Chapter 1579 New Glory

"Bob Zhao is very easy to talk to."

In the Daicheng treasury, Jiang Wang was cleaning up all kinds of Taoist secrets and copying them in the Taoist stage, while talking to Zhongxuansheng who was doing the same thing on the opposite side of the bookshelf.

"North of Dai City, they won't come, and more people will come. To the south of Dai City, if we don't come, no one can come." Chong Xuan Sheng said in a casual tone: "When we talk, everyone can tell two things. It makes sense. But everyone with a discerning eye knows the truth.”

He smiled: "And I am already very kind and give them a share of the strategic merits."

"Isn't it because we need to rely on Xie Baoshu's relationship to take the lead in the Fengli West Road offensive?" Jiang Wang asked coldly.

Chong Xuan Sheng stopped checking Taoist techniques and looked at him in surprise.

Jiang Wang added: "Besides, we are already exhausted and can't eat much. If they really want to bypass us and do it on their own, how can we still fight with them? It's better to just take what we need as we do now." "

"Amazing, Sir Jiang!"

Chongxuan Sheng praised, and then said: "Those who don't know how to fight can go to the battlefield. Those who only know how to fight must not go to the battlefield. This is... what my grandfather said."

He smiled inexplicably.

Then he said: "If you can think of these, you can already be a qualified general. But you didn't mention the more important part.

War is never war itself.

Yes, we worked hard to get behind enemy lines, worked desperately, and accomplished great feats.

But what is the basis for this series of feats?

It was Xie Shuai who suppressed Xia Jun on the frontal battlefield.

It is our army of 300,000, pressing down on the enemy city and fighting. The pressure was so great that Xia Jun did not dare to take the lead and could only hold on. Their main force was defeated steadily and had no time to care about them. Only three thousand of us came and went.

After a big battle, hundreds of thousands of people were fighting, and everyone was fighting for their lives.

In the end, if it's just our battalion that wants to steal merit... we won't be able to go far.

As you fight later, you will find that your troops are getting fewer and fewer, your supply is getting more and more difficult, your strategic space is getting narrower and narrower, you are in trouble and everything is not going well... The so-called "you have no freedom when transporting heroes"! Where does all this luck come from? Most of what is lost is the human heart. "

Jiang Wang thought thoughtfully: "So we want to tie up both Bobozhao and Xie Baoshu?"

"Bao Bozhao, the eldest son of Uncle Shuofang, is definitely the next uncle of Shuofang. Xie Baoshu, the nephew of the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front of the Qi Army, regards him as his own son. When we had a conflict with him, Commander Xie personally came to make peace with him..." Chong Xuan Sheng laughed: "Two good people!"

"Indeed it's not bad." Jiang Wang laughed.

At this time, Fourteen stood quietly at the door, his face facing outward. I heard the two of them chatting, and I didn't know if they were practicing or in a daze.

No matter where she is, she has her peace.

Jiang Wang checked for a while and then asked: "By the way, where is Zhong Xuanzun? Didn't you say he would come to Daicheng?"

"Yes, I was originally going to give him an extra burden. I thought about it seriously for a long time and considered it for him..." Chong Xuansheng sighed and said with some worry: "Since he didn't come to Daicheng, he must be holding back. Trying to do something earth-shattering, in layman’s terms – going crazy.”

"What big thing could it be?" Jiang Wangwang became curious.

"Who knows? A sneak attack on Guiyi? Harassing Pinglin? Challenging Yu Liyang? Want to go around and break out the flaw in Tongyang City's defense line?" Chongxuan Sheng lowered his head and continued to check Taoism.

While sighing casually: "Oh, they all blame me for being too good and putting too much pressure on him! Of course, you Sir Jiang also deserves credit."

Turning over and over, he suddenly paused.

With a snap, he closed the books in his hands.

"Daye!"

He was absolutely authentic.

"Daye? This...is impossible? Even if he goes, what can he do?"

No matter how little Jiang Wang knows about military affairs, he still has a general understanding of the Xia Kingdom when he comes to participate in the battle against Xia. Know where Daye Mansion is.

The most vicious words people use to criticize a person are usually "dig up your family's ancestral graves."

Daye Mansion can basically be regarded as the ancestral tomb of the Daxia royal family...

Its importance is self-evident.

The official configuration of Daye Prefecture is higher than that of other prefectures. In addition to the own government troops, there are also mausoleum guarding troops that will not be dispatched when the throne changes. When Emperor Xia Xiang died in battle and was buried after the war, I don't know how many soldiers volunteered to guard his mausoleum. One can imagine the qualities of the warriors who were able to survive that Qi Xia war...

Although Zhong Xuanzun is a peerless talent, he is only in his twenties after all. With a vanguard battalion of 3,000 people, what can he do in Daye Mansion?

"Yes, this is impossible." Zhongxuan Sheng murmured: "But among all the impossible choices, this is the most likely..."

"Are you starting to worry?" Jiang Wang couldn't help teasing him when it was rare to see the fat man making mistakes.

"What's there to worry about!" Chong Xuansheng sneered: "Did I not notice Daye? I didn't choose that place, naturally because it was impossible to succeed! With both of us being wise and brave, the chance of success is also very slim. . How can Chongxuan Zun be an exception?"

Jiang Wang thought to himself, I am indeed wise and brave, but your courage may be a bit lacking.

But Zhongxuansheng murmured again at this time: "Perhaps the only thing beyond my calculation is his personal power..."

"I'm better than him in everything, except when it comes to things like fighting, I'm not as brutal as him."

He said and looked at Jiang Wang: "Brother Wang, tell me, how strong is he after the arrival of God?"

This is the second time that Zhong Xuan Sheng has confirmed Zhong Xuan Zun's strength with Jiang Wang.

With Chong Xuan Sheng's wisdom, this is almost unimaginable.

It can only be said that competing with Zhongxuanzun is indeed his deepest obsession.

Human wisdom can only enlighten others, but it is difficult to break "self-grasping".

That’s why Buddhist monks regard “non-attachment” as the state of Dzogchen.

Jiang Wang said seriously this time: "Facing him in the outer building realm, I'm afraid it's still difficult for me to win now, so let's go with it. If it's a life-and-death fight, it's possible for anyone to live or die. Facing God's presence I didn't have a chance when he was in the divine realm. At that time, he had dispersed all his magical powers, but my sword power couldn't catch him... But I couldn't measure how strong he was in the divine realm. "

Chong Xuansheng knew Jiang Wang very well and knew that his evaluation was very reliable. This man will not belittle his opponents and will never belittle himself.

But there was no way to measure these four words... and it really made it difficult for him to make an accurate judgment. And this is precisely related to the possibility of Zhongxuan's trip to Daye Mansion.

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "If you were a god, how strong would you be?"

He naturally wanted to use Jiang Wang's strength to judge Zhong Xuanzun's strength.

But Jiang Wang shook his head: "I can't really understand it until I get to that point."

He held the Taoist book in his hand: "I can only say that I have a premonition that 'I'..."

With immortal red gold flowing in his eyes, he whispered the last two words: "Very strong!"

This old magic library in Dai City was suddenly swallowed up by silence.

Jiang Wang actually didn't say anything substantive.

But deep down in Zhong Xuan Sheng's heart, there was indeed a huge sense of security. Suddenly, he didn't care much about whether Zhong Xuanzun could succeed.

The person next to you doesn’t always do the “right” thing.

There are often even choices that run counter to their common interests.

Often doing things he considers "stupid".

But among the "smart people" that Zhong Xuan Sheng knew were always able to make choices that were in his interest, it was impossible for any of them to gain his trust without suspicion.

The person next to you can’t always win.

When he stood up to face Wang Yiwu at Linzi East Street, he was not sure. But he still stood up.

He was not sure when he stood up to challenge Zhongxuan Zun in the western suburbs. But he also stood up.

Without any hesitation, the man rose and the sword roared.

Just like the essence of all tactics on the battlefield, they are all designed to create a situation where the masses will overwhelm the few and the strong will attack the weak.

No one wants to take on a challenge that they are not sure about.

But there are always some choices, based on personal safety and honor.

People call it - "bond".

It is an emotion that is constantly cutting and cannot be let go.

Yu Jiangwang and Yu Zhongxuansheng, the friendship between them has gone through too much.

Before interests, we can have nothing to do with each other.

Before the crisis, we can support each other in life and death.

Therefore, at this moment, Chong Xuansheng did not speak.

He just wanted to——

"I'm really looking forward to that moment."

…

…

Chongxuan Sheng used the shortest time to reorganize the city defense of Dai City. Those who surrendered were directly used in formation, and those who refused to surrender were temporarily detained.

Compared with Ximing City, the recruitment and surrender work in Dai City is much easier.

Because Xue Rushi, the lord of the city, helped to negotiate, and because Dai City chose to surrender when a large army was besieging the city, there were no reinforcements, and the enemy troops were attacking from the rear.

more importantly--

At that time in Ximing City, the Qi army was isolated, and Chong Xuansheng's lavish talk was just a big picture. At this time, in Dai City, there will be a steady stream of Qi troops coming, but there will be no more Xia troops.

The final outcome of the war may still be unknown, but for a foreseeable long time, Dai City will definitely be in the hands of the Qi army.

In this way, one can imagine the will of the Dai City defenders to resist.

Previously in Honggu City and Xinjie City, there was neither time nor conditions, so Chongxuan Sheng directly drove away the defenders without thinking of surrendering.

In Dai City, he used many methods.

He made everyone from Xue Rushi down to be docile and docile.

Excluding those who died in the offensive and defensive battles, and those who surrendered but were determined not to "help the tyrants", a total of 6,000 people finally chose to surrender to Qi.

Of course, they are not necessarily very reliable, and Chongxuan Sheng will not use them to carry out difficult combat missions.

It was just to fill the vacancy before the reinforcements from Linwu direction arrived, so as to maximize the use of time.

Chongxuan Sheng left a thousand men to garrison Daicheng, and used a shadow guard to take charge of Yiying city defense affairs, waiting for most of the Qi army to come over. Another five thousand people were organized into the "Xinrong Camp", with Xue Rushi still as the general.

It took two days to complete the work of reorganizing the city defense and reorganizing the troops.

He did not wait for the reinforcements from Qingzhuan and directly led the Shengying and Xinrong camps to attack, aiming directly at Shouan City, south of Dai City and close to Huiming Prefecture.

Before the troops left Dai City, Chongxuansheng had this conversation with Xue Rushi——

Chongxuansheng asked him to stay in Dai City and be responsible for the city's defense, saying: "I don't want to hurt you or dampen your enthusiasm. Qi will never forget the contribution of dedicating the city."

Xue Rushi replied: "I have no other thoughts in my heart. I am planning for my future wealth."

So he took him with him on the expedition.

In the process of leading the army to surrender, he met with Fan Ao, the Marquis of Xuanping, and saw Fan Ao's painful return process. Xue Rushi had no room for maneuver in the Xia Kingdom.

Only when Qi finally won a great victory and destroyed the Xia Kingdom in one battle, he could raise his head again.

So such a person might be more loyal and more useful than the generals in the coalition forces of the Eastern Region.

With the Victory Camp as the cavalry and the Xinrong Camp as the infantry, the troops were sent to Shouan.

One day later, the Victory Camp arrived in Shouan first.

Chong Xuansheng did nothing else, just joined forces with Jiang Wang and Shisi, led the cavalry to circle the city and lock it, prohibiting Shouan from traffic and not allowing anyone to leave the city. There was a flying beast flying in the sky, and it was also shot with an arrow.

The city was surrounded but not attacked, just to persuade it to surrender. In the end, it was nothing more than the words that Linwu was completely trapped, Fengli Prefecture was about to be overturned, and the soldiers and civilians of Shouan should think about themselves.

Two days later, the Xinrong Camp arrived.

Xue Rushi's loyalty and dedication, as well as his military management methods, can be seen from the speed of the march.

Chong Xuansheng deliberately did not arrange any means of restraint, and it was all up to Xue Rushi to be self-conscious. Because of the current environment of Fengli Prefecture, the Qi army really does not lack these 6,000 people.

And Xue Rushi, with a group of surrendered soldiers with low morale, was able to rush to Shouan in two days, and there were 6,000 people in the entire camp, and not many people fell behind, which was enough to show his loyalty - when he was still a general of the Xia Kingdom, he might not be able to do it so promptly.

Of course, in the Xinrong Camp, Chong Xuansheng also temporarily bribed no less than three informants who did not know each other, and each verified the news. If Xue Rushi really had any thoughts, he could not hide it from him.

So he used the Xinrong Camp...

to continue to persuade the Shouan defenders to surrender.

…

“It’s impossible to fight.”

Zhong Xuansheng stood on the ground, looking at the Shou’an city wall, and said to Jiang Wang who was sitting cross-legged on horseback, “Brothers are tired, and Xinrong Camp has just surrendered. If you ask them to attack the city and die, they will come back to chop you with knives. Xue Rushi can’t suppress them!”

“But it’s better to persuade them to surrender. There is a good chance of persuading them to surrender.”

“I used the cavalry to blockade Shou’an for two days, cutting off all news. People in the city have been panicking for a long time.”

He was full of confidence: “Xinrong Camp is the Xia army, so it’s a good opportunity to demonstrate. Xue Rushi, as the original lord of Daicheng, has some friendship with these city lords and guards——”

“Fuck you, Xue Rushi, your mother must have eaten the heart-eating grass and mixed it with blind powder to give birth to a bastard like you who betrays the country for glory! You want me to surrender like you, bah! I’m afraid that my son will have no asshole in the future!” Shou’an City Lord jumped up and cursed at the top of Shou’an City.

"Hey! This city lord is from Changluo!" Zhong Xuansheng turned his head and said to Jiang Wang, "He speaks with a bit of an accent from there!"
