Chapter 204 Opportunity
Yushakou.

Li Jie sat in the big tent with a dignified expression.

The spies reported that when the Marquis of Yongning of the Zhou Dynasty was patrolling the city wall, he was exhausted and collapsed.

With many speculations in his mind, Li Jie stopped the lieutenant beside him who was actively trying to express his opinion, and only asked the spies to pass the news back to the main account and to Shi Wei, the commander-in-chief of Daliang.

The spies withdrew.

The deputy general hurriedly said to Li Jie, "Then Qin Yin must be ill."

"So?" Li Jie asked.

The lieutenant general said: "So, we should take this opportunity to attack in one fell swoop."

Li Jie sullenly did not speak.

The lieutenant-general knew the nature of his saw-mouthed gourd, so he gave up lobbying. Anyway, besides Li Jie's judgment, whether to attack or not depends mainly on the commander-in-chief's thoughts.

The Marshal garrison is on the west side of Yushakou.

The spies sent the news overnight.

At dawn, Li Jie received a message from Shi Wei.

Shi Wei is very concerned about Qin Yin's condition, thinking that this is a good opportunity to attack Feimenguan.

Hearing this, the lieutenant was in high spirits.

Li Jie had a long face, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He didn't care about filling his stomach, so he led the horse and went to the main tent in person.

Shi Wei was discussing the military situation with the generals under his command, when he saw Li Jie appearing, he couldn't help being annoyed.

As the commander of Yushakou, how could Li Jie leave his post without authorization?

This is against the rules.

"To make a long story short," Shi Wei said, frowning, "Hurry up and go back after finishing speaking, and lead the military law yourself."

Li Jie took a step forward and said, "They're probably planning. If they only get a little information, they will rush in, and they may fall into a trap."

"What trap?" Shi Wei didn't like to hear this, "I know Qin Yin best, he is brave and unparalleled, but he is not good at strategy."

A person beside him added: "Judging from the previous situation, Qin Yin is indeed ill."

Li Jie patiently said: "When the spies reported, when Qin Yin fell, the soldiers beside them looked eager but not panicked. Those who rushed to the city wall one after another were also step-by-step and methodical."

"This shows that Qin Yin's illness is not a sudden emergency. He can't take it anymore. Feimenguan knows his situation well, so he can be orderly." Shi Wei said.

"If this is the case, what did Qin Yin do on the city wall knowing that he was unwell?" Li Jie paused and said, "There is another situation, they are singing an opera, pretending, so they are not in a hurry, they want us to misunderstand Sentence."

Shi Wei stroked his beard.

Li Jie's words are not without reason.

only……

"So, what does General Li think is the purpose of their move? Let us misjudge, what benefits can they gain?" Shi Wei asked.

Li Jie couldn't answer.

It was because he couldn't figure it out that he couldn't make a long story short and directly persuade Shi Wei.

All he knew was that the people of Zhou must have done this on purpose, and that if they made a rash move, they would definitely suffer a big loss.

Seeing that Li Jie was speechless, Shi Wei said, "Look, you don't know either. Then let me ask you again, is Qin Yin pretending to be sick, or is he sick?"

Li Jie replied sincerely, "I'm sick."

In this battle, the original general of the Zhou people was Feng Zhong, which is clear.

If Qin Yin was in good health, he should have arrived at Feimen Pass long ago, instead of slowly arriving after the two armies confront each other.

Furthermore, with Qin Yin's character, after arriving, he will definitely walk inside the pass, not to mention immediately lead the troops to fight outside Yushakou.

Supervising military training and inspecting the city walls, I can't stay idle from morning till night.

However, after the spies watched for a few days, only Zhou's scouts came in and out of Feimenguan, and there was no sign of Qin Yin.

After finally showing up, he fell directly.

In this way, it can be concluded that Qin Yin was already sick in the capital of the Zhou people, and he may have improved. Maybe he was stubborn and persuaded the emperor to come to Feimenguan. However, the long journey made his body worse.

"He is sick, and he can't bear to walk a few steps on the city wall. How to lead troops?" Shi Wei was very confident, "Feng Zhong became a master, let alone Mao Gu'an. He was originally dissatisfied with the dignitaries. If Yin is healthy, of course he can take control of the situation, but what about now? Besides his own son, who else can Qin Yin trust and listen to him when he is sick? "

Li Jie pursed his lower lip, wanting to refute, but didn't know where to start.

Shi Wei saw his reaction in his eyes, and said: "I have some ideas.

Qin Yin came to Feimenguan with illness. This matter cannot be hidden, and it will spread sooner or later, so he stood up and let us see.

False and real, let us hesitate and slow down the pace of attack.

His illness shouldn't be fatal, but it's just that he was tired and repeated. He needs time to recover, and also needs time to firmly hold the military power.

Feimenguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not a bone to chew on, if we let Qin Yin calm down, it will be difficult in the future. "

Li Jie thought about Shi Wei's words.

There's some truth to it, it's just...

"I think the original arrangement of the commander-in-chief is more secure." Li Jie said.

According to the previous arrangement, Great Liang's lobbyists have already arrived in Nanshu, as long as they talk about sending troops from Nanshu, how long can Feimenguan last?
Qin Yin is healthy, and it is very difficult to deal with the coalition forces of the two countries.

If he can't afford to be ill, it will be an opportunity for them to make a big move eastward.

Shi Wei waved his hand.

As a commander in chief, he knows more than Li Jie.

Convincing Nanshu is not based on the mouth of lobbyists.

The situation is not clear enough, and the benefits cannot be shared. Nanshu is like an old tree that has taken root for thousands of years, and it will not move a step.

If there is an advantage to take advantage of, there is no need for lobbyists to open their mouths, and the old dryad will come to join in the fun by dancing branches.

The current situation is that Nanshu is still on the sidelines and will not send troops easily.

As for their Great Liang, if they send troops to the east, they will certainly gain some results in battle, instead of taking a stroll outside the Feimen Pass and returning to the court with their troops.

Instead of waiting for the Shu people who don't know when they will send troops, it is better to take this opportunity to press the army up and take Feimenguan.

Seeing that Shi Wei wouldn't listen, Li Jie couldn't help but worry: "Marshal, you must not rush into this matter."

Shi Wei stood up abruptly, glaring at Li Jie.

He doesn't talk about it, so he patiently talked with Li Jie for so long, but what about Li Jie?

If there is no proof, what kind of reasoning does it take to tell him not to rush over and over again?

If there is a reason and evidence, of course he will listen, but no.

"I've made up my mind, you go back to Yushakou!" Shi Wei said.

Seeing that they were about to quarrel, another general, Su Zhi, got up to smooth things over, put his arm around Li Jie's shoulders, and took him outside the tent.

"General Li, General Li!" Su Zhi asked softly and in a low voice, "Do you remember how Shi Shuai's father passed away?"

Li Jie was taken aback.

Of course he remembered, he died of illness.

Su Zhi said: "Back then, spies had discovered that Lin Xuan was seriously ill, but Lin Xuan was always cunning and cunning when he used soldiers.

Shi Shuai's father suggested to wait and see, not to rush forward, so as not to fall into the trap, even if there were rumors of Lin Xuan's death, he still hadn't made up his mind.

This gave Zhou people a chance to retreat all the way east.

Wait until you wake up and then catch up. You know the result later. "
