Chapter 139 Chapter Ten Strategizing

Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling jumped on a big tree that towered out of the forest one after the other, and looked around. There were long dragons of torches in all directions, completely blocking the escape route. Xu Ziling sighed: "If it weren't for the heavy spring fog at night, we just need to set a fire to create some chaos, maybe we can take the opportunity to escape." Ba Feng snorted coldly: "Even though we fought to the death, but Kou Zhong and Shu Ni can leave successfully, there is no regret." Xu Ziling said in shock: "If I hadn't heard these words from brother Fenghan's mouth, I really can't believe that brother Fenghan is such a hero who never hesitates and sees death as home."

Ba Fenghan smiled wryly and said: "No hesitation is just a beautiful word, and death is still a little bit close. I just never regret the decision I made, as long as I do whatever I want. You two boys are so affectionate and righteous to me, I'm not a cowardly and despicable person, now I only hope that Zhong Shao can kill Li Mi to avenge us in the future." Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "No! I definitely can't let Li Mi kill you. Hey! If we can transform ourselves into two of Li Mi's subordinates, will the chance of escape be greatly increased?" Ba Fenghan frowned and said, "Do you want to catch two people and change their clothes, but the Wagang Army is well-known and well-organized, there is a regiment under the regiment, there is a battalion under the regiment, and there are several small teams under the battalion, each with its own leader , plus we can change our shirts but not our faces, it will only make people laugh!"

Xu Ziling took out a mask from his bosom, handed it to Ba Fenghan, and said, "This is the posthumous work of Mr. Lu Miaozi, the most skilled craftsman in the world. Let's change the face first, and then try to change the clothes." After speaking, he put on another mask, and immediately became a scar-faced hero who had fought against the four bandits. Ba Fenghan was amazed to see it, and with Xu Ziling's assistance, he put on a mask and transformed himself into a strong young man with sunken eyes, thin lips and a bulging chin. Ba Fenghan cheered up and said: "This is very different! Come on! Let's cut some branches to make hidden weapons first, come with me!"

Kou Zhong, with Dong Shuni on his back, galloped wildly through the mountains and fields. After skimming out of a dense forest, he ran up to the top of a small hill and saw Luoshui lying in front of him, and on the other side there was a big city with bright lights. Kou Zhong laughed and said, "It's finally here!" He stopped walking. Dong Shuni reluctantly left his generous and warm tiger back, saw Kou Zhongxiong standing like a mountain, staring at the Yanshi City standing five miles away on the plain with twinkling eyes, she had an incomparably intimidating aura, she was fascinated for a while Trembling, the little bird snuggled into his arms and said in a low voice: "You must not tell anyone about us! If uncle finds out, he will definitely kill you."

Kou Zhong glanced down at this touching beauty, and couldn't help recalling what happened just now in his mind.I thought this would be the best.Otherwise, if Dong Shuni forced him to propose marriage to Wang Shichong because she had a physical relationship with her, she would not be fired. Dong Shuni slightly annoyed: "Why don't you speak, are you not happy with her anymore!" Kou Zhong felt a big headache, he put his arms around her slender waist, pressed her to his chest, kissed her deeply, and said with a smile: "Then can we still learn from what we did just now?"

Dong Shuni smiled and said: "It's up to me to decide, if there is a chance, people will come to you." Kou Zhong can be sure that he is not her first man, because Dong Shuni is more familiar with that matter than him. Although it is undeniable that she is better than Yun Yuzhen in all aspects, but also like Yun Yuzhen, he will only have the mentality of taking advantage of the situation, and will never act rashly. What's more, there are so many important and urgent things waiting for him to do. Along the way, he spent most of his time thinking about the safety of Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan, and a little time thinking about how to use Wang Shichong to deal with Li Mi, but he never thought about carrying that beautiful body on his back, let alone with her. the future.

Dong Shuni yanked his hand and said, "Go!" The two rushed down the hill and headed towards Luoshui. Li Mi stood at the top of the slope, watching with furrowed brows as his subordinates surrounded the two-mile wide dense forest in the target, and then dozens of experts headed by Fu Zhen and Fu Yan searched for it, but it took half an hour. It passed, and there was still no movement. Uncle Wang on the left said fiercely: "This is impossible. How could the fragrance of that girl suddenly disappear." There are more than ten generals behind Li Mi, but no one can answer this question.

Shen Luoyan on the right had beautiful eyes and said softly: "I have a very inappropriate feeling, logically they should be hard to fly." Li Mi sighed: "If there is such a thing as reasonable or unreasonable, the two little thieves Kou Xu should have died dozens of times, but they can always escape from danger, which is really incomprehensible." Wang Bodang said in a deep voice: "If they really succeed in sending Dong Shuni to Yanshi, what should we do?" Li Mi's eyes lit up with a cold light, and he said slowly, "The best way is to attack Yanshi immediately and contain Wang Shichong, making it difficult for him to return to Luoyang and deal with the Dugu Clan and King Yue. But this will destroy us. The whole strategy, and because of our battle with Yu Wenhua, we have suffered heavy losses and our vitality has not recovered, so it is still better to defend than to attack, so we have to find another way."

Then he asked Shen Luoyan: "What suggestion does Luoyan have?" Shen Luoyan said: "Another countermeasure is to secretly send masters into Luoyang, instigate Dugu Peak to wipe out Wang Shichong's influence in Luoyang, and teach Wang Shichong to be alone in the city, with no backup. At that time, we want to take Wang Shichong's head, as easy as picking something out of a pocket gone." Wang Bodang frowned and said: "Wang Shichong's influence is deeply rooted in Luoyang. It may not be easy to uproot him. It must be properly arranged." Li Mi said decisively: "Whether this plan succeeds or fails, it will only benefit us and not harm it. The more chaos in Luoyang, the better. It is best for the Dugu Clan and the Royal Party to fight for both losses. That would be even more ideal."

Turning to Shen Luoyan, he said, "We have to compete with time. If Wang Shichong is allowed to activate first, the damage he will suffer will be less. Does Luoyan understand the serious relationship?" Shen Luoyan nodded and said: "Don't worry, Mi Gong, let Luo Yan handle this matter! I will definitely live up to Mi Gong's entrustment." Li Mi ordered: "This matter is mainly about Luoyan, and Bodang is the deputy. We must also invite the Nanhai Xianweng to guide us to strengthen our strength. The rest of the staff will be allocated. You can see how it is done!"

When everyone heard the name of the Immortal of the South Sea, they all showed respect and fear. It turns out that Nanhai Xianweng Huang Gongcuo is a master of Naining Daoqi's generation and is a master-level figure. Mei Xun, the head of the Nanhai School who is currently located in Zhuya County, Nanhai, is only his disciple and grandchild. It is rumored that Ning Daoqi once had a decisive battle with Huang Gongcuo in the Leizhou Peninsula, and Huang Gongcuo was defeated by Ning Daoqi's bottom-pressing stunt "Sanshou Bapu" after a hundred moves, which can be said to be an honorable defeat.Here we can see the brilliance of "Nanhai Immortal" Huang Gongcuo. Because Li Mi's father, Li Kuan, had been kind to the Nanhai faction, after Li Mi raised his troops, he sent special envoys to ask Huang Gongcuo to leave the mountain, but Huang Gongcuo did not agree until Emperor Yangdi was killed by Yu Wenhuaji. nod.He also promised that the Nanhai faction would try its best to help Li Mi take over the world, of course with strict conditions. Wang Bodang and Shen Luoyan took orders in unison. At this moment, the torches guarding the south of the dense forest were extinguished one after another, and the sound of screams was endless. Instead of being angry, Li Mi was overjoyed, and led his men to gallop away. Surrounded by the generals defending the city, Kou Zhong and Dong Shuni rode into Wang Shichong's Zheng Guogong's mansion in Yanshi. Dong Shuni seemed to have turned into another person, she suppressed her smile, her expression was solemn, and she looked holy and inviolable. Just entering the gate of the mansion, Wang Shichong has already heard the news and greeted him out of the gate with the support of more than a dozen personal soldiers. Dong Shuni flew off the horse and threw herself into Wang Shichong's arms crying. Wang Shichong is still in good spirits, but with mottled temples and a few more gray hairs. He hugged Dong Shuni affectionately, and said repeatedly: "Little Nini, don't cry! Everything is decided by the big uncle, what happened?" While talking, he looked at Kou Zhong, his eyes immediately became extremely sharp. Kou Zhong slammed off his horse, Shi Li smiled and said: "In the future, success or failure depends on Master Shangshu's thought!" Wang Shichong was stunned and said in displeasure, "If you want to scare me, don't blame me!" Dong Shuni interrupted him and said angrily: "Uncle! He is a good person, without him, what happened to Xiao Nini would be unimaginable." Kou Zhong respectfully said: "Whether Wang Shangshu can take a step to speak, this matter must be decided immediately, otherwise even if the grandson is reborn and Marquis Wu is reborn, it will not be able to recover from the defeat that has already been done." Wang Shichong yelled, "Kou Zhong!" Kou Zhong bowed and said, "Kou Zhong is here!" After Wang Shichong stared at him for a while, he snorted coldly, "Follow me! But don't play tricks in front of me." Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling rushed for more than 50 miles in one breath, until they reached the lower reaches of the big river in Luoyang. They couldn't hold on any longer, and fell to the bank one after another. In front of them was the rolling Yellow River. The lights of Luoyang in the distance illuminate the horizon. After many hardships, they were finally out of danger. Ba Fenghan laughed and said: "Good boy! You really are there. Uncle Wang looked at us face to face, but still didn't know who we were. He even ordered us to intercept us. Fortunately, at that time I can hold back my laughter, but I don’t know how hard it is.” Xu Ziling shook his head and sighed: "Li Mi is so laborious, but he can't even touch the tails of our shirts. If he speaks out, he will surely make the world smile." Ba Fenghan tried his best to get up, and said: "There is still a little time before the sky, we'd better recharge our batteries, and then go into the city with a fake face to drink some hot tea. I have a few old acquaintances in Luoyang, and I promise to greet you thoughtfully." .” Xu Ziling sat up straight with difficulty and said, "I wonder if Kou Zhong can convince Wang Shichong?" Ba Fenghan took a deep breath, regained his composure, and said with a smile: "Wang Shichong is just a tiger disguised as a man, while Kou Zhong is a man disguised as a tiger. The victory and defeat are already clear, why should Ziling be worried?" Secret room. Dong Shuni told the whole thing in one breath, but Wang Shichong's expression changed at least a dozen times. After pondering for a while, Wang Shichong said in a deep voice, "Shuni, go and have a good rest, uncle has his own opinion." Dong Shuni still wanted to act coquettishly, but seeing Wang Shichong's serious expression and a cloudy face, she didn't dare to say much, so she glanced at Kou Zhong who was sitting opposite, and obediently went. The door closes. In the huge secret room, only Wang Shichong and Kou Zhong were left. Kou Zhong was surprisingly silent. He hasn't said a word since entering the secret room. Wang Shichong pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "I, Wang Shichong, are very grateful that you are willing to risk your life to save Xiao Nini. Tell me your request!" Knowing that he doesn't trust him, Kou Zhong smiled lightly and said, "My request is to bring down Li Mi." Wang Shichong stared at him in astonishment for a long while, then frowned and said, "Now I have internal and external troubles, and I am always under the enemy. I am afraid it will be difficult for you to fulfill your wish." Kou Zhong said with confidence: "Wang Shangshu's words are wrong. The fact is that there has never been a better moment like the present, which can give you a chance to crush the Wagang Army." Wang Shichong said displeased: "I hate people to threaten you the most in my life. I, Wang Shichong, have never seen any scenes. How can I listen to others." Kou Zhong calmly said: "What is the purpose of Wang Shangshu sending troops to Yanshi this time?" Wang Shichong's eyes flickered, and he said coldly: "It's time for this time, and time for that time. Now my top priority is to return to Luoyang and wipe out the traitors." Kou Zhong smiled and said, "And then?" Wang Shichong said proudly: "Of course, after Annei is settled, he will fight against the outside world. Li Mi and I are at odds with each other." Kou Zhong laughed and said: "Wang Shangshu sent troops this time because he saw that although Li Mi defeated Yu Wenhuaji, his vitality was seriously injured, so he took the opportunity to attack him painfully. Now he wants to make peace first, letting the opportunity slip away for nothing. Li Mi has a chance to recuperate, isn't it a big miscalculation?" Wang Shichong stared at him blankly for a long time, as if he knew him clearly for the first time, he said solemnly: "Does Brother Kou think that we should deal with Li Mi first, and then return to the teacher to deal with Yang Yu and Dugu Feng?" Kou Zhong shook his head and said, "That's not true. Even if there is nothing wrong with Dong Du, if Shang Shu rashly attacks Li Mi this time, he will definitely lose." Wang Shichong originally wanted to test whether Kou Zhong had ulterior motives and used himself to deal with his big enemy Li Mi, but now he was surprised to hear him say this, and asked humbly: "I would like to hear more about it." Kou Zhong then said what Li Mi said about Wang Shichong's troop dispatch this time, of course it was just like Kou Zhong's own speculation. Wang Shichong's face changed slightly, and he didn't speak for a while, obviously he was hit to the point. After a long while, Wang Shichong sighed: "I am originally from the Western Regions. Because I admire the culture of the Celestial Dynasty, I came to the Sui Dynasty with my father. Since I was a child, I like to read history books and learn the art of war. I worship the Minister of the Ministry of War, and I am quite respected by Yang Guang. The battle with Meng Rang made me famous all over the world. I thought that there is no one in the world who can beat me Wang Shichong with soldiers, but I didn't know that I met Li Thief and was restrained everywhere. If Brother Kou hadn't reminded me, this battle would have been defeated and never won. , then should I go back to Shidong Capital immediately?" Knowing that he was in chaos, Kou Zhong smiled and said, "As I said just now, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to defeat the Wagang Army. There are two reasons. The first is that Li Mi's vitality is seriously injured right now, and the soldiers will be tired. The second is that Li Mi is still in the victorious mentality that he just defeated Yu Wenhuaji, so he will inevitably underestimate your enemy." After a pause, he said solemnly: "Don't be afraid to offend me. In terms of military strength, your side is really inferior to Li Mi, and you have been defeated repeatedly, which makes Li Mi despise you. So as long as Wang Shangshu shows the enemy's weakness and creates a clever situation, It attracted Li Mi to come out in full force, but we carefully planned and set up traps to ensure that Li Mi would fall into a big somersault and be unable to bully Dongdu from then on." Wang Shichong's heart was moved when he heard it, his doubts about Kou Zhong were greatly reduced, and his trust doubled. He asked, "How can we show the enemy weakness?" Kou Zhong said, "How many soldiers can Wang Shangshu have at hand?" Wang Shichong hesitated for a moment before making up his mind, and replied: "I only have 20,000 people with me this trip, but all of them are well-trained elites." Kou Zhong patted the table and said: "That's it. Sun Tzu said that soldiers are more expensive than elites. And because we have few soldiers, Li Mi's heart of underestimating the enemy will be strengthened. As long as he is misled into thinking that our food and grass are not sustainable, I will not believe in new ideas." The victorious Li Mi can bear not to lead his army to drown in battle." Wang Shichong shook his head and said: "He can wait until we are really short of food before attacking. This plan can deceive others, but it will never deceive the wily and calculating Li Mi." Kou Zhong smiled and said, "That's why I said that we need to create other delicate situations to force Li Mi to fight a tough battle." Wang Shichong asked in surprise: "The plan will be released?" Kou Zhongdao: "Things can be divided into two parts. First, we have to create a fake situation of lack of food, such as sending people around to search for food and grass, and then threatening to return to Shidong Capital. It would be strange if Li Mi didn't come to intercept." Then he leaned forward and said in a low voice: "On the other hand, we will repair with Dou Jiande, who is no less powerful than Li Mi in the north, and ask him to send troops to attack Li Mi. Of course! This move must be cleverly let Li Mi know, so don't worry about him. Take the initiative to attack." Although Wang Shichong was conceited about his general talent, he couldn't help but praise the case and said: "It's a clever plan, but the details still need to be considered." Immediately, sharp rays of light shot out from both eyes, staring at Kou Zhong and saying: "Everyone knows that you, Kou Zhong, are ambitious and turned the south upside down. What is the purpose of helping me now?" Kou Zhong met his gaze calmly, and said calmly: "Because if I don't kill Li Mi, Li Mi will kill me. I don't care whoever becomes the emperor, as long as it's not Li Mi. Is Wang Shangshu satisfied with my answer?" Wang Shichong said in a deep voice: "You are indeed a rare talent. If you are willing to surrender to me, I, Wang Shichong, will definitely not treat you poorly." Kou Zhong said happily: "Thank you, Wang Shangshu, for your support. But everything still needs to be destroyed. Although it is important to deal with Li Mi, the Eastern Capital must be firmly in our hands. As long as we can last until Li Mi sends troops, we will attack The palace of the King of Yue, uproot all those who oppose you, then Wang Shangshu will be able to take the throne of the King of Yue. And at least half of the world is in your pocket!" These words went straight to Wang Shichong's heart, making him forget that Kou Zhong didn't show his allegiance immediately, and he said happily: "Dugufeng has a strength that cannot be ignored in Luoyang. If I am not in Luoyang, I am afraid it will be difficult to suppress the overall situation." Kou Zhong smiled and said: "This is a key part of showing the enemy weak. Shang Shu might as well go back to Luoyang with a small army and cavalry to settle the situation in Luoyang, and then play by ear. As long as Li Mi makes any changes, Shang Shu will sneak back immediately Presiding over the overall situation, wouldn’t that be it?” Wang Shichong was stunned for a long time, he let out a long breath, shook his head and said with a smile: "Besides this, do I have a better choice?"
