Chapter 162: Xia Ji's Ambition
In the early morning, the sun was not yet scorching, and the four large camps of the Chu army had already sounded heavy drums. www.biquge.info Under the constraints of their respective generals, a column of private ladies marched out of the big camp with neat steps, and the whole army formed a formation, and suddenly saw a stubble of stubble and heads of people rushing to Wanqiu City like a tide.
The Chen army at the head of the city had already been awakened by the sudden drumming of the Chu army, and they all held bows and arrows, and then looked out at the battlements of the city wall, looking nervous and curious. There has been no attack in the past few days, and it is rumored that the troops are going to retreat, why does the Chu army still want to continue to attack the city, are you unwilling to make a last stand?
Next, hundreds of catapults, rushing carts, and ladders slowly pushed two hundred steps away from the city wall verified Chen Junbing's conjecture.
Uncle Xia Yu was also alarmed, and he was already standing at the head of the city at this moment, his brows tightly locked. She doesn't want to be as simple as ordinary soldiers think, although the marshal of the Chu army is a newcomer, but Qu Fang has been a general for a long time, familiar with battle formations, and familiar with military affairs, how can she do such a stupid thing that only increases casualties, and it is easy to be entangled by herself but she can't get out, and she is attacked from inside and outside, at that time, it will not be a simple increase in casualties, but the end of the entire army.
There must be something strange about the Chu army! Uncle Xia Yu was vigilant in his heart. It's just that the doubts in my heart are still there, what other means can the Chu army have? Digging tunnels? He sent people to bury a large urn at the base of the city wall all day and all night to identify the sound, but he did not hear the sound of digging tunnels at all. Counter the plot, plot against your own subordinates to earn the city gate? The army is full of his own cronies, only his own obedience, he has long been entangled with his own interests, it is impossible to turn against the water, and there is no benefit at all in surrendering the Chu army...
Uncle Xia Yu had a lot of thoughts, and he sighed, he could only respond to all changes with the same, no matter what, as long as he held Wanqiu City, the Chu army had only one way to retreat.
"Except for the East Gate, haven't the other three gates found the Chu Army?" Uncle Xia Yu turned his head and said to the staff who were standing beside him.
The staff was stunned. Didn't you ask that question just now? However, she didn't question it, and hurriedly bowed down and replied cautiously: "Sanmen has not yet discovered that the Chu army is dispatched. However, our people did not dare to go out of the city, and we did not know much about the specific dynamics of the third battalion of the Chu army. ”
"Strictly order the remaining three guards not to relax, but also send people to fall down the city wall, and get close to observe whether the three battalions of the Chu army have any small movements. Ordered to re-recruit and garrison the city in the city, and assemble under the city to stand by, ready to support at any time. In addition, I will send my own soldiers to supervise the four gates, and no one is allowed to move the boulder blocking the gate without my order, let alone attack without authorization! ”
The staff nodded again and again, imprinted all the orders in their minds, and waited deliberately for a while, seeing that Uncle Xia Yu was no longer silent, he turned around and went to convey the military order.
"Wait!"
The staff hurriedly turned around and reappeared as a listener.
"Unless I come in person, it is a military order, and the lord of the country is not allowed to open the city!"
The staff showed a slight surprise, then reined in and bowed down to take the order.
Let the Chu army be a stepping stone for you to control the Chen State and conquer that woman! Uncle Xia Yu stared at the Chu army under the city, and slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and the knuckles of his fingers clenched on the hilt of the sword turned slightly white.
King Chen's Palace. At this time, the Manchu Dynasty was still deliberating. Everyone is in the court, but the relationship between them is complicated, and their respective families also have a lot of connections in the army. Naturally, I have heard a lot about the imminent withdrawal of the Chu army.
Right now, a group of officials are discussing post-war reconstruction. Chen Guo is naturally not only the capital of Wanqiu City, but also many small cities, large and small. However, after Uncle Xia Yushu offered advice to clear the wall, most of the population and materials were transported to Wanqiu City one after another, and only then did he have the spare heart to attack King Chen's palace and find that the grain bags were piled up.
Now that the Chu army is about to retreat, those city lords and county lords began to think about the materials in the city for their post-war reconstruction. After all, a lot of wartime supplies were used, and it was unrealistic to want to get back all the materials they had transported. Right now, everyone is making a lot of noise about this. There are those who rely on their strong bodies to solve the problem by force are about to fight, and there are also articulate people who are unwilling to do anything, only talking about outsiders who do not use their hands to convince people, and there are even those who are not reasonable and can not be strong, so they have another way, raise their sleeves and keep wiping the corners of their eyes, and secretly smear pepper powder on their eyes while everyone is not paying attention, and suddenly their eyes are full of tears, revealing a sad look.
This court is as lively as a vegetable market.
Xia Ji sat behind the imperial case, listening with a smile on her face at first, and slowly became distracted by herself, not knowing what she was thinking in her head.
Those city lords didn't know that Xia Ji had already flown out of the sky, and they were still crying to each other.
Xia Nan hurriedly walked in at this time, glancing at these city lords with disgust. When defending the city, they huddled at home one by one, and at this time, they knew that the Chu army was going to withdraw, so they came to compete for benefits.
"Lord, the Chu army has attacked the city." Xia Nan reported to Xia Ji loudly, not loud, no, the hall is too noisy.
Xia Ji woke up smartly, and subconsciously said, "Yu Xin is coming?" ”
Xia Nan was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer, because she didn't know either, so she thought about it and had to continue: "The people who the last general arranged at the east gate saw the Chu army on the city wall and began to assemble. It's supposed to be the last stand. ”
Xia Ji sighed with a worried face and said, "Then can he win." ”
But as soon as the words came out, Xia Ji suddenly felt that the originally noisy hall became silent, and immediately knew that he had lost his words, and his face showed a touch of pink, and explained: "I mean that the Chu army is now exhausted, and it is impossible to attack the city again, and now it is just a dog jumping over the wall, so you don't need to worry too much." ”
"What the lord of the country said is right, with General Xia in charge of my Wanqiu, I must have no worries." A city lord was full of confidence.
"Not bad! The general is here in my Chen country, fortunately! ”
"Well said!"
"There is a great general in the Chu State, but he is just a clown who jumps off the beam with a false appearance."
。。。
Everyone agreed, obviously after such a long time, they all saw that it was impossible for the Chu State to attack the city. Among them, it is naturally Uncle Xia Yu's great contribution, and everyone praises him in his words. In particular, the few military attaches present were even more able to praise Uncle Xia Yu.
But these words fell into the eyes of Ling Yin Kongning, Dr. Chen and other officials who were loyal to Xia Ji, and they were even more worried.
Xia Ji was also bored for a while when she heard that the Chu army was about to withdraw, and waved her hand. The palace people standing on the side understood their intentions, and stood up and announced their retirement loudly.
The officials bowed and retreated. After all, the war has started again, and there must be a lot of casualties in the consumption of materials and personnel, and there will be no result at this time, and we will have to wait until the end of the war to reach a conclusion.
Ling Yin Kongning, Dr. Chen, Xia Nan and others still wanted to stay, but when they saw Xia Ji waving her hand at their group again, they had to bow down and retire in the same way.
A large hall was empty for a while. Natsuhime suddenly became a little bored. He worked hard to govern this country, and finally made Chen Guo get rid of the difficult and difficult situation and become rich in the people, but he never thought that it was still not as good as the prestige of a military general, but why did Chu State, Qi State and other countries not have this situation.
Is it because of his identity as an outsider? Xia Ji looked down at her breasts, which were unusually tall and plump without a chest cloth like outsiders, and a trace of resentment rose in her heart! I prefer to make some achievements in this world as an insider, and fight for a good status for those insiders who prefer Chenghuan!
