Chapter 492 - Counting is Counting
Wu Tai was writing to Zhang Shumo at home about Cai Dao's rejection of him today, and a voice came from outside the door: "Master, there is an adult named Liang Li who asks to see him at the door." ”
When Wu Tai heard this, he couldn't help but think: This Liang Li is too often in charge and belongs to Cai Dao's family, could it be that Cai Dao asked him to come to him?
Thinking of this, Wu Tai immediately said, "Quick, please let him in!" At the end, Wu Tai also put away the half-written letter.
Soon Liang Li came to Wu Tai's room, and as soon as he saw Liang Li, he closed the door by himself, and then took the initiative to ask: "General Wu, have you gone to Lord Cai Dao to discuss matters today?" ”
Wu Tai raised his eyebrows, he saw Liang Li ask this, thinking that Cai Dao had sent him, so he readily admitted: "That's right, I did go to Taishi Cai today to discuss matters, but I was rejected by Taishi." ”
Liang Li looked at the unclosed window, Wu Tai naturally understood what he meant, so he said directly: "If Lord Liang has anything to say, you can be straightforward, it is very safe here." ”
Hearing Wu Tai's words, Liang Li didn't hide it, so he said directly: "Actually, after Master Wu left, Cai Dao told us the meaning of Darao again, so I came this time to talk to the adults." ”
Wu Tai smiled slightly: "Could it be that Taishi Cai agreed again?" ”
Liang Li shook his head: "Cai Wei is old and very rigid. But I'm different, I'm willing to cooperate with Master Wu this time! ”
Wu Tai was stunned for a moment, and then narrowed his eyes: Liang Li came by himself, and it was not Cai Dao's intention at all. But how could he be so enthusiastic?
Thinking of this, Wu Tai couldn't help but ask, "Does Lord Liang know what we are going to do?" ”
Liang Li smiled slightly: "Naturally, how did I help Zhang Shumo Gongzi." I wonder what Zhang Gongzi's plans are now? Wu Wei has sent 50,000 soldiers back to the city, and if there is no one under Zhang Gongzi, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through Qinyang City! ”
Wu Tai saw that Liang Li did know about this, but he still had suspicions, so he asked, "Why did Lord Liang suddenly want to help Zhang Shumo?" Isn't Lord Liang afraid of being killed? ”
"Who in this Qinyang City doesn't know how Zhang Yu got to the top? Killing one's father and rebelling is disloyalty and unfilial piety, so how can we be in the same league with him? Liang Li said indignantly.
When Wu Tai saw Liang Li's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, he also believed him in his heart. After all, he didn't report it to Zhang Yu after learning about it, but came to remind himself of the 50,000 soldiers in Wu Yu's hands.
So Wu Tai grabbed Liang Li's arm and said, "Lord Liang is really a righteous man!" However, Zhang Yu is powerful, and I'm afraid we can't help anything, at most we can just pass on some information. ”
Liang Li rolled his eyes after listening, and then said: "This time, Zhang Yu set Zhang Lu's funeral seven days later, the purpose is to let Zhang Shumo Gongzi come in a hurry, so as to take Zhang Shumo down in one fell swoop, I don't know what countermeasures Zhang Gongzi has?" ”
Wu Tai hadn't thought about it so much, but he heard Liang Liyi slap his head violently: "Why didn't I think of it, I have to write a letter to Zhang Gongzi quickly and inform him that he can't come." ”
When Liang Li heard this, he quickly stopped Wu Tai: "No!" If Zhang Gongzi doesn't come, it will be a big unfilial piety. In this way, Zhang Yu will definitely take the opportunity to frame Gongzi, so Zhang Gongzi still has to come, but he has to be fully prepared! ”
Wu Tai immediately asked, "According to Lord Liang's opinion, what kind of preparations should Zhang Gongzi make?" ”
Liang Li frowned, and then said, "Rushing to Qinyang from Jiyuan, unless it is cavalry, the infantry will not be able to arrive within seven days." I don't know if Zhang Gongzi has more than 50,000 cavalry under him? ”
Wu Tai shook his head in disappointment: "How is this possible?" There were only 100,000 cavalry in the heyday of our country, and it was still distributed in various armies, how many families did Zheng Zhanggongzi have, how could there be so many cavalry? ”
"If you don't have a sufficient number of cavalry, I'm afraid you'll be at a disadvantage in numbers. However, Zhang Gongzi is resourceful and can make the situation clear to Gongzi and let him think of countermeasures before he comes. ”
Wu Tai nodded, then came to the table, just about to start writing, and then asked: "The speed of flying pigeons is slow, let's reveal the information to Zhang Gongzi this time, it should be the last time before he arrives in Qinyang City, I don't know if Lord Liang still has instructions?" ”
Liang Li thought for a while and then shook his head: "I can't remember it for the time being, but if Zhang Gongzi has a reply, Master Wu can find me as soon as possible, and let's discuss the countermeasures." ”
So, Wu Tai immediately began to write a letter, telling Zhang Shumo all the situation on this side of Qinyang City, and then took advantage of the night to release the carrier pigeon.
That night, Zhang Shumo took 10,000 Wuxiu iron cavalry and 10,000 Yanguo cavalry from Jiyuan City and went straight to Qinyang City.
Halfway through the journey, Zhang Shumo received a flying pigeon from Wu Tai, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.
Liu naturally saw Zhang Shumo's sad appearance, so he said, "What's wrong?" Did something happen in Qinyang City? Why don't we wait and wait for reinforcements to arrive? ”
Zhang Shumo didn't think about it, and directly shook his head in denial: "It's too late, if there is any way to delay the time, let Zhang Yu postpone his father's funeral." ”
Pang Yuan hurriedly asked, "Didn't Childe drag Wutai to find Cai Dao?" How about him? ”
"Cai Dao refused!"
"It seems that in Cai Dao's eyes, Cai Zhi and Xue Liang are not as important as their family!" Pang Yan couldn't help but sigh.
Zhang Shumo said lightly: "But Wutai Cai Dao's subordinates have a boss named Liang Li, and he is willing to help us." ”
"Story? Isn't he in charge of the funeral? How about letting him figure out a way? ”
Zhang Shumo shook his head: "His position is too low, Zhang Yu will definitely not listen to his opinion." Wanzhang Shumo seemed to think of something, and couldn't help frowning.
"Then let's go in directly, we have 20,000 cavalry, if Zhang Yan can arrive in time, it will be 25,000 cavalry, and there should still be hope for dealing with their 20,000 foot soldiers." Jang Gyu-do.
Zhang Shumo let out a long sigh: "Wu Wei secretly transferred back 50,000 soldiers from the south, so we have to face 70,000 soldiers!" ”
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, no wonder Zhang Shumo frowned, 70,000 people, if they defend Qinyang City, I'm afraid that even if there are 100,000 troops, there is no certainty of victory.
Zhang Shumo saw that everyone fell silent, so he said to everyone: "If you tell Zhang Yu that we won't go, and we want to gather a large army to fight directly, will Zhang Yu give up his father's funeral?" ”
After hearing this, everyone looked at Zhang Shumo in surprise, and they didn't know what he meant, but Zhang Shumo said to himself: "Since Liang Li is willing to help, we naturally have to make good use of it, so it's better to make a plan." ”
