"Qi Wen, what do you think about our attack on the remaining two strongholds?" After taking the Shanglin Village stronghold, he sent someone to notify Zhao Jie of his return, and everyone gathered together to discuss the attack on the remaining two strongholds.
Qi Wen opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but after glancing at the happy people around him, he couldn't say anything in the end.
Zhao Xun seemed to see that Qi Wen was a little worried, so he smiled and said: "Qi Wen, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't worry about anything, just tell it like it is."
Hearing Zhao Xun's words, everyone also looked at Qi Wen, wanting to see what this guy had to say that was inconvenient. Qi Wen smiled bitterly and said, "Since the Lord said this, then my subordinates are being presumptuous. As far as our situation is concerned,
Look, it’s probably very difficult to successfully capture the strongholds on the northeast and east sides.”
"Nonsense, weren't we captured the three fortresses in front? And the losses were very small, even you..." Someone retorted loudly. The rest of the people also started talking.
When Qi Wen heard this, his face turned red and he shook his head helplessly.
"Don't talk yet, let Qi Wen finish what he said." Zhao Xun said with a frown.
Seeing Zhao Xun speak, everyone immediately sat upright and listened to Qi Wen's reasons honestly.
Qi Wen said: "There is a reason for me to say this. You adults should know that the attack on the first three fortresses was based on tactics, and there was no real attack. Hypothetically, if the people from Shanglin Village don't come out today
, Strictly guarding the village, what should we do? Fight hard? We have many people, but we have new soldiers; the other side has few people, elites, and has a favorable location. The outcome of this battle, I am afraid, the victory will be a tragic victory." After everyone heard this,
After thinking about it, I nodded unconsciously.
"I say it is difficult to attack because of two main points: first, these two strongholds are in dangerous terrain and have a large number of people; second, for some reason, the people in these two strongholds never leave the stronghold easily. Therefore, our inducements cannot persuade the tiger to leave the mountain.
We want to take it, so we attack the enemy for reasons, but firstly we don’t have the equipment, secondly, our soldiers still have experience, and more importantly, we can’t afford to lose.”
After Qi Wen finished speaking, Zhao Xun, who was originally very happy, felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured into his heart, cooling him down, but also making him sober. He was careless. He has won consecutive victories in the past few days, making himself proud.
.
"Everyone has heard what Qi Wen said. What he said is very reasonable. Don't think that after a few small victories, you forget about it and don't know your last name. As for the attack on these two strongholds, let's not do it yet.
Arrangements, we will go and take a look in person in the afternoon and we will know. Situ Liang, please immediately send someone to inform Lin
Luo, Li Luobei and the people left behind in Yanzhou Prefecture, ask them to step up their efforts to accept the refugees who have escaped from the three prefectures in the north and east, and let them live in the forts we have occupied. There are many fields around those forts, which are deserted.
What a pity. These refugees can also provide us with soldiers after they settle down."
Let everyone go down and arrange for each sentry to rest. After eating, Zhao Xun sat there alone and meditated quietly.
"What are you thinking, sir?"
Zhao Xun looked up and saw that Situ Liang had turned back after arranging his affairs.
Zhao Xun smiled and said: "I was thinking that Qi Yan and Sima Yun are both related to the Mohe tribe, but now it seems that they are not involved."
Situ Liangming nodded and said: "That's true. If the two of them practice, Qi Yan's people will get support from the outside. Not to mention the benefits of status, they will also get a lot of weapons, armor and equipment, but now it seems
Come on, that's not the case. Also, Qi Yan clearly wanted to blame Sima Yun for the last assassination attempt. Sima Yun was the only suspect and failed.
Your Excellency may also have a fight with Sima Yun because of the assassination incident. But he didn't expect that we have caught his tail now. I think the Mohe people that Sima Yun and Qi Yan contacted are not from the same tribe, and the Mohe people are not from the same tribe.
There are many tribes. In addition to the five major tribes, there are many small and medium-sized tribes. Many tribes want to occupy the colorful world of the Central Plains, and there is competition among each other."
Zhao Xun took a deep breath and said: "The Yanzhou Prefecture's army, the Longxiang Army, and the two Mohe tribes. There are too many chess players playing in Yanzhou Prefecture. More importantly, I don't know what the imperial court is doing here.
How do you look at it? After all, there are still hundreds of thousands of Longxiang troops in Youzhou. Even if most of them are composed of government troops, several years of war have made them the best of the best. Situ, we
This is a chestnut out of the fire!"
Situ Liang laughed and said: "You can get the greatest benefits by taking chestnuts from the fire. If you don't finish all the chess pieces in your hands, who knows who will win and who will lose, who will have the last laugh? Among these forces, we are the smallest. We laugh and say that these people ignore
The situation is such that it is easy for us to take action. Are you afraid, sir?"
"You don't need to provoke me. Now that I have made a decision, I never want to give up. I want to be a chess player, not a chess piece. I will compete for the top or bottom in this game of chess."
…………
"This is your other stronghold? Isn't this Qi Yan very good at finding places?"
Several sentry commanders quietly lurked with Zhao Xun into the dense forest not far from the northeastern stronghold, and checked the situation on the opposite side from a distance. After seeing the situation here, the several sentry commanders were speechless.
This is a valley-like village with towering cliffs on both sides. There is only one exit. A wall no more than ten meters wide was built just at the exit. There is a trench no more than ten meters wide in front of the wall, and outside the trench there is
There are also three obstacles that make people feel intimidated by the sight of them.
"How's it going? You've seen it, do you still think you can get in? This is just a village wall, and there are two more narrow strips behind it. Only a dozen people can pass through at a time, that is, there are two rounds on the wall.
The archer's target." Zhao Xun whispered, he wanted to make a few people who didn't know the southeast, northwest, and northwest because of a few small victories know how powerful they are.
"Sir, let's go back first and discuss how to deal with it?" Li Lingfeng suggested.
Everyone returned to Shanglin Village, and after discussing for a long time, they could not come up with a solution. The most important thing was that no one came out of this unknown long and narrow village. This left everyone with all kinds of strategies, but nowhere to use them. It was really frustrating.
It means that there are no tricks to win.
"Situ Liang, aren't you usually very smart? Now pay attention to me?" Li Lingfeng saw Situ Liang on the side and said nothing, and smiled.
Situ Liang said with a helpless smile: "I have no idea now. This kind of immobile person is the most difficult to deal with. If I make a move, the other party needs to see it. They won't come out at all. What can I do?
"After saying that, he was still shaking his head.
"Not coming out? Don't they have any needs? They can grow their own food, but not other things?" Zhao Qingshan suddenly interjected.
Zhao Qingshan's words immediately made Zhao Xun and Situ Liang's eyes light up. They both noticed the other's abnormality. Zhao Xun couldn't help but admire Situ Liang's cleverness.
"It seems that Situ Liang has paid attention to you. Come and listen!" Zhao Xun said.
Situ Liang smiled and said: "Same as Qi Wen captured Qi Xiangdong, when you open the gate of the village, fight in."
"Qingshan, call Qi Wen over!"
"Sir! I wonder why you call your subordinates?"
"Qi Wen, have you been to the stockade on the northeast side?" Zhao asked.
"No, we each perform our duties and keep our own responsibilities. We rarely go to other places, especially the east and northeast sides, and rarely have contact with other places."
"Then do you know how daily necessities are transported to that long and narrow village on the northeast side?"
"Qi Yan will send someone to transport it on time!"
Zhao Xun asked: "Then do you think our team under the guise of transporting goods can get in?"
Hearing this, Qi Wen quickly said: "Sir, this plan is absolutely unacceptable! The transport personnel carry Qi Yan's identity arrows and passwords. If we pretend to be, we will be discovered."
"Alas..." After hearing this, everyone suddenly lost their energy. They originally thought they could successfully win there.
"Then do you know how many days Qi Yan's people transport them? How many people do they bring?" Situ Liang suddenly asked.
"Once every five days, maybe forty or fifty people."
"So frequent? Why not transport more at once?" Zhao Jie asked.
"This is also to strengthen the control here and to constantly understand the situation in these places." Qi Wen explained.
Situ Liangming nodded and said: "It seems that we need to wait for the next transportation team. Success or failure depends on them."
"In this case, Zhao Kang, Zhao Jie, you continue to train the first and second sentries. After this battle, there should be changes. Let them strengthen their training, and they will definitely be very different from before. Li Lingfeng, you continue
Lead someone to secretly monitor the situation on the northeast side. If there is any change, notify me immediately. At the same time
Let Zhao Hai and Ye Chaoge, who are still in Lijiazhai, return to Yanzhou Mansion to strengthen the training of intelligence and special teams. Time waits for no one!" After Zhao Xun finished speaking, he sighed. The situation is getting more and more tense now.
Yesterday, Zhao Hai told himself that Sima Yun has been very active recently, and Su Yun is also planning something.
After everyone left, Situ Liang came back again.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Xun asked when he saw Situ Liang coming back and knew that he was in trouble.
"Sir, it seems that you have other ideas to take over that village just now. Why don't you tell them and let everyone implement them?"
Zhao Xun smiled bitterly and said: "Do you know what idea I have? It's not that I don't want to say it, but that idea is not good for us."
"Oh? Sir, please explain!!"
"Fu Jun!!"
Situ Liang was startled when he heard this, and then he understood that what Zhao Xunduo said was to borrow the government troops to attack, but it had nothing to do with him at that time. Even the fort he captured might not be able to keep it, so this
This approach is completely against your own interests.
"Then why do you still..."
"We have captured Qi Yan's three territories in a row. Not to mention anything else, the food alone is enough to make Qi Yan hate us to the bone. If the attack there fails, Qi Yan will know that he can only use the help of
To fight against him, we must be put on the sidelines." Zhao Xun knew that Situ Liang wanted to ask, why did Zhao Xun think that such an idea that was not good for him was an idea?
"My subordinates understand! If it really comes to that point, we have to find a way to protect these three strongholds. There are a lot of good things in them, especially food. Besides, we haven't reached that point yet. Maybe we will soon.
