Looking to Chang'an from the North

He is bound to set up many obstacles in Hankou to prevent Yunji from attacking the city.

But if there are quite a few people provoking the city every day, and there are still signs of siege from time to time, but one day he is shocked to hear that Qinguan is trapped, and most of Yuyang's troops are concentrated in Qinguan.

However, the food and grass for the soldiers attacking the city under Qinguan was provided by his Si Nanxian, so he would definitely not sit idly by.

"At that time, you will deploy 10,000 troops to encircle Qin Pass, but you must create a momentum of [-]+, so that he will mistakenly think that you want to capture Qin Pass first. Moreover, you must lead the troops yourself."

"If Si Nanxian isn't fooled."

After all, Lin Chuhuai was just guessing. If he made a wrong judgment, it would be a waste of time and troops.

"Then let Zhong Qi take another [-] soldiers and horses, and conquer Qinguan in one go. I told my father about the food and grass before he came, and he was already trying his best to raise food. The ministers jointly signed a letter to put pressure on him."

"Okay." The longer the war drags on, the more unpredictable the situation will become.

Xia Yizheng was really unwilling to attack Qinguan first, because it was a tough nut to crack, but if the situation forced it, it would be fine. If it goes well, maybe there is a way to win two cities.

At dawn the next day, Li Song was tied up and brought to the front of the battle. Xia Yizheng ordered people to beat the drums, so he had to have a good talk with Si Nanxian.

Hearing the sound of drums, this time Si Nanxian no longer stood on a tall city tower looking down, but rode out of the city surrounded by a group of generals, facing Shang Xia Yizheng.

"Northern Qi Regent, long time no see." Xia Yizheng was not surprised that this person left the city in person.

"Not long, but it's just been January." Si Nanxian smiled like a spring breeze, without the slightest hint of rivalry.

What he said was ambiguous, how could a military general of Tianyu and a prince of Northern Qi meet in private before January when they were separated by thousands of miles, it seemed to others that there was something unknown between them.

But Xia Yizheng was not fooled at all, "Speaking of this matter, I haven't asked the prince why he sneaked into Tianyu without permission a month ago, and what he wanted to do."

Get rid of his ambiguity, his body and mind belong to his parents Yun alone.

Si Nanxian choked on him, his smile froze a little, but he quickly said nonchalantly, "Is that so, maybe this king made a mistake in his memory."

Xia Yizheng didn't want to go around with him anymore, and there was nothing old to talk about between them, "Si Nanxian, you didn't want to talk to this commander when you went out of the city."

"Here, tell me what you want to exchange for this man."

Li Song was tied not far from Xia Yizheng's war horse, and he gave Si Nanxian a light glance.

Si Nanxian remained calm on the surface, but he was a little angry in his heart. Although he said at the time that they were just opponents when he said goodbye on the Japanese battlefield, when this person really had nothing to say to him, he felt empty in his heart. Dull.

Really cheap bones.

"It doesn't matter what I want in exchange, the important thing is what you want, General Xia." Now he is the passive one.

Xia Yizheng laughed loudly, "If I want your Northern Qi capital, you can give it to me."

Hearing this, the generals beside Si Nanxian were filled with righteous indignation, it was really deceptive.

"General Xia was joking." Si Nanxian's eyes were also covered with a thin layer of ice.

"One hundred thousand stones of food and grass, if you agree, you can take it away, if not, this commander can kindly leave him a whole body." Xia Yizheng didn't ask for more, one hundred thousand stones is the food for the whole army for more than ten days .

Because he also knew very well that one hundred thousand stones of grain and grass were still within Si Nanxian's tolerance, and if there was more, it might not be enough.

"Yes." Si Nanxian agreed after thinking for a moment.

The food and grass in Hankou City are abundant, let alone 30 shi, even 30 shi.Besides, [-] stones of grain and grass can last at most half a month. If there is no follow-up food supply, Tian Yukong's [-] troops will not be able to do anything.

It is not a loss to exchange these grains for Li Song's life. Feng Yuan is right.At the moment of the war, we must not lose the heart of the soldiers because of small losses, so Li Song must be rescued.

One hundred thousand shi of grain and grass were loaded into many carts, and these carts were lined up in the city.

How to exchange is also a problem.

Before Xia Yizheng could speak, Si Nanxian said first, "General Xia, I believe in your character. In this way, I will give you the food and grass first, and you will let me go later. How about it?"

"My lord, this is inappropriate."

"Yes, my lord, how do you know if the other party will let you go?"

As soon as this remark came out, the generals of the Northern Qi Dynasty protested one after another, but Si Nanxian raised his hand to stop it.

This is a bit risky for Northern Qi, but there is no other way. There are too many grain trucks, and it is impossible to exchange them at the same time.

Although soldiers never tire of deceit on the battlefield, Nanxian believes that Xia Yizheng is not a person who does not keep his word.Although this kind of trust is somewhat absurd to him.

Xia Yizheng didn't expect such a proposal, but it's okay, "Okay, after the food and grass arrive, I will let him go."

It took some effort to transport these grains. Zhong Qi checked the bags and confirmed that they were not fake, and nodded to Xia Yizheng after they were all rice grains.

"Let him go." Before the battle between the two armies, Xia Yizheng would not break his promise, since he had all the food and grass, he would naturally let him go.

The soldiers guarding Li Song listened to the order and let him go, but they didn't untie the rope for him. It's always better to be cautious.

After he returned to the enemy's camp, Xia Yizheng turned his horse and led the army back to the city. It seemed that he didn't want to entangle with them today.

Si Nanxian's subordinates quickly released Li Song's shackles, and General Li, who was freed, knelt upright in front of the regent and pleaded guilty, "Damn him, and ask the prince to come down."

If he hadn't been conceited and aggressive, he wouldn't have lost [-] shi of food and grass in vain. Although it wasn't a lot, it could have been saved.

Si Nanxian glanced at him indifferently, and when he spoke again, his expression was calm, showing no emotion, "Li Song, the king paid such a price to save you not to let you come back and plead guilty to me. Since I know I was wrong, I will go back to you later." Don’t do it again, I’m waiting for you to make meritorious deeds.”

It would be superfluous to mention punishment at this time, so that this person can charge forward even more with a guilty heart.

Li Song felt even more guilty when he heard the words, "The final general will definitely live up to the prince's high expectations."

Meng Lingsu, who glanced at her brother-in-law, didn't speak, but fell into deep thought while watching the wind and sand blown up by Tianyu's army when they left.

"Ye Lin, Xia Yizheng only provokes me a few times every day, are you sure you don't want to take the initiative to attack, this is not like your temperament." Meng Lingsu couldn't hold back and said this to Si Nanxian , this man has always paid attention to quickness, ruthlessness and accuracy in using troops, and the battle situation that can be resolved in ten days will never be saved until the No. 11 day.

"What's wrong with waiting for work with leisure, not to mention that I won't be the one who really can't afford it."

Although it was said that Xia Yizheng was given enough food and grass to last for more than ten days, it was only ten days. If he wanted to consume it, it would not be impossible.

According to Emperor Tianyu's intention, this time he was determined to take Xia Yizheng's life, so no matter what, the food and grass could not be in place in time.According to this trend, it must be Xia Yizheng who can't hold on first, not himself.

His style of acting has always favored a quick fight, but if the opponent is this person, he doesn't mind stretching the battle line and dragging it out for a longer time.

The cartload of military rations temporarily entered the granary in Yuyang City, and then Xia Yizheng took advantage of the starry night to lead a hundred thousand troops to escort the rations and grass to Qinguan.

The original food in Yuyang City is still enough for about one and a half months, and it is not without food. There are still 20 guards left here. Or Zhong Qi.

In addition, Lin Chuhuai also ordered people to use the "cave" method to dig tunnels and city walls at night.Xu said that the soldiers guarding the city during the day were really unbearable, and they couldn't find it at first at night, and they only found out after two nights of digging with little success.

There was unavoidable chaos for a while, and there were conflicts between the two armies, but fortunately there were no casualties. Since then, Hankou's city defense patrols have become more vigilant, and they are on duty in three shifts a day, for fear of any negligence.

Three or two days passed like this, Lin Chuhuai asked Zhong Qi to prepare a catapult and guns, and prepared to "siege" the city from a long distance. Of course, the main purpose of attacking the city was not to confuse the public.

At night, Lin Chuhuai looked at the map of Qinguan at the mansion, and didn't know what happened after Xia Yizheng and the others camped there.But he didn't have the extra energy to worry about him, and he still needed to worry about this place.

He asked Yun Shu to call Zhong Qi over.

Zhong Qi was training in the city at that time, when he heard that Lin Chuhuai was looking for him, he immediately put down his work and went to the Marshal's Mansion to meet him.

"Sister-in-law, you are looking for me."

Zhong Qi has been calling Lin Chuhuai his sister-in-law since he found out that Xia Yizheng and his wife had communicated with each other. At first, Lin Chuhuai would correct him at a loss, but he just got used to it after listening to it. , and over time, he acquiesced in calling him that.

"You let people spread the word, just say that Tian Yu's coach Xia Yizheng is sick due to a recurrence of an old injury and has been bedridden for several days. I'm afraid he won't last long." Lin Chuhuai ordered after thinking about it.

This is not because he intends to curse this person, but because he has other plans.

"Why do you want to spread it like this? If this word spreads, it will inevitably cause cholera in the army." Zhong Qi didn't understand the purpose of Lin Chuhuai's move. Not many people in the army knew that Xia Yizheng led the troops to Qinguan. There is no benefit at all.

But Lin Chuhuai explained in this way, "Tomorrow I want you to pretend to attack the city, but the coach is not present for the first official attack. How can you explain it? How can Si Nanxian not be puzzled. Your concerns are not unreasonable. Now I'm going to the school grounds with you, and I want to say something to the soldiers."

Although Zhong Qi didn't know what Lin Chuhuai wanted to do, he knew that this person would never do anything that would be detrimental to the general or Tian Yu, so he followed his request and took him to the school grounds.

Yuyang City is also a city that is used to garrison troops all the year round, and the scale of the school grounds is more than ten times that of ordinary places, otherwise how could it accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops.

Lin Chuhuai stood on the high platform where Xia Yizheng stood on weekdays, and looked at the neatly lined soldiers below the stage, all of them standing straight as loose, with determination written all over their faces, and at that moment, an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart. passionate.

He looked around every corner of the school grounds. There were so many people that he couldn't remember everyone's appearance. He only vaguely felt that they were all handsome and heroic.
