Chapter 145: The Overlord of the World vs. Female Zhuge Military Advisor 2

The night is silent and the mountains and forests are still.

Several dark shadows appeared silently near the Shangliang military camp.

A wounded soldier from Shangliang ran towards Liangying, gasping for breath, covered in wounds and blood, which immediately attracted the guards at the entrance of Liangying.

He shouted at the top of his lungs: "The Tang army has set up an ambush! Our army is trapped in Dongbi Mountain, and no one is left alive!"

No one could bear the words "no one survived". The patrol officer at the gate of Liangying shouted: "Go and report to the general!"

Chun Nian hid in the dark and saw that although the defense of Liangying was not in chaos, it was obviously moving towards the camp entrance. He led You Yunfei to sneak into Liangying from behind.

The two figures moved quickly and stealthily in the dark of Liang Camp, and followed the traces of the person who reported and found the general's tent.

There was a bright fire in the military tent, and the shadows of people walking inside were reflected on the tent.

The leader of the group in the tent was an old veteran with half-white hair, white eyebrows and beard, and a weathered face.

This person was Xu Yang. This great general of Shangliang State who had fought on the battlefield for half his life sat back on a chair, closed his eyes and asked, "Where is the messenger?"

The soldier bowed his head and reported: "That man... is dead."

No one survived.

No one survived!

Everyone in the tent was silent, except for a feminine old man who looked disapproving and even sneered.

When the generals under Xu Yang saw this, they were furious and were about to punch him to death.

"You are a eunuch who has brought disaster to the country. What ability do you have? I will kill you!"

The two attendants beside the feminine old man immediately drew their swords.

"General Xu! Take care of your men! I was sent by the Emperor!"

The old eunuch swung the whisk in his hand, and the sound was sharp, but it was directed at Xu Yang.

Song Chu angrily retorted: "The general clearly arranged to march out tomorrow morning! If you hadn't secretly ordered a night attack, how could we have been ambushed by the Tang army!"

"Victory and defeat are common in the military! It's just a trivial matter..." The eunuch's voice became higher and higher.

General Xu suddenly opened his eyes, with determination in his eyes, he stood up and drew his sword.

The sword shone with snow-white light, and blood splattered on the tent, leaving bloodstains all over.

Chun Nian, hiding in the darkness outside the tent, watched the movements of the figures inside, the light and shadows changing in his eyes, and his interest rising and falling.

Xu Yang was a shrewd man and his original plan was indeed unexpected.

In the daytime battle, Shang Liang first showed the enemy his weakness, and when Ping Tang was preparing for a night attack, he took advantage of the situation and sent a small team to harass him.

The real main attack was placed in the early morning after a tense night and two battles, the most relaxed rest period.

Xu Yang is worthy of being his uncle's rival. If the new emperor of Shangliang had not been incompetent and foolish, and if Shangliang had not had Xu Yang to stabilize the border, the completion of the campaign to pacify Tang and attack Liang would have been delayed for a few more years.

He dared to kill the military supervisor sent by Emperor Shangliang with his own hands.

Chun Nianren whispered to You Yunfei, "You will collect the old eunuch's head later."

"Collect...collected?" You Yunfei didn't understand.

Chun Nianren glanced at him sideways, his eyes were nonchalant, but they were as cold as ice.

You Yunfei instantly felt a chill on his neck, his mind became clear, and he nodded quickly.

The eunuch's body was still lying on the ground in the tent, his eyes still wide open with a look of shock on his face.

"General, we will follow you till death!"

Song Chu and others were not afraid at all. As soon as they finished speaking, there was a lot of noise outside the tent.

Song Chu frowned and ordered his subordinates: "Go and see what's going on."

Before anyone could leave, someone hurried into the tent and reported, "General, an assassin broke into the granary and burned the western granary!"

"Where are people?"

"The thief has escaped and is being apprehended. The thief is very skilled and is an expert..."

Outside the tent, Chun Nianren looked up at the moon hanging in the sky, and under the moon, flames from the granary on the upper beam were shooting up into the sky.

Counting the time, everything is going as planned.

Before long, she watched everyone in the tent leave as ordered, leaving only an aging figure in the tent. He drew out the dagger from his sleeve and quickly slid into the tent.

You Yunfei followed him in decisively.

General Xu had tears in his eyes as he looked at the Shijun Sword in his hand, and his old hand stroked the sword.

This was the Emperor's sword in the hands of the late emperor!

Suddenly, the lights in the tent went out.

A chill came over him, and the white blade quickly slashed towards his neck.

General Xu was also a veteran of many battles. He reacted quickly and subconsciously stepped back to block with his sword.

In close combat, Chun Nian reached out and grasped the opponent's scabbard, and the hand holding the blade quickly turned the dagger and slashed it towards the opponent's wrist.

The force was so fierce that it cut through the wrist, blood splattered, and the Shijun Sword fell into the woman's hand in an instant.

The woman moved swiftly, stepped on his chest, turned over, and landed steadily three steps away, creating some distance between them.

General Xu's steps were unsteady, and he retreated again and again, holding his injured hand, his old face tense, and he looked at the woman in front of him with clenched teeth.

She was very arrogant, with her face uncovered. Her brows were cold, and she had a pair of beautiful eyes like the divine bluebird.

Even though he was wearing night clothes, his movements were very graceful.

"Who are you?"

General Xu spoke in a deep and firm voice.

You Yunfei on the other side raised his knife and wrapped the old eunuch's head with black cloth.

But unexpectedly, he found that the eunuch had a rope tied around his neck.

He pulled out the black rope with a copper talisman tied to it. He held the small copper talisman shaped like a tiger or leopard and looked at Chun Nianren in confusion.

Chun Nianren nodded indifferently, and You Yunfei threw the military token to her.

She raised her hand and wrapped the black rope around her long fingers, and the military talisman fell down and dangled in the air.

However, after seeing the military token, old General Xu Yang seemed to have aged, his back relaxed, and he closed his eyes dejectedly.

The upper beam is rotten...

This is the military token used by the emperor of Shangliang to mobilize troops.

There are two military tokens of Shangliang Army.

One was handed over to Xu Yang, the general of the Shangliang Army, and the other was in the hands of the king.

This was the rule set by the late Emperor Shangliang himself.

But now, the emperor's order to mobilize troops is in the hands of this old eunuch.

Yes, the old eunuch was able to change his plan tonight and temporarily mobilize troops for a night attack. If it wasn't for the imperial decree in his hand, it must be this imperial decree to mobilize troops...

Chun Nianren picked up the sword and checked it, confirming that it was indeed Shijun's sword. When he looked up again, General Xu looked very old.

She frowned as she looked at the bronze talisman which was still stained with the old eunuch's blood, and threw the thing at Xu Yang's feet in disgust.

"General Xu, I will take the sword, and I will bear the life of this old eunuch for you. The fate of the eunuch has come to an end. General, you are a man of integrity and courage. Now that you know the situation is hopeless, it is better for you to retire."

Chun Nianren threw away the military token of a country like a worn-out shoe. Having said all his words, he drew his sword and turned away.

You Yunfei lifted the curtain, but saw her slow down and asked suspiciously, "Sir?"

Chun Nianren had her back to Xu Yang. The fire outside the curtain cast a long shadow behind her. Her voice was cold, slow and meaningful.

"If you can't protect Shangliang, you can protect the people there from war, and you will also be able to give an explanation to your ancestor."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black shadow on the ground disappeared as the curtain swayed, leaving only the flickering light of fire on the ground through the gap in the curtain.

General Xu suddenly knelt on the ground, tightly grasping the military token.

During the decades of relationship between the late emperor and his subjects, he never used the imperial decree to mobilize troops, which showed his trust and reliance on him.

Now that we meet again, the late emperor has been gone for many years, and the building is about to collapse.

"General!"

Song Chu rushed into the tent in a hurry, but was suddenly shocked when he saw the situation inside the tent and hurried to help.

General Xu Yang shook his head and asked him weakly, "What's the matter?"

"The person who just reported the news was an enemy soldier in disguise. Our soldiers who actually escaped the siege said that the night attack team is now trapped in Dongbi Mountain, but there are no major casualties. Should we send troops to rescue them?"

This is a plot that is heart-breaking.

Trapping him but not killing him means waiting for his decision.

Lin Tianzheng, Shen Junzhou.

Thinking of the two of them, General Xu looked as if he was in the twilight. He spread out his palms, which were wrinkled like ravines and his military token was stained with blood. Only his old voice could be heard.

"Ping Tang did not kill the surrendered soldiers."

The subordinates looked at him in disbelief and said, "General! What are you doing?"

General Xu took out an identical bronze talisman from his arms with trembling hands, tears streaming down his face.

This was the one that the late emperor personally handed to him. Now both military tokens were in his hands, but his country was in ruins and there was no room for recovery.

"This……"

Song Chu looked at the blood on the black rope military talisman and turned to the half-corpse lying on the side in shock.

He understood, this Shangliang Kingdom, this Shangliang Emperor, his eyes red as he knelt in front of General Xu.

"I swear to follow the general till death!"

In a secret place outside the tent, Chun Nian stood in the shadows, listening to the firm oath coming from inside. She raised her eyes to the misty moonlight between the clouds and water, and her voice was light and floating.

"The Shangliang Army has surrendered."

Xu Yang has always been committed to defense, combined with small-scale attacks, to use a protracted war to wear down Ping Tang's will to fight. This way of fighting is in line with the current situation where the Shangliang Army is outnumbered by the Ping Tang Army.

The old eunuch had a beautiful dream of being the eunuch's exclusive power. Tonight he sang a different tune from Xu Yang, and there must be spies around him fanning the flames.

It takes decades for a useful chess piece to be buried deep in the hidden corner of the upper beam.

And this chess piece was left to her by her teacher Gong Yi Zheng.
