Chapter 449: Nangong Ji
"Your Majesty, without food and grass, we will definitely lose, this is our only way to survive."
"Yes, Your Majesty, you still have your family in the palace, and you have heard about the fate of King Ming and King Ao's family before, only in this way can we survive."
Weichen seconded.
Weichen seconded.
……
King Qi roared loudly: "King Li killed my youngest son, he and I have a common hatred, do you want me to give up revenge!" ”
"Your Majesty, but is it worth it to involve all your family members in order to take revenge? You also know in your heart that without food, we will surely lose. ”
King Qi said: "If I don't put the drawbridge, they won't be able to enter the city!" ”
"Your Majesty, there are still many high-ranking families in the city, they can open them. Also, have you forgotten the sound that came from the sky that night? Since they can go to the sky, they can definitely land in the city, and they can also come in when the time comes. ”
King Qi clenched his fists, and was about to say something, when he suddenly swallowed his original words and said, "I think what you said is also right, if you go on like this, there is only one way to die, it is better to find a way to fight." ”
"Your Majesty, do you have any other way?"
"Of course, I want to invite you into the urn, and when the time comes, close the door and beat the dogs, and the Liwang army is not at my disposal?"
As long as he opens the gate and lets King Liwang and them in, he will set up an ambush and come a few more times, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to kill King Li's people?
One person opened his mouth, this is not to close the door and beat the dog, but to lure the wolf into the room.
And if you open the door, people will come in?
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that as long as King Li doesn't let the grain in and drains the water inside the city, then they will fail sooner or later.
It was a war that was sure to be won for King Li, how could he possibly let his soldiers take risks?
However, the people present did not say anything, if the city gate was really opened, it would be convenient for the people in the city to escape, and then they and their families could also take advantage of the chaos to escape.
It's just that King Qi is not such a stupid person, how could he suddenly think of such a stupid method?
The people in the hall glanced at King Qi and saw that there was a trace of stupidity on his face, and they knew it in their hearts.
I guess the spirit was stimulated.
King Qi felt that he had thought of an excellent way, and after the dynasty was dispersed, he asked people to prepare.
An hour later
After listening to the report, King Li said, "Does this King of Qi want to surrender?" ”
The soldier said: "No, after the city gate was opened and the drawbridge was lowered, the last general observed for a while, and did not hang the flag of surrender, and no army came, but there were people blocking the gate and trying to get out of the city, but the people guarding the gate were not allowed." ”
King Li thought for a while, frowned, and said, "Could it be that they want to invite you into the urn?" ”
Dugu Huanxu said: "It must be so." ”
King Li said again: "He doesn't know that we can not go in and consume him directly?" He has 200,000 troops, and I have millions here, so I don't have to think about it to know that he is no match for me. ”
Dugu Huanxu said: "It is estimated that he is in a hurry now, and he has come up with a bad idea." ”
"That's right." King Li pondered for a moment and said, "Tell me to go down and be ready for war at all times." Also, let the explosives team be ready, as long as the soldiers come out of the city gate, without lowering the flag, and in groups, all of them will be directly finished with explosives. ”
"Also, let the archers be ready to shoot arrows at once if anyone scatters and rushes over."
"If any people escape, they will all be arrested first, and then dealt with after the investigation is clear."
"If a soldier escapes disguised as a civilian, he will be arrested for the time being."
"Yes!"
Dugu Huanxu asked: "Father, do you mean to continue to consume them?" ”
King Li nodded: "That's right, it's time to continue, if you continue to consume King Qi, his army will be hungry and unbearable, so let's wait." Originally, for the sake of this king, many soldiers have died on the battlefield, and this king no longer wants any soldiers to die, and they have managed to survive until now. ”
"Yes."
And at this time, Nangong Mansion.
Nangong Ji, the head of the Nangong family, summoned everyone in the family, and said: "I received the news just now that the King of Qi has opened the city gate, but he has not hung out the flag of surrender, it is estimated that he wants to invite the king into the urn." Liwang is very smart, and it is estimated that he will not take the initiative to attack and injure the lives of his soldiers. ”
"King Qi will take the risk to open the city gate, and it is estimated that he will only return to the light, dying and struggling, and his time is coming."
Nangong Jun said: "Father, the situation has changed, so what do you mean?" ”
Nangong Ji said: "How long can we eat our grain?" ”
"There's a lot of food, if we don't go out, we can wait until His Royal Highness King Li comes in."
Nangong Ji said: "Okay, then we will also accompany His Royal Highness King Li, if the situation is not right, we will hide in the second dark room." ”
"Yes!"
"However, His Royal Highness King Liwang is destined to return, and we should also show a little sincerity."
"Father, what do you mean?"
"You send someone to find out what water sources the king's army mainly uses......
"Yes."
……
Following
King Liwang also consulted with the people about the issue of grain and grass.
King Li said: "Although our grain and grass are still very sufficient, but we have surrounded the capital, not only will the army of King Qi run out of food after that, but the people in the city will also have no food after that, so even if we enter, the city will not be stable." ”
The people present also felt that he was right, and their faces became serious at the same time.
If the people in the city have no food, King Li will definitely let the army distribute the food at that time.
Then the army will run out of food.
Dugu Huanxu said: "So, we have to collect grain and grass now to prepare for the capital." ”
General Chai worried: "But there are also a lot of people in the city, although there are not as many people as the army, but it is also a difficult task to prepare food for so many people. ”
Xiao Ruiyan said: "That's right, although the prince controls other fiefdoms, but now the bandits are very rampant, and the grain transportation team is not all smooth sailing, ten food transportation teams, five teams have been attacked by bandits, and it is indeed not easy to transport grain smoothly in a short time." ”
They have already exhausted themselves to ensure the continuous supply of military rations.
General He also came over today and said: "That's right, the capital and other places around it are the sphere of influence of the previous King of Qi, he has already collected grain and grass among the people several times, and the people are already miserable, and most of the people, even if we take money to buy it from them, they are unwilling." In the past, the king of Qi forcibly requisitioned their grain and grass, and those people were as frightened as mice saw cats when they saw soldiers passing. ”
Xiao Ruiyan said: "It means that if you want to transport grain and grass over, then you have to transport it from a place that King Qi had not invaded before, that is, from the south, and you must also successfully avoid a large number of bandits." ”
