That night, he found Li Xuzhong and asked Li Xuzhong to hand over a few people who had authority and could be trusted. ◢ With ◢ Dream ◢ Xiao ◢ said Щщш.suimeng.lā Soon, Li Xuzhong brought five people, including the hunter who quarreled with others today.
Li Xuzhong first introduced these five people:
The name of the hunter is Wang Shanwu, who has been hunting for half his life, and he began to design traps to catch birds when he was playing with mud;
Another thin man named Li Shuping, is Li Xuzhong's fellow clan, and Li Xunzhong once studied in a clan school, and was also promoted as a Xie Shi by the county minister, who was originally going to take the state examination, but it happened to be the southern invasion of the Jin people that year, so that he has not had a chance with the imperial examination. Because everyone thinks his name is too girly, they all call him Li Xiucai directly.
There is also a person named Wang Kui, who is often silent, but he works very hard to get things done, and belongs to the type that talks less and does more.
The last one is Li Xuzhong's brother-in-law, named Huang Feng, but the tragedy is that the wives of both of them were killed when they fled south. This person is very short, but he is very strong, a bit like a combination of Wu Dalang and Wu Erlang, and he speaks in that heroic and uninhibited tone.
Zhou Bo nodded and said, "Very good, Brother Li, the person you can trust, naturally I can trust." He turned to the others, and then said, "I am in a hurry for you to come, so naturally there is something important to discuss. Everyone has also seen that the place where we live has indeed been settled, but we still can't eat enough every day, and there is a conflict for this!"
When Wang Shanwu heard this, he immediately shouted injustice: "Boss, boss, this ............ Naturally, I can't blame me, my daughter-in-law has recently fallen ill, and my child is just two years old, so I have worked hard to hunt. Can't he give more to his daughter-in-law and children? Then Wang Liulang said lightly, so why didn't he go to find food himself. ”
Zhou Bo smiled slightly and said, "Okay, okay, I don't mean to blame anyone for this matter." If I really want to blame. I stepped in when you were arguing. The reason I mention this is just to remind you that if we continue like this, we will only be trapped here. ”
When Wang Shanwu heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he also heard what Zhou Bo meant, and quickly asked, "Boss, aren't you going to do anything?"
The others are also in good spirits, although they are not afraid to eat and sleep in the mountains and wilderness, but if they can't eat enough every day, sooner or later people will collapse.
Li Xuzhong couldn't help but say, "Boss, you say, our brothers have been waiting for this time for a long time. ”
Zhou Bo nodded and said calmly: "That's right, I have already thought of an action." And nine times out of ten. As long as everyone can cooperate well in this operation and obey my orders, I guarantee that everyone will have meat to eat and new clothes to wear during the Chinese New Year this year!"
Wang Shanwu's eyes widened, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said again and again: "Is this true?"
Zhou Bo smiled mysteriously and said, "If you risk death to let me out, will I still be ungrateful to lie to you?" ”
Wang Shanwu laughed and said, "Of course we believe in Boss Zhou. Boss, tell me first. What kind of idea is it for the brothers to do so?"
Zhou Bo adjusted his thoughts for a moment and said in an orderly manner: "I decided to lead the brothers to the city to rob, of course. There is a need to make some preparation before the robbery, and the preparation stage is the most important, and the success or failure of the move lies in this move. ”
Li Xuzhong asked again and again: "Robbing the city, Ezhou City?"
Zhou Bo shook his head and said with a smile: "Ezhou City is too big, let's go rob there." It's too difficult. And you have to figure it out that there are as many as seven or eight troops in the entire Ezhou land, and there is no idea here for the time being. ”
Li Xuzhong nodded, but still asked suspiciously: "Then where are we robbing?" In addition to Ezhou, that is Yingzhou, but Yingzhou is just a small county town, and the Qi army also stationed as many as 50,000 troops there, this, this ............ Isn't it going to be too difficult?"
Zhou Bo smiled and said, "Brother Li, you really still have brains. That's right, Ezhou and Yingzhou are in a state of confrontation, and they are also the first line of fire in the war, so these two places are heavily guarded, and if we go to rob these two places, it will be a self-defeating end. ”
Li Xuzhong heard Zhou Bo praise himself, and hurriedly smiled embarrassedly, and at the same time, he also knew that since Zhou Bo said so, he naturally had a plan, so he asked, "Then where are we going?"
Zhou Bo said solemnly: "Suizhou!"
Li Xuzhong and the others looked at each other, they were people from the north, and naturally they didn't know much about the geography of Jingnan Road, and no one knew very well whether Suizhou was worth robbing and whether it was dangerous.
Wang Shanwu hesitated for a while and asked, "What about that............ Boss, how far is this Suizhou from here?"
Zhou Bo said: "I am from Xiangyang Mansion, so I naturally know Suizhou." Suizhou is only about one hundred and eighty miles away from Ezhou, although it is now occupied by the Qi army, but the army of the Qi army is pressed in Xiangyang City and Yingzhou City, Suizhou is just located in the middle of Xiangyang City and Yingzhou City A town, the Qi army is naturally more neglected. ”
Li Xuzhong, Wang Shanwu, Li Xiucai, and Chen Chuan all nodded thoughtfully. At this time, Wang Kuifa, who had been silent, asked, "Boss, how can you be sure that Suizhou does not have many troops?"
Zhou Bo sank and said: "Qi Gou's total strength in Xiangyang Mansion does not exceed 200,000, and Xiangyang Mansion is a geographical point, connecting the east and west ends of the Yangtze River. Now the Qi army has 50,000 troops in Yingzhou in order to guard against Ezhou, of course, this number is still conservative, maybe more, and there are at least 100,000 troops in Xiangyang City, because it is necessary to guard against Jiangling Mansion. In addition to these two important towns, there are still four state cities to defend, and the remaining troops are less than 40,000. If it were you, how would you distribute it?"
Wang Kui didn't speak, but Chen Chuan smiled and said smartly: "Each state will send 10,000 people." ”
Li Xuzhong glanced at Wang Kui and said: "You are talking nonsense, the distribution of troops is also particular, our boss used to be a general, and he led soldiers, don't play a big knife in front of Guan Gong, are you ashamed?"
Chen Chuan smiled innocently and begged for mercy: "Good brother, I'm just talking about it casually." ”
Zhou Bo smiled. didn't care, but admired Wang Kui and Li Xuzhong very much. Wang Kui is not light, he doesn't know things, and Li Xuzhong is a bit of a brain. He continued: "If it were me, I would send 20,000 troops to garrison the Gwanghwa Army. Send 8,000 troops to garrison Junzhou, and the rest will be more than 1,000 troops to defend it. ”
Chen Chuan asked again, "But, why?"
Zhou Bo said: "It's very simple, the Guanghua Army and Junzhou are connected to the puppet Qi country, and they also serve as the rear channel for the Qi army in Xiangyang Prefecture. When this passage is attacked, it is a grain route. When retreating, it is the only way to return to the puppet Qi country. This is the most important thing. If someone breaks off the Guanghua Army and Junzhou, the Qi Army of Xiangyang Mansion will be the turtle in the urn. ”
Everyone suddenly realized and said yes.
Li Xuzhong nodded again and again and said: "Boss Zhou is really strategic, and he gave us a lesson in military theory in a snap of his fingers, which is very good." ”
Zhou Bo smiled indifferently and said modestly: "But everyone who fights understands that there is no need to exaggerate so much. I continued, so it can be seen that Suizhou has important towns to guard both ends of the east and west, so there are naturally not many troops. More importantly, it has been close in recent years. Pseudo-Qi people will also be homesick, and it is inevitable that there will be times of desertion, and it is during this period that it is most beneficial for us to act. ”
After listening to Zhou Bo's description, everyone was excited, and suddenly felt that this vote was secure. They nodded their heads again and again, indicating that they were absolutely willing to do this operation.
Zhou Bo took a slow breath, his tone was stern, and he said, "Brothers, don't be too happy, even if there are only less than 1,000 garrisons in Suizhou. There are only a few hundred of us, young and old, and we are hungry these days, and the number of people we want is not as good as the number. To equip is not to be equipped, and to be more powerful than not to be strengthened. If we're a little careless, we won't be able to eat and walk around. ”
Li Xuzhong, Wang Shanwu and the others immediately retracted their excitement just now, and looked a little dignified.
Zhou Bo continued: "So, you must follow my instructions and not make a mistake. ”
Li Xuzhong immediately said: "Don't worry. Boss Zhou, what you say to do, let's do it. ”
So, Zhou Bo told all his plans. The reason why he said that the key to the whole operation lies in the preliminary preparation, that is, because in this operation, it is necessary to incite the people of Suizhou to riot, and only when there is chaos can they be caught off guard. In fact, the places occupied by the Qi people are often poor for the people, and the Qi army is bandits, fighting for hegemony and robbing and grabbing, making the people in all territories miserable.
Otherwise, when the six counties of Xiangyang Mansion fell, there would not be so many ordinary people who would flee with the Song army even if they died.
Therefore, as long as you can send people to spread rumors, even if you make up a few lies, you can have a high chance of encouraging the people of Suizhou to rise up against the rule of the Qi army.
In addition, if the people of Suizhou rebelled, these ordinary people would definitely not dare to stay in Suizhou anymore, because they also knew that even if they drove out the Qi army stationed in Suizhou, the Qi army would fight back sooner or later. Therefore, these people can only continue to flee, and at this time, they can also absorb more refugee teams by the way, and when the time comes, they will have more places to grab, and they will not be afraid of starvation.
Zhou Bo finished talking about his plan, and he was thinking about the others to take a look, but he saw that their expressions were really a little difficult. He smiled slightly and asked, "What, you retreated?"
Wang Shanwu shook his head and said: "Boss, it's not that we're cowardly, it's that we don't know how to incite Suizhou at all, if this block is not done well, then we will lose everything." ”
Chen Chuan also sighed and said, "It's difficult!
The others nodded their heads, they didn't have any confidence at all.
Zhou Bo said: "Very good, at least you are not as blind as you were just now, and you can see your own shortcomings clearly." But it doesn't matter, since I came up with this idea, it is only natural that I have to think it through. Incitement requires skill, but the most important thing is to look at the crowd. It would be in vain if you were to stir up the old beggars who were dying, and you should think of the outlaws and the moderately rich in the city. ”
Li Xuzhong asked: "It's right to be an outlaw, but how can a rich family follow us?"
Zhou Bo said with a smile: "When the Qi people occupy a place, the first thing they have to do is to rob, the rich may have run away in advance, and even if they didn't run, they may have colluded with the Qi army, although they can't be contacted." The moderately rich may have been almost looted now, but they have a large door, a large population, and a deep grudge, and if you can say that they can break out, it will be a great force. ”
He paused, then continued: "You also know that there will always be some famous families in a county, and this is the case of the moderately rich families I am talking about, and they can play a leading role. Because of the fame they have accumulated on weekdays, when they raise their arms, they will respond to every call. ”
Li Xuzhong nodded approvingly, but still said suspiciously: "Then, but, if they wanted to resist, they would have done it themselves a long time ago, and they didn't have to wait until today." Let's just talk about letting them riot, will they do it?"
Zhou Bo said: "I'm free, you come here, I'll talk to you in detail." ”
So, everyone got together and began to listen to Zhou Bo teach him the skills of incitement and the lies he made, and of course some details of his actions-
After a long night of discussion, it was discussed and ready. In the afternoon of the next day, Zhou Bo asked Li Xiucai and Wang Kui to leave the hidden mountain nest with more than 20 people and go to Suizhou, the purpose of which was to spread rumors in Suizhou City. Although the journey to Suizhou is not close, and they have to pass through Yingzhou along the way, but these people are already ragged and poor, and the weather is cold, so Qi Jun naturally doesn't bother to pay attention to these people who have no oil and water.
After Li Xiucai and his party left, Zhou Bo recruited all the other young men and began to work hard to store food. Because they are about to go to Suizhou to do something big, it may take several days, and the women and old people who stay in the mountain nest will have something to eat, and no one will take care of it at that time, but they are afraid that something will happen.
Three days later, Zhou Bo gathered a few days' worth of food, left five young people here, and then took the remaining two hundred or so people to Suizhou in batches.
Suizhou is a small county town, only slightly larger than Sizhou. However, because Suizhou City is a transportation hub connecting Xiangyang and Wuhan, it can be regarded as a model after decades of development. It's just that after the arrival of the Qi army, the place almost returned to its original state overnight. At present, if there are good people living in the houses in Suizhou City, it must be the soldiers of the Qi army, whether they are men, women or children, incompetent, rich and poor, as long as they are not related to the generals of the Qi army, they are all killed, driven away, and plundered.
On the streets of the entire urban area of Suizhou County, homeless people and starving people can be seen everywhere. Now that the weather is cold, many famine people are either freezing to death or starving to death, anyway, it is not hot weather, and the Qi army in the city doesn't care that the corpses will spread the plague, so they don't bother to pay attention to it.
