Chapter 40: Trapping a Su Qi?
Jian Zhizhi closed his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and clutched the spear in his hand.
When she opened her eyes again, although her heart was still beating, her eyes were much clearer.
Jian Zhizhi's throat was dry, and his voice trembled slightly:
"Where did he go?"
Run, which means that they will not have less trouble next.
Chen Dongfeng saw Jian Zhizhi's face turned pale, and his voice wrinkled his brows and said:
"Running forward, it just happens to be the direction we are going, there is very likely that there are still troops of the Lin Kingdom guarding over there, we will take this road to send food into Surabaya City, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Jian Zhizhi glanced at him sideways, and then at the other eight people, all of whom looked serious and did not show the slightest panic.
Jian Zhizhi remembered the crispness and neatness when they first started, even if they were injured, they still made up the knife in an orderly manner, and now they were so calm, and the doubts in their hearts were even worse.
Where did 'she' get these people? Who are they?
"Plus, we're missing our food."
Before Jian Zhizhi could figure it out, Chen Dongfeng spoke again.
As soon as he said this, there was a deathly silence around him.
When the food is gone, what's the point of their trip?
When it comes to food, Jian Zhizhi is relieved.
Jian Zhizhi looked around and took the initiative to speak:
"You check on these people on the ground first, get their two sets of clothes and change them, and then deal with this place.
I'm not familiar with this place, which of you can lead the way? Let's get out of here first. ”
As soon as Chen Dongfeng heard Jian Zhizhi's words, he knew that she still wanted to go to Surabaya City.
But when he thought of the next risk, Chen Dongfeng still wrinkled his eyebrows and spoke:
"Shopkeeper Jane, when you hired us before, you said that we would help you deliver food to Surabaya City, but now the food is gone, and several of our brothers have been injured, this trip is ......"
It's okay to just sneak into Surabaya City, but when the Lin army has already been alarmed, it is really dangerous to continue to go to Surabaya City.
That's an army of 200,000 people, and even Su Qi, the general who defends the city, is under control, and a few of them are tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
Jian Zhizhi said that he was sorry in his heart, isn't this person ready to continue to cooperate?
She didn't know this place well, and if there was no one to guide her, she wouldn't know how to get to Surabaya City.
Jian Zhizhi stabilized his mind, and only then looked at Chen Dongfeng with a straight expression, and said directly:
"I guess you considered the risks when I hired you."
Surabaya City is trapped, since these people dare to take 'her' order, they must have considered it, and even the price may not be low.
Now the people who told her that they were hurt, either trying to raise the price temporarily, or were ready to retreat.
It's okay if it's just a price increase, just wait until you get to Surabaya City and let Su Qi give it.
If you want to quit, it's tricky.
Chen Dongfeng nodded, and he was not ready to fool Jian Zhizhi, and said bluntly:
"That's true, that's why we asked for five thousand taels.
But now not only has the army of Lin Kingdom been alarmed, but the grain has also been lost by us, without food, is it necessary for us to go to Surabaya City? ”
The only one who escaped was the squad leader, and he couldn't escape, so how could he care about the food?
The rest of the Lin people are lying here, and the food seems to have disappeared out of thin air.
When Chen Dongfeng said this, he glanced at Jian Zhizhi deeply, and blatantly tentatively:
"Shopkeeper Jane, don't you think these grains have disappeared strangely?
And you don't seem to care about the food. ”
Five thousand taels!
After knowing that eight cents could buy a pound of rice, Jian Zhizhi twitched several times when he heard this price.
With so much silver, how much rice does she need to sell to earn it back?
But fortunately, at the moment, this person is not ready to raise the price, but feels that the food is out and wants to retreat.
Jian Zhizhi: "There is no food drag, you just need to send me to Surabaya City, and then the silver will not be less for you, and your trip will be easier, right?" ”
The backyard is in her mind, and when she arrives in Surabaya City, is she still afraid that there will be no food?
What's more, the grain wasn't lost at all.
As soon as Chen Dongfeng heard Jian Zhizhi's words, he knew that she was determined to go to Surabaya City.
Without the heavy burden of food, it is indeed much easier to take only one person into Surabaya City.
But the army ......
Chen Dongfeng was still a little hesitant, "Normally, when you climb over this mountain, you can see Surabaya City, but there is the Lin army guarding ahead, and we may not be able to break through the defense line of the Lin army." ”
Jian Zhizhi said decisively: "Then take a detour." ”
If this road doesn't work, then change the road, a city is so big, there is always a place to mix in.
Chen Dongfeng: ......
Chen Dongfeng kindly reminded: "The number of Linguo troops in other places is even larger. ”
Jian Zhizhi twisted his eyebrows, "How many people are in the army of the Lin Kingdom?" How many people do you think they can put in this place? ”
Chen Dongfeng glanced at Jian Zhizhi in surprise, and explained:
"Lin sent 200,000 troops to our country, General Su has been holding Surabaya City for many months, and the two sides have been in contact, and it is unknown how many people will guard this place at the moment."
Two hundred thousand?!
Jian Zhizhi's heart sank, this total number was a little scary.
I don't know how many people are left in the Lin Kingdom, but Su Qi's is clear.
Su Qi said in the shop before that he was trapped in Surabaya City and there were only 5,000 soldiers left under his command, but even if he concealed it, this number would definitely not be too high.
In this comparison, Jian Zhizhi only felt that his scalp was numb.
At the same time, Jian Zhizhi also had doubts in his heart, when this Lin Kingdom had already gained the upper hand after the killing, instead of continuing to attack other cities, what would he do around Surabaya City?
Is it just to trap a Su Qi?
Or they also suffered heavy losses in the process of fighting Su Qi, and they needed time to adjust, and waited for food and grass support.
The food needed by a team of 200,000 people is not a problem that can be solved by a few thousand catties or a few thousand catties.
Maybe trapping Su Qi is just a passing, and it is also a bargaining chip in the negotiation of Linguo.
After all, it took many months to fail to take Surabaya City, and it is indeed not the best strategy to continue to attack other cities, and it is the right way to hurry up and ask for benefits while gaining the upper hand.
Chen Dongfeng saw that Jian Zhizhi didn't speak, so he said again:
"We went into the mountain in the middle of the night, and it was only an hour before we met the people of Linguo."
The latter situation can be imagined.
Lin Guo would definitely not want to see Su Qi receive support at this time.
Jian Zhizhi heard the voice of his words, and only felt that the future was completely hopeless.
Jian Zhizhi: "Doesn't the imperial court have any support?" ”
It stands to reason that it shouldn't.
Chen Dongfeng sneered lightly: "How do we know this?" Didn't hear anything. ”
Jian Zhizhi listened to it, and his heart was cool and cool.
No wonder Su Qi wants to place an order in the shop, this court is afraid that it will not be able to count on it.
Realizing this, Jian Zhizhi's heart became more complicated, and he sighed secretly.
Jian Zhizhi: "Pack your things, change into their clothes, and keep walking." ”
