Chapter 678: Food Arrives


{Thank you to your friend Donghai Linghu Chong for the monthly pass, and my friend Crazy Dragon Storm and my friend Candy Dad's two monthly passes} "Huh" Qiao Yu chuckled lightly from the side: "General Liu is afraid that he will be frightened by the Ming army and will break a few fortresses, why is he afraid that if he attacks now, he will lose his troops and generals, and at most he can only prevent the Ming army from building forts, but if he is ready to build it, he will rob him of grain and grass halfway, which can be used for my military resources, and now Chang'an, cut off foreign aid, it is the time to need food, there is a Ming king to send grain, how can he not let him build it without laughing, there is no fortress, and the Ming king does not dare to transport grain."

"Hahahaha" The city head laughed everywhere, Liu Yue's face was embarrassed, and he was speechless, who called himself defeated again and again, and lost three times in a row, and became the laughing stock of Da Zhao "Hey" Liu Yue hugged and sighed.

On the south of Chang'an, Shi Hu also led the generals to observe the Ming army building bunkers, because of the close distance, more details can be seen clearly, such as four people holding the four corners of the fine net, and another person dumped mud and sand debris on the net, collected fine sand particles, mixed with a powder-like substance, piled up like a grave, and then poured water from the top, stirred into a paste, carried away with a bucket, and pasted the bricks and stones piled up.

No one understood what the Ming army was pasting on the wall, but Yuwen begged the turtle to immediately give his hand: "King, you must not let the Ming army pile up fortresses, my Xianbei three are willing to take the lead for the king and take the lead."

Murong Hao and Tuoba Yan had murderous intent in their eyes, when could he Yuwen Department represent Xianbei The original Duan Department was the strongest, and he never boasted that Haikou represented Xianbei, how could the weakest Yuwen Department have this qualification Obviously, Yuwen begged the turtle to look loyal, but in fact, he weakened himself through Shi Hu's hands.

Shi Hu glanced at Yuwen with a meaningful look, waved his hand and said: "Don't be busy, let him repair, wait until he repairs it and then rob him of food, this fortress leaks on all sides, how can you stop our army's iron cavalry from taking your three divisions as the vanguard at that time, I'm afraid that there will be no chance to fight."

"Thank you for the king's fulfillment, my humble boy is willing to die for the king" Yuwen begged to bow respectfully.

Murong Hao and Tuoba Yan were choking like eating a fly, and the hatred in their hearts was difficult to wash away even if the water of the three rivers poured out, but at this time, they could only salute at the same time: "The King of Zhongshan has an order, and he must obey it."

"Hahahaha" Shi Hu laughed wildly, and he suddenly felt that it was not a blessing to have a faceless and skinless person like Yuwen begging turtle under his command The ruins of Jianzhang Palace Looking at the full number of soldiers at the head of Chang'an City and the strict formation in Shi Hu's camp not far away, Xun Guan sighed and said: "Shi Hu and Liu Yao missed the best opportunity, if they come to attack at this time, our army's fortress may not be able to be built." ” Yang Yan smiled: "If you want to rob me of grain and rice, you have to weigh whether you have that tooth first, according to the plan, it can be repaired in half a month, and then you will transport grain from under Shi Hu's nose, swaggering, wouldn't it be happy" Xun Guan didn't understand Yang Yan's confidence, but she knew that this man had always been resourceful, and if she dared to ask, she would appear ignorant, so she forcibly swallowed the curiosity in her heart and didn't ask more.

The people and Liu Yao did not come to get together, and due to the increasing proficiency, the progress of building the bunker exceeded expectations, to the evening of the thirteenth day, the bunker repaired by the pass and the bunker in the direction of the Jianzhang Palace successfully closed the dragon, each bunker is five zhang in circumference, made of masonry and cement, three zhang high, the body of the fort is high and low, full of shooting windows, crossbow arrows can be fired all around, the bottom of the fort is reserved to stretch out the position of the scythe and the iron gun, dedicated to cutting off the ladder or stabbing through the punching car, hitting the wood and other siege equipment, and every five bunkers set up a steel cannon at the top, the firepower is strong, From a distance, a series of bunkers resemble a giant dragon lying across the Bashang Plateau.

After the year, the weather gradually warms up, and the fifteenth day of the first month is an important day for sacrifices.

Usually the conditional family, to make bean paste, oil ointment, to the ancestral door, specifically to the poplar branch into the door, with the poplar branch pointed, with the wine preserved diet and bean porridge plugged in chopsticks sacrifice, and then with white porridge anointed with ointment, sacrifice to the silkworm god.

The silkworm god is also called Zigu, according to legend, is a concubine who is jealous of his wife, often drives to the toilet, the pigsty does dirty work, and dies of anger on the fifteenth day of the first month, the descendants carry a dummy every fifteenth night of the first month, to the toilet or the pigsty, to meet Zigu, if the dummy carried is heavy, it means that Zigu is coming, quickly set up the wine fruit, and ask about the future of sericulture.

In addition, there are many activities such as playing clusters, stealing scenes, making cicadas for men, beating dung heaps, etc., it is no exaggeration to say that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was a more important festival than the New Year at that time.

Also in the early morning of this day, 100 carts set off from Yaoguan, under the escort of nearly 10,000 soldiers, and drove along the blockhouse road to Jianzhang Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Ming army is coming" Liu Yao stood on the wall of Changnnán, and Hu Yanyu pointed forward.

The Ming army under the city is like a string of ants, marching fast, giving people a feeling of panic.

Liu Yao laughed and said: "It's just a hundred carts, how much grain and grass can be loaded, and the Ming army has just started to transport, so we must be careful and vigilant, let him pass, and if there are too many of them, it will not be too late to rob them." ” Liu Yue arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the Ming army will take advantage of this point and use the strategy of ants to move, and transport it little by little, and unconsciously accumulate a lot, and I hope that Your Majesty and Shi Hu will jointly send troops to cut off the luck of King Ming." ” "Hmm" Liu Yao's face sank, showing disgust.

Yes, he is already extremely disgusted with Liu Yue, but this person is not interested, I don't kill you, you stay away, come over and make me uncomfortable "Hey" Liu Yue sighed heavily, looked at the people around him again, pointed and pointed, looking like he was in his chest, no one had the intention of proposing to send troops, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

He knew he didn't have the weight to speak.

Under the city, Shihu camp.

Compared with Liu Yao, Shi Hu could see more clearly, in the cracks in the wall of the car, there would occasionally be yellow and clear grain, and the huge weight of the wheels creaked, all showing that the car was indeed full of rice.

With a "boom", a car suddenly collapsed, and dozens of bags of rice fell to the ground, several of which broke on the spot, and the rice flowed all over the ground.

I saw soldiers carrying bags to other carts, and people collecting scattered paddy.

"The King" The surrounding generals looked at Shi Hu.

Shi Hu's face showed a look of struggle, and then he waved his hand: "Wait, there are too few hundred cars, and Yang Yanzhi is cunning, false and real, who knows whether it is true or false, maybe among these hundred or so cars, only a few are loaded with grain, and one of them is deliberately turned over, revealing rice, tempting me to attack, hum, how can Lone fulfill his wish."

"The Wise King" Yuwen begged the turtle and said: "Back then, Zu Yuzhou was convenient for Peng Pi to use this strategy, true and false grain transportation, in order to confuse General Taobao, but I didn't know that Zhao's enemy was in the west, not in the south, so he planned to withdraw the troops of Yuzhou, so that Zu Yuzhou got this false name."

Now the king of the Ming Dynasty is going around and around is nothing more than these two tricks, the last general thinks that the king should show him to be loose, when the Ming army transports grain with a small force, restrain the soldiers, don't watch it again, so a few times, then Yang Yanzhi will lose his vigilance, and take advantage of the night to transport a large amount of grain and grass, then it will be the king's opportunity."

"Hmm" Shi Hu stroked the stubble like a steel needle, very satisfied.

The remains of Zhangjian Palace In a short time, hundreds of carts came, and the carts were full of rice, which were all collected from Xiangyang and Jiangling, which were golden and radiating the fragrance of rice, which was very attractive.

Li Xiang is already a high-ranking official of Shangshu Zuo, a high-ranking official of the third grade, no matter what role this position can play, he has to go to Yang Yan every day to point out, and then he praised: "The king is false and real, Shi Hu really doesn't dare to attack, it's really a clever plan."

Yang Yan waved his hand and said: "The main thing is that there are too few, Liu Yao and Shi Hu can't fight hard for these hundred carts of grain, if they transport grain in large quantities in the future, the two of them will come to rob them." ” "That being the case, the old man has a plan."

Li Xiang said: "When the king officially transports grain, he can make a false and real plan, and load the car with hot oil to surprise him."

The status of people changes, and the ideas will also change, in the past, Li Xiang was white, the Li family was like a prisoner, there was no thought, just wanted to live in peace, and now the official Zhishang Shu left the servant, his mind couldn't help but live, he hoped to offer advice, won Yang Yan's praise and favor, awarded the Ming order, and truly entered the Shangshutai and participated in national politics.

Yang Yan groaned slightly, and then said: "This plan is feasible, Gu immediately repaired the book to Han Huang to manage the business, so that he can act cheaply." ” Li Xiang showed joy.

In fact, he is purely multi-minded, since Yang Yan let him shoot for Shangshu's left servant, he will not let him just take Fenglu and not work, after all, Yang Yan is a modern person, he once reprimanded Ruan Fu in public for occupying the pit and not, how could he commit it 。
