Chapter 765: Xu Shiji Hides from the Sky and Sea
When Li Xin received that Li Yuanji was moving the people, he knew that Li Shimin was actually making two preparations, he was ready to withdraw from the southeast of Shandong and give up the place south of the Yellow River to Li Xin. ”
"Your Majesty, this also shows that Li Shimin has no belief in victory in his heart, he is afraid, afraid of being defeated by His Majesty." Chu Suiliang hurriedly said.
"The most important thing at the moment is to seize Dongping, what good advice do you have?" Li Xin looked at Chu Suiliang and said.
"This, Your Majesty, the minister has a plan, but I'm afraid Your Majesty won't dare to use it." Chu Suiliang pointed to the Daqing River next to him and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think of this river?" ”
Li Xin's eyes lit up, and finally closed his eyes slightly, and said: "This is a good strategy, but it can't be used now, how innocent the people in Yanzhou City are, killing on both sides will inevitably hurt the innocent, but this kind of flooding of Dongping, I still can't do it, forget it!" I'd rather wait for something from the people of Terror Lodge to deliver. ”
"Yes." After Chu Suiliang listened, he nodded lightly and stepped aside.
"Let someone send a message to Qin Qiong, you can attack Xu Shiji, you must leave Xu Shiji in Ju County." Li Xin gave up that tempting idea, but turned to the other side, caring about Qin Qiong in Ju County, and the soldiers and horses of the two sides joined forces in order to win more and solve the matter in southern Shandong.
Xu Shiji, who was far away in Ju County, actually felt that he was not good, because the grain and grass in the army had not been delivered for three days, which was obviously an abnormal phenomenon.
"Something's wrong." Xu Shiji stood up violently and asked a general beside him: "General Wu, the grain and grass in the army can last for a few days." "This general surnamed Wu is none other than Wu Shitong's elder brother, Wu Shiyi, who is now Li Yuanji's Qi Wangfu Hu Cao. The Duke of Anlu County is assisted by Li Yuanji, so he can be Xu Shiji's deputy. But the main thing is to take care of the grain and grass. It's barely a prison army.
"It can still support five days, according to the general's orders, the army must keep enough rations for five days, if it is a little streamlined, it can reach eight days." Wu Shiyi also hurriedly said.
"Eight days, that's enough." Xu Shiji stood up, looked at Ju County in the distance, and said with some reluctance: "I said why didn't Qin Qiong come to challenge for so long." It's not that he doesn't want to, if he has a conspiracy. ”
"The general is saying that he has cut off our food routes?" Wu Shiyi said in surprise.
"Is the grain and grass here today?" Xu Shiji shook his head and said: "The grain and grass don't come, it means that something has happened to the grain road, and anything can happen in Shandong now." ”
"General, the king of Qin wrote his own handwriting."
A soldier walked into the big tent and respectfully handed the letter to Xu Shiji. Xu Shiji opened it and looked at it, and finally said: "Sure enough, Cheng Yanjin seized Linzi." Kan Ling sat in Dengzhou and blocked the grain road. Damn, how come this guy Cheng Biting Jin is not dead yet, and he can still jump like this. actually let him seize Linzi, Cui Mingan is really incompetent. This person is really a big thing for King Qin. ”
"If we withdraw our troops at this time, I'm afraid Qin Qiong won't be willing. We have a small number of people, and the other side will definitely pursue us. The general is ready. Wu Shiyi said with some concern.
"King Qin has already told us the way. You just do what you're told. Xu Shiji handed the letter in his hand to Wu Shiyi and said, "Do it like a little, we only have eight days of food and grass." So it can only give you five days. The king of Qin has written to the gentry everywhere and asked the people from all over the country to help you. ”
"Although the strategy is good, if you want to do this, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary difficulty!" Wu Shiyi looked at the letter in front of him and studied it carefully, and his face suddenly showed bitterness.
"It's not difficult, how can you hide it from Qin Qiong?" Xu Shiji said lightly: "Don't worry, at this time, I'm afraid that all parts of the country have already moved, tens of thousands of people seem to be very difficult, but in fact it is very simple." One team in, one team out, although Qin Qiong is powerful, but it is still a little worse than King Qin. As long as we act carefully, Qin Qiong will not be able to see it, General Wu, the King of Qin attaches great importance to my tens of thousands of troops, and the same is true for the King of Qi, so there must be no mistake in this matter, otherwise, your and my lives will be difficult to protect. ”
"Yes. This will be arranged. After hearing this, Wu Shiyi's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said.
"King Qin, he is not an ordinary person, he can do such a big stroke. It's just that you are ready to give up Shandong? Xu Shiji's eyes were gloomy, looking into the distance, Xu Shiji was also not a simple person, he could also see through everything in this that Li Shimin's purpose was to do this. He clearly felt that Li Shimin did not have much confidence in his heart when facing Li Xin.
On the wall of Juxian County, what Qin Qiong has to do every day is to look at the camp in the distance with clairvoyance, Kan Leng's information has not yet been sent, but he believes that Kan Ling will succeed. Losing the grain and grass in Dengzhou, Xu Shiji's army will definitely lack food, even if there is no shortage of food, it will disgust Xu Shiji.
"Huh!" Qin Qiong watched it for a long time, and always felt that something was wrong, but there were no strange enemies, which made him feel a little surprised.
"Uncle Bao, what's wrong?" Luo Shixin walked over shirtless, sweating all over, and if he didn't practice martial arts for a day, Luo Shixin's confidence was very awkward.
"It's weird, but I can't find anything weird." Qin Qiong handed the clairvoyance in his hand to Luo Shixin, who took it indifferently and looked at it twice.
"I don't feel it. Xu Shiji is very insidious, even if he wants to withdraw his troops, I am afraid he will not show it. Luo Shixin couldn't see anything unusual.
"Did last night's spy come back?" Qin Qiong asked with some hesitation.
"Not yet." When the captain on duty looked at the funnel in the distance, he hurriedly said: "According to the rules, there will be a quarter of an hour before he comes back." ”
"When you come back, report it immediately." Qin Qiong's face was solemn, he trusted his own judgment, and he always felt that the big camp in the distance seemed to be doing something. But I don't know what I want to do.
"Yes." The captain on duty did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly retreated, waiting for the arrival of the sentry.
"Uncle Bao, think there's a problem? Hey! It seems that reinforcements are coming, tsk, there are a lot of them! Luo Shixin suddenly looked into the distance and said. Qin Qiong hurriedly snatched the clairvoyant over, looked over, and sure enough, he saw smoke and dust rising in the distance, and countless soldiers wearing white bright light armor came slowly.
"Reinforcements? Does he have so much food and grass? Qin Qiong's face suddenly changed. This is a very unreasonable thing, Xu Shiji actually increased his troops at this time, does he have so much food and grass?
"Shubao, although we cut off Xu Shiji's grain and grass, don't forget that Li Zhao's grain and grass in Shandong are all supplied by Shandong families, and those families have a lot of grain and grass." Luo Shixin reminded him.
"Even so, it is unlikely that there will be a surge of troops." Qin Qiong shook his head and said, "There are no more soldiers on the ground in Shandong, and Li Shimin still has to keep the army to guard against His Majesty!" Looking at this, there are at least 10,000 troops. Is there an army of 10,000 in Shandong? Luo Shixin suddenly stopped talking.
"General, the sentry is back." At this time, the captain on duty trotted over, gave a military salute to Qin Qiong, and said: "General, last night, more than 10,000 soldiers in Xu Shiji's camp left the camp, and the sentries didn't dare to get too close, but they saw more than 10,000 soldiers entering the camp in the morning. ”
"I see." Luo Shixin suddenly realized when he heard this, and said: "Shubao, this kid Xu Shiji is trying to scare us and make us think that he is increasing his troops. But why did he do it? ”
"Let's not dare to attack him." Qin Qiong shook his head and said, "I'm afraid things are not so simple. Xu Shiji would not be such a stupid person. I always felt that something was wrong. ”
Early the next morning, Qin Qiong saw the big camp in the distance, walking into a black oppressive area, and when the captain on duty came to report, he found that in the middle of the night, more than 10,000 soldiers left the camp, and more than 10,000 soldiers walked in in the morning.
"That's an increase of 20,000 soldiers! Xu Shiji really dares to think and do. Luo Shixin said disdainfully: "There are 20,000 people in the camp, but the cooking smoke has not increased much, hey!" It seems to be a little more, but there shouldn't be 20,000. Shubao, what does Xu Shiji want to do? We don't know that we can see some of his actions on the walls! ”
"I don't know." Qin Qiong didn't figure out what Xu Shiji's purpose was for doing this, but he still ordered Luo Shixin and said: "No matter what, we still have to let the soldiers prepare, I am ready to forcibly attack Xu Shiji's camp, there are only 40,000 people left and right, and our soldiers and horses are twice as many as theirs, I have prepared some things in the past two days, and I can't teach him a hard lesson." ”
"Uncle Bao, if it's an attack, I'll charge! Every time you fight, you are charging ahead, wearing more than a dozen places, the last time you were in Beijing, Doctor Sun said that although you are brave, but your body is injured too much, and you lose too much essence and blood, which will affect your lifespan. ”
"Hehe, I have lived for decades, and I can win the trust of the Son of Heaven, so naturally I am fighting for the Son of Heaven, and the horse leather shroud is returned, this is my Qin Qiong's ideal!" Qin Qiongjin showed a smile on his face, arched his hand towards the north and said: "I, Qin Qiong, can win the trust of the Son of Heaven and command an army of 100,000, but now I am only trapped in Ju County, isn't I sorry for the Son of Heaven, don't say it, don't say it, I will attack forcibly tomorrow night!" Hehe, I want to see how capable Xu Shiji is, and what he is doing. (To be continued.) )
