I returned to Jizhou at a gallop, came to the military camp compound near the ancient town of Yuyang, and learned that Qi Dudu was convening a combat meeting.

In the middle sat Qi Dudu, who hadn't seen him for a few months, and seemed to be a little older, but his spirit was still very strong. Seeing me come in, he laughed twice and said, "Fu will return from injury!" Very good! Sit down! He gestured to the second chair to his left.

I looked, Li Chengliang on the left, Ye Sizhong on the right, accidentally, how did I get placed in front of Ye Sizhong?

But I looked at Brother Ye, his face was full of sincere smiles at my return, and he didn't feel unhappy at all because I was sitting on it. I'm a lot more at ease. Li Chengliang also smiled and nodded at me, this big brother, after the last battle in Liaoyang, his impression of me has changed greatly, well, it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy.

After I sat down, Qi Dudu continued: "Qilan is new, I will briefly talk about the past situation. He looked at me and said, "At the beginning of the year, our army defeated the Black Carboniferous Department of the Tatars, destroying 50,000 enemies and capturing 10,000 enemies. Almost all except for the head of the thief. But after September, the Black Carbonius Department reintegrated 50,000 men and horses, and together with the Tumut Department of 70,000, a total of 120,000 soldiers, carrying a large number of siege equipment, will soon kill Ben Jizhou! ”

Qi Dudu cleared his throat, glanced at me, looked around at everyone again, and asked loudly, "I don't know if you have any good strategies to break the enemy?" ”

Li Chengliang arched his hand and said: "Governor! Although the thieves are numerous, they are a rabble after all, as long as we hold the pass tightly and consume it, we must retreat when their food and grass are exhausted. ”

Hearing this, one of the people sitting opposite him spoke: "It is not wrong to hold the pass tightly, but now the north is only ripe, and I heard that the Tatars buy more grain and grass from the people of the Western Regions, and most of them are used in iron vehicles, which is enough to fight for a long time, and it cannot be burned, but I am afraid that the longer you defend it, the more flaws there are, and it is not the way to break the situation after all!" ”

When I looked up, this person had seen two sides, it seemed to be the deputy general of Jizhou, named Liu Jianchun, a native of Xianyang, Shaanxi, who was originally in the western border of the army, and was transferred to the deputy general due to merit and transfer to Jizhou Wei. This man is very brave and resolute, but he is also resourceful, and he is really a great general.

Hearing this, Li Chengliang didn't speak, but lowered his head and frowned, presumably Liu Jianchun's words happened to be in his heart, and he couldn't find a countermeasure for a while.

Ye Sizhong touched me with his elbow and said softly, "Where have you been in the past few months?" How do I think you're different? ”

I tilted my head slightly, with a nonchalant smile on my lips, and said softly, "I've lost weight." ”

Ye Sizhong tried his best to hold back a smile, and said, "You have always had the most ghost ideas, but what can you do?" ”

I was about to answer him, when I suddenly found that Qi Dudu was looking in my direction, and I happened to meet his eyes at the same time as I looked at him.

I only heard Qi Dudu ask: "Qilan, what do you think?" ”

I'm sweating, I just knew about the situation a minute ago, and now ask me what I think! Is this a punishment for a classmate who speaks small in class?

I hurriedly bowed my hand and said, "Governor Yudu, the lower officials think that what the two adults say is extremely reasonable!"

Qi Dudu smiled, knowing that I was playing tricks, but he didn't expose it, and turned his head to talk to others about countermeasures for a while, but he didn't know the point. And they dispersed.

I have no other characteristics, that is, self-consciousness, not long after the meeting ended, I invited Ye Sizhong to go to the camp of Qidu, of course, the small gift brought to Ye Sizhong from Dongying must be indispensable.

As soon as he entered the room, Qi Dudu was still sitting on the Taishi chair he was used to sitting on, and when he saw the two of us coming, he pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit!"

The two of us thanked us.

Just after sitting down, Qi Dudu asked us: "Just now, the two of you were muttering in front of the army, but you didn't say it to your face, now you can talk about it."

Ye Sizhong and I glanced at each other, knowing that Qi Dudu was talking to us, so they laughed together: "What can I do? What can I do? ”

Qi Dudu laughed angrily at us, and couldn't help but shake his head at us. Finally, he looked at me and smiled: "It's not fun to let your kid out and fool around for so long?"

I smiled and said, "Governor, you don't tell the truth at the conference, why do you want us to tell the truth?"

Qi Dudu was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips and smiled: "I can't hide anything from you!"

Ye Sizhong and I looked at each other and smiled. Before we came, we studied and understood, Qi Dudu did not speak thoroughly, but in fact, there were other arrangements.

Seeing through the two of us, Qi Dudu smiled and said: "I really didn't tell the truth, the total of the enemy's two armies is not 120,000, but 200,000!" I'm afraid that telling the truth will shake the morale of the army, after all, the total number of troops in Jizhou, Jinzhou, and Liaoyang is only more than 80,000. ”

Ye Sizhong nodded and said: "According to the system of our dynasty, the number of troops in each town is 22,000 and 8,000 military vehicles, considering that the strength of the army has increased during the war, the strength of the three towns is nearly 70,000, plus the new and old two batches of southern soldiers brought by the governor from the south, the total strength is 80,000."

Qi Dudu nodded and said: "Sizhong has been managing the baggage for a long time, and he knows it best. In this way, the strength of the enemy and our army will be as high as nearly three enemies and one enemy! Qilan, Sizhong, what can I do? ”

Seeing that Qi Dudu still didn't say everything, but just provoked us to speak, I didn't pretentiously ask, and asked directly: "Dudu, where is the enemy army now?"

Qi Dudu replied: "The Tumut Department is out of the Ao Han Banner, and the Black Carbonire Department is out of Hulunbuir Hailar, and the two armies are moving south together, like dark clouds before the rain, attacking our land!" At present, there are still more than 500 miles. ”

I nodded, "How are the two armies stationed?" How far apart? How do I release a pony? ”

Qi Dudu laughed, glanced at me, and said, "Qilan! See the same thing! You and I see something in the same way! ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Sizhong and said, "Sizhong, use Qilan, it's worth the sum of your other credits!"

The two of us hurriedly surrendered our hands.

Since he got to the point, Qi Dudu said: "According to the Tanmalai report, the Black Carboniferous Department and the Tumut Department were stationed in two camps at night, camped twenty-five miles apart, and each side released twelve miles of Tanma......"

I laughed and said, "If you send thirteen miles to explore the horse, won't you be behind the other party?" Then you don't need a sentinel, just put together a table of mahjong! ”

Qi Du Qi said: "What is mahjong?"

I was speechless for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "It's a very interesting thing, four people sit opposite each other, one hundred and eight cards, each fighting for itself." I learned it from overseas. Locals play mahjong and often gamble huge sums of money all night without sleeping. It's a lot of fun...... When the battle is over, I will teach you! ”

Qi Dudu laughed and said: "It sounds like this mahjong is much more interesting than fighting."

The three of them laughed together.

Then I asked, "Governor, who is the enemy in the forward battalion?"

Qi Dudu didn't pretend this time, and said bluntly: "The two armies are suspicious of each other, and neither of them will send a vanguard battalion."

I patted the case and said in a deep voice: "Dudu, the enemy is here!"

Qi Dudu asked, "You mean, the anti-plot?" How? ”

I squinted and said, "Black Carboniferous...... was calculated by our side, and the army was wiped out, and it was the great enemy in the heart that it was difficult to win over. And the Tumut tribe does not have a great enmity with me......"

I paused, glanced at Qi Dudu, and continued: "The Altan Khan of the Tumut Department has quite a city, and the rumors are difficult to move, compared to the Nilan Khan of the Black Carboniferous Department, he is younger, and from past experience, it is easier to deal with."

Qi Dudu said: "You mean, we pull Tumert and push the black charcoal?"

I pondered for a long time, and then suddenly asked, "Dudu, where is Suqi, the son of Nilan, now?"

Qi Du said: "Raised in the Panshan Courtyard, I think it may be useful when it is critical."

Ye Sizhong suddenly interjected: "This is the critical moment, this Su Qi is a good microphone!"

I nodded and said softly, "Not bad!" I stood up, walked to the chessboard placed on Qi Dudu's small table, picked up a white child, thought about it, slapped it heavily in the center and said: "This Su Qi is the Tianyuan of the Discord Scheme!"

The next day, there was a rumor in the camp that the enemy army was strong, and Qi Du Du played a request for holy will, and there was a intention to negotiate peace. It was also said that Su Qi, the son of the Khan of the Black Carboniferous Tribe, was in the camp, and the governor of Qi wanted to send him back as a bargaining chip. For a while, there were different theories, but they were quickly suppressed by bullets.

However, the words that should be passed on quickly reached Su Qi's ears, and when the child heard these words, he only smiled slightly, and remained silent.

Militarily, the battalion was transferred quite frequently, in addition to the whole army's combat readiness, but also purchased a large number of elite firearms, for a time the sound of war was very loud, overpowering the voice of peace, according to the servant, Su Qi only frowned slightly after hearing it.

After two days of quarrelling, the armament is also in place, fight or peace?

On this day, in the big tent of the meeting, Qi Dudu convened a military meeting to discuss the affairs of the enemy, and everyone suggested going to war, only Han Youqing, the deputy envoy, was skeptical, thinking that peace should be negotiated with the Tatars.

Qi Dudu was furious and ordered the sergeant to drag Han Youqing out, scold him with a cane, and suspend him for observation. So no one dared to speak of peace.

This Han Youqing was beaten, he was indignant in his heart, and he had no family, in a fit of anger, Han Youqing hung up the golden seal, rode alone, and went straight to the Panshan Courtyard at night.

Seeing Su Qi, the two sat opposite each other.

Su Qi took a sip of tea and asked, "At present, the two armies are at war, and I, as a hostage, I don't know what advice my lord has here?"

Han Youqing bowed his head and was silent for a long time. After a while, Fang raised his head and said, "Su Qi Little Khan, if I have contributed to your department, can you give me a way out in the future?"

Su Qi smiled and said, "My lord, I am now locked up in this mountain, and there is no communication, how can I help you?"

Han Youqing said in a deep voice: "If the little khan has a promise, Han is willing to be his eyes and ears!"

Su Qi continued to laugh and said: "The adult plays Huang Gai well, but unfortunately I can't play Cao Cao!"

Han Youqing sneered: "In this case, I will go to the Tumut Department!" When the Black Carboniferous Department is exterminated, I will see if you can still relax here and talk coolly! "Let's go!

Su Qi looked at his back, his expression was uncertain, and he watched Han Youqing walk out. Until Han Youqing pressed his hand on the door, pushed it open, and strode out of the door, Su Qifang shouted: "General Han, please stay!"

Han Youqing ignored it and continued to walk outside.

Su Qi stood up, rushed to the door of the house and said, "General Han, stay long!"

Han Youqing stood still and said without looking back: "What else is the matter?"

Su Qi said politely: "Please also invite the general into the house to talk!"
