Sui and Tang Dynasties Summons

Chapter 229 Conspiracy
Hukou City General Military Mansion, the main hall.

Silence, death-like silence filled the air, and sullen emotions filled the entire lobby. In the upper seat, Chen Tian glanced at the slandering Xiong Kuo Hai and Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong who were covered in blood.

This battle not only hurt Xiong Kuohai, but also lost [-] elite troops of Chen Jun, which dampened the morale of the army.

Chen Tian glanced at the crowd with his frowning eyebrows, and finally fixed his eyes on Jia Xu, and said in a deep voice with a hint of anger: "Jia Wenhe, is this what you call being unprepared?"

Jia Xu sighed lightly, with helplessness in her tone, she turned to stroke her fan and said, "Oh, it's just a mistake in one strategy. How dare Your Highness listen to the second strategy?"

Chen Tian's complexion was gloomy, and his anger was written all over his face. He frowned and stared at Jia Xu, and said coldly, "What's the plan? Just say it."

Jia Xu took a step forward and said unhurriedly: "Now that the battle has been defeated for the first time, Your Highness should quickly mobilize most of the troops and food from the Wuchang granary, and then take Poyang with all your strength."

Chen Tian frowned, and his tone became suspicious, "Then what if Wu Jun took the opportunity to attack the rear or stopped the food and grass in the middle?"

Jia Xu didn't explain this time, she just cast her deep gaze on Xu Shu, and then a slight change happened.

Xu Shu understood something, a few gleams shot out of his eyes, he coughed a few times, and said calmly: "Your Highness, don't worry, the military master has his own way."

Yongjia, the Imperial Palace of Wu State.

Du Fuwei sat high on the dragon chair, looking high-spirited, smiling at Guo Jia, Deng Ai and others.

After a while, Du Fuwei stood up slowly, clapped his hands, and praised proudly: "General Deng is really the pillar of my great Wu, and he defeated Chen Jun so easily."

"Don't dare, only relying on Mr. Guo's calculations can we accurately defeat Chen Jun."

Deng Ai cupped his hands and bowed his head, but there was a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, pretending that he didn't dare to take credit, and put the credit on Guo Jia.

Seeing this, Wang Xiongdan clenched his fists secretly, his eyes fixed on Deng Ai, his lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, and he suppressed the words welling up in his throat.

Du Fuwei moved to Guo Jia's body with a completely different gaze from before, waved his sleeve robe and said with a smile: "Mr. Guo really has a clever plan. With Mr. Guo here, my great Wu can be protected."

"The emperor's praise is due to the bravery of the soldiers trained by General Deng all the year round."

Guo Jia smiled and took a sip of the wine gourd that was hanging around his waist. He smiled indifferently, but he was humble and tight, without any intention of claiming credit. tone.

Before he finished speaking, Guo Jia's eyes suddenly shot sharply, and the conversation turned coldly: "Now that Chen Jun has not captured Poyang, he will definitely send troops and food from Wuchang. The emperor can transport the food and grass in Poyang City to Yongjia. Instead, secretly send troops to stop and rob on the way, and burn all the food and grass of Chen's army, and they will collapse without fighting."

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead troops to attack Chen Jun again!" As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, Deng Ai hurried forward to ask for a fight.

"Father, let the son go!" At the same time, Wang Xiongdan also rose up in response, and stepped forward to challenge.

When Guo Jia saw the situation, he took another sip of wine, and a sneer flashed across his pale face for a moment, which no one could catch at all.

Both of them were so keen on defeating Chen Jun. Du Fuwei stroked his beard and laughed, and waved his hands confidently and said: "Okay! Since you both want to serve me so much, then you two will each lead five thousand troops and prepare to go halfway." An ambush will inevitably burn their food and grass in one fell swoop, there must be no mistake!"

With an order, the eyes of Xu You and Guo Jia suddenly had some subtle changes.

Midnight, Marshal's Mansion.

The waning moon hanging in the sky is getting darker and darker, but there are two lanterns hanging high at the junction of the front of the mansion and the official road to illuminate.

Dressed in black, he entered the mansion. Deng Ai was studying military books in the room. When he saw the candle light trembling slightly, he drew his sword out of its sheath vigilantly, jumped to the door and yelled outside, "Who dares to break into the Marshal's Mansion?" ?”

Hearing a squeak, a ray of moonlight passed through the door, and a ghostly figure quickly moved into the room and pulled down the huge black cloak. Deng Ai was shocked when he saw that it was none other than Guo Jia.

Deng Ai breathed a sigh of relief, took back the sword in his hand, and asked with a puzzled face: "Mr. Guo, what is this outfit?"

Guo Jia's cold and icy gaze reflected a strange expression, which was completely different from the cynical expression he usually saw, and he asked with seriousness: "General Deng, how long do you think you can live?"

Deng Ai, on the other hand, was puzzled, squinting his eyes slightly and asked back: "Why did Mr. Guo suddenly ask such a question?"

Guo Jian's pale face was still as cold as ice, without the slightest wave, slowly cupped his hands, and said coldly: "General Deng really doesn't know?"

Deng Ai pondered for a moment before replying with certainty: "I really don't know."

Guo Jia snorted coldly, and from the pupils as deep as wolf eyes, there was a look of coolness behind his back, "The current crown prince is going to kill General Deng, does General Deng know?"

Deng Ai was startled for a moment, his eyeballs twirled a few times, and then he said affirmatively: "Impossible, this general has served the emperor on the battlefield for many years, even if there is no credit, there will be hard work. Even if the crown prince wants to kill me, the emperor will never allow it." of."

"Since General Deng is so confident, then wait for yourself. Don't be too late, or you will be controlled by others."

Guo Jia waved his black robe, said coldly, turned around and walked out the door, and disappeared under the moonlight, leaving Deng Ai alone in his thoughts.

East Palace Prince's Mansion.

Wang Xiongdan was standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the topographic map, when he saw a person quietly walking in the door, this person was Xiangguo Xu You.

"Master Xiangguo, why did you visit late at night?"

Turning his head and glancing at Xu You, Wang Xiongyan lowered his voice, obviously not in a good mood.

Xu You slowly moved to Wang Xiongdan's side, looked at the map with the same eyes, took a deep breath, and said meaningfully: "His Royal Highness really forgot to sleep and eat for the war, but I don't know if this battle is worth it or not."

Hearing this, Wang Xiongdan slowly opened his eyes a little, and looked at Xu You beside him, and said coldly in an unquestionable tone: "This is a battle to defend our country of Wu, why is it worth it?" explain."

Xu You sighed, but said regretfully, "I'm afraid this military power has fallen into the hands of Deng Shizai, and it will never be taken back."

"What does Xiangguo mean by that?" Wang Xiongdan's half-opened eyes suddenly opened completely, and the corners of his face twitched a few times, flashing an imperceptible look of vigilance.

"Since the battle of Jiankang, Deng Shizai has always held military power, and adopted a negative attitude to retreat without fighting along the way, handing over most of the country to others, always grabbing it every time he goes out, for fear that others will use his military power, and now Great Wu is surrounded by powerful enemies, Deng Ai still does not hand over his military power, what is it if he wants to support his troops?"

As soon as Xu You's words entered Wang Xiongchan's heart, Wang Xiongchan thought about it secretly, but nodded, because Deng Ai's performance and possible actions were indeed the same.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiongchan couldn't help clenching his fists secretly, his knuckles creaking, but he could only suppress his anger, and said in a deep voice: "If Deng Shizai dares to commit any wrongdoing, I will definitely behead him as a warning to others. !"

"His Royal Highness made a wise decision, and the minister stepped down first."

Xu You patted Wang Xiongdan's flattery, a hint of insidiousness flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly opened the door and went out.

Under the boundless moonlight, two erratic figures sneaked into Han Sui's mansion and Fu Gong Er's mansion respectively.
