After entering the city, Yuan Qi ordered Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to lead two hundred soldiers to arrest Zou Yue's entire family, young and old. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xun Luo and Tian Mou reorganized the county soldiers in Beiping under the instructions of Yuan Qi, eliminated the old, weak, sick and disabled, and finally selected more than 3,000 elites. Integrate these 3,000 elites into an army.

In addition, the foot soldiers who followed Yuan Qi from Jijun, after counting, there were still 800 elites who lived for the rest of the war, and Yuan Qi reorganized these 800 elites into an army, claiming to return to the camp, and ordered Zhang Chong to command and train them. As for the Tiangui Camp under the original command of Zhang Chong, it was handed over to Zhao Hu to command.

After a busy round of inventory and reorganization, Yuan Qi liquidated the current combatable soldiers, including 800 days to return to the camp, 800 places to return to the camp, and 3,000 foot soldiers. There are only nearly 5,000 people at full duty. It was a far cry from the 80,000-strong army of the King of Thorntamun. Because Zou Yue deliberately concealed the military situation, Yuan Qi couldn't figure out where the army of the Thorn Tower was now, and maybe he would come to the city tomorrow.

Therefore, although his body was very tired after a series of battles, Yuan Qi did not have the heart to sleep at all, and summoned all the civil and military ministers under his command to the Taishou Mansion to discuss the military situation.

"The state pastor still doesn't know about the Zou Yue rebellion, and even if he does, the army has not yet been assembled, and it is impossible to support us in a hurry. So we are in a situation where there are enemy troops in front and no reinforcements in the back. Everyone, tell us what you think. Yuan Qi was the first to speak.

Tian Mou thought for a while and said, "Lord, I have counted the grain and grass in the city, which is enough to make up for the baggage burned by our army before, and there is even a surplus, which is enough for our army for three months." Even if you stick to the city, you are not afraid of running out of food and grass. ”

Yuan Qi pondered for a while, and said slowly: "In this battle, you can't hold on, but you can't take the initiative to attack, our army has less than 5,000 people, but the Thorn Tower has 80,000 people, the difference in strength between the two sides is huge, and our army can only outwit." Yuan Qi set the tone for the operational policy.

Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and Zhang Chong glanced at each other, and then they were all at a loss.

Looking at the expressions of the other people, Xun slightly lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Lord, there is a plan, maybe it will work." But it takes a bold and careful man to carry out this strategy. ”

Yuan Qi sighed with interest, revealing a deferential look. Xun Luo continued: "This plan is called inviting you into the urn. It's easy to say, it is to choose a person who is bold and careful and brave to take responsibility, pretend to be Zou Yue's envoy to the Thorn Tower camp, and give clever words to the King of Thorn Tower, lure King Meng to come to the city, and then I pretend to be Zou Yue's subordinates, set up an ambush at the banquet, and capture King Meng. ”

Yuan Qi thought about it carefully, and asked while thinking: "Xun Luo, your plan is feasible, but once the Thorn Tower people see through the news of the impersonation of the messenger, or the rout of the Thorn Tower's 20,000 forwards, and their scouts find out, this plan will be frustrated." ”

The crowd fell silent.

After a while, Tian Mou stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "My lord, I am willing to pretend to be the envoy of Zou Yue, go to the camp of the Thorn Tower, and lure the King of Thorn Tower Meng to come to the city. ”

After hearing this, a shock appeared on Yuan Qi's face: "Tian Mou! You are a henchman and sibling of a certain person! How can you pretend to be Zou Yue's envoy? If the news leaks, your life will not be guaranteed!"

Tian Mou said with a firm expression: "The lord treats me like a mountain, and it is difficult to repay the lord's great kindness, since he joined the lord's command, his strategy is not as good as Mr. Xun Luo, and his martial arts are far inferior to Zhang Chong, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu. The lord will call him to go. ”

Yuan Qi was just about to speak, but Xun Luo interjected and asked, "I don't know how to persuade King Meng when Tian Mou is in the Thorn Tower camp?"

Tian Mou replied: "When I arrived in the Thorn Tower camp, I said that Zou Yue set up a wine banquet to lure the State Pastor to come, and then set up an ambush at the banquet to capture the State Mu, presumably the Thorn Tower people are only good at fighting bravely, and lack of strategy, I heard that the State Mu Lord was captured by Zou Yue, and the King of Meng must have personally come to talk to Zou Yue about the conditions, Zou Yue must have committed treason, it must also be because of fame and fortune, trying to get a piece of the pie when the Thorn Tower attacked Youzhou. And once the road of treason is embarked, it is difficult to turn back, and the Thorn Tower people should not have any doubts. ”

After listening to Tian Mou's account, everyone present was stunned. Yuan Qi said to Tian Mou in a deep tone: "Sir, this matter is entrusted to you, and when it is done, I will personally toast you!"

Tian Mou held back his tears and saluted with his fists: "Even if the plot is dead, it will definitely fulfill the master's entrustment! Without further ado, I will take the first step." After speaking, he didn't wait for anyone else to answer, turned around and walked out.

Everyone present looked at Tian Mou, who was resolute, and admired it in their hearts, and stood up one after another, and bowed to Tian Mou: "Take care, sir!"
