Wang Gaiben, the current head of the Wang family in Qi County, is the eldest son of Wang Yun, and once served as a servant for a period of time under Wang Yun's operation.

Wang Yun is talented, and Wang Gai has not learned the advantages of planning and then acting;

But Wang Yun suppressed his fellow clans with affection and self-righteousness, but Wang Gai learned perfectly.

Wang Yun's "plan and then move" has become "first decide and then plan" when Wang Gai arrives.

In addition, the current Wang Gai is the head of the Wang family in Qi County, and the shortcomings of self-righteousness have been shown to the greatest extent.

Therefore, when the Fenwu army and Zeng Tuo's army had just fought in Yangqu County, Wang Gai transferred the 20,000 elites in his manor back to Qi County;

And Wang Gai recruited strong men in Qi County with a large amount of gold, and promised to let these men participate in the war to defend Qi County with high interest.

In this small Qi County, with the efforts of Wang Gai, the number of troops defending the city has reached 30,000.

Although the Fenwu Army has not yet come, the attitude of the Wang family of Qi County has been very clear.

Wang Gai's suppression of the internal talents of the Wang family in Qi County is the essence of his father Wang Yun.

It's just that his father Wang Yun suppressed the talents of the Taiyuan Wang branch, while Wang Gai suppressed the talents within the Wang clan in Qi County.

"The rabbit still doesn't eat the grass next to the nest", but Wang Gai is "the grass of this nest can only be eaten by the rabbits in my room".

His father Wang Yun fiercely suppressed the Taiyuan Wang clan in order to strengthen the Wang clan in Qi County.

The most outstanding talent of the Taiyuan Wang generation, Wang Ze, was originally the Taishou of the Daijun and was transferred to the Taishou of Yanmen County.

During his tenure, he was demoted to a civilian by Wang Yun for a casual reason.

Because of Wang Yun's great power, Wang Ze could only obediently return to Taiyuan County and take over the position of head of the family, usually focusing on handling family affairs.

In the Wang clan of Qi County, there are really not many people of the same generation who are better than Wang Gai in Wang Gai's generation, but Wang Yun's brother Wang Kui's son Wang Ling Wencai is overflowing, and it is the 'star' that is more dazzling than Wang Gai in the Wang clan of Qi County.

After Wang Ling became an adult, he was filial piety and served as the county magistrate of Fagan County, East County, Yanzhou, and Wang Gai used a lot of money to open up the official road and let Wang Ling be sentenced for minor crimes.

Although Wang Gai has a little more shortcomings, he still knows a truth deeply: the contradiction between the Fenwu Army and the Wang clan of Qixian County is irreconcilable.

For one wants to give the land to the people, and the other wants to make the people's land his own.

As a result, Wang Gai continued to rely on the influence and financial resources of the Wang clan in Qi County to recruit troops and horses in Qi County to make the most adequate preparations for the upcoming war.

......

Since Li Ru took over the intelligence battalion of the Fenwu Army, intelligence first has become the first thing when the Fenwu Army sends troops.

As a result, Li Ru sent the main cadre of the intelligence battalion, Jun Hou Baihua, to lead more than 50 soldiers of the intelligence battalion to disguise themselves as grain merchants, and entered Qi County in advance before Wang Gai gathered the 20,000 strong men under his command.

Bai Hua followed Li Ru to the grassland and performed well. After returning, Han Cheng fulfilled his promise and directly promoted him to the position of military officer of the intelligence battalion.

Li Ru admired Bai Hua's flexibility and ability to be a person in all directions, so the intelligence mission of Qi County this time was handed over to Bai Hua.

After Bai Hua arrived in Qi County, the first thing he did was to find a stable residence and generate a stable relationship.

Because Bai Hua knew that Zeng Tuo's army was not the opponent of the Fenwu Army, there would be a big battle under the city of Qixian.

When the time comes, no matter how stupid Wang Gai is, he will investigate the 'outsiders' in Qi County.

I came early and prepared in advance, just so that I would be safe and sound, and provide the right information for the army outside the city at the right time.

This is also the first lesson Li Ru taught to the personnel of the intelligence battalion - "Life is the foundation of everything, so that you can have the opportunity to find out intelligence." ”

After a few days of gift-giving and operation, Bai Hua has transformed into a 'stable grain merchant' with a record in the county government of Qi County.

After the residence and relationship were stabilized, Bai Hua bought off the subordinates and servants of the Wang family in Qi County.

Li Ru once said: "Don't underestimate these subordinates and servants, important information often comes from their mouths." ”

A few days later, Wang Gai gave the order to gather 20,000 able-bodied men under his command.

After Bai Hua got the news from a subordinate in the Wang's mansion in Qi County, he immediately told Fu Zhu, and Fu Zhu immediately sent troops to take Jingling County.

Half a month later, the large army of the Fenwu Army approached the city, and the situation in the city of Qixian became even more tense.

This is a good opportunity for Bai Hua to fish in troubled waters.

But if Bai Hua makes a move, he needs the cover of other forces.

As a result, the second step of Bai Hua's plan - first caused chaos in Qi County, and began to implement the action.

When the army comes, no matter how much food there is in Qi County, it will be extremely tense.

However, Bai Hua prepared a large amount of grain early and used the grain as bait to buy the ruffians and street beggars in Qi County, and let them be used as the 'eyes' and 'mouths' of Bai Hua.

On the one hand, he investigated the turmoil in Qi County for Bai Hua, and on the other hand, spread rumors and spread words that were unfavorable to the rule of Qi County by the Wang clan of Qi County.

"The Fenwu army was brave and invincible, and took the land of the three counties of Taiyuan County in three days; With such combat power, how could the 30,000 sturdy men in Qi County who had just trained not long be able to withstand it? ”

"Yanmen County Taishou Lord Han Cheng is benevolent, every common person in Yanmen County can get a share of the land, and the tax is very low, if the Fenwu army occupies Taiyuan County, the people of our Qi County will enjoy the same treatment as the people of Yanmen County." 。。。。。。

I don't know when such words began to spread in the streets and alleys of Qi County, and as time went on, the people gradually believed these rumors.

This is also Li Ru's second lesson to the personnel of their intelligence battalion - "Be able to say it from other people's mouths, try not to say it yourself, one is dangerous; The second is that it is unreliable to say it. ”

Now Qi County is still in the hands of the Wang family, and these rumors can't make any big waves;

Once the city is broken, these rumors may become the 'last straw' that overwhelms the Wang family in Qi County.

And Wang Gai, the head of the Wang family in Qi County, is still recruiting troops in his own way, completely unaware of the coming danger.

......

Outside the city of Qi County, he looked at the high city wall and the soldiers who were busy on the city wall.

sighed in his heart: "I am too arrogant, when I go to war, I shouldn't say that I will take the Wang clan of Qi County in fifteen days, although the soldiers of the Fenwu Army are not afraid of death, but they can't die in vain."

Only when there is no way out can you attack the city hard, but fortunately, the lord reminded him in time.

It seems that in the future, I will have to learn more from the lord's second uncle, Captain Han Feng, and think carefully about things is the foundation of a strategist. ”

At this moment, Li Ru slowly walked to Fu Zhu's side, with a rare soft look, and said to Fu Zhu: "Long history, is there a way to break the city?" ”

Fu Zhu respected and admired Li Ru very much, and said to Li Ru with a look of asking for advice: "Captain Han, the city of Qi County is very high, and there is enough food in the city, and there are many people guarding the city, so it is not easy to take it." ”

In this era, it is already very good to be able to eat a full meal, and the Wang family of Qi County is arrogant and domineering, and the people are fishy;

But as long as there is enough food in Qixian County, as long as the people can have a bite to eat, no matter whether it is good or bad, no one will rebel, then this city will naturally become a 'strong city'.

Li Ru faced this 'strong city', although there was no good strategy. But Li Ru came not to attack the frustrated, but to give the frustrated credit.

So, Li Rufeng said lightly to Fu Zhu: "Long history, some of the people of my intelligence battalion have been mixed into Qi County.

But when our army arrived, there was no news in the city.

Changshi can retreat back to Jingling County, so that the people in the city can enter and exit freely, and our intelligence battalion can spread the news, and when the time comes, we will be able to take Qi County in one fell swoop. ”

There was already nothing to be done, but after listening to Li Ru's plan, he knew that it was feasible, so he ordered the army to withdraw to Jingling County.

The king of the city was on the top of the city, and when he saw the retreat of the Fenwu army outside the city, he was indescribably happy in his heart, and said happily to the floating clouds on the side: "I know that they will not last long." ”

Fuyun knew that Wang Gai would lose, and it was just a matter of time.

Besides, Fuyun had another plan in his heart, so he followed Wang Gai's words and said: "Brother Wang expected the enemy first, and prepared food and troops in the city in advance, so the enemy army naturally retreated in the face of difficulties. ”

Wang Gai said in his heart: "This Sun Yun is becoming more and more able to speak, although what he says is the truth. ”

Three days later, Wang Gai saw that the Fenwu army had returned to Jingling County, and there was no sign of sending troops to attack Qi County;

In addition, there were many people in the city of Qixian County, and the daily food consumption was a huge amount, so Wang Gai allowed the people to go out of the city, but they were strictly checked at the gate of the city, and they were not allowed to enter;

As for the army, it is still on alert.

On the first day, not a single people went out of the city; On the second day, the people went out of the city in twos and threes. It wasn't until the third day that Bai Hua arranged for a clever 'buddy' to go to Yangqu County to report the news.

When they arrived at the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city gate asked the clever 'fellow', "What are you doing?" Why do you have to go out of town? ”

This clever 'fellow' stuffed a tael of gold into the hands of the officers who were inspecting and said, "We are grain merchants, and we have a record in the county office. The owner was in a hurry, and the young owner asked me to go back and tell the owner first. ”

Seeing that he had a record in the county office, plus a tael of gold, the officer who checked said with a serious face: "Go ahead, go ahead, but you can go out, and you can't come back after you go out." ”

This clever 'buddy' smiled at the officer who was interrogating and said, "Please rest assured, the villain will not cause trouble to the adult." ”

A day later, in the camp of the Fenwu Army in Yangqu County, Fu Zhu, Huang Zhong, Liu Bao, Li Ru and others were all in the tent, listening to the report of this clever 'buddy'.

This clever 'buddy' was identified by Li Ru's intelligence battalion, and he was indeed a member of the intelligence battalion.

The generals will not only explain the family relationship of the Wang family in Qixian County clearly, but also have an internal plan to attack the city - three days later, at the first watch, the fire in the city is a code, and the inside should be combined with the outside to break the east gate.

Frustrated in his heart, he silently calculated, there was still time. Ordered: "Tomorrow night, the whole army will set off and send troops to Qi County." ”

And said to Li Ru: "If Qi County is taken, the intelligence battalion can take the first credit." ”

Although Li Ru didn't care about this credit, his frustrated attitude really made Li Ru like it.
