Chapter 369: A New Plan
Just when Li Yi and Mu Junhe were about to face the siege of everyone, An Su and Huang Budo, who were hundreds of miles away, were also besieged by a group of grassland soldiers.
And the reason why they will be besieged by the steppe people has to start from the beginning.
Let's say that when An Su, Huang Budo and others made a plan, they began to act separately.
First of all, Ansu took Zhang Wenlong to continue to lurk near the county guard's mansion.
After all, it was here that they found Zhang Wenlong's father just now.
In order to ensure that Zhang Wenlong would not be recognized by the grassland people, An Su, the only person who could speak the grassland language, had to follow him.
And Zhang Zhou followed Huang Budo and Guo Li to find a way to sneak out of the city.
He had to make things clear to Keiko and the others.
If Huang Budo and Guo Li were allowed to go alone, they were afraid that Jing Zizheng would not believe the two of them.
Although An Su and Zhang Wenlong's actions were very smooth, Huang Budo's actions were relatively troublesome.
Now the entire county town of Sizhou is full of grassland troops, and they will be discovered if they are not careful.
Once they are discovered, they are likely to end up directly surrounded by the Prairie Army, and they will definitely die in the end.
Therefore, Huang Budo was extra careful when the three of them acted.
But although they were able to successfully evade the hunt of the steppe army, how to sneak out of the city quietly became a problem.
Now that all the four gates of Sizhou County have been sealed by the grassland army, it is not easy to sneak out without knowing it.
However, just when they were at a loss, Zhang Wenlong reminded them before that he pointed out the way out for them.
According to Zhang Wenlong, some time ago, due to the drought in the city, many waterways in the city have dried up.
The source of these waterways is from outside the city, and some time ago someone reported to the government that the iron fences of these waterways have been corroded.
However, the government at that time didn't pay much attention to this, so these waterways were quickly used by the city fox society rats in the city.
Through these waterways, they did not fail to get some of the stolen goods out of the city.
Zhang Wenlong even heard that there was a thug in the city who was so bold that he actually kidnapped a woman from a wealthy family in the city, and in order to avoid being discovered, he secretly got the woman out of the city through this waterway.
And afterwards, because his companion leaked the news, this kid was arrested by the government, and through this kid's government, he also found the woman he hid in the broken temple outside the city.
However, what is surprising is that when the government found the woman, the woman was reluctant to go back.
She even claimed that she was willing to live with that kid for the rest of her life.
Faced with this situation, the woman's family was a hundred unhappy, and the woman finally had to go home with them under the threat of the boy's life.
Later, the woman's family announced that their daughter had suffered from hysteria because of the fright.
But the people in the city were talking about it.
In this way, under the guidance of Zhang Zhou, Huang Budo, Guo Li and Zhang Zhou crossed the fence that had been completely decayed and broken to the outside of the city without danger.
As soon as they left the city, Zhang Zhou quickly brought them to Jing Zizheng and the others.
"Brother Huang, I didn't expect us to be so fateful to meet you in this Sizhou county hundreds of miles away."
When Zhang Zhou finished telling Jing Zizheng about the matter and plan, Jing Zizheng immediately got up and bowed to Huang Budo.
"Brother Jing, that's right, we're really fated!"
Huang Budo didn't see anything special about Jing Zizheng at the first glance.
Therefore, he only raised his hand perfunctorily in return.
But Guo Li behind him felt something different in Jing Zizheng's body.
Perhaps this is the so-called tacit understanding between literati!
"I heard Zhang Zhou talk about your plan just now, although there is basically no problem, but we don't have many people now, and I want to convince the grassland army that there is really a large army attacking them, I'm afraid it's not easy."
After Huang Budo and Guo Li sat down, Li Yi took the lead in speaking.
"Actually, we also know that this is not easy, after all, there is no shortage of wise people in these grassland army, but if even if we can't let the whole grassland army move in advance, then at least we can kill a few grassland soldiers, isn't it to scare and scare them?"
At this time, Guo Li was the first to speak.
"Yes! And there are still two of you in the city, and that Zhang Wenlong is still looking for a chance to rescue his father! ”
Huang Budo is also worried that Jing Zizheng and others will completely negate the plan formulated by himself and others.
"It's not that you two don't be nervous, I'm not trying to negate your plan, on the contrary, I think we can make it more reasonable."
Keiko said with a smile on the corner of his mouth at this time.
Looking at the confident smile on Jingzizheng's face, Guo Li suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
After thinking about it for a while, he realized that this familiar feeling came from when he usually gave Huang Budo advice.
It's a feeling of confidence.
"Zizheng boy, I'm afraid I didn't think of a good way to look at you like this, right?"
Mr. Shangyang also saw from Jing Zizheng's face that he was in his chest.
"Huh! Sir praised it falsely! This time, I not only want to scare these steppe armies once, but also make these steppe armies completely chaotic. ”
As Keiko spoke, he set his eyes on Hae-in and Hae-jin Lei.
Feeling Jing Zizheng's gaze, Hae Yin and Yu Zhenlei's hearts suddenly chuckled.
"Childe, before leaving, he promised me and Yu Zhenlei that he would not let us fight with our own people! Don't hit us with ideas. ”
Hae-in immediately got up and said solemnly.
Although Hai Yin and Yu Zhenlei were already sincerely seeking refuge in Li Yi at this time, there were some bottom-line things that they still didn't want to touch.
It's not about loyalty or not, it's just the bottom line of how they behave.
It is precisely because they abide by this bottom line that Li Yi dares to accept the two of them with confidence and boldness.
If Hai Yin and Yu Zhenlei could really wave the butcher knife at their own people without any hindrance, then one day they would also wave the butcher knife at Li Yi at some point.
"Haijun, don't worry, I will never go against what my junior brother promised you."
Keiko was still smiling and patrolling back and forth on Yu Zhenlei and Hae Yin's bodies.
After a moment, he slapped his thigh, and then completely focused his gaze on Yu Zhenlei's body.
"What do you see me doing? The Lord has said that we will not kill our own people. ”
Yu Zhenlei felt a little like pins and needles under Jing Zizheng's gaze, so he said angrily.
"Hey! Lao Yu, I don't need you to make a move this time, but I need you to act in a play! ”
Keiko said with an eyebrow raised.
Guo Li and Huang Budo couldn't help but feel very strange when they saw that Jingzi was looking at Hai Yin and Yu Zhenlei all the time, and their faces were still showing satisfaction.
"Brother Jing, who are these two? Why do you want this tall man to act? ”
Huang Budo's personality is relatively straightforward, so he asks whatever he has.
"The two of you must not divulge it, and you will know when you act."
It's not that I'm nervous and deliberately selling Guanzi, the main thing is that Huang Budo and Guo Li are not their own people after all.
As the saying goes: the heart is separated from the belly.
Who knows what kind of people these two people are, if he tells the true identities of Hai Yin and Yu Zhenlei, these two people may not be able to tell the identities of the two.
Seeing that Jingzi was raising his eyebrows with an expression that everyone was waiting for the next good show, Huang Budo and Guo Li just thought that Jingzi was deliberately showing off in front of him because he was young.
But they didn't know that this was what Keiko was saying on purpose to avoid embarrassment.
"Since Gongzi Jing said that he wants to make things bigger, I don't know what we should do now?"
Guo Li immediately asked.
"Since you asked, I won't hide it, my plan is divided into two steps!"
Keiko said, holding up her fingers.
"The first step, I and you will take everyone to Sizhou County at night, and then deliberately make a noise."
Guo Li frowned when he heard Jing Zizheng's first step.
He knew that Keiko was taking advantage of the night to go to the county seat of Sizhou to bluff.
Because they were so few in number, and because they were of all shapes, it was difficult to convince the steppe army in the city that they were the members of the Dayu army.
"Although Jing Gongzi can indeed confuse the grassland army in the city under the cover of night, as long as they send an army, we can be sure of our hypocrisy, if we go so recklessly, wouldn't we send sheep into the tiger's mouth?"
Guo Li thought for a moment and still felt that he had to make the problem clear.
"Brother Guo, don't worry, I have a second step."
Keiko continued.
"Jing Gongzi continued!"
Huang Budo was interested at this time, and he had now felt a familiar feeling from Jing Zizheng's body.
This feeling made him feel inexplicably reassured.
"The second part is led by Mr. Shangyang to transfer those of us who don't know martial arts to Huaishui."
Keiko said as he looked at Mr. Shangyang.
"What are you going to do by the water? These steppe barbarians have abandoned all the boats on the banks of the river, and they have not arranged a person to guard those boats, so they obviously don't want them? ”
Huang Budo frowned and asked puzzled.
"I know I don't want these boats, but I can use them to put on a big show."
Keiko said with a smile.
"What kind of fame can some wrecked ships that have been stranded and abandoned perform?"
Huang Budo asked a little unwillingly.
"Is Jing Gongzi planning to use these ships to bluff?"
Guo Li, who was beside Huang Budo, was in the eye at this time, and then he felt as if he had been empowered.
"Brother Guo guessed right, I want to use these ships to play a good show of thousands of troops and horses besieging Sizhou."
Keiko clapped her hands and said.
"Thousands of troops besieged Sizhou? How can we put on such a big show? ”
Huang Budo and the others all looked at Jing Zizheng in confusion.
"Are you planning to bluff by burning the ship?"
Hai Yin also understood Jing Zizheng's plan at this time, but unlike Jing Zizheng's Cheng Zhu in his chest and Guo Lidi's excitement, Hai Yin looked a little lonely after saying this guess.
Seeing this, although Jing Zizheng wanted to persuade a few words, but because he was worried that Guo Li would see something, he could only gently pat Hai Yin's shoulder.
Feeling Jing Zizheng's comfort, Hai Yin could only smile wryly and nodded, indicating that he understood what Jing Zizheng meant.
In fact, Hai Yin himself also knew that this time, since the grassland army took such a big risk to go south to plunder, they would inevitably suffer great losses.
As a former Xianbei Khan, he is not a sentimental person, on the contrary, his heart is much harder than that of others.
Now that he has decided to completely break away from the grassland tribe and devote himself to Li Yi's command, as long as he is not the enemy of the grassland army, then he doesn't want to care about the life or death of the grassland army.
Before he decided to sincerely join Li Yi, Li Yi had a long talk with him once.
It was a conversation that only the two of them knew.
During this conversation, Li Yi carefully described to him his vision for the future.
And in these ideas, Hae-in hears of a better future than ever before.
And in this beautiful future, they also have a place for their steppe tribe, and the steppe tribe has the same rights as the people of the Dayu Dynasty in this future.
And from now on, the grassland tribes will share the same fate with the Dayu Dynasty.
They no longer have to kill or wound a large number of herders because of the White Plague, and the herdsmen no longer need to risk their lives every autumn to plunder the meagre supplies of the Dayu Dynasty.
In Li Yi's vision, the Dayu Dynasty and the Steppe tribes would form a vast empire together.
In this empire, the emperor is only a symbol of the empire, and all the affairs of the country are discussed by representatives of various ethnic groups.
Representatives of each ethnic group are chosen by their own votes.
In this way, even if there is a conflict between the various ethnic groups, it must be resolved through consultation and communication, rather than the use of military force and force.
For such a future, although Hae Yin feels that it is a bit fantastical, it will be difficult to realize.
But he saw firmness, determination and hope in Li Yi's eyes.
Since then, he has been sincerely willing to follow Li Yi to realize this seemingly distant future.
Even if he knows that he may not see this bright future in his life, he will not hesitate to do so.
"So, Brother Jing, are you planning to set fire to all the ships in Huaishui and then bring us to the army that pretends to be Dayu?"
Huang Budo slapped his thigh and jumped up.
"That's right, so when the grassland barbarians in the city see the continuous fire burning by the Huaishui, they will inevitably wonder if the Dayu army has arrived, and then we will appear at the gate of the city at the right time and claim to be the vanguard of the Dayu army, do you mean they will panic?"
Keiko said with a grin.
"Wonderful! It's just wonderful. In this way, the steppe barbarians will definitely be scared to the point of urine. ”
Huang Budo was already rubbing his hands excitedly at this time, and he said as he walked back and forth.
"However, in this way, the grassland army is likely to shrink in the county town of Sizhou and refuse to leave the city!"
At this time, Guo Li raised his worries.
"Don't worry, they'll be out of town!"
Keiko said with confidence.
"How do you know?"
Guo Li asked with a frown.
"It's very simple, the grassland tribe is not good at defending the city, and this time their target in the south is Jinling City in Xinzhou, how can they waste time by confronting other armies before capturing Jinling City?"
Keiko said word by word.
