Chapter 192: Bad News (2)
"Good idea, ha, ha, ha......" Guo Qi laughed and said, "Ling Jing will leave this matter to you." ”
"No! Commanded. Ling Jing ordered: "But my lord, this matter still needs the cooperation of you and your wife. ”
"Don't worry, this king and his wife will do their best to cooperate with you."
"Thank you, Lord and Madame."
"Ling Jing, the problem of food has been solved, what can the weapons and armor needed by this king be gathered?" Guo Qi asked Ling Jing.
"My lord, the minister has ordered the Baili City and Yongcheng workshops to rush to work day and night, and it will be the end of June at the earliest to be able to gather enough weapons and armor for the 70,000 army." Ling Jing reported to Guo Qiyu.
"Didn't my father take out a thousand craftsmen from Luodu? Why does it take so long for a month and a half? ”
"Lord, these thousand craftsmen have everything, and there are only two hundred real blacksmiths, although they can speed up the progress, but they can't be too fast." Ling Jing explained.
"Then you should think of a way as soon as possible, this king doesn't want these 70,000 new troops to go to war with wooden sticks at that time."
"Lord Wang, the concubine has an idea, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not." Leng Yue, who was sitting next to Guo Qi, suddenly spoke.
"What should be said, what should not be said."
"The concubine remembered that during the Battle of Huangyang Pass, due to the lack of arrows, Lord Ling Jing once divided the arrows into several parts according to a unified standard, and mobilized the people of Yongcheng to participate in making arrows; If this is true for arrows, so can other weapons such as swords. Leng Yue suggested.
"Yue'er, this sword is different from the arrow, how can the people participate in the manufacture." Guo Qi smiled bitterly.
"My lord, the minister thinks Madame's suggestion is good." Ling Jing pondered for a while and said, "Although we can't let the people participate in manufacturing;
But it is possible to let those apprentices do it, and the lowly duties can divide it into stages, and divide all the apprentices into several waves, and each group of people is only responsible for making one of them; This can greatly increase the proficiency of craftsmen and speed up the production of weapons. ”
"Huh!" Guo Qi felt a little slapped in the face and said: "Since you think it is feasible, then handle it as soon as possible!" This king only needs the result not the process. ”
"The Lord is wise; If the way Madame said would work, Nachen was confident that it would be done within a month. Ling Jing said.
After finishing the business, Guo Qi shouted outside the tent: "Yongzi, go and bring the food, I've been starving to death for so long." ”
After finishing the meal, Ling Jing left the Guanshan camp and returned to Yongcheng, after all, Yongcheng still had a lot of things waiting for Ling Jing to deal with!
In the next few days, accompanied by the cold moon, Guo Qi's small life was very comfortable; And during this time, Guo Qi also continued to receive battle reports from the north.
So far, the Qi-Zhao coalition army composed of the imperial court and the king of Zhao has basically stabilized the battle situation in the north, and the Qi-Zhao coalition army has relied on the Yanshan Mountains and the northern remnants of the Taihang Mountains to stabilize the battle line at Yanmen Pass, Feihu Pass, and Juyong Pass.
Although there are 450,000 of the Beidi army, all of them are cavalry, and they are not good at attacking cities at all, and they are not very good at making complex siege equipment, so they are completely numb when facing the large number of cottage passes built by the Qi Zhao coalition army on the way they must pass.
The Beidi army tried to use various methods to lure the Qi and Zhao coalition forces out, but the Qi and Zhao coalition forces were not fooled at all, that is, the great heaven and the old man just didn't come out; The angry Beidi Da Shan scolded Ashina directly.
On this day, Guo Qi and Leng Yue took Dabai and Xiaobai (Note 1) to enjoy the mountains and rivers leisurely! Feng Yong, who was not long-eyed, rode a horse and galloped all the way, shouting loudly: "Lord and lady; The lord and lady ......"
"What's the matter, let the wolf get rid of it." Guo Qi said very unhappily.
"Da Bai, Xiao Bai, this is not by your side! Didn't pick me up this time. Feng Yong dismounted and said.
"I see that your kid is underwhelmed this time, so let go of any fart." Guo Qi reprimanded Feng Yongdao.
"I'm not here to find your lord, I'm here to find my wife."
"Looking for me?" Leng Yue asked with a questioning face: "What are you looking for me?" ”
"That's right, just now the brother of the first camp gate sent someone to say that there was a merchant outside the camp who wanted to see his wife, and he also sent in a sign." Feng Yong said and sent the brand to Leng Yue's hand.
Leng Yue took the sign and said very solemnly: "Feng Yong, now you go back immediately and take this person to the prince's big tent of the Chinese army, and no one is allowed to approach the hundred steps outside the big tent." ”
Hearing Leng Yue's order, Feng Yong did not answer, but set his eyes on Guo Qi.
"Don't go yet." Guo Qi said.
"No! Commanded by humility. Feng Yong immediately took the order and left.
After Feng Yong left, Guo Qi asked Leng Yue, "What's wrong?" Engage in such a big battle? ”
"Lord Wang, this token is held by the secret agent of the Shadow Division who is in charge of the grassland, and it is the highest level token, there are only three pieces." Leng Yue explained to Guo Qi.
Hearing Leng Yue say this, Guo Qi knew why Leng Yue was so nervous just now, it seems that something happened to the grassland, and something was wrong.
Guo Qi first picked Leng Yue on the horse's back, then turned over and got on the horse and galloped towards the camp with Leng Yue in his arms, while Da Bai and Xiao Bai followed behind and galloped all the way; This time, Guo Qi rode directly into the camp, and only stopped when he came to a hundred steps away from the Chinese army's big tent, and threw the reins to the sergeant who was on duty.
As soon as Guo Qi walked into the camp, he saw a slightly chubby middle-aged man waiting anxiously, and after seeing the cold moon, the middle-aged man hurriedly saluted and said, "Humble goshawk, see the director." ”
Goshawk is just this person's code name, as for this person's real name and identity, only Leng Yue knows, even Guo Qi on the side doesn't know, after all, the Shadow Division was established by Leng Yue.
"What's wrong with the goshawk? He even asked you to come and deliver information in person, regardless of the danger of revealing your identity. Leng Yue asked the goshawk.
"Something happened to the director, two months ago she bribed a female official in the Beidi tent, and five days ago she sent the news, saying that Xirong and Beidi had reached an alliance to completely carve up the territory north of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains of Great Qi;
Beidi occupied the territory east of Hangu Pass, and Xirong occupied the entire Guanzhong, and the two sides agreed that the Beidi army would send 600,000 troops and the Xirong army would send 300,000 troops, and launch a fierce attack from the west and north at the same time......"
After listening to the information, Guo Qi frowned and didn't speak, Leng Yue asked the goshawk, "Is the goshawk's news true?" Where did Beidi and Xijon get so many people? ”
"It is absolutely true that he took his life as a guarantee for his life." Goshawk assured.
"Goshawk is it! It's hard work, go down and rest! Guo Qi suddenly spoke.
The goshawk set his eyes on Leng Yue, and saw Leng Yue wave his hand to himself, and the goshawk left the big tent of the Chinese army.
"The prince doesn't have to worry, this information has not been confirmed, maybe it is fake!" Leng Yue comforted Guo Qi and said.
"Eighty percent of this information is true, maybe in two days this news will spread all over the world." Guo Qi sighed with a sad face: "The two families of Xirong and Beidi have joined forces, and this time Daqi is afraid that it will be difficult to escape." ”
