Chapter 152 Are you a distinguished military advisor?
Chapter 152
Quickly arriving at Qingniu Mountain, Xu Shenji delivered the letter to Cheng Dalei.
"The boss is from Youzhou."
"Oh." Cheng Dalei took the letter and asked casually: "Where is he now?"
"I asked him to wait at Feihu Village, and he said he wanted to wait for the boss's reply."
Cheng Dalei opened the letter and scanned it roughly.
"Master, what's in the letter?"
"Let us draw a thousand soldiers to help them attack Hushan." Cheng Dalei threw the letter into the stove.
"This..." Xu Shenji said: "Master, we can't send him these soldiers. He obviously wants us to fight dogs, but if we don't send troops, I'm afraid he will come directly to beat us. This... this... is big
Master, what do you think we should do?"
"If you eat a jujube, you have to pull out a tree. This is the rule of Jianghu Road. Well, now they want us to return the tree." Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "Come here, get the paper for me, the boss.
Here comes the pen."
I spread out the rice paper, dipped my pen in thick ink, pondered for a moment, then put my pen on the paper and wrote a reply to Li Shanyan.
"Your distinguished military advisor..."
Xu Shenji came to Feihu Village with Cheng Dalei's reply and handed the letter to the soldier. Strangely enough, the soldier took the reply and mounted his horse and left without saying a word.
...Why are you in such a hurry? I am planning to entertain people. Xu Shenji shouted at his back: "Aren't you going to stay for dinner?"
Teng!
The other party walked faster.
Without stopping, he returned to Youzhou City overnight and handed the letter to Li Shanyan.
Li Shanyan made a cup of tea and read Cheng Dalei's reply to him while sipping the tea.
"Dear Military Advisor:
Is it a letter written to me by Commander Li Shanyan, who is the strategist and master of all strategies? I let the horsemen of the village read it, I let the cooks of the village read it, and I let all the brothers read it together. I still couldn’t believe that the military advisor would give it to me in person.
Write a letter. There is supreme wisdom contained in the lines. Every word is a wonderful saying to me. I read it word by word and read it over and over again. I want to mount it on the wall to let my descendants know that his ancestors
It is also such an honor to receive a personal letter from the military advisor.』
Li Shanyan's hands trembling while serving the tea, and his body was covered with goosebumps. He finally understood where Pei Xizhi's nonsense came from.
He continued to look down.
"Since I surrendered to the King of Youzhou, I have been living in glory every day. I feel that my food tastes better, I walk more vigorously, and I can walk up to the fifth floor without gasping for breath. Boss Xiong doesn't know how to cherish such kindness, Brother Shanzhai
After knowing this, everyone shared the same hatred and vowed to fight Boss Xiong until death. A thousand brothers were ready to go and listened to the military advisor's orders at any time.』
Li Shanyan nodded. Although Cheng Dalei's words were crude, he seemed to be quite sensible. As for the crudeness... he probably just entered the officialdom and didn't know how to flatter him, so he used too much force.
"... However, there are more than 5,000 people in the village, including 3,000 old, weak, women and children. It is freezing today and the village lacks food and clothing. Everyone is scraping tree bark and digging grass roots to survive in the mountains. If they go out to fight,
There is no one in the village who is old and weak to peel off tree barks or dig grass roots. Of course, everyone has a duty to do things for the King of Youzhou. Some old people are already preparing ropes and would rather commit suicide than become a burden to the King of Youzhou. But I think, Wang Ren of Youzhou
Dao Weihuai will never let this happen. So I would like to borrow some supplies from King Youzhou. The list of supplies is enclosed with this letter."
Only then did Li Shanyan notice that there was another piece of paper in the envelope. He took it out and opened it on the table.
"One hundred thousand catties of rice"
Li Shanyan was startled. Cheng Dalei must have gone crazy with hunger. When he opened his mouth, it was like a lion opening his mouth.
"Two thousand pairs of leather armor
One thousand pairs of military boots
Five hundred army horses
One hundred iron bows and one hundred thousand feathered arrows
...』
Li Shanyan couldn't even drink a sip of tea. He originally thought that Cheng Dalei wanted some rations for the winter because the village was short of food. This was reasonable but nothing. But the list of supplies that Cheng Dalei issued... Do you want to
Attack Youzhou City?
Isn't this just kidding yourself?
Li Shanyan thought for a while and went to Yang Longting's palace overnight with this letter.
Yang Longting read the letter and was silent for a long time.
"Has he lost his mind and gone crazy?"
"I... don't quite understand what he is thinking. He specifically reported it to the city lord, who will make the decision."
Yang Long stopped and thought for a while, then said: "If he doesn't want to send troops, it's reasonable. After all, he is his own people, so naturally he doesn't want to be used by us. But I don't know what his attitude is in his heart... In this way, the warehouse still has
Send several hundred pairs of military boots to him. Tell him when to kill Boss Xiong and make up for the rest."
"Do you really want to give him supplies?" Li Shanyan.
"I'm just trying to see if he will send troops. I'm not rich enough to use my own money to support bandits."
Yang Long stopped in the room and took a few steps, then suddenly asked: "How is the situation over at Fuhu Mountain?"
"Luo Tie has gone to handle this matter. He ordered a thousand soldiers and horses, plus the bandits from Green Forest Road, a total of two thousand people. There should be news in the next two days."
"The terrain of Fuhu Mountain is complicated, and it is mostly mountains, making it difficult for cavalry to attack. Although Luo Tie is brave, his strategy is not that good. You should keep an eye on things over there."
Toad Village was in full swing, and Yang Longting did not rest. Preparing food and fodder, and training soldiers were carried out every day. The attack on Fuhu Mountain was considered a major event at the moment, and it also had the purpose of training soldiers.
On this day, Luo Tie led two thousand troops and marched to Hu Mountain with a mighty force.
In Luo Tie's opinion, Fuhu Mountain was just a mob. Wherever his banner touched, he could kill the opponent without leaving any trace behind.
The result was a disastrous failure.
Taking advantage of the convenient location, Fuhu Mountain lured the enemy deep, divided the enemy's troops and horses, and defeated them one by one. Two thousand soldiers and horses abandoned their helmets and armor, and less than a thousand survived to escape back to Youzhou City.
Boss Xiong has been able to dominate Youzhou for so many years. Outsiders think he is a reckless man, but if he is really just a reckless man, can he live for so long?
Boss Bear has a brain.
Originally, Yang Longting wanted to show his face through this battle, but not only his face was exposed, but his butt was also exposed, and not much of his underwear was left.
Looking at Luo Tie standing in front of him, if it weren't for the fact that the other person was the son of an old friend, Yang Longting would have thought of killing him with a knife.
It's so muddy that it can't even get up against the wall. I wanted you to show your face in front of others and be entrusted with important responsibilities in the future, but you ended up letting my face hit the ground.
Yang Longting was so angry that he pushed Luo Tie to the end, and pushed him directly from the general to the horseman transporting grain. Whether you can get up in the future depends on you.
After all, there was still some feeling of old friend, and Yang Longting still gave Luo Tie a chance to stand up again.
After Luo Tie's defeat, Yang Longting personally commanded the troops and still ordered a thousand troops, including the remaining defeated generals led by Luo Tie.
Within one day, Yang Long stopped his troops and marched to Hu Mountain.
