Chapter 169: Tactical Deception
"There's a big fish coming sooner or later, and to be honest, I don't even want to let her go." Si Qianhan sighed.
"Big fish?" Li Feiqiu raised his eyebrows.
"The woman who came in with you last night released the crystal soul when she passed by the warehouse, I can sense that the strength is about the same as mine, if I guess correctly, this person should be Shen Xu, the commander of the Qizhou army. The Crystal Soul Skill is a Void Seal...... If I can keep her last night, ......tsk," Si Qianhan smacked his tongue, "Maybe I don't have to beat Qizhou to get the avatar of the banknote." ”
"Kidney deficiency? Isn't her name Shen Ying? Li Feiqiu was puzzled, "And why did her parents give such a name?" ”
"It's Shen, Shen, it should have royal blood, or is it a surname? As for Shen Ying...... It's a fake name, be a scout, who will tell you your real name. Si Qianhan guessed.
"Then why don't you do it, if we do, what other strategies do we think of, without such a general, Qizhou will not surrender directly?" Li Fei asked.
"You're next to her, if you do it, you'll be finished, the Tai Void Seal has no other effect, it's just a simple destructive crystal soul technique, don't talk about you, even I can't take a move, if you don't have this thing, Your Highness will kill me." Si Qianhan snorted, "Although I was very excited, I still didn't do it." ”
"It turns out that I'm so charming, you just said that you were worried about me, why did you take His Highness out to say something?" Li Feiqiu laughed.
"If you have nothing to do, go and clean up the granary, and pick up the grain out of the dirt one by one." Si Qianhan said, puffing out his cheeks and going to the camp.
"I'll go, I'm afraid of you?"
……
Came to the granary, the soldiers in charge of acting last night were picking up food bitterly, because this matter had to be done by trusted people, and the news could not be allowed to leak, so these soldiers who had to accompany the acting in the middle of the night had just rested for a long time, and they were forced to come and separate the food and soil.
"I already knew how to put a bag on the grain." Li Feiqiu sighed. Because things were sudden, the things in this granary were made in an afternoon, and many things were not expected, so there were a lot of mistakes, but fortunately, the night was dark last night, and the time was short, so Shen Xu did not find the clues.
After a whole day of sorting rice grains, these people finally barely completed the task, and then there was nothing for them, they just had to leave the front line, return to the rear to rest, and be responsible for logistics and transfer, which was regarded as a reward for these two days of hard work.
"Yawn, you've worked hard, and you can rest well after you get to the rear." Li Feiqiu and a group of people dragged their tired bodies out of the camp and walked onto the avenue, heading towards the county seat in the rear.
"Master Li, we just did a little thing, in fact, there is no need to withdraw us."
"It doesn't matter, there are not so many people on the front line, and there are also tasks for the transfer of food wounded on the logistics side, which is no less than the front line." Li Feiqiu yawned again, "Okay, I won't send it anymore, and I haven't found a carriage or ox cart for you, it's hard for you to walk a few steps, the nearest county seat is more than 20 miles away from here, and you can get there before the meal." ”
"Okay, Master Li, you can go back and rest too, and dozens of our brothers will walk slowly."
When Li Feiqiu was separated from these dozens of people, someone was quietly watching them in the distance.
"Hmm...... The steps are weak and weak, and his expression is tired, he looks very tired, is Jiuping so short of people......" Shen Xuan was lying in the grass and observing a few people.
"Sister, yawn...... We've been squatting here for a day and a night, so we're not going to sleep in the field tonight, are we? Shen Yan said, "The mosquitoes in this place are very fierce, and I have several extra bags on me." ”
"It's okay, let's go back, now I'll wait for news from the bandits." Shen Xuan said, taking advantage of no one's attention, and left here with Shen Yan.
……
"My lord, this is the bandit we caught." Back in Qizhou Mansion, his subordinates have already arrested people.
"I asked, you answered, I don't want to listen to nonsense, understand?" Shen Xuan asked the bandits kneeling in a row.
"Spare your life, spare your life!" The bandit in the lead shouted, and the remaining dozen or so bandits also shouted.
"I said, I don't want to listen to nonsense now, a group of bandits and bandits, it's not too much to kill you, give you a chance to live, where are you talking so much?" As soon as Shen Xu's hand was raised, the brush on the table flew out, piercing the head of the thief who shouted the loudest, the thief's mouth was wide open, and the words begging for mercy were swallowed back in the middle of speaking, "Ask again, I will ask you to answer, I don't want to listen to nonsense, understand?" ”
"Got it, got it." The rest of the bandits immediately stopped crying and said in a loud voice.
Shen Xuan picked up another brush and slowly put it down, "Forget it, don't kill it first, besides, just answer once, this is a warning." ”
"Understood!"
"First question, how did you rob the grain?"
"My lord, we didn't know it was your food, we ......" the thief quickly explained, but Shen Xu's second brush was thrown out, and another thief fell.
"I did, and only answered my questions. How did you rob the grain? Shen Xuan asked indifferently.
"That is, we saw that there were officers and soldiers walking on the official road with grain trucks every day, and because of the war, no one passed by here, and we had no food to eat, so the boss said that he would go to rob the grain, and it happened that they passed by us that day, and there were not many of us guarding the guards, so we went to rob the grain."
"Every day?" Shen Xuan asked.
"Yes, every day, the number of escorts is also varied, sometimes more and sometimes less."
"How much grain is there?"
"It's not much, our hundreds of people, only get more than 20 days."
"On average, it's enough for 2,000 people to eat for a day? That's all they can do? Shen Xuan was a little unsure of Jiuping's tactical arrangements.
"My lord, there should be more than one group of grain teams transporting grain, and besides, when we were searching for bandits, we found that many grain teams were heading east." At this time, someone stood up to relieve these bandits.
"Hmm...... It's weird, what is Jiuping doing? "Although all circumstances have proved that Jiuping's positive strength is indeed very weak, Shen Xuan just has a strange feeling, she always feels that things are mysterious.
"My lord, could it be that Jiuping lost too much, so in the final siege of the city, Jiuping only had a leading role, and the main direction of attack was Tanglin, and they were actually transporting grain and grass to Tanglin?" Just then, a strategist stepped forward and spoke.
"It is very likely, according to what the adults said, Jiuping attacked here from Ji County, in order to pursue speed, he didn't care about casualties at all, just to contain us and make the progress in the direction of Tanglin faster, at this time Jiuping was already at the end of the crossbow, and could only wait for the attack in the direction of Tanglin, which is why they would divide their troops to help Tanglin break through our defense line. If they still have the ability to fight, why don't they attack while we stop Tanglin, and would rather wait for us to build a defensive line than let Tanglin get here? ”
In fact, this idea is the unanimous idea of all the strategists, if it weren't for this reason, they really couldn't figure it out, the defenders of their western and northern fronts had not shrunk before, the eastern front was blocking Tanglin, and the southern front was in a state of no defense, at this time it was Jiuping's best opportunity to attack, but Jiuping was willing to continue to move forward only when Donglin arrived.
Of course, if Tanglin and Jiuping are completely of the same mind, this guess is the only answer, even a person with a little brain can think of it, but the problem is that Jiuping and Tanglin have never been close allies, and these two forces are jointly attacking Qizhou at the same time, they invariably want to give the other side a knife.
Jiuping does not fight the Qizhou Mansion with the door wide open, on the one hand, because there are still top crystal souls like Shen Xu, and there may be too much loss if they are forced. On the other hand, Li Feiqiu also intended to let the most difficult bone of Qizhou Mansion knock the fangs of Tanglin to weaken the power of Tanglin and pave the way for future plans. And Tanglin also intends to let the strong city of Qizhou Mansion consume the strength of Jiuping, and it will be too difficult to fight Jiuping in the future.
