Chapter 942: Singing and Measuring Sand

"Your Majesty, now that my army has 80,000 people, I can barely fight against the Tuli in front of me, and I think I can take the initiative to attack Tuli." Wei Chigong said loudly. His face was very happy, he didn't expect that he didn't participate in the battle of Li Jing's destruction of Jieli Khan, but it was not bad, at least, he met Tuli, a fool, and actually wanted to besiege Taiyuan, don't you know, this is the Central Plains? The emperor who besieged the Central Plains in the Central Plains, isn't that just looking for death?

"Don't worry, don't worry, wait and see, I'm afraid there will already be a move on the general's side at this time." Li Xin said with a smile: "Wait for the general to move, and then start moving on our side." What's more, Concubine Li's army is still a few days away from Taiyuan. We can't scare Tuli away. ”

"Yes." Wei Chigong was a little unwilling. But there is nothing to do in his heart, even if there are too many chances of winning on the Taiyuan side, everything depends on the side of Evil Yangling, after all, Jieli Khan is the biggest enemy of the Tang Dynasty.

"Jieli Khan, you can't blame me, God's will is like this, there is no way to do it, it seems that I am really a son of heaven, and with a casual hand, I have solved the biggest loophole this time." Li Xin looked at the north, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, he was happy for his luck. Unexpectedly, at the beginning, he just wanted to help Li Jing and let him fight with peace of mind, and transported a month's worth of grain and grass in one go, which made those ministers laugh, but when the Tuli army was killed under the city, he found out how lucky the original support was. Otherwise, at this time, Li Jing's army may have run out of food, and Jieli Khan's army may follow Dingxiang and kill towards Mayi, but it will be under Taiyuan in a few days.

At the foot of the Evil Yang Ridge, Jieli Khan came almost twice a day, holding the clairvoyant mirror snatched from the sentry in his hand, standing on the Evil Yang Ridge, looking at the Li Jing army camp in front.

"It's been half a month, why is there still smoke? What's going on? Jieli Khan frowned. said: "Could it be that Li Jing's army can't get a month's worth of grain and grass?" ”

He calculated carefully, from the siege of Taiyuan City, Li Jing's camp, after ushering in the last batch of grain trucks, there were no more grain trucks, according to reason, the grain at this time had already been consumed cleanly, but there was still cooking smoke rising in Li Jing's camp, which made him very annoyed, and he didn't understand the truth.

"Khan. The last general thought that Li Jing had no more food and grass. Ashina Simo pointed to the camp in the distance and said, "Khan, the last general has noticed that Li Jing's army has not carried out normal drills for three whole days. You must know that the most important thing for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty is drill, so they can unify the Central Plains, when there was food in the past, they would practice every morning, but in the past three days, there has been no drill, and even the soldiers have not appeared. In front of the gate, above the arrow tower, the patrol soldiers, etc., all have weak energy, which is clearly a manifestation of insufficient military food and insufficient food. The reason why it's still here. Probably just to find a way to completely withdraw to Mayi. ”

"That's true." Jieli Khan looked at Li Jing's camp, and if this was the case, he felt a burst of excitement in his heart, and said, "Li Jing must be used to confuse us." They are short of food and grass. ”

"No, Great Khan, look. There are a large number of grain trucks coming there, could it be that the siege of Taiyuan has been lifted and the grain has been delivered? Suddenly, Yi Nan pointed to the distance and said.

Jieli Khan and Ashina Simo hurriedly raised their clairvoyant mirrors and looked over, and sure enough, they saw one carriage after another slowly moving towards Li Jing's camp, looking at those wheels and axles on the camera, falling into the earth, Jieli Khan suddenly looked bad. Seeing that he could defeat Li Jing with grain and grass, he didn't expect that food would come at this time, which made him feel that the world was not so beautiful.

"Great Khan, if the last general's guess is correct, these grains and grasses are fake. If it were possible, Li Jing would have lit a bonfire in the camp tonight, and ordered people to sing loudly about the amount of grain and grass that had been transported. Ashina Simo said with a smile: "Although the strategy of the Central Plains people is powerful, as long as we see through the truth and truth, we Turks can also learn it." From Taiyuan to Evil Yang Ridge, even if it is a cavalry, four days, if it is a grain truck, hehe, I am afraid it will take ten days, although the soldiers and horses of the Tuli Khan are not very good, but it is impossible to defeat them within a day or two, so the last general believes that this grain and grass is fake. ”

"Don't forget, Mayi also has grain and grass." Jieli Khan couldn't help but ask.

"I'm afraid that Mayi's grain and grass have already been eaten by Li Jing. Otherwise, where can it support to this day, Li Jing's army is 300,000, there are 300,000 war horses, or even more, people eat horses and chew horses, how much can a horse yi support, the war horses are a little better, just eat some grass, what about the people? Those soldiers are going to fight, how can Ma Yi have so much food and grass. Ashina Simo said disdainfully: "Li Jing has 300,000 cavalry, according to the rules of the Central Plains Dynasty, the general is fighting in front, and the grain and grass must be in the hands of the emperor, which emperor will give you more grain and grass, if you don't trust it, one or two days of grain and grass is enough, if you trust, it is only ten days of grain and grass, and Li Jing's army is absolutely short of food." ”

I have to say that Ashina Simo has been under Li Shimin for two years, and he knows a lot about the affairs of the Central Plains Dynasty, and he understands the relationship between the Central Plains Emperor and the generals very clearly.

"Take a good look at it at night." Jieli Khan rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, the people of the Central Plains are too cunning, they can use any kind of strategy, and the things in front of him make it difficult for him to judge, if it is really grain and grass coming, he must be careful, I am afraid that he will continue to confront, if not, he is ready to attack at any time and destroy this army without strength.

"Yes." Ashina Simo nodded in response, he was very glad that he was fortunate to have entered the Central Plains and learned a lot of Han strategies, so that he could set up a concealment strategy in a short time and see through Li Jing's hypocrisy. He believed in his own judgment, Li Jing would definitely sing food tonight, but in fact, he took the opportunity to escape. What is this strategy called, Ashina Simo thought about it for a long time before he remembered that this strategy is to sing about the amount of sand, although the song in his mouth is food, but in fact it is sand.

When it was night, I saw that the lights in Li Jing's camp were bright, and I could see clearly from a long distance, under the lights, countless people gathered together, and some soldiers shouted loudly: "Today's grain is in storage, the counting begins, the first grain truck, one bucket, two buckets, fifty buckets; The second grain cart "saw a snow-white patch under the bonfire, which looked like it was full of grain."

"Khan, if Li Jing had grain in his hands, at this time, he would never sing it out so loudly, but now that he has done so, the only possibility is that the other party's hands are not grain at all, but mud and sand." Ashina Simo said proudly: "Although this plan is powerful, as long as you see through it, you will know that this is a childish and ridiculous thing." ”

"Yes, yes, it seems that Li Jing is going to run away, grain and grass are the foundation of the army, but it's a pity, although Li Jing is a talent, but in this regard, he is a little worse, his own grain and grass are not stored enough, so he wants to start a war with us, it's a pity." Jieli Khan was probably in a good mood because he felt that victory was in front of him, and said with a smile: "Until today, I have seen the dawn of victory." ”

"Great Khan, it is better to strengthen the attack on Li Jing's camp, so that as long as we drag them here, we can starve them to death." Ashina Simo clenched his fists and said. He was trapped in the Central Plains all these years and almost died in the army of road builders, but today he wants revenge.

"Yes, we can't let him escape, since we know Li Jing's truth and truth, then I am not afraid of Li Jing, as long as we drag them here, they will not be able to escape, and we can defeat Li Jing with the least loss." Jieli Khan nodded, this situation was exactly what he wanted, and it was the best way to do it at the moment.

"Yes." Ashina Simo said with a smile: "At the end of tomorrow, I will command the army to attack Li Jing's camp, if it was before, the two sides would definitely be in a stalemate at this time, but starting tomorrow, I want to see how long Li Jing can support, and how much time can the 300,000 army resist without much food?" ”

Jieli Khan's eyes flashed, at this moment, he seemed to have seen himself leading the army, chasing Li Jing, he couldn't help but let out a loud laugh, and said to Ashina Simo: "Let's go!" Almost, we can go down and rest, tomorrow we will have to rely on the general. ”

"The last general will certainly live up to the great khan's trust." Ashnasimo said loudly.

"Okay, okay." Jieli Khan's face was relaxed, and his figure gradually disappeared into darkness.

What he didn't know was that in the distance, in the camp at the foot of the mountain, Li Jing was wearing black armor, his face was ruddy, and he looked at the mountain peaks in the distance with a smile, surrounded by Chen Ziang, Su Dingfang, Cheng Yanjin and other generals guarding behind him.

"You say, at this time, did Jieli Khan also look at our camp like this?" Li Jing suddenly laughed. There were hundreds of grain trucks during the day, and when they entered the big camp from the back camp, they must have been condescending and could definitely see it, and Li Jing didn't think that he could hide it from others.

"I'm afraid that the Khan of Jieli thinks that we have run out of food and grass for a long time." Su Dingfang said disdainfully.

"What if he really thinks we've brought in food?" Chen Ziang suddenly said: "If this is the case, won't the general's strategy be invalid?" How to deal with Jieli Khan? ”

"Hehe, because the other party's leading general is Ashina Simo, he will definitely see through our strategy of singing and measuring sand." Li Jing glanced at Chen Ziang. (To be continued.) )
