After Bai Mingzhe finished speaking, he smiled bitterly and asked rhetorically: "This is 10,000 people!" Can you have the confidence to fight a war with a 1:10 loss? Of course, in the case of defending the city. ”

Now Wei Huo has not yet become famous, before that, there are only a handful of battles in which he won more with less, and the battle loss was one to ten or even above: such as the battle of Wu Qi Yin and Jin, and the battle of Xiang Yu Julu.

This type of war, almost every one, will affect the course of history!

Uncle Zhang raised his eyebrows, and then said: "Although the nearly 10,000 battleable soldiers are a bit tricky, but what about this? Soldiers can be divided into miscellaneous soldiers and elite soldiers. The defenders of Jiaodong County almost never saw blood, how could they be compared with my thousand elite soldiers who fought on the battlefield? ”

"Jun Yan encircled it ten times, attacked it five times, I have a thousand elite soldiers to defend the city, that is, if the miscellaneous soldiers in Mo County want to take down Gaomi County, at least 7,000 people must be mobilized! I don't believe they have a good general who can command 7,000 men in battle! ”

After a pause, he said confidently: "Of course, even if there is, if you want to capture Gaomi within ten days, it is a pipe dream!"

"They can recruit the people, and we can recruit the people! After entering the city, I had already controlled the original defenders of Gaomi County, and their weapons were placed in the arsenal. Although the weapons are a little rudimentary, equipping a team of 1,500 people is not a problem! In other words, we had more than 2,000 men defending the city. ”

Bai Mingzhe smiled with relief and said loudly: "You have such confidence, I am much more relieved." Still, we can't take it too lightly. If you can't hold it, just give up Gaomi County, and when the army arrives, fight again! ”

"Taiyuanjun, I dare not agree with this." Zhang Bo shook his head lightly, "Jiaodong and Jiaoxi have close ties, and their interests are almost one. If I am too guarded by Jiaodong, whether it is to share interests or be deceived, I must try my best to let Jiaoxi send troops to jointly attack Gaomi County. If we abandon Gaomi City, the possibility of our death in battle will be greatly increased. ”

Bai Mingzhe asked, "What is your opinion?"

"Humble advice, it's best to use stratagem to treat Jimo Taishou! For example, in the name of discussing a visit to King Kang of Jiaodong, he was invited to a banquet in Gaomi County. ”

Bai Mingzhe's eyes lit up, and he suddenly came to his senses, "Hongmen Banquet? The admiral is plotting, this plan is very good! ”

He is not Xiang Yu, if he puts on a Hongmen banquet, he will definitely practice the principle of capturing the thief and capturing the king first!

"If you think it's appropriate, you can prepare now!"

"No hurry! It's not easy for you to hurry, it's better to rest first, and I will hand over the specific arrangements to Lieutenant A Sergeant to do. ”

Uncle Zhang had long felt a little tired, worried that he would delay the big event after being tired for a long time, so he was no longer polite, and gave his hand, "No!" ”

…………

On the other side,

Jimo City,

Jiaodong County Guard

He Ergou knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and answered Ma Ning's question respectfully.

Ma Ning pinched a piece of gold cake in his hand vigorously, his eyes were like eagle falcons, revealing fierceness and cruelty, and his teeth gritted "crunch, crunch" sound, "You say that Gaomi County has been taken over by people from Liang State?" The army of Liang State, what are you doing in Jiaodong! ”

"Back to the county guard, the subordinates don't know where they came from. After this group of people arrived in Gaomi County, they didn't say a word, and directly ordered Captain Song Xiang to open the city gate, otherwise they would be punished for treason. ”

"Hmph, treason? Good guy, is it really scared of Wu Maning? Without any documents or edicts, they dare to occupy Gaomi County under my jurisdiction, and they are the ones who betray the country! Song Xiang is an idiot, let him open the city gate? Can't you hold it off, send someone to me and let me know? ”

"The county guard, Captain Song Xiang is also a last resort, and the leader of Liang Guo is the son of General Zhang Yu. General Zhang Yu and Lieutenant Qing have always been good friends......"

Before He Ergou finished speaking, Ma Ning waved his hand directly, interrupted him, and said angrily: "What about Zhang Yu's sister-in-law?" This is my Jiaodong County! Even if it's King Liang, you have to lie down here! I have a king in Jiaodong, and a king in Jiaodong! ”

He Ergou was frightened by Ma Ning's attitude, and hurriedly lay on the ground, not daring to squeak.

"How many people are there in Liang Kingdom?"

"Back to the county guard, about a thousand, all of them are middle-aged. Judging by the momentum on their bodies, they should have killed people. ”

"Middle-aged soldiers? Ever killed someone? Ma Ning's face became more and more solemn, and even, a little ugly, "Zhang Yu, this guy won't send all the elites who participated in the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, right?" If it is, it's really hard to do. Who is the elite who is safe enough to be dispatched to resist the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, could it be that Taiyuan Jun has already arrived in Gaomi County? ”

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and hurriedly asked: "In the past few days, have there been any more suspicious people in Gaomi County who have gone in?" The kind that carries a lot of slaves, retinues. ”

He Ergou shook his head, "County guard, in the past month, all the people who have entered the city are businessmen, and there are no suspicious people. As usual, the people who came into the city were merchants who were going to buy salt and transport it to the border gates in the interior for sale. ”

Ma Ning's brows were about to twist into a hemp rope, "Then is there any from Chang'an?" ”

"...... from Chang'an ...... from Chang'an" He Ergou closed his eyes and fell into memory, "Hey, it seems that there really is one." That person was in business for the first time, so his subordinates remembered it very well. Oh, by the way, Captain Song Xiang also sold two thousand stones of salt to him for more than four hundred dollars a stone. In the past two days, that guy has been raising gold cakes. ”

Ma Ning hated that iron could not become steel, and scolded angrily, "Damn! Song Xiang is really tired of being alive! There are businessmen from Chang'an who don't report to the county guard! He's not afraid of messing with people he shouldn't mess with? ”

He got up, walked up to He Ergou, grabbed his collar, put his face down, and asked word by word: "The time when this merchant arrived in Gaomi is a few days different from the arrival of the soldiers of the Liang State!"

"The county... Guard, seven or eight days. ”

"Humph!" Ma Ning snorted coldly and let go of He Ergou's collar, "Seven or eight days, almost!" If the army of the Liang State advances at full speed, it will be able to reach Gaomi County in seven or eight days! Sure enough, Taiyuanjun has already entered the city in advance! ”

Turning around, he walked back and forth in the hall of the county guard mansion with his hands behind his back, muttering to himself, and said softly: "According to the etiquette system, when the feudal monarch arrives in Jiaodong, he should first come to Jimo to meet King Kang!" If Taiyuan Jun doesn't want to be hostile to the princes and kings, he should come to Jimo City in the next few days. ”

He was ruthless and yelled at the outside, "Come on, go and invite Hu Yannian immediately, Bian Zhi." Let's just say that I have something important to discuss! ”

After the arrangement, he looked at He Ergou and asked in a deep voice: "As the defender of Gaomi, let me ask, which city gate in Gaomi County has the least number of guards?" Where are the city gates the weakest and the walls the lowest? ”

"Taishou, the West Gate is the closest to the Huai River, so the merchants who arrive in Jiaodong County like to enter Gaomi County from the West Gate. For the sake of stability in the city, the west gate has the largest number of defenders of all the city gates. And the lowest city wall, I'm afraid is the south gate. Because of the high terrain in the south, in order to ensure that the height of the wall is consistent, the height of the wall was lowered a lot, intentionally or unintentionally, during the construction process. ”

"That's it! I got it! Go down first. In a few days, I have something important for you to do! A thought flashed through Ma Ning's mind, then he waved his hand and gave the order to evict the guest.

"No!"

He Ergou got up, still looking dumbfounded.

"Close the door!"

"No!"

After He Ergou gave up, he bent down and retreated, leaving only Ma Ning alone in the hall.

On the bright side, of course, it's a person.

Ma Ning sat down on his knees again and filled himself a glass of water.

Bringing the bowl to his mouth, he said lightly, "You heard it, right?" Taiyuan Jun has already controlled Gaomi County, which is probably what His Majesty meant. Chang'an is planning to control the salt industry in Jiaodong. ”

"Although Gaomi County is not rich, its location and transportation are extremely critical. Jiaodong has lost Gaomi, just like losing chopsticks when eating, losing lips with teeth, and having cold lips! Since then, Jiaodong salt may be difficult to transport out of Qidi. ”

"Rustle."

"Rustle."

A deep voice came from the back of the mansion.

"Zhou Li. Tianguan. "Palm" said: "Wang Dalu God, then Zhang felt case, set up the imperial residence."

This mansion, also known as the wall, refers to the screen of later generations.

Immediately afterwards, a more muffled, long-pitched voice came from behind, responding to Ma Ning's words, "Ma Gong, now that Taiyuan Jun controls Gaomi County on behalf of His Majesty, I'm afraid that Jimo will be taken action in the near future." What the public has done over the years, if he finds out, I'm afraid it will at least be a punishment of the head. I don't know, is Gong going to wait for the sword to kill the body, or does he want to give it a go? ”

Ma Ning drank the water in the bowl, his eyes were a little hesitant, "Dare to ask...... What does the lord mean? ”

"The lord didn't show his own intentions, I only asked on my own behalf."

Ma Ning's face changed slightly, "The lord didn't say anything?" That ......"

The voice smiled, "Ma Gong, Jun has already controlled Jiaodong Haoqiang, which is comparable to the first person under the lord." Is there much difference between the meaning of the king and the meaning of the lord? Why hesitate? Although Jun said clearly, what are you going to do! I will tell the Lord the truth! ”

Ma Ning was still a little uneasy, "What do you mean by this?" ”

The voice from behind the wall continued, "It's not interesting, I don't want to die." ”

"Yes, you don't want to die...... I don't want to either! The hesitation in Ma Ning's eyes suddenly disappeared, and his gaze suddenly became firm, "Please tell the lord that there is a group of bandits who occupy Gaomi County under the banner of Liang State, cutting off the connection between Jiaodong and Chang'an. Ma Ning is not talented, for the sake of the Han River, he decided to lead troops to quell the rebellion! ”

He closed his eyes, paused slightly, and said, "As for how to judge that the one who occupies Gaomi County is a bandit......

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, hooking up a crescent-like arc, "I haven't received an edict from Chang'an!" I didn't receive any edict to take over Gaomi County! ”

Hearing Ma Ning's attitude, the voice behind the wall had a hint of joy, "Since Ma Gong has decided, then I will report to the Lord immediately." Please rest assured, the edict of Chang'an, the lord will deal with it, within half a month, the edict will not reach Jimo, you just rest assured to suppress the thief! ”

Ma Ning opened his eyes and waved his hand in one direction of Jimo City, "No! ”
