Xiao Chuyun asked quickly: "Brother Zhao, what is the agreement between you and the Shu army?"
Zhao Hao said: "We didn't make any specific arrangements, and I wasn't going to come to the city to deliver the message in person. However, I was worried about the situation in the city, and I was also worried that if I didn't come in person, Brother Xiao would hesitate."
"King Xiaoyao of Shu and I have agreed on a method of communication. Whether to keep our troops in place or when to launch an attack is still to be determined."
Xiao Chuyun nodded and said, "Very good. In that case, Brother Zhao, you should contact the Shu army immediately. We will launch a surprise attack on the Wu army at night three days later."
Zhao Hao nodded slightly and said, "Then Brother Xiao, have someone find some things for me. I want to make something specifically for sending messages."
Xiao Chuyun said: "Okay!"
Having said that, he immediately called a close follower from outside and ordered him to follow Zhao Hao, to protect Zhao Hao's safety and to obey Zhao Hao's orders.
Zhao Hao didn't stay and took his people out immediately.
The next evening, shortly after nightfall, around eight o'clock, Zhao Hao started setting off fireworks.
Outside the city, the Shu army camp.
The team escorting Zhao Hao had not returned yet.
However, King Xiaoyao has dispatched special personnel every day in accordance with the agreement in the past few days to closely monitor the situation in Tongshan City at this time point.
Because he and Zhao Hao had agreed with the original messenger to send the message at this time via fireworks.
A flash of firework means that the army is standing still.
Two fireworks mean preparation for war.
After two fireworks, there will be a pause of about a quarter of an hour.
If there are more fireworks going up into the sky, and they go up a few times, it's time for the war to begin.
In the general's tent, King Xiaoyao was drinking while waiting for news from the city.
Suddenly, the sound of fireworks exploding into the sky was heard.
He quickly put down his wine glass, stood up and walked out of the general's tent quickly, looking towards Tongrong Mountain City while asking the soldiers.
"Did you see it clearly?"
"But the signal?"
A sergeant quickly replied: "Your Majesty, it's a signal!"
As they were talking, the second firework rose into the air and exploded in the sky.
Although it was more than ten miles away, it was difficult to see the target in the sky.
But the sound was clearly heard.
After the two sounds, another quarter of an hour passed, and then there were three consecutive sounds.
King Xiaoyao's eyes flickered and he instantly understood the meaning.
"Three days later..."
"Xiao Chuyun is really not simple. He immediately thought that the Wu army and the Nanchu army would never sit still and wait for death!"
Since Shu had formed an alliance with Dagan, the Shu army came to support it.
This also means that Shu Kingdom will provide food and supplies to Dagan.
And this is what Da Gan lacks the most.
With the help of Shu, Dagan can quickly gather a large army and rush to the battlefield as quickly as possible.
Therefore, with the extraordinary wisdom of Wu's female prime minister Xie Daoxun, she must have known that they did not have much time left.
The best solution to this situation is to completely open up the defense line of Jianning City and let the entire Southern Chu army in.
This is the only way to continue to have the upper hand.
Xiao Chuyun had now received the message, and he had obviously figured this out immediately, so he decided to go into battle three days later.
Even if they cannot completely defeat the Wu army and the Southern Chu army, they can at least hold back these nearly 100,000 troops and buy more time for Dagan to attack the country.
Therefore, King Xiaoyao couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
At this moment, many people in the Wu army's tent also heard the explosion above Tongshan City.
However, they did not know what the sound meant.
I have no idea why.
Xie Daoxun walked out slowly, his deep eyes looking towards the direction of Tongshan City.
Because they were closer to Tongshan City, they could not only hear the sound of the explosion, but also see clearly the fireworks scattered in the sky.
Seeing the fireworks exploding in the sky above Tongshan City, Xie Daoxun couldn't help but frown slightly.
A bad feeling arose in my heart.
She stood outside the tent for a long time, and only walked back into the general's tent after the second wave of explosions ended.
"No matter what, we can't delay any longer."
"Tongshan City cannot be taken by force. If we launch a forceful attack, even if we take it, I'm afraid there won't be much left of this army of nearly 100,000."
During the battle of Mubei City last year, it was Xiao Chuyun who was defending the city. Despite facing so many fierce and ferocious troops from the wilderness, he was still unable to take it.
Xie Daoxun did not think that the military strength of Wu and Southern Chu would be stronger than that of the barbarians.
"The only solution now is to abandon Tongshan City, build a defense line south of Tongshan City, and use 20,000 to 30,000 people to stop the troops in the city."
"The remaining 50,000 troops will go straight behind Jianning City and capture Jianning City in one fell swoop."
"As long as Jianning City is breached, the 300,000-strong army of Southern Chu will be able to enter Dagan in an instant."
"By then, even if the new army is fully prepared, our Wu Kingdom and Southern Chu will have a huge advantage."
After carefully planning for a long time, Xie Daoxun immediately instructed a close follower beside him: "Send the order to the tent and call all the generals to come to discuss the matter!"
The attendant nodded quickly and walked out quickly.
After a while, the lights in the big tent came on brightly.
In addition to a group of generals from the Wu State, there were also two generals from Southern Chu.
There were more than a dozen people in total, and they all arrived one after another.
Xie Daoxun stood in the middle and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, now more than 30,000 troops from Shu Kingdom have come to support Tongshan."
"These 30,000 Shu troops are actually nothing in front of the coalition forces of our two countries."
"But after the alliance between Wu and Dagan, there must be a steady stream of supplies and food being transported to Dagan."
"Therefore, the great reorganization of the army will soon be completed."
"This will put us under even greater pressure."
"Xiao Chuyun defended Tongshan to the death, and he had a killing weapon, the Sky Thunder, in his hand. Last year, even the Wilderness failed to capture Mubei City."
"It is unrealistic for us to quickly take over Tongshan now."
"So, I have decided to change the plan. Everyone, please come forward."
Xie Daoxun said this as he walked towards the map hanging in the center of the general's tent.
"Please look, everyone. This is the only route south of Tongshan that leads to Jianning City."
"I have decided to set up an ambush at this place where we must pass through, leaving 20,000 troops to defend and repel the enemy."
"The other 60,000-plus troops will march straight into Jianning City at the fastest speed."
"We will attack from both the north and south with the Southern Chu army, and take Jianning in one fell swoop, allowing the Southern Chu army to enter Dagan completely."
A dozen generals of Wu State did not speak, but just nodded frequently.
The two generals of Southern Chu said in unison: "The Marshal's move couldn't be more wise!"
"We have long felt that besieging Tongshan City is meaningless. Only by thoroughly getting our Nanchu army into the battlefield can we establish victory in one fell swoop!"
Upon hearing this, more than a dozen generals of the Wu State could not help but frown.
Obviously, the two Nanchu generals were somewhat dissatisfied with these words that were almost accusatory.
