I, Yang Guo's son, abducted Zhang Sanfeng and traversed countless worlds.

"We are all fighting against Yang Jian, but the one we are fighting now is a Yang Jian who has no legitimacy, has not taken over the throne again, has not been able to occupy territories everywhere, and will not use the strategy of constantly attacking us by wearing out the army."

Xu Maogong elaborated on his point of view, "If we attack Yang Guang first, then Yang Jian will decide how and when to attack. But we will attack first now, and the initiative of how and when to attack is in our hands."

Xu Maogong spread out the map and said, "If my estimate is correct, there should be another person as smart as me in Yang Jian's army. He might plot something against our army. We must strike first. We can feint an attack on Yang Guang and ambush General Luo, General Xiong, and General Li while they are on their way to rescue us."

Pei Yuanqing's face darkened: "According to what you said, you want me to feign defeat?"

"That can't be helped. Master Pei, you have appeared in the show too many times and are a familiar face to everyone. If we don't see you, everyone will know that you are hidden and thus discover our ambush."

Xu Maogong spread his hands and said, "It's not necessary for you to pretend to be defeated. You can still make a feint attack. Doesn't Yang Guang still have Yuwen Chengdu under his command? His injuries may not have fully healed yet, so he is enough for you to fight. If you can directly break through the imperial army formation and capture Yang Guang alive, it will be a greater achievement than ours."

"Screw you!" Pei Yuanqing looked aggrieved, but he had nothing to say. Li Yuanba had been beaten into submission, and he, who couldn't even take three hammers from Li Yuanba, had no right to attack?
"How about it, do you agree with Advisor Xu's strategy?"

Yang Gui still didn't say anything and quietly played the role of a host.

"Is this... accepted?"

"Well, I think that's great."

It has to be said that people like Zhuge Liang and Xu Maogong who are good at using clever strategies not only need to have a good brain and excellent intelligence, but also the ability to incite and deceive others with their words. Otherwise, they will not be able to convince others. If others do not approve of your strategy, no matter how good the layout is, it will be useless.

This point was vividly demonstrated in Zhuge Liang's debate with scholars in Eastern Wu.

Xu Maogong was obviously unlucky. When everyone's courage was intimidated, their brains also stopped working. Not to mention that their brains were not as good as Xu Maogong's, the various rebel kings now didn't even have the mind to argue, which also deprived him of the opportunity to show off.

The battle between Luo Shixin and Li Yuanba shocked them so much that their minds went blank. They had no intention of arguing with Xu Maogong. What he said made sense, so they just agreed with it.

"What's good about that!" Hou Tu said dissatisfiedly, "Hua Li Hu Shao, we're out fighting, and you're sitting at home pretending to be cool, as if you have contributed to this. No, I say we have to go straight to Yang Guang's big ship!"

"Oh yes, King Hou Tu is right!"

"Xu Maogong, you are too fanciful!"

"Exactly. You are showing off in front of the leader. Don't you know that strength can defeat skill?"

Although the rebel kings were stunned, this made them realize who was the boss. They didn't speak just now because they didn't think it through, but now they don't have to think about it. Once Hou Tu speaks, it is the highest order of the entire Siping Mountain.

"No, I..." Xu Maogong was dumbfounded. Why are you all like this? Didn't I say that I agree with your military strength, but what should I do when defending the city in the future?
"Hey, restrain yourself. Others don't know that we are in the same group with Yang Jian." Yang Gui said to Hou Tu through voice transmission.

The people below were still shouting, "Xu Maogong is spreading rumors and misleading the people. He should be taken out and beheaded!"

"Support the righteous King Hou Tu and oppose the evil-doer Xu Mao Gong!"

"Force is the most important guarantee!"

"We can't let the soldiers down! The soldiers fighting on the front lines are the ones who have made great contributions!"

"Kill Xu Maogong, kill Xu Maogong!"

Xu Maogong's face turned green. I just offered some advice. What I said was fair and reasonable. Even if you don't think it's good, you can use it or not. Why did you bring me a fatal disaster?

Is that reasonable?
"Okay, in that case..."

When the crowd was excited, Hou Tu spoke. As soon as Hou Tu opened her mouth, everyone stopped talking and glared at Xu Maogong, as if Xu Maogong had just killed their father.

"Let's adopt Advisor Xu's plan."

"Uh?"

As soon as Hou Tu finished speaking, the rebel kings almost broke their waists.

No, didn’t you say you would work hard for Xu Maogong? Why do you agree with him now?
It was very embarrassing. The scene was very awkward for a while.

It has to be Li Yuan. This kind of player who comes from aristocratic family is best at confusing right and wrong, being shameless, and telling lies with his eyes wide open. Face is completely a strategic defensive weapon for them.

He was the first to react, and he led the way in shouting, "King Hou Tu has a keen eye for talent, and Military Advisor Xu's plan is brilliant. We will surely be able to capture Yang Guang alive and overthrow Yang Tang in one fell swoop!"

All the rebel kings cast their eyes on Li Yuan, thinking that he was indeed from an aristocratic family, look how capable he is, yet he is so shameless, how many years will it take us to learn from him?
"Capture Yang Guang alive and overthrow Yang Tang!"

"Capture Yang Guang alive and overthrow Yang Tang!"

All of a sudden, under Li Yuan's encouragement, everyone started to shout slogans. They looked at Xu Maogong with fanatic eyes, as if Xu Maogong was the only true god who could save them from the abyss of darkness, without any trace of the shouting and killing they had just shown.

Xu Maogong secretly wiped his cold sweat and thought it was too dangerous to be with this group of people. There was no life safety room at all.

But it was impossible for him to have an attack now, and perhaps he would never have an attack at any time. After all, Xu Maogong could not figure out how to overcome this lunatic.

He let out a long breath, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply to the ground, "Thank you very much for your appreciation, Your Majesty. I will serve you wholeheartedly and will not refuse even if I die!"

As soon as he said this, he wanted to slap himself in the face. Knowing that this group of people are a bunch of lunatics, why did he say these polite words to them? In other people's ears, these are just polite words, but in the ears of this group of lunatics, they might take it seriously. This guy ordered him to go to the front line, really asking him to die without hesitation, should he resist or not?
The only choice Xu Maogong could make was to see whether he felt more comfortable being chopped by the enemy's weapons or trampled to death by the enemy's horses, or being smashed on the head by Luo Shixin with a stick.

Thinking about it this way, I think Luo Shixin is the right one.

Xu Maogong closed his eyes, a look of fearlessness as he was ready to die.

"Okay, okay, you're welcome. Military Advisor Xu, just stay in the central military camp and wait for success." Hou Tu did not make things difficult for Xu Maogong. She was not familiar with this Right Prime Minister, and there was no point in always making fun of him.

However, jokes about hell are not allowed, but the same cannot be said about other jokes.

Hou Tu leaned forward slightly, showing an admiring look: "Military Advisor Xu is so smart, but he stays in this corner of Wagang and serves Li Mi, the indecisive, weak and incompetent leader. Isn't this a waste of talent?
In my opinion, it would be better for Xu Junshi to join my army. One man... less than two men, more than ten thousand men. Even my three stupid disciples have to obey your orders. You have the brains, I have the force. Then we can make an unparalleled achievement together. Isn't it wonderful?"

"Ah, this..." Xu Maogong never expected that Hou Tu, this old woman, looked so fierce, but actually knew how to use a counter-espionage strategy.

He knew that with Li Mi's stupid brain, no matter how Xu Maogong reacted, he was destined to be suspected by Li Mi from the moment Hou Tu said this.

It's not even just the kind of suspicion that's marginalized, but the desire to find a way to kill oneself.

Fortunately, Xu Maogong just wanted to show his knowledge and make achievements, but he did not have the loyalty of Zhuge Liang who would guard a useless monarch until his death. Since he arrived at Siping Mountain, he had wanted to join the army after seeing the food and military management methods of the Hou Tu army.

So Xu Maogong did not shy away from it. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he bowed to the ground again and said, "Thank you, King Hou Tu, for your appreciation. I know very well that one should know what is good and what is bad, and know when to advance and retreat. Since the king is courteous and has personally invited me, why should I refuse?"

Ah, no, buddy? Are you playing Infernal Affairs with us?
The brothers who came with Xu Maogong from Wagang all stared at Xu Maogong with their eyes wide open, their eyes full of disbelief. The speed and naturalness of his surrender was something that even a man without integrity could not do. At least you hesitated or pretended to refuse!

Xu Maogong's current reaction was as smooth as an undercover agent sent by the enemy returning to his original team.

“Old Xu, you…” Shan Xiongxin stood up and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xu Maogong: “Old Shan, I suggest you bring your brothers here.

You know Li Mi's character. Whether I agree or not today, he wants to kill me when I go back, so I have no choice but to leave. And if I leave, you can't stay whether you stay or not, and he will still find ways to make trouble with you and finally kill you.

Maybe it was Pei Yuanqing who carried out this plan. Why would brothers kill each other? "

"Good fellow, I can't refute a single thing you said." Shan Xiongxin still understood Li Mi, "But although Shan was born in the underworld, he also knows loyalty and righteousness. The so-called righteous people are often butchers, but our hearts are not as dirty as those of scholars."

The meaning of this statement is very clear, he is about to sever ties with Xu Maogong.

"Well, okay, then I can only say, I wish you success in surviving." Xu Maogong felt speechless. He could understand Shan Xiongxin's choice, so it would be better to let time give the answer.

Time will give the answer no matter what. There is no right or wrong in this matter, no standard answer. Everyone will get an answer of their own. It just depends on whether the answer is the one you want.

The matter was agreed upon. Yang Guang was close at hand, so speed was of the essence. The troops were assembled at noon that day and set out in the afternoon.

In fact, there is nothing to organize soldiers, they are just VIP tickets for the front row to watch the duel. With the combat power of these animals, the soldiers are just grass for them to cut when they use the Wushuang.

Therefore, the army was organized at an extremely fast speed. Ten thousand elite soldiers with good physical condition and martial arts were selected and divided into two teams. One team of nine thousand people was to attack Yang Guang's tower ships, and the other team of one thousand light cavalry, followed by Luo Shixin, Xiong Kuohai and Li Yuanba, was to prepare an ambush to attack Yang Jian's troops.

"Here they come?" Yang Guang really wanted to curse, but he also felt extremely tired. "Let's meet the enemy."

There was nothing else to do. After all, he was in the open, driving a ship, so no conspiracy or trickery could be used. With such an obvious target, Yang Guang had to thank Yang Gui for not inventing artillery for this world in advance, otherwise he could have surrendered or committed suicide.

No matter what Yuwenzhi thought, at this moment, he had to listen to Yang Guang. Because they were tied to Yang Guang, they couldn't run away. Yuwenzhi looked at his son worriedly, "Chengdu, are you okay with your injury?"

"Dad, don't worry. Even if Pei Yuanqing is smashed to pieces, I can still kill him even if my wound isn't healed yet!" Yuwen Chengdu said gritting his teeth, holding the phoenix-wing gilded halberd upside down.

As I said before, Yuwen Chengdu learned martial arts from Yu Juro. He not only learned the skills of wielding weapons, but also horsemanship, tactics, leading troops, and fighting will. Yu Juro taught him everything.

He was not like Li Yuanba, who followed a divine master in the mountains and only learned some tricks but nothing else.

If he keeps running into a strong enemy like Li Yuanba that he cannot handle, he will despair and flee, but he will not just sit there and wait for death. Not to mention that he is now defeated by the strengthened Wu Tianxi, but he still has a great psychological advantage over Pei Yuanqing.

You are just a piece of trash who got a bargain through conspiracy and trickery, and you dare to show up in front of me?
Yuwen Chengdu is in good health. His previous injuries were all concussions, and he has recovered very well. Although he is not completely well, he thinks he can already exert more than 90% of his strength. The only thing is that a protracted battle may not be convenient for him.

But Yuwen Chengdu was confident that he didn't need a protracted war to fight Pei Yuanqing.

Within twenty strokes, I will take his head!
Yuwen Chengdu rode out on his red charcoal fire dragon horse, and as expected, the one rushing in the front was the young general with the silver hammer and silver armor.

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

"Pei Yuanqing, die!"

Yuwen Chengdu shouted loudly, urged his horse forward, and attacked with the phoenix-wing gilded halberd.

I'm not afraid of Pei Yuanqing, and it's hard to say about others. As for Yuwen Chengdu, I've beaten him before. Do you think I should be afraid of him?
He clamped his legs around him, urged the horse under him tightly, and also swung the hammer to meet him.

It has to be Yuwen Chengdu. Among the top 13 heroes in Sui and Tang Dynasties, the ranking difference is one, which is almost a gap. Even though Yuwen Chengdu's injury has not healed completely, he still suppressed Pei Yuanqing after several rounds.

It is normal to think that the phoenix-wing gilded halberd weighs 420 jin, while Pei Yuanqing's two hammers together only weigh 300 jin. With this 120-jin difference, the spear used by Qin Qiong at the end of the list only weighs 82 jin. At the end of the book, that was already enough to sweep across the world. (End of this chapter)
