The female emperor fights, captures Yang Yuhuan at the beginning

Is this Han Xin crazy?

It is agreed that I will attack you, and you will smear and attack the city before dawn. Isn't this cheating?

Eastern Lanzhou, Landong City.

Li Tong was sitting at the top of the wall holding a woman with heavy make-up, his hands had already penetrated into the inner lining, rubbing them endlessly.

Looking at the two armies fighting under the city, Li Tong was a little bored.

His generals Qiu Liju and Su Fuwan were defeated by the opponent's two generals. If it weren't for the fact that they had enough troops on their side, they might have lost all the way.

The more she looked at it, the more angry she became. The force in her hand might have been too strong, causing the woman to yell a few times.

He was already angry, but when the woman cried out in pain, he was so angry that he kicked her directly down the city, and fell into the moat with a wailing bang, and floated out of the water after a long while, motionless, obviously fell to death alive.

Li Tong spat towards the city: "Bitch, it's so fucking unlucky, you, yes, it's you, come here."

Two eunuchs behind him helped a brothel woman whose legs were weak and could not even walk.

Li Tong patted his fat butt hard: "What? Still want me to work hard? Do you want to die?"

Chapter 0116 Poison

There are a few small vendors sitting in a small tea shop by the official road outside the south gate of the main city of Tongzhou. From a distance, they look ordinary, and as long as they don't look carefully, no one will pay much attention to them.

Of course, except for Dian Wei who squatted next to the steamed stuffed bun shop and had already eaten ten baskets of steamed stuffed buns like Xiao Shan, many people watched him, and even more people didn't dare to look at him.

After all, as long as he raises his eyes, the murderous look from those tiger eyes is enough to scare the timid people to pieces.

Fortunately, his attention was only on the buns and the newly placed ladder cage.

In the tea shop, Meng Ao, who was dressed in short clothes, and Jia Xu, who was in Taoist uniform, were chatting with a young man who looked heroic.

It seemed that the three of them were talking about irrelevant gossip, but in fact, the eyes of the three of them would sneak a few glances in the direction of the city gate from time to time.

"Brother Meng, Brother Jia, look, the defense of the south gate seems to be strict, but in fact it is very lax. According to the news from the informants in the city, including the main city, a total of 50 soldiers were transferred the day before yesterday. According to the estimate of the informant, there are less than 20 elites in the main city, and more than [-] city defense auxiliary soldiers."

"The four city gates in the east, west, south, and north are divided into four city defense battalions. There is also a big camp outside the north of the city. Most of the auxiliary soldiers are in the big camp. If you encounter an enemy situation, you can go to the city from the big camp and quickly support the other three gates."

"If you don't want to fight too much with them, cutting off the support of the big battalion first, and then choosing a door to sneak in is the best way. As long as you enter the city and take down the City Lord's Mansion, the city defense army will no longer be a threat."

Jia Xu took a sip of the cold bitter tea with a tea bowl with a gap in it, shook his head and said, "My lord will give us 30 people, with light vehicles and simple vehicles that go out at night and day, and with simple equipment. Can't fight it."

"Let's not talk about whether we can take this main city, even if we take it, the 30 people are probably not many left. As a military adviser, I can naturally bear the infamy of being inconsiderate of my subordinates, but what about after that? Why defend the city? How can you suppress hundreds of thousands of city defense troops? Rely on your thousands of mountain bandits?"

"This..." The young man's expression was a little awkward. There was nothing wrong with Jia Xu's words. If it were him, he would not want the 30 troops to fight such a battle that would inevitably cost a lot.

But he has no choice now, he must work hard for his sister to regain control of Tongzhou, even if it really consumes the 30 troops sent by Lanzhou, he will not hesitate to pay more compensation in the future.

Wei Qing strongly urged Meng Yu and others to come to the main city to have a look, thinking carefully in his heart that Jia Xu had already guessed thoroughly, as the military adviser of this strange army, he was responsible for the final result.

Wei Qing was able to save Wei Zifu's life, and escaped from Li Tong's arrest warrant without incident. Coupled with the communication and understanding these days, Jia Xu has a certain understanding of Wei Zifu's subordinates.

Wei Qing is handsome, thoughtful, steady personality, knowledgeable about soldiers and art of war, he is a great talent who can control an army.

The other one is Huo Guang, who has a lot of literature and ink, knows people's livelihood, understands political affairs, and is a rare seed of civil servant. If he is cultivated well, his future will be limitless.

With a man of letters and a soldier by his side, if that woman with peerless beauty wins Tongzhou, plus the civil servants and generals around him, once they develop, it will be no small trouble for Qin Lang.

No matter how you say it, Jia Xu will not agree to focus on attacking Tongzhou City. His 30 people, either don't use it, or use it on real ideas.

As for what this idea is, Jia Xu hasn't figured it out yet, but he is sure of one thing, Wei Zifu's thousands of people cannot be kept, and must be removed when necessary.

They are still used now, after all, it is their territory, and they still need to be used in many aspects.

Meng Yu didn't express any opinion on this, and looked at Jia Xu, and it seemed that they quickly exchanged opinions and reached a consensus.

After finishing the bitter tea in the bowl in one go, Meng Ao got up and went to the steamed stuffed bun shop next door and threw a piece of silver to the boss, and patted Dian Wei who was squatting on the ground taller than a person: "What's so delicious about steamed stuffed buns, go back and eat meat. "

Seeing this, Wei Qing also got up and left with Meng Yu and others, without any further persuasion on the way, he also needed to go back and discuss with his sister Wei Zifu.

If Meng Ao's 30 people want to work for them, the benefits must be promised in advance, they are not here to help for nothing, the price is not suitable, who will contribute?

It was already late at night when we returned to Dahong Mountain, Wei Qing bid farewell to everyone and went back to the village. As soon as he entered the gate of the village, Huo Guang greeted him: "How about cousin, what do they mean?"

Wei Qing shook his head and walked straight to the room where Wei Zifu was staying: "Go back first and then go into details."

Anxious Wei Zifu finally waited until Wei Qing came back. After listening to Wei Qing's narration, he pondered for a while before asking: "What conditions do you think they will send troops?"

Wei Qing hesitated for a moment and said: "That military adviser makes me feel very uncomfortable. It seems that he doesn't really want to help us capture Tongzhou City."

Huo Guang, who was next to him, waved his hands and said in disapproval: "What my cousin said was a bit too decisive. I think it's just a matter of profit distribution. I can't compare with my cousin when it comes to military formations, but I can see people's hearts better. In this world There is no impossible business in the world, if we want these 30 people to work for us, we have to do business with that Qin Lang, and with his ambition, it is estimated that half of the same state may not be able to do it."

Wei Yingying, who was wearing Wei Zifu's vest, said in surprise: "Half of the Tongzhou is not enough?"

Huo Guang said with certainty: "Then Lu Kun in Xianyang, Fuze Caixuan in the back, and Zhou Yao in Zezhou, all of them were eaten to death by him."

"We are asking for help from others now. To put it bluntly, we just want to take advantage of the danger of others and take advantage of the white wolf. No matter whether Qin Lang's siege is a disastrous victory or a disastrous defeat, as long as we win Lanzhou City, we will be able to gain a firm foothold."

"If he wins, it must be a disastrous victory. At that time, there is no way to trouble us. In addition, he has such a long battle line and is beyond the reach of the same state. We will have enough time to develop."

"If he fails miserably, we don't have to keep our promise. As long as we have a good relationship with Queen Mother Xiao, the same state will be ours?"

"Our enemy is Li Tong. It's not Qin Lang or the Empress Dowager Xiao who borrowed Qin Lang's soldiers to weaken his strength. It's just the Empress Dowager Xiao. We have credit for it."

"..."

In terms of calculations of people's interests, Wei Qing is indeed inferior to Huo Guang. Huo Guang's considerations and analysis angles are very comprehensive. Coupled with Wei Qing's self-confidence, as long as he occupies Tongzhou City, he will not be afraid of all invading enemies. At least self-protection is no problem. of.

In the end, Huo Guang proposed a bold plan to cede everything except Tongzhou to Qin Lang. Of course, it was on the premise that Qin Lang could win.

As for whether Qin Lang can eat the big cake painted by Huo Guang, it depends on whether Qin Lang has the fate.

Wei Qing thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed to Huo Guang's plan. After all, given the current situation, he was not very optimistic about Qin Lang either.

Even if he wins, Qin Lang will definitely win miserably. At that time, he will be busy with all kinds of problems, and he will not care about Tongzhou at all. As long as he has the opportunity, he will develop rapidly and take back the cities of Tongzhou one by one.

Now that Wei Qing has agreed, Wei Zifu naturally has no opinion, no matter what, it is better than being a bandit now, she doesn't have the heart to fight for hegemony, she just wants to live her little life in peace.

Chapter 0117

After parting from Wei Qing, Meng Yu and others passed through layers of checkpoints, and finally arrived at a huge cave halfway up the mountain that was covered by dense forests.

This karst cave seems to have only a natural crack at the entrance, but in fact the interior is so empty that almost the entire mountain is empty.

Of the 30 soldiers who came from Lanzhou, there are as many as [-] here, and most of them are hiding inside the cave. The elite soldiers who have undergone rigorous training are recuperating in their own places, and it is rare to hear loud voices.

A medium-sized tent was set up in an open space near the entrance of the cave. This is Meng Wu's handsome tent. It was already dimly lit at this time, and Meng Wu and others gathered around a pot of fire to discuss the next move.

Regarding Wei Qing's proposal during the day, Meng Yu, as the chief general, must listen to the opinions of the military adviser. Although he is the one who makes the final decision, the opinion of the military adviser must not be ignored.

Jia Xu gnawed on a burnt rabbit leg, rubbed the oil on his beard directly, and said as he ate, "It would be great to be able to win Tongzhou City, but our current equipment is too crude, and it is not as good as it is now." The established city defense army suffers a lot from confrontation."

"And we were the ones who helped Wei Zifu take Tongzhou City. In the end, there were countless casualties, but they picked peaches. If we really want to do this, the Lord will definitely kill us when we go back."

"My opinion, ignore their request and continue to stand still."

Sima wrongly answered, "I don't care if I don't help them, but it's not okay to stand still. With 30 people eating and drinking, the dry food we brought is almost enough to consume."

Meng Yu also has this worry. Leading troops to fight, the most fearful thing is that they will run out of food and grass. Once they are full of food, there is a high possibility of mutiny. Even well-trained soldiers will lose their momentum and unpredictable things will happen.

Jia Xu naturally knew this truth, but he didn't care, instead he said very relaxedly: "General, please rest assured, we will solve the current predicament soon."

After all, Meng Yu was experienced, the military adviser said so, he must have a hole card in his hand, so he didn't ask any more, but the young Sima Cuo was a little impatient, and tentatively asked: "Military adviser, does the lord have other arrangements for you? "

After gnawing the rabbit legs clean, Jia Xu tore off the rabbit's head and tasted it carefully. Hearing Sima Cuo's question, Jia Xu didn't hide anything, and said bluntly: "My lord didn't give me any other instructions. , just wait for the news, so no matter how difficult it is, we have to wait until the Lord's Feishu comes over."

"That's it, then let's just waste time like this?" Sima Cuo was a little disappointed.

Jia Xu took a wrong look at Sima: "General Sima is looking for something to do?"

"Yeah, every day in the cave, people are useless."

Jia Xu raised her eyebrows, and jokingly said, "Why don't the general go and flatten Master Wei's cottage?"

Sima Cuo knew that Jia Xu was joking, waved his hands and said boringly: "There are only a few thousand people in the area, and it is not interesting to win without martial arts."

They were silent for a long time, Jia Xu finally finished eating the rabbit head, sucked his fingers a few times, wiped his legs carelessly, looked down at Sima Cuo who was drawing circles on the ground with a branch, and spoke seriously Said: "If the general is really bored, I have one thing here, it depends on whether the general has the courage."

The bored Sima raised his head abruptly, and looked at Jia Xu expectantly: "The military adviser said, as long as you don't stay here, you can do whatever you want."

Jia Xu laughed wickedly, took out a sheepskin map and pointed to a place and said, "This place is called Beilan Mountain. The terrain is dangerous, but it is the most convenient road to Lanzhou."

"Here, there is a military town, which should be one of the logistics reserves of the army of the same state. If the general is brave enough, taking down this military town is equivalent to slowing down the speed of their return when the state army retreats or returns to aid. , this matter is extremely difficult and dangerous, but if it is done, the first victory in the same state will be the general's."

Before Sima wrongly agreed, Meng Qu asked seriously: "Military Master, this is not in our plan, and is the danger too high?"

Jia Xu nodded: "Basically, it's close to death, of course, it's also possible to survive unscathed."

"How do you say that?" Sima Cuo asked excitedly.

"If the Tongzhou army flees and returns unscathed, if they return to aid, they will die."

When Jia Xu said this, Meng Wu and Sima Cuo understood that as the chief general, Meng Wu could not do this, but if Sima Cuo wanted to do it, he couldn't stop him. He just persuaded: "The risk is extremely high. Daddy, you are still young, so you have to be more on the safe side."

Sima patted Meng Wu's hand by mistake, and said very firmly: "The shrouded body of horse leather, since it is on the battlefield, how can you be greedy for life and fear death, military commander, I will take this job."

"You should think about it." Jia Xu reminded.

"Think it over, military adviser." Sima Cuo was very sure of the current decision.

Jia Xu put away the map and said some precautions carefully, and let Sima Cuo take 5 people to move there quickly at night.

When Sima Cuo left, Jia Xu said to Qu'a again: "Do you want to join in the fun, little general?"

Qu'a's temper used to be very jumpy. Since Qin Lang threw him to the front line for more than half a year, he became more calm. He heard Sima Cuo's request for a battle clearly. It was a lie to say that he didn't support him, but Dian Wei was by his side. , the old brothers have only met each other not long ago, and to be honest, I am a little bit reluctant.

But since the military adviser has called the roll call, Qu A naturally won't shirk, and directly said: "The military adviser orders."

Jia Xu applauded appreciatively: "My lord's vision is good. The young general has a bright future. I will keep a distance from Sima Cuo with your [-] elite soldiers, and hide in the dark, waiting for Sima Cuo to fight the enemy. move."

Qu A clasped his fists to accept the order, and was about to get up to leave, but was dragged back by Meng Yu: "Sima Cuo hasn't left yet, why are you so anxious, we'll talk about it after dawn."

Qu Ah thought so too, laughed, and sat back next to Dian Wei. At this moment, the messenger came over with the sealed flying letter.

Meng Yu opened it, glanced at it, and quickly handed it to Jia Xu, with an excited expression on his face, he said: "The military master is very good at predicting things, and the 10 people like Sima Cuo and Qu'a are very good at using them."

Seeing the secret letter, Jia Xu laughed heartily, "Since that's the case, then I won't be polite."

Taking a refreshing sip of wine, Jia Xu said: "The Yizhou army will attack Tongzhou in the future, and judging from the current defense situation of Tongzhou, it will be impossible to resist."

"The general can send twelve teams to take over the city. Remember, every time a city is taken over, all the officials will be beheaded, and none will be left behind."

"Most of the remaining generals moved to hide outside the city of Tongzhou. When the Yizhou army attacked, they rushed into the city as soon as possible, slaughtered everyone in the city lord's mansion in the chaos, and obtained the city defense order. Remember, it must be better than Yizhou. State Army hurry up."

"In the end, Master Wei's thousands of people, I don't know if 2 people are enough for General Dian to slaughter them all?"

Dian Wei nodded without thinking, "No problem. But the one named Wei is also killed?"

Jia Xu hesitated for a moment before saying: "If the general wants to give it to the lord as a gift, it's okay. Not only the family members of Master Wei, Wei Qing, and Huo Guang can be left behind, but none of the rest will be kept."

As a general of hundreds of battles, Meng Ao has killed countless people, and he knows very well that cutting the grass does not remove the root, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates. If these few people are left behind, he feels that something is wrong, and he thinks it is better to kill them all.

Jia Xu thought for a while not to comment, and let Dian Wei decide for himself.For Jia Xu, it would be great if he could recruit two talents, Luo Weiqing and Huo Guang. As long as he cut off his roots, he would naturally have no illusions.

Dian Wei thought differently, he had met Mrs. Wei, and he thought Qin Lang would like it, that's all.

Chapter 0118 Something is wrong

In the meeting hall of Fengyu City, Qin Lang sat for a whole day, waiting for news and flying letters from various battlefields.

It was late at night, and there was still no movement outside the door of the meeting hall.

Lei Zhenzi and Huang Tianhua were by Qin Lang's side. Huang Tianhua closed his eyes and rested his mind. He didn't know if he was asleep or practicing.

Lei Zhenzi looked expectantly at the sweet potatoes and potatoes roasting in the brazier. He had never seen these two things before, and they smelled very delicious. He ate it up.

The long wait was still going on, and Qin Lang's eyes couldn't hold it anymore.

Tianji Building, a room on the sixth floor.

There were seven people sitting around the room, and Lu Kun was sitting pitifully on the ponytail behind him, with his hands hugging his knees, seemingly dozing off, but in fact his ears were pricked up, the conversation of the six people next to him, every word He will always remember it.

For him, this is a magic weapon for survival. If he doesn't take it seriously, he will really be dying.

He doesn't want to be the next Xu Song, he hasn't lived enough.

The atmosphere in the room was very depressing, because just now everyone reported today's battle situation, and the situation was not as optimistic as they imagined, and even somewhat exceeded their expectations.

Of course, Lu Kun, who was excluded from the outside world, had this kind of hunch for a long time, and now that it has come true, he actually has some joy in his heart, but he hides it very well.

According to everyone's reports, the Empress Dowager Xiao at this time is the first and the second eldest.
