Chapter 68: Borrowing Soldiers
Xiao Qiao said: "Master gave me a medicine book, I read it before and I don't remember where I put it, and I haven't found it for an afternoon!" ”
Qin Feng comforted: "Don't worry, don't worry, the medicine book must still be in the inner courtyard, you can always find it if you look for more!" ”
At this time, a maid's voice came from a room: "Miss, I found it, the medicine book was found!" ”
Xiao Qiao hurriedly ran over with her skirt, took the medicine book from the maid's hand and looked at it, it was the one Hua Tuo gave her, and she held it in her arms like a baby.
At this time, books were quite valuable, and many of them were unique books, and if they were damaged or lost, there was nowhere to buy them.
Qin Feng walked in and said with a smile: "Just find it!" Miss Qiao, recently learned medical skills from Hua Shen Doctor, have you gained anything? ”
"Naturally, there is, Master has taught me a lot!" Xiao Qiao nodded, and after speaking, he asked, "You don't need to train a sergeant today?" ”
Qin Feng said: "The envoy sent to see Liu Biao has returned, and he also brought Liu Biao's envoy 100,000 stones, grain and grass and a large number of ordnance!" ”
Xiao Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It seems that Zhang Xiu's surrender to Cao Cao has greatly stimulated Liu Biao, but you want to capture Nanyang as soon as possible, before you can form an alliance with Zhang Xiu, at this time Zhang Xiu has surrendered to Cao Cao, you are surrounded by Cao Cao on three sides, if you don't open up the passage to the west as soon as possible, when Cao Cao eases up, you must be the first to take you!" ”
Xiao Qiao's analysis and suggestions turned out to be exactly the same as Yang Hong's, which surprised Qin Feng, and her suggestions again and again showed her foresight in the overall situation.
If you want to fight Nanyang, there is an obstacle that must be removed, he said: "If you want to fight Nanyang, our army must first deal with Li Tong's 5,000 men, these 5,000 people are not easy to deal with!" ”
Xiao Qiao said: "This matter is easy, you can send a small group of men and horses disguised as Jingzhou army to operate in the border area, or you can attack Langling, Li Tong will definitely lead the army to attack, you will take advantage of the emptiness of Yang'an City to attack, Li Tong learned that Yang'an was attacked, and he will definitely return to help······"
Qin Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this, this plan was very good!
Moreover, this method can be carried out with or without the participation of the Jingzhou army, and the two thousand sets of armor sent by Liu Biao just came in handy!
However, the matter of borrowing troops from Liu Biao can't be given up either, Lao Tzu helped him block Cao Cao, he always has to have some strength, right?
When Qin Feng was playing Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, Xiao Qiao looked at him strangely and asked, "Didn't you say that a messenger came to Jingzhou?" Why don't you entertain people? ”
Qin Feng came back to his senses, patted his head and said, "I almost forgot, wait for me!" With that, he turned and walked out.
Xiao Qiao and the maid looked puzzled, and after a while, they saw Qin Feng coming in carrying a basket.
"What is this?" Little Joe asked.
Qin Feng put down the basket and said with a smile: "Didn't you learn medical skills, I asked someone to collect some medical medicine books and prescriptions, you can see if it is useful?" ”
As soon as Xiao Qiao heard that it was a medical book, a medicine book and a prescription, she hurriedly squatted down and picked up a roll of bamboo slips and opened it to see, she didn't dislike that there was dust on it, she looked at it and fell into a trance.
Qin Feng's business maid stepped aside and asked in a low voice, "Has Miss ever had dinner?" ”
"Miss has just returned home, and she hasn't eaten!"
"The cooks are cooking dinner, you go get some food for the young lady!"
"No!"
Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Feng lit the oil lamp on the table with flint and steel.
Xiao Qiao got up by himself and walked to the table with a bamboo slip to read, Qin Feng saw that it was not easy to disturb him, and retreated.
At the banquet to entertain the Yi nationality, under the arrangement of Yan Xiang, the singers and dancers took turns to play, and the wine and food were also very satisfactory to the Yi nationality.
The next day, in the morning.
Qin Feng sent someone to invite the Yi nationality to come to the palace to discuss the matter, and the Yi nationality was invited into the secret room.
"Mr. Yi, although Cao Cao has given me the title of official now, but my situation is actually in crisis, after Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao, I have fallen into the danger of being surrounded on three sides, if Cao Cao defeats Yuan Shao, he will inevitably move south, then it will be when I die, I can't sit still!"
Qin Feng's words made Yi Yuan's heart tremble, but he knew that what Qin Feng said was just an assumption, so he asked, "What if Yuan Benchu wins in the end?" ”
Qin Feng asked rhetorically: "Sir, won't Yuan Benchu go south after his victory?" Runan has become a land of four wars, no matter who wins or loses Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, I will be the next target of their attack! ”
Yi Ji knew that what Qin Feng said was right, and it might take a long time for them to move south, but people couldn't just think about the present, he asked, "What does the general mean?" ”
Qin Feng said: "I intend to attack Nanyang, at this time Zhang Xiucai surrendered to Cao Cao not long ago, Cao Cao's rule over Nanyang is not stable, if you can take this opportunity to capture Nanyang, this game of chess will be alive!" But there are not enough soldiers and horses under my command, if I can borrow 5,000 troops from Jingzhou······"
Yi Ji shook his head: "General, Liu Jingzhou will not agree to borrow troops, and the officials of Jingzhou will not agree to take the initiative to provoke Cao Cao at this time!" ”
Qin Feng said: "I want to ask Mr. to go back and tell Liu Jingzhou that I borrowed 5,000 troops, but I don't fight the banner of the Jingzhou army, and all matters related to the attack on Nanyang are decided by me, and have nothing to do with Jingzhou!" ”
"This ······" Yi thought about it, this method is not untrustworthy, if it can really help Qin Feng to take Nanyang, and Jingzhou has nothing to do with this matter, it will undoubtedly be beneficial to Jingzhou, and those Jingzhou heroes may not object.
Yi thought that this matter was feasible, but in the end, it was up to Liu Biao to decide.
After thinking about it for a while, he said to Qin Feng: "You can talk to Liu Jingzhou about this matter, and as for whether Liu Jingzhou will agree to borrow troops, it is not up to you to control it!" ”
Qin Feng picked up the wine cup and gestured to Yi Yuan, "In this way, I will thank Mr. in advance, please!" ”
Yi left Xincai and returned to Jingzhou after only one day.
The attack on Nanyang is not in a hurry, this matter must be planned well, and the opportunity must be seized, this is obviously not the time to do it, it is necessary to wait until the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao is carried out to a critical moment, so that Cao Cao really does not have extra troops to fight him, too early or too late will cause a catastrophe.
Early in the morning, Qin Feng was practicing martial arts in the martial arts arena, and a sergeant guarding the door came to report, saying that a messenger came from Xiyang.
Qin Feng put down his weapon and came to the front hall, and saw that a messenger was dressed in rags and tatters, not only did he have no armor, but his hair was scattered, so he frowned and said, "Why are you so embarrassed? What happened to Xiyang? ”
The messenger immediately cried loudly: "So that the lieutenant will know that more than a month ago, there was a majestic and fierce-looking black man with a hundred and ten horsemen arrived in the ancient city in the north to ask for grain and grass from the county order, the ancient city county order was not given, the black man expelled the official seal and took the official seal, and made the county order himself, this person recruited troops and horses in the ancient city, and recruited more than 2,000 soldiers in the month, and the county could not support so many soldiers and horses, so the black man led the troops to Wuxiyang and ordered the county to raise 2,000 stone of grain within ten days, if not to give, he would come to attack the city!" ”
"We don't believe it, how do we know that after ten days, this black guy really led troops to attack, and we defended strictly, but we didn't want this person to be thick and detailed, and clearly attacked the east gate, attracting all our defenders to the past, but in fact, they secretly attacked the north gate, and in just one day, Xiyang City was lost!"
