Call of the Deer

Chapter 279 Dong Cheng's Choice, Wang Meng's Wisdom

Just when Lu Bu and Liu Yu secretly joined forces to attack Liu Bei, Mohe City in Cangzhou, the westernmost city in Dongzhou, fell and was captured by Shi Lang within half a month.

At the same time, the Tongtian Bridge in the east of Mohe City was occupied by Xiao Shilang, eyeing Cangzhou.

Cangzhou King City, Tiancang City.

"My lord, the battle report came from the east. Shi Lang's army was shocked and led the army to conquer Mohe City and occupy the Tongtian Bridge. The soldiers pointed directly at Fengtian City in the east of Cangzhou..."

Li Ru saw sweat on his forehead, and Shi Lang crossed the river to attack. It was completely unexpected. Dong Chengjun in Cangzhou was caught off guard, leading to the fall of Mohe City, an important town in the east.

"What? Mohe City has fallen? How is it possible? There are more than 3 defenders in Mohe City, guarding the city, how could it be lost for no reason? Li Jue's mother, is it the ****? That's the case Qingyi lost Mohe City, damn it, really damn it, what about others?"

Dong Cheng, who sat on the position of lord, is now so majestic that Bei Minghao doesn't give in at all. Hearing that Li Jue lost Mohe City, he slapped the table immediately, flew into a rage, and roared angrily.

"Uh, this...my lord, this general Li Jue was headstrong and didn't know how to stick to it. Instead, he went out of the city to attack at night. Shi Lang saw through his plan, waited for a rabbit, made dumplings alive, and died among the rebellious army. Being rushed down by Shi Lang, it was too late for rescue..."

Dong Cheng's anger made Li Ru have to avoid it for the time being, and pushed all the crimes on Li Jue, his cousin, completely blaming his own faults.

"By the way, Wen You, how is the battle in Yunzhou? Xu Rong and Zhang Jike sent good news?"

Suddenly, Dong Cheng rolled his eyes and asked about the war in Yunzhou, Li Ru lost his mind for a while.

"Reporting to my lord, the two counties in the northwest of Yunzhou have fallen into our army's hands. As for the capital, Poyun City, it is at a stalemate. The general Guo Ziyi under Li Shimin's army is like a god, and the defense is too strong. General Xu Rong's offensive , I can't even chew on this hard bone..."

"Since you can't eat it, let's not eat it anymore. Aren't the two old thieves Xiao Yan and Chai Shao so arrogant that they dare to attack Lao Tzu's Cangzhou? Hmph, then let Xu Rong and Zhang Ji move Yuncheng and let this Two shameless old thieves, facing the anger of Li Shimin's army, hehe..."

Suddenly Dong Cheng's voice changed, and he gave a sinister smile, not planning to continue attacking Cloud City.

"This... my lord, this cloud city is about to be captured. It's a bit too hasty to give up suddenly at this time. After all, the loss is so big, it's really not worth giving up for nothing..."

Li Ru hesitated for a while when he saw that Dong Cheng suddenly wanted to give up the easily accessible Cloud City.

"Hmph, I just want to trick this shameless old thief Xiao Yan. Besides, do you think that even if our army takes Yunzhou, it can hold it? Don't think about it. Li Shimin was in Qianzhou before, and he had no time to worry about it. , just let our army shit on his head, but now we have lost the battle, once we free up our hands, we will bear Li Shimin's endless anger, do you think we can bear it?"

Not only is Dong Cheng stronger in martial arts than Dong Zhuo, but he is also a few steps ahead of Dong Zhuo in wisdom. It can be said that he is like a tiger father without a dog. He has a very long-term vision and is very decisive in his actions.

"Hey, this...that's the reason. Once Li Shimin sends troops north to Cangzhou to attack us, our army wants to keep Cangzhou. I'm afraid we will lose our troops. After all, Li Shimin is a great prince who owns the land of three states, and he has many soldiers. It's far from what we can compare..."

Although Li Ru claims to be smarter than Kunlun, he is inevitably limited. When Dong Cheng mentioned it, he immediately reacted, and his intuition was chilled, and at the same time, a sense of resentment was brewing in his heart...

This is to hate Bei Minghao, who told Bei Minghao to send Yang Hu to form an alliance before, and also drew such a big pie in Yunzhou, let them attack Yunzhou, without mentioning the consequences of attacking Yunzhou.

This fucking thing is just using them, and they foolishly drilled into it, teasing Li Shimin's beard, this is purely a rhythm of courting death.

"My lord, forgive me, it's because my subordinates didn't think carefully, which caused our army to fall into a dilemma..."

"Wen You don't need to panic, I didn't blame you. Although you were positive before, it was I who made the final decision. It's not your fault, and it's too late to quit now, hehe..."

"However, as long as our army retreats bravely and joins forces with Guo Ziyi to fight back, Xiao Yan's army will suffer heavy losses, and even the entire army will be wiped out, in order to avenge the attack on our Mohe City, hehehe..."

Dong Cheng grinned sinisterly, with a cold light in his eyes and a coldness in the corner of his mouth, which made people dare not look directly at him.

"By the way, let the order go on, let Guo Si and Niu Fu come to lead the lonely, lonely king Yujia to conquer..."

Apart from being the lord of a state, Dong Cheng's martial arts were also inherited by Dong Zhuo. His cavalry and combat skills are very good, stronger than all his subordinates, and he has more than 3 cavalry under his command.

Li Ru let Dong Cheng not offend him, breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, smiled wryly, and had a faint intuition in his heart that he was afraid that he would meet an opponent, so he muttered to himself.

"I'm afraid that Xiao Yan's subordinates are capable people, and they actually used countermeasures. This Li Jue died unjustly, and he is so courageous. He made such a sacrifice in order to take down Mohe City, hehe..."

Not long after Li Ru left, Guo Si and Niu Fu hurried over to meet Dong Cheng.

"Guo Bang, Niu Fu listen to the order, order you two to be the left and right vanguards, lead an army of [-] soldiers, and point to Mohe City. This king vows to take back Mohe City, occupy the Tongtian Bridge, and kill this hateful Shi Lang!"

Afterwards, Dong Cheng even sent people south to Yunzhou, sent his orders to Xu Rong and Zhang Ji, and at the same time ordered Fan Chou to sit in the center, stationed in Tiancang City, the capital of Cangzhou, and guard its lair.

……

Yongzhou, the Eastern Imperial City.

"My lord, General Shi Lang has sent a good report. It is said that he has captured Mohe City in Cangzhou and occupied the Tongtian Bridge. This is a letter. Please check it..."

While reporting the situation in Cangzhou, Wang Meng handed a letter to Xiao Yan.

"Oh, Mohe City was taken, what? You said Shi Lang took Mohe City? Isn't that too fast? Could it be that Shi Lang lied about the military situation? In just half a month, Li Jue can be taken down Isn’t the Mohe City where they are stationed too dreamy? There are [-] troops stationed in Mohe City.”

Sitting on the throne, Xiao Yan dozed listlessly, and dealt with it casually, then suddenly jumped up from the throne, and said in great surprise, his eyes were full of disbelief and surprise.

"Reporting to my lord, it was indeed General Shi Lang who led an army of [-] troops to capture Mohe City. In fact, the most important thing was that Li Jue went out of the city to attack the camp. General Shi Lang saw through his plot and waited for a rabbit. He was shot dead in the camp on the spot. That's why the Cangzhou army panicked and lost their minds..."

"Li Jue? It turned out to be this reckless man. I heard that he was a fierce general under Dong Zhuo. It's a pity that he has brute force but no wisdom, but he pretends to be smart. He deserves his death..."

Xiao Yan was puzzled, then seemed to remember who Li Jue was, and felt a little contemptuous.

"Hehe, what my lord said is true, but it's a pity that after the surprise attack on Cangzhou this time, Dong Cheng must have become angry, and turned his anger on Cao Jingzong and Chai Shao's subordinates in Yunzhou. He must send someone to inform..."

Wang Meng claims to be the No. 1 master of Zhuge, with vast wisdom, every move he takes, he can predict the opponent's next move. At this moment, he has already predicted Dong Cheng's general idea, and mentioned it in front of Xiao Yan.

"Oh, could it be that Dong Cheng jumped over the wall in a hurry, planning to catch our soldiers by surprise?"

When Xiao Yan heard this, there was a hint of evil spirit between his brows. He had been suppressed by other princes for years and lived a life of relying on others. He had had enough, so he was naturally very angry.

"My lord, not only that, but from what I see, Xiao Yan is probably going to fight back and join forces with Guo Ziyi to attack our army Cao Jingzong and Chai Shao. We have to guard against it..."

"Okay, quickly send someone to contact Chen Ziyun in Dingzhou, and order him to go north secretly. Once you find that Xu Rong and Guo Ziyi are united, immediately attack with cavalry to support Cao Jingzong and the others..."

After Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, he let out a long sigh, and then said quietly.

"An Shi, I'm helping you this time for the sake of my classmates. The next time we meet, I'm afraid we'll meet each other in battle. Don't blame me when the time comes. Everyone is their own master, and they can't help themselves... "

In fact, long before, Wang Meng realized that this alliance was made by Bei Minghao using Yongzhou as a spearman, and it was a conspiracy that harmed others and benefited himself.

But for the sake of sharing the same bed, Wang Meng didn't say anything. Instead, he tried his best to persuade Xiao Yan to send troops to Yunzhou. This was a loss-making business from the beginning to the end.

To put it bluntly, it was Wang Meng who assisted Bei Minghao in betraying Xiao Yan, and Xie An was still kept in the dark, still unaware that Wang Meng had already seen through him.

……

Yunzhou, the cloud city.

"General, our army can't stand it anymore. Xu Rong's offensive has become stronger and stronger recently. I'm afraid he won't last for a few days before he will be defeated. What should our army do?"

"Chen He, how many defenders are there in the city? How many arrows, boulders and other supplies are left?"

Guo Ziyi looked at the dead bodies piled up outside the city, and the Yongzhou-Cangzhou Allied Forces rushing towards him screaming, and fell into silence, not knowing what he was thinking...

After a long time, he took a deep breath, clenched the spear in his hand, and said quietly.

"General, there are less than [-] defenders in the city, the arrows have been used up, the rolling logs and stones have been used up, and there is nothing left..."

"Sure enough, it is still at the end of the mountain, hahaha, my lord, Zi Yichen is ashamed of you for not being able to defend this cloud city, but don't worry, even if the last soldier in the battle, I will definitely defend the cloud city City, if you want to move Cloud City, unless I die..."

At this moment, Guo Ziyi was full of momentum, and his eyes were full of coldness...
