"What does this mean?"
Zhisu Neishi didn't understand at all. The rebel army had already attacked, but the Taiwei didn't seem to care. Are they giving up their hard work?
The Taiwei looked at Zhi Su Neishi strangely and asked: "As Zhi Su Nei Shi, do you have any way to solve the food shortage?"
Zhi Su Nei Shi was speechless for a while.
He was not the head of Guizhou Province. When the merchants were facing a food ban, it was impossible to raise enough food in a short period of time. Although he wanted to control the history of millet, how could he do it? Unless the trading company is forced to provide food, but the trading company belongs to Shanglinyuan, how can they provide food unless they capture it.
He shook his head quickly, there was nothing he could do.
"So we must take down Shanglin Garden and take down Shanglin Garden's food. Only then can everything be solved, and only then can the world be stabilized and the riots naturally subside."
Zhisu Naishi nodded. As long as the grain from Shanglinyuan is released to the Qin Dynasty, the riots and disturbances caused by the lack of food at this moment will naturally subside, the uprising will be unsustainable, and the Qin Dynasty will return to peace.
It’s better for adults to see clearly!
"So you are saying that your Excellency allowed the uprising and vowed to take down Shanglin Garden?"
"No!" The Taiwei paced slowly, but his eyes fell into the distance, and his words were lowered, "The rebel army is getting bigger and bigger, so how can we let it go? Of course, if they can control it well, they will only know how to control it. It's just a jumping grasshopper, it can't make big waves."
"Oh!" Zhisu Neishi's eyes lit up and he looked at the Taiwei intently, "Sir, you mean that you already have a plan?"
The Taiwei glanced at Zhisu Neishi meaningfully, said nothing, let alone responded. He quickened his steps, walked out of the palace gate, and when there was no one around, he solemnly ordered Zhisu Neishi: "Recall Zhang Han immediately , and ordered him to go to the Lishan Mausoleum to lead the prisoners into an army, and ordered Su Jiao to garrison the corridor, and Wang Li and Shejian as deputy generals to rush to Julu City."
After pondering for a moment, he added: "Secretly transport three thousand cannons to serve."
"Three thousand cannons?" Zhi Su Naishi's worries were swept away, and his face was filled with shock.
This time, the number of artillery brought back by the Lord was only a thousand. He guessed at the time that there should be more, but he did not expect that there were so many. His Majesty took away one thousand, and now there are still three thousand. There are actually four thousand, which is incredible. !
Four thousand artillery, and I heard that this artillery was more powerful than the artillery that besieged Xianyang before. I heard that the range could reach 800 steps. He knew very well what 800 steps meant.
It was hundreds of steps ahead of the artillery at that time.
Of course, the elite's weapons are also very powerful. He doesn't know how powerful they are, but there are only a thousand elites left in Shanglinyuan. No matter how powerful their weapons are, they can't compare to a thousand more advanced artillery! That’s eight hundred steps! Moreover, there were 80,000 city defense troops, and they were piled to death.
Also, 3,000 artillery pieces arrived in Julu to fight the rebels. Even if they had more people, it would be in vain. Without a big killing weapon, even if they were allowed to go unchecked, they would not be able to turn over the tide. What’s more, they also sent out prisoners. There were hundreds of thousands of prisoners in the Lishan Mausoleum. , and there are warriors trained by Meng Tian, who can defeat any intruder.
However, no matter how many people there are and how advanced the weapons are, it will be in vain without the support of food and grass. He quickly asked: "Currently, food and grass are a problem. Even if we can rush to the giant deer, there is no guarantee that they will have food problems."
"I wonder if food can be delivered to Bashu?"
The Taiwei said: "The land of Bashu? Hehe! That's just a cover. Do you think Mr. Xiang is not prepared?"
"Oh!" Zhi Su Naishi's eyes widened and he asked urgently, "Sir, do you mean that it is fake to say that 20,000 troops transporting food, but it is true to lure a thousand elites?"
The lieutenant didn't speak, but his expression confirmed this.
Zhisu Naishi smiled and continued to ask: "Is there enough food and grass already sent to Xianyang City?"
"Of course! Go! Someone will help you with everything."
"Promise, I will take care of it right away." Zhi Su Neishi was overjoyed and quickly agreed, but he stopped mid-sentence because Zhang Han had been idle, could he still be used? Moreover, he is Li Zhao's man, can he be used?
Two questions were entangled in his mind, and Zhisu Naishi immediately raised them.
The lieutenant just smiled, didn't respond, and walked away.
Zhisu Neishi didn't get a definite answer, but he couldn't disobey it. After asking for the imperial edict, he went to Zhang Han to declare it. When Zhang Han heard that the rebel army was invading, he accepted the order without much rejection and took the order to Lishan. .
Ten days later, we went to Shanglin Garden.
News came from Xianyang that Hu Hai mobilized 80,000 city defense troops and personally marched to attack Shanglin Garden. Hearing that there were also artillery, he seemed determined to capture Shanglin Garden.
"Does he really think highly of me going to Linyuan? Eighty thousand? All the city defense troops, right! Don't you want Xianyang City? Aren't you afraid that the rebels will take Xianyang easily?"
Li Zhao smiled bitterly, but his goal was achieved. Twenty thousand city defense troops escorted the baggage, and eighty thousand came to attack Linyuan. The city defense troops were all here, which meant that Xianyang had no troops.
This is good news!
But the next moment it always felt like something was wrong.
It’s too easy to be fooled. Even if you are fooled, you can’t be fooled to this extent! Knowing that the rebel army was approaching Hangu Pass with great force, but still leaving an empty city, this does not conform to ordinary people's logic, and the officials are also extraordinary.
Is there something fishy here?
The good mood brought by the good news just now disappeared all of a sudden.
It's so abnormal.
"Young Master, Hu Hai's army has been launched. How should we respond next?" Wu Quan asked urgently.
Li Zhao paced without saying a word.
He really didn't expect that Hu Hai would be so crazy that he would abandon the defense of Xianyang City and lead the army, and would go on a personal expedition. It seemed that not only he was crazy, but some people behind the scenes were also crazy.
At the same time, he felt a sense of solemnity. Some people were crazy, but others were definitely not crazy. They had a purpose. What purpose could it be?
Is it just to capture Shanglinyuan?
Maybe! In fact, Shanglinyuan has too many things they want.
"One thousand elites and five hundred red cannons cannot defeat them. Recall one thousand elites immediately."
Li Zhao suddenly said, but Wu Quan muttered and stopped talking.
"Did something happen?"
Li Zhao was shocked. After so many days, there was still no news about the thousands of elites who were out. Something must have happened, but why was no one telling him such an important thing?
There was a vague feeling in his heart that something was wrong, something must have happened, and why Hu Hai came out in full force might also have something to do with this.
"Not really, it's just that they were restrained and couldn't come back for a while."
Wu Quan didn't dare to look into Li Zhao's eyes. He lowered his head and whispered. After learning the news, he was afraid of affecting the young master, so he didn't say anything. He was thinking of a solution with Meng Yi and others.
Of course, there is no danger to a thousand elites with sophisticated weapons. They are just trapped in a trap. It will take some time to get out of the trap.
Perhaps this outing was intentional by Hu Hai. He knew that he could not kill the elites, so he could only trap them in a design.
"How's it going?"
Wu Quan saw that he could no longer hide it, so he told the news he got.
"It turned out to be a trap. You came prepared!" Li Zhao's brows instantly furrowed. He made a mistake and underestimated Hu Hai's abilities. No, he probably underestimated the abilities of the people behind them.
"It's no wonder they came out in droves. They must have known that a thousand elites were trapped!"
