Dongyin

? When Duan Hong came to the Chinese army, all the generals came to pay homage.After the ceremony, I asked about important matters in the army, and all the generals reported them one by one.Duan Hong asked Chu Cheng again, but no one answered.Because of the self-examination after the curtain was broken, a little over, and the Shan Junxiang was called to enter the account.

Let's say that Mr. Shan came into the account and stood three or five steps in front of the case with his hands down, waiting for Duan Hong to ask.

Duan Hong glanced at her and asked, "What happened to Chu Cheng?"

Shan Junxiang said, "Return to Your Majesty, I am investigating, and it is still unclear."

Duan Hongzheng gave her a serious look, got up and walked in front of her and said, "You don't have to be restrained, just explain the matter in detail."

Shan Junxiang remained calm, just lowered his head slightly, and said, "Liangcheng is isolated and surrounded by plains. It has been besieged for many days and it is safe and sound. I suspect that Zhao and Chen are secretly funding it. I mentioned it to General Chu that day. He insisted on checking it himself, so I followed him around Liangcheng, and sure enough, I found some clues."

Shan Junxiang stopped talking suddenly, and looked up at Duan Hong.Duan Hong only met her gaze, then looked away. She took two steps back, leaned on the desk and thought deeply, and said half aloud, "You mean..." It's just that there are only a few small hills where the three places combine, how can hiding?

Could it be... a burrow?

Shan Junxiang said, "I didn't think so at first. After all, the sand here is soft, and the vertical holes are very easy to collapse, not to mention the flat stretch of hundreds of miles? But that day, on the hill farthest from the city, I found a rammed At the same time, a hidden and deep hole was found on the back of the hill.”

What happened?Open your mouth here, could it be that there are ghosts in the Qi army who secretly transfer funds to Liangcheng, no wonder the military consumption is increasing.But at least Liang Cheng said that he also had a population of [-], and the movement was huge. How could these generals not know?Unless, Duan Hong gritted his teeth, unless the collaborator had great power.

"I think Zhou Ye should have told you that after the defeat in the first battle, the more than [-] soldiers who went after him disappeared without returning." Shan Junxiang said, "Chu Chenggong disappeared like this."

Duan Hongzhuo kept his head silent, motioning for her to continue talking.

"I think that Taoist Feihong must be proficient in the five elements to be able to set up an earth formation in such a place. Such an formation has long been recorded. It is said that one of Zou Yan's foreign disciples was very proficient in this formation, and he was able to drill through a three-foot-long earth wall." The wall is so transparent that even four or five cows can't knock it down, and even a single feather attached to the top of the wall will pour down like sand. It can be seen that the subtlety of his force has reached the point of perfection. Although Feihong can't reach this level Realm, can be regarded as a generation of strange people."

Duan Hong thought deeply, and said, "If it's as you said, then the formation is easy to break. As long as dozens of cows are urged to run up there, it will be over."

Shan Junxiang smiled and said, "If it's really that simple, it's your turn? The example I just mentioned is just a hobby of researchers. It's another matter if this formation is used on the battlefield. That day, I rode side by side with Chu Cheng, only hearing the squeak of a tree lump, he screamed, and in the blink of an eye, even the man and the horse disappeared. And the land was still as usual, only a little new When the sand comes up, it can be seen that there are wooden formations in the earthen formation." Compared with the uniformity of the earthen formations, the wooden formations will become more and more numerous.

"They're all dirty tricks!" Duan Hong felt a headache from hearing this, and said, "Just tell me what's wrong with this formation."

"I don't have that kind of ability. However, the old man I met when I lived in Yuanyang Lake is quite proficient in the five elements." Shan Junxiang said, "It's a pity that he doesn't care about the world anymore."

Could it be the person Zhuang Ji wanted to find?Duan Hong was puzzled in his heart, and didn't bother to think, "It's a mule or a horse. You can only know if you pull it out for a while. I have sent a letter of war. Whether she accepts it or not, I will attack the city when it gets dark tomorrow!" "She didn't believe it, with 30 elite soldiers in hand, she was afraid of such a small town the size of a palm!"

"What are you in a hurry for?" Shan Junxiang sneered, "I think the top priority is to catch that high-ranking official who sells grain and grass, and cut off his retreat, so that he will win without a fight."

Duan Hong looked at her, and smiled slowly, "I don't see it that way. Mrs. Huang grabbed Chu Cheng and wanted to force me to stop fighting. She knew it was a joke, but she did it again. It was just an excuse to delay the time soon. She knew that I would be furious after reading the letter and would order a fierce attack, so she wanted to take advantage of the period of communication between the two armies to collude with Zhao and Chen. I came here day and night, just to annihilate them in one fell swoop before their alliance was formed. she."

"These three places have already had a close relationship. If they formed an alliance, they might have already formed an alliance. Maybe they won't wait until now?"

Duan Hong sighed, and said, "You don't understand the relationship. If the Three Kingdoms were in an alliance, the Huang family would be the empress dowager, and Zhao and Chen must be ministers. Now that the two are on their own side, how could they be willing to bow their knees to the empress dowager who is living outside? Waiting and watching is not because she is not afraid of the collapse of Liangcheng, but because she is waiting, waiting for Mrs. Huang to beg them, so that they can step on Mrs. Huang's head with pride. And Mrs. Huang knows this very well, so she fought alone to support her. Until now, let them see what they are capable of."

After Shan Junxiang heard this, he also felt that it made sense, "Since this is the case, we should prepare early. This battle is unusual. Have you thought about a countermeasure?"

"Countermeasure..." Duan Hong pondered, "I want to use the frontal attack as a feint to attract the attention of the enemy, and then use the side attack as a reality."

Shan Junxiang laughed lightly, and said, "Side attack is the truth, I didn't exaggerate on purpose, you didn't even know the strength of the formation, so you sent troops rashly..." Maybe you can't even touch the corner of someone's wall.

"This matter, I have my own solution." Duan Hong sat before returning to the case.

"Then I'll go out first"

"Huayang" Duan Hong stopped her, pondered for a while, and asked, "Have you ever loved anyone?"

Shan Junxiang was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a sarcasm, "Don't you think it's absurd to ask such a question to a monk?" After leaving the tent, there was a strong wind blowing outside, and the cool wind poured into her robe. For a moment, her lips twitched slightly.

"Staff Shan" An old military doctor passed by and greeted her.

Shan Junxiang came back to his senses instantly and nodded.Suddenly remembered something, and said to the past, "Mr. Zhang Jun, pick up two warm medicines for me."

"What's the matter? Staff officer Shan is not in good health, why don't you give me your pulse as an officer." The old military doctor laughed.

"That's not necessary, just now Doctor Li has already called me. It's just that the emperor summoned me suddenly, so he forgot to take the medicine."

"Okay, okay." The old military doctor went into the medicine tent to pick up medicine, and said, "The weather is abnormal recently, and it's starting to be cold. The staff should pay more attention."

After the two greeted each other a few words, the medicine was picked up.The military doctor held up the medicine in his hand and motioned her to go in to get it, with a somewhat cautious look.

Shan Junxiang entered, and the military doctor lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the Holy Majesty is going to attack Liangcheng when it gets dark tomorrow. No, I'm just worried that there are so many wounded patients who haven't recovered yet, and new wounds will be filled. I'm afraid there will be insufficient medical resources."

"The Holy Majesty makes his own decision, so you and I can guess?" Shan Junxiang took the medicine and withdrew it directly.But in such a short time, the military doctor 'heard', it seems that the news spread really quickly!

Because of returning to the camp, there was a woman sitting in the tent, her face was pale and she looked a little haggard.It was Chu Xiying who saw her come in and quickly got up to salute.

Shan Junxiang didn't stop him, he just threw the two packs of medicines on the table, and said, "Passing by the medicine account, the old military doctor forced me two pairs of warming and tonic medicines, I thought you might need them, so I kept them. It's up to you."

"Master Xie Dan" Chu Xiying was quite surprised.

"I'm responsible for General Chu's affairs. You just need to live with me at ease." After Shan Junxiang said that, he was about to leave.

"My lord Shan!" Chu Xiying hurriedly called her to stop, and said worriedly, "Is there still no whereabouts of the brother-in-law?"

"What I promised, I will definitely do it." Shan Junxiang did not turn his head, and said indifferently, "King Qi is already in the army. If you don't want to see her, don't go out." Duan Hongying had already guessed that Chu Xiying will come here to find her, right?

Seeing her leave, Ying'er complained, "If she hadn't been careless, the young master wouldn't have disappeared. It's useless for us to stay here all day, so we might as well go to King Qi."

"Ying'er" Feng lifted the tent, Chu Xiying sighed, and was about to speak, when he saw Shan Junxiang still standing in front of the tent, his back turned to her, motionless.Chu Xiying was slightly surprised and stopped talking.The figure paused for a moment, then walked away.

Ying'er's eyes widened, and it took a long time to let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Miss, this person is weird, he just hangs around all day and doesn't do anything serious, he doesn't seem like a good person."

Chu Xiying stared at the medicine bag in silence.This person should be reliable, right?

Let's say that at that time, the people in Liang City were terrified, and the Prince Liang's mansion was in chaos.

Mrs. Huang sat anxiously in the main hall, waiting for Feihong to come, but it was already dark, and the Taoist came leisurely.He was dressed in a loose Taoist robe, with gray eyebrows, and he held a gourd in his hand.Sitting unsteadily on the threshold, he said with a drunken smile, "What do you want me to tell you, Madam?"

The Huang family has always been dignified and majestic, no one would dare to be so presumptuous in front of her.Immediately drank, the Taoist got up.

The Taoist priest was not angry either, he turned around with a smile, and made a bow to her in a dignified manner, which made the deacons on both sides laugh.Mrs. Huang had no time to look at him, and said, "The King of Qi sent a war post, inviting us to fight at Xushi tomorrow. She has 30 troops and nearly [-] chariots. It seems that she is going to attack by force. Besides, since the Shan Jun came, there has been a shortage of food and grass. Now the city The common people started to make trouble again. Alas, I wonder how the state teacher went to talk about Zhao Chen's affairs?"

"Your Majesty, the two kings of Zhao and Chen have already surrendered, and they are sending troops to help, but the journey is far away, and we have to wait for two more days." The Taoist said, "As for the King of Qi, you don't have to worry about it. She has already lost several battles. , have suffered from a strong attack, this time I will definitely not march in a big way, but take a slanted sword..."

Before he could say a word, a Taoist boy came in holding a thin bamboo tube and said, "Your Majesty, the national teacher, there is a secret report."

Feihong laughed, and said, "Wait for the poor to watch for the empress first." Because he put the plug on the bamboo tube and pulled it out, he took out a roll of paper:

Frontal attack is false, side attack is real

After Feihong finished reading, he laughed loudly, "Sure enough, he was born too young, Madam, you can rest assured."
