Chapter 541 Chapter 539 [The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying] ()
To the north of Dingzhou are the Baotai mountains.

Since Jingjun occupied the northern part of Dingzhou, the connection between the Qixing Gang and the south has been cut off.

It is true that Jing Jun cannot be completely isolated, but compared with the smooth communication before, it is now very difficult for the Seven Star Gang to communicate with Nanfang.

In fact, the Seven Star Gang was not in a good situation during this period.

Jing Jun's blockade was one of the reasons. This time, under Qing Yugong's clear instructions, Jing Jun did not enter the mountains recklessly. Instead, he launched a blockade on the west and south sides of the Baotai Mountains and did not allow a grain of food to be sent in. In the mountains.

Relying on previous reserves and reclaimed wasteland in the mountains, the Seven Star Gang can still ensure a supply of food, but if the blockade continues, the consequences will definitely be more serious.

This involves the second reason, which is that people in the mountains are unstable.

Unlike back then when they could have both sides, the Seven Star Gang now has lost the capital to turn to Jing Chao.

Whether it was the battle in the mountains the year before last or the subsequent assistance from the Seven Star Army to Qi Jun, once Jing Jun had the opportunity to enter the mountains, he might not kill everyone, but at least he would eradicate all the gang members who had enmity with Jing Lian people.

This war between Qi Jing has been going on for more than half a year. No one knows when it will end or when Jing Jun's blockade will be lifted.

In the Zhongyi Hall, Qi Lianfu, the master of the Yin Hall, looked solemn and said slowly: "Previously, Governor Xiao asked Mr. Lu to send a secret letter, saying that if he led troops to support Jingzhou, Jing's army's offensive at Jishantun would be too fierce. If so, our Seven-Star Army will lend a helping hand. Now it seems that the gang leader may have to make a decision."

Ran Xuanzhi, the leader of Lintang, coughed slightly and said slowly: "Now we also have some difficulties ourselves."

The Seven Star Army has an advantage in the mountains. If the battlefield becomes the plains in northern Dingzhou, they may not be able to take advantage when facing the Jing Army.

It is not difficult to disrupt grain routes, but that does not mean there are no risks.

The battlefield battle between Qi Jing and Qi Jing is extremely intense right now, and the only one in Dingzhou that can pose a threat to Jing's army is the Seven-Star Army.

Once the Jishan garrison defense line is forced, the consequences need not be elaborated. The central and southern parts of Dingzhou will be directly ravaged by Jingjun's cavalry.

Today's mountains are no longer a paradise. On the contrary, the atmosphere is quite gloomy.

Lin Jie pondered for a moment and asked: "Is there so much pressure to gather good people to station the Qi army?"

It was fine that the Qi army won in the end. If the Qi army failed in the Jiangbei battlefield, where would the tens of thousands of people from the Seven Star Gang go?

Fortunately, Lin Jie's injuries had long since healed. The Seven-Star Army obeyed Lin Xi's words and there were no signs of internal unrest for the time being.

Qi Lianfu shook his head and said: "Last year in the battle of Dingfeng Road, Feiyun Army lost troops and generals, and the current situation is not very good. The most critical problem is that their every move is under the close supervision of Jing Jun. Once they leave the city, they will We will be immediately besieged by Jing's army, and even Fengqiu may be lost."

But the time has come when changes must be made.

Dong Mian asked in a deep voice: "How is the situation of the Feiyun Army in Fengqiu City?"

Qi Lianfu is responsible for inquiring about intelligence from various places. Now he wants to know the situation in Yan and Jing. It is very difficult, but the northern part of Dingzhou is okay. After all, Jing's army does not have such tight control here.

Everyone understood this truth, so the atmosphere in the hall was very dull.

At this moment, besides him, Lin Jie and Lin Xi, there were only Lin Hall Master Ran Xuanzhi, Shan Hall Master Dong Mian and Seven Star Army Deputy General Tao Baochun in the hall.

These are absolutely trustworthy people who have passed countless life and death tests, so Qi Lianfu did not deliberately conceal it and simply told the truth.

This is the reason why Xiao Wangzhi specifically asked Lu Tong to send a message to Lin Jie.

He nodded and said: "Yes. Governor Xiao evacuated the elite Huaizhou Army. Currently, the defense line of Jishan Tun is commanded by Governor Li Jingda of Dingzhou. This person's talent is not obvious, but he has not caused any trouble during this period. Old Hold on to the fortress honestly. However, the Qi army currently responsible for the defense is relatively weak and cannot stop Jing Jun's attack. If it continues, the Jishan Tun defense line will definitely be breached by Jing Jun. "

Everyone is thinking and weighing, and it is difficult to make a decision in a hurry.

Of course, Xiao Wangzhi did not want the Seven-Star Army to face off against the Jing Army. He just hoped that they could send troops from the mountain trails to harass the Jing Army's food roads in the south when necessary, thereby slightly reducing the pressure on the Qi Army defending Jishan Tun.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone thought that he tended to ignore the danger of the Qi army in the south, but no one immediately refuted it, including Lin Xi.

She just looked at the elder quietly.

Ran Xuanzhi continued: "The brothers in the gang all know that we and the Jinglian people are at odds with each other. Although the attitude of the gang leader and us has always been very clear, the lack of any action in the past six months will inevitably make some people's minds come alive. We and Qi Jun In fact, we are on the same boat. Once the Jishan Tun defense line is breached by Jing's army and the sphere of influence controlled by Qi's army is further compressed to the south by Jing's army, our situation will be even more difficult. "

He paused slightly and said seriously: "Whether it is to appease people's hearts or to support the Qi army, I personally think it is better to send troops."

Dong Mian nodded without hesitation: "I agree."

Qi Lianfu didn't express his position, he just looked at the gang leader questioningly. Lin Jie looked around at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Lin Xi's face and asked, "What do you think of Xi'er?"

Lin Xi did not rush to agree to send troops. Although everyone in the hall knew about her relationship with Lu Chen, she was no longer the girl who rode horses and did whatever she wanted.

Lu Chen's position in her heart was as usual, but she had to consider the fate of tens of thousands of people in the mountain. This was the responsibility Lu Chen taught her.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Xi said calmly: "If we just disturb the grain road, can we dispel Jing Jun's determination to attack Jishan Tun?"

This question stunned everyone else.

Lin Xi added: "I don't know much about the secrets of military affairs, but as long as they don't run out of food, Jing's army will definitely not withdraw its troops in a hurry, right?"

Qi Lianfu glanced at Lin Jie again and saw the gang leader's expression of relief, so he nodded and said, "What the eldest lady said is absolutely true. The generals in charge of Jingjun's army this time are Mie Gudi and Xi Lie. These two people are worthy of They are called Qing Yugong's right-hand men. In the previous battles in which Jing's army defeated Zhao, these two men were often responsible for commanding the troops. They were experienced and experienced in using troops. Even if we made a move to disturb the grain road, as long as we did not seriously damage Jing's army. I'm afraid they will ignore our army and continue to attack the front line of Jishantun."

Lin Xi looked at him and asked: "Uncle Qi, do you know where the grain and grass are stored on the Jingjun front line?"

Qi Lianfu couldn't help but hesitate.

Lin Jie finally said: "Tell me."

Qi Lianfu said: "Miss, according to the information from the Yin cousins, Jingjun's grain and grass storage is currently divided into two places. One is Jiuquzhai and other places in the south of Dingfeng Road, which is the base camp of Jingjun's East Route Army. , grain and grass are continuously transported from Yanguo Henan Road, and then transferred to Jingjun everywhere. I don’t recommend trying here, Jingjun’s defenses are extremely tight.”

Lin Xi asked noncommittally: "Where is the other place?"

Qi Lianfu said: "There is another one in Luoshan County in the south, which is about thirty miles away from the Qi army's defense line in Jishan Tun. Jingjun's southern grain route is from Jiuquzhai to Luoshan County, and then stored in Luoshan County. inside, and then transported to the front line in batches for use by Jing’s army.”

In fact, for this reason, everyone in the hall already understood Lin Xi's plan.

For the well-trained Jingjun, attacking the grain road was just a scratch. Even if they were to take 10,000 steps back, the Seven-Star Army could cut off Jingjun's grain road without encountering any danger. Jingjun on the southern front could also rely on the reserves in Luoshan County. Continue to attack the front line of Jishantun.

If Lin Xi wants to surprise Luoshan County...

If it can be done, it will naturally force Jing's army to retreat and temporarily relieve the pressure on Qi's army. The question is how can this be so simple?
Any army knows to protect its food, grass and baggage.

While Lin Xi was deep in thought, Lin Jie asked Qi Lianfu: "Can a few good players break into Luoshan County?"

Qi Lianfu shook his head and said: "Gang leader, there are elite Jingjun troops stationed in Luoshan County, and if you want to destroy Jingjun's mountains of food and grass, you will definitely need a large number of manpower, otherwise setting off a few fires will be useless."

Lin Jie nodded, and then said to Lin Xi: "Xi'er, have you thought it through?"

Lin Xi said unhurriedly: "Dad, my daughter is not determined to take risks. She just feels that the relationship between the Seven Star Gang and the Qi State is already on bad terms. If the Qi Army cannot hold on, Jing Jun will definitely turn around and deal with us."

Lin Jie asked: "Then what are you going to do?"

Lin Xi couldn't help but think of Lu Chen's face at this moment, but she knew she could only rely on herself at this time. She tried hard to recall her previous experiences on the battlefield and thought carefully about countermeasures.

No one in the hall urged him.

Lin Jie naturally had a plan, but he was very happy to see Lin Xi's growth. In the future, the foundation of the Seven Star Gang and the Seven Star Army would be completely handed over to her. Obviously, these things cannot be relied on just one skilled martial arts.

After a long time, Lin Xi said slowly: "Dad, my daughter thinks that we can first create an illusion of leaving the mountain on the south road of Baotai Mountain. This is just to confuse the Jing army who is guarding outside. At the same time, I will lead the cavalry to come out of the mountain from the trail. , We will make a posture of disturbing the opponent's grain road. Once other Jing troops come to pursue us, we will retreat immediately. Anyway, Jing troops cannot fill the entire northern part of Dingzhou. "

Lin Jie said approvingly: "Then what?"

Lin Xi looked at the encouraging look on his face, as did other elders in the hall, and said calmly: "After confusing Jing Jun, I will let a few masters sneak into Luoshan County at night, set fire to the city and create chaos, and then I will Directly lead the troops to attack, and with the cooperation of the brothers in the city, enter the city to burn the Jing army's food and grass. At that time, the Jing army from the front will definitely come back for reinforcements, and we will go directly south to join the Qi army. "

The hall was quiet.

Although no one expressed their opinions directly, it could be seen from their expressions that Lin Xi's idea was feasible to a certain extent.

Lin Jie suddenly laughed and said gently: "You can give it a try, but more detailed arrangements must be made. Mr. Lian, you can't be lazy this time."

Qi Lianfu immediately stood up and said: "Don't worry, Gang Leader, I will accompany the eldest lady on this trip."

Lin Xi couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes became brighter.
