Chapter 102: Rebellion! Then take over Black Wind Ridge to form a pincer attack
"Shangguan Wan'er..."
Chu Yang repeated the name, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
This woman, with her sharp writing skills, was able to pin the accusation of treason so perfectly, portraying herself as an unforgivable traitor.
Even better, she also portrayed Emperor Yongning as a good emperor who was forced to sacrifice his own family for the sake of the country and the people of Zhou.
It would be a shame if someone with this ability to confuse right and wrong didn't use it to write novels.
"Shangguan Wan'er is a promising talent."
Chu Yang raised a playful smile, "If there is a chance, I will definitely bring her under my command and use her for my own benefit."
"That's what His Highness said."
"By the way, how is the situation with General Zhang Liao?"
Chu Yang seemed to remember something and asked.
"General Zhang has defeated Sun Quan's army of 100,000 just as Your Highness expected. He has now cleaned up the battlefield and will arrive at Luoyang City soon."
"it is good!"
Chu Yang nodded with satisfaction. "When Zhang Liao comes back, go and tell Wang Fugui and the others to come to my study. I have a task to arrange."
"Yes!"
Suo Si took the order and left.
a few days later.
Zhang Liao arrived at Luoyang City with hundreds of cavalry and two thousand soldiers from Luoyang City.
At the same time, they were carrying countless weapons, and it was obvious that they were returning with a great victory!
Chu Yang went out to greet him personally and led Zhang Liao to the study.
"General Zhang, this battle is truly unprecedented!"
Chu Yang said with a smile.
"It's all thanks to your highness's proper command."
Zhang Liao knelt on one knee and saluted with his fists clasped.
"Okay, get up."
Chu Yang helped Zhang Liao up and motioned for him to sit down aside.
"I wonder what instructions Your Highness has for me this time?" Zhang Liao asked.
"I summoned the general here to discuss the next plan."
Chu Yang said, pulling out a map from his sleeve and spreading it on the table, "This is the map of the Great Zhou, take a look."
Zhang Liao's eyes swept across the map and his brows furrowed slightly.
"Your Highness, this map..."
"Is there anything wrong with this map?" Chu Yang asked.
"Your Highness, the markings on this map seem to be different from the actual situation."
Zhang Liao pointed to several places on the map and said, "For example, this Black Wind Ridge is not as desolate as marked on the map, but a strategic location that is easy to defend but difficult to attack."
"For example, Daling County is not as prosperous as it is marked on the map. It is actually a barren land."
"And this official road has long been in disrepair..."
Chu Yang heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Oh? Are you so familiar with these places?"
"I used to be a bodyguard, so I know a thing or two about the topography of various places in the Great Zhou."
"I see."
Chu Yang nodded, "It seems that this map is a bit outdated."
"Your Highness, what are your plans?"
"I plan to capture this Black Wind Ridge and use it as our army's base. This way, we can form a pincer attack with Luoyang City."
A gleam of light flashed in Chu Yang's eyes, and he began to plan the situation in the Central Plains in his mind.
After all, in a few days, I will have to go to the South China Sea to deal with those Japanese bastards.
"Conquer Black Wind Ridge?"
Zhang Liao was a little surprised. "Your Highness, Black Wind Ridge is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There is a large group of bandits entrenched there. I'm afraid..."
"I know."
Chu Yang interrupted Zhang Liao and said, "But the geographical location of Black Wind Ridge is very important. If we can take it, we can connect Xuzhou and Qingzhou. We can attack when we advance and defend when we retreat. It is of great significance to our army."
"What His Highness said is absolutely true."
Zhang Liao nodded. "However, the terrain of Black Wind Ridge is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we attack by force, I'm afraid it will be..."
Chu Yang waved his hand, interrupting Zhang Liao's words, with an intriguing smile on his face.
"General Zhang, rest assured. I have my own plans in mind. Attack by force? That would be too easy for those bandits!"
Just saying.
There was a gentle knock on the study door, and Suo Si's voice came from outside the door.
"Your Highness, the King requests an audience."
“Speak of the devil, and he will appear.” Chu Yang said loudly, “Come in.”
Wang Fugui walked into the study with several deputy generals. When he saw Chu Yang and Zhang Liao, he immediately saluted respectfully.
"Your Highness, General Zhang."
"Master Wang, there is no need to be polite. Please take a seat."
Chu Yang pointed to a seat nearby. After everyone sat down, he cleared his throat and said seriously, "Now, I have been slandered by those villains in the court as a traitor who is plotting to usurp the throne. Lord Wang, I need you to draft a notice to announce it to the world!"
Wang Fugui was stunned when he heard this, a little confused, "Your Highness, I wonder what this announcement contains?"
"It's simple,"
Chu Yang raised his lips in a cold smile, "Just say that I was originally the crown prince, but was murdered by the treacherous officials in the court."
"Emperor Yongning is old and incompetent. He believed the slander and drove me out of Kyoto."
"Now, I am just rising up to seek justice for the people of the world!"
Wang Fugui couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this.
This is not an announcement, it's clearly a manifesto!
It seems that His Highness is going to break away from Kyoto completely and declare himself king!
"Your Highness, this..."
Wang Fugui hesitated for a moment and asked carefully, "Once this announcement is issued, I'm afraid there will be no room for maneuver."
Chu Yang laughed loudly, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
"Room for maneuver? What I want is no room for maneuver! Lord Wang, just do as I say!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Wang Fugui took a deep breath, he knew he had no choice.
After Wang Fugui went down to draft the announcement.
Chu Yang turned to look at Zhang Liao, his eyes gleaming.
"General Zhang, I will soon gather my troops and capture Black Wind Ridge! What do you think?"
Zhang Liao stood up, clasped his fists, and said loudly: "I am willing to be the vanguard and clear all obstacles for Your Highness!"
"Good! With General Zhang's words, I feel relieved!"
Chu Yang laughed and said, "However, this Black Wind Ridge is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We cannot take it lightly. I would like to hear your advice."
Zhang Liao looked confused, after all, Chu Yang had just mentioned his great plan for freedom.
But now he just asked Wang Fugui to write an announcement, and now he turns around and asks himself!
It makes people wonder what he is thinking.
But now that things have come to this, wouldn’t it be very embarrassing if I don’t say something?
"Your Highness, I think we can first send an elite force, disguised as merchants, to sneak into Black Wind Ridge to find out the truth."
"After we have figured out the number and combat strength of the bandits, we can formulate a detailed battle plan to ensure that there will be no mistakes."
"Well, General Zhang has a point."
Chu Yang nodded and said, "I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, you must be careful and not alert the enemy."
"Ah! This, I will obey your orders!"
Zhang Liao looked confused, not understanding what Chu Yang was thinking.
Looking at Zhang Liao's back, Chu Yang shook his head helplessly and muttered in his heart: "A military general is a military general. If he were a military advisor, I'm afraid he would have issued an edict of amnesty before taking him down."
"Well, let's just destroy this group of bandits."
