Chapter 742 (1/2)
This event happened seven years ago, and the old man's body was not so strong that he could not even get up his bed. Although they still lived in the mountain temple, the old man went to work in the city to earn money during the day. As for Li Yuanhe, he was still a half boy at that time. He had to hunt and cut firewood in the woods in the suburbs to meet his needs. Compared with Li Yuan and one person supporting their lives later, it was much better.
Li Yuanhe clearly remembered that when he was fishing for fish by the river, he accidentally caught an old turtle. This old turtle is a great tonic. Li Yuan and Dang rushed back to the mountain temple to kill the old turtle, so as to make up for the old man. However, since Li Yuanhe caught the turtle, it had shrunk into its shell and never came out. Li Yuanhe had never slaughtered this thing before. For a while, he couldn't do anything about it. He could only scratch his ears and cheek.
Later, when the old man came back from working in the city, he saw the scene and listened to Li Yuanhe tell the story. The old man immediately laughed. Then he directly picked up the old turtle, came to the campfire which had been prepared early in the morning, put the pot on the bonfire, and then threw the old turtle into the pot. Before long, the old turtle was too hot to bear the fire. Finally, he could only reach out his head and feet, trying to climb out of the hot pot. At this time, the old man suddenly picked up the knife on the ground and killed the old turtle.
Immediately, the old man began to deal with the old turtle and said with a smile to Li Yuanhe, who had been staying at the side, ”see? No matter how hard its shell is, as long as we can force it out, the shell will be useless! ” With that, the old man had dealt with the old turtle completely, leaving only the hard shell on the belly of the old turtle useless. He threw it at Li Yuanhe and hit Li Yuanhe's foot. Li Yuanhe began to jump with his feet in pain, which made the old man laugh.
Recalling the past, Li Yuanhe's eyes brightened. Although the old man didn't teach Li Yuanhe any tactics, he brought inspiration to him. Now the situation of naocheng is very similar to the old turtle in its shell? If it is a frontal battle, the garrison in the city is determined to defeat at least 20000 troops of the other side. However, with the natural geographical advantage of naocheng, it was able to make the Zhou army have no way to start. At the thought of this, Li Yuan and himself couldn't help laughing bitterly. What a pity! They even compared themselves to old turtles, but they lost a lot.
After shaking his head, Li Yuanhe began to narrow his eyes and continue to sketch with the map of stones on the ground. In fact, when Li Yuanhe came to attack naocheng, he didn't think about it. However, at that time, the city of Nao was a whole of its own, and the local bandits controlled the city. Even if Li Yuanhe wanted to lead the snake out of the cave, he could not find any reason. However, it is not the same now. The city of Nao has been under the control of the state of Qin. To the East and south of the city, that is the territory of the state of Qin. If Li Ke led his army around the city and attacked other cities of the state of Qin, the garrison in the city would not be able to sit still.
Li Yuanhe's stone finally stopped at a position on the right side of the city in the map, and a smile appeared in the corner of his mouth. He looked left and right. If Li Ke wanted to lead the snake out of the cave, this was the best place to ambush. Although he had guessed the location of Li Ke's ambush, Li Yuanhe couldn't take Li Ke as an example. What he could do was just not be fooled. If we really go down the mountain to fight with the Zhou army, I'm afraid these 8000 people will not be enough for each other to crack their teeth.
But at last, Li Yuanhe was sure that Li Ke did not dare to give up the attack on Nao city. Otherwise, if he was cut off, all the 20000 odd Zhou troops would die in the houqin state. Li Ke was cautious in his military use all his life, and he would never dare to take such a dangerous move. I believe that if Li Ke found out that his plan was not successful, he would turn around and besiege the city. What Li Yuanhe wanted to do was to keep the city well.
Li Yuanhe immediately breathed a sigh of relief, threw the stone in his hand, stood up and walked directly outside the official residence. Although we have already made a plan to deal with it, Li Yuan and one person are not willing to make a decision. At the very least, we have to discuss with Wang Ye and Liao Dongyuan. If Liao Dongyuan and Ma Huan live in naocheng for a long time, their opinions can't be ignored.
When Li Yuanhe went to look for Wang Ye and other people to discuss, on the border between the state of Dazhou and the state of post Qin 300 Li west of naocheng, a camp with bright lights was built here. If Li Yuan and his scouts are here now, they will find that there are more soldiers and horses in the camp than they found yesterday.
There were 100000 soldiers and horses in Dazhou. In order to attack the Qin state, Zeng Qing decided to allocate 40000 troops from various countries. The remaining 60000 troops were all gathered on the border of the former Tang state and Yan state to prevent the two countries from sneaking attacks. However, the troops were distributed in the cities of the state of Zhou. It took a lot of time to allocate them properly, so they would stay on the border.
