Chapter 10 Dagger Now
“Three strategies!?”
A word shocked everyone. Everyone had no plans, but Wu Ci said three strategies. Could it be that he really has the wisdom to plan?
Wu Ci stood proudly, showing the urge to look down on the world.
Si Yang kicked him. "Ghost monkey, say what you have, and put it on when you have farts; what should I be rubbed?"
Shi Qing couldn't help but smile and said, "Xingyun (Wu Ci's character), the three strategies above, middle, and lower are the three strategies? Please come one by one."
Wu Ci talked happily on the slope. "Ci already knew his worries today by the Yingshui River, and he suggested to collect the troops so that the golden cicada would escape. It was right in front of him. Ci suggested; in the middle of the night, our army was divided into four or five divisions or ** divisions, and with a command, they fled in all directions. Scorpion commander led the volunteer soldiers and took advantage of the opportunity to leave. As long as the volunteer soldiers were safe, they would be able to make a comeback in the future. This is the best strategy."
Wu Ci paused and looked around. He saw that everyone had their own understanding and was quite moved. He couldn't help but feel proud. When he was brewing his expression and preparing to be excited again, Shi Qing poured a basin of cold water on his head.
"This is not the best strategy, it is a vicious plan. This move will cause young and strong people to fall into a Jedi. Young and strong people, civilians and volunteer soldiers are neighbors, relatives and friends, breaking their arms and tendons. We use this vicious plan, even if the volunteer soldiers are protected, how can we convince them in the future?"
Wu Ci was stunned. Si Yang was already scolding. "Ghost Monkey, you should use your poisonous heart on your opponent, how should you use it for your own brothers? What is your Zhongshou?"
Wu Ci said reluctantly, "Is Zhongce? It's just a golden cicada to escape. But moving the location to Rushui. The Scorpion Master does not need the best strategy, and Zhongce will not take it even if he thinks it will come. It's better not to say it."
"What's the worst way?"
Shi Qing's tone was obviously a little disappointed. Wu Ci felt that he was unwilling to miss the opportunity to perform, so he immediately cheered up and said with a smile: "Scorpion is not happy with the best, and he won the two strategies, and he will definitely be satisfied with the worst."
"Oh?" Shi Qing was surprised and his interest increased greatly.
Wu Cichunchun said: "Does the government army feel strange if we don't attack and kill us or accept surrender? Do you know why this is?"
Si Yang said impatiently: "Who doesn't know there is something strange here! You should tell me the worst. "
Wu Ci smiled and said calmly: "Ci believes that we are not the target of the government army. They are implementing the strategy of driving tigers and swallowing wolves, driving us to deal with other opponents. Haha. They want to drive tigers and swallow wolves; we are not as good as they wish. If they are in a dangerous place, they will defend themselves... Do you think the government army will fight against us? Ci think that as long as we hold on for a few days, the government army will retreat."
Everyone's eyes lit up. Shi Qinghe said, "It's just that Runan is flat and there is no danger. How can I defend it?"
Wu Ci raised his head and said with a sigh: "As far as Ci knows, the Ru River passed by, Ancheng; it was the capital of Yuzhou for hundreds of years. The city walls were tall and strong, and it should be guarded..."
"You are only good at talking about war on paper, and you are useless in all the three strategies." Han Peng had already interrupted Wu Ci.
"Only two thousand of us, we can only guard a Tubao County, and we can barely go to guard Ancheng... we are not satisfied with one city wall. We are looking for death! Your upper and middle strategies are also nonsense. Do you know how many official troops are around us? Do you know how they act? Tell you, there are six or seven thousand soldiers on our left and right and behind us; they use two hundred people as a unit and form a big net to echo each other. Even if we abandon the Civilian Ministry and the conscripts, we can't run out. Not to mention the cavalry chasing. The imperial army acted quickly. Before we could reach Rushui, their vanguard had collected ships on the shore of Rushui. Do you want to take a raft and escape from the water? I think it's beautiful!"
Wu Ci's three strategies are full of loopholes, but there are some truths. At least he said that the government army was driving tigers and swallowing wolfs.
Shi Qing turned to Zhou Fang thoughtfully. "Brother Zhou, you are a native of Pingyu. You should know Ancheng, right?"
Zhou Fang was in his thirties and was humble and polite. Although he had only been a day in the gang, he gathered in the heads of the group with his affection of offering iron spears, and no one disliked him to drive him away. After hearing Shi Qing's question, he smiled slightly and said, "Where is Ancheng now? There is only one Xuanhu City on the south bank of Rushui."
Shi Qing glanced at Wu Ci, and Wu Ci's face turned red and said with difficulty: "How come there is no Ancheng? I read the classics..."
"Ancheng has been destroyed long ago." Zhou Fang said slowly: "More than 30 years ago, Shi Le and Dajin fought in the Jianghuai area. Shi Le's troops were exhausted and were preparing to retreat to Youji. He was worried that the cities in the Jianghuai area would be re-occupied by Dajin, so he burned all the dangerous cities in this area. Shangcai, Ancheng was also among them..."
When Shi Qing heard this, he nodded secretly. Historical records show that Shi Le and Shi Hu would burn their city and capture their people when they left, so that most of the cities in the Jianghuai area were destroyed. Later, Ma Qiu built a new city, Macheng, Zu Di rebuilt Huzhu, and Xingyang.
"...After Zu Di recovered Yuzhou, the Dajin restored the governance of Runan. At this time, the people of Runan were either taken captive or built villages to protect themselves. No one was willing to settle in the city, so there was no need to repair the city. Therefore, the Dajin only set up a new stronghold on the old site of Ancheng. This is Xuanhu City..."
Zhou Fang was extremely talkative and talked about it very thoroughly. "...After Zu Di left, Da Zhao reoccupied Henan Province. Da Zhao despised Xuanhu City being too remote, so he set up the Zhouzhu in Xuchang. Xuanhu City became a border... "
"Wait!" Shi Qing interrupted Zhou Fang's statement and asked in confusion: "Brother Zhou. What do you mean by border ruins?"
"Haha... It seems that Scorpion is not a border guy, I don't know what the border ruins are?"
Zhou Fang smiled and explained: "Everything in the world varies from place to place. The north produces cattle, sheep, livestock and fur, and silk tea in the south produces. None of the two places can do anything about each other's output. However, over the years, the north and the south have fought, how could ordinary merchants dare to go back and forth? Thirty years ago, Zu Di and Shi Le fought across the Yellow River, and neither of them could do anything to each other. Finally, Shi Le asked for peace and proposed to trade and exchange with Zu Di. At that time, Zu Di Zheng was short of military resources, so he agreed to set up a Xuji in Xingyang in the name of the government, and to invite families from the north and the south to provide special services for goods exchange in the north and the south. This is the border. After Zu Di left, the border was still maintained, but because the Great Zhao occupied Henan Province, the border between the Great Zhao and the Great Jin moved south from both sides of the Yellow River to both sides of the Huai River. The border also moved from Xingyang to Xuanhu City."
"Brother Zhou has a wide range of knowledge." Shi Qing was still satisfied and praised.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Fang's face froze and then smiled and said, "It's okay all day long, I'll hear what the old people are talking nonsense."
When Wu Ci heard Shi Qing praise Zhou Fang, he narrowed his eyes and stared at him like a poisonous snake discovering prey: This guy has a good appearance and a good eloquence. Be careful in the future and don’t let him steal the lottery alone.
"What's the situation in Xuanhu City now? Do Brother Zhou know?" Shi Qing asked again.
Zhou Fang hesitated for a moment and said, "Xenghu City is now the capital of Shangcai County, but the governor of Yuzhou has no right to care about Xuanhu City. The county magistrate Shangguan En is responsible for withdrawing commercial taxes and directly paying them to the court. Shangguan En only has more than a thousand township soldiers under his command, but he has received support from the aristocratic tribes who traded in Xuanhu City. These aristocratic tribes have left many guards to station in Xuanhu City. Shangguan En gave an order and immediately became a strong army. There are seven or eight aristocratic farms around Xuanhu City, which are connected and protected by Xuanhu City. Once something happens, they can arrive overnight. Therefore, the goods and supplies in Xuanhu City are piled up like mountains, and people around him dare not make any decisions."
"Is the fierce civilian army the idea of Xuanhu City?" Shi Qing couldn't help asking.
Zhou Fang thought carefully and said, "It's hard to say. But this is true, it's a good thing for us. There are all kinds of specialties in the north and south in Xuanhu City; if we take advantage of the chaos to grab a fortune, life will be much better."
"real?"
"Yes! If this is true, it would be a good thing."
"Do it!"
Zhou Fang's words made the eyes of bandits, refugees and traitors glow and were extremely excited.
Shi Qing was speechless. Whose people did he bring?
With Zhou Fang's explanation, this miscellaneous army was much more stable. Since the government army had no intention of attacking, they were happy to go on and try to see if there was a chance to enter Xuanhu City and rob.
Two days later, under the "hint" of the government army, they crossed the Ru River from twenty miles west of Xuanhu City and then went east along the Ru River. At this time, the matter was clear, and the fierce civilian army came to Xuanhu City. Everyone was ready to take advantage of the chaos to do something; Shi Qing felt a burst of uneasy.
Why did the Fierce Minjun let them attack Xuanhu City? It is obvious that the "rebels" were to take the blame. The wealth of the Fierce Minjun fell into the hands of the Fierce Minjun, and the charges were carried by the "rebels".
If this continues, will the rebels have a way out? The court encircled and suppressed the clans, revenge the forts and villages, and the two thousand people became "rats crossing the street".
No! You can't bear this bad reputation at will.
Shi Qing had just made up his mind when he suddenly heard the sound of the horns of the sky in the West and the South. He looked up and saw that the pursuers who had been in a tacit understanding suddenly turned against each other and attacked from both directions.
Before the pursuers arrived, the rain of arrows poured out first, without any mercy.
"His grandma's! Scorpion! They are really good at it." Si Yang cursed and his eyes began to become congested.
I want us to take the blame! I think beautifully!
