A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1326

[Chapter 1316 Huangyan Scam]

Qi Ning claimed that he could buy at least five days for the Chu State transportation team, which really surprised Shen Tuluo.

Shentuluo divided his troops to cruise in Huai Shui, just to beware of Chu people finding opportunities to transport food, and he had already figured out that the food delivered to the Qin Huai Army was in Huize City. They sent people to keep an eye on the movements of Huize City.

As long as Huize City transports grain out of the city, the fleet will immediately take precautions.

Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, one hundred battles will not be imperiled, this is the common sense of the military, Shen Tuluo will not be ignorant, so he is also very clear about the situation of Chu State.

After the last Qinhuai War, the state of Chu suffered huge losses and the treasury was empty. Shen Tuluo even knew that it was precisely because the Huainan palace was confiscated and a large amount of property was seized from the East China Sea that the state treasury of Chu was restored to some vitality. To be able to prepare a lot of grain fodder.

The granary of Huize City was already stored by the Chu State with great effort. Shen Tuluo knew that with the current state of Chu State, it would be extremely difficult to raise more food, so he kept his eyes on Huize City. , and his fleet has been guarding the line of Huize City.

Sending Lu Zheng to the upper reaches of the Huai River is nothing more than to be foolproof, to beware of Chu State’s use of Huize City to attract the attention of the Eastern Qi navy, but to smuggle grain from the upper reaches, although they know that Chu State will not be able to take out too much food Come, but Shentuluo hopes that a grain of grain will not be sent to the other side.

The Dongqi Marine Division, with Shentuluo’s team as the main force, sits in the center of Huai Shui. Although Lu Zheng’s activity area is upstream, Shentuluo has always maintained contact with Lu Zheng.

In order to keep in touch, Shentuluo specially trained homing pigeons. Every three days, Shentuluo would let the pigeons out, and he didn’t need to bring any letters. As long as Lu Zheng saw the pigeons, he knew that everything was fine. Returning, also means that everything went well for Lu Zheng.

Shentu Luo led his subordinates to land, but he was not worried that Huize City would be able to transport food smoothly. Lu Zheng didn’t see a carrier pigeon for three days, so he would definitely go down the river, and he would be able to arrive at Huize in two or three days at the latest. In the area in front of the city, Chu State has to transport grain, and three days is definitely not enough. Halfway through, if Lu Zheng’s fleet appears, it will definitely defeat the grain team in one fell swoop.

But Qi Ning was full of confidence at the moment, which made Shen Tuluo very suspicious.

“The Governor is wondering why there are five days?” Qi Ning said with a smile, “Actually, it’s not too long.

If Lu Zheng didn’t notice it, it would have taken longer.”

“What do you mean?”

“Actually, it’s okay to tell the Governor.” Qi Ning said, “Does the Governor know that there is a place on the upper reaches of the Huai River called Huangyan Ferry?”

“Huangyan Ferry?” Shen Tuluo was even more suspicious. In the upper reaches of the water, it was two days’ journey away from the place where he evacuated, but he didn’t understand why Qi Ning mentioned Huangyandu at this time.

Qi Ning smiled and said, “I have already sent someone to Liangcheng, and told them to organize people to ferry grain to Huangyan.”

“Ferry to Huangyan?” Shen Tuluo sneered: “Apart from the granary of Huize City, where do you have any other food? What kind of food is transported to Huangyandu? Even if there is food, don’t you know that Lu Zheng’s fleet has been staring there.”

“Huangyandu is a relatively narrow place along the Huai River, and it takes the shortest time to cross the river. It’s natural for Lu Zheng to stare there.” Qi Ning said with a smile: “Captain, if Liangcheng organizes manpower to transport a large amount of food and grass to Huangyandu, I wonder if Lu Zheng will stare at him?”

Shen Tuluo snorted coldly.

With a sound, he was even more suspicious in his heart. Not to mention that your Chu country has no other surplus food and grass to transport to Huangyan Ferry, even if you do secretly gather food and grass, how can it be transported to Huangyan Ferry?

Lu Zheng was cruising upstream, and the most alert place was at Huangyan Ferry. Wouldn’t it be a fool’s dream to want to transport grain across the river from Huangyan Ferry?

Suddenly, Shentuluo’s body was shocked, and he seemed to understand something, and two words came out of his mouth: “Fake grain!”

“The great governor is the great governor!” Qi Ning smiled: “It’s in one sentence. Grain and grass, the bag is full of weeds and bricks, so naturally there is no flaw from the outside, Lu Zheng will naturally stare at Huang Yandu’s movement, even if he doesn’t see the carrier pigeon, he may not dare to leave easily. Wouldn’t it be easy to give up Huangyandu, let us transport the grain smoothly? By the time he reacts, the grain from my side has already been transported.”

Shen Tuluo took a deep breath, not expecting Qi Ning to be so cunning.

He knew that what Qi Ning said was not wrong. If Huang Yandu pretended to be transporting grain, Lu Zheng would definitely keep an eye on him, and he would attack just waiting for the grain to cross the river. He knew that with Lu Zheng’s character, he would never Possibly abandoned.

“The Governor should understand why I told you this.” Qi Ning sighed: “The food crosses the river, and the predicament of the Qinhuai Army can be solved immediately. I know that the Governor wants to restore the country, but you have no chance. The capital is broken. Only relying on the soldiers and horses in Puyang, how can we talk about restoring the country? Although Linghu Xu can rule the country, his ability to manage the army is really not worth mentioning

. Luo smiled and said, “Even if the entire army is finally wiped out, His Royal Highness will lead me to fight to the last moment with our soldiers!”

“His Royal Highness?” Qi Ning chuckled and asked, “Duan Shao took the soldiers to Puyang, Others don’t know it, but the governor knows very well in his heart that it’s just a dream. It is impossible to reach Puyang at all, so don’t forget that those Fei Chan Mi Ren are still by Duan Shao’s side, but Duan Shao doesn’t even know that they have taken refuge in my Great Chu!”

Shen Tu Luo’s pupils shrank.

He knew that Feichan Miren had taken refuge in Chu, and he knew that something was wrong. Of course, those Feichan Miren could not really accompany Duan Shao to Puyang and follow Duan Shao. Of course, they were ordered by Qi Ning. Those ninjas were not on guard, and Feichan Miren could easily assassinate Duan Shao as long as he found an opportunity.

Duan Shao is the banner of Qi State’s restoration of the country, and it is precisely because of Duan Shao’s existence that the restoration of the country has a name, and Duan Shao can gather people’s hearts, but once Duan Shao has any mistakes, the Daqi royal family will have no successor.

In addition to Duan Shao, the crown prince of Dongqi, there were originally two princes: King Taishan and King Linzi, but King Linzi was poisoned, and King Taishan had died. Duan Shao was the only heir of Qi. If Duan Shao also died Now, Qi will have no successor, and naturally there is no way to restore the country.

“Those who know the current affairs are the heroes.” Qi Ning’s expression became serious: “The state of Qi is over, and there is no hope. If the great governor can submit to my great Chu, his talents will definitely have a place to be used. Moreover, Puyang’s soldiers and horses will also die. Escape from here!”

“Escape from death?”

“No matter who wins or loses in this battle, once there is a result, the next peak of soldiers will definitely point to Puyang.” Qi Ning said lightly: “The Governor thinks they can always defend Puyang? ”

Shen Tuluo knew this for a long time.

Although he was in Huai Shui, the morale of Puyang was also clear.

The Qi army went out of Maling Mountain and took advantage of the confrontation between the Chu army and the Han army. They expanded aggressively and seized a lot of land from the Han army. When the morale was strong, unexpectedly, the backyard was on fire. In Lingshan, Qi Jun was helpless if he wanted to return the aid, and the morale that had been boosted instantly fell to the bottom of the valley.

Linghu Xu fled to the north, and immediately ordered the Qi army stationed in the northern cities to gather up and defend Puyang City.

Puyang City is an important town in the north. It is huge and sturdy, and its geographical location is easy to defend and difficult to attack. When the Qi army evacuated from other cities, they swept away the food and grass and brought them all to Puyang. Now Puyang has little problems in terms of food and grass, but They did not dare to split their troops out of the city, but instead made every effort to reinforce Puyang’s fortifications.

Shen Tuluo knew that the current situation of the Qi army was almost waiting to be killed. When the Qi army invaded the Han land, there were many murders and arson, which made the people of the Han people angry and resentful. The Qi army in Puyang could not get the support of the local people at all. Like a tortoise, they huddled in Puyang City. The longer the time passed, the more demoralized their morale would be. Once Chu and Han were victorious, the winner would be when their morale was strong. They would move to attack Puyang. There was no need to force the city. After a year and a half of encirclement, the Qi army was defeated without a fight.

In the end, Qi Jun could not hold Puyang no matter what.

“Even if I can’t hold it, what can I do?” Shen Tuluo said coldly: “It’s nothing more than perishing with Puyang City.”

Qi Ning sighed: “The governor said this very lightly. I heard that the governor loves soldiers like Son, but these words are cruel and ruthless. Does the Governor really want to watch tens of thousands of soldiers die in Puyang? And those innocent people in the city are buried with them?”

Shen Tuluo stared at Qi Ning with sharp eyes. , UU Kanshu www.sonicmtl.com asked: “How are you doing?”

“Their lives are actually in the hands of the Governor.” Qi Ning said: “I know that the Governor is the number one general in Qi. The officers and soldiers are all in awe of the Governor, and they will do whatever the Governor says. In the current situation, I believe that the soldiers of the Qi army in Puyang do not want to fight any more. Most of them have wives, children and mothers. An impossible goal is to die on the battlefield and leave behind his wife, children, mother, and no one would be willing.” Staring at Shen Tuluo: “If the Governor can persuade them to surrender, I guarantee that they will be safe and sound, and those who are willing to return to their hometowns will let them. If I go to see my parents, wives and children, and want to continue to eat rations, I will also properly arrange them and incorporate them into our army, so that no one will sacrifice in vain.”

Shen Tuluo looked into Qi Ning’s eyes, and after a while, he laughed suddenly and said mockingly: “I only think that the Jinyi Qi family is good at fighting the enemy on the battlefield, but I don’t want it to be full of conspiracy and tricks now. You persuaded me to surrender to the state of Chu, it turned out to be You want me to persuade Qi Jun to surrender, hahaha…, the surname is Qi, you really have a good wishful thinking!”
