Chapter 203 Inadvertent Dependence
Waiting is a torment!
Although Luo Shixin and Pingyang believed in Pei Qingyi and Hou Jie's abilities, they would still be worried about them and would not sleep when it was the most critical time.
The two sat together and paid attention to the scene outside the house, and some were chatting together.
It was not until dawn that Luo Shixin suddenly looked out the house, Pei Qingyi and Hou Jie came side by side, and both of them had a little tired look on their faces.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Luo Shixin and Pingyang met him at the same time, letting them sit down and rest.
Pei Qingyi drank a bowl of water in big mouthfuls and said, "I almost fell into trouble! Fortunately, Senior Hou took care of him. Senior, the name of the sky-surgent monkey, Qingyi has seen it today."
Hou Jie shook his head and said, "I have sneaked into many places, many royal and princes' mansions, but I almost fell into trouble here today. The guards of the Dangdu Grain Deposit are more than one level better than the royal and princes' mansions, and they are almost as good as those of the imperial palace."
Luo Shixin and Ping Yang looked at each other and saw the astonishment and a little excitement in each other's eyes.
Ping Yang said: "Speak slowly and tell me in detail what you encountered."
Hou Jie is not well-educated and is not good at organizing language, so he signaled Pei Qingyi to say it.
Pei Qingyi did not give in and explained the situations he encountered at night.
It turned out that the granary of Dangtu City was located in the southwest of Dangtu City. There were three giant grain warehouses, which were in the shape of a font, forming horns with each other. The place in the southwest of the city was forbidden to enter and exit, and even issued a notice, and dared to enter the grain warehouse. The defenders could take action first and then report.
Originally, there were 1,000 soldiers guarding every grain warehouse, but because the No. 1 grain warehouse is now empty, thousands of soldiers have been changed to No. 3 grain warehouse.
Luo Shixin asked: "Then should our target be the No. 3 Grain Depot?"
Pei Qingyi nodded and said, "The grain and grass in the No. 3 Grain Depot No. 3 in the southwest corner is almost full, and the No. 2 Grain Depot has eaten half of the grain." She felt that she was not detailed, so she found paper and pen and roughly drew the shape of the grain depot.
Looking at the distribution map of the grain warehouse, Luo Shixin and Pingyang frowned.
Pingyang asked, "I have 82 people on my hands. Are there any ways for you to bring all 82 people into the grain warehouse?"
"impossible!"
“This cannot be done!”
Hou Jie and Pei Qingyi answered Pei Qingyi's words almost at the same time.
Pei Qingyi continued: "I have paid attention in detail. The grain warehouse is very large, but their patrol guards are more than 300, divided into several horses, and they patrol them back and forth. Senior Hou and I spent a lot of effort to sneak into it. There were more than 20 people sleeping in hidden corners in the grain warehouse. After we sneaked in, we almost made them discover it. Fortunately, the seniors are experienced. In an instant, they rushed up to the roof beam, learned to call from the rats, and deal with it. The strict defense inside and outside really forced us to be cautious and cautious at every step. It took us almost all night for two grain warehouses to bring one or two people in, let alone bring more than 80 people."
"And it's useless even if you bring it in!" Hou Jie continued, "There are a little more people on the other side. I also found more than 300 wooden barrels in the back of the grain warehouse. The barrels were filled with water and covered with lids. After making enough preparations for extinguishing the fire, as long as the fire was together, they could immediately use the water in the barrels to extinguish the fire. Even if more than 80 people lurked in, they would soon be extinguished after setting the fire with the idea of dying, and it would not be worth it."
Luo Shixin and Pingyang repeatedly asked several crucial questions and let them go and rest.
The two sat at each other, looking at each other, and they didn't say anything for a while.
After a long time, Luo Shixin asked, "What do you think?"
Pingyang shook his head and said, "There is nothing to do."
Luo Shixin smiled bitterly and said, "I am the same. It is not enough for me to shake the other party. If the gap is too big, even if I can do it, I will be powerless if I am too smart. The only thing I know is that even if the other party attaches great importance to food, it can be seen from the side that the auxiliary public is short of food and regards food as a treasure and dare not be careless."
Pingyang said cautiously: "You are right. The Tang Dynasty did not build large granaries in Jiangnan. The grain produced every year is transported to Chang'an, Luoyang by water. Grain is their biggest weakness. If you want to break the deadlock, you must start with grain and grass. But..." She sighed: "They are really strict in their protection, and it is really difficult to break."
Ping Yang has a strong personality. He will not show such a young daughter posture when he has no choice. Just like in Guanzhong, even if he has been dead for a lifetime, she still faces all difficulties with the best fighting spirit and bravely overcomes them. But in front of Luo Shixin, she unnaturally showed this expression, because in her subconscious mind, Luo Shixin is a person worthy of her dependence.
Pingyang is a woman after all, and she has no support. She took the lead and did something amazing. With this support, she can't help but take a step back and feel the feeling of relying on her.
Luo Shixin didn't know Pingyang's heart, but he was just a stubborn temper. The more impossible he was, the more he wanted to try. He had done everything to force a hundred thousand troops to retreat by one person, and there was nothing else he could not do. He immediately said loudly: "There are flaws in tight fortresses, and the strong people have weaknesses. I don't believe that just burning food can stump me Luo Shixin. Your Highness doesn't need to sigh. This matter is bound to me, and I must come up with a way."
Pingyang was shocked when he saw Luo Shixin's encouragement, and caught off guard. She herself did not realize her previous attitude. This time, she immediately spat at herself and said with a smile: "Then let's compare and see who first came up with a way to break the enemy."
Pingyang came to his senses this time and immediately regained the confidence and courageous female hero who was not inferior to that of a beloved girl.
Luo Shixin immediately felt energetic when he saw Pingyang and said proudly: "Just compare. Although His Highness the Princess is a hero among women, it is not so easy to defeat me Luo Shixin."
Pingyang followed and said with a smile: "It is true that the general is both wise and brave. It is not easy to beat Pingyang."
The two of them motivated each other and their fighting spirit immediately broke through the limit.
They made an appointment with each other and went to bed one after another.
Only by restoring energy and having a clear mind can you come up with a brilliant plan.
The next morning, Luo Shixin lay on the bed thinking about the way to defeat the enemy. Although he was confident, the strategy did not come at all, especially the current situation was so bad. Their personal handicap was a huge flaw. One hit ten or ten hit one hundred people, which was the same according to mathematical calculations, but in fact it was very different.
They only have no ones. It is really not that easy and challenging to burn their food and grass under the noses of three thousand soldiers.
“Aoop!”
A crisp knock on the door came, planning Luo Shixin's idea.
"Come in, the door is not locked!" Luo Shixin responded, got up and sat up.
