Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 692 Digging a Pit
Snapped!
A crystal clear teacup was ruthlessly thrown to the ground by Zuo Xianwang, and it was smashed into pieces. Zuo Xianwang's face was full of anger. He didn't care at all that his favorite cup was smashed, but just stared at the news report viciously. The scout said: "What did you say?"

"General Zuo Tu's 20 vanguard army was completely annihilated." The scout looked at Zuo Xianwang in horror. He already knew that the scout who delivered the news of the annihilation of Zuo Ba's army was beheaded by Zuo Xianwang at that time. This time He didn't want to come here, because he was the youngest and weakest in the scout battalion, so he could only be sent to die.

"Annihilation of the whole army?" King Zuoxian said angrily, "What an annihilation of the entire army!"

King Zuo Xian drew out his saber abruptly and slashed it down. The scouts closed their eyes and waited for death, but King Zuo Xian's saber stopped at the last moment. The scout who escaped from death was covered in cold sweat. virtuous king.

"Tell me, how did Zuo Tu's army be wiped out this time? How many Qin troops did he kill?" King Zuo Xian calmed down his anger slightly. Bad influence, his eyes and ears have already reported the news to him, so this time King Zuo Xian held back his anger and gave the scout another chance.

"General Zuo Tu fell for the trick of the Qin army. He led the army into the killing formation carefully prepared by the general of the Qin army, and was wiped out by the entire army killed by the formation." The scout glanced at Zuo Xianwang and said in a low voice. : "No one in the Qin army was lost in this battle."

"What!" Zuo Xianwang said angrily: "One person is not damaged, but one person is not damaged, did Zuo Tu not eat? How can this king have such waste!"

Whoa!
A bright knife light fell, and the scout kneeling in front of King Zuo Xian undoubtedly became a victim of King Zuo Xian's anger.

"Dark Lord!"

At the last moment when his head was separated from his body, the scout yelled out the words he had held in his heart for a long time, and then he watched his head getting farther and farther away from his body.

King Zuoxian was even more furious after killing the scout: "How dare you say that this king is a foolish king, come here, destroy the entire clan of this scout, let him increase the morale of the enemy army, and destroy our army's prestige!"

"promise!"

Zuo Xianwang killed the scout and ordered the scout's family to be exterminated, but he was still puzzled. He held the knife and looked around. He saw that everyone wanted to cut him with a knife, but the people around him were all his confidantes, so no one could do it. In the end, Zuo Xianwang slashed the table in front of him with a sharp knife and cut it in half. He said angrily, "Qin Jun is deceiving people too much!"

At this moment, King Zuo Xian completely forgot that he invaded Great Qin with his own troops. He only remembered that his 40 troops died on the way to conquer Yunzhong City, and the casualties of the Qin army were only more than [-]. This is a disastrous defeat!

If this kind of paleness spreads, King Zuo Xian can even imagine what position he will have in the hearts of the grassland people. This is a defeat casualty that has never happened in the grassland for decades. The ruling foundation of the entire eastern grassland.

Especially at this kind of pass where iron and wood control the Overlord's Bow, if someone made troubles among the people of the eastern grassland, King Zuo Xian would have even seen the entire eastern grassland full of wars and flames.

Thinking of the scene where he was pulled from the throne by Tiemuzhen, King Zuo Xian couldn't help showing a trace of horror on his face. He looked at the left and right and said: "Zuo Tu is incompetent, what should our army do next, all generals Always give this king an idea."

All the generals looked at me, I looked at you, no one dared to speak first, they all saw the fate of Zuo Ba and Zuo Tu, although they easily blamed Zuo Ba and Zuo Tu for their defeat here body, but they also knew in their hearts that even if they went up by themselves, they might not be better than Zuo Ba and the other two.

Since Zuo Ba and his two men with 20 soldiers cannot defeat their opponents, then they may not be better than the opponent with 20 troops, and this battle is quite difficult to fight. None of them could come back alive. Now beside King Zuo Xian, they are all confidantes of King Zuo Xian. He is a big man who would shake his foot on the eastern grassland. Who would leave a good life and go to the front line to die.

Zuo Xianwang also knew what his subordinates were thinking, he suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at the left and right and said: "Everyone, now is not the time to be wise and protect yourself, now is our critical juncture, if there is no Zuo Ba and his 40 army We still have a chance to retreat when the whole army is wiped out, but these two lost 40 prairie warriors, but they sent us to the cliff. If we can't capture Yunzhong City, what will happen to the eastern prairie? This king knows better, what should be done, think about it for yourself, don't think that this matter is only this king's business, we are all grasshoppers tied to the same rope, if something happens to this king, you will also Can't run away."

Maybe Zuo Xianwang's words played a role, or maybe the generals finally realized that this attack on Qin seemed different from the past. After a moment of silence, the generals finally spoke.

"Your Majesty, Zuo Ba and Zuo Tu lost 20 troops. The blame for this matter must be placed on them. As the leading generals, they caused such heavy losses to our army. It cannot be concluded just because they died. Their families must be held accountable, and I suggest confiscating the two of their homes, and the property will be used to comfort the prairie warriors who died in battle."

"That's right, if the property of the two of them is not enough, the army can donate some more, and we can donate some more."

"Let's put the matter of Zuo Ba and Zuo Tu aside for the time being. The results of the handling can be announced in a small area in the army. The specific handling can be discussed after the war. What needs to be considered now is how to attack Cloud City."

"Judging from the situation that Zuo Ba and his two lost soldiers and lost generals in Yunzhong City, the current Yunzhong City is quite difficult to fight. If we look at it from the old perspective, we will definitely suffer a big loss, but now Yunzhong City has a radius of a hundred miles. Within the range, Qin Jun almost cleaned it up, we don't know anything about Yunzhong City, and I always feel a little flustered."

"I also have this feeling. Today's Yunzhong City is by no means that simple. It is likely that Meng Tian is no longer in charge. I have fought against Meng Tian every year. This is not Meng Tian's fighting style."

"We only know that a Qin general named Bai Qi led people to destroy the armies of Zuo Ba and Zuo Tu successively, but we don't have any information about who Bai Qi is."

"My lord, I think we have to use the foundation in Yunzhong City."

"Those foundations are the trump cards we use to break through Cloud City. Now it's a bit too wasteful to use them just to inquire about some news."

"We are all veterans. We should know that fighting is to know ourselves and the enemy. Now Qin Jun knows us very well, but we don't know Qin Jun and Yunzhong City at all. How can we fight this battle?"

"A mere cloud city can be destroyed with a flick of a finger, do you need to understand it?"

"It can be destroyed with a snap of your fingers? Why do you still have such superficial thoughts? It's really that simple. Zuo Ba and Zuo Tu wouldn't suffer such a big loss in Yunzhong City."

"I am in favor of using our background. We must know what is going on in Yunzhongcheng, otherwise I feel that we will suffer a big loss in Yunzhongcheng. We have already lost 40 warriors, and we can no longer afford such a big loss. , Our main force cannot be used in Cloud City, the main thing is to guard against the temple and Ironwood Town."

"After you figure it out? Or if you don't understand it?"

"Whether you figure it out or not, Yunzhong City must be breached this time, otherwise my tent of King Zuoxian will be in danger. Who will take my tent of King Zuoxian in the eastern grasslands in the future? In this battle we must To win, I suggest summoning 100 million troops to be the vanguard and crush them directly, and call another 100 million troops for backup."

"It's nothing if it's just 100 million. If we call up an army of 200 million, it will be a big burden for us."

"Now it's not a burden, it's a matter that we must win this war. This is a matter of life and death for my king Zuoxian. At this time, I think we should stop thinking about those little things. We must unite Together, gather a force and break through Cloud City."

A group of generals gave advice and suggestions. Although these grassland generals are not as good as Meng Tian and others in terms of strategic planning, they all fight frequently. The strategy of Cloud City.

King Zuoxian listened to the generals speaking one after another. The anger caused by the annihilation of Zuo Tu's entire army in his mind had disappeared, and the train of thought in his mind gradually became clear. Use the highest level of background, at all costs to find out what happened in Yunzhongcheng, and then take Zuo Xianwang's order to recruit another 100 million troops, and obey the dispatch at any time. Midtown."

Zuo Xianwang didn't pay much attention to Yunzhong City at first. There is nothing worth noting about a city that he leveled once ten years ago. Moreover, King Zuo Xian suddenly remembered Wang Mang and others who had fled to Yunzhong City before. One of them seemed to be Bai Qi. King Zuoxian began to doubt the identities of Wang Mang and others.

"The central government has temporarily stopped the invasion of Yunzhong City, but various scouts and spies are constantly rushing towards Yunzhong City. It seems that they want to find out the identity of General Bai Qi." Meng Tian stood in front of Wang Mang and whispered: " General Bai Qi beheaded 40 enemy troops one after another, which seemed to frighten them."

Thinking of Bai Qi beheading 40 prairie warriors, Meng Tian still can't believe it. He guarded Yunzhong City for many years, and he didn't add up that Bai Qi killed many people in this day. Sure enough, he only chose the wrong name, not the wrong one. It is absolutely no problem to put the name of Killing God on Bai Qi's head.

Wang Mang knew that Zuo Xianwang would not continue to be impulsive after he had suffered successively. It is normal to investigate Bai Qi's identity and even investigate his own identity. After thinking about it, Wang Mang said: "Maybe find out what those scouts have detected? "

"Our people are densely packed outside the city, and none of Zuo Xianwang's people can get through." Speaking of this, Meng Tian couldn't help feeling admiration for Cheng Bushi. This Cheng Bushi was really good at defense. But in one day, the defense of the entire Yunzhong City has increased by more than [-]%, which is almost perfect in Meng Tian's view.

Wang Mang said, "Is there any change in the city?"

"Everything looks normal." Meng Tian said.

"Everything is normal?" Wang Mang frowned, and said: "It seems abnormal, now is a time of war, even if the people in Yunzhongcheng are warriors who are not afraid of death, Yunzhongcheng will never be calm, it seems The calm hides the storm."

Meng Tian said softly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the entire Yunzhong City is under the control of me and Lord Feng Tang, even if there are a few fish in it that want to get out of the waves, it is absolutely impossible."

"No." Wang Mang shook his head and said, "If these waves are not allowed to come out, maybe they will give us a fatal blow at the most critical moment."

"So what does His Majesty plan to do?" Meng Tian asked.

"I can't hide the news from Cloud City for long. After all, everyone in Cloud City knows that the grassland may not get news from Cloud City for the time being, but it will soon get news from other channels. Instead of this, why not Send this news to them." Wang Mang said coldly, "But this news can't be given away for nothing, you have to catch a few big fish."

"I understand." Meng Tian's eyes lit up, and he said: "I'm going to discuss with Master Feng Tang to see how to maximize the value of this news, I'm a warrior, and I can't always compare with those literati in terms of brains. "

Can a literati know how to calculate?
Wang Mang smiled in his heart, knowing that Meng Tian was nailing Feng Tang, but he didn't know the real relationship between Wang Mang and Feng Tang tomorrow. It was really a wrong idea, but Wang Mang also knew that Meng Tian was not malicious, but just a defensive method Forget it, he was preventing Feng Tang from giving him eye drops.

However, these Wang Mang will not ask too much, as the emperor can not intervene casually in the struggle among the courtiers, otherwise how to maintain the mystery of the emperor, just intervene at the critical moment, let them know who is the real caller That's it.

After Bai Qi found Feng Tang, the two discussed it for a while, and finally called Cheng Bushi to discuss it again. The three of them were all extremely intelligent people, and they quickly discussed a plan to lure the snake out of the hole. It was foolproof, and finally Meng Tian arranges for Meng Yi to carry out specific implementation. After all, Meng Yi is young and has a special status. Many things are done by Meng Yi, which seems more real.

"My lord, there is news!"

In the big tent of King Zuo Xian, a general held a letter and reported with a smile on his face.

"What news?" King Zuo Xian's eyes lit up.

"Does Your Majesty know who is in Yunzhong City now?" The general said loudly, "Our background in Yunzhong City has news that the emperor of Great Qin, Wang Mang, is currently in Yunzhong City."

"What, the Emperor of Qin is in Cloud City?" Yi Jiang said with a look of shock on his face: "Why is the Emperor Qin in Cloud City? Don't the people in the Central Plains say that the emperor does not go to court? Could this news be false?"

"No, two letters came one after another. Even if one of them is fake, the other one must be true. Both letters say that Emperor Qin is in Yunzhong City. This must be true."

When a group of people were discussing the news about Emperor Qin's stay in Yunzhong City in Zuo Xianwang's big tent, Meng Tian and Feng Tang personally led a few teams to surround the courtyards of the two major households in Yunzhong City.
