The most powerful tyrant of the Sui Dynasty

For Pan Mei and Di Qing, who guarded the two cities of Odo and L, Zhao Kuangyin was not worried that he would be defeated, and at the same time, Zhao Kuangyin immediately ordered to transport grain and grass for the two cities.

There were still several cities nearby, and the problem of grain and grass was not urgent. Now that the other cities are lost, once the food and grass are insufficient, the two generals will be in crisis.

With Zhao Kuangyin's order, he immediately ordered a letter back to Yang Guang.

To the effect that the two countries should have a contest, the locations were set in the cities of Odo and Les. Then he gave Di Qing Panmei an order to let the two of them defend the city and destroy the Sui army if they could.

With the decree issued, before the grain and grass troops were delivered, they were served by Li Cunxiao.

This made Zhao Kuangyin angry again, now the grain and grass can't be delivered, everything can only rely on the two big generals to see the opportunity to act, this time it is weak, for a while, Zhao Kuangyin has been thinking about tea and dinner for several days.

At this time, Pan Mei Diqing and the two gathered together to discuss ways to deal with the Sui army together.

Both of them have their own ideas, Pan Mei, the word Zhongxun, the founding general of the Northern Song Dynasty, has a very good relationship with Zhao Kuangyin, helped Zhao Kuangyin attack and destroy the Southern Han Dynasty, from the south of the Pingjiang River, from the Northern Han Dynasty, and made many contributions, Zhao Kuangyin trusts him very much, is benevolent, often praised, and he is very talented in leading troops.

There is a rumor in the Northern Song Dynasty that when the Northern Song Dynasty was founded, Zhao Kuangyin seized the throne and entered the palace for the first time, and suddenly saw a concubine in the palace holding a child. At that time, Prime Minister Zhao Pu advised Zhao Kuangyin to kill the child to prevent future troubles.

And Pan Mei and the other marshal stood behind Zhao Kuangyin and did not speak. Zhao Kuangyin asked Pan Mei, and Pan Mei said: For the sake of Your Majesty, this son can't stay, and Your Majesty and I used to be ministers of Zhou Shizong, and it would be unkind to kill his son because he couldn't make the country stronger. Of course, the minister did not dare to persuade His Majesty to keep this son, so as not to arouse His Majesty's suspicion of the minister, and asked His Majesty to decide.

At that time, Zhao Kuangyin really wanted to kill the child, and when he heard what Pan Mei said, he immediately changed his mind and threw him to Pan Mei for adoption, and never asked again.

This incident confirms from the side that Pan Mei is very valued by Zhao Kuangyin, and her heart is still more virtuous.

Di Qing, the word Hanchen, is also a famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty, this person was born poor, enlisted in the army since he was a child, has a tattoo on his face, is good at riding and shooting, and is known as 'General Nie'. This man is brave and scheming, often wearing a hair and a bronze mask, charging into battle, and making outstanding achievements.

Because of his good fighting and bravery, he was once known as Wuqu Xingxia, he was born in a poor family, and was quite reused by Zhao Kuangyin, once when the power of the Western Xia Kingdom was strong, he broke the Western Xia army, so that the Western Xia was slumped, and later he also pacified Zhao Kuangyin and fixed the thick wisdom high.

This person does not take credit for his meritorious service, and often gives credit to his subordinates. At the beginning, his subordinates admired Di Qing's combat courage and excellent strategy, and later they knew that Di Qing was so-called, and his subordinates admired him even more.

There is also a story about his good strategy, when the Northern Song Dynasty army was defeated one after another and its morale was low. If the soldiers feel that this battle is impossible to win, then the battle will definitely be lost. How to boost morale and let Di Qing rack his brains.

Later, Di Qing saw that there was a custom of worshipping God somewhere in the south, and he immediately came up with a plan.

When he came to a certain temple, Di Qing asked the whole army to repair, and at the same time dismounted to worship the ghosts and gods.

At this time, the whole army had nothing to do, so they all ran to Di Qing's side to watch, only to see Di Qing chanting a word in his mouth: Please bless the ghosts and gods in this battle, let me win a great victory in the Northern Song Dynasty, this general must be filial piety every year, if the ghosts and gods really appear, I will pay tribute to the hundred copper coins of my filial piety all the words up.

When the adjutant general heard what Di Qing said, he immediately stopped him.

How could such a thing happen, I am afraid that it will affect the morale of the whole army. Di Qing didn't pay attention to it at all, only said that the ghosts and gods would bless the righteous army of the Northern Song Dynasty, and then threw the copper coins in his hand, and the copper coins on both sides were words, so the hundred copper coins were displayed with the words facing up, and the morale of the whole army was greatly boosted.

It was known to the Northern Song Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty, and was well known by the monarchs and ministers.

"The Sui army intercepted my Northern Song Dynasty grain and grass, and now it is fighting head-on with the Sui army, and the chance of victory is slim. "

As soon as Di Qing found out about the arrival of the Sui army, he also sent scouts to find out some information about the Sui army.

The 100,000 army spent a lot of money in a day, and Di Qing's first concern was the grain and grass brought by the Sui army this time.

After learning that the Sui army did not accompany the baggage troops, Di Qing breathed a sigh of relief, even if he learned that the grain transport team of the Northern Song Dynasty was intercepted, he was not too anxious.

Those grain transport troops can let the Sui Dynasty snatch as much grain and grass as they want, and once the enemy army is found, they will also take the initiative to burn it at the most helpless time and not leave it for the Great Sui.

Therefore, Di Qing judged that this time the Sui army could not support it for too long.

Although this place was originally under the jurisdiction of Xixia City, after all, it was too far away from the Sui Dynasty, and the Xixia Kingdom was very poor, and its own soldiers and horses were still stretched, not to mention the trouble, now there is Li Cunxiao's army.

The army of 100,000 will stay here for a while at most, and once the grain and grass are used up, it will be difficult to go back.

Pan Mei obviously also recognized Di Qing's judgment, and admired Di Qing's first investigation, and immediately complied.

The two discussed it, and immediately wrote a letter together, wrote dozens of letters, and broke through together, wanting to pass the chaos into the hands of Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty.

This approach was very sudden, although Li Cunxiao had already surrounded the two cities, he did not expect that since Di Qing used this method, he had a lot of escapes for a while.

When the letter was seen by Zhao Kuangyin and Li Cunxiao, the huge difference in the mentality of the two was even more obvious.

The content of the letter, first, informed the Sui army of the shortage of grain and grass, and said that the two of them were in the city, and they could delay until the Sui army retreated on its own initiative. The second is to inform Zhao Kuangyin that there is no need to send any more food, but let the Sui army intercept it. Three one, that is, let Zhao Kuangyin be relieved, don't urge them to take the initiative.

Zhao Kuangyin is not stupid, so naturally he will not do this, and after learning about the situation of the Sui army, he was even more relieved and happy.

Immediately replied to inform Di Qing and Pan Mei that all war matters were up to them.

Of course, after Li Cunxiao made this mistake, he immediately made up for it, and Zhao Kuangyin's secret decree naturally could no longer break through the encirclement of the tiger and wolf riding, and could not be seen by Di Qing and Pan Mei.

At this time, Li Cunxiao also saw the letter from the two of them replying to Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, and a smile appeared on his face.

It seems that this time I really met my opponent, these two people are very different from the wine bags and rice bags they faced before, Li Cunxiao has become a little more serious.
