Xiao Wu sent people to call Tian Ben and Yuan Zongling. They must cooperate in this matter, and they must ensure that on that night, their two generals will not be assassinated and beheaded by the monks of the Chu State.

The two came to the hall to clasp their fists and salute, and when they saw Xiao Wu meditating, they stood quietly and waited.

Xiao Wu was constantly deliberating on the step-by-step plan, he didn't know anything about military affairs, but since he became a monk, his thinking ability was much stronger than before, and he had to repeatedly weigh the contrast between strength and weakness, to compare the possibilities of various practices.

Tian Ben was okay, he was just a fierce general, Xiao Wu called them but didn't speak, he just waited quietly next to him.

But Yuan Zongling is different, at this time, the Chu army is attacking the city very tightly, although his city wall defense is firm, but he is not in the city, after all, he feels not at ease. At this time, he kept rubbing his hands, and there was an anxious look on his face. A few times I wanted to stop talking, and then I forced myself to calm down.

Xiao Wu let out a long sigh, "When I talk about the two of you today, I must keep it a secret!

The two of them looked straight and clasped their fists together, "Yes." ”

"There are at least five monks in the Chu army, and two nights later, we will assassinate our generals. Xiao Wu said solemnly.

When the two of them heard this, their faces showed a little anxiety. Yuan Zongling said, "Generalissimo, do you need to take refuge for a while?"

Xiao Wu shook his head, "My father once told me that in the past, the most I could do in the army was a monk who assassinated the commander. Now the five monks," Xiao Wu took a deep breath, "that is to say, the three of you and me, and perhaps more generals, are among the assassins. ”

The faces of the two changed in unison.

But just in an instant, Tian Ben smiled and said, "Haha, I didn't expect to be a soldier all my life and get such an honor." ”

Yuan Zongling said, "Five monks, you can kill twenty or thirty generals of our army overnight!" He sighed deeply again, "The marshal and the crown prince should leave immediately, otherwise, I am afraid of heavy losses." ”

Xiao Wu looked at the two of them steadily, wanting to interpret their true thoughts from their faces.

Yuan Zongling was much stronger than his own military councilors, killing thirty high-ranking generals overnight, and even the steel army would be defeated.

And both of them said that they wanted him to leave quickly, is their loyalty to the Xiao family and to the Great Song really to the extent that they can ignore life and death?

Tian Ben is really not afraid, and after adjusting his mentality, he can already face it calmly.

And just now, Yuan Zongling's face turned slightly pale, obviously saying that letting Xiao Wu and the crown prince leave, there was no choice for him. He knew that if he left, the army would collapse. Even though he was a little selfish, Yuan Zongling still chose his army in the end. Maybe it's generosity after having no choice, but this is also human nature, and it is a limited degree of loyalty that Xiao Wu can accept.

Xiao Wu smiled slightly, stood up and walked to the two of them, and then bowed and saluted, "My Xiao family has the protection of the two, I am grateful!"

The two hurriedly returned the salute. Tian Ben's face was emotional, while Yuan Zongling was slightly miserable. Is this the final buying of people's hearts? Neither of them is a fool, and if they were fools, they would not be attracted by Xiao Zicheng as a confidant.

But he listened to Xiao Wudao, "This is the first time I have led the army, and the southwest border army is also the last elite of my Xiao family." ”

Xiao Wu took a deep breath and said slowly, "I won't let the generals of the Great Song Dynasty and Xiao Jia'er Lang die in vain! I am not willing to let my first expedition bury all the soldiers! I am ready to give it a go, can the two generals help me?"

The two of them were shocked and let go? In the face of the five monks, is this possible? Tian Ben's face showed excitement, and he knelt down on one knee, "Tian Ben, I am willing to serve my life!"

Xiao Wu looked at Yuan Zongling again, but Yuan Zongling's face was worried, and the mustache at the corner of his mouth trembled slightly, "The marshal's daughter's body, don't take your life lightly!"

Xiao Wu was a little moved, but after Yuan Zongling made a decision, he seemed even more thoughtful and reliable. Xiao Wu raised his hand, his true qi moved slightly, a small fireball condensed on his left hand, and his right hand was raised, and a small water ball spun in a slippery way.

"So, do I have a fight?"

The two were dumbfounded. Tian Ben's mouth was even more open under his beard, "This ...... Marshal...... You ......"

Yuan Zongling's face showed excitement, and he clasped his fists and saluted again, "The last general will meet the immortal master." ”

Xiao Wu saw that the effect of pretending to be 13 had been achieved, but his spell could not be dispersed, so he hit the ground directly, and with two bangs, the fireball smashed a black hole on the ground, and the water ball directly exploded a small hole. Xiao Wu rarely cast this kind of spell directly, but he pretended to be invisible.

"Now I want to explain to you, please carry out to the letter! Otherwise, the 300,000 soldiers of our army may be wiped out. ”

Both of them had straight faces, and although they were serious, they showed great confidence. This is the confidence that the immortal master gave them, even if the other party has five monks, but since his marshal is also a monk, he naturally has the means to deal with the monks. This is the gap between mortals and monks, and in their eyes immortals are invincible.

Xiao Wu's layout has been repeatedly scrutinized, and now it is about to be officially implemented, and he is really nervous in his heart. This decision is related to the 300,000 people of the Song army and his parents, and it is the first time he has made such a major decision.

Yuan Zongling listened to the order. ”

"The end will be. ”

"Select 10,000 elite people, you personally lead them, and sneak out of the city in batches. In the ugly night of the day after tomorrow, he ambushed outside the Chu military camp. Take the firebird as the number, and immediately enter when you see the signal!

Yuan Zongling clenched his fists and took his life.

Tian Ben listened to the order. ”

"The end will be. Tian Ben replied excitedly.

"I ordered you to lead a battalion of 5,000 people to set up a formation with General Yuan, but when you see a firebird in the Chu military camp, you will immediately kill it. If you kill the enemy's camp, I expect the Chu army to collapse. ”

Tian Ben clenched his fists and received his life, and his eyes shot a belligerent light.

Xiao Wu took a deep breath and said slowly, "I will lead the monks of our army to enter the Chu army camp the night after tomorrow and attack and kill the generals of the Chu army, Xiong Shen and Xiang Fei will die." But it is not known how many of the rest of the generals will be able to kill. Whether you can win the battle or not is up to the two of you. ”

His plan is very simple, that is, the monks on his side will assassinate as many enemy generals as possible, and his own army will rob the camp at the same time, as long as the Chu army can collapse, then the Chu army will have no possibility of occupying Zuling City.

Because no matter how powerful the monks of the worship hall are, they can only operate in secret. If the Chu army collapses, then it will be difficult for the worship hall of the Chu State to make a difference. Since the other party wants to assassinate his own generals, then take all the generals out to see who the monks of Chu State will assassinate at that time.

Xiao Wu finally said, "The soldiers you will lead will be carefully selected by yourself, but the city should not be too empty, in case the Chu army finds out the clues." ”

The two clenched their fists and obeyed. Yuan Zongling looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Xiao Wu waved his hand and said, "I am leading the army for the first time, and I am not familiar with everything, General Yuan can just say it directly." ”

Yuan Zongling said, "Marshal, I'm afraid that even if the 25,000 people of our army fight hard, it will be difficult to defeat the 500,000 army of the Chu State. ”

Xiao Wu pondered for a moment, he knew that there must be loopholes in his approach, and the amount of 20,000 people was also the result of many weighings. At this time, since Yuan Zongling proposed it, he must have an idea.

"What does General Yuan suggest?"

Yuan Zongling said, "Our army can send 50,000 people out of the city to rob the camp." ”

Xiao Wu frowned, 50,000 people, won't the movement be too big?

Needless to say, Yuan Zongling had already understood, and said, "Yesterday, the grain transport team entered the city, all of them were young and strong people, and today the people were left behind, and 50,000 troops went out of the city in disguise. Chu Jun will inevitably not be able to find out the clues to this matter. Even if they find something different, they may not think that our army will go to rob the camp the day after tomorrow. ”

Xiao Wu thought for a moment, "General Yuan, let's go and arrange it first." ”

The two left, Xiao Wu didn't dare to delay, called Zheng Wan, and after explaining some matters, summoned the unearthed boar and went to the secret place of the ancestral tomb.
