Wei Liang heard Qi Yuanzhan's hands eagerly, and when he saw Qi Yuanzhan look forward, he arched his hands to Qin Meng: "General, I would like to draw the Turks here."

Qin Meng smiled and waved his hand: "Everyone has his own job. Charge into battle, slay the enemy and kill the enemy. General Qi is not as good as you, but you are not as good as General Qi when you show weakness and lure the enemy into the enemy. By the way, Mr. Zheng Lun. What books are you reading there?"

When I heard the word reading, Wei Liang's arrogance immediately wilted, and he chuckled: "Reading, reading is too difficult, general, the humble duty thinks that military errands are suitable for me, don't you think..."

Qin Meng interrupted Wei Liang with a cold snort, and coldly swept Wei Da's eyes.

Wei Da stared at Wei Liang with anger. It is estimated that if it weren't for everyone, he would have drawn a big mouth long ago.

Qin Meng gave a light cough. Everyone knew that this was going to be an order, so they quickly bowed their hands and waited for the order.

"Qi Yuan, click on a thousand legs and feet quickly, a brainy soldier, drove a hundred carts, and rushed to Jinning. You must remember that the Turks are very fast. As long as you see a figure, you don’t have any hesitation. Withdraw your belongings in the car to Wuwei. One thing to be aware of, don't throw everything on the car all at once, throw it all the way along the way, and be sure to lure the Turkic people over."

Qi Yuan took his orders and went down to prepare.

Qin Meng thought for a while and said: "Turkic people love money like fate, and they will rob them when they see them. So this general is not worried that Qi Yuan will be overtaken. But just in case, Xie Yun, choose a hundred Jianqi, Yuan Follow Qi Yuan far away. If there are Turkic people who want to chase after him, they can go forward to meet the enemy. Remember, don't get entangled. Just cover Qi Yuan and retreat."

Xie Yun took his orders and went down to prepare.

"Zhou Lie, you and Gong Hui are waiting at the north gate with bows and crossbows, ready to meet the enemy at any time. Sun Mao, you contact Lord Guan Xiangguan, let all civil servants wear official uniforms, listed above the four gates. Make the appearance of everyone in Wuwei guarding the city. If there is a Turkic offender, you can pretend to be panicked, and wait for the enemy to reach the range, then shoot your bow and arrow."

Qin Meng's orders came down one by one, and everyone around him took his orders one by one. Wei Liang watched one person go down and looked at Qin Meng eagerly, hoping that he could get something too.

Who knows, Qin Meng did not arrange Wei Liang at the end of the arrangement, and left without even looking at him.

Wei Liang stretched out his hand to speak, but was kicked by Wei Da.

"Uncle, why hit me?" In addition to being honest in front of Qin Meng, Wei Liang didn't dare to make trouble with Wei Da.

"Hmph, the general praised you so much, but how did you return the general?" Wei Dasen glared at Wei Liang.

Wei Liang hurriedly gave a salute: "Uncle, my nephew, of course, knows the general's promotion, but, however, it is too difficult to read."

"Bastard!" Wei Da saw that there was no one on the left and right, and he pulled up his mouth and shouted: "Don't you know that everything is inferior, only reading is high? If reading is so easy, how can a scholar have such a high status? If I am a general, I will praise you But pushing three and four blocks, kicking you in the ditch a long time ago, and still allowing you to be picky and thin?"

Wei Liang didn't dare to speak, so he could only make promises.

Wei Da sighed and said: "The general is both civil and military. Although he lives in Wuwei, he is not in the pool. My father and I, cough... If you want to get ahead, you must be with you, and you must rely on the general. Humph, little beast. , You can listen. If you dare to disobey the general, the next time, it will break your dog legs!"

No matter how arrogant, Wei Liang didn't dare to argue with his uncle, he knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that he didn't dare anymore.

In the main city of Wuwei, the common people have the hope of returning to normal life, and they are all busy.

However, the mobilization of the army in the main city still affected the sensitive nerves of the Wuwei people.

After all, the fear of being looted is like a nightmare engraved in the hearts of each of them. If the army in the city moves like this, is it going to fight again

The government's announcement confirms the people's worries.

In addition to a brief introduction to the surrounding enemy situation, the most important part of the announcement is to mobilize young and strong men in Wuwei City. You must be prepared to add to the city defense force at any time of crisis.

Within two days, the government officials banged gongs along the street to announce that all young men, according to their neighborhoods, reported to the city defense station. They were issued directly to the ordnance and stood on the city wall.

The attentive people found that this was a bit wrong, because the defensive force on the city wall consisted of only a few old and weak regular city defense forces. Moreover, civilian officials were responsible for commanding and dispatching.

The city defensive camp under the city wall is neighing war horses. Although you can't see the specific situation inside, you can guess that the regular combat forces are all in it!

Qin Meng was in the barracks seen by the people on the wall, and all the elites were hidden inside.

Calculating the time, Qi Yuan's one, it should not be far from Jinning. You can see Turkic people outside Jinning as soon as today and tomorrow at the latest.

The battle report confirmed Qin Meng's guess.

Xie Yun led the response to Jianqi, continuously passing back the situation ahead.

Qi Yuan's subordinate, a hundred miles outside Jinning City, saw the Turkic team.

Turkic people discovered. Immediately led troops to attack.

According to Qin Meng's deployment, Qi Yuan ordered the people to immediately turn around, throwing away their belongings, and retreating in the direction of Wuwei.

The performance of the Turkic people did not exceed Qin Meng's expectations. When they saw the property on the road, they immediately dismounted and robbed it. They were in a mess. There was even a situation where they fought each other to snatch the property.

Qi Yuan ran for a while, and found that the Turkic people behind him did not follow up quickly, so he had to slow down and wait for a while. When the Turkic people came up again, he would throw away his belongings and ran away.

The Jianqi 100 sent by Xie Yun was of no use at all, and Qi Yuan had to wait for the Turkic people. Jianqi had to observe from a distance. He was originally prepared to block the enemy, but now he has become a scout reporting the battle situation.

In another three days, Qi Yuan sent people to send Qin Meng the latest situation. Turkic people are indeed chasing after him, but the number is not very large, only a few thousand. This Qin Meng expected to lure the enemy. Department, there is a big gap.

However, this gap is in Qin Meng's expected variables.

After all, the main direction of the Turkic attack is the Jinning Honghua line and the Yanchuan Lingwu line. The main force will not easily change the main attack direction without major changes.

Qin Meng thought for a while, and decided to implement his second step to lure the enemy.

"Sun Mao, choose two thousand city defense troops, pull one hundred thousand catties of grain and grass, and wait outside the west gate. While waiting, scouts will be sent to investigate, and Qi Yuan’s troops will retreat to Wuwei. The ru department detours from Xicheng to Beicheng, as if returning with grain and waiting for Turks People attack, throw away the food, and return to the main city quickly."

One day later, Qi Yuan led his thousand people back to the main city of Wuwei in an orderly manner.

Sun Mao had long received news from the dispatched scouts and followed Qin Meng's deployment. Go around to the north city.

When the team escorting the grain and grass just saw the northern city gate, hordes of Turkic cavalry appeared in the distance.

When the Turkic cavalry saw the grain transport team, they stopped for a while, and immediately made a charge call, and rushed over to the escorting grain and grass team.

Qin Meng asked Xie Yun to lead three hundred Jianqi into the battle, but before he had contact with Sun Mao's team. All turned around and rushed back to the main city of Wuwei.

The Turkic people easily got one hundred thousand catties of grain and grass, and immediately yelled at Wuwei City to show off their power and challenge them endlessly.

At the head of Wuwei city, Qin Meng withdrew all the officers, and all those in charge of command became civilian officers.

When the Turkic people saw such a scene, they became more and more arrogant.

Guan Xiang informed Qin Meng about the performance of the Turkic people outside the city. Qin Meng had a plan to ask Guan Xiang to find someone who was familiar with the Turkic language to call down. He could use the means of delivering grain, grass and silver in exchange for the Turkic to retreat.

It is conceivable that when the Turks saw the main city of Wuwei bend their knees with such humble words, they did not get the benefits and left quickly, but the lions opened their mouths and offered the same sky-high cost of retreat.

Qin Meng instructed Guan Xiang to bargain with the Turkic people, and when he took out the goods, he seemed to suffer with nothing.

When it came to a certain time, Guan Xiang ignored the Turkic people.

The Turks were so dizzy with the rich gains of these days. Seeing Wu Wei dared to ignore them, they immediately thought of attacking the city, but because of the small number of people, they tried a little bit and gave up.

If it is left as usual and the Turks cannot attack the city, they turn to Wuwei to looting the countryside, but this time. Everyone in these Turks has looted property, as well as the 100,000 catties of grain and grass that have already been obtained, so you can't take so many things and looting again, right

After thinking about it for a moment, the Turkic people immediately sent someone back to report that, in Wuwei, people are persuading a lot of money and want to make a fortune, come here!

Five days later, Guan Xiang reported to Qin Meng that a brigade of Turkic troops came to the northwest of Wuwei, and the number of them was around 30,000.

Qin Meng nodded and said, "When Guan Xiang sent people to negotiate, he said that Wuwei would like to donate one hundred thousand catties of grain and grass. In exchange for the Turkic people to retreat. If the Turkic people refuse, they can beg bitterly, fixed at 150,000. Jin, if you still refuse to allow it, you can ask the messenger to speak, go back and discuss it with Shangfeng."

Guan Xiang led orders and immediately sent people to negotiate with the Turkic people.

Sure enough, the messenger came back and told that Turkic people's desires are difficult to fill, and their mouths are millions of catties of grain and grass. Moreover, with a little extra money, if they don't allow it, they will use Wuwei immediately.

Qin Meng sneered and told Guan Xiang that he would no longer contact the Turkic people. Even if the Turkic people sent someone over, they refused to meet.

The Turkic people outside the city waited for two days. When no one came out of Wuwei City, they couldn't calm down, so they sent someone over to negotiate.

Who knows, the Turkic envoy was rejected and told that the appetite was too big, and there was no possibility of talking about it. In this case, it depends on the ability of the Turkic people. In Wuwei City, the new grain of millions of catties is obviously not available to you. If you have the ability, come and get it in town.

The Turkic generals were furious. Think about the thousands of Turkic tribes who could snatch so much property and robbed one hundred thousand catties of food and grass. They brought more than 30,000 people. Would they be inferior to those thousands of tribes

After being furious, the Turkic general ordered to encircle the main city of Wuwei. Is there any difficulty in striking down the city guarded by several civilians? (End of this chapter)
