shen Jing's character. I really dare not take the risk and bet on his character with the lives of [-] soldiers of the Liangzhou Army. Besides, those gentlemen have some calculations in their hearts. We are the Liangzhou Army." , now occupies the city of Chu State. It is impossible for Chu State to sit idly by."

Wen Liang continued: "Although we have no alliance with Chu State, we can still fight against Beiyu together. Now that Tongcheng is occupied, the friendship of the past is hard to remember. Although the state of Chu is in chaos, the battle with Beiyu Even Lost State County, but there is Dingyi Army stationed in the southeast of Tongcheng, in order not to retreat in the future, it must come to attack."

Wen Gu said: "So if the Liangzhou army is still in Tongcheng, it will soon be attacked by the enemy."

Zhou Tong said in a hurry: "Then the eldest miss let people go out to deliver letters? Chase them back!"

Wen Gu shook his head: "Shen Jing took over an empty city in Liangzhou, so he would definitely guess where we went. Even if no one delivered the letter, he would find out."

"But this secret work is from the city. The streets in the city are like, and where the walls are weak and difficult to defend. This secret work is even better than us."

Wen Gu said: "It's not just that. This detailed work also knows that the Liangzhou Army is now leaderless, and Uncle Wen is temporarily leading it. I also asked Li Mao to inform him of the approximate number of soldiers and horses in our city. I also said that because there was no leader, we were in a state of embarrassment all the way south. Most of the soldiers fled. Now I'm afraid we won't be able to fight a decent battle."

Zhou Tong didn't know what to say for a while, his face turned black and red with anxiety, thinking that the eldest lady had woven a net, including the entire Liangzhou army and herself.

Wen Liang didn't understand Wen Gu's thoughts either: "Is there any arrangement for the eldest lady in the future?"

Wen Gu still had a smile on his face, and said in a leisurely manner: "I was thinking that if the Liangzhou army resisted stubbornly, no matter whether Bei Yu or Da Chu came to attack, we would have no way to survive. We can only pretend to be defeated in one blow , it is possible to survive.”
