Chapter 775, robbing grain and grass to protect grain and grass
In Zhaocheng, the deputy general reported that there was a shortage of grain and grass, and Mei Qiu said, "I have sent someone to inform the master of the door, the team that delivers grain will arrive at the second watch tonight, and you will lead 5,000 soldiers to respond, and you must bring grain and grass into the city." ”
Zhiyi interjected, "The Fireworks Army knows that we are short of food and grass, so there must have been an ambush. ”
Mei Qiu thought about it reasonably, "You lead 10,000 troops out of the city tonight, and you must protect the grain and grass at all costs." ”
"The Fireworks Army is outside, they have more troops than us, even if you send 20,000 people, you may not be able to keep it. ”
"If the master of the door has a high opinion, he will not hesitate to give advice. ”
"Send a team out of the city tonight, make up and carry food soldiers, load dry firewood on the carts, pour them with sulfur fireworks, and when the fireworks army appears, set fire to the carts. When the actual grain truck arrived, the fireworks army thought it was a trap and they had a chance to enter. ”
Mei Qiu nodded, and while letting the deputy general act according to the plan, she thought that Zhiyi was a little smart.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, Tao Mu and others are ambushed in the grass, the surroundings are silent, and the sound of rolling wheels comes from far and near.
Waiting for the car to arrive, Tao Mu waved his hand, and the roadside fireworks army came out to attack the convoy.
The Tianshan soldiers fought and retreated, and after the fireworks army approached the car, a rocket cut through the air and landed on the car.
With a bang, the car was ignited, the flames rose, and the fireworks army was caught off guard, and their bodies were on fire, and they became a burning man in an instant.
Tao Mu understood that this was a trap, and was afraid that there would be ambushes around, so he hurriedly shouted back, and the fireworks army fled in all directions.
Tao Mu returned to the camp in embarrassment and reported to Gu Nian, who pondered for a while, slapped the table and said angrily, "Tao Mu, you are really dizzy, don't you see that this is Zhiyi's trick? She deliberately used a fake grain transport team to confuse you, in order to meet the real grain transport team behind!"
After Gu Nianyi, Tao Mu woke up, and at this time, the spies came to report that the grain and grass cart had entered Zhaocheng.
If the grain and grass are intercepted, the city will be broken in the near future, and now the grain and grass will enter the city, and it will be much more difficult to attack the city.
Tao Mu came out of the tent in shame, looked up to the sky and sighed, knowing that the master of the door was still as unfathomable and resourceful as he was back then.
When the grain and grass entered the city, the soldiers of the Tianshan Mountains were happy, and their morale soared, and then they fought with the fireworks army, which was particularly heroic.
The Fireworks Army attacked for half a month, but still did not take Zhaocheng.
When the news reached the Tianshan Mountains, Longju was half happy and half worried.
At this time, the crowd asked for their lives, and they were willing to lead 30,000 people to help Meiqiu to relieve the siege of Zhaocheng.
The dragon was still undecided, and the candle was late at night, and Hua Chen saw him approaching, "The door master is thinking about the proposal of the people?"
"I hope Zhaocheng will hold on, but," Long Jushang paused, Hua Jin saw his thoughts and said, "I'm afraid that the iron ore rights will fall into Mei Qiu's hands." ”
Long Jushang nodded, "Mei Qiu holds the right to salt mines, plus iron ore, and she will have the final say in Tianshan in the future." ”
With the two lifelines of the Tianshan Mountains, Mei Qiu is sometimes nameless, and the master of the Dragon House is in name only.
Hua Chen sighed, "I didn't expect that Zhiyi could really resist the Fireworks Army." ”
No one expected that Mei Qiu would invite Zhiyi to defend the city, and what was even more unexpected was that Zhiyi would defend Zhaocheng without cracking the battle.
"Yes, we all thought that she would not help Tianshan, but she came anyway. ”
Long Jushang couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart, he knew that he should have opened his mouth first to ask for Zhiyi, but now he let Mei Qiu seize the opportunity, causing him to be passive.
Long Jushang is an upright person, and he is not good at playing tricks, and he doesn't know that Mei Qiu is coerced by knowing and forcing Zhiyi to defend the city.
"The owner of the door doesn't have to blame himself, in my opinion, Mei Qiu used means, how could she help her if she hated her. "Huachen knows that Mei Qiu is a person, and he comforts the dragon.
Long Jushang felt that Huachen's analysis was reasonable, so he asked her for advice, "Chen'er, do you think I should agree to Wanzhong's request?"
