Chapter 89 The Dilemma of Offense and Defense
Shi Jun and Lin Jun surrounded Shandu City, but did not launch an attack. Although Lin Wang was in alliance with Bai Xiao, he was worried that he would attack the city first and let Bai Xiao get a bargain. Of course, Bai Xiao thought so too. Moreover, Bai Xiao’s purpose was not to destroy the Si army, but mainly for his own safety considerations. As long as Si army surrounded Shandu City, he could not come out to attack him.
Seeing that both armies only siege and not attack, it was not a big deal. If the Si army could be eliminated, the eighteen cities occupied by the Hu Kingdom by the Si army would be in the south, and all of them would fall into the hands of the Lin Kingdom. Therefore, Lin was more anxious than Bai Xiao to break through Shandu.
King Lin learned from Qian Xiaoxing's strategy of besieging Shandu last time, and held an alliance meeting to discuss the plan to break Shandu. The meeting was held at the last place. The difference is that the Three Kingdoms became two countries, and the original Si State has now become the target of Shi State and Lin State.
Bai Xiao had something to ask for, so he naturally did not dare to neglect. He arrived at the venue on time and saw King Lin leaning over and said, "Bai Xiao has seen King Lin."
"Haha, Bai Xiao!" Wang Lin said happily: "You did a good job. I usually don't like King Shi's arrogant and domineering appearance. It's so satisfying to kill him."
Bai Xiao said respectfully: "It's good that King Lin is happy. King Shi is too cruel. I just didn't attack Shandu and didn't beat Qian Xiaoxing. He actually wanted to kill me, so I had to do it."
Wang Lin signaled Bai Xiao to sit down and continued, "No poison is not a husband. If you want to accomplish great things, you must be cruel and ruthless. This time, Qian Xiaoxing was surrounded by us in Shandu. This time, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as we break through Shandu, Qian Xiaoxing can't escape even if we want to."
Bai Xiao smiled and said, "Our army only has more than 100,000, and it is still difficult to break the city. It depends on the bravery of the soldiers in Lin Country."
"It will not be difficult for our Lin Jun to destroy Shan Capital. However, after destroying Shan Capital, we have not yet negotiated how to allocate the territory of Hu, so today I asked you to discuss and discuss." Wang Lin laughed.
Bai Xiao thought about it and as long as the Si army did not attack him. Now the alliance between the two countries obviously made the Si army dare not act rashly, so he said: "Since our army attacked Hu, there have been heavy casualties all the way. Originally, only more than half of the 200,000 troops were only fighting, so we are unable to attack Shan this time. As long as Lin State can capture it, I will naturally not intervene to grab the territory, and I will not come to take all the territory of Si State."
After hearing this, King Lin was amused. Now the Three Kingdoms divide the world in three parts. Of course, the most powerful one is Si State. As long as the Si State is destroyed, Bai Xiao will be no problem. King Lin laughed and said, "You know what you think about it. This time Qian Xiaoxing was surrounded in Shandu. My Lin army is responsible for the two gates in the southeast and Shi army is responsible for the two gates in the northwest. But we must be strictly guarded and we cannot let Qian Xiaoxing slip out, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
"Yes, yes!" Bai Xiao replied hurriedly: "As long as you kill Qian Xiaoxing, Si Jun's group of dragons without heads will be a dead snake. Don't be afraid anymore. One of Qian Xiaoxing's wife is King Shi's sister. If I kill King Shi this time, he will definitely seek revenge on me, so I hate Qian Xiaoxing more than King Lin, and I will never let Si Jun escape alone."
Wang Lin nodded and said, "That's great. Even if we cannot break through Shandu, we cannot let Qian Xiaoxing and the others run back to Siguo. We will trap him to death. Let's first agree that no matter what direction the Si army breaks through, we must pursue it with all our might and cannot let them go back."
"Yes, Qian Xiaoxing was so sleepy!" Bai Xiao raised his wine glass happily and said to Wang Lin: "Cheers to our happy cooperation!"
"Cheers!" The two of them had a drink together with laughter. Bai Xiao cursed himself: "King Lin even wants to kill his son-in-law. It's really unbearable for relatives to be, and it's extremely vicious."
King Lin was also thinking that Bai Xiao dared to kill all his master, and his methods were also powerful. Once the Si State was solved, it would be time to deal with you. By then, the whole of China would be named Lin.
The two of them were suspicious of each other. Bai Xiao saw that the conversation was almost done and said, "King Lin, I am busy with military affairs, so I will say goodbye first and notify me immediately if I have any questions."
"Okay, General Bai, oh, I should change my word to call King Bai. Then you can go all the way, I won't send it." King Lin laughed.
Bai Xiao stood up and said goodbye to King Lin and left the valley with his entourage. King Lin watched Bai Xiao leave, but he was extremely happy inside. Seeing King Lin in a good mood, the entourage begged and said, "The emperor is wise. It is really gratifying to have achieved success in this alliance."
Wang Lin said happily: "Bai Xiao thought I would really attack Shandu, so I wouldn't be so stupid. Now the main force of the Si army is in Shandu, and the defense is empty. I have 200,000 troops, as long as I send 150,000 to surrounded Shandu, and another 50,000 can be directly inserted into Siguo. I heard that Siguo Xinghuo City is very rich, but I am very interested."
"King Lin's clever plan is to use Shi's army to help us siege the Si army, and to capture Xinghuo City. Gao, it's really high!" the follower praised.
Wang Lin said conceitably: "This plan is even better than the strategy used by Qian Xiaoxing. Qian Xiaoxing is still a little tender with me."
"Yes, yes, Qian Xiaoxing is the onion. Once the emperor takes action, Qian Xiaoxing will lose and run away in a panic." The follower replied.
Wang Lin laughed and said, "There is an old saying that makes wedding dresses for others. Qian Xiaoxing, I think, is making wedding dresses for me. He immediately ordered 50,000 troops to set off from Shandu and cross the Lanjiang River to penetrate Cangqiong Pass. 50,000 troops were also dispatched in China. Once Cangqiong Pass was opened, he would immediately attack Huju Pass. He would take two steps to fight. I don't believe that I can't fight!"
"I don't think the Si Guo will be able to take care of him, so I will make arrangements immediately!" The follower leaned over and retreated.
King Lin smiled at the sky and said, "The world belongs to my country of Lin!"
On the south gate of Shandu City, Qian Xiaoxing looked at Lin Jun on the periphery with a serious expression. He originally wanted to withdraw from Shandu as soon as possible, but unexpectedly he was surrounded. Now he really doesn't know what to do.
Lu Shengzhong was watching the situation outside the city with a telescope, and was in a heavy mood, saying, "Seventh brother, why don't we break out? We have the Dark Knights and the Undead Legion, so there is no problem to break out!"
"There is no problem to break through, but Brother Zhong, have you ever thought about what if they chase after him? The two countries have more than 300,000 troops. I am afraid that our army will be wiped out before we retreat to Lanjiang after breaking through!" Qian Xiaoxing said worriedly.
Lu Shengzhong said angrily: "This battle is really depressed. When Bai Xiao rebelled, it is really worse than the heavenly conviction. But when we guard Shandu, what should we do if Lin Jun turns to fight Cangqiong Pass?"
"Yes, I'm very worried, but it's surrounded here and cannot be sent out, and we can't detect Lin's movements at all. It's really troublesome." Qian Xiaoxing said helplessly.
Lu Shengzhong thought for a while and said, "Why don't we use hot air balloons to put the scouts out?"
"Yes, why didn't I expect it to go and let it go immediately. If the Lin army does not divide its troops to attack Cangqiong Pass, then we can still slowly attack it, otherwise we can only break through and fight." Qian Xiaoxing replied.
In order not to attract Lin Jun's attention, in the middle of the night, two hot air balloons slowly took off in Shandu City and floated outside. Qian Xiaoxing looked at the hot air balloons that were gradually moving away, praying not to bring back bad news.
Sima Chuchu, who looked at the hot air balloons away, came to Qian Xiaoxing and said, "Qian Xiaoxing, are you still lucky? Do you think King Lin is so stupid and can't divide his troops to fight?"
"It may be a road of no return for the Si Jun, so you cannot take this step unless you have to. The moves of Lin Jun are naturally very critical. Even if Lin Jun has divided his troops, I will confirm it." Qian Xiaoxing replied.
Sima Chuchu smiled and said, "I didn't expect that when Qian Xiaoxing was too powerful, would he have any solutions if my father was here?"
"How do I know!" Qian Xiaoxing said angrily: "I said you don't help me find a way, why are you still talking sarcastic here?"
Sima Chuchu smiled brightly and said, "I can't think of a solution, but someone can think of it, do you want to see him?"
Qian Xiaoxing looked at Sima Chuchu in surprise and asked nervously: "What you said is your father?"
"Fortunately, your brain is not so stupid that you can't even guess this." Sima Chuchu said with a smile.
"Really!" Qian Xiaoxing grabbed Sima Chuchu nervously and asked, "Where is your father? Take me to see him!"
Sima Chuchu replied: "My father didn't want to show up at first, but he was afraid that you would implicate me if you defeated the war, so he could only come out to help you and leave with me."
"Okay, go quickly!" Qian Xiaoxing followed Sima Chuchu quickly and came to a small courtyard. Sima Chuchu knocked on the door and sent out a signal of three long and two shorts. The door opened with a creaking sound. It was an old man, Sima Yiqing's former confidant Mo Bo. When he saw Sima Chuchu, he said, "Miss, you are here. The master has not yet slept, and he is waiting for you."
"Well, thank you for your hard work in Mober." Sima Chuchu took Qian Xiaoxing into the courtyard. Seeing that the room in the main room was still lit, she knocked on the door and said, "Father, I brought Qian Xiaoxing."
"Come in." Sima Yiqing's voice came out.
The two entered the room, and the layout was simple. A candle was placed on the table. Qian Xiaoxing indeed saw Sima Yiqing by the table. When he saw him, he had no expression, but his complexion was pretty good.
"The small one is hidden in the mountains, the big one is hidden in the city. I didn't expect that the people Hu State was looking for were actually under their noses. Sima Yiqing was indeed sophisticated." Qian Xiaoxing sighed.
Sima Yiqing's face darkened and said, "Qian Xiaoxing, are you still calling me a name? Should you change your words?"
Qian Xiaoxing was stunned for a moment, and saw Sima Chuchu blinking at him, then he realized that he came over and replied, "My son-in-law has met his father-in-law."
"Haha," Sima Yiqing smiled happily and said, "Qian Xiaoxing, you are a sensible figure of a generation. I didn't expect Chuchu to marry you, which is her luck."
"My father-in-law has been awarded too much. Compared with you, I am just a new girl." Qian Xiaoxing said modestly.
Sima Yiqing waved his hand and said, "You sit down. The so-called Qianjiang River pushes the previous wave, and the wave is higher than the other wave. This era already belongs to you young people."
After Qian Xiaoxing and Sima Chuchu sat down, Qian Xiaoxing asked anxiously: "Brother-in-law, Chuchu should tell you the current situation of Si Jun. Now I am at a loss. Does my father-in-law have any solutions?"
"I asked Chuchu to call you, so there is a way." Sima Yiqing said with a touch of beard.
