Chapter 2042, Undercurrents

On the other side.
Within the territory of Da Chu.
Chu Yunteng and others also received the news of the deployment of all troops by the Great Tang to reinforce the front line.
Upon hearing this news, Chu Yunteng and others were overjoyed, laughing so much that they couldn't close their mouths, as if they had already won over the Great Tang.
"Hahaha, that's great! It's a huge deal! Tang Yu finally couldn't hold on any longer, and intends to reinforce all remaining forces to support Da Han. Obviously, they are planning to have a decisive battle with Da Han!"
"Our chance has come! Once all the forces of the Tang Dynasty reinforce the front lines, we can take advantage of the opportunity and strike at the heart of the enemy!"
"As the saying goes, 'When two parties fight, the third party benefits.' Tang Yu could never have dreamed that we would become the biggest winners of this war. Once we occupy the Tang Dynasty, the armies of Tang Yu and others will be like stray dogs, facing national crises and unable to return home! Hahaha!"
Chen Longhu and others burst into laughter.
In their eyes, this was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as their plan could succeed, there would never be another Tang Dynasty in the world from now on.
Overthrow the Great Tang, they are destined to win!
Even Chu Yunteng had a smile on the corner of his mouth. Enduring humiliation and carrying a heavy burden for so long, isn't it just waiting for this day to come?
"Mr. Zhuge, do you think we can take action now?"
Chu Yunteng looked at Zhuge Yun.
As the words fell,
All the people present looked at Zhuge Yun, their eyes full of respect.
Now, no matter Chen Longhu or Zhou Shaotian, they dare not underestimate Zhuge Yun anymore.
Previously, they did not understand why Zhuge Yun did not send troops to reinforce the Han Dynasty, but when they learned about Zhuge Yun's true plan, Chen Longhu and others were filled with admiration for him.
Although it seemed that they had formed an alliance, in reality Zhuge Yun was their backbone.
With a thoughtful pause, Zhuge Yun responded, "Let's not rush for now. Although we currently have the advantage, we should wait until the army of Tang Dynasty crosses the border before taking action."
"The more critical the moment is, the more we must not take it lightly."
"Think about it, what if this is a trap set by Tang Yu? The reason he sent troops to reinforce us is to lure us into action. If Tang Yu leads his army to launch a surprise attack, the consequences would be unimaginable."
The voice of Zhuge Yun is not loud, but it carries weight.
As soon as this statement came out, the faces of Chu Yunteng and others also became serious.
Although this is just Zhuge Yun's personal speculation, it must be said that Zhuge Yun's analysis is very reasonable.
When facing an opponent like Tang Yu, who is cunning and tricky, they must be extremely cautious. Any slight negligence could lead to the loss of all previous achievements!
"Mr. Zhuge is right. We cannot take Tang Yu lightly. I agree that we should wait until the Tang troops leave the border before taking action!"
"Agreed! Once the military forces of the Great Tang go beyond the border, the entire Great Tang will fall into a state of chaos without a leader. It will be as easy as pie for us to occupy the Great Tang, just like taking something from an open bag!"
"Hahaha, if we can really annihilate the Tang Dynasty this time, then the world will be ours from now on. There will be no one else in this world who can be our opponent!"
Chen Longhu and others were filled with excitement, as if they believed that the Tang Dynasty was destined to be annihilated.
Soon after.
Chu Yunteng and others received the news again that the reinforcements sent by the Tang Dynasty had crossed the border.
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze locked onto Zhuge Yun.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a sinister smile appeared at the corner of Zhuge Yun's mouth as he said, "Gentlemen, the time is ripe, and the opportunity to overthrow the Tang Dynasty is just within our grasp!"
"You can start now!"
In an instant, Chu Yunteng and others seemed to be infused with energy.
Chu Yunteng was the first to stand up and said, "I want to personally lead the troops, just like Tang Yu. This time, our Great Chu will send out a hundred thousand soldiers to attack the Tang Dynasty!"
Chen Longhu and Zhou Shaotian also stood up and said, "Count us in!"
At this moment, Chu Yunteng and others all wanted to be the first ones to taste the crab.
Once they successfully occupied the Tang dynasty, it also meant that they would gain more benefits.
However, Zhuge Yun looked at Chu Yunteng and shook his head, saying: "Your Majesty, Da Chu still needs you to personally take charge. Let Northern Qi and Da Zhou handle this together."
Hearing this, Chen Longhu and Zhou Shaotian were delighted and bowed to Zhuge Yun, saying, "Thank you, Mr Zhuge!"
In their eyes, what Zhuge Yun did can be said to have given them the greatest benefits.
As long as they can occupy the Tang Dynasty, the first thing they want to snatch is not gold, silver, or jewelry, but the modern weapons owned by the Tang Dynasty!
"Hold on for a moment before you get too excited."
"Here's my plan: Both the Northern Qi and Da Zhou will send a total of 200,000 troops, and the first place to attack will not be the capital, but the border cities of the Tang Dynasty!"
Zhuge Yun pointed to a city on the map.
Seeing this scene, Chen Longhu and Zhou Shaotian frowned.
Originally, the two of them thought they were being sent to attack directly into the capital, but they didn't expect it was only to attack a city.
"Mr. Zhuge, forgive me for being blunt, but why do we need a 200,000-strong army for such a small city? I think 50,000 would be enough..."
Before Chen Longhu could finish speaking,
Zhuge Yun shook his head and said, "Qihuang, you don't understand. Despite its size, this city is of vital importance. If we want to overthrow the Tang Dynasty, this city plays a crucial role!"
"First of all, by occupying this city, we can completely sever the communication between Tang Yu and the capital city. The front line will be unable to receive supplies, and DaHan will definitely launch a furious counterattack. By then, we might not even need to take action ourselves - Tang Yu and DaHan will likely end up mutually destroying each other."
"In addition, Tang Yu and others can't go back to the capital, and the people in the capital can't come out. This way, we can slowly invade the Tang Dynasty!"
Hearing Zhuge Yun's plan, Chu Yunteng and others present all took a cold breath.
Chu Yunteng exclaimed repeatedly, saying, "Amazing, truly amazing! With this, both Da Tang and Tang Yu are destined to die without a doubt!"
Chen Longhu and Zhou Shaotian also nodded in agreement, once again being impressed by Zhuge Yun's intelligence.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Zhuge, just wait for our good news!"
After saying that, Chen Longhu and Zhou Shaotian turned and left, each leading a hundred thousand troops to rush to the border of the Tang Dynasty.
Staring at the backs of Chen Longhu and others as they left, Zhuge Yun's brow furrowed.
For some reason, he had a bad feeling, as if the attack on the Great Tang this time wasn't as simple as he thought.
……
The Great Tang border.
Qilu Fu and Xu Shize came to the city wall.
Mu Zhan led the Imperial Guards to arrive in front of the two, saying, "Report to the two prime ministers, everything has been arranged. All the soldiers are hiding in the dark as you instructed."
Hearing this, Xu Shize and Qilu Fu nodded slightly.
Qilu Fu looked at Xu Shize and said, "Do you think the states of Da Chu and others will fall into the trap?"
Xu Shize's mouth curled up with a confident smile and said, "They definitely will!"
At this moment, a soldier came to the two and delivered the news of Chen Longhu and Zhou Shaotian sending troops to Xu Shize.
"They indeed came!"
For a moment, the seemingly calm city was actually seething with hidden currents!
