Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 26 Three birds with one stone

After Chu Changning heard what Su Yuan said, his palms began to sweat.

The prince really prepared a "poisonous plan"...

He had to look at Su Yuan with admiration.

At the beginning, regarding Su Yuan's decision to send a large army to encircle and suppress the Yunshan faction, he also had doubts in his heart, thinking that it was a bit too aggressive.

But now, after Su Yuan explained, he completely understood.

From the very beginning, what Su Yuan planned was how to deal with the problem of the camp in northern Xinjiang.

The five major families are just ants that can be easily crushed to death, so there is nothing to worry about. Only the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the northern camp are a little troublesome.

The assassination of the Yunshan faction provided him with an opportunity.

He just took advantage of this opportunity to lay a terrible trap.

Chu Changning thought to himself that Su Yuan asked him to spread the news in Jianghu, probably to make the trap more realistic.

That Zhang Yuandong was able to get the "Qihai Ningyun Pill", which shows that he also has some connection with the Jianghu, so of course he can also know about the affairs of the Jianghu.

In addition, Su Yuan pretended to be angry and sent a large number of soldiers to hunt down the assassins throughout the city.

Two things combined are enough to create a very realistic illusion:
Su Yuan was furious.

In this way, now that Su Yuan announced that he would lead an army to crusade against the Yunshan faction, the five major families would not doubt the authenticity of this matter at all.

That's how you get hooked.

The five big families will not let go of such a good opportunity, and will definitely use all their strength to cooperate with Gongsun Kuo and take advantage of the Su Yuan army's departure from the city to capture Beifeng City and take it for themselves.

At that time, Su Yuan was alone, and there was almost only one dead end.

however……

In fact, this is a deadly trap and trap.

Once the five major families and Gongsun Kuo step in, they will definitely die.

"My lord is far-sighted and strategizing, and I admire you very much." Chu Changning said with a serious expression and respect from the bottom of his heart.

If in the past he was still worried that Su Yuan was still young, the great cause of rebellion would be difficult to accomplish... But now, at least from this moment on, he really has confidence in this great cause.

Su Yuan smiled and said: "It's all about human effort. I'm just pushing the boat along the way and taking advantage of the enemy's eagerness."

"My lord, if this plan is successful, Beijiang will be completely in the hands of my lord, and I no longer have to worry about being attacked from both sides."

"Ah."

Su Yuan nodded, and seeing Chu Changning's lips twitch, he seemed to hesitate to speak.

"Changning, do you have something to say?"

"...My lord, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"The relationship between you and me, why is it so? Just say what you want."

Hearing this, Chu Changning suddenly knelt down on one knee.

"My lord, in the northern border army, there are many former Paoze brothers under his command. There are also many soldiers who have fought with the old lord on the battlefield, and they are true heroes. If this battle is exhausted..."

Chu Changning lowered his voice.

Su Yuan understood.

"Changning, get up."

Chu Changning stood up and looked at Su Yuan.

Su Yuandao: "I understand what you mean, but the secret of this plan comes first, even if you have those brothers Pao Ze in your heart, you must not reveal it to them."

"Why do you need the prince to order this matter, the subordinates have never had the heart to reveal it!"

"Well. As for what you said... I will give them a chance to surrender at that time." Su Yuan sighed, "They are all comrades. If they can surrender without fighting, I don't want to make more killings. "

Chu Changning showed joy when he heard the words: "Thank you, my lord! At that time, my subordinates will try their best to persuade those soldiers who have followed the old lord to surrender!"

After finishing speaking, he thought of something again, and asked: "Then, my lord, so the fact that you want to send a large army to encircle and suppress the Yunshan faction is just a cover?"

"No." Su Yuan sneered, "If you hold it up so high and put it down gently, then who in the world will still take me seriously?"

That layman Xuanzhu's dignified visit has already made Su Yuan very upset.

Do you really think assassination is nothing?
Su Yuan is alive right now.But if the assassination was successful and he died, who would care?

Take a few bottles of broken elixir, just want to make a big deal out of it, or a little thing out of nothing?
He didn't think his life was so cheap.

It was not a joke that he asked Chu Changning to spread the word in Jiang Hu, asking the Yunshan faction to pay the price in blood.

"Three birds with one stone." Su Yuan stretched out three fingers to Chu Changning with a cold voice.

"Yunshan faction, the five major families, and Gongsun Kuo. I want to pluck all these three 'birds' and cook them. Let the world and the temple know that I, Su Yuan, are not easy to mess with."

……

North Xinjiang camp.

As the front line against the Beirong people, the Northern Xinjiang camp has been in a state of war all year round since its establishment.

Like some states where there is no war, most of the soldiers are sent back to their hometowns to cultivate the fields, and they will be called up again when there is a war.

The soldiers in the northern Xinjiang camp are more like "professional soldiers". They don't need to be idle and have nothing to do to farm. There is only one thing to do every day, which is combat training.

There are physical training such as running, squatting and jumping, as well as combat training such as fighting and weapons. There will also be "exercises" every month to practice military formations.

However, these were all things that happened when Su Tufeng was alive.

It is precisely because Su Tufeng's requirements are so strict that the Northern Xinjiang camp has pinned down the Beirong people for ten years, making it impossible for them to cross the camp and go half a step deep into the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But now that Su Tufeng died, many things changed...

In the big camp, outside a big tent, two soldiers on duty were displeased when they heard the laughter coming from inside the tent.

A soldier couldn't help but said: "Hmph, if the prince is still here, how can such things be allowed to happen..."

"Shh! Don't die!" Another soldier hurriedly yelled, "Let General Gongsun hear that ten heads of yours are not enough to cut off!"

"...General Gongsun is too busy to listen to us. Didn't you hear? He was talking and laughing with the envoy from Beirong!"

In the tent, long tables are set up, and the food and wine are fully arranged.

Sitting at the top, the man in his early forties with a long beard is Gongsun Kuo who is temporarily acting as the commander of the Northern Xinjiang Camp.

He looks elegant and wears a robe, more like an aide than a general.

Sitting on his left and right sides are generals whom he trusts and promotes.

Sitting opposite him was a rather handsome Beirong man with a green cloth on his head.

The Beirong people are from the desert, with brown skin and green eyes. They like to wear turbans and straight robes.

At this moment, the Beirong native was raising his wine glass, showing his snow-white teeth, and spoke fluently: "General Gongsun has become the coach, and he really deserves his name."

"The envoy was joking, I'm just acting as the commander-in-chief temporarily."

Gongsun Kuo smiled and raised his glass to drink with the Beirong envoy.

After drinking, the Beirong envoy took out a treasure box from his long sleeve and presented it to Gongsun Kuo.

"This……"

"This is what our king asked me to give to General Gongsun. It's a small gift, it's not a respect."

"Your Majesty, why be polite! I think it's better to take it back."

The Beirong envoy smiled and opened the box.

I saw an emerald the size of an egg lying quietly in it.

Gemstones are crystal clear, lustrous and attractive, and they are not like mortal things.

"what……"

When Gongsun Kuo saw the emerald, his eyes widened and he couldn't look away.

He has loved jade since he was a child, so he naturally knows that emeralds are extremely rare, and his knuckles are worth a lot, and there is no market for them.

And he had never heard of or seen an emerald of the size in front of him.

Seeing Gongsun Kuo staring at the gemstone in a daze, several generals nearby were a little embarrassed for a while, and one of them coughed lightly, which brought Gongsun Kuo back to his senses.

"Really... this jade is really good." Gongsun Kuo subconsciously said.

The Beirong envoy said with a smile: "There is a saying in our Beirong called 'gems match heroes'. Our king has a saying that such precious gems can only be worthy of heroes like General Gongsun. Please, General Gongsun, don't buy them." decline."

"This...couldn't it be... well, okay." Gongsun Kuo hesitated a few times, but finally his eyes fell on the gem, and he smiled bitterly, "Since Your Majesty has such a kind intention, then I will not be disrespectful!"
