Chapter Forty-Six: You Feint and I Feint
Early the next morning, Tai Shi Chang led the 15,000 soldiers and horses handed over to him by Zhao Yi to Beihai City, shouting that the earth was shattered, but there was no siege in sight, and no siege equipment was pulled up, this move couldn't help but make Meng Liu mutter in his heart, what the hell is going on? Since his side visited the Malay newspaper, it was said that Zhao Yi led 60,000 Xuzhou elites to clean up himself, but now Meng Liu, who is in the city, is less than 20,000 people, and there is no siege of the city.
The most is to shoot arrows at each other, and after Zhang Taibai came to the city, he walked to Meng Liu and stopped.
Meng Liu looked at the nearly 20,000 Xuzhou soldiers and horses in front of him and asked, "What is this Zhao Yi thinking?" ”
Zhang Taibai thought for a while and replied: "I guess it's a person with a full stomach." ”
"What do you mean?"
"It's just a feint to attack us for show, but in fact, it's to attack other places and take advantage of the opportunity to grab benefits." Zhang Taibai explained with a smile, "Don't look at us, we occupy three counties, Qingzhou is a very good location, the Qingzhou soldiers back then were not as useless as they are now, it won't be long before we can let the world know how powerful the Qingzhou soldiers are." ”
Meng Liu nodded and said, "Then let's just stand still?" ”
"Of course not, since Zhao Yi will let only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses dare to come and feint against us, there must be a price for us not to destroy more than 10,000 people, wait, it is estimated that Zhao Yi's letter will be delivered in the evening." Zhang Taibai was full of confidence, and then left the city tower to go to the barracks.
Tai Shichang's men and horses only stayed downstairs in Beihai City for a few hours before leaving, leaving behind hundreds of arrows.
This made Meng Liu even more convinced that Zhao Yi was just a feint, Meng Liu also thought of a plan in his heart, that night Meng Liu was eating in the room, Zhang Taibai rushed over and said: "I said yes, Zhao Yi sent a letter, they want to attack Le'an, let's not go to attack him, and then when we attack the plain, they will not come to attack us." ”
"Then we agree?" Meng Liu asked tentatively.
"Agree with the fart! What a place is the plain, on the other side of the river! Where do we make boats to go? Besides, even if we capture it, once Antelope City is lost, we will be next. Zhang Taibai scolded with his head and face, "I replied to the past, and said that we don't need the plain, change it!" ”
"Which one?"
"This morning when Tai Shi Chang came to feint, I went down to the city tower and went directly to the military camp, I have ordered Zhuang Ran to lead 40,000 soldiers and horses to go out of the city to the direction of Chengyang while Tai Shi Chang retreated, since they feint, then we simply left a few thousand men and horses in the city to guard, and the rest of the people all pulled over to attack Chengyang, after capturing Chengyang, there is Zhao Yi in Le'an to contain Zhao Gui's remaining men and horses, we can sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman." Zhang Taibai suggested.
Meng Liu continued: "Not only that, but we can also hold the north according to the big river, surround the entire Qingzhou, and after taking Qingzhou, we can have a great increase in power and get the opportunity to fight for the world!" ”
Zhang Taibai smiled and said: "This is just a state land, there are more in the future, but we have to let the Northern Barbarians suffer a heavy setback, after taking Chengyang, let the eighteen Qu Shuai gather in Qi County and wait for the arrival of the Northern Barbarians." ”
Meng Liu said worriedly: "So, do you also think that Antelope City can't be defended?" ”
Zhang Taibai nodded and sighed: "Actually, I admire General Cui Zheng very much, if he charges on the plain, Cui Zheng can be surrounded by thousands of people, and taking the head of the enemy general among thousands of troops is like probing for something!" ”
"It's a pity that offensive and defensive battles are not what he is good at, and recently heard the news that Cui Zheng summoned hundreds of Long Wuwei in the palace to Antelope City, this move should be to let Long Wuwei stay there, if he lets a million Northern Barbarians break through Antelope City, with the current chaotic situation in Zhao Kingdom, they will be broken by the Northern Barbarians."
Meng Liu's admiration for Cui Zheng arose spontaneously.
Zhang Taibai continued: "It's just a pity that the group of Long Wuwei, Long Wuwei is the only team with all the names recorded in the character chronicle, and the rest, such as the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry and the Guanning Iron Cavalry, all have only one name. ”
Meng Liu shook his head and said: "It's far away, it's far away, back to business, Chengyang is heavily guarded, and Chengyang's guard general Bian He is extremely brave." ”
"If Brother Zhuang really doesn't have any ability, how can he be valued by the master and let him guard the Immortal Mountain."
Meng Liu thought of Zhuang Ran's arrow when they attacked Beihai together, a distance of 100 steps, and the arrow passed through the head, which is obviously not something ordinary people can do.
"Okay, then I'll go back like this, we want Chengyang, otherwise we don't have to talk." Meng Liu was about to reply to Zhao Yi, Zhang Taibai waited for Meng Liu to finish writing the letter and left with the letter.
Zhao Yi had already turned around and marched towards Le'an with more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, but he was blocked out under Le'an City.
Zhao Yi was puzzled, could it be that his plan had been discovered?
"Open the city gate, we will take the road to Qi County!" Zhao Yi shouted under the city tower, but Zhao Yi was greeted by a sharp arrow shot from the city.
"I'm waiting to be summoned by the Son of Heaven to exterminate the thieves, what are you waiting for!"
Another sharp arrow shot down, and a person appeared from the city, Zhao Yi squinted and saw clearly, the person greeted him with a smile after he entered the city.
"Zhao Yi, there is a bandit in Qingzhou, that is also my Qingzhou business, when will it be your turn to take care of Xuzhou, your hands are stretched too long, I am ordered by my lord since you have come, then stay here and fight with the bandits, but everyone knows that the leader of the bandits is in Beihai, and I still bother Lord Zhao to fight Beihai, as for the bandits in other places, I don't bother you to bother." Le'an Shou shouted at the top of his class.
"How dare you lie to me! Open the gates at once, or I'll kill you when I take the city!" Zhao Yi was in a hurry, originally thinking that he could take Le'an without spending a single soldier, but now he must have to fight hard.
"Zhao Yi, your wolf ambition is obvious, on the surface, it seems that you are under the orders of the Son of Heaven, but in fact, you are trying to plot against me Qingzhou!" Banqu is not far behind, who wouldn't be able to play tricks, "If you have the ability, you will attack the city, but if you can't die here, it's better to leave as soon as possible." ”
Zhao Yi drew his sword and was about to attack the city, but was stopped by Zhong Ai, Zhong Ai proposed: "Lord, if Le'an was defenseless before, it would be easy to take Le'an in a hurry, but now they are obviously on guard, our army is day and night, and now we are exhausted, we can't be fooled anymore, we must think long-term, let's retreat first!" ”
Zhao Yi shouted angrily: "I will definitely take your head!" ”
Then the order was given to retreat.
"Tomorrow I will order the siege of the city, and within three days I will take the head of Banqu!" As soon as he returned to the station, Zhao Yi threw his helmet to the ground and scolded angrily.
"Lord, tomorrow's siege is not good for us, the whole army should rest for three days, and then attack the city after three days, tomorrow's siege will come to our army in a hurry, and it will already be tired, and second, the enemy army has already prepared, so it is best to attack the city after three days." Zhong Ai explained.
Zhao Yi sat on the desk and thought for a while, and said: "Okay, just as you say, the whole army will rest for three days, and attack the city in three days!" ”
