Here in Yizhou, there are undercurrents, detailed espionage, and frequent activities.

The other side.

At this time, Qin general Gao Sheng was stationed in Shicheng, and the retreat was to Tongguan.

Goldman Sachs is a very fierce man with a fighting style. He is not just a loser. His promotion to his current position is entirely based on his own military exploits.

Such a general is definitely not bad in terms of small battles, but he is facing Lian Xiao. With the latter's courage, Goldman Sachs has been beaten so hard these days that he dare not show his face.

In a few days, the stone city will also be destroyed.

In the Shu army camp, Lian Xiao was making final plans for the Shicheng battlefield, preparing to make a final push to break through Shicheng and then take advantage of the situation to recapture Tongguan.

He said: "Now Qin's main army is divided into four groups. Although our army's fortresses are in emergency frequently, we don't care about these! We will directly defeat the first group of Gao Sachs and then recapture Tongguan! Cut off the Qin army's food route!"

He was right. Once Tongguan was recaptured by the Shu army, the Qin army's grain and grass transportation team would not be able to enter Shu.

By then, although Xiao Yuan led his army deep into Shu, there would be insufficient supplies of food, grass and ordnance, and the lines would be cut off. The battle situation would probably change greatly, especially arrows, which were so important to the Qin Army's arrow array!

Upon hearing this, all the generals nodded their heads in agreement.

But at this moment, a soldier hurried in:

"Report~~~~~"

"My lord's military order!" After the soldier came in, he knelt down on one knee and held a silk book respectfully with both hands.

"Send it up." Lian Xiao didn't think much about it.

But when he took the silk book and unfolded it, his expression suddenly changed.

Huang Songyuan was the Lord of Sichuan and Shu, and his order was the highest directive. The letter also told Lian Xiao directly that Yizhou was in danger and ordered him to quickly send troops to return for reinforcements.

After reading it, he pinched the silk book tightly, stared at the soldiers and said: "Is there a danger in Yizhou!? What danger is there!"

The soldier was responsible for riding a fast horse to deliver the message. After hearing this, he cautiously said: "Su Yi has led more than 20,000 Qin troops to capture Fuling. If we continue to fight, we will reach Yizhou."

"Didn't I, the general, already order Chen Tai to lead an army of fifty thousand to fight against Su Yi?" Lian Xiao asked.

The soldier returned: "But...but Su Yi is indeed in Fuling, General."

"Chen Tai is causing trouble!" Lian Xiao said angrily first, then took a deep breath and said: "Then let Chen Tai come back for help! You go back and tell the lord that the war here is tense and Tongguan will be broken soon.

If we withdraw our troops at this time, all our previous efforts will be in vain!”

"But... but general, this is the lord's military order. If you disobey the order, this, this... I hope the general will think twice..." the soldier stammered.

But how could he be willing to ask Lian Xiao to withdraw his troops at this time? Hearing this, he couldn't help but stare and said: "I won't withdraw! Tell my words to the lord, he will understand!"

"But..." The soldier wanted to say something else.

But Lian Xiao had interrupted him again: "We will be out here, and you will not accept your orders! My lord has no idea about the fighting situation here, so you don't need to say anything more!"

"This, this..." The soldier was dumbfounded.

"Back off!" Lian Xiao glared at him again.

"Yes, yes, I will retire..." With such a look, he was a general in Shu. The soldiers dared not say anything more, so they couldn't help but secretly swallowed their saliva, bowed and retreated.

After he left, all the generals in the tent also exploded, and someone said:

"How could my lord issue such a military order at this time..."

"With such a war situation, if our army retreats, even if we can save Yizhou, the entire war situation will be completely defeated..."

Someone else said worriedly: "But if the general does not withdraw, he is disobeying the lord's order. If he is used by villains to stir up trouble in Yizhou, then the general will..."

"Okay!" Lian Xiao raised his hand to interrupt everyone, and said in a loud voice: "This general just wants to win this war! I don't want to worry about anything else!"

In other words, Lian Xiao has the courage of a general but no political acumen.

He refused to return to the army. A few days later, the news came back to Yizhou. As you can imagine, Huang Songyuan was furious.

"Piff Lianxiao! How dare you disobey our military orders! It's really hateful!"

In the hall, he slammed the table, couldn't help but get up and said angrily: "What does he want to do! What does he want to do!?"

At this time, there was only Fu De standing in the hall. When the latter saw this, he secretly said that an opportunity had come.

You know, he has now secretly colluded with the Qin army.

Seeing Huang Songyuan's appearance, he rolled his eyes first, then raised his hands and said: "My lord, your order is the highest order in Shu. No matter who Lian Xiao is, he must obey it! But now, he is perfunctory and refuses.

When he returned to the army, his attitude was even more arrogant, as if he no longer took his lord seriously."

Upon hearing this, Huang Songyuan's expression changed and he asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean..."

Fu De said: "My lord, please think about it, over the years, how many times has he contradicted my lord face to face? How many times has he directly scolded my lord? As a subordinate, he has been arrogant many times, but my lord is so generous that he doesn't even care about it.

You trust him so much, but he dares to refuse to accept orders, what does this mean?"

What he said reminded Huang Songyuan of his past. How many times had he enjoyed singing and dancing in the palace, but Lian Xiao had disturbed him. How many times had Lian Xiao accused him of not caring about politics...

Lian Xiao did this with good intentions, and wanted to remind Huang Songyuan that as a master, he should be diligent and self-denial, but in Huang Songyuan's view, that was not the case.

His expression also became more and more nervous.

Fu De continued: "My lord, now Lian Xiao has made it clear that he disobeyed orders, and he is a general in the army. If he has second thoughts, the consequences will be disastrous..."

Hearing this, Huang Songyuan had a look of panic on his face.

Fu De watched the words and struck the iron road while it was hot: "My lord, please don't forget that Li Minggui, the governor of Yong'an County, surrendered to the enemy and rebelled against the lord, and handed over the entire Yong'an to Xiao Yuan. The lessons learned from the past are clearly visible to us."

"What!?" Huang Songyuan's eyes widened. Li Minggui rebelled and only lost a county. But if Lian Xiao rebelled, what would happen!?

He panicked all of a sudden, but before he could speak, Fu De said again:

"My lord, now Lian Xiao is disobeying orders and saying he wants to recapture Tongguan. But how long has it been since he went on the expedition? Why has he stayed near Shicheng without seeing any defeat or success? The situation here may be a bit complicated.

.”

"You mean..." Huang Songyuan continued to widen his eyes.

Fu De said with a worried look: "We don't know what the situation is in the army, but we are afraid. Lian Xiao has contacted Lord Qin. If so, it will be over! Otherwise, how dare he disobey orders?

?”

"This, this, this!" Huang Songyuan was shocked and said at a loss: "Then what do you think we should do!?"

"In my humble opinion, it is better to send the Lord's closest people to the military camp to seize Lian Xiao's military power." Fu De said seriously.

"The closest person?" Huang Songyuan asked back.

Fu De said directly: "General Cui Sheng is the nephew of the lord. No matter what, he cannot betray the lord. Therefore, I think it is best to send General Cui Sheng there."

After hearing what he said, Huang Songyuan first thought about it, and then said repeatedly:
Chapter completed!
