Chapter 387: Siege of Wei and Zhao Zhao

"General Qiu is indeed a great talent in governing the world. It seems that both strategy and civil governance will not be difficult for our General Qiu. Don't worry, wait until I will write a letter to Khan. I believe Khan will definitely use such a talented and ambitious man like General Qiu. Ω Biqu    』 Pavilion"

"Thank you, the general!" Qiu Tianfang hurriedly saluted Tuogu Yier again. After all, Qiu Tianfang agreed to surrender to the Tatars just for fame and fortune. If he could be valued by Khan, he would be considered a blessing in disguise. Thinking that he might live a more casual life in the future than in the Ming Dynasty court, Qiu Tianfang was naturally full of joy.

"General Qiu came here, probably because he knew the current predicament of our army. I wonder if General Qiu would have a good idea to help me break the city this time?" Tuogu Yier had already made a promise, so he naturally wanted to bring the conversation back to what he cared about the most.

"I am not satisfied with the Grand Marshal. I will come here this time to help the Grand Marshal break the city." Today, Qiu Tianfang can be said to have put all his wealth and life on Tuogu Yier. It can be said that the two people are like grasshoppers on the same rope. If the Tatars can win this time, they will naturally be able to get the glory and wealth they want. But if Tuogu Yier is defeated by Xiong Wanli, then I may not only lose the glory and wealth, but also worse. Maybe I will be captured by Xiong Wanli. What will be waiting for me at that time? Qiu Tianfang doesn't have to think about it, so Qiu Tianfang will spare no effort to help Tuogu Yier in this matter.

"Okay, since that's the case, General Qiu must have made some plans." Tuogu Ai was naturally aware of this, otherwise he would not have tried his best to surrender Qiu Tianfang.

"Master, before I came, I also heard that when the Master attacked Ganzhou City not long ago, he was harassed by a team of troops claiming to be the Huangqi Army? And later, General Bogu, according to your instructions, intercepted Xiong Wanli and others who came to pick him up outside Ganzhou City?"

"Yes, this is true. If our army had not discovered the actions of the Yellow Flag Army first, we would have suffered heavy losses without knowing it." There was no need for Tuogu Ai'er to conceal this matter, and this is also a well-known thing in the army. "What? Does General Qiu think there is something wrong with this matter?"

"Not this, General Shumo dared to ask more questions. Did the general send troops to pursue this group of yellow flag troops at that time?"

"Of course there is this, but later because it was too close to Ganzhou City, I was afraid that there would be ambushes, so I ordered the withdrawal. However, according to the horse-striking response, they did not seem to flee back to Ganzhou City directly, but walked towards Huangshigang on the other side. However, the specific place is still unclear. Although the Huangshigang area is desolate, the terrain is large and dangerous. It is probably not that easy to find their location. Before you come, I have ordered the road between Huangshigang and Ganzhou City to be strictly investigated, hoping to gain something."

"That's good." After hearing what Tuogu Ai'er said, Qiu Tianfang felt that the strategy he had thought of before coming was already indefinitely.

"Oh? Is there any way to break the city?" Tuogu Yier was still a little puzzled. After all, she had been besieging Ganzhou City for many days now. If this continues, when the reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty arrived, his tens of thousands of soldiers would not be their opponents, so this is also the reason why Tuogu Yier was so anxious.

"The Grand Marshal doesn't know that besides the yellow sand in the sky, there are only bare deserted stones left. Not to mention ordinary villages, there may not even be any decent plants in the field. Moreover, the road between Huangshigang and Ganzhou City has been blocked by the Grand Marshal's troops. Such a large number of troops alone have a lot of expenses for daily rations. It has been so long since this time, I believe that the Huangqi army and their army must be short of food and food. What kind of combat effectiveness can such an army have?"

"Oh? General Qiu means I want me to transfer the army to Huangshigang?" After hearing what Qiu Tianfang said, Tuogu Yier already understood the plan Qiu Tianfang would like to say next, but Tuogu Yier was somewhat unwilling to give up the city of Ganzhou, which had been besieged for so long. You must know that the size of Huangshigang is so big that it is very difficult to find an army from it, not only to find a needle in a haystack, but this means that Tuogu Yier's previous efforts will be wasted.

"Yes, yes, at present, you only need to continue to besiege Ganzhou City, but don't just attack. Just be siege like now. Beware of other connections with the outside world, and also strictly investigate all roads between Huangshigang and Ganzhou City. In addition, the Yangshigang needs to send more horses to sneak into Huangshigang so that the whereabouts of the Yellow Banner Army can be quickly found. In a few days, I estimate that their food will be sold out in the next few days. At that time, they will be hungry and have no combat effectiveness. Then we will take it down again. Without this Huangshigang, how can the 50,000 troops in Ganzhou City be our opponent?"

As soon as this plan was made, Tuogu Yier immediately stretched his eyebrows and showed a cheerful smile on his face. He walked down from the position of coach and came to Qiu Tianfang's side. While patting Qiu Tianfang's shoulder, he said with a laugh, "General Qiu is indeed a strategy. I didn't expect that the problem that we had not figured out for such a long time was resolved by General Qiu in less than a cup of tea. If this matter is done, the merit will be remembered on your head."

"Then I'll thank you, the general." Qiu Tianfang also smiled.

...

In a few days, the breath of midsummer has become heavier and heavier, especially in this Jiangnan area. The sultry weather seems to be on the mat, and even walking on the streets on weekdays, it takes only a short while to sweat, let alone those who are rushing on this official road...

Qin Ke'er walked alone on the official road to Suzhou. Even though she had a strong internal skills, Qin Ke'er was sweating all over in such hot weather. Even the plain dress she was wearing was wet in a lot of places, and her charming endings became a little stuck due to sweat.

"Huh!" Qin Ke'er wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand. Originally, Qin Ke'er planned to go directly to Suzhou City and have a rest, but the hot weather along the way had already left Qin Ke'er unable to even speak. In addition, there was not even a decent tree to enjoy the coolness along the way. The scorching sun above his head exposed every passerby, and even the land under his feet seemed to have wisps of white smoke rising. While Qin Ke'er was looking around, a tea shed appeared in her eyes at the right time.

"My second brother, get a pot of tea." After finally walking into the tea shed, Qin Ke'er sat on the stool almost like falling, and even her tone of speaking became a little delicate.
