The Great Tent of the Covenant.

Tengge, the great prince of the Covenant Kingdom, and Sa Riman, the prince of the Covenant Kingdom, were silent in the tent, facing Kanyutu.

"Uncle Huang, do you think we can break through Zhenxi Pass this time?" Teng Ge asked, his young face full of unwillingness.

Today, he received his father's will again, asking him to return to the court as soon as possible and eliminate the wandering Dayan rangers in the Treaty Kingdom.

Hearing this, Sharman shook his head, "My chieftain in charge of intelligence, Urgan, has been captured, and those original plans have been nullified. ”

"Now I'm not sure, I will definitely be able to assist in breaking through Zhenxi Pass, now it is up to you to decide whether to advance or retreat."

Brother Teng frowned when he heard this, he finally got the opportunity to lead the troops, and he actually returned without attacking the city, which was too cowardly.

Originally, I wanted Uncle Huang to come out and insist on attacking the city.

In this way, the father blames him, and he can't blame him.

Uncle Huang, the old fox, didn't take the bait at all, and Tengge was now in a dilemma.

"We are about to march to the city, and my father is now asking us to withdraw our troops! This time in vain, our uncle and nephew will definitely become a joke. ”

When Sa Riman heard this, he hesitated in his heart, and spent so much energy and financial resources to improve the intelligence agencies of Zhenxiguan and Nanshan County, in order to be able to take Zhenxiguan in one fell swoop.

If you return in vain, you will be questioned by those people when you go back.

That's when a scout came to report.

"The eldest prince, the prince, our people have sent news that they have burned the grain and grass of the 100,000 army in Zhenxiguan for half a year."

When Sa Riman heard this, he was slightly stunned, he didn't expect to really succeed, "Is this true?" ”

"Seriously, after that valley, you can hear the raging fire in the city of Zhenxiguan, where the grain is placed."

Hearing this, Sariman pondered for a moment, "Tengge, I confirm the news again. If it's true, let's attack Zhenxiguan at night. ”

Teng Ge was also very excited, "If the grain and grass are burned, the morale of the army will inevitably be in chaos." We've got a catapult from Dayan, and we've improved it, and now it can come in handy as well. ”

"Yes." Sa Riman replied, "As long as you can break through Zhenxi Pass, everything is worth it." ”

"Uncle Huang is right." Teng Ge replied, "Now send someone to determine whether the grain and grass have been burned?" ”

There are many people in the layout of Sariman, there are these people in Urgan, but there is another team of people, which is a dark line.

usually doesn't do anything, it's just an ordinary Dayan dress, and he also has the identity of Dayan.

It is used to pass on the most confidential things, and it is also the last team.

The Samitan faction's henchmen went over, and this investigation was indeed arranged by them before, and it was burned by the people of the Covenant country.

This news made Sa Riman and Tengge even more excited.

Indeed, there were 100,000 people who had half a year's worth of grain and grass, and all of them were burned.

Not only the common people, but also other soldiers were very panicked.

The common people even rushed to buy grain, and people in Zhenxiguan and Lanshan County were panicked.

Liu Zicheng was the same, so anxious that his forehead sweated.

After a while, Fan Terrier also hurried over, "General, hundreds of thousands of loads of grain have been lost. ”

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and transfer grain and grass from Ningchang Mansion." Liu Zicheng was in a hurry, "By the way, did the arson catch him?" ”

Fan Terrier hurriedly replied: "They have been caught, but they all swallowed the medicine and all died." ”

"Bastard!" Liu Zicheng scolded angrily, "Don't delay, hurry up and transfer food." ”

It is said that the grain and grass have not been moved, and the soldiers and horses go first.

There is nothing to eat, and the morale of the army is unstable.

In fact, many people are starting to panic.

Liu Zicheng promised that within three days, the grain and grass would arrive.

Li Laohan was also very anxious, worried about the civil strife in Zhenxi Pass, and was about to come over to tell Liu Zicheng that he could provide grain and grass.

Gongsun Lian sent Niu Dazhuang over to tell the truth.

"Grandpa Li, my military advisor said that the grain and grass have been transported out through the tunnel, and they will be placed in a warehouse in the city, which will not cause a shortage of food."

Li Laohan was stunned, he didn't expect this to be Gongsun Lian's strategy, "Why is this?" ”

Seeing that there was no one else around, Niu Dazhuang lay on Li Laohan's ear, covered his mouth with his hand, and whispered: "We have already prepared a trap and waited for the soldiers of the Treaty Kingdom to come." ”

"But now they hesitate to set up camp on the outskirts of the canyon, and because the few teams sent before are making waves in the hinterland of the Treaty Country, they have a great impact. The king of the Pact country has ordered the Grand Prince Tengge to retreat. ”

Li Laohan touched his beard like a steel needle, "The eldest prince of the Covenant Kingdom is not happy to return in vain, right?" But you are not completely sure of attacking Zhenxi Pass, so you deliberately create the illusion that the grain and grass are burned, attract the soldiers of the Treaty country to advance, and then wipe them out. ”

Niu Dazhuang nodded, "Yes, Grandpa Li." The military advisor doesn't want you to get angry in a hurry, so I specially asked me to tell you. ”

Li Laohan smiled and waved his hand, "I originally wanted to get the grain from Lihua Village, but since this is the case, it is estimated that the war will end soon, and there is no need to allocate food." ”

Niu Dazhuang thought deeply, "Yes, it will be over soon." However, General Liu doesn't know yet, so please keep it a secret. ”

"yes, I see. You can go back with confidence, your military advisor has no martial arts, so don't leave his side without permission. Li Laohan confessed, in fact, he is quite optimistic about Gongsun Lian's character.

Aside from other reasons, if the daughter wants to remarry, it is not bad to be able to remarry Gongsun Lian.

At least not as amorous as other men.

"Yes, Grandpa Li, I know, let's go now." Niu Da Zhuang came and went in a hurry.

Seeing that Liu Zicheng was in a hurry, Li Laohan felt that he couldn't go.

"General Liu, don't be in a hurry." Li Laohan said in a deep voice, "Now we still have enough grain and grass for five days, enough time to mobilize grain and grass." ”

"If the food hasn't arrived in five days, you can borrow food from my daughter. A few years ago, merchants from Jinling came to my daughter's house to buy wool thread, and some of it was traded in grain. ”

Hearing this, Liu Zicheng's eyes lit up, "Old General Li, can Mrs. Li really lend us grain and grass?" ”

"Absolutely." Li Laohan replied, "The grain and grass at the border pass are urgent, and as the people of Zhenxiguan, of course we can't sit idly by. ”

Hearing this, Liu Zicheng was relieved and grateful, "Thank you, General Li." ”

The grain and grass in this Lihua Village are the foundation, and Liu Zicheng can transport the grain and grass from Ningchang Mansion in an orderly manner without hurry.

Because Liu Zicheng doesn't know, it looks like it's real from the inside out.

not only concealed the soldiers of Zhenxi Pass, but also concealed the soldiers of the Covenant State.

Sariman and the eldest prince Tengge ordered overnight to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the soldiers to discredit and advance.

There were no torches, and the horses' hooves were wrapped in sheepskins to keep the noise to a minimum.

Out of the canyon, only a few miles, to the west of the town.

At the sound of an order, the soldiers of the Covenant Kingdom, who heard the order, began to rush to the city wall of Zhenxi Pass.

At this time, Gongsun Lian appeared on the city tower.

Hearing the approaching soldiers of the Kat country, they immediately lit wolf smoke and torches, and the soldiers shot with bows and arrows.

In addition, six larger trebuchets were added to the city gates.

Liu Zicheng was surprised, "Brother Gongsun, these trebuchets are different from before, what is the use?" ”
