Zhao Nianci opened his mouth, but was speechless for a while.
In the end, she still couldn't hold back her self-esteem, and said a word through her teeth: "Do you think that all the generals in the world are afraid of you?"
Shangguan Qingcheng didn't even raise his eyebrows, and said calmly: "Within the four seas, no matter whether it is a leading general or an ordinary soldier, as long as they are not stupid, as long as they are not arrogant to the limit, when they hear the words Shangguan Qingcheng and Spike Army, There's no reason not to be afraid."

Zhao Nianci: "..."
She really wanted to ridicule and laugh at the other party, but she couldn't get the words out of her mouth.
The army under King An's command is not invincible in every battle. Even the Pinglu Army has encountered tough bones that cannot be bitten.
But Shangguan Qingcheng and Spike Army have not been defeated so far.
Every seemingly formidable and invincible opponent eventually became the background board for them to create miracles.
...
Zhao Nianci took a deep breath, but the humiliation in her heart could not be dispelled. She asked word by word: "So you think that Sun Ru will abandon Dangshan and retreat to Xiao County? Or even Xuzhou?"
Shangguan Qingcheng finally raised his head, but just glanced at Zhao Nianci strangely, without speaking.
When Zhao Nianci got a little impatient waiting, Shangguan Qingcheng said slowly: "Now I finally understand why you were defeated by Sun Ru."
"You!" Zhao Nianci's face sank like water, his teeth were clenched, "Shang, Guan, Qing, Cheng!"
Shangguan Qingcheng raised her hand, signaling to the other party that there is no need to explain or argue, and she continued: "Have you ever thought about why you were defeated in Surabaya?"
Zhao Nianci said coldly, "What do you mean?"
Shangguan Qingcheng said: "You lost because you didn't notice a fact from the beginning to the end: Sun Ru presided over the war, never asking for the defense of the city, so that our army can't take the territory from him."
"Then what is he asking for?"
"Greater military achievements. For example, annihilating the invading enemy; or even turning the defense into an offense, advancing the front line, and turning the entire battle situation with a partial victory!"
Zhao Nianci's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it: "Wu's army is only 700,000 or 800,000, and Huaibei's territory is no more than Wuning. In the face of three times the encirclement of enemies, it's good to be able to hold the city, but they want to seize the territory instead?! "
Shangguan Qingcheng shook his head: "So, in the final analysis, you don't know your opponent at all. Even if you have fought against each other for a while."
"You know it? Why do you know him so well?! You haven't even seen his face!"
"Why? It's very simple, because I am a general of King An's department."
"you... ... "
Shangguan Qingcheng raised his hand again, interrupting what the other party wanted to say, because he didn't want to continue this meaningless topic with Zhao Nianci.
She is destined not to tell Zhao Nianci, because she is a general of King An, so she can get detailed information about Tsingyi Yamen; Qingyi Yamen's understanding of the princes of the world is far beyond the imagination of outsiders.
Li Maozhen thought that he would be able to compete with Tsingyi Yamen by setting up Huanyinfang, an intelligence and assassination agency, but that was nothing more than wishful thinking and learning in Handan.
Before leaving Songzhou, Shangguan Qingcheng knew Sun Ru well. Just now I asked about Zhao Nianci's situation, just to get news from different angles. It's a pity that she found that Zhao Nianci couldn't provide more useful things.
Shangguan Qingcheng stood up, ready to end the conversation.
However, Zhao Nianci was too suspicious and unwilling to give up. She asked: "Since Sun Ru is afraid of you and the Spike Army, and knows that he cannot be defeated head-on, why didn't he retreat? Retreat to Xiao County, or even further away, and he will be able to fight back." Stretching the battle line, there is a chance to repeat the old tricks, and cut off my food channel through the navy! Wu Jun Navy, I can’t solve it, and you are the same! Even if we don’t transport food through Surabaya anymore, once they go upstream and choose a place to land , can still harass our army!"
Shangguan Qingcheng glanced at Zhao Nianci without explaining.
Zhao Nianci was startled when he met Shangguan Qingcheng's eyes.
Of course, Shangguan Qingcheng could think of the problems she could think of, so she would not fail to deal with them.
The problems she couldn't solve didn't mean that Shangguan Qingcheng couldn't solve them—this was something Zhao Nianci couldn't admit and accept. She clenched her fists and asked, "Then tell me, how will Sun Ru act? How will you capture Dangshan?"
Shangguan Qingcheng walked towards his horse, without turning his head, and said: "As I said before, Sun Ru's main battle is to annihilate the opponent, and he and his trilogy must be very afraid of me. Whether it is sticking to Dangshan, or Back to Xuzhou, he is not absolutely sure of winning. This is a contradiction, and there is only one way to solve this contradiction."
"what way?"
"The best organization, leave Dangshan, carry out a surprise attack while I am marching, or set up an ambush on the road."
"Is this useful?"
"Of course it works. Only by winning can the fear in his heart be resolved. As long as he can win this game, at least his parts will no longer be afraid of me and the Spike Army. Only in this way will he be able to compete for victory in the future."
"How do you deal with it? Show the enemy weak, attract the enemy to continue to attack, lure the enemy to go deep, and look for opportunities to gather and annihilate the opponent? Just... like he did to me?"
Shangguan Qingcheng did not answer.
...
In the wild, beside the forest, Sun Ru was feeding his war horse.
Behind the forest beside him, there are a large number of soldiers and horses on standby.
From time to time, masters in the real world sneaked down from the barren hills and reported the military situation to Sun Ru: "In another hour, Shangguan Qingcheng's former army will enter our army's ambush zone."
Sun Ru nodded, "Please check again."
Zhenrenjing cupped his fists, turned around and flew away.
Let the real person do the sentry, Sun Ru's skill is not insignificant. Originally, he didn't have this authority, but after defeating Zhao Nianci, he received a high reward, not to mention his official position was greatly promoted, and the power of monks assigned to him was not what it used to be.
After the real monk left, the nervous and excited lieutenant next to Sun Ru asked loudly, "General, will Shangguan Qingcheng fall into our ambush circle?"
Sun Ru said: "Maybe, maybe not."
"This..." The lieutenant general didn't expect to get such an unanswerable answer.
Sun Ru looked at the mountain pass in front, and said with distant eyes: "Didn't you always wonder why after I defeated Zhao Nianci, why didn't I take advantage of the victory and advance the front line?"
The deputy general didn't know why Sun Ru suddenly said this, but he replied cooperatively: "Yes. The general said that if we can advance the front line and form a threat to Songzhou, we can mobilize all the bandits on the Song and Bo lines. At that time, Yingzhou in the southern part of the bandit army will be empty, and General Yang Xingmi will be able to attack westward from Suzhou.
"If this is the case, as the battlefield extends outwards, the entire battle situation in which our army passively defends in a corner of Wuning will be reversed, and more space for using troops will be gained. But the general did not choose this way."
Sun Ru sighed, and said slowly: "My Confucian disciples seek to govern the country and the world, so if you want to be a good talent, you must first have a broad mind. On the battlefield, whether it is strategic choice or military method , must focus on the overall situation. Before this general, he did not care about the gains and losses of a city or a place, and all his actions were only to create opportunities to gather and annihilate the enemy, because only in this way can the entire battle situation be beneficial."
Having said that, he paused.
"Our army threatens Songzhou. This is an inevitable goal, and once there is such an opportunity, the King of Wu will definitely send reinforcements. But to attack Songzhou, the timing must be right. It does not play a containment effect, but enters the tiger's mouth and kills itself."
Hearing what Sun Ru said, the lieutenant seemed to realize something: "The time was not up before? How about now?"
"As long as we can defeat Shangguan Qingcheng, the opportunity will come."
"Because Shangguan Qingcheng is the number one general of the bandit army?"
"Not only that. If Shangguan Qingcheng can be defeated, many bandit troops will be beheaded in this battle, which will greatly weaken the strength of the bandit army. At the same time, Zhao Nianci and Shangguan Qingcheng will be defeated one after another. It will definitely make the bandit army frightened. At that time, their strength will be counted." They are still more than us, and they are just a group of sheep without fighting spirit, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Once we threaten Songzhou, the situation will change drastically!"
There was some kind of dazzling light in Sun Ru's eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Also, the king of Wu still has actions in the Central Plains. As long as our war here goes smoothly, the plan over there will start, and that will give the bandits a heartfelt confidence." Fatal blow!"
"King Wu still has plans in the Central Plains?"
Sun Ru nodded, but didn't say much.
The deputy general pondered for a moment, suppressed his curiosity about the Central Plains plan, and asked instead: "General, I heard that Shangguan Qingcheng... is both wise and brave, and the Spike Army is invincible. Brother, if we set up an ambush here, will she be aware of it in advance?"
Sun Ru was silent for a moment, "Maybe, maybe not."
Lieutenant General: "..."
Sun Ru smiled, "Although there are many great monks under King An's command, King An is no longer in the mortal world. The monks who are above the Daoist Realm are the top power in the world, and they can be at ease wherever they go, and most of them are pursuing immortality. Ascension may not necessarily obey the orders of Shangguan Qingcheng, let alone be willing to be driven by her to be a sentry; and monks below the real world, if they want to explore the way, they will be slaughtered by our real people."
The lieutenant general nodded his head in agreement.
Sun Ru changed the subject and said again: "Actually, even if Shangguan Qingcheng finds out about our ambush, it's not a big deal. The key is how she will deal with it."
The lieutenant general was startled, "Of course it's a withdrawal, or would you die?"
Sun Ru shook his head, "You don't understand Shangguan Qingcheng. For her, Dangshan County must be conquered, and now I have an army of 170,000, and she is not like Zhao Nianci, who has so many generals under her command. With extraordinary power, it is not easy to break through the city. The most effective way to win is to attract our army to fight in the open field."
The lieutenant was at a loss: "What does the general mean?"
Sun Ru's eyes gradually became sharper: "Let the front army lie in ambush, then pretend to be defeated, attract our army to pursue, and finally fight back... just like my strategy against Zhao Nianci. If we can kill tens of thousands of our army in the wild , Dangshan County will be much easier to attack.”
The lieutenant general was surprised: "Will she choose this way?"
After thinking about it, the deputy general realized something, "Since the general expected this, if she chooses this way, she is doomed to only damage the former army for nothing."
Sun Ru sighed again: "Shangguan Qingcheng is the most trusted confidant of King An in the past. Whether it is military strategy or resourcefulness, he has won the true teaching of King An. He really cannot be underestimated and difficult to deal with."
The lieutenant thought for a while, "But as long as she wants to win this battle, she has to do something, just like the general."
Sun Ru looked at the mountain pass, and worries gradually appeared in his eyes, "What I am most worried about now is that she will directly kill her without any tricks."
The lieutenant general said: "In that case, it doesn't mean that no one can take advantage of it? Of course we can't win the battle, but she is not sure about capturing Dangshan either!"
Sun Ru pondered: "Maybe, she has a strategy that I didn't think of?"
Immediately he shook his head: "There shouldn't be any..."
Nearly an hour later, the sentry reported that Shangguan Qingcheng's former army was about to step into the Wu army's ambush area.
