Chapter 048: Acting? I won't!
Fortunately, autumn is approaching, and the crops in the field are barely ready to be harvested.
Otherwise, the losses could be even greater.
Liu Qi rubbed the corners of his forehead: "Really, if you don't come early or late, you will come in a hurry when the farm is busy!" ”
The Yancheng County Commander was stunned for a while, and at the end, he suddenly bowed his head deeply: "The great enemy is coming, the prince still remembers the heart of loving the people, and his subordinates are for the people of Yancheng, thank the eldest son for saving his life!" ”
No kidding.
Yuan Shu's troops did not have a good reputation, and it was natural that they should eat locally when they went out on the expedition.
Even Sun Jian's old department would not think that it was a wrong idea to eat the enemy.
Not to mention entering Jingzhou to fight, every time you grab a bucket of grain and catch a strong man, it is all earned in vain!
If it is other people's troops, they will not care whether they encounter civilians or enemy troops at all, and they will burn and loot people's villages when they see them, and earn their capital back first.
And what about the leading generals in the region?
Often, they also had to levy grain and grass, and requisition strong men to prepare for battle, which was no different from the enemy.
Therefore, in every war, the people will always suffer more than twice. When a war ends, there is often not one in ten.
Before fighting like Liu Qi, not only did he not collect grain and grass, but he also remembered to call the people to take refuge in the city, and ordered the soldiers to help harvest the crops.
Immodest, in this troubled world, it is the only one!
Yancheng County Ling's eyes were moist: "Eldest prince, you should ask Hanshou Mansion for help, maybe you will send troops over after a while!" ”
Such a good monarch, why does he have a problem with iron head?
As soon as he thought that Liu Qi would have to resist the 6,000 elite enemy army with more than 1,000 people, such a benevolent and righteous lord was afraid that he would die in Yancheng, and the Yancheng County Decree was stunned.
What a pity!
Liu Qi was also very moved by the red eyes of Shangyancheng County: "Don't worry, I have my own plans, then Sun Ben can't help me." ”
So after listening to the whole scene, Kuai Liang, who felt sorry for Liu Qi like the county order, kindled a glimmer of hope: "Could it be that the eldest prince has already agreed with the lord and is ready to flank the enemy?" ”
“…… Do you think it's possible? Liu Qi was speechless.
It's not such a pit if you have a pit in your brain, it's just 6,000 people, and you want to pour the power of Jingzhou to attack?
Jingzhou is going to be weak to this extent, Yuan Shu has already come to pick the fruit!
In fact, if it weren't for Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to make the Jiangling defenders turn a blind eye, Sun Ben's 6,000 people would not have been able to come over easily!
"Okay, don't keep mentioning the reinforcements and disturb the morale of the army." Liu Qi looked at the pleading gaze of several ministers, and finally relented for a moment, and explained casually, "Then Sun Ben's subordinates are mostly cavalry, and there are many mountains around Yancheng, and the cavalry can't be used at all." Moreover, who told you that I have only a thousand men under my command? ”
Kuai Liang's eyes lit up, and he was about to ask again.
Liu Qi was already impatient, waved his hand to signal him to shut up, turned his head and ordered Zhang Hu: "Go to the construction team and pick up five hundred people, who must have yellow faces and thin muscles, and look like homeless people." ”
Zhang Hu was at a loss: "Lord, what's the use of those people?" ”
Even if you want to be conscripted, you can't be strong, why do you still name the thin?
"Nonsense, if you were that Sun Ben, you would have traveled thousands of miles to come over and find that there was not even a ghost in the surrounding villages. The crops are gone, and the possessions are gone, what do you think? Will you still come to beat me with an iron head? ”
Liu Qi smiled gloomily: "It's easy to have a serious opportunity to make meritorious contributions, are you willing to lose it?" ”
"What do you mean, the one surnamed Sun is going to run?!" Zhang Hu's eyes widened angrily, "That's not good, your subordinates are still counting on meritorious service to be rewarded and repay your kindness!" ”
The corners of Kuai Liang and the others' mouths twitched.
It is worthy of the talent ordered by the lord himself, the same head iron!
Liu Qi admired it: "That's right." In order to let that Sun Ben feel at ease and boldly fight, do we have to show him a scene? ”
Zhang Hu still didn't seem to understand, so Liu Qi asked him to come over with his ear, and gave such and such an order.
"When the time comes, you let those yellow-faced and thin-skinned homeless people pretend to be villagers, bring dozens of soldiers, make the appearance of forcibly recruiting strong men, and burn and loot in front of Sun Jun. Remember, run when you see an enemy! ”
"Let that Sun Ben feel that we have just learned the news of the enemy's attack, and we are panicking to raise troops everywhere. The people were either arrested or fled, and we robbed the crops and belongings. All in all, I want to make Sun Ben feel that I, Liu Qi, am a straw bag who can only be majestic to the people, but is actually as timid as a mouse. ”
"As for how to act, it depends on your ability!"
So, Zhang Hu's eyes lit up, and his fierce face actually showed some cunning appearance: "Don't worry, my subordinates won't do anything else, burning, killing and looting is our old business, and I will keep it for you to play it really!" ”
After arranging military affairs, Liu Qi took Kuai Liang's arm and came to the study.
Staring at the other party's expectant eyes, Liu Qi smiled mysteriously: "Zirou, are you interested in cooperating with this son and doing a big business?" ”
Kuai Liang: "......"
Prince, don't really burn out your brains.
"Ahem, what kind of eyes are you, it's really a good business, you don't lose money, and you make a lot of money. Why, this son will still trick you ......"
……
Early the next morning, 200 miles away from Yancheng, at the entrance of Wangjia Village, a colorful army slowly approached.
Although Sun Ben's army is elite, it is not a descendant of Yuan Shu, so naturally he can't afford to wear a unified military uniform, and he has his own robes, so he has more tricks, which looks quite nondescript.
However, no one dared to underestimate them, it was this army, under the command of Sun Jian, that beat Huang Zu's army to the head of the rat, and finally had to use assassination to win.
At this time, it was the busy season of farming, and the soldiers who took the lead were obviously very experienced, and when they saw the entrance of the village, they all cheered, and they rushed up to the fields without the greeting of the leader.
"Grab the food!"
In order to avoid revealing their whereabouts, they all came lightly, and they did not bring much military rations. It is the idea of eating the local food when you get to the place.
Sun Ben sat in the Chinese army, looking at the soldiers who were happy in the distance on the tall horse, and couldn't help laughing: "These stinky boys, don't say that they are restrained, what if they are discovered by the Yancheng spies." ”
The younger brother Sun Fu laughed when he heard this: "Brother, don't worry, the sons and daughters are used to doing this work, make sure you don't leave a living, no one will find out!" ”
"Besides, what if you find out, with the hundreds of people in Yancheng, can Liu Qi'er drown us with saliva?"
……
In Zhaojia Village, a yellow-skinned man saw someone from a distance, and ran to the cellar of a family at the end of the village, and said to a strong man inside: "Boss, here!" ”
As soon as the strong man looked up, it was Zhang Hu, who was wearing the armor of the defenders of Yancheng, and smiled fiercely when he heard this: "Let the brothers prepare and prepare, the show is about to begin!" ”
