Chapter 200: Discuss the enemy
On the vast prairie, the cold wind is whirring. The prince and the generals, as well as Xu Qing, sat in the middle army, the prince sat on the stone, and the others sat on the ground. Of course, the snow had been shoveled away, and everyone was sitting on the sand. At this time, a few wild wolves came from nowhere, and they didn't know that there were many people here. He was caught by everyone, lit a fire, and roasted wolf meat to eat.
This kind of wolf meat, the prince naturally won't eat it, Xu Qing also feels that it's not good to eat it, after all, the wolf heart and dog lungs are notoriously poisonous, and other parts must be bad for the body. Xu Qing's eyes looked around, and he couldn't help asking, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, why are you camping in this plain, when Xue Yantuo's cavalry arrives, won't it become meat on the chopping board?" ”
Li Jiancheng laughed, looked around at the generals sitting and said, "Look, I'm right, I'll just say that someone must give me an idea now, right?" ”
At this time, a general said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I, Feng Li, am not convinced, he just raised a question, and there is no way to do it." ”
Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "General Feng, don't worry, this Xu Qing kid is asking me for something, otherwise how can he say it." ”
Xu Qing was stunned, he didn't think about asking for anything, so he returned: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister doesn't mean that......"
"No, no, no, Xu Qing, this can have a ......" Li Jiancheng said: "After Gu expels Xue Yantuo, this place of Xue Yantuo can be built with six mansions and seven states." As long as you think of how to build the city for Gu, then Gu will allow you to be a governor of Gaolanzhou, and you will be promoted from afar, but only the treatment of the prince of the country, you are willing. ”
The governor of a state is the biggest official, but later, the state became smaller and smaller, and the governor gradually ceased to be set up, but changed from the original assassin who was in charge of supervision to the chief of the military and political integration. However, the post of governor of the border or wealthy states is still retained, but it is also an honorary position. The local official should be the biggest, that is, the feudal official, and the Beijing official should be the largest, called the feudal marquis to worship the prime minister, Xu Qing is not old enough, and it is difficult to convince the public for the time being, so Li Jiancheng promised him to supervise a state, which is an honor.
But Xu Qingwan refused: "Prince Xie is very loving, but the minister has achieved today's status, and there are already quite a few complaints in the court. ”
Li Jiancheng snorted and said: "What is quite a whisper, a group of corpse vegetarian people, relying on their old age and the glory of their fathers, are here to point fingers." Tell me where the lone army should go in order to find a place to shelter against the enemy. ”
Xu Qing heard this, and said in his heart that this prince is a person who wants to inherit the unification, how can he talk about his courtiers here, if he wants to say it, he must also say it in private, so if he says it, wouldn't it be a big hit. Xu Qing coughed a few times and said, "Prince, there is really nothing to do in the minister's heart......"
The prince smiled and said, "No way? There's no way, I can't think of a way, I'm just going to kill you! ”
A killing word is spoken, so relaxed, so calm, so indifferent. Xu Qing listened, but his back was cold, don't say it, although Li Jiancheng said this easily, he may not be telling the truth, if Xu Qingzhen can't think of a way, Li Jiancheng may really be cut with a knife. In this icy and snowy land, in the wilderness, where can you find a place to live? Xu Qing's face sank like water, and he thought slightly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the minister thinks that today's plan can allow everyone to retreat ten miles back, approach Yingzhou, and fight with the army."
Li Jiancheng's eyes narrowed, and after listening to Xu Qing's suggestion, he said without arguing with his eyes: "Lone is going to destroy Xue Yantuo on this grassland, if you don't take a step back, you can find a way." ”
Xu Qing sighed in his heart, this didn't let Xue Yantuo kill him, but let this own person chop up, it's not worth it. died in the hands of Xue Yantuo, he was a martyr, and he died in the hands of the prince, and I don't know how people are going to fabricate charges to frame my family. Xu Qing was under pressure, his brain spun quickly, he looked down, and saw that there was sand on the ground, and he made a sound, there is!
Seeing Xu Qing's happy face, Li Jiancheng and the rest of the generals couldn't help but look at him, only to see him ask: "Dare to ask the prince, and the generals, when do you think this Xue Yantuo will be able to fight back." ”
At this time, another general said: "Lord Xu, the Great Khan of Xue Yantuo, Zhenzhu Khan, has died, and his subordinates are scattered, and the remaining fifteen will definitely think about annexing his men and horses first, and then choose a new alliance leader, but this alliance leader will not be able to obey the people." With Ben's understanding of the people of Xue Yantuo, before noon tomorrow, the people of Xue Yantuo will arrive! ”
Hearing this, Xu Qing was slightly surprised, in such a fast time, I don't know if I can complete my plan. Looking at the others, they all pondered, in such a short period of time, it would definitely be difficult for the 10,000 princes' army to reach the Cangzhou camp, and now, it is also extremely dangerous to be stationed in the same place, and it is a dilemma.
Xu Qing asked again: "This general, this official asks again, the danger we are in now is only that Xue Yantuo has the advantage of cavalry. If we can hold off its cavalry, will we be able to turn the corner? ”
"That's right, Ben will be called Xie Shufang." Xie Shufang replied: "What General Xu said is right, as long as you can find a five-foot-high city wall before Xue Yantuo's people arrive, you can turn the corner from danger." But where to find this five-foot-high city wall is still a problem. ”
Feng Li asked at this time, "General Xie, what if the Xue Yantuo people besiege us again?" Our army has three days of food and grass, and other supplies have also been thrown away in Baima Mountain......"
As soon as Feng Li's words came out, Li Jiancheng opened his eyes, he didn't know whether the plan in the rear had been implemented smoothly, if it was really as Feng Li said, then this trip would be dangerous. And when the soldiers around heard this, they all started talking.
When Xie Shufang heard this, he said with a smile: "General Feng, don't worry at this time, I expect that Xue Yantuo's new alliance leader will definitely not be able to convince the public, as long as he sees and attacks us." They must have been worried that there would be a change in the rear, well, so they retreated. ”
Xu Qing also nodded, Xue Yantuo's forces were too scattered, a full sixteen, if it wasn't for the True Pearl Khan being killed by Xu Qing, even if Li Jiancheng led his troops to break through, he could only be chased and killed by Xue Yantuo's people. But now, it was Tang Seng who was eaten, and Zhu Bajie went back to Gao Laozhuang with his luggage.
Xu Qing coughed twice and said, "General Xie is right, and this official also thinks so." However, it is necessary to make a few more plans, first, send twelve orders to Yingzhou to report the emergency, so that they can quickly gather troops to the north. not only protected the prince, but also found an opportunity to destroy Xue Yantuo. ”
"Second, you can use a suspicious tactic to continue to weaken the prestige of Xue Yantuo's new alliance leader. You can use this Pearl Khan's knife to pretend to be the Pearl Khan, and then claim that the Pearl Khan has been captured. If the Zhenzhu Khan can control the sixteen tribes of Xue Yantuo, he must be loyal to the other tribes, and threaten the life of the Zhenzhu Khan, so that he can separate the sixteen tribes. ”
When Xu Qing burned the camp that day, he deliberately destroyed the body of Zhenzhu Khan.
