Wang Laohu thought for a moment and said, "Patriarch, this matter is not yet the last moment. If we attack the Thirteen Villages, we are still at a disadvantage in numbers, and we can't put pressure on Hou Ping. Second, we have not figured out the deployment of Hou Ping's troops in the thirteenth village. Third, there are only a few routes for the attack of the Thirteen Villages, and which one is the best route. Have we thought all of this through? ”

"The people we sent out, it's been so long, and there is no news yet. If there is no news, will we not act? Craftsman asked.

"Of course not, but for now, let's calm down and think about what we should do."

"We are very familiar with the Thirteen Villages, at least more familiar than that Hou Ping, he can obtain the Thirteen Villages, how can our Tujia people not attack." Craftsman Pei is straightforward.

"I know you're familiar with the Thirteen Villages, but the question now isn't here, it's how we can attack skillfully and minimize casualties." Wang Laohu said, "After all, we can't afford to hurt people now." ”

This sentence is correct, after several battles, the Tujia people have decreased sharply, which is extremely bad news for the Tujia family.

"It is precisely because the Tujia people are decreasing, and there are so many Tujia people imprisoned in the Thirteen Villages, so we have to rescue them as soon as possible, on the other hand, it can also make them suffer less."

"I can understand the patriarch's feelings, they are all brothers and sisters of the Tujia family, imagine who would want their family to suffer outside? And this suffering is not ordinary suffering. ”

"Tiger God, what now? The Tujia people are ready, and their morale is very high. ”

"It's not just the Tujia, we're also prepared. But we need to be well prepared, and not be complacent because we have won a battle, thinking that we are the gods. ”

"I understand the words of the tiger god, but how can I explain to the brothers below."

Wang Laohu said: "Patriarch, please give me some time, as soon as the time comes, we will immediately enter the Thirteen Villages to rescue the Tujia people inside." ”

"Okay, I believe in the Tiger God." After Jiang Pei finished speaking, he said goodbye to Wang Laohu.

On the surface, Jiang Pei listened to Wang Laohu's opinion, but he was not satisfied with such an answer. It's just that because of the prestige of the tiger god, he didn't have a seizure.

He returned to the council chamber.

Hou Yin saw the appearance of the craftsman and said, "Patriarch, what's wrong?" ”

"I just came back from the Tiger God, and the Tiger God doesn't seem to have any plans to attack the Thirteen Villages." Craftsman Pei said helplessly.

"The people we sent out to scout haven't come back yet, and the tiger god may be waiting for this news."

"You also saw that the Tujia people who escaped from the Thirteen Villages, the scars on their bodies, and the suffering they suffered, I thought of these people as soon as I closed my eyes. Now that we have the news, are we going to wait any longer? Craftsman said.

"Ran out of the Thirteen Villages

The Tujia actually gave us useful information, saying that Hou Ping placed his heavy troops on the northwest side of the stockade, while the weakest was on the east side. Based on this clue, we could have avoided the northwest and rushed straight to the east, quickly entering from the east. Hou Yin said.

"After entering the village, control the Li Ancestral Hall of the village, use this as a base point, rely on the commanding height, and use this commanding height to contain Hou Ping's soldiers and horses, so that Hou Ping will retreat."

"Not bad. We are more familiar with Tujiazhai than Hou Ping, and we know better than him where these thirteen villages are more suitable for defense and offense. ”

"Okay, let's gather the leaders and leaders of the villages to come to me and discuss the next step." Craftsman said.

"What about the Tiger God?" Hou Yin asked.

"I already know what the Tiger God means, so don't bother him." Craftsman said.

Without Wang Laohu's knowledge, Jiang Pei presided over this Tujia meeting. It stands to reason that the affairs of the Tujia should not be known to Wang Laohu, but this is no longer the usual time, Wang Laohu and Tujiazhai are inseparable, but Jiang Pei presided over a Tujia conference in this way, his purpose is very clear, the Tujia is in charge of the Tujia affairs.

At the meeting, the leaders of the Tujia family, the leaders and Jiang Pei and Hou Yin thought the same. In the face of the Tujia people who fled back to the Thirteen Villages, they could not accept it, and the Tujia people who were directly imprisoned by Hou Ping together, everyone was indignant and proposed to attack the Thirteen Villages.

"Okay, since everyone proposed to attack the Thirteen Villages, I also support it." Jiang Pei supported, "But today we discussed this time, and we didn't call the Tiger God, should we inform the Tiger God?" ”

Hou Yin said: "The meaning of the Tiger God, everyone must know that the scout we sent out did not return, so he did not make a specific battle plan, and it is very likely that the plan we are discussing now will be overturned in a row." ”

Gu Qidun said: "For such a major matter, I think we should let the Tiger God know that the Tiger God is not an outsider, and he is also here for the Tujia." ”

There are also people who oppose it: "Such a good opportunity, if we don't grasp it, we will lose it, besides, this time we are going to save the Tujia people in the thirteen villages, save them, we have arranged well, we can still get out." ”

"Yes, if the time is arranged, we can rush back to the village that night and let Hou Ping's people suffer a dumb loss."

"Patriarch, can you inform the Tiger God about this matter, let's listen to what he means." Goochton insisted.

Jiang Pei looked embarrassed, he looked at the leaders, and said: "The meaning of the tiger god, we have to obey, but this time is urgent, and it is the news of the Tujia who just escaped from the thirteen villages, so it can't be wrong." ”

Hou Yin said: "Time does not allow us to wait, this time we will not send many people, mainly for the purpose of rescuing the people of the Thirteen Villages, a quick battle, so there is no problem if you don't notice, to be rescued ten."

The Tujia people of Sanzhai will notify the tiger god again. ”

"Since everyone has agreed, we will immediately arrange manpower to go to the Thirteen Villages to rescue the imprisoned Tujia people." "This time, Gu Qidun and Xi Zebu led 2,000 Tujia soldiers to the Thirteen Villages. ”

Seeing that the craftsman said this, Gucciton couldn't hold on any longer, so he had to follow the patriarch's order: "Yes, patriarch." ”

The news soon reached Wang Laohu's ears, after all, such a major event as sending troops, this could not be done without a little movement, Wang Qingqing saw everyone go out of the village, felt very strange, and inquired only to know that it was Gu Qidun who led people to attack the thirteen villages.

Wang Laohu was furious, he couldn't sit still, the craftsman had just walked from here, and he promised well, and suddenly he did something that backfired.

But after thinking about it, did you worry too much about it?

Will the news brought back by the Tujia who escaped from the Thirteen Villages be fake? This cannot be doubted, but the art of war, the formation of soldiers changes rapidly, maybe it is still like this one second, and the formation changes the next second.

I hope that the Tujia family can return safely, he thought.

It happened that Luo Yuyi and Bu Yu came to find Wang Laohu.

"Tiger God." Luo Yuyi shouted as soon as he entered the door

"Miss Luo Yuyi." Wang Laohu called.

"Aunt Qingqing is also there?" Luo Yuyi said.

Wang Qingqing responded.

"There is a big wedding of little sisters in Tujia Village tonight, and I am here to invite the tiger god to participate." Luo Yuyi said.

"The big wedding of the Tujia people?" When Wang Laohu traveled to Zhangjiajie, he once saw the wedding customs of the Tujia wedding. As soon as he heard that he was participating in the Tujia wedding, Wang Laohu was also very interested, "If the Tujia family has good things, I will definitely come to participate." ”

"The tiger god can come, the Tujia people are happy." Butian Road.

"I heard that there is a saying about crying and marrying in Tujia marriages." Wang Laohu said, "Today is the day of the wedding, I don't know if this ceremony has passed." ”

"The groom's greeting procession hasn't arrived yet? If the tiger god goes, he can also listen to the crying wedding song of our Tujia. Luo Yuyi said.

"That's great, last time I heard fur for the first time, and I didn't have a good taste of the Tujia style, so I went with the two girls to listen to this crying marriage." Wang Laohu said.

Before leaving, Wang Laohu called the mountain seal and ordered him to bring a thousand tiger gods to pick up the Tujia people who went out.

The wedding customs of the Tujia people are similar to those of the Han people, the bride is still in her mother's house, wearing a new, red bridal dress, I saw her sitting in front of the bed, and a group of Tujia sisters accompanied her. The loud singing voice came out of her mouth, with a crying voice, and from the singing voice she sang, it could be heard that she was crying about the deep relationship with her parents for several years, as well as the relationship with her brother and sister-in-law.

Wang Laohu is still like looking at a diorama, which is the difference between the marriage customs of the Tujia and the Han people. He felt fresh.
