Chapter Eighty-Nine: Things Are Getting Bigger
"Therefore, facing danger head-on and daring to take risks are essential qualities for a good general. www.biquge.info Of course, we do not encourage our subordinates to die in vain, but in the case of fully assessing the risks, we should make sufficient preparations in advance, and use reasonable means to resolve the troubles that may be encountered, and then let the soldiers take limited risks. In this way, what seems to be a danger becomes an elaborate plan. β
"Taking Li Sui and the others infiltrating the Qiuguan Mansion this time as an example, it was a limited adventure carried out with full analysis and adequate preparation. First of all, through observation, the king judged that the other party was a fraudulent surrender; Then, they were separated for questioning, and from their conversations, they learned that Jiang Juan was Ji Jing's nephew, which further confirmed the fact that they had surrendered. That's when the plan was made. β
"According to the plan, after Li Sui and the others infiltrate the Qiu Official Mansion, they should be taken back to the camp to rest. After everyone fell asleep, they sent a few people to set fire to various places in the mansion, and Li Sui and other good men sneaked into the location of Ji Jing and other leaders, and when the fire broke out in chaos, they took the opportunity to take down all these leaders, so that a coup d'Γ©tat could be wiped out invisibly. β
Seeing everyone humbly listening to his young man's eloquent conversation, Ji Yan felt very satisfied, paused and said: "Of course, the so-called plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, once the plan is launched, what emergencies will occur in it, this is something that no one can predict, and it can only be solved by the implementer's improvisation." β
At this time, Li Sui and a group of forbidden troops who had infiltrated the Qiuguan Mansion were having a headache.
The plan of the Son of Heaven is to set fire to cause chaos, and then fish in troubled waters and take people in chaos. After Li Sui entered the Qiuguan Mansion, he heard that Ji Jing and the others were all gathering in the main building, where there were many sentry posts and strong defenses, and they couldn't get in at all, which was troublesome.
Later, Li Sui heard from the private soldiers that thousands of war horses had gathered in the stables, and he had an idea, so he changed the plan of arson everywhere to burn the stables, thinking that these war horses would be released to create chaos for the Qiu Guanfu to see if he could get a chance in the chaos.
They quietly touched the stable after the others were asleep, and after solving a few guards, they were about to set it on fire, but they found that the back wall of the stable was made of bricks and stones, and they were not afraid of fire.
When a guard of the Forbidden Army inspected the back wall, he found that there were a lot of stakes on it, which he thought were used to tie horses, so he suggested to Li Sui: "We can attach these stakes to the horses, and when the fire starts, the horses will be frightened and will run around, and then the wall can be pulled down." β
Li Sui's eyes lit up, yes, this method is good! But a question immediately came to mind: "How can I connect without a rope?" β
Another forbidden soldier said: "The rope is not simple! There was a lot of straw in the stables, from which ropes could be quickly braided. β
"Good, good!" Li Sui was overjoyed, and immediately arranged for half of the people to weave ropes, and the other part of the people divided a few people to let the wind out, and a few people to prepare for arson.
After a while, the ropes were braided, and they carefully attached the stakes in the back wall to the horses, each of which was connected to a horse in order to increase the pull. For the sake of safety, Li Sui asked the two horns above the back wall to be connected to several horses. After tossing for an hour, I finally completed all this, but fortunately, we have been training for more than a month of riding and archery, and we have a better understanding of the habits of horses, but we did not frighten the horses. And the people of the Qiuguan Mansion for the battle in the early morning of tomorrow, everyone rested early, and did not arrange too many people to patrol the night, only one night patrol team arrived here for a whole hour, and the team of only five people, Li Sui and the others easily solved it.
When the fire started, the horses immediately panicked, and soon dragged down the back wall, and then rushed out. Everything was perfect, but the destructive power of these horses was beyond Li Sui's imagination.
More than 2,000 war horses turned the Qiuguan Mansion upside down, and it was a mess, not only trampling to death and injuring hundreds of people, but also destroying several corridors and countless beautiful scenery, and even almost made Ji Ying die. This sudden change made Ji Jing furious, so he ordered all the private soldiers to be gathered, and the six armies on the periphery were also mobilized, and the entire team of tens of thousands of people formed a huge circle in the compound of the Qiuguan Mansion, besieging thousands of galloping horses.
The innermost circle of people each held their long weapons and pointed them at the herd, so that they did not dare to approach the crowd, but could only circle in the circle; The next group of people are good at harnessing, each holding a leash, and from time to time they will lasso a horse and drag it out of the ring. Although this method was clumsy and slow, it gradually reduced the number of horses in the circle, and at this rate, I am afraid that it will be possible to control all the galloping horses before dawn.
At this time, Ji Jing, Yang Han and other leaders were all standing in the team to watch everyone catch horses, and there was a circle of guards around them, and it was almost impossible to do it.
After Li Sui and the others set the fire, they hid in the pigpen next to the stable, and after all the horses rushed out, they followed back to the compound. Looking at the scene in the compound, Li Sui couldn't help but shake his head secretly, he didn't expect that his approach was counterproductive, not only failed to create an opportunity to fish in troubled waters, but instead allowed the troops in the Qiuguan Mansion to gather together, he sighed secretly in his heart: Heaven does not fulfill his wish, I am afraid that he will not be able to complete the task assigned by the Son of Heaven!
At this moment, Jiang Juan found this group of ragged people, and knew that they were members of the guards who had returned from the palace, so he shouted: "Bah! A few of you, hurry up and stand in line. β
Li Sui and the others thought that they had been recognized by him, so they couldn't help but get nervous, and approached the team with a cower, but found that Jiang Juan didn't look at them anymore, and went to call the other guards to gather, so they were relieved. Li Sui looked up, and suddenly his heart became excited, he found that the position he was standing in was not too far away from Ji Jing and the others, was the opportunity coming again?
Ji Jingzheng and Yang Han were discussing the fire: "If you want to say that the fire is not strange when the weather is dry, but the collapse of the back wall is very strange, is someone to blame?" β
Yang Han groaned: "That's not necessarily, Si Kou, please think about it, the stable has been repaired for many years, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no damage to the back wall." When the fire broke out, the horses were bound to rush out, but they accidentally hit the back wall, and happened to hit the damage, and the horses were so strong that they collapsed the whole wall. β
Ji Jing shook his head and said: "Although it can barely be said in this way, the old man is still a little unambiguous in his heart!" β
"Isn't there a few guards in the stables? Ask them to come and ask, and you'll find out. β
"According to the firefighters, all the guards died in the stables, and they were all burned black."
"Oh?" Yang Han's eyes shot two sharp rays: "In this way, it really looks like a human being!" β
"The old man is wondering, will there be spies in the team that comes back tonight?" Ji Jing said in a low voice.
"Impossible, right?" Yang Han said suspiciously: "Jiang Juan is your nephew, and he has always been loyal, so it is impossible to help outsiders calculate his maternal uncle, right?" β
It is precisely for this reason that the old man tries not to think in the direction of spies. However, such a serious thing has happened, and the attack originally launched by Yinshi cannot be carried out as scheduled, so it is better to simply check the personnel who came back last night. Speaking of this, Ji Jing shouted: "Judge Jiang, come here!" β
