Chapter 16: Ambush (2)

Everyone can play abacus, but it is difficult to say whether it can be realized.

The Nanping army suddenly returned to Lijiagou, coerced the old and weak women and children captured in the "Qizhai", and forcibly went to the Yangtze River ferry from the official road, claiming to drive them into the Yangtze River. Ma Guangmeng saw at a glance that there was fraud in this news. And Pan Mei, who really cares about chaos, is usually a smart and clever person, but he can't see through it, and in a panic, he actually told the "bad news" to the "Qizhai" soldiers who were training, and there was an uproar, and they all asked to go to war and rescue their families. If there are a large number of escorts, maybe persuasion will have some effect, but there are only 300 people, and the soldiers in Qizhai have 600, so this persuasion will have no effect at all, after all, it is their relatives!

The attempt of the Nanping army, Ma Guangmeng saw it very clearly, the first is to lure the enemy, if you come, I will kill you all once and for all; If you don't come to the rescue, it means that these reinforcements don't regard the people of "Qizhai" as their own, and there will be a pimple in the heart of the two sides to cooperate in the future. And the most poisonous thing about this strategy is that as long as the news is released, at least the people of Qizhai will definitely come back to save it, and once the local snake of Qizhai is eliminated, then the situation of the reinforcements will become difficult. Knowing that it is a trap, he still wants to jump into it, this kind of thing Ma Guangmeng will not do. On the way to Wangjiawan, he finally thought of a way, but this method had a flaw: before transferring the Nanping army out, on the one hand, it was necessary to stabilize the Nanping army, so that the Nanping army mistakenly thought that the "Qizhai" had taken the bait, so that they would not take the risk; On the other hand, it is necessary to stabilize the 600 people in the "Seven Villages" and convince them that their actions are indeed to save their families. Someone must jump into this trap, and that's a dead end!

Seeing Pan Mei take the initiative to ask Ying, Ma Guangmeng really wanted him to go for a while, although Ma Yun valued Pan Mei very much, but Ma Guangmeng was reluctant to let Zhou Xingfeng and Cao Bin go on an adventure, but...

At this moment, Zhou Xingfeng stood up and said, "Dashuai, let me go." Zhou Xingfeng knew that it was a place of death, but he also understood better that Pan Mei could not die at this time, especially he could not die in that "place of death". He is the brother-in-law of Shentu Congjian, the leader of "Qizhai", these days after contact, the people of "Qizhai" have a lot of respect for Pan Mei, although the sword is not long-eyed, but if Pan Mei dies under the siege, then the relationship between the reinforcements and "Qizhai" is a little stiff. At least before the prince did not send troops to Jingzhou, this Pan Mei still couldn't die.

Seeing that Cao Bin was about to stand up and ask for help, Ma Guangmeng seemed to sigh in his heart, shook his head and said, "Zhou Xingfeng." ”

Zhou Xingfeng felt a pang in his heart, bowed his head and arched his hand: "The end will be!" ”

Ma Guangmeng looked at Zhou Xingfeng with a complicated expression, and said, "You and Pan Mei led the Qizhai sergeants to stay here, and Cao Bin and I immediately waved our troops to feint to attack Badong County." These days, Badong County has looted so many people's fat and people's ointment, and it has not yet been transported to Guizhou, Bao Tang will not care about this money, he will definitely return to the army, and by that time... ”

The midsummer afternoon sun is unusually hot, shining on people is like a stove around them, almost burning the skin, no one wants to walk in this weather, and probably only a madman would think of basking in the sun in this weather. However, in the small canyons of the hills on both sides near the official road of Wangjiawan, there was a group of people who stayed there honestly and basked in the sun, and they didn't even dare to make a sound.

Bao Tang, the "commander-in-chief of Nanping", was among this group of people, and he wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with his hands from time to time, and carefully inquired about the spies in front of him.

"How far are they from here?"

"General Bing, the remnants of Qizhai stopped at a place 10 miles away from Wangjiawan and rested for a while. There are about 1,000 people looking at them. ”

Bao Tang nodded, and said to the captain beside him: "Pass the order, the three armies are on standby, ready to fight at any time." "As long as the remnants of "Qizhai" come, they are not afraid that they will be able to fly to the sky. After fighting this battle, escorting the money raised during this time, I can finally give an explanation to King Nanping.

Time passed like this, but the official road was still calm, and there was not the slightest sign that a large number of people were about to pass. Bao Tang carefully checked the map, and finally found this powerful terrain to ambush the remnants of the "Qizhai", opened the fishing net, and waited for the fish to jump in by themselves. But the fish swam in, but he just wouldn't get into it. But they saw through the trick.

Bao Tang's heart immediately appeared in his heart, when he was leaving, Sikong Xun's words. Sikong Xun said coldly: "In this operation, as long as the news spreads widely, I am not afraid that the remnants of Qizhai will not be attracted over." But this trick is not too clever, those remnants of Qizhai may not be able to see through, where to save people, when to save people, can not be up to them, if they want to play greasy, General Bao, you can't be merciful at a critical moment, kill a few of his captives in Qizhai, I don't believe they can still calm down. ”

Sikong Xun is indeed vicious, he even thought of this situation, but to kill or not to kill? Bao Tang was weighing it repeatedly in his heart. The general's knife is fast, after all, there is no Wenchen's heart poison, this knife goes down, and it is not only the unarmed people who are lost, but also the credibility of the Nanping Palace, this... Bao Tang has been in officialdom for a long time, and his brain is not as reckless as when he first joined the army, he suddenly had an idea, this is not the order of the king of Nanping, in case the king of Nanping will be investigated in the future...

To kill or not to kill? A choice needs to be made.

While Bao Tang was repeatedly engaged in psychological struggle, a lieutenant ran down from the high place of the hill and said, "General, they are coming. ”

Bao Tang was relieved, let out a long breath, he followed the captain to turn a few corners, quietly went up to a high ground near the official road, and cautiously peeked at the situation on the official road.

A group of people walked over on the official road, wearing the uniforms of the Nanping Army, but they were all quite old and tattered, one by one carrying long knives, shrinking their heads and heads, and constantly looking at the hills on both sides. Bao Tang couldn't help but scold secretly in his heart: Are you afraid that there will be an ambush, don't you know to send spies to investigate? I really haven't seen a big scene, and I don't have basic military knowledge.

But looking at it, Bao Tang was stunned, no, why are there only about 50 people so few? Are these people spies? These people say that they are spies, and the number of them is a bit large, how can there be more than 50 spies who all go the same way and search in one direction? Say it's saving people, right? What is the use of these 50 people?

What kind of calculation is the remnants of these seven villages? There were no more multiple-choice questions, and a short-answer question appeared in front of Bao Tang again.
