"General, please speak."
"I can - take refuge with the general. I will not hesitate to do so if I have an order from now on, but from now on, I will no longer act under the name Shi Baoqing, and I will no longer show my true face to others. I can only wear a mask. "
Yang Ying was slightly startled, but he was not very surprised: "General, why are you doing this? I came to conquer King Qin on the orders of the emperor. If you take refuge with me, you are taking refuge with the emperor. You are a minister of Daqian, and you take refuge with the emperor. This move It’s definitely not in the name of loyalty.”
Shi Baoqing lowered his head sadly and said: "If the consort allows me to surrender, this is the condition. If the consort is willing to agree, then so be it. If not, I would rather die."
Yang Ying wanted to recruit Shi Baoqing to surrender. In addition to his own military ability, there was another important factor, which was his reputation.
With Shi Baoqing's reputation, the forces that originally supported King Qin were likely to waver, and the forces that were originally wavering were very likely to fall to Emperor Joan's side.
But according to Shi Baoqing's conditions, the value of Shi Baoqing's surrender was greatly reduced.
"Okay! I promise you."
As Yang Ying spoke, he cut off the rope on Shi Baoqing's body with a single blow.
"Thank you, Prince Consort. Can Prince Consort please return the weapon to me?"
"Somebody come!"
Yang Ying directly returned Shi Baoqing's Chang Ge and the accompanying sword to Shi Baoqing. Shi Baoqing took the accompanying sword and pulled it out.
Suddenly, the weapons of the soldiers around Yang Ying were all pointed at Shi Baoqing.
"keep it!"
Yang Ying gave a strong order, and the soldiers slowly put away their weapons. Shi Baoqing swung his long sword and slashed his face, and the blood immediately turned his face red.
"General Shi! Why are you doing this!" Yang Ying shouted: "Quick, treat General Shi's injuries quickly."
"It doesn't matter, it's just a flesh wound. From now on, Shi Baoqing has died on the battlefield. There will be no more Shi Baoqing in the world. I am willing to ask the prince-in-law to name this villain."
Yang Ying thought for a while and said: "Since you are the leader of the four great generals, then you will be called Shi Xiao from now on!"
"Shi Xiao thanks the Prince Consort for the name."
"Shi Xiao!" Yang Ying refused to be polite to him: "Now that the food and fodder of King Qin's army has been destroyed, what do you think we should do next?"
Shi Xiao said: "Although the stored grain and grass are destroyed, when the army marches, it will always carry with it a day or two of grain, so the morale of the army will not collapse immediately. Other generals may choose to withdraw their troops, but His Highness King Qin will not. He will only urge the soldiers Step up the siege and try to capture the city before the army supplies are exhausted."
"Then do you think Li Chengba can capture Qianjing before the army rations run out?"
"able!"
"Oh! Are you so confident?"
"First of all, this is King Qin's army. King Qin is wise and his soldiers are always brave and good at fighting. Of course, the most important point is that there is King Qin's internal support in Qianjing."
"who is it?"
"Wang Kuo is led by the Right Guards of the Imperial Guard. In addition to the other guards, the King of Qin has also deployed many people. As soon as the King of Qin launches a siege, they will immediately welcome the King of Qin into the city. It does not need to take a day at all."
"In this case, the emperor will definitely lose."
"Unless the emperor can have a slow army come before the palace is lost."
"But reinforcements can't arrive so early." Yang Ying said sadly: "So what else can you do?"
"There is a more thrilling way than the Prince Consort burning the army rations, but I wonder if the Prince Consort has the guts?"
"tell me the story."
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin will attack the city with all his strength next. Of course, he dares to do so because he knows that there is no team outside Qianjing that can threaten his 50,000-strong army. But if the consort dares to lead these hundreds of soldiers to attack the King of Qin, , then the King of Qin will resort to the rat weapon and dare not use all his strength, or even dare to attack the city again, and then the situation will naturally turn around."
"Let a few hundred of us attack 50,000 of them. What kind of plan is this!"
The soldier next to him couldn't help but cursed.
Yang Ying stretched out his hand to stop the soldier and said, "Shi Xiao, since you came up with this idea, do you think hundreds of soldiers like me can do this?"
"The hundreds of soldiers of the Prince Consort are more powerful than the Black Armored Army of His Highness King Qin. If the Prince Consort has such courage, he may be able to win."
Yang Ying had actually thought about this strategy for a long time, but the idea was indeed too bold, and he felt uneasy.
"General Huaihua, this can't work! This strategy is too dangerous, and it was his idea!"
Obviously, the soldiers at Hutou Camp still don't trust Shi Xiao.
"I believe you!" Yang Ying said firmly: "And I am willing to hand over the command of these hundreds of soldiers to you."
"General Huaihua Army!"
Yang Ying stretched out her hand to stop everyone.
"Can you take this seriously?"
"Of course it's true."
A wave of heat surged into Shi Xiao's heart, and tears almost came to his eyes: His idea was indeed the only possible way he could think of at this time.
But since he had the idea, how could he not know the danger of the idea? He simply did not dare to expect Yang Ying to agree, even if Yang Ying was very courageous.
But who would have thought! Who would have thought!
Soon, Gao Qichuan, who was still in the camp, also led his team to run out. When he heard Yang Ying's next plan, he was shocked: "General Huaihua, this is absolutely impossible!"
"No doubt, I believe in General Shi."
"Even so, how can we hand over command to him? He just surrendered!"
"Because he is the most familiar with the King of Qin's army. In this battle, we do not seek to completely annihilate the King of Qin's army. We only seek to disrupt them and break their confidence. General Shi knows the details of the enemy best, so it is most suitable for him to command him. But that’s it. Let’s go!”
Yang Ying didn't say anything more and immediately gathered the team and left.
"General Shi, I would like to ask how the team leader who was guarding the camp knew that I was an enemy when I entered the camp just now."
"It's very simple. First, because this is a large camp that stores military rations. Normally, only food transport soldiers and gang leaders come, and they don't know how to bring weapons. But you are not only a cavalry, but everyone is armed with weapons." .
The two men always had passwords for entering and exiting the military camp, but the Prince Consort did not.
Three, since I am leading the troops, I will never let the vanguard officer spread the word for me. "
Yang Ying laughed at herself: "Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be idle in a hundred battles. But today I don't know the enemy!"
The team moved forward for a while, and there was a commotion in front of them. It was an army. It was dark and it was hard to see how many people there were, but they were really many.
"It was King Qin who saw the fire here and sent him back to rescue."
“How do we respond?”
"Avoid them!"
Shi Xiao said decisively: "The people they sent to save food and grass must be elites. If we fight hard, we will definitely suffer."
"good!"
Under the command of Shi Xiao, everyone avoided this team under the cover of night.
"Since we want to avoid them, what kind of team should we attack?"
Shi Xiao said firmly: "Food and grass!"
