In the afternoon, when Shen time was about to end, the sun began to set.
At this time, the southern army is still more than sixty miles away from the county seat of Guangyin County. This distance is neither too far nor too close.
In Wu Youdao's view, once anything happened, he could go south at any time and intervene in the battlefield immediately.
Therefore, the army led by Wu Youdao and Zou Yi hurried on their way.
Army, take it easy.
It seems very easy.
After all, after they entered the northern border of the Fire Kingdom from the southern kingdom, they did not encounter any resistance at all. They are now more than sixty miles away from Guangyin County, and they have already slowed down.
If the speed of the journey is faster, I am afraid that it will almost arrive in Guangyin County.
Obviously not in line with the original plan.
Therefore, the speed can only be reduced.
At this moment, the army has stopped and is resting in place.
Zou Yi and Wu Youdao sat together, and they looked very relaxed without any pressure.
Zou Yi and Wu Youdao were chatting about Chen Can, talking about Chen Can's many erroneous arrangements, and then talking about Du Qi, Zou Yi changed the subject and said: "Prime Minister, what is the relationship between us and Du Qi? Let's attack Chen Can together. Once Chen Can is eliminated, I am afraid that the cooperation between the two sides will turn into a denial. At that time, I am afraid that the two sides will have conflicts. How will we deal with it then?"
Wu Youdao said relaxedly: "The King and I have already considered this matter. Our temporary goal in the Southern Kingdom is not to be an enemy of Du Qi, because Du Qi is very powerful and difficult to deal with. If it is really the Southern Kingdom and the Xia Kingdom In the event of a war, the greatest possibility is that both sides will lose, and both will be damaged."
"At that time, it will affect the plan to send troops to the north and continue to expand and annex the surrounding area."
"So at the moment, we are joining forces with Du Qi, and the two sides try to maintain the relationship of allies. Even if we want to attack Du Qi, it will be after our strength has been further strengthened, and we have completely captured the surrounding areas in the north, making it impossible for us to expand. , let¡¯s gnaw on Du Qi¡¯s hard bones at this moment.¡±
"This is a judgment at the moment."
Wu Youdao said: "So once the two sides really want to have conflicts, you must remember that we will not cause trouble. Of course, if Du Qi really wants to go to war, we are not afraid. In short, we do not want to be enemies with Du Qi, but we also Not afraid to be an enemy of Du Qi, this is a basic attitude towards Du Qi at present."
After hearing this, Zou Yi said: "I understand."
Wu Youdao said: "Du Qi is also a smart person, presumably, he should be able to understand. Once Du Qi also goes to war with my southern country, Du Qi will also suffer a fatal blow and will greatly weaken the army. Such Du Qi is not willing to bear the loss. Du Qi is a more rational person, I believe he will not lose control, let alone make unscrupulous shots."
Zou Yi said: "I hope so."
In fact, he didn't have much reassurance about Du Qi, but was a little wary.
The reason is very simple, Du Qi is not easy to deal with.
"Report!"
At this moment, there was a shout, and a sentry came galloping on horseback.
Sentinel's expression was a little anxious.
When the horse stopped, the sentry turned over and dismounted, came to Zou Yi's side, and reported: "General Zou, urgent report from the front line. Guangyin County has already fallen, and Du Qi's army has already broken the city."
"What?"
Zou Yi stood up immediately.
His face was full of surprise.
A look of disbelief.
You must know that the speed at which Du Qi led the army arrived in Guangyin County not much earlier than them. Calculating the time, Du Qi's army took down the county not long after they arrived in Guangyin County.
This speed is too fast.
Zou Yi said in a deep voice, "What exactly is going on?"
The sentry report reported: "Du Qi's power is in Guangyin County, so as soon as Du Qi attacked, he cooperated with the inside and outside, breaking the county seat of Guangyin County."
Zou Yi immediately became irritable, he waved his hand, Sentinel turned around and left. Zou Yi's eyes were sharp, he looked at Wu Youdao urgently, and said, "Prime Minister, what should we do?"
Wu Youdao also frowned.
Previously, he had discussed with Zou Yi and made an agreement that whoever captures Guangyin County first, then Guangyin County will belong to whom.
Originally, it was to weaken Du Qi's strength.
It is necessary to use strength to fight.
Unexpectedly, Du Qi made preparations early, so that?? Then break the city. Wu Youdao and Zou Yi's scheme was actually shooting themselves in the foot, causing them to suffer and not get any benefit.
Wu Youdao slapped himself on the face and said, "It's really self-inflicted!"
The slap was resounding, and five fingerprints were raised at once.
Wu Youdao regretted terribly in his heart.
Seeing this, Zou Yi said with relief: "Prime Minister, we are blaming ourselves now, but it is useless. The point now is that Du Qi has taken Guangyin County. Then all the food, equipment and money in the county belong to Du Qi. We can't get anything. We also tried our best to come to the Fire Country, so we can't have nothing."
Wu Youdao asked: "General Zou, what do you mean?"
Zou Yi said: "My opinion is very simple. This time, let's go directly to Du Qi to give benefits. Our starting point is not to mention the previous agreement. After all, there is no written document. We will help attack Chen Can together this time. There is hard work without credit, so no matter what Du Qi does, he must share some benefits with us. Otherwise, this matter cannot be justified."
Wu Youdao narrowed his eyes and said, "General Zou, this is easy to cause conflicts."
Wu Youdao was very surprised by the current situation.
This is too surprising.
Unexpectedly, such a situation suddenly occurred, and they were caught in a dilemma. If you retreat now, you won't get any benefits, which is really a loss. If you continue to march and arrive at Guangyin County, because of the previous agreement, then you are also under the control of others, after all, it is your own regulations.
Zou Yi stroked the beard under his chin, his eyes were sharp, and he said: "What contradictions can there be? In my opinion, there will be no contradictions. You know, we have tens of thousands of troops. Could it be that Du Qihui, for a little food, I don't think it is possible to start a war with us directly. What's more, we are not greedy, so we just ask for a little benefit, which is within the limit of Du Qi's patience. Under such circumstances, it would definitely not be worthwhile for Du Qi to start a war. So in the end , and he endured it."
Wu Youdao thought for a while, but he still felt that Zou Yi's suggestion was inappropriate.
It is easy to go wrong.
Wu Youdao also has some understanding of Du Qi's temperament, and he is not someone who will be easily bullied.
Seeing that Wu Youdao didn't speak, Zou Yi said, "Prime Minister, if you don't go south to ask for benefits, the soldiers in our army will not feel at ease! We have not gained any benefits during this journey. Food, but this kind of food is completely useless to soldiers. At the moment, money is necessary."
There is a faint sense of persecution in these words.
Seeing that Wu Youdao could not make a decision, Zou Yi took the initiative to force him.
Let Wu Youdao have to make a decision.
Wu Youdao didn't think clearly in his heart, and when he was in a dilemma, Zou Yi's words helped Wu Youdao make a decision. He nodded and said: "Okay, then give it a try." (Remember the website address : www.hlnovel.com
