The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In the palace, after Liang Jing went to court, he received the battle reports from the Ministry of War in the past few days. What he didn't expect was that the news from the Ministry of War only said one sentence.
"Eunuch Lu has stopped a hundred miles outside Taizhou City and is slowly advancing, waiting for an opportunity. He has also ordered the craftsmen in the military camp to modify the crossbows."
"At the moment, there are no offensive ideas."
For a moment, Liang Jing was stunned. What was going on with Lu Yun? They had already arrived, so why hadn't the fight started yet? What was he waiting for?
So what's there to wait for?
If we wait any longer, the flowers will get cold and we won’t be able to fight anymore.
Liang Jing even began to suspect whether Xiao Yunzi was acting like him. Did he not know how to fight when he got to the destination, or was he waiting for the other party to attack, but no one attacked?
At this time, the Left Prime Minister Yang Zhong stood up and said in a cold voice, "Your Majesty, this Eunuch Lu is not likely to lead so many troops at once. I wonder how he will act when he arrives at the place."
"Your Majesty, perhaps he is just a man who talks big but doesn't have any real ability to do anything. We have been deceived by him before. Why don't we send General Xiao He?"
Liang Jing was stunned for a moment, but no matter what, he was still willing to believe Lu Yun.
Because news has also come from Shadow Guard Thirteen that Xiao Yunzi has been trying his best to break up an alliance between the four southeastern provinces in recent times.
She thought that Xiao Yunzi probably didn't want to resolve the disaster so quickly. He also wanted to minimize the losses and didn't want the 100,000 troops he led to suffer heavy losses.
It was indeed a good idea, but these ministers did not know his specific plan...
"Left Prime Minister, we must not rush this matter. We must wait until the right time."
"Now that Eunuch Lu has taken command of the battle, we should trust him instead of trying to say things behind his back."
"I think we can only wait for this matter. We have no other choice! Do you really want to change the head coach at the last minute?"
"This is a major military taboo. Ask someone from the Ministry of War to come up and tell us if this is feasible!"
Everyone present was silent. They knew that what His Majesty said made sense, so they decided to wait a little longer!
Let’s take a look at what this eunuch Lu is trying to do?
However, if we wait one more day, the food will be wasted one more day. It would be better if the problem could be solved earlier.
The Minister of Revenue was the most anxious one. Every day he would ask the people in the Ministry of Revenue to calculate the recent expenditures, whether the national treasury could hold on, etc.
harem.
Recently, after Eunuch Lu left, some concubines in the harem felt very strange. What was going on?
His Majesty is not interested in the matter of continuing the family line at all. It feels like he has become a different person. Wasn't he very enthusiastic about this matter before?
Shangguan Feng'er also took the initiative to find Liang Jing, thinking that she had recovered now and was not seriously injured, so she could do this kind of thing.
But... Liang Jing thought to himself, what can I do? I don't have the ability of Xiao Yunzi.
…
Liyue City.
General's Mansion.
Zhou Zhengtian was sitting in a pavilion, fishing leisurely. As a traitor, he didn't seem to worry at all that he would be punished by the court.
"General, I heard that this time the dog emperor specially sent a eunuch to serve as the commander-in-chief."
"It's really laughable. Throughout history, which eunuch could truly lead a real army? I heard that this eunuch even won the trust of the dog emperor and is now a popular figure around the dog emperor."
"What!"
Zhou Zhengtian was astonished, then laughed wildly, "Hahaha, does this bastard emperor really have no one else to use? Can't the general be sent over? I'd really like to have a sparring match with the general, or General Xiao He would also be fine."
"It's just a dog eunuch, what's the big deal?"
"By the way, General, recently, a new courtesan arrived in Liyue City. She is incredibly beautiful, like a fairy."
"General, should we send someone to fetch her? I heard that this courtesan is not only beautiful, but also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."
Zhou Zhengtian immediately revealed a lewd smile and chuckled, "Alright, you still understand me the best. This general only found out about such a beautiful courtesan coming here."
"Bring her here for me. This general will be very nice tonight and have the pleasure of visiting her."
"yes……"
At the same time, Ningzhou City and Anzhou City also received the news one after another.
They also learned that the imperial army had arrived a hundred miles outside Taizhou City.
It's just that for some reason they stopped and didn't move on, but instead set up camp. This is really strange.
However, they scoffed at the news that the chief commander of the imperial court this time was a eunuch.
"Is there really no one available at the imperial court? They sent a eunuch. It's really laughable."
"Hmph! The people I despise the most in my life are eunuchs. I must let this eunuch know how powerful I am. Does he really think that our place can be solved by just any random person? Wishful thinking."
“…”
Taizhou City at this time.
Wang Sheng, the chief general of Taizhou, was a little panicked, because even if the court sent an army of 100,000, they could still wear him out.
Unless they can have a steady supply of troops to support them, these 50,000 people can hold out for a long time if they are a little braver.
Maybe he could even fight one against three, one against five, or even ten.
Of course, the main thing is that the three brothers behind can help me, otherwise it would be a bit isolated and difficult to cope with.
"Humph! What the hell is that dog eunuch doing?"
"They haven't sent any troops to attack us yet. Are they trying to wear us down?"
A military advisor in plain clothes, holding a folding fan in his hand, said calmly, "General, this eunuch is not powerful at all. He is not a general who specializes in leading troops in battle. He will definitely be severely beaten by us."
"Is there any recent news from Marquis Wenxin? After all, he was the one who instigated us."
"Marquis Wenxin is now in a safe haven, protected by natural barriers. I heard that after his recent defeat, he has been trying every possible way to recruit soldiers."
"It's just that we don't know yet whether Marquis Wenxin will help us."
Wang Sheng snorted coldly and slammed the table angrily. "What a joke! Does he want to hide aside and reap the benefits?"
"He wants to see us both lose, so he can come out and recruit troops and strengthen himself."
"I'm not sure, but as long as our alliance of the four southeastern provinces exists, Marquis Wenxin won't dare to do anything to us easily."
