Chapter 25 Letters

Huaixiacheng, originally in the inner city, is in a house.

The crossbows on the Huai River outside the city were still howling. No matter the army led by the Wu family or the Shang family, they all hid under the city walls, or outside the range of the crossbows.

At this time, the two supreme commanders of the army met in this small room.

"Doctor Shang is polite." Wu Dingguo greeted Shangwen with a smile on his face. From time to time, he looked at Wu Fengqi, who was holding casually in a coma. He thought about the words of Wu's samurai when he came, and couldn't help but think.

"General Wu." Shang Wen bowed his hand and said straight: "This doctor's intention has been conveyed by the samurai of the noble family just now, but I don't know what the general thinks?"

Wu Dingguo bowed and returned the favor, saying, "Doctor Shang is willing to grant Ying a title to Wu Fengqi, one of the country's kingdoms. This general is very moved by such a great benefit, and thanks to the doctor for his importance to me Wu."

Hearing this, Shang Wen laughed and thought Wu Dingguo had agreed, but he didn't expect Wu Dingguo to change the tone: "According to common sense, I, Wu, shouldn't refuse, but it's a pity that I, Wu, had already joined the monarch's command first, so I can only blame the doctor for his good wishes."

Shangwen smiled and frowned, "The general seemed to refuse. Do you think this is too little? If this is the case, what else can you ask? There are no outsiders here, so it's okay to just say it."

Wu Dingguo shook his head and said, "No, I reject the doctor's favor, but it's not because the interests are too small. Because my Wu family has joined the command of the king, at least when the Cai Duke is still there and has not treated me Wu, he must serve the king to the end."

"What's the reason?" Shang Wen smiled and said, "Can the so-called loyalty in this world be compared with the great fortune of a country? General Wu, why not consider it again? Such an opportunity is once a lifetime, and if you miss it, there will never be any more."

Wu Dingguo pondered a little and said, "What the general is not considering is loyalty or not, but considering the word "trust."

"Finance?" Shang Wen said in confusion.

Wu Dingguo nodded and said, "Doctor Shang, I, Wu, believe that all the relationship between people and people in the world, and even with God, lies in the word "faith".

"If everyone believes in a country, then there will be a country. If everyone believes in God, then there will be God. If you don't believe in it, then the country, God and all relationships between people cannot be maintained. This shows that this faith is the most important thing for people to establish themselves in the world. It can even be said that people do not have faith, but they will not be established."

"Doctor Shang, how could I, Wu, lose such an important thing?"

After a pause, he continued: "If I betray my faith today because of the so-called gift of a country, this is not only a breach of trust in the king, but also a breach of trust in the world. In the eyes of the doctor, it must be untrustworthy. If someone is allowed to instigate him, then the fate of Wu Fengqi is the lesson of my Wu family."

"On the contrary, if my Wu family holds the trust to the end, I will definitely gain more trust in the Cai State Office. In the future, even if the Cai State Office will not last for a day, with this trust, my Wu family's military strategists can do it, then the major powers in the world will be willing to accept and use it."

Shang Wen heard this, nodded slightly, and bowed and said, "The general's words are the most reasonable. Shang Wen is very educated, but since the general insists on the word "trust", why do you still come to see me?"

Wu Dingguodao: "Of course, it was because of this unfavorable battle situation. The doctors also saw the power of the Huai Shang Army. Even now, its powerful crossbow weapons are still constantly bombarding our city. If this continues, if we cannot find a way to deal with it, relying solely on this crossbow weapons, I will be destroyed by Huai's chariot."

"Once the Huaiyuan River is broken, the grain and grass logistics will be supplied by Dingyi, which will be supplied by Huaiyuan River, and at most, the food will be out of stock for one month."

"In this way, the Huaishan coalition forces could defeat the four thousand soldiers of our country Cai without any effort."

"Doctor Shang, if you were the Huaishan coalition forces, what would you do next? Can I still block his troops in Cai State?"

Thinking of the powerful battle formations of the Huai Shang Army and the invincible crossbows, Shang Wen could only sigh: "It cannot be stopped. The only way to deal with it at that time is to retreat, stretch the Huai Shang Front, making it difficult for it to supply food and grass. He also threatened the rear with an elite army and forced it to retreat. However, if this method is used, the Cai State may lose nearly 30% of the territory in the central and southern parts of the country."

Wu Dingguodao: "Most of the Shang family's territory lies in this."

Shangwen nodded, his face a little heavy. If he was defeated in this battle, he would definitely be hurt by his muscles and territory losses.

Wu Dingguo said again: "When at that time, all major families and doctors in the country will ask Doctor Shang to be responsible for this strategy of our Da Cai?"

Shang Wen raised his head suddenly and stared at Wu Dingguo: "What does General Wu mean?"

How smart he was, how could he not understand the meaning of Wu Ding's dialect? If Wu Ding's words were defeated in this battle, the Shang family and the landlord temple under his command would have to face the confrontation of the doctors of Cai's country and the officials, and would definitely not be spared.

How could the Shang family become the first family in Cai? Isn’t it because of the similar methods that overturned the two major families in the former country one after another and divided the territories with the families, so that the population was like this?

Wu Dingguodao: "This is not what I mean by Wu, but the inevitable result of the decline of the strength and power of the adults."

"What does General Wu think about this battle?" Shang Wen thought for a while, and finally nodded.

Wu Dingguo was telling the truth, but it was not just a threatening statement.

In today's world, it is not a year when rituals and music have not yet collapsed. There are tigers and wolves everywhere in the world. The strong can no longer care about their face and are in such a great struggle. If you cannot protect yourself because of your weakness, you cannot blame anyone, and you can only blame yourself for being too weak.

The Shang family was once the strength of Cai Guoqiang, occupying a large area of ​​territory and being the first family in the country. It is natural. Once the strength declines, it will become a mass of fat. Then, it will be a monarch's name, and no one in the entire Cai Kingdom wants to share it.

Wu Dingguo obviously had a good idea, and said without thinking: "I think if you want to win this battle, there is only one way, that is, your Shang family chariot will do its best to attack. My Wu family leads the national army to follow up, and launches a decisive battle with Huai Shang with its superior force, striving to win in one battle."

Shangwen smiled and asked directly: "This method may be victorious, but why should I, Shang, take the lead in attacking, but you can preserve your strength."

Wu Dingguo laughed and said, "Doctor Shang, you should know that our country's teachers cannot afford to lose."

"If you lose, the entire Cai State king will have the weight to speak? Therefore, if the doctor cannot agree to the main attack today, this battle will definitely fail. Since it will definitely fail, what is the point of staying at the national commander of the Wu family, the Qiancheng National Master, who is the commander of the king, will stay at Huaixia? We should seek other favorable names to evacuate soon."

"What do you think about this situation? It's easy for me to evacuate from a thousand soldiers. Under Huai, two thousand soldiers and other officials in Dingyi may block the commander of the coalition forces on Huai. The pursuit of this elite army of Mr. Snake Yu?"

Wu Dingguo spread his hands: "For his steady and ruthless military use and the speed of the advance of the Huai coalition forces, it is not surprising that the doctor even if the entire army was wiped out... It can be said that the national army led by the Wu family had a way out in this battle, and the doctor had no other way out except to win this battle."

Shang Wen considered it and felt that Wu Dingguo's words were facts and could not be refuted. His various strategies were also open-minded. Even if he understood that Wu and others wanted to use this battle to reduce Shang's strength, they would have to bear it. Otherwise, the consequences would be even worse. He continued to ask: "Can General Wu have any details of the decisive battle against the Huai coalition?"

Wu Dingguodao: "This battle should be scheduled for four days. During these four days, the lord must notify Dingyi to return to Huaixia and arrive at Huaixia and launch a decisive battle with us. After talking to the doctor, I should also report this matter with Ying, and then send a Wu military strategist to command the battle for the doctor."

Shang Wen thought carefully and sneered: "My Shang army is the main attacker, and you are also commanded by your Wu family. In this way, even if you can win this battle, my Shang family will definitely suffer a great loss. General Wu, you are really good at calculating."

Wu Dingguo shook his head and said, "Doctor Shang, except for Yong, the army of any country in the world will suffer a 10 to 30% loss on the front battlefield. Even if there is military tactics to suppress it, it can only increase by 20%.'

"So, if I want to win this battle, my Wu family will definitely not ask the officers and the army to retreat to the limit they can bear."

Shang Wen thought that according to the theory of Wu Dingguo, the Shang family's soldiers lost 20% or 30% in this battle, which is still within the acceptable range. The most important thing is that Wu Dingguo did not plot against his true body like Wu Fengqi, so he said: "I am willing to cooperate with General Wu's method."

Wu Dingguo smiled and said, "There is another thing, that is, I have to trouble the Lord to defend the city with the power of my true body."

"There are two main things. One is that there is an out-of-control fire in any part of the city. The adults should quickly extinguish it with sand and dust. The other is that a large number of various types of shielding stone bombs and gravel bombardment can be built in the city, thinking that our army will hide in the city and mobilize freely."

"Everyone important buildings should also be covered with this."

"Otherwise, the Huaishan Mountains could not stop the bombardment of the crossbows of the Huaishan Mountains for the next three days and nights."

The real body does not need to leave the city, but only needs to consume a lot of power. Wu Dingguo's proposal is reasonable. Shang Wen even lost 20% of the army under his command, and planned to die another 50,000 or 60,000 people. Of course, this matter is nothing. He responded immediately and looked at Wu Fengqi who was lying like a dead dog on the side and said, "This person killed the people of the Wu family, and I will give it to the general today."

"Then I would like to thank the doctor." Wu Dingguo bowed.

After the two talked, Shang Wen left and prepared. Wu Dingguo glanced at Wu Fengqi and wanted to kill him, but he thought that if this battle was won, he could use his criticism of the Shang family to conspire to seize the country and lead the entire Cai State to attack Shang family. So he gave up and took it back and discussed the matter with Yingzi.

Soon after, the landlord's true body began to follow Wu Dingguo's words, and consuming the huge power accumulated by the true body, using his magical power to extract stone underground in the city to raise a variety of hidden buildings, which not only covers important buildings, but also makes the army of Cai have a hiding place in the city.

In this way, the landlord activated his true body to consume a large amount of mana stored by several generals, and the Cai army in the city no longer had to worry about the bombardment of the crossbow cannons on the Huai River. Such miraculous scenes have boosted the morale of the Cai army.
