Chapter 465: The Impermanence of the World (Part 2)
After half a cup of tea, Zhao Ponu led the army to rush out of the camp and meet the group of cavalry of the two kings' coalition army.
This group of cavalry did not go deep into the large camp of the Southern Army, but only killed and destroyed people in the places with few people on the periphery, because they were all cavalry, so they had killed and injured hundreds of people in a short period of time. The two collided and fought together, and the fight was very fierce, and they hurt each other a lot in a short time.
At this time, Zhao Ponu was finally about to get close to this cavalry.
At this time, a horn sounded in Yangyi City, and the cavalry team with considerable losses decisively pulled out their horses and retreated, retreating into Yangyi City.
Zhao Ponu couldn't catch up, and watched them retreat into the city, and heard the rebel soldiers on the wall of Yangyi City cheering loudly and scolding angrily.
"Let Zhao Ponu come back." Qin Cheng didn't care about this small action of the two kings' alliance, but just ordered lightly.
No one knew that Qin Cheng had an imperceptible smile flashing on the corner of his mouth after seeing Wu Huaisu's such an active military action.
When he returned to the camp, Li Yannian's movements lagged behind everyone, he looked back at Yang Yicheng deeply, his right hand unconsciously covered his left shoulder, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
The wound on his left shoulder still has a piercing pain.
"Shall we wait until the armies of the various Qin Kings arrive, and then attack the city together?" Stepping lightly on the war horse, Liu Mu asked Qin Chengdao.
After Liu An's defeat outside the Daimyo Castle, he was dissatisfied with Liu Che because of the order to cut the domain, and had a wait-and-see attitude in this war, or the vassal king, who did not work hard to attack the alliance of the two kings, at this time they all accelerated their pace and rushed to Yangyi City, so it can be said that Liu An's defeat was only a matter of time.
"If we wait for them to arrive, the Huns may have already broken through." Qin Cheng shook his head, "Didn't I already say before, within three days, Yangyi City will definitely be attacked." ”
..............................................................
As Qin Cheng and others expected, after the defeat and retreat of the two kings' alliance to Yangyi City, they forcibly requisitioned all the young men in the city to serve as coolies for the rebels.
It was late at night, but Wu Huaisu did not rest, but accompanied by several personal guards, patrolled in Yangyi City, and Wu Huaisu was in front of the city wall at this time. The moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is already early in the morning, but there is a hot scene on this side of the city wall, and countless people are digging the city wall under the organization of the soldiers of the two kings' alliance.
When the overseer saw Wu Huaisu, he rushed over to salute.
"How's the schedule going?" Wu Huaisu looked at the big holes in the city wall that had been cut open one after another, and asked the general.
"According to the order of the military division, more than 20 breakthroughs will be dug quickly within five days, and most of today's task has been completed, and in two hours, half of the total project volume will be completed!" The general replied.
Wu Huaisu nodded slightly. The so-called protruding gate is a small gate dug on the city wall that is not dug through first, and when the defenders in the city want to attack the siege army outside the city, the city wall is suddenly broken through to achieve the effect of a surprise attack. As Li Yannian said, blindly defending the city is undoubtedly defending to the death. A general who is really good at defending the city will be able to defend both offense and defense, so that he can hold the city and defeat the enemy army if he advances.
Although the defeat of the alliance of the two kings now seems to be a foregone conclusion, but before the last moment of the war, it cannot be ironclad to say which side will win and which side will lose, Wu Huaisu not only has great talent, but also has great will, so naturally he will not easily admit defeat.
Those who have established great things in ancient and modern times are not only superbly talented, but also have perseverance.
Wu Huaisu told the generals to hurry up, and then left the city wall and returned to the temporary residence and mansion for official business. Wu Huaisu's mansion is a staff organization, all kinds of officials work here, when Wu Huaisu returned to the mansion, the mansion was still brightly lit, and people came and went. Wu Huaisu returned to his room and did not sleep, but began to deal with the mountain of official documents.
After a while, there was a knock on Wu Huaisu's door, and a tired and relieved voice came from outside, "Report to the military advisor, the household registration of Yangyi City you want has been delivered." ”
Wu Huaisu opened the door and put the person into the house, followed by several people, carrying several large boxes, and the boxes were full of bamboo slips.
"Everything the military advisor wants is here." The person who came wiped the sweat from his forehead and said respectfully.
Wu Huaisu did not look at these household registrations, but instructed the man: "I will give you 5,000 soldiers, you must verify the people and household registrations in Yangyi City within two days, and if there are people who do not have household registration, they will be sent to this mansion immediately." Do you hear me? ”
"This ......" The extremely tired official was puzzled for a while, and retorted a little unwillingly: "Military advisor, now the army is not sure how long it can stay in Yangyi City, is it unnecessary to verify the household registration now?" ”
"Are you a military advisor, or am I a military advisor?" Wu Huaisu glanced at the official coldly, his voice was not loud, but it was extremely cold, "I'm not discussing with you, you just need to do things!" ”
The ......" official suddenly blushed and was indignant, but he had no choice but to hug his fists and say: "No! With that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait!" The official turned around and walked a few steps, and Wu Huaisu's scolding sounded behind him.
"What else does the military advisor command?"
Wu Huaisu walked out from behind the case, stood still in front of the officials, and said lightly: "I asked you to check your household registration, not because the army wants to take over Yangyi City. The reason why this is so is just to find out if there are any spies of the Chang'an Army in the city. So, you get the idea? ”
"Spies of the Chang'an Army?" The official was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, the situation of the army is precarious now, and every step must be taken with caution, because the army can no longer afford any losses. I also know that the possibility of having a spy from the Chang'an Army in the city is very small, but I would rather kill by mistake than miss the kill, otherwise your and my lives will be lost. In the past few days, everyone has worked harder, as long as the time can be achieved to win the war, the king has successfully entered Chang'an, and then I am afraid that you and I will not be rewarded a hundred times for your hard work today? Wu Huaisu said.
"The subordinates understand, and the subordinates will do it immediately!" The officials figured out what was going on here, and they couldn't help but be ashamed.
After the official retired, another subordinate came to report, saying that Lei had been asked to see him.
"Ray quilt? The people of the lord of the mausoleum...... What did he do? Wu Huaisu groaned slightly, and then said, "Let him in." ”
After a while, Lei was entered into the room to salute Wu Huaisu, and then said: "I hope to forgive me for disturbing the military advisor late at night, if you are rude." ”
"Lei Gong is very polite." Wu Huaisu returned the salute, "I don't know what happened when Lei Gong visited late at night?" ”
"Under the orders of the lord of the tomb, I have something to tell you." Lei was and Wu Huaisu sat down after the two cases, Lei was rejected Wu Huaisu's courtesy of letting the servant serve wine, and said concisely: "Lord Weng said that the situation of the army is difficult now, and it is the time to employ people. ”
"Lord Ling Weng asked Lei Gong to do things in front of him?" Wu Huaisu was stunned, a little unclear, and secretly wondered in his heart: The army really needs to employ people, but Lei Shu is Liu Ling's henchman, and he has not left Liu Ling's side for the past few years, and now Liu Ling has lined him up next to me, why?
Wu Huaisu couldn't figure out the key for a while, so he simply asked: "I don't know if Lord Weng has ever said that he will let Lei Gong come here to do some errands?" ”
Lei was shaken his head, "Lord Weng didn't say it explicitly, he only said that he would follow Mr. left and right, and he would still be sent by Mr. ”
"Still send ......" Wu Huaisu laughed in his heart when he heard this, and said in his heart, Can I really send you at will? Liu Ling is also a good person on weekdays, and she will definitely not do unreasonable things, and she must have a deep meaning when she sent Lei to be such a confidant. Wu Huaisu thought about it carefully, carefully chewed the words "follow Mr. left and right", and suddenly realized, and his heart suddenly became bitter and angry: Liu Ling is letting Lei be spying on himself!
Lei was seen by Wu Huaisu's expression change, and knew that Wu Huaisu had understood Liu Ling's meaning, and he couldn't help but recall what Liu Ling said to himself when he was in his mind: "The defeat outside the city of Daimyo, so that the elite of our army lost six or seven out of ten, and was forced to retreat to Yangyi City. At this time, Wu Huaisu held the power of the army, and he was also in charge of the defense of the city, which could not be said to be a high power. But at this time, his father could not be in battle to deprive him of military power. But Wu Huaisu has to be guarded against, if at this critical time, his heart changes, and the Chang'an army secretly communicates with the art of opera, and betrays the army to seek personal wealth, we will definitely be doomed. This time, if you go to Wu Huaisu's side, you will be asked to spy on him for the lord of Ben Weng. ”
"In this case, Lei Gong will follow me and make a military priest bar, I know that Lei Gong is very knowledgeable, and I often mention it." After Wu Huaisu understood the intention of Liu Ling's move, his body and mind were weak for a while, as if the essence of his body had been drained, he had lost his spirit, he barely stabilized his mind, but he was lamenting in his heart: Let Lei be monitored by himself, is this what Liu Ling means, or what Liu An means?
"Under the command." Ray was saluted.
Coming out of Wu Huaisu's room and walking to a relatively quiet place, Lei was stopped and looked up in the direction of the outside of the city.
"There is no greater impermanence than this." Lei laughed at himself and muttered, "Let me spy on Wu Huaisu, Liu Ling, you are really joking!" ”
Back at his lodgings, after making sure that no one was around, Ray whistled into the night sky from behind the eaves.
A short time later, a large bird flew down and landed on Ray's raised arm.
Ray tied the sealed note to the big bird's leg, smoothed the big bird's feathers, and with a shock of his arm, the big bird was released.
The big bird circled in the air a few times, and then flew out of Yangyi City and flew to the southern army camp outside the city.
