Dynasty Call: Low-Key Struggle for Hegemony

Chapter 365 Calculation

King Yu was sitting there cross-legged, with a leadership quality naturally exuding from his body. He held the teacup with his slender fingers and raised the corners of his mouth slightly:

"So, how can we use this Song Jiang?"

"Didn't the King of Chu want to separate the Lianzhou Alliance? Let him join forces with Song Jiangliyingwai." Wei Wen showed a faint smile and said as he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

Tang Mu frowned lightly, "Didn't it take too much time? The imperial army is also attacking Fengzhou now. If they attack Fengzhou first, after all, the commander is Shangguan Zhenyu."

After hearing Shangguan Zhenyu's name, Tang Cangtuo's eyes finally changed, revealing a look of fear:

"Shangguan Zhenyu is fierce but subtle. Many people will be deceived by his strength and bravery. Ji Wushuang has guarded Yizhou for many years. Many people in Feng and Yizhou worship Ji Wushuang. The enemy general is ahead and he enters alone. The incident of worshiping Ji Wushuang in the hinterland of the enemy spread widely. Coupled with the orthodox status of the imperial court, Shangguan Zhenyu's reputation in the two states has been established.

Once Fengding City is conquered, the imperial army will be like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger and unstoppable! "

Wei Wen's eyes also showed a trace of solemnity. It was indeed much easier for the imperial army than them.

"It doesn't matter, we don't need to worry too much about the battle in Fengzhou." King Yu gently placed the tea cup on the white handkerchief in front of him, his face even showed worry: "Fifth brother is more worried about the situation in Fengzhou than us. With his cautious It seems that there is no backup plan, and Gu is even worried that the imperial army will be defeated in Fengzhou first."

"Your Highness is afraid that the imperial army will be defeated, which will lead to changes in the imperial court, and suddenly change the target to attack us!" Wei Wen said with a steady look on his face, he understands King Yu.

Tang Mu's face changed slightly, it was indeed possible!

King Yu put his two fingers together and tapped the table, "If there is no chance of a fatal blow, it will be difficult to deal with the fifth brother. He will lose Huanqing Mansion and Huanzhou. He still has Lingzhou. It is a difficult problem." It’s a tough nut to crack, Gu is ready for a long war, so we must first solve our worries, one is the Lianzhou Alliance, and the other is the eldest princess Li Mujun!”

Wei Wen nodded heavily: "The King of Chu is now separating from the Lianzhou Alliance. We can just watch quietly from the side. I believe that we will be able to win over Fengxue Tower soon!"

"But the eldest princess?" Wei Wen frowned and couldn't say anything, because people like the eldest princess Li Mujun are really difficult to judge and unpredictable, and cannot be inferred by common sense.

"I'm afraid that she will be taken advantage of by others, such as the fifth brother!" Prince Yu, dressed in white as snow, with fluttering sleeves, a handsome face, and a cold look in his narrow eyes, "I have said before that the fifth brother sent me a long time ago. When someone enters Kyoto, he will definitely try his best to make his secret son someone Li Mujun trusts."

Thinking of Li Mujun, King Yu had to show a hint of admiration. He admitted that he had neglected her, but King Xuan still had a better move!

But it was Prince Xuan's method that reminded both Prince Yu and Li Yuan that they could use their aunt in this way.

Wei Wen's face moved slightly and he said: "When Your Highness mentioned the eldest princess, he gave his subordinates a warning. After Zhao Yan became famous and retired some time ago, the eldest princess seemed to have an inseparable confidant named Shangguan Wan'er. This woman is talented and has strong political skills. She has made suggestions and won over many officials for the eldest princess, and even many people in the royal family have gradually recognized the eldest princess."

The faces of the three people all changed.

"Shangguan Wan'er?"

As King Yu's most trusted advisor, Wei Wen has always been responsible for everything in Kyoto.

Prince Yu said calmly: "Can we find out her origin?"

"No, it is said that the eldest princess found a talented woman from among the people!" Wei Wen shook his head.

"Found it among the people?"

"Oh, how could my aunt have such ability?" King Yu replied directly in the negative.

Tang Mu and Tang Cangtuo, who had always been quiet, also nodded.

"It seems that there is something wrong with this Shangguan Wan'er. Could it be that he was sent by the King of Chu?" Tang Mu's eyes flickered and he saw that the tea in the cups of the other three people was empty. He poured the tea as he spoke.

"It's all possible, but it's also possible that it's Prince Xuan!" Wei Wen looked thoughtful, "Everyone knows that Zhao Yan is from Prince Xuan, so many people will no longer doubt that Shangguan Wan'er is from Prince Xuan. If Xuan The king went against the grain and deliberately interfered with everyone. It might not be impossible to send another one.

Of course, he might actually be a great talent among the people. It is no joke that heroes and talents emerge from troubled times. "Wei Wen said cautiously.

"Then should we get rid of her directly, or explore her origin?" Tang Mu's eyes showed a hint of murderous intent. Anyway, they have determined that Shangguan Wan'er is not from their side. It doesn't matter whether this great talent is from King Chu or King Xuan. No one, not even the eldest princess, can be kept.

This time, King Yu did not speak anymore, but slowly closed his eyes, seemingly lost in thought. It took a long time before he heard his voice:

"As a last resort, keep her first. At least we now know her situation and secretly explore her origins.

If we get rid of her, the people behind her will still send people to aunt, and it will be much more difficult for us to find another secret agent. "

There was a trace of hesitation in Tang Mu's eyes, and he hesitated to speak. The eldest princess was a big variable, and now there was another variable next to the big variable. If it was not dealt with in time, it would be too late.

Wei Wen noticed Tang Mu's expression, but smiled and said:

"We don't need to deal with this matter at all. As long as we reveal this news to one person, he will be more anxious than us."

Hearing Wei Wen's words, Tang Mu's eyes moved, and he instantly thought of a young figure, and blurted out: "King Heng!"

"That's right, it's King Heng. Now King Heng is following the imperial army to attack Fengzhou. Before Fengzhou is conquered, King Heng will definitely pay attention to every move of the eldest princess. We can only reveal this news to him, and he will definitely He will be more anxious than us to know the identity of this woman." Wei Wen said with a smile on his face, his eyes flashing with cold light from time to time.

"Now King Heng has conquered the two commanders of the secret guards."

Tang Mu nodded lightly, this method was very worry-free.

"We will proceed as planned in the next period. We can even add fuel to the fire to the Lianzhou Alliance. As for the fifth brother, we can only slowly let him relax and relax his vigilance." King Yu said in a deep voice, his voice was very calm, and he continued There was no ripple at all, just as if he was talking about some ordinary trivial matter.

For a true king, what matters is never a city or a palace.

"yes!"

Wei Wen, Tang Mu, and Tang Cangtuo all responded.

Not far away from their meeting. A room was filled with the smell of medicine. Luo Shouren had taken off his armor and was lying cross-legged on the bed in plain clothes. He was breathing steadily. The wound on his shoulder had been glued together, and there was a faint trace of blood oozing out.

"Click!"

The door to the room opened slightly, and a burly figure walked in, holding a bag of very precious medicinal materials in his hand.

Luo Shouren opened his eyes and saw this person walking in, and smiled slightly:

"Brother Wei!"

"His Highness feels that Brother Luo and Feng Chao are both seriously injured. Just in case, he has asked a few of us to take turns guarding you at night until you recover. For these few nights, we have eaten and slept together."

"Your Highness is still too cautious. We are in the military base camp, so there is no danger." Luo Shouren shook his head and smiled, but his eyes were still full of emotion.

Wei Wentong tossed the medicinal materials in his hand lightly and handed them to Luo Shouren, "Here, this is a secret method passed down by my family. The medicinal material Ginseng and Deer Antler Paste is secretly made from thousand-year-old ginseng. It has a very good therapeutic effect on wounds. It can heal wounds in just a few days." It can be cured.”

Luo Shouren's eyes lit up, he took the medicinal materials directly and said unceremoniously: "Thank you, Brother Wei."

"No need to be polite. If you and General Du hadn't saved me, I would have died at the hands of the Dongyu family." Wei Wentong casually leaned on the chair.

"We are lucky to have met Brother Wei. We have a Pao Ze beside us." Luo Shouren said with a gentle smile.

"Can you still move now?" Wei Wentong raised his eyebrows and suddenly showed a meaningful smile.

"Uh...Brother Wei, what does this mean?" Luo Shouren didn't quite understand.

"Hey, you know!" Wei Wentong showed a look that every man understands.

"In Huanqing City, the young girls from the small families and forces in the Lianzhou Alliance have been brought here just for this moment. As long as we wave our hands, those small families and forces will rush to send them over tonight."

Luo Shouren shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Wei, let's forget it. They just want to have a relationship with us. I don't want to get too involved with them."

Wei Wentong retorted: "What are you afraid of? His Highness has allowed it and even hopes that we will have a relationship with them. They took the initiative to send it to us. Don't give up!"

"No, it's better to be careful." Luo Shouren quickly waved his hand and refused.

"Okay, that's up to you. Anyway, Old Wei, I am now alone. I urgently need to spread the branches and leaves for our Wei family to continue the lineage. I won't pick it!" Wei Wentong sighed when he saw that Luo Shouren didn't want it. He didn't want it, and he couldn't take it with him. Let a few beauties do it for him on the spot.

We can only wait until Luo Shouren recovers from his injury.

……………………

Fengzhou, outside Fengding City, fifty miles away, the imperial military tents stretch across the mountains, with blazing bonfires. In the center, there is a huge tent with tiger skins on the floor, which is extremely luxurious.

"Your Highness, General, today King Yu and the King of Chu sent their armies to fight, and they were defeated in both battles!"

A messenger entered the military tent to report.

At this news, everyone in the military tent looked slightly shocked. Only Shangguan Zhenyu kept a solemn expression, his eyes always staying in the center of the military tent, a huge sand table ten feet wide and six feet long, with undulating heights and Fengding City. And all the terrain of Fengtian Mansion is densely covered on it.

In the military tent, Li Heng was dressed in a white robe with golden carvings. He was simple but had a sense of grandeur. He had a tall and straight posture, a handsome and calm face, and looked very heroic. When he heard the news from the messenger, he was a little surprised. Quietly. After a few seconds, he sighed:

"I didn't expect that the Fifth Emperor Brother was so strong. The Third Emperor Brother's Feng Chao was extremely brave. Even in Kyoto, I had heard about it. I didn't expect that he would lose to an unknown Guan Sheng, and Luo Shouren was a top military general. He is famous in the Yu Dynasty, but he lost to Zhongli Mei."

In the military camp, there are more than a dozen generals who have experienced hundreds of battles, each wearing heavy armor. Some of them are generals who follow Shangguan Zhenyu, and some are retired generals invited by Li Heng in Kyoto. He is a good general both offensively and defensively.

"The fierce generals under the command of the King of Chu are also extremely extraordinary. Zhongli Mei is the number one general under the King of Chu's Fa Zun realm, second only to Lu Bu and Yuwen Chengdu. He is naturally powerful. It is not surprising that he can be stronger than Luo Shouren. But Guan Sheng is indeed It’s unexpected, it seems that there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons under the command of the King of Chu, so we must be extremely vigilant, lest there are strange generals hidden in Fengding City.”

A strong general wearing green armor with sharp eyes and an aura like a crouching tiger stared at the sand table and spoke calmly.

Wu Guanxiong, deputy commander of the imperial army, second only to Shangguan Zhenyu.

The territory of the Dayu Dynasty was very vast. In addition to the top ten famous generals, there were many brave and skilled generals. Some were only a little weaker than the top ten generals, and some were even as capable as those behind the top ten generals. But there is just one less opportunity and no stage to show himself. Wu Guanxiong is such a person.

In front of many people, Wu Guanxiong is one of the top ten famous generals, and Chu Junyan is not considered one at all.

As Wu Guanxiong spoke, everyone's minds turned from the news back to the sandbox and back to the issue they had just discussed.

A general pointed to Fengding City, a large city with a sand table at the front, which was the first barrier blocking them.

"Lu Bu, the general guarding Fengding City, has his presence. It will be extremely difficult for us to attack Fengding City. If we attack Fengding City by force, we will suffer heavy losses."

"I think we can send a small number of troops to bypass the rear of Fengding City and enter Fengtian Mansion in small groups to harass the enemy's rear." Another general suggested.

Some military generals objected: "No, although the King of Chu has not yet completely controlled Fengzhou, there must be many soldiers and horses guarding the rear of Fengding City. If a small team is sent there, without a strong military general to lead it, I'm afraid it won't be able to raise a little waves.

But if you send a general there, if you are surrounded, you will lose your troops and generals. "

Others also nodded one after another, but fell silent. Fengding City was very tightly defended and was indeed difficult to defeat. They could not figure out how to break through Fengding City for the time being.

But many generals were calm and couldn't think of anything normal now. After all, this was sent by the King of Chu to defend them. How could they be able to break through it in a day or two.

"Don't worry, King Yu is just fighting first, which means King Yu is not ready to attack. For this plan, I think we should not take siege as the main goal first, but get rid of Lu Bu first!" Wu Guanxiong said as he spoke , looking at Shangguan Zhenyu.

Shangguan Zhenyu seemed to understand what Wu Guanxiong meant, with a firm look in his eyes:

"I plus a hundred thousand phantom cavalry legions are enough to strangle Lu Bu."

This 100,000 phantom cavalry legion was re-established by Shangguan Zhenyu in recent years.

Wu Guanxiong's eyes lit up and he said:

"Okay, Lu Bu has a rebellious character. I guess he is definitely not a general willing to defend the city. We can try to use Lu Bu's rebellious character to seduce him out of the city." (End of Chapter)
