Chapter 457: One and Thousands
The Green Eyebrow Army Battalion.
After Yu Chaozong returned to the big tent, he breathed a long sigh of relief, he took off the cloak on his body and handed it to his soldiers, looked at Zheng Gongru, who had been waiting here, and asked, "You have been waiting for me all along?" ”
Zheng Gongru leaned over and said: "The big boss explained before, and said that he had something to discuss with me after he came back, so I didn't dare to leave." ”
Yu Chaozong smiled and said: "Actually, if you go back to rest, if I want to find you after I come back, I will send someone there." ”
Zheng Gongru stretched out his hand to take the cloak and motioned for his soldiers to go out, Yu Chaozong's soldiers glanced at him, and their faces were a little uncomfortable.
Zheng Gongru hung up the cloak and said, "Big boss, how is this discussion?" I guess Luo Geng is going to play some tricks again. ”
It's a nonsense that seems to be smart but doesn't work any.
Yu Chaozong said: "Luo Geng, that old fox, secretly contacted me to get rid of Cui Yanlai before, and I guess he is already thinking about getting rid of me after I go back." ”
Zheng Gongru said with a smile: "If he really wants to do it to our Yanshan camp right away, then Luo Geng is just an idiot, in my opinion, he probably has to wait for the city to break before he does it, and wants to be the fisherman, waiting for the fisherman's profit." ”
Yu Chaozong snorted, walked to the chair and sat down, took out a wooden box to take medicine, and suddenly remembered that Zheng Gongru was still here, so he pretended to find something else and put the wooden box down.
"Luo Geng wants me to attack the West City and the North City."
Yu Chaozong said: "Although we have sufficient troops, but now the Jizhou army has blocked all the six city gates, and they can't get out, so we don't need to attack in two directions at the same time, the consumption of troops is too great." ”
Zheng Gongru said: "Luo Geng and Liu Li must have been discussed, Luo Geng withdrew, handed over to our Yanshan battalion and Yuzhou army to fight, each fighting in two directions, attacking at the same time, the consumption of troops is unimaginable, and Luo Geng withdrew, just to preserve his strength." ”
He glanced at Yu Chaozong and continued: "Luo Geng and Liu Li, just to use the siege to consume our troops, Liu Li feints, make an appearance, let us attack, Jizhou is so strong, even if we fight down, we will lose countless soldiers." ”
Yu Chaozong glanced at Zheng Gongru appreciatively, what Zheng Gongru said was exactly what Yu Chaozong was thinking.
He could also see that Luo Geng and Liu Li just wanted to use the siege to consume the strength of the Yanshan battalion and the Jizhou army.
It is best for the Yanshan battalion and the Jizhou army to lose both, and then Luo Geng and Liu Li can easily clean up the mess.
"People as conceited as Luo Geng and Liu Li, how could they be honest with me, and how could they look up to me."
Yu Chaozong sighed: "Even though I have an army of tens of thousands, in the eyes of Luo Geng and Liu Li, I have always been a thief......"
When he said this, there was a very complicated thing in Yu Chaozong's eyes.
Zheng Gongru happened to see it, and he speculated that one of those complicated things must be inferiority.
Mo said that people like Luo Geng and Liu Li looked down on the rebels, but in fact, in Yu Chaozong's own heart, he always looked down on the rebels.
Although Yu Chaozong cannot be regarded as a famous family, his father is the ruler of a state, and the teachings he has received since he was a child are different from ordinary people.
His father interacted, and it was expected that he was also talking and laughing, and there was no vain correspondence.
So Zheng Gongru sneered a few times in his heart.
"Luo Geng and Liu Li want me to be fooled, how can I easily fall for their scheme."
Yu Chaozong said: "I ordered to send three or five thousand men and horses to Xicheng and stationed them in the camp of Luo Geng in Xicheng, so that these three or five thousand people should drag up smoke and dust when they march, and play the banner of 20,000 people." ”
Zheng Gongru immediately praised: "The big master's clever plan." ”
Yu Chaozong said: "We only attack the northern city, if there is an accident, the army can also retreat to the north."
...... My second brother is very brave, let him ......"
When he said this, he froze, and then sighed.
He actually forgot that Zhuang Wushu had already left the camp.
"Alas......"
Zheng Gongru sighed and said: "It's all my fault, I offended the second master, he was angry with me before he said goodbye, if I hadn't collided with the second master that day, he wouldn't have left when the big boss was about to hire people." ”
Zheng Gongru said apologetically: "Now the big boss needs brave generals to attack the city, and the second boss is the most suitable, but because I left him, it is better to go to him now to come back, even if it is to kneel and beg, I must kneel until he comes back." ”
Yu Chaozong's face sank, he glanced at Zheng Gongru and said: "What does the second brother have to do with you when he leaves temporarily, he is not the narrow-minded person, if he leaves, maybe he will go back to the cottage." ”
After taking a sip of tea, he said: "Chang Dingsui's courage is not inferior to that of the second brother, and I have already sent someone to summon Chang Dingzhou over, and the two brothers are enough to lead the troops." ”
He looked at Zheng Gongru and said: "From tomorrow, you will supervise the construction of siege equipment, the siege is not urgent, you need to build a large number of equipment, I will grab some of the building cars in the Qingzhou army, but it is far from enough." ”
"The bow and crossbow on the city wall of Jizhou are sharp, and the shield array is needed to attack the city, in addition to building siege building vehicles, it is also necessary to build a large number of shields, suppress the archers on the city wall with building cars, and approach the city with a shield array."
Yu Chaozong said: "On the building car of the Qingzhou Army, dozens of soldiers can stand, I have looked at it carefully, and if it is transformed, the soldiers can board it from the back of the building car and jump on the city wall from the top of the building car." ”
Zheng Gongru said: "In addition, you can also mobilize all the soldiers, when attacking the city, each person brings a bag of soil, and then piles up the soil under the city of Jizhou, covering it with a shield array, even if it is a ramp piled up, it should be enough for more than ten days." ”
Yu Chaozong frowned slightly and said, "With such an attack, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties." ”
Zheng Gongru said: "Even if there are casualties, it doesn't matter, we now have tens of thousands of Qingzhou troops to transport soil." ”
Yu Chaozong was silent for a moment and shook his head and said, "Those are all elite soldiers who are good at fighting......"
Zheng Gongru's heart moved.
He immediately said tentatively: "In our own words, it will be smoother, so as not to cause a mutiny, those elite Qingzhou troops who are good at fighting, it is better to leave it for the siege of the city, let them attack the city defense." ”
Yu Chaozong did not speak, neither agreed nor denied.
From the second day, tens of thousands of Green Brow soldiers were mobilized, they scattered to cut down trees, and went to the surrounding villages to demolish houses, most of which were deserted, and the doors and wooden planks were removed and transported back.
The more they are not in a hurry to fight, the greater the pressure on the defenders in Jizhou City, they stand on the city wall every day and watch the enemy outside the city busy, watching more and more buildings to attack them, how they feel, they can naturally guess one or two.
And these days, the city is not very peaceful.
Zeng Ling ordered to search for Luo Jing's whereabouts in the city, but this was only a matter in name, he just wanted to know where Luo Jing was hiding, or where Li Qi was hiding.
The more patient the siege preparations outside the city, the more impatient and frightened Zeng Ling became, because he knew very well now that what he saw in his eyes was not all the enemies.
Even if he fought to the death of at least 300,000 troops outside the city, he would not be able to hold Jizhou, because the time to come will come sooner or later.
General Liuge was ordered to patrol the city, but his heart became more and more uncomfortable, because he guessed the thoughts of the Lord of the Jiedu, so he was uncomfortable.
Tens of thousands of defenders in the city are preparing to fight hard for the Jiedu Envoy, but the Jiedu Envoy is thinking about how to hide.
Before this, Liu Ge had never doubted the sincerity of the Lord Jiedu towards his subordinates, and he had always felt that he was not following the wrong person.
However, these days, only
If he wanted to go back, Zeng Ling couldn't wait to ask if he had found out, and every time he asked, Liu Ge's heart would be sad again.
He thought, besides life and death, what else is there to be afraid of?
The soldiers are willing to work hard, not necessarily if they can't hold it, even if they can't hold it, the brothers will die together.
Life and death are the same as death.
Liu Ge looked up at the sky, it was a little gloomy, he didn't know if it would rain, he didn't care, his heart was even more gloomy than this sky.
"Go ahead and search."
Liu Ge waved his hand and motioned for his team to continue walking.
He glanced back at the entrance of the abandoned Confucius Temple where he was sitting, and after a moment of silence he got up and walked into the Confucius Temple.
The clay statue of Master Zhou should have been repaired, it looks mottled, but it is complete, he thinks that he doesn't know who it is, and he can still be in the mood to take care of Master Zhou's old man.
He had come in a long time ago to see that the clay statue of Master had collapsed quite a bit.
"General."
Just when Liu Ge was stunned, someone suddenly spoke, which startled Liu Ge, and he immediately grabbed the hilt of the knife.
"Who is it?"
Liu Ge asked.
"Don matches."
Hearing this name, Liu Ge's face changed suddenly, but the hand holding the handle of the knife subconsciously loosened.
Tang Pidi walked out slowly from behind and hugged Liu Ge with a fist.
Liu Ge looked at Tang Pidi and asked, "You dare to appear in front of me, aren't you afraid that I will take you back?!" ”
Tang Pidi said in a flat tone: "First, you won't fight me, and second, you can't beat me, and you can't fight either." ”
Tang Pidi looked outside, and Liu Ge's sergeants had already left.
He sat down on the steps and said, "I just want to ask the general one word." ”
Liu Ge probably guessed what he was going to ask at this time, so he shook his head: "If I leave at this time, I'm sorry for morality, I'm sorry for identity, I'm sorry for conscience." ”
Tang Pidi nodded: "I probably know the general's thoughts, but I don't give up, it's not that I don't give up, but Li Qi." ”
He looked at Liu Ge and said: "Li Qi said let me persuade you, I told him that General Liu is the general who leads the most troops, and a qualified general has always preferred to die in battle than to retreat, even if the person he is fighting for is not worth his hard work at all." ”
"I said that you will die of foolishness, this is your choice, I understand the thoughts of soldiers best, so I know that for General Liu, dying in battle is the end and relief, and it is a fulfillment, but Li Qi thinks it is better to persuade him."
Liu Ge stood there, looking a little cramped, he didn't know where to put his hand after leaving the hilt, and the more he listened to Tang Pi's words, the more he didn't know where to put his hand, and even trembled slightly.
Tang Pi said: "I asked Li Qi, why do you want to persuade, Li Qi said...... General Yoo is a friend. ”
He got up and patted the dirt off his buttocks.
"I'm done with what I should say, if it were my own thoughts, I wouldn't say these words, because if it were me, I would probably choose the same as the general, and the big deal would be to die in battle."
After saying this, Tang Pidi turned around and walked back, raised his hand and shook it.
"There will be no time in the future."
After saying these four words, others are about to leave the Confucius Temple.
Liu Ge looked at Tang Pi's back, and after being silent for a long time, he muttered two words to himself, his eyes reddened slightly.
"Thank you."
At this moment, Tang Pidi suddenly turned around and asked, "What if we can save you and your subordinates?" There are thousands of generals' subordinates. ”
Liu Ge's eyes widened suddenly.
