"What? Pretending to be a rebel and fishing in troubled waters? ”

"No, no, we have already pretended to be a rebel once, and we have been recognized, and now we have to pretend to be a rebel again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to work."

After Li Jiancheng listened to Wang Qi's idea, he rejected him without hesitation.

After all, the same method can achieve unexpected results the first time, but if it is used repeatedly, the results are difficult to predict.

Wang Qi hurriedly added: "All those who fight, with the right match, with the odd victory." ”

"This time, we are no longer accompanied by the general's personal guards, but disguised as a rout soldier entering the city."

"Router?" Li Jiancheng looked dazed.

Wang Jue affirmed: "Not bad! ”

Sima Jiu was as dazed as Li Jiancheng at first, but after thinking about it, he figured out the reason.

The king of Han has been raising troops for more than a month.

The Imperial Counterinsurgency Army, under the command of Yang Su, the head of the march of the Bingzhou Road, was invincible and defeated several generals under the command of the King of Han one after another.

Especially on the battlefield from Puzhou to Bingzhou, more than 100,000 rebels were defeated one after another.

Pingyao City is located on the road from Puzhou to Bingzhou, and because of this, at this time, Pingyao City has become a military town where the army gathers.

Whether it is for the empire or for the Han king, Pingyao City is a place where both sides must fight.

If Pingyao City was controlled by the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty rebels could take advantage of the geographical advantages of Pingyao City to establish a defensive line to resist the attack of the imperial army, so as to create conditions for the rear to prepare for war, and slow down or even stop the march of the imperial army.

If Pingyao City is lost and occupied by the imperial army, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to the Han King, and Pingyao City will become a nail in the hinterland of the Han King.

In the future, the imperial army can cut off the retreat of the rebels on the front line, and block a large number of rebels who have not yet returned to the state at Puzhou, Gaobi to Pingyao, and finally annihilate.

Going forward, the imperial army could also use Pingyao City as a base for advancing and continue northward to attack the hinterland of Bingzhou.

Therefore, when the front line was defeated, Pingyao City was about to become the focus of contention between the two sides, and at this time, the front-line rout troops were pouring into Pingyao City in a steady stream.

Wang Jue suggested pretending to be a defeated soldier, precisely because he wanted to use the identity of the defeated soldier to take advantage of the chaos to find an opportunity to hijack Wang Gong again.

Thinking of this, Sima Jiu then expressed his opinion on Wang Jue's proposal.

"I think the uncle's method may work, it is the so-called upright surprise, and win in chaos."

"What we didn't dare to do, perhaps, was also unexpected by our opponents."

After Li Jiancheng listened to Sima Jiu's words, he turned his eyes to look at Feng Li.

Feng Li hurriedly said: "Don't look at me, I don't have any ideas, if you really want me to say, I think Uncle Brother's method may be a try." ”

"After all, there's no better way now."

"I'll go get ready." Before Li Jiancheng could ask Yuanfeng for advice, Yuanfeng directly expressed his views with actions.

Suddenly, there was an awkward atmosphere in the air, and Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, so he decided: "Since everyone unanimously agrees with Brother Shujie's proposal, let's pretend to be a rebel again." ”

The next day, in the morning.

"Where are we going?"

Sima Jiu and the others had changed into soldier clothes and dressed up as rebels.

"Chengnan Battalion!" Feng Li said without looking back.

Then, he felt that something was wrong, so he stopped, turned around and said angrily: "I said, Xiao Jiuzi, if you ask questions in the future, remember to add the title." ”

As he spoke, he clenched his right hand into a fist and pointed his thumb at himself, as if reminding Sima Jiu, quickly add a title and call me.

Sima Jiu immediately understood and said, "Oh! Okay, big brother. ”

At this time, Feng Li has become the leader of their five-person squad, after all, Feng Li is tall and big, and a touch of funny color appears on his face from time to time, which is very in line with the image of the veteran Youzi, and it is most suitable to take him as the leader.

Sima Jiu asked, "Brother Shichang: Why do we want to go to the camp in the south of the city?" ”

"This ...... Well, uncle, you can explain it to Xiao Jiuzi. ”

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he jokingly said: "How do I feel that Xiao Jiuzi's name is weird, it always gives people a feeling of eunuchs, ah, haha!" ”

Sima Jiu was speechless for a while.

“......”

"I still think it's more appropriate to call me the ninth brother!"

Wang Jue pointed to the military camp in front of him and said, "Okay, there is the camp in the south of the city, you are all serious, pay attention to the image." ”

"You're so hip-hop, where is there still a little bit of a rout."

Feng Li responded: "Brother Uncle is right! ”

Sima Jiu looked in the direction of Feng Li's finger, only to see an extremely large military camp appear not far ahead.

The gate of the barracks was wide open, and countless routs poured into the barracks in an endless stream, and the guards of the gate rarely asked about the routs who entered the camp.

Now that the battle on the front line is not going well, a large number of defeated soldiers have retreated into Pingyao City, and the camp in the south of the city has been designated as a place to contain the defeated army.

"Come to think of it, there must be a 'large army' in the camp, go, go in and have a look." Feng Li took the lead and walked towards the camp.

After entering the barracks, Sima Jiu's jaw dropped in shock at the scene in front of him.

In the barracks, there was chaos, there was no appearance of a barracks at all, it was like a huge refugee camp, similar to the Imperial Heyin Battalion.

In the wide camp, the idle defeated soldiers sat on the ground in groups of three or five, demoralized and without any desire to fight.

A large number of wounded soldiers lay in the crowd, uncared for, resigned to fate.

In the camp, there are a handful of tents, which seem to announce to people that this camp in the south of the city is not leaderless.

Li Jiancheng saw Sima Jiu stop and scan the scene in the camp, so he reminded: "Ninth brother, don't look at it, let's go ahead and find a place to stay." ”

"Oh!"

At this moment, Wang Qi sighed: "The guards of Yuanmen were negligent in their precautions, and tens of thousands of defeated soldiers gathered in this camp in the south of the city but no one came to rectify it, so it seems that the defeat of the rebels is no accident. ”

"If these tens of thousands of defeated troops are reorganized and used to strengthen the city's defenses and prepare for the enemy, it must be a force that cannot be ignored."

Li Jiancheng said: "Seeing the subtleties, what the uncle said is reasonable. ”

While speaking, Sima Jiu and his entourage had already found a foothold at the edge of the camp.

Sima Jiu leaned on the barracks fence and glanced at the scene in the barracks, full of thoughts.

He was born in a time of peace and did not like war.

War means life and death, and it means the destruction of families.

The tens of thousands of defeated soldiers in front of us also represent tens of thousands of families, and their life and death will change the future of tens of thousands of families.

But how can we save them?

Keep fighting, stop fighting?

Or do you stoop to make peace?

"Ninth brother, what do you want?"

Li Jiancheng clasped his hands and leaned beside Sima Jiu.

Sima Jiu said: "Can we stop the war?" ”

"Perhaps? Or maybe not? The key depends on whether you have enough strength. ”
