Chapter 432: Rumors, Prepare for War

A day later, the civil chaos in Jinzhou turned into a pot of porridge.

The news spread quickly, and many people in the city had just gone out in the morning, and they had already heard the sound of arguments on the streets, and many of them were angry, roaring and accusing Zhao Kuan of being a straw bag general, and the 70,000 army in his hands ended up almost annihilated, and he didn't even have a head-to-head confrontation with the Tang army.

But more voices are still worried, after all, they are the people of the Mo family, if the Mo army has suffered a big defeat, then where will the Tang army attack next? Presumably, it should be Jinzhou that bears the brunt, right?

You know, these days, there has been a lot of news about how brutal the Tang army is in various places, that Xiang Chu is not called the overlord, but it is better to call people to slaughter, he kills people without blinking, and takes pleasure in slaughtering the city.

Someone said tremblingly: "Then what should we do? The Tang army has nearly 100,000 troops, and if we really want to fight, where can we hold it in Jinzhou?"

"I don't know. Someone sighed and said: "I heard that many big families in the city are already planning to flee with their families, but they don't want to think about it, maybe all the soldiers outside are coming to the city, where can they flee? In Jinzhou City, there are still city walls to protect them, and when they leave Jinzhou, they are afraid that they will die faster." Have you ever heard of the male loser's girl? is the current head of the male loser......"

"However, this public loser girl is not very old, how can she become a family......? It's better for Lord Gongyi to go early, if he is still here, our people in Jinzhou can feel much more at ease......"

"That's no use. No matter how powerful the public loser is, he can't personally lead the troops to fight the Tang army......"

“......”

Inside the public loser.

"The three granaries in the east of the city have been refilled, and the crossbow arrows, arrows, and wooden bars on the city have been prepared, but the fire oil is still a little short......"

Gong Yinxue listened to Jiading's report, her fingers unconsciously swiped lightly on the table, and her movements suddenly stopped: "How much is it missing?"

"This ......," replied the housekeeper cautiously, "about five ...... Five hundred pounds. ”

Gong Yinxue nodded, her face did not show the slightest anger, but a few worried lights flashed in her eyes, she didn't know what Tang Jun planned to do next, Zhao Kuan's reinforcements heard that the whole army had been wiped out, and now Jinzhou was isolated and helpless, so she could only find a way to save herself.

"There is no shortage of things to defend the city, and it will be too late to find out that the preparation is insufficient when the war is together, even if it is to be made. She raised her head, looked at the family, and said, "In this way, you inform General Liao first, give me half a day, and I will arrange for someone to collect the oil, and then I will personally send the things over." ”

"Alright, alright. The family raised his eyebrows and nodded incessantly.

These days, their servants and guards often talk in private, and almost everyone says that this public Yinxue's words and deeds are very similar to the old man who died of illness, treating people with generosity and courtesy, and doing things reasonably.

This can be regarded as a reassuring pill for everyone, after all, everyone who is a subordinate hopes that the master is a reasonable and humble character, so that their lives will be better.

Of course, they also know very well that Yinxue is not a forgiving person, her majesty is hidden in her heart, like a mountain leopard, and it will hide somewhere to rest and eat on weekdays, because there are no other animals that threaten her territory.

But as soon as something invades, she will immediately show her hideous minions and run out of the darkness, and a deadly bite will follow.

Just a few days ago, there were a few family members who relied on themselves to be the old servants of the public loser, and treated the grain and grass that should have been sent to the barracks a little lazy, which caused a dissatisfaction in the army.

After that, whether it was the maid or the official sergeant, they all had a little awe of Yinxue, and no one dared to despise this young female head of the family.

When the family retreated quickly, Gong Yinxue walked into the inner room, stretched out a hand to open the curtain, and on a table of eight immortals, Gao Yishui, Abu, and Qin Ke were present.

Now that Yinxue is in charge of the entire public loser, Gao Yishui and others naturally don't have to hide it, although the public loser also has some disdainful voices, but he doesn't dare to accuse him of anything at will.

As soon as Yinxue sat down, a crisp female voice came from outside the door, and Qin Ke could hear that it was Fluttershy, and then saw a few clouds of sadness on Yinxue's face.

Fluttershy comes in and talks to each other for a while, their eyes solemn, they've heard so much bad news in the past few days, but they rarely show such looks.

"What's wrong?" Qin Ke asked strangely.

Gong Yinxue shook his head and sighed: "Originally, I had already blocked the news, but I don't know where the rumors came from, saying that the Tang Army was going to attack Jinzhou soon, and it was even more outrageous that the grain and grass of the Tang Army were made of human flesh of Zhao Kuan's 70,000 army...... Seeing that people's hearts are in turmoil, it is not easy to appease the fear. ”

"I really didn't expect that the Mo family's 70,000 troops, more than 30,000 people died in the fire overnight, and the whereabouts of the main general Zhao Kuan are unknown. Gao Yishui sighed, "I have heard of Xiang Chu's name before, and now this war is together, which makes people see his talent, compared to him, Zhao Kuan is just a house cat that came out of a greenhouse, and he thinks he is a little smart, but in the eyes of that person, heh, it is worthless." ”

"The name of the overlord is not just a word "overlord", if Xiang Chu is really a reckless man, how can he be qualified to be the commander of the Southern Army......" At the mention of this, Yin Xue felt a chill in her heart, and she said worriedly: "With the strength in his hands, plus the power of this big victory just now, if he really comes to attack Jinzhou, I am afraid that Jinzhou will not last for a month...... I just hope that his eyes won't be staring at us in Jinzhou. ”

In fact, when she said this, it was quite a bit rebellious, after all, Jinzhou is a county of the Mo family, the officials of Jinzhou are the courtiers of the Mo family, and the army of Jinzhou is also the army of the imperial court.

With Jinzhou's military strength, not to mention resisting the Tang army, she can only look like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered when she closes the city gate and holds on, and at this time, she will not be a hero.

"What do you think...... It's still too optimistic. Gao Yishui shattered her illusions in a light voice, "In my opinion, the next target of the Tang Army must be Jinzhou." ”

He looked at Qin Ke and smiled helplessly: "To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Sinan of the Five Elements was still in the furnace, I would have wanted to leave now." ”

Qin Ke glanced at him, and motioned for Gong Yinxue to sit next to him, how could he shamelessly retreat in front of others.

Gong Yinxue didn't care, his eyes widened and asked, "Why do you say that Jinzhou will be his next target?"

Gao Yishui said: "This is just my personal intuition, this time the Tang State and the Canghai Alliance have gathered more than 400,000 troops, intending to subvert the Mo family in one fell swoop, Zhao Kuan has lost his front hooves this time to the point that he can't even see the horse's tail, and Zhao Kuan's soldiers and horses were originally going to come to aid Chi Jinzhou, since Xiang Chu thought of cutting off the reinforcements first, how could he let go of Jinzhou, a border town that is now isolated and helpless?"

"There's just one thing that I find odd. Gao Yishui pondered: "Since the Tang State and the Canghai allied army, the Tang army fought so freely, but why has there been no news from the Canghai side? In terms of the strength of the army and horses, Canghai will only be stronger than the Tang State, and the momentum will be greater than that of the Tang army, right? But you can see that up to now, is there any news about the Canghai army? There is also the rumored tiger and leopard cavalry that swept thousands of armies, such a cavalry like a group of fierce beasts, I heard that a charge, it tore the Mo family's 50,000 infantry army formation to shreds...... How could Cao Meng be able to endure his temperament this time, so silently?"

"Silent beast......" Abu thought back to what he had learned in the Tai Academy, and said softly, "I'm afraid there is only one possibility, and that is that it is waiting for the right time, waiting for it to show its claws and bite the prey it really wants." ”

"What will be the real prey?" Gao Yishui asked with a smile.

Abu thought for a while: "I don't know, but it must not be Jinzhou, maybe ...... Maybe it's Jicheng. ”

Gao Yishui's eyes lit up and looked at Qin Ke: "Look at it, Abu Ke is much more powerful than you, he is now speaking like a general, look at you again......"

Qin Ke was dissatisfied: "I'm not interested in these, and I don't plan to lead troops to fight as a general, I just want to find the master, and then continue to go back to my Daoxiang Village and farm!"

"My God, still farming? What can you grow?Can you grow a bean seedling that can grow to the sky?" Gao Yishui squinted, his eyes full of ridicule, "Oh, you said you, wouldn't it be better to bring Master to Jinzhou when the time comes?"

"Of course. Gong Yinxue's heart moved, and she smiled at Gao Yishui with some gratitude, and turned to carefully observe Qin Ke's expression, as if she was a little shy and expectant.

Qin Ke's head shook like a rattle, and his hands were also swinging: "That's not good......

The smile on Gong Yinxue's face froze for a moment, and her eyes drooped.

"Ahem. Gao Yishui looked at the two faces in front of him, and finally didn't say more, but still pulled the topic back to the original battle, "In fact, in my opinion, the reason why the beasts are quiet is because they need to get close enough to their prey, have they ever seen a tiger hunting? Although they are powerful, it doesn't mean that they will really rush straight over stupidly, they will carefully hide and slowly approach the prey, until all the prey's escape routes are blocked, and then they will show their minions...... The tiger and leopard ride such an existence, if it does not move, it is enough, and if it moves, the sound is like thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth, and if the Mo family is not swept away, how can it be worthy of Cao Meng's years of smashing pots and selling iron for support?"

Abu frowned, vaguely aware of the deeper meaning in Gao Yishui's words: "Do you think...... Even if the Tang Army's movement is so big, it is still only a feint?"

"If you want to cover up the thunder, you have to use a landslide-like sound......" Gao Yishui said: "Tang Jun next, the movement will only get bigger and bigger." If Jinzhou is successfully captured, it is natural that this place can be used as a foundation to lay a nail on this side of the Mo family, and at the same time, what Canghai secretly wants to do will be more foolproof. ”

Abu nodded and said, "Then what will the sea do next?"

"I don't know. Gao Yishui lazily lay on the back of the chair, "If I can guess, then I don't have to change my name to Wang Xuanwei or Sun Boling......?" Even the two of them may not be able to find out the true intentions of the coalition forces of the two countries. ”

"Either way, we have to be proactive. Gong Yinxue sighed faintly: "Jinzhou is now full of 17,000 defenders, 5,000 is the Jinzhou army, and 5,000 is the original Tuntian infantry army, and these two still have some strength." The remaining 7,000 are recruited homeless, and although they have been trained, they lack actual combat and courage, so they really ...... fight."

Gong Yinxue didn't say anything further, but her somewhat lonely expression already said it all.

"What if...... What about the trick of the loser?" Gao Yishui suddenly slapped his thigh and said suddenly.
