Chapter 277 Preparations before the war
Ten miles to the east of Fengxian County, at this moment, Yang Benzhong was sitting in the tent of the Chinese army listening to what Zhong Zhun had seen and heard.

"So, Shanggu City is still in the hands of our army?"

As soon as Zhong Zhun finished speaking, Yang Benzhong took over and asked unceremoniously.

"My lord, that's about it."

Zhong Zhun considered his words carefully.

As an envoy, his task is to relay what he saw along the way in detail. As for extracting the cocoons from it and restoring the original appearance of the matter, that is all the responsibility of the coach.

Yang Benzhong fell into deep thought.

Although my trip was ordered by the king to break the siege of Shanggu City, but such a good opportunity was in front of me, if I didn't seize it, it would be a pity.

Although he bears the name of a Shouyangzi, when the cuteness of his father's generation is finally exhausted, he knows very well that many generals in the army are not convinced to let him, a young boy, ride on his own. Show off your power above your head.

Now is the perfect opportunity to prove yourself.

Seeing the change in Yang Benzhong's eyes, General Zhang on the side remained silent.

"What is Old General Zhang's opinion on this matter?"

Although Yang Benzhong was very moved, he also knew that this place was not his own. Although Old General Zhang was only a deputy commander, in terms of prestige and reputation, he was undoubtedly much louder than him.

Similarly, the attitude expressed by the other party also represents the meaning of a considerable number of middle and high-level generals in the army.

Of course, the final decision can only be made by himself as the coach.

"A grown-up is the head coach. If you have anything to do, just take orders. This old man is good at chopping off the heads of Chetuo people. If you are planning a strategy, you should bypass me!"

Obviously, General Zhang is also a person who knows how to measure.

Yang Benzhong showed a satisfied smile on his face.

When he asked this question, he didn't really want to listen to the other party's opinion. If the old bone really wanted to climb up the pole ignorantly, he still needed to spend a lot of effort to solve this hidden danger.

However, he still wanted to compliment this old guy. After all, the sedan chair was carried by people, and with his help, he could suppress the unconvinced voices in the army.

"Where is General Zhang, you are always a veteran in the battlefield, and this junior still has a lot to learn from you."

After flattering the other party, Yang Benzhong's tone quickly changed again.

"The captive's words may not be credible, but no matter what, it is an indisputable fact that the Chetuo people are standing still outside Shanggu City. We can cooperate with General Zheng Xin and catch him by surprise."

"At that time, not only will the siege of Shanggu City be resolved, but the initiative on the battlefield will also fall back into my hands. It is not up to Chetuo people to decide whether to fight or leave."

Yang Benzhong's eyes showed strong confidence.

Even if his opponent is the military god of the Chetuo people, King Chetuo who has fought for more than [-] years without a single defeat, Yang Benzhong doesn't feel that he is any worse than the opponent.

In his eyes, there are no heroes in time, and it is nothing more than making Zhu Zi famous.

"Since the commander-in-chief has made up his mind, there is nothing wrong with this old man, it's just that General Zheng..."

Zhang Huaiyi always felt that something was wrong.

But Zong Shuai of the reinforcements had made a decision, and if he refuted it again, he would not give Yang Benzhong face, so he could only cover up his palpitations.

"This matter is easy to hear. Didn't he ask me for an explanation, and I will give him an explanation."

"Come here, Cao Huaji, the grain supervisor, neglected his duties. He was greedy for alcohol and made a mistake. He made the grain and grass guards. He cut off his head and sent them to Shanggu City together with the grain and grass."

Zuo Zuo is just a domestic slave, and when he dies, he dies.

Yang Benzhong didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhong Zhun's self-assertion.

On the contrary, I feel that this person can adapt to the situation and is a talent that can be used to great advantage.

"As ordered!"

Immediately, two soldiers walked out of the military tent, and within a short time of a cup of tea, they returned to the military tent with a bloody head in their hands.

Zhong Zhun was also a little terrified of Yang Benzhong's decisiveness.

A domestic slave who has been with him for more than ten years will be killed if he is killed, so the soldiers like himself who may not even be able to name them, in the eyes of this Marshal Yang, are nothing more than qualifications for his promotion.

Zhong Zhun couldn't help feeling a little vigilant.

However, Yang Benzhong just stared at Cao Huaji's dead head for a while, and then he didn't take it seriously, smiling at Zhong Zhun.

"I would like to trouble General Zhong to make another trip on my behalf, and send this head along with the food and grass to General Zheng."

The tone of the tone highlights the calmness of the wind.

"What's your job, don't bother the general."

Zhong Zhun hid his small thoughts and silently bowed to Yang Benzhong.

At night, Zhong Zhun led a team of people to the gate of Shanggu City in the dark, and was hoisted up by hanging baskets along with 1000 people's dry food for three days.

After that, I don't know what they said.

At dawn on the second day, there were only less than a thousand guards in Shanggu City who took the initiative to attack the Chetuo people.

Unexpectedly, for the Shiyu people's counterattack like an egg hitting a rock, the Chetuo people were completely opposite to the bravery they showed before.

There is no intention of seizing the city at all.

After probing again and again, Yang Benzhong finally got the news that King Chetuo was seriously injured.

If this is not the case, how could the Chetuo people be allowed to shit on their heads repeatedly based on their brave and warlike temperament.

"Old General Zhang, the opportunity for you and me to make contributions is coming. Even if the Chetuo people cannot be captured alive, this battle will still make the Chetuo Kingdom unable to recover for at least ten years!"

Yang Benzhong was wearing the armor handed down from Lord Shouyang, but his face was full of thoughts of making great achievements.

But Old General Zhang still felt something was wrong.

"Nephew, the Chetuo people are always cunning. Just in case, it's better to let nephew Zhong Xian lead an elite soldier to sit in the camp. If this is a trap set by the Chetuo people, it will also be convenient for covering the army to retreat calmly."

The elder bit the bullet and suggested.

"My lord also speaks bluntly, and the boy has nothing to do with it."

Yang Benzhong narrowed his eyes towards the old general, and finally he let go after a while.

"Zhong Zhun, what do you think?"

"The general has no objection."

Zhong Zhun's submissive attitude made Yang Benzhong feel a lot better.

Worried about the other party's complaints, he even comforted him patiently.

"It's not that the commander-in-chief didn't give you the opportunity to make contributions. However, this matter is of great importance. There must be a reliable person in the army. I will inevitably wrong you."

Yang Benzhong came down from the general platform, patted Zhong Zhun on the shoulder, and said earnestly.

"Only follow orders!"

Zhong Zhun's answer was sonorous and forceful.

"Okay, very good! I guess the Chetuo people also know that these three times of confrontation have exposed the information that Chetuo King is seriously injured. Before withdrawing their troops, they will definitely attack Shanggu City in an attempt to paralyze our army's morale. General Zheng also thinks so. "

"At that time, we will cooperate from inside to outside, and directly attack the big camp of the Chetuo people's Chinese army, and strive to complete the battle and capture the Chetuo king alive!"

Yang Benzhong's eyes were piercing, and his words were full of confidence.
