Chapter 457 One and thousands
Green Eyebrow Army Camp.
After Yu Chaozong returned to the tent, he breathed a sigh of relief. He took off his cloak and handed it to his personal soldiers. He looked at Zheng Gongru who had been waiting here and asked, "Are you waiting for me all the time?"
Zheng Gongru leaned over and said, "The boss had explained before, and said that he had something to discuss with me after he came back, so I didn't dare to leave."
Yu Chaozong smiled and said, "Actually, you just go back and rest. If I want to find you after I come back, I will send someone."
Zheng Gongru reached out to take the cloak and signaled his personal soldiers to go out. Yu Chaozong's personal soldiers glanced at him, his face feeling a little uncomfortable.
After hanging up the cloak, Zheng Gongru said, "Boss, how are you talking about this discussion? I guess Luo Geng is going to play again."
This is a nonsense that seems very smart but has no use at all.
Yu Chaozong said: "That old fox Luo Geng has contacted me secretly before and wanted to get rid of Cui Yan. I guess he is already thinking about getting rid of me after he goes back."
Zheng Gongru smiled and said, "If he really wants to attack our Yanshan Camp immediately, then Luo Geng is just an idiot. In my opinion, he probably has to wait for the city to break out before he will take action. He wants to be the fisherman and wait for the fisherman's benefits."
Yu Chaozong nodded, walked to the chair and sat down, took out a wooden box to prepare for medicine. Suddenly, he remembered that Zheng Gongru was still here, so he pretended to be looking for something else and put down the wooden box.
"Luo Geng wants me to attack Xicheng and Beicheng."
Yu Chaozong said: "Although we have sufficient troops, the Jizhou army has blocked all six city gates now, and they cannot get out, so we don't need to attack at the same time in both directions, and the troops are consumed too much."
Zheng Gongru said: "Luo Geng and Liu Li must have agreed. Luo Geng retreated and handed over to our Yanshan Camp and Yuzhou Army to fight. They each attacked in two directions and attacked at the same time. The huge labor consumption was unimaginable. Luo Geng retreated just to preserve his strength."
He looked at Yu Chaozong and continued, "Luo Geng and Liu Li are going to use siege to consume our troops. Liu Li pretends to attack and act like a show, let us attack the main attack. Jizhou is so strong that even if we attack, we will lose countless soldiers."
Yu Chaozong glanced at Zheng Gongru with appreciation. What Zheng Gongru said was exactly what Yu Chaozong was thinking.
He could also see that Luo Geng and Liu Li were just trying to use the siege to consume the forces of Yanshan Camp and Jizhou Army.
It would be better for Yanshan Camp and Jizhou Army to fight both sides, and Luo Geng and Liu Li can easily clean up the mess.
"How could they tell the truth to me and how could they look down on me if they were so arrogant as Luo Geng and Liu Li?"
Yu Chaozong sighed: "Even if I have tens of thousands of troops, in the eyes of Luo Geng and Liu Li, I am always a thief..."
When he said this, something very complicated flashed in Yu Chaozong's eyes.
Zheng Gongru happened to see it, and he speculated that one of the complex things must be inferiority complex.
Not to mention that people like Luo Geng and Liu Li look down on the rebels, in fact, in Yu Chaozong's own heart, he always look down on the rebels.
Although Yu Chaozong could not be considered a famous family, his father was in charge of Yizhou Prefecture, and the teachings he received since childhood were different from those of ordinary people.
When his father was dating, he was also talking and laughing, but there were no white scholars when he was dating.
So Zheng Gongru sneered a few times in his heart.
"Luo Geng and Liu Li want me to be fooled, so how could I easily fall into their plan?"
Yu Chaozong said: "I ordered the dispatch of three or five thousand men to Xicheng and stationed in the camp of Luo Geng in Xicheng, so that these three or five thousand men would drag up smoke and dust when they marched, and the banner of 20,000 people."
Zheng Gongru immediately praised: "The master's plan."
Yu Chaozong said: "We only attack the northern city. If there is any accident, the army can retreat north.
......My second brother is extremely brave, let him..."
He was stunned after saying this, and then sighed.
He actually forgot that Zhuang Wudi had left the camp.
"well......"
Zheng Gongru sighed and said, "It's all my fault. He offended the Second Head. He was angry with me and would leave without saying goodbye. If I hadn't contradicted the Second Head, he wouldn't have left when the First Head was about to hire people."
Zheng Gongru said with a guilty look: "Now the boss needs a brave general to attack the city. The second boss is the most suitable, but because of me, he left, so I might as well go and find him back now, even if I beg you, I will kneel until he comes back."
Yu Chaozong's face darkened. He glanced at Zheng Gongru and said, "What does it have to do with you for the time being? He is not that narrow-minded person. If he left, he might have gone back to the mountain village."
After taking a sip of tea, he said, "Chang Dingsui's courage is not inferior to his second brother. I have sent someone to summon Chang Dingzhou to come. It is enough for them to lead the troops."
He looked at Zheng Gongru and said, "From tomorrow, you will supervise the construction of siege equipment. There is no hurry to attack the city, and you need to create a large number of equipment. I will grab some of the tower cars in the Qingzhou army, but it is far from enough."
"The crossbow on the Jizhou city wall is sharp, and it is also necessary to attack the city with a shield formation. In addition to building a tower siege, a large number of shields must be created to suppress the archers on the city wall with a tower chariot and approach the city with a shield formation."
Yu Chaozong said: "There are dozens of soldiers standing on the Qingzhou Army's chariot. I have carefully looked at it and transformed it. The soldiers can get up from the back of the chariot and jump onto the city wall from the top of the chariot."
Zheng Gongru said: "In addition, we can also mobilize all soldiers. When siege, each person brings a bag of soil to the city, and then piles the soil under Jizhou city and cover it with shield formation. Even if a ramp is piled up, it should be enough for more than ten days."
Yu Chaozong frowned slightly and said, "If you attack with such a method, you will suffer heavy casualties."
Zheng Gongru said: "Even if there are casualties, it's okay. Now we have tens of thousands of Qingzhou troops surrendering troops, and we ask them to transport the land."
Yu Chaozong was silent for a moment and shook his head and said, "These are all elite soldiers who are good at fighting..."
Zheng Gongru's heart moved.
He immediately said tentatively: "In our own words, it will be smoother and will not cause mutiny from surrendering troops. Those elite Qingzhou troops who are good at fighting should be left to attack the city defense."
Yu Chaozong did not say anything, neither agreed nor denied it.
From the second day, tens of thousands of Green Eyebrow soldiers were mobilized. They scattered out to cut down trees and demolished houses in the surrounding villages. Most of the nearby villages and towns have been abandoned, and all the doors and wooden boards and useful ones are removed and transported back.
The less they are in a hurry to fight, the more pressure they put on the defenders in Jizhou City. They stood on the city wall and watched the enemies outside the city busy every day. Seeing that there were more and more cars to attack them, they could naturally guess what they were in.
And these days, the city is not very peaceful.
Zeng Ling ordered the city to search for the whereabouts of Luojing, but this was just a nominal matter. He just wanted to know the place where Luojing was, or where Li Chizang was.
The more patient the siege preparations outside the city were, the more impatient Zeng Ling was and the more scared Zeng Ling was, because he knew very well now that what he saw in his eyes was not all the enemies.
Even if he fought to the death, at least 300,000 troops outside the city, he would still not be able to defend Jizhou because what should be come will come sooner or later.
General Liu Ge was ordered to patrol the city, but he felt more and more uncomfortable. He was guessing the thoughts of the Jiedushi, so he felt uncomfortable.
Tens of thousands of defenders in the city were preparing to fight for the Jiedushi, but the Jiedushi was thinking about how to hide it.
Before this, Liu Ge never doubted the sincerity of the Jiedushi treating his subordinates, and he always felt that he had not followed the wrong person.
However, these days,
If he wants him to go back, Zeng Ling can't wait to ask if he has noticed it. Every time he asks, Liu Ge feels sad.
He thought, nothing more than life and death, what else is there to be scary?
The soldiers are willing to fight to the death, but they may not be able to defend themselves. Even if they cannot defend themselves, it would be fine if the brothers died in battle.
Life and death together with life and death.
Liu Ge looked up at the sky, which was a little gloomy. He didn't know if it would rain, and he didn't care. His heart was even more gloomy than the sky.
"You guys keep searching."
Liu Ge waved his hand and signaled his team to continue walking forward.
He looked back and saw that the place where he sat down was the abandoned Confucius Temple. After a moment of silence, he stood up and walked into Confucius Temple.
Master Zhou’s mud statue should have been repaired by someone. It looks mottled but complete. He thought he didn’t know who it was, and he could still be in the mood to take care of Master Zhou and his old man.
He came in and saw a long time ago that the statue of Master's mud had collapsed a lot.
"General."
Just as Liu Ge was stunned, someone suddenly spoke, which scared Liu Ge. He immediately grabbed the hilt of the knife.
"Who is it!"
Liu Ge asked.
"Tang is against."
Hearing this name, Liu Ge's face changed suddenly, but his hand holding the hilt of the knife subconsciously released.
Tang Pidian walked out slowly from behind and hugged Liu Ge.
Liu Ge looked at Tang Pidian and asked, "You dare to appear in front of me, aren't you afraid that I will take you back?!"
Tang Pidian said in a plain tone: "First, you won't fight with me, second, you can't beat me, you can't do it either."
Tang Pidian looked out and Liu Ge's soldiers had already left.
He sat down on the steps and said, "I just want to ask the general one."
Liu Ge probably guessed what he was going to ask at this time, so he shook his head: "If I leave at this time, I am sorry for my morality, my identity, and my conscience."
Tang Pidian nodded: "I probably know the general's idea, but I just don't give up. It's not that I don't give up, but that I don't give up, but Li Chi."
He looked at Liu Ge and said, "Li Chi said I would like to persuade you. I told him that General Liu is the most commanding general, and a qualified general has always been willing to die in battle than retreat, even if the person he fought for was not worth his life."
"I said you will die with ignorance. This is your choice. I understand the idea of a soldier the most, so I know that for General Liu, death in battle is the ending and liberation, and it is also a fulfillment. But Li Chi thinks it is better to persuade him."
Liu Ge stood there, looking a little cramped. After leaving the hilt of the knife, he didn't know where to put his hand. The more he listened to Tang Pidding's words, the less he didn't know where to put his hand, and even trembled slightly.
Tang Pidian said: "I asked Li Chi why he persuaded him. Li Chi said... General Liu is a friend."
He got up and patted the dirt on his butt.
"I've finished saying what I should say. If it were my own thoughts, I wouldn't say these words, because if it were me, I would probably choose the same as the general, and at worst I would die in battle."
After saying this, Tang Pidian turned around and walked backwards, raised his hand and shook it.
"There will be no future."
After saying these four words, others are about to leave Confucius Temple.
Liu Ge looked at Tang Pidian's back, and after a long silence, he muttered to himself two words, his eyes slightly red.
"Thanks."
At this moment, Tang Pidian suddenly turned around and asked, "What if we can save you and your subordinates? There will be thousands of subordinates in the general."
