第162章 162:易守难攻的阳武镇,1唱1和的2女
Chapter 162: Yangwu Town is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and two women sing the same tune
"Ah"
Looking at the King of Wu who took his seat.
All the girls from Qingyuan Sword Sect snorted coldly, with chills in their eyes.
In this regard.
The King of Wu naturally noticed it, but he was not angry.
Instead, he glanced at the girls with a smile, then looked away and said to Xu Shu, "I wonder why you asked me to come here, Mr. Xu?"
Hearing this, Xu Shu smiled and cupped his hands, "I have the audacity to ask His Majesty to come here in person, in order to discuss the next steps in conquering the remnants of the White Lotus Sect."
As he said this, King Wu looked as if he had suddenly realized something.
Xu Shu added: "If I have offended you, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
"Sir, you are joking."
After hearing this, the King of Wu said sternly: "The matter of conquering the remnants of the White Lotus Sect is the top priority at the moment."
"After receiving the imperial edict, I immediately prepared the army. I couldn't wait to lead the army to Yangwu Town to wipe out the White Lotus Sect, this malignant tumor. How could I possibly think of offending them?" King Wu said, with a look of righteous indignation.
Then he said: "Now that the master is here, I am so happy that I will never blame him."
This scene.
This caused the girls from the Qingyuan Sword Sect to snort coldly, "Pretending."
"Your Majesty is righteous."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shu smiled and praised.
Then he said seriously: "Since the prince said so, let's get started."
Say it.
Xu Shu looked at Luo Xiaobei under the tent and said, "Xiaobei, hang up the map."
"Yes."
Luo Xiaobei received the order.
He immediately strode out, took out a map and hung it up.
Everyone looked at it and were all shocked.
This map marked every detail, including the location of each town in Xingqing Prefecture, the garrisoned troops, and even mountain streams and creeks, where suitable for ambushes and where suitable for stationing large troops.
"hiss"
Just a glance.
The King of Wu took a deep breath and murmured in surprise, "This map is so detailed?"
"Everyone, please look, the location of Yangwu Town is here."
To everyone's shock, Xu Shu slowly stood up, walked to the map, and pointed to the location of Yangwu Town.
He said slowly: "Yangwu Town is surrounded by mountains on all sides. It is also located at a high place. The road up the mountain is extremely steep. There are cliffs on three sides. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. At the same time, Yangwu Town is not short of water. There is a stream flowing through the mountain stream."
"There is no shortage of water. In addition, the White Lotus Sect robbed a batch of disaster relief grain from the imperial court some time ago, so there will be no shortage of food in the short term. In addition, it is impossible for the White Lotus Sect not to store food and grass in their base, so this battle is extremely difficult."
Xu Shu's words.
This made everyone present frown.
The girls from Qingyuan Sword Sect didn't quite understand what this meant.
But the King of Wu nodded in agreement.
He knew it.
How difficult it is to capture Yangwu Town.
"What you said is absolutely true."
King Wu said: "Yangwu Town is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and there is only one way up the mountain. This road is not wide, so it is difficult for a large army to move. It is not easy to attack it."
Although it seems so.
Yangwu Town is just a small town on an isolated mountain.
If we surround them and cut off their water supply, I think it won't take long before we win without a fight.
But the empress obviously couldn't wait that long.
Moreover, the White Lotus Sect is not like an ordinary army.
Among them are the believers.
Most of them are skilled in martial arts, so it would be impossible for them to simply cut off their water supply.
Besides, if you want to cut off the water source, you need to go up the mountain first.
And the way to go up the mountain must pass through Yangwu Town, so it is impossible to do so.
The Black Ice Platform can do that.
But they would also suffer damage when the White Lotus Sect counterattacked, which Xu Shu did not want to see.
"so."
After the King of Wu finished speaking.
Xu Shu took over the conversation and said, "If we want to take over Yangwu Town, it is not a good idea to just surround it without attacking it. Only by attacking it head-on can we remove this cancer in the shortest possible time and solve your majesty's biggest worry."
"storm?"
After hearing this, the King of Wu frowned.
A bad premonition suddenly arose in my heart.
“And for this battle, the only troops we can mobilize are the elite troops under the command of King Wu.” Xu Shu said, and his eyes turned to King Wu, whose expression changed slightly.
He said calmly, "I wonder if the King of Wu is willing to lead his army as the vanguard and attack Yangwu Town from the front."
"This"
When the King of Wu heard this, his expression froze.
He finally understood why he felt uneasy today. He wondered what was going on.
So this is where the problem lies
Letting me lead the army to attack, my eldest niece really had a good plan.
That's right.
In the eyes of King Wu.
What is happening now must be the Empress's intention.
It was simply that the empress wanted to use this incident to force himself to lead his army to attack Yangwu Town.
Thereby weakening one's own strength.
It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone. Not only did he destroy the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, but he also greatly reduced the power of himself, the King of Wu, so that he could no longer pose a threat to the empress.
"gentlemen."
Under the gaze of everyone.
King Wu retracted his thoughts, suppressed his anger, and said with an uncertain expression: "I'm afraid this strong attack is a little inappropriate, right?"
The girls from Qingyuan Sword Sect heard this.
He sneered again.
Tang Caier sneered and said, "Why, is King Wu afraid?"
"Uncle-master, the King of Wu is not afraid." Seeing this, Ling Yan'er on the side immediately took over the conversation and looked at the King of Wu with a gloomy face with a smile.
"Oh?"
After hearing this, Tang Caier raised her eyebrows.
He pretended to be 'suspicious' and looked at Ling Yan'er and said, "If you are not afraid, then why don't you dare to attack?"
"Uncle Master doesn't know."
Seeing this, Ling Yan'er immediately came forward.
He whispered in Tang Cai'er's ear, "There are rumors that the King of Wu has long been colluding with the White Lotus Sect. Snakes and rats are in the same nest. After receiving the imperial edict from His Majesty, he immediately prepared his army with great fanfare to inform the White Lotus Sect. Now, I'm afraid that the King of Wu is still thinking about how to let the White Lotus Sect escape this disaster and continue to collude with him to oppress the people and plunder the people's wealth. How can he be willing to attack Yangwu Town? Some people also say that the batch of disaster relief grain some time ago was robbed by the King of Wu. But later, His Majesty was furious and ordered the Censorate and the Embroidered Uniform Guard to investigate. The King of Wu was worried that the truth would be exposed, so he transported the batch of grain to Yangwu Town."
Ling Yan'er's voice was not loud.
But everyone present was a person with profound martial arts skills, so they could be said to have heard it clearly.
"ah!"
And Tang Caier at this time.
Her expression was even more exaggerated, with shock all over her pretty face.
He stole a glance at King Wu in disbelief and exclaimed, "How could such a thing exist?"
The voice just fell.
Tang Caier realized that her reaction was too big and quickly covered her mouth.
He whispered to Ling Yan'er, "Then wouldn't we have been exposed long ago?"
