Chapter 480: Shocking Changes and Zhao Kuo’s Killing

Hearing Zhao Tuo mentioning Saint Guigu, the atmosphere in the palace instantly turned cold. Sage Guigu, the oldest and most mysterious saint in the world, achieved enlightenment five thousand years ago, and even earlier can be traced back to the previous dynasty.

Even the Saint of Guigu praises those who are optimistic about him, so what reason does everyone have to look down on him? The most important thing is that since Zhao Kuo's debut, he has played sand table games with countless military masters in the world, ranging from military saints to famous generals from various countries, and he has never been defeated.

This is the scariest thing. Moreover, all the military strategists were convinced of him and believed that this man had understood all the art of war in the world, and that he was otherworldly and beyond the world, so this man seemed particularly terrifying.

Even the military sage's sand table deduction was defeated by him, which shows this man's magical powers. And everyone actually said that they were not unjustly defeated!

That's why Zhao Kuo has such a powerful and incredible influence among all the countries in the world. Hearing that Zhao Kuo actually led two million troops to attack the pass, even the generals of the Yu Kingdom were frightened.

It has nothing to do with self-confidence, but Zhao Kuo's record is too beautiful.

"The king can send the royal family members and lead the masters of the eight major noble families to suppress the rear. It may be possible to save the fate of the country at the critical moment. Zhao Kuo must not be underestimated." Murong Longcheng looked cautious.

The Lord of Dayu Kingdom looked at the generals in front of him with his eyes, and his heart was beating continuously. Countless thoughts came into his mind: "What Murong Longcheng and others said is not unreasonable. Moreover, Murong Longcheng devoted all the people of Dayu Kingdom to me." If the elites have second thoughts and defect on the battlefield, or rush into the capital, who can stop them? I will dispatch the eight major nobles to the front to suppress the rear, which can be regarded as a deterrent."

"Grandson." The Lord of Dayu spoke. Upon hearing this, Xiang Shaolong bowed respectfully and led his troops forward: "I've seen your Majesty."

"You lead the eight noble clans to suppress the rear." The leader of Dayu Kingdom said. Hearing what the Lord of Dayu said, Xiang Shaolong was overjoyed. If he had the eight noble clans in his hands, wouldn't it give him more leverage?

In the future, my position will be even more unshakable!

"My grandson accepts the order and will never let down the king's trust." Xiang Shaolong bowed respectfully.

"We must keep up with food and grass. We fight for food and grass. If we don't have food and grass, we want to ask the soldiers to fight for us on the front line, but they won't do it." The Lord of Dayu said: "How much food does Dayu have now? Can it support the war? How long will the battle last?”

"Once a war breaks out, the soldiers on the front line will inevitably eat with open stomachs. We may not be able to afford the food in our treasury. Didn't the Zhen family transport a batch of food a few days ago? That batch of food can be used for military pay. The soldiers cannot be on the front line. Fighting on an empty stomach." Murong Longcheng said.

"That batch of grain cannot be moved. That batch of grain is used to relieve the people of the Dayu Kingdom. Once it is appropriated, what will the people of the Dayu Kingdom eat? The seeds in the ground have just been planted. What will the people eat? Their stomachs are not full. I'm afraid it will trigger a civil uprising." Xiang Shaolong's expression changed when he heard this.

If the people don't have enough to eat, there will definitely be trouble, and there is no telling how many people will starve to death. By then, all the people in Dayu Kingdom will be starved to death. What use does he have for Dayu Country?

He just wanted to fight for power, but he never thought about destroying Dayu Kingdom.

"There is no food, and the soldiers have no food to eat, so what can they do to fight?" Murong Longcheng argued: "If you want to ask all the brothers to go to the battlefield to fight for us on an empty stomach and throw their lives and blood,

"The commander-in-chief is right. If we ask our brothers to go to the battlefield on an empty stomach, I'm afraid we brothers won't be able to command that million-strong army." Chen Wang followed up.

The Lord of Dayu was silent when he heard this. He tapped his fingers on the armrest of the seat. There was a hint of contemplation in his eyes. After a long time, he said: "First allocate half of the food and grass to the front line so that the brothers can go to the battlefield with full stomachs. You can't leave the brothers empty." Go all out with your stomach full. You must first inspire the morale of the brothers on the front line and repel the external seven-nation coalition forces, so that Dayu can be preserved. Otherwise, the people are still alive, but Dayu destroys the country. If the country does not exist, the people will have to return. What’s the use?”

"Your Majesty." Xiang Shaolong's expression changed.

"No need to say any more, you will lead the army to march after one day of preparation." The leader of the Dayu Kingdom waved his hand to interrupt Xiang Shaolong's words, his voice was full of sighs: "As for how many people in the Dayu Kingdom can survive, it still needs to be It's all up to them to ask for their own blessings." The army marched directly to the front line to face Zhao Kuo.

Cui Yu stood in the yard, and the sparrow hawk was thousands of miles away, taking in all the battlefields thousands of miles away.

Zhao Kuo led an army of two million people and conquered eighteen cities all the way. No one could compete wherever he passed.

"It's not good! The situation in Dayu Kingdom is not good." Zhihu hurriedly walked out of the door, holding a letter and newspaper in his hand.

"What's wrong?" Cui Yu looked away from the horizon.

"The Allied Forces of the Seven Kingdoms, I'm afraid Da Yu will not be able to hold on any longer." Zhihu looked at Cui Yu: "Especially Zhao Kuo, you don't know how terrifying this man is. This man uses his troops like a god, like an antelope hanging its horns without leaving a trace. It can be seen that Murong Longcheng of Dayu Kingdom is probably no match for this person."

"As long as you can delay the time, delaying it for a year and a half is enough." Cui Yu replied calmly.

As long as it is delayed for a year and a half, the Xiang brothers and sisters can successfully complete their transformation, and then with Xiang Yu's bravery, it will not be difficult to regain the territory.

"But the eight major noble families of the Dayu Kingdom have all been mobilized." Zhihu cursed: "Then what exactly does the leader of the Dayu Kingdom want? The eight major noble families do not defend the royal city, but instead rush to the front line. Isn't this nonsense? Taiping Road is still watching. Without the eight major noble clans, I am afraid that Chen Sheng will not be willing to be lonely and lead an army to attack the royal city."

"Soldiers will block you, water will cover you, what's the need to worry?" Cui Yu looked at Zhihu: "I don't believe it. Dayu has been a country for five thousand years and has no foundation at all. Not even a mere Chen Sheng can stop him." Zhihu smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid you are overestimating these vassal states. How do you think those vassal states were destroyed in the troubled times? If the vassal states were really that strong, they would not be destroyed."

"Wait a minute." Cui Yu said unhurriedly: "Let the soldiers of Dayu State compete with the opponent first." Time rushed, and three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Daze Lake Chen Sheng looked at the letter in his hand, with a look of contemplation in his eyes.

"The Kingdom of Yu is about to be destroyed." Zhang Liang broke the silence.

"Why do you teach me, sir?" Chen Sheng asked.

"I don't believe that the general didn't realize it. The commander-in-chief of Yu State had been fighting fiercely with Zhao Kuo for a month, but he chose to defend with the door closed instead of attacking head-on. This already shows the guilty conscience of the general of Yu State. If you defend for a long time, you will lose. The generals of Dayu Kingdom have been frightened out of their courage by Zhao Kuo, and they don’t even have the courage to fight." Zhang Liang shook his head, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

"For the Yu Kingdom, procrastination is victory. How long can the Seven-Nation Alliance last with millions of people eating horse chews? As long as the delay continues and the food and grass on the other side are exhausted, the Yu Kingdom will win." Chen Sheng had a different opinion: " I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this method.”

"The general's words are wrong. It is not the seven countries that are consumed by the war with Dayu Kingdom, but countless forces and families. Why can Dayu Kingdom persist?" Zhang Liang said unhurriedly: "Now, on the contrary, It’s the general’s opportunity.”

"My chance?" Chen Sheng didn't know where the opportunity was.

"The Yu Kingdom is full of starving people. The general can order his soldiers to pretend to be starving people and sneak into the city. Then at the critical moment, they can cooperate with the inside and outside to seize the city directly." Zhang Liang said with a smile.

"The soldiers of the Dayu Kingdom were at the border and did not fight with the Seven Nations Allied Forces. If they turned their guns to destroy me, wouldn't they have created opportunities for the Seven Nations Allied Forces? Did they allow the Seven Nations Allied Forces to succeed? I became cannon fodder for the Seven Nations Allied Forces. ?" Chen Sheng was hesitant.

Zhang Liang smiled when he heard this, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Sheng: "This is the letter sent by Chen Sheng. Zhao Kuo led the seven-nation coalition to deploy on the border for a month. A war to destroy the country will eventually begin. Open. Zhao Kuo is planning a decisive battle. He wants to decide the outcome with one blow at the border, completely eliminate the national power of Dayu Kingdom, and then march straight into the Dayu Kingdom to defeat Dayu Kingdom. However, he needs the help of generals to lead The seven major noble families who founded the Yu Kingdom."

"One battle will determine the fate of the country?" Chen Sheng was stunned by Zhao Kuo's ambition, with a look of astonishment in his eyes. After receiving the letter, Chen Sheng began to read it, and his brows slowly wrinkled: "He said he asked me to attack the capital of Yu Kingdom and lure the seven noble clans back? He wanted to use me as cannon fodder!" Zhao Kuo's The letter was very simple. He told him to attack the capital of Dayu Kingdom, and then asked the seven major nobles to leave the front line and return to the capital of Dayu Kingdom to escort them.

Then Zhao Kuo found an opportunity to annihilate the effective forces on the front line of the Dayu Kingdom in one fell swoop, and then joined forces with Chen Sheng to annihilate the seven major noble families of the Dayu Kingdom and make dumplings of the seven major noble families.

"The headquarters of the seven major noble families are all in the capital of Dayu. As long as the general attacks the capital of Dayu, the warriors of the seven major noble families will definitely be shaken." Zhang Liang looked at Chen Sheng.

"It's easy to say, but how can he guarantee that I can withstand the counterattack of the reinforcements from the seven noble clans? I'm afraid that I will be hacked to death by the returning masters of the seven noble clans before I can break into the capital of Dayu Kingdom. "Chen Sheng rejected this proposal: "The seven major noble families are the elites of the Dayu Kingdom. Asking me to fight with the elites of the seven major noble families is simply nonsense." He is not a fool. As long as he is not a fool, he will never do this. Kind of a mindless thing.

It seems that he saw the doubts in the other party's mind: "General, this matter may not be impossible. As long as the capital of Dayu is captured before the seven major noble clans return for reinforcements, we can rely on the natural defense of the capital of Dayu to defeat the seven major noble clans. The masters were turned away. When Zhao Kuo leads the army to support and makes dumplings of the seven noble families in front of the capital of Dayu, the matter will be completed."

"Capturing the capital of Dayu State is equivalent to mastering the dragon vein of Dayu State. By then, the general will be able to accomplish great things." Zhang Liang said with a smile.

"But there are too many factors that are difficult to control in the operation. A slight mistake will lead to irreparable consequences." Chen Sheng shook his head.

After hearing Chen Sheng's words, Zhang Liang said with a smile: "General, you are not alone. You have the entire Taiping Dao behind you." Chen Sheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"There are Taiping Dao insiders among the seven great noble clans. If you set up an ambush in the capital of Dayu to trap the seven great noble clans, and then have the senior officials of the Taiping Dao come forward to persuade the seven great noble clans to surrender... Then cooperate with the seven major noble families in the city and open up the Yu Kingdom. Isn't it a logical thing?" Zhang Liang winked at Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng was stunned when he heard this. He hadn't thought about this level yet. If he could pull the seven major noble clans into the water and become the backbone of Taiping Road, wouldn't his power skyrocket by then?

Being crowned king of all lands is by no means a dream.

"Now the Chen family of Dayu Kingdom is under the control of the young master, and the other families have already made plans to take a step further and become nobles. As long as the young master offers inducements to the other families, they can be included directly without taking any action. Take control." There was light in Zhang Liang's eyes.

If he could help Chen Sheng to capture the Kingdom of Yu, he would surely become famous all over the world. What's more, you can collect more power of faith.

"We are all nobles. The seven noble tribes have always been equal. I am afraid that the seven noble tribes will not surrender to me." Chen Sheng was not as optimistic as Zhang Liang.

"Hahaha! Hahaha!" Zhang Liang laughed when he heard this: "I don't hide it from you, at least three of the other six families have joined Taipingdao. Now that you are the leader elected by Taipingdao, as long as Taipingdao has a piece of paper, The letter cannot help them not bowing their heads." After hearing Zhang Liang's words, Chen Sheng felt relieved: "What we have to do now is how to quickly break through the cities along the way and quickly enter the capital of Dayu."

"There is a severe drought in the world, and countless refugees are dying of hunger. As long as the young master raises his arms and calls out, all the refugees in the Dayu Kingdom will be the young master's soldiers." Zhang Liang's voice was full of certainty.

In the next month, Chen Sheng's momentum was unstoppable. Countless refugees who could not survive wherever he went joined the Taiping Road army one after another.

In just half a month, Chen Sheng gathered five million refugees, and no city could withstand the overwhelming force wherever he passed.

When millions of people attack a city, even millions of ants can kill an elephant. Chen Sheng led countless refugees to serve as cannon fodder, piling up cannon fodder wherever he went. Those cities were unable to resist at all.

Even the refugees who could no longer survive in the city took the initiative to open the door and accept surrender. For a time, Chen Sheng became so powerful that he directly overthrew the Dayu Kingdom.

Sparrowhawks soared in the sky in the capital of Dayu. Cui Yu discovered that there were more and more people dying of hunger on the streets, and there were countless refugees densely packed outside the capital of Dayu. Countless people could not survive.

Even in the capital of Dayu Kingdom, there were refugees who had sneaked in at some point. Even though the guards in the city drove them away, they could not be driven away completely.

"Boy, something big is going on. I'm afraid the Great Yu Kingdom will not be saved, and your plan will go bankrupt." At this moment, Xin Yuan emerged from Cui Yu's shadow, his voice showing a rare solemnity.

"Huh?" Cui Yu raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong? Can this day be reversed?"
