Chapter 402: Conspiracy
During this extraordinary period, Li Yijun did not tell anyone about his plan.
In the Wei army camp, Jia Xu was as confident as he was.
He looked very calm, but this made Xiao Yuming anxious.
"Military advisor, when are we going to take Qiao County like this? Be careful, things may change if you wait too late!"
Jia Xu leisurely poured himself a cup of tea and tasted it slowly.
Xiao Yuming became impatient when he saw him like this, "Commander, this is not the time to be calm. This Li Yijun is such a thief. If we let him escape these days, we will be guilty."
Jia Xu slowly finished the tea, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Remember not to be impatient when it comes to the military formation, General. In the past few days, let the soldiers be more careful. Maybe Li Yijun can't stand his loneliness and take the initiative."
Attack."
Xiao Yuming frowned and said: "According to the reports from the scouts, he only has 30,000 people. Could it be that with just 30,000 people, he dares to counterattack?"
Jia Xu smiled and said: "Why don't you dare? General, don't forget that when the famous Chu State general Xiang Nantian surrounded Chang'an, His Majesty didn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands. Why not take the initiative to attack? Even General Chen Qingzhi's men
There are only a few thousand people who dare to attack the Chu army's tent."
Xiao Yuming said: "Today is different from the past. Although this Li Yijun is smart, he can't compare with your Majesty. And I and you, the military advisor, are not the arrogant Xiang Nantian."
Jia Xu nodded and said: "This sounds reasonable, but you still have to guard against things that should be guarded against."
As Jia Xu expected, Li Yijun sent a general with 10,000 troops to attack the Wei camp late at night two days later.
Ten thousand people are all cavalry, which is the most advanced combat power that Qiaojun can produce at present.
Xiao Yuming was awakened by the noise of the night attack. He suddenly got out of bed and put on his armor as quickly as possible.
At this time, Jia Xu walked into his camp, clasped his fists at him and said, "General, please be patient for a moment. The enemy will retreat soon."
Xiao Yuming wondered: "Ten thousand people, all cavalry, are obviously a big sneak attack. Why did the military advisor say they will withdraw soon?"
Jia Xu shook off the cold dew on his clothes, sat by the fire, stretched out his hand, looked at the rising flames, and said as if murmuring: "Intuition, at this time, Li Yijun will not be stupid enough to fight with us, he is sure
What conspiracy awaits us?"
Suddenly, a scout rushed into the camp and said, "Report to General Xiao and military advisor that the Liang army suddenly retreated."
Jia Xu asked: "In which direction did they withdraw their troops?"
The scout said: "We are withdrawing our troops to the valley on the right side of Qiaojun."
Jia Xu suddenly smiled at Xiao Yuming and said, "They come and go in a hurry."
Xiao Yuming asked: "Why did they retreat to the valley instead of returning to the city?"
Jia Xu is also thinking about this issue.
"By marching from the direction of this valley and detouring for hundreds of miles, we can reach the grain road above, where we have stored a lot of grain. However, this is a dangerous road, and they are cavalry, so walking may be inconvenient.
"
Xiao Yuming heard his muttering to himself and said: "There is no room for failure in the food road. No matter what their thoughts are, we can't just sit back and watch the food road. Military strategist, send troops to chase them!"
Jia Xu shook his head, "No! Send an additional 30,000 reinforcements to Liangdao and send a general to attack the city."
Xiao Yuming said: "At this time, attack the city?"
Jia Xu nodded heavily, "Attack the city!"
…
In the canyon.
Li Yijun was sitting on a chair, waving a feather fan, a bit like Zhuge Liang.
A general came to his side, cupped his fists and said, "Prime Minister, I haven't seen any pursuers."
Li Yijun nodded lightly, "Let's explore again."
He waved his feather fan more and more frequently.
Some beads of sweat began to appear on my forehead.
He led ten thousand troops himself and set up an ambush here.
However, no Jia Xu or pursuing troops arrived.
It seems that he really underestimated him.
To be honest, Li Yijun was a little unwilling.
This is a good opportunity. As long as there are pursuers, no matter how many there are, as long as they pass through this valley, they will die as many as they come.
But, they didn't come.
All is ready except for the opportunity.
It's a pity that this east wind is not blowing towards Liang country.
After a while, a scout came to report that the Wei army was attacking the city.
Moreover, the siege posture looked very fierce.
Completely different from the previous harassment.
This time, Wei Jun was serious.
Li Yijun slowly closed his eyes and said unwillingly: "Let's go, withdraw the troops and return to the city."
At this time, a general asked: "Prime Minister, do we still want to send troops to burn their grain roads?"
Li Yijun shook his head feebly, coughed a few times suddenly, and choked back what he wanted to say.
Seeing this, the general said anxiously: "Prime Minister...you...are you okay?"
Li Yijun said it was okay, "It's okay, it's just that it's the season change and some people are infected with the wind and cold. It won't help if we burn their grain channels now."
When his 20,000 troops returned to the city, the Wei army that was violently attacking the city also retreated.
Li Yijun took the mountain road and entered the city gate from another direction.
The main reason why Qiaojun is so easy to defend but difficult to attack is because of its special geography. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, making it difficult to march.
Moreover, there are so many mountain roads and they are so complicated that it is impossible to know which road to take to approach Qiaojun.
But Li Yijun knew all the routes around Qiaojun.
Therefore, he was able to come and go freely while the Wei army was chasing and intercepting him.
After the attacking Wei soldiers withdrew, Li Yijun returned to his residence and sat in meditation.
Suddenly a general came in a hurry and muttered: "Prime Minister, something bad has happened!"
Li Yijun rubbed his eyes and asked, "Why are you so panicked?"
The general clasped his fists and said: "The Wei army is divided into six groups and is attacking the towns around Qiaojun. Many governors of the southern towns said that they are too busy to take care of themselves and cannot send reinforcements..."
Li Yijun frowned and said: "This is an expected thing, why are you so panicked? Are there other things?"
The general thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said solemnly: "The governors of Yanshan County, Guanglin County, Changxing County and other six counties have announced their surrender to Wei."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yijun coughed violently.
He really didn't expect that at this juncture, something like this would actually happen!
How hateful!
When the general saw that Li Yijun was weak, he secretly clenched his fists and knelt down with a plop, "Prime Minister, now the country has no owner, the people are unmotivated, and the money and food are poor. As a result, many places have surrendered. If this continues, I'm afraid I
…us……"
Li Yijun looked at him with a smile and asked, "What do you want to say?"
He kowtowed to Li Yijun and said: "Prime Minister, if that doesn't work, let's surrender! Wei Jun said before that if the Prime Minister is willing to surrender, no matter what happens, we will have no worries about food and clothing in this life!"
Li Yijun asked: "What's your name?"
The general replied: "The last general is Zhang Yuan!"
Li Yijun nodded, "Now that we know the truth, you can go back first and I will give you an answer tomorrow. I will have to think about whether to surrender or fight. I have to think about it overnight."
Zhang Yuan stood up, cupped his fists and said, "I hope the Prime Minister can think for himself."
After saying this, he left here under the watchful eyes of Li Yijun.
Before he even left the house, he was stabbed in the heart by a hidden arrow from nowhere, and he died with his eyes open.
Li Yijun, who was still in the room, stared at the candlelight in front of the window and murmured: "Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan, I want to kill you because I hope you can be reincarnated as soon as possible and change your mind." The people outside the house listened,
Chapter completed!
