Three hundred and ninetieth eighth chapter lottery
"Who is it? Could it be that Bai Ying? That birdman is full of bad intestines!" Hua Monk Lu Zhishen was thinking about the traitor from the Imperial City Division.
"Could it be that fat guy from Song Jiang?" Wei Chi and Sun Li were thinking about the hypocrite who was nicknamed "Jiu Yu" but was actually really evil.
Everyone was talking, some agreed with Lu Zhishen, and some agreed with Sun Li, and some disputes broke out. Guan Sheng twisted his beard and said nothing for a long time: "Bai Ying and Song Jiang are all in the same league. This situation is a bit delicate."
"The marshal is right!" Ximen Qing deliberately raised his voice. As soon as he spoke, the tent suddenly became quiet. Everyone turned their attention to this Lord Supervisor, who had many miracles and great luck.
"No matter who Bai Ying or Song Jiang is, they are all the same; now Tian Hu may not know that he is slowly falling into the trap set by this person." Ximen Qing's analysis was clear and logical: "Li Kui killed Tian Bao and Tian Biao before.
The two of you, the person behind this is to isolate Tian Hu; the imperial commander's personal expedition is probably what this person wants, but in this way, I know the direction Tian Hu's team is going to go."
Everyone looked stern, and when they saw Ximen Qing and Guan Sheng walking towards the sand table, they gathered around them.
Tian Hu's territory on the sand table has gradually shrunk. From the beginning, it was four states and forty-two counties, and troops were also sent to attack Gaizhou; now it has become the boundary between Weisheng and Fenyang states, passive defense, and the number of troops has been reduced by half.
There is more than enough; to the west, Sun An is attacking Huo County. The troops here have already arrived outside Yushe County. Yushe County has a small city and few soldiers, so it can be captured at any time.
"No matter what this person's intention is, Tian Hu must have gone to Huoxian County in the west." Ximen Qing pointed to the small city on the sand table and said: "As expected, Deputy Commander Sun only took Huoxian County with a few words.
In a matter of days, by the time Tian Hu's team arrived, it was already too late; but this was exactly what this person wanted."
Everyone didn't understand what they heard, Ximen Qing sighed again: "This kind of layout is beyond Song Jiang's ability, it must be that Bai Ying; this person deceived Tian Hu into the imperial chariot and marched all the way to the west, I'm afraid he would have to stop halfway.
Take action, gather Tian Hu's army, and then take the army to Fenyang Mansion."
"Isn't this the same strategy as our previous strategy of driving Tian Hu to Fenyang Mansion?" Guan Sheng stopped twirling his beard after hearing this, and said in a daze, "Why does Bai Ying do this?"
Ximen Qing did not answer the question directly. Instead, he glanced at everyone present and asked: "Do you know the past of Bai Ying?"
Everyone shook their heads, and Ximen Qing slowly revealed what he had guessed before. Bai Ying's current behavior still confirmed everything Ximen Qing suspected, so the more Ximen Qing said, the more shocked everyone became.
Everyone's eyes turned to the sand table. Although the place to the west of Fenyang Mansion was not shown, everyone knew that not far to the west there was the position and fortress where the Song Army and the Xixia Army were intertwined.
"If Bai Ying is really a Xixia spy, our army's defense line will be in danger!" Dadao Guan Sheng said: "Now it seems that Tian Hu himself is not the most important, but to intercept this army from entering Fenyang Mansion.
, all the way to the west!”
"exactly."
Lin Chong, Qin Ming, Sun Li and others nodded in agreement.
"Inform Vice Admiral Sun that we are going to intercept this army at the junction of Fenyang, Jinning, and Weisheng three states!" Guan Sheng poked a small place on the sand table with his finger: "Sir Ximen, what do you think?
"
"Weisheng Prefecture is Tian Hu's home base. The army previously identified is about 200,000. Tian Hu will be marching in person. The scene will not be too small. There will be at least 100,000 people. I am afraid that Deputy Commander Sun's army alone will suffer a loss."
Ximen Qing shook his head slightly and said: "In my opinion, if you let Deputy Commander Sun's troops capture Huo County, they immediately go north, enter Fenyang Mansion, intercept Tian Hu in Jiexiu, or even Fenyang City. With the support of the city, the battle will be easy
It is much easier to fight and can hold back this army."
"That makes sense!" Guan Sheng's eyes lit up: "There aren't many defenders in Fenyang City, so it shouldn't be difficult to defeat them!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Ximen Qing mused: "We are also going to divide our troops. We cannot let Deputy Commander Sun face this army independently, whether it is Tian Hu or Bai Ying..."
Guan Sheng also agreed to the division of troops: "After taking Yushe County, our army can be divided into two parts. Twenty thousand troops will pretend to attack everywhere in Weisheng Prefecture to attract Na Tian Ding's attention and not dare to send troops at will; while the others are about
Eighty thousand men can go around the cities and pursue Tian Hu's army."
This method of dividing troops can be said to be beyond the norm, and Ximen Qing can also see from this that Guan Sheng's ability and decisiveness are no less than those of famous generals in history.
"That's right, attacking from both sides, Tian Hu and Bai Ying can definitely be defeated in one battle!" Ximen Qing nodded and said: "If we turn around and attack Wei Shengzhou with all our strength, we will definitely win it!"
Shi Qian took the initiative to ask for help: "Then I will pass the news to Deputy Commander Sun."
"Wait for me to write a handwritten letter explaining the cause and effect in detail." Guan Sheng said: "You can set out early tomorrow morning. With Lord Ximen's magical horse, which can travel eight hundred miles a day, you will definitely be able to catch up. You just came back from Wei Sheng City.
, it’s better to take a night’s rest.”
Ximen Qing also said: "As the chief spy, the third brother has a heavy responsibility. He must not let his body collapse. It is better to rest for ten thousand yuan."
Shi Qian bowed and went down to rest. Guan Sheng asked again: "Which brothers are willing to stay and divide 20,000 troops to patrol Weisheng Prefecture?"
"Zhou Xuan? If you don't take one or two of his cities, what's Zhou Xuan?"
Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming laughed, stepped forward and asked for orders: "Just leave this kind of work to Qin, at least take him three or five counties, and make that kid Tian Ding huddle in Weisheng City and not dare to come out!"
"Lin Chong does not dare to speak loudly. He is willing to work with General Qin to kill Weishengzhou until there is no peace!" Lin Chong also stepped forward and cupped his hands.
Guan Sheng chuckled and said: "The two pioneers are already in Wei Shengzhou. Could it be that Guan is the pioneer himself?" He turned to Ximen Qing and asked: "Master Supervisor, what do you think about this matter?"
Ximen Qing understood what Guan Sheng meant. It would be nice if one of Qin Ming and Lin Chong could stay, so Ximen Qing's answer was very simple: "Draw lots."
Guan Sheng turned his back, took the four treasures of the study, and was about to pick up the pen to write. Ximen Qing came over and said a few words in his ear. Guan Sheng was overjoyed, picked up the pen and wrote two notes with a swipe, forming two balls.
, put it in front of everyone.
"Those who don't want to go will stay in Wei Shengzhou."
As soon as Guan Sheng finished speaking, Qin Ming's nature was like a burning fire. He came up and grabbed a paper ball. Before Lin Chong could take action, he unfolded it and looked at it. There was only one word on it: "Go"
Qin Ming didn't know much about literacy, but he still knew the word "go". What's more, "go" is one word and "not go" is two words, clearly.
"No, no, no, let's do it again!"
Qin Ming was dissatisfied, crumpled the note into a ball and threw it on the table.
"General Qin." Lin Chong stood aside and said with a smile: "Since you have been caught, you will naturally go. Lin Chong will not be polite and will lead his army to wait for you to come back in Weisheng Prefecture."
Qin Ming's head was shaking like a rattle, and everyone was laughing. Ximen Qing said: "It's God's will, so how about I let you catch him again? It's just that I'm catching him this time, so I can't deny it."
Guan Sheng also said with a straight face: "There is no joke in the army. General Lin should have stayed here in the first place. Since the Lord Supervisor of the Army has said so, I will let you arrest him again."
After saying that, Guan Sheng took the two paper balls and threw them on the table again. The two paper balls were spinning around on the table. Lin Chong was about to take action when Qin Ming next to him had already made a big hand and took one of the paper balls.
Grabbing it in his hand, he shouted: "General Lin, I accept the concession!"
Lin Chong had no choice but to take another paper ball in his hand.
Ximen Qing asked curiously: "General Qin is so sure?"
"Of course! Qin just..." Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming quickly stopped mid-sentence: "This time, whether I go or not, Qin admits it!"
"If you deny it, you must make a curse first." Ximen Qing had already seen through Qin Ming's methods and did not expose them. He chuckled and said, "If General Qin denies it again..."
"I won't be able to drink Jingyangchun in my life." Qin Ming immediately added without thinking: "Qin doesn't want to be a pioneer anymore. How about becoming a personal soldier for the Lord Supervisor of the Army?"
"Okay." Ximen Qing smiled slightly: "Then let's see what we caught?"
"Hahahaha, you don't have to look at it, of course I won't go." Qin Ming unfolded the paper ball without looking at it, and carried it directly to show it to everyone in the tent. He said proudly: "Well, see clearly, this time it's
Why don’t you go?”
But everyone looked at Thunderbolt Qin Ming with strange eyes, and some couldn't help laughing.
"Hahahaha...what?" Qin Ming's laughter suddenly stopped and he turned over the note in confusion.
There is still the same word on it: "Go"!
"This...how is this possible?" Qin Ming was greatly puzzled. He turned around and saw Guan Sheng and Ximen Qing smiling. He immediately knew that he had been tricked and said angrily: "You two, work together to plot against Qin!
"
"You caught the paper ball yourself. It's God's will. What's the point of scheming?" Ximen Qing said with a smile: "Don't forget the vow you just made. Whether you are a vanguard chasing Tian Hu, or you are a personal soldier for me, let's see.
The result is the same!"
Everyone in the tent was immediately happy, and Lin Chong also laughed. He seemed to have figured something out, and he clutched the ball of paper without even intending to open it.
"This is impossible!"
Qin Ming angrily slapped the note on the table, very unconvinced: "Sir Ximen, Ming people don't tell secrets, Qin is in trouble today, at least let me have a good time and let me understand!"
"Okay." Ximen Qing reached out and picked up the piece of paper: "You must be wondering why you grabbed it again and it's still this paper ball?"
"Nonsense, what I caught was clearly a ball of paper that won't go away!"
Qin Ming blurted out without thinking and immediately regretted it.
"General Qin, the draw between two people is 50-50, and you have already caught it once; if you cheated the second time, God will not help you." Ximen Qing explained with a smile: "Have you caught it before?
After one time, when you threw the paper ball back on the table, did you do anything?"
