The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 489 The Battle of Shaowu ([-])

Xi Wuliang agreed, but did not leave.

He looked at Zhao Dongting and said, "Your Majesty, since we have all the famous people in the world to help us, why not let them go to Guangze County again?"

"De-gloss? What do you do with de-gloss?"

Zhao Dongting was unable to react.Thousands of Tuotuo troops were guarding Shaowu County, and he was under a lot of pressure in his heart. His whole mind was thinking about how to defend Shaowu, and he was a little overwhelmed.

Xi Wuliang's eyes sparkled slightly, and he said again: "Your Majesty, the Yuan army has taken over the luster, and now their food and grass..."

He purposely did not speak clearly, leaving room for Zhao Dongting.

And if Zhao Dongting still couldn't react now, then it would be in vain for him to work hard on military art all these years.

His pupils narrowed suddenly, and he said, "You mean to let them burn the food and grass of the Yuan army?"

Xi Wuliang bowed, "Your Majesty is wise."

This was obviously his idea, but he completely regarded it as Zhao Dongting's idea.

Undoubtedly, Xi Wuliang is a very qualified courtier.For such a person, as long as he has the opportunity, his success will definitely be a certainty.

It's a pity that Zhao Dongting is really not a "too normal" emperor.Xi Wuliang's cryptic "flattery" was completely ignored by him.

He just nodded slightly and said, "That's a good plan."

As he spoke, he looked at Hong Wutian and others who were still playing cool on the roof.

Xi Wuliang's words really made Zhao Dongting feel enlightened.The originally blocked thoughts were suddenly washed away, like a spring.

Who said that war can only be defended and attacked?
The city must be guarded, but not only to the death.

As for burning food and grass, it is a good plan, but it is not the best policy.

Zhao Dongting waved to Hong Wutian and the others, and nine condescending, high-spirited peerless masters jumped down from the roof.

A group of people walked to the nearby shop that was not on fire.

Zhao Dongting glanced over the crowd, and said: "I have to trouble the four seniors to go to Guangze again. I wonder which four seniors are willing to go?"

He didn't dare to let Hong Wutian and others all go to Guangze County, because without them, Shaowu County would be completely lost in a short while.

Mrs. Xu was the first to say, "Your Majesty is going to copy the Yuan army's retreat and make them give up attacking Shaowu?"

As the leader of the She people, she has led the She people to fight against the Yuan army for many years. She is obviously the most sensitive fighter among the real martial arts powerhouses.

Zhao Dongting smiled lightly and shook his head, "There is no need to cut off their retreat, just break into the city, burn some of their food and grass, and scare them."

"emperor."

Hearing this, Xi Wuliang couldn't help showing doubts, "Why don't you just burn their food and grass?"

"Burning all their food and grass, Shaowu County will really be unable to defend." Zhao Dongting pointed to the outside, "If all the food and grass in Guangguang are burned, then the tens of thousands of troops will become a lone army with no way out, and our Shaowu city is still there. Some grain and grass. They don’t like it now, but what if they know that the shiny grain and grass have been burned?”

Xi Wuliang's face changed slightly.

That's right, he only thought about burning the Yuan army's food and grass, but he didn't think that this would drive the Yuan army to a dead end.

Knowing that Guangguang has no food and grass, the Yuan army will definitely attack Shaowu regardless of the cost, and then plunder the food and grass in the city, and the people in the city will suffer disaster.

Xi Wuliang lowered his head slightly, and said: "The emperor is wise."

Mrs. Xu's eyes sparkled, "What does the emperor mean by asking us to pretend to burn food but fail?"

Zhao Dongting nodded.

Mrs. Xu cupped her hands: "I am willing to go."

She spoke up, and Hong Wutian naturally stood beside her and expressed his opinion.

Immediately after, Tie Liduan and Le Wuwei handed over their hands at the same time, "I'm willing to go too."

The four of them are all from the Great Song Dynasty. Compared with Yuan Zhenzi and others, Kumano, who has just entered Wudingtang, is undoubtedly more active.

Zhao Dongting did not hesitate, and said: "Okay, then the four seniors will go."

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, "After the four seniors broke into Guangming City, they burned some food and grass, so they had to retreat out of the city pretending to be exhausted. Don't forget not to burn all their food and grass. If Shao Wu's side If the Yuan army doesn't want to return to the luster, then I will trouble the four seniors to really burn their food and grass! However, there is no need for the four seniors to risk their lives. If nothing can be done, they will immediately return to Shaowu .”

"Yes!"

The four of Mrs. Xu all surrendered their orders.

Zhao Dongting looked at Yuan Zhenzi, Kumano and the others again, "To guard this Shaowu City, I have to trouble the five of you."

Motomako and the others all nodded with a chuckle, and even Kumano slightly nodded his zombie head.

Although they are all true martial arts experts, their respective statuses are quite good, but Zhao Dongting's kindness to them still makes them quite useful.

Not long after, Mrs. Xu, Hong Wutian, Le Wuhui and Tie Liduan galloped out from Shaowu's west gate and headed towards Guangze County.

And just 10 minutes later, the Yuan army outside the city also made movements. Obviously, the generals had already discussed countermeasures outside the city.

The generals of the Yuan army dare not say now, but most of them were veterans who had been on the battlefield and had rich combat experience.They get together, of course they can think of a way.

It is impossible to use real military generals to block tens of thousands of troops outside Shaowu County.Even if there were more real martial arts experts, it would only delay the Yuan army's capture of Shao Wu.

There are about [-] yuan troops outside the city, divided into dozens of army formations, and heading towards the west, south, and east gates of the city.

For a while, there was a lot of dust outside the city.

Zhao Dongting stood outside the shop with a big wooden umbrella on his head to block the sunlight.

In this era, many shops in the city will put up big umbrellas outside like this.In the past, there were often elderly people playing chess under the umbrella.

Some soldiers came to report in a hurry, saying that the Yuan army was outside the city.

Zhao Dongting and the others changed their colors instantly.

After hearing the report, they naturally understood Yuan Jun's plan.They are going to besiege Shaowu County from all sides.

Although there are many real martial arts in the city, it is obviously impossible to stop the Yuan army from all directions, not to mention that Mrs. Xu and her four have left Shaowu County now.

Xi Wuliang and others all looked at Zhao Dongting, but Zhao Dongting just frowned.

Under such circumstances, even he was somewhat helpless.

After a few minutes, Xi Wuliang said: "Your Majesty, you should leave Shaowu before the Yuan army is encircled!"

He was obviously worried about what accidents would happen to Zhao Dongting in the city.

Regardless of whether his words came from the heart or were deliberately flattering, Zhao Dongting's ears still made people feel comfortable.

He raised his hand, tapped his forehead lightly with his fingers, and said: "It is I who made Guangguang's people gather in Shaowu, how can we abandon them and leave at this time?"

Xi Wuliang showed a slightly anxious look, "But your majesty, Shao Wucheng is probably..."

Zhao Dongting raised his hand, interrupted him, and said: "Lord Xi, immediately arrange two hundred Qingqi to follow me out of the city!"

Xi Wuliang didn't react for a few seconds, and then he was pleasantly surprised, "My minister obeys the order!"

After speaking, he hurriedly ran outside.

He only thought that Zhao Dongting had agreed to leave Shaowu County.

However, when two hundred Qingqi quickly gathered on the street outside the shop and Xi Wuliang ran in, Zhao Dongting said again: "Master Xi, after I rush out of the city gate, I will try my best to attract the Yuan army away. You immediately Start arranging for the people in the city to gather towards the inner city. No matter what, we must stick to it until the news comes from Guangguang!"

Xi Wuliang was a little dazed, and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, are you going out of the city to attract the Yuan army? How did this happen?"

Zhao Dongting said: "Is there anything I can't do? With all the seniors guarding me, are you still worried that something will happen to me?"

As he spoke, he nodded to Yuan Zhenzi and the others, and walked towards the street.

mount.

Waved.

"Everyone follow me out of the city!"

Yuan Zhenzi, Kumano, five people and two hundred Qingqi followed Zhao Dongting and headed straight for the east gate.

At this time, the Yuan army outside the city was still mobilizing and failed to encircle the entire Shaowu County.

About a quarter of an hour has passed.

The east gate of Shaowu County was slowly opened, and amidst the creaking sound, the suspension bridge fell across the moat.

The figure of Zhao Dongting appeared in the gate, slapped his horse with a whip, and was the first to leave the city.
