Songshan, in the grass house meditation room.

Shangguan Wan'er first finished reading a long letter written by Chen Xian'er, and then carefully opened the bamboo secret letter handed by Princess Taiping. After translating, she couldn't help but change her expression slightly, and hurriedly ran outside the meditation room and shouted, "Master, Wan'er has something to ask for." ”

Wu Ming's figure appeared under a towering pine tree and walked slowly. From Shangguan Wan'er to Caolu, that big tree became Wu Ming's new home. Shangguan Wan'er often saw him sitting cross-legged on the canopy of the tree to participate in meditation, not sheltering from wind and frost, rain and snow, and often sitting for a whole day and night, which is really amazing.

"Mrs. Shangguan, do you have any questions?"

"Wan'er dove occupies the magpie's nest, and invites the master's Zen room to serve tea."

The two entered the meditation room and sat down, Shangguan Wan'er made tea for Wu Ming, directly showed the two letters to Wu Ming, and then asked, "Zong Chuke and Wu Sansi really failed." Or the master is visionary. ”

"It's not a vision, it's just a human being." Wu Ming said, "Zong Chuke and Wu Sansi, with small wisdom but no great virtue, it is difficult to become a climate after all. There are still loyalists above the court, how can they be completely defeated by Wu Sansi and Zong Chuke easily. Of course, the most important thing is that if Xue Gong doesn't return to the court for a day, they won't be able to hurt Xue Gong for a day. This is a dead disease, even the God Emperor can't cure it, Wu Sansi and others, how can he de? ”

Shangguan Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "The princess ordered me to suspend everything. Does the master also feel that Wan'er is a little impatient and reckless this time? ”

"Hurry or slow, each has its own reason." Wu Ming said, "But the matter at the moment is still to be the princess's head." If the pace inside and outside the palace is different, it is like a fellow army fighting a war, and the command is chaotic, and it is nothing more than a way to defeat. ”

"The master is wise, and Wan'er is taught." Shangguan Wan'er bowed her hands.

"Mrs. Shangguan, is there anything else?"

Shangguan Wan'er hesitated for a moment and said, "What does the master think is the intention of the princess to stay still?" ”

"The poor monk thinks that although the current situation is dangerous, it is probably not dangerous." Wu Ming said, "Although Xue Gong is newly defeated, he has neither died nor returned to the dynasty with his guilt, which means that he may still turn defeat into victory." No matter how difficult it is, it is an opportunity for Xue Gong to grasp. The poor monk has never seen a person who is as good at grasping fighters as Xue Gong and creating miracles of soldiers. ”

"Wan'er also thought that she should trust her husband." Shangguan Wan'er said, "But we can't put everything on his shoulders alone. Wan'er always thought that she could share a thing or two for him. ”

"Madame forgives the sin, the poor monk said bluntly: There are some things that you really can't share." Wu Ming said bluntly, "At this point, the poor monk agrees with Princess Taiping's approach and waits for changes. ”

"What if ......"

Of course, Wu Ming knew what she wanted to say, smiled indifferently, and replied: "Even if Xue Gong is defeated in the end, as long as he can come back alive, he is still the number one general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he can still lead the military of the dynasty." ”

"Oh?" Shangguan Wan'er was a little surprised.

"Mrs. Shangguan, you should have thought of it a long time ago." Wu Ming smiled and said: "The person that the God Emperor is jealous of is nothing more than Xue Gong's prestige and great merit, and no one in the court can compare with him." If Xue Gong was defeated and returned from a great weakness, wouldn't he have fallen into the hands of the God Emperor? - Don't forget, the God Emperor is a sober king after all, she will be jealous of Xue Gong and will suppress Xue Gong, but she will never give up Xue Gong completely. Otherwise, who else could she rely on to balance the power of Wu Sansi and the crown prince? ”

"In vain, I have accompanied the God Emperor for many years, and I have even neglected this layer!" Shangguan Wan'er suddenly realized, "Wan'er, I'm really ashamed!" Ashamed! Shame on you! ”

"The poor monk is a bystander, and Mrs. Shangguan is in the bureau and cares about it, so she doesn't have to blame herself." Wu Ming smiled and said, "The death of King Shao has made the East Palace and Zhang Yi's situation go hand in hand. The poor monk was sure that what the Divine Emperor was most afraid of now was not Xue Gong, who was thousands of miles away, but the crown prince who was close at hand. ”

"Hearing the master's advice, Wan'er suddenly opened." Shangguan Wan'er said, "Actually, right now, if Wu Sansi is smart enough, he should go to unite with the prince and Qingjun to attack Zhang Yizhi." If he was a little smarter, he should have asked the prince to come forward and invite the people from Princess Taiping's Mansion to discuss matters together. In this way, almost half of the imperial court will respond positively. But Wu Sansi actually pointed the spearhead at Captain Xue, who was thousands of miles away to lead the army, which was really beyond his strength. At present, not only did he fail to bring down Taiwei Xue, but he also drew his sword with Yao Yuanchong and Song Jing and others to set up a strong enemy. Wu Sansi is just a fool after all, and he can't make a big deal out of it. ”

The poor monk guessed that Wu Sansi's stupidity would not last long. Today's court meeting should be able to sober him up. Wu Ming said, "Even if he is not sober, someone will definitely wake him up." ”

Shangguan Wan'er was such a smart person, and reacted immediately, "What does the master mean that the people of the East Palace will make some moves?" ”

"Crazy hatred will make people feel reckless."

"Princess Wei?" Shangguan Wan'er was slightly startled.

This woman should not be underestimated. Wu Ming said, "Not to mention how talented she is, she definitely doesn't lack guts." ”

"So what should we do?"

"The princess will decide."

Shangguan Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed her hands very humbly, "Wan'er thanks Master for his teachings." ”

……

At the mouth of the black sand moraine, the heavy rain for days finally stopped.

The Turks launched a massive night attack, and finally a group of men attacked the high moraine walls. Xue Shaozeng sent a jumping army to help in the battle, and only then did he beat them back.

It's no secret that Zhou Jun wasn't very good at night fighting. The people of the Central Plains, who have always eaten cereals as their staple food, are prone to night blindness due to nutritional imbalance (lack of vitamin A) when the dietary conditions are not very good. The grassland people eat meat as the staple food, and there is basically no defect in this regard. Although Xue Shao has always attached great importance to this issue since he commanded the army, it has not been completely solved due to objective material conditions.

Under the night battle, the combat strength of the Zhou army was reduced, and the losses were quite heavy after a bloody battle, and the city pass was almost lost.

After this battle, the hearts of all the generals were clouded. There are now only half of the previous forces left in the Black Sand City, and the Turks are still increasing their forces every day. How long can you keep fighting like this? - How about the retreat?

The generals had just had a hint of withdrawal in their hearts, and Xue Shao suddenly gave an order: "Withdraw!" ”

The whole army was stunned, what is this Xue Rentu's combat style?

But an order is an order, and the Zhou army abandoned the city as fast as possible, and most of the grain and grass were abandoned in the city.

The Turks, who had just tasted a hint of victory, soon launched the next round of night raids and sieges. But unexpectedly, there was only a neat banner left above the city head of the moraine, and all the soldiers of the Zhou army were gone.

The "empty city plan effect" is highlighted here, and the Turkic generals did not dare to attack the city without authorization, and hurriedly reported the military situation to the Tunyu Valley.

Tunyugu was also quite surprised when he heard it. With his understanding of Xue Shao, he would never give up Heisha without fighting to the last soldier, and the bloody battle of the past few days had already proved this. But at the same time, he is also very aware of Xue Shao's deceitful use of troops, and all kinds of whimsical and crooked tricks are simply unguardable.

So Tunyugu and the people around him began all kinds of big conjectures-

"Will he bury big mines in the city again, just like he did in Yinchuan?"

"Previously, he also had the Fuyuan Giant Crossbow to throw explosive mines to help in the battle, but then it decreased sharply day by day, and now it is extremely rare or even seen again, presumably his big explosive mines have been used up. In addition, the heavy rain has accumulated water everywhere, and the fire-causing things such as heavy explosions and thunder will be affected. His tactic of burying mines in the ground will be difficult to achieve. ”

"Does he want to set up an ambush and surround in Black Sand City, and play a trick to close the door and beat the dog?"

"The pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is the best policy to defend the pass to the death. With Xue Shao's little strength, abandoning the city pass and changing to street battles or field battles is too self-sufficient. This kind of stupid tactics of abandoning strengths and learning from weaknesses is definitely not Xue Shao's way of using troops. ”

"In the battle last night, the Zhou army's inability to succeed has shown decline. Today, the troops are increased and the battle is renewed, and our army has a great hope of breaking through the moraine. Thinking about it like this, could it be that Xue Shao really withdrew his troops and fled to Yanmen to set up defenses? ”

The Turks quarreled for half a night and did not come to a conclusion. In the end, it had to be the Tun Desire Valley who made the decision in person, and took the moraine to enter the city to explore, which was far better than guessing for three days and three nights.

As a result, the Turks finally took the moraine and attacked the city.

But after entering the city pass, no one dared to move. The shadow left by the Yinchuan explosion and the death of the Nuozhen Water Flame Horse still haunts the hearts of every Turkic person.

Helplessly, the general issued a death order, and the Turkic soldiers had no choice but to muster up the courage and cautiously enter the Black Sand City. One by one, they are like little daughters-in-law who come out in the middle of the night to cheat, and every step is terrified. Immediately afterwards, Shangfeng came with another order to let them dig three feet into the ground to check for the big explosion mine. Now it was lively, and the Turkic soldiers, who had barely planted the fields, built the earth with their backs to the loess facing the sky, and they were in full swing.

It took two days and two nights for the Turks to finally determine one thing - there were no major explosions and mines in the city of Black Sand, neither the Zhou army was ambushed, but only the countless military assets left behind by their hasty retreat. Xue Ne's savings from operating here for many years, Xue Shao's family wealth brought from Yinchuan Juntun, and Yu Hongye's wealth earned from the border field...... Added up, the riches rival the country!

Grain and wine, salt, dried meat, silk and tea, military uniforms, armor, cattle, sheep and horses, gold, silver, jewelry, jade, piled up like a mountain is maddening!

"Rob!"

"If you don't grab it now, wait for when!"

"Desperately trying, isn't this the picture!"

The first batch of Turkic soldiers who bravely entered the Black Sand City have made a lot of money, and they are all going to make money and cry!

When the news reached the rear, the Turkic "sharks", who had long been hungry and thirsty, could not calm down - "Rush! ”

Almost all the Turkic soldiers rushed to the Black Sand City, to the wealth of the Central Plains that they had always dreamed of!

If things are abnormal, there must be demons, and the heart of Lust Valley is always unsolid. He always felt that there was a large, invisible hand, desperately dragging his army into Black Sand City. But he couldn't think of any good reason to stop the soldiers from rushing at the insane booty.

On Liansheng Mountain, Xue Shao used his telescope to look at the Black Sand City in the distance for a while, then turned his head to Helian Guchuan and asked, "How are you in the water?" ”

"The people of Hongmen are very good in water."

"And did you ever like winter swimming?"

Helian Guchuan smiled, "There were people who threw me into the river of ice slag. ”

"And then?"

"I killed his whole family."

"Then the Turks should really taste the taste of winter swimming!" Xue Shao laughed, "It's time, find a way to fuck the fuck!" ”
