So I play chess

Chapter 22
The spring breeze urges the residual rain, and the golden light opens the misty clouds.

The rain in Tongcheng finally stopped. Taking advantage of the darkness of the sky, Li Mao went out of the city to the west by himself.

On the main roads on the other sides, in the dense forests, villages and towns, the hidden guards have also set up nets.

Today's weather, one rain gradually stops, another rain will start.

In Tongcheng, merchants and merchants have already opened, and the number of people on the street has gradually increased. Under the deployment of Liangzhou Army, Tongcheng has returned to normal.

Yang Wantang's death seems to have happened a long time ago, and now word of mouth is all about the greed of the Liangzhou army and the flattery of the big families.

The common people are still worried about the war, but they have to live first.

They didn't know that Tongcheng was already in the net, and this net was woven to protect Tongcheng.

At this moment, in the prefect's mansion, the net weaver, wearing a green shirt, was leaning on the grand master's chair and talking, pinching the Ba Lanzi brought out by Yang's mansion with his slender and white fingers, removing the shell, and putting it in his mouth, with red lips White teeth, black brows and blue frowns, and a relaxed expression.

Fortunately, there is no good scenery here, if there is, I am afraid it will be taken away by her.

However, there was a black-faced young general in front of her, pacing back and forth in a hurry, gesticulating with his hands and feet indiscriminately.

vulgarian!

Wenliang thought.

The vulgar said in a rough voice: "Could it be that the eldest lady wants to show weakness and make Shen Jing think that our Liangzhou army is no longer a threat, so that he will not attack for the time being, so as to have a breather? This will not work. If Shen Jing is How can the Huaiyang Army have today if they are deceived like this?"

Wen Gu carefully wiped off the broken shells on his hands with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "I really want to show weakness to Shen Jing, but it's not just Shen Jing, Liangzhou Army wants to show weakness to the world at this time."

Wen Gu stopped at this point. Seeing Wen Gu, Zhou Tong didn't say anything, and said: "But if we fight against ordinary generals, this method may not be feasible. Our Liangzhou army is too famous. Others show weakness, or they can get some help." A way out. The Liangzhou army's weakness will definitely attract more attacks from all sides."

Wen Gu replied: "Yes, we fled in a hurry and were defeated. If there are no generals in the city, and there are only two thousand soldiers and horses, plus a thousand defenders of Chu who have different intentions. Those who dare not fight with the Liangzhou army on weekdays What will happen to the army, big and small?"

Zhou Tong said in a hurry: "They will rush to attack, no matter what, taking down the Liangzhou army will have a great reputation for them."

Wen Gu asked: "Then regardless of Northern Yu and Southern Chu, if someone takes Tongcheng, will the other side come to attack?"

Zhou Tongdao: "If Beiyu wins Tongcheng, Nanchu doesn't want to expand the battle line, and will definitely not fight."

Wen Gu asked again: "What if Nanchu takes Tongcheng?"

Wen Liang, who had been standing by the side all the time, said: "Southern Chu is different from our Liangzhou army. Southern Chu is not familiar with the march here. Beiyu only needs to hold Liangzhou firmly. Instead, they will concentrate their forces to step up the offensive on the Guangyang side. .”

Wen Gu nodded: "So no matter who takes the Liangzhou army, the other side has no reason to attack again. If we only have 2000 people in the city, even Nanchu can easily take it."

"If that's the case, of course it is. But we still have [-] soldiers and horses outside the city. Although the eldest lady in the city is not named as a general, she is actually..." Zhou Tong said this, hissed suddenly, and his tone eased , "I'm in a panic, miss, you can just say it, I'll just listen."

Zhou Tong noticed that Wen Gu's plan was different from what he thought, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

Wen Gu smiled and said, "I know Zhou Dutong should be able to understand me."

At this moment, Zhou Tong didn't know that he "used" to fight Shen Jing to the death, nor did he know how many lives and deaths he had shared with Wen Gu Wenliang.

This military man is a genius on the battlefield, and he thinks highly of himself. The reason why he respects Wen Gu is because he thinks that no one is more suitable for the post of the commander of the Liangzhou Army at this time. When the Liangzhou army went to danger to survive, they put him on top without asking.Whether it is the general's will or the eldest lady's proposition, it is the grace of knowing people with insight.

Moreover, in the past few days, the eldest lady's planning and actions are also to survive in danger and risk her life, which is quite the same as him.Coupled with the fact that he had already been favored by General Wenzong, he was able to achieve what he is today.That's why he obeyed Wen Gu so much.

Wen Gu said: "When the big clans in Tongcheng spread the news, no matter whether it is Beiyu or Southern Chu, they will surely miss the Liangzhou army in Tongcheng. Since the Liangzhou army can be defeated easily, whoever arrives first will naturally get the prestige. things."

"Yeah." Zhi Xia ate the fruit, hummed twice, and kept nodding her head.

Wen Gu looked at her and smiled even more happily: "So I want to give this prestige to Nan Chu."

Wen Liang said: "Miss, do you want to lure Southern Chu to attack?"

"It's not to attract, but to let." Wen Gu said: "We have 4000 people in the west of the city, and these 4000 people don't know about Tongcheng, Beiyu, and Southern Chu. So whoever I let attack, they are their soldiers. .”

Zhou Tong was a little confused when he heard this: "That's not right, Lao Zhao and the others have neither Southern Chu military status nor Southern Chu generals, so how..."

Wen Gu said: "The capital of Zhou has forgotten that there should be another person in this city, and this person can lead the soldiers of Southern Chu."

Wen Liang understood first: "Tongcheng prefect?"

……

"Liu Zhu!"

In the western suburbs of Tongcheng, four thousand Liangzhou soldiers and horses were scattered and stationed in the forest. The deserted forest is densely covered with few people, and it is also in troubled times, and no one passes by.

More than a dozen bonfires were burning in the still night, and there were many soldiers standing or sitting around.

Liu Zhuo, the prefect of Tongcheng, was squatting in one of them, pulling soup cakes. There were not many soldiers around, but he and his family were separated, and he had no intention of running away.

Suddenly he heard a soldier calling him.Liu buried his head, pretending he didn't hear it.

"People are coming from Tongcheng, our commander told you to come over." The soldier went around and said in front of him, his words were not very polite.

Liu squatted, moved his feet, and still turned his back to the soldier.

"Your bowl is empty, why are you still eating? If you are hungry, our Commander Zhao will have some meat to eat. Let's go."

The soldiers came around to Liu Zhu again. Seeing this, Liu Zhu wanted to throw the bowl on the ground, but after thinking about it, he didn't dare, so he put it down lightly, clapped his hand on his thigh, and began to curse.

"I, Liu Zhu, can be regarded as a well-educated person in Dachu. My Liu family has been wearing tassels for generations. Although I am not as glorious as my ancestors here, I am also the prefect of a majestic city. It is an insult to the gentleness of your Liangzhou army to treat me like this!"

Liu Zhu became angrier as he spoke, stood up abruptly, held out his finger but didn't dare to point at the soldier, and was afraid of pointing at someone else by mistake, so he could only curse at the open space beside him.

The soldier squinted his eyes and said "yes" several times with a downcast face.

The more Liu Zhu cursed, the more powerful he became. He was eloquent, and his tongue was full of luster. While cursing, he glanced at the soldier from the corner of his eyes, and the soldier just listened and didn't say much.While Liu Zhu was cursing, he suddenly heard Lao Zhao's voice not far away.

"Hey, Prefect Liu, you haven't eaten enough soup and cakes, so why don't you pick up your family tree?"
