Chapter 1: The Controversy in Yuanzhou (II)

After hearing Zheng Nansheng's report, Hong Chenggong sighed without closing his eyes all night. Zhuoba was indeed amazing. As soon as he saw a flaw in Hanlin Temple, he wiped out all the secrets with a hero cut off his arm. The speed was amazing.

It is difficult to find flaws hidden in Hanlin Temple. From the little novice monk with the Dharma name Mirror Flower and the monk who was in charge of their skills, this is nothing. It is not surprising that monks can fist and kick, but the arrangement of the Zhike Hall made Hong Chenggong suspicious. Zhike Hall was cleaned up spotlessly, and the temple was extremely clean. Why are weeds growing outside the mountain gate temple, and the stone steps entering the temple are also full of moss? Since the temple is clean and orderly, the steps of the pilgrim entering the temple are definitely not because the monks in the temple are too lazy, and the pilgrim donation is also the source of life for the monks in the temple. Even if the monks are lazy, they will not understand such a simple principle. Look at the monks and monks who have washed the robes on the little novice monks and monks who have been washed many times and have turned white, but there is no patch. When they see that they are calm and calm,

It can be seen that Hanlin Temple is definitely not a simple place. At least the abbot of the temple is not a simple person. How can it be simple to train such disciples? Hanlin Temple has no field temple products, and there are rare pilgrims who come to the temple to burn incense and add incense and oil. So how can the monks in this temple live? Could it be that they can eat and dress when chanting scriptures every day? Obviously, it is impossible. Someone must provide everything for the temple from time to time. When Hong Chenggong thought of Zhuoba generously asking him to choose the time and place, he immediately understood. Then he ordered Zheng Nansheng to lead his troops to Hanlin Temple to invite the monks of Heshi Temple to the military camp. However, Zhuoba himself burned Hanlin Temple first, which completely exposed that Hanlin Temple was a secret stronghold for the Miao people to collect intelligence. How could ordinary people think that the Divine Sect, which calls wind and rain in western Hunan, would actually hide their identity in the shelter Buddhist temple?

This also exposed a big weakness of Zhuoba. He cherishes his wings too much. Of course, if it were himself, perhaps his approach to Zhuoba might be similar. After all, if a commander does not care about his subordinates, who would fight for you desperately?

After discovering a Miao intelligence base like Hanlin Temple, Hong Chenggong immediately ordered the investigation of all the temples and Taoist temples in his jurisdiction. Once suspicious people were found, they would be arrested and interrogated immediately. Although Zhuoba issued a timely notice, the losses were still not small, and these intelligence bases would no longer be available in the future, so it would be even more difficult to contact the outside world.

Human losses can be ignored, but these important intelligence strongholds are controlled by Hong Chenggong, which will be the beginning of the disaster. If the other party is not Zhuoba, Wu Heimiao would probably be able to cut him with a knife.

"King, this time it was Zhuoba's fault. I didn't expect that Hong Chengxuan would act so quickly. Now he responded to changes in the same situation and kept his troops still, which poses greater threat to us." Zhuoba also hated Hong Chengxuan, and he hated him even more than Wu Heimiao. These intelligence bases were built up by himself for ten years. It can be said that they were treated as their own children. But in the face of Wu Heimiao's anger, he could only remain calm. If he was also angry, it would be a disaster. With temples and Taoist temples collecting information and intelligence, the difficulties in external communication are only temporary, and I believe they can be recovered soon.

"King, you can relieve the fire. The military advisor is also for your great cause. Not to mention his hard work and great contributions. If the military advisor had not been alert in advance this time, the losses might not be the only one. Besides, this time there is no gain. Didn't the military advisor say that Hong Chenggong is good at attacking? Then let him attack, don't you?" Yin Ji pushed his body towards Wu Heimiao in a hot voice and comforted him.

"I also know this, but how can I let Hong Chenggong attack?" Wu Heimiao asked with a tug of eyebrows.

"Our army turned around and captured Yongshun Xuanwei Office, and expanded its living space northward." Zhuoba's calm voice sounded.

"The Peng family of Yongshun Xuanwei Department is not weak. Now I am in peace with him. If I beat the Peng family, it would be like the Tujia people in Xiangxi to get into evil. If I do this, wouldn't it push the Peng family into the arms of the court?" Wu Heimiao wanted to swallow such a large piece of territory as Yongshun, but she was still a little concerned about the Peng family's strength in Yongshun. The Peng family is the uncrowned king in the hearts of the Tujia people in Xiangxi. In the past, the imperial court had to let him get three points. It has been in Yongshun for hundreds of years and is deeply rooted and not so easy to uproot.

"At present, the court relies on the fact that there is a Peng family in Yongshun north of our army, which cannot develop northward. If we accidentally occupy Yongshun quickly, going north can threaten Shizhouwei. Shizhouwei has been newly attached to the Northern Dynasties. People are unstable, and Hong Chenggong does not attack Yuanzhou City. Even if we capture Yuanzhou City, our space for expansion has been formed. The court in the north needs to mobilize at least another 150,000 to 200,000 troops to trap me in western Hunan, otherwise it will be in the mountains and ridges of western Hunan.

The official army can play hide-and-seek, and they can only get rid of these tens of thousands of people!" Zhuoba's strategy is not entirely to mobilize Hong Chenggong to take the initiative to attack Yuanzhou. However, while the north is going smoothly, Ningyuan gave up opening up the passage to Guangxi and heading north against the current to achieve unexpected results. It also seems to be a kind of gambling. If the attack on Yongshun is frustrated, Wu Heimiao and his situation will be even more difficult, but once they win, Wu Heimiao, the king of Xiangxi, deserves its reputation.

"I'm considering it!" He wouldn't dare to make such an important decision without considering it carefully.

"Military advisor, do you have a more secure plan?" Yin Ji also felt that this plan was too risky. If she didn't succeed, she would have to succeed. She didn't want to lose money at once, and she didn't even have a chance to flip the cards.

"There are also safe strategies, increase troops in Yuanzhou City and pretend to send troops to attack Jingzhou. However, Hong Chenggong may not send troops to attack Yuanzhou, because our foundation is in western Hunan. Even if the army captures Jingzhou, as long as he is so close to Yuanzhou, we will lose no matter how we fight. I dare to conclude that Hong Chenggong will still remain unmoved. Unless there is an emergency that forces him to move troops, the possibility of success is very small." Zhuoba thought for a while.

"Can't there be a better strategy that doesn't require risk and confidence?" Wu Heimiao suddenly spoke.

"How can wars not require risks? A sure war is when we have an absolute advantage in power. Moreover, we are just at a close match and even at a slight disadvantage. We are facing a difficult opponent like Hong Chengchi. I can only say that the longer the time delays, the more unfavorable it is for us." Zhuoba explained.

"Is there any way for the military advisor to let Hong Chenggong go?" Yin Ji said with a fox-like cunning look in her charming eyes.

Yin Ji's words made Zhuoba feel a little strange about this demonic woman. He always looked down on women's wisdom and believed that it was just a means of charming to please and seduce men. In terms of great wisdom, great wisdom, or men's power, now he found that he really underestimated this woman who relied on her body and face to win Wu Heimiao's favor.

"There are several methods. The first method is the simplest and most difficult, that is, imitating Zuo Liangyu, sending someone to secretly sneak into the military camp of the government army, giving Hong Chenggong the same poison, forcing the court to change generals in the last battle. However, this plan is difficult. After the official army suffered a loss, the defense of the commander must be more strict, and the possibility of success is very small. If the governor of Huguang is in charge, it will probably be more cost-effective. The governor of Huguang is probably more difficult to deal with than Hong Chenggong. The second method is to take the initiative to give up Yuanzhou. When Hong Chenggong enters, we will take the opportunity to siege the city and trap him in it. Hong Chenggong will meet.

I am not sure if I can't be fooled into the city. The third method is to drive away the Han people in Yuanzhou City, and our army followed behind to fight. Now Hong Chenggong has not besieged the city. The army is concentrated in the eastern suburbs of Yuanzhou City, and may be able to cause a heavy blow. I can only withdraw troops from Yuanzhou. This move not only has an impact on the reputation of the king, but Ma Gui may not listen to the king. Moreover, Hong Chenggong has always killed people without blinking. He may not be worried about the life and death of the people. As long as he judges the way we use it, he will definitely kill the people without hesitation and the outcome is unknown." After Zhuoba finished speaking, he closed his eyes again.

Wu Heimiao thought about it and seemed that the first method was the most feasible. The remaining two methods were too much to cause damage to him and were not very cost-effective. Suddenly, he thought it was like he was enlightened. Even if the first method was not successful, he had to try it. If it was really successful, the official army had no leader. Then the second and third method might be able to wipe out the official army. At that time, the entire Xiangxi will be dominated by himself, and those chieftains who did not surrender to him.

Will the Peng family and others in Yongshun follow their own leader in the future? The military advisor just listed the three methods one by one, but he combined them organically to form a series of strategies. It seems that the military advisor is just like this! He was excited when he thought of it, and he was calm at the moment, and ordered Zhuoba and Yin Ji to go down first, summon a confidant death warrior, and whispered a few instructions. He wanted to prove it to Zhuoba. Without you, Wu Heimiao would still be the King of Xiangxi and still be able to achieve hegemony!

Hong Chenggong did not expect that Wu Heimiao's only attack was the only one. However, with Zuo Liangyu's previous experience, Hong Chenggong never slept in his commando. Instead, he put on the armor of ordinary soldiers and slept with his guards. The military camp of 25,000 troops was full of ordinary military tents. Although Hong Chenggong's guard camp was distributed around the commando, it was also mixed with the ordinary military tent. It was basically no difference in the dark. Wu Heimiao sent a confidant dead soldier to sneak into the Hong Chenggong army camp and soon found the central commando. However, the dead soldier was inside.

There is only one night guard who is on the night and sleeps in Hong Chenggong's clothes and armor. The poisoned dead soldier is very capable. I don't know where Wu Heimiao recruited it. He confirmed Hong Chenggong's handsome tent and saw the person sleeping inside. Naturally, he regarded it as Hong Chenggong himself. He immediately poisoned the "Cicada Cup" for the sleeping guard, and then left without knowing it. He was like entering a nobody's realm. After a person with his ability directly killed the person, no one knew. He really didn't know why it was so troublesome to poison it. Maybe he was afraid that if he failed, he would alarm the soldiers patrolling the night outside!

The world is so big, with countless strange people. Hong Chenggong finally realized the power of Miao Manzi's methods. If he hadn't been prepared for it, he would probably be the one who could not move his body while lying on the collapsed body and speaking.

What to do? Hong Chenggong was thinking quickly in his mind, should he use his tricks? It really made him embarrassed. No matter what, there was an opportunity to defeat Zhuoba. If he missed it, he probably wouldn't be next time.

How can Zhuoba use a trick of poisoning and assassination before he decides his own victory or defeat? Isn’t this what Zhuoba did? Wu Heimiao and Hong Chenggong’s eyes suddenly lit up. The generals and generals are not in line. Whether they are true or false, they have to try it. It doesn’t matter if they have some losses. There is no way for the world to fight smoothly.
