Chapter 667: See the Move
The barracks was in a mess, there were many fires everywhere, Zhai Rang's soldiers and horses were not good at fighting, and they had just returned in fear without even eating before they encountered another attack on the camp, they were all experiencing it for the first time and had almost no adaptability.
Didn't know what to do.
Those who have experience are all the first to take care of the salary.
Li Jiancheng led people to maintain their rhythm, and they have been looking for grain and grass for some results, and they burned a lot of materials in his hands.
The sound of arrows sounded, and Li Yuanji led people to start an attack with all their might, so that the enemy had no time to take care of other things, which was to provide cover for Li Jiancheng.
Then the Li cavalry led people to rush out of the encirclement.
The people led by Li Yuanji did not really fight for their lives with each other, and when they saw the cavalry coming out, they retreated.
The fire lasted until the early hours of the morning, and the barracks that had been burned down in the morning were in shambles, Zhai Rang lost a lot of men and horses, and all the food they brought was also destroyed.
When the statistics came out, Zhai Rang understood why most people went to protect food and salary at that time, and this kind of problem can only be said that he is too young.
The food is gone, and it is a big blow to the period.
Soon, a few generals found him and directly expressed that they would belong to the past, that they would be responsible for the grain and grass, and that there were many people who gave benefits.
Of course, Zhai Rang considered it, but such attachment is equivalent to directly handing over all his people, after all, he is a copycat leader, not a person in the officialdom.
He really didn't think about anything else except wanting to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of it.
wants him to become someone else's subordinate, where is he free to be the leader of the cottage, so he is not ready to consider the recruitment of these people.
It's not that he doesn't get impressed, but the situation is stronger than people.
If the crusade against Taiyuan Mansion is not successful, it is a big deal to return to Wagang and continue to be his king of the mountain.
"Generals, the night attack of the Li family in Taiyuan has caused a lot of losses, fortunately, your grain and grass are stored separately so that they will not all be destroyed, in the face of a strong enemy, our strength is still weak, and we need the support of the imperial court at present, what do you think?"
"Well, although we hold on to some food, after all, there are losses, and the lack of material reserves has directly affected our encirclement plan."
"Now you need to jointly ask the court for food, you won't refuse, right?"
"Of course not."
Zhai Rang listened to their plan, although he didn't know much about the situation, but he heard the matter of asking the imperial court for supplies, and he seemed to be a volunteer soldier, and he should be able to support him.
As long as he can get the food supplied by the imperial court, he doesn't have to be so passive, and now these people here should be thinking about how to use him instead of really helping him.
"My Wagang soldiers have suffered a lot of losses, and it would be great if the imperial court could provide grain and grass." Zhai Rang immediately expressed his opinion.
At this time, he really saw what it means to be soft-spoken, and after he finished speaking, everyone present ignored him.
He also knows his own situation, but there are always 10,000 soldiers and horses, which may not be anything compared to the total strength, but the people here do not have 100,000 soldiers and horses alone.
The strength is almost the same, but it can't be that he was born in the green forest.
"General Zhai said well, but who should be sent to Jiangling to handle this matter?" Someone is embarrassed.
Zhai Rang didn't know, it was clear that he wanted to dump the pot, and the benefits would still be reaped.
"I think General Zhai is a good candidate, you can send our joint document to Your Majesty, and it can be done."
"In that case, is General Zhai willing to make this trip?" Someone said again.
Zhai Rangxin said that he went to the general to meet the emperor, and it was very difficult for him to think as the leader of the cottage, but on the other hand, if things really succeeded, his prestige and benefits would undoubtedly be the greatest.
There is also the siege of Taiyuan Mansion, he has already seen the strength of the Li family's soldiers and horses, if he is asked to be a pioneer, I am afraid that his soldiers and horses will be lost here.
If you can easily get the maximum profit, why should you risk your own life and that of your brothers?
After a while, he figured it out, he was going in the name of the leader of the volunteers, and it was justified to write according to the emperor's ascension, and he was delivering information to so many people, and he had no reason to refuse this kind of work.
"Okay, I'll take care of that."
Zhai Rang made a statement, and everyone's expressions instantly turned into smiling faces, as if they really affirmed that his actions were responsible, and specially provided them with food and grass back and forth.
On the city wall of Taiyuan Mansion, the soldiers were all hiding on the city wall like yesterday, and they were a little bored.
Li Yuan didn't even come to the city wall, as if he knew that this was the case today.
"Today, the enemy did not send people to attack the city, their siege but not attack must be to trap us to death and succeed, how many supplies they have not found out, what to do next, please ask my father to order."
Li Jiancheng came back in the evening and told the matter at the time, at this time, there is no need to think that the other party's losses were so serious yesterday, it would be strange if they could attack the city today.
"Father, don't we really need to do something?" Li Jiancheng asked.
Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng a little anxious, and said in his heart that his eldest son, who was both civil and military, was not calm enough, and suddenly remembered what Li Shimin would say if he was here.
It's a pity that Li Shimin is not here, there is nothing to guess.
"Built my son, the people outside the city are a rabble, don't you see their purpose?" Li Yuan asked in a deep voice.
Li Jiancheng was asked like this, he didn't have any ideas, he immediately came to his senses, he knew that if there was no purpose, his father would not be able to say this.
After thinking about it quickly, I found that there seemed to be a lot worth scrutinizing, and it was said that the strategy of these people besieging but not attacking was a bit strange, especially when they also sent people to attack the city, and in the end they were all afraid of death.
He was thinking quickly and cleared his mind.
"Ask my father for advice." Li Jiancheng really couldn't think of it, so he could only ask.
Li Yuan did not blame Li Jiancheng for not coming up with it, but patiently explained.
"They besieged but did not attack, and even after being attacked the camp, they did not choose to retreat, either they were sure of victory, or they were able to gain greater benefits than their losses." Li Yuan said.
"The purpose of these people is not pure, their hearts don't want to lose their strength here, now we just have to wait, don't forget to pass the news to Yuanji, wait for the opportunity or take the opportunity in your own hands to be safe."
Li Yuan didn't know the other party's situation, it was all by analyzing what the other party was planning, and at the moment, this situation can only be a move.
"Yes, I'm going to get someone to deliver the letter." Li Jiancheng agreed.
The communication between the inside of the city and the outside of the city depends on wolf smoke during the day, and at night people are roped down the city, and there will be soldiers in charge of intelligence waiting in secret locations.
In addition to these two things that can deliver messages, there are also ways to use arrows.
