At this time, King Wu Yan was leading his troops to surround the Chu army near the snow shelter in the east of Dezhou City.

The snow shelter was originally called 'Liujiadian', after Zhou Xiande five years, Zhao Kuangyin led the troops to pass through here, and the heavy snow could not march, so he was stationed here. Two years later, Zhao Kuangyin added the imperial robe, and called the emperor on behalf of Zhou, and after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, this place was renamed 'Snow Shelter'.

The Chu army wanted to flee south, but there were all kinds of people in the team, so naturally they couldn't escape quickly, so they were surrounded by King Wu Yan again.

The Guanning Iron Cavalry, the Shenji Battalion, and the Shandong soldiers and horses were all elite, and King Wu Yan did not dare to attack hard, so he planned to continue to surround the Chu army until it ran out of food.

There are not many food and herbs in the Chu army, so I think it shouldn't last for ten days and a half months.

As for King Wu Yan's side, although there was still grain and grass on his side, he planned to use this side to chase down Emperor Chu and hide more money and grain, so he planned to send people to attack Dezhou, and Li Bobo came.

King Wu Yan was not even afraid of Meng Jiu, and naturally he was not afraid of Li Baibo.

But one is that Li Baibo brought a holy decree not to allow King Wu Yan to plunder, and the other is that Li Baibo can go to Dezhou City alone to persuade him to surrender.

If you don't loot, don't loot, King Wu Yan doesn't want to do too much under Tang Zhongyuan's nose.

He didn't want to go too far, but he didn't expect Tang Jie to be quite excessive, and he actually sent someone to ask him for food.

Tang Jie and Meng Jiu led the people to continue to pursue Emperor Chu along the coast, and let his subordinate Li Hongji lead 2,000 people to the army of King Wu Yan, and said very nicely - "Don't bother Wu Shuai, and finally escort the grain and grass to the army of the Three Highnesses." ”

It was as if King Wu Ha would promise to give grain and grass......

The two were arguing in the tent, and the soldier over there announced: "Master Li is here." ”

Li Hongji did not shy away from it, and planned to let Li Baibo help him ask for food again.

He looked over, but saw that Li Baibo was followed by several Cao gang heroes, all with leopard heads and eyes, looking quite fierce.

Li Hong was basically a post soldier in Shaanxi, who was once dismissed because of the loss of official documents, and he was desperate to join the army. At this time, seeing that the ghost loach's eyes were full of lean and cold air, he thought in his heart: "That is, the emperor of the Chu Dynasty did not drop the jobs of these people on the canal, otherwise if these people rebelled, I am afraid that the world of the Chu Dynasty would have been lost......"

When Li Baibo heard about the Tang Festival's request for grain, he was generous to King Wu Yan and persuaded him to give the grain and grass to Tang Jie.

King Wu Yan still refused, and snorted coldly: "The Chu army has some combat strength, and it is difficult to attack. I don't know how long my army will besiege, if I turn around and the grain and grass are gone, can you afford it? ”

"Don't worry about Wu Shuai, I came today to offer a strategy for Wu Shuai, and to plan the remnants of the Chu Dynasty." Li Baibo smiled and said, "I have persuaded Dezhou Jingwu to surrender to the Great Rui Dynasty. Please make a feint, let go of the siege in the west, let them enter the city of Dezhou, and ambush an elite army in the city, and then close the city gate, and take Zhou Yan's life like catching a turtle in an urn......"

King Wu Yan's eyes were dewed and pensive.

Li Baibo said again: "This plan, one can pacify Chu as soon as possible, and the other can also avoid Wu Shuai's loss of troops." By the way, I know that this time to chase Chu Sin, Wu Shuai spent a lot of money. In this way, when the war is a little calmer, Wu Shuai will take the grain and grass in the Texas Caocang for himself. ”

King Wu Yan nodded, but said again: "There is not much grain and grass in our army, so now let Dezhou open the city gate and transport the grain and grass from Caocang." ”

"No." Li Baibo said: "I don't take Texas for the time being, that is, I want to make it look like Texas is still under the rule of the Chu Dynasty, if the remnants of the Chu Dynasty are alarmed now, what if they refuse to enter the urn?" By the way, Gang Leader Qiu, how much grain is still in the Cao Cang now? ”

Li Baibo said that, and led the ghost loach out.

The ghost loach seems to be rude, but it is extremely familiar with these things and tells them eloquently.

"Huai, Xu, Lin, De four warehouses, support the world's grain and grass three or four out of ten, Chu opened the country, a year to transport 4.5 million stones, four warehouses will be transported 2.8 million stones. During the reign of Ruizong, there was too much grain stored in Dezhou Cao, and it was not used for a long time, so that the grain was rotten, so it began to transport 350,000 stones to the capital every year...... In recent years, it has been a famine year, and the grain storage is gradually decreasing, but the capital does not know the exact amount of grain stored in the Cao warehouse, and when the Emperor Rui entered Beijing, there happened to be a batch of grain to be delivered, and now there is a million stones of grain in the Cao warehouse. ”

The number of 'one million stones' came into his ears, and King Wu Yan changed color slightly, looked at Li Baibo, and asked politely: "These grains ...... No need to be escorted into Beijing? ”

Li Baibo smiled and said, "When Wu Shuai annihilates Zhou Yan, Your Majesty will let Wu Shuai pacify Jiangnan." And why go back and forth? ”

When King Wu heard this, he thought about it.

- With this food, you can recruit troops and expand your own troops. When the time comes, he will take Jiangnan, and he will have soldiers, land and money in his hands, how will Tang Zhongyuan move himself? It is not impossible to tear the soil and rule the river......

He knew that Li Baibo came alone, but he didn't expect him to play any tricks, so he nodded in response.

Over there, Li Baibo led people to retreat, and out of the big tent of King Wu Yan, he asked the ghost loach to go first, and he whispered to Li Hongji.

The ghost loach watched Li Baibo and Li Hongji go away, but they returned to King Wu Yan's tent again.

King Wu Yan was slightly stunned when he saw him returning.

The ghost loach's small eyes flashed like a slit, and he said in a low voice: "I speculate with the handsome, and since I should take refuge in the handsome, how can I be with the poor scholar surnamed Li." There is one thing, after thinking about it, I still tell the big handsome...... The one surnamed Li is actually lying to you. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"There have been disasters and famines all these years, where can there be food in the Chu Dynasty? This year, the batch of grain was transported to Linqing, and our Darui Emperor had already taken Chujing, and the Cao Yun was put aside, and the grain was still in Linqing. In fact, there is no food ...... in Caocang, Texas."

"Why did Li Baibo lie to me?"

"On his side, he asked the marshal to take food to support the war, and also distributed it to the army of the three highnesses, and only gave the marshal a white note. After the matter is done, the handsome man opens the Texas Caocang, what can he do without food? The ghost loach said: "He will find another excuse and let you lead the army back to Beijing." He himself must go to Linqing Caocang again to get grain. ”

King Wu Yan was furious when he heard this, but he thought about it calmly and asked, "What you said is true?" ”

"If the marshal doesn't believe it, just send someone to Deqing Caocang to take a look......"

~~

At the same time, Li Baibo said to Li Hongji: "You quickly return to the army of the Third Highness, so that he and Meng Junshi don't have to chase Emperor Chu anymore." Since Emperor Chu had already run away on a sea boat, they couldn't catch up. It's better to go back and get the grain from Caocang, Texas for Your Majesty. ”

"But the king of Wu Yan ......"

"Don't worry, I let the ghost loach use a trick to trick him, and then I will trick him into Linqing." A smile hung on the corner of Li Baibo's mouth, and he said slowly: "Give him a ...... to steal beams and change pillars."

~~

The next day, Wu Tong came out of Dezhou City, without armor, just dressed in ordinary clothes.

His face was extremely ugly, because he had been ordered by his father, King Wu Yan, to inspect the grain in Caocang last night. The sacks were pierced one by one, only the outer layer had grain, and the inner sacks were all sand.

Li Baibo is really a liar.

Wu Tong only felt extremely depressed in his heart - his Wu family's father and son were born and died for Da Rui, and this time Uncle Wu died. The new emperor still has to take food from the Wu family's pocket.

Thinking like this, Wu Tong had a plan in his heart. When Zhou Yan is captured, he will let his father go south along the canal, go straight to Linqing, occupy Linqing Caocang, and let Li Baibo, a dead liar, suffer a loss.

At this time, Dezhou City was already under martial law, and it was still nominally the territory of the Chu Dynasty, but the Dezhou Gang naturally had a way to enter and exit freely, so the ghost loach led people to send Wu Tong out of the city all the way.

After sending Wu Tong away, when they returned to the city, they saw many refugees lined up at the city gate.

The greyhound was also a little enthusiastic, and he immediately stepped forward and shouted to the refugees at the city gate: "Don't wait, the city gate will not open, flee to the south." ”

"What are you going to run away from, sooner or later, let Rui Chao beat it down." Hua Ye scolded, then took out the token of the official mansion and stepped forward to call the door.

He had just passed through the refugees, and before they had reached the city gate, someone suddenly slapped him on the shoulder.

"Hey, old flower."

Hua Ye turned his head to look, and after being slightly stunned, his face was filled with joy.

"Hey, sheep thief, I haven't seen you in two years, you ...... hair"

"Let's talk about ...... when we go into town"
