It's night, military aircraft department.

Dong Jihe and Wang Zhu were sitting opposite each other, Dong Jihe sorted out the letter in his hand, Wang Zhu held an abacus, his fingers were fast, and he kept crackling.

Wang Xiao walked up and asked, "Second brother, is it okay?" ”

Wang Zhu was very focused with the abacus, and after a while, he picked up his pen and wrote down a line of numbers, and then said: "Calculate, after the destruction of Linqing City, the anti-army grain and grass can only support it for another ten days." ”

"King Wu Yan can also plunder everywhere......"

"I'll count it in, and it'll be ten days."

Wang Xiao nodded and said, "Second brother has worked hard. ”

He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and said slowly: "I asked Du Zhenghe and Gao Chengyi to lead troops to harass, Tang Jie did not take the opportunity to attack Texas, and his purpose of marching west was very clear." ”

"The camp north of his city is empty." Dong Jihe flipped through the letter and said slowly: "It seems that he is going to go to Linqing again in person?" ”

"Possibly."

"If I were Tang Jie, I would choose it the same way." Dong Jihe said slowly, "Our grain storage is in Texas, and he expects that we will not dare to abandon Texas, so we don't need to surround it anymore." At the moment, they are short of food and grass, and there is no better choice. ”

"He actually led all his troops to attack Linqing, and we couldn't stop it."

"There are only 3,000 soldiers and horses in Linqing, and they can't hold it." Xia Xiangwei thought for a while and said, "It's really not good, inform General Qin to burn the grain storage in Linqing and let Tang Jiebai run for nothing." ”

"200,000 stones of grain and grass, ...... that can't be burned in a day or two"

During the conversation, seeing Wang Xiao's brows furrowing more and more, Dong Jihe couldn't help asking, "What is Master Hou thinking?" ”

"I didn't expect Tang Jie to have such great courage to really give up the camp in the north of the city. He wasn't afraid that I would run away with Zhou Yan. ”

"Will Master Hou run?"

"No, Texas is a big part of our next big deal. The uncomfortable part is here, they saw my thoughts very clearly, and calculated that I would not give up Texas. So I was thinking, if we killed Wu Tong and occupied Linqing, was Meng Jiu good? ”

"He's good?" Xia Xiangwei shuddered.

Wang Xiao said slowly: "You see, Linqing Caocang was originally in the hands of King Wu Yan's father and son, and the distribution of food and grass against the army was all said by King Wu Yan. But now, Wu Tong is dead, and Tang Jie has an excuse to capture Linqing by himself. And King Wu Yan also changed his original passivity and slackness, and looked like he was going to set foot in Texas? The next offensive is bound to intensify. How do you calculate...... For the Tang Festival? It seems to be a hundred benefits and no harm. ”

Xia Xiangwei said: "But as long as we can keep Linqing, they will have no food and grass?" It is only possible to retreat. ”

Wang Xiao was silent for a moment.

What's the one thing he didn't say? He found that he had fought with Meng Jiu, and he suddenly lost his confidence.

Thought he had won Meng Jiuyi's game? It didn't dawn on me until now...... Not really. The battle continued, but Meng Jiu's thoughts were only now apparent.

Worthy of Qianqian's master? Strategy? I am indeed far from it.

So, all of a sudden, I lost my faith......

But in this state of mind, Wang Xiao couldn't explain it to others, so he had to continue: "They only have ten days of food and grass, and it takes three to four days for so many infantry and siege equipment to get to Linqing?" Linqing City held for at least six days? And that's just at least. ”

"Not bad."

"With the 3,000 men of Qinshan Canal, I can't hold it for more than six days, so I plan to take a cavalry and rush to support Linqing City between the arrival of the Tang Festival army......"

~~

Linqing City.

The city changed hands again less than a month after it was captured by the rebels.

When Qin Shanqu led the troops to capture here, although the rebels had no main general, they still inevitably had stubborn resistance. The soldiers and horses of both sides also experienced some fighting inside and outside the city.

Other than that? The elite of the old camp that Wu Tong brought into the city also ransacked before escaping.

This commercial metropolis in the north of the Chu Dynasty was finally traumatized, and the once prosperous wharf was devastated.

These days? The people of Linqing City scolded Wu Tong for being cruel and tyrannical, and his cruelty and tyranny were conniving at his subordinates to run rampant in the market? More than a dozen people are bullied to death every day. Now that the Chu army has recaptured the city, thousands of innocent people have been destroyed overnight......

Happiness and bitterness? Death is also bitter. What are the people of Linqing more worried about? Sooner or later, the thieves will attack Linqing again.

"See? There are only so few people in the officers and soldiers......"

Qin Shanqu, who only had a few people, was in charge of the defense of the city wall, and Shi Gong began to take care of the security in the city for him.

After the initial busyness passed, Linqing City finally calmed down from this small war.

Shi Gong finally had time to deal with a trivial matter.

He wants to release the 'poisonous spider' Gu Zheyan he caught......

Shepherd, Hua Ye, Cai Wuzhen, Greyhound and other people originally didn't want to get close to Gu Zheyan anymore, they couldn't accept the twin children very well, let alone a twin child who could bite so well, and they felt panicked when they saw it. But he couldn't help but wonder how Shi Gong controlled him, so he decided to follow and take a look.

After Gu Zheyan injured Wu Tong, Wu Tong quickly pierced his eyes with his fingers, but he didn't let go of such a sharp pain, Wu Tong pinched vigorously, pinched his face and crushed his two teeth. At that time, Gu Zheyan fainted, and Wu Tong's personal guards were in a hurry to treat his injuries, but they didn't have time to deal with them immediately.

Not long after, Wu Tong died, the Chu army attacked the city, and no one could take care of Gu Zheyan anymore, so Shi Gong asked him to be carried back for treatment.

During this period, Manniang once wanted to kill him, but Shi Gong didn't stop him, but just asked: "I want to know why he is so cruel to you, but can he obey a certain family?" I'll take you to see ...... in two days."

Waiting for this night, Manniang looked at the expressions of the shepherd Huaye and others behind Shi Gong as if watching a play, and her heart became more and more desolate.

- Oh, these people are the laughing stock of others for the rest of their lives......

The group walked along the long street in the moonlight along the canal, Gu Zheyan in front was blindfolded, supported by Shi Gong, and did not say a word, even if he was seriously injured, he still maintained a graceful posture when walking.

As he walked, the shepherd suddenly said, "Do you know how Genghis Khan died?" ”

"I'm sick and dead."

The shepherd smiled and said, "When Lao Tzu was in the army before, I heard a saying that when he conquered the Western Xia Kingdom, he let the Western Xia princess be captured, and then this Western Xia princess also bit the ...... when she was sleeping with her."

"Nonsense." Hua Ye said: "He fell from his horse and died during the expedition to Western Xia. ”

"Sick and dead." Cai Wuzhen said lightly.

Hearing this, Manniang suddenly smiled.

She is a Qinglou woman, and she doesn't care too much about people opening meat in front of her. But at this time, when I think about it, it doesn't matter if others look at their own jokes, or look at Gu Zheyan's jokes. Human nature is like this, even Genghis Khan, can't escape such a fate?

After a while, the group arrived in front of a courtyard.

The yard is extremely tasteful and obviously comes at a good price. Push the door in, the courtyard is well arranged, and the flower decorations are obviously everyone's style.

When I entered the hall again, I saw that the furniture and porcelain were also extraordinary.

Gu Zheyan couldn't see it, tilted his head, and asked, "Uncle Liu, are you there?" Are you there? ”

His teeth were broken, and his voice was no longer normal.

Someone brought a person tied up from behind, but the person who was tied up was a middle-aged man with broken legs, and he looked ordinary.

Shi Gong nodded, and asked the cloth strip to be removed from the mouth of the tied man.

"Ayan! What's wrong with your eyes?! The man with the broken leg let out a cry of sorrow and began to cry heartbreakingly.

"Sixth uncle, don't cry." Gu Zheyan seemed to smile and shouted: "I have done everything that the heroes have told me, so let them let you go, it's okay...... It's okay......"

Manniang asked herself how infatuated she was with him, but she had never felt such a sincere kindness to him, and her eyes flowed down when she came, crying: "Who is he?!" ”

Gu Zheyan didn't answer, groping and stretching out his hand, wanting to find Uncle Ah Liu.

Shi Gong grabbed his collar and said, "Answer her, who are you?" ”

"Uncle Ah Liu is my benefactor, my father, and he is the only one in this world who is good to me......"

"Am I not good enough for you?!" Manniang screamed, rushed up and tried to scratch him with her fingernails. was pulled by Hua Ye.

"All my silver, my body, all my things are given to you...... What are you doing to me?! ”

"What are you?!" Gu Zheyan shouted: "You are just coveting my beauty. Uncle Ah Liu is the ...... who treats me sincerely."

When he said this, his voice gradually lowered: "I was beaten, scolded, locked up in a dark room, and they taught me how to eat, how to walk and talk, how to please men and women...... Ten years after that! ”

"Ten years! I don't live like a human at all, like a dog...... Yes, dogs. They let me have a dog, his name is Ah Hua, Ah Hua stayed with me for a month, and I ...... I'll have to kill it in the end...... I can't ......."

He spoke intermittently, his eyes were bloody, there were no tears in his eyes, and the gauze was gradually stained red.

"They say that those who do this business must not have feelings...... Forced me to kill Ah Hua...... Ha, I've never had a choice, I didn't want to do this business...... When I was humiliated by them, I was so ......"

Gu Zheyan stretched out his hand and gestured a height, and continued: "It's Uncle Ah Liu, Uncle Ah Liu desperately rescued me, and his legs were broken in order to save me...... I'm going to make him live a good life...... I can make him live a good life...... Ha, I make a lot of money, I make a lot of money with the abilities they taught me......"

As he whispered, Manniang felt that her scalp was numb, took a step back, and muttered, "Are you from Jiangnan?" Lunatic...... You're crazy......"

Shi Gong listened to this expressionlessly, and his brows did not wrinkle. But he said to Uncle Ah Liu: "You come, tell him who you are." ”

Uncle Ah was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and muttered, "Okay...... Hero, you ......"

"Say!" Shi Gong shouted, picked up a knife and slashed off one of Uncle Ah Liu's arms!

Blood sprayed all over the ground, and the screams suddenly rang out, and everyone was shocked.

"Say! You've got only one arm left, and if you don't say anything, you'll be gone......"
