Nanming Engineer

Chapter 254 Zhang Liangji

Malaxi's eyes lit up, he regained his energy, and sat up straight, but after looking at Su Le, Fu leaned back on the chair again, and said calmly, "What are you talking about? What trouble do I have?" Son, why do you need your scheme?"

Su Le smiled, nodded, and said calmly: "Er, sir, a catastrophe is imminent, and he said there is no trouble. Do you really think that Su Le is blind?"

These words were a bit rude, Malaxi immediately frowned deeply, and was about to speak out to reprimand, Su Le blocked his words, and followed him: "It is easy for the three armies to move, but it is difficult to supply food and grass. Prince Su's army is here." The fierce battle in Central Sichuan is at a critical moment. Only one more force will be needed to occupy Central Sichuan and conquer the land of abundance in Sichuan. Lord Ezhen sits in Hanzhong, and his primary duty is to guard the food road for Prince Su to conquer the west and ensure the smooth supply of military food. However, in the whole of June, not even a single grain of rice was delivered, which made the Qing soldiers hungry and affected the overall situation of the Western Expedition. Although Mr. Ezhen has rich experience, I am afraid he can’t afford it, right?”

Su Le didn't care about Malaxi's bluish and white face, and continued on his own: "Master Erzhen is loyal to the court, it must not be because of laziness and slack, and the general will hear about it, and the current food supply is not smooth, it is because of those gangs Due to the harassment of the Ming army stolen from Yinping Road, I am afraid that on Chencang Road, more than one or two grain transportation teams were ambushed. If this continues, the general will dare to say that within half a month, Prince Su will send someone else Come to replace Sir Ezhen, and summon him to meet him, and you will know what will happen to you."

Having said this, Su Le shut up and said nothing more, he lowered his head and picked up the cold teacup, and sipped it.

Malaxi had already stood up. Her lips were trembling slightly, whether because of anger or fear. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it in a hurry. She stared at Su Lefa in confusion.

Su Le was not in a hurry, he knew that Marahi had already been persuaded.

After a while, Maraxi asked tremblingly: "Su Le, what you said is true. Could it be that the trick you mentioned just now refers to this matter?"

Su Le put down the teacup, stood up too, bowed his head and cupped his hands to Malaxi, and said in a deep voice: "Exactly! Su Le has a plan to get rid of this Ming army for my lord, and relieve Prince Su's worries."

Maraxi frowned and said: "If you want to get rid of the Ming army, you have to find them first, but the Ming army is treacherous and cunning, erratic, hidden in the deep mountains, I led the army to search everywhere, but I couldn't find their traces, what do you have to do?" , how to get rid of the Ming army?"

Su Le smiled sinisterly, his handsome face turned ferocious, and a sinister expression appeared on his face, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to use Su Le's plan, sir, you must first agree to one thing!"

Malaxi hesitated for a moment, but slowly asked, "What's the matter?"

Suler lowered his head and raised it slightly, with a strange light shining in his eyes, and whispered: "Please agree, sir, to let Suler lead the troops in this battle, and you can plunder the formation for the last general from behind!"

Malaxi's body trembled slightly, she narrowed her eyes, met Suler's eyes, raised her chin, and said one word at a time: "You want military power?"

Su Lefu lowered his head again, maintaining the posture of arching his hands, and bent his waist even deeper.

……

Three days later, in Xi'an City, in the Guancang compound next to the heavily guarded inner city, people were shouting and neighing, and it was very noisy. Two-wheeled carriages were driven in one after another. The carriages were all empty. After entering, they entered in an orderly manner. Lined up at the entrance of the official warehouse, soldiers of the Eight Banners Han Army were shouting and cursing at the civilians, carrying the bags of grain and fodder stored in the official warehouse into cars, and piling them up in one car for another.

Hundreds of civilians worked for most of the day to fill more than 2000 grain trucks. The official warehouse was already empty, with nothing left.

Meng Qiaofang looked uneasy at a general who was wearing armor and his whole body was wrapped in the armor except for a pair of eyes, and said hesitantly: "This is the last batch of stock. Let's organize this amount of food and grass next month, and then..."

The general had been staring at the loading process, then turned around and bowed to Meng Qiaofang, and said with his mouth hidden under the neck guard: "Don't worry, Governor, everything has been arranged properly, as long as you follow the plan, Minggou will definitely be fooled. The powerful army of the Eight Banners is here, and they can be wiped out in one battle. From then on, the official road from Guanzhong to Hanzhong will be smooth!"

Meng Qiaofang blinked and looked at the veteran on the other side, who was Malaxi.

Malaxi was full of ambition and confidence, and said to Meng Qiaofang with a smile, "Exactly, don't worry, Governor, I, Malaxi, will escort me personally. Unless the gang of Ming dogs invite the great shaman, I will definitely teach them to come." There is no return, there is death and there is no life!"

Behind the three of them, a full 6000-strong Qing army lined up neatly in a square formation, with flags waving, swords and guns everywhere, men wearing armor and horses with saddles, and their murderous aura was soaring!
Sensing the awe-inspiring aura of the mighty army, Meng Qiaofang felt sure, and then squeezed out a smile, and cupped her hands to Maraxi, "Yes, yes, Master Ezhen went into battle in person, and he was invincible. There are so many things, the governor is worrying too much."

Maraxi said with a smile: "The plan for this trip is called "making the fake out of the real, and the fake show is real. It was decided after a long time of deliberation. The grain carts loaded here are not in a hurry to start. They will wait until the moon is high tomorrow night." After the people and animals have rested, they will quietly leave the city when there is no one there, and pass through the Ziwu Valley without anyone noticing, forgive the Ming army for being as cunning as a fox, and they will not know, so the food and grass will be safe and secure."

Meng Qiaofang smiled apologetically, knowing that he had something to say, so she waited patiently without saying anything.

Sure enough, Malaxi waved his arms as if holding a feather fan in his hand, and pointed to another long carriage lined up in the yard with a smile: "And this carriage will be on the street tomorrow morning." When the flow of people was like weaving, they drove out of the city with great fanfare, left the city through Andingmen in full view, followed the official road to the west to Chencang Road, and followed the original official road to the west.”

Meng Qiaofang's complexion changed, and she blurted out, "Lord Erzhen, the road in Ziwu Valley is difficult, and it's not easy for grain trucks to pass, and the road is deep in the mountains and deep valleys, so it's easy to ambush troops and horses. I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

He glanced at another group of carriages parked in the distance and said, "These carriages and horses are not loaded with food and grass, but they look like they are heavily loaded. I wonder what they are loaded with?"

Maraxi laughed out loud when he heard the words, his face was bright, his mustache curled up, and he whispered mysteriously to Meng Qiaofang: "My lord, as I said just now, this plan is fake and real. Yes, they are all stones!"

"Stone?" Meng Qiaofang was startled, after a little thought, she suddenly realized, and lowered her voice, she called out, "Could it be that what your lord said was to use this batch of fake grain carts to spread heavy troops to lure the Ming army to show up to rob grain?" , and then catch them all in one go, and the real grain trucks will take the opportunity to go out of the Ziwu Valley and transport them to Hanzhong?"

"That's right!" Malaxi proudly patted the mustache on his chin again and again: "Your Excellency, there are six thousand elite soldiers accompanying me. I'm afraid Minggou won't come on this errand. As long as he comes, Just let them come and go! Hahaha!"

Malaxi was completely relieved. The previous few times when the Ming army robbed food, they all moved their hands on the Chencang Road. , use the fake grain trucks to still go to Chencang Road, and the real grain trucks to go to Ziwu Valley, two-pronged approach, even if the Ming army is not fooled, seeing the fake grain trucks escorted by heavy soldiers fleeing far away and not daring to approach, then the real grain trucks can still be safe shipped to Hanzhong.

In this way, even if this Ming army cannot be destroyed, it can at least ensure the safety of this grain transportation, which is indeed a good strategy.

Meng Qiaofang gave her a thumbs up heartily, and said flatteringly, "Sure enough, it's a brilliant plan. My lord has been through battle for a long time, so I have such a brilliant move. Admiration, admiration!"

Malahi grinned, his jaw almost dropped to the floor with pride.

The two flattered each other and laughed loudly, but they ignored that there was still a person standing beside them.

The general who only showed a pair of eyes did not participate in the conversation between the two, but silently watched the two teams of chariots and horses, his slightly narrowed eyes were full of hot light, a kind of great hatred was about to come. The joy of being rewarded is filled with brilliance.
