The news of Fengcheng's capture soon reached Lu Yun. This was within their expectations. After all, it was he who asked Zhou Chen to deliberately let the Miao army pass.
"Eunuch Lu, we have another day to reach Fengcheng and meet up with them."
"good!"
"I see."
Lu Yun nodded, then asked, "How is the craftsman doing?"
"The craftsmen are working hard to make the firecrackers for Grandpa. After all, we suffered a lot of losses before. Fortunately, we can let the craftsmen make them while we march."
"Okay, I know. Go down."
At the same time, in the imperial palace of Furong City in Shu Kingdom.
When King Chen Mu of Shu learned that the Miao army had easily broken through their defenses, he immediately collapsed. What was going on?
I thought the Shu army was very powerful, but I didn't expect that they couldn't even resist for a day.
So what was their plan? They were planning to build a defensive line to surround the Miao army like dumplings, then kill them and cut off their food and water.
But now there is no goal at all.
"Your Majesty, don't worry about this matter. The general has also replied to us. The meaning is that the reason why our Shu army's defense line was broken so quickly."
"It's all because of that eunuch named Lu. He wrote a letter to General Zhou, telling him to deliberately create a gap and let the Miao army out."
"What!"
Chen Mu was shocked. What on earth was this Lu guy doing? He didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity and instead wiped out the Miao Kingdom in one fell swoop, letting the tiger go back to the mountain.
"Eunuch Lu, what do you mean by this? Don't you want to see the Miao army annihilated so quickly? Why did you deliberately open a gap? I don't believe that my Shu army can't annihilate their Miao army."
Prime Minister Zhang He also left, and came out to quickly explain, "Your Majesty, I think so too."
"Our Shu army is already very brave and it would be easy for us to stop the Liao army. The reason why this Lu guy did this is because he thinks that if the Miao army dies so quickly, it will cause disadvantages to them."
"Your Majesty, the man surnamed Lu is definitely not a good person. We can't figure out his purpose for doing this, but this is the only reason!"
Chen Mugao sat on the dragon throne with a frown on his face, thinking in his heart, what exactly is going on?
Zhang He continued, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the armies of Great Zhou and my Shu Kingdom will soon unite, and at that time, the commander of the army will still be Mr. Lu."
"We have no other options, but Your Majesty, I think this is an opportunity for us."
Chen Mu was quite confused. Why did the Prime Minister suddenly say that this was an opportunity? Where did the opportunity come from? Why couldn't he see it clearly? He asked hurriedly.
"Prime Minister, please tell me where this opportunity lies. I want to hear it carefully."
Zhang He explained with a smile, "Your Majesty, this matter is quite simple."
"When the two armies are united, General Zhou will still be in command of the Shu army. Then, when the two armies are engaged, we can take this opportunity to withdraw."
"By then, only the Miao Kingdom and the Great Zhou army will be left fighting, and we can directly stab them in the back."
"Then the Great Zhou will be attacked from all sides. First and foremost, the Great Zhou will be weakened."
"Perhaps they can be directly relieved by the Miao army. By then, the Miao army will inevitably lose manpower, and then our Shu army will march straight in."
"We can conquer the Miao Kingdom and the territory of the Great Zhou in one fell swoop. Then we will be the most powerful among the three southwestern countries."
"Your Majesty, the Three Kingdoms Hunt is full of opportunities. It all depends on your ambition. As long as your Majesty gives the order, we will definitely find a way for you."
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Prime Minister Zhang He's words were extremely useful to Chen Mu and most of the ministers in the court.
They never expected that the Prime Minister could be so vicious and cruel that he would do such a thing as stabbing his ally in the back?
But if you think about it carefully, everything in the world is about profit.
It only takes a moment for enemies and friends to see how you are being used.
Perhaps what the Prime Minister said is right, although by doing so they are betraying their allies and disregarding morality, and will be despised by some people.
But strong strength is the most important thing, everything else is just a passing cloud.
Thinking of this, the ministers suddenly understood, and even Chen Mu seemed to be thinking about something.
As the emperor of Shu, he also tried his best to find ways to make their Shu stronger, but unfortunately, it occupied a natural barrier.
Their long-held idea has been to guard their own little piece of land and not to go out.
But now I have this opportunity!
"Okay, let's do as the Prime Minister says. When the fighting starts, we will retreat and watch them from a distance!"
"If the Great Zhou wants to retreat, then we will simply block them outside and let them confront the Miao army head-on."
"good!"
Prime Minister Zhang He was so happy that the treacherous intention on his face was revealed. He successfully persuaded the emperor and achieved his goal!
As an ambitious man, he did not stop there.
…
Soon, the Shu army merged with the Zhou army led by Lu Yun.
The tents of the two countries were also combined in one place, but the divisions were still relatively clear.
Half of them were from the Zhou Dynasty, and the other half were from the Shu Kingdom. By the way, the Yangcheng defenders led by General Zhang also directly surrendered to their general.
"Eunuch Lu is really amazing!"
"Nice to meet you again. I never thought you were so courageous, able to catch the enemy off guard under cover of darkness, and to repel the Miao army in a single night, crushing them and forcing them to retreat."
"General, I really admire you!"
"Eunuch Lu, you are truly amazing. I have to admit defeat."
Lu Yun laughed. It was no big deal to him. No problem.
It seems that Zhou Chen, as a general, is not overbearing and has respect for himself. He should be a very good general.
"We must continue to cooperate sincerely in the future. General Zhou should not hesitate to use his own troops and horses and not retreat."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen's face suddenly turned cold, and he said angrily, "Eunuch Lu, what are you talking about?"
"How could this general possibly retreat?"
"The men of Shu are all brave and good at fighting. We are definitely not the kind of people who would flee in the face of battle."
"Of course I know this, but we must always be on guard against others. I'm just explaining this to General Zhou and giving him a heads up so he can understand."
"Okay, I understand."
"Please rest assured, Eunuch Lu. No, General Lu, our goal is to jointly annihilate the Miao army."
