Xi Zhicai's information was not detailed, and it was obvious that the intelligence officers passed it on in an extremely hurry.
There is no further explanation as to why Qu Yi attacked Yuan Tan's mansion, or whether Yuan Tan was alive or dead at this time.
"My lord, the sudden civil strife in Julu City is a good opportunity given to me by God. As the old saying goes, if God cannot take it, you will be blamed for it. If you fail to do it at the right time, you will suffer the consequences."
Xi Zhicai's meaning is very simple. Since there is a conflict between Qu Yi and Yuan Tan, no matter who wins or loses, Julu City will no longer be stable.
There is such a good opportunity in front of us. If you don't know how to seize it, it would be a bit ignorant of practice.
Lin Feng nodded slightly.
"Since I have the opportunity to capture Julu, I naturally don't want to give up. It just so happens that the two battalions of Heishan and Baishui have already invaded Yecheng County at this time, and they cannot be recalled in a hurry. In Qinghe City, there are only four thousand personal guard battalions and one
Outside of the Thousand Traps camp, there are less than two thousand untrained recruits left, and we currently have no extra troops available."
Xi Zhicai responded with emotion: "What my lord said is a big mistake. As the saying goes: Soldiers are more valuable than more. Although I am not talented, I am willing to set out with five thousand elite soldiers tonight at 8 o'clock. There is a smooth road between Qinghe and Julu.
The night journey will not cause too many attrition. We will arrive at the foot of Julu City at 00:00 tomorrow morning at the latest. After the whole army rests for a while, we will launch an attack on Julu at chen. If the battle goes well, our army will be able to attack Julu City after noon.
Let’s take a break for lunch.”
Lin Feng nodded first, then shook his head desperately.
The timing of the quarrel between Qu Yi and Yuan Tan was too coincidental.
Tonight is the time to enter the game, which means that Lin Feng can only predict the actions until this evening.
The information about each county at night can only be obtained by entering the game.
If Xi Zhicai leads his troops out tonight, then when Lin Feng gets up tomorrow, even if he knows that Xi Zhicai may be in danger, he will not have time to notify him.
What's more, if Xi Zhicai is allowed to take away all the guards and traps, who will defend the large Qinghe County?
Just rely on the militiamen who are less than two thousand?
What if the fire at Julu City was not just a cruel trick used by Yuan Shao, but when Qinghe's troops were empty, how could he resist the Bohai army's pressure on the border?
Xi Zhicai replied with a very solemn expression: "Qu Yi's rebellious character could not stand Yuan Tan's push, which eventually led to the two turning against each other. This is in line with my analysis of the two, so Kuang believes that the fire in Julu City should not be caused by
To make money, we send troops to put on a show."
Having said this, Xi Zhicai suddenly chuckled and tilted his head slightly to look at Lin Feng: "My lord has always advocated taking risks, why are you a little timid now?"
Lin Feng suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He didn't like to take risks. It was just because of his foresight that he sometimes acted extremely safely, but was regarded as seeking victory in danger by people who didn't know the truth.
This time, due to the clever timing, Lin Feng almost completely lost the advantage of using the game prophet, which naturally made his decision seem a bit conservative.
"Zhicai, it's not that I don't agree with you to attack Julu City, it's just that
Then we captured Julu, and Yuan Shao's army came from the Bohai Sea to attack. Qinghe City really had no troops to defend."
Lin Feng had to enter the game at night, so he was destined to be unable to lead his troops to Julu. Otherwise, if he suddenly fell into a coma on the road and entered the game, it would be a huge blow to the morale and morale of the army. How could the five thousand army, which was in a leaderless state, have a chance?
Capture the giant deer.
Therefore, if we really want to attack Julu, we must have Xi Zhicai to lead the troops.
After Xi Zhicai left with his elite troops and strong generals, Qinghe City was really going to be out of troops and generals. Even if Lin Feng could predict the situation in advance, he would not be able to conjure up troops out of thin air.
Xi Zhicai shrugged proudly: "My lord must have forgotten someone. As long as he is there, Qinghe City will have as many soldiers as it needs. Although it can only gather a ragtag group of people, it will be enough to defend Qinghe City until reinforcements arrive."
"
"one person?"
"Yes, my lord, do you still remember Bao Juntian who swept across Qinghe?"
Lin Feng slapped his forehead hard. Damn it, he really forgot about this weird thing.
After leaving Bao Juntian to Tian Feng's disposal, due to the ensuing battle of the Eighteenth Route Princes against Dong Zhuo, Lin Feng ran around for half a year without stopping. After returning to the plains again, he began to attack Qingzhou again.
With all these things happening one after another, Lin Feng was so busy that he almost forgot about his wife. How could he possibly remember this tyrant Sky Knight?
"If Bao Juntian can't carry it on his shoulders or lift it with his hands, what can he accomplish?"
Xi Zhicai sighed softly: "My lord, don't underestimate those little people who are usually inconspicuous. You must know that even a withered grass can be worth ten thousand taels of gold if used in the right direction at a critical moment."
Lin Feng spread his hands, indicating that he didn't understand.
"Bao Juntian is naturally good at interacting with people, and can often gather tens of thousands of people in a short period of time. After Kuang takes away the guard camp and the enemy camp tonight, tomorrow the Lord can order Bao Juntian to go out of the city to gather the people, as long as they gather within a day or two
With tens of thousands of young men, even if they cannot be entrusted with the heavy responsibility of defense due to lack of training, they can always build up their momentum and make the Bohai Navy not dare to attack the city easily."
Since Xi Zhicai had arranged everything, Lin Feng no longer objected.
There is nothing wrong with going crazy like this. The most you can do is throw away Qinghe City and then lead an army to take it back.
Xi Zhi got Lin Feng's consent and was immediately overjoyed. He stood up and clasped his fists in salute. He turned around without saying a word and strode out of the house.
Lin Feng looked at Xi Zhicai's thin back and suddenly felt a little sad.
Xi Zhicai's health has never been very good, and he can be said to be weak and inexperienced.
Lin Feng has been repeatedly telling Xi Zhicai to take good care of his body and not to waste precious medicinal materials. Unfortunately, it is probably because his body is too weak and he has never been able to make up for it.
Why Xi Zhicai was so desperate to lead his army on the expedition was probably because he felt pressure.
Nowadays, there are many advisers around Lin Feng. Whether it is Xun Yu, Guo Jia, or Ju Shou Tian Feng, everyone's talent is above Zhicai, even his father-in-law.
In terms of political talent alone, Cai Yong left Xi Zhicai far behind.
However, since Xi Zhicai is the oldest, and as Lin Feng's first Conglong mastermind, he has gradually become unqualified for his position, and it seems that he can only rely on his seniority to maintain his high position.
That's why Xi Zhi made the decision to take the giant deer by force. It is estimated that he was holding on to the obsession of succeeding or succeeding, so how could he not make Lin Feng secretly sigh.
Well, let Xi Zhicai show his glory. In order to fulfill Xi Zhicai's wish, Lin Feng even sent Zhang Laosan out.
With Pei Yuanshao by his side, Zhang Laosan will definitely become the sharpest knife in Xi Zhicai's hand.
After nightfall, Lin Feng said goodbye to Xi Zhicai and others.
Xi Zhicai received the news just before setting off that Xu Rong had actually led two thousand elite troops to inspect the border between Qinghe and Julu.
This is good news. As long as Xu Rong is informed, the troops of Pingyuan Army can arrive at Julu City earlier to prepare for the siege.
After all, whoever is more prepared for a war has a greater chance of winning.
Regardless of the more than 18,000 soldiers under Qu Yi's command, Xi Zhicai's chances of winning were still quite high despite his calculations.
Back in Qinghe City, Lin Feng shook his head secretly.
Inadvertently, I returned to the embarrassing situation I was in when I started my business.
There are currently only three generals in Qinghe City, Lin Feng, Cai Yong, and Bao Juntian, and there are more than 1,800 soldiers guarding the city with a training level of 3 and a morale of 17.
Let alone Yuan Shao leading his army to attack, even if a defeated Yellow Turban army comes hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, Qinghe City will not be easy to defend.
After summoning Bao Juntian to the prefect's mansion, Lin Feng sat on the top chair with his legs crossed and his horse majestic.
After not seeing him for such a long time, Bao Juntian is still as thin as a scholar's robe carried on two bamboo poles. Standing where he is, the scholar's robe will sway left and right like a willow in the wind.
"Bao Juntian, the deacon of Qinghe City, has met my lord."
Lin Feng waved his hand: "No need to be polite, Juntian please take a seat."
"Thank you, Lord."
After sitting down, Lin Feng stared at Bao Juntian and asked: "If you are sent out of the city overnight, how long will it take for you to gather tens of thousands of troops like you did when you made a big fuss in Qinghe?"
Bao Juntian was stunned: "Master, please don't joke. Since I have sworn allegiance, I will not do any disrespectful act towards the master."
"It's not a joke, I really want you to gather an army again."
"It is not difficult to gather manpower. With my sharp tongue, it is not difficult to gather 50,000 troops in two days."
Speaking of this, Bao Juntian looked troubled: "It's just that this kind of army is empty in numbers but has no combat power. It only takes one strong general and two thousand elite troops to disperse the army like a duck."
Lin Feng laughed loudly: "It doesn't matter. If your body can hold on, you can go out of the city tonight and gather the army as quickly as possible. I will see at least 40,000 soldiers by the day after tomorrow."
