Chapter 301: The Counterattack of the Qiuzi People (4)

Liu Qi is an old man in Yue Wangfu, he has always followed Li Zhen's side, and Mo Li is an old acquaintance, in his impression, Mo Li will always be a gentle and elegant person, with the bearing of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him, no matter how urgent the matter is, he has never seen Mo Li at any surprise, and his face is always a calm and elegant smile, however, when Liu Qi walked into the Chinese army's big tent, he keenly found that Mo Li's smile seemed to have a faint look of worry, and his heart suddenly struck, Involuntarily, he blurted out and asked, "Mr. Mo, but the enemy situation has changed?" Mo Li smiled and did not answer, but used the feather fan in his hand to point a few matza on the opposite side, and motioned for Liu Qi to sit down and speak.

In terms of official rank, Liu Qi at this time is already a high-ranking official under the fourth grade, and he also has the title of a strong general, which is one level higher than Mo Li's history as the head of the king's mansion from the fourth grade, but Liu Qi clearly knows that Mo Li is the most core existence in the Yue Wangfu system, how dare he take a stand in front of Mo Li, at this time, when he saw Mo Li give up his seat, he hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Sir, this can't be done, you sit, the last general will stand." ”

Mo Li laughed and said: "You Liu Qi, the bigger the official, the less daring you are, sit down." ”

"Hehe, if the gentleman says so, then the general will be guilty." Liu Qi's face turned red, confessed his guilt, and sat opposite Mo Li in a proper manner, looking like he was waiting for Mo Li's instructions.

Looking at Liu Qi's very honest face, Mo Qi was really emotional-Liu Qi two years ago was just a small deputy team leader, because of the bloody case of Crushing Zhuang, he almost lost his life, it has only been more than two years, Liu Qi has grown into a dignified and upright court member, it can really be said that the world is unpredictable, of course, Mo Li sighed, but also admired Li Zhen's wisdom of knowing people, and for a while he thought a little out of his mind.

"Sir, sir." Liu Qi saw that Mo Li didn't speak for a long time, so he called out twice in a low voice, and finally woke Mo Li up from reverie.

"Oh." Mo Li smiled to himself, shook the feather fan, and asked with a calm face, "What changes have there been in the front-line enemy of Wanhe City?" ”

A few days ago, after General Chen captured the enemy's royal city, the enemy army in the city fled a lot, and even there were stragglers who fled from the enemy's Sanliwan camp, and the last general has been strictly investigated, and no signs of the enemy's large-scale movement were found, but according to the sentry report early this morning, a small team of 2,000 people in Wanhe City was transferred to the enemy's Sanliwan camp yesterday, the specific situation is unknown, and the last general has sent additional personnel to investigate the matter, and the news has not yet been returned." As soon as he heard Mo Li ask about the dynamics of the enemy situation, Liu Qi immediately became serious, and poured out all the recent enemy situations in one go.

After listening to Liu Qi's report, Mo Li didn't speak immediately, but frowned quickly, and after thinking about it silently, he suddenly asked, "How is the training of Erzhi's department?" ”

Liu Qi pondered for a moment and replied cautiously: "Field battles are possible, but it may be difficult to attack the city." ”

Liu Qi's department is a mixed army of garrison battalions in various counties, most of the officers and soldiers of these garrison battalions are new recruits, or the officers and soldiers who were not selected into the regular army for various reasons during the previous selection, and their combat effectiveness is just average, which is not a good idea, at this time, listening to Liu Qi say this, there is no doubt, nodded to make it clear, got up, walked to the sand table in the corner of the tent, looked at the sand table thoughtfully, and did not say a word for a long time.

"Sir, but there was an accident in the Royal City of Qiuzi?" Seeing Mo Li's actions, Liu Qi immediately understood that the enemy situation was afraid that there had really changed, so he got up in a hurry, walked to Mo Li's side, and asked tentatively.

"It's hard to say, it's just possible." Mo Li nodded and said, "I've read the battle report from General Chen, have you found anything abnormal?" ”

"Anomaly?" Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, carefully recalled the battle report he had gotten, but didn't find anything wrong, so he had to shake his head and said, "The last general really didn't find anything wrong, please ask Mr. for advice." ”

"Hmm." Mo Li shook the feather fan in his hand, and said with a solemn face: "General Chen's troops captured the enemy king's city, took that class, but escaped his eldest son Bai Ningye, if this son fled to the Sanliwan camp, set himself up as the king, and then mobilized the military horses from all over the place, attacked Qicheng and Shaya with the soldiers and horses of Weicheng City, and attacked the royal city with the army of Sanliwan. ”

Liu Qi can become a general of the army, since he is not a weakling, as soon as he heard Mo Li's words, and then looked at the situation on the sand table, he immediately changed his face - in order to achieve the goal of the surprise attack, the whole army was lightly armed and long-distance attack, and its grain and baggage were all in Qicheng, once the back road was cut off, and then attacked by the enemy brigade in Sanliwan, it was bound to be dangerous, whether it was trapped in a lonely city or a breakthrough and withdrawn, it was likely to be hit hard, and the slightest carelessness was the annihilation of the whole army.

"Sir, the last general requests that troops be sent immediately to storm Wanga Castle and contain the enemy's reinforcements." As soon as he thought about the changes in the situation, Liu Qi immediately spoke up and asked for battle.

"It's too late." Mo Li shook his head and said: "Since the enemy army mobilized the soldiers and horses of Wanhe City yesterday, I think that the enemy army has already marched towards Wangcheng at this time, and now the plan is to quickly take Wanhe City and completely sweep away the enemy's rear road, in order to be invincible, General Liu can dare to do it?" ”

"The last general is willing to make a military order!" The situation was urgent, Liu Qi didn't dare to slack off, and bowed down to answer.

"Alright, the army will go now." Mo Li also knew the strength of Liu Qi's department, and knew very well that if Liu Qi's department wanted to take Wanhe City as soon as possible, its losses would definitely not be small, but at this time, he couldn't afford to delay at all - once Chen Wu's troops couldn't hold the Qiuzi King City and were forced to evacuate, they would face the dilemma of having nowhere to go.

"The last general obeys!" Liu Qi replied loudly, walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army, waved his hand, and ordered in a loud voice: "Blow the trumpet, the whole army gathers." Suddenly, the terrible sound of the horn suddenly sounded in the barracks, and all the units that were originally in training immediately assembled and stood by, and after more than half an hour, the whole army rushed to Wanhe City, which was more than 100 miles away......

When the time was right, the sky gradually darkened, and the Tang army, which rushed into more than 70 miles, set up camp under a small hill on the bank of the Tarim River, not that Liu Qi did not want to rush to Wanhe City by night, in fact, the anxious Liu Qi was eager to launch an attack on Wanhe City overnight, however, he was anxious to return to his heart, and he did not reach this reason if he was in a hurry, Liu Qi was still clear, and now the soldiers and horses of the department had just pulled out of the harsh training, and rushed for nearly three hours. Even if you get to Wanhe City, you can't do anything, it's better to rest for the night, and then march tomorrow, and because the army is in a hurry, many siege equipment is still on the way, even if you want to attack the city, you have to wait until the arrival of large ballistas and other equipment to be sure, therefore, as soon as it gets dark, Liu Qi ordered the whole army to camp, and at the same time sent rangers to advance to Wanhe City, creating a tense atmosphere of the Tang army's arrival, giving psychological pressure to the defenders of Wanhe City, at least not letting the defenders of Wanhe City sleep peacefully.

At three o'clock, the night is deep, most of the soldiers are asleep at this time, except for the footsteps of the sentinels who patrol back and forth in the barracks, there is silence, only the Chinese army tent is still brightly lit, together the generals gathered together, around tomorrow's siege battle to express their opinions, vying to take the lead, such a lively atmosphere made Liu Qi both relieved and a little headache - it is a good thing for the various departments to actively ask for war, but who to send to attack first made Liu Qi very difficult, simply did not express his position, and Mo Li sat on the left and right, Laughing and watching the generals argue endlessly.

"Report, there is a general Qiuzi outside the camp gate who claims to be a Baili Tao, and asks to see General Liu." Just as the generals were arguing, an officer in formal dress strode into the tent and reported loudly.

"Bailitao?" Because he was a high-level general, Liu Qi was able to get in touch with part of the news of the "Rising Sun", and knew that this person was the logistics officer of the Sanliwan Qiuzi Army, but Liu Qi had never paid much attention to such an unknown general, and at this time he heard coldly that Baili Tao came to ask for a meeting, and he didn't understand what was going on at all. ”

"Sir......" Liu Qi glanced at Mo Li suspiciously, and just wanted to ask, he saw a mysterious smile on Mo Li's face, and immediately stopped his mouth, turned around and waved his hand to a group of generals: "Let's discuss it here today, and you all go back first." "Since Liu Qi, the main general, has issued an order to expel the guests, although the generals are curious, they don't dare to ask more, and they each retreat.

A burst of footsteps sounded, and Bai Litao, who was not burly, walked into the big tent of the Chinese army under the escort of several Tang army sentries, and when he saw Mo Li and Liu Qi sitting on the top, he was stunned at first, and then walked forward quickly, reached out and took out a small token from the underwear coat, and put it in his hand, and said with a calm face: "The subordinate 'Rising Sun' Western Regions rudder deputy helmsman Bai Litao see Mr. Mo and General Liu." ”

Mo Li smiled, smiled very happily, stood up, walked in front of Bailitao, patted Bailitao's shoulder very politely, and said gently: "General Baili has worked hard, how is the military situation?" ”

"Mr. Yu, before the last general left the camp, Bai Ningye had seized the military power, and at this time he thought that he was already on the way to the royal city, according to the secret report, there is a secret passage in the palace that communicates with the outside of the city, the specific/location is unknown, the last general has captured Bai Suxin alive, and the guard of Wanhe City is his nephew, our army may have something to borrow, this thief is now outside the tent, please show me." Bai Litao faced his boss, without the slightest stage fright, and replied loudly.

Rao is Mo Lisu is steady, and he has long been happy and angry, but when he heard the news brought by Baili Tao, he couldn't help but light up his eyes, and he thought a little in his heart, and said with a smile: "General Baili has made a special honor, and this battle can be won by the general. ”

"Thank you, sir, this is all about to be done." Bai Litao was not pretentious, bowed his hand, and stepped aside. Mo Li didn't say much to greet, walked quickly to the copywriter, waved his pen and wrote a quick book, and after sending the urgent letter out with a flying pigeon, he turned around and glanced at Liu Qi first, and then raised his voice and said: "Come on, bring Bai Suxin in!" ”

Shame, anger, disappointment, sadness, the result of all kinds of expressions mixed together is embarrassment, and this is the true portrayal of Bai Suxin when he saw Mo Li again, facing the smile on Mo Li's face, Bai Suxin couldn't wait to find a hole in the ground and get into it, but unfortunately there is no hole in the big tent of the Chinese army, there is no mouse hole, poor Bai Suxin can only stand there with his head bowed silently, and he doesn't even dare to raise his head - the first time he fell into the hands of the Tang Army, he could also use the tricks of the Tang Army to cover his shame, This time it's good, not to mention being knocked over by his own family, and being deceived by such a nameless general as Bai Litao is dizzy, which makes the arrogant Bai Suxin feel faceless.

Seeing Bai Suxin's embarrassment, Mo Li did not say anything to ridicule, but stepped forward, untied the rope on Bai Suxin's body with his own hands, and said gently: "Old General Bai has been wronged, come, sit down and talk." ”

Although Bai Suxin is not a very clever commander, but he is by no means a mediocre person, at this time, when he saw Mo Li so polite, he immediately understood that Mo Li was useful to himself, but he was not hypocritical, rubbed his hand that was numb by the rope, sat down as usual, and did not say much, took the fragrant tea offered by the soldiers in the tent and drank it all in one go, put the tea bowl on a few pieces, and said expressionlessly: "Although the old man is now a lost dog, he also has a lot to use, I don't know how Mr. Mo wants the old man to serve?" ”

Seeing Bai Suxin in a bargaining posture, Mo Li suddenly laughed, shook the feather fan in his hand and said, "What does Old General Bai ask for?" ”

"I am friendly with the Tang Dynasty, all of them are the misdeeds of that class of children, and there are swords and soldiers, and now that class of children has become a prisoner of your country, it is really a crime and deserved, but my Qiuzi people are innocent, should not be buried with that class of children, if you can get Mr. promise, the old man can come forward to surrender Wanhe, Weicheng two cities, the whole country is attached to the Tang Dynasty, forever one of the states of the Tang Dynasty, I don't know if Mr. Mo believes it?" Bai Suxin didn't put forward what he wanted, but talked about the matter of attaching Datang.

Bai Suxin's words are naturally hidden, and the hidden meaning is nothing more than that he Bai Suxin wants to be the hereditary assassin of Qiuzi Prefecture, how can he hide Mo Li from such a little caution, no, as soon as Bai Suxin's words fell, Mo Li laughed and said: "Old General Bai claims to be old, people are old, but his heart is not old, with my mighty army of the Tang Dynasty, it is just a matter of fingers to level Wanhe and Weicheng two cities, why do you need to work Old General Bai to go out, don't mention this matter." ”

Bai Suxin suddenly became annoyed when he saw Mo Li's disapproving appearance, and said coldly: "If the old man is not mistaken, Mr. Mo should have sent troops in such a hurry, he should know that the royal city will change, and if he hesitates a little, he is afraid of a catastrophe." ”

"Bai Ningye, jumping beam clown ears, can set off a lot of waves, left and right are just relying on the secret passage of the palace, planning to surprise attack, there is very difficult to guess, what it does is just throwing himself into the net, a certain old general Bai is invited, there is only one thing, Bai Ming's power does not fall, the city will be burned, and the people of the city are afraid that they will also suffer because of this, you both love the people, where to go and choose yourself." Listening to Bai Suxin's threatening words, Mo Li shook the feather fan with a smile and said nonchalantly.

There is a secret path in the palace Bai Suxin just heard about it, and he was not sure, and Bai Ningye did not explain it in public before, Bai Suxin didn't know that Bai Ningye planned to use the secret path to attack the royal city, and now I heard Mo Li say it so surely, and then thought of Bai Ningye's escape from the royal city alone, and he already knew in his heart that what Mo Li said was true, and the original bargaining heart in his heart suddenly weakened, but he was not willing to help the Tang army recruit Wanhe City in vain, and for a while, some people didn't know where to start, and blindly lowered their heads, No more breathlessness.

Bai Suxin was silent, but Mo Li didn't stop beating his words, and said with a smile: "Jingshi firewood and rice are expensive, General Bai's family will have to live in the land of Beijing in the future, if there is no title, I'm afraid this day will not be easy, General Bai has worked hard all his life, if the evening is not smooth, a certain will not go." Anyway, everyone has their own ambitions, a certain is not strong, General Bai Lao has been tired for days, tonight in the camp to rest for a night, tomorrow a certain person will send someone to escort General Bai Lao to Jiaohe first, come to someone, please Bai Lao General go down to rest. ”

Obedient and obedient, although Bai Suxin didn't believe that Mo Li really didn't need himself, but he didn't have the courage to joke about the rest of his life, if it was according to what Mo Li said, after arriving in Beijing, he became a sojourner without a title, just relying on the little Lu rice given by the imperial court, I was afraid that a large family who was used to living a luxurious life would really not be able to live, this is a precedent - after the Eastern Turks were wiped out by the Tang Army, most of the Eastern Turk nobles were sojourners without titles, and the monthly Lu rice was only enough to survive, and they all lived miserably, The legend of this kind outside the Saiwai is not old and young, Bai Suxin can't afford to gamble, as soon as he heard that Mo Li had issued an eviction order, he immediately panicked, but he didn't want to admit it, so he hurriedly said: "Thank you Mr. Mo for your kindness, but I don't know what kind of title can I be awarded like an old man?" ”

"If you are high, you can be a marquis, if you are low, it will be a county man, depending on the situation, General Bai has chosen it himself." Mo Li got up with a smile and waved his hand, and several of his own front guards stepped forward to bet on Bai Suxin.

Bai Suxin was stunned when he heard this, in his opinion, if he could persuade the soldiers of the two cities to surrender, how could he be mixed with the second-class duke, but in Mo Li's mouth, there was only a marquis at the highest, and he was very unwilling, and secretly thought in his heart that this might be Mo Li deceiving him, so he was not in a hurry to reply, and got up and said: "This matter is very important, and the old man has to think about it for a while, so he won't bother Mr. Mo." ”

"Hmm." Mo Li nodded without mind, and even got up to send him off, but smiled indifferently and said: "Old General Bai should think about it, our army will pull out the camp tomorrow, and Old General Bai still has three hours to decide, go." As soon as Mo Li's voice fell, several guards in front of the tent rushed up, and set up Bai Suxin without much mercy and left the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Sir, this old thief is really hateful." Liu Qiyi, who had been sitting silently on the side, suddenly said a sentence after Bai Suxin was taken down.

The hateful thing Liu Qi said was just unwilling because he might not have a fight to fight, Mo Li couldn't see it, but he didn't break it, he just looked at Liu Qi with a smile and didn't speak, the slightly playful smile immediately embarrassed Liu Qi, scratched his head helplessly, and then laughed self-deprecatingly......
