Chapter Thirty-Seven: Dead Lips and Cold Teeth

"Two hundred against a thousand?" Xiao Zilong was a little incredulous, which was a bit exaggerated no matter how you looked at it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qingying smiled, "I didn't say that I wanted two hundred people to attack Mingcheng directly, but I wanted to use these two hundred people to beat our name, so that two hundred people would become thousands, and then attack Mingcheng." ”

Puzzled by everyone, Qingying explained, "Actually, this is also the problem that my senior brother and I have been discussing, that is, how and where to fight our first battle. At present, our troops are insufficient, whether it is the three cities of the Central Plains or the water city, the surrounding rogues, all the heroes and powerful are staring at each other, the troops are more than enough to defend the city, and the siege is insufficient. So we must recruit! However, the current situation is too chaotic, and all localities are enriching their troops, and if we get a good start and beat the name of the three princes, it will be greatly beneficial to recruit troops. ”

Qingying said and chuckled, "Of course, it's not that you can't catch the strong man, but the people who are forced to come here will be somewhat resistant, and it is better to be loyal to those who come spontaneously." The so-called 'skin does not have hair will be attached', 'benevolence' is the skin, the people will be embraced, and the army composed of people who come here will have a stable military heart. With a good foundation and a little training, these people can form a strong army! Compared with finding a way to win people's hearts in the later stage, it saves the complexity. ”

Huangfu Qianchong couldn't help nodding when he listened, Qingying's recruitment is indeed very useful to buy people's hearts! Although it is not as fast as directly arresting people to expand the army, it has a lot of stamina!

Moreover, under such a banner, it is easier for them to subdue the enemy army.

"Here's what I'm going to do." Qingying said, tapping her finger lightly on the map, "Let's attack the closest city to Dragon Castle first!" ”

"Jasmine City?" Huangfu Qian raised his eyebrows and clasped his hands around his chest, "In addition to being close to the Crazy Dragon Castle, this city is also at odds with Mingcheng in terms of location. But it's a pity that the group of mountain bandits who occupied Jasmine City have a grudge against the group that occupied Mingcheng, and they will not take the initiative to ask for help, so this corner is useless. ”

"Exactly!" Qingying said and smiled at Huangfu Qianchong.

When Tianyou attacked, the defenders of Mingcheng abandoned the city and fled, and the nearby mountain bandits took the opportunity to capture Mingcheng. However, although the defenders of the city were leaderless, they would not give the city away easily, so when these mountain bandits captured Mingcheng, they also suffered heavy casualties.

I never thought that after the praying mantis catching cicadas and sparrows, they had not yet sat on a hot stool in Mingcheng, and they were immediately blackened by another group of mountain bandits, and had to retreat to Jasmine City.

This is the source of the contradiction between the bandits in the two cities.

Qing Ying continued, "The number of mountain bandits who occupied Jasmine City is almost seven hundred, the number seems to be quite a lot, but most of them are remnants of the defeated army, our brothers of Crazy Dragon Castle are strong and healthy, and it is no problem to take Jasmine City with two hundred people!" ”

Xiao Zilong nodded, his eyes flashed, "That's true, my brother of the Crazy Dragon Castle is not at all defeated compared to the elite soldiers of the Four Frontier Army!" "And there are many martial arts masters among them!

"Take Jasmine City, we will use 200 people to capture the city of 700 people as a gimmick, announce to the world, with the three princes as the first priority to recover our Liuyu Jiangshan, and at the same time send out the news of conscription in the three cities of the Central Plains, Water City, and Jasmine City, and solve the problem of recruiting troops."

Qingying pursed the corners of her mouth as she spoke, "After capturing Jasmine City, this Ming City will become a lonely city, the so-called, 'auxiliary cars depend on each other, and the lips and teeth are cold' is what it means." Moreover, after we capture Jasmine City, if they want to send troops to fight, they will have to weigh whether they will be raided by other forces, and this possibility is very small.

Of course, even if we make a name for ourselves, we will not be able to immediately increase our forces. Therefore, the move of recruiting troops is actually a bluff. The purpose is to make the mountain bandits in Mingcheng feel in crisis, because we take Jasmine City, and the next target must be them! ”

Nangong Ao listened and couldn't help laughing, "Attacking the heart is the first, being stared at all the time, but you can't get rid of the other party, this feeling is not ordinary disgusting." ”

"When we are almost done recruiting troops, we will surround Mingcheng, and this city will be self-defeating!" Huangfu Qianchong took the words, raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Nangong Ao.

Both of them read a hint of interest in each other's eyes, and both seemed to be confident in this battle.

"Yes!" Qingying nodded, "We will surround Mingcheng and release goodwill to them at the same time, the hearts of the people are not aligned, and it is only a matter of time before they surrender." However, the mountain bandits in Mingcheng know how to let others attack Mingcheng first, and attack when the opponent's defense is the weakest at the beginning of the capture of Mingcheng, which shows that there must be someone who understands in this group of mountain bandits! If someone in Mingcheng sees farther away and takes the initiative to send a force of two or three hundred people to rescue us, it will not be a good thing for us, so we must attack Jasmine City quickly! It's best to have taken Jasmine City when the mountain bandits in Mingcheng reacted. ”

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." Xiao Zilong said and wrinkled his eyebrows, "Between Jasmine City and Ming City, it only takes half an hour to go back and forth at the earliest, which means that we must capture Jasmine City within half an hour, which is... It's a bit mysterious."

"That's true." Qingying said and sighed, "So, how to capture Jasmine City, I haven't thought of the best way for the time being. ”

"Don't worry, don't push yourself too hard!" Huangfu Qianchong smiled at her, "Now that we have a preliminary plan, at least in terms of direction, we are very clear, and in this way, we can avoid detours." ”

He paused and looked at everyone, "Is there anything else you think is inappropriate?" If so, let's discuss it together. ”

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

"It seems that we all agree with Qingying's words." Huangfu Qianchong smiled and nodded at Qingying.

"No matter what my cousin says, it always makes people feel believable inexplicably!" Xia Ziyou said and sighed, "Cousin, don't you know, before General Mao and I escorted His Highness to the Crazy Dragon Castle, whatever I said along the way, His Highness had to think twice before making a decision." ”

"Yo! Are you kid complaining about me now? Huangfu Qianchong only felt that he couldn't cry or laugh.

"How dare you! You are His Royal Highness the Third Prince. ”

Huangfu Qianchong rolled his eyes, shook his head with a smile, he didn't regard him as the third prince here, and he still regarded him as Fu Qianyu's this kid! I'm embarrassed to say this.

"Speaking of which, why didn't you see General Mao?" Kiyoying asked.

"Brother Mao accompanies Ruyi them!" Nangong Ao replied.

Qing Ying nodded when she heard this, no wonder General Qin came to her with such confidence.

"That's it! I think it's almost time, and it's almost time to eat. Huangfu Qianchong patted Nangong Ao's shoulder, "How is it!" I haven't seen you for a long time, how about you two catch up with me tonight? ”

"Your Highness has spoken, can you not be a courtier?" Nangong Ao pursed his lips, looking like he was knowingly asking.

Qingying listened to Nangong Ao's ridicule, and couldn't help grinning.

Seeing that everyone is no longer so restrained about themselves, the bitterness in Huangfu Qianchong's heart has finally disappeared, it seems that their worries are superfluous, and they still treat him as a friend in their hearts! That's it...... (To be continued.) )
