Chapter 207 Is It a Man or a Ghost?
"Wei Yong is indeed a talent." At sunset, Yang Ming, who was sitting on the city wall, looked at the retreating Wei army and wiped the blood stains on his hand casually, this was already the twentieth day of the Wei army's siege of the city.
After getting Chaoge City to be captured by the Qin army, Wei Yong not only did not withdraw his troops, but launched a more fierce attack on Diqiu City, Wei Yong's decision cannot be said to be wrong, at least, if he changes positions with Wei Yong, Yang Ming is likely to be like Wei Yong now.
After all, in a war, if you don't know how to choose, it is definitely a good choice for the other party to not get your wish, and Wei Yong chose to storm Diqiu City out of such considerations.
But there must be a premise for all this, that is, you can really see the enemy's intentions, if you can't see it, then the so-called good is just a joke.
And did Wei Yong really see Yang Ming's intentions?
Of course not, to deal with Wei Yong, Yang Ming still doesn't need to attack Chaoge to save Emperor Qiu's plan of 'encircling Wei and saving Zhao', Wei Yong is not as powerful as Pang Juan, and the Qin army is also stronger than the Qi army of the year, Yang Ming's real purpose is to Chaoge City, not only Chaoge City, but also the south bank of Pushui, the Wei cities north of Jishui, such as Guiling, Yancheng, Xucheng and other places.
When Wei Yong was storming Diqiu City, Wang Qian, who was supposed to be in Baimajin to guard against the Zhao army crossing the river and attacking, led the main force of the Qin army to suddenly move south, crossed Pushui, and went all the way to Wei.
Under the powerful front of the Qin army, because of the attack on Diqiu City, the northern troops of Wei had already drawn many northern cities of Wei, and in less than ten days, five cities were connected by the Qin army, including an important town like Guiling.
For a while, even Da Liang felt the pressure from the Qin army.
At this time, Wei Yong, who was still storming Diqiu City, couldn't help but fall into deep suspicions, wasn't the main force of the Qin army guarding against the Zhao army? How could they suddenly go south to attack Wei?
What is Zhao Jun doing?
Of course, Wei Yong didn't know what Wei Yong was doing, because a big event was happening in Zhao Capital.
The new queen of Zhao is actively planning to depose the prince of Zhao and push her son to the position of the crown prince.
At this time, the defenders of the southern border of the Zhao State only hoped that they would be safe with the Qin army, and as for the Wei State, what was it?
When the Qin army galloped across the Wei Plain between Pushui and Jishui, the royal order from Daliang finally appeared in the Wei army camp under the city of Diqiu.
"Returning to the army?" Wei Yong looked at the royal order in his hand, and then saw Long Yangjun, who had grown a beard since the death of King Wei Xian, and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Defending the country is irretrievable, and protecting the northern border of my Wei country is the top priority at the moment." Longyang Jun said.
"I'm afraid that the Qin army won't let us return to the army so easily." Wei Yong sighed.
"If you wait for the Qin army to come back to help, Sikong will be even more unlucky." Longyang Jun said.
"I know, but, it has been more than half a month since the army stormed Diqiu City, and the Qin army in Diqiu City has almost reached its limit, if it can be used in one go, it may not be possible to capture Diqiu City, as long as it can capture Diqiu City, with the momentum of a big victory, whether it is to return to reinforcements or something else, our army has a great initiative, and it is really difficult to know the future of retreating now." Wei Yong still wanted to struggle a little more.
If he retreats from the army, then he will be a real soldier this time and return in vain, which makes his road to power and minister go on.
"How can Sikong be sure that the Qin army can't hold on?" Long Yangjun asked.
"There is a shortage of food in the city, I have to pass on the news, the city from that Yang Ming down, whether it is the soldiers and the people, or the magnates in the past, up and down the city, no matter who it is, they have to line up to receive food, the summer grain in Diqiu City has been sent to Daliang as soon as possible after the harvest in previous years, and there can be enough food in the city." Wei Yong said approvingly.
As a vassal of Wei, Wei Guo is not talking about it, and there is not much to be left of strategic materials such as money and grain.
"How many days?" Long Yangjun said in a deep groan.
He also knew that what Wei Yong said was reasonable, and for the sake of Wei, he could be a little accommodating without disobeying the king's order.
"Three days, only three days, after three days, no matter whether I can capture Diqiu City or not, I will withdraw my troops." Wei Yong said firmly.
"Okay, then three days." Longyang Military Road.
As Wei Yong said, the city of Diqiu has already distributed food according to the population, over the years, although the Wei State has not been able to completely occupy the Wei State for some reasons, but the things between gains and losses are changeable.
Although Wei State cannot directly swallow Wei Guo, the form of a vassal state can allow Wei State to exploit Wei Guo more wantonly, anyway, there is Wei Jun in front of him to bear the dissatisfaction from the people of Wei Guo, Wei State only needs to make a lot of money in a muffled voice.
Therefore, even though Diqiu City, as a big city on both sides of the river, has a large population, is located on the north-south transportation artery, and is famous for its developed agriculture and industry, the treasury has never been full.
The population of Diqiu City is extremely large, and under the siege of the Wei army, there are large consumers like the Qin army, and the grain stock in Diqiu City will soon not be so rich, so it can only be distributed according to the population.
On a street, the people of Diqiu were waiting in a long line to receive food, although the line was very long, but these people did not have the slightest hint of urgency, after all, these food distributed according to the population was too cheap, even if they had to queue up for such a long time every three days, they were willing to do it.
On the side of the line, Gongsun Li, who was wearing a hat, looked at the long line and couldn't help but sigh, still have to line up.
Just when Gongsun Li was frowning, a shadow enveloped her.
Gongsun Li subconsciously took a step back, but when she saw the person in front of her clearly, she was even more flustered, and her steps that could have been stopped were even more uncontrollable, and the whole person was backwards in panic, almost about to fall.
Until a palm grasped her weak, boneless forearm.
"You, you, you?" Gongsun Li looked at the person who suddenly appeared in front of her, and her delicate little face was already pale.
In Gongsun Li's mind, I couldn't help but think of what my grandfather once said, dead, dead.
But who is the person in front of you?
When Gongsun Li heard from her grandfather that the robber in front of her was killed by the Qin army, she had been sad for half a night and never fell asleep, and then felt guilty for several days because of her sadness.
She was sad that someone she knew was so dead, and she felt guilty that she actually sympathized with the robbers, after all, sympathizing with a bad person is not what a good person should do.
But no matter how complicated the mind was at that time, after all, the matter has passed, maybe in the days to come, Gongsun Li will occasionally think of that somewhat special robber she saw at noon, as for something else? There is nothing, and in a person's life, he always has to meet a lot of people and a lot of things.
But right in front of him, the person who was already dead actually appeared in front of Gongsun Li again, and in such a sudden way, for a while, Gongsun Li only felt that there was chaos in his mind, but the fear was the most.
Even in the sun, Gongsun Li still felt a chill coming out of the soles of her feet.
Person? Or a ghost?
Yang Ming looked at the panicked Gongsun Li, and couldn't think of a reason for a while, he subconsciously touched his face, and the feeling in his hand didn't feel anything abnormal.
"What's wrong with me?" Yang Ming asked.
"Are you a human or a ghost?" Gongsun Li asked in a panic.
"Is it a human or a ghost? Why would Miss Gongsun ask that? Yang Ming let go of Gongsun Li and said in surprise.
"Grandfather said you were dead." Gongsun Li tried her best to control her desire to escape, and she also reacted a little at this time.
"Old ......, the old-timers said I was dead?" Yang Ming was stunned, what did Gongsun Yu say in front of his granddaughter.
"Hmm." Gongsun Li nodded, looking at Yang Ming with a look of horror in her eyes.
"Haven't I lived a good life? Or alone. ”
Yang Ming said that he pulled a person who dared to come to the queue and asked, "Do you think I am a human or a ghost?" ”
The person who was queuing up in a hurry glanced at Yang Ming, a look of impatience appeared on his face, and said: "I see that you are not a human, nor a ghost, you are sick, don't pull me, I still have urgent matters." ”
The pedestrians scolded and walked away.
Gongsun Li had also reacted at this time, she was deceived by her grandfather, in broad daylight, how could any ghost dare to walk outside, and when she saw Yang Ming being said to be sick on the road, she looked stunned in an instant, and couldn't help laughing.
"Well, I know you're human." Gongsun Li said.
"No, why do you think I'm a ghost?" Yang Ming was curious, he wanted to know how Gongsun Yu arranged himself in front of Gongsun Li.
"I'm going to have to line up too." Gongsun Li pointed to the long queue in front of him.
"I'll help you platoon." Yang Ming took the bamboo basket in Gongsun Li's hand.
"Okay then." If it was in the past, Gongsun Li might have rejected Yang Ming, but at the moment, she was also very curious, curious about why her grandfather would say Yang Ming like that, you know, it is a very rude thing to say that someone else is dead, and even has the suspicion of cursing, what kind of person would let her grandfather say such things?
"What the hell is going on?" Yang Ming looked at Gongsun Lidao beside him.
"Grandfather said you were a robber." Gongsun Li also looked at Yang Ming, no matter how she thought about it, it was difficult to associate Yang Ming with someone like a robber.
In Gongsun Li's narration, Yang Ming finally understood what happened in Gongsun's house.
Gongsun Yu, this old guy, is really doing everything, being called a robber, it's nothing, but even if he is a robber, he is also the most powerful robber, how can he be caught, and he was killed, is he so unbearable?
After Gongsun Li finished telling, she couldn't help but feel uneasy, this matter, no matter how you look at it, is it not good that her grandfather did it properly, and she sold her grandfather?
It's just that my grandfather was wrong, so it shouldn't be anything, right?
Also, he won't be angry, will he?
Under Gongsun Li's gaze, Yang Ming scratched his jaw, and at that moment, Gongsun Li thought of a creature he had seen in the wild under the protection of his grandfather when he was a child, the napping tiger.
