I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Wu Youdao hurried out of the city and hurried all the way to the place where the military camp was stationed. Back in the barracks, Zou Yi greeted him before he was in the camp.

Zou Yi was curious, and the impatient asked: “Prime Minister, what’s the situation?”

Wu Youdao said: “What else is going on, naturally Du Qi is not happy. I said the army Coming from the southern country, the journey has not been easy. Nowadays, there is a shortage of food, equipment, and soldiers’ wages. However, Du Qi only gave 30,000 shi of food to let us return to the southern country. He also said that if we want to attack the rest of the fire country, we will all supply it by ourselves. Du Qi This is deliberate, and we are so tyrannical after taking it for granted.”

Zou Yi is also a gloomy face immediately.

I looked very unhappy.

Du Qi is too arrogant. He captured Guangyin County and the capital of the Fire Country. He obtained countless money and food. In the end, he couldn’t bear even the slightest amount of money. Even so stingy. Humiliation to the soldiers of the South.

Zou Yi said solemnly: “This matter must not be forgotten. Otherwise, how can we explain to the thousands of people in the southern country, and how can we go back and explain to the king?”

Wu Youdao’s heart burst upon hearing Zou Yi’s words.

It is definitely wrong to start a war.

Now fighting with Du Qi is a matter of both sides suffer. Wuyoudao does not agree.

Wu Youdao reminded: “General Zou, we cannot go to war at will. We are impulsive at this time, so in the end, instead, we will fall into a difficult situation, which is inappropriate.”

Zou Yi said: “I know this point of measure.”

He and Wu Youdao rushed together and returned to the Chinese Army’s tent together and sat down.

Zou Yi’s eyes were fierce, and he said, “Prime Minister, there must be a result for the matter at this time. If this is the case, I am not convinced. I can’t just leave it alone.”

Wu Youdao said solemnly: “Under the current situation, what do you plan to do? Du Qi has retreated into the city of Guangyin County. The Four-sided City gate of Guangyin County is all under Du Qi’s control. Under such circumstances, if we really want to go to war, we are also in a disadvantageous position. After all, we will suffer a considerable loss if we storm Guangyin County.”

Zou Yi said: “The prime minister, You asked me to find a way. I can’t think of anything for the time being. However, I am not reconciled and cannot just be bullied by Du Qi. You are a wise man, you are good at making suggestions, you can find a plan for this time. “

Wu Youdao smiled bitterly.

Zou Yi really gave him a problem.

In other words, Zou Yi is actually looking for a retreat. After all, they have taken a big loss this time by shooting themselves in the foot. They have to find a way to relieve their embarrassment.

Wu Youdao thought carefully.

After a while, Wu Youdao added a smile on his face, saying: “I have an idea, but I don’t know, is it feasible?”

Zou Yi said: “What do you think?”

Wu Youdao seriously said: “This time, let’s ask Du Qi to enter into a gambling agreement. Let’s compete with Du Qi’s people, starting from the generals. , Then to the accuracy of the artillery, and the final contest of the soldiers. These three contests are one after another. In this way, three games are two wins. As long as we win, Du Qi will give out a lot of money, Food and armor. In this way, we retreat by ourselves and attack other places. If we lose, we also retreat by ourselves.”

Zou Yi heard this with a touch of anticipation on his face and smiled. : “Yes, yes, this is a good suggestion. Prime Minister, you are worthy of being a wise man, this brain is really amazing.”

Wu Youdao shook the head and said: “Although I have made comments like this, but , I don’t know whether it will succeed in the end. What if Du Qi refuses directly? Du Qi is very strong and difficult to deal with.”

Zou Yi laughed, expressing confidence , Even more powerfully said: “If Du Qi is unwilling, then we will attack. I don’t believe it, Du Qi dares to bear such a price.” U Youdao disagrees with Zou Yi’s attitude and said: “General Zou, don’t be impulsive. Once impulsive, it is easy to cause all kinds of problems. In short, don’t worry, because once a war starts, we may eventually suffer. It will even further affect the relationship between the two countries. Although the current situation There are some frictions and some problems between the two sides, but in general, it does not affect the alliance between the two sides.”

Zou Yi said: “The prime minister can rest assured, I know what to do and what not to do. Just this one. I can’t swallow it. Du Qi is really bully intolerably.”

Wu Youdao said: “Okay, tomorrow morning, I will see Du Qi again, and see what Du Qi says, today. Don’t go. Otherwise, it’s a bit like catching a duck on the shelf.”

Zou Yi said: “Prime Minister, I think I should go again now.”

Uh Youdao doubted: ” What do you mean?”

Zou Yi said: “Because the lieutenant soldiers were dissatisfied, you went again immediately. If you go again tomorrow morning, what’s the point? Instead, it makes Du Qi think , We did it deliberately, it was a strategy that we thought about. So I think it’s to shoot now.” After Wu Youdao heard it, he carefully pondered it, and finally nodded: “OK, Just follow what General Zou said.”

He set off immediately and left the camp.

Wu Youdao entered the city again, and after arriving in the city, he went straight to the palace. He entered the palace, saw Du Qi, and bowed again to salute Du Qi: “King Xia.”

Du Qi said, “Prince Wu entered the city again to see me, but what’s the matter? Yes, I am going to take away 30,000 stones of grain. Don’t worry, I’m ready. If you want to take it away, even if you arrange for the soldiers to come.”

Wuyou Dao cheeks twitched.

Du Qi is really a grudge. Previously, he had some contradictions with Du Qi that’s all. Now when Du Qi speaks, he is somewhat eccentric, which sounds uncomfortable.

Wu Youdao’s face is solemn, said solemnly: “I came to see His Highness this time, to make a gambling agreement with King Xia. I don’t know, can King Xia dare to respond?”

Du Qi asked: “What kind of gambling?”

Wu Youdao said: “Xia Wang and my southern country will compete in three rounds and two wins. In the first round, we will compete against the strength of the generals. Will; in the second round, the strength of the weapons is contested, and the two sides will send artillery to compare the strength of the artillery shelling; in the third round, each will send a team to fight on the battlefield.”

“If Xia The king’s side won the victory. The soldiers of our southern country, without saying anything, directly mobilized and retreated, and attacked the rest of the place by themselves, and no longer asked King Xia to share any benefits.”

“If it were us One side has won, then King Xia needs to take out a part of Chen Can’s money and food and distribute it to our southern country to ensure that we can also get a share of the pie.” U Youdao looked towards Du Qi, There was hope in his eyes, and he said, “I don’t know about King Xia, can you dare to give it a try?”

When Du Qi heard this, he suddenly laughed.

Wu Youdao asked: “Why does King Xia laugh?”

Du Qi said: “This king smiles, you Wu Youdao is the prime minister of the southern country anyway, this go back on The one’s word thing is really handy. Obviously you set the jump, whoever wins the county seat, then everything belongs to who owns.”

“But in the end, you are If you regret it, you have to bet with this king.”

“The most ridiculous thing is that you bet that you win and take advantage of it. If you lose, you don’t need to pay anything, you just need to withdraw. Such a bet, This way of being a man and doing things makes people disagree.”

“Nanguo, only this.”

Du Qi’s eyes were extremely sharp, and he said, “Nothing is true, you say What the king said, right?”

Wu Youdao’s face is also a little hot.

He has always been known for his faith.

But this time, in front of Du Qi, I lost my face. Even for the sake of profit, he gave up his old face and didn’t pay attention to the rules and faith at all. It was really a bit uncomfortable.

It can involve the interests of the southern country, and you can’t ignore it. You can only don’t want your own face. He reluctantly smiled and said: “Xia Wang, dare to fight?”

Du Qi said: “Although this king is disappointed in your southern country and a little disappointed in you, but I am fearless. You have to fight, and this king will stay with you to the end.”

And the battle is simply tailor-made for Du Qi.

Du Qi is enough to win easily.

Can even crush the opponent.

So Wu Youdao took the initiative to fight, which is equivalent to sending his face to Du Qi. Du Qi will not miss it. And through this matter, you can beat the army of the southern country.

When Wu Youdao saw Du Qi respond, his heart was finally sighed in relief, so he left his hand.

Next, I have to go back and prepare.

Prepare for tomorrow’s battle.
