Chapter 2: The Insufficient and the Scheming (1)

Wu Heimiao set the date for the gathering of the chieftains of Miaojiang to form an alliance on November 15th, and the location of the alliance was in Mayang.

There were seven or eight days left before the league, and Wu Heimiao found an excuse to ask Zhuoba to be responsible for the preparations for the league, so he was always by his side, discovering and destroying his plan.

What kind of person Wu Heimiao is? Zhuoba has seen clearly from the first day that he is willing to help him, for the sake of saving his life, and Zhuoba's inner ambition. Zhuoba was in his fifties at that time, and it was impossible to be independent. Not to mention how many people could follow him, the biggest fatal flaw of his lack of descendants made him repay Wu Heimiao's life-saving grace while helping him achieve hegemony. However, Wu Heimiao, who was only in his early thirties, was young and strong. Although he was not the strongest among the Miao people at that time, he relied on his plans.

Wu Heimiao forced all the Miao forces in Laershan to subdue him and achieved his current status. However, despite this, Wu Heimiao also obeyed his will. However, since he walked out of Laershan, Wu Heimiao became queen, and the relationship between the two was a little distant. Wu Heimiao's stubborn personality became increasingly prominent. He regarded everything he planned for him as a kind of bondage. Wu Heimiao wanted to break free from this bondage and wanted more freedom. Since Zhuoba's defeat this time, the relationship between the two was no longer as close as before.

"Master, last night, the king sent a dead soldier to sneak into Hong Chenggong's military camp at night and gave Hong Chenggong his unique and strange poison "Cicada Cup". "Monkey Xingkong dressed in night clothes and quietly entered Zhuoba's residence in Mayang, and whispered in Zhuoba's ear.

"Isn't it discovered?" Zhuoba asked.

"No, Master, don't worry." Xingkong grinned and said confidently.

"Has the Death Warrior succeeded?"

"I saw him successfully sneaking into the military camp and saw him leaving safely. I am not sure whether there are successful disciples." Xingkong lowered his head and said.

"Yes." Zhuoba closed his eyes and thought.

"Master, Is there anything I don't know about? "Xingkong suddenly asked.

"What's the matter?"

"Since the master knows that the opponent is strictly guarded and it is difficult to succeed in the poisoning plan, why do you recommend that the king do this?" Xingkong asked in confusion.

Zhuoba opened his eyes, turned his head and looked at Xingkong and said, "The king has a strong personality and is a person who is not easy to admit defeat. This time he suffered such a big loss and would not give up until he recovered it. This is one of them. The second is that even if he fails, it is nothing. At most, he loses a good-skilled dead soldier. If he succeeds, the official army retreats, and fails, and then finds another way."

He left without understanding, and Zhuoba couldn't calm down. He said in his heart that he did not expect Wu Heimiao to sneak into the military camp to poison Hong Chenggong successfully, but he could not control the benefits of opening up the situation after success. The question is whether he can confirm whether it was successful or failed. Once this judgment is wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable. This wise man had a little doubt about his wisdom and judgment for the first time.

"King, Yin Ji just received a reward from the spy. Something seemed to have happened in the official army. This morning, the head coach of the official army, Hong Chenggong, has never been exposed. It seems that we succeeded last night!" Yin Ji ran over to report the good news with some excitement.

"No, it's too early to draw a conclusion now. Come on, baby, should you be happy with me?" Wu Heimiao hugged Yin Ji's slim waist like a snake, and a burning look flashed in her red eyes and said, "I haven't received the taste of meat for more than ten days. Wu Heimiao, who has no love for every night, has endured it.

"Well, no, lord, it's better to wait until you marry your wife. It's not too late for Yin Ji to accompany you!" Yin Ji's watery eyes were almost dripping. In fact, she was willing to do so now, but if the girl Magu caught a slight handle and ruined Wu Heimiao's overlordship, she would be a great sin at that time, so she forced herself to resist her desire for a happy life in her heart and tried to break free from Wu Heimiao's big hand that was hot on her waist.

When it comes to marrying his wife, Wu Heimiao's desire disappeared suddenly, and the redness in his eyes gradually faded away. He gradually loosened his fingers from Yin Ji's water snake's waist, and his body also kept a distance.

"Yin Ji, I want your spies to closely monitor the movements of the official army within three days. If there is any change, I will notify me immediately." Wu Heimiao followed Zhuoba for the next ten years and was not a disciple of the official family. He had learned a lot of superficial knowledge. He was also afraid that Hong Chenggong would take the trick, so he deliberately pretended to be poisoned and lured him into being deceived, so he did not take action immediately.

To lure an old fox like Xiang Zhuoba into being deceived, it is not enough to rely on acting skills alone, but also to deceive his own people. In addition to Zheng Nansheng and a few personal guards who know the truth, everyone will deceive. From the emperor in the Forbidden City, to the governor in Wuchang City, and Huang Zongxi, Huang Degong and others who are in Chenxi County who are in charge of military supplies, they must deceive them one by one to make Zhuoba, the old fox, be fooled, because Hong Chenggong, himself did not know how the crack between Zhuoba and Wu Heimiao was. It may not be difficult to deceive Wu Heimiao, but it may not be easy to deceive Zhuoba, so naturally the more realistic the better.

First, Zheng Nansheng drafted the war report to the Governor of Huguang and the memorials of the court, which were sent out in a hurry for 800 miles. It is not ruled out that the post stations along the way were infiltrated by the Miao people, so the war report and memorials were mainly composed of Hong Chenggong who was poisoned with the same poison as Zuo Liangyu. Then, the news of the head coach being poisoned was quietly spread in the army, which made the morale of the army unstable and the morale declined. Fortunately, Zheng Nansheng was there. Some days ago, Zuo Liangyu was poisoned. Although the morale of the army was dispersed, it was basically maintained. Zheng Nansheng had to live a life of the head coach being poisoned again and took the lead alone.

The third step is the most critical. According to common sense, if the commander is poisoned and cannot lead the army, he can only withdraw his troops first and then go to other places. However, Hong Chenggong wanted to do the opposite, attack Yuanzhou City, and then betray the defeat in the attack. It is best to be defeated by the defenders in street battles and use artillery as bait. Even if all the artillery is lost, it doesn't matter. Anyway, as long as you don't put too many shells into Wu Heimiao's hands, it will not be used for the time being. Attract the defenders in Yuanzhou City from the city to pursue them until they lose their armor, lose again, and use their own defeat.

I am afraid that if he loses thousands of people, Zhuoba will make a wrong judgment, or he will not dare to make a judgment. If the calculation is not wrong, Wu Heimiao will never miss this opportunity to defeat him, because the Xiangxi Miaogang Tusi Alliance Conference was about to begin. He will show his powerful strength in front of those chieftain lords who have not surrendered to him, so that these people will surrender to his feet. Under such premise, if Zhuoba tempts and seduces him, even if Zhuoba strongly opposes, he may not insist on his own and will not listen to him.

Hong Chenggong has always acted boldly. If it were other generals, he would probably not dare to use artillery as bait. This is a powerful weapon for siege. If it falls into the hands of the opponent, no one can estimate how much trouble and casualties it will cause to his side in future battles.
