"Gao Sima, congratulations!" As soon as they met, Wu Lan sincerely congratulated: "You not only killed chickens and monkeys, shocked the surrounding local forces, but also recruited so many people, and the matter of digging a trench will definitely be successfully completed before the winter comes." Although Childe only awarded you the position of Right Commander this time, after this battle, I think it won't be long before Childe's order to officially appoint you as Sima of the other ministry will come down! ”

"Hahaha, rejoicing! If the task can be successfully completed, the task of defending you and your subordinates can also be greatly reduced, which is good for you and me. Also, Wu Duwei, you really praised it, and the shallow credit of your subordinates is not enough to see in Gongzi. In my opinion, it will not be until after Gongzi takes Chengdu City, or when the people in Zitong County take the initiative to surrender, Gongzi will judge you and me. Gao Xiang first said a few polite words, shook his head and said.

What Gao Xiang didn't expect was that Wu Lan suddenly said such a somewhat inconsequential sentence to him, saying, "Oh! Gao Sima, then, if you and I win the Great Sword Pass this year, what will Childe say? ”

"What, Captain Wu, you are going to attack the Great Sword Pass at this time!" Hearing this, Gao Xiang's eyes widened, stared at Wu Lan, and asked loudly in disbelief.

Wu Lan was not surprised that Gao Xiang would have this kind of reaction, he replied confidently: "Yes, after Captain Pondu saw Gao Sima's plan to attack that manor, he thought about it in the same way, we can completely use this method on the Great Sword Pass." Why, Gao Sima, isn't this the strategy you used, can't you? ”

"No, no, no, Captain Wu, absolutely not." Gao Xiang waved his hand and shook his head again and again to stop: "Captain Wu, you don't know, this method of attacking Jiancheng can be thought of by his subordinates. Actually, this is the first battle where Childe established his own power, and so on,...... And so it is. These are all things I inquired about from the soldiers of General Wei's direct troops.

Before leaving, I, like you now, am a little whimsical, and I want to use this method to win the Great Sword Pass and completely solve the worries of Guanghan County. Therefore, I specifically asked Childe about this matter. Childe replied to me at the time that this kind of siege strategy can indeed be applied to many places, and even some small cities have generals who are good at defending if they encounter this method, there is no way to deal with it at all.

However, there are two places where it cannot be applied.

The first is the danger in front of you and me - the Great Sword Pass. Unlike the city, the dangerous pass is only attacked from the north and south or the east and west, and if the enemy army launches a fierce attack from both sides at the same time, it is indeed possible to be captured, but because of the danger barrier, it is difficult for the friendly forces on both sides to achieve coordinated attacks, and the effect is not obvious.

The second is a super city like Chengdu City! Chengdu has a large population and a vast city wall, and no matter how many soldiers the besiegers recruit, they will not be able to attack the defenders at all. After the other party found out, it was completely possible to recruit strong men from the city to defend the city.

Here in the Great Sword Pass, the gate is very high, and none of the soldiers in our two units have undergone special siege training. If you use the tactics of harassment, if I were the guard of the city, I would not need to care about you at all. ”

"This ,......" Wu Lan's face became not so good-looking when he heard Gao Xiang's explanation, but since this was Jin Jue's words, he couldn't disobey it.

"Hahaha! Captain Wu, you don't have to be so discouraged. According to the estimation of his subordinates, it will not be long before good news arrives. When the time comes, you'll have to prepare your staff! When Gao Xiang saw it, he hurriedly laughed and changed the topic.

"Gao Sima, what do you mean by that?" Wu Lan asked suspiciously.

Gao Xiang shook his head with a smile and said: "Captain Wu, please forgive your subordinates for selling a pass first, this credit will be known in less than three days." ”

In this way, Wu Lan separated from Gao Xiang with a stomach full of worries.

After Gao Xiang returned, he began to arrange manpower non-stop, leading these people to dig trenches under the Dajian Pass, almost like that, although Yizhou is later than the north in winter, but at this time, the land has also been frozen by the cold winter. Therefore, the task is not difficult, but it is not easy to complete it successfully before the onset of winter.

Fortunately, Jin Jue took this into account, and before Gao Xiang left, he made a suggestion - the excavation work adopts a segmented contracting system, and the people who applied for the first day were recruited according to a team, and the team leader was called the squad leader, and the people voted for it themselves, and then carried out collective labor.

The next day, Gao Xiang can use the method of segmented lump sum, according to the highest record of yesterday's completion, double the amount, and give different rewards to the squad leader and the people.

Stipulate:

The team that couldn't complete this workload that day, from the squad leader to the people, all had no wages.

The team that completed this workload that day, each citizen in the team could get a salary of two yuan, and the squad leader could get five yuan.

And if the team can exceed this amount on the day, they can also get more wages, specific rewards, and specific analysis. For example, if yesterday's highest record was one mile, twice as many as two miles, and if one more mile is completed, then the reward for each citizen in the squad will be doubled, that is, four wen, and the reward for the squad leader will be tripled, that is, fifteen wen.

Before the effect of Jin Jue's suggestion appeared, Gao Xiang's good news reached the ears of him and Wu Lan.

It turned out that when Gao Xiang captured the manor of the thorn head, the news immediately spread to the county seat of Baishui County like wings.

Gao Xiang went with a lot of money to persuade the county lieutenant of Baishui to surrender to the Jin Jue army, but this county lieutenant was not as greedy for money as rumored, no, it should be said that this person was greedy for money, but he was even more desperate for his life, before the situation was finally clear, no matter how much he loved money, he didn't dare to bet casually.

However, Gao Xiang's 'amazing' record also shocked the county lieutenant, when he learned from the 'messenger' sent by Gao Xiang that Gao Xiang was actually a small soldier who had just been invested in the Jin Jue army for a short time, this wise county lieutenant not only did not move a cent of money, but he also concealed the brainless county order, and took the initiative to move the county Cheng in the city and the important subordinate officials Gong Cao and others, and surrendered the Jin Jue army together.

As for the unlucky county order, according to Jin Jue's instructions before he came, the county lieutenant and other demoted officials did not kill him, but immediately sent capable men to escort him to Xindu County.

And who would not like a loyal servant?
