Bai Xiangru said: "Because this is not in line with the thinking habits of the people in the rivers and lakes, if it is a person who is generally mixed in the rivers and lakes, no matter how resourceful this person is, whether it is called 'Sai Zhuge 'or 'Xiao Wuhou', most of them will measure the trend of the battle situation by the strength of both the enemy and us." ”

Because they are afraid that the order will not be passed, this kind of person will also plan the time of action, the number of people to act, and the place of action in advance. This is followed by a hard attack. And this strategist still gives such orders to this day, which is completely inconsistent with the habits of ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, but more in line with the strategists in the military who are accustomed to playing with the hearts of the military. It's like, in the Qin and Han dynasties, Han Xin's 'embattled brother'. ”

"If the old man thinks well, this strategist is likely to use such vague news to determine whether there are ghosts in Youlan Villa, so as to clean it up. Furthermore, at present, Xuanyi seems to be able to only defend passively, and it is very likely that if he can't wait for the enemy for a long time, the army's morale will fluctuate, so that he can catch us off guard. ”

Mo Xichao nodded, suddenly smiled, and said, "What Mr. Xiangru said is good, it is very likely that this is the case." In this way, what we have to face is a strategist who is accustomed to the layout of the army, and this kind of person is the most difficult. It seems that we should also change our strategy, well, Zhi'an once said that the best defense is offense. ”

"And I think the best way to attack is to know when the opponent is attacking and where to attack. In this way, you can strike before they can achieve the effect of maximizing benefits. And if you strike early, it will arouse the vigilance of the other party. ”

"It is likely that after the chaos of the battle, the opponent throws a piece that we did not expect, which will have great destructive power. But if it is later, Xuanyi will inevitably relax in the long-term tense situation, and in that case, it is possible to be caught off guard by them, resulting in heavy losses. In that case, we will be led by the nose by the other......"

Speaking of this, Mo Xi smiled at Hehe and kept his mouth shut, much more relaxed than before. Not being able to guess what the other party is thinking is the most terrifying, and since it has been understood at this time, there is nothing to worry about.

Bai Xiangru shook his head and said, "That being said, but cherish the dynasty, you should understand that the strategists in the army always like to control everything within their own layout. Sometimes it is difficult for them to adapt to any change that they did not expect. Therefore, this kind of person can only become a strategist, not a manager. ”

"And now you are the commander of the entire Xuanyi operation, and you can't use their thinking to make the layout. In that case, it's too passive. Therefore, the old man's suggestion is that this strategist should be dealt with by the old man, and you, as long as you take care of the overall situation, I don't know, what do you think?"

Mo Xichao nodded with a smile and said, "But there is Mr. Lao Xiangru." But I don't know, in the face of such a military scheme, what is the best strategy for Mr. Xiangru?"

Bai Xiangru said: "First of all, we must find out how he allows a group of loose people to unify their command when the war is approaching when they are not clear about when they will act and where the goal of the action is." ”

Mo Xichao nodded lightly and said, "That is to say, to achieve this step, at the gathering point of each of their actions, there will be one or several very prestigious people to suppress others, and this kind of person, whether it is their own strength or fame, is above others." ”

Bai Xiangru nodded and said, "The second thing to figure out is what is the order for their unified action? Is it to use carrier pigeons to send messages, or fireworks to send messages? And how many people are attacking each gathering point of the palace? We don't know anything about this kind of news now." ”

Mo Xichao said: "Presumably it is not a carrier pigeon, in today's capital, carrier pigeons cannot send a message." ”

Bai Xiangru said: "Indeed, it is very likely to be fireworks, if it is fireworks, then it can be inferred that they should have acted at night." But there is a problem, it is the first month of the New Year, it is just after the New Year's Festival, there must be a lot of people who set off fireworks at night, how to determine which fireworks is the means for them to spread the message?"

Mo Xichao frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "That's true, now it seems that we can only wait for news from Liu Qi or the Xuantu who sneaked into Youlan." However, since the other party took this opportunity to clean up the internal spies, I am afraid that Xuantu's life will be very difficult. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he saw Dongfang Zhuo push the door in, hurriedly walked to the two of them, and hurriedly said, "There is news from Xuantu." ”

As soon as these words came out, Mo and Bai were both shocked, and Bai Xiangru asked, "What news?"

Dongfang Zhuo's face was discouraged, and he sighed: "It's not good news. ”

As he spoke, he handed them a note.

After the two circulated it to each other, Bai Xiangru said with an ugly face: "It's very bad news, the seventy-two Xuantu who sneaked in, I'm afraid it's really bad luck." ”

Mo Xichao frowned and nodded, and said, "It's not just that I'm afraid, I should have been secretly executed by them." ”

Dongfang Zhuo's face was very ugly, and he sighed: "These Xuan Rabbits who lurk in Youlan will send news to the contact point every seven days, and there are a large number of people, basically different people will send messages every day. But three days, three whole days, no news has come out, which in itself is not good news. And at the contact point of the 'Yellow River Hero' Lu Manjie, now he only receives half a piece of bloody cloth......"

Speaking of this, Dongfang Zhuo glared and said angrily: "Two years of hard work have come to naught!"

Mo Xichao immediately said, "That contact point should be abolished as soon as possible." ”

Dongfang Zhuo sighed: "It has been abolished, and for this one contact point, three more Xuantu rabbits have been lost. ”

Bai Xiangru's mood was not very good, he sat on the chair, rubbed his temples, and said, "This opponent is really difficult." ”

Mo Xichao smiled slightly, and said, "Isn't there no news from Liu Qi's side yet?" This is also good news for us, and the two of you don't have to worry too much. ”

……

Noon

Fu'an County Palace

A pigeon crunt in a side courtyard sounded "cooing".

Under the heavy snowfall, the courtyard was full of pigeon cages, and thousands of pigeons were shivering from the cold.

There was a white-robed scholar with a bird food bowl in his hand, and he was taking care of the pigeons.

He is very skillful in his movements, and when he plucks bird food, it is as if he is a bird-handling style that has been serving birds for a long time, and people can't find the slightest fault.

Just as he had fed the ninety-ninth pigeon, the gate was pushed open.

Jiang Hanyu stepped in, walked up to him, didn't speak, and watched him raise pigeons.

The scholar didn't seem to pay attention to his arrival, and was still very focused on sprinkling food in front of each pigeon cage.

After half a ring, Jiang Hanyu asked: "The old man is a little confused, since the New Year's Festival, the sky above this capital has been covered with harrier eagles raised in Xuanyi, and it is impossible for carrier pigeons to pass on books, why do you still raise so many pigeons? Bai Xiaoyou, can you solve your doubts?"

This question made the scholar stop moving, sighed, and when he turned around, it was Bai Xiaosheng!

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said: "Because I like pigeons, because pigeons have spirituality." The Snow Eagle was an eagle and could shoot into the sky, but the lower one was just a pigeon that survived under the talons of a harrier eagle, or a pigeon that had no home. Now that the sky above this capital is full of harrier eagles, why not take in these same kind of people and protect their lives?"

Jiang Hanyu smiled and said, "Bai Xiaoyou is too humble, if Bai Xiaoyou is a pigeon, it is also a pigeon that eats eagles." ”

Bai Xiaosheng said: "Because this pigeon has lived long enough, it can eat eagles." ”

Jiang Yuhan smiled: "Then you want to eat the old man?"

Bai Xiaosheng also smiled and said, "Bai only eats the eagle that he can swallow, the predecessor is a snow eagle on the Tianshan Mountain, and Bai doesn't have that ability." Don't talk about that, senior, have those people been dealt with?"

Jiang Hanyu nodded, sighed, and said, "I really didn't expect that in the past few years, so many Xuanyi have infiltrated 'Youlan', if it weren't for Bai Xiaoyou's fake news, I am afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable." ”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled: "In other words, the strategy under the plan works, take the money." ”

Jiang Hanyu laughed, took out a golden ticket from his arms, handed it to Bai Xiaosheng, and said, "This is 50,000 taels of gold." ”

Bai Xiaosheng took the ticket in his hand, and asked puzzledly, "It seems to be 100,000 taels, right?"

Jiang Hanyu smiled and said: "Another 50,000 taels, on Jiang, if Bai Xiaoyou still wants other gold, please continue to lay it out." ”

Bai Xiaosheng laughed, threw aside the bird food bowl in his hand, clapped his hands, and said, "The layout in the future will be more than 100,000 taels, and it will have to be calculated separately." If there is no money, Bai can only leave. ”

Jiang Hanyu snorted and sneered, and said: "Bai Xiaoyou's business is too familiar, at this time, Youlan has already moved according to Bai Xiaoyou's layout, if Bai Xiaoyou leaves, how should you let me wait?"

Bai Xiaosheng sat down at the stone table for a long time, picked up the small purple sand teapot on it, took a sip, and said, "Bai only recognizes money, and the others have nothing to do with it." Xueying's predecessor still handed over another 50,000 taels to Bai, which was the income from this transaction. As for the following, let's talk about it again. ”

Jiang Hanyu sneered: "You're not afraid that I will kill you?"

Bai Xiaosheng shook his head and said, "Seniors don't dare to kill me." ”

Jiang Hanyu asked, "How can you see it?" The old man is just a guest of the Dong family, and it is normal for him to leave. But before that, the old man killed you just to calm the thoughts in his heart. ”

Bai Xiaosheng shook his head and said, "The seniors didn't dare to kill me because of ......"

Speaking of this, Bai Xiaosheng lifted the teapot in his hand slightly, and said with a joking face: "Because you have determined it, you just don't dare." ”

Jiang Hanyu smiled and said, "The old man doesn't count as killing people in this life, what are you a Bai Xiaosheng?"
