Lou Xiang looked at Tu Wenzhuang blankly, as if he didn't realize the actual meaning of the sentence that the other party said lightly from Lu's mouth. Tu Wenzhuang seemed to have guessed Lou Xiang's reaction, but just looked at the other party with a smile. He knew that Lou Xiang needed time to digest the news that was equivalent to a bolt from the blue for him.

After a while, Lou Xiang stammered and asked, "Xie Zhao is back? How could Xie Zhao go back?"

"Why can't Xie Zhao go back?" She Wenzhuang smiled and fought back. "The 30,000 soldiers in Shuzhou are now all prisoners of the Zhengbei Army. Xie Shilin was in a state of panic in Bazhou. Xie Zhao had already praised the prince of Zhengbei and was willing to lead Shuzhou to surrender to the prince, on the condition that the safety of the Xie clan was preserved."

Lou Xiang was completely confused and was wandering around the circle. If it was as She Wenzhuang said, then going to Shuzhou would be a dead end. Now maybe Xie Zhao had already set up a trap and was opening his bloody mouth to wait for him to step on. Damn Cao Yi also said that everything was under control. Unexpectedly, the Northern Army had already dug out his way.

What should I do, what should I do? Cold sweat oozed out of my vest, and suddenly, he found that the world was so big that he had no place to go. He glanced at She Wenzhuang who was smiling, and his heart moved, and turned around to look at his personal soldiers, "Go, find a chair for Mr. She. How can he let Mr. She stand there!"

During the march, even Lou Xiang stood by himself.

"It's okay, there are not so many things to pay attention to on the road. Brother Lou, why not find a felt blanket and sit around and talk in detail?" She Wenzhuang said.

"Okay, okay, no problem!"

Felt blankets were everywhere in the army, and I was about to stop. Lou Xiang and Tu Wenzhuang sat cross-legged, "Sir, I will teach me!" Lou Xiang bowed.

"I dare not, I have been by Brother Lou for nearly ten years. During these ten years, Brother Lou treats me like a brother. Although Tu has bad intentions, he is deeply moved by Brother Lou and is willing to plan for Brother Lou for the last time." Tu Wenzhuang looked at Lou Xiang with a sincere expression.

Listening to Tu Wenzhuang's words, Lou Xiang's expression was extremely complicated. Looking at this friend who had been playing with him for nearly ten years, he didn't know what to say.

"Brother Lou, I'm going to tell you that your reputation among the civil servants and generals of the Northern Army is not very good, and it can even be said to be a joke."

Lou Xiang was so angry that he was embarrassed, "All this is not thanks to you!"

"Not bad!" Tu Wenzhuang said frankly: "But this is also your opportunity, Brother Lou."

“Why do you say that?”

"Brother Lou, this time your general movements may be colluded with Cao Yi and others. Our Zhengbei Prefecture has a general prediction and estimate. Most people are actually willing to watch you crash into the trap that our Zhengbei Prefecture Army has arranged. On the way to Shu, it is wiped out completely. The Shu road is difficult and difficult to reach the sky. Now, the arrangement has been made on this Shu road. Moreover, Cao Yi and the royal palace in Shu have now become prisoners. Xie An has become a puppet and put him on the table, just to complete the last blow of this plan." Tu Wenzhuang said quietly.

Lou Xiang was sweating profusely when he heard this.

"I said before that I am grateful to Brother Lou for his ten years of treatment, so I met Prince Zhengbei and after discussing with the prince in detail, the prince finally changed his mind and was willing to accept you. Brother Lou, do you know why the prince was willing to rebel against the ministers and accept you?"

"have no idea."

"It is precisely because you are the civil servants and military generals from all over the North Prefecture that everyone is unwilling to accept you!" Tu Wenzhuang said with a smile.

"What is this for?" Lou Xiang was puzzled.

"Brother Lou, isn't this simple?" Tu Wenzhuang said: "The prince swept the world and became the throne of the Tai Chi Hall. Now, in your opinion, is there any problem?"

"No, it's already a foregone conclusion!" Lou Xiang nodded.

"Yes, in the years of wars in the Northern Prefecture, civil officials and military generals have formed a circle of all sizes. These circles have their own interests. They are still fighting in all directions and can still cooperate sincerely. Once they sit in the world, there will inevitably be disputes of interests. In the early years, civil officials and military generals who conquer the world, and some local factions that surrendered in the later period, such as the Zhao family, Huang family, and the Yang family in Luzhou who hate you!"

Lou Xiang's face suddenly became unnatural again.

"These people all have their own forces and each has their own support. When the prince ascended to the Supreme Lord of the Nine Five in the future, some problems are not easy to settle. So, the prince needs some new forces, do you understand?"

"I understand!" Lou Xiang suddenly realized, "Brother Tu, you mean the lonely minister."

"Yes, I'm lonely." Tu Wenzhuang nodded and said, "Brother Lou, I'll return you to the Northern Army, with no support from top to bottom. Who will be friends with you except leaning closely against the prince and supporting you? Who dares to be friends with you?"

Lou Xiang's face was bitter.

"The prince needs new forces to balance the court, and this is the basis of your existence!"

Lou Xiang nodded, "I understand what you said. Do you mean that I will redirect the entire army and join the Northern Army now?"

"Wrong!" Tu Wenzhuang shook his head repeatedly, "Even if you surrender, Brother Lou, how can you see you directly without giving out some decent meeting gifts? Even the prince will doubt your ability and your sincerity!"

"I have nothing but these 20,000 soldiers now. Isn't these 20,000 soldiers enough?"

"Far from enough!" Tu Wenzhuang said: "Does the soldiers sent by the Zhengbei Army? I'm not hiding you General Lou. The Zhengbei Army really doesn't take your 20,000 soldiers seriously. Even if it passes in the future, it will be disbanded."

Lou Xiang's face changed drastically, "After I go there, can't these 20,000 soldiers be saved?"

"Brother Lou, I said that your future reliance is the prince and the future emperor, not these 20,000 soldiers. If you still want to keep these 20,000 soldiers, it is the way to die."

Lou Xiang was silent for a while, "Then tell me, what kind of meeting gift should I take?"

"I have already prepared this for the general and have obtained the consent of the prince. As long as it goes well, General Lou will make the first contribution in the upcoming battle to capture Shangjing. This is your meeting gift." Tu Wenzhuang smiled.

Lou Xiang was immediately excited and leaned forward, "I hope to hear the details."

"The first step is to sell Cao Yi!" Tu Wenzhuang said with a smile: "Don't the Cao and Wang families still have a group of people and property in your army now? The property is accepted with a smile. As for the people, you tied them up and sent them back to the capital and handed them over to Qin Rouni."

"Wouldn't it be better to send it back to the capital? It would be better to use it to the Prince of Zhengbei to threaten Cao Yi?" Lou Xiang said in surprise.

Tu Wenzhuang laughed, "What a man Cao Yi, how could he bow to the prince just because these people are in the hands of the prince? Moreover, the prince must have tried to leave it quickly. Therefore, it is best to leave it to Qin Rounniang."

"The plan of separation?" Lou Xiang realized something.

"It's not considered a discord. It's just putting Cao Yi's plan in front of Qin Rouniang. Think about it, in the current capital, what would she do if Qin Rouniang knew that Cao Yi and others were ready to run away?"

"Kill Cao Yi!"

"No, she will put Cao Yi in house arrest! After all, killing Cao Yi in Shangjing will cause chaos. Even if Cao Yi is placed under house arrest, people will be panic in the capital, which will make it even worse for Shangjing's defense." Tu Wenzhuang shook his head and said, "Of course, it is better to belong to Cao. The forces of the two factions of the king will fight with Qin Rounniang."

"The first step is fine, what about the second step?"

"The second step is of course you have to express your determination to Qin Rounniang. Tell her that you have already headed towards Linxiang and will definitely pick up Su Can!" Tu Wenzhuang said with a smile.

"I understand, your purpose is to annihilate Su Can."

"Not bad!" Tu Wenzhuang smiled and said, "You will attack Pukou. The Lucheng Camp stationed there will cooperate with you. They will run away in a panic. After seizing Pukou, Su Can must be overjoyed. He will all start the Huwei, from Linxiang Jiepukou to Ningxiang, and then enter the capital. Along the way, the day of his Huwei's demise."

"Where are the 50,000 tiger guards!" Lou Xiang murmured.

"Fifty thousand tiger guards, who are huddled in Linxiang and have a lot of combat power. We do have to pay a lot of price to fight, but now with you, it's a big difference. After luring him out, it will be much easier to fight in the movement." Tu Wenzhuang smiled. "Twenty thousand cavalrymen, Lucheng Camp, Panshi Camp, Yizhou Camp that chased from the south, and the five thousand Modao Team that just arrived were all prepared for Su Can."

"Modao Team?" Lou Xiang's face turned pale, and then a layer of blush appeared.

"Not bad!" A grim smile flashed across Tu Wenzhuang's face, "These more than a hundred miles are Su Can's end, and he will never get to the capital."

"It's cruel enough!" Lou Xiang murmured.

"The prince doesn't want to spend too much time under Shangjing City. Shangjing City is tall and steep. Although there are a group of miscellaneous soldiers inside, it is still difficult to take down with the city wall. Su Can's Huwei entrenched in Lin Township, only a hundred miles away from Shangjing, forming a horn with Shangjing. If Su Can is not taken away first, you will not be able to accumulate strength to take down Shangjing. What's more, after taking down Su Can, Shangjing City will lose its last hope, and the hearts of the army and the people will collapse earlier. Brother Lou, do you know now that if this battle is successful, will you be the first contribution?"

A hint of blush flashed across Lou Xiang's face, and he turned around, "Zhiyuan, Zhiyuan!"

Lin Zhiyuan was looking at She Wenzhuang worriedly from a distance. Seeing that the two of them were gradually calming down, he was also secretly amazed in his heart. He heard Lou Xiang's call and rushed over, "General!"

"Go, take my personal guards to tie up all the Cao family and Wang family members!" Lou Xiang said with a grim smile.

"Ah?" Lin Zhiyuan was shocked.

"What, tie them up and then send them to Shangjing City. This is my gift to the Empress Dowager. You can personally escort the Empress Dowager and tell the Empress Dowager that I will attack Pukou, meet with General Su Can and then return to Shangjing together." Lou Xiang said.

"I understand!" Lin Zhiyuan turned around and strode away.

"Brother Tu, can you help me with this battle and plan for me?"
