Chapter Seventy-Seven: Finding Out the News
Fei Mojia's weak recounting made Feng Liang and the other four people tremble. Such a seemingly simple but absolutely effective strategy, once put into action, the lethality to the enemy will be huge, if Gao Yue is not clear, with a heroic heart, he will rashly attack, it can not be said that it will be a big defeat.
Feng Liang secretly shouted in his heart. Suddenly thinking of something, he asked again: "What should you do with the two thousand reinforcements who are hiding in the mountains, eating and closing?" Moreover, in case the enemy army attacks, the county town is surrounded and the water is impassable, how can the city communicate and negotiate with the reinforcements outside the city in a timely manner? ”
Tachai was also confused: "I was about to ask a question. Since it is hidden, it is not good for you to transport grain and grass to the mountains in the city. Is it nothing more than picking up the dead of night to deliver? But if the enemy comes to attack and the city is besieged after three or five days, how can you send food out? The reinforcements in the mountains have been without food for a long time, and after the rest of the month, I am afraid that I will starve to death first. ”
Fei Mojia turned his head to look at his mother-in-law, and saw that she had already put on the clothes that had been torn apart, and that no one had come to do that evil thing, so he sighed and said, "That's it." Saying a word is also a leak, simply pour beans into the bamboo tube, and make a bright picture, since you promised me, you will promise not to hurt our mother-in-law, and the man must speak accurately. ”
Duochai Zhengse said: "Swear by the sacred mountain argali, as long as you are willing to tell the truth, we will not hurt you." ”
In the area of Longnan, most of the people of Qiang worship and believe in argali, and take sheep as a totem. Some even regard sheep as ancestors and are extremely respectful. They like to raise sheep, wear sheepskin coats, and weave wool threads, and sheep are often used as sacrifices in rituals. Even the magic weapons held by the mages and sorcerers in the clan are all made of sheep's horns, sheepskins, sheep bones, etc.
Therefore, the locals swore by the sheep god, and no one did not believe it. In a way, this is more effective than black and white letters, signature and drawing.
Femojia frowned, but his heart was much calmer. After a period of observation, he found that among the four people, the one with a kitchen knife looked like a Huns, and he was rude and rude; It seems to be the one who is a Qiang person, who acts calmly and capably, but feels more decent, and the hateful Han man who behaves rudely to his mother-in-law is always expressionless, and his actions are swift and sharp.
But the strange thing is that these three people, who are obviously not like ordinary people, actually treat the thin boy with respect and obedience, in other words, among the four people, it is the thin boy who is the leader, although any one of the three seems to be able to knock down the boy in an instant. This is among the Qiang people who pride themselves on their military might, and people can't understand why at all.
But no matter why, since the thin boy is the leader, he has to nod his head in everything. Fei Mojia didn't answer Duochai, but only looked at Feng Liang. Feng Liang knew what he meant, so he said solemnly: "What he said is what I meant." You can rest assured. ”
Fei Mojia put his mind at ease and said in a muffled voice: "The Tushan where our reinforcements are hiding is only one mile away from the county seat. Therefore, we dug tunnels in the city, and usually used small cars to transport grain, grass and ordnance, and there was no problem. ”
Feng Liang and the others suddenly realized, and couldn't help but say: "This is really a good plan!" Your big leader, Yang Maosou, is also a brilliant hero. ”
Fei Mojia snorted, and after all, he couldn't help but say: "This is a great idea, to be honest, where can we be recital!" It is said that this was the idea of a Han gentleman. We Qiang men, when it comes to catching and killing, we are not afraid of anyone at all, the big leader is over fifty years old now, and he is still as heroic as he was back then. But when it comes to making suggestions and thinking of some conspiracy ideas, we can't do it, otherwise why will we always suffer at the hands of you Han people. ”
"What do you mean?"
"This is a good way to conceal the attack inside and outside, it is really not what the big leader thought, it is said that a Han gentleman recently gave us the idea. What are the specific causes and consequences, the ins and outs, I have a low position, but I really don't know. ”
Duochai thought for a while and said, "In addition to taking the tunnel and the city gate, is there a third way to get out of the city?" ”
Femojia pondered for a moment and said, "Normally, no. However, there is an inland river in the southwest of the city, which is not big, but the river leads to the outside of the city, and in the summer, there is only half the size of the water that can swim out from the downstream of the river to gamble. ”
"Is it difficult to swim?"
"My neighbor boy on the street has swam through, saying that he can see it when he gets out of the water, and he can only swim through one person at a time, and the difficulty is not difficult, just hold his breath more."
When Duochai heard this, he whispered something to Feng Liang. The two were momentarily indecided.
Zan Youdi interjected with a wooden face: "Are you all finished?" Don't ask for anything to hide. ”
Fei Mojia said angrily: "I have finished what should be said." We Qiang people, how can there be nothing that doesn't count? Uzi has been in love with me since I was a child, and you use her to coerce me, and I can't help it. If you hadn't made such a humble ...... With such a method, I would not be able to say a word even if I died. ”
When the woman heard this, she was moved to tears again, and threw herself on Femogar's shoulder, and hugged Femogar tightly from behind, rubbing his cheek and head. Uzi, it seems, is the woman's name.
When Femojia finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the room. Feng Liang made a look, and the four of them went to the corner and discussed in a low voice. The woman was frightened and frightened, but she did not dare to untie the robe that bound her man's arms in private, but hugged Femojia tightly and trembled.
Femojia soaked in the cold water, and now he reacted, shivering with cold. When he saw that the woman was eager to get into his body, he reluctantly smiled and comforted her, "Uzi, don't be afraid! They swore by the sheep of God, and they will not hurt us, so do not be afraid. ”
"However, when did the Han people count what they said? They will only bully and enslave us Qiangdi. The woman sobbed quietly, and Femojia was speechless for a moment, only feeling like a numb heart.
The room was silent, except for the low sobs of the woman, and the slight ripple of water in the basin as Femogar flipped her body. When the woman reacted, she hurriedly stopped crying, wiped away her tears, lifted Femojia up from the basin, took a dry cloth from the side to wipe the water on the man's body, served him to sit down, and put on clean and thick trousers for him first.
The woman served Femojia and put on her pants and boots, and took some clothes to cover the man. She said in a firm whisper: "Lang Jun, it's death, let's die together, I'm no longer afraid, it's a big deal to die." When Femojia saw her like this, his heart was sad, and he didn't know what to say, so he nodded heavily.
As if several hours had passed, he finally saw Feng Liang and the four of them, stopped whispering, and walked towards Fei Mojia together, unable to see the happy and angry looks of the four of them, Fei Mojia only felt that his heart suddenly hung up.
Qi Fuyan and Zan Youdi didn't speak, so they re-tied Fei Mojia and the woman back to back, arm around arm, and when the tie was extremely strong and it was impossible to break free, Qi Fuyan found two more pieces of clothing and firmly gagged the couple's mouths.
Fei Mojia tried hard to block in front of the woman, and stared at Feng Liang with round bloodshot eyes.
Feng Liang didn't pay attention to it, and waited until Qi Fu Yanzhan had a younger brother to clean up, and then said to Fei Mojia: "Since I promised not to hurt the two of you, I Han people will do what I say." But for the sake of insurance, I have to wronged the two of you to stay like this for a while. Don't be afraid to scream, we'll let you go before we go. ”
With that, Feng Liang raised his chin, and the four of them quickly and softly left Fei Mojia's house.
Walking on the street, the four of them resumed their dress as burden-bearers. The four of them walked through the flow of people coming and going, and with the explanation of Fei Mojia, they turned one intersection after another, and finally stopped.
Diagonally across the street, an apparently newly renovated building appears on the corner. The gray walls, about one and a half zhang (four and a half meters high), are not too lazy to paint, and the color of the mud and mortar is exposed to the air. The walls are uneven, like ugly faces.
Although this building seems simple, it occupies a lot of land, and the east-west span is ten zhang long, and the north-south depth must be six or seven zhang. In the whole building, there was only one door, and the soldiers at the door, fully armed, looked around, and as soon as someone approached, they immediately raised their spears and shouted a reprimand for people to leave immediately.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this should be the place where the food is stored in the city." Feng Liang turned his head to the three subordinates and said with some concern. According to Fei Mojia's confession, all the grain and grass in Xihe County, including the grain and grass that had just been transported from Xiabi City not long ago, were temporarily transported here for unified dispatch and unified care.
Therefore, after discussion, Feng Liang and others felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So it was unanimously decided that this granary must be destroyed. As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. During a war, if the grain and grass of a city are destroyed or robbed by the enemy, it will be a devastating blow to your morale.
Once the grain and grass in Xihe City are destroyed, the morale of the guards in Bute City will be greatly damaged, and the important thing is that the reinforcements in ambush in the mountains outside the city will inevitably be panicked when they hear the news, and they will no longer have combat strength. Even if there are enemy generals to boost morale, but the soldiers are hungry and have no strength to fight, and when Xia Biancheng learns the news, and then hurriedly transports grain, Xihe City is estimated to have fallen.
After some discussion, the four of them felt that destroying this granary was of great significance to their enemies, so they strengthened their determination. But when I came to the actual situation, the level of security here was even stricter than that at the city gate, and it was impossible for a drop of water to penetrate it.
