Chapter 957 Start
The book is followed last time.
Six days later.
"Report to the lord, the food has been prepared, with a total of about 55,000 kilograms. The remaining supplies are enough for us and the two thousand troops in three months." Yang Ying held his fist at Li Zhi and reported to the report.
"Well" Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction after hearing this. Then he turned his head and asked Xiahou Dun beside him: "Miaocai, what have you gained there these days?"
"Haha..." Xiahou Dun chuckled and said with a smug look: "In the past six days, a family led 500 cavalry to cause a total of about 10,000 casualties to the enemy!"
Speaking of this, he felt like he was performing his merits and thrust his chest, "If the enemy hadn't reacted later and sent cavalry to encircle us, a certain family might have brought these five hundred men and two Zhang Yan's entire military formation to mess up!"
"Well, that's enough." After hearing Xiahou Dun's return, Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction, "Zhang Yan's enemy is Wang Gouzi, not me.
So there is no need to do too much, just delay enough time.
Ben Hou believes that Wang Gouzi is now ready to resist the enemy.
In this way, as long as I let Zhang Yan know that I am not easy to mess with and have no intention of taking the initiative to attack, I will turn my attention to Wang Gouzi."
Li Zhi didn't want to solve Zhang Yan for Wang Gouzi, he also wanted to make both Wang Gouzi and Zhang Yan suffer losses.
After thinking of this, Li Zhi asked Xiahou Dun's deputy general: "What are the movements of Wang Gouzi these days when I am not in the valley?"
After hearing this, the deputy general thought for a while, shook his head and said in confusion: "I don't know what's going on, but since Wang Gouzi was defeated by us, there has been no movement.
Even if Zhang Yan came here, he didn't take any precautions, as if he was planning to wait for death."
"How is this possible?" Xiahou Dun exclaimed after hearing the words of his deputy general and said in disbelief: "Don't Wang Gouzi know that once Zhang Yan captures him, he will definitely have no way to survive?"
"..." After hearing the deputy general's words, Li Zhi's eyes immediately narrowed and fell into deep thought.
Although he couldn't guess what Wang Gouzi was going to do, Li Zhi decided not to believe it if Wang Gouzi was going to wait for death!
Because in his opinion, Wang Gouzi is very greedy for life and fear of death. Even if there is a slight danger, he is unwilling to take it!
How could such a person bet on Zhang Yan not to kill him?
So, Wang Gouzi must have some other plans.
After thinking of this, Li Zhi asked in a low voice to Yang Ying beside him: "Boxiong, what news does the spies in the city convey?"
After hearing Li Zhidi's question, Yang Ying frowned and shook
He shook his head and said, "The spy in the city has heard news that everything is normal in the city. Wang Gouzi has been holding his troops and is training the army in the military camp."
"Hiss..." After hearing Yang Ying's words, Li Zhi took a breath of air conditioning, rubbed his temples hard, and walked around in annoyance.
Although he guessed that Wang Gouzi must have some other means, Li Zhi couldn't guess what exactly it was.
This feeling of being out of his own grasp made Li Zhi very uncomfortable.
Li Zhi is proud.
He always thought that Wang Gouzi had always been a chess piece in his hand, but now it seems that this chess piece is about to fly!
"Hmm?" After walking for a while, Li Zhi seemed to suddenly think of something, stopped suddenly, turned around and asked Yang Ying, "Boxiong, where did you buy the food?"
"The lord of the cavalry, his subordinates contacted a family hidden in the dark through a local snake in the city and bought food from them."
"What's the surname of that family?"
"This..." After hearing Li Zhi's inquiry, Yang Ying frowned and shook her head, and said in embarrassment: "That aristocratic family claimed to be afraid of being caught by Zhang Yan, so they did not disclose their name."
After hearing Yang Ying's answer, Li Zhi's eyes showed a hint of clarity.
Then he asked softly: "Boxiong, I guess you have been transporting food out very smoothly these few days, and even the soldiers guarding the city gate did not investigate you, right?"
"How did the lord know?" Yang Ying looked at Li Zhi with surprise and said honestly: "As the lord said, my subordinates have been transporting food out in the past few days very smoothly.
It turned out that there were hundreds of people guarding the city gate, but I don’t know what happened these days, only dozens of lazy soldiers were left to guard there, and the others returned to the barracks.
Moreover, these people guarding the city gate did not care about the crowds coming and going, and even did not search their bodies.
In this way, my subordinates easily transported out the 50,000 to 60,000 kilograms of grain."
"It turns out to be so." After hearing Yang Ying's words, Li Zhi smiled bitterly and shook his head. "In the past, I have been planning others, but I didn't expect that I was planning to do something by others today?"
"General Cavalry knows what's going on?" Xiahou Dun, who was standing beside him, asked immediately after laughing at Li Zhi's words.
"That's right!" Li Zhi sighed, nodded and said, "If this marquis guess is correct, this marquis' plan has been discovered by Wang Gouzi!"
"What?!" Xiahou Dun exclaimed in shock when he heard Li Zhi's words, then shook his head vigorously and said loudly: "How is this possible? The plan of General Cavalry is so vague that he can guess? This is absolutely impossible!"
It’s not that Xiahou Dun looked down on Wang Gouzi,
But that's the truth!
He thought he was even more wise than Wang Gouzi, but if he was in Wang Gou's position, he would definitely not be able to guess Li Zhi's idea.
He pointed out that he did not think that Wang Gouzi could guess rational ideas.
"Oh..." Li Zhi sighed after hearing this, and smiled bitterly: "Of course I know that Wang Gouzi can't guess what I think, but I'm afraid someone will give him advice behind Wang Gouzi."
"This is even more impossible. Wang Gouzi is just a mere rebellious force and is inconspicuous at all. How could there be a wise man to serve him...he..."
Halfway through, Xiahou Dun was stunned, his face turned a little ugly, "General Cavalry, what do you mean by..."
Speaking of this, he pointed to the direction where Cao Cao was, and the person he was pointing to was self-evident.
"I am not sure, but there is a great possibility." Li Zhi sighed and said melancholy: "Apart from Old Lady Cao, I can't think of anyone who can help Wang Gouzi."
That's right, Li Zhi just suspected that Old Lady Cao sent someone to help Wang Gouzi.
Otherwise, how could Wang Gouzi do such an abnormal behavior?
"..." Xiahou Dun's face immediately became gloomy after hearing Li Zhi's words.
After a long time, he asked in a low voice: "Have you ever guessed why Wang Gouzi lurked in the city quietly?"
Regarding the matter of Mr. Cao, Xiahou Dun really didn't want to ask more questions, so he could only talk about him.
After taking a look at Xiahou Dun, Li Zhi replied calmly: "You are wrong. If I guessed correctly, Wang Gouzi is no longer in the city."
"Not in the city?" Xiahou Dun asked in confusion: "Why did General Cavalry say so? Didn't Wang Gouzi's camp always be stationed in the city?
According to the news from the spy, the camp has been practicing all the time.
It can be seen from this that Wang Gouzi's army has been stationed in the city.
Could it be that Wang Gouzi abandoned the army and ran away alone?"
After saying this, Xiahou Dun immediately shook his head subconsciously and denied his thoughts.
Because in his opinion, although Wang Gouzi is greedy for life and death, he is even more greedy for his own power!
He will never give up his army and run away alone!
"The person who gave advice to Wang Gouzi was very clever, and we were all deceived by him!"
Speaking of this, Li Zhi sighed, "If this marquis had expected it was right, Wang Gouzi would have escaped quietly with tens of thousands of elite troops and the supplies given to him by this marquis.
