Chapter 155: A Plan to Cross the River
Rubbing in Gongzicheng's arms, Ye Ziyi slowly turned his head, glanced at Xu Ling, who lowered his head and couldn't help laughing, cleared his throat in embarrassment, and stretched out his head to look at the silk silk on the several.
"Ahem, that, Brother Xu, that's all, right?" Ye Ziyi straightened up, sat on Gongzicheng's lap and held a few cases to read the list carefully, and thought about it. "I may not be able to transport so much at one time, I will go back and mix again, I think it should be enough. ”
"Leaf ...... Sir, tomorrow the army will go to Sicheng, I don't know when the military rations will arrive?" Xu Ling raised his head, his face full of anticipation.
"Hmm...... I remember that there is a river near Sicheng, and it is no problem to travel by boat, so I will take the waterway, and the first batch will be delivered in about two days, and then the rest by land will not be too slow, and it will be collected in four or five days. Ye Ziyi's index finger tapped a few times and thought for a while. "Sicheng is not difficult to attack, and it is quite rich, there are a lot of cities with grain along the way, if you can move faster, meet the city to grab food, then we will not lack food on the bank of the Xiangshui River. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, this is to attack Weidu, there is no shortage of food!" Xu Ling clenched his right hand into a fist and struck his left palm, letting out a loud high-five, and he looked at Ye Ziyi with bright eyes. "Ah Ye, when did you know Wei Di so well? Could it be that you know all the poor and rich cities here?"
"I've been here for a few days, and I've listened to the gossip of passers-by, and I'm sure I know a little about the situation in each city, but if you're not afraid of a detour, there are four or five cities along the way that are worth attacking, and in addition to food, if the rich families in the city are timid and knowledgeable, they'll also take out gold and silver to buy their lives, so that some of the military expenses will be saved, and it's not bad to keep the soldiers who are compensated for the casualties." ”
Ye Ziyi has been used to it these days, and these tricks of persecution and extortion are very logical, and the two people present frowned.
"Ah Ye, these words must not be said again. Gongzi Cheng put Ye Ziyi on one side of his lap and sat down, glanced at her. "How is it different from a robber to act like this?"
"I'm just talking, you don't like to hear it, I just don't say it. Ye Ziyi also knew that Gongzi Cheng and they couldn't accept such an approach for a while, after all, he was the son of a big country, and if he really wanted to act like this, he was afraid that his reputation would be ruined.
"Ah Ye, although you have good intentions, the son can't act like this, we are all dignified husbands, and we can't learn from that villain's behavior. Xu Ling smiled and said to Ye Ziyi. "The matter of grain is at your disposal, and I don't know where we will receive the ship carrying the grain?"
"The river is outside the west gate of Sicheng, so it will be fixed next to the stone bridge outside the west gate. Ye Ziyi said, and was about to get up with a few cases, but he just moved, and as soon as the curtain moved, Gongzi Tang appeared at the door of the tent.
Seeing the situation in the tent, Gongzi Tang was stunned at first, then stared at Ye Ziyi for a long time, and stammered and asked Gongzi to become enlightened. "Ah Cheng, he is...... Yours...... Child prostitution?"
"Ah Ye, I've seen Tang Gongzi. Childe stretched out his arms, held Ye Ziyi's waist and lifted her to stand beside her, with an indifferent face, as if the person holding Ye Ziyi in his arms just now was not him.
"Ah Ye has seen Childe. Ye Ziyi slammed to the ground with a solemn face, and at first glance it looked like a childe.
Childe Tang opened his mouth, pointed at Ye Ziyi and asked Childe with an incredulous expression. "Ah Cheng, you, you broke your sleeve?"
"Brother Wang, Ah Ye is saluting Brother Wang. Gongzi Cheng was noncommittal, straightened his body, knelt on the couch and straightened his robe.
"Uh...... That one...... Excuse me, you, you, tsk! Why didn't you say that it was Ah Cheng's prostitute earlier! Ah Ye, you, you are really ......" Gongzi Tang couldn't find the right words to describe it for a while, shook his head and sighed for a while, walked forward and shook his finger at Ye Ziyi for a while, but he didn't know how to say anything about her anymore.
"Tang Gongzi, I'm not his prostitute. Ye Ziyi stood beside Gongzicheng with her hands tied, looking at Gongzi Tang very seriously, her dark eyes blinking, and her face was innocent.
"You ......" Childe Tang gritted his teeth, clenched his fist and withdrew his hand, he took a deep breath and nodded. "Okay, okay, I'm not going to pursue this matter. ”
"Why should Gongzi Tang be annoyed with me?" Ye Ziyi looked at Gongzi Tang with a smile, and he looked indescribably angry.
"I don't care about you!" Childe Tang glanced at Ye Ziyi and pursed his lips, and turned to Childe with a smile on his face. "Ah Cheng, there is a lot of grain transported outside, is it that the king has transferred grain?"
"I sent the food. Ye Ziyi stood in place, still squinting and smiling. "Tang Gongzi, are you still agreeable?"
"Is that you?" Gongzi Tang frowned and looked at Ye Ziyi from head to toe, smacking his lips. "Ah Ye, aren't you tricking me?"
"Don't dare to say anything, if the son doesn't believe it, you can ask Xu if he joins the army or not. Ye Ziyi stood with a smile, with a bit of smugness in her smile, and Gongzi Tang's brows furrowed even deeper.
"You, you little ......" Seeing Childe Cheng glance at him, Childe Tang paused and changed his words. "You are a little commoner, where did you get so much food?"
"Well, the secret of heaven must not be revealed. Ye Ziyi sold a pass, and squeezed her eyes at Gongzi Soup, which made Gongzi Tang sick to his stomach for a while, and his face turned two points white.
"Heavenly Machine, Heavenly Machine?" Gongzi Tang glanced at Ye Ziyi and turned his head away to ignore her.
How did Ye Ziyi's food come from, except for Ye Ziyi, who was present, Gongzi Tang knew best, and it was inconvenient for him to ask Ye Ziyi the truth, so he simply found a couch and sat down, stared at Ye Ziyi and asked her with his eyes.
"Fang is a joke, Tang Gongzi, in fact, I have recently done some 'business', and all the money I got was used to buy grain. Ye Ziyi arched her hand slightly, raised her eyes to look at Gongzi Tang and smiled, and blinked lightly to indicate that everything was going well, but she didn't notice that Gongzi Cheng, who was sitting on the side, had already sunk his face.
Gongzi Cheng, who was sitting on the main seat, glanced at Gongzi Tang with a cold face, reached out and picked up the silk silk on a few points, and spoke in a very light tone.
"Ah Ye, what did you do to make a living and get such a big dividend?"
"Ah?" Ye Ziyi choked, this guy, why hasn't he forgotten this stubble? It doesn't matter what kind of business he is? Wouldn't it be nice to have food to deliver? Why do you ask so carefully? Can't you pay the reimbursement? After thinking about it, Ye Ziyi twisted and said. "It's nothing, it's just a matter of turning salt and iron upside down, isn't Wei in chaos now? I'll ...... Privately, that, made a little money. ”
This is half-true, Gongzi Cheng didn't know whether he believed it or not, he didn't snort, and only handed the silk silk in his hand to Ye Ziyi. "Aren't you going to get some food? ”
"Huh, so soon. Ye Ziyi took the silk book very reluctantly, hung her little head, and pouted. "Can I leave later......? I still want to talk to Childe again. ”
"Go, for there is an angel from the king, and it is not very convenient. Gongzicheng's face softened slightly, looked at her sideways and nodded slightly.
Where is Ye Ziyi willing to do it? Stretched out her hand and pulled the clothes on the shoulders of the child, lowered her head and looked at him, the appearance of being coquettish and cute with a small mouth was really cute.
"Alright, I'll give you another half an hour. There was a hint of a smile in Gongzicheng's eyes, patted the empty space on the couch next to him, and motioned for Ye Ziyi to sit down.
With Gongzicheng's permission, Ye Ziyi happily sat next to him, almost climbed on his arm with a smile on her face, looking at his serious appearance, she covered his hand on the couch with her sleeve, stretched out her little hand and held it tightly, seeing that he was silent, Ye Ziyi lowered her head and snickered with joy.
Gongzi soup is okay, but Xu Ling can't be calm, he sits opposite the two of them, he sees it very clearly, looking at the small movements of these two people, he is like sitting on pins and needles, shaking his body and about to get up and leave.
"Brother Xu, Tang Gongzi, have you heard that the flow of the Xiangshui River was intercepted?" Ye Ziyi and Gongzi are tired and crooked, and they haven't forgotten the serious matter.
"Xiangshui River?" Xu Ling sat up straight and thought for a moment. "I heard that there is a drought this year, and the water flow is not as abundant as in previous years, what do you say was intercepted?"
"That's right, I've been walking around in Wei these days, and I've heard that the Xiangshui River is not as watery as in previous years, so I asked people to follow the river upstream to check it, and there is something I think you two need to know. Speaking of this, Ye Ziyi turned her head to look at Gongzi Cheng, and seeing him nodding, she continued. "I suspect that the woks cut off the river!"
Hearing Qu Wok's name, Gongzi Tang couldn't help but say. "What do you say?"
"The upper reaches of the river have been dammed with huge logs to intercept half of the water flow, if someone blocks the diversion canal when we cross the river and breaks the embankment, the soldiers who cross the river can only be slaughtered, and those who are in the river will inevitably be swept away by the flood and lose their lives!" Ye Ziyi glanced at the two of them and said solemnly. "This matter should not be underestimated, I don't know what the two of you think?"
"What you said, is it true?" Gongzi Tang's face became solemn, he stared at Ye Ziyi tightly, and when he saw her nodding, he couldn't help but bow his head and ponder.
"My men have seen with their own eyes, although they have never seen the Wei army, but the embankment is indeed something. Ye Ziyi saw that Xu Ling and Gongzi Tang were thinking about it, and said in a low voice. "It's too risky to cross the river, and if you take a detour, I'm afraid you won't be able to take Weidu before winter. ”
"Yes, the battle of the Xiangshui River is unavoidable. Gongzi Cheng frowned, and his dark eyes looked at the curtain doorway of the tent. "Of the remaining 400,000 people who can fight, only the 100,000 who come from the capital, and if they come, the military rations will be a big deal. ”
"This, since I learned that you arrived in Weidi, I sent someone to investigate, those ...... Those guards sent all the old and weak soldiers, not to mention the battle, that is, on the way to Wei, there were corpses of soldiers along the way. Ye Ziyi couldn't say any more, she glanced at Gongzi Cheng worriedly, pursed her lips and lowered her head.
"How could those guards send elite soldiers to us? In this battle, victory has nothing to do with them, and defeat has nothing to do with them, so naturally they don't know the pain!" Gongzi Tang was very angry and slapped a few cases, and said hatefully. "What a damn thing!"
