Chapter 172 When the Plan Is in Progress
On the vast wilderness, Shang Ji led more than a thousand people to escort tens of thousands of shi of grain and walked on the land.
Qin Wei used Shang Ji as a bait, not to send him to die, so the plan was quite thorough.
First of all, because Tomunubo had successfully robbed food several times before, Shang Ji was responsible for escorting food for the first time. There were a lot of guards, a total of 3,000 people!
Even fools know that after being robbed of food, they need to strengthen their vigilance. If it was still the same as before, and hundreds of people were sent to escort food and grass, with Tom Nubo's cunning, he would definitely not dare to come easily.
Of course, with 3,000 troops escorting him, Tomnubo also did not dare to come to his death. However, this was within the expectations of Shang Ji and Qin Wei.
After several successful escorts, the number of escorts became less and less, until this time there were only a thousand people left. Give Tomnubo "the illusion that after a few successes he has begun to relax."
"Sima, do you think Tomunubo will be fooled this time?" Guo Biao, beside Shang Ji, stared at his surroundings vigilantly, and asked in a low voice.
"What's the hurry? If he really doesn't come all the time, then his two thousand elite troops will be completely useless. With his pride, he will definitely come, but sooner or later!" Shang Ji replied calmly without rushing.
Guo Biao nodded, stopped talking, and looked around carefully.
For his fellow countryman, Guo Biao felt more and more incomprehensible!
Originally, he only thought that Shang Ji was an ordinary person who had read some books, but who knew that he was actually very powerful. In just over half a month, he has become an official Sima!
In a blink of an eye, the little brother who needs to be taken care of by himself has become an existence that needs to be looked up to. How can this not surprise Guo Biao? At the same time, he admired Shang Ji so much that he almost believed whatever Shang Ji said. Shang Ji said that Tomnubo would come, so Guo Biao was convinced that he would come.
"Be careful, don't be careless!" Guo Biao turned around and shouted at the soldiers in charge of rhyming.
Seeing Guo Biao greeting the soldiers, Shang Ji nodded in satisfaction. Guo Biao's ability is still good, and his personal strength is not bad. He is in the upper middle level of the third-rate military generals, and he can be regarded as a first-line general in the Blackwater Fortress.
However, the reason why Shang Ji personally asked Qin Wei to transfer Guo Biao was because he was obedient!
It is not an easy task to rush to serve as the commander of the first army without a confidant! What's more, Shang Ji still needs to take on the task of baiting.
Therefore, Shang Ji suggested to Qin Wei that many middle and low-level officers who had left under Shang Ji's command should be transferred back to form an army with ordinary soldiers.
Qin Weilue satisfied Shang Ji's request as soon as he thought about it.
At present, most of the chiefs of the more than 1,000 soldiers under Shang Ji's command are Shang Ji's old troops in the scout battalion, and because of this, Shang Ji has a high prestige in this army.
In addition, although the number of escorts has been decreasing these days in order to paralyze Tomubo, the specific strength has not decreased but increased.
Most of the 3,000 soldiers in the initial escort were fourth-rank soldiers, and there were less than five hundred fifth-rank soldiers. But now, all the soldiers under Shang Ji's command are at the fifth rank at last!
If Tomnubo rushed out recklessly, he would definitely be able to teach him a profound lesson!
Of course, if Tomnubo really gave up destroying the Yan army's logistics and instead led the army back, Shang Ji would not suffer. Every time he successfully escorted the food and grass back to the camp, he would get hundreds to thousands of mission points. In the past few days, the average daily mission points are even more than fighting to death in the scout camp.
At present, the war has not yet fully broken out, and escorting food and grass is already the most rewarding task that Shang Ji can touch for the time being.
Just when Shang Ji Youzai Youzai was lying down and earning mission points, in a hidden stronghold, a bearded Donghu military general was waiting for news.
"Da da da..." There was a rush of hoofbeats, and the bearded general was startled, and immediately signaled his subordinates to check the situation.
Soon, the subordinate went down and returned, and at the same time came back another soldier dressed as a Yan man.
"How is it? Did you find out clearly?" The bearded general asked anxiously immediately.
"Honorable Nubo warrior, I have already found out! The military commander in charge of transporting food is named Shang Ji, who is of low strength. He climbed up to Qin Kai's son Qin Wei by relying on his beard and flattery. That's why he was appointed as the military escort. !"
"Are you sure the news is accurate?" Tomnubo asked again worriedly.
"Of course, this is information after repeated confirmation!" The visitor said confidently.
In fact, this is also one of the important reasons why Qin Wei sought out Shang Ji as bait!
The Yan army and the Donghu people are old enemies, and the Donghu people basically have a corresponding understanding of who is good in the Yan army. Of course, the same is true for Yan Jun.
If a titan was sent to escort him, Tomnubo would be easily deterred from acting.
If the escort general is too weak, he will easily swallow it in one gulp. Although Shang Ji had established a great reputation in the scout camp, this reputation was not enough to attract Tomnubo's attention.
Then the two of them made a little plan, staged a few good shows in the military camp, and successfully dispelled the misinformation that Shang Ji was a lucky villain.
The Donghu spies lived up to expectations and passed such information to Tomnubo.
Tomnubo frowned, turned around and asked a thin Donghu man, "Bucket, did Holy Eagle observe any special situation?"
A Donghu man named Baket bowed his chest to Tomnubo, and then said: "Dear warrior, Shengying has not observed any special situation. Even if he comes to support immediately after being attacked, it will take half an hour at the fastest." It's time to arrive!"
"Are you sure there is no hidden army?" Tomnubo asked again, frowning.
"Noble warrior, you understand that nothing can escape the sharp eyes of the holy eagle!" Bucket replied proudly.
Tomnubo nodded when he heard the words, and said nothing more.
He is very clear about Donghu Shengying's ability.
It is also relying on Donghu Shengying that Tom Nubo can move freely behind the Yan army.
The so-called Donghu holy eagle is actually a domesticated eagle. Donghu people choose the most ferocious prairie eagle and domesticate it from childhood. Then use the secret method, so that the falconer can share the vision with the holy eagle.
In this way, to detect the enemy's situation, it can be called a spy satellite in the era of cold weapons.
Relying on the ability of Donghu Shengying, Donghu people can often quickly grasp the enemy's movements when fighting against the enemy, and prepare corresponding subordinates first, which greatly improves the success rate of combat.
Because Tomnubo is the son of the commander-in-chief of Donghu, and this mission is extremely dangerous, he was assigned a very precious holy eagle of Donghu for his use.
"Could it be that the Yan people are really slacking off?" Tomnubo said to himself, stroking his beard.
"Warrior Nubo, the scimitars of the warriors are already hungry and thirsty, it's time to attack!" The generals under his command also immediately persuaded after hearing the words.
"Yes, yes, warrior Nubo, it's time for the warriors to attack!" The rest of the people also spoke out one after another.
Tomnubo, who was already hesitant, heard the words, glanced at the generals who were full of fighting spirit, and made up his mind.
"Okay! Pass the order down and attack!"
