Chapter 143 We are born from the same root, so why rush each other
Wei Yan can be said to be a first-rate military general, but he couldn't defeat Huang Zhong, an unknown soldier.
When did Liu Qi recruit such a powerful person? His general Huo Jun was defeated, Kuai Yue was defeated...
Wenpin was even captured, and his life and death are still unknown. Now Wei Yan is no match, and Cai Mao has aged more than ten years in an instant.
His counselors Xu Ji, Kuai Yue and others also had no good strategy to break out of the encirclement.
It would be impossible for the lord to mobilize troops and horses for less than ten days and a half, not to mention that he was trapped in Yakugou, and some generals in Jizhou would blame each other.
In other words, it was impossible for reinforcements to come, so Cai Mao sent a scout to Jizhou with a letter.
The other generals didn't know the content at all, they just thought it was a letter asking for help.
"Everyone, with my 50,000-strong army, it will not be easy for Pang Tong to advance into Yakugou. If we persist for a few more days, the lord will send reinforcements..."
Cai Mao stood up and spoke impassionedly, but his soldiers were not very enthusiastic.
The morale in Yakugou was low, but the morale of the Tiger Blade Army was high. One was declining, the other was rising.
All the generals in the Chinese army's tent requested orders to send troops to attack Cai Mao.
However, military advisor Pang Tong looked at the map for a while and said nothing.
"Military advisor, Cai Mao's army can't support it for much longer. I think it's better to pursue the victory and annihilate it in one fell swoop..."
Pioneer general Pei Yuanshao said loudly, and generals such as Zhou Cang and Wang Dahu also echoed.
This was a big deal, with more than 50,000 horses and horses, and I heard that the enemy army had run out of food and grass, so they used wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.
During this period, small groups of Jizhou soldiers came out to surrender.
It can be seen that the enemy has lost his fighting spirit. As long as he charges again, the battle will be over.
"When you catch a turtle in an urn, Shi Yuan is really a great talent."
After hearing the guards' report on the battle situation in Yakniugou, Liu Qi scrambled the chess pieces on the chessboard and said with a smile.
After calculating the time, Liu Qi took Cai Wenji and others back to Fancheng.
Xu Shu was very satisfied with leaving all the war ahead to military advisor Pang Tong and Liu Qi.
ah!
Guo Jia, who was about to win, looked at the messed up chessboard stupidly. He was only one piece away from killing the master Liu Qi's dragon.
It's a shame that you are still the Marquis, but you don't have any grace at all, and you just act shamelessly when you lose.
Tian Feng, who was watching the chess game next to him, was smiling. What he was thinking was that your genius Guo Jia was also dumbfounded. Isn't this what you often do?
"Oh, I missed it, why don't we do it again as a courtesy?"
Liu Qi then realized that he had messed up the chess pieces and asked seriously.
Guo Jia's expression, which had been different just now, instantly returned to its original state.
"Forget it, I see that my lord is a little distracted. Let's just consider this round a draw. Let's try it another day..."
"Haha, okay, Fengxiao is right."
Liu Qi shook his folding fan and said with a smile on his face.
Wow!
Tian Feng was drunk after hearing this. The flattery was so obvious that he could even hear it. Where had the backbone of the scholar gone?
It seems that I will learn more from Guo Jia in the future!
"My lord must be worried about Cai Hao's 50,000-strong army, right?"
Naturally, Tian Feng also heard the guard's report, and was initially planning to suggest that the Tiger Blade Army annihilate Cai Hao's army in one fell swoop.
Now I saw that there was no joy on the face of the master Liu Qi, and he suppressed the words that came to his lips.
"They are born from the same roots, so there is no need to rush into mutual conflict."
Just when Liu Qi suddenly said the second half of the poem, he regretted it. This was not the "seven-step poem" written by Cao Cao's son Cao Zhi.
But at this time, Cao Cao was still a bachelor, so there was no son, and Cao Zhi was not born yet.
"My lord, you are really talented in literature..."
Military advisors Guo Jia and Tian Feng looked at each other and said at the same time.
"It just feels like this poem is missing a first half!"
You must know that Guo and Tian both read poetry and books, were full of knowledge, and talked to themselves.
"Lord, what are the first two lines of this poem?"
When Guo Jia asked Liu Qi, he vaguely said that it was just a sentiment. What were the first two sentences? He couldn't say that he had stolen Cao Zhi's masterpiece.
"Report, Mr. Pang Ji, a soldier from Jizhou Mufu, is here to visit."
Following the report from the guards outside, Guo Jia and Tian Feng, who were still about to ask questions, were interrupted.
"Fengxiao, just say that I am out of town..."
"Yuan Hao, let's play another game..."
Liu Qi picked up the chess pieces in the box and said with a smile.
At this time, Pang Ji, who was waiting outside, was muttering in his heart.
The master of the palace left the matter of peace negotiation to himself. He just met the eldest son Liu Qi, who should be Ren Yonghou. How should he say this.
When someone went to Luoyang to receive a title, he made small moves behind his back, and the master was unknown. If he had won, it would have been easy to say, but now he was completely defeated.
"Oh, it turns out it's Zi Xiao who's here. Jia Wei didn't come far to greet him. It's rude and disrespectful..."
Zixiao is the Chinese character for Pang Ji. Guo Jia said with a smile and saluted with his hands clasped in fists.
"I don't dare, I don't dare. I'm grateful to you for your hard work and filial piety..."
As the two exchanged pleasantries, they entered the meeting hall.
"Hey, why don't you see Marquis Renyong?"
Pang Ji looked around. Although there was tea on the table, he didn't see Renyonghou Liu Qi come out after waiting for a long time.
"Well, my master has gone out for fun. If Zi Xiao has anything to do, just tell my military advisor."
Guo Jia took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
"ah!"
Pang Ji let out an exclamation and suddenly understood what was going on.
It seems that the eldest son Liu Qi does not want to see him. If he asks how many days he will be back, he may get the answer that there is no specific return date.
However, I have to say what needs to be said for eating the emperor's salary.
"In that case, I will just say, brother Fengxiao, I am here this time because there is a small misunderstanding between the Jizhou Mufu and Fancheng. This time I am here to discuss the matter of peace."
Just as Pang Ji was about to continue speaking, he was interrupted by a feather fan.
"What? Brother Zixiao, wait a minute. I wonder where this little misunderstanding is?"
"Eighty thousand troops plus 10,000 naval troops are attacking Fancheng. This little misunderstanding is really big."
"Forehead……"
Even though Pang Ji was a scholar, he always wanted to scold his mother. He just wanted to have a prettier face, but in the end, the genius Guo Jia didn't give him any face.
The key is how to explain it. An 80,000-strong army attacking someone is indeed no small misunderstanding.
Pang Ji waited for a long time without saying a word. He couldn't say that the general Cai Mao had decided something with the two palace masters for his own personal vendetta.
"Zixiao, now your Jizhou Mufu Cai Mao has 50,000 troops trapped in the yak ditch. Their morale is low and they have insufficient food and grass. How can you call it a peace negotiation?"
The genius Guo Jia waved his feather fan and continued talking. The more Pang Ji listened, the more helpless he became.
The word "negotiating peace" was also spoken by the Palace Master Liu Cong. Before leaving, he also told himself not to lose face.
"Zixiao, my lord's intention is not to negotiate for peace."
Pang Ji hesitated for a long time and didn't say anything. What else could he say? People had already made it clear that General Cai Hao in Yakniugou would probably become a prisoner if he charged again.
