Within the territory of Shu Kingdom.
In Furong City, the Shu Kingdom's Emperor Chen Mu was sitting in the hall at this moment. When he heard the good news from the front line, he was overjoyed.
"Your Majesty! The Great Zhou army is truly formidable. Eunuch Lu led his troops in a surprise attack on the Miao camp that night, leaving them with no time to react and forcing them to abandon the city and flee."
"I heard that the Miao army has now retreated to the south. They plan to return to their base, where there is a line of defense, which is Fengcheng!"
"General Zhou is defending over there, so the Miao people can't escape this time!"
Chen Mu was extremely happy. He didn't expect to recover such a large territory of Shu Kingdom so quickly. He was extremely happy.
The troops of his own court were still powerful, but he was more impressed by the troops of the Great Zhou, especially that eunuch Lu.
"The Lu guy is really amazing!"
"I have to admire him. To be able to become a general from a eunuch, a figure above one person and below ten thousand people in the Great Zhou, he is definitely not to be underestimated."
Prime Minister Zhang He disagreed, saying coldly, "Your Majesty, I believe that the Great Zhou defeated the Miao Kingdom this time because the Miao Kingdom was not strong to begin with. It was only because of the guidance of the King of Nannan that they succeeded."
"The traitor Prince Nan'an led the Miao Kingdom and caused many of our city's defenders to surrender. This is why the might of our Shu Kingdom's army could not be demonstrated!"
"It further fails to demonstrate that the Miao nation is actually a strong nation on the outside but weak on the inside. They are not strong at all, but are simply exaggerated by us."
"Now is the best proof that the dog eunuch commanding the army was able to break through the Miao Kingdom so easily. Your Majesty, we were wrong."
"In fact, we Shu Kingdom can directly send troops to attack and completely defeat the Miao Kingdom's army, without seeking help from the Zhou Kingdom."
"This..." Chen Mu was stunned for a moment. For a moment he couldn't tell which one was real and which one was fake, but after this analysis.
It seems that the Miao Kingdom was not as strong as imagined, and was defeated so easily by the Zhou army.
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, it's easier to invite a deity than to send it away. What I'm worried about now is that after defeating the Miao Kingdom, will the Great Zhou take this opportunity to occupy our Shu Kingdom's territory? And..."
When Chen Mu heard this, his brows furrowed, and he was a little confused, not knowing what the Prime Minister wanted to say.
…
Fengcheng.
When the Miao army was only fifty miles away from here, Zhou Chen became a little nervous.
It seems that the Miao Kingdom is vulnerable, but in fact they are very strong, especially when they are full of murderous intent!
Before leaving, the Miao army was brainwashed by their high priest and general to boost their morale.
"Soldiers! You are all good men of the Miao nation, all brave men of the Miao nation. Now we are under siege."
"But don't worry, these Shu soldiers are a bunch of good-for-nothings. You should have seen that the Shu army that surrendered to us before had no backbone at all, and their strength is not that good either."
"Even though they have us trapped, as long as we break through Fengcheng, we can return to our base in one fell swoop and everyone can survive."
"We can do it, we can definitely hold on until that day!"
“…”
On the city wall of Fengcheng.
As a checkpoint, this place is also very important.
Zhou Chen stood above and sighed, "I don't know why, but I always have a bad feeling."
"General, there's nothing to worry about. The worst that can happen is we'll just fight him. Besides, haven't we already decided not to fight them head-on? We'll just expose our weaknesses, put up a simple resistance, and then let them pass."
"Too."
Soon, the armies of Shu and Miao came into conflict. They chose to fight head-on. The Miao army sent heavy cavalry to the front from the beginning!
On the Shu side, the soldiers were also fighting with passion, but they had received orders not to fight continuously. So when they saw that they could not win, they chose to flee.
They are back in the city!
All of this was also within the imagination of the high priests and their men!
In fact, on Zhou Chen's side, he saw the one-sided situation on the battlefield.
In fact, there was no hope. He finally understood why Lu Yun asked him to let the other person go.
Because they couldn't win at all, they really couldn't win because the enemy was too strong. It turns out that the Miao army was so powerful!
When he first received the news that the Miao army was defeated by Lu Yun in one night, he thought they were fragile, but he didn't expect them to be so strong.
He really underestimated others and overestimated himself, and he felt a little ashamed.
After they retreated back into the city, King Nannan once again commanded the army and directly launched a siege!
If they could capture the city and repel the enemy, they could march straight in. There were several routes for them to escape, so the Shu army would naturally be unable to stop them.
Seeing that the siege was about to begin, Zhou Chen, as a master and a general, naturally led the troops and stood on the city wall, waving his sword.
This lasted for about half an hour. Seeing that the situation was almost over, he panicked and said, "Run, run quickly!"
"retreat!"
With his order, the army immediately began to retreat.
In this way, the Shu army fled in panic, throwing away the military flags in their hands before leaving, looking very flustered.
With their retreat, the Liao army managed to capture Fengcheng and successfully break through the siege.
They survived!
…
Half a day later.
Miao camp.
High Priest Luo Feng laughed heartily and said, "These Shu people are really no match for us in fighting. They are so weak that they were driven away by us in less than a day. They abandoned the city and fled without any weapons or armor. They are such cowards!
This general thought this would be a fierce battle that would take at least several days."
Prince Nannan's brows were furrowed at this moment, and no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.
"General, that's not right! I just asked around, and neither of the two chambers in the city left anything for us?"
"Why were we running so fast? We were able to take our troops, horses, and food with us."
"It's too easy to make them look a little flustered, but I always feel like something's wrong."
"Logically speaking, the Shu army shouldn't be this weak. They should be able to hold out for several days at least."
High Priest Luo Feng didn't care about that. He grabbed King Nan'an's shoulders and handed him a bowl of wine.
"Why think so much? If we can't defeat them, then we can't defeat them. It's okay if they escape."
"If our Miao army had not been ambushed that night, we would have been able to defeat the Great Zhou."
"I just don't believe it! This dog eunuch has such a tough life."
Luo Feng had figured it out. Since it had come to this, he just had to kill the eunuch named Lu.
Then I might as well report it directly and ask them to send a real grandmaster to kill this kid!
