    The fire burned fiercely.

    Fires were burning everywhere, and the entire camp was filled with heat waves.

    Wang Qi stopped fighting at this time. He led his soldiers to withdraw from the camp. He no longer lingered and directly ordered the withdrawal.  He had to return to Zicheng quickly and tell Lu Shengqi the news.

    Let Lu Shengqi prepare for the next decisive battle.

    It was still dark, and the army led by Wang Qi had already rushed back to Linzi.  At this time, Wang Qi can be sure that the news from Jiu Shan Ridge has not reached Cheng Mao yet.

    After all, it was a night attack that happened at night.

    As soon as the news of Wang Qi's return reached Lu Shengqi's ears, he came out to greet him in person. Seeing Wang Qi entering in a dusty state, Lu Shengqi took Wang Qi back to the military camp in the city.

    In the camp, Lu Shengqi did not rush to ask for news. Instead, he asked someone to bring a pot of hot wine, filled it for Wang Qi himself, and said, "Mr. Wang, this is warm hot wine. Let's drink a glass of wine first."  ."

    Wang Qi smiled and said, "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief."

    He took the wine bottle and drank it in one gulp.  Not to mention, the cold weather, a glass of hot wine, warmed up the whole body, and was no longer as cold as before.

    Lu Shengqi then sat down with Wang Qi and asked, "Sir, how was the night attack at night?"

    Wang Qi said: "Commander, attacking Cheng Mao's camp will not have much effect. After all, it is just a raid."

    Lu Shengqi said: "It doesn't matter, this is only the first day."

    With Wang Qi here, Lu Shengqi felt that he had a backbone and that he could turn the situation around.

    Hearing Wang Qi¡¯s words, he didn¡¯t feel any disappointment.

    Wang Qi smiled and continued: "Commander, although we did not gain much from attacking Cheng Mao's camp. But this time, we quietly rushed to the rear of Cheng Mao's camp, nearly ten miles away from the Jiu Mountain Ridge, and a handful of  The fire burned his 200,000 shi of food. Today, Cheng Mao only has four days of food left in the camp. Next, Cheng Mao will run out of food."

    "Seriously?"

    After Lu Shengqi heard this, he stood up suddenly, his face full of shock and disbelief.

    Wang Qi was surprised.

    Unexpectedly, Wang Qi found Cheng Mao's food and grass and completely burned it.

    This is a big gain.

    Wang Qi nodded and said with a smile: "Last night, I sneaked into Cheng Mao's military camp and found out about the granary. That's why I went directly to Jiu Shan Ridge. Commander, now that Cheng Mao has no food and grass, the opportunity will come."

    Lu Shengqi said: "The opportunity has indeed come."

    Zhu Yumin also looked excited and said: "Commander, in my opinion, now is an excellent opportunity to take the initiative. As soon as the news reached Cheng Mao's ears, Cheng Mao's food and grass were cut off, and he could only retreat. Now, we should  Take advantage of the victory and pursue it.¡±

    He Peiqi said: "The commander-in-chief and the humble one also seconded the proposal. We and Cheng Mao have been maintaining a deadlock. Now, we have seized the opportunity to attack. Now that the opportunity has arisen, it is time to fight. With one go, we will completely destroy Cheng Mao's camp and defeat  other side."

    Both Zhu Yumin and He Peiqi became excited.

    The opportunity has come.

    Their chance to defeat Cheng Mao came.

    Lu Shengqi was quite excited when he heard Zhu Yumin and He Peiqi's persuasion, and even the look on his face turned red with excitement.  However, Lu Shengqi was not anxious. He turned to look at Wang Qi.

    Lu Shengqi looked like a polite corporal and asked: "Mr. Wang, what do you think we should do?"

    He trusts Wang Qi more.

    Because Wang Qi is obviously more powerful than Zhu Yumin and He Peiqi.

    Wang Qi smiled slightly and replied: "General, I hold the opposite opinion."

    Lu Shengqi asked: "What do you mean?"

    Wang Qi said: "I think we should not pursue. Even now, what we have to do is to consider attacking Cheng Mao on the basis of defense. Because next, I think Cheng Mao will not retreat, but will take the initiative to attack Linzi. He will  put all one's eggs in one basket."

    Zhu Yumin said: "Mr. Wang, that's not the case."

    He Peiqi said: "Why?"

    Lu Shengqi also nodded and asked: "Mr. Wang, I am also confused. Cheng Mao's army has lost food and grass. One hundred thousand people are short of food and grass, and the army may even mutiny. At this time, why didn't Cheng Mao retreat?  Are you going to attack?"

    Wang Qi smiled and said: "Commander, the reason is actually very simple."

    &nbsp"Lu Shengqi said: "How to say?"

    Wang Qi explained: "The imperial court has always been extremely concerned about the situation in Qingzhou. This time, the imperial court gave Cheng Mao strong support and entrusted Cheng Mao with full authority to handle the affairs of Qingzhou."

    "However, Cheng Mao failed."

    "As soon as the news reaches Chang'an, the government and the public will be shocked. If you suffer a defeat, you will definitely need someone to take the blame and give an explanation to the court, the world, and the people."

    "So Cheng Mao will definitely be accused by the court if he withdraws his troops. Based on this alone, I conclude that Cheng Mao will make a desperate move next. After all, Cheng Mao still has food for a few days."

    Wang Qi said: "As long as during this period, Cheng Mao breaks Linzi and defeats the commander-in-chief, even though he has lost food and grass, everything will be different and he will not be accused."

    "Cheng Mao can still obtain food and grass after defeating Linzi, and the army will not be in chaos."

    "On the other hand, even if Cheng Mao suffered another defeat, the situation of his retreat would be the same as if he led his troops to retreat now. Although he would lose soldiers, it would still be the same for him."

    "So, I conclude that Cheng Mao will choose to make a desperate move."

    Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "It is impossible for Cheng Mao to just withdraw his troops and go back to accept his guilt just because the grain and grass were burned."

    Lu Shengqi¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard this.

    He stroked the beard under his chin and praised: "Mr. Wang's analysis is indeed reasonable. I agree."

    Zhu Yumin thought for a while and said: "I made the problem simple. I'm afraid Cheng Mao now wants us to attack. Then he can settle the war in one battle."

    He Peiqi said: "Thank you, Mr. Wang!"

    Wang Qi smiled and said: "Commander, since you all agree with my current analysis. Next, we will make arrangements based on this analysis. Of course, we must also be prepared for emergencies. If Cheng Mao really withdraws his troops directly, we can pursue him. I  The following suggestions are as follows"

    Immediately, Wang Qi elaborated on the follow-up arrangements.

    After Lu Shengqi listened, he nodded hurriedly.  He did not ask Zhu Yumin or He Peiqi for their opinions, but immediately called the soldiers around him to make arrangements immediately.

    Make the layout according to Wang Qi¡¯s suggestion.

    Waiting for Cheng Mao to attack.

    After Lu Shengqi arranged everything, time passed, and at dawn, the news that the Jiushanling granary was burned also reached the imperial camp of Cheng Mao.

    Cheng Mao was immediately stunned when he received the news that the granary was burned down.

    How can it be?

    The granary is in Jiushanling. This is a secret. How could the information be exposed?

    ??Even, Li Guangli is dead.

    The granary was also burned.

    Cheng Mao suddenly panicked in his heart.  Last night, Lu Shengqi's people harassed the camp, but he didn't take it to heart at all and didn't take it seriously.

    As long as his army is there and there is sufficient food, even if Lu Shengqi changes his strategy and becomes different.  But Cheng Mao still had the advantage.

    Cheng Mao did not expect that the situation would suddenly change after one night.

    "Here comes someone!"

    Cheng Mao immediately gave the order.

    The soldiers entered and bowed.

    Cheng Mao ordered: "Go and notify Zeng Tong immediately. We have important matters to discuss."

    "yes!"

    The soldiers immediately went to deliver the order.

    Cheng Mao paced back and forth in the camp with his hands behind his back, a slight look of panic on his face.  There is only about four days' worth of food in the military camp. Only about four days' worth of military rations is really too little.

    Once the news comes out, the army may mutiny.

    This is what Cheng Mao wants to solve.

    It didn¡¯t take long and the soldiers came back.  But there was a strong look of panic on the soldier's face, and he said: "General, something bad has happened. The military advisor is dead."

    "What?"

    Cheng Mao couldn't help but exclaimed.

    He couldn't bear it anymore and hurried out of the camp and went to Zeng Tong's camp.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
