Liu Yong actually chose the first option, which was beyond Du Wu's expectation. He remembered that Liu Yong had advised him back then that even if he could not recruit people like Chu Jun, he should not offend him, and he should not become an enemy even if he could not become a friend. Even before executing the storm plan, Liu Yong had advised himself to think twice, but why did he choose to confront Chu Jun head-on now
"What's the reason?" Du Wu asked a little unnaturally.
To be honest, she is really a little frightened now. Back then, Chu Jun could kill King Bingyun in his military camp, he could also kill King Leiyu surrounded by many masters, and even killed him in the moon of the Du family. Du Zhenwei showed how terrifying this guy was, and this time he returned safely under the hands of the Ghost King. Du Wu even suspected that he had killed the Ghost King. Chu Jun can do this, but there is no guarantee that he will not be able to take his own life in the formation of a hundred thousand Chongming troops.
Liu Yong is a smart man. If he had a choice, he would naturally not want to be an enemy of Chu Jun. But things have reached this point and there is obviously no turning back. If before the storm plan is implemented, there is still room for maneuver between the Chu army and the Chongming army. Room, and now... impossible.
"While the Chu army is tired now, our Chongming army is waiting for work, and we have a good chance of winning!" Liu Yong gave a very common reason. In fact, Liu Yong wanted to say that the Chongming Army had a greater chance of winning when the ghost tribe retreated, but the time had passed and it was useless to say more. At that time, he persuaded Du Wu to attack, but Du Wu's hesitation made this golden opportunity missed. .
"Liu Qing's words are wrong. The Chu army has the power of a great victory, and its morale is at its peak. In addition, the combined number of Zhennan Banner and Yudong Banner is no less than 150,000. Their strength is still in our Tanwei City. There are more than 20,000 Chongming troops. A decisive battle with the Chu army at this time will undoubtedly be an egg against a stone. Can't you see clearly?" Zhao Gai objected.
Dao Zhengming once gave Zhao Gai an evaluation, saying that although he was a little smart, he was selfish and narrow-minded, not as good as Fang Xuanming, which was indeed very pertinent. Liu Yong has been sitting firmly in the position of Chief Minister of Tiance Palace and is deeply trusted by Du Wu. Zhao Gai has long been unconvinced. The storm plan failed. If anyone is secretly happy, the first one is naturally Zhao Gai. It was the best time to attack Liu Yong, so he would not let it go. Even if there was no reason, he would make up some reasons to object, not to mention that the reasons were quite sufficient.
"Can't you see clearly, Sir?"
Zhao Gai's last words were heart-breaking. On the surface, he sounded like he was discussing, but in reality, he was heart-breaking. He also insulted Liu Yong. The subtext was: With your wisdom, Liu Yong, how could you not see clearly? If you see After all, why do you still encourage the palace master to hit the stone with an egg? Are you uneasy and kind-hearted
Du Wu couldn't help but look at Liu Yong strangely. It wasn't that she really suspected Liu Yong of betraying, but there was a precedent for Youdao Zhengming. At this time, Zhao Gai's insinuations made her a little worried, not to mention that Zhao Gai's reasons were more sufficient. It was more in line with what she had in mind.
Although Liu Yong was generous, he actually looked down on Zhao Gai's character in his heart, so he ignored Zhao Gai's insinuations. The strange look in Du Wu's eyes suddenly made him feel cold, and he simply kept silent.
Seeing that Liu Yong didn't argue, Du Wu frowned imperceptibly and turned to ask for other people's opinions. The people present were all human beings, and they noticed that His Royal Highness the Palace Master, who had always obeyed Liu Yongyan, seemed to disagree this time, so some smooth guys all said that returning to Chongmingzhou was the best solution, especially those who wore the same pants as Zhao Gai. He was talking about some powerful relationships, which was nothing more than persuading Du Wu to choose the second option.
"I think sending troops to fight the Chu army at this time is the right choice!" Hou Xin said solemnly.
As soon as these words came out, both parties in the debate stopped. The golden warrior Hou Xin's words carried a lot of weight, and everyone had to give some face.
Hou Xin glanced majestically and continued: "The Chu army is exhausted after a long battle. This is the best time to defeat them. If we wait for them to recover, it will be even more difficult to deal with them."
Hou Xin is a golden general, so he naturally has his pride and confidence. In his opinion, there is no difference between 120,000 and 150,000. Neither Yang Yun nor Ding Qing in the Chu army can be his opponent in a head-on battle.
Zhao Gai said cautiously: "General Hou, I know that your nephew's incident has dealt a heavy blow to you, but we must put the overall situation first and not act on impulse!"
Hou Xin suddenly changed his color and shouted: "Fart, I am doing this with the overall situation in mind. I think how much blood and sweat our Chongming Army soldiers have put in to occupy Xingchen Continent, how can we give it away to others so easily. I am facing hundreds of thousands of ghost tribes. How can he be afraid of the Chu army without even frowning? If the Chongming army retreats without a fight, it will be the most ridiculous thing in the world! "
Hou Xin is called the Stone Buddha, precisely because he is a calm and majestic man, unshakable by all the winds. Now Zhao Gai actually said in public that he was acting on impulse, how could he not be angry? In terms of military matters, Zhao Gai's qualifications are a good thing for him. The shoes don't even match.
Hou Xin had a very high prestige in the army. Even when Du Zhenwei was alive, he had to pay three respects to him. At this time, he glared angrily and looked majestic. Zhao Gai immediately withered and apologized: "General Hou, please calm down. I made a mistake." !”
Hou Xin snorted coldly and was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore. He looked at Du Wu and said solemnly: "Your Highness, the huge Xingchen Continent was bought with the lives of our Chongming Army soldiers. How can we give it to Chu Jun?" , doesn’t this chill the hearts of the brothers below?”
Du Wu was naturally unwilling to give up the country he had worked so hard to build. He hesitated and said, "Let me think about this matter again!"
Liu Yong sighed secretly, lowered his head and drank tea silently without saying a word. Zhao Gai's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement.
…
…
More than 100,000 troops from Yudong Banner and Zhennan Banner entered Beidou City in a mighty manner and immediately rebuilt the city defenses.
In the main hall of the city lord's mansion.
Yang Yun said with admiration: "As the Taoist military advisor expected, Du Wu did not send troops to intercept us halfway."
Before returning to Yuerdao, everyone was a little worried about Du Wuwu intercepting him halfway, or simply capturing Beidou City and waiting for him. However, Dao Zhengming firmly said that Du Wu would not do it. Now it is as Dao Zhengming said.
Lu Xun asked curiously: "How can the Taoist military advisor predict that Du Wu will not do it?"
"Actually, the best time for the Chongming Army to attack is when we defeat the Ghost Army. Since Du Wu missed this opportunity, it is unlikely that he will send troops again."
Li Xiangjun smiled charmingly and said: "With Liu Yong's scheming attitude, how could he not see the best time? It seems that Du Wu did not adopt his suggestion!"
Dao Zhengming glanced at Li Xiangjun approvingly and said with a smile: "Actually, it's a good time for us to return!"
"But Du Wu still didn't send troops, which shows that she is no longer so obedient to Liu Yong." Li Xiangjun continued.
Chu Jun raised his eyebrows slightly. The conspiracy of the Chongming Army this time was really terrible. I heard from Ding Qing that Daming Mansion and Junshan were both attacked. It can be seen that Du Wu took great pains to eliminate himself and did everything possible to kill him. , and this grand conspiracy is definitely the work of Liu Yong himself. If this person is not eliminated, it will be extremely harmful. No one knows what plan he will come up with next.
"It would be a good thing if this is the case!" Ding Qing continued Li Xiangjun's words: "Du Wu has the support of Hou Xin and Liu Yong. It will not be easy to defeat her. If she no longer trusts Liu Yong, she will undoubtedly destroy her foundation."
Although they were enemies, everyone present recognized Liu Yong's intelligence.
"Report!" Yun Xuan ran in from outside, glanced at all the "big men" present with his clever eyes, and saluted Chu Jun.
Chu Jun smiled and said: "Yun Xiaoji, did you find a treasure? Your big white teeth are showing!"
Yun Xuan bared his teeth and said with a smile: "Returning to King Chu is even more satisfying than picking up a treasure!"
Zhou Haitao's face darkened and he scolded: "Repay seriously!"
Yun Xuan quickly said loudly and solemnly: "The Chongming army in Tanwei City abandoned the city and retreated, and the Chongming army in nearby cities also abandoned the city to join Du Wu's main force."
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other in astonishment. It was such a good thing. Du Wu gathered his troops and retreated, taking the initiative to give up all the occupied city squares.
"Hmph, now I know I'm afraid!" Ding Ding wiped his nose proudly.
"Explore again, pay close attention to the movements of the main force of the Chongming Army, and report back at any time!" Zhou Haitao waved.
"Yes!" Yun Xiaoxiao ran out with a smile.
Chu Jun glanced at everyone and said, "What is Du Wu's plan? With her character, it is impossible for her to spit out what she has eaten so easily."
"Would you...want to withdraw to Chongming Continent?" Zhonghua interjected.
Everyone immediately looked at each other. This seems impossible. Does Du Wu have such courage to give up the entire Star Continent
…
…
The night was as dark as ink, and the light from the Tianshu City defense array illuminated the nearby night sky as bright as day. Outside the east city gate was a continuous line of Chongming military tents. In front of the main tent, a large flag was embroidered with the word "Sun". Sun Mou, one of the Four King Kongs, led 30,000 elite Chongming troops and forced the main force of the Star Blue Army to huddle in Tiansuan City.
Tonight seemed a bit unusual. None of the Chongming troops in the camp had any rest or sleep. They were all waiting for the day. In the main tent, Sun Mou sat solemnly, with two rows of soldiers standing on both sides. The atmosphere was tense and tense.
At this moment, a soldier rushed in from outside the tent and shouted: "General, the palace master has an urgent order!"
Sun Mou quickly took the Gui Slip presented by his own soldiers and took a look at it. His face suddenly fell, and he frowned and said, "I order everyone to prepare to retreat. No noise or dismantling of tents. Anyone who violates this rule will be executed immediately!"
All the soldiers took a breath of cold air. Aren't they going to raid Tiansuan City tonight with the cooperation of internal agents and eliminate the Star Blue Army? Why did he retreat so suddenly and so furtively
Seeing Sun Mou's cold expression, everyone did not dare to ask any more questions and hurriedly went down to deliver the order.
Thirty thousand Chongming troops quietly left the camp, in groups of ten and groups of a hundred, and secretly withdrew in batches, leaving only a continuous empty camp.
In Tianshuang City, a group of men in black were quietly sneaking towards the city guard department, where the activation switch for the city's protective array was.
