One Thousand Five Hundred and Fifty-Nine: Failing Nieliang, Attacking Yang Tao, and Pointing at the World (97)
Yang Tao could hold his breath, Feng Zhen could hold his breath too, but Qiu Meng couldn't hold his breath, and walked back and forth all night like ants in a hot pot.
From dark to dawn, he once again asked the servant who was inquiring about the news, but he didn't expect that Yang Tao didn't send troops to intercept the food.
Mr. Qiu was not surprised, instead he scolded his youngest son.
"Yang Tao is also one of the princes of the time. Look at those top princes, which one is heartless?" Old Master Qiu taught his youngest son earnestly. Seeing him humbly ask for advice, he was greatly satisfied in his heart, and continued. He muttered, "In any case, even if we have such a relationship with Yan Lin, it's still not enough to completely win Yang Tao's trust. He must wait and see for a while."
Qiu Meng said dissatisfied, "My son also knows this truth, but Yang Tao doesn't know how much risk his son needs to take in order to send him a letter."
The bigger the movement, the easier it is to be discovered. Once discovered, Mrs. Zhao will be a lesson for them.
He risked his life to deliver information to Yang Tao, every opportunity was precious, who would have expected that Yang Tao would still hesitate.
Old Man Qiu shook his head, "That's why he is a vassal and you are still a bit short of being a leader."
I don't have much vigilance, I won't survive three episodes, understand?
Qiu Meng was depressed, but he didn't dare to talk back, he still needed this old man to support him.
After a while, Qiu Meng sent Yang Tao two more messages, both of which were true.
Because Qiu Meng is just a small bookkeeper, responsible for the first step of returning statistics to the warehouse for grain, grass and supplies. At most, he knows where the grain transport fleet will pass by, but he doesn't know which granary the grain and grass will eventually be returned to. He wanted to know more news, so he had to ask for private entertainment. In order not to arouse suspicion from above, Qiu Meng also took great pains. As everyone knows, all this is going on under Feng Zhen's nose.
Fu Wang was a little puzzled, "Yang Tao is not willing to take the bait? Or is he suspicious?"
Feng Zhen said, "It's impossible to be suspicious, but he has a big appetite, and it's true that he plans to eat in one bite and become fat."
"Forbearance for so long, Yang Tao can also hold his breath." Yang Sidao, "So, next time we send people to deliver tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass?"
Feng Zhen smiled and played with the object in his hand, his eyes were a little playful.
"Wait a minute, now is not the time." Feng Zhen said, "In addition, the Jingyang granary also sent more people to guard it."
Fu Wang was puzzled, "Why? Could it be that their target is the Jingyang granary? Qiu Meng can't get the news."
Feng Zhen said, "Why can't we get it? Yang Tao and others are natives of Zhangzhou. The waterways used by our army to transport grain several times are different, but the enemy can roughly determine which nearby places are more suitable for grain storage based on these routes. Yang Tao is so heavy. Hold on, firstly, Wanshi’s grain and grass are not enough to attract him, and secondly, he also wants to find out our granary, and take it away or burn it at once.”
After hearing this, Fu Wang couldn't help but gasped.
"I didn't expect Yang Tao to have such scheming."
Feng Zhen said, "No one should underestimate him. No matter how straightforward Yang Tao is, he has followed Yan Lin for more than 20 years."
As the saying goes, those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. A pure and innocent little white rabbit will also be stained black by ink.
Yang Si smiled and said, "Perhaps you are thinking too much."
Feng Zhen said, "It is always right to be well prepared and act cautiously."
Yang Si laughed heartily, this is once bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of well ropes, Feng Langzi will have today!
On the surface, it seems to be calm, but in fact it is a dark tide.
Both Fengzhen and Yang Tao are secretly testing each other's bottom line, waiting for the best time to act.
As a pawn in the game between the two sides, Qiu Meng felt that he was playing with the power of the two princes.
On this day, he delivered another big news to Yang Tao.
As if relieved from a heavy burden, he said, "If Yang Tao can't even grasp this news, he should stop fighting in this world and admit defeat as soon as possible."
Why do you say that?
Because there are 100,000 shi of food and grass this time, in view of the large amount, in order to prevent accidents,
The military adviser Yang Si personally led troops to escort him.
This is the secret among the secrets, the news that Qiu Meng took out from the mouth of his drunken "colleagues" with money to clear the way.
If Yang Tao is willing to send troops to attack the grain team this time, not only can he intercept 100,000 shi of grain and grass, but he can also capture Yang Si, one of Liu Xi's right-hand men, alive. Yang Si's reputation in the southern region is not low, capturing him and using him to sacrifice the flag will definitely severely damage the morale of the enemy.
"Why should I go?"
Yang Si waved the golden fan, looking impatient, he is not Fengzhen, he doesn't like to die that much.
Feng Zhen said, "If you don't take the bait, I'm afraid that Yang Tao will ignore the grain and go straight to the Jingyang granary."
Yang Si spat and said, "You prodigal son is going to die, you go yourself, why bother to drag me into the water?"
Feng Zhen said with a smile, "There are blessings and hardships, and the things that make achievements are naturally indispensable to your benefits."
Yang Si: "..."
I've seen thick-skinned people, but I haven't seen people who use their colleagues as bait to lure the enemy and still swear, what a shame!
"What about you?" Yang Si asked him.
Feng Zhen said with a smile, "Naturally guarding the grain depot in Jingyang, maybe Yang Tao likes to lead the way like the master, so he will make a lot of money."
Yang Si rolled his eyes.
If Yang Tao was as careless as the lord, he would not believe that Yan Lin would still manipulate Yang Tao.
"Why did you choose to do it that night?" Yang Si asked another question, looking inquisitive, "I see that you have been watching the stars for the past few days, could it be that you have also learned from Wei Zixiao's magic stick?" Pretentious, able to pinch and count, know the time and direction of the wind?"
"I am a native of Zhangzhou, depending on the weather, I need to be able to pinch and count? Wei Zixiao is a magic stick, but I am not." Feng Zhen flashed a smirk, "Why did you choose to do it that day? Because that day the river will meet There is thick fog, which is suitable for our army to go south for a sneak attack!"
Using the Jingyang granary and transportation team to attract Yang Tao's attention, and then taking advantage of the foggy weather to sneak attack on their army, can accomplish multiple things in one fell swoop.
Yang Si: "..."
He had some doubts, did Yan Lin trick Fengzhen once, or did he dig up the graves of his ancestors for eighteen generations?
This one-handed operation is too ruthless. Is this planning to destroy Yang Tao's lair in one fell swoop?
What a beast!
He thought it was the bottom line for Fengzhen to push out his colleagues as bait, but he didn't expect that even the Jingyang granary was the bait he threw.
On the other side, just as Fengzhen calculated, Yang Tao accurately deduced the real location of the granary based on several intelligence reports.
At this time, Yan Lin, who was squatting at Huankou to train soldiers, also came back.
"Shaoyang, you came back just in time."
Yan Lin said, "I heard people say that the lord intends to lead the troops himself?"
His voice was not heavy, but Yang Tao still couldn't help but hesitate a bit.
"It's not about worrying about the general..."
Before the words finished, Yan Lin said, "Generals have the duties of generals. If they can't charge for the Lord, what's the use of them?"
The military general under the account is so useless that the lord needs to go into battle in person?
Yang Tao's words were blocked, and he said sullenly, "So, then I'll be in charge of the army?"
Yan Lin asked him back with his eyes——
What do you say?
Yang Tao: "..."
