Misty rain and heavy flowers accompany the king's return

"Queen Mother, the poems circulating in the capital are very unfavorable to us recently, do you think?" Ta Tachen, the current patriarch of the Tata clan, asked cautiously.

"Has there been any movement with that bastard recently?" Queen Mother Tata asked while lying on the armchair.

"That's not true. He went to the Holy Land with the national teacher, saying that he was concentrating on recuperating." Ta Tachen said.

"Hmph, recuperating, you must be planning something!" The Queen Mother Tata said: "Spread the news that Emperor Qianyuan is dead as predicted by the national teacher."

"This? Your Majesty knows about this matter, won't you tell it?" Ta Tachen said worriedly.

Queen Mother Tata lazily said: "What about what Maya said? Do you really think you are a god? Gods are all created by humans. He has achieved great things for the Tata family, so he is worthy of our family's Matar plain."

"Yes, the Empress Dowager's command is like the water of the Matar River, flowing to the end of Venus." Tatachen said.

"Tell Tata Yegang, no matter what, he is the most important thing. Let people go to the southwest to negotiate with Shen Luo, and go there with great fanfare. If they don't come to replace King De and King Qi, we will kill them. I want to see How will Shen Luo deal with it?"

"Yes!" Ta Tachen backed out in awe.

"The mission is coming?" Shen Luo closed his eyes slightly: "Come to the mission at this time, I'm afraid it will cause trouble for me."

"Then go and kill them, I'm good at this kind of thing." The leader of Qinghua hurriedly said.

"Really?" Shen Luo was curious: "I didn't expect the leader to be a robber before!"

"Ah, whoever has been a robber, I kindly help you get rid of them without anyone noticing." The leader of Qinghua said.

Shen Luo waved his hand: "They still don't come here anymore, they actually want to come to discuss peace. If there is nothing good to say, just start fighting."

"Shoot directly?" The ten-hearted sweetheart was curious: "Isn't your policy consistent at every step?"

"Of course, when it's time to hit the backhand, scare them."

"But, won't you lose your morals?" Ten Hearts Sweetheart couldn't help asking,

"Of course not." Shen Luo stood up, "If my army was in Tuna and I negotiated peace with them, then I would be ashamed to use the word "negotiate peace". We have already called the door, so what else can we talk about. "

"Well, it's your character, it's full of gangsters." The leader of Qinghua couldn't help but praised.

Before the peace talks, the southwest infantry started a large-scale and orderly counterattack with the help of favorable terrain. A large number of migrant workers and civilians were mobilized to build camps.

The Tuna army was annoyed, and when they wanted to fight back, they immediately retreated, leaving ravines, traps, and wooden fences to prevent the Tuna cavalry from performing.

Shen Luo thought this was called Yibu Yaoqi, but the leader of Qinghua gave a more appropriate name, "Mosquito Strategy." '

"It's like a mosquito, sucking blood everywhere, making people hard to guard against, and itchy skin." The leader of Qinghua said with a smile, but opened a door for Shen Luo.

"Order the whole army to divide ten elite forward teams, mainly sharp archers, with every 3000 people in a team. Relying on the favorable terrain and mountains, the forward team will harass the enemy army and shoot and kill the enemy cavalry. Stop harassing the other party.” Shen Luo said at the meeting of military generals: “It is necessary to make the enemy’s troops restless, and at the same time, I must continue to build a camp and advance, and must push it to the city of Yunzhou in mid-August. .”

"What if the enemy launches an attack in advance?" A general asked.

"In the northwest, King Luo's coalition forces have already entered the Luotong Plain. The hinterland of Tuna is in danger. The army of Tuna is now exhausted, and they are all defending the large granary of the Luotong Plain." Shen Luo picked up the battle report from the northwest. Speaking of.

"However, the Southwest is mainly the main force of the Tata family, and we have to guard against them." Cathay Pacific, who was transferred from the Northwest, said.

"Their main force is cavalry. Is there enough pasture in the southwest of me?" Shen Luo asked curiously.

"I'm afraid it's too much, but some tribes in Tuna have the habit of harvesting fodder." Cathay said: "We retreated at the front and cleared the fields. They were surprised. If it wasn't summer, there was forage on the mountain, and it would be even more difficult for them. .”

Shen Luo thought of something, didn't say much, and nodded: "In short, we must follow the established plan, get Prince Qi out as soon as possible, so we can use it."

"Yes!" All the generals stood up and responded.

"The other party didn't even talk about it, so it's troublesome." Tata Yechang called the generals to discuss.

He Na Dongming said: "This Taifu Shen is an extremely proud person, he talks and does things like this, when I first went to see him, he waited for me for a few days before seeing me.

"It stands to reason that such a person should not be so cautious in character? Could it be that he has expert staff?" Tata Yegang said.

"Looking at how many games he fought with us in the west of the Luotong Plain last time, it can be seen that this man knows people well, otherwise how can he command military officers as a civil servant!" Tataye often said.

"But right now, he doesn't talk to us, and even killed all the spies we developed. This method is ruthless, and it is not easy to deal with." General Tata said.

"Everything that people eat is easy to manage, but it is troublesome to keep transporting fodder and beans." Tata Yegang said.

"How about our salt tea?" Tataye often asked.

"Not so good!" Tata Yegang shook his head: "The road to the southwest is cut off, and the price on the black market in the northwest has increased several times. It will be terrible if this continues."

"Your Majesty doesn't know what to think, but you have to support us just for the sake of salt and tea. Otherwise, wouldn't all the money in the country flow into the hands of black market merchants like water." Tata Yechang said with a sigh.

"The people of Dafeng are farming, so we can afford it. We will be in trouble, and we can't drag it on." Tata Ye just made up his mind and said.

"Ye Gang is right, we can't delay!" Ta Ta Chen, the patriarch of the Tata tribe, walked in from outside the tent.

"Patriarch!" All the generals put their shoulders together and saluted.

"The Empress Dowager has an order that if Shen Luo refuses to negotiate a peace agreement, he will attack Yun Zhou violently until he is in pain." Ta Tachen said.

"Yes!"

"When I first arrived in Xiyun to dial the blue sky, and then went to the south of Xiyun Town, Long Live is No. 1 in front of me, Wei Tu opens the frontier and settles in Shenzhou!" This nursery rhyme was passed down by the people in the southwest, and Rong Xiaotang was in charge of it. role.

"When the army arrives and the divine soldiers come out, the Tuna demon queen will definitely cry. When the grand master arrives and the divine phoenix comes out, the tuna flying eagle will cry too!"

"The people below you are simply gods. Now Dafeng even a three-year-old child can know this nursery rhyme. Not to mention, even the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army are given food to them on the street. It is a scene of military and civilian integration. It's not easy!" The leader of Qinghua likes the food in the Southwest, especially some fried bugs, and he is simply fascinated.

Going to the street every day is called to inquire about public opinion for Shen Luo, but in fact it is to eat snacks along the street.

"Sometimes, the direction of public opinion is much more important than clear swords." Shen Luo glanced at him.

Cathay Pacific came running: "My lord, the Tuna army is attacking Yunzhou madly."

"Oh?" Shen Luo thought for a while: "It's also a reasonable thing, but it hasn't rained for a long time. I think the Tuna Army is looking for some trouble."

"What does asking for trouble have to do with it not raining?" Cathay Pacific asked curiously.

"It's so humid in the southwest, and many people in our army are seriously ill due to the humidity, let alone them!" Shen Luo said: "If you want to fight, you have to use some dirty tricks."

"Okay, it's not you if you don't play dirty tricks!" The leader of Qinghua clapped his hands, causing Guotai and the others to feel ashamed.

Shen Luo looked at the map: "Go up from Tongji County. There are many mountains and forests there. The southwest wind is just facing them. You bring an army of [-] to burn the mountains and let the smoke go away."

"Burning the mountain?" Cathay was taken aback: "This mountain is full of dense forests, what should we do if we can't control the fire?"

"Don't worry, there is a basin ahead. If the Tuna people want to survive, they have to fight the fire honestly. Let them fight the fire for us!" Shen Luo said.

"This Xihe County is opposite the river. A big bay comes here. First, burn the mountains on the other side, smoke them, and force their people to the other side of the river." Shen Luo pointed to the map: "We need to find the place where their commander is stationed. , just do a surprise attack!"

"Ambush Commander, they have 50 people?" Cathay Pacific looked at the map: "The army in front is all piled up together. At that time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to use it!"

"Of course you can't, isn't there a leader?" Shen Luo said.

"Ah?" The leader of Qinghua pointed at himself: "Me?"

"Nonsense, Nie Xingfeng is not here, who else will you go to?" Shen Luo looked at him.

"Okay, but isn't your priest's guard here?" Qing Hua said.

"The priests don't kill, they stop the enemy." Shen Luo gave him a white look: "Is there a problem, leader?"

"Okay!" The leader of Qinghua nodded: "Anyway, the murder will be blamed on you and Shen Bai."

The mountain fires in the southwest burned the mountains, and in the night, the red flames burned the sky red, and the crimson of the southwest can be seen from far away in the city.

Citing Wenhao stood in Yunzhou and watched: "A Luo is really capable of doing it, and even burned the mountain!"

"It's probably to prepare for quickly seizing the position. If the Tuna cavalry is not burned to death, they will also be smoked to death." Liu Er said.

"We need to be careful about the defense here. In addition, we need to send people to watch the well water, and be careful of spies." Citing Wenhao is worried about the safety of Yunzhou. If it hadn't been blocked several times, Yunzhou would have been difficult to stop the enemy's attack. .

"The enemy's attack is fierce, we have to prepare early!" Liu'er said.

"Organize everyone in the city and try to defend the four walls." Ci Wenhao looked at the mountain fire: "I have written all the death letters, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

Liu'er looked at him, hesitated to speak.

"The valley in front, one is called Ziwu Valley and the other is called Xieyu Valley, both of which are good places to garrison Tibetan soldiers. Moreover, the two valleys are surrounded by green hills, and there are waterfalls, so they are cool places." The leader of Qinghua said .

"Should we send someone to investigate first?" Ten Hearts Sweetheart asked.

"No need, no matter what, there are people here. If there is no handsome tent, continue to burn and burn out from here." Shen Luo said.

"Tsk tsk, you are going to burn the southwestern part of the north into barren land, how many lives will you have to burn to death!" the leader of Qinghua clicked his tongue and said.

Shen Luo sighed: "If I have a way, why should I do this. If I don't plug this gap right now, Prince Qi's death in battle will be small, and if there is a loss in the southwest, it will be a disaster for tens of millions of people."

"Teacher is right, refugees are more terrifying than wars," Sweetheart Ten Hearts said.

In the evening, Shen Luo looked at the dozens of men in black in the yard.

"This is?" I couldn't help asking the leader of Qinghua.

"I teach in the Southwest branch. Priests don't kill people. I alone can't kill people. You think our family owns a butcher shop, and I'm a butcher!" The leader of Qinghua said disdainfully.

Shen Luo let out a long breath: "I'm sorry!"

"Don't!" The leader of Qinghua raised his hand: "Let's talk about the price first. My brothers are all opening a store in the southwest. If we go down here and work hard, no matter whether we live or die, what compensation will we get when we come back?"

"What is the leader?" Shen Luo asked with a smile while hugging his shoulders.

"Salt tea business, my brothers get a share, this is a good way to live, Lu Yin you give special approval!" Knowing that Shen Luo has great power, the leader of Qinghua said bluntly.

Shen Luo nodded: "That's all, that's fine. I thought you wanted me to pay one husband to the injured and unmarried!"

"You know how to make jokes, okay!" The leader of Qinghua couldn't help but said in admiration, Shen Luo had a very good quality in his heart, and was deeply influenced by Emperor Qianyuan's strategizing.

Watching them leave with the priest guard, Shen Luo asked his sweetheart to go back and sit down: "They are busy, we just have to wait."

Back in the study, Shen Luo looked at the bronze models of soldiers and horses on the map one by one, thinking about it.

Keep placing the copper fortress in various positions.

"Are you worried!" Ten Hearts Sweetheart asked.

"How do you know?" Shen Luo asked back.

"Because you're in a panic!" The sweetheart of ten hearts didn't look at him, and closed her eyes slightly to rest.

"It's a little bit, I always feel that the Tata family, with 700 million people, has more than a little back!" Shen Luo said.

"The most difficult thing for you is that half of your allies in Tuna are standing still and not even doing support." Ten Hearts Sweetheart said: "Although they have disturbed their hearts, the effect has not yet been seen."

"Yes, only a big defeat ahead can have the most direct impact on Tuna." Shen Luo said.

"Do you know why there is no big breakthrough in the Northwest?" Sweetheart Ten Hearts opened her eyes and looked at him and said.

"Appreciate further details."

"Because the main force in the northwest is the Tuna clan, they are clearly dealing with your two fists. You don't want the enemy to drive straight in, so why would they want you to go straight in?"

Shen Luo had a thoughtful expression: "But if I don't attack, the southwest frontier will be in danger."

"But you attacked in the northwest, and the situation in the southwest has not changed. You have created a stage for others to compete and claim credit. Whoever wins may become the winner in Tuna."

"Then what should we do?" Shen Luo was surprised.

"I bet that the royal family of Tuna has no intention of fighting with your Northwest Army. You go back and have a look. Maybe the west of Luotong Plain will be safe and sound from now on." Ten Hearts Venerable suggested.

"What if it can't?" Shen Luo was taken aback.

"You are wooing ethnic minorities to fight against Tuna's rule. They don't care much about Tuna, but they care about their doorstep."

"The Venerable Master sees it very clearly!" Shen Luo sighed.

"No, you just mistakenly thought that the opponents had split, but you didn't expect what they had in common!"

"They share the mountains and rivers of Tuna!" Shen Luo said with emotion.
