Chapter 219: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas (3)
Qi Rongxun brushed his clothes away and said loudly:
"Since Wei Hou doesn't welcome me, then I should also get acquainted,
Farewell! “
Seeing this, Lan Ziyi hurriedly got up, caught up with Qi Rongxun, and said while stopping people:
"Qi Hou stays."
Qi Rongxun shook off Lan Ziyi and said:
"Wei Hou can have a long talk with people when he sleeps, what face do I have to come and disturb, what are I doing here?"
Lan Ziyi gently spread his two hands on his chest, comforting Qi Rongxun and said:
"Qi Hou, don't be angry, I summoned people to the courtyard late at night to discuss the downstream matter,
It's just that I can't bother Qi Hou in the middle of the night, so I just discussed it behind closed doors, and I didn't mean to reject Qi Hou. “
Qi Rongxun obviously didn't believe Lan Ziyi's words, and retorted sharply:
"Since Wei Hou didn't reject me, why did I rush to the door and lie to me that I was asleep? Is this the hospitality of the Marquis? Are you fooling me? “
Lan Ziyi heard Qi Rongxun angry, but he was very calm,
Waiting for Qi Rongxun to finish speaking, Lan Ziyi said:
"I commanded the gatekeeper to say,
Qi Hou also saw it when he came over just now, there was not a single guard in front of my door, and the guards were very far away from me.
The reason why I even avoid these soldiers who get along with me day and night is because of important military affairs, and the more secretive it is, the better......"
Qi Rongxun's fire has not been extinguished, and when he heard Lan Ziyi say this, he immediately retorted:
"So Wei Hou means that I should also be kept secret? In that case, I should go. ”
Lan Ziyi first glanced at the guards who came with Qi Rongxun, signaled that he could go back, and then said to Qi Rongxun:
"Qi Hou, don't be angry, what I discussed in the house is military, Qi Hou came over to tell me that it is also military, everyone is a thief for the country, they are all trying to win the war, whether or not to call Qi Hou is just a matter of first come, first come, Lord Qi Hou has a lot, eliminate the fire, come in and let's talk."
Saying that, Lan Ziyi pulled Qi Rongxun's arm and stretched out his hand to the house to ask
Qi Rongxun was still angry, but he was inexplicably powerless to refute when Lan Ziyi said this, and only after pulling Lan Ziyi a few steps did he react that something was wrong, standing at the door and saying:
"Wei Hou, don't say it so beautifully, it's obvious that you are calculating me, why has it become a first-come-first-served thing? It's like I'm making a fuss. “
At this time, Tao Zhutu, who was sitting in the house, jumped up and pointed at Qi Rongxun and said:
"Qi Rongxun, my young master called you Qi Hou to give you face, you are really welcome,
When you were in the capital, you and Zhang Mingyue colluded to calculate the young master with guns and arrows, and the young master of my family was not a person inside and out, and now you dare to say that my young master is calculating you, what is the reason? “
Qi Rongxun's face changed greatly when he heard Tao Zhutu mention "colluding with Zhang Mingyue", and the anger just now was dissipated, and he said to this Tao Zhutu without hesitation:
"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I collude with Zhang Shoufu? “
When the other people present saw Qi Rongxun's demeanor, they all smiled after exchanging glances with each other, and then looked at Tao Zhutu approvingly.
Lan Ziyi smiled, pulled Qi Rongxun and said:
"Qi Hou come in, my third brother just can't see me being bullied, there is no malice."
Qi Rongxun just wanted to speak, but Lan Ziyi immediately blocked him back and said:
"We are now in front of the army, and we are all generals of the unified army, so we should stop bickering like children.
Military intelligence is important, military intelligence is important, come in and talk about it together. “
As he spoke, he pulled Qi Rongxun into the house and let him sit down.
When the two came in, Tao Zhuhu personally got up and closed the curtain for the two.
This Qi Rongxun completely lost his temper, although he felt a little unclear, but he couldn't understand what was wrong, he had already sat in the room again, so he didn't do much to investigate, after sitting down, he drank saliva, eased his mood and went straight to the core:
"Now that Wei Hou already knows the news of the loss of Shouchun and Zhongli, then we should make a move."
Lan Ziyi thought to himself that this Qi Rongxun was really an upright and simple man, just now he was still angry because he was Ken, but now he is actually relieved and bold, and there is no discussion of military intelligence at all.
Since Qi Rongxun is simply like this, he can't pit Lan Ziyi, at least before Zhang Mingyue's instructions, Qi Rongxun doesn't need Lan Ziyi to be too vigilant,
So Lan Ziyi was not pretentious, and said directly:
"We discussed it for a long time before Qi Hou came just now."
Then Lan Ziyi looked at Qiu Wenruo,
Qiu Wenruo understood in his heart, and took over and said:
"But we didn't discuss anything."
Then the big guy, you said a word to me, and told Qi Rongxun the results of the discussion just now,
Qi Rongxun seemed to have a big head when he heard it, and finally interjected after waiting for someone to finish speaking:
"I said you are thinking too much, the thieves may have to fight, but it won't be as complicated as you say, right?
If I want to think about it, I might as well think about how to destroy the thief. “
After hearing Qi Rongxun's words, Qiu Wenruo wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lan Ziyi raising his hand slightly.
Anyway, it is not up to Qi Rongxun to lead the army to fight the thief, Lan Ziyi is also happy that Qi Rongxun is simply like this,
Lan Ziyi asked:
"Then according to Qi Hou's opinion, how should we destroy the thief?"
Qi Rongxun came to his senses when he heard this, and he said:
"Our army is in the west, Hailing reinforcements are in the east, and King De led the Beijing army back to help should have reached Luzhou in the south.
The thieves' army in Shouchun and Zhongli seems to be surrounded by us on three sides, but in fact, because the thieves' army is much larger than ours, it is the thieves who take the initiative, and they can take the initiative to break us down.
If the Marquis of Wei asks my opinion, then I will say that now our army should join forces with reinforcements from three sides to encircle and suppress the thieves. “
As soon as Qi Rongxun finished speaking, Tao Zhuhu immediately said:
"Qi Hou just said that we are in danger of being broken by the thieves again, and then proposed that we attack on three sides, isn't it a contradiction?
Even with the weakness of our army, it is difficult to stop the attack of the thieves, and once it moves, isn't it easier for the thieves to find a flaw? ”
Everyone present heard Tao Zhuhu's rebuttal and turned their eyes to Qi Rongxun,
Qi Rongxun was not stopped by Tao Zhuhu, on the contrary, he looked confident after hearing someone ask, and said:
"Tao Zhuhu, you are right, with the current strength of our army, it is indeed not enough to defend against the attack of thieves.
And because of this, we can only attack,
The thieves already have the advantage, and if we give up the initiative to the thieves, we will completely become fish on the board, and let the thieves slaughter them.
Stick to it and die, look for the flaws of the thieves, and take the initiative to attack to have the possibility of victory. “
Everyone listened to what Qi Rongxun said, exchanged glances, everyone felt that what Qi Rongxun said was quite reasonable, Qi Rongxun's words sounded very unreasonable, even the defensive forces were not enough to take the initiative to seek an attack, but if you think about it, it is true, if you continue to take it so idlely, even if you are not eaten by the thieves, it is very likely that you will be starved to death, and the food in Fengyang North Road has not been sent over
But this does not mean that Qi Rongxun's method is a complete strategy, Tao Zhuhu then asked:
"What Qi Hou said is indeed reasonable, but we only have 30,000 people in our hands, and the number of thieves, if you count the homeless people who have been recruited along the way and the strong men who have been burned and looted, it is estimated that it is about to break one million, does Qi Hou still think that our army is invincible and can be a hundred? What can a person do when he arrives in front of the thief army, he will definitely die in battle, and there is not much chance of sneak attack. “
After hearing this, Qi Rongxun replied:
"You are right, our army is indeed a remnant of the defeated army now, and it is extremely tired, but the matter is man-made, even if there are many thieves, there will always be an opportunity, and the thieves have recently recruited a lot of people, all of whom are fleeing homeless, mixed with fish and dragons, and the thieves are not necessarily monolithic, how tightly can they be defended, didn't you analyze for a long time and said that the thieves will be infighting? Isn't that the biggest opportunity?
And I'm not just going to let us go deep alone, but I'm going to join the other two armies, and after the three armies work together, there are nearly 100,000 people. “
At this time, Tao Zhulu spoke:
"Of course, Qi Hou wants to join the three armies, of course, it is a good idea, but Qi Hou himself also made it clear, the current three officers and armies are in three directions, and the thieves are in the middle, we send messengers to contact the other two armies is to give the thieves a chance to capture people and seize information, even if our messengers can avoid the thieves, how to ensure that the three armies are together? If we can't join forces, we will still be defeated by the thieves. “
Qi Rongxun thought about it after listening to Tao Zhulu's question, and said:
"In the past few days, I have been in contact with the Eastern Army of Duliang, although if you want to avoid the thieves, you must take a detour, but it is not impossible.
The same is true for liaison with Luzhou, we can send someone to go west first, then go south around the river, and go down to Luzhou to contact King De. When the time comes, we only need to agree on the time and place, and arrive on time, we can guarantee that we will be in one place. “
After hearing Qi Rongxun contacting the Eastern Army, Tao Zhutu sneered:
"Qi Hou himself is not a fair and upright gentleman, this is the first time I have heard of this little secret of yours."
Qi Rongxun was ridiculed by Tao Zhutu before he realized that he had leaked his mouth, and his face turned red.
But at this time, everyone was not interested in grasping such a little thing, so Tao Zhulu continued to ask:
"Qi Hou can't help but think too well, let's not say whether it is feasible or not to agree on the time and place, just say that after contacting Luzhou, how can we let the Beijing army arrive at the rendezvous place on time? Did Qi Hou forget that it was King De who was leading the army? “
Hearing the word "King De", Qi Rongxun's face also showed embarrassment, but Qi Rongxun still said:
"No matter what, we have to go to the thieves, staying here is not only waiting for death, but also disregarding the safety of the capital, which is disloyal."
Hearing this, Lan Ziyi took a deep breath and said:
"We do need to hunt thieves, and we do need to go downstream, but it's not easy, and we have to discuss it clearly."
Qiu Xiaozhi also said:
"What Wei Hou said is right, we are the last new force around the capital, and we are not allowed to make mistakes.
Since this is the case, please ask Qi Hou to transfer Hailing's eastern army together, so that there is a greater chance of victory. “
