The siege battle that Li Chong started again was ultimately fruitless.

Di Renjie relied on the natural danger of Jingzhou City, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and once again successfully blocked Li Chong's attack, of course, both sides had casualties, and the casualties on Di Renjie's side were heavier than those on Li Chong's rebel side, but Di Renjie was inconspicuous, making it difficult for Li Chong to guess the specific number of defenders in Jingzhou City.

Night is approaching.

As it got dark, the offensive and defensive battle between the two armies came to an end temporarily, and what Li Chong didn't know was that just when he was fighting with Di Renjie in full swing, Li Yao was taking advantage of the darkening night to quietly descend the mountain road with 50,000 troops from under the southern hill, and successfully lurked quietly behind a shallow slope one mile behind Li Chong's army camp.

Although it is more than a mile away from Li Chong's military camp, on the shallow slope here, as long as you look up slightly, you can see the fire flickering a mile away.

Li Yao was lying on the shallow slope, looking at the fire in front of him, and couldn't help muttering softly: "What a Li Chong, the battalion is so huge, I'm afraid that others won't know that he is attacking Jingzhou." ”

"Brother, what should we do now?" Cheng Boxian asked lightly as he leaned beside Li Yao.

"Rouge, your brain is spinning fast, what do you think now?" Li Yao asked about Rouge lying on his stomach in his arms.

The two were lying together in such an extremely intimate posture at this time, which made Cheng Boxian, who was lying next to him, a little embarrassed, but when he thought about the relationship between Li Yao and Rouge, Cheng Boxian was also relieved.

Rouge tilted her head and thought for a while, and then she whispered to the two of them: "If Li Chong wants to support such a large number of troops, he must have sufficient reserves of grain and grass in his barracks. ”

"Well, that's a good idea. Li Yao agreed.

"It's better for us to assassinate Li Chong's lieutenant general, so that we may be able to dampen the morale of his army. Cheng Boxian muttered on the side.

When he said this, Li Yao and Rouge both looked at him in unison.

The two never imagined that Cheng Boxian was even more ruthless than them, and he actually thought of the trick of assassinating the general, but it was probably not an easy thing to sneak into the military camp to assassinate Li Chong's generals.

And Li Yao knows that Li Chong's current number one general is Xue Shao's elder brother Xue Yi, not to mention how high Xue Yi's martial arts are, but with the fact that he can lead soldiers to capture Qin Jing, he should think that his strength should not be below Qin Jing, and may even be above Qin Jing.

Thinking of this, Li Yao couldn't help but shake his head and said: "It is estimated that he can't kill Li Chong's generals, then Xue Yi's martial arts are very high, I'm afraid it's not easy to kill him." ”

"Brother, don't worry, I know his weakness, when Xue Yi was in Chang'an City before, he wasn't beaten by his wife every time he cried and called his mother, I really don't believe it, I haven't seen him for a few years, where can he go through. Cheng Boxian suddenly came to such a sentence.

"Are you really?" asked Li Yao in surprise.

Cheng Boxian nodded noncommittally, and said: "The reason why Qin Jing lost to him may be that he was provoked by him and fell into his scheme, otherwise with Qin Jing's strength, he would not lose to him, how many catties and taels does he have, Lao Tzu is still unclear?"

"That's okay, as long as you can assassinate Xue Yi, I'll give you a credit. Li Yao stretched out his hand and patted Cheng Boxian's shoulder and shouted happily.

When Cheng Boxian heard that he wanted to remember the merits, he was still not happy, so he nodded happily.

The three of them lay on the shallow slope and talked for a while, until a mile in front of them, after the sound of a resting horn came from Li Chong's military camp, Li Yao said to the two: "Okay, now the three of us have discussed the attack plan for tonight." ”

"Well, these plans are based on the success of the night submarine enemy camp. Rouge added.

"Yes, if the night sneaking enemy camp is not successful, then we will all wait for death!" Li Yao spread his hands and smiled helplessly.

Cheng Boxian was about to speak, when Cao Yun suddenly sneaked up and said to Li Yao: "General, if you want us to dig the old tree roots when we go down the mountain, I have already asked people to collect them all, grind them, divide them into several bags, and divide them into several big bags!"

"Okay, you take my medicine, pour more into each bag, mix evenly, remember, don't touch it after it's even, otherwise your hands will be swollen and rotten." Li Yao reached into his sleeve and took out a large bottle of medicinal powder and stuffed it for Cao Yun, and reminded Cao Yun at the same time.

Cao Yun nodded hurriedly, took the medicine bottle and ran down.

After he left, Cheng Boxian asked, "Brother, I don't understand, what kind of medicinal powder and old tree root ground powder of yours are really so harmful?"

"Nonsense, when I used to rectify those rich men in Chang'an City, I used this trick, this is called the old tree root mixed with the medicine, the more you touch the skin, the more it falls, it comes from the earth, the hands and feet will be red and swollen and ulcerated when people touch it, and the horse will be strained after eating, and it will lose its effect on the battlefield. Li Yao opened his mouth to explain to Cheng Boxian.

"Your Excellency, you have a lot of ideas. Rouge smiled and praised Li Yao.

Li Yao was also happy and laughed.

After being happy for a while, Li Yao quieted down and said to the two: "You have all listened to the three things that our night submarine enemy camp is going to do today.

First, Rouge led a team of people, without startling the grass and snakes, sprinkled the rotten powder in every military account of Li Chong's camp, and sprinkled some in the manger for the horses to eat, and after doing this, he immediately retreated.

Second, brother, you take a team of people to infiltrate the enemy camp, find Qin Jing first and rescue him, and then kill the generals under Li Chong, just kill them, if you can't kill them, don't alarm the enemy army.

Third, I took a team of people to find Li Chong's grain and grass camp, after you all successfully retreated, a fire burned his grain and grass camp, and when the fire was together, the soldiers in the camp were in chaos, running around, and the bad powder was absolutely spreading in the barracks, and the next day, let Li Chong's 200,000 troops, all of them swollen and rotten, and they couldn't fight if they wanted to. ”

"Ordered. Cheng Boxian and Rouge drank in unison.

"Okay, each of you will go down and pick someone, remember, the number of people should not exceed twenty at most, otherwise there will be chaos if there are too many people. Li Yao opened his mouth again to remind the two.

The two nodded noncommittally and immediately went to pick someone.

An hour later, the three of them all picked their own hands, the twenty or so people on Rouge's side, each carrying a bag of rotten powder on their backs, ready to go, Li Yao's twenty or so people, all of them were holding fire cores in their hands, ready to be filled, and as for the twenty or so people on Cheng Boxian's side, they all held a bright steel knife in their hands.

The three teams waited for Li Yao's order, and then divided into three different directions and sneaked towards Li Chong's camp.

But Li Yao was not in a hurry, looked up at the sky, and now when he was still just here, Li Yao said to the three teams of people: "Don't worry, let's dive over again, so that the success rate will be higher, and when it is late at night, it is the time when people are the most drowsy, and we will dive over when it is almost ugly, and then they can't stand it, and we just start." ”

"Yes, General. "A lot of low should be.

Li Yao was silent, waiting for time to pass slowly.

And just as Li Yao was preparing three teams of men and horses to sneak into the enemy camp at night.

In Li Chong's camp, Xia Ling took a few days to get around Li Chong's camp than the north, and as soon as he entered the camp, Li Chong greeted him warmly with all the generals.

After welcoming Xia Ling into the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Chong instructed the soldiers to come up with good wine and meat to entertain Xia Ling, and after drinking for thirty years, after being full of wine and food, Li Chong said to Xia Ling: "In my army, I am now sending a smart military advisor like you, and you are here by yourself, which makes this king very happy!"

"Lord Wang, in fact, I came here this time because I have two things to say to the prince. Xia Ling replied respectfully with his fists clenched.

"Which two?" asked Li Chong.

Xia Ling stood up, looked up and looked around, looked at everyone sitting in the big tent, and finally fixed his gaze on Dong Cheng who was sitting on the side of the corner.

Dong Cheng saw him staring at him, he was still a little dumbfounded and at a loss.

Xia Ling smiled slightly, turned his head, and said to Li Chong: "Lord Wang, first, I suggest that you give up attacking Jingzhou, and make a detour south to Yangzhou, and choose Yangzhou as the capital to establish power, there is no need to fight to Chang'an City again." ”

"Why?" Li Chong asked, puzzled.

"When Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty dug a canal in Yangzhou, if the prince established power with Yangzhou as the capital, not only can he rely on this convenient transportation, expand armaments, recruit troops and buy horses, but also can be used for grain transportation to ensure that the military food is sufficient, and if defeated, he can also retreat smoothly, and build the capital in Yangzhou, which has a hundred benefits and no harm. Xia Ling said this, he paused.

Looking at the faces of the generals, he said again: "Although Yangzhou is thousands of miles away from Luoyang, but the two are located in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty, if the prince builds the capital in Yangzhou, he will be able to contain her Wu Meiniang, so that she can sleep unsteadily all the time, and then it will not be the prince who takes the initiative to fight her, but she takes the initiative to fight the prince You, so that the prince will occupy the initiative, and can fight with her at any time. ”

"This is right, then it seems that this Jingzhou, this king can no longer attack. When Li Chong heard Xia Ling say this, he reached out and touched his chin and muttered in a low voice.

"And the prince, you are the orthodox Li Tang royal family, presumably you are the only one who is called Wang Jiandu, many princes and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, as well as heavy generals with soldiers and horses, are willing to submit to the prince, so isn't it a matter of time for Wu Meiniang to be finished?" Xia Ling said this to Li Chong again in order to make Li Chong feel at ease.

Li Chong immediately became excited, feeling that what Xia Ling said was not wrong at all, and he should follow Xia Ling's advice and lead the army south to Yangzhou.
