Working Emperor of the Northern and Southern Dynasties

Chapter 29 Hiding in the grass, waiting for the present day

In a forest six or seven hundred steps away from Wubao, there is an extremely simple tent, surrounded by soldiers and heavily guarded.

There were only two people in the tent. One of them was a big man who was eight feet tall, with broad shoulders, a heavy back, muscular muscles, an eagle nose and big eyes, and a voice like a bear. He looked even more powerful when wearing a suit of armor.

However, at this time, this big man was as grand as his little daughter-in-law and did not dare to show off. He did not even dare to look at the woman in black standing in front of him.

The woman in black was the woman who appeared in Wutou Post. She looked at the big man in front of her and said: "General Song, are you still feeling sorry for your soldiers and generals? Do you blame me for your decision just now?

?"

The big man known as General Song respectfully said: "I don't dare!"

The woman in black snorted coldly: "In these years, you have been your grass-headed king in the Jiangling area and you have been able to get wind and rain, but you have been free and easy. As soon as I came here, I will let you use everything you have to win this place."

Wubao, why don’t you blame me in your heart?"

The big man crossed his hands and said loudly: "I have never forgotten the death of my lord and my brother. In order to avenge them these years, I have been hiding in the Jiangling area, secretly recruiting troops, thinking that one day they can be used. I am waiting for you."

This day has been a long time. Today, when I heard that the girl brought the news about the young master, my subordinates were extremely excited. Now I am willing to let my subordinates sacrifice their lives to help the young master complete his great cause!"

The woman in black nodded slightly, and the expression on her face softened, and she said: "General Song really has the spirit of caring for his elder brother. He is worthy of being my lord's humerus. In the future, he will become the young lord's arms. It is not difficult to make him a prince or a marquis."
The big man said solemnly: "Miss Ning is ridiculous. Now my subordinates only want to avenge their master and brother. As for the high official and generous salary, they don't think much about it!"

The woman in black said sadly: "Nine years ago, my lord captured Jiangzhou, and after Yingzhou, he took advantage of the victory and marched westward. The naval force was said to be two hundred thousand, and its banners were thousands of miles away. The momentum was unprecedented in any dynasty. But when they entered Baling,

, was defeated by General Wang Sengbian of Xiao Yi, your brother Song Zixian and others were killed, Ren Yue and others were captured, and our army has been in decline ever since.

Eight years ago, the Lord was killed by a sheep thief in Hudouzhou. The sheep thief sent his body to Wang Sengbian, and it was reported to Xitai, and the body was exposed in Jiankang City. The people slaughtered the meat and ate it, burned the bones and scattered the ashes.

After drinking the ashes and wine, and taking the lord's head to Jiangling, the one-eyed thief Xiao Yi ordered him to go to the market, boil and paint it, and put it in the arsenal. The state was so miserable..."

The big man surnamed Song said seriously: "I will not forget this hatred for a day!"

The woman in black walked slowly, stood behind the big man with her hands behind her back, and looked at the bandits who were attacking Wubao outside the tent. Her beautiful eyes exposed outside the black gauze narrowed slightly, revealing

With a blade-like gaze, he lightly scolded: "You keep saying that you dare not forget, but your subordinates have so far failed to show any achievements to prove your loyalty!"

The woman in black was still looking into the distance, and her voice suddenly became stern. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes or heard it with their own ears, almost no one would believe that the Howling Mountain Tiger, which was usually so majestic in the green forests of Jiangling, was scolded like a domestic slave.

.

"Miss Ning, I admit that my command is poor, but you also know that the people recruited by my subordinates are either scoundrels or people who don't have enough to eat, and they have never had any combat experience in attacking a city or a stronghold.

It’s understandable that we can’t conquer this fort…”

"It's not just poor command, it's simply incompetence!"

The dark face of the man named Song suddenly turned red, and he said excitedly: "Miss Ning, I underestimated the people in this Wubao, and accidentally... accidentally, I was killed by one of their surprise soldiers.

There was a huge chaos, and the team almost collapsed and fled. However, my subordinates immediately mobilized troops from other places to surround the Wubao. Please rest assured, girl, as long as you give me half an hour, I will be able to knock on the door.

..."

"Shut up! Failure is failure, what excuse are you looking for?"

"Do you know how important the woman in this fort is to us?"

"Do you know how important she is to today's Dog Emperor?"

"You don't have to complain to me, let alone promise me anything. I only look at your actual actions!"

The man named Song looked ashamed, lowered his head and said nothing.

The woman in black suddenly clenched her hands behind her back and said excitedly: "Hmph, if I hadn't happened to intercept the guards they sent to Jiangling to move reinforcements, you and your men would have been surrounded by Liang Jun now.

Not to mention avenging the lord and your brother, I'm afraid even you will die in this.

It's a pity that the guard who delivered the message accidentally fell and was injured. If not, how could he enter Wutou Post to ask for help? All of this is God's will. It is the spirit of the Lord and your brother in heaven that protects us!

Otherwise...you will never be able to atone for your sins even if you die!"

"Miss Ning, I realize my mistake!"

The woman in black snorted coldly: "You know you are wrong? Then why don't you seize the time to adjust your siege tactics? If you continue to attack the city blindly, the losses of your subordinates will not only increase greatly, but the morale of the army will also drop sharply.

I’m afraid it will be even more scattered!”

The big Han beggar surnamed Song said reluctantly: "Miss Ning, I don't want to either. Originally, I thought that there were not many troops in Wubao, and they just occupied the favorable location. As long as my leaders and minions use their lives, we can capture this Wubao."

It is not difficult to build the fort. Who knew that the resistance on this fort was so strong that I lost my troops. However, please rest assured, girl, my subordinate will personally lead the troops into battle and swear to break this city!"

Although this big man surnamed Song gathers in the mountains and forests, gallops through the grass, and is a tyrant, he does not have many elite soldiers. Only the two hundred or so people outside his tent can barely obey. This time, for the sake of the vengeance of his lord and brother, he

For the sake of the young master's inheritance, he plans to risk everything.

The woman in black said: "You have indeed underestimated the people guarding Wubao. Although there are not many people among them who can fight, they are united. Your pig-like men are still clamoring about how after breaking Wubao, all the men will be slaughtered.

If all the women were kidnapped, wouldn’t you be willing to resist desperately?"

Thinking about it, although Song Ziji is more brave than his brother Song Zixian, he is far inferior in strategy, so it is hard for him.

She breathed a sigh of relief, her anger subdued a little, and said: "Now that my lord has passed away, we have endured the humiliation and secretly established the 'Han Si Hall' and gathered my lord's old troops, so that when the time comes, we can ensure that the young master makes a comeback and fulfill the lord's last wish."

/p>

Humph, but the three dynasties of Zhou, Qi, and Chen, and even the puppet Houliang, spared no effort to wipe out our power. If it weren't for our secrets, this 'Han Si Tang' would have fallen apart long ago. There is one thing you did well,

Although you have become the Caotou King, no one knows your true identity, not even the most favored concubine around you, Mrs. Lu."

After hearing this, Song Ziji broke out in cold sweat. Although he had a great vengeance, after becoming the grass-head king these years, he lived a very leisurely life. After being treated like this in Wenwen Village, his desire for revenge was not as strong as before.

.

Unexpectedly, the influence of Han Sitang has penetrated into his side, and it is even clear whether his concubine Lu knows his true identity. I really don’t know how many pairs of eyes around him are staring at him.

Fortunately, he didn't have any second thoughts about his lord, otherwise he might not be alive today.

"General Song, a long-term attack is not the answer, and a fierce attack is not a good strategy. We need to find another way to deal with this matter!"

After hearing the words of the woman in black, Song Ziji raised his head and said: "Miss Ning, do you already have a good strategy in mind to break the city? Please tell your subordinates quickly whether you have an internal agent in Wubao?"<

/p>

"Wishful thinking!" The woman in black interrupted him, "I'm not a god, how could I have expected that you would attack this fortress?"

She squinted her eyes and looked into the distance, and continued with a sneer: "General Song, I'm not talking about you. You took advantage of Jiangling, an area that was almost ignored, to gather thousands of victims and used the banner of the Howling Mountain Tiger. But so what now?

?Isn’t it difficult to conquer a small fort for a long time? I have already sent someone to remind you that fighting requires bravery, but strategy is more important. If there are your people in this fort at this moment, there is no need to be here.

Embarrassed..."

Song Ziji listened to her chattering without saying what the plan was. He couldn't help but feel anxious and frowned slightly. Unexpectedly, this subtle change in expression was discovered by the sharp eyes of the woman in black.

"If you still don't like using your head from now on, the best you can do is become a grass-headed king!"

Just as a gust of cold wind blew, Song Ziji couldn't help but shiver. This woman seemed to be able to see through what was in his mind. From then on, she no longer dared to think wildly or even feel the slightest trace of blasphemy or disobedience.

The Heizi woman continued: "The most important thing is to attack the enemy with military force. Do you know why my lord was able to single-handedly bring chaos to the Liang Dynasty back then?"

Song Ziji shook his head.

The woman in black seemed to be explaining Song Ziji's doubts, but also seemed to be talking to herself: "Of course the kings of the Liang Dynasty killed each other. Xiao Yi killed Xiao Zhen, Xiao Yu, and his eldest son Xiao Fang and others also died in the civil war.

, Xiao Jin defected to the Western Wei Dynasty, and the kings Xiao Lun, Xiao Fan, and Xiao Daxin also attacked and punished each other. After the Lord invaded Taicheng, he ordered the northerners who were still slaves in the Liang Dynasty to be freed, and appointed many slaves from the noble families of the Southern Dynasty as officials.

, so that they defected one after another, and everyone was grateful and died for it. The reason why the lord's men could grow from 800 when they entered Liang to 8,000 when they raised their troops, and finally to more than 100,000 when they besieged Taicheng.

p>

What you don’t know is that after our lord failed, when we gathered these remaining forces, we were also reflecting on the reasons for this failure. What a huge force this was. Back then, our lord was able to ravage the three Wus and even establish a country.

A country has been destroyed. Although the situation is weak now, a centipede will never die... My lord raised an army in order to win the hearts of the people, but he was defeated by the hearts of the people... That's all, that's all, I'm telling you what to do.

When I came to see you, I met two people on the road. They may be of great use to you in taking Wubao!"

Song Ziji said: "Miss Ning, if you have any instructions, just send them. I will obey you!"

The woman in black looked solemn and said: "Continue to increase the intensity of the frontal attack, and don't let the defenders see any slack. Then you will have your elite troops, under the leadership of that person, to secretly raid Wubao. It will be a big deal."

Kecheng, remember to save the life of the woman named Wang, I am still of great use. The person I found for you is outside the tent, you can go on your own."

"No!" Song Ziji clasped his fists and turned around to leave the tent.

Looking at his back, the woman in black nodded slightly, with an intriguing smile on her lips...
