Chapter 18 Soldiers, Tricks

Seven days later, Chongju sent 200,000 troops to quickly besiege Jeju, and Jeju could not escape the battle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis further confirms King Zhou Mu's speculation that Jeju is empty, otherwise how would the 100,000 Zhao army not dare to confront the 200,000 rebel army head-on? King Zhou Mu will not attack the city, as long as Jeju is surrounded, the grain and grass will not leave Wanju and the siege will be lifted naturally. Jeju is trapped deep in the interior of Liuzhou, and for Zhao State, this is an enclave! Conquering the enclave is a taboo for soldiers, and after a long siege, it will naturally not be self-defeating!

The situation in the city of Wanzhou was bad, and suddenly there were 60,000 more militiamen, and the food and grass immediately dropped sharply! Meng Da had received the news that Tiangong had besieged Jeju, and it stands to reason that Zhao's army should retreat quickly. But for some reason, three days have passed, and the Zhao army is still besieging Wanzhou! The Zhao army on the Jeju side refused to fight, and the light cavalry was discharged at night to constantly harass them, making it difficult for Tiangong to be distracted. Meng Da couldn't figure out if this Zhao Jun had other secret food channels?!

Outside Wanzhou City, Zhao Jun military camp.

"Hehe, little brother, how much grain and grass is there in Wanzhou City?"

Don't ask the spy you just caught with a smile, who knows that this spy has a resolute attitude and twists his head and doesn't say a word.

"I think you're toasting and don't eat and drink!"

The lieutenant next to him picked up the horsewhip and was about to whip it, but Mo Yaowen waved his hand to stop him.

"Come on, serve food to the little brother. ”

The spy knew that this was a sugar-coated cannonball from the enemy, and he laughed in his heart, "Do you think I'll tell you if I give me some benefits?" I'll just eat this and won't tell you anything!

But for several days in a row, he was very polite to him, and even let him meet with other captives and treat each other politely.

"I know that you resent Zhao Guo, and the people of Xiaozong's own private escort and Qishi Gang are miserable. This is the traitor in the court who blinded the eyes of the saint and concealed the disaster caused by the strange stone gang, and now the emperor has already ordered the stop of the strange stone gang and the removal of He Ling. People who are not saints and sages can be without fault, and knowing mistakes can improve greatly. I don't blame you for your rebellion, I know there must not be much food left in the city, so go back today and bring some food to your family. ”

The captives were stunned, this Zhao army not only ate and drank well, but also asked them to take it back to their families? Could it be that King Zhao has really changed? The captives were silent, and some thought that it was impossible for King Zhao to get better, and resolutely refused to reveal the news. But some people's hearts were touched.

Finally, a captive quietly came to the tent and asked to see him.

"General, there is not much grain and grass left in the city, it is all controlled by Meng Da, and the people have long run out of food. It's almost cannibal!"

"Man eats man! This is immoral! Alas, a war can bring such a disaster. Someone is here! Orders are to be cut down trees, catapults to be built, and food to be delivered to the people of the city!"

The captives were about to cry when they heard this, he knew the cruelty of war, the three armies had not moved, and the grain and grass went first! This shows how important the grain and grass were! But this merciful general actually wanted to divide the grain.

"The Zhao army is attacking the city!"

Meng Da was shocked, only to see dozens of catapults under the city throwing in unison. But the projectile attacked not the city walls, but the city?

Tie Zhu is a citizen of Wanzhou, he has not eaten for four days, and he is dying of hunger. At this moment, a thing suddenly flew over, only to hear a miserable scream from the iron pillar, and was stoned to death by this flying disaster!

"It's rice, it's rice!"

Before Meng Da could figure it out, the cheers of the people came from inside the city! Meng Da had been worrying about food these days, but now that the food had come, he was even more frightened. Not good! Zhao Jun must have found out that there was a shortage of surplus food in Wanzhou, so as to disturb the people's hearts! Meng Da hurriedly led people forward.

"No! these rice Zhao Jun is in trouble with the army, and you can't eat it!"

"General Meng, the food has been snatched away by your soldiers, and we are all about to starve to death! Now that we have food to eat, it doesn't matter who he is! The villagers say yes or not!"

"Yes!"

This immediately caused a dispute, and the people of Wanzhou have long been dissatisfied, and now Zhao Junbai sent food to Meng Da and didn't let them eat, how could this be agreed?

"Zhao Jun's rice has been confiscated! Violators will be killed!"

......

"Mo Shuai, Wanzhou Guard General Meng Da sent an envoy to negotiate with you. ”

Mo had to ask out of the barracks, only to see a team of men and horses escorting something to the middle of the battlefield. This is the usual practice of the two armies in war negotiations, and neither of them can help the other when they meet each other.

"Tell your general! If you want to fight, you will fight! Hugh will throw food again, my righteous army will not eat your stinky grain of Zhao State!"

After speaking, the Meng Da envoy rode away and left the grain that the Zhao army had thrown into the city before. The envoy of Zhao Jun conveyed Meng Da's words and brought back food. Don't ask, since you won't be allowed to throw it, then don't throw it yet.

The food is not thrown away, but don't ask and still don't attack. After three days, Zhao Jun suddenly threw food again! After three days of starvation, the people had already gone crazy, and even if Meng Da did not dare to stop the hungry people, he swallowed his anger for several days, and Zhao Jun did nothing but throw food every day. The prisoners who were released by Zhao Jun before also disturbed the hearts of the army, saying that General Zhao Jun was very good to them, and so on. So Meng Da ordered the prisoners to be thrown into the prison, and the people were even more lamented. As soon as Meng Da saw that Wanzhou was going on like this, he would be self-defeating!

"Pass me the war book!

The envoy of the righteous army rode his horse and whipped up, and raised a puff of sand and soil to go to the Zhao army.

"Mo Shuai! The rebel envoy wants to see us! I want to make an appointment with our army to fight tomorrow. ”

As soon as he heard that the old turtle was going to fight, Quan Tianchao was immediately overjoyed.

"It's still Mo Lao Gaoming, forcing this old Wang Ba to fight! Okay, good, tomorrow we must wipe out this group of chaotic ministers and thieves!"

"Let the messenger go back, I am not there. ”

As a result, don't ask a word, and Quan Tianchao's jaw couldn't close in surprise. Why didn't you fight again? I finally had the opportunity to force this old man out of the fight?

"Mo Lao, you...... What do you mean by that?"

"Hehe, what is the prime minister panicking, I've been waiting for so many days, so what's the matter with a few more days?"

Two days later, Meng Da was upset. Don't ask and don't fight, and just stir the morale of the army every day, how can this be good. It stands to reason that after so long, the grain and grass that don't need to be asked has long been empty, and it is long overdue to go back to the relief state!

"Yinzhi led 100,000 elite soldiers to come to help!

At this moment, the loud voice spread like rolling thunder throughout Wanzhou City!

Mingzhou Zhao Yinzhi led the army to help, and the grain and grass alone are good for a long team!"

No wonder you don't want to ask if you can support it for so long! It turned out that Zhao Jun of Mingzhou secretly escorted grain and grass for him, no wonder he was not in a hurry to return to Yizhou!

"Another 100,000 Zhao Jun is here, how can this be good?"

There was a panic in the Wanzhou City army, and the people had long been looking forward to the Zhao army coming in, so that they would have enough to eat!

"God, why don't you come and save me!"

Meng Da wept bitterly, he knew that it was not to blame. Mingzhou has long run out of food, and Zhao Yinzhi also made a surprise attack on light cavalry and defeated Mingzhou.

Counting Zhao Yin's grain and grass is far inferior to the capture of Jeju, there is only 70,000 soldiers with the rebel army. Therefore, it should be that you should not ask for relief in Mingzhou, but who would have thought that Zhao Jun would secretly arrive in Mingzhou?

Several black shadows slowly sneaked in, and a cold light cut off Meng Da's head!

......

"Mo Lao is really powerful, far better than Yinzhi. The soldiers who surrendered without a single soldier and without a fight, admired and admired. ”

"Hehe, where is it, the rebels have just captured Wanzhou. The people's hearts were undecided and they sent troops to Myeongju, and at this time they annihilated the rebellious army in Myeongju and cut off the grain and grass in Jeju. Wanzhou will naturally be shaken and uneasy, and at this time, if you send troops to help the demonstration city, someone will naturally kill Meng Da. ”

"Then what if Tiangong hadn't besieged Jeju and came to fight you?

"Soldiers, treacherous ways, strange soldiers are strange, there are risks. Judging from the record of King Zhou Mu in history, he will most likely choose to besiege Jeju and set up an ambush halfway to fight, because this is the most beneficial to him. But if the old man miscalculated, I would have been ready to die. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he looked in the direction of Jeju. He knew that the next battle was the real battle!
