"My lord, let me tell you now, if he has a treasure that can allow his people to sneak into Leizhou City silently, is this acceptable?"
Chapter 367: Secret Communication Song
After hearing what Xu Zian said, Li Yuan was shocked beyond measure.
Where is this genius?
This is simply divine!
Before, he had also heard many rumors about Li Xiao.
I have also read the general record of Li Xiao.
But I never thought that there is such a deep doorway in it.
Hearing Xu Zian's words now, he seemed to be enlightened and completely understood.
Li Xiao is not at the same level as ordinary people like them.
The funny thing is.
In the past, he actually underestimated, even ignored Li Xiao, and wanted to take Qiongzhou as his own.
Thinking about it now, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.
Obviously, Li Xiao didn't regard him as a threat at all.
Everything Li Xiao did could be said to be playing tricks on him.
But people have this strength.
It is hard for him to imagine how many treasures are hidden in Qiongzhou, which Li Xiao has developed for three years.
After pondering for a moment, Li Yuan smiled wryly and said, "No wonder Qiongzhou has been in a state of blockade for the past few years, and my people can't even step in."
"He is deliberately hiding his strength."
Xu Zian said slowly: "In his opinion, the prince has never been an enemy, it's just..."
"Hehe..." Li Yuan laughed at himself, "For someone like him, I'm just a clown, right?"
"My lord, don't belittle yourself, it might be a good thing."
Xu Zian narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued: "As long as the prince's plan succeeds, aren't these things in the prince's pocket?"
"That's right, my fear of him is more from the fear of the unknown. If I master his weapon manufacturing techniques, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with him."
After a pause, Li Yuan asked doubtfully, "Sir, what should I do now?"
"Whatever he wants, we try to satisfy him."
Xu Zian said slowly: "Didn't he want to see us and Qinzhou lose both sides? Then show him."
"What do you mean by that?" Li Yuanze looked puzzled.
"This battle may be inevitable, but the result can be manipulated."
Xu Zian's eyes were deep, and he said thoughtfully: "My lord, find an opportunity to talk to Ning Yuanpei. This matter must be kept secret, so that it cannot be discovered by Li Xiao's spies."
"Sir, what do you mean... let Ning Yuanpei and I communicate a piece of music in secret, and act for Li Xiao?" Li Yuanze exclaimed in shock.
"Yes, this is the only way now."
After finishing speaking, Xu Zian sighed inwardly.
This is actually a helpless move.
After all, the difference in strength between Leizhou and Qiongzhou is too great, and they cannot be beaten.
It takes a lot of time to steal weapon manufacturing technology.
Thinking of this, Xu Zian continued: "This move is to buy time for Tie Kui on the one hand, and to preserve strength so that the thirteen states in the south of the Yangtze River can be settled in the future."
"No, no! How could Ning Yuanpei agree to this?"
Li Yuan shook his head and sighed with a sad face.
"Why not?"
Xu Zian said thoughtfully: "Tell me the truth. I think he should know the pros and cons. Fate is determined by man. If you don't try it, how will you know the result?"
"Sir, I understand."
Li Yuan suddenly realized, and nodded immediately: "I will arrange it now, whether it succeeds or not depends on God's will!"
……
Qiongzhou.
"Zhou Lan, Captain of the Fanzhou Navy?"
Li Xiao looked at Wei Tianxing in surprise: "Is Xiang Jun sure that this person is Lin Yang's friend?"
"According to the news he sent back, it is indeed the case. He also said that if Lin Yang went to invite him, Zhou Lan would probably dispatch the Fanzhou navy to help." Wei Tianxing said slowly.
"Okay! When there is a war in the north, these people will all come out to make trouble."
Li Xiao's eyes were deep, and he said thoughtfully: "When the Tang Dynasty was first built, there were too many hidden dangers."
After a pause, he continued: "You continue to follow up, I want to see how many secrets I can dig out from Lin Yang."
Wei Tianxing said sarcastically: "Lin Yang has always been conceited, he never thought that all this is under the control of His Highness."
"Perhaps, he himself guessed something, but he has no other choice." Li Xiao said thoughtfully.
"So what if you know?" Wei Tianxing sneered, "Facing the absolute gap in strength, it's useless for him to struggle."
……
Outside Leizhou City.
Ning Yuanpei led an army of [-] troops, surging forward.
This time, they had made sufficient preparations to attack Leizhou and Qiongzhou.
There are a lot of preparations for large siege equipment such as catapults, corner carts, and ladders.
From a distance, the outline of Leizhou City can be seen.
"My lord, this place is less than ten miles away from Leizhou City." A general from Qinzhou cupped his fists towards Ning Yuanpei.
"Set up camp!" Ning Yuanpei shouted with his eyes fixed.
……
Time passed quickly, and soon it was evening.
In the camp, Ning Yuanpei looked around at the generals and counselors, and said with a serious face, "How is the fire in the city?"
"My lord, the fire has been controlled by them, and the scope is gradually shrinking." Someone replied.
"very good."
Ning Yuanpei sneered, and said: "When they put out the fire and are exhausted, it will be the time for our army to attack the city."
"Pass down the order to start cooking at Haishi, and dispatch the whole army at Zishi to attack Leizhou City at night!"
"As ordered!"
All the generals and all the counselors clasped their fists and accepted the order one after another.
Suddenly, a soldier outside the tent shouted: "My lord, an enemy spy was caught outside the camp. He said his name is Chen Wenyu, and he is the chief envoy of Leizhou. He has been clamoring to see you!"
"Chen Wenyu?"
Ning Yuanpei frowned immediately: "If I remember correctly, he is Li Yuanze's confidant, why did he come to me?"
"My lord, maybe it was Li Yuanze who saw my Qinzhou army approaching the city. He was afraid, so he sent someone to ask for peace."
"Hahaha! I think he came to surrender on behalf of Li Yuanze!"
"This Li Yuan is simply a moron. In Leizhou City, he still has at least [-] defenders, right? And we only have [-] troops. It's not certain who will win the battle! It's boring to admit defeat without even fighting."
A group of military generals and counselors laughed one after another.
However, Ning Yuanpei remained expressionless. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Bring him here!"
"Yes!"
Soon after, Chen Wenyu was brought into the camp.
"Chen Wenyu, I met Master Ning!"
Chen Wenyu was neither humble nor overbearing, with a calm expression on his face, he clasped his fists and said.
"If your prince wants to make peace, then there is no need to speak." Ning Yuanpei said expressionlessly.
"My lord misunderstood."
Chen Wenyu chuckled, and continued: "Although my Leizhou City is not as powerful as your lord, but with the city walls guarding it, it is impossible for your lord's tens of thousands of troops to enter."
"I'm not here to ask for peace, nor for mercy."
"It's my lord, who has something to sell and wants to cooperate with your lord."
After saying these words, Chen Wenyu looked calm, showing no trace of fear.
"Do business with me? Hehe..."
Ning Yuanpei suddenly smiled: "Okay, let Leizhou City out first, and then I will have a personal interview with your prince."
"It seems that adults still have preconceived ideas."
Chen Wenyu shook his head, and said slowly: "Let me tell you the truth! In Leizhou City, there are nearly [-] troops and sufficient food and grass."
"As for your Qinzhou army, although you have an advantage in strength, it is very difficult to supply food and grass."
"Let's put it this way, if you must attack Leizhou City, it won't take a few months and you'll lose [-]% of your troops, it's completely impossible."
Speaking of this, Chen Wenyu changed the subject and said in a deep voice: "Don't you want to know how Ning Qianjun's eight thousand cavalry were defeated?"
Chapter 368: Absurd lie?
"Ok?"
As soon as Chen Wenyu said this, Ning Yuanpei's brows instantly twisted into the word "Chuan".
"General Ning defeated?!"
Hearing this, the complexions of Qinzhou's generals and counselors changed drastically.
But it was only for a moment, and everyone showed ridicule again.
"It's ridiculous to try to deceive us with such a trivial trick!"
"That's right, our general Ning's martial arts skills are world-class, and all of the eight thousand cavalry under his banner are the best of the best. I think you Leizhou are afraid that you won't be able to stop my Qinzhou cavalry, so you came up with this ridiculous plan."
"Hmph! I thought Leizhou would come up with some clever schemes, but I didn't expect it to be this level. I've been looking forward to it for a long time in vain."
Many Qinzhou generals and counselors laughed and ridiculed.
Ning Yuanpei also chuckled, and said slowly: "You're telling me how my second brother was defeated?"
While saying this, there was disdain in his eyes.
It seems that Chen Wenyu's words are not believed at all.
Looking at the expressions of everyone in front of him, Chen Wenyu was surprised.
"Ning Qianjun was defeated and captured, you still don't know the news?"
He was extremely puzzled, he didn't know such a big thing.
What are you doing?
Still fighting like this?
Still coming to attack Leizhou?
They don't have the ability to collect intelligence at all. Is this the only level of the Ning family in Qinzhou?
But it shouldn't be like this!
What exactly went wrong?
