"Has there ever been such an agreement? Why haven't I heard of it?" Zhou Yu glanced back at Zhou Tai and said with a smile. @ Zhou Tai said: "It seems not!" "It just seems like?" Zhou Yu asked again. "It's true, I will guarantee it with my life." Zhou Tai said firmly. Lin Qi had no choice but to see Zhou Yu cheating, because it was only a verbal agreement and no written agreement was made. Until now, Lin Qi finally knew what Wu Guo's intention was. The continuous harassment for a month turned out to be that he wanted to return to the lost Xiazhi County. "Hahaha, Grand Governor, it turns out that this is your intention. Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, why bother and waste so much time? With just one word from me, Xiaji County can be returned to the State of Wu. Lin Qi said with a smile. Zhou Yu asked doubtfully, "Are you serious when you say this?" Lin Qi nodded and said, "A gentleman's words are hard to follow." "There is no basis for what you say!" Zhou Yu said happily. "I am willing to write a document as evidence!" Lin Qi immediately reached out for paper and pen, wrote down a piece of paper eloquently, and then handed it to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu read it with his own eyes and saw that there was nothing wrong with the document, so he warmly received Lin Qi. In the evening, after the banquet dispersed, Zhou Yu ordered people to personally send Lin Qi back to the other side, and that was the end of the matter. After that, Zhou Yu galloped on horseback and headed straight to Xiazhi County with his personal entourage. He used a piece of paper from Lin Qi to force Zhang Liao to hand over Xiazhi County. Late at night, the lights on Xiajie City were brightly lit. Huya General Zhang Liao led his army to garrison here. Several military reports were received one after another, all of which were news that the Wu army was advancing on Xiajie step by step. For a time, the city was filled with gloomy clouds, and the tension that had been dormant for a month sprouted up again. Zhang Liao stands on the tower. Looking at the Wu soldiers displayed below the city, I saw Zhou Yu riding a white horse, wearing silver armor and a silver helmet, riding slowly from the crowd. City, what's the point? Do you want to destroy the diplomatic relations between our two countries?" Zhou Yu chuckled. Said: "General Zhang, I am here to take back Xiaphean, but it is you, General Zhang, who occupies our country's Xiaphean City and refuses to return it, is the real destruction of diplomatic relations!" Zhang Liao said: "Captain Zhou is joking too much, right? , Now Pheasant County is my land of China, how come it has become the place of your Wu State?" Zhou Yu immediately took out a piece of paper from his arms, showed it there, and said loudly: "This is the prefect of Jiangxia, The letter written by your eldest prince, Marquis Yan, is clearly written word for word, and General Zhang can understand it at a glance!" After speaking, Zhou Yu handed the letter to Zhou Tai, who was beside him. He tied it to an arrow and shot it towards the gatepost of the city tower in Xiaji County. The arrow was nailed to the gatepost. Zhang Liao¡¯s men hurriedly took off the arrow, then took off the letter on the arrow and gave it to Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao opened the letter and read it. But when I saw that it was written that the city of Xiaji County should be given to the State of Wu, I felt angry at the moment. He was so angry that he hurriedly rolled up the letter into a ball and said angrily: "The eldest prince An dares to do such a rebellious thing. It's really annoying!" In an instant, Zhang Liao threw the paper ball away. After going out, he immediately looked at Zhou Yu with a proud look on his face. Suddenly, I felt something was wrong, so I immediately asked someone around me to find the letter. After reopening it and reading it, I saw that the letter was clearly written in black and white, but there was no title at the beginning and no signature. Not to mention the seal and ribbon stamped by Lin Qi, he immediately burst into laughter. Zhang Liao suddenly laughed, which made Zhou Yu feel a little suspicious, and asked hurriedly: "General Zhang, why are you laughing? Don't you even recognize your eldest prince's autograph letter?" "Grand Governor, I'm sorry, this handwriting does look very similar. Our eldest prince, unfortunately, does not have the title, signature and seal of the eldest prince. This is obviously a fake letter made by your Wu Kingdom. Just based on this, do you want me to withdraw from the army?" Zhang Liao laughed and said, "Besides, Our country of Huaxia has always had a separation of military and government. Even if this letter is true, the eldest prince is just a second-grade prefect, and his jurisdiction is only some civil affairs in Jiangxia. He has no right to mobilize the army, let alone interfere in military affairs. His official position is below mine, so how can he order me? This letter is obviously fake. Governor Zhou, I think we can turn a blind eye to this matter on the basis that our two countries are allies. Eyes, I just hope that the Governor will not do such things that harm the diplomatic relations between the two countries in the future." After hearing this, Zhou Yu suddenly felt like he had been deceived. He rode on his horse, pointed at Zhang Liao and shouted: "Zhang Wenyuan. "You really don't want to evacuate this city?" "Without the emperor's decree, Zhang Liao can't obey it!" Zhang Liao also said with a straight face.cried out. Zhou Yu immediately said angrily: "The three armies obey the order and attack the city!" When Zhou Tai heard that Zhou Yu issued this order, he hurriedly asked: "Grand Governor, are you really going to attack the city?" "Attack the city!" Zhou Yu stared at the two men. With only one eye, he said angrily. Zhou Tai obeyed the order, and immediately pulled out the weapon he was wearing, swung the sword forward, and shouted loudly: "Attack the city!" As soon as the voice was shouted, a fast horse quickly arrived at Zhou Yu In front of him, he hurriedly reined in his horse and shouted in a panic: "Grand Governor, what's wrong, Hu Lie General Huang Zhong of the Huaxia Kingdom led an army of 200,000, marched both by land and water, and has arrived at Xunyang City. He also said that the army was If the governor does not withdraw from the pheasant siege, he will replace the city one by one" "What? Where did old man Huang Zhong come from, and where did the army of 200,000 come from?" Zhou Yu was surprised. said. "Grand Governor, what should we do now?" Zhou Taiye asked hurriedly. Zhou Yu looked at Zhang Liao on Xiaji City, his teeth itching with hatred. Suddenly he saw a familiar face appearing behind Zhang Liao. That face Zhou Yu could never forget for the rest of his life. It was Lin Lin who he sent away this evening. Qi. Suddenly, Zhou Yu felt angry filling his chest, and his whole body was shaking with anger. He pointed at Lin Qi on the wall of Xiaji City and said bitterly: "YouI actually fell into your trick" "Pfft!" Zhou Yu suddenly felt hot blood surging in his chest. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. He was so angry that he fainted. He fell off the horse and fell heavily to the ground. "The Governor" Zhou Tai shouted hurriedly when he saw this. He reached out to pull Zhou Yu, but it was too late, so he had to jump off the horse and help Zhou Yu up from the ground. The generals gathered together, and the soldiers were running forward after hearing the order, and waited until they arrived at the foot of Xiaji City. Zhang Liao's men then released arrows one after another, killing and wounding many Wu troops. Zhou Tai saw that Zhou Yu was unconscious and could not command so many troops. He was afraid that the two countries would really start a war, so he immediately ordered: "Ming Jin retreats!" As the retreat order was given, Wu Jun quickly retreated. , and headed towards Xunyang City. Seeing that Zhou Yu had retreated, Zhang Liao breathed a sigh of relief and went down to the pheasant city. There are only 5,000 soldiers. If the Wu army really attacks the city, Zhang Liao will have no chance of winning. He wiped his sweat, and when he turned around, he saw Lin Qi standing behind him. He was immediately startled and asked hurriedly: "The eldest prince?" Lin Qi smiled and said: "General Zhang, I want to congratulate General Zhang. With just one word, Zhou Yu was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted." After thinking about it, Zhang Liaosi understood some of the truth. Asked: "First Prince, was this always in the First Prince's plan? Did the First Prince deliberately make Zhou Yu angry?" Lin Qi smiled and did not answer. He just said lightly: "General Yan Yan will return soon and please treat General Zhang well. Without General Yan, Zhou Yu will not retreat easily. The matter is over, but the Wu army will definitely not let it go. The general still needs to stay in Xiaji City Just add more troops." As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qi turned and walked away, saying as he walked: "I have been away from Jiangxia for a long time, and it is time to go back. Take care, general, we will fight together one day. " Zhang Liao looked at Lin Qi's retreating back and said secretly in his heart: "In terms of force, the eldest prince is no match for the second prince, but in terms of strategy, the second prince is much inferior to the eldest prince. Qidang and Lindang have been in the government and opposition for a long time. Secretly taking root, if the emperor cannot handle the candidate for the position of prince well, I am afraid that the situation between the two parties will soon come" ¡¡¡¡¡ Zhou Tai took Zhou Yu who fainted and tens of thousands of troops, Soon he returned to Xunyang City. But when Zhou Tai arrived at the city, there was not even a single Huaxia soldier. He couldn't help but sigh: "How could the Huaxia army advance and retreat so quickly?" After entering the city, Zhou Tai asked Xunyang after he settled Zhou Yu. It turns out that the Xunyang Order intercepted a confidential military message from the Chinese Army, saying that General Huang Zhongzheng secretly led an army of 200,000 to Xunyang City. The county magistrate of Xunyang was extremely worried and believed it to be true. He immediately sent someone to deliver the news to Zhou Yu. After Zhou Tai heard Xunyang Ling's explanation, he was extremely angry and beheaded Xunyang Ling for the crime of cholera. Afterwards, he visited famous doctors in the city to treat Zhou Yu. "Doctor, how is the governor's condition?" Zhou Tai asked hurriedly when he saw that the doctor he had called had already taken Zhou Yu's pulse. The doctor said: "The Governor was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted. I will prescribe a medicine and you can give it to him. He will be cured in less than half a month. However, the Governor cannot do it anymore."If it is stimulated, otherwise, the disease will get worse and the disease will be severe and difficult to treat. " After Zhou Tai heard this, he was very worried about Zhou Yu. He immediately sent someone to go back with the doctor to get medicine, and then fetched medicine for Zhou Yu to drink. "Lin Qi, kid, you bullied me too much cough cough cough" Zhou Yu opened the door Eyes, it was early the next morning, and he sat up from the bed and shouted loudly. Zhou Tai had been accompanying Zhou Yu all night. After hearing Zhou Yu's cry, he immediately woke up and saw Zhou Yu waking up. Then he said happily: "Grand Governor, it's great that you woke up. " With that said, Zhou Tai handed the bowl of boiled herbs to Zhou Yu and said, "Captain, please use it with caution. " "What's this? "Zhou Yu smelled a strong smell of medicine and asked immediately. "This is medicine. It is the medicine prescribed by the doctor to the governor. He told the governor to drink the medicine on time. Only in this way can the governor's condition get better. "Zhou Tai said. "You are the only one who is sick. I am not sick at all. If you want to drink, I won't drink. By the way, did Huang Zhong's troops retreat last night? "Zhou Yu suddenly remembered this matter and asked hurriedly. Zhou Tai slightly hesitated. After much deliberation, he concealed the matter and said lightly: "Grand Governor, Huang Zhong retreated as soon as he heard that we were withdrawing our troops. . Lord Commander, please take care of it with peace of mind and do not receive any stimulation within half a month, otherwise" "Youping, you and I have known each other for many years, please tell me honestly. Did Huang Zhong show up last night? "Zhou Yu is not a fool. He can naturally see the clues and interrupts Zhou Tai. Zhou Tai hurriedly knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said, "I forgive you, the general. I didn't mean to hide it, it's just" "Haha Haha, it doesn't matter, just get up, it has already happened. I won't pursue it either. If I do, the responsibility lies with me because I trusted Lin Qi too easily. This boy is as treacherous as his father, and he is the eldest son of the emperor. Once he is established as prince, he will later become emperor. Then our country Wu will definitely not be in any good position. Youping, how many sons does Lin Nan have? "A trace of hope flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes. He suddenly came up with a clever plan. "As far as the general knows, Lin Nan has five sons and three daughters. Commander, why do you ask this? Zhou Tai asked in confusion. A sinister smile appeared on Zhou Yu's face and he said, "Send someone to Huaxia to inquire about Lin Nan's five sons. Remember." This matter must be carried out secretly. I want to know detailed information about Lin Nan's five sons. Zhou Tai clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Commander-in-Chief, I'll just give you the order." I also asked the Governor to drink this bowl of medicine, which would help the Governor's recovery. " "I'm not sick at all, what medicine should I take? " "But yesterday the Governor vomited blood and fell from his horse" "Haha, even you were deceived, let alone Lin Qi and Zhang Liao. They would definitely think that I, Zhou Yu, was a narrow-minded person. If I hadn't been like that yesterday , haven¡¯t I become the laughing stock of many soldiers? I just found a step for myself to get off. " "Grand Governor, are you really okay? "Zhou Tai looked at Zhou Yu again, and seeing that Zhou Yu's face was slightly pale, he asked suspiciously. "Go, I'm indeed fine. " "Then Youping resigns! "Zhou Tai seemed to have realized something. He hugged his fists and slowly exited the room, closing the door. After Zhou Tai retreated, Zhou Yu hurriedly coughed a few times, covering his chest and looking very ugly. He hurriedly picked up the bowl of medicine and drank it. After drinking it, he said with a wry smile: "Zhou Gongjin, Zhou Gongjin, you have been smart all your life, but you didn't expect to be deceived by a child with a yellow mouth." It¡¯s so unbearable" Mobei. Lin Lin, Taishi Ci, Sima Yi and other 70,000 troops have been stationed on this unknown hill for almost two days. In the past two days, the army has almost rested. The wounded soldiers were well treated, and the Xianbei people never bothered them again. However, the situation was not optimistic. There was not much food and grass left in Sima Yi's escort, and they could only sustain one meal at most. In addition, there were still many people here. There is a serious shortage of water. In this environment, we would rather have nothing to eat than nothing to drink. People and animals need water to maintain their lives. Without water, death is not far away. Lin Lin paced anxiously, sending out some scouts almost every once in a while, but none of the scouts sent out came back. After counting, almost 300 scouts had been sent out to the desert and Gobi. , Gushan, the Chinese army encountered such a severe problem for the first time. When they conquered the Western Qiang in the past, they could at least plunder the grains grown by the Qiang people, but here, onlyThere is a barren land with very little food and water. In addition, the local operations far away from the Huaxia Kingdom are as long as 800 miles deep into the territory of Xianbei. Even if food is transported from the country, it is impossible to reach it. "When is it?" Lin Lin would ask his soldiers every once in a while if he was an ant on the hot pot. "Prince Qi, it's almost noon." "It's been two days, two whole days, why haven't any of the scouts sent out come back? What on earth does the Intelligence Department do? How did the Duke of Zhen select these scouts? It's really A bunch of trash!" Lin Lin was furious and slapped the desk in front of him. Due to the excessive force, the small desk was cut into two pieces, and all the things on the desk fell down. , making a mess. The Intelligence Department of Huaxia State has always been famous for its accurate intelligence. It is Lin Nan's most loyal direct force and is responsible for collecting intelligence. However, since the death of Bian Xi, the first Shangshu of the Ministry of Intelligence, Jia Xu resigned from the post of Taiwei of the Privy Council and was demoted to Shangshu of the Ministry of Intelligence. The Ministry of Intelligence has gone through a series of reforms in the hands of Jia Xu, and has become more perfect, faster, and faster. Confidential. In addition, You Zongyu assisted from the side. Jia Xu is also more comfortable in doing it. In fact, this has never happened to the Intelligence Department since Jia Xu took over. For this western expedition, Jia Xu specially selected the most elite scout troops for Lin Lin, it can be said. This expedition to the Western Regions was able to achieve a good victory, and half of the credit lies with these scout troops. But today, 300 scouts were sent out but no one returned. So there is only one possibility, that is, all 300 scouts have died. Otherwise, according to the usual practice of the Intelligence Department, there will inevitably be a disaster in a short time. Send back the message. Lin Lin¡¯s soldiers didn¡¯t dare to say a word when they saw Lin Lin was so angry. He stood there, waiting quietly. "Go and call the left minister of the Intelligence Department, Zong Xue!" Lin Lin thought about it and felt that the situation was not good. In such a dangerous zone, if he lost the intelligence, he would be deaf or blind, and he would not even be able to figure out Xianbei. The person¡¯s next move. Not long after, Zong Yu, the left minister of the Intelligence Department, stepped into the tent. After seeing Lin Lin, he knelt down and said, "Weak minister Zong Yu. I bow to the general king." "Without courtesy! Mr. Zong, I have sent out 300 scouts, and within two days, not one of them has returned. , this situation is very rare. You are a scout, and you are also the most powerful among the scouts in the army. I will not let you get into danger unless it is absolutely necessary. Now is the critical moment, and I want to ask you to go out. Are you willing to take a walk?" Lin Lin asked. Zong Yuan didn't even think about it, and immediately clasped his fists and said: "Wei Chen will not hesitate to die. He will do his best to handle this matter for the prince, and will also thoroughly investigate the ins and outs of this matter, and find out why Wei Chen's subordinates went there but did not return." "The truth." Lin Lin said: "Very good. You can travel thousands of miles a day on my king's bloody horse. Our army can only provide you with one meal. You must come back to me before dark." Zong Yu said: "Promise!" Lin Lin asked his soldiers to bring him his mount. It was a bloody horse from Dawan. It traveled thousands of miles in a day and eight hundred at night. It had great endurance, its whole body was red, its four hooves were strong, and its figure was He is tall and runs like a swimming dragon, so Lin Lin gave him the name "Red Dragon". Zong Yu rode on the red dragon, spurred his horse forward, and drove directly away from the camp. It was noon and the sun was shining brightly. As soon as Zong Yu left the mountain on his red dragon, he quickly rode up to the Gobi. The entire Gobi Desert has been exposed to the scorching sun all morning. The ground temperature is extremely high, the steam is steaming, and a heat wave hits our faces. Not long after, Zong Yu was already sweating profusely, and Chilong was sweating profusely when he sat down. The sweat was bright and unusual, like blood. The sweaty horse was indeed worthy of its reputation. Zong Yu rode the red dragon towards Shenglong City. After walking for about twenty miles, he already felt his mouth was dry and his throat was smoking. When he sat down, the red dragon also stuck out his tongue to dissipate heat. Zong Yu slowed down and looked around, but saw that he was surrounded by an expanse of vast Gobi desert. There was not even a place to get water, so he could only continue to move forward patiently. After walking for more than ten miles, Zong Xu saw a small hill in front of him. The hill was in an arc shape, surrounded by several cacti and several lush trees. He had been in the wild for a long time and had strong survival skills. According to his own With all my knowledge of survival skills in the wild, I knew there must be a water source nearby. Otherwise, how could the trees be so lush? So Zong Yu galloped away quickly, whipping his horse, and when he was about to arrive, he saw a small ditch. He was so excited that he hurried to the spot, got off his horse, and quickly ran to the water. Just as he was about to drink the water with his hands, he suddenly heard the sound of an arrow flying through the air from behind. In desperation, he hurriedly dodged. In the past, a black feather arrow quickly shot into the water. ArrowAs soon as Zong Xu entered the water, he saw that the arrow was corroded by the water inside, and immediately turned into nothing. He felt frightened in his heart, and cold sweat rolled down his back. Zong Yu turned around and saw a man lying on the Gobi desert behind him, his body buried in loess. He was holding a repeating crossbow and his eyes were dull. He was already dying. The clothes exposed on his body were those of the Chinese army, and He also recognized that face. It was his fellow countryman Li Daniu, and he ran over quickly. Li Daniu was fifty meters away from Zong Yu. When he saw Zong Yu running over, he smiled hoarsely and shouted hoarsely with all his strength: "The wait is finally over" Zong Yu ran to Li Daniu's side. He supported the man and asked: "What happened? Where are the others?" Li Daniu said as he was dying: "Sir everyone else is dead. The Xianbei people the Xianbei people are in a radius of seventy miles. Poison has been put into all the water sources inside. The poison is so powerful that humans and animals will die if they touch it in less than an hour I'm lucky that I didn't hit the water source, but I'm already dying. It's just my job. Before it was completed, I was plotted by the Xianbei people when I returned, and I managed to escape the disaster My subordinates My subordinates have discovered the underground river here, and we only need to dig three feet above the underground river to get the water source ¡¡± ¡°Daniu, hold on, I¡¯ll take you right away¡¡± Zong Yu hurriedly hugged his subordinate. Before he could finish his words, the scout had already died. In grief and anger, he shouted loudly The ground cried out, "Big Bull!" In the evening. As the sunset filled the sky, Lin Lin stood in front of the tent, looking up at the lonely sky, quietly waiting for Zong Yu's return. After about an hour, twilight was closing, and the world was already hazy. Lin Lin still didn't see Zong Yu returning, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. While he was pacing back and forth anxiously. Suddenly, someone announced his return, and Lin Lin went out to greet him in person. Seeing that Zong Yu was so tired, he welcomed him into the big tent and said, "Thank you, Minister Zong, for your hard work." Zong Yu said, "Your Majesty, I am fortunate to have fulfilled my duty and found out the direction of the underground river. As long as you dig the ground three feet, spring water will come up. In addition, the three hundred scouts have all suffered accidents. The Xianbei people are poisoning them everywhere to force us to death." Lin Lin heard this. With a somewhat moved expression on his face, he said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zong, your subordinates will not die in vain. Once the reinforcements arrive, I will definitely make those Xianbei people pay for their debt with blood!" After finishing his words, Lin Lin asked someone to send Zong Yu off. After resting, Zong Yu took out the map of the underground river and presented it to Lin Lin. Lin Lin asked his men to dig three feet into the ground with this picture. In this way, he would no longer worry about the lack of water in the Gobi. In the Zuojun camp, Taishi Ci was still recuperating peacefully. When he saw Taishi Xiang bringing a bowl of cool water, he asked: "Where did the water come from?" "Father, the great general Wang has found the water source. I The army no longer has to worry about having no water to drink, but now that there is no food, I am afraid that we will be hungry for a while. When reinforcements arrive, our army can fight back," Taishi Xiang said to Taishi Ci while holding the bowl of water. . Tai Shici immediately drank the bowl of water to relieve his hot mood. "General, the prince sent someone to summon the general, saying that we have something important to discuss." Hou Cheng walked in from outside and said with cupped fists. Taishi Ci nodded and said calmly: "Xian'er, help me up. The prince summoned him, and he must have wanted to discuss how to deal with the Xianbei people. It seems that the prince can't wait for the reinforcements to arrive" Taishi Xiang helped Taishi Ci, Walking all the way to the Chinese army camp, seeing Lin Lin gathering many generals in the Chinese army tent, he knew that something big was going to happen. When Taishi Ci walked to the tent, Lin Lin personally came out to greet him, helped Taishi Ci to sit down, and looked very respectful to Taishi Ci. After that, Lin Lin returned to his seat and said loudly: "Now, the pre-war military meeting is official" "Wait a minute" Taishi Ci looked at the generals, but he did not see military advisor Sima Yi, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart. Confused, he asked, "Your Majesty, please excuse me, why don't you see Sima Zhongda?" Lin Lin looked slightly unhappy when he heard Sima Yi's name, but Tai Shici was a veteran general in the army and a member of the Chinese army. He is a mainstay of the army, how can he not give him face? He thought for a while and then said: "Sima Zhongda is ill and cannot come in person. After the meeting, just send someone to convey the content of the meeting." "Sima Zhongda has met with the prince and all the generals!" Sima Yi Suddenly appeared outside the Chinese army tent, dressed in dark robes, looking extremely elegant. Lin Lin's face was a little disgraceful. Sima Yi's sudden appearance surprised him because he didn't send anyone to notify Sima Yi at all. The reason is very simple. He always thought that Sima Yi was Lin Qi¡¯s teacher. The last time he asked Sima Yi??Sima Yi said it but didn't say it, which made him very unhappy. If a person hates another person, he will find it annoying no matter what the other person does. It was precisely because Lin Lin hated Sima Yi so much that he thought Sima Yi was deliberately not helping him, so he had to write to Guo Jia, urging Zhang Fei and others to get here quickly. "Isn't Zhongda ill? Why did he come in person?" Taishi Ci didn't know the reason and thought Lin Lin was telling the truth, so he asked. Sima Yi smiled and said: "Zhongda was ill yesterday. He had a good night's sleep and is much better now. Your Majesty, since my illness has been cured, can I attend the military meeting?" "You are the patrol inspector? Lieutenant, military advisor, it is important to attend the military affairs. Come on, show me your seat to Lord Sima!" Lin Lin was unhappy. But he still showed an indifferent look on his face and said loudly. His subordinates immediately took out a Hu stool and placed it directly on Lin Lin's right hand. Then Sima Yi swaggered into the tent in front of everyone, then sat down on the new seat with a look on his face. He clasped his fists and said to Lin Lin kindly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me the seat." Lin Lin rolled his eyes at Sima Yi and without paying any attention, he said loudly: "Now that everyone is here, the meeting will begin. Now I Although the army has solved the water problem, food is still quite scarce. Everyone is hungry now. It must be uncomfortable. All the Xianbei people are huddled in Shenglong City, with no outsiders and no herdsmen. Not to mention the herds of cattle and sheep. There are only two ways before us. One is to attack Shenglong City while everyone is still strong; the other is to quickly evacuate this place to wait for reinforcements. If you have any opinions, feel free to speak out." Tai Shici first said: "It is not suitable for our troops to fight in dangerous places for a long time. It is better to retreat temporarily and then make other plans." Lin Lin nodded, but did not speak sharply. But his eyes have been fixed on Sima Yi, this young man who has always been valued by his father. What kind of thoughts would you have? Sima Yi met Lin Lin's gaze, smiled faintly, and said slowly: "Wei Chen believes that at this moment, our army has reached a dilemma. Shenglong City was built by the Xianbei people with ten years of hard work. The city is extremely strong, and there are still 250,000 Xianbei troops in the city. We only have 70,000. Even if we attack by force, we will destroy ourselves with eggs hitting rocks. " "Sima Yi, please pay attention to the way you speak, don't attack others. Destroy your ambition and prestige!" Lin Lin said angrily. Sima Yi said: "Your Majesty, everything the minister said is the truth, and the minister will only tell the truth. In fact, the easiest way to conquer Shenglong City is to besiege the city. However, if you want to besiege the city, you must have the same amount of troops. Even three times more troops can be effective. From this point of view, even if reinforcements arrive, it will be difficult to siege the city, but it will be even more difficult to retreat, not to mention the prince's guarantee in front of the emperor. Even the general is like this, saying that he will definitely make Xianbei surrender to the Huaxia Kingdom. If he retreats, I am afraid that the faces of the prince and the general will be disgraced. What's more, most of our horses are dead. If we retreat, I'm afraid. If the Xianbei people pursue them, those soldiers without horses will inevitably become the dead souls of the Xianbei people. Therefore, it is unwise to attack Shenglong City, and retreating will be disadvantageous. It is a dilemma" Lin Lin couldn't help but frown after hearing this. He raised his eyebrows. In this Western Expedition, an army of 300,000 people was used, divided into three groups. Lin Lin even guaranteed it in front of Lin Nan. As the commander-in-chief of this Western Expedition, he could not be defeated, nor could he be defeated. After hearing what Sima Yi said, Taishi Ci and others agreed quite a lot, but at the same time, everyone was deeply involved in thinking and was in a dilemma. So would this 70,000-strong army starve to death in the same place? Finally, Taishi Ci couldn't help it anymore and asked: "Zhongda, since you said we are in a dilemma, can our army just stay put? If the reinforcements don't arrive for a day, will we have to stay here for a day? What if? If the reinforcements encountered something on the way and delayed their journey, wouldn't our army be starved to death? Since you can analyze it so thoroughly, there must be a way for me to end up like this because I didn't listen to your advice that day. Such a situation resulted in the tragic death of more than 30,000 soldiers under the iron hoof of the Xianbei people. If you have any good ideas, just tell me, I think the prince will listen to your suggestions without any scruples." Sima Yi grinned. He glanced at Lin Lin and asked: "Your Majesty, if Zhongda really has a way to solve this embarrassing situation, will your Majesty use Zhongda's suggestion?" Lin Lin said: "You are from China, if you have a good strategy, Of course I will use it." Sima Yi smiled and said, "With these words from the prince, Zhongda feels like he has received a reassurance.""Don't be shy, tell me your strategy quickly!" Lin Lin said urgently. Even after Sima Yi told him his plan, everyone present felt that it was a clever plan and agreed. After hearing this, Lin Lin asked with a straight face: "Although this plan is clever, it is a dangerous move. If it is not made correctly, the army will be in a desperate situation. Sima Zhongda, if something goes wrong " "If this plan fails, Sima Zhongda is willing to bear the responsibility and die to thank the world!" Sima Yi knew what Lin Lin meant and said with clasped fists. Lin Lin heard what Sima Yi said, so there was no reason not to use it. Although he didn't like Sima Yi, he wouldn't let Sima Yi die in vain. He immediately said: "Since you said so, I have nothing to worry about. However, if this plan fails, even if you die ten thousand times It¡¯s not enough to forgive me.¡± So, Lin Lin issued the order and quickly set up camp tonight, and the army advanced towards Shenglong City. In the Shenglong City, the lights were brightly lit, and the great Dan Yu Ke Wu Neng was enjoying the graceful singing and dancing. Sitting around him were all the kings and nobles of Xianbei. Everyone held a beautiful woman in their arms and were playing with each other to their heart's content. . "Report to the Great Chanyu, there is news about the Chinese Army" After Ke Wu could hear it, he immediately drove away the women around him, with a trace of seriousness on his face, and said loudly: "Everyone, step back!" So, Song Ji, the dancers, and the music players all retreated. The originally peaceful atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the nobles also immediately became nervous. Ke Wuneng said: "Speak!" "In response to the Great Chanyu, the Chinese army suddenly split into two groups. One group was led by General Wang Linlin, with a total of 10,000 cavalry, and headed northwest. I don't know what the intention was. In addition, There was still Tiger Wing General Tai Shici leading the way, and he was slowly retreating. After hearing this, Ke Wu couldn't help but asked to himself: "Is the Chinese Army about to retreat?" Before he could think about it, Ke Wu couldn't help but ask. Neng immediately stood up and shouted sternly: "Captain Zuo!" "Here!" A burly man immediately stood up, saluted Ke Wuneng and asked, "What are the orders from the Great Chanyu?" "Immediately lead 30,000 cavalry to the front and quickly pursue Taishi Ci's troops. Taishi Ci must not be allowed to walk out of the Gobi. The 60,000 Chinese soldiers will starve to death and die of thirst in this huge Gobi. Yu will arrive soon with his army, and when the time comes, he will encircle them and annihilate them in one fell swoop," Ke Wuneng said loudly with a cold light in his eyes. After hearing this, Captain Zuo immediately left the tent. A man stood up on the right side of Ke Wuneng and volunteered: "Da Shanyu, I am willing to lead 20,000 cavalry to pursue Lin Lin's troops" Ke Wuneng did not wait for the man to finish speaking, then waved his hand and said: "No need, Captain Right will go with me on the expedition. The Chinese army has no food and water. Where can the 10,000 people go? First, try your best to eliminate the 60,000 troops under Tai Shici's command. The remaining 10,000 people will There is no need to be afraid. Even if he is a great general, he will definitely be defeated by me in this Gobi, plateau, and desert. Send an order to gather all the troops and attack Tai Shici's troops. It will be over in the evening. Fight. " "No! " Lin Lin rode a red dragon and galloped quickly on the vast Gobi. The cavalry behind him were all elites, rushing northwest from the unknown mountain. They galloped for about fifty miles before they stopped for a short rest. He turned over and dismounted, called the guards around him, and asked: "How far is it?" "Please tell me, Prince, it's about fifty miles." "Bring the map of the underground river's direction, dig water on the spot, and let the soldiers clear it first. Get rid of the heat and then set off again," Lin Lin said.
