Chapter 549: Be confident
After the middle-aged man left, the lazy man sat upright, looking inexplicable, not knowing what he was thinking.
A quarter of an hour later, a sharp edge shot out of his deep eyes, and then he shouted, "Someone!"
Then, out of nowhere, a man in black appeared in the big tent and knelt down respectfully to the lazy man, "Master, what do you command?"
There was no joy or sorrow on the face of the man in black, some were just respectful to the lazy man, looking at his resolute expression, it could be seen that he was not an ordinary person.
"Go, let General Ma and them go and inquire carefully about whether Zhenbeihou is really dead, and, no matter what the situation is, strengthen the spread of the news that Zhenbeihou is dead. The lazy man commanded word for word.
"Yes, master!" the man in black saluted.
The lazy man paused when he saw this, and then said loudly: "Let General Ma come to this king after completing these two things." ”
"Honor!"
"Go!" Seeing that the man in black should get down, the lazy man waved his hand to let the man in black go down.
"Yes!" said the man in black, rising from the ground without saying a word, and then disappeared into the tent as quickly as he came.
The lazy man fell into a long contemplation after the man in black left, but there was a faint melancholy between his eyebrows.
More than two hours later, just as the lazy man closed his eyes and recuperated, the sound of a report came from outside the big tent, and then an ordinary-looking young man in his twenties wearing armor walked in and knelt on the ground to report, "Master, General Ma has arrived!"
"Let him in!" the languid man finally managed his eyes, their deep, bottomless eyes making it impossible to see what he was thinking.
The ordinary-looking young man didn't know why he trembled when he heard this, obviously there was no trace of effort on the lazy man's face, but he felt an inexplicable danger.
So, his heart sank, and he hurriedly said, "Yes!" and bowed and withdrew, thinking that if he didn't walk too fast and dislike the lazy man, he would definitely run.
Sure enough, as soon as the ordinary-looking young man went out, a tall and sturdy man in his thirties and forties was as tall and sturdy as an ox and wearing armor.
The person who came was General Ma in the mouth of the lazy man.
"Lord Wang......" General Ma just knelt down to the lazy man and was about to report, when the lazy man said loudly: "General Ma doesn't have to be polite, say, what happened to what this king asked you to do?"
"Back to the prince, the people sent by his subordinates heard from the secret guards who were ambushed in the camp of the Mo family army that now they have no chance to get close to the main tent of the town Beihou, so for the time being, it is not sure whether the town Beihou has been poisoned and died. The newly appointed commander-in-chief, Zheng Shiyan, is a strict one, and now our people can't get close to too critical places, so the information we can get is limited. ”
Although General Ma trembled in his heart, he still had to reply truthfully.
Speaking of which, after Mo Yuntian suffered a big loss in the previous Guangyan Pass, he realized that there were spies in the Mo family's army, so he had already checked the spies mixed in by the two coalition forces at that time, if he hadn't suddenly poisoned them, then the spies of the two coalition forces might have been wiped out.
Later, Zheng Shiyan and the others came to their senses and continued to thoroughly investigate the spies, but at that time, the spies of the two countries had already wiped out the evidence or something, and Zheng Shiyan and the others only found a few unimportant spies.
However, after Mo Yuntian and Zheng Shiyan's investigation and crackdown, although the spies sent by the two coalition forces have not been wiped out, there are not many that have been preserved.
This is also the reason why their spies have not played any role in the climate recently, and General Ma has not been able to find out the exact news of how Mo Yuntian is now.
"Oh, General Ma, do you think this town is dead or not?"
When General Ma heard the lazy man's words, he knew how to answer, and was very embarrassed for a while, "Subordinate, subordinate don't dare to make a conclusion!"
From this small sentence, it is enough to see that this General Ma is also a rough and fine, and he is not as open-minded as he feels on the outside.
"General Ma doesn't need to be nervous, tell me what you think about what happened in this siege, as well as your guesses about the current situation and how to deal with it!" The lazy man was not angry when he heard this, and asked General Ma what he thought.
This time, General Ma didn't dare not answer what he thought carefully, "For this siege, our preparations are quite sufficient, and the siege is also a surprise attack, but the other party seems to expect that we will attack the city at this time." ”
"When we went to attack the city, the other party's soldiers quickly set up a position to meet the enemy, there was no panic of a sudden attack, almost at the moment when our army attacked the city, they were fully equipped to meet the enemy, obviously they had long expected when our army would come to attack the city. ”
"Well, go on. "This lazy man has long been reported.
Seeing that the lazy man showed no signs of anger, and asked him to continue analyzing, General Ma finally let go of the apprehension in his heart just now, and began to say what he thought seriously, "Another thing is very strange is that after the last battle of Guangyan Pass, the Mo family army did not say that more than half of the dead and wounded, but it was almost the same, I guess how their wounded soldiers are about 15,000, and the rest can only meet the enemy more than 40,000 people." ”
"How can you say that such a large number of wounded soldiers, and the remaining more than 40,000 people are also tired and exhausted, it stands to reason that in such a situation, the morale of the Mo family army should be low. However, what our army saw in this siege was not like this, although the morale of the Mo family army was too good, it was definitely not low. What's even more strange is that their mental outlook doesn't look like they just passed through the battle of Guangyan Pass, they all look very energetic. ”
It can be seen that the newly appointed commander Zheng Shiyan's ability to lead the army is much more sophisticated than when he was in Guangyan Pass, and he can control the Mo family army under such circumstances. So we have to be careful with this man. What's more, listening to the news from the secret guards, the Mo wounded soldiers who were injured in the battle of Guangyan Pass somehow got better than usual, and almost half of the more than 10,000 wounded soldiers had recovered almost half, and the seriously injured soldiers only died less than a hundred. I think that if we continue like this, when these wounded soldiers are all better, our attack will be even more difficult. ”
"As for the subordinates' analysis of the current situation, guessing, the subordinates feel that although the town is not sure whether he has been beaten to death, we have affirmed that his current situation is definitely not optimistic, at least he has absolutely no way to rise up and lead the army to fight now. ”
"Lord Wang, you think, according to what we know about this town Beihou, if he can still get up and lead the army now, he will definitely not appear in the Mo family army camp and the border city gate, so the subordinates think that this town Beihou must be in a bad situation now, and it is only a matter of time when he will be poisoned and die. Therefore, now we don't need to worry about this Zhenbeihou at all, now that our subordinates have obeyed your orders, most of the news that Zhenbeihou was poisoned and died has been reported, and whether Zhenbeihou dies or not has no impact on our plan. ”
"Although Zheng Shiyan is powerful, he is not the boss after all, there is no Mo family army in Zhenbei Hou, the amount is that he Zheng Shiyan has the ability to reach the sky, this is under our rumors, and Zhenbei Hou has not appeared for a long time, I think the morale of the Mo family army will definitely drop greatly in a few days, and it will not be Zheng Shiyan who can control the Mo family army when the time comes. ”
General Ma finally showed a slightly smug look when he said this, and then said: "So, Lord Wang, we don't have to worry, my subordinates think that the Mo family's army did not collapse immediately today, but Zheng Shiyan and others were prepared to barely control the situation." Wait for a few more days, and then their boss Zhenbeihou will not appear again, and those Mo family troops will definitely completely believe that their boss Zhen Beihou has really died, and the Mo family army will definitely be defeated at that time. Therefore, Lord Wang, as long as we hold on, this city will definitely be in our pocket, and when the time comes, the entire Great Qi Dynasty will open the door to us. ”
After General Ma finished speaking, there was already a confident look on his face.
It can be said that according to General Ma's words, as long as the combined forces of the two countries insist on continuing to attack the border city, this side of the city will definitely be captured.
However, the lazy man did not show as much joy and excitement as General Ma imagined after hearing General Ma's words.
"General Ma, you can't be too confident in everything!" The lazy man's faint answer succeeded in making the confident General Ma completely retract the excitement just now.
"Yes, Lord Wang! his subordinates understand!" However, then General Ma, in order not to think that the lazy man thought that he was useless, so he thought about it and continued: "Even if this town Beihou really does not die, he can even rise up and lead the army, and he will be powerless to return to the sky at that time." Moreover, we also buried He Ping's chess piece in Yizhou City, if there is any accident on the side of the border city, then let He Ping and he defeat the three cities in Liangzhou, when the Mo Jiajun and others are attacked before and after, it is also appropriate for us to capture this pass. ”
Speaking of this, General Ma's face was absolutely full of confidence.
This time, the lazy man finally showed a trace of satisfaction when he heard this, and according to General Ma's analysis, they were indeed prepared enough this time, but somehow, he finally felt that something was wrong in his heart but couldn't say it.
As a result, the lazy man could only temporarily suppress the suspicion in his heart, "General Ma, you have a good analysis! Then do what you planned, strive to take this side of the city as soon as possible, and let He Ping's side be ready to cooperate with us at all times." ”
After speaking, the lazy man asked General Ma to go down and continue to carry out the rest of the matter.
............
Let's talk about Ziluo and them, Ziluo and them were very nervous on the day when the two countries' coalition forces attacked the city.
Moreover, as the number of wounded continued to increase, Ziluo and the others were even more worried about this war.
