I’m The King Chapter 148: : Conspiracy

At the gate of the tall city in Liaoxi County, Zhang Shouyue was fully armed and stood on his horse. Groups of soldiers walked past him and drove towards the two border counties of Liaoxi County, Fufeng and Chima. Behind him, Lu Hong, the new former general, and Grand Duke Zhang Junbao were also by his side.

On the road with the sound of horseshoes, Zhang Shubao and Huang Desheng appeared in front of Zhang Shouyue. The scars on Huang Desheng's face were throbbing. He rode on the horse and clasped his fists towards Zhang Shouyue, saying, "Prefect, but please don't worry, I will definitely let those Donghu barbarians who come to make trouble know that I am Da Yanxiong again." The army is amazing."

Zhang Shuding looked very relaxed, "Father, the son has gone, and the son will not embarrass the father."

Zhang Shouyue's face was serious, "You two, remember well, whether you are in Fufeng or Chima, your task is to defend the city, and you must not attack lightly, and you will be done if you hold it Task, your strength is not enough to fight with most of Donghu's troops, do you understand?"

"Yes, father, the son must act in accordance with the strategy set by the father, and dare not go into battle rashly."

"Go, be careful all the way, Zhang Han has already gone ahead and made the preliminary preparations for you. When you arrive, everything should be in order."

"Then the son is leaving!" Zhang Shubao nodded, "Father, take care."

"Prefect, I will take my leave." Huang Desheng clasped his fists in salute, turned around and galloped away.

The left and right armies under the command of Zhang Shouyue, the prefect of Liaoxi County, went to the border, which caused a sensation in Liaoxi County. Following Zhang Shouyue's order, the entire dozen counties under Liaoxi County were preparing for war. There are not many soldiers, only more than 3,000 soldiers, and the left and right armies only have more than 1,000 elite soldiers under their jurisdiction. If a war with the Donghu people is about to start this time, soldiers from all counties and counties will be recruited, and the usual soldiers will be recruited. Reserve, Liaoxi County can mobilize tens of thousands of troops in a few months. The quality of these troops varies, and it is difficult to fight a frontal war with the Donghu people. But for the Liaoxi people, what they have to do is to defend the city. Relying on the dense cities in the county, it is enough to fight a war of attrition with the Donghu people. The Donghu people have limited ability to attack the city. If they are delayed for a long time, they will inevitably retreat. And Liaoxi County's counterattack will also start when they retreat.

The entire Liaoxi County began to mobilize, and Gao Yuan, who started this incident, was naturally the target of verbal criticism. If he hadn't provoked border quarrels in Fufeng, how could the Donghu people become angry and retaliate, which led to such a situation on both sides? A big battle, you know, Donghu and Dayan have been at peace for more than ten years. Of course, from the perspective of the interior of Liaoxi County, the small fights on the border have little to do with them.

In Liaoxi City, Lu Hong also endured great pressure because of his special relationship with Gao Yuan.

In the prefect's mansion, Zhang Shouyue stayed in his study, and there were only two people accompanying him, one was his eldest son Zhang Junbao, and the other was Zhang Shouyue's guard commander, who is also the current Liaoxi County Zhang Zhuo, the cavalry general of the army, was not even allowed to attend the meeting.

Zhang Shouyue stood in front of the huge map on the wall with his hands behind his back, but his eyes did not fall on Fufeng, Chima and other places on the border with Donghu, but on Langya County in the south, on the border with Liaoxi County. On a vast land. After a while, he turned around and sat behind the big case full of papers.

"Zhang Zhuo, are your cavalry ready?" Zhang Shouyue asked in a deep voice.

"Prefect, please don't worry, our 1,000 cavalry are heading towards Liangshan in batches in the name of training, and their routes are carefully planned by the general, so that they will never arouse others' suspicion. Besides, we The cavalry has just been formed, and the training is as it should be, so it will not attract too much attention from others." Zhang Zhuo smiled and said: "When the day came, they realized that something was wrong. A thousand cavalry had already assembled, and a thousand cavalry, Enough to destroy all enemies in front of them."

"The cavalry has just been formed, can it have the combat power to destroy the enemy?" Zhang Shouyue asked a little worried.

"The prefect has always wanted to form a cavalry army, but we have not formed an army because of the shortage of horses. Although we don't have many horses, we have not given up on training. This time Gao Yuan sent a thousand horses. We can finally get As I wished, although there is no cavalry tactics yet, the soldiers' cavalry skills are not a problem at all. Besides, to deal with those people, whether to have cavalry tactics or not is second. Thousands of cavalry spread out and rushed , is enough to break their will, they are not Donghu people, and Langya soldiers are not our Liaoxi soldiers, how can they be vulnerable!" Zhang Zhuo laughed.

Zhang Junbao sat across from the desk and looked at Zhang Shouyue, "Father, speaking of it, Gao Yuan has helped us a lot this time. Without these thousand horses, we would have had to spend a lot of money on this operation." Zhou Zhang, now that Zhang Zhuo's cavalry has formed an army, things will be much easier this time."

"Speaking of Gao Yuan, he is really powerful. In a few months, he defeated several Donghu tribes and robbed so many war horses. It was a surprise that the prefect didn't force him to come to Liaoxi City. Gaoming chess." Zhang Zhuo said in admiration: "Prefect, how did you know that Gao Yuan would make such great achievements?"

Hearing this, Zhang Shouyue couldn't help laughing, "I don't have the ability to predict the future, how could I know that this Gao Yuan can get us so many war horses, but this person does have the ability, he is unruly, quite Ambitious, I will tie him up in Liaoxi City. I am just one more strong general, but giving him a platform may bring me surprises. Gaining the fisherman's profit, losing is only a loss of an insignificant pawn, so why not do it? To be honest, it was beyond my expectation that he could make such a big commotion."

"Father, in order to cover up this operation, we sent the left and right armies to Fufeng and Chima, isn't that a bit of a fuss?" Zhang Junbao pondered for a while, "Thousands of troops and horses traveled long distances, and it took a lot of money! "

"You say this is making a fuss out of a molehill?" Zhang Shouyue stared at Zhang Junbao with a half-smile, "Junbao, do you really think so?"

Zhang Junbao frowned, "I also ask my father to give me advice."

"Do you think that Miranda really doesn't know anything about the affairs of our country of Yan? I'm afraid he already knew some rumors. A war, tell me, it’s not against us, but against whom?” Zhang Shouyue sneered.

Zhang Junbao's expression changed drastically, "So, Miranda might actually do something. Well, then our cavalry went to Liangshan, and the Chinese army will follow up. If Miranda attacks in a big way, Shubao and Desheng How can the general hold it?"

"Of course Miranda is ready to take action. He has coveted us in Liaoxi for a year or two. How can we let such an opportunity go by? This time, for us in Liaoxi, there is really nothing to gain, even I will lose some benefits, I hope everything goes well, and it won’t take long to take Langya, so we will return to the army immediately, gather the troops of Hejian County and the imperial court, and give Miranda a head-on blow, that’s why I want them to take over The principle of defending the city." Zhang Shouyue said.

"Father, since this is the case, why did we join this operation? This is a loss-making business!" Zhang Junbao shouted. "I always thought that Miranda's attack was just a cover for my father to let go. Father, I don't understand one thing. Miranda has a close relationship with that person. If he really knew what we are plotting now, wouldn't he Should we leak it to that person, so as to take precautions, if this is the case, wouldn’t we lose both ends this time.”

"Jun Bao, you have to think further ahead when it comes to everything." Zhang Shouyue said sharply, "We should take a long view and take a long view. Don't always focus on this little benefit in front of you. I do this, although it is a loss." Why do I do this for the sake of our Zhang family? If we succeed this time, we can be completely tied to a chariot with those people and form a community of interests. At that time, our feudal Liaoxi County can become a reality, so what if we fail? We are in Liaoxi, and we are still afraid of what will happen to that man, and he dares to do something to me. If I am in a hurry, I will vote for Miranda."

Both Zhang Junbao and Zhang Zhuo turned pale with shock~IndoMTL.com~ dare not speak.

"Then again, the hope of success this time is great. Not only we in Liaoxi, but also four other counties have joined in. Hejian, Yuyang, and Kaiping will all attack at the same time. Even if Miranda sniffs What happened, and I will never reveal the slightest bit of information to that person. I have a close relationship? Hey, in the face of national interests, so what if that person is his brother? This is our chance, so why not Miranda? Opportunity? He has been waiting for civil strife in Dayan, but how many years has he been waiting?" Zhang Shouyue gritted his teeth.

"Father, if this war is delayed, wouldn't Miranda be in vain?"

"I hope this time it will go smoothly, and this important event will be completed in a swift manner. In this way, Miranda will not have much time to prepare, so it is unlikely that he will take the risk of marching." Zhang Shouyue closed his mouth Eyes, "He has just begun to inspect the various ministries of the Eastern Hu. It will take at least one to two months to fully mobilize and march, and we only need this time. When he is ready, we should be done." , Looking back at that time, if we work together to deal with Miranda, we should be safe."

"This, this is too risky!" Zhang Junbao murmured.

"The risk is high, and the return is high." Zhang Shouyue snorted, "Your father has been here all his life. If you don't invest heavily, how can you get the highest return? I hope Shubao will be more competitive with Desheng. Before Miranda's large-scale march, small-scale harassment will inevitably continue to test us. I hope they can give me some good news. This time the focus is on Jicheng. As long as that person is not allowed to escape from Jicheng, Back in Langya County, victory will be in our hands."
