Shi Chaoyi, who was far away in Yecheng, seemed to have a moment of leisure, both away from his father and away from the war, but a sudden official letter completely shattered his peace. Now Li Siye is attacking Youzhou, but Shi Siming asked him to arrive in Jizhou with 40,000 soldiers, doesn't this let him share Li Siye's attack?

Shi Chaoyi had a hundred reluctances in his heart, he had no talent in commanding operations, and Shi Siming sent Tian Chengsi to him in order to replace him in command.

Tian Chengsi looked at Shi Chaoyi's gloomy face, and probably guessed what was going on, stepped forward and said, "Congratulations to Gongzi, congratulations to Gongzi." ”

Shi Chaoyi asked angrily, "What is there to congratulate on this?" ”

The hot face and cold ass could not embarrass Tian Chengsi at all, he tied his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile: "Your father asked you to bring troops over, so that you can save their lives, you have more than a dozen brothers, and he can crown you as the crown prince alone, which means that he still values you." Recently, Li Siye attacked Youzhou, and his favored younger sons could only follow him and be afraid, but as the eldest son, you were able to save him at a critical moment. ”

Shi Chaoyi already had activities in his heart, but he still said unceremoniously: "Pull it down, you martial artists are very cold-hearted, and you may not be able to get anything in return." ”

Tian Chengsi smiled: "No matter how hard-hearted he is, he should know who is the qualified heir and can be in charge alone?" Or will you only be held in your mother's arms to breastfeed? What could be more credible than to be called upon to help him in a crisis? ”

Shi Chaoyi stroked his beard and touched what Tian Chengsi said, and suddenly walked over and held Tian Chengsi's hand and said: "I just ran into Tian Gong because I was depressed in my heart, I really can't help it, I hope the general can help me this time, regardless of the past suspicions." ”

"What are you talking about, I, Tian Chenghei, have been with Childe for so long, don't you still believe in my character? I don't dare to say anything else, if you leave the war to me, I will definitely be able to live up to Your Majesty's expectations. ”

Shi Chaoyi immediately turned his worries into joy, and his attitude towards Tian Chengsi gradually became respectful, calling him Tian Shi, but Tian Chengsi was enough for Shi Chaoyi to learn for a lifetime, whether in terms of dealing with people or scheming.

They immediately withdrew from Yecheng with their troops and went to Jizhou City to take over the defense, but the Tang army on the other side of the distant river did not notice their movements. But this kind of thing will not be hidden for long, and the news will soon reach the other side.

Guo Ziyi's third son, Guo Xi, was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said to his father: "Shi Chaoyi withdrew his troops from Yecheng, and it must be because the war in Youzhou is tight, and he needs to shrink his forces. It is better for us to immediately march across the Yellow River and take the opportunity to take Yecheng as a bridgehead for attacking Youyan. ”

Lao Linggong stroked his beard and said: "This is also what my father is considering, I am afraid that now Shi Siming is also hoping that we will lead troops to the other side, and now the battle between him and Li Siye is at a critical juncture, and it is difficult to predict the changes brought by the past now, it is better to wait and choose a suitable time to enter the north bank of the Yellow River, maybe we will kill two birds with one stone." ”

"Of course, it is not enough to just wait and see at the moment, we must send a few capable men to lead the patrol team to cross the Yellow River, and get the news of Hebei as soon as possible so as not to delay the fighter plane."

Guo Xi understood his father's words, nodded and said, "Son, I'll arrange it." ”

……

At this time, under the city of Youzhou, Li Siye's army besieged but did not attack, so he naturally waited for reinforcements from the Yan army to encircle the point. But after the army led by Shi Chaoyi arrived at the border of Jizhou, he directly entered Jizhou City to hold on, always keeping an eye on the movements of Youzhou, and he didn't know what his father wanted him to do in the next moment.

Tian Chengsi knew very clearly, but there were some things that he didn't want to give Shi Chaoyi a thorough idea, and he was still counting on using these things to influence Shi Chaoyi.

Li Siye heard the scout's report, pinched his beard and nodded, and said: "Shi Siming is really experienced and sent his son to garrison Jizhou, this is to distract me and let me divide my troops to defend him, so if I want to capture Youzhou, I will waste more time." If he divides his troops to attack Jizhou at this moment, Shi Siming will definitely send troops to harass him. If I attack Youzhou with all my might, there will be no peace behind me, so what can you do? ”

All the staff fell silent for a while, and Xu Bin, the prime minister who went out with the army, stepped forward and said: "The lord is nothing more than trying to lure one of his father and son out of the city to rescue, but Shi Siming is treacherous and cunning, and he will not be easily fooled, so naturally he can't be deceived, but Shi Chaoyi ......."

Li Siye shook his head and said, "I know what you mean, but Shi Chaoyi has someone like Tian Chengsi by his side, I'm afraid it's hard to be fooled." ”

"Don't forget, there is a difference in identity between Shi Chaoyi and Tian Chenghei, Shi Chaoyi is the lord, Tian Chengsi is the minister, the minister can only give advice to the lord, but it is the lord who makes the decision, and sometimes the minister may not be able to change the lord's decision. I think it may be a good idea for the lord to take advantage of this and lure Shi Chaoyi to lead troops to save Youzhou. ”

Li Siye asked again: "So how to make Shi Chaoyi fooled?" ”

Duan Xiushi crossed his hand next to him and said, "Lord, it's better to send someone to release the news from all sides, just say that Youzhou City is about to be broken by our army." ”

"No, such a low-level strategy is difficult to deceive Tian Chengsi, Shi Chaoyi is not a fool, as long as Tian Chengsi points a little beside him, he can still distinguish it."

Xu Bin said: "The minister heard that Shi Siming Shi Chaoyi's father and son were not in harmony, Siming loved a favorite concubine, and wanted to pass on the prince's position to the son of the favorite concubine, which once caused Shi Chaoyi to panic. It is better to release rumors from all sides that Shi Siming wants to defend the city to the death and fight to the death with our army. has entrusted the orphaned young sons Shi Chaoqing and Li Huaixian to lead half of the soldiers and horses to withdraw from Yuguan and go to Yingzhou. ”

Li Siye clapped his hands and praised: "This plan is very good, not only can it make Shi Chaoyi panic, but even Tian Chengsi has brought it with him, and now among the rebel generals under Shi Siming, Li Huaixian, Zhang Zhongzhi, Tian Chengsi and other three people are highly valued, and these three people are secretly competing with each other." If Shi Siming really entrusted Li Huaixian, it would make Tian Chenghe, who is currently following Shi Chaoyi, in an embarrassing situation. Naturally, they will not allow Shi Siming to be buried in Youzhou, and they will definitely lead troops to the rescue, and when the time comes, we can take the opportunity to order Zhang Guangtao to lead the army from Jinzhong to Jizhou from Feiniao, and take the lead in occupying Jizhou City. At that time, even if Tian Chengsi found out that he had been deceived, he would have no power to return to the sky, and there were only two roads left for him, one was to break into Youzhou and be eliminated by me, and the other was to retreat to Yingzhou after Yuguan. ”

Everyone crossed their hands and said, "The lord is wise." ”

Li Siye pretended not to hear the compliment, and said: "Everyone has heard it, just follow Xu Gong's plan and strive to pull out the nail of Tian Chengsi and Shi Chaoyi within thirty days." ”

After Li Siye passed the order, his subordinates began to walk around Youzhou and Jizhou, and the scouts of the Yan army quickly reported the news to Shi Chaoyi, who was guarding the city of Jizhou.
