Xia do not stay

Chapter 286 Rushuang Breaks into the Army
I saw a line of beautiful handwriting written on the note.

"Two days later, the city will be attacked, and the three temple commanders will all arrive. The formation of the witch gods is invincible, so run away!"

Gu Yang looked at this line, although it was short, it revealed a lot of important information. The first is that Ebony Art will launch a large-scale attack on Youzhou City in two days, the second is that three grandmasters will come, and the third is that they may be proficient Array.

For Youzhou City, this is outright bad news.

Without hesitation, he went back immediately and saw the prefect Cao Song and others who were still waiting on the top of the city. Everyone was relieved to see Gu Yang return safely.

"Gu Daxia, are you injured?"

Gu Yang shook his head and said, "I found some news."

He told Cao Song the content of the note, but Cao Song was puzzled after hearing this: "No, Wu Xinglie took a hundred thousand barbarians and all the barbarian masters except Ebony to Xuzhou to confront the King of Qin. If suddenly Hurry up, it's impossible for Xuzhou to be unaware?"

This is indeed a suspicious point. In addition, Wu Xinglie took away most of the main force of the barbarians. It was obvious that he wanted to storm Xuzhou and compete with Qin Xiao. It was impossible to transfer all the masters to Youzhou at a critical moment.

"Gu Daxia, did the person who gave you this news... have ulterior motives?"

Gu Yang thought for a while, and said: "She doesn't seem to be lying to me. If the news above is true, it means that maybe everyone in the world was deceived by Wu Xinglie. He put on the posture of going to fight Xuzhou. In fact, His real goal is Youzhou!"

There was a chill behind Yang Lie, and he said: "But from the military point of view, Youzhou is far less important than Xuzhou. There are three major towns there, and it is closer to the capital. Even if he takes Youzhou, there are still many mountains in the north. Blocking is not conducive to the cavalry's performance."

Gu Yang suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said in a concentrated voice: "What if... his purpose is not to fight for world hegemony at all?"

Cao Song and the others were taken aback for a moment.

……

Xuzhou city.

This majestic city has recently attracted the attention of people all over the world. Troops from various prefectures have been transferred to it one after another. Qingzhou Modao Battalion, Beijing Forbidden Army, and the mighty Liangzhou Iron Cavalry, plus the [-] Xuanjia Army of the King of Qin, all of a sudden The wind and cloud gathered, and the spirit of war stirred the sky.

The 40 troops all obeyed Qin Xiao's order, which was absolutely unimaginable in normal times, but now almost no one opposed it, just because his opponent was Wu Xinglie.

The man who almost won the world left a deep impression on those veterans. Only Qin Xiao can resist Wu Xinglie. This is the consensus of countless people.

Of course, there were also people who asked His Majesty to go out to fight, but Zhao Wuji refused, and retreated more frequently instead.

In a tent somewhere in the Xuzhou military camp.

A figure stood with hands behind her back, wearing a platinum robe, quietly looking at the chessboard, she didn't speak, but she had the aura of a grand master, making people around her dare not take a breath.

Some young generals looked sideways frequently, looking at her with a trace of admiration and admiration in their eyes.

"Xu Kai."

"The end is here!"

The young generals whose names she called out stepped forward with excited expressions.

Qin Rushuang said indifferently: "How is the reconnaissance situation today?"

Xu Kai laughed and said, "His Royal Highness, judging by the amount of cooking smoke, everything is the same as before. That old guy Wu Xinglie probably only dared to surround Xuzhou City because he saw how tall and strong it was, and he didn't dare to fight."

The rest of the people laughed when they heard this.

Another general said: "Let them surround us. Anyway, the weather is getting colder and colder. Let's wait for them to eat up all the rations. The more we delay this battle, the better it will be for us!"

They are all young generals, they have not experienced the battle of the year, and they always look down on Wu Xinglie who is said to be a god.

Qin Rushuang frowned and said, "No."

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

She looked at everyone, her eyes were like knives, and no one could look directly at them.

"Wu Xinglie is the leader of the army. Why doesn't he understand that cooking smoke will reveal the strength of the army? It's just a day or two. If it's like this every day, it must be weird!"

She said firmly: "What you see is what he wants you to see!"

Without the slightest hesitation, she walked out of the military tent.

"Take three thousand Liangzhou cavalry and follow me to find out."

"Your Highness, no, it's dangerous!"

A handsome general stopped in front of Qin Rushuang's horse and tried his best to dissuade him.

Qin Rushuang raised the reins, and the horse raised its front hooves abruptly, neighing, and scared the man back again and again.

"I am the eldest daughter of the King of Qin, General Yunhui appointed by His Majesty, anyone who dares to disobey the military order, beheaded!"

……

In the past two days, rumors have spread everywhere in Youzhou City, and people are panicking.

I don't know who first spread the word, saying that the barbarian army outside the city is about to attack the city, and there are still four grandmasters in the formation!

Although Cao Song led people to preach everywhere, it was still difficult to calm people's hearts.

"Master Taishou, those are the four masters, can Gu Daxia stop them?"

"That's right, it's not that we don't believe in Gu Daxia, it's true that he is fourth with one, does he have a chance of winning?"

"Where's the reinforcements from the imperial court? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

"I heard that there are 60 barbarians. My God, can this be defended?"

Many people couldn't bear the panic in their hearts and asked one after another.

Cao Song was also unsure, but on the surface he acted confident and reassured, but when the crowd dispersed, he suddenly let out a long sigh, looking more tired than ever.

These days, according to reports from scouts, there are more and more barbarians outside the city, and the number of barbarians is obviously increasing.

This also means that what Gu Daxia said is very likely to be true!
It's just that Cao Song couldn't figure it out. If Wu Xinglie was really transferring troops, how could King Qin find out?
But so far, he has not received any news from Xuzhou at all...

As he thought about it, he walked under the city wall, looked up and saw the white robe, and his heart finally settled down a little.

Gu Yang had already stood at the top of the city overnight.

Cao Song sighed: "Fortunately, Gu Daxia is still there. As long as he is still there, Youzhou still has hope!"

……

Outside the city of Xuzhou.

Qin Rushuang led [-] Liangzhou iron cavalry, and defeated the barbarian troops defending the periphery like a bamboo. However, no more barbarians flooded in, but their numbers became fewer and fewer.

She looked at the densely packed kang on the ground, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, as expected.

The so-called siege of Xuzhou is just Wu Xinglie's bluff. He is building the plank road openly and keeping the warehouse in secret!

But what did he like in Youzhou?
For a moment, the map of the entire Youzhou flashed in her mind, and finally stayed in a certain place.

She opened her eyes suddenly, as if there was a flash of electricity.

Without any hesitation, she flew away and quickly broke into the main tent of the Xuzhou military camp.

A middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life was looking at the map of Youzhou. He was wearing golden armor and a scarlet cloak was dragged to the ground. His eyes were firm and sharp like a goshawk.

"Father, we have been tricked!"

Qin Rushuang broke in and hurriedly said, "Luokoucang, his real goal is Luokoucang!"

Qin Xiao turned his back to her, did not turn around, a trace of relief appeared in his eyes, and then disappeared.

"I see."

He said lightly, and at the same time pointed to the location of the Luokou warehouse.

"There is more than half of Youzhou's autumn harvest grain hidden here, which is enough to supply the entire Wu Kingdom for several years. With the grain here, it is not a problem to survive the winter."

"Father, Youzhou must not be lost. I will rush over there now with light work. Father can quickly dispatch the cavalry!"

Qin Xiao suddenly said: "Gu Yang is also in Youzhou."

(Thanks for the matcha half sugar deiced and boba for the reward, love it!)
