War came more suddenly than people expected, because when something bad happens, people always fantasize about coming late, or even not coming.

Everyone also thinks that my luck should not be so bad, but they forget that if they can only rely on luck in their life and death, how bad is it?

The people in Jizhou City were not ready when they heard a trumpet outside the city wall that seemed to tear the sky.

The soldiers of the Jizhou army on the city wall resisted, arrows in front of them, above their heads, on their companions, and sometimes on themselves.

There were still people in the teahouse in the city, they were sitting there drinking tea, listening to the shouts of killing, no one spoke, just listened quietly.

Not surprisingly, a group of people began to appear in the city who thought that the end had come and that they could do all kinds of evil as a matter of course.

They rushed into the shops to rob, they rushed into the houses to rob, they just wanted to rob, as if they had robbed someone else's things to give themselves a long life.

Then they waited for the crackdown of the Jizhou army, and hundreds of people were tied up and knelt on the street, and their heads were chopped off one by one.

The next day, there was another group of people, as if the same people who died yesterday had taken away another group of people.

Then another group was hacked to death.

The people did not have food in their hands, and the arrival of the war made them on the verge of collapse every moment. It's not completely collapsed yet, simply because they still have that breath of air.

The rich men lined up with bags of silver and the poor with only a few copper coins left, waiting for the grain store to open.

They all thought that with all their money, they could buy a chance to live.

On the city wall, Zeng Ling had not slept for a day and a night, although the Jizhou army had sufficient troops, it was not overstretched at the beginning of the war.

But he knew that if he hadn't been with his soldiers in the first place, the battle might not last long.

Fortunately, the offensive at the beginning was only a test, and neither the Qingzhou Army nor the Yuzhou Army did their best.

Zeng Ling knew that they were waiting for Luo Geng, and no one would fight their own forces first, and then give Jizhou to others.

Underground Palace.

Li Qi stood in front of the sand table, as if he was stunned, he was reviewing in his mind the deduction that was comparable to Tang on that day.

After a long time, Li Qi slowly exhaled.

He is not worried about the Youzhou Army now, he is not worried about the Qingzhou Army, he is not worried about the Yuzhou Army, he is worried about the Yanshan Battalion.

This is not the best time, but some people will think that when it comes to the best time, if Yanshan Camp enters the game at this time, then Li Qi's layout may become empty.

"Fortunately, Brother Zhuang returned to Yanshan Camp."

Li Qi seemed to be talking to himself.

With Yu Chaozong's trust in Zhuang Wudi, and with Yu Chaozong's and Zhuang's trust in Li Qi, as long as Zhuang Wushu persuades him, maybe Yu Chaozong should not move his troops south.

Don't.

Because what we see now is not the whole picture.

Li Qi turned around when he heard the footsteps, and Gao Xining came over with a cloak and draped it over Li Qi's shoulders.

At this time, it was late autumn, and the weather outside was already very cold, and the temperature in the underground palace was much cooler than outside.

"You haven't raised your brow for the past two days."

Gao Xining stood behind Li Qi and raised his hand to pinch Li Qi's shoulder.

Li Qi laughed, and said in a relaxed tone as much as possible: "There should be no accidents on Brother Yu's side, Brother Zhuang knows my plan, and he will dissuade Brother Yu from entering the game at this time no matter what." ”

Gao Xining snorted, she asked Zhuang Wushu to go back, not because she was worried that Yu Chaozong would not do things according to Li Qi's ideas.

Because a superior, a decision-maker, will always have self-confidence that others do not have.

What others say to him, to him is only at most

suggestions.

"Brother Yu can also see the situation clearly."

Li Qi said again.

The meaning of the two consecutive sentences is actually similar, precisely because Li Qi does not have much confidence.

Gao Xining said in a very light tone: "Are you regretting?" ”

Li Qi's smile suddenly stiffened a little, and only Gao Xining could see through his heart at a glance.

He was indeed regretting it, he felt that he should go back to Yanshan Camp now, and only if he went back in person, maybe he could guarantee that Yu Chaozong would not enter the game too early.

Because at this moment, beside Yu Chaozong, there is an inexplicable eight masters who are making suggestions.

That person's idea is too radical, regardless of why he wants to kill Li Qi, judging from his method of taking Daizhou and Shinshu, you can roughly infer this person's character.

"I do regret it."

Li Qi said: "What I'm worried about now is that someone will persuade Brother Yu to say that while Luo Geng from Youzhou comes to Jizhou, he can go and seize Youzhou...... That was the second stupid move, and the stupidest was to immediately move troops to Jizhou. ”

He turned to look at Gao Xining and said, "The black warriors have not defeated Youzhou for so many years, how can the Yanshan camp be defeated." ”

Gao Xining said: "Don't worry about these things anymore, rest for a while." ”

Li Qi sighed and smiled: "I'm a little hungry, let's go see what Aunt Wu is preparing, it's time for lunch." ”

Gao Xining sighed slightly, "We just had lunch. ”

Li Qi was stunned.

Gao Xining persuaded: "You keep thinking about it like this, it will only make you more and more uncomfortable, if you get into the tip of the horns and can't get out, not only Brother Yu is powerless, but you don't have the energy to care about it anymore, there are hundreds of people waiting for you here." ”

Li Qi woke up and found that he had already gotten in.

"I'm ...... Fear of failure. ”

Li Qi looked at Gao Xining.

Gao Xining said: "You are worrying about things that you can't control, what you can control, you have done your best, if you are sad because others are not good enough, this is very unwise." ”

Li Qi subconsciously asked, "Then what should I do?" I'm really not sure about Brother Yu's side......"

"On your own."

Gao Xining suddenly said these three words, interrupting Li Qi's words.

Li Qi was stunned again, and subconsciously repeated Gao Xining's words.

"On your own?"

Gao Xining said: "You can't actually make other people's decisions, unless everyone else listens to your decisions." ”

Li Qi's heart was shocked.

At the same time, the Yanshan battalion.

Zheng Gongru, the eighth master, looked at Yu Chaozong, he knew that Yu Chaozong had already been moved, because Yu Chaozong did not directly reject his plan this time.

He was originally going to go to Saibei to find the northern madman's team, but Yu Chaozong did not agree, because at this moment, it was also a critical time for the Yanshan camp to go.

Yu Chaozong is still more willing to listen to the advice given to him by learned people, there are some things in his bones, Yu Chaozong deliberately hides, but he has always been there.

So Zheng Gongru had to hand over the search for the Northern Maniac team to the woman he had just knew, even if he didn't trust that woman at all.

"Big boss."

Zheng Gongru saw that Yu Chaozong had loosened up, so he further persuaded him: "The scout sent the news that the Youzhou army has already marched to Jizhou, calculate the time when the scouts come back, and the Youzhou army should be outside Jizhou City at this time." ”

"...... where the Qingzhou Army is located"

He got up and walked to the front of the map and tapped his finger at one of the locations.

"Here, the position of the Yuzhou army is here, and these two armies are closer to Jizhou than the Youzhou army, so at this time, the Sanzhou soldiers

Horses, have been encircled in Jizhou. ”

Yu Chaozong muttered to himself: "So the third child can't come back in time, and there is no way to send the letter out again." ”

Zheng Gongru scolded in his heart, but there was no show on his face.

He pretended not to hear this, and continued: "Luo Jing is still in Youzhou City, this is the most unfavorable thing for Zeng Ling, Luo Jing is in the city, and it is not difficult for the soldiers and horses of Sanzhou to break the city. ”

He returned to Yu Chaozong, first bowed down, then straightened up and said, "I have three strategies, upper, middle and lower, which can be chosen by the big boss." ”

Yu Chaozong said: "You say it." ”

Zheng Gongru said: "Make a decision, the big boss will not move, just wait for the four forces to fight to the end, and see if there is a chance to pick up some cheap, so that it is the safest, so as not to be involved in the war, although seven or eight times out of ten will not have any gains, but there will be no losses, the only way to fear losses is that we do not go to war." ”

"Zhongce, the big boss will now do his best to attack Youzhou with the army of the Yanshan battalion, Luo Geng's army is already in Jizhou, the big boss took advantage of the weakness to enter, after taking Youzhou, it can be regarded as a big city to live in, but the disadvantage is that Luo Geng will return to the division when he hears the news, and if our Yanshan battalion fails to successfully take Youzhou, but instead relieves the siege of Jizhou for Zeng Ling, and the battle with Luo Geng, the outcome is not easy to say."

After he said this, he glanced at Yu Chaozong and observed Yu Chaozong's face.

"The best policy, the big boss should be decided, at this time lead the army into the game, with the current strength of the Yanshan battalion, it is enough to disrupt the situation, even if you don't seize Jizhou, when the four forces are fighting, the big boss chooses any side to attack, and you can win a big victory."

"The big boss will attack the Youzhou army, and the two armies of Qingzhou and Yuzhou will not support Luo Geng, in the same way, whoever the big boss attacks, the other two sides will not care, because they are also eager to get rid of each other."

Zheng Gongru said: "Put the decisive battle in Jizhou, defeat all the strong enemies in Jizhou in one go, and the big boss can enter the entire territory of Jizhou." ”

Yu Chaozong's face kept changing, he got up and walked back and forth in the room, pondering Zheng Gongru's words in his mind while thinking about Li Qi's letters.

Li Qi had already told him all the possible crises, but Yu Chaozong was now trying to convince himself that the biggest crisis would not arise.

Because the time is too late and the distance is far away, how can there be such a crisis.

"Troops!"

Yu Chaozong suddenly made up his mind.

He looked at the other masters in the hall, paused for a moment and then planned to order: "Lao Qi stays behind to guard the cottage, the cottage is our foundation, no matter whether this army can win a big victory, the cottage cannot be lost." ”

The seventh master got up and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I will defend the cottage." ”

Yu Chaozong nodded and said: "Other brothers, go back immediately, order the soldiers and horses of each village to assemble, bring all the grain and grass materials, and prepare in the fastest time, even if we set off immediately, it will take twenty days to rush to Jizhou...... Twenty days, the situation is changing rapidly, I just hope it's still too late. ”

Everyone responded, and everyone looked a little excited.

In fact, like Yu Chaozong, they have long wanted to fight Jizhou City, because Jizhou City is a symbol.

It's like whoever takes Jizhou City is the real master of Jizhou for thousands of miles.

"Brothers."

Yu Chaozong said loudly: "This battle is related to the future of the hundreds of thousands of brothers in the Yanshan Battalion, and it is also related to the future of the brothers. ”

"The royal power and wealth are all under the feet of my brothers in the Yanshan camp, do you remember what I told you? Those who are powerful, how they deceive me in the day, how they repay me today. ”

Yu Chaozong strode out of the hall.

"Let's send troops!"

"Long live the big boss!"

I don't know who shouted, followed by countless people who shouted, hearing this, Yu Chaozong's heart was first tight, and then happy.
