The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 469

"It's not easy to get rid of Xue Rengui without anyone noticing in the army. It's not easy to get the map in his hands." He Zongxian waved his hand and said.

"It's not just brother-in-law who doesn't do one thing, but what do you mean?" Zhang Zhilong asked He Zongxian.

"I remember when I was recruiting soldiers in Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Shanxi. I investigated Xue Rengui, and he had a wife named Liu Yinhuan. He still lives in a cave." He Zongxian said with a smirk.

"Brother-in-law means to control his wife in order to blackmail Xue Rengui and let him be used by us." Zhang Zhilong said.

"Yes, it is said that Xue Rengui is very affectionate with his wife. As long as we can control Liu Yinhuan, he, Xue Rengui, will definitely fight against the rat." He Zongxian nodded and said.

"It's a pity, now that we are far away in Liaodong, how can we capture Liu Yinhuan?" Zhang Shigui said.

"All I need is for my father-in-law to revise a letter, and order it to be sent to Chang'an and handed over to King Jiangxia. I think he has a way to do it." He Zongxian said to Zhang Shigui.

"Okay, I'll give you a letter of divorce right away. Have someone send it to Chang'an City." Zhang Shigui nodded and said.

"Father-in-law, the person who delivers the letter must be a confidant. He must also be resourceful, otherwise it will be very difficult to send this letter to Chang'an City." He Zongxian said to Zhang Shigui.

Now that Zhang Shigui is in Jili City, if he wants to send the letter back to Chang'an, there are only two ways to go.One is the waterway when walking, and the other is to take the dry road, passing through the territory of Goguryeo.

These two roads are not so easy to walk, and warships are required to travel by water.If you are not careful on the dry road, you will fall into the hands of the Goguryeo people.

Hearing He Zongxian's words, Zhang Shigui couldn't help feeling worried for a while.After all, the messenger is not easy to find.

"Father, I have a solution. I can ask Yu Chigong to send someone to help send this letter back to Chang'an City." Zhang Zhilong said to Zhang Shigui.

"It's nonsense, that Yu Chigong wished to kill our father and son. How could he deliver the letter for us? Aren't you stretching your neck to be chopped off?" Zhang Shigui said angrily to Zhang Zhilong.

"Of course it's impossible for my father to appease his anger and do it in an open and honest manner. But if he plays a trick, the result will be different." Zhang Zilong said to Zhang Shigui.

"Bad tricks? Let me explain in detail." Zhang Shigui said to Zhang Zhilong.

"We have been piled up in front of Jili City for the past few days. However, due to the attack of Fanbing, the progress has been very slow."

"We can take this opportunity to let one of the four of us get injured by an arrow when the pile of dirt was piled up."

"And it's a highly poisonous poisonous arrow. When the time comes, my father will ask the emperor to send someone to send him to recuperate his wounds in Chang'an City. Presumably the emperor will not refuse." Zhang Zhilong said.

"Father-in-law, this is really a good plan. In this way, you won't even have to write a letter, and it will be even safer." He Zongxian nodded and said.

Zhang Zhibiao on the side said: "Father, leave this matter to me. I will definitely take what my father said to King Jiangxia."

"It just so happens that I have a kind of poison here. People who are poisoned will feel sore and weak. But it will not be fatal. As long as you take the antidote, you will be cured." Zhang Zhilong took out a medicine bottle from his arms and said to Zhang Shigui.

"In this case, we will act according to the plan tomorrow. But you must be more careful, and don't be self-defeating." Zhang Shigui nodded and agreed after thinking for a while.

"Although this can send our plan back to Chang'an, it will take a certain amount of time. During this time, we must be more careful. There must be no mistakes." Zhang Shigui said to He Zongxian.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Zhibiao took his people to the front of Jili City and piled up a mountain of earth.So by coincidence, he was shot in the left shoulder by a feathered arrow.

Zhang Zhibiao, who was hit by an arrow, was carried back to the Pioneer Battalion by the soldiers.A military doctor who accompanied the army took out the arrows on his body.

After the military doctor took out the arrow, Zhang Shigui asked anxiously.Whether his son was seriously injured or not.

The military doctor said to Zhang Shigui: "General Pioneer, the arrow that the little general hit did not hurt his vitals. But the arrow was poisonous, so the little general fell into a coma."

Then Zhang Shigui staged a big show according to the prepared script.Finally, Li Shimin's consent was obtained, and he was sent back to Dengzhou by warship, and then sent back to Chang'an for recuperation.

After seeing off Zhang Zhibiao, Zhang Shigui's hanging heart finally let go.Mountains of dirt piled up day after day.Finally, a month later, a mound of earth that was about the same height as the city wall was piled up in front of Jili City.

During this period of time, Xue Rengui has been commanding and training the Longmen formation as He Zongxian's entourage.It can be said that this made Xue Rengui very aggrieved.

If it was the past, this He Zongxian would have been sitting in the tent long ago, how could he come out and be exposed to the wind and sun with Xue Rengui.

But now is a critical moment, so naturally there is no room for any mistakes.So even if the wound on his buttocks hasn't healed yet.Still gritted his teeth and insisted.

……

"Marshal, now the pile of earth in front of Jili City has been completed. Our army can attack the city." Zhang Shigui came to the tent of the Chinese Army and said to Yu Chigong.

"Okay, since that's the case, then the whole army will prepare to storm Jili City in three days. It will definitely be captured in a single battle." Yu Chigong said.

So the whole army began to prepare, and the chariots, catapults, and ladders were all ready.Just wait for the whole army to attack the city three days later.

The dirt hill in front of Jili City does not cover the entire city wall.It's just that on both sides of the city gate, there are two seven or eight feet long earth mountains piled up.

Use this to suppress the Fan soldiers on the city wall, and use it in conjunction with large troops climbing the city wall.So on this earth mountain, archery towers and fortifications were built.

Looking at the dirt mountain that had formed in front of him, Xiao Yang in Jili City said to Zhou Tianya: "It seems that Jili City cannot be defended."

"Now we have held on for more than a month, even if we lose this Jili City now. The Generalissimo will not blame us."

"But what we should do now is to delay the time as much as possible. Of course, we must try our best to preserve the strength of our army. At critical moments, we can abandon the city and leave." Zou Tianya said to Xiao Yang.

"It is estimated that the Tang army will attack the city in the next two days. Since we are going to abandon the city, we will first transport all the people and supplies in the city to Shicheng. Then we will use soil to kill the city gate." Xiao Yang said after thinking about it.

"General Xiao really has a clever plan. Not only that, we can secretly bury kerosene and other flammable objects in the city. After the Tang army enters the city, we will give him a fire to burn Jili City." Zhou Tianya said to Xiao Yang.
