Chapter 154: The People Threaten
Li Yejin is not only an excellent emperor, but also an excellent general, in the face of the front and back attacks, Li Yejin did not face the battle head-on, but let the soldiers retreat into Yingzhou City, close the gates of Yingzhou City and Yunzhou City. After the end of the first battle, Li Yejin lost Yanzhou City, and in the previous situation, this was actually the lowest loss for Li Yejin.
Li Ye locked himself in the room and walked around the room like an angry lion. The contents of the room were thrown to the ground and were in shambles.
Li Yejin's anger ran through the entire mansion, and no one dared to approach the room he was in.
Yao Shijian stood at the gate of the courtyard for a long time. The dark clouds rolled in the sky, and the dark clouds also weighed on his heart, and he couldn't breathe.
He didn't expect that the game he had carefully set up would be broken so easily, and before he could say anything to Shanghe, he would lose completely.
Yao Shijian took a deep breath and suppressed the troubled thoughts in his heart.
No, he hasn't lost yet.
The game is originally a game of losing and winning, and only the final win is the real win.
Yao Shijian's feet stepped into the courtyard and knocked on Li Yejin's door. As soon as the door opened, something slammed into his face, causing him to dizzy and warm blood to flow out of his nose.
Yao Shijian stood there steadily, and was smashed a few more times, so that his nose and face were swollen, and he didn't dodge it at all.
"What are you doing here?" Li Ye Jin walked up to him and asked coldly, "If you stand longer, I will kill you." ”
"Your Majesty killed me, and it is not a pity for me to die. But it's a pity to lose this world. Yao Shijian said lightly.
Li Ye glared at him: "What do you mean?"
"When Xichuan City is taken back, it will not be too late for Your Majesty to hold you accountable. ”
"Hah, how easy is it to take Xichuan City? Now that they are surrounded by the front and back, Yunzhou and Yingzhou are almost unable to keep it!" Li Yejin said with a sneer.
"That's why I'm here to offer advice to Your Majesty. Yao Shijian said.
Li Ye suppressed the anger in his heart: "What's the plan?"
"The most important thing now is to block the attacks of Gongsun Yi and Gao Xuan, reorganize the army, and launch an attack. Yao Shijian said, "Now we occupy not only the four states, but also the people of the four states, has Your Majesty ever remembered what was the reason for Gongsun Yi to attack us?"
"Take back the city and save the people. Li Ye said cautiously.
"The people are the people of Shuoyun, if Gongsun Yi and Gao Xuan dare to hurt the people of Shuoyun, then they will lose the hearts of the people. Yao Shijian said, "Build the people of Shuoyun into a wall to block the siege of Gongsun Yi and Gao Xuan." ”
Although this method is vicious, it is a good strategy.
"One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, not to mention that it is necessary to unify the world!" Li Yejin's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness.
The country must be bought in exchange for the lives of countless people.
"Even if these people die, they will die!" Yao Shijian said.
Li Ye nodded solemnly: "Okay, do it like this!"
Soon, on the upper floor of Yunzhou City, in addition to archers, there were also some more people from Shuoyun.
These are the most ordinary people, from the moment Yunju was occupied, they lived in trembling, their food was robbed, and they could only live on rice bran. For these two days, there was no rice bran left, and I was hungry. When they heard that Yanzhou had been attacked by King Chen, they were all overjoyed. However, they didn't have long to be happy, and they were caught at the city gate to make a wall of flesh.
At the gate was the battlefield, full of corpses and blood, and arrows flew past the ears, but after a while, several people had already died in the stray arrows.
A day has passed, Gongsun Yi is still storming Yunzhou, and Yunzhou can't support it for long.
The defenders stood on the city wall and shouted loudly below: "Gongsun Yi, if you continue to attack the city, we will throw these people down and build a new city wall!"
"Don't kill me!"
"Lord Wang, help!"
"Help me, I still have children at home!"
Soon, the voices of the defenders were drowned out by the miserable cries of the people.
Under the city gate, Gongsun Yi sat on the horse, the bow and crossbow in his hand were opened, and he was facing the city guard, but the arrow in his hand was never released.
"General, what should I do now? Many of the people above are relatives of our officers and soldiers, which will cause unstability in the morale of the army. ”
General, this is the time when our army's morale is at its peak, and if we miss this opportunity, when Li Ye calms down, he will inevitably usher in an even greater counterattack. General, there must be no woman's kindness at this time!"
Gongsun Yi's two henchmen vied with each other to persuade him.
Gongsun Yi put down the bow and arrow in his hand: "Blow the trumpet, stop attacking." ”
"General!"
"Stop attacking!" Gongsun Yi said in a cold voice.
The subordinate did not dare to hesitate any longer, and took the order to leave, and soon the trumpet sounded.
Gongsun Yi led a group of soldiers back ten miles, set up camp, and began to discuss the matter.
"General, give Li Yejin a chance to breathe, this time Yunzhou can't be captured. ”
Gongsun Yi sat on the guard of the camp tent, leaning on it and sitting, with no expression on his face, holding his head, without saying a word.
Gu Shuiyue sat beside him, looked at the rather annoyed general, and said, "Have you ever thought that if we captured Yunzhou, the soldiers would feel if they knew that their swords were not only stained with the blood of the enemy, but also the blood of their own relatives?"
The man's face changed when Gu Shuiyue said it, and he stopped talking.
For generals, victory is the goal, but it is not to win by any means. If you want to win, you have to be hearty, and Li Yejin will not end well if he dries up and fishes like this. He didn't have the bearing to be an emperor at all.
In contrast, although Gongsun Yi was not born in the royal family, his bearing is much stronger than Li Yejin.
He is ruthless when he should be ruthless, merciful when he should be merciful, fierce to his enemies, and merciful to the people, and only such a person can make the world peaceful when he ascends the throne as emperor.
Lan Yuande asked: "The princess is right, but what to do now, you can't wait like this!"
Gongsun Yi finally spoke: "Wait." ”
...... "General, you deliberately can't get along with Lao Tzu!" You just say one word, Lao Tzu's thick nerves really can't understand it." Lan Yuande looked at Gu Shuiyue with an expression of 'begging for an explanation'.
"It won't be long before the grain escorted by Li Yejin's confidant Wang Zhen should arrive in Yanzhou City. Gu Shuiyue said.
"And then?"
Gu Shuiyue: "......" She has explained to this point, Lan Yuande still can't understand it, and she can't help it.
Lan Yuande's eyes lit up and he patted his head: "Wang Zhen didn't know that Yanzhou was taken back by us. Open the city gate and let Wang Zhen in, and he obediently sent the military grain in. And then starve Li Yejin and his little cubs to death!"
Gu Shuiyue and Gongsun Yi glanced at each other, and there was a deep meaning in their eyes.
Lan Yuande only said half of it.
On the same day, Wang Zhen escorted fifty truckloads of military rations into Yanzhou, and the guards at the city gate were all dressed as Mochizuki Army, Wang Zhen did not suspect it at all, when he entered the city gate, the door was closed, and when he looked at Yun Yao who appeared in front of him, the whole person was suddenly stupid.
"Yun Yao, aren't you dead? The fire in Coffin Valley didn't burn you?" Wang Zhen rubbed his eyes, not believing that Yun Yao was still alive at all. But no matter how long he kneaded, Yun Yao was still standing in front of him.
Wang Zhen turned his head to look, and the soldiers behind Yun Yao were all the old Gu family army who had been bullied by him, and they were all standing in front of him with hatred on their faces at this time, looking at him with resentment, as if they wanted to come up and tear him up.
As soon as Yun Yao waved his hand, those people surrounded him and arrested Wang Zhen and his subordinates.
"Bold, Yunyao, you dare to arrest me, are you going to rebel, I will let Your Majesty kill you!" Wang Zhen roared angrily.
"It's not Mochizuki here. Yun Yao said.
"Of course I know that this is not Mochizuki, this is Shuoyun, but it has been occupied by His Majesty, and it belongs to Mochizuki!"
"Wang Zhen, take a closer look. Yun Yao said.
Wang Zhen turned his head to look, from the soldiers guarding the city to the soldiers patrolling, their clothes, and behavior and habits were not Mochizuki's!
Wang Zhen's eyes widened violently, looking at Yun Yao in disbelief.
"Yanzhou has been occupied by Sun Yi, the prince of Chen. Yun Yao's words shattered Wang Zhen's last glimmer of hope.
Wang Zhen and his subordinates were all imprisoned in the dungeon, and Gongsun Yi did not order them to be killed.
That night, a letter was nailed to the gate of Yanzhou by an arrow. The gatekeeper spread it out and saw that there were red blood characters on it, and every stroke was shocking.
The goalkeeper was immediately sent to Gongsun Yi's hands. Gongsun Yi and Gu Shuiyue read the letter together.
The letter was written by Li Ye, written in the blood of the people of Yunzhou, and asked Gongsun Yi to send all the military grain to Yunzhou tonight, otherwise tomorrow, Yunzhou will have one more moat, and the water flowing in the moat is the blood of the people of Yunzhou.
After reading the letter, Gongsun Yi crumpled the letter into a ball with his hand, and with a force, he crushed the letter into crumbs.
"Li Yejin is really shameless, and the people of the entire Yunzhou have become his hostages. Gongsun Yi's eyes swelled with anger.
He has been fighting for half his life, and he may not have seen such a shameless opponent.
"Li Yejin can do whatever it takes to win. Gu Shuiyue said.
Gongsun Yi looked at her: "Ah Lan, what do you think should happen at this time?
If he repeatedly tolerates like this, Li Yejin should ask him to withdraw from Yanzhou next, otherwise he will slaughter the city, should he also withdraw at that time?
Gu Shuiyue was silent for a long time, and then said, "Give." ”
"Give?" Gongsun Yi was a little puzzled.
"The more we tolerate it, the more brutal Li Yejin becomes, the more anger can be aroused in the hearts of the people, and one day, they will be unable to bear it. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world. ”
"But how long will that last?"
"Just bear with it this once. Wang Zhen led people to escort the military rations into Yunzhou, and some of our people could be mixed in. When the time comes, unite the people, open the gate of Yunzhou City together, and ......join forces inside and outside," Gu Shuiyue said, "Capture Yunzhou City in one fell swoop!"
"Okay, but the candidate for Yunju ...... It's very dangerous. Gongsun Yi said.
"I'll go. Gu Shuiyue said.
"No, you can't. Luo Ning is brave and strategic, let him go. ”
"Li Ye is sinister and cunning, how could he not guard against this? Luo Ning faced him, and there was no possibility of getting through the trick at all. Only I can avoid his eyes. ”
"Ah Lan!" Gongsun Yi couldn't help but grab her hand, and there was disapproval written in his eyes.
This is not the first time, his Ah Lan always likes to take risks alone. The last time Luo Ning was rescued, it was also a life of nine deaths, and when Li Yejin pointed the arrow straight at her chest, Gongsun Yi also seemed to die with her once. Now that it's coming again, Gongsun Yi feels that he can't bear it in the first place.
"Mo Han, I'm going to have an accident. I still have a big revenge to avenge me, and I still have to ...... Be your queen too. Gu Shuiyue raised her head, a glimmer of light shone in her eyes, and those eyes were particularly beautiful and moving.
Gongsun Yi seemed to be submerged in that wonderful glimmer, and a warmth spread in his heart, and his Adam's apple moved up and down.
He said in a hoarse voice, "Okay." ”
Gu Shuiyue showed an even brighter smile, leaned her head on her hard chest, and listened to the sound of his strong and powerful heartbeat, Gu Shuiyue also laughed heartily.
Gongsun Yi hugged her tightly into his arms, and then sighed helplessly.
Gongsun Yirong has been a horse for half his life, ruthless and decisive, but he didn't expect to meet her, and there was really no way at all.
