Chapter 741: The Messenger
After the siege of Wagangzhai was fruitless, Cheng Yanjin immediately ordered the troops to be collected, the wounded were treated, and the losses were counted.
Cheng Yanjin's camp tent is very secret, hidden in the middle of the camp tent of ordinary soldiers, it is difficult for outsiders to know the location, they are afraid of being beaten by the Northern Thunder, and they are worried that he will kill him again.
Several generals of Wagangzhai sat in the camp with their heads down, drinking sullen wine, and did not say a word.
The battle during the day was really depressing, and the strength of the Northern Thunder was like a high mountain across Wagangzhai, allowing it to look up.
Cheng Biting Jin raised his head and poured a jar of fine wine, and threw away the empty wine jar sullenly.
Bang
The sound of the wine jar hitting the ground startled everyone.
"You have a good plan for attacking the city!" Cheng Yanjin asked with slightly smoky eyes, glaring at everyone.
Everyone was silent, obviously Yangzhou was in front of them, but Wagangzhai was at a loss.
Xu Shiji said untimely: "Today's siege, our army lost more than 23,000 soldiers, nearly sixty percent of the siege equipment was destroyed, and more than 6,000 soldiers were injured!"
"Enough!" Cheng Yanjin impatiently stopped Xu Shiji from talking.
"I'm asking you how to siege the city, not asking you to block Lao Tzu!"
Xu Shiji said helplessly: "Unless we have a way to solve Feng Daoqian, as long as he is in Yangzhou for a day, our army will not be able to cross the thunder pond!"
Zhai Jiao asked at this time: "I was in Dongcheng during the day, and I found that Yang Xuangan seemed to be at odds with Feng Daoqian, fighting alone, and no one helped, can we take advantage of the contradiction between him and Feng Daoqian, bribe him, and let him open the city gate!"
"Yang Xuangan is the son of Prime Minister Yang Su, what can we buy him!" Li Mi rolled his eyes and asked Zhai Jiao.
Although Zhai Jiao is a little smart, he is not a military advisor, and he all set his eyes on Xu Shiji.
"Difficult!" Xu Shiji explained: "Yang Su is different from the four major valves, his status today is completely related to Yang Guang, there is no interest group behind it, once we capture Yangzhou and capture Yang Guang, the Yang family will be finished, no matter how stupid Yang Xuangan is, he will not choose this time to surrender."
"Then let's find a way to lure that Feng Daoqian out of Yangzhou!"
Xu Shiji shook his head again and said, "Yang Guang is in Yangzhou, Feng Daoqian will not go anywhere!"
Zhai Jiao inserted her hands and shouted angrily at Xu Shiji: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you say!"
Xu Shiji was embarrassed, he really didn't think of a good way to attack the city, he never thought that the manpower could reach such a point, if the Northern Underworld Thunder is now established as a god, I am afraid that a large number of believers will die to it.
Just when everyone was at a loss, the messenger suddenly reported:
"Tell the general, a messenger has come to Yangzhou City!"
Cheng Yanjin was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously picked up the battle axe beside him, and everyone else was also waiting for him, thinking that the Northern Thunder was coming again.
Xu Shiji still kept calm, knowing that if the Northern Thunder came, it would not alarm the messengers.
"Who's coming?"
"He said that he was a person from the mighty general's mansion, and he brought the general's oral training!"
As soon as they heard that it was not the Northern Thunder, everyone relaxed, and Cheng Biting Jin sat on a low stool and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
"Let him in!"
Cheng Yanjin thought for a while, but still met with the visitor and asked the soldiers to bring the messenger to the big tent.
"Li Jing, it's you!" As soon as she saw the arrival, Zhai Jiao exclaimed.
It was Li Jing who came.
Li Jing walked into the big tent with his head held high, glanced around the crowd, and then saluted Cheng Biting Jin with a fist:
"Under the mighty general, sit down Li Jing, and I have seen the Demon King of the Mixed World!"
Many people know Cheng Biting Jin's nickname "Demon King of the Mixed World", and it is not surprising that Li Jing can call it out.
"What did Feng Daoqian tell you to do!" Cheng Yanjin asked loudly.
"The mighty general heard that Wagangzhai was short of food, and sent a special dispatch to send 100,000 loads of grain!"
"What!?" Cheng Yanjin suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, looked around again, and found that everyone looked at Li Jing in surprise, and knew that he had heard correctly.
"Feng Daoqian wouldn't be bad if he didn't send arsenic, he would send us food?" Zhai Jiao said coldly, which means that even if you send food, it must be poisoned inside.
"The general is merciful, and he can't bear to let the Wagangzhai soldiers go hungry, so he sent food, as for whether the Demon King of the Mixed World collects it or not, it doesn't matter!" After Li Jing finished speaking, he wanted to quit the camp and leave.
"Where to go!" Li Mi suddenly stopped Li Jing, and he had the intention of leaving him forever.
Seeing that Li Mi was about to make a move, Li Jing was defenseless and said calmly:
"The mighty general said that as long as he doesn't go back within the next hour, he will personally go to the Wagangzhai military camp."
Hearing Li Jing's words, Li Mi suddenly stopped.
Cheng Yanjin waved his hand with an ugly face and said to Li Jing: "Get out!"
Li Jing arched his hand, and if no one left on his side, the Northern Thunder would be a sharp blade in the hearts of everyone in Wagangzhai, let him throw a mouse trap.
When Li Jing left, Xu Shiji immediately checked the 100,000 loads of grain he brought, and found that after he had not done anything wrong, the heaviness on his face was three points deeper.
Zhai Jiao looked at Xu Shiji, who had a heavy face, and asked, "Master Xu, since these 100,000 quintals of grain are no problem, and the grain and grass crisis of our army has been solved, why are you still depressed!"
"Alas!" Xu Shiji sighed and said: "100,000 quintals of grain is only enough for the army to eat for three days at most, but the news of Yangzhou's grain delivery will spread throughout the army in one hour at most, and everyone will know about our lack of food at that time!"
Hearing Xu Shiji's explanation, everyone understood the "good intentions" of Bei Yinglei.
"This bastard doesn't let people idle for a quarter of an hour!" After Zhai Jiao scolded, she asked:
"Strategist, where do you see the way out for our army?"
Xu Shiji replied in a deep voice: "Yangzhou City is not ready to go down now, it is better for us to bypass Yangzhou and attack Jiangdu, and now we can't take care of the local forces in Jiangnan, we will take down the entire Jiangnan, feed the army, and then isolate Yangzhou, and then make a plot!"
"As long as Yang Guang is not stupid, it will be impossible to see us occupy the land south of the Yangtze River, so we can only send Feng Daoqian to suppress our army, and then Yangzhou can go down!"
"But in this way, if our army wants to take the land south of the Yangtze River, it will suffer heavy casualties!"
"But it's still that question, how do we deal with Feng Daoqian, in case he kills him, who can stop him!" Li Mi asked another most important question.
"That guy kills people like cutting leeks, and he killed more than 10,000 of our army in one day!" Qin Qiong said with palpitations.
"This ......" Xu Shiji was speechless, how could the Northern Thunder be a human power to contend with, the only thing that could threaten him in this world was Yang Guang's "Heavenly Demon Gong", Yang Guang would not be stupid and cut off his hands and feet.
Everything is back to square one, and if you don't solve the North Thunder, Wagangzhai will be unable to move an inch.
"Report!" This is the herald coming again, "Yangzhou has another messenger arrived!"
Cheng Biting Jin was clever, jumped up and shouted: "This Feng Daoqian is still endless!"
"This time it's the envoy of the Prime Minister's Mansion!" The messenger swallowed and said with difficulty.
