Chapter 925: Must Watch the Fire from the Other Shore

These arrangements Shé Zhàng Wēng made in Guiling County were definitely not completed overnight, perhaps it was the hard work of years or even more than ten years.

He racked his brains to cover up, just waiting for one day when the Wise King would raise his arms and shout, and then the heroes would respond, leading the army out of Guiling to seek the world.

As a result, Qian Fugui drilled in now, killing everywhere, Shé Zhàng Wēng couldn't sit still!

Even if that place is not his only old nest, it must be an old nest he values very much.

"I didn't quite understand why Shé Zhàng Wēng would choose to assist Gu Wenjie before, but now I finally understand. This person... his mind is indeed meticulous." Xu Zengyi couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Wuji nodded, "Step by step, secretly weaving the net, lurking and waiting for the King's order. Although he is an opponent, I have to admit that this is a talent."

Shé Zhàng Wēng did many things that were very puzzling. Chen Wuji and Xu Zengyi had discussed it more than once, and they didn't understand it at the time.

But now, when knowing that he and Li Yu stood together, both were subordinates of the Wise King, plus his many arrangements in Guiling County, everything became clear at a glance.

Shé Zhàng Wēng assisting Gu Wenjie was just to replicate Guiling County in Nan Jun, secretly arranging forces, quietly turning Nan Jun into a piece of territory controlled only by Shé Zhàng Wēng, waiting for the Wise King's order.

It's just that the situation in Nan Jun was obviously countless times more complicated than Guiling County, and the forces were also more mixed and powerful.

And the most fatal thing was that when Shé Zhàng Wēng's own strength was still weak, he happened to be against Chen Wuji.

Perhaps he had carefully selected Yunan County as a place to cultivate his 'gu' and secretly nurture his own forces, never expecting that the Chen Clan would suddenly rise up as a new power.

Xu Zengyi laughed suddenly, "No wonder Shé Zhàng Wēng wanted to use the Jianghu forces of almost the entire Nan Jun to assassinate the Lord so frantically. He was forced into a corner by the Lord, and his anger was attacking his heart."

"I can see it now too." Chen Wuji laughed.

Being able to make Shé Zhàng Wēng break his defense was still very pleasing.

"We can confirm one point now, the Wise King's line is good at hiding!" Chen Wuji sat up straight, his expression adding a bit of gravity, "Shé Zhàng Wēng can manage Guiling County to this step, we have reason to suspect that there must be similar means in other places."

"The purpose of the Wise King, or to put it directly, Shé Zhàng Wēng, preparing these means is still to want to quickly occupy the south of Dayu when the world changes. This coincides with the purpose of Yan Yan and Ruan Yuchang knowing clearly that the court army was dispatched south."

"And wanting to achieve such a purpose, relying only on the military strength of Guiling County, is too weak! Such a mob controlled by A Furong might be okay for marginal battlefields, but it doesn't have the ability to charge into the fray."

"Shé Zhàng Wēng must have other means in other places. We can determine that Shé Zhàng Wēng is not good at training troops and does not know battle formations, but he absolutely cannot fail to see this point."

"We have been dealing with this person for too long. He doesn't look like the kind of arrogant person, but cautious and insidious, and ruthless in his actions."

Xu Zengyi's gaze was somewhat absent-minded, mechanically picking up the teapot to pour himself a cup of tea, drank a big mouthful, and then said: "Nanyue County should also have backhands left by Shé Zhàng Wēng. Lord, this battle is afraid it will be somewhat difficult to fight."

"Already felt it." Chen Wuji straightened his legs and stretched his muscles hard, then told Xu Zengyi about the suggestions of Liu Yan and Yu Shumei.

"Sir, calculate it. Given the current situation, can our army move? To be honest, I am really moved by the things Liu Yan said."

Xu Zengyi drank tea, thought seriously for a moment, and shook his head, "Lord, my suggestion is to wait and see for the time being. In the small place of Yanzhou, more than sixty thousand troops have gathered now. This number is too huge, and it will be destroyed easily."

"Our army has been baptized by two years of war and can be called strong and sturdy, but in the Yanzhou situation, the water is too deep and the whirlpool is too big. The best choice for our army at present is to leave enough retreat, stick to the area from Xinglin Town to Guiling County, and wait and see."

"The current Yanzhou and even the entire Nanyue County are the struggles of the three major forces of the court outside the court. It is better to give them a chance to bite each other like dogs. If the Lord takes action now, it will easily make them, who are already falling apart, form an alliance again."

Chen Wuji exhaled, "Although I know this is the best choice, it is still somewhat regrettable."

"Liu Yan's suggestion of active surrender is good, but I feel that in this battle, Yan Yan's line shouldn't be able to take any advantage. He is too anxious." Xu Zengyi said.

"And Yan Yan's opponents, whether it is Ruan Yuchang or the Wise King, one is deeper than the other. Except for the backhands hidden in other troops, Yan Yan's moves are almost exhausted, but Ruan Yuchang and the Wise King don't seem to have made a move yet."

Chen Wuji nodded seriously, "It seems to be the case. Then wait and see. Taking advantage of this time, we also engage in the rear and manage the things behind us."

"Is the Lord worried about Yang Yu?" Xu Zengyi raised his head suddenly.

Chen Wuji pondered for a long while, his expression somewhat complicated and said: "We should be worried about Yang Yu, but we cannot show our worry now. This matter... I have a headache."

"Lord, our army's battle line is now dragged too long. Because of Shenxianling, it is very likely that there will be a situation where the north and south do not look after each other. This subordinate suggests that Shendu can cut some meat for Yang Yu in exchange for his troops entering the Uyghurs." Xu Zengyi said.

Chen Wuji raised his eyebrows, "Such an obvious conspiracy, I am afraid Yang Yu will not be fooled, right?"

"He should!" Xu Zengyi said confidently.

"This person Yang Yu is too steady. He is like an old man who has lived in luxury for a lifetime. Every meal he eats, he has to chew carefully, and he has to chew the food extremely delicately. Only after the taste is chewed through will he swallow it."

"Because of the geography, Yang Yu attaches great importance to Shendu. His purpose is very clear. At least for the moment, he has abandoned the north of the six counties, actively allied with the Lord, and set his attention on the south."

"If there is no accident, what he should do next is to use Shendu as a springboard to occupy Luoze County, and then plot the entire Shendu, and our Dayu's real southern territory, with Nan Jun as the boundary. In the short term, he should not turn against the Lord."

Chen Wuji had a headache, "But no one likes to be in a corner."

"Yes, but whether it is the Lord or Yang Yu, at present, they haven't reached the step of needing to consider this matter." Xu Zengyi said, "It's just that what should be guarded against should still be guarded against. Chen Third Uncle probably still needs to continue to sit in Guangtongzhou and train a strong army that can firmly guard the south of Nan Jun." ===== CHAPTER 926 =====
