Chapter Seventy-Six: The Stretcher
"Gao Jianjun, you and Cai Jing are friends, if you don't sneak into Pingcheng, I'm afraid that Cai Jing won't trust others!"
In order to dispel Gao Xian's concerns, Yuan Wanshan continued to feel relieved: "You can rest assured, all the soldiers of Xingyun Division are elites in the army, and they will definitely be able to keep you safe!" ”
"Since General Yuan has said everything to this point, if I retreat again, won't I become a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"
After a battle between heaven and man, Gao Xian had no choice but to give up his hand and say, "Tonight...... I accompanied Xing Yunji to infiltrate Pingcheng and rescue Cai Jing! ”
"Hahaha, Cai Jianjun understands the righteousness, and he will admire it very much!"
After the matter was agreed.
Yuan Wanshan immediately summoned Wei Ming, the captain of the Xingyun Division.
After some planning, Wei Ming decided to disguise himself as a cloth merchant and infiltrate Pingcheng through the weakly guarded south gate.
……
The night is like water, and the stars are like the sea.
In a mansion on Universiade Street in Pingcheng.
"Shhh...... It hurts Lao Tzu to death......"
Cai Jing was lying on a wooden couch, and the pain in his back made him moan from time to time.
The forty rods of the day almost broke his muscles and bones.
Although his mouth was very hard at the time of his torture.
But then came a heart-rending pain.
If it weren't for Gao Xian's special order to send a few packets of bruising medicine, then he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to moan now.
"Brother Cai, you have suffered!"
That's when it happened.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the room.
"Who called me from outside the room?"
Hold back the pain.
Cai Jing was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly turned his head to look out of the room
It didn't take long.
A familiar face appeared in front of his eyes.
"Brother Cai, my brother has been worried about your safety, so I came to visit tonight!"
"Brother Gao, now that Pingcheng is well defended, you ...... How did you get into town? ”
Cai Jing stared at Gao Xian in front of him and asked with a shocked expression.
Gao Xian's righteousness was awe-inspiring: "Although the defense of Pingcheng is strict, but my brother saw that you were beaten so badly today, even if Pingcheng is a tiger's den in Longtan, my brother is willing to break through for you!" ”
"Thank you for your concern."
Cai Jing was greatly moved, his eyes were red and said: "It's a pity that I have no eyes and no beads and mistakenly cast into the unconscious master, and I am self-inflicted to have such an end today." ”
Gao Xian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Brother Cai, do you think Li Xingchen's men and horses are superior or inferior compared to the Lingzhou army?" ”
Cai Jing pondered for a moment before he said slowly: "Where is this still worth comparing, the faint master Li Xingchen is only 3,000 new soldiers, but the Lingzhou army has 8,000 elite soldiers, and its main general Yuan Wanshan is a veteran of the battlefield!" ”
Gao Xian nodded and continued to ask: "The analysis is good, then do you think Li Xingchen can stop the eight thousand elite soldiers of the Lingzhou Army with only three thousand new soldiers?" ”
Cai Jing said categorically: "Li Xingchen will definitely be defeated!" ”
"Since Brother Cai believes that Li Xingchen will be defeated, why should he die for this faint master?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was similar, Gao Xian said directly: "As the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, right now, eight thousand Lingzhou soldiers are in Pingcheng, Li Xingchen is tyrannical and cruel, and in the end there is only defeat, if Brother Cai is willing to surrender to General Yuan, he can be recommended for you!" ”
Cai Jingdao: "Don't hide it from Brother Gao, I have long wanted to throw myself to General Yuan!" ”
When Gao Xian heard this, he laughed and said: "Hahaha, Brother Cai is really a person who understands current affairs, if you can kill Li Xingchen, you will definitely get the first credit!" ”
"Is that true?"
Cai Jing was overjoyed, as if he had forgotten that he was seriously injured, and sat up from the wooden couch.
"Hiss......"
He suddenly bared his teeth in pain, and couldn't help but gasp.
Gao Xian stepped forward to help Cai Jing lie down, and said with relief: "Brother Cai, don't be anxious!" ”
Cai Jing said with a gloomy face: "Senior brother, I am seriously injured so much, even if I have a strategy to break Li Xingchen in my heart, I am afraid that I will not be able to go out of the city to serve General Yuan!" ”
Gao Xian hurriedly asked, "Brother Cai really has a strategy to break Li Xingchen?" ”
"That's right, in order to repay Brother Gao's righteous deeds, I am willing to give you this strategy!"
Cai Jing took a deep breath and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Li Xingchen's lifeblood is in the Shuofang Valley outside Pingcheng, where a full 100,000 stones of grain and grass have been placed!" ”
"What? 100,000 stone grain and grass? ”
Gao Xian was full of surprise.
Cai Jing continued: "If General Yuan leads eight thousand elites to Shuofang Valley to seize grain and grass, then Li Xingchen will be defeated without a fight!" ”
Gao Xian sneered: "Hehe, this Li Xingchen is really dead, he dares to put the grain and grass outside the city!" ”
"Today, it is precisely to advise Li Xingchen about this matter that I have been wronged with forty military staffs; As long as General Yuan seizes the opportunity and sneaks into Shuofang Valley when Li Xingchen's defense is not stable, he will definitely be able to fight a complete battle! ”
After saying this, Cai Jing's face showed a hint of revenge.
"What Brother Cai said is extremely true!"
Gao Xianshen nodded approvingly.
For combat soldiers.
Grain and grass are the lifeblood, so when marching and fighting, they often have to send a team of soldiers and horses to guard the grain road.
Because once it falls into the crisis of food shortage.
No matter how powerful this army is, it can only struggle in a desperate situation.
After all, people are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry.
If there is no food to eat, then the soldiers naturally do not have the morale and strength to continue fighting.
Although Gao Xian is a civil official, he still knows these truths.
So after listening to Cai Jing's words, he was already ecstatic in his heart.
"Thank you, Brother Cai, with this plan to cut off food, Li Xingchen's Pingcheng Army can be broken!"
"It's a pity...... It's a pity that I can't personally kill Li Xingchen! ”
"Brother Cai, there is a brother in everything, as long as you are willing to serve General Yuan, the matter of saving you from the city will be handed over to Brother Wei!"
"Brother Gao can really save me from the city?"
Cai Jing's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Gao Xian with an eager expression.
"This time, there are also a hundred sharp soldiers of the Xingyun Division who infiltrated Pingcheng with me, these sharp soldiers are all strong in martial arts, and it is easy to rescue you from the city!"
After speaking, Gao Xian clapped his hands.
Immediately outside the door, several tall men walked in.
Two of them were also carrying a stretcher.
"Gao Jian Jun, the brothers are all ready, and they can save Master Cai from the city at any time!"
The first big man walked up to Gao Xian and said.
Gao Xian asked, "Have you packed all the valuables in the Cai Mansion?" ”
Dahan replied: "Please rest assured that all the valuable items have been packed by the brothers!" ”
When Cai Jing heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Apparently slightly dissatisfied with the banditry of these people.
But fortunately, his parents died early, and he was a bachelor, so even if he escaped from Pingcheng, there would be no burden.
"Very good, it's the dead of night, and it's time to go out of the city from the south gate!"
Saying that, Gao Xian looked at Cai Jing: "Brother Cai, tonight for my brother will save you from the sea of suffering." ”
"There's Brother Lao!"
Several men immediately stepped forward.
Carefully carried Cai Jing onto the stretcher.
