Chapter 599: Spies
"Alas, the old man is old, and he doesn't want to worry about these mundane things anymore. No blame, after this battle, the old man plans to go to Kaifeng Mansion to enjoy a few days of Qingfu, I don't know what you think? "Zhi Congruan was indeed choked and exhausted by housework.
The most important thing is to select a qualified heir to make the family business more prosperous.
It's just that Zhe Congruan didn't dare to let go before, because he was worried that the trust was not a person, which would lead to the fall of the family.
Now, with Li Zhongyi, a strong in-law, supporting the old Zhe family, Zhe Congruan completely let go of his thoughts. The sky is falling, there are flower girls and the grandson of the Zhe family, Zhe Congruan is already old, and he really doesn't want to continue to worry about it.
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and said: "Hua Niang has been chattering, thousands of miles away, unable to serve your old man, it is really unfilial. I believe that if Hua Niang gets the letter, she will be very happy, and she will be happy under the knees of her ancestors, and she will be happy with her great-grandson. ”
The smile lines on Ruan's face gradually unfolded, and finally, he touched his white beard and said, "Those who know me are not to blame!" ”
Li Yunxiao, who was waiting on the side, didn't understand too much what kind of dumb riddle the two old foxes were playing with each other, but he knew one thing: If Ruan Ruo settled in Kaifeng, the back house of the old Li family, I was afraid that there would be another good show.
Li Yunxiao didn't understand the mystery, Li Zhongyi would never break it, he knew very well in his heart that Zhe Congruan had already seen the future trend of the court, and planned to support and teach Zhe Saihua how to be a qualified "noble lady" nearby.
Now, the battle with the Khitans has not yet begun, and even if Li Zhongyi wants to make excuses from the life plan proposed by Ruan, he can't shirk it.
It can be seen that why ginger is old and spicy? Answer. Obviously, it's in the word foresight.
Some people have struggled all their lives, but they do the of making wedding dresses for others, such as: Han Xin.
Some people only need to think deeply, write books, and send telegrams, and they will win the world. For example: Mao Taizu.
Since ancient times, those who have achieved great things have been good at employing people, that is, those who work hard to control people!
After a short rest, the coalition forces once again regrouped and trekked along the muddy loess path, hitting the Khitans' backs.
It was dark at night, less than twenty miles west of the city of Zhaozhou. Li Zhongyi ordered the advance to be halted and the generals were summoned.
In the makeshift military tent, Li Zhongyi handed the handwritten military order to Yang Lie. Yang Lie took the military order, glanced at it slightly, couldn't help but smile at Li Zhongyi, turned his head and read aloud: "The whole army turned around and went north to ambush the Khitan main force outside the city of Zhaozhou. ”
Fold Ruan's eyes widened. stared at Li Zhongyi's face, which one is this?
Forthwith. Zhe Congruan suddenly woke up, Li Zhongyi once said: Soldiers, the first thing is suddenness.
The so-called, unexpected, reasonable, refers to Li Zhongyi's change of sneak attack now.
Fold Congruan narrowed a pair of old eyes. looked at Li Zhongyi with blazing eyes, even he didn't know Li Zhongyi's battle plan, let alone the Khitan who had always been ignorant?
The generals on Li Jiajun's side all obeyed the order, and there was no superfluous nonsense. Zhi Yunshui looked at Zhi Congruan, and he didn't mean to speak. He wanted to ask what was going on, but he was worried that he would be embarrassed again and ask stupid things.
Ever since, after the two families of Zhe and Li joined forces, Zhe Yunshui has almost lost the face of the generals of the Zhe family, as if the local peasants in the countryside of Fuzhou have entered the flowery Bianjing, and they are completely stunned.
Zhi Yunshui didn't dare to ask rashly, but Zhi Yujiang didn't have so many concerns, he took the initiative to come out and asked Li Zhongyi: "The last general wants to ask Li Xianggong, why did he suddenly change the location of the battle?" ”
Li Zhongyi seemed to have expected that Zhe Yujiang would come out to speak, and said lightly: "Soldiers, treacherous, our two coalition troops are close to 40,000 people, and the movement of the march will definitely not be small." The Khitans don't need to get close, just light the military flag, and they know the approximate number of our army. ”
Li Zhongyi lifted the teacup lid in front of him, pinched it in the palm of his hand, turned it slowly, and looked at Zheyujiang with a calm smile.
Zhi Yujiang was angry with Li Zhongyi's arrogance and rudeness, and suddenly raised his voice and said: "Li Xianggong knows the other main force of the Khitans, where is it now?" ”
Li Zhongyi nodded politely and said with a smile: "If we don't know their location, let's rush over, if we rush into the ambush circle set up by the Khitans in advance, wouldn't we lose all our money?" ”
Zhi Yujiang was about to continue to ask, but when he saw Zhi pulling down his face from Ruan, a cold muffled snort burst out of his nose, and he quickly closed his mouth, not daring to continue entanglement.
"Everyone, please look here." Li Zhongyi raised his chin slightly and signaled to Song Yunxiang that he could start.
Song Yunxiang commanded several senators in a hurry, and put the sand table marked with the latest military information in front of everyone.
Zhe Congruan couldn't help but be curious, so he simply came to the sand table and looked at it like this, good guys, the small blue flag representing the Khitan people was densely spread more than 20 miles east of this place.
What's going on? From Ruan's heart, he immediately realized that it was likely that there was an internal response of the Khitan people in the army.
If it weren't for Li Zhongyi bringing out the latest sand table of the situation, Zhi Congruan would never have dreamed that people are harmful to the tiger's heart, and the tiger also eats people's hearts.
The Khitans would have happened to be ambushed on both sides of the path of the coalition army's advance, and if it was a coincidence, it would be impossible to believe that the death of Zhecong Ruan would have been.
After Zhe Yunshui saw the situation clearly, he couldn't help but take a few breaths of cool air, obediently, under such bad weather conditions, if he rushed into the Khitan ambush circle in ignorance, it would be difficult to escape the end of the annihilation of the whole army!
After everyone in the folded family woke up, they all turned their eyes to Li Zhongyi's body, Li Zhongyi slowly took half a sip of tea soup, and said with a solemn expression: "In order to detect the enemy's situation, the sentry camp lost more than 20 elites in one day, you can imagine, how much the Khitan people want to eat us in one bite?" ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, it will take at least three years to train a qualified sentry." Li Zhongyi glanced at the audience with a complicated expression, and said with great regret, "The entire pioneer sentry camp is only more than 500 qualified sentry agents. Among them, there are no more than 100 elite warriors. ”
Although Li Zhongyi did not continue, Zhi Congruan was already very able to understand Li Zhongyi's deep regret and regret at this moment.
It took only three years to train a little more than 500 qualified sentinels, and just for the outpost battle, they lost one-twenty-fifth of their elite strength, and if they were to obey Ruan himself, he would definitely have pain in his flesh and liver. (To be continued.) )
