Listening to Xi Zhicai's words, Zhang Shiping's chest was filled with a heroic spirit that was rarely seen in his life. has been trading for half his life, although he is also extremely successful, but due to the limitations of the world, he has always been looked down upon. Besides, doing business is about harmony and making money, if there is something, it will be fooled if it can be passed, where is he accounting too much?

Later, he and Su Shuang were valued by Guo Bin and were assigned to serve as the head of the three cities outside the Saiwai, and were admired by tens of thousands of people. However, the mentality of the two of them has never been reversed, and they have been running the three cities outside the Saiwai with the mentality of businessmen, which is the reason why the three cities outside the Saiwai have been so fast, but at the same time, it has also caused the weakness of their military strength.

To this day, although Zhang Shiping has become a very successful "mayor", because he "follows the rules", Guo Bin has already set a development strategy for him, so he rarely feels the pride and self-confidence that he should have as a pioneer. Until now, Guo Bin led the army to Shenglong Valley to fight hard, and the three cities outside the Saiwai were in danger. From today on, he Zhang Shiping is also a leader who can call on all the people to rise up against the invaders, and he is an important figure who can control the lives and deaths of all people.

Xi Zhicai looked at the change in Zhang Shiping's momentum, and felt very relieved. It is really a great blessing for the lord to be able to get such a talented talent, and now he has made a major breakthrough in his mentality, to guard the northern frontier. After this battle, Zhang Shiping guarded the northern frontier, and the lord should be able to go south with confidence.

What Xi Zhicai didn't know was that Zhang Shiping had such a metamorphosis in his mentality, because of Guo Bin's words "If you can't do anything, you can mobilize the residents of the city to defend your family and the country". This sentence is equivalent to giving Zhang Shiping the power to act cheaply in the three cities outside the Saiwai, and also gives him great trust.

In fact, in the feudal era, mobilizing the common people was a very taboo behavior. The so-called people can make it happen, but they can't know it. Regardless of the ambiguity in the understanding of this sentence due to the different readings of the sentences, no matter what the interpretation is, it is to educate the ruler on how to serve the common people.

Only the obedient sheep will follow the sheep without making mistakes, and only the ignorant and not independent thinking will be controlled by the thoughts of others. Therefore, the rulers at this time will unify the thoughts of the common people, will "burn poems and books and clarify the law", and will "depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone". Because once the common people have their own independent and free thoughts, it will have a counterproductive effect similar to "defending the mouth of the people is worse than preventing Sichuan".

It is precisely because the rulers are jealous of the peasant rebels such as Chen She, Wu Guang, and even Zhang Jiao that they are afraid of the common people's assemblies and associations. As for mobilizing the common people to rise up and fight to defend the city, they have neither the ability nor the confidence. In the eyes of those in power, this kind of power beyond their control is terrible and should never appear, so the rulers will try to avoid it, and even in some times, large gatherings are expressly forbidden.

Guo Bin and Zhang Shiping didn't realize this kind of taboo thing, but Xi Zhicai knew, but regarded it as the embodiment of Guo Bin's eloquence and strong confidence and control. Moreover, in the current situation, the situation is indeed manageable.

It is no wonder that Zhang Shiping did not expect that the residents of the city were also prisoners of the Yellow Turban Army who were far from ordinary people in combat effectiveness, but he was really immersed in commercial trade and the exhibition of the three cities outside the Seychelles.

Regarding this strategic arrangement, Xi Zhicai really deliberately said it to Zhang Shiping. Because he and Su Shuang's positions are very special, if they want to better implement Guo Bin's plan, they need to fully exert their subjective initiative to achieve unexpected results. If Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang do not have a good understanding of Guo Bin's policy in the three cities outside the Saiwai, it will lead to the poor implementation of many things, resulting in a lot of unnecessary internal friction. If it is more serious, it will even affect Guo Bin's layout of the entire Saiwai.

Therefore, it is very important for the appointment of Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang.

Because of the breakthrough in Zhang Shiping's mentality, Xi Zhicai gradually put his mind at ease and put the focus of his consideration on this battle. Looking at the Xianbei army divided into two parts outside the city, Xi Zhicai's thoughts gradually drifted away. Whether this battle can achieve the desired results, in the final analysis, the key still depends on Guo Bin's battle in Shenglong Valley. If Guo Bin can stop the main force of the Xianbei army, or even repel it, then the siege of the three cities of Sevan will naturally be resolved. But if even Guo Bin can't stop the main army led by Xianbei Dadan Yu Helian, and wait until the Xianbei army meets under the three cities outside the Saiwai, then it will be extremely difficult to hold the city.

Because if Guo Bin is defeated, the morale of the three cities outside the Saiwai will inevitably be greatly depressed, and the Han soldiers who are already untrained will be lost, and then there will be a lot of mistakes in the offensive and defensive battles of the city. At that time, with the strong mobility and attack power of the Xianbei people, Guo Bin and the others are afraid that they will not even have the opportunity to withdraw to the Central Plains.

Although Xi Zhicai has great confidence in Guo Bin, the other party is the most elite unit in the entire Xianbei clan after all, and they have an advantage in numbers. Although you have the advantage of the terrain, it is extremely difficult to win.

Just as Xi Zhicai was standing on the tower of the city to observe the enemy's situation worriedly, the heralds rushed to him.

Seeing that person, Xi Zhicai, who has always been mature and steady, had a tense face, rushed up in a few steps, and snatched the small bamboo tube in his hand. This is a bamboo seal that is tied to the feet of carrier pigeons to convey information. Although the Xianbei army under the city thought that they had sealed off the three cities outside the city, where did they think that the Han people still had such a method of communication?

Pull out the stopper on the bamboo tube, take out the extremely fine paper rolled in it, and unfold it, only to see that it reads: "Great victory in the Valley of Thang Long, slash and company." ”

This handwriting of Guo Bin made Xi Zhicai almost jump up excitedly. It goes without saying how much credit the battle and company are, not to mention how the imperial court will reward them, just in terms of the current comparison of the strength of the enemy and us, there has been a great change. He Lian is dead, so the Xianbei Middle Road army of this southern expedition naturally does not exist, and the 20,000 Xianbei cavalry outside the city are much worse than their own in terms of quantity, equipment level and combat effectiveness.

Although Zhang Shiping was also agitated in his chest, he had been paying attention to Xi Zhicai's reaction, and seeing a trace of excitement flashing on his face, he hurriedly stepped forward and said excitedly: "Military advisor, but the lord has news?" ”

Xi Zhicai nodded, handed him the note in his hand, and fell into deep thought.

Zhang Shiping couldn't care about anything else at this time, and after glancing at the note, this man in his forties was actually jumping three feet high, and he couldn't stop muttering: "Sure enough, it's worthy of the lord, it's really worthy of the lord!" Then he came back to his senses and said to Xi Zhicai: "Strategist, what should I do now?" Do I still need to keep the information confidential? ”

Looking at Zhang Shiping, who was holding back the excitement in his heart, Xi Zhicai couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why be so cautious? Since it is such good news, it is natural to inform the whole city in order to calm people's hearts. ”

Now that he had the support of Xi Zhicai, Zhang Shiping relieved himself, and hurriedly went to gather the leaders of the Xianbei chieftains and Han caravans in the city, and rushed to the county office. Since Guo Bin has beheaded him and Lian, the threat of the Xianbei Middle Road Army will naturally be resolved, and all that remains is to stabilize people's hearts and hold on until Guo Bin returns. Since the news of Guo Bin's victory, the 20,000 Xianbei iron horsemen outside the city, who were originally as heavy as a mountain in their hearts, have now become extremely insignificant and are completely ignored in Zhang Shiping's eyes.

Seeing Zhang Shiping leaving in a hurry, Xi Zhicai ordered left and right, and found more than a dozen Xianbei soldiers with very loud voices, each holding a horn made of iron sheets to the north wall of the central city, which was the main direction of attack of the Xianbei army. I only listened to the soldiers through the simple megaphone in their hands, in Xianbei language, to the city to inform the news of their deaths.

"In the Thang Long Valley, and Lian Confer! If you want to live, surrender! ”

At the beginning, both soldiers and generals in the Xianbei army heard it in a fog, and after hearing it clearly and thinking about it for a while, they had hesitations in their hearts. In this way, the Xianbei army had no fighting spirit, everyone was panicked, and although they did not retreat immediately, they were also powerless to fight again. Because the people in the city were very reasonable, otherwise how would they know that Helian Da Danyu would pass through the Thang Long Valley? However, although they hesitated, they did not dare to withdraw immediately, because Gain and his company's ability to fight and his skillful skills were too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and if it was a rumor spread by the Han and retreated without authorization, they would definitely be settled by the autumn queen.

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

Let's not talk about the hesitant Xianbei army outside the three cities, just talk about Guo Bin, who is marching south with an army of 10,000.

Since Helian is dead, and the main army of 30,000 led by him has also suffered heavy casualties and scattered birds and beasts, the remaining problem is no longer a military problem, but a political problem. Because the battle was unexpectedly smooth, and Xi Zhicai was not on the front line, even if he passed the book with flying pigeons, it would be delayed for at least two days. Therefore, in the face of the Xianbei army at this time, how to deal with it is up to Guo Bin to make his own decision.

After the initial killing of Helian, there were two diametrically opposed opinions on how to deal with the follow-up troops of the main force of Xianbei. Su Shuang's opinion is to beat the water dogs, since the victory has been decided, he must take advantage of the victory to pursue, if he can uproot the Xianbei royal court in one fell swoop, it will be more ideal. Guo Jia, on the other hand, advocates that moderation should be done and not excessive persecution. Because although Helian died, the follow-up troops of the main force of the Xianbei army were a new force, although our army was victorious, it was a tired soldier who had been fighting for many days in a row, and his own side was not accustomed to horse warfare, and the military victory or defeat of the two sides was still difficult to predict, not to mention that this was not in line with the strategic layout of the entire grassland.

Just when the two sides were arguing, the appearance of a person played a decisive role. ()
