Chapter 131: Consumed
The snow in Guanzhong in winter has always been relatively large, especially in the northern part of Guanzhong, which is close to Longshan.
In the pouring snow, the army led by the king of Fengrong Yougu came to the city of Qianyi, and this time they did not attack the city directly, but stopped less than a mile away from the city.
"All the soldiers obeyed the order and set up camp here." After arriving at the place, the king of the right valley commanded.
Yes?
When the Fengrong soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned. The left Guduhou was killed by the Qin people, and it is said that at this time, he should bring troops over to avenge the Guduhou!
Why did the king of the valley order everyone to stop advancing?
"King Gu Li, aren't we going to attack the Qin people?" His guard asked.
"If you come from so much, you can do whatever you want." King Liwang of the Right Valley said very unhappily.
"The villain talks a lot, the villain talks a lot." The guards hurriedly apologized, and then ran over to convey the order of the king of Guli, "The king of Guli has an order, ordering the army to stop advancing and set up camp on the spot. ”
Camped?
Where are we encamped?
Although the Fengrong soldiers were surprised, since there were already orders from above, they couldn't say anything more, so they had to stop advancing and set up camp on the spot.
Qianyi.
At this time, Yingkang, Zhao Boyu, Yingzhao and others standing at the head of the city had already seen the shadow of Feng Rong's second wave of troops coming.
"Master Sima, as expected, Feng Rong once again brought troops over." Pointing to the army in the distance, Zhao Boyu said to Ying Kang.
"Order the defenders, get ready for battle." Ying Kang said.
"Nuo---" Zhao Boyu replied, and then conveyed the order to the defenders everywhere. When he returned to Yingkang's side after delivering the order, he saw the Fengrong army in the distance stop.
"What's going on?" Zhao Boyu couldn't help asking, "Aren't they attacking Qianyi today?" ”
Ying Kang didn't answer, just quietly looked at the Fengrong army in the distance.
They're already under the city, so why don't they just attack? Yingkang can't help but have doubts.
But the enemy's army had stopped less than a mile from Qianyi, and it seemed that it was preparing to set up camp.
"The enemy has actually set up camp, and it seems that they are not ready to attack Qianyi." Yingzhao couldn't help but say, "How can this be? ”
If the enemy attacks, it is enough, and it is enough to fight directly; However, the enemy who had reached the halfway point did not attack, but stopped not far from the city, which made the Qin army, who had made all kinds of preparations, tested, and did not know what to do?
Ying Kang didn't speak, and kept quietly looking at the Fengrong army in the distance.
A morning passed, and the Fengrong army not far away basically did not move, neither advancing nor retreating, just looking at the Qianyi city not far away.
"My lord, let's go back to the house for dinner! The enemy will not attack us for a while. The guards beside him said to Yingkang.
Ying Kang didn't reply, looking at the Fengrong army from a distance and thinking.
"You don't want to look at it anymore, it's been a morning, and you haven't seen Fengrong's army coming, and you haven't seen anyone leave, what's the use of seeing it again?" Seeing this, Zhao Boyu said dissatisfied.
After all, after a morning in the city, he was already hungry.
"Alright, let's go back to the house for dinner." Only then did Ying Kang speak.
"When the time comes, we'll discuss while we eat." Yingzhao said as he walked down.
Back in the house, his subordinates had already prepared the meal, and Yingkang, Yingzhao, and Zhao Boyu discussed while eating.
"What is the matter with this Fengrong army stationed under the city?" Zhao Boyu was anxious, so he said hurriedly.
"Third brother, what do you say Feng Rong wants to do?" Ying Kang took the conversation and asked.
"I think that after the first few battles, Feng Rong's morale has been seriously dampened, and they are not willing to stop the army, but they dare not attack again, so they have to garrison the army under Qianyi City to wait and see." Yingzhao analyzed.
"Yes, what the third brother said has some truth, after a morning of observation, I see that the Fengrong army does not have any major moves, except for lighting a fire and cooking, I have not seen the appearance of dispatching troops."
"They have failed several times, where do they still have the courage to attack our Qin army again?" After listening to Yingzhao's analysis, Zhao Boyu came to his senses, and his voice became louder.
"Wait-and-see is the most terrible trick." After listening to Zhao Boyu's words, Ying Kang said coldly.
Wait-and-see is the most terrible trick?
Zhao Boyu and Ying Zhao couldn't help but look at Ying Kang with wide eyes when they heard this, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"I think that the Fengrong army stationed less than a mile away from us is not a simple wait-and-see at all, but actually a kind of waiting for an opportunity."
Waiting for an opportunity means waiting for the right moment to attack at any time.
"Are you saying that Feng Rong or the thief is immortal, and he will attack us once we let our guard down?" Zhao Boyu said in surprise.
"Don't you think so? If they had attacked, they would have attacked long ago, so why didn't they do so? That's because the Fengrong nobles knew that we were ready to fight at any time at this time, and they would definitely not be able to take advantage of the troops at this time, but if they retreated, it would cause others to laugh, so they garrisoned around our Qianyi, besieging but not attacking. On the one hand, it can trap us in the city, and on the other hand, it can keep us attacking at any time, and once we let our guard down, the enemy will quickly attack us. ”
After listening to Yingkang's analysis, Zhao Boyu said fiercely: "What a vicious dog thief, it seems that you can't relax your vigilance!" ”
"Of course, you can't let your guard down, the Qin people and Rong Di have been hating each other for hundreds of years, who on both sides will be willing to take the initiative to retreat?"
Ying Zhao thought for a moment and said, "If this enemy doesn't retreat, what should we do?" The grain and grass brought back from the scattered countries can only last until the end of the year, and it will be difficult for us if the enemy insists on withdrawing north at the beginning of spring next year. ”
"Will the enemy hold out until the beginning of spring next year? No, wouldn't they stay outside of our city without eating or drinking? Zhao Boyu asked with some disbelieving.
"What's impossible, you must know that the enemy is originally going south for the winter, and staying outside our city is nothing more than a change of place." Ying Kang said while eating, "Besides, when they went south, they brought very rich food, cattle and sheep, and they didn't worry about winter food at all, but we just came here, and there was only grain from Sanguo in the city, and we must be the first ones who can't hold it after a long time." ”
"This?" Zhao Boyu said with some worry: "If they really stay outside our city all the time, in fact, there is nothing to be afraid of, it's just a big deal that we take the initiative to send troops to attack them, I don't believe that the enemy will stay here forever." ”
"Yes, you're right, we really can't sit still, isn't the enemy watching us? Then we will also observe them well, and once we find their flaws, we will take the initiative to attack and catch him off guard. ”
Ying Kang said, eating silently, thinking about the next step.
