"Qi Wen, what do you think of our attack on the remaining two strongholds?" After taking the stronghold of Shanglin Village and sending someone to inform Zhao Jie to come back, everyone gathered together to discuss the capture of the remaining two strongholds.

Qi Wen opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he glanced at the happy crowd around him, and finally couldn't say it.

Zhao Xun seemed to see that Qi Wen had some scruples, so he smiled and said: "Qi Wen, if you have anything, just say it directly, don't take care of anything, just talk about it." ”

Hearing Zhao Xun's words, everyone also looked at Qi Wen, wanting to see if this guy had anything inconvenient to say. Qi Wen smiled bitterly: "Since the adult said so, then the subordinates are presumptuous." Judging from our current situation, it will be difficult to take the strongholds on the northeast and eastern sides along the way. ”

"Nonsense, weren't the three walled forts in front of us taken? And the losses are small, even you ......," someone retorted loudly. The rest of the people also began to talk.

When Qi Wen heard this, his face turned red and he shook his head helplessly.

"Don't talk yet, let Qi Wen finish speaking." Zhao Xun said with a frown.

Seeing Zhao Xun speak, everyone immediately sat down and listened to Qi Wen's reasons honestly.

Qi Wen said: "I have a reason for saying this, you should know that the attack on the first three walled forts was all carried out by strategy, and there was no real attack." Suppose a sentence, if the people of Shanglin Village don't come out today and strictly guard the village, what should we do? Fight hard? We are numerous, but we have recruits; The other party has few people, elite, and occupies a favorable location. As a result of this battle, I am afraid that the victory will also be a disastrous victory. When everyone heard the words and thought about it, they nodded unconsciously.

"I said that it was difficult to attack, mainly for two reasons: first, these two strongholds were difficult and numerous; The second is that for some reason, the people in these two places never go out of the village lightly, so our lure and transfer the tiger from the mountain are not available. We want to take it, but we don't have the equipment, and second, our soldiers still have such experience, and more importantly, we can't afford to lose. ”

After Qi Wen finished speaking, Zhao Xun, who was originally very happy, seemed to pour a basin of cold water on his heart, which cooled him down, but also made him sober. carelessly, I have won one after another in the past few days, and I am proud.

"Everyone has heard what Qi Wen said, what he said is very reasonable, and everyone should not think that they have won a few small victories, so they get carried away and don't know what their surname is. As for the attack on these two walled forts, we will not make arrangements for it first, and we will find out in the afternoon when we go to see it in person. Situ Liang, you immediately send someone to inform Lin Luo, Li Luobei, and the people left behind in Yanzhou Mansion, and ask them to step up their efforts to accept the displaced people who have fled from the three northern and eastern prefectures, and let them live in the walled forts we have occupied, there are many fields around those walled forts, and it is a pity that they are barren. After these displaced people also settle down, they can also provide us with soldiers. ”

After letting everyone go down to arrange for each post to rest and eat, Zhao Xun sat there quietly and pondered.

"What are you thinking?"

Zhao Xun looked up, and it turned out that Situ Liang had arranged himself and turned back.

Zhao Xun smiled and said: "I was thinking, this Qi Yan and Sima Yun are both related to the Yan tribe, but now it seems that the two of them are not involved." ”

Situ nodded and said: "That's true, if the two of them have practice, this Qi Yan person will get support on the surface, not to mention the benefits of identity, even the armor and equipment will also get a lot, but now it seems that this is not the case." Also, the last time he assassinated the adult, this Qi Yan clearly wanted to blame Sima Yun, and it became, Sima Yun was the only object of suspicion, and if he failed, the adult might also die with Sima Yun because of the assassination. But he didn't expect that we had already grabbed him by the tail. In addition to the five major tribes, there are many small and medium-sized tribes, and many tribes want to occupy the flower world of the Central Plains, and there is also competition between them. ”

Zhao Xun took a deep breath and said: "The government army of Yanzhou Mansion, the dragon army, and the two Yan tribes. There are too many chess players in this Yanzhou Mansion, and more importantly, I don't know what the imperial court thinks of this place. After all, there are still more than 100,000 Longxiang troops in Youzhou, even if most of them are composed of government troops, but after a few years of war, they are all the elite of the elite, Situ, we are in the fire! ”

Situ Liang laughed and said: "Only by taking chestnuts from the fire can we get the greatest benefits, if you don't finish the chess pieces in your hand, who knows who wins and who loses, who can have the last laugh?" Among these forces, we are the smallest, and laugh at the extent that these people ignore them, and it is because of this that we are easy to start. Adults aren't scared, are they? ”

"You don't have to provoke me, since I have made a decision, I have never wanted to give up. I want to be a chess player, not a chess piece, and in this game of chess, I will compete for the top and the low. ”

…………

"This is another stronghold of yours? This Qi Yan is too good at finding a place, right? ”

Several sentinels followed Zhao Xun to quietly lurk in the dense forest not far from the stronghold on the northeast side, and checked the situation on the opposite side from a distance.

This is a valley-like village, on both sides of the towering cliffs, there is only one exit, just at the exit to build a wall no more than ten meters wide, in front of the wall there is a ditch not more than a meter wide, outside the ditch there are three rejection horses, people look at it, daunting.

"How? See, do you still think you can kill it? This is only one walled wall, and there are two more narrow strips behind it, which can only pass a dozen people side by side at a time, and that is the target of a round of archers on the wall. Zhao Xun whispered, he wanted to make a few people know that the guys in the southeast and northwest knew because of a few small victories.

"My lord, let's go back first, discuss it, and see how to deal with it?" Li Lingfeng said.

The most important thing is that no one came out at all in this unknown narrow village, which made everyone have all kinds of schemes, but there was nowhere to play, which really meant that there was no way to win.

"Situ Liang, aren't you usually quite smart? Now pay attention, huh? Li Lingfeng saw Situ Liang on the side silently and said with a smile.

Situ Liang smiled helplessly: "I don't have an idea now, this kind of immobile talent is the most difficult to deal with, I make a move, then I also need the other party to see it, they don't come out at all, what can I do?" After saying that, he shook his head.

"Don't come out? Don't they have anything they need? You can grow your own food, but you can't do anything else, right? Zhao Qingshan suddenly interjected.

Zhao Qingshan's words suddenly made Zhao Xun and Situ Liang's eyes light up, and both of them noticed each other's abnormality, and Zhao Xun couldn't help but admire Situ Liang's cleverness.

"It seems that Situ Liang has paid attention, let's listen to it!" Zhao Xun said.

Situ Liang said with a smile: "Just like Qi Wen took Qi Xiangdong, when you open the gate of the wall, kill it." ”

"Qingshan, call Qi Wen over!"

"My lord! I wonder what the adults called their subordinates? ”

"Qi Wen, have you ever been in the stockade on the northeast side?" Zhao asked.

"No, we do our own thing, we do our own thing, and we seldom go to other places, especially the east and northeast sides, and we rarely have contact with other places."

"Do you know how the daily necessities of the long and narrow village on the northeast side are brought in?"

"There are Qi Yan who send people to transport them regularly!"

Zhao asked: "Then do you think we can mix in under the pretense of transporting goods?" ”

When Qi Wen heard this, he hurriedly said, "My lord, this plan must not be used!" The transport personnel carried Qi Yan's identity order arrows and passwords, and we pretended to be sure that they would be recognized. ”

"Alas......" Hearing this, everyone suddenly lost their spirits, and originally thought that they could take it down.

"Then do you know that Qi Yan's people transport it every few days? How many people are there? Situ Liang suddenly asked.

"Once every five days, forty or fifty people."

"So much? Why not multiple shipping points at once? Zhao Jie asked.

"It's also about having more control over the place, and it's also about keeping track of the situation in these places." Qi Wen explained.

Situ nodded and said, "It seems that we need to wait for the next transportation team, and success or failure depends on them." ”

"In this case, Zhao Kang and Zhao Jie, you continue to train the first and second sentinels, after this battle, there should also be changes, let them strengthen their training, it will definitely be very different from before. Li Lingfeng, you continue to lead people to secretly monitor the situation on the northeast side, and if there is any change, notify me immediately. At the same time, Zhao Hai and Ye Chaoge, who were still in Lijiazhai, were asked to return to Yanzhou Mansion to strengthen the training of intelligence and special teams. Time waits for no one! Zhao Xun sighed after speaking, the current situation is getting more and more tense, yesterday, Zhao Hai told himself, Sima Yun has been active very frequently recently, and Su Yun is also planning something.

After everyone left, Situ Liang turned back again.

"Is there something wrong with you?" When Zhao Xun saw Situ Liang coming back, he knew that something was wrong with him, so he asked.

"My lord, it seems that my lord has other ideas to take that village just now, why don't you say it. Let everyone implement it? ”

Zhao Xun smiled bitterly: "Do you know what idea I have in mind?" It's not that we don't want to say it, but that the idea doesn't do us any good. ”

"Oh? Adults, please explain! ”

"Fu Jun!!"

Situ Liang was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood that what Zhao Xunduo meant was to borrow the government army to attack, but at that time it had nothing to do with him, and even if he took the walled fort, he might not be able to keep it, so this approach was completely out of his own interests.

"Then why do you still ......?"

"We have taken three territories of Qi Yan in a row, not to mention anything else, just that food is enough to make Qi Yan hate us to the core. If the attack there fails, then Qi Yan will know that when the time comes, he can only use the hands of the government army to confront him, and we must be put out of the situation. Zhao Xun knew that Situ Liang wanted to ask, so unfavorable to his own idea, why did Zhao Xun also think that it was an idea.

"Subordinates understood! It's really getting to the point where we have to find a way to keep these three strongholds, and there are a lot of good things in them, especially food. Besides, it's not there yet, so maybe it'll be solved right away. ”
