The most powerful film and television lottery

Chapter 446 Chapter 449 Brilliant
Shen Mu is like a gambler who gambled in the dark, when he wanted to make the last bet, he suddenly realized that he had lost all the chips in his hand.The saddest thing is that knowing Li Shimin's strategy, he still can't cope with it and change it.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "What if brother Shimin loses the battle of Cijian?"

Li Shimin laughed dumbly and said: "I will not lose this battle anyway. From tonight onwards, our army will not be able to defend ourselves, and wait for the other four armies to capture Huiluo, Luokou, Hanoi, and Yique respectively." News. If this is not enough, the people of the world can leave tens of thousands of people guarding the fortress, and lead others to go down the Dahe River to personally capture Jinyong City in the south of Beiman Mountain and northeast of Luoyang. At that time, it will be seen whether Wang Shichong will buy Luoyang because of Cijian Ignore it, and accompany the young marshal here to enjoy the moon and stars?"

Shen Mu slapped the table and sighed: "Good boy! Your grandma's bear! Only now do I understand what a military plan is, and why Xue Ju and his son, Liu Wuzhou, and Song Jingang lost so fucking badly. Your brother It’s beyond my power, you invite me to drink tonight, just to embarrass me so that I can’t step down, right?”

Li Shimin said solemnly: "On the contrary, I invite you to drink and have a heart-to-heart talk, because I, Li Shimin, are your brothers. Your young commander is a hero, so accept my bet. I, Li Shimin, set a date for the second half of the year. Your debt of favor."

Shen Mu's eyes were shining brightly, staring at Li Shimin without saying a word.

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Don't place any more hope on Hulao. I have assigned Li Shiji full responsibility for conquering Hulao. This person is a first-class talent no matter whether he is in Li Mi's army or among our Tang generals. I have full confidence that he can take Hulao lightly."

Shen Mu shook his head and sighed, "The battle of Luoyang was too unfair to me!"

Li Shimin said: "War is like this. There are rules in the rivers and lakes, and there are rules in wars. If you win, you will be king, and if you lose, you will be a bandit. The young commander follows the Romans, how can he say such a thing?"

Shen Mu stood up abruptly, looked up at the starry sky, and said slowly: "I have my rules. From now on, the King of Qin doesn't need to miss the old relationship anymore. He should just follow your rules of war and wipe out me and my young commander. Man, I die without complaint."

Li Shimin sighed: "You said the young marshal is unwilling to accept the bet, why bother?"

Shen Mu laughed loudly and said, "Because I feel more and more that with an opponent like your brother, I will live up to this life."

The last negotiation between the two ended in a breakdown.

Before going to the appointment, Shen Mu said that he would relay the conversation with Li Shimin to Wang Shichong verbatim.But when he really wanted to do this, Shen Mu began to understand that it was impossible: not only could he only selectively choose what was suitable to say to Wang Shichong, but he also had to change Li Shimin's original tone of voice and remove the insulting words.

In the inner hall of Cijian General Manager's Mansion, Wang Shichong stepped back from the left and right, and listened to Shen Mu's report with all his attention.

Shen Mu finally said: "Li Shimin asked me to say such a thing today, mainly to make me retreat in the face of difficulties. But the Holy Majesty, don't worry, I am more confident than ever that I can guard Cijian. If Li Shimin really If we take a detour to attack Luoyang, we will raze the camp he left behind, and then flank his army attacking Luoyang. How can a city as strong as Luoyang be captured in a year or so?"

He didn't say a word about the bet that Li Shimin proposed but he didn't dare to accept, and he didn't say anything about Zhang Zhenzhou. It's very likely that it was just a plan to alienate, of course, it might be true.As for Li Shimin's strategy, he reported it truthfully.

Wang Shi's face was filled with gloom, and he said in a deep voice: "If we can't capture his stronghold for a long time, wouldn't our [-] troops be restrained here by him? Easily cut off the grain transportation route from Luoyang to Cijian, and because he controls the control of the Yellow River, Guanzhong has water support, but there is no problem in grain supply. This is a great disadvantage to us."

Shen Mu was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you must not give up Cijian. If Cijian is lost, Shou'an and Yique will be lost, and the blow to our morale will be hard to estimate. Now that the big river in the north has fallen into the hands of Li Shimin, If the Tang army is allowed to sweep across the southern cities and cut off the connection with Xiangyang, we will be completely passive with only Yanshi and Hulao to the east."

Wang Shichong snorted coldly and said: "I'm not as pessimistic as the young marshal. Hulao and Luokou, Xingyang, Guanzhou, Zhengyang, Bianzhou and Yanshi cities echo each other. The cities on this line are all against me, Wang Shichong. Loyal general guards, Li Shimin thinks it is not easy to cut off my east side. If Li Shiji dares to attack the tiger prison, if he kills himself, as long as I concentrate my troops in Luoyang, if there is something to do in the east, I will send troops from Luoyang to help, Li Shimin How long can it last? When it snows heavily in winter, he can only go back to Guanzhong, and the world will be my Wang Shichong's world at that time."

Shen Mu said indifferently: "But have you ever thought that our success or failure will depend on the tiger prison? Is this called desperate, and we can only pray to God and Buddha every day to hope that the tiger prison will not fall?"

Wang Shichong shook his head and said, "I have made up my mind. Starting tomorrow, we will withdraw our troops in stages and return to Luoyang. Huiluo is one of our two major granaries, and it has a greater impact on Luoyang's success than Cijian."

Hearing this, Shen Mu got angry for no reason, stood up abruptly, and said in a deep voice: "One day, the Holy Majesty will regret this decision. The army is defeated like a mountain. Although the retreat is not a defeat, the loss of Cijian will affect the confidence of all soldiers in the Holy Majesty. , It also affects their loyalty to the Holy Majesty. Can the Holy Majesty give me 1 people, and I will be responsible for defending the side of Cijian for the Holy Majesty."

Wang Shichong looked at him coldly for a long while, then slowly shook his head and said, "I must preserve my troops to defend Luoyang."

Shen Mu sighed and made a helpless expression, then walked towards the exit.

Wang Shichong shouted angrily, "Where are you going?"

Shen Mu didn't turn his head back, and said in a deep voice: "Of course, I'm going back to Pengliang to see if there is any chance to take Jiangdu from Li Zitong. Jiangdu is another Luoyang. If it falls into my hands, the boundless sea will be at my mercy." Shen Mu is rampant, if Li Shimin attacks Pengliang, I will have leverage to deal with him."

Wang Shichong softened, and sighed: "I have my own difficulties, why don't you sit down and discuss them carefully, and come up with a plan that can achieve the best of both worlds. The young commander is thinking about Cijian, and I am thinking about Luoyang. For example, between Cijian and Luoyang Building two stone forts along the road can not only strengthen the defense to the west of Luoyang, but also avoid the danger of being out of reach like sticking to Cijian."

Shen Mu knew that Zhang Zhi proposed his and Yang Gongqing's earlier ideas to Wang Shichong, but in the end Wang Shichong decided to abandon Cijian because of timidity, and shook his head: "Only Cijian is still there, so that the two stone fortresses can be built together." Play an active role. Alas! I really don't want to leave the Holy Majesty, just because I have no choice but to be slaughtered by Li Shimin so easily!"

Wang Shichong got up from his seat, walked straight behind Shen Mu, and said displeasedly: "How can the young commander be willing to stay and help me? Except for the matter of Cijian, it is difficult for me to nod, there is room for discussion on other things."

Shen Mu turned around like a whirlwind, and said decisively: "Okay! As long as the Holy Majesty is willing to let me take full responsibility for guarding the tiger prison, I will live and die with the Holy Majesty, and will never leave halfway."

Shen Mu rushed through the city gate, and the gatekeepers saluted solemnly with high morale.

Yang Gongqing and Ma Chang, who had been waiting for him, came up to meet him.

Shen Mu gestured for them not to ask, and said as they walked: "Boy Li is so powerful, he knocked me down when he talked too much on a date. Damn it! He must be repaying me for the shot I tried to kill him the night before. hatred!"

Yang Gongqing and Ma saw that he had a bad look, and they both knew something was wrong. The former frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

Shen Mu stood still more than ten steps away from the gate of the village, looked at the brilliant lights of the enemy camp in the distance, and said dejectedly: "Wang Shichong wants to retreat to protect Luo and Luoyang!"

Ma Chang lost his voice: "What? Then Shou'an and Yi Que are going to surrender?"

Yang Gongqing was shocked and said: "Then if Zhang Zhenzhou is forced to submit to the Tang Dynasty."

Shen Mu secretly sighed in his heart, he and Yang Gongqing understood Zhang Zhenzhou better than anyone including Wang Shichong, he was completely disappointed in Wang Shichong, if he could assassinate Wang Shichong, he would definitely stand on the side of Shen Mu and Yang Gongqing.

But when Wang Shichong abandoned Cijian, he certainly refused to sacrifice his life for Wang Shichong, a despicable, repetitive, and selfish villain. It was a wise move to surrender in exchange for the official title of the Tang Dynasty, and no one can criticize it. Criticize him for half a sentence.

If Li Shimin could predict that what he said would make Wang Shichong withdraw his troops and give up Cijian, and one of the consequences of this action would be to make Zhang Zhenzhou, one of the two famous generals of Zheng Jun, surrender angrily. Li Shimin's scheming is really terrible.

With a wry smile: "That's why I said that Li Xiaozi is amazing."

Briefly explain the strategic deployment that Li Shimin declared in advance to the two of them.

Yang Gongqing said with a sigh of relief: "Li Shimin's warning is timely, because the news just came from Luoyang that one of our navy was defeated in Mengjin, and the Tang army assembled in Heyang was about to cross the river to attack Huiluo. [-] people have landed on the south bank of the Dahe River, captured Heyin, and are now threatening the towns of Hulao, Xingyang, and Guancheng. Li Shimin has proved that what he said was not empty talk."

Ma Chang said, "What should we do?"

Yang Gongqing said: "Li Zitong still has some strength, enough to threaten our brothers in Pengliang."

Shen Mu smiled bitterly and said: "Now I have to leave and go to Chang'an to help my good brother deal with Shi Zhixuan. It will take about ten days for Wang Shichong to withdraw his troops. After returning to Luoyang, he has no choice but to send you to assist Luo, and then cooperate with him." A person like Wang Xuanying is here to supervise you. You must seize the opportunity to go to Pengliang to meet up with the brothers. If there is something wrong with Chang’an, I will rush back to Pengliang immediately. Try to see if there is any way to preserve strength and capture Jiangdu .At that time we still had a chance."

Ma Chang said: "If Wang Shichong personally supervises the teacher to help and return to Luo, what should we do?"

Shen Mu shook his head resolutely, patted Ma Chang on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry! If Li Shimin can let Wang Shiquan go to rescue Luo, he is not the Li Shimin I know. Wang Shichong retreats in an orderly manner, and Li Shimin will never Take the risk of pursuing, and divide the troops into two groups, one to Shou'an and Yique, and join Shi Wanbao to cut off the connection between Xiangyang and Luoyang; Wang Shichong said, do you think Luoyang or returning to Luo is important?"

Yang Gongqing said: "Fortunately, our army's family is all in Yanshi, and the Yanshi guard is also one of my people. It is very convenient to escape to Pengliang from there, as long as there is enough time."

Shen Mu said in surprise: "This will be a big flaw in Wang Shichong's control over his generals. If he leaves all his family members in Luoyang, he will have a lot of worries about betraying him."

Yang Gongqing said: "But there are great difficulties in implementation, and it is not good for the economy. Luoyang has 70 households and a population of [-]. Including the army, it has reached saturation. If you add the families of soldiers and soldiers, The food supply will definitely not be able to handle it, so the family members are stationed with the soldiers, which is also a means of stabilizing the morale of the army. Otherwise, it is a very headache to arrange the soldiers to go home regularly to visit relatives."

Ma Chang said: "Does the young commander have to go? Or argue with Wang Shichong tomorrow, maybe he will change his mind. It's a pity for the young commander to leave like this!"

Yang Gongqing also said: "I can persuade other generals who understand the strategy of war to tell this idiot his interests and interests in the morning, so that he will no longer go his own way and bring himself to perish."

Shen Mu sighed: "I understand Wang Shichong too well. He only believes in himself. This is also the characteristic of people in the devil's sect. My last request is to guard him in the tiger's prison, but he perfunctory me by taking time and consideration. Damn it. I don’t want to waste any more time for this kind of person, now my only chance is to take Jiangdu before Li Shimin takes Luoyang, and then ask my future father-in-law to come to help by sea, then I can make Li Xiaozi look good.”

After that, go to the gate of the village.

Yang Gongqing and Ma Chang followed suit, wanting to speak but speechless.

For Shen Mu's strategic wisdom, the two had long been convinced, and his decision should be the best choice.

Shen Mu suddenly stopped again, and said: "My other brother Ba Fenghan may come to Luoyang to look for me in the next few days, he knows our relationship well, if he can't find me, he will naturally look for Duke Yang."

Ma Chang said: "I will pay attention to people. The Luoyang city defense is very tense now. If you don't take care of it, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to enter the city."

Shen Mu smiled and said: "This kid has more methods than me. You'd better not let the news out, because he is also one of the number one enemies that the Demon Sect wants to win. Don't worry! He has a way to enter the city."

Yang Gongqing said: "Young commander-in-chief can rest assured, should we invite him to Pengliang to wait for the young commander-in-chief?"

Shen Mu said: "This is too much of a waste of him! Please, Lord Yang, pass on a message for me, and ask him to protect him until Pengliang. With his Heaven-Stealing Sword by his side, even if he is trapped by thousands of troops, he still has a chance to break out and escape." .”

Yang Gongqing trembled and said, "Thank you, Young Marshal!"

Shen Mu said: "It is imperative to guard against others. If Zhang Zhenzhou descends to the Tang Dynasty, Wang Shichong will be suspicious of General Yang, so under any circumstances, he must be guarded. Preserving strength is the only feasible and should be done under the current situation. thing."

Grabbing Ma Chang's shoulder again, he said, "Mr. Yang is one of the elders that I, Shen Mu, respect and love the most. Ma Chang, you wake me up and take good care of Mr. Yang. In the future, we will be able to rule the world, but Xue was humiliated tonight by Shame on Li Shimin."

Ma Chang burst into tears, lowered his head and said firmly: "Even if I go through fire and water, I will give the general a chance to see the young commander again."

Shen Mu laughed, and walked towards the gate of the village.

Looking at his back as he went away, both of them felt that he had taken away the last hope to defend Luoyang.

Shen Mu flew westward at full speed in the vast field surrounded by starry sky, the farther he was from the battlefield, the more at a loss he felt in his heart.

His break with Wang Shichong will deal an even worse blow to Wang Shichong's military spirit. Many Dazheng generals who had no dissent before will now reconsider their own interests.

He was almost certain that Li Shimin would succeed in isolating Luoyang, it was only a matter of time.When Luoyang fell, it was related to the survival of his young commander.

With his current strength, it is absolutely impossible for him to take Jiangdu from Li Zitong with a sharp sword and a bright spear.

Starting from the determination to fight for world hegemony, he has never tried to exhaust himself like the plan in front of him.

Li Shimin regards him as his only rival, and only now does he truly understand that Li Shimin is indeed his biggest obstacle and threat.

He just wanted to find Xu Ziling as soon as possible and confide to him the hesitation and resentment in his heart.

He was not discouraged because of this, although it is inevitable to be frustrated, but deep down, his fighting spirit is gradually spreading like a spark that started a prairie fire.

The struggle between him and Li Shimin can only be resolved by the defeat of one side.

Shen Mu stopped suddenly, and there was a person standing proudly in front of the official road, he laughed and said, "Isn't the young commander going to be Wang Shichong's running dog? Why do you have the leisure to leave the camp for a walk?"

Shen Mu strode forward, and when he was ten steps away from the road blocker, he said with a dumb smile: "It turns out that it is Brother Xu Yan, the Illusory Demon Movement Technique really lives up to its reputation, and it can be ahead of the younger brother as a little thief who blocks the road and cuts the path. The younger brother is here now I have no money, but I have a low life, if I want to take it, I have to see if brother Xu Yan has that ability?"

It was actually "Shadow Swordsman" Yang Xuyan, needless to say he was secretly waiting outside the camp, seeing Shen Mu leaving the camp, so he followed behind and came here to intercept him.Shen Mu lost his mind and thought wildly, and Yang Xuyan was a master of stealth, so he lost consciousness for a moment and didn't know that this formidable enemy was following behind him.

Covered with a black cloth cover and wearing night clothes, Yang Xuyan, who is tall and dexterous, had a sharp look in his eyes, and said indifferently: "Young Commander's eight methods in the well are famous all over the world. Who dares to boast that he can take the Young Commander's life. But Xu Yan Seeing the Young Marshal fighting with the King of Qin for a long time, I couldn't help itching, and I didn't want to miss the opportunity for nothing, so I couldn't help but try it out."

Shen Mu smiled wryly and said: "Brother Xu Yan is really accurate, and to be honest, I did not stop fighting today, and the real energy wasted a lot. Sigh! Does Brother Xu Yan have a lot of time? Why bother talking nonsense, start immediately Seeing the truth is the truth."

"Chong!"

Yang Xuyan pulled out the shadow sword that had made countless stabbed targets bewildered and resentful, and spurred out a powerful sword energy, pressing towards Shen Mu, and said coldly: "So Xuyan is no longer polite!"

Shen Mu took a step back, pulled out the long sword on his back, and pointed at the opponent, resisting the opponent's domineering and fierce sword spirit, and said in surprise: "No wonder Brother Xu Yan is so confident. Immediately felt very exciting."

The sword energy that Yang Xuyan urged could not stop growing, but his tone was calm and unwavering, he said coldly: "How dare Xu Yan forget for a moment the humiliation bestowed by the young commander. Young commander, don't blame Xu Yan for taking advantage of others' dangers , because this is Xu Yan's consistent style, and it is the true qualities that an assassin should have."

Shen Mu felt great hatred in his heart, this bad guy Yang Xuyan really knows how to pick the time.In terms of mood, he is unbeatable. He had just had a big fight with Wang Shichong, and they broke up unhappy. He was both lost and at a loss. In terms of state, he fought hard all day long, exhausted physically and mentally, with more than a dozen wounds on his body that have not yet healed.
