Chapter 197: Returning in vain
"Uncle has no intention of being self-reliant, and Yingchuan does not return to Yuzhou, what does it matter?" Zhou Yu said.
Sun Jian was about to open his mouth, but Zhou Yu said: "I know that my uncle is a little entangled in his heart, but it is not a good thing to support troops outside the gate of the imperial court. As long as the imperial court can free its hands, it will inevitably attack Yuzhou. β
Although the war in Jizhou was deadlocked, the imperial court not only did not break its muscles and bones, but its vitality increased greatly. Yanzhou Tuntian has seen results day by day. Although the emperor is young, he is gradually showing his domineering spirit, and at this time, it may be better to be a courtier than to dominate the party. β
Zhou Yu's words made Sun Jian's thoughts suddenly brighten.
He rubbed Zhou Yu's head twice, laughed and said, "There should be a few like you around Wufu." β
"There are a lot of other people's staff, but I have to rely on you as a half-sized kid, poor."
Zhou Yu: ......
"Uncle has me alone, enough to beat a group of others!"
Sun Jian laughed heartily, "You kid is not modest at all!" β
"The generally modest are either insidious or incompetent." Zhou Yu said.
"Hahaha, okay, that's good." Sun Jian was happy in his heart, "My son's vision is better than mine." β
Zhou Yu was able to enter his eyes entirely because of Sun Ce.
β¦β¦
"Impulsive, impulsive!"
Liu Wei stared at Yang Zhai's tall city, a little sad.
Several rounds of arrow rain fell, and the Yangzhai defenders suffered more than 1,000 casualties.
But the chaos caused by this injury was quickly suppressed.
There is no need to think about it, it must be Kong Ling who used his money ability to win the hearts of the defenders again.
This made Liu Wei a little succumbing.
The soldiers are running out of crossbow arrows, and there is no need to continue to squander them.
If the enemy army is not as chaotic as he had imagined, then such a battle of wills is meaningless.
Next, you have to need a pawn!
Let the prisoner army turn into foot soldiers to attack the city, Liu Wei is really reluctant.
It's too extravagant.
At the beginning, he was too sharp and missed the opportunity.
This is the case above the battle array, one wrong step, one wrong step.
If he had shown weakness at the beginning, he might have already lived in the Yang Zhai Office.
But now, I can only stare dryly.
"It's really fucking sloppy." Liu Wei scolded and scolded himself again.
He rode lightly, and originally had no trial and error capital.
But that's what he did.
This typical knowingly committed crime makes Liu Bian's intestines a little green now.
"I hope Jia Poison can have a better idea, otherwise he will have to use unconventional means." Liu Wei muttered quietly.
Operation decapitation.
But the decapitation operation over the city wall, Liu Wei didn't know if it would work.
He hadn't done any of that either.
Jia Xu looked at Liu Wei talking to himself there, and gave Lu Qiling a look.
Lu Qiling grimaced reluctantly.
This fake father always asked her to be a cart boy, which was too much.
"Your Majesty!" Jia Xu stepped forward.
"My willfulness is over, isn't it time for you to play?" Liu Wei said.
Jia Xu was stunned, and his pupils were a little shocked.
That's what he thought, but he didn't expect the emperor to know that he would think so.
The emperor who is free from the constraints is like a foal that has been released, and the vast world wants to break through recklessly.
And Jia Xu is not like other courtiers, he wants the emperor to play as hard as he can, and then he will end it himself.
"Death penalty!" Jia Xu bowed his head.
Liu Wei waved his hand, "Tell me about your preparations." β
"Our army is coming on light horses, and the grain and grass are unsustainable, so retreat!" Jia Xu said.
"Feigned defeat?" Liu Wei asked.
"Exactly, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, this is Kong Ling's plan now, even if Yang Zhai is a group of rabble, but with the support of vast money, they also have the power to fight." Jia Xu smiled, "If our army retreats, Kong Ling's fist, which has spent a lot of effort to prepare, will hit the cotton, and this punch will be weak, and the army's spirit will be dispersed because of this." β
"If you take advantage of its unpreparedness, you can take the city in one fell swoop!"
Liu Wei bowed slightly.
Compared with this scheming guy, his plan still lacks some flavor.
It's too direct, not yin enough.
"You certainly didn't just prepare for this." Liu Wei said.
Jia Xu chuckled, "Your Majesty really knows everything about the ministers. This city is huge, and it is very suitable for fire attack! β
Liu Wei tilted his head slightly, "This is indeed a good tactic, but there will be hundreds of casualties due to this, so put it aside." β
"Yui!"
"Yinglin, send someone to come forward and scold, and give me a fierce greeting to Kong Ling's ancestor." Liu Wei shouted.
"Yui!" Yinglin urged him forward and said in a loud voice.
"How many days do I have to keep it?" Liu Wei asked.
"In two or three days, our army has no food and grass, which is something that can be seen at a glance." Jia Xu said.
"Okay, then two or three days." Liu Wei said.
The decapitation operation, it seems, can be saved until the end.
β¦β¦
The shouting and scolding of the city is very sharp.
Those words made Kong Ling's face pale, her face twitched for a while, and her eyes could almost erupt with anger.
"Please bear with me for the time being!" Su Sheng, who came back from the gentry, advised, "The imperial army came from afar and did not carry grain and grass, so our army only needs to hold on, and this battle can be a great victory." β
"Can't take the initiative?" Kong Ling asked in a deep voice.
Su Sheng shook his head, "Please also ask the lord to dispel this idea for the time being, this army is obviously the most elite cavalry in the imperial army, and our army will definitely not be their opponent in the field, but will give them an opportunity to take advantage of." β
"At this moment, the morale of our army is high, but there are not many arrows in the imperial army, they can only look at us dryly, but there is nothing to be done."
"Soldiers are elite soldiers, but the people who use them obviously don't understand it very well."
Kong Ling sneered, "The emperor personally led the army here, how can there be room for others to put their beaks?" In this battle, the emperor must have personally commanded it. The emperor looks like a human dog, but it can be seen that he is not able to understand the rest of the bullshit except for being brutal and stubborn. β
Su Sheng smiled cooperatively, and then said: "Lord, fortunately, the emperor is personally in command, otherwise if it is an old general, I am afraid that it will not give our army a chance to gather the hearts of the army, this is God bless the lord." β
God bless the Lord......
This made Kong Ling very useful.
Su Sheng is a good person.
He was originally a retainer, but now he is the first to be called the lord in the bright light, which is to build momentum for him.
β¦β¦
The Eldest Princess's Mansion.
"The imperial army hasn't attacked the city yet?" Liu Yu had just woken up and was handling a sheep with his own hands.
She was quick and swift, and in less than a moment she peeled off the sheepskin.
The two maids gave Liu Yu a hand, and one of them said: "The slave maid heard from those sergeants that the imperial army is all cavalry, not good at attacking the city, and is in a stalemate. β
Liu Yu's movement of waving his knife paused slightly, "It's all cavalry?" β
"Yes, my lord, that's what the soldiers said. However, I heard that the imperial court came to the elite this time, and hundreds of horsemen chased and cut down Kong Ling's 3,000-step horsemen, but none of them were left, all of them were cut, and the head was placed outside the city. The maid said.
"Good at fighting fiercely, but not strategizing, who is the leader?" Liu Yu was a little lost.
The maid suddenly stopped what she was doing, and said with a look of surprise: "The slave was about to tell the princess about this, but I heard that they said that His Majesty personally led the army, and led the troops directly to the city. β
"What about being handsome, if you don't know strategy, the general who leads the army is also a waste, how can this battle be fought like this!" Liu Yu's chest rose and fell in anger, threw down the knife and said, "You clean up, clean up and eat yourself." β
"Princess ......"
The two maids hurriedly got up.
"It's okay, I'll be quiet." Liu Yu said.
This news made her suddenly lose interest in eating roast sheep.
"Princess, what's wrong?" A maid muttered quietly.
The other tugged at the placket of her clothes and scolded her, "Don't talk too much, hurry up and clean up this raise, the princess will have to eat it later!" β
"O, O, good ......"
β¦β¦
Over the next two days, the convicts did one thing.
Unbridled provocations.
Liu Wei and Jia Xu used all the insulting tricks they could think of here.
Shouting, fighting under the city, drinking and scolding shirtless, opening bonfires, etc.
But Kong Ling was completely indifferent as if she was dead.
"This guy is quite bearable." Liu Wei sighed, and couldn't help but regret his sharpness at the beginning.
Indeed, the enemy should be shown to be weak.
Jia Xu looked at the small mountain of people in front of him and said with a smile: "Kong Ling is also afraid that his head will become one of them. β
"The time is almost up, let's withdraw today." Liu Wei said.
Jia Xu bowed, "It's really about the same." β
In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Wei led his army to leave Yangzhai.
At that time, Kong Ling was at the head of the city.
θΏε ζ₯δ»εδΉεδΈε₯½οΌη‘δΉη‘δΈε₯½οΌη΄’ζ§η΄ζ₯ε°±δ½ε¨δΊε倴γ
One is to boost morale, and the other is to monitor the movements of the imperial army at any time.
Anyway, in this weather, even if it is an open-air floor, it is not afraid of freezing.
"Lord, the enemy has withdrawn!" Su Sheng said to Kong Ling with a happy face.
"Boye, do you think this will be a fraud?" Kong Ling felt a little uneasy in her heart.
At first, he listened to the insults and abuses of the enemy army, and he was eager to personally raise troops out of the city and fight the dog emperor to the death.
But after a long time, he got used to it, and began to think more about the emperor's purpose.
"Yes!" Su Sheng gave a very positive answer.
Then he said: "But the enemy is coming on light horses, and it is also a fact that there is a shortage of food and grass, and there is no place to replenish them with food and grass in the left vicinity, so they can only withdraw the army, or order Yanzhou to send a large army to replenish it." But as soon as the army moves, even if it is supplied from the nearest Chenliu, it will take at least half a month, and if it can be delayed for half a month, I don't think the emperor will withdraw the army in such a hurry. β
Su Sheng's explanation made Kong Ling listen to it a little cloudy, "Since you say this, why do you think there is fraud?" β
"Withdrawal is inevitable!" Su Sheng said, "But the emperor has eaten a closed door in our hands, and he must have a fire in his heart, and he will not give up easily." On the occasion of the retreat, give us a line, which is highly likely. β
Kong Ling's eyes slowly narrowed into triangular eyes, "What do you mean...... Will he kill back and then withdraw his troops? β
"My lord's opinion, that's exactly the case." Su Sheng praised.
"Then wait a little longer, drag on, there is plenty of grain and grass in the city, don't say how many days, what if I boil him for a month? The old man didn't believe that the emperor could give me a month to get my horse pistol back. Kong Ling said disdainfully.
The initial radicalism has been almost boiled in the past few days, and his current state of mind is very peaceful.
But Su Sheng shook his head, "Lord, we can't afford a month!" β
"What do you mean?" Kong Ling was a little depressed by Su Sheng's back and forth words.
Can't you fucking say it all at once?
"My lord, the emperor will not be willing to return in vain this time, even if it is not for Lu Bu, he will go south again." Su Sheng said, "And next to us is the ambitious Sun Jian, who is the knife in the emperor's hand. We are alone here, we can withstand this time, what will we do next time? β
"What should I do?" Kong Ling's brain twitched, and he blurted out.
"Seek allies, my lord! And, as soon as possible! Su Sheng said.
Before the war began, you were always planning allies, why are you not aware of it now?
Kong Ling thought for a while, bowed her head again and again, and said after a while: "This is indeed as soon as possible!" β
Just one Sun Jian made him a little anxious.
If the emperor raises troops again, Kong Ling looks at these soldiers in the city, and I am afraid that he will not be able to stop it next time.
