Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 102
Guo Cheng.

A new batch of grain was loaded on the truck. This time, the grain transport officer carefully inspected each bag before loading it on the truck to ensure that the bag was indeed filled with grain.

They didn't want to be like their predecessors, when they arrived at the barracks and found bran in the bag, they were beheaded by Li Shengtian directly.

Fortunately, the food this time is all real.

"I heard that this emergency grain adjustment has emptied several large granaries in the capital."

"No way, the Holy One is furious, no one wants to lose his head."

"You said that the group of people above really dared... dare to greedy for this food, so they are not afraid that Qingzhou will be lost?"

"That's not what you and my brother should worry about."

"Too."

The grain transportation officers said that after all the grain was loaded into the trucks, they would set off before the sky was bright.

Not long after the convoy set off, several people appeared not far away.

They looked in the direction the grain cart was leaving and looked at each other.

It took a while for someone to break the silence: "You said, would Su Yuan really know how to rob food?"

"do not know."

"If he doesn't rob, why buy information from us? 10 taels of silver!"

"I mean, how did he rob? Even if it's a small army, it's not easy to bypass Li Shengtian's scouting sentries, right?"

"Then who knows. Anyway, if we get the money, we'll be safe."

"I'm afraid it will be found out later..."

As they spoke, they all shivered.

They were some of Wang Jian's friends. As the old saying goes, "Qin Hui still has three friends." People like Wang Jian also had such few friends.

Their status is neither high nor low, and their power is not great, but they know some information in detail.

This is also related to Qingzhou's lax military governance. In fact, the Qingzhou Corps has declined many years ago.

In the past, before Beijiang Daying and Beifeng City were established, Qingmo and Mozhou had to face the Beirong people directly, so the folk customs were still relatively sturdy, and the army was also very clear.

But since Su Tufeng was in charge of dealing with Beirong, Qingzhou has been slack from top to bottom day by day.

Up to now, more than ten years later, Qingzhou has become like some states in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the army is naturally corrupt.

Friends like Wang Jian have long wanted to find a way to get rich, but unfortunately they have never been able to find it.Now that I finally have an opportunity, I must take advantage of it.

However, they were also worried that Su Yuan would be defeated, and then the court would find out that they had colluded with the enemy... But they were worried, because the real money was in front of them.

Things that may happen, and the money that will definitely be obtained... let several people choose several times, and they will all choose the money.

After they took the money, they naturally hoped that Su Yuan would win.

At this moment, Su Yuan had already circled to the rear of the northern army.

last night.

After midnight, Su Yuan quietly left the city.

He only brought four people with him, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. In order not to find out their whereabouts, he didn't even ride a horse, and walked around the south side purely on foot.

It is true that the northern army had scouts and sentries patrolling all the time, but they had no idea of ​​it, and they couldn't catch the whereabouts of a few people at all.

Moreover, the four swords of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum are all innate masters. Although Su Yuan is an ordinary person, under the cover of the four, his whereabouts are still secretive.

The few of them bypassed the camp all the way, came to the rear, and walked for nearly three hours overnight, before they saw the city wall of Guocheng.

Su Yuan had two attack points at the beginning, one was military rations, and the other was Guocheng.

At first, he wanted to rob and destroy the army rations, and then occupy Guocheng.In this way, Li Shengtian's hundreds of thousands of troops have no food to eat, and no way to go back. Isn't that the only way to die?
But later, after discussing with Zhao Yun and Chu Changning, Su Yuan felt that something was wrong.

If he used the ability to summon the soldiers of the heavens to suddenly occupy Guocheng, then, inevitably, he would have to divide his troops.

Tianmenguan and Guocheng divided their troops.

There will be a problem, that is, if Li Shengtian chooses to concentrate all his troops and attack one place, it is very likely that Su Yuan's soldiers will suffer heavy casualties.

Su Yuan's troops are small in total, and if they are divided into two places, can they still defend against the attack of Li Shengtian's entire army?

He is not very confident.

Moreover, Guocheng's city defense situation is incomparable with Tianmenguan. Guocheng's city walls are too short and open on all sides. Li Shengtian can fully use his superior force to attack the city from all sides, so Su Yuan can't really defend it.

After understanding the problem clearly, Su Yuan resolutely gave up his original idea, and still wanted to destroy the military rations first.

It is not so easy to gather the military rations of several 10 people. As long as this batch is destroyed, Li Shengtian's army has only two choices.

One is a desperate fight, and the other is to withdraw to Guocheng.

Either way, the outcome will be failure.

Even Su Yuan was thinking in his heart that maybe Li Shengtian would be eliminated within the Great Zhou court without his taking action.

This is a very normal thing. As a general, you are leading troops to fight outside, and you have been defeated repeatedly. How could someone in the court not participate?
In addition, Emperor Qingxiang was always irritable, so in a fit of anger, he might really seize Li Shengtian's military power and let him go back.

In that way, Su Yuan could win the war easily...if Su Yuan didn't do anything.

But will he do nothing?
No.

On a small slope not far from Guocheng, Su Yuan, Mei Lan, Zhuju and others sat on the ground, using the raised ground to cover their bodies.

In this way, the food transportation team from Guocheng couldn't see them at all, and they would only find them when they got close.

And once you get closer and find out, it will be too late.

At present, the food transportation team is still in the future, Su Yuan is bored, so he talks to a few people.

Zhu Jian said: "Master, after the rations are destroyed, will we still go to war with the northern army? Or will they collapse without fighting?"

Su Yuan thought for a while and replied: "If they don't do anything, they will indeed feel ashamed without fighting. But based on my understanding of Li Shengtian... Although I haven't spoken to him, judging from his actions these days , he is a man with a steady fighting style but a paranoid mind."

"With such a character, after learning that the rations were destroyed, his first reaction would probably be to fight me."

"A decisive battle?" Lan Jian asked curiously, "Master, do they still have the strength to fight without food?"

"It's because I'm hungry that I have to work hard." Su Yuandao, "But this is just my assumption. It is also possible that Li Shengtian chose to lead his troops back to Guocheng immediately... If so, it will become more troublesome for us."

The army returned to Guocheng and stationed again. It would not be easy for Su Yuan to attack the city by force.

At that time, the method of capturing Taiyuan City will be repeated again?Some adventures.Moreover, Guocheng is just a small city used to raise horses, and its strategic value is not very great.

Su Yuan didn't want Li Shengtian to go back alive, and he didn't want this army to maintain its rank.The result he wants is Li Shengtian's death, and the army surrenders and disperses, so that he can easily capture Qingzhou.

to this end……

Su Yuan solemnly said to several people: "I have already made up my mind. After destroying the army rations, I will take the initiative to attack."
