Chapter 220: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada (4)

Qiu Xiaozhi says:

"The thieves are strong, our army is weak, and now one more force will have one more chance of victory.

Since this is the case, please ask Qi Hou to transfer the eastern army stationed in Hailing as well, so that he can have a greater chance of victory. “

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi glanced at Qiu Xiaozhi, Qiu Xiaozhi's face was calm like a puddle of water, but Lan Ziyi still saw a looming murderous aura like a gossamer from the depths of that puddle of clear water.

Everyone here knew Qiu Xiaozhi's plan to persuade Qi Rongxun to transfer troops, but they didn't necessarily know Qiu Xiaozhi's true intentions.

Lan Ziyi knows what Qiu Xiaozhi wants to do, if he is still in the capital, he can have such a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, Lan Ziyi will definitely not let it go, and he will find an opportunity to add to the fire.

But now looking at Qi Rongxun, who came with sincerity, Lan Ziyi felt that he couldn't get rid of this black hand.

Qi Rongxun didn't refute Qiu Xiaozhi's words when he heard it, but touched his chin and frowned and thought about it.

After a while, Qi Rongxun spoke:

"Qiu Xiaozhi, what you said is good, but the imperial court only transferred 20,000 people, and it didn't mean to let the whole army of Hailing be dispatched, so how can I transfer troops at will?"

Qiu Xiaozhi heard Qi Rongxun's answer, and a subtle sneer hung on the corner of his mouth,

Dazheng transferred troops, even if it was a soldier and a pawn, he had to ask the military department to draw up an order, and the emperor approved it, what Qi Rongxun said inadvertently just now actually implied that he could mobilize the Hailing Eastern Army, if he caught it, it would already be a big rebellion.

However, Qiu Xiaozhi is not interested in making a fuss about this matter now, what he wants is to let Qi Rongxun transfer troops.

At this time, Qiu Xiaozhi set his eyes on Lan Ziyi, hoping that Lan Ziyi would persuade Qi Rongxun,

Lan Ziyi twisted his head to the side before Qiu Xiaozhi looked at him, avoiding Qiu Xiaozhi's eager eyes,

Qiu Xiao saw that Lan Ziyi was reluctant to start, so he spoke again:

"Don't give up the big gifts, now people are swords, I am fish and meat, but Qi Hou, you still care about these things, does Qi Hou think that the court order is more important than exterminating the thieves?

The general will not be affected by the life of the monarch outside, and now the crisis in the capital is not the time for Qi Hou to hesitate. ”

Qi Rongxun listened to what Qiu Xiaozhi said, and was almost about to let go, but after thinking about it, he held back, and he said:

"Without the will of the imperial court, no one is allowed to mobilize the army, and the Dongzhen soldiers are not private soldiers, and it is impossible for me to transfer them as soon as I say it."

When Qi Rongxun said this, it seemed that he was reacting that transferring troops in his name would leave a handle on people, but Qiu Xiaozhi could hear that he was just making excuses for himself, if he really understood that this was a pit, he would bite this to death if he said it in the first sentence, so Qiu Xiaozhi would have no room for negotiation.

So Qiu Xiaozhi said:

"Qi Hou, the military situation is urgent, don't shirk anymore,

No one in the world of Dazheng knows that the Qi family army in Dongzhen has leveled the pirates, and returned me to a peaceful world in the sea frontier.

Even if there is no order from the imperial court, Qi Hou, you can invite a large army by virtue of your prestige in the army. Isn't it just for the peace of the world that the imperial court raises so many soldiers? Qi Hou followed the old general Qi to fight around the coast, and when he exterminated the pirates, did he have to wait for the order of the imperial court every time?

Qi Hou, extraordinary things should need extraordinary people, who else can you be. “

Hearing Qiu Xiaozhi's moving and reasonable speech, Qi Rongxun was speechless, but Qi Rongxun did not let go, and everyone was silent.

Tao Zhutu looked at Qi Rongxun, then at Lan Ziyi, and then at Qiu Wenruo after seeing that Lan Ziyi had no instructions.

Qiu Wenruo saw Tao Zhutu looking over, but he just looked back, and didn't give any advice.

However, Qiu Xiaozhi saw that Tao Zhutu was about to make a move, and hurriedly signaled that he wanted to do it as soon as possible.

So with Qiu Xiaozhi's encouragement, Tao Zhutu immediately jumped up and said:

"Qi Rongxun! You are the one who asked to go in and exterminate the thieves, and now you are the one who has no courage to transfer troops, so you can tell me what you want to do. ”

The peach chased the tiger and saw the peach chasing the rabbit, and he also said:

"San Lang, don't be big or small, Qi Hou has his own arrangements, and you can't be presumptuous here,

Whether or not to transfer troops is a family affair for Qi Hou, and whether or not to suppress bandits is a public affair, and Qi Hou will definitely make arrangements in the middle. “

Lan Ziyi heard the words of Tao Tao chasing the tiger, and smiled bitterly in his heart, but he didn't expect that the eldest brother was usually loyal, brave and resolute, and he would never leave his hand when he stumbled people.

Qi Rongxun couldn't sit still anymore when he heard this, got up and said:

"What kind of family business? The soldiers in this world are all soldiers of the imperial court, and they are all official business!

Fighting to destroy the thief is a matter that I Qi Rongxun can't shirk, as long as I can destroy the thief, even if it is cut down, it is worth it.

I'll tune this soldier. “

Everyone present stood up to applaud Qi Rongxun, only Lan Ziyi sat on the seat and sighed secretly,

After everyone sat down, Lan Ziyi said:

"It's a good thing to have reinforcements, but it's hard to attack on three sides and have poor communication between the three armies.

If we want to march, we must wait until the thieves are fighting, and only when the thieves are fighting, can we take advantage of it. “

As soon as Lan Ziyi's words fell, before anyone could speak, everyone heard a rush and noisy footsteps outside the door, which sounded like more than one person.

These men heard that not far in front of the door, a man had gone out of the procession and walked to the door and said into the house:

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is an urgent military situation."

Lan Ziyi in the house heard that a group of people were coming, and knew that something important was happening.

After hearing what was being said outside, Lan Ziyi sat up straight, looked out of the door with ripples in his eyes, and asked:

"Tell me something!"

The people outside the house seemed to be a little hesitant, and Lan Ziyi immediately said:

"Almost all the main generals in the city are here, there is nothing to avoid, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

When the sergeant outside the house heard the order, he said:

"Wei Hou, the front line Pegasus detective, someone saw a fire in Shouchun City, and many warships were going up the river from the downstream river, covering the sky and the sun, and were attacking Shouchun City."

Tao Zhulu scolded when he heard this:

"Damn, I felt something was wrong when I came out of Shouchun, why didn't I get this news at that time."

Qi Rongxun said:

"In addition to the Eastern Army, Lei Youde is downstream, the Eastern Army has not moved at all, and even if it is, it can't be so fast, it is Lei Youde who is attacking the city."

Lan Ziyi smiled bitterly:

"It's a fucking coincidence that you can't write a book."

+++++++++++++++++++++

When the sun climbed up the hill from the east, the official and military camps in Ruyin City were almost finished.

Lan Ziyi was dressed in armor and stationed at the gate of Ma City, quietly watching the soldiers lining up out of the city next to him.

The city gate is only decayed blue bricks, and bare rammed earth, like the other gates, the door panel can not be demolished and burned, such a city gate can still have a defensive effect is very doubtful, just like the soldiers who keep coming out can seize the opportunity to destroy the thief.

Lan Ziyi glanced down at the faces of the soldiers, the precious repairs in the past three days have finally restored the soldiers' energy a lot, but the poor supplies have made the soldiers look disgraced.

Thinking about the original battle of Jiangxia, the bean sprouts soldiers who couldn't eat enough were harvested by the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion as a hundred, like mowing grass, but now it has only been a few days, but the form has been completely reversed, the officers and soldiers are hungry and cold, but the thieves are strong and strong, this is not only a kind of irony, but also a kind of helplessness, helpless to make people worry.

Lan Ziyi looked at these soldiers who walked silently, everyone couldn't eat enough, Lan Ziyi was worried that the successive battles these days would make the soldiers break down, but the soldiers just walked silently, and occasionally someone raised their heads and saw Lan Ziyi standing next to the army, and nodded hello.

Lan Ziyi replied to every soldier who greeted him, and these brothers were willing to continue to fight in the face of millions of thieves, which had already moved Lan Ziyi a lot.

At this time, Tao Zhutu, who was guarding Lan Ziyi's side, asked:

"Young Master, why didn't you let us rush out when we got the news of the thieves' infighting last night?

Robbery while the fire is going to be fished when the thieves are fighting the most fiercely, and now it's so slow, and when you get to Shouchun, the cucumber dishes are cold. “

Lan Ziyi sighed when he heard this, Lan Ziyi didn't want to do this, after he heard the news of the thieves' infighting last night, he impulsively wanted to gather these thousands of cavalry soldiers under his command several times, and rushed to Shouchun City to tear the thieves apart while the chaos was there.

But in the end, Lan Ziyi still restrained his impulse and arranged for his cavalry to go out with the army today.

After taking a deep breath, Lan Ziyi said to Tao Zhutu:

"Third brother, Ruyin has hundreds of miles according to Shouchun, and it is not easy to run long distances.

Our army's current horses are simply not enough to distribute multiple horses to each person, if you rely on one or two war horses to run long distances, you have already exhausted all the horses to death before you reach Shouchun City, how can you take advantage of the fire to rob?

This is a taboo for soldiers, and this cannot be done. “

Peach Rabbit heard the words and said:

"But when we wait so slowly until Shouchun City falls, the thieves will already have the winner and loser, and then we will not take advantage of the fire to rob, but eggs and stones.

Even if our cavalry didn't run with all their might, they could still run in front in small steps, which would be faster than they are now. ”

Lan Ziyi sighed the breath he had just inhaled into his lungs, and then said:

"Third brother, 30,000 people may not be useful, what can we thousands of cavalry do in the past? Have you forgotten the last time you went out of town and met Lei Youde?

The number of people is too small, even if the thieves are infighting, we will not have a chance to take advantage of it, and besides, the thieves still have the water army on the city wall and the river, it is so easy to fight.

Now we can only hope for the thieves to fight for a while. “

After listening to what Lan Ziyi said, Tao Zhutu also felt that it made sense, and after thinking about it, he relaxed his tone and asked:

"Then if we don't let the long-distance run, we can take the waterway, now we take time and physical effort to walk through like this, and our food and grass are also insufficient, and the food that we have said to be sent from the north has not heard at all."

Before the words of the peach chasing rabbit fell, the voice of the peach chasing the tiger came from behind him

"Saburo! You have long been taught to be careful when you speak, and now you are talking nonsense here again.

Even the doors of the city have been torn down by thieves, and you can conjure me a boat. “
