Perhaps it was because the encounter with Brother Li, who was very touched by Tang, and was notorious and dared to call himself a tycoon, Li began to take new actions.

He did not want to rashly siege the Suzhou City, which Tang Pidd personally guarded, so after March, he recruited a lot of people again and prepared to march to Jingzhou for the second time.

At this time, Brother Li probably understood that he was not very sure of attacking the Ning army. Suzhou City was tall and strong, and the Ning army was not so small. He would suffer heavy losses under the fierce attack.

That day, the king of fate, Yang Xuanji, retreated back to Shuzhou in a panic, which gave Brother Li a chance to take advantage of.

After all, in the important area of ​​Jingzhou, Prince Wu is short of soldiers, horses, food and grass, and there is no Ning Jun and Tianming Jun fighting with Brother Li, which is indeed the best time.

But what Brother Li is most afraid of is that Tang Pidian again seized his retreat when he attacked Jingzhou, so he had to leave enough troops to guard against him.

Thinking of these, he was in trouble with how many soldiers and horses were left behind and who they left.

If he stayed less, he could not defeat Tang Pi. If he stayed more, he would not be able to fight in Jingzhou.

Although he knew that the Ning army did not have too many troops in Suzhou City, this kind of worry would not disappear because the Ning army had fewer troops than him.

Just as he was hesitating, who could be the one who was left behind, Tang Pidian sent someone to send him a letter.

Brother Li opened the letter, but he didn't recognize a few words and handed it to the counselors around him.

"Tang Pidi... Could it be that this is a trick?"

The adviser said, "He said that he had guessed that the king was going to send troops to Jingzhou, so he wrote a letter to tell the king that he would not attack Suzhou City for four months before the king, and that he would not attack us within four months after the king sent troops."

Brother Li was stunned after hearing this, and then laughed.

He asked the adviser: "What kind of conspiracy do you think is Tang Pidian?"

The adviser said, "This person has always been cunning and cannot be trusted."

Brother Li said, "What's wrong with believing him? You think he is treacherous, but I think he keeps his promise. So when going to war, there is no need to worry about what Ning Jun will do. Tang Piddi said four months, then it must be four months."

In fact, everyone under his command did not dare to believe Tang Pidian's words, and always felt that such a person who led the army would be cunning.

But Brother Li was really relieved, dispatched his troops steadily, selected a general, left him 200,000 troops, and told him to just defend the enemy and not be allowed to fight. If he dared to take the initiative to fight, he would immediately chop him down and then lead the army to fight again.

Tang Pidian rejected Brother Li's proposal, so Brother Li was so anxious.

He wanted to take advantage of the fact that King Ning Li Chi could not take action and take over Jingzhou as soon as possible. After taking over Jingzhou, he still owns Yangzhou and Yuezhou, so he can firmly sit in Jiangnan.

Shuzhou has its disadvantages. If the journey to march into the Central Plains is long and the mountain road is difficult to move forward, even if Shuzhou is out, if Daxing City is already in the hands of Brother Li, how could Yang Xuanji easily break it?

So as long as you take down Jingzhou as soon as possible and seize the capital of Da Chu, whether Ning Wang Li Chi agrees or not, the situation of governing the north and south can take shape.

At that time, Brother Li only needs to divide his troops in Chihe to defend, block Ning's army from moving south, and then use most of his strength to attack Yang Xuanji.

Even if Yang Xuanji's Tianming Army cannot be wiped out, he can force the Tianming Army to retreat back to Shuzhou and dare not go out lightly.

Then seize Jingzhou and Liangzhou. This situation of two-part division in the world can be a foregone conclusion. Will Li Chi agree or not?

Although Brother Li is illiterate and has never read a book, if he is not good at using his brain, how could he achieve such success now?

This person has an excellent overall view.

Sometimes, knowledge does not equal character, and sometimes, knowledge does not equal ability.

However, if Brother Li was knowledgeable, he would definitely be much greater than what he has achieved now.

Suzhou City.

Luo Jing smiled and said, "Brother Li knows that you are aware of your words, so he will spend these four months to attack Jingzhou. Although his ability to lead troops is far less than that of the old man Yang Jiju, he does not lack food and grass and has many soldiers and horses. It is hard to say that the old man will really be taken advantage of by Brother Li."

Tang Pidian said: "If you estimate Prince Wu like this, it will be difficult for you to take revenge in the future."

Luo Jing said, "I just hope that the old man will suffer a loss, but I don't expect that he will die at the hands of Brother Li. It would be better for me to cut off the old man's head."

Tang Pidian sighed: "In the future, when we attack Jingzhou, you must not be impatient. If you are not careful, you will be defeated when dealing with people like Prince Wu. You must be 100% sure before you can take action."

Luo Jing nodded: "I know... I'm scolding me like this again, like my mother."

Tang Pidian said: "You kid is worried and worried about your mother."

Luo Jing: "Ph!"

Tang Pidian smiled and said, "Brother Li Hu can't conquer Jingzhou. Even if Yang Jiju lacks soldiers and food, Brother Li Hu will definitely wear off some of Yang Jiju's strength, or even half of it."

Luo Jing certainly understood Tang Pidian's intention.

His arrangements not only gave Li Brother Hu a favor, but also allowed Li Brother Hu and Yang Jiju to fight for both losses. After the black warrior retreated, the main force of the Ning army went south and Jingzhou was at his fingertips.

"Brother Li Hu wants to use these months. Now I'll give you something, and you have to use these months."

Tang Pidian said: "You go and recruit new recruits. A few months will be enough for us to replenish the troops."

Luo Jing nodded: "I understand."

Not only in Suzhou City, but also in Yuzhou, Zhuang Wudi is also recruiting troops.

He was ordered to lead his army back to Yuzhou to garrison, leading an army of more than 100,000, but he didn't want these more than 100,000 people to waste time in Yuzhou in vain.

He planned to leave half of his troops and send the other half to northern Xinjiang to support him, and then recruit new recruits for training.

It will be easier to train with new recruits and veterans.

In Jingzhou, Xie Huainan was recruiting troops. In fact, everyone knew that after King Ning defeated the black warrior, the decisive battle to seize the world would be about to begin.

Therefore, we must take advantage of this period of time to expand our military strength. On the day of Ning King’s return, there were countless heroic soldiers here.

Northern Xinjiang.

In mid-April, Li Chi and the Tingwei Army hurried to Beishan Pass. When they arrived, the black warriors had not yet begun to attack the city.

This seems to be a little wrong. He stationed a million troops but was not in a hurry to attack. The daily food and grass consumption was so huge that Ye Fulie, as a general who led his troops for half his life, could not have thought of these.

If he doesn't do anything, he must be waiting for something.

"Yifuli uses his troops calmly and cautiously, and never fights unsure."

Xiahou Zhuo looked at Li Chi: "I suspect that the weapon he used to use to attack the city may be because of its huge number or because of its huge size, so it is not easy to transport it."

Li Chi nodded: "It's probably that."

Xiahou Zhuo asked: "Can it be a stone throwing cart?"

Li Chi said: "The black warriors have countless secret spies in the Central Plains, and they will know about throwing stone chariots, so whether they have them or not, they should be treated as if they have it."

Li Chi said to Xiahou Zhuo: "Give me instructions to cut down as many trees as possible and transport them up. At least trees above the thighs should be at least not cut down if they are too small."

Xiahou Zhuo pondered for a moment and then understood what Li Chi meant. Hanging the wood outside the city wall could prevent the damage of the stone-throwing cart from the city wall. Even if it could not be completely blocked, it would be a good thing to block 700 to 80%.

So Xiahouzhuo immediately dispatched troops to cut down trees, dig holes in the trunks, pass through the iron chains, and hang them vertically on the city wall.

On the other side of the Black Martial Arts Camp, Ye Fulie held his eyes wide open and observed Ning Jun's actions, so the old general's face became a little unfair.

What he was waiting for was indeed a stone throwing cart.

Heiwu already knew clearly about Ning Jun's use of a stone throwing cart to fight the enemy. They did not get the construction drawings of the stone throwing cart, but they gathered many skilled craftsmen to explain the function and shape of the stone throwing cart clearly, and these craftsmen gathered their ideas and made them.

Moreover, the stone throwing cart built by the Black Warriors was extremely huge.

Because of this, transportation is extremely difficult, and Yefulie has waited for so long.

The city of Beishan Pass was solid, and there were no stone throwing cars before. The Black Martial Army had never broken through fierce attacks over the years, so of course, Yefulie should be cautious.

This time, His Majesty the Black Martial Khan gave him all his expectations, and he did not dare to use troops without caution.

In the past, the black warrior army went south and pursued speed. Before the battle started, they had already thought about how many days they had taken the border, how many days they had captured Jizhou, and how many days they had won the Central Plains.

That is just a foolish dream, in the words of the Central Plains, it is called "paper talk".

The previous few times he went south, Ye Fulie had retired and recuperated at home and did not participate. His several defeats also made Emperor Heiwu Khan understand that without a calm leader, the matter of going south was ultimately a mirror and water moon.

"General."

His men also saw Ning Jun hanging wood on the city wall and couldn't help but ask: "Will they be able to defend against our Moon God Cannon when they do this?"

The Black Martial Arts people respect the Moon God, especially the tribesmen of the Eight Black Martial Arts tribes, who regard themselves as the Moon God’s people, so they created such a powerful thing, so they named it with the word Moon God.

"They want to use wood to block the huge rocks from breaking the city wall. This will inevitably be useful, but everything has its pros and cons. If the wood is hung outside the city, we can also use it."

Yefulie turned around and returned to the military tent: "Come and take the paper and pen. I want to draw something. You send the drawings to the baggage camp and let them build it as soon as possible."

Beishan Pass.

Li Chi leaned against the city wall and looked at the pipe hanging on Xiahou Zhuo's belt, reached out to take it off, and then threw it outside the city with a swing of his hand.

Xiahou Zhuo: "Are you sick..."

Li Chi said: "I'm not old, I'm holding a pipe in my mouth and I look old, it's not good or bad."

Xiahou Zhuo: "My pipe is valuable, and the cigarette holder is a golden one! It's golden one!"

Li Chi immediately said, "Come on, put me down with the rope."

He gave Xiahou Zhuo a blank look: "It's so extravagant!"

Xiahou Zhuo: "How can I rob it from the war?"

Li Chi actually tied a rope to the battlement, and his subordinates wanted to go down, but Li Chi refused and climbed down to pick up the pipe.

While climbing back along the rope, Li Chi suddenly stopped.

He looked up at the ropes he was holding in his hand, and then at the wood hanging outside the city wall, his eyes wafting.

Xiahou Zhuo looked down and said, "Why haven't you come up yet?"
