"100,000 rations?" Yin Shisan frowned slightly when he saw the number.
It wasn't that he didn't know how many people Xun Xiang had under him. Five thousand!
A mere 5,000 troops needed 100,000 rations?
"Zhongjian!"
Yin Shisan shouted. Zhang Zhongjian walked in from outside and said unhappily," What are you doing?”
Although Yin Shisan was slightly better than Zhang Zhongjian in terms of " intelligence ", he knew very well that ten of him were no match for Zhang Zhongjian in terms of martial strength. Therefore, the relationship between the two was still very subtle.
Besides the two of them, there was also a minor who was reporting the matter. Yin Shisan called him out before handing the secret letter to Zhang Zhongjian." Take a look. What do you think?"”
Zhang Zhongjian took the letter and glanced at it. He said in a low voice,""The troops have not moved yet. Sending 100,000 rations to 5,000 people means that reinforcements are coming.”
Yin Shisan nodded. His thoughts coincided with Zhang Zhongjian's." It seems that Liu Wuzhou intends to use Jiexiu as a boundary to fight to the death with the Tang army.”
The valley outside Jiexiu City was like a natural moat. With such a favorable geographical advantage, not to mention Liu Wuzhou, even Yin Shisan would send reinforcements to use it as a steel wall to fight the enemy to the death.
"What do you plan to do?" Zhang Zhongjian put the secret letter on the table in front of Yin Shisan and looked at him quietly.
"Go and meet Cheng Yaojin. Together with him, rob the 100,000 rations that Yuchi Jingde was escorting!”
Yin Shisan estimated that Yuchi Jingde would only bring five to ten thousand soldiers to escort the provisions, while Cheng Yaojin's six armies added up to twelve thousand men, so they had an absolute advantage in numbers. Now, with Zhang Zhongjian to stop Yuchi Gong, there would be no mistake in robbing the 100,000 rations.
"I can kill Yuchi Gong for you!”Zhang Zhongjian said coldly.
The fact that he could say such words meant that he was completely confident.
In fact, Yin Shisan knew very well that with Zhang Zhongjian's strength, unless Li Yuanba, Yuwen Cheng, Pei Yuanqing, Xiong Kuohai, Wu Yunzhao, Wu Tianxi, and the others were reborn, no one in this world would be a match for him.
But Yin Shisan didn't want Yuchi Gong to die. Yuchi Gong was destined to be the founding minister of the Great Tang. Yin Shisan wanted to subdue him and make him work for him.
"If we keep him alive, there will be benefits in the future.”
"Humph!"
Zhang Zhongjian was a great hero, but he despised Yin Shisan's greedy appearance the most. He snorted coldly, lifted the curtain, and rushed out.
"Giddyup!"
Soon, the sound of horses galloping could be heard. Yin Shisan knew that Zhang Zhongjian had gone to find Cheng Yaojin.
Yin Shisan shook his head helplessly and said with a bitter smile,""You're just and upright."
……
……
The Gourd Valley was the only way to transport grain from Taiyuan City to Jiexiu City.
"Everyone, be careful!"
From the moment they entered the valley, Yuchi Jingde had been staring at the two sides of the valley with a serious expression, ready to be ambushed at any time. However, contrary to his expectations, there was no movement inside or outside the valley.
Yuchi Jingde recalled the military report from before, saying that Cheng Yaojin had already killed his way to Jie Xiu's side and was stationed thirty miles away. It seemed that this news was indeed false.
" Cheng Yaojin is a good-for-nothing. Even if he was given 100,000 soldiers to leave Baibi Pass, he might not be able to reach Jiexiu City so quickly, not to mention that he only brought 12,000 soldiers. Humph, trash. The Tang army is all trash!"”
Seeing that the exit of the Gourd Valley was right in front of him, Yuchi Jingde gradually relaxed. However, he still turned around and instructed the six thousand soldiers escorting the provisions behind him to hurry up. After passing the Gourd Valley, they would reach the stream valley after another stretch of road.
"Everyone can rest then.”Yuchi Jingde raised his arm and shouted.
"Good!" The 6,000 soldiers were also very happy when they heard this. They thought that from this moment on, nothing would happen.
The grain convoy arrived at the entrance of the Gourd Valley. The road here suddenly shrank, allowing only one grain truck to pass through.
Yuchi Gong frowned slightly. He first led two hundred men out of the valley and set up a defensive circle outside. Then, he let the people behind push the carts, one after another, and passed through at the fastest speed.
At first, the surroundings were peaceful. However, when half of the grain trucks had left the valley, a gong sounded from the right side of the mountain. A team suddenly charged out.
Bang!
At this moment, the sound of artillery fire rang out from the forest on the left. The second team also rushed out, and in the blink of an eye, they were already in front of Yuchi Gong.
"Yuchi Gong, where are you going? Put down the rations and I'll spare your life!”
At the front was Cheng Yaojin. He brandished his mountain axe and let out a strange cry. He was like a ferocious tiger that had descended the mountain as he charged straight at Yuchi Gong.
"Humph!"
Yuchi Gong snorted coldly and charged forward with his spear. He wanted to kill Cheng Yaojin with one shot to intimidate the Tang army, but he did not expect Cheng Yaojin to be so strong that he bent the iron spear in his hand with one swing of his axe.
Swoosh!
Yuchi Gong was shocked. He threw away the iron spear and took out the single whip hanging on the side of the horse. He raised the whip and struck.
Cheng Yaojin chuckled." I was digging your ears just now. This time, I'll let you have a taste of digging your eyes!"”
Bang!
As he spoke, Cheng Yaojin raised his Mountain Breaker Axe into the air and headed straight for Yuchi Gong's face.
"You!"
Yuchi Gong was stunned. His whip was aimed at Cheng Yaojin's chest. Logically speaking, Cheng Yaojin should be defending, but this shameless person actually ignored it and raised his axe to chop at his head. This was clearly a suicidal fighting style.
According to Cheng Yaojin's plan, if Yuchi Gong's whip hit his chest, he would at most be seriously injured, but if his axe fell, Yuchi Gong's head would be gone.
Yuchi Gong wasn't stupid, so he naturally wouldn't continue attacking.
Whoosh!
Yuchi Gong cursed Cheng Yaojin for being a bastard. He hurriedly pulled the reins of his horse and leaned back. He held his breath and used his whip to block Cheng Yaojin's axe.
Yuchi Gong had already prepared himself for the whip to be broken, but he didn't expect that when Cheng Yaojin's axe came down, the whip and axe collided, but the two weapons were actually undamaged.
"Hmm?"
And Yuchi Gong noticed a problem. The strength of Cheng Yaojin's axe was much weaker than before.
"Good job, Cheng Yaojin!" Yuchi Gong shouted," I didn't believe it when I said that you only know how to use three axes. I didn't expect it to be true. Look at the whip!”
Speaking of this, Yuchi Gong's courage grew, and he threw himself at Cheng Yaojin.
"I, Old Cheng, can't beat you. I'm leaving!”
Cheng Yaojin wasn't stupid. The second chop didn't do anything to Yuchi Gong, so he knew that the third chop would definitely be useless. Thus, he said this and turned his horse to run.
"You f * cking…"
Yuchi Gong was burning with anger. He had led the army to war for so long, but he had never seen such a shameless thing.
"Cheng, don't run! Today, Yuchi Gong will sacrifice your head to the flag!”
Yuchi Gong chased Cheng Yaojin closely from behind and watched him rush into the valley.
Right at this moment, a rider leaped out from the side. The rider held a long saber in his hand, and his expression was cold. The saber went straight for Yuchi Gong's horse's head.
