Dajin royal family

Chapter 310

Even so, Xue Yuxiong had to explain to Jiang Wei, because he was the chief general and he was only the deputy general.

"The thieves have little food, so they will definitely fight to the death. As long as we resist their first wave of offensive, the morale of the thieves will definitely drop. At that time, if we attack on a large scale again, we will be able to win or lose in one battle. "

"We wait for work with ease, hold the initiative, and the bandits attack passively. It is clear at a glance which one is victorious and which is weak."

After listening to Xue Yuxiong's explanation, Jiang Wei nodded as if he understood, and then said a little embarrassedly: "The general has far-sightedness."

He thought that Xue Yuxiong was just blindly defending, but now that he heard Xue Yuxiong's plan, he naturally agreed.

Xue Yuxiong sighed, he really couldn't understand why the emperor wanted Jiang Wei to be the chief general to quell the bandits, and wouldn't it be the best choice for Wudu Wang to quell the bandits.

"The general laughed at me. Now we just wait for the bandits to come to the door."

Xue Yuxiong's guess was not wrong, whether it was Li Fazhu or Qu Rang, their food was indeed stretched.

Up to now, they have been plundering the food of the civilians, but the problem is that the people of Qingzhou don't have much food in their hands, and they absorb refugees on a large scale, and the ranks of soldiers expand rapidly.

The food in my hand really couldn't last.

At the foot of Mount Hua, the camp of Li Fazhu and Chiju was established here.

Compared with the orderliness of You Xiaowei's camp, this place seems a bit unorganized.

In the big camp, the two sides gathered together to discuss the next march plan.

At that time, after they defeated Yu Wenhuaji, they thought they could easily take Licheng and occupy the entire Qingzhou, but they didn't expect that Zhang Suguo, the governor of Qi County, was so good that he dragged the imperial army to help them, resulting in the current confrontation between the two sides. scene.

In fact, what Xue Yuxiong said was correct. If Li Fazhu and others had joined forces to attack at the beginning, Licheng should have been taken down long ago, but both of them were afraid.

Li Fazhu didn't want his soldiers to fight You Xiaowei to the death and kill Qu Rang and Shan Ding for nothing.

Qu Rang and Shan Ding on the other side thought the same way.

In this way, no one was willing to be the main force against You Xiaowei, which led to a fight between the two sides.

The imperial army was worried that if they lost their fight, another group of bandits would storm Licheng from Tingshan County.

Li Fazhu and others are unwilling to hurt their muscles and bones because of their own interests, and Xue Yuxiong is really stable, far from being as stupid as Yu Wenhuaji.

This made it difficult for Fazhu Li to do anything.

But near the end of the year, the food in their hands was about to run out, and they had to make a decision, whether to retreat temporarily, stick to Zhangqiu, or storm Licheng.

"Brother Li, we can't retreat to Zhangqiu."

Raising his armor, Chi first vetoed the idea of ​​retreating.

"My dear brother, please explain in detail." Li Fazhu cupped his hands.

Chi Ju said: "The imperial army has been standing still. They must have guessed that we are short of food. They want to beat us at leisure. If we retreat to Zhangqiu, the imperial army will definitely believe that we have no food."

"In this freezing season, we have no source of food. If the imperial army surrounds Zhangqiu, we will definitely lose."

Li Fazhu nodded, he understood this truth.

"Your brother's words are correct, so we can only fight to the death?"

Chi Ju nodded, "That's right, Brother Li, don't forget, we don't have much food, and Brother Qu Rang and others don't have much food either. We can't continue like this now."

Chiju means that we can no longer play tricks, and the most important thing is to work together to defeat the imperial army.

Fazhu Li's face changed slightly. In fact, he didn't want to fight among himself at this time, but the one standing in front of him now is You Xiaowei. If there is a big war, it will be us who will deal with You Xiaowei.

Wouldn't that be cheap for Qu Rang?
You know, what Qu Rang is facing is only [-] soldiers from Qi County, if he really wants to fight hard, the final loss will definitely not be too big.

On the other hand, his opponent is You Xiaowei, which is an extremely difficult bone to crack. Even if he really defeats them, he will have to shatter a few teeth.

As if seeing Li Fazhu's hesitation, Chi Ju said: "Brother Li, I have a plan, you may wish to hear it."

"My dear brother, please tell me."

Chi Ju said: "Let's join forces!"

Qu Rang and Shan Ding's marching camp was not far from Li Fazhu and Chiju's. When the messenger soldiers saw Qu Rang and Shan Ding with Li Fazhu's personal letter, they were also distressed.

Compared to Li Fazhu who was worried about You Xiaowei's difficulty, Qu Rang and Shan Ding were worried about what would happen after they defeated Zhang Suguo.

The situation between the two sides is now maintained at an ingenious balance.

The imperial army was afraid of the bandit army, which was difficult to deal with.

Fearing that You Xiaowei would be difficult to fight, Li Fazhu made a wedding dress for Qu Rang after the fight.

After Qu Rang and Shan Ding had finished beating Zhang Suguo in distress, You Xiaowei would definitely turn around to deal with them, and then they would become bait for You Xiaowei.

This will give Li Fazhu and Chiju a chance.

However, the problem before them now is food!
Their subordinates absorbed refugees and bandits on a large scale, and their troops expanded rapidly, which led to a rapid consumption of food.

If they don't fight, they will really collapse themselves.

But if they fight, they will definitely make a wedding dress for Li Fazhu.

This makes people difficult.

Qu Rang and Shan Ding looked at Li Fazhu's handwritten letter and looked at each other.

"This is the best solution. If we continue like this, we will be defeated one by one by the imperial army." Qu Rang said.

Shan Ding nodded, "That's right, our mutual suspicion won't work after all, no matter what, Chi Ju suggested that we join forces to attack is the best solution, and whoever's troops take down Licheng first will be the leader. "

Qu Rang said: "Since that's the case, let's act here, and we will set off to meet them at midnight and attack Licheng directly."

Shan Ding stopped and said: "Wait a minute, we have to hold Zhang Suguo back."

"How to do?"

Shan Ding said: "After taking in so many refugees, let them attack Zhang Suguo and drag him here. We will lead the elite to join them."

After a brief discussion, Qu Rang and Shan Ding each took out 2 people, a total of 4 people, to attack Zhang Suguo.

These 4 people seem to be a lot of people, but in fact the equipment is extremely poor. Most of them don't even have leather armor. Some of them even have hoes and sickles. This is a real peasant army.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Qu Rang left Qu Yao to lead the [-] troops.

Before leaving, Qu Rang told Qu Yao that he only needs to hold Zhang Suguo, don't fight recklessly, if he is defeated, he can retreat immediately.

Qu Yao knew what Qu Rang and Shan Ding were planning, so he gladly accepted the mission and led an army of [-] to Zhang Suguo's camp.

The news of the army's attack quickly reached Zhang Suguo's ears through the scouts.

It was late at night at this time, but Zhang Suguo did not fall asleep, and all the generals came to the main tent of the Chinese army after receiving the news.

"General, are they going to fight us?"

After hearing the scout's news, Wang Boju said.

Zhang Suguo said hesitantly: "This is not sure yet, but the bandit soldiers should really be unable to sit still. Tens of thousands of people came this time, so it shouldn't be a test."

These days, they fought a few scattered encounters, but the number was limited to less than [-], and they were testing each other.

This time 4 people came, and Zhang Suguo couldn't help worrying that the other party would fight hard.

In all honesty, Zhang Suguo has no confidence.

Because there are 10,000+ bandits, but he only has 2.

Although most of the opponents are mobs, they can't stand the opponent's large number of people. If they really want to fight a war of attrition, the 2 people under his command can't support it.

Now there is only one place left in Licheng, and he has no way to retreat.

"Qin Yujing listen to the order!" Zhang Suguo calmed down, stood up and looked at the general Qin Yujing below.

"The last general is here!" Qin Yujing came out.

"I will give you 5000 troops. Be sure to stop the bandit attack."

"Yes."

"Wang Boju listens to orders"

A series of general orders were issued, and Zhang Suguo's camp became restless, and groups of soldiers followed the general and rushed out of the camp overnight to resist the bandits.

Qin Yujing was riding a war horse, holding a tiger-headed golden gun in his hand, looking at the stars in the sky that had not yet disappeared, and sighed lowly.

Here comes the final battle.

What he didn't want to face, he had to face today.
