Chapter 129 Opportunity
Just, the next moment.
These people are very stable.
No one said anything else.
Zhao Sui and Zhao Yi went up to the tower and stood there, looking down. Zhao Sui said, "Everyone, some people say that I, the King of Jiaodong, want to surrender. Those are people who want to sow discord. Don't believe them. I am the King of Jiaodong. How can I give this place up? If you want to fight, we will fight. We don't need to fight him."
Zhao Yi also said: "Yes, as the prince of Jiaodong, I also think so. Since everyone has made preparations, how can we, father and son, disappoint everyone?"
"Those who can stay are all my father's personal soldiers, and they all have a passion for the land of Jiaodong. It is our duty to take up arms and protect our homeland. We have the common people, parents, children, wives, and millions of people behind us."
The soldiers and generals all burst into tears after hearing this. The next moment, everyone shouted, "Defend our homes and our families."
The sound was like thunder, resounding through heaven and earth.
Zhao Sui was also slightly startled and looked at Zhao Yi, who couldn't help but smile.
The father and son walked around the city wall and checked the defenses everywhere.
---------------
Xiang Yu was sitting in the camp. At this moment, all the generals here had solemn expressions, and everyone had a serious look on his face.
One of the generals couldn't help but clasped his fists and asked, "General Xiang, it's not good for us to just sit here. Now, the Crown Prince Zhao Yi must have gone back to make adjustments to the defense. When the time comes, it will be even more difficult for us to attack the city."
Another general also echoed: "Yes, yes, that's right."
"General Xiang, we should strike while they are not ready, so that we can save the King of Jiaodong and the Crown Prince."
"We have spent so much time here. Although we have obtained the food from the King of Jiaodong in the new city, our morale is already somewhat low. Now people are saying that we cannot defeat the people inside, so we are doing this."
"Some people also say that we are fighting without any rules, and that even those who can lead troops don't know how to fight!"
"Anyway, the rumors out there are weird."
Xiang Yu was unmoved. He just looked at the generals steadily and asked, "Gentlemen, how do you think we should fight this time?"
He did not express his own opinion, but asked the people present directly.
All the generals were speechless immediately, as if no one could answer this question at that moment.
Seeing that the generals did not answer, Xiang Yu chuckled and said, "Why? Generals, have you not thought about it? Are you all waiting for the order from this great general?"
All the generals were stunned, and then expressed their thoughts.
One of them said, "General Xiang, we don't need to fight at all. We can just tell the people inside to cooperate with us. Once the city gates are opened, we can accomplish our goal."
"We can capture this city without spending a single soldier."
"only……"
Before the general finished speaking, Xiang Yu turned his head, looked at the general, and asked, "Just what?"
The general continued: "It's just that this matter is a bit troublesome!"
"We don't have anyone inside right now."
Xiang Yu did not say anything. He looked at the crowd and asked, "Generals, do you have any other ideas?"
When the other generals heard this, they also thought for a while, but did not say their own ideas. In fact, they did not have any good ideas.
All the previous deployments have now been broken by Xiang Yu. Even the defenders in the city are a little confused. They don’t know what the enemy generals are planning!
But many of them are just small soldiers and don’t know how to use troops. Even if they know a little, they are just insignificant figures.
Xiang Yu continued, "Why, don't you want to fight? Now there is no solution, how can we fight?"
The generals were stunned and didn't know how to answer.
Xiang Yu continued, "Generals and counselors, you should all know that we have plenty of food and grass, many soldiers, and a strong army. In addition to fighting the King of Jiaodong, we also have to fight the Northern Mang barbarians in the north. As soon as we start fighting here, the Northern Mang barbarians will take advantage of the opportunity to attack us."
"I've been waiting for so long, just waiting for their movement. Recently, intelligence shows that the Northern Barbarians are actually mobilizing troops and marching straight to our northern border. What do you think is the reason for this?"
When the generals and counselors heard this, they finally realized what Xiang Yu was planning.
They were also very clear that Xiang Yu now had 300,000 troops in his hands, many of whom would be used to build border defenses on the northern line to resist the southward advance of Beimang.
There are really less than 100,000 people available.
As for Gu Jiantang's soldiers, some of them were willing to follow Xiang Yu, but some were unwilling, so they left to farm or went elsewhere.
"General Xiang, you have such a comprehensive thinking. It really opened our eyes. It's all because of our shallowness and short-sightedness. Please don't blame us, General Xiang."
One of the counselors said:
"Since General Xiang has already made a plan, I wonder if now is the best time to capture the city of the King of Jiaodong."
Xiang Yu immediately issued an order:
"Former General, listen to my orders!"
At this moment, a man in armor stood up, knelt on one knee in front of Xiang Yu, and said in a deep voice: "I obey your orders!"
Xiang Yu said: "You lead 10,000 troops to recapture several cities in the east."
The former general said in a deep voice: "I obey your orders!"
He took the command and still stood among the crowd.
Xiang Yu continued: "General Zuo, I obey your orders!"
General Zuo, like the former general, also knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice, "I obey your orders!"
Xiang Yu: "General Zuo, go north and gather all the troops, food, and civilians in Jiaodong!"
Then came the right general and the rear general, each with their own tasks.
After everyone received the order, they still stood in the camp, waiting for Xiang Yu's order or other things.
One of the counselors clasped his fists towards Xiang Yu and said, "General Xiang, I think we can order some people to pry open the city gate and sneak in. This way, we can coordinate inside and outside and achieve great things."
Xiang Yu nodded and said, "Just do as you say."
He had some extraordinary people selected and sent a few powerful soldiers to follow them, and went to the city gate to perform tricks everywhere.
Take the opportunity to sneak into the city, and when the battle starts, the people inside will support the outside, and by then, the whole city will fall without a fight.
---------------
into the night.
Zhao Sui felt his eyelids twitching violently and felt a little uneasy.
Zhao Yi had just returned from the front line. Seeing his father Zhao Yi's actions, he immediately asked with concern: "Father, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Sui waved his hand and said, "It's just a headache."
Zhao Yi said with concern: "Father, I am here, you should go and rest. If a war breaks out, I am afraid you will never have time to rest again."
Zhao Sui shook his head and said, "We can't rest yet. We must pay attention to the movements in the city and the safety of the people. We can't let the enemy take advantage of us."
