The faulty city wall was five feet high, which was far beyond the scope of the second-level county city wall. It could be seen that Liu Yao put a lot of effort into this in order to defend himself.
Standing on the city wall, looking at the mountains in the distance, Qin Tian felt a sense of emotion in his heart. It was a pity that Liu Yao had improperly hired people. He left a general like Tai Shici with both civil and military skills unused, but instead sent two idiots, which gave him an advantage in vain.
"My lord, what should we do with Xue Li and Yu Mi?" Gao Chong and Xu Rong walked up from the city wall and stood behind Qin Tian. Xu Rong glanced at Jia Xu who was standing side by side with Qin Tian in confusion.
Xu Rong naturally knew Jia Xu. When Qin Tian asked Dong Zhuo to ask for someone, one was him and the other was Jia Xu. However, Jia Xu was not well-known at the time. He was just a minor official under Niu Fu. Although he knew him, he didn't know him.
It's not even familiar. This person gives people a very gloomy feeling. Xu Rong feels that this person is very similar to Li Ru due to his occasional aura.
It's a strange feeling that Jia Xu and Li Ru are very different in height, appearance, and body shape, but Xu Rong feels that they are very similar.
"Yeah." Qin Tian nodded, noncommittal.
"My lord, these two are generals under Liu Yao's command, and they are highly valued by Liu Yao. Why are they let go so easily?" Seeing Qin Tian's lack of reaction, Gao Chong couldn't help but frowned.
Qin Tian did not speak, but looked at Jia Xu. In fact, it was Jia Xu's idea to let Xue Li and Yu Mi go. According to Qin Tian's idea, even if these two generals were useless, they could still get rid of Liu Yao.
It is indeed a pity to just put it back after making a deal there, but since Jia Xu said it, he has his own reasons. Since Qin Tian uses Jia Xu and trusts Jia Xu's ability, although he is doubtful, he has no problem.
Asked, he did as Jia Xu said. Now that Gao Chong asked, he was also very curious.
"General Gao thinks, compared with these two, how about Tai Shi Ci?" Jia Xu did not answer, but asked Gao Chong.
"Uh..." He didn't expect Jia Xu to have such a question. Gao Chong said without thinking: "It's far from the truth. Tai Shi Ci is not only highly capable, but also thoughtful. If Xue Li hadn't squeezed him out, the malfunction wouldn't have happened."
It was captured so easily by our army."
Although they are classified as hostile, Gao Chong still admires Taishi Ci's abilities. Moreover, seeing that the situation was over last night, this person still regretted coming to rescue him. He can be regarded as a person who values love and justice. If he were not classified as hostile, Gao Chong would be very fond of it.
I am willing to make such a friend.
"If we can exchange these two people for Tai Shi Ci, does General Gao think it's worth it?" Jia Xu asked with a smile.
Uh... He was slightly startled. Gao Chong was not stupid. Jia Xu quickly came back to his senses. For a moment, his eyes widened and his mouth opened, but he was speechless.
High! So high!
Xu Rong looked at Jia Xu and finally understood why Jia Xu looked so similar to Li Ru. Both of them had a sense of strategizing in their temperament. No wonder Qingtian chose this little-known guy in the first place.
The corner of Qin Tian's mouth twitched. This Jia Xu is indeed a great person. Once he works, he will give himself a big gift!
It's not that Qin Tian never thought about subduing Tai Shi Ci and creating a divorce plan. Qin Tian also discussed it with Lao Lang and put it into action, but with little effect. Tai Shi Ci was loyal and loyal, and had both loyalty and filial piety. Now that he had joined Liu Yao, Qing Qing
Tiancheng and Liu Yao will have a battle sooner or later. Even if Liu Yao is defeated, it is unlikely that Tai Shi Ci will surrender. Given Tai Shi Ci's character, he might even avenge Liu Yao.
If Jia Xu's plan succeeds, Qingtian City will have one more top general, Taishi Ci, Gao Chong, and Gan Ning who is likely to join his army in the future. With these three people, Qingtian City will be among the top generals in the Samsara Three Kingdoms.
Will not lose to anyone.
With longing for a better future, Qin Tian looked at Jia Xu and said, "Teacher, what do you think the next step should be? Send the army to Wanling?"
"No!" Jia Xu shook his head, turned to look at Xu Rong, and said with a smile: "General Xu, with the current strength of our army, how confident is it that we can capture Wanling if we let General Xu take command of a frontal attack?"
Xu Rong frowned, made some calculations in his mind, and said with a wry smile: "Wanling is a first-class main city. With the current strength of our army, even if we add 30,000 Shanyue elite troops from General Guan Hai, we can attack Wanling by force. But
The losses will inevitably be huge. After Wanling is captured, it will be difficult to accomplish anything."
Qin Tian has such a crooked mentality that talking to these ancient literati is troublesome. He tells half of the story and lets you guess the other half. Qin Tian feels that talking to Jia Xu is simply murdering his own brain cells. He gave a helpless smile: "Teacher, yes
To put it bluntly, don’t make these convoluted twists and turns, it will give you a headache!”.
…
Wanling, Governor's Mansion.
"My lord, the defeat of this battle was all because Taishi Ci was greedy for merit and rashly plundered the refugees in Qingtian City. I asked why the guards did not fight and turned around and ran away. There was also the Wucheng County magistrate. A large number of refugees were killed by our army.
He snatched them away without even letting out a single fart. I thought I had already prepared them before. Maybe there are people in our army who are colluding with him!" Xue Li and Yu Mi knelt in front of Liu Yao. Occasionally they raised their heads and glanced at the side with sinister looks on their faces.
Taishi Ci.
Liu Yao sat on the governor's seat, closing his eyes and silently, but there was a gloomy aura about him, and the trembling brows showed that he was not as calm as he appeared. On the contrary, Liu Yao was very angry now, and the fault was lost.
, also means that the portal of Danyang has been opened by Qingtian City. If it is not taken back as soon as possible, Qingtian City will take the absolute initiative in the future. The most important thing is that Wanling, the faulty road, has no danger to defend, and the Qingtian City army can march straight in. This allows
Liu Yao couldn't accept it.
Xu Shao on the side frowned. Let’s not mention whether Taishi Ci was greedy for power, but if he said that Taishi Ci would surrender to the enemy, he would not believe it even if he was beaten to death. He looked at Liu Yao’s face and frowned slightly.
He was very familiar with Liu Yao. Obviously, Xue Li's words had made Liu Yao doubt Tai Shici's loyalty.
"Lord, this is not the time to discuss right and wrong. The top priority is to recover the fault as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!" Xu Shao took a step forward and said in a deep voice.
Xue Li glanced at Xu Shao with a resentful look and stopped talking. No matter what the process was, the fault was in his hands after all. This was an unavoidable responsibility and he couldn't shirk it even if he wanted to.
However, Xue Li was very dissatisfied with Xu Shao's pioneering work for Taishi Ci. There were not many advisers and generals available under Liu Yao's account, but although the sparrow was small, it had all the internal organs, including Xue Li, Zuo Rong, Yu Mi, Zhang Ying, and Fan Neng.
They were all natives of Danyang, but Taishi Ci, Shiyi and Xu Shao defected from other places, so they were naturally divided into factions.
Shiyi and Taishi Ci are both from Qingzhou, so they naturally stick together and have close personal relationships. However, Zhang Ying, Xue Li, Zuo Rong, Yu Mi, and Fan Neng are locals and have inextricable relationships with the local gentry.
Liu Yao relied heavily on him, while Xu Shao was from Runan. He always remained neutral and did not favor any side easily.
This time, it seemed that all the blame could be placed on Taishi Ci, but Xu Shao favored Taishi Ci with his words, causing him to fall short. Naturally, he felt dissatisfaction and resentment towards Xu Shao in his heart.
Looking at Xue Li's eyes, Xu Shao felt angry in his heart. Now that the enemy is facing them, these people don't think of a good way to retreat from the enemy, but they still think of quarreling with each other. It is really stupid.
"Ziyi, this incident is all caused by you. I am ordering you to take the blame and perform meritorious service. You will lead 300 million troops and recapture the fault. Are you convinced?" Liu Yao looked at Taishi Ci.
"General, take the order!" Taishi Ci glanced at Xue Li coldly and stepped forward to take the order.
Zuo Rong frowned when he heard this. He, like Xue Li and Yu Mi, had a repulsive attitude towards Tai Shi Ci. Tai Shi Ci was very capable. This was acknowledged by everyone including Xue Li, but admitting it did not mean that they were willing to put their hands on
The power was separated, so Taishi Ci has been using suppressive methods. If Taishi Ci has made a contribution in regaining the fault this time, it will not be a good thing for them. Thinking of this, he said: "My lord, I recommend General Fan Neng as the
Supervise the army and go out with General Taishi."
Supervising the army, to put it bluntly, means monitoring the commander. If the battle is defeated, the responsibility belongs to the commander, but if the battle is won, the supervisor can share half of the credit. Zuo Rong asked Fan Neng to come forward. If Taishi Ci is defeated, nothing will be mentioned. If
If the fault is recovered by luck, half of the credit will be shared.
"That's fine." Liu Yao told the truth. After this incident, he was not very relieved about Taishi Ci. Hearing this, he nodded and looked at Fan Neng who was standing aside and said, "Fan Neng, are you willing?"
Fat Cha, how can you not be willing? Fan Neng's face flashed with joy, and he immediately nodded and said: "The general is willing!"
Taishi Ci sighed slightly, and suddenly felt a little concerned about Liu Yao's attitude. His faith was strong, but it didn't mean that he was a fool. How could Taishi Ci not know that Liu Yao was on guard against him? To say that he didn't mind at all,
Then he is a saint, so what can he do if he just cares about it?
Fan Neng is not bad. Although he is mediocre, he also has self-awareness. He will not give random orders like Xue Li. He will get half of the military merit. It is already very good to be able to do this.
With a complicated mood, Taishi Ci set out with 800 of his own soldiers, 30,000 soldiers and horses, and ten days of food and grass. Wanling was not far from the enemy, and it was very convenient to transport food.
, At the same time, Liu Yao was also afraid that Taishi Ci would rebel, so he strictly controlled the food and grass. Although Taishi Ci was unhappy about this, he had nothing to do.
