Chapter 216: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas (2)

Tao Zhulu said to Lan Ziyi:

"According to the information I have got, the Thief Heavenly King is going to fight with Lei Youde."

Lan Ziyi was in high spirits when he heard the news, and turned his head to look at Tao Zhulu,

Tao Zhulu saw that Lan Ziyi didn't speak, so he continued to ask:

"Whether it is the eyeliner in the thief army or the eyeliner arranged among the people outside, I am told that the situation in the thief camp is very tense after the withdrawal from Xiangcheng."

兰子义 says:

"Because of the defeat of Heavenly King Xiangcheng?"

Tao Zhulu nodded and replied:

"Exactly,

Before the siege of Xiangcheng, the king of heaven, he said that the true god had decreed that Xiangcheng would be broken, but he was forced to retreat in the end.

On the contrary, Lei Youde has shown his skills since the Battle of Yuzhou, and when he retreated from Xiangcheng, Lei Youde made the young master suffer a big loss, and now Lei Youde's prestige among the thieves is getting higher and higher.

Moreover, in the battle of Xiangcheng, the elite of thieves loyal to the Heavenly King suffered huge losses, and Lei Youde's own personal soldiers have not been put into the city wall......"

Lan Ziyi listened and sneered:

"I guessed, that thief must have used the siege as an excuse to kill people with a knife, and finally put the useless general to death in front of me, what a clever calculation."

Peach Road:

"According to the information I have gathered, Lei Youde is a generous and courageous person, sharing weal and sorrow with the soldiers, and this person is shrewd, not afraid of things, and quite a famous general."

Lan Ziyi interjected:

"Well, it can be seen in these few encounters that the thieves captured by Dangyang have also heard similar words in their mouths."

Tao Zhulu said again:

"But what the young master doesn't know is that Lei Youde also has a mastermind, and it is said that he is a half-way thief."

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"Aren't the thieves all the scholars who are thieves at Tianmei's place?"

桃扵鹿 says:

"Young master, don't laugh, it's true.

This Xiucai should be cast under Lei Youde's account near Jingzhou, and has been hidden behind the scenes, very low-key, it is said that Lei Youde has participated in the major decisions made by this person, in my opinion, this person is a bit like Lei Youde, the role of the two gentlemen of filial piety and Wen Ruo to the young master. “

兰子义 says:

"Since this person is so mysterious, how do you know about it, second brother?"

桃扵鹿 says:

This is one of the manifestations of Lei Youde's incompatibility with the Heavenly King.

This person was originally behind the scenes, but now he has been dug up, and it is rumored in the thief camp that he persuaded Lei Youde to 'Qingjun side'. “

Lan Ziyi took a deep breath, hugged his arms to his chest, touched his chin with one hand, and after thinking for a while, he asked:

"What's the news in the bandit camp?"

桃扵鹿 says:

"Before the battle of Xiangcheng, the headquarters of the Heavenly King, it had an absolute advantage among the thieves, but as I said just now, the elite loss of the Heavenly King's men in the first battle of Xiangcheng was huge.

In order to avoid the southward official army, after the thieves marched eastward, Lei Youde, who was originally the queen of the palace, actually marched in a hurry overnight after defeating the young master, ignoring the orders of the king, and changed from the end of the team to the head of the team.

Although the strength of the Heavenly King still occupies the majority, there is no absolute gap with Lei Youde, and Lei Youde still has a backup move. “

Lan Ziyi asked:

"What's the trick?"

桃扵鹿 says:

"Wei Hou remembers that we used the anti-plot Hou Tianwang's barbecue meeting outside the West Gate?

Lei Youde did not hand over the thief officers and soldiers in the camp to the Heavenly King at that time, but hid under pressure. “

Lan Ziyi gasped when he heard the news and said:

"That is to say, Lei Youde now has a group of instructors who are familiar with the ranks and can train his rabble into warriors.

And this group of people has already surrendered to thieves without returning to the official, Lei Youde saved their lives again, and this group of people is already Lei Youde's people. “

Saying this, Lan Ziyi couldn't sit still, stood up and walked in the room,

Lan Ziyi asked Tao Zhulu again:

"Second brother, do you have any eyeliner among these people?"

Tao Zhulu shook his head as he listened.

Lan Ziyi shook his head when he saw Tao Zhulu, looked up to the sky and sighed, and said:

"Lei Youde is a hero, and it is only a matter of time before the Thief Heavenly King is killed by Lei Youde.

I hate not to listen to Mr. Xiaozhi that night, if I go out of the city to pursue again, I will definitely be able to make a big gain by taking advantage of Lei Youde's rapid march, and Lei Youde will not expand his strength so easily.

I'd rather let the Heavenly King lead the army than let Lei Youde become bigger!

Now that the dragon has entered the sea, it is difficult to replicate, and our army is so weak, how can we destroy the thieves under the reversal of strength and weakness? “

Lan Ziyi gritted his teeth and squeezed the words out of his mouth, and stomped on the ground with his right foot, looking at the momentum, even if he smashed the green bricks under his feet, he probably couldn't vent the anger in Lan Ziyi's heart.

Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhulu stood one by one, and the darkness of the room under the dark fire of the lonely lamp was written as lonely.

Then Lan Ziyi raised his head, his eyes were full of determination born of remorse, the determination to destroy the thief.

Lan Ziyi turned around and walked out the door,

Lan Ziyi stomped his feet in the house just now, and the sound was very loud, which had already alarmed the guards stationed in the courtyard.

Seeing Lan Ziyi come out, the two guards hurriedly clasped their fists and asked:

"What does Master Hou command?"

兰子义 says:

"Go and call everyone over, there's something to discuss."

Then Lan Ziyi turned around and was about to go to the house.

The guard did not understand, and asked:

"Who are you calling Master Hou?"

Lan Ziyi was stopped by the guards, turned around and said:

"My eldest brother, third brother, and Mr. Qiu Xiaozhi and Mr. Qiu Wenruo,

General Lee has a vigil tonight? Go and inform him so that he can come over when he has time. “

After that, Lan Ziyi returned to the house.

The big guys all live in this courtyard, and after a while, everyone will arrive, and even Li Guangzhong will come from the vigil tent.

Tao Zhutu hadn't woken up when he entered the house, and asked Lan Ziyi sleepily why he didn't sleep well.

After Lan Ziyi told everyone the news that Tao Zhulu had brought back, everyone woke up with a spirit, and Tao Zhutu lost his sleep.

After Lan Ziyi finished introducing the situation, he bowed to Qiu Xiaozhi and said:

"Ziyi didn't listen to Mr. Xiaozhi twice, and suffered a big loss both times.

It really hurts that Mr. Xiaozhi's strategy was buried by my stupidity. “

Qiu Xiaozhi hurriedly got up and helped Lan Ziyi up, and said:

"Wei Hou, what is this doing?

I Qiu Xiaozhi has been a small official all my life, no one appreciates it, no one reuses it, fortunately, Wei Hou gave me the opportunity to show my strengths, how can it be said that it is buried?

I can see it clearly, it's just a bystander, Wei Hou is at the core of the command, you have to worry about much more things than me, and you have more information than me, I can think of a way for you, but I can't make decisions for you.

And the wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, I just deduced a reasonable result from the current situation, not that there is any ability of unpredictable prophets, Wei Hou should not be superstitious about me. “

Qiu Wenruo also said at this time:

"Wei Hou is quick-witted, frail and strong-hearted, someone is in charge, and he is no worse than his father in terms of wisdom, but Wei Hou is only sixteen years old.

My father and I defected to Wei Hou's tent because we believed in Wei Hou, and Wei Hou must not be presumptuous. “

Lan Ziyi was persuaded by Qiu Xiaozhi and sat back in his chair,

At this time, Li Guangzhong said:

"Since the thieves have broken through Zhongli, and Zhongli is in the lower reaches of Shouchun, and the thieves are attacking the city with a water army, so the army of thieves is in Zhongli?"

Hearing this, Tao Zhulu shook his head and said:

"The army of thieves did not join forces, Lei Youde led his troops to capture Zhongli and stationed them downstream, while the Heavenly King led his troops to entrench Shouchun."

Li Guangzhong asked:

"Why did the thieves arrange it like this?

Is it because of Lei Youde's infighting with the Heavenly King? “

桃扵鹿 says:

"Yes and not all.

Of course, the thief Kou Tianwang stationed in Shouchun went south along the thin water to capture Luzhou, and then crossed the river to Shangluo, but Lei Youde didn't think so,

As far as I know, after leaving Xiangcheng, Lei Youde has been advocating to avoid the capital, he said that the capital is heavy, the official army will inevitably mobilize heavy troops to defend, and it is too risky to fight across the river, and he wants to attack other places. ”

At this time, Tao Zhuhu said:

"The thieves have already invaded my Dazheng confidant, in which direction did they go without interception?

So in which direction does Lei Youde want to fight? “

At this time, Qiu Xiaozhi said:

"The thieves can run wildly with timber and materials, and they have been catching up in front of the officials and soldiers without being caught up, it must be that there must be someone along the way to answer the thieves, it can be seen that the thieves' demon law has spread to the surrounding areas,

Since the thieves have eyeliners, they won't be unaware of the obvious news that the defense of the capital is empty and the armies are gathered on all sides.

I think Lei Youde has something to say, and there must be another reason why he is unwilling to attack the capital. “

Tao Zhulu replied:

"Mr. Hyozhi's inference is very accurate,

At the beginning of the thief's uprising, the king of heaven confused the public with rumors, saying that he would enter the capital on a certain day, a certain month, and a certain day, and the current date is very close to what the king said, and if he captures the capital, the king will be invincible, which is not what Lei Youde wants to see.

And ......"

Tao Zhuhu asked:

"And?"

桃扵鹿 says:

"And although Lei Youde has become the de facto second eldest in the thief army, the thief has always relied on witchcraft, even if the king of heaven is inferior to Lei Youde in terms of strength, but the army of thieves still needs the king of heaven to stabilize."

Qiu Wenruo said at this time:

"That is to say, although Lei Youde has strength, but he has no morality, once he loses the Heavenly King Lei Youde, it is an excuse to go to control his subordinates, and there is no way for him to give his subordinates another set of fallacies and heresies of rebellion."

Qiu Xiaozhi also nodded and said:

"But Lei is virtuous and highly powerful, and he himself is not a good man and woman who is willing to condescend to others, otherwise he would not rush to the army to pick peaches, so that the king of heaven will definitely try his best to get rid of him.

Now that the external troubles of the thieves are no longer enough to threaten the survival of the thieves, Lei Youde and the Heavenly King have no reason to fight side by side, and I think the internal strife of the thieves is right now. “

桃淚虎 says:

"In terms of human ability, it must be that Lei Youde's side is stronger than the Heavenly King,

However, Shouchun, where the king of heaven is stationed, is upstream of Lei Youde, and occupies the advantage of terrain.

It can be said that the king of heaven occupies a favorable area, and Lei has virtue and occupies people. “

Peach Rabbit said at this time:

"I heard that the time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people, so Lei Youde will win?"
