Three hundred and fiftieth chapters free battle card
"Japan?"
After Sang Sanniang expressed her thoughts, Cai You immediately dug out some fragmented things from the depths of his memory.
The wakizashi in his hand was his favorite thing. It was given to him by a Japanese businessman who had many connections. But Cai You didn't even remember his name, let alone the Japanese businessman.
What does a businessman want from himself?
After being reminded by Sang Sanniang, Cai You finally vaguely remembered something, frowned slightly and said: "This method is not impossible, anyway, those Japanese people don't have any good intentions; but is it a bit too slow to do it?"
The road from Bianliang to Japan is long, and the land route is no problem, but after arriving at Mingzhou Port, the subsequent sea route completely depends on the weather and wind direction.
The current season is suitable. With southwesterly winds, we can reach Hakata Port in Japan, but the return journey often has to wait until the following spring.
This is what Cai You questioned.
"Master, we can mortgage some of the Baihua Buildings in outlying counties instead of changing hands directly." Sang Sanniang explained: "This will give us almost a year."
"Okay." Cai You nodded slightly: "Then just go ahead and do it."

...
Sun Qi, the guard of Zhaode, was not too surprised by the news that the Song army appeared ten miles south of his city. After all, it would be strange if the Song army did not take advantage of the high morale to attack Zhaode, but instead defended Huguan.
However, no matter what the Song army did, Sun Qi, with the intention of waiting for help, issued a strict order. Anyone who opened the door to meet the enemy privately would be killed!
The lieutenants under his command were all solemn. Sun Qi also went up to the city wall in person and inspected the four gates. When he turned to the south gate, Sun Qi couldn't help but look at the Song Army camp in the distance that almost filled the horizon.
Not less than 100,000.
This is the information returned by the spies. Although it should not be true, compared with the 20,000 troops in the city, the Song army has an overwhelming advantage.
Niu Wenzhong and Siwei, who were highly skilled in martial arts, died at the hands of the Song generals. Sun Qi felt that her two brushes were not enough.
Waiting for reinforcements with all your heart is the right way.
In the afternoon, the Song Army began to send out small groups of troops, and they selected the loudest ones, led by Zhen Sanshan Huang Xin. They stood outside the city with their hands on their hips and called out all kinds of unpleasant things, with coward and the like being the least serious.
With a livid face, Sun Qi ordered to take apart the quilts and cotton-padded clothes in the warehouse, roll the cotton inside into balls, and give each person a few balls. If they couldn't bear it, they would be stuffed.
From the news coming back from Gaizhou, it can be seen that when Niu Wenzhong was defending Gaizhou Prefecture, he was hit by such a cruel trick, which caused the soldiers guarding the city to have a mental breakdown. When they heard the sound outside the city, they could not help but vomit as a conditioned reflex.
Sun Qi didn't want to repeat what Niu Wenzhong had learned. As long as he persisted for two more days, the National Preceptor Qiao Daoqing and the Palace Commander Sun An would bring the last elite division of the Jin Kingdom. In fact, it was the National Preceptor Qiao Daoqing who was extremely skilled in illusions. Sun Qi
I firmly believe that Ximen Qing’s little magic skills are not enough in front of the Imperial Master.
In addition, Sun Qi found a literate person, found a piece of tabletop, wrote two words, and ordered someone to place it on the southern city wall, facing the Song army.
Seeing the soldiers in the city stuffing things into their ears, Huang Xin from Zhensanshan immediately ordered the soldiers who were responsible for swearing to be withdrawn. For a deaf man, no matter what you curse, he will not react.
But what Ximen Qing didn't expect was that Huang Xin, who came back, reported that a three-foot-square wooden board hung high on the enemy's city, with the word "War Free" written on it in still wet ink.
After hearing the news, both Dadao Guan Sheng and Ximen Qing had incredible expressions on their faces.
War-free cards only appeared during wars in ancient times. Nowadays, they are mostly heard from storytellers. In fact, no one has done this for a long time.
Just like when Niu Wenzhong was about to attack Gaizhou Prefecture, Gaizhou Prefecture Yin could immediately ask people to give the no-war card. Could it be that he could block Niu Wenzhong's progress?
If this is the case, Niu Wenzhong is really an idiot.
After all, this is fighting, not playing house. When I can't stand it anymore, I suddenly jump out and say: "Stop fighting!"
Then the other party really obeyed.
This kind of situation can only be described by storytellers. If the two armies are fighting and suddenly the no-war card is issued, what kind of rhythm is this?
But Sun Qi just did it.
"What does Sun Qi want to do?" Dadao Guan Sheng couldn't help but wonder: "What's the use of hanging that board? Let's not mention that most people don't know what those two words are... even if they do,
,Does anyone still care about the free card?"
Ximen Qing thought for a while and said: "Maybe it was just hanging out to confuse our army, but it seems that Sun Qi is standing still waiting for help. If we really think about the role of this war-free card, we will be fooled.
Sun Qi’s plan.”
As soon as this statement came out, all the generals in the big tent nodded.
"It seems that the reinforcements are already on the way." Leopard Head Lin Chong said suddenly: "Although we can't send reinforcements to Gaizhou, we can still send two troops out to dampen their energy."
Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Whether it is sending troops to attack or attacking the city, Qin is the vanguard. Marshal, don't forget it!"
Dadoguan Sheng twirled his long beard with his hand and nodded slightly: "Fighter opportunities are changing rapidly, so it is good to demoralize the enemy."
After saying that, he ordered Lin Chong, the leopard head, and Lu Zhishen, the flower monk, to go together with Tang Bin and Shi Xiu. He led five thousand troops to bypass Zhaode City at night and ambush on the north road.
He also asked Qin Ming, a thunderbolt fire, and Sun Li, the sick Weiwei, to join forces. Huang Xin and Sun Xin served as deputy generals. They also led five thousand troops to ambush on the east road.
The generals received their orders one by one, and the red-haired ghost Liu Tang next to him called out to Qu: "Marshal, since I became the general of the rear army, the last general and the two brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun have not been able to get ahead. Since we finally have a chance, why not
Send us there? When we return to the mountain, we can talk to Brother Chao Gai, the King of Tota."
When Guan Sheng saw that Liu Tang had brought Chao Gai, the king of the pagoda, out, he couldn't help but refuted it directly, so he motioned to Ximen Qing with his eyes. Ximen Qing said: "When General Liu is leaving, who will lead the rear army? Even Chao Gai's brother.
Here, Ximen Qing also said the same thing!"
The red-haired ghost Liu Tang remembered that he went to Fahua Temple to look for Ximen Qing and An Daoquan. The two rescued him with skillful treatment and pulled King Chao Tian back from the road to hell. Ximen Qing worked hard in many ways and eliminated Liangshan's worries.
The savior; Liu Tang was not a shameless person. Seeing Ximen Qing say this, he immediately lost his temper and retreated.
Ximen Qing shouted back to Liu Tang and warned everyone: "Everyone must remember that if you meet the national master Qiao Daoqing, you must not fight rashly. This person's illusion skills are so outstanding that even Brother Yunlong Gongsun Sheng admires him."
The generals responded with a roar.
In the evening, the two troops of Liu Tang, the red-haired ghost, started to leave one after another. They returned to their tents dejectedly. Zhang Heng, the boat fire boy, and Zhang Shun, the white stripe Zhang Shun, had been waiting in the tent for a long time. They saw Liu Tang coming in dejectedly.
, Chuanhuoer Zhang Heng sneered: "Why, brother Liu Tang has lost his temper today? In the past, he was not so willing to live under others in the mountains!"
Langli Baitiao Zhang Shun also said: "Others can make meritorious deeds, but we can't?"
Zhang Heng, a boatman, and Zhang Shun, a white stripe in the waves, have not made any achievements since they came down the mountain, so they are secretly unconvinced.
The red-haired ghost Liu Tang became irritated by the instigation of the two brothers. He walked around the tent twice and said: "You two have also seen it. It's not me, Liu Tang, who didn't mention it today, but Ximen."
Your Excellency and Na Guan will not give in."
"Have you not seen Guan Sheng looking at Lord Ximen?" Zhang Henghuo, Chuanhuo'er, had a fiery temper that was not inferior to that of Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming: "Sir Ximen, there is nothing you can do. You have to save some face for Guan Sheng in front of everyone.
Only then did he stop talking."
"Is this true?"
"My brothers and I have developed our eyesight underwater." Zhang Heng patted his chest and pulled Zhang Shun and said, "Even if a fly flies inside the tent, you will still know whether it is a male or a female!"
After Zhang Heng said this, the red-haired ghost Liu Tang vaguely remembered that Guan Sheng did wink at Ximen Qing at that time.
"According to me, let's take the brothers out at night and let's go east!" Zhang Shun, a white stripe in Langli, came up with an idea: "If we get ahead of Qin Ming and the others, we will definitely make a contribution!"
"That's a good idea!"
Chuan Huo'er praised his brother without saying a word: "When he achieves great achievements, even Lord Ximen will have nothing to say!"
The red-haired ghost Liu Tang was still hesitant, but Zhang Shun said again: "Brother Liu Tang, if you miss this opportunity, won't you be a head shorter than others in the future?"
These words struck a sore spot for Liu Tang. It turned out that Liu Tang was usually criticized for his height, which was average among the leaders of Liangshan and he was very unhappy about it.
In Liu Tang's opinion, a green man, a heroic man, must be over eight feet tall to be worthy of the word "hero".
"You two brothers are right!" Liu Tang raised his brows and suddenly stopped: "Go back and wake up your soldiers. I will open the gate at the back. Don't alert Master Ximen!"
Zhang Heng, a boatman, and Zhang Shun, a white boy in the waves, were overjoyed and went down to prepare.
The red-haired ghost Liu Tang also quietly sent an order to gather at the gate of the village at the back. Liu Tang was originally a general in the rear army, but this time he did not attract the attention of anyone in the village.
After the three men reunited, they counted the soldiers and found that there were more than 3,000. Although there were 20,000 soldiers in the rear army, time was tight and they could only pull out so many soldiers.
"Let's go!" Liu Tang ordered decisively: "We must get in front of Qin Ming and the others!"
...
...
Almost at the same moment, Sun Qi's "war-free card" caused an uproar in the city.
After the ten lieutenants, headed by Jin Ding and Huang Yue, found out about the war-free card, they suddenly felt a fever on their faces. Even Lei Zhen, who was coming from outside, couldn't bear it. They finally couldn't bear it until night, and came to Sun Qi together to ask for the war-free card.
Take it down.
In their view, this was not a card to avoid war, but a card of shame for them. It was almost like stripping their wives and daughters naked and showing them to the Song army on the opposite side of the city.
