Three days later, Cheng Chumo got his two weapons and went to the army to practice with the soldiers. After a few days, he was able to make it look good. Of course, he had a good time these few nights. Yes, there were no typos. It was normal for a young man to enjoy the forbidden fruit for the first time. However, Cheng Chumo's body had been modified, and ordinary people really couldn't satisfy him. Therefore, Xiao Cui rarely got out of bed every day and was recuperating.
Unknowingly, half a month had passed, and Cheng Chumo welcomed the first snow since he had transmigrated to the Tang Empire. Winter was particularly cold this year. Chang 'an City was covered in silver and looked enchanting. All the prefectural soldiers had gathered in Chang 'an, and the entire court was operating at full speed, all for the sake of tomorrow's expedition beyond the Great Wall to attack the Turks in the north.
Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Chumo didn't sleep at home that night, but in the camp. Cheng Yaojin had to arrange military affairs, and Cheng Chumo was learning from the side. This was a rare opportunity, since such large-scale battles were relatively rare since the founding of the country.
"This expedition will be led by Li Jing. He will lead the central army through the Hexi Corridor straight to the Yin Mountains, while our Right Military Guards will lead 30,000 prefecture soldiers to attack the Liang Shidu in Dingxiang. Li Ji will lead the Left Military Guards and 30,000 prefecture soldiers through the Hetao to cut off the Turkic retreat. Everyone was discussing how Liang shi should fight.”Cheng Yaojin asked the senior guards.
"I feel that we should first instigate a rebellion. Liang Shidu's high-ranking guard, Liang Cheng, will wait until the city gates are opened before we send cavalry to charge into the city and capture Liang Shidu.”Xi Junmai said.
"This is indeed a good idea, but how can we persuade Liang Cheng to surrender?”Cheng Yaojin asked.
Xi Junmai continued," We received news that Liang Shidu is trying to suppress Liang Cheng because he has too much military power. If we give Liang Cheng great benefits, we will definitely be able to make him defect.”
"That sounds feasible. Then I'll leave this matter to Xi Jun to buy you. If it succeeds, I'll remember your merit.”Cheng Yaojin muttered.
Xi Junmai immediately saluted and said,"I will not fail my mission!”
Then, Cheng Yaojin gave some instructions to everyone." Alright, go back and prepare. We'll leave early tomorrow morning."”
"Yes," everyone sang.
"Dalang, what do you think of Xi Jun's plan to buy a high-level guard?”Cheng Yaojin asked Cheng Chumo.
"Father, I think that Senior Guard Xi's plan is basically feasible, but there are still some details that need to be perfected.”Cheng Chumo replied.
"Oh, tell me. Cheng Yaojin said in surprise."
Cheng Chumo thought for a moment and said," First of all, before we get in touch with Liang Cheng, we should spread the rumor that Liang Shidu wants to attack Liang Cheng. This will be more beneficial for our lobbyist to instigate Liang Cheng to defect. Secondly, after making contact with Liang Cheng, we can spread the news that Liang Cheng intends to join the Great Tang. This way, Liang Shidu will be even more suspicious of Liang Cheng, and Liang Cheng will be forced to side with the Great Tang. Perhaps they wouldn't even need to fight, and they would be in a mess. I call this scheme the sowing of discord.”Cheng Chu said quietly.
"Not bad, the replenishment is not bad. With this plan, taking down Dingxiang is 90% certain.”Cheng Yaojin looked at his eldest son with interest and thought, Why didn't I see that he had such great ability in the past? Could it be that after three years of not flying, he would soar into the sky and amaze the world after three years of not being famous? "How about this, Dalang, you go find the high-level guard and tell him what you just said to me.”
"Yes, Father, I'll go now!" With that, he turned around and left the tent. He walked over to Xi Junmai and told him about his plan to sow discord. Xi Junmai exclaimed," Good, good, good. As expected, a tiger father will not have a dog son. Commandant Cheng's plan is brilliant. I was originally a little worried that there might be an accident and I would not be able to persuade Liang Cheng to defect, but now I am 100% confident.”
Cheng Chumo scratched his head in embarrassment and said,"Senior Guard Xi, you flatter me. I only improved your plan a little."”
"Good, neither arrogant nor impatient. It seems that you have the potential to become a senior guard.”Xi Junmai praised him even more.
"Um, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first.”Cheng Chumo was so embarrassed by the praise that he could only escape first.
Xi Junmai looked at Cheng Chumo's back and thought," This kid isn't someone from the pool. Give him a chance and he might soar into the sky." However, she was a little shy. She was embarrassed after praising him a few times.”As he said that, he nodded and rubbed his nose as he walked back to the tent to perfect the plan.
Cheng Chumo returned to his tent. Thinking that he was about to fight a bloody battle, the blood in his body flowed faster, which made him unable to sleep. Therefore, he simply took his spiked club to the drill ground and practiced. After four hours, he returned to his tent and went to sleep when he was a little tired. He slept until the army beat the drums and gathered.
" All troops, gather. Target Baqiao." Cheng Yaojin shouted from the stage.
An hour later, Cheng Chumo followed the army to the famous Baqiao. There was a high platform in front of the Baqiao Bridge. Several high-ranking guards stood on both sides of the platform, and a valiant-looking middle-aged man stood in the middle.
Cheng Chumo thought that this was Li Shimin.
At this moment, Li Shimin said," Soldiers, I am Li Shimin. I wish all of you a prosperous military career in the northern grasslands. Kill all the Turkic thieves and capture the Jie Li Khan alive. The Great Tang will win!”
"Long live Your Majesty! The Great Tang is invincible!" All the soldiers replied.
Then, Li Shimin nodded to Li Jing, and Li Jing walked to the front of the stage and shouted,"”
" Roar!" Everyone roared three times before the entire army slowly moved.
