I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 507
At night, Du Chang rushed to Guanghan County from Shiwanda Mountain.

The Tiangou army appeared for the first time in the Battle of Niutoushan, and showed its power. He and Yang Liushi contributed a lot.

In fact, if it appeared in other battles, the sensational effect caused by the Tengu Army should be even stronger.

After all, the key to the Battle of Niutoushan was undoubtedly the earth-shattering "Sky Thunder", which killed hundreds of thousands of people in one fell swoop, somewhat covering up the "light" of the Tiangou Army.

But no matter what, the ability Du Chang showed was affirmed by Wei Changtian, and the former also secured his position as the leader of the Tiangou Army.

It's just that no matter how amazing such an army is, it's still a bit too "shocking".

Even in Shuzhou, where the attitude towards monsters is the most peaceful, even if the people are no longer as afraid of monsters as before, it is still difficult for them to accept the Tiangou army stationed nearby.

So in the end, Wei Changtian asked Du Chang to bring the Tiangou Army back to Shiwan Dashan, and planned to temporarily use the cliff valley as the base camp of the Tiangou Army.

It does not disturb the people, and can better train troops, and can quickly reach the battlefield when using troops.

Therefore, before Datong City is built, it can be predicted that Du Chang will spend most of his time in the Shiwan Dashan.

"."

"Young Master! Brother Xianping!"

At the beginning of the Xu Dynasty, Du Chang hurriedly walked into the Guanghan county government office, and saw Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping who were discussing something.

"Brother Du."

Wei Changtian greeted him with a smile, inevitably he had to show some courtesy first.

After briefly asking about the recent situation of the Tengu Army, and then asking a few words such as "accelerate the expansion of the army", the three of them quickly got to the point.

Naturally, it is about Kuilong and Yueyuejian.

Because Du Chang lost the bet with Chu Xianping before and had eaten the Puppet Pill, Wei Changtian told him about Kuilong without any psychological burden.

And his reaction was similar to that of Chu Xianping who heard this for the first time.

Although surprised, he quickly accepted the fact that such a mysterious organization existed.

So it seems that people who do big things have at least the same characteristic——

That is, Taishan collapses before the color does not change, and it is rare to deny yourself because of changes in the external environment.

From Xu time to Zi time.

When the bright moon swam into the sky and Tsinghua University covered the green tiles of the county government, the discussion between the three finally came to an end.

In addition to "colluding confessions" and discussing in advance how to respond to Kuilong's temptation, they also determined the direction of the Shu army's next attack.

As I said before, the Shu army now has two offensive directions to choose from, north and east.

Liang Zhen tended to attack Anzhou in the north first, and wipe out the [-] imperial troops stationed there in one fell swoop.

Chu Xianping tends to attack Yangzhou in the east first, expand the territory of Shu Kingdom, and fight steadily.

Wei Changtian hadn't been able to make up his mind before, but afterward he asked Wei Xianzhi for his opinion, and now combined with Du Chang's attitude, he finally made a decision.

Attack the east first and occupy Yangzhou.

This move is mainly based on two considerations.

First, the tactical level.

In any case, there are still [-] remnants of the imperial court in Anzhou, plus the local state soldiers in Anzhou, it is not a big problem to make up a small [-] soldiers.

Although his own side plus Da Li's [-] reinforcements, the number must be superior, and with the Tiangou army, the combat power must also be superior.

But it is difficult to repeat the scene of Niutoushan in this kind of real offensive and defensive battle. Even if they win by then, there will be a lot of losses.

Ning Yongnian now has the population of thirty-five prefectures to support him, so he will definitely have an advantage in a war of attrition, so it is best for Shu not to exchange combat power like this.

Second, the strategic level.

If you choose to fight Anzhou, then the next strategic choice will most likely be to go all the way north, and fight directly to the capital in one breath.

But Dayang Prefecture is "horizontal development", and can continue to move eastward in the future, taking all the southern states of Daning as its own, forming a situation of confrontation between the north and the south with Ning Yongnian.

Although Ning Yongnian's rule cannot be quickly overthrown in this way, the advantage is that it is safe.

After all, under the influence of the turmoil in the grain market and successive wars, Daning is now riddled with holes, but everything in Shuzhou is thriving.

Under the ebb and flow, Wei Changtian felt that it would be more beneficial for him to procrastinate longer.

"."

"Okay, then this matter is settled, and I will talk to Uncle Liang tomorrow."

In the conference hall, Wei Changtian took a sip of the already weak tea: "The remaining [-] reinforcements from Dali will arrive in Guanghan the day after tomorrow, but it is inevitable that they will have to rest for a few days."

"How about this, leave [-] people to garrison Guanghan, in case Ning Yongnian kills the carbine again, and the rest of the troops will leave camp and head east in five days to attack Yangzhou!"

"Yes!"

Du Chang and Chu Xianping immediately stood up and clasped fists with serious expressions, they had no objection to such a decision.

And Wei Changtian thought for a moment, then continued:

"Brother Du, Brother Chu, I think you can go to Yangzhou first and talk to their state shepherd and chief soldier before that."

"It would be best if they were willing to surrender."

"If you don't want to, we will fight again."

"What do you say?"

"My lord is right."

Chu Xianping nodded slightly: "There are not many state troops in Yangzhou now, and they also know that they can't fight against my army, so maybe they are willing to open the city and ask for surrender."

"If you can defeat others without fighting, it will be the best."

"Indeed."

Du Chang also echoed from the side: "We have just achieved a great victory in Niutoushan, presumably everyone in Anzhou is already in danger, and this attempt to persuade them to surrender should be successful."

"Okay, then you two should go there as soon as possible."

Wei Changtian got up and walked in front of the two of them: "Take the Tiangou army with us, if we can agree, then take over Yangzhou City immediately."

"If you can't agree, then just be the vanguard of the army."

"Also tell the officials in Yangzhou that as long as they are willing to surrender, their positions will remain the same."

"Other conditions, you two can figure it out."

"."

"Yes! I will understand!"

The flames flickered, and two sonorous and forceful echoes sounded in the meeting hall.

Wei Changtian didn't know if Du Chang and Chu Xianping could successfully persuade Yangzhou to surrender, but there was no harm in trying.

After all, if the negotiation is really successful, it will save a lot of people from dying.

As for the safety of the two of them, Wei Changtian was not worried about that.

With the IQs of these two people, even if they don't arrange it themselves, they will definitely be fully prepared.

What's more, the Tengu Army went with them.

In this way, after "staying" in Guanghan City for three more days, Wei Changtian finally took care of all the important matters at hand.

Chu Xianping and Du Chang will soon take the Tiangou Army to Yangzhou for negotiations.

Liang Zhen wanted to stay in Guanghan to contact the remaining [-] Dali reinforcements to prepare for the possible Eastern Expedition.

As for Wei Changtian himself.
That of course means going back to Shuzhou City to get married.
