Chapter 164: Poison Scheme
"What? Gongsun Chan chased Zhang Ju? When Ma Qiang learned that Gongsun Chan actually went to chase Zhang Ju and did not come back all night, it was already dawn.
"Strategist, are we going to send troops to Yuyang immediately?" Ma Qiang turned around and asked.
Duan Ying shook his head and said, "Zhang Ju has become a frightened bird, Gongsun Changshi's command is all elite, it is very likely to be broken in a battle, even if it is defeated by the Yuyang defenders, it will not be defeated, and now our army should immediately return to Jixian County!" ”
"Reinforcements?" Ma Qiang was stunned for a moment, this word means that Jixian Dazhai is in danger.
"Last night's scuffle, there were no less than hundreds of escapees, here is Tongxian down the Gushui River, I think at the latest at noon, there will be deserters to Tongxian, at the latest tonight evening, Cheng Zhiyuan will attack our army camp."
Ma Qiang looked at Duan Ying who seemed to be talking about a trivial matter in a daze, since you thought that this would happen, you actually persuaded yourself to only let a hundred sergeants in the big camp, but fortunately you didn't agree.
No, this Ying seems to have thought of this a long time ago.
"Duan Ying, did you expect this? Then why did you persuade me to bluff with only a hundred sergeants? ”
"The art of war, the siege of the city, Tong County and Ji County into a corner, such as our army to attack, it takes a month to get it, it must be transferred out of the city, if there are only a hundred soldiers, the thief army probes, there are many flaws, and it will be successful.
The thief army attacked the camp, according to the British plan, our army lost no more than 100 people, as for the people, most of them were young and strong in Changping, not our battalion's descendants, these people were killed, which was beneficial and harmless to us. ”
"That's human life! And those people are willing to risk staying in the empty camp because they trust me, and when they die, how can it be called beneficial and harmless? ”
"Changping is so big, almost all the wasteland around it has been acquired by the Ming Gong, and after the Ming Gong pacifies the thief army, where can I find land to reward the sergeant? If there is no land, no amount of money can bind the hearts of these soldiers! Ming Gong, Tian is the place where the heart of the army is stationed! ”
Duan Ying's tone was joyless and sad, as if he was saying something very simple, Ma Qiang was stunned for a moment, and his mind couldn't turn around.
How can this still be justified by him.
Ma Qiang actually listened to Duan Ying's words, and understood Duan Ying's thoughts, Duan Ying was indeed thinking about himself, the Red Star Camp is not a traditional grange, the field is actually very small per capita, and when the battle is over, how to reward these meritorious soldiers is the biggest problem, according to the tradition from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, military merit is the right way, and the most important thing for the sergeant to reward is the field, with the field, the sergeant will not defect, and will be loyal to the dynasty or warlord who gave them the field.
The problem of land and food is always the core issue of the Central Plains Dynasty, if you want an army to be loyal forever, giving land is the best way, and the reason why those big families can have private troops is also because they have a large amount of land in their hands.
Ma Qiang needs land, but if he wants to increase the amount of land that can be owned and distributed by reducing a large number of people, isn't it still caught in the whirlpool of chaos, then what is the point of Ma Qiang coming to this world.
"Military advisor, do something and don't do anything, I understand your thoughts, but what I want is to protect the people, defend the people, such a poisonous plan will never work in the future!" Ma Qiang turned his back, his voice was a little cold, and then shouted to the sergeant on the side, "Order all battalions to assemble and prepare to return to Jixian!" ”
Duan Ying laughed behind Ma Qiang, the problem of the field is a problem that Ma Qiang will have to solve sooner or later, Ma Qiang has now given up killing the people and taking the land, so there is only the road left to kill the people and take the land.
I want to solve the land problem without bloodshed.
Wake up, it's dawn.
"Ming Gong is in a hurry, now there are 2,000 county soldiers in the camp of Jixian County, and Cheng Zhiyuan can't attack it for a while, so he will inevitably let Tongxian send troops to attack from both sides.
Ming Gong can send Yan Rou to ambush five miles west of Tongxian County, see the thief army to the east to cover and kill, and then order the first army to change into the Yellow Turban thief army's clothes and armor, ambush outside Tongxian County, and wait for the thief army to retreat into the city when it blends in, inside and outside the attack, to avoid the first to get Tongxian.
At that time, as long as the Tongxian thief army throws the flag in front of Cheng Zhiyuan's army, its military morale will be in chaos, and our army can protect the victory! ”
"But where did we get the Yellow Turban Army's armor?"
"Ying had already asked the battalion commander Xianyu to prepare it when he came."
Gotta just wait for the show.
"In addition, Ming Gong, although Zhang Ju is defeated, there is also Zhang Chun in Youbeiping, and he should send an army to map him!"
"No, military advisor, we are just this person, and we beat Cheng Zhiyuan and Zhang Chun, this person is not enough."
"To deal with Zhang Chun's soldiers and horses are already on the way, as long as Ming Gong sends a lobbyist."
"What do you mean?" Ma Qiang thought about it, he seemed to have no soldiers.
"Although Qiu Liju has a rebellion, but his heart is not strong, from Zhang Ju's self-proclaimed Son of Heaven, it is Zhang Ju who is really ready to rebel, my Han Dynasty has been powerful in the world for 400 years, and countless people have been destroyed, how can Qiu Liju not be afraid? On the contrary, it was just because Guo Xun and others were too squeezed, the clan lacked money and food, and saw that the yellow turban was in chaos, and there was a gap to take advantage of.
Now the Ming Gong is the history of the assassination, and he has been kind to him at the time of the black plague, but he can write a letter, Chen Qi is powerful, tempt the border market, and then throw Zhang Ju to show him the flag, he will inevitably return to the Han Dynasty, and then he can be ordered to fight with Zhang Chun, and atone for his crimes, and our army can pacify these two soldiers and horses without a single soldier. ”
"This lobbyist?" Ma Qiang and Duan Ying looked at the fox slave city together, as if there was a Taoist chief who was still in the city and had not come out.
"Acher!!" Gan Shi, who was studying the hot air balloon, sneezed fiercely, rubbed his nose, and muttered, "It seems that the sky is cold... This is really exciting to say, if you let my senior brother know, you have to envy me to death! ”
- Jixian County
"What? Ma Qiang went to fight Zhang Ju? What is out of the city? Cheng Zhiyuan looked at the defeated soldiers of Zhang Ju who was sent over by Tongxian, and only felt that his head was a little insufficient, wasn't he blocked by Ma Qiang? What about people! And what about a large group of people?
"This... This villain doesn't know, but our majesty was really defeated by that Ma Qiang's sneak attack, by the way, there are Wuhuan people, Wuhuan people are also attacking us! ”
"Wuhuan people?" Cheng Zhiyuan's eyes rolled, and he recalled the scenes of meeting Ma Qiang in Jixian County in the past.
At that time, it seemed that there were indeed Wuhuan people who stood up for him, and there seemed to be a big nose... A person who looks very.
"Come on, immediately send someone to Dazhai outside the city to see their reality!"
After a while, soldiers came to report, saying that half of the camp was empty, and although there were soldiers in the front army, most of the rear camps were wearing cloth clothes, just holding swords, and they felt more like people.
Cheng Zhiyuan understood now, after a long time, he was fooled by a group of people, and he angrily threw his nine-section staff to the ground.
"Command Tong County, immediately send two thousand troops, and besiege the camp outside the city with our army!"
