Chapter 36: The Story of the Palace Maid's Suppression of Bandits
Seeing them like this, Ritsukagawa said again: "Okay, I'll stop here for these reminders, and then I'll tell you what I'm going to do when I invite you here." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info You think I'm going to let you go to the bandits, but that's not accurate. I mean to ask you to cooperate with me in suppressing the bandits. Don't talk yet,......"
Seeing that there was another palace maid in the crowd who wanted to speak, Ritsu Kagawa pressed her with his hand to stop her, and then he continued: "How to cooperate? That is, in the few days you have been here, you have to learn a few songs and dances that I have taught you. ”
Singing and dancing? Ritsukagawa called them here just to let them practice singing and dancing? What does this have to do with banditry? The palace ladies were puzzled.
Xiaozhu is a girl who talks a lot, and after listening to Ritsu Kagawa's words, she first asked suspiciously: "General, if you let us learn singing and dancing, we will be able to be physically strong, and then go to the mountains to fight with the bandits?"
It seems that this group of people has a lot of problems! Ritsukagawa scratched her head a little. However, as soon as he thought of his identity, he didn't want to talk nonsense with these palace maids anymore.
Glancing at Xiaozhu, Ritsukagawa said, "I'm sorry, I didn't invite you to explain my questions to you, but to listen to my orders." You just have to listen to me and do things, and don't talk so much about the rest. ”
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said to Xiaozhu and Xiaomei: "You two, come out ,......"
Three days later.
In the past few days, Guan Hu has continued to go to the four borders of the county with people to make a list of people, but the effect does not seem to be great, and not many homeless people have come out of the mountains after seeing the notices or slogans they posted.
When it comes to the government, the displaced people are generally distrustful. The common people can survive, at this time, almost all rely on a survival instinct of human beings, who would believe that the emperor can really change their fate? R> for such a result, everyone can only be helpless. The imperial court had not been able to protect the people before, so how could it ask the people to believe them all at once? It's definitely going to take a process.
Therefore, for Guan Hu, Ritsu Kagawa is not too demanding. For the matter is not his responsibility. Ritsu Xiangchuan just asked Guan Hu to continue doing this, and put the matter aside for the time being.
Not to mention the matter of An Min, Ritsu Kagawa found Liu Zhi and He Cai again, and seeing the two standing in front of him, Ritsu Kagawa asked them: "Two, have those people under your command been training these days?"
Here, in addition to Liu Zhi and He Cai's original people, there are another 1,000 people in Woniu Mountain. In this way, there are more than 1,000 people under their hands.
And so many people are here, of course, they can't be idle every day, they must also be trained, this is their most basic strength, how can they be slack?
When Liu Nao heard Ritsukagawa ask, they said, "Don't worry, my lord, I let them practice every day!" These people were all soldiers in the first place, how could we not train them? ”
After listening to the words of the two, Ritsu Kagawa nodded, and asked again: "Since we are practicing every day, then you see, what is the current combat strength of these people we have?"
As soon as he said this, Liu Zhi's spirit was shocked, and Liu Zhi asked, "My lord, are we going to do anything?"
Ritsu Kagawa didn't answer Liu Zhi's words, and only looked at He Cai. Liu Zhi's assessment of the army's combat effectiveness is completely a layman, and He Cai turned out to be a squad leader under Hu Jin, so he will have a certain understanding of these.
Seeing Ritsu Kagawa looking at him with his eyes, He Cai said: "Just a thousand of us, I can only say that the combat effectiveness is average." When we encounter an ordinary team, as long as the opponent does not have an advantage in numbers, we can still fight, and when we encounter a strong army, we will definitely be defeated. ”
That's Shang Ke I. Ritsukagawa said, "That's not bad." How did you collect the information on the bandits on the Fire Eagle Ridge that I asked you to collect in the past two days? ”
It seems that Ritsu Kagawa is really planning to do something to the bandits. Hearing him ask, Liu Zhi and the others thought to themselves. To his question, Liu Zhi replied: "We probably know the basic situation in the mountains."
"There are about four hundred strongmen in this group of strongmen on Fire Eagle Ridge. The leading guy is called Lin Yi. Originally, he was a hunter in the mountains, making a good steel fork. Archery is also good. The people he brought with him are indeed fierce, and it is not easy to deal with them. ”
Ritsu Kagawa said: "Our numbers are absolutely superior, so there is no chance of winning?"
He Cai said: "Although we have the advantage in numbers, if the two armies charge, we are not afraid of them. But the other side is cunning and tight, and will not fight us face to face at all. If we go into the mountains, don't say a thousand, it's two thousand, and we won't take advantage of it. ”
Ritsukagawa said, "In other words, outside the mountain, you are sure to defeat them."
He Cai said: "It won't be too difficult. However, how could the other party ......"
Before he finished speaking, Ritsu Kagawa already knew what he meant, so he stopped He Cai and said, "Of course it won't be too difficult to let them out of the mountain." I've figured out how to deal with them. ”
When Liu Zhihe heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What are you going to do?"
Ritsukagawa said: "Of course, it is to lure the snake out of the hole. Lure them out of the mountains with bait, and then you will lead them and surround them, and destroy them. I'm afraid you won't be able to hold them back. ”
He Cai said: "If you want to wipe out all of them at one time, our manpower is really not enough." But as long as most of them are wiped out, the rest will not be a problem. Go to war with them outside the mountains, and we have a great chance of winning. I just don't know what the adult's bait is and whether it is attractive enough. ”
Ritsukagawa said: "My bait, you all drool when you see it, let alone those bandits in the mountains." ……”
The next day, on a small dirt slope in the lawn of Wuling Township, near Huoying Ridge, a large group of men and horses appeared, a total of seventy or eighty.
Among these people were fifty or sixty strong men, a few middle-aged men with musical instruments in their hands, and twelve young women in bright clothes.
These people, needless to say, are Ritsukagawa and his men. Those twelve young women are naturally twelve palace maids such as Xiaomei and Xiaozhu.
Early in the morning, Ritsu Kagawa called Xiaomei and Xiaozhu up and brought them here.
Not far from the opposite side is the Fire Eagle Ridge, and in the middle is a large open field. Standing in the center of this dirt slope, Ritsukagawa faced Huoying Ridge, took a deep breath, and secretly said in his heart: Today, success or failure is here.
As soon as the dozens of strong men who came with him arrived, they began to move and set up a large flat and open area here.
After the ground was leveled, the strong men laid a layer of wooden planks on the ground, and the area of the planks was quite large, nearly 100 square meters.
Then, Ritsukagawa asked the strong men who accompanied him to raise honor guards and pennants, so that they could be seen no matter near or far.
The honor guard pennant is too bright and conspicuous.
After everything was done, Ritsu Kagawa moved out a Taishi chair. Sitting there, Ritsu Kagawa opened his mouth like an old lady and shouted, "Xiaomei, Xiaozhu."
Xiaomei and Xiaozhu, as palace maids in the palace, have never suffered like today, and they were called up early in the morning and drove dozens of miles of mountain roads to this place where birds don't.
They were wondering and complaining in their hearts, not knowing what the hell Ritsukagawa was doing when they brought them here, when they heard Ritsukagawa's call, the two of them stepped forward and replied to Ritsukagawa: "General, the slave is here."
Ritsu Kagawa looked at the two of them and said, "Xiaomei, Xiaozhu, you two, now sing those songs that I have been teaching you to sing for the past two days, let me listen to them."
