However, although the momentum is full, after all, the other party has a team of thousands of people, and my side is only a hundred, people say that the barbarian soldiers are good at field warfare, although I am very confident in the physical fitness of the personnel in my team, but just rashly take people to the death, it is inevitable that they will be caught and humiliated, or directly torn to pieces.

Therefore, on the way down the mountain, I strictly ordered everyone, including the herald who had just arrived, not to say that they were going to relieve the siege of Taoyuan County, but only to go to another place to play, and those who violated the order would be immediately killed!

Compared with the bloodless herald, Zheng Liang's face was full of excitement, and I said to him: "Don't exaggerate your boy's expression, if you are suspected by the people under the mountain, I will take people back to the city directly." Frightened, he immediately pretended to be very serious, and I didn't look at him no matter how awkward I looked.

Qing'er obviously hadn't experienced this kind of scene, she surprisingly didn't stop me, just held my hand down the mountain, I wanted to send someone to send her back, and seeing her like this was a move in my heart, suppressing such thoughts.

The soldiers at the foot of the hill apparently did not know what the herald had told me, and they had been resting together and gathered together as soon as they saw me coming down.

I pretended to be relaxed and said to them: "The county magistrate of Taoyuan County heard that I have been bored recently, and sent someone to tell me that he has been holding a big sacrifice there recently, and hopes that I can participate in and preside over it, so let's go with me!" When you get there, you are naturally indispensable for good wine and meat! ”

The soldiers at the bottom of the mountain cheered, and only the dozen or so people who came down with me looked at each other, but because of my previous strict orders, none of them dared to say more.

From Xiaoxi Mountain to Taoyuan County, it is less than 100 miles, and geographically speaking, you can reach Taoyuan as long as you walk upstream along the Yuan River. Since I became the Taishou of Wuling County, I may have been influenced by my husband before, and I had to study the map first whenever I went to a place, so although I still don't know much about the political affairs in Wuling County, I have deeply studied the landscape situation in Wuling County and which location is suitable for using soldiers.

I told him that I didn't know anything about the terrain in the county and the location of the counties, or it would be bad if I couldn't answer the test in the future. Gong Zhi also thought that I was right, so he sent someone to find me the most detailed map of Wuling County.

I always let people take this map with me every time I go out, although I only walk around the county town most of the time, and follow the signs above to tour the nearby mountains and rivers, but this time when it comes to the real thing, it can be regarded as a real use.

The team traveled more than ten miles, and during the first break, Qing'er and I sat in the shade of a tree laid with a mat and unfolded a map of Wuling County.

The map shows that the Yuanjiang River is to the south of Taoyuan County, and Yuannan County is across the river from Taoyuan County in the southeast of Taoyuan County. Although the ancient maps do not have a very detailed scale, judging from the scale labeling at the bottom of the map, the distance between the two counties should be less than ten miles.

When I thought of this, my heart moved, and the prototype of a plan appeared in my head. However, sometimes there will be some deviations between the planned things and the actual things, but fortunately, I have always carried the seal of Taishou with me, and thinking of this, I ordered a team leader to take a few people on horseback to see if there was a ferry in front of me that could cross the river. The team leader took people away with a surprised face, Zheng Liang also looked at me with puzzled eyes, I waved my hand to him, and motioned for him not to speak.

Soon the men who had been sent out came back and told me that there was a small ferry in front of me, but that there was only one small boat, and only four or five people could be crossed at a time, and that it would take three or four hours for so many of us to cross the river.

I nodded with satisfaction and continued with everyone. Sure enough, after less than half an hour, I saw the ferry described by the team leader.

The captain of the ferry was actually a young man in his twenties, and he was obviously a little at a loss for the sudden appearance of so many government soldiers. I asked him why he was a captain at such a young age, and he told me that his father went to Taoyuan County to get medicine for his mother, and there was no one here, so he asked him to take over for a day.

He had obviously heard that the Taishou of this county was a very young scholar, so he was not too surprised to look at me. But he clearly had a strong curiosity about me, which I could easily tell from his eyes.

At this point, I really can't hide it anymore. I gathered the team and announced in public the order to appoint Zheng Liang as the captain of the personal guard. This position has always been held by myself before, and now the sudden announcement that Zheng Liang will be in charge will inevitably cause a lot of discussion.

I pressed down my hand to silence them, sat down on a bluestone slab, spread out the map of Wuling County, and asked Zheng Liang and the other nine squad leaders to gather and say that there were barbarian soldiers ahead.

Except for Zheng Liang, the other nine squad leaders were taken aback when they heard that they were going to fight with the barbarians, but in order not to cause a commotion among them and even the entire hundred-man team, what I told them was that there was a small barbarian leader who took more than a hundred barbarian soldiers to Taoyuan County to loot property. This amount is obviously acceptable to them, so although they may be a little dissatisfied with me because I lied to them before, but because of my identity, they are all young and vigorous, and they also want to make some contributions, so they can still listen to me very carefully.

Among them, only Zheng Liang looked at me with a complicated expression, I knew what he wanted to say, but I didn't bother to care about him, and directly told them my plan.

My plan is very simple, I will take a team to cross the Yuanjiang River to Yuannan County to gather the military strength there, for an ordinary county town, although there will not be too many soldiers, but at least three or five hundred people should be available.

According to my estimates, it will take at least two hours from entering the county seat of Yuannan to gathering soldiers to the edge of the Yuan River, and it will take at most one hour to go up the river from here to the county seat of Taoyuan. It's past noon, which means that even if I can gather my troops as soon as possible on the south bank of the Yuan River, it's almost dusk. And the order I gave to Zheng Liang was to keep leading people to lurk not far outside Taoyuan County, and once the enemy leader led people across the river to attack me, I would try to block their follow-up reinforcements as much as possible, and retreat as soon as possible after I captured the enemy leader.

Zheng Liang expressed his doubts about my plan after I finished speaking, he asked me how the leader of the enemy could cross the river to attack me, even if they wanted to attack in a hurry, there might not be a boat, he begged me to let him attack the enemy directly, but I glared at him and said: "I said General Zheng, even if you are strong in martial arts, you should be careful about your brothers, you must know that the enemy is very "strong"! I deliberately accentuated the word powerful, and I knew he could understand the meaning of the two words. I said to him: "A good general cannot rely only on his own bravery, but must pay the least price while achieving victory, and if you dare to disobey my orders in the first action, even if you defeat all the enemies alone, I will cut off your head!" ”

Zheng Liang had never seen me be so angry with him, and in front of my powerful momentum, he only had Nuo Nuo's consent. In fact, when I said to him so eloquently, I was largely not alone with him.

In fact, there are too many variables in my plan, and I don't even know the current situation of Taoyuan County and Yuannan County now, and the reason why I am so strict with Zheng Liang is because I want to suppress my anxiety about the future.
