"Congjia, is what happened really like what Huangfu Jixun said? He fought with Zhao Kuangyin so wonderfully?"

Li Congjia pouted and said, "How is it possible? Let's go together and come back together, he can fight for so long? However, Huangfu Jixun should still have made a move with Zhao Kuangyin, and he fought for a while, after all, he had forced Zhao Kuangyin to the third form of the Quartet's magic skills, and the first two styles should have been used. It's not easy, and with my skills, it's impossible to last that long. However, Zhao Kuangyin's Quartet Rulai magic skills are really powerful, except for the famous top masters of the contemporary era, no one should be his opponent. ”

"If Zhao Kuangyin really learns the magic trick of the Miao Fa Yin, there is indeed no one to stop him. After all, if Zhao Kuangyin's skills are high enough, even Lei Hong may not be his opponent. Li Hongji said: "But if you think about it carefully, Lei Hong's pole transformation hand may be able to crack this trick, but it is not necessarily." It is rumored that as long as the pole hand is used well, there is no trick in the world that cannot be broken. ”

"That's true in theory, but it's not that easy in practice. The pole hand is based on the 8864 hexagrams, of which there are more than 10 million changes. To crack a move with the pole hand, you must understand this move, not to say that you can crack it by just using a hexagram, it takes a long time to study the move and hexagram. Li Congjia said: "Lei Hong is very talented, no matter what move martial arts he can watch a few times, so Lei Hong can create his own extreme hand, but if Lei Hong has not seen this move, he can't use hexagrams to crack it." Of course, there is one person who can do it, and that is Zongxin...... Zong Xin's talent is higher than that of his father Lei Hong, even if he uses the move in front of Zong Xin for the first time, he can find the corresponding hexagram to crack, compared to Zong Xin's use of the pole hand is more proficient. ”

As soon as they mentioned Zongxin Li Hongji and Li Jing, they felt furious in their hearts, because they were really afraid of Zongxin, because the relationship between Zongxin and Guo Wei was so good, if it weren't for the fact that Guo Wei was dead, Zongxin would have assisted a little...... I'm afraid that the Southern Tang Dynasty is gone.

Not to mention Zongxin, even the Daoist of Wuyazi can easily think of several ways to break through Shouzhou. Although it seems that Shouzhou is indestructible on the surface, it is nothing at all in the face of a world master of that level.

"Don't talk about Zongxin, let's talk about Zhao Kuangyin...... Li Hongji said: "Zhao Kuangyin's martial arts are indeed strong, although General Huangfu said passionately, but this battle was actually lost by him, right?" ”

"Yes~ It should be General Huangfu who lost. However, Zhao Kuangyin's move only touched General Huangfu slightly, so he didn't have much real anger. By the time we went ashore, almost half of his true qi had been eroded, so if we continued to fight, we would definitely lose. ”

Li Jing said: "I can't imagine that General Huangfu can't beat Zhao Kuangyin, this kid is indeed a tricky person." But fortunately, now that the Zhou army has been trapped east of the Huai River, as long as we delay for a few more days, as soon as our sailors arrive, the Zhou army will definitely pay a heavy price, and let them know that my Datang is not easy to mess with. ”

"Father, we should care about the movements of the Zhou army next. There are still two or three days to go, and although it is impossible for them to rebuild the pontoon bridge, they will not wait for death in place, and will definitely think of other ways. Li Congjia said: "Although it will not be forced to cross the river, there will definitely be action." ”

"Of course...... There is a wise general in the Zhou army, which is good, that is, Fan Qian. As the son-in-law of Lei Wangfu, Fan Zhen's ability is still very strong. Although the situation at this time was very unfavorable to the Zhou army, Fan Zhen would definitely think of a way to at least minimize the losses of the Zhou army. ”

Li Jing said: "In fact, the lowest loss is to forcibly cross the river, connected by only a rope, and let the soldiers pull this rope to swim over, even if they can't swim, they can barely pass." But what to do...... It will indeed bring a lot of losses, I don't know how Zhou Jun will choose. ”

The three fathers and sons sat together and waited for Zhou Jun's next decision, and they had nothing serious to do now. Although the next thing is very important, the role of these three people is not really big. Li Jing ordered the navy to be dispatched in advance, and Li Congjia's role has also been played, although Li Hongji is working hard, he is really useless now.

Although it was a man fighting, the three fathers and sons all felt that it would depend on the will of heaven next. It's good to say that they can mobilize Shouzhou's troops, but Liu Renzhen is a dead eye, and Li Jing has no right to mobilize troops here.

What's more, Shouzhou's little strength is useless, after all, the Zhou army is 200,000 troops, and if the soldiers of Shouzhou dare to go out, they will fight directly and then occupy Shouzhou...... Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? Therefore, Shouzhou's troops could not be mobilized in the first place, and they could only use troops from other places.

In fact, even if there were soldiers, it was impossible to storm the Zhou army, so Li Jing was not in a hurry to transfer troops from other places to Shouzhou. Let the Zhou army be trapped first, and then slowly encroach, after all, it is an army of 200,000, and it would be best if they were forced to jump over the wall to storm Shouzhou.

Of course, this is unlikely, and even Li Jing himself thinks it is impossible. At most, the Zhou army went to attack other places, how could it be possible to attack Shouzhou......

"By the way, do you think the Zhou army will attack other cities, and want to delay time after occupying the cities? If they defend a city, we can't do anything. ”

Li Jing suddenly thought of this possibility, and Li Congjia and Li Hongji nodded one after another. This is indeed very likely, because the defense of Shouzhou is strong, and it is impossible for them to storm it, but several nearby cities can be forcibly captured. Since the defense of Luzhou and Yingzhou is not strong, and the soldiers in the city are less than 10,000, what if the Zhou army turns to attack these two cities?

"Congjia, the order went down to order the five cities of Luzhou, Yingzhou, Shuzhou, Xuanzhou, and Lu'an to empty the grain and grass, and never leave a grain of rice for the Zhou army. If they dare to attack it, we will dare to besiege it. When the time comes, I will transfer a position, and I don't believe that the 200,000 Zhou army can still conjure up food. ”

"Yes. Li Congjia immediately drafted an order and prepared to send the news to these five cities. Only these five cities near Shouzhou are close to each other and are easy to attack. But in fact, even if the Zhou army attacked these five cities, it was useless to defend them, this is very clear to everyone, Chai Rong would not be so stupid.

Now the grain and grass of the Zhou army have been burned, and they will not be able to hold out for long without grain and grass. This is also what Li Jing believes is the key to success. In any case, the appetite of 200,000 people is not small, and it is not easy to feed so many people. Li Jing is deeply aware of this......

Li Jing usually led tens of thousands of troops, not more than 100,000 at most, and there were only so many when he attacked Chu State. This number is naturally not as good as the 200,000 people of the Great Zhou army, but this number of soldiers has already given Li Jing a headache, and just such a hundred thousand mouths can scare people to death.

There was not much food and water in the barracks, so the more the soldiers ate, the more they ate, the more they could eat. How much grain did the 200,000 Zhou army need to feed each meal? At the end of the day, at least 100,000 catties of grain need to be eaten.

A sack of rice and noodles is at most a hundred catties, that is, it takes more than a thousand bags of grain to feed Zhou Jun's big mouth. And that's just a day's worth of consumption. Now that the grain and grass of the Zhou army are burned, as long as they don't cross the Huai River, they can't return to Xuzhou...... That would be a disaster. Not to mention a frontal attack, someone will automatically surrender after a few days of starvation.

Therefore, the three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. When there are more people, eating is the biggest problem. As long as the soldiers can't eat enough for two or three meals, they can't fight, which Li Jing really knows very well, because he has experienced countless times of lack of food and grass.

Don't look at the fact that the Zhou army now has an army of 200,000, as long as there is no food in the barracks, after a few days of starvation, 200,000 people will not be able to defeat tens of thousands of troops. Not to mention going to other places to transfer troops, the soldiers stationed in Shouzhou alone can kill them all.

Hunger is always the worst enemy of mankind, and people can do anything as long as they are hungry. At that time, there is no need to attack at all, there will naturally be people in the Zhou army to rebel, and they will be able to fight themselves when the time comes.

Although it is too good to burn grain and grass, even if they don't burn Zhou Jun's grain and grass, they can't last long. And Li Jing never figured out who burned Zhou Jun's grain and grass.

At that time, only Huangfu Jixun and 500 elite soldiers were sent out, and only about 400 people came back in the end. The remaining nearly a hundred soldiers were either swept away by the river or died in a battle with the guards. But their task is to destroy the pontoons, not for them to burn grain and grass......

Could it be that some soldiers were left alone, and he thought that he was dead anyway, so he simply ran to burn the grain and grass of the Zhou army and make the last contribution to the Tang Dynasty?

The more Li Jing thought about it, the happier he became, this was simply a godsend, and this was a strategic victory. Although Shouzhou was not as strong as the Zhou army, after defending the city, it finally ushered in a turning point. In the end, he made a good move, broke the pontoon bridge of the Zhou army, burned the grain and grass of the Zhou army, and forced them into a desperate situation.

Without spending a single soldier to kill the 200,000 troops of the Great Zhou, this matter will definitely be famous for centuries and a good story through the ages. In the end, it can unify the Central Plains and counterattack the Khitan......

Li Jing was so excited that he almost trembled all over, although he was not young, Li Jing really wanted to go to the Qinglou to find a dozen girls to vent now, otherwise there would be nowhere to release his impulses.

Of course, Li Jing couldn't have imagined that Zhao Kuangyin deliberately burned the grain and grass after knowing that the pontoon bridge was broken. However, Zhao Kuangyin is not a fool, the real grain and grass have long been transferred, Zhao Kuangyin has already prepared a place, as long as Nantang makes any move, he will burn this place, and then say that the grain and grass are burned.

It was impossible for Nantang's spies to find out Zhao Kuangyin's subtle movements, at most he knew what was going on in the barracks. Zhao Kuangyin actually did not announce the news, but tried his best to hide it. But who doesn't know about so many people fighting fires? Zhao Kuangyin deliberately didn't let people ask about it.

After burning down the camp used to replace grain and grass, Zhao Kuangyin ordered people to spread the news that the grain and grass were burned in the camp, and such rumors spread faster than the official announcement, and 200,000 people knew that the grain and grass were burned in half a day, so the army's spirit was unstable.

The spies of the Southern Tang Dynasty soon transmitted the news back to Shouzhou, and what Li Jing saw was only a superficial phenomenon. But the most attractive thing is often the surface, which is why Li Jing is so excited.
