Chapter 198: Redemption
And there is no way to say for sure that they will move their troops as expected, and the food and grass of the court do not know when it will arrive.
At that time, it will be their side that will lose the troops.
"Don't worry, this battle is not only in our anxiety, they also want to end it early, and the consumption of food is on both sides." Chi Jingyu looked confident and said, "Let's go back, they won't be able to bear it in less than three days." When the time comes, we will take it by surprise, and then let General Fang take the opportunity to rob the other party's grain and grass, so that we are not afraid that they will be exhausted? ”
The so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, which is probably what it means.
Hearing this, Bai Wushuang understood what Chi Jingyu meant, nodded, and said, "I understand, use the way of others to govern others." ”
After the two of them investigated, they returned to the camp, and just as the beef soup was ready, the two of them shared a bowl of soup.
After the soldiers were full of food and drink, they all recovered their spirits, but according to Chi Jingyu's orders, everyone still pretended to be dying.
When the enemy saw that Chi Jingyu and the others seemed to be running out of food, they took advantage of this to open the city gate and attack them.
The moment Chi Jingyu saw the city gate open, the corners of his mouth rose, knowing that the enemy army was deceived, so he crossed his legs and stepped on the horse and shouted: "Soldiers, take out your morale and give it to me!" ”
"Rush!" The soldiers obeyed the order and rushed towards the enemy, and the enemy leader found out that he had been fooled but it was too late, so he had to face it head-on.
The result was obvious, the enemy's attack was vulnerable, Chi Jingyu took advantage of the good terrain to command, fiercely suppressed the enemy army, and beat the opponent to the ground.
The enemy suffered heavy losses and hurriedly withdrew his troops back to the city, but Chi Jingyu was willing to give them this opportunity, and hurriedly rode his horse to contain the leader of the enemy army.
"General Fang, take advantage of this to attack their grain depot!" Bai Wushuang, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, took advantage of this and hurriedly shouted to the other tiger.
Fang Hu glanced at Bai Wushuang, a little unhappy about being instructed by a woman, but he knew that he should do this, and after taking a look at the other party, he rode his horse and led his troops into the city to loot the enemy's grain depot.
And Chi Jingyu saw that Fang Hu had already achieved the task, so he didn't love fighting, and released water to let people successfully withdraw to the city.
"General Fang, can you get all the grain from the grain depot?" Chi Jingyu heard Bai Wushuang's voice, and now they don't have to wait for the imperial court to help them solve it.
Now, they can use their own way to heal others.
Now all they need to do is wait until the enemy army is short of food and can no longer support it and surrender voluntarily.
Sure enough, after three days, the enemy soldiers were already too hungry to hold on.
Seeing that this was the time to attack the city and take advantage of the victory to pursue, Chi Jingyu stopped Fang Hu's move to attack.
"General Chi, what do you mean by this?" Fang Hu was stopped on his horse, and looked at Chi Jingyu in confusion.
"General Fang, I don't think it's necessary to attack its dead end now, I think we can negotiate peace with the other party." Chi Jingyu's face was solemn, not at all like a joke.
He wanted to use this to negotiate peace and convince people with sincerity, so that in the future, the people of Beicheng and the descendants of the rebellious party would also be convinced.
If it is recovered by brute force, it is very likely that it will rise up in the future.
"I agree with Jing Yu's idea, in this way, the people of Beicheng will also think that His Majesty is to convince people with virtue, and if he obeys, he will also be convinced." Bai Wushuang also agreed, saying: "If it is forcibly recovered, I am afraid that the descendants of the rebellious party will be dissatisfied and rise up in the future. ”
"Hmph, if you want to recover it, you have to recover it completely, what is the reason?" Fang Hu absolutely disagreed.
He was the emperor's man, so he naturally acted on orders.
The emperor asked him to do something, and he was absolutely respectful.
Chi Jingyu and Bai Wushuang both agreed to negotiate peace like this, which made him have to suspect that the two of them wanted to recover Beicheng alone, so he began to doubt the credibility of the two.
"General Fang, if it is indeed forcibly recovered, it will be much more convenient." Chi Jingyu still insisted on his own ideas, and wanted to persuade Fang Hu to agree with his ideas, so he persuaded bitterly: "However, if you attack, more soldiers will be sacrificed, whether it is the enemy or our side." For the sake of the long term, I would suggest peace talks. ”
"......" Fang Hu was silent for a while, his face couldn't tell what he was thinking at this moment, he still didn't agree to the peace talks, so he said: "No, Fang has to tell the emperor about this matter, and he can only act after the emperor makes a decision." ”
"Okay then." Chi Jingyu still wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth but didn't say it, he could only obey the monarch and ministers.
Although he felt that he was a little regretful that he could not negotiate peace, at least he had completed the basic tasks now.
The eldest prince can be considered to be able to explain himself. It's just that the lives of these soldiers and those unprovoked soldiers are not too irresponsible.
Fang Hu wrote down the situation in a letter and sent someone to send it to the Kyoto Imperial Palace.
When the emperor saw the contents of the letter, he thought in his heart that Chi Jingyu and his wife were so determined to reconcile, they must have made a deal with the lord of the small country in Beicheng.
Otherwise, why would such a simple matter have to be solved in a detour?
So he replied to Fang Hu and Chi Jingyu that they must take the small country of Beicheng.
When receiving the emperor's letter, Chi Jingyu and Bai Wushuang glanced at each other, both understood what the other party meant, before Fang Hu gave the order, Chi Jingyu said: "General Fang, wait a minute, before you give the order, I suggest waiting for two more days, when the enemy's strength is consumed again, then our army can be easily wiped out." ”
"General Fang, I think this method is feasible, in this way, our side will have an absolute advantage." Bai Wushuang echoed before Fang Hu spoke.
Fang Hu heard what the two said, and felt that what they said was not unreasonable, so he agreed and said, "Okay, then wait two more days,"
After getting rid of Fang Hu, Chi Jingyu and Bai Wushuang returned to their tents. Bai Wushuang looked around and no one noticed, and they asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
"In this ......way, I will write a letter to the messengers and send it to the city, and if nothing happens, they will definitely go to the feast." After Chi Jingyu finished talking about his plan in Bai Wushuang's ear, he picked up a pen and paper and wrote down a letter of peace talks and handed it to the messenger to hand it over to the lord of Beicheng.
After that, Chi Jingyu quietly ordered someone to prepare a banquet to wait for the arrival of the lord of Beicheng, and Fang Hu didn't know Chi Jingyu's plan because he was on duty at the very edge of the camp.
"What if the Lord of the North City doesn't come?" After a busy afternoon, Bai Wushuang finally got free, and walked to Chi Jingyu's side. It's getting closer and closer to the agreed time, and I don't know if the other party will come.
"Don't worry, he will." Chi Jingyu turned his head to look at Bai Wushuang, raised his hand and rubbed her head.
"How can you be so sure?" Although it was a question sentence, Bai Wushuang trusted Chi Jingyu 100%, but he couldn't help but be curious to ask him.
"If they don't want to talk, the messengers won't come back alive." Chi Jingyu chuckled lightly and answered people's questions.
Regarding Chi Jingyu's answer, Bai Wushuang nodded yes, now they just need to wait.
In the evening, the banquet wine was fully prepared, everything was ready, only the east wind was owed, and when the time came, I saw the other lord coming to the banquet with his own soldiers.
"General Chi, don't come unharmed." Wu Zhenxing gritted his teeth when he saw Chi Jingyu, and wanted to rush up and tear the person in half, but reason told him that he couldn't do this.
Now he is not only a thing among people, but the fate of his soldiers is still in the hands of these people. The hands hidden in their sleeves were clenched into fists, and they stared at Chi Jingyu with angry eyes.
"Where is it, the soldiers are not tired of cheating, how can General Wu not understand the truth on the battlefield." Chi Jingyu chuckled, knowing what Wu Zhenxing was angry about, but there was a slight negligence on this battlefield, and it was very likely that his own side would be wiped out.
And all this, he had to do as the master of the generals.
"General Wu, please come inside." After Bai Wushuang waited for the two to meet and finished speaking, he opened the tent and invited Wu Zhenxing to enter.
With Wu Zhenxing behind him, they entered the tent together, because it was the main tent camp, it was wide and large, Chi Jingyu and Bai Wushuang made a table and sat on the main seat above the tent.
Wu Zhenxing and the adjutant general sat on both sides below, and after the soldiers brought the prepared meal, Chi Jingyu raised his glass and said: "I invite General Wu to come this time, I will toast you on behalf of our army, and also make a friendly foreshadowing for the next conversation." ”
After speaking, Chi Jingyu drank all the wine in the cup.
Because everyone's wine was poured out of a wine jug, Wu Zhenxing drank it all without too much suspicion.
"General Wu, I asked you to come this time, just to come and talk about peace with the general." Chi Jingyu drank the wine in the cup, stared at Wu Zhenxing intentionally or unintentionally, and said.
Wu Zhenxing finished drinking, took a few mouthfuls of vegetables with chopsticks in his hand and chewed them in his mouth, thinking that these dishes and grains were all robbed from his own grain depot: "Hmph, you are talking about it easily, if you don't talk about it, even if you fight to the death, you won't have a good time." ”
"General Wu is right, but isn't General Wu coming this time to talk about peace?" Chi Jingyu spoke, glanced at Fang Hu, who had been silent on the side, and said.
"How do you know I'm here to make peace?" Wu Zhenxing raised his eyebrows, he didn't seem to want to talk about peace, and he seemed to be very confident when he spoke, and after thinking for a while, he finally showed signs of relenting: "Then General Chi will talk about how to talk about peace." ”
Chi Jingyu put down his chopsticks and said, "As long as General Wu takes the initiative to surrender, you can keep your soldiers safe." ”
"Surrender? Heh, do you think that the officers and men of our army are all puss and can be bullied and beaten? General Chi doesn't take himself too seriously. As soon as Wu Zhenxing heard Chi Jingyu shouting that he surrendered, he slapped the case angrily, and his whole face became even more terrifying because of anger.
Wu Zhenxing slapped the table like this, and the loud noise made the surrounding soldiers startled.
The atmosphere also dropped to zero o'clock because of this, Chi Jingyu was already a person full of blood and blood, although he intended to negotiate peace, he was also made by Wu Zhenxing, and the anger in his heart surged up and wanted to attack.
