The entire army is on alert. The originally silent night has now assembled urgently. After waking up quickly from sleep, all the soldiers dressed neatly and stood up according to their usual training positions. Most of them understood that Sai Mo had arrived nearby, and their expressions were serious. Can not help but nervous.For many years of peace, these recruits have never been on the battlefield. Although they have been trained for a long time on weekdays, they are still flustered when they learn that the enemy is preparing to fight outside the city.

Soldiers from the cavalry battalion and the newly-built crossbow battalion were all gathered together. The school field was full of flames, bright as day, and the soldiers put on their armor and stood ready. The number of soldiers on the city wall was strengthened to keep an eye on the movement outside the city. Jump into battle now.

All the generals and captains gathered in Qi Muye's tent to discuss the next move.

"Just now the scouts reported again that the Saimo army has camped fifty miles outside the city. This time there are estimated to be [-] soldiers and horses. It seems that the other party really underestimated us." Qi Muye explained the situation this time to everyone, and then Said: "But this is also a good thing. The other party underestimated our strength and gave us an opportunity. Otherwise, if we guard the city gate from the outside, the food in the city will not be able to support our [-] soldiers. The other party probably thinks that we After a few months of running out of ammunition and food, I will take [-] soldiers to station outside the city."

Song Ruyu: "It can be seen that they have camped fifty miles away, and the scouts reported that they have enough food and grass. They don't seem to be in a hurry to attack this time, and they seem to continue to consume us outside the city."

General Mo was also a little worried, the food in the city was also a problem, it would not be able to support them to spend another few months with Saimo.

Li Yao suddenly said, "Are they trying to attack the city?"

General Sun glanced at Li Yao in surprise. He thought that Li Yao came with Song Ruyu. Li Yao was also a bandit, but he had many novel ideas.Speaking of it, Song Ruyu is the same. Although he is a bandit, he looks very handsome, and his thoughts are rough but subtle. Recently, he also found out that he is still the heir of the Song family, who was a loyal minister at the time, so he reused Song Ruyu more and more.

Qi Muye nodded and said in agreement: "Perhaps the other party has this in mind too, but we didn't have any reinforcements. A few days ago we shut the door on General Chen. It's great that the imperial court won't punish us. I don't think so." Will send people to support us." There are still some things that have not been explained, and everyone present knows that Wei Junyu may still have the intention to let the Saimo Army destroy the Zhennan Army and get rid of his innermost feelings. After the assassination, soldiers and horses were dispatched from the imperial court to drive Sai Mo out.

Now that both sides are hurting, maybe Wei Junyu is happy to see it. It is a pity to lose a city, but it is also good to get rid of the Zhennan Army. If the Zhennan Army wins and severely damages Saimo, Wei Junyu will not lose. What, he would still be the winner.

Now their Qingzhou City is truly isolated and helpless.

When the atmosphere gradually fell into silence, Li Yao directly proposed a solution: "Since the other party has a lot of food and grass, then burn the other party's food and grass, and the food supply will not arrive so quickly, and they will not last many days without food and grass."

Song Ruyu's eyes lit up, and she said, "Yes, it's better to strike first and force the other party to a dead end! At that time, if they don't want to fight, they will have to fight! Although our crossbowmen have not been trained for a long time, the other party does not know that we have crossbowmen , this is also a chance of winning, when the time comes, they will be wiped out!"

Qi Muye also thought this method was good at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not feasible: "This is a good method, but it is difficult to implement. The food and grass in the opponent's camp will definitely be closely guarded, and no one will enter at will. .”

If you really want to send people to burn food and grass, it means that most of these people will never return. This is a very difficult task, and if they are caught by the enemy, they can only die by taking poison and cannot disclose half of the information. This is a dead man task! ! !

And these dead soldiers need absolute loyalty, otherwise there is no guarantee that they will not be caught and turn against them.

General Mo suggested hesitantly: "I think this mission is feasible. If someone chooses, there are still some prisoners who have been exiled here in the city, and their families are also doing hard labor here... If it is promised to give them ordinary people's lives after the task is completed, it must be They should..."

"General Mo!" Qi Muye stopped him from continuing. From the corner of his eye, he observed Li Yao, who was also an exiled prisoner. Seeing that Li Yao's expression was unmistakably normal, or that he couldn't see any emotion, his heart tightened, and he said, " It would be too cruel to let these people go to die, and to threaten their families, this is not the style of our Zhennan Army, if my father is still alive, he will definitely not allow this!"

Song Ruyu also thought of Li Yao's status in exile, and the fact that Li's family members didn't know whether they were alive or dead in Yizhou. Afraid of touching his sadness, she couldn't help looking at Li Yao with some worry.

General Wang, who has always been taciturn, agreed with General Mo's proposal, saying: "I think General Mo is right. If we don't want these exiled prisoners to go, then we should let our soldiers go. They also have family members. This is also going to die. Should they die? Can their families accept their death? Even if they die, they should just want to die on the battlefield."

As soon as these words came out, Qi Muye was stunned for a moment. General Wang was right. If he really wanted to send people there, someone would die. Should the soldiers go to die?Are their lives really lighter than those of the exiled prisoners?

The atmosphere once again fell into a stagnation, which is undoubtedly a dilemma.

Qi Muye breathed out, and finally made a decision: "If there must be casualties, then this mission should be abandoned. What's more, this task is extremely difficult and may not be successful, so it is better to let it go."

"No, I'll go." Li Yao said calmly.

Everyone looked at him in unison, Li Yao looked indifferent, as if what he said was not the mission of the dead that they were talking about before.

Qi Muye frowned and said, "Did you listen to what we said just now?"

Li Yao nodded: "I've been listening."

"This mission is dangerous!"

Li Yao said, "I know, that's why I went."

Qi Muye directly vetoed him: "No, as a captain, you are going to lead troops to the battlefield, how can you sneak into the enemy camp to burn food and grass? If you have something good or bad, who will lead the troops?"

"I'm sure." Li Yao said lightly, "Since I proposed it, and you don't have a suitable candidate, then let me go. I'm sure I can survive."

Song Ruyu also disagreed with Li Yao's approach, and felt that he was still thinking too simply, so he helped to persuade him: "You can't do it alone, and the other party's grain and grass are heavily guarded, so it is naturally very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will will be discovered."

Li Yao refrained from entering: "That's just right, I can't take care of too many people, it will only expose my whereabouts, and it's easier for me to sneak in alone."

"No, it's dangerous for you alone, I don't agree, you can't go!" Qi Muye didn't let go.

Li Yao stared at him closely with a pair of lacquered eyes, full of coercion inside, Qi Muye was very tough, and also looked at him, although he had already felt Li Yao's oppression mentally, but he did not withdraw as usual, Instead, he said: "I know you are skilled, and you are very confident in yourself. But you are in the barracks now, and you have to obey my orders!"

Li Yao's expression was still the same, his mental strength was slightly restrained, he nodded and said: "Yes." Then he looked at General Mo, he knew that General Mo had been shaken.

"This... If Lieutenant Li really has a way..."

Li Yao immediately said, "I have a solution."

General Mo's eyes lit up and said, "Really? What is it?"

But Li Yao said: "Secret. But I will come back safely. Trust me." His tone is still calm, but it can make people feel at ease, and there is a powerful force that makes people want to believe him for no reason.

General Mo thought for a while, knowing that this mission was dangerous, but thinking of the people in the city and the food in the army, if the Zhennan Army took the initiative to attack, it would inevitably fall into the opponent's trap, but if they had to fight the enemy forever, they would not Can't afford it.

"I think you might as well give it a try..." General Mo still said this, and seeing Qi Muye's displeasure, he immediately added, "If Lieutenant Li returns safely this time and completes the mission, what the Marquis mentioned earlier I agree to everything."

General Sun and General Wang looked slightly surprised. They didn't expect that General Mo, who was always cautious, would trust Li Yao so much. However, they remembered that Li Yao's previous ideas were quite effective, and the two began to waver. Seeing General Mo express his attitude , They thought for a while, and followed suit.

"We have no opinion either."

The matter referred to in these words refers to the matter that Qi Muye proposed at the beginning to let Li Yao be the general of the infantry battalion. It can be seen that General Mo has already thrown the biggest bargaining chip on Li Yao.

Seeing that the three generals had made a decision, Song Ruyu also said, "I'll go with him!"

Qi Muye said with a cold face: "This is very likely to die! You are also the captain, and the two captains sneaked into the enemy to burn food and grass. If you both have something to do, how much loss will this have? Have you considered it?! If someone else I know, I thought our Zhennan army was gone!"

Li Yao said as a matter of course: "Then just don't let others know."

Qi Muye: "..." He glared at Li Yao angrily, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't bear to scold him.

Li Yao refused Song Ruyu's joining: "Don't go, it's easier for me to be alone, I don't have time to save you."

Song Ruyu: "...I can protect myself!"

Li Yao ignored him at all, and looked at Qi Muye steadfastly, waiting for him to make a final decision.

Qi Muye rubbed his temples, feeling that he had a headache. Ever since he met Li Yao, he had had frequent headaches, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"...Okay." Qi Muye let go, "However, you must come back alive! Otherwise!"

Li Yao waited for the second half of his sentence: "Otherwise what?"

Qi Muye suddenly wanted to rub his hair, but when he noticed that everyone was there, he suppressed the urge and bought a pass: "I'll tell you when you come back."

For some reason, Li Yao actually wanted to laugh, the corners of his lips curled slightly, a slight smile appeared in his eyes, and he said, "Okay."
