Chapter 747: Something Must Be Done
next day
North of Zhou State
In the pass
above the high wall
Su Zhong, the defender of Zhou State's northern border, looked at the national teacher at the side and said, "National teacher, look! Although the siege on the grassland today still looks fierce, the momentum is not as good as before."
Zhou Guoguo nodded and said, "When I came all the way, Chu State had already declared war on the grassland. It seems that Chu State wanted to take advantage of the fact that all the troops in the grassland were concentrated on our Zhou State's side before launching an attack. In this way, The army of Chu State can use firearms to quickly attack the hinterland of the grassland and bring large areas of land into its territory."
Su Chong said: "Now the grassland's offensive is no longer as fierce as usual. Could it be because Chu State has already achieved success, and Wanyan Khan led his troops back to help? Today's grasslands don't dare to easily attack cities on a large scale. Now these are just feints, just to scare us?"
Master Zhou Guoguo nodded and said, "It's possible."
Su Chong said: "In this case, then the general will gather the frontier troops to defeat the feigning enemy in one go, and perhaps rush out to counterattack by surprise to defeat these bluffing grassland troops."
Master Zhou Guoguo shook his head and rejected the idea.
Su Zhong was puzzled, and asked: "Why is this? Our army's most concealed spies have just inspected the grassland army, and the tents on the grassland have been reduced by half, and there is the sound of marching, and they are going far away. It all shows that the conjecture of the last general just now is true, if he rushes out at this time, he will be able to fight a beautiful counterattack, so as to boost the morale of Zhou Guo, which has been sluggish since the defeat."
Teacher Zhou Guoguo said, "It is precisely because the morale of our army is low that I cannot let you take risks. Do you know the historical methods to reduce the burden?"
Su Zhongdao: "The last general will naturally know that during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, Wei State attacked South Korea, and South Korea asked Qi State for help. Qi State took Tian Ji as its leader and Sun Bin as its military advisor. Withdrawal, leaving fewer stoves each time, making Pang Juan think that Qi's army was defeated and the number of people was greatly reduced, making Pang Juan take it lightly, and in the end Pang Juan was defeated and died because of this plan."
Teacher Zhou Guoguo said: "So, in your opinion, the scene where half of the tents have been removed from the grassland is another way to reduce the burden?"
Su Zhong was startled and said: "What the national teacher means is that all of this is a trick of the grassland? By cutting down the tents, we can make our army underestimate the enemy, and send troops to fight against them. When our army chases and kills the retreating enemy, Wanyan can die Khan will lead his army to surround our army of Zhou State and annihilate our army in one fell swoop?"
Master Zhou Guoguo shook his head and said: "Who knows whether it is a plan to reduce stoves or to empty the city? Maybe Wanyan Khan really led his troops back to help. It is estimated that he made such a big noise, maybe he deliberately provoked Our suspicions are unknown."
Su Zhong pondered for a while, then looked at Master Zhou Guoguo and asked, "Then should our army rush out? If we win the bet,"
Master Zhou Guoguo shook his head and said, "Forget it, the morale of our army is low now, and we can't easily suffer another defeat. No matter what the enemy's strategy is, our army will stand still and guard Beiguan. After the news that Khan and the Chu State have handed over, it will not be too late to lead the army out."
Su Zhong cupped fist and said: "The national teacher is thoughtful and thoughtful, I will admire it in the end!"
Master Zhou Guoguo patted Su Chong on the shoulder and said, "Take your soldiers with you."
After all, Master Zhou Guoguo walked down the city wall with his hands behind his back.
...
At the border between the grassland and Zhou Kingdom, behind a hidden low mountain, Wanyan Khan's face was uncertain.
As long as the Zhou State underestimates the enemy, and the third and fourth children lure the enemy deeper, they can annihilate the Zhou State's border army in one fell swoop and rush into the Beiguan. At that time, what they guard against danger will become their grassland, the grassland It also completely controls the initiative to Zhou Guo, and he can return to help with confidence.
But now that he has withdrawn the tent in such a grand manner, how can Zhou Guo remain so indifferent?
Just as Wanyan Khan waited patiently, another letter was delivered to him, and the troops of the Chu State above advanced another forty miles.
Counting the short day yesterday, a call for help would be delivered to him every two or three hours. Calculating the time, it would take two or three days to deliver it to him even if it was delivered by a fast horse.
Three days ago, when Chu State attacked, could it be that the army he stayed on the grassland didn't even stop Chu State's round of attack?
If the state of Chu keeps advancing like this, doesn't it mean that the state of Chu is almost attacking the Wanyan Department now?
Thinking of this, Wanyan Khan broke out in a cold sweat. He knew that even the tribe moved here when Zhou was attacked. Anyway, they are nomads. Where is it different?
Miscalculated!
Thinking of this, Wanyan Khan no longer cared about Zhou Guo, and immediately mobilized his troops to go back to the east of the grassland.
...
Chu State Capital
King Qi and Princess Qi went shopping today, and Princess Qi now likes her husband more and more.
In the past, her husband was busy negotiating important matters with his disciples and counselors, sometimes she might not even be able to see him one day.
Now my husband has completely forgotten about the position of the crown prince and even the army in the court, and instead spend more time together.
Although there is not much money in the mansion now, but eating a sugar painting and drinking a pot of tea together is also very interesting.
Thinking in this way, Princess Qi tightened King Qi's sleeves again.
Now King Qi's reputation in the capital has changed drastically. In the past, when it comes to King Qi, it was so miserable. After all, his legs were broken many times.
But it's different now, since King Qi wasted a few days, they've been talking about how generous His Royal Highness is, how generous he is and how he donates money.
But hearing these words in King Qi's heart, he felt uncomfortable all over!
Is that what I want to be generous with?
It's not because the mouth has become a proton, and now it doesn't need to be this proton for some reason.
If God gave me another chance, the ghost would spend the money on treats!
Now his fief was hit by a disaster the year before last, and it was very serious. With the support of own who is greedy for fame and fortune, his father was exempted from tax burden for three years.
After the Qi Palace cut off tax revenue, it cut off one of the most important sources of income, and the family's money was gone, and life became more and more tight.
Even yesterday when the princess passed by a jewelry store and saw a delicate jade hairpin, he didn't have the money to buy it for her...
If this was in the past, let alone a jade hairpin, even if ten or eight were followed by a zero, it would not be unaffordable.
Ugh……
Useless.
Thinking that King Qi happened to pass by that jewelry shop with Princess Qi again, King Qi felt even more sad when he saw Princess Qi looking at the jewelry shop inadvertently.
When Wang Hao followed Own, all of Own's money was used to recruit doormen to establish relationships, and she never cared about Wang Hao.
Now that there is no doorman, there is no need to clear up the relationship. Can't you even afford a small hairpin?
King Qi felt that he had to do something!
