Sun Jian said: "Those who have achieved great things, how can they be afraid of the head and tail, the harm of the three armies, the hesitation is the greatest, and the time to make a move must not be ambiguous; General, we didn't attack the camp last night, and tonight is still an opportunity, although not as good as last night's chance, but it's better than sitting still.

"Hehe, you still want to send troops."

Liu Qing smiled: "I'll tell you straight, I won't make this decision until the last moment!" ”

"Your trick may have a great hope of burning Jiang Yiyuan's grain and grass, but it is also very likely to fail, and I will never do anything that I am not sure of; Besides, the lord has not yet sent a clear general order, how can I make my own opinion, the lord has handed over hundreds of thousands of troops to me, I will be responsible, even if the three northern counties are lost, at least our army is still there, I will bring the army back to the imperial capital, without losing a penny! ”

Sun Jian: "But..." ”

He sighed.

Liu Qing's face was gloomy, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly stood up and said, "Master Sun, I suddenly thought of a clever plan, maybe I can control Jiang Yiyuan!" ”

"Clever plan? What's the solution? ”

Liu Qing said: "Didn't you say that Jiang Yiyuan is about to run out of food, then we will give him time, so that he will not be able to replenish food and grass within two months, and see if he dies." ”

Sun Jian seemed to be very reasonable when he heard it at first glance, but he instantly shook his head in denial, and said: "Jiang Yiyuan is attacking my Qiang County, my Qiang County is extremely difficult to resist, and there will be a report of defeat in a few days, and the granary of Qiang County is enough for him to maintain..." ”

"What do you mean..." Suddenly, Sun Jian seemed to understand what Liu Qing meant.

"Burn the granary!"

Liu Qing said: "Yes, even if we burn the granary, we can't get it, and he can't think of it." ”

"Go and pass on my order, all the 20,000 troops stationed in Qiang County are dispatched, and all the grain and grass stored in the county town along the way are burned for me, and... There are also those granaries of the big families, and none of them are left, I see that Jiang Yiyuan can't raise food, how can he march again, if we can delay him for two months, he will withdraw the army! ”

Sun Jian thought about it carefully and nodded again and again, but he changed Liu Qing's strategy slightly, and said: "General Liu, we don't need to burn the granary of the county seat of Qiang County, now Jiang Yiyuan has not attacked there, we don't have that need, if we order it now, we can completely transport the grain in the county town of Qiang County and transport it to the cool hinterland." ”

"Okay, haha... Good! ”

The matter was finally resolved, and Liu Qing said with a smile: "Lord Sun, then this matter will be left to you, remember, while withdrawing the army, you must destroy the granaries of those big families, so as not to leave it to Jiang Yiyuan." ”

"Eh... This matter seems to be a bit troublesome, General Liu, we have to discuss it again. ”

Sun Jian suddenly frowned.

Liu Qing asked, "What's the trouble?" ”

Sun Jian said: "Zhang Guozhong, Lord Zhang, and Li Yungang and Master Li are all members of the family, and Qiang County also has a lot of their industries. Also, most of the 20,000 soldiers and horses in my Qiang County are from the Qiang County family, if we send them to burn the granary of the family, it seems impossible, and if we don't do it well, it will provoke a mutiny, which is especially bad for us. ”

"You're right." Liu Qing suddenly realized.

The granary of the family clan is not something that can be burned by burning, the so-called involvement of the whole body, if the clan of Qingliang County and Chu County is forced to rebel because of this, it will be worth the loss.

"That's good, don't look at the usual families who always clamore that they don't have food in stock, but I know that they must have it, but they just don't want to take it out; Jiang Yiyuan jumped off the wall in a hurry, he will definitely grab it, and when the time comes... ”

"We're going to have to figure out a solution."

The two of them fell into deep thought at the same time and thought together.

Not only must not offend the family, but also burn all the grain and not leave it to Jiang Yiyuan, which is a bit troublesome.

Sun Jian said: "If the family family is allowed to withdraw together, they will definitely not be willing, and it is too late in time, Jiang Yiyuan's cavalry may catch up at any time, if it falls into the hands of Jiang Yiyuan..." ”

"General, I don't think you need to care about those big families, just transport our official food away; The people of the big families are all people who cherish food like gold, Jiang Yiyuan wants to grab food from them, it will not be so easy, if he forces those big families to be anxious, it will be enough for him. ”

"It makes sense." Liu Qing nodded and said.

At the same time, Liu Qing began to calculate silently in his heart, if all the soldiers and horses of Qiang County were withdrawn, it would be tantamount to giving up Qiang County, then Jiang Yiyuan's army would not encounter any resistance when it arrived, and at most one month, Qiang County would be completely occupied, then it would be time to fight Qingliang County, should Qingliang County also be withdrawn?

No, Qingliang County must not be withdrawn!

Sun Jian seemed to see through Liu Qing's thoughts, and said with a smile: "The general doesn't have to worry, those who become big things should be informal, we shouldn't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, the general might as well think about it, even if Jiang Yiyuan gets the three northern counties, even if we only have this last city left, but he has hundreds of thousands of troops in hand, and there are so many prisoners, but there is no food to support, what should he do?" Will it provoke a mutiny? As long as we don't give him a grain of grain, he will not be able to sustain himself, and he will definitely lose in the end! ”

"Okay, then I'll bet once!"

Liu Qing said: "You can do this matter, if the grain can't be transported, it will be burned directly." As for the big families, you can say hello to them, let them behave themselves, and tell them that Jiang Yiyuan has come to grab food, and they know what to do. ”

"Okay."

Sun Jian replied and turned to leave.

In fact, Liu Qing has no choice, if he doesn't do this, Qiang County will still be lost, the 400,000 enemy army is still commanded by Jiang Yiyuan, no matter how you say it, it is a dead end, rather than this, it is better to try Sun Jian's method, as long as he does not send the 100,000 troops in the county, he can accept what he does.

........

Imperial capital.

Ling Feng has been worrying about the affairs of the three northern counties for the past few days, on the one hand, he is worried that Liu Qing and the others will be defeated, after all, it is an army of 400,000, even if he returns with the 100,000 troops of the imperial capital, Ling Feng himself is not sure; Second, the emperor was not allowed to bring troops to the rescue, which made Ling Feng in a dilemma.

Yang Xiong once said that if it was him, if something happened to Xijiang, he would have led his troops away desperately, so he didn't care about the little emperor's intentions; Ling Feng had also thought that maybe Yang Xiong would really do it; However, he is different from Yang Xiong, Yang Xiong dares to do it, he can't do it, he doesn't listen to the holy decree, and it is against the way of the ministers.

"Lord, Ling An is here."

"Where?"

"Wait in the study."

"Let's go, let's see what's going on."

"No."

Ling Feng and Qin Liang walked out of the lobby together and headed to the study.

Coming to the study, Qin Liang stood aside, and Ling Feng walked in.

Seeing Ling Feng coming in, Ling An stepped forward and said, "Young Master, these are the two urgent letters I have just received. One is from Qingliang, and the other is from Kaiyuan. ”

Ling Feng frowned, and without hesitation, he picked up the cool one, what he was most concerned about now was the cool thing. While opening the letter, Ling Feng secretly prayed that his trip would not be a failure... (To be continued.) )
