This extremely embarrassing scene is indeed easy to misunderstand; But what kind of heroine is Mrs. Huang? She only used one sentence to dispel Ding Shuo's eighty percent of his vigilance:

"My sister-in-law's maiden name is Huang, and she is from Jiankang City in the south."

The name of Nankang medicinal material Huang, who in the world does not know, who does not know? Especially in Zhongshan Road, Youbei, where medicinal materials are the main industry, is a well-known wealthy family. Although just because her mother's family is rich and rivals the country, it cannot prove that the Gu family and his wife also regard money as dung; But at least the means chosen by the couple to collect money will definitely not be so crude and shallow.

After the misunderstanding was resolved, Gu Dashuai's wife, Huang Yumei, personally cooked, and set up a family banquet in the courtyard of the back hall of the mansion to wash the dust for General Ding.

Ding Shuo is not the kind of vulgar military man who only knows how to fight and does not understand human feelings, he just doesn't want to participate in it. Therefore, when Gu Hui talked to him about the way of the ancient sages and the principle of commanding the army and the people, he always pretended not to know or turned a deaf ear. Without a few words and no speculation, Master Gu defined General Taining in his heart as a fighting man with a head full of reed and cotton wool, and left on the pretext of looking down on the people's feelings.

After Master Gu left the table, Huang Yumei dismissed all the family members, personally took out a number of account books from Zhang Zhihe's study, and put a roll of sheepskin maps in front of Ding Shuo to unfold:

"General Ding, this is the map of the whole territory of Zhongshan Road left by Zhang Zhi and the old Wang Balamb, my sister-in-law has already compared it, although there are no obvious mistakes or omissions, but it is also useless; These are the detailed account books of the soldiers on Zhongshan Road, the number of grain reserves and public accounts recorded on it, and the sister-in-law has also been counted and revised, and the number of Zhu batches is the real number at present. In addition, more than 30% of the soldiers who can be requisitioned at any time for war preparedness and the guards of the Qingshan City Guard Battalion are empty salaries; However, my sister-in-law guessed that His Majesty should directly hand over the stolen silver left by Zhang Zhihe to us and others to prepare for the war, so this part of the deficit should not be bothered with......"

The first meeting was not very pleasant, and the exchange between the banquets was not very pleasant, and Ding Shuo had already held the idea that the generals would do their own thing, and the well water would not violate the river water; But who knew that as soon as Master Gu left, the handsome lady Huang began to inform him of the specific situation. This unexpected surprise also made his originally discouraged thoughts, and finally rolled up a trace of waves:

"This ...... Sister-in-law is talented! However, it is said that Master Gu was an official in Jincheng before, and according to the calculation of the last general, even if the Xian couple rushed faster, it would not be more than two days for the last general! But in just one day and night, how could the two of them find out the situation in Qingshan City clearly? I beg your pardon for being unreasonable, although the accounts of the money and food of these soldiers seem to be just a few miscellaneous things, but in fact they are very important to the victory or defeat of this battle......"

When Mrs. Huang heard this, she immediately opened the modification of one of the account books, and began to explain in detail to Ding Shuo the process and method of her rechecking the real numbers. Ding Shuo and the two lieutenants under his command were both experienced grain supervisors, and when they heard Mrs. Huang's many unbelievable ingenious methods and tricks to hit the key points of grain storage, the last trace of doubt in their hearts immediately disappeared.

In this way, women are still more suitable than men for meticulous work such as managing accounts and managing money.

The wine was cold, but except for Xie Tao, a strong man who had already eaten and drunk and snored like thunder, the other three were all discussing the detailed rules related to this war. Of course, the harvest of one ear is just the deputy general of the chicken and dog ascending to heaven, and there is no right to speak during the banquet, so you can only listen attentively.

As the de facto commander of Zhongshan Road, Huang Yumei first showed enough sincerity to give all the support she could provide to Ding Shuo and Pan. And Ding Shuo was also impressed by his unprecedented housekeeping ability, and with the intention of repaying the favor, he also made a detailed report on the strategy he had formulated in advance.

But I didn't expect that after she finished speaking, Huang Yumei shook her head again and again and said:

"Brother Ding, it's not your sister-in-law who splashes you with cold water, although the design of your battle is exquisite enough, it is too dangerous! My sister-in-law is just a woman with little knowledge, and she doesn't know how to fight with soldiers, but I think that after you just said this, there is not much difference between fighting and going to the market to buy vegetables. The copper plate in your pocket now is only prepared according to last year's vegetable price; But the price of vegetables in this market is the same every day, how can it be so good? Brother, if there is something wrong, don't blame your sister-in-law; But you don't have enough money for this dish, you can go home and get it again, except for one more trip, there is nothing to lose; But if you miscalculate one step when using soldiers, it's a matter of how many lives you have......"

After Huang Yumei said this, Ding Shuo's originally firm heart was also a little shaken. Of course, he knows very well the truth that Ci is not in charge of the army; But if you pay for casualties and can't get back the advantage of the overall situation, then it is meaningless. His original overall plan was indeed good enough to think about, and if the plan was implemented proudly, it could also annihilate the entire combat power of the Shenshi tribe; However, the problem is that the error tolerance rate is so low that if any one of the small links goes wrong, the whole game will immediately collapse.

Doing business can't be desperate, let alone a war that is related to the northern country and the people of Li?

To be fair, Ding Shuo's strategy of using troops in the imperial study was indeed a dangerous move, but he boasted of Haikou just to win the general's errand. As the saying goes, soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and adapting measures to local conditions is also the basic quality of every commander of the army.

After the discussion between the two, Ding Shuo responded to Huang Yumei's advice - as much rice as there is a big pot, and reorganized the overall combat thinking.

Ten days later, the Shenshi tribe launched a surprise attack without submitting a war report, and the iron hooves of the Mobei cavalry directly stepped across the border line, and hit the small county of Taining in the north of Zhongshan Road by surprise! According to General Taining's original vision, this Taining County should have been the residence of the shamanic wizard group, and it was also a bait for him to hide a barb; Therefore, in today's Taining City, there are only 2,000 city guards; And those baits that concealed poisons, the shaman wizard group, and the great shaman He Wendao, were all recalled to Qingshan City to get medicine by Gu Hui on the grounds that they had no time to escort medicinal materials.

The current guard of Taining County, named Wan Zhihai, is a general who was transferred from the vicinity of Taibai Mountain. When the Mobei Iron Cavalry crossed the border, it was only the eighth day of his tenure. The taboos of soldiers such as soldiers not knowing generals and generals not knowing soldiers are completely unable to describe General Wan's current embarrassment; In such a short period of time, he has not even recognized the names of the soldiers of the 200 personal guard battalions!

Early this morning, he sent out five groups of sentinels to inspect the border as usual, and he personally climbed the city tower to inspect the city fortifications and observe the surrounding terrain by the way. Because Taining County is located on the border between the two armies, the landform of the northern section of the topographic map is detailed enough; However, the Mobei section, which is only separated by a line, is rarely marked, and the information that can be referred to is extremely limited.

Don't think that if there is green grass everywhere in sight, there is nothing to explore. As a member of the Zhongshan Governor's Army, Wan Zhihai naturally knows the danger hidden in the green grass. After observing for a moment, he frowned, turned his head and said to the captain of the guard who was following him:

"At noon, when the sentinels return, let them have a half-day holiday. On duty in the afternoon, you and I dressed up in disguise, replacing the sentinel on the north road, and carefully exploring the terrain and landforms. As for the other four sentry scouts, eight sergeants who were good at drawing were replaced, and everyone checked and filled in the gaps according to the original drawings and re-filled the annotations. ”

As soon as he said this, there was a sudden chaotic sound of horses' hooves in the distance; Wan Zhihai hurriedly looked back into the distance, only to see a sentry wearing his own military uniform, holding a whip in his right hand and desperately twitching the war horse under his crotch, his legs tightly clamping the stirrup, and his left hand, which should have held the reins, was raised high, shaking a pennant repeatedly......

"Gatekeeper, ring the bell to warn! Da Yanagi, let's take a look, what is the meaning of the flag shown by the sentinel? ”

The chief of the guard, who was called Da Yanagi, looked into the distance, and then replied to his general in a panic:

"Mobei people have invaded!"

"it, these wolf cubs are finally here! You stay on the city wall to organize the city defense battalion, and Lao Tzu goes to command the city gate! ”

"General! Of the ten sentinels, only Xiao Qi came back by himself, let's ......"

"I've got fucking long eyes, do your own errand!"

Wan Zhihai ran wildly towards the bottom of the city tower, while repeatedly waving the general's sword in his hand and roaring loudly, "Enemy attack, enemy attack". After his roar, the originally quiet and peaceful Taining County immediately entered a state of emergency preparation. Fortunately, the ordinary people who settled here have long been accustomed to the attacks of the Mobei horse bandits, and both the old people and children in the city are a little calmer than Wan Zhihai, the general of the unified army.

Wan Zhihai went straight to the city gate after getting off the city tower, only to see eight city gate officials, who were already standing behind the two gates at this time, waiting for Xiao Qi, a sentinel who was rushing not far away. Wan Zhihai gritted his teeth, looking at the bursts of dust and smoke raised in the distance, and his heart was tormented: he really wished that he could replace the frothing war horse under Xiao Qi's crotch, and speed up a few more points out of thin air, so as to close the city gate before the enemy army chased after him.

Whoosh~Buzz~!

In the midst of the heart-wrenching bell, an arrow whistled and struck the sentinel in the back! Xiao Qi, the sentry detective who was still full of panic, was now stunned, his body stiffened, and the horsewhip in his hand also fell out of his hand......

Before the horsewhip hit the ground, a tooth-aching chord sound sounded quickly, like a swarm of poisonous mosquitoes in the middle of summer, which made people smell a thick layer of goosebumps. Although Wan Zhihai is not a famous general of Huayu, he is also an old martial artist after all, after hearing this familiar voice, and looking at the distance between Xiao Qi and the city gate, he immediately waved his sword and shouted:

"Close the gates!"

"But ......"

"Close the city gate for Lao Tzu!"
