On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 381
Cui Che's words almost touched Zhao Shizhu's heart, and immediately gave him a sense of confidant.

Later, Cui Che asked Zhao Shizhu about the military situation in the city, and Zhao Shizhu actually knew everything, and told Cui Che all the information he knew.

"What's the current situation of pharmacists in Yecheng?"

When parting, Cui Che asked the last question he cared about.

Zhao Shizhu replied:

"Ever since Li Sima proposed a sneak attack on Maozhou, but was rejected by Li Jing, he no longer participated in the military, and used illness as an excuse to stay at home all day long."

Hearing this, Cui Che nodded slightly, and entrusted Zhao Shizhu:

"If there is a chance, please ask Zhao Zhuguo to tell the pharmacist for me that Cui dare not forget the friendship in the past.

"I also know that he is involuntary to advise Li Jing, and he has never complained in his heart.

"I just hope that he can take care of himself and meet me again in Ye City after tomorrow."

Zhao Shizhu accepted the matter and left immediately.

Cui Che ordered Mai Jicai to send Zhao Shizhu out of the tent on his behalf, and said loudly to all the generals in the tent:
"The prime minister and the guards are not as good as the elite of Yandi, and now the morale of the defenders is low. All kinds of benefits, the advantage lies with me! Tomorrow, I will win the decisive battle!"

Everyone responded one after another, shouting along with him:
"We must win! We must win!"

Zhao Shizhu was blindfolded, and followed Mai Ji out of the camp, but heard deafening shouts from the handsome tent behind him, that sentence must win, and Zhao Shizhu deeply felt Cui Che and his generals Confidence.

This made Zhao Shizhu have to find a way out for himself.

He had long since given up hope for tomorrow's decisive battle. Li Jingcai had made up his mind to defend the city since he couldn't win it.

After all, there is still a glimmer of hope for a decisive battle outside the city. If you stick to the isolated city, who knows when the tens of thousands of Mingzhou soldiers and Weizhou soldiers who stay in the city will act as internal agents and secretly open the door for Cui Che.

Zhao Shizhu returned to Yecheng and told Li Jing that Cui Che had agreed to a decisive battle with the defenders of Yecheng outside the city tomorrow.

Li Jing hated Zhao Shizhu in his heart, and immediately sent him away, which made Zhao Shizhu feel even more resentful.

At night, he secretly went to Li Jing's residence. Normally, Li Jing would not want to see him. This person's reputation is really bad.

But Zhao Shizhu had just been sent to Cui Che's camp today, and now he was in a hurry to see him, so he must have something to do with Cui Che.

Sure enough, when Zhao Shizhu relayed some heartfelt words for Cui Che, Li Jing was greatly moved.

Zhao Shizhu took the opportunity to propose:

"Tomorrow, Lord Yan will have a big battle. If Li Sima misses his old relationship with Lord Yan, how can he sit in the city and remain indifferent?"

It's true that Li Jing despises Zhao Shizhu, but he also has the heart to make contributions to Cui Che. After all, he slapped Cui Ni in front of Li Jing before.

He already had a plan in his heart, but he never revealed a word to Zhao Shizhu. Li Jing always felt that Zhao Shizhu was not someone who could conspire with major events.

Seeing that Li Jing refused to agree, Zhao Shizhu had to leave dejectedly.

That night, Cui Che remained vigilant and arranged for soldiers to take turns to guard the camp.

But Li Jing did not go out of the city to attack the camp after all.

Just like Shi Wansui camped, he never arranged guards, but he never encountered an attack on the camp, it was because others were afraid of his prestige.

And Cui Che was superior to Shi Wansui in terms of record and reputation, just like Zhao Shizhu complimented before, when he said that he robbed the camp, no one could match him at that time.

The morale of the defenders had already dropped to the bottom. If they rushed out of the city to attack the camp and suffered another defeat, there would be no need to fight tomorrow's decisive battle.

In the fourth year of Renshou (AD 604), September 29 coincided with the alternation of autumn and winter.

Before dawn, the Yan army camp was already making fire and cooking.

After eating breakfast, all the ministries took a short rest in the camp, and then left the camp one after another, heading to the agreed decisive battle.

This was the first battle that 14-year-old Su Dingfang had experienced, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of tension in his heart, instead he was uncontrollably excited.

Previously, when Cui Che selected generals, he only made an exception and promoted 16-year-old Cheng Yaojin.

Of course, Su Dingfang didn't have any complaints about this. After all, that black servant was older than him. At least for now, he was inferior to Cheng Yaojin no matter in foot or horse battles.

He also doesn't envy Cheng Yaojin who can lead an army alone. As one of the ten partial generals of the pre-account army, Su Dingfang has a cavalry regiment of 1000 people under his command.

The pre-accounting army was originally selected from among the elite cavalry of [-] Yan, and the cavalry regiment under Su Dingfang's command was more selective, and was designated by Cui Che as the first regiment of the pre-accounting army.

Su Dingfang has plenty of confidence to deal with the upcoming war.

There is still a short period of time before Sishizheng (ten o'clock in the morning), and the armies of both sides are already ready and arrayed outside the city.

In the Sui army, Sima Feng Xiaoci, the general manager of Xiangzhou, was the main general, and the [-] infantry in the two prefectures of Wei and Wei were the central army.

Lu Yu, who joined the army from the Judiciary, led [-] cavalry as the left army, and Mo Chenyi, the third minister of Yitong, led [-] cavalry as the right army, a total of [-] cavalry.

Li Jing, the general manager of Xiangzhou, led five thousand Xiangzhou infantry to sit in the city.

The Yan army, with Cui Che as the main general, led 5000 Boling cavalry and 5000 Pishi troops as the central army.

The Pishi army was in the front with shields, and the Boling cavalry were in the rear.

He also ordered Qin Qiong to lead the left army, the four generals Liu Heita, Cheng Yaojin, Lu Mingyue and Zhou Kan, who led 5000 cavalry and soldiers.

The right army was led by Wang Dangwan, with 5000 soldiers, including [-] cavalry soldiers from the pre-account army, and [-] silver saddle Khitan Zhi who returned to the army from Weizhou.

A total of 5000 people marched and rode

Cui Che left Gao Yaxian to guard the camp, as for the people from Ming and Wei prefectures who were summoned, they were also dismissed yesterday.

When Wei Chijiong rebelled and fought Wei Xiaokuan outside Yecheng, when victory was in sight, it was because the melon-eaters were frightened and rushed into the formation indiscriminately, which led to a disastrous defeat, and he was decapitated in the end.

Naturally, Cui Che would not keep the audience.

Feng Xiaoci, the chief general of the Sui army, bit his lip, he didn't need to fight, just from the opponent's momentum, he could tell that the Yan army he was facing was an elite army, which made Feng Xiaoci feel pressured.

In this battle, according to the distribution of troops, both sides can also see the focus.

Cui Che put the elite on the two wings, hoping that the left and right armies could quickly defeat the opponent's cavalry, and then outflank the Sui army's central army.

Feng Xiaoci hoped that the left and right armies could delay the time as much as possible, and give him time to defeat Cui Che's central army.

It's just that Cui Che had judged Feng Xiaoci's plan a long time ago, so he ordered the infantry of the Pishi army to hold their shields in front.

The two sides confronted each other for a long time, the Sui army under Feng Xiaoci's command was the first to beat the drums, and Lu Yu and Hou Mo Chen Yi led the cavalry to guard the two wings of the Chinese army and followed the drums.

For a moment, the sky was full of dust.
