Chapter 140: Pre-War Arrangements

In the mayor's mansion, Jia Nian sat on the main seat and looked around.

"That's the way it is, how many troops do you think we should send in?" Jia Nian asked Liu Ye.

Liu Ye replied without thinking: "Send 100 troops"

"A hundred?" Guo Dapang subconsciously asked, you must know that the upper limit of the military camp is one hundred. If it weren't for the subduing of those water thieves, this would have been almost the entire force in the town.

Liu Ye nodded: "There are 150 troops in the town, but in the eyes of the White Sail Water Thieves, 100 talents are all our troops." That's why I propose to send a hundred troops to show a gesture of doing our best."

"Isn't it more?" Jia Nian said slowly, you must know that Zheng Bao is eyeing the tiger, and Changhe Town is not empty if he sends too many troops.

Then he changed his mind and expressed his concerns: "I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate to just rely on 50 soldiers."

"50 soldiers is enough," Liu Ye replied in a firm tone.

Then he seemed to think of something, and asked the two: "Do you think the White Sail Water Thief is really asking for help?" ”

"Isn't it?" Jia Nian asked incomprehensibly.

The corners of Liu Ye's mouth flashed with a smile: "They are not asking for help, but because they are afraid"

"Scared?" Jia Nian and Guo Dapang glanced at each other puzzled, both revealing puzzled eyes. The disparity in the strength of the two sides is so huge that it is hard to imagine what to fear.

Liu Ye explained in detail: "The old and weak women and children in our town are all family members of the White Sail Water Thieves, if they turn against each other at this critical moment, what kind of reaction do you say they will have?" ”

"At the moment of the great enemy, how can it be possible to turn against him?" Jia Nian shook his head.

Liu Ye smiled: "Don't be in a hurry to refute it first, if the mayor of the town is the leader of the white sail water thieves, will you have such doubts?" ”

"For example, after learning that Taishou had returned to help, Changhe Town suddenly turned against him and launched an attack on Baifan Water Village," Liu Ye slowly prompted.

Jia Nian pondered along this sentence: "Taishou returns? We defected."

"In the front, there was an army under the command of Taishou, and then there was Changhe Town. At that time, what would the white sail thief do when he learned that the lives of his parents, wife and children were hanging by a thread? Liu Ye guided slowly.

Guo Dapang blurted out without thinking: "Baifan Water Village will be in chaos"

"What's next?" Liu Ye asked.

Jia Nian took this sentence and replied: "Taishou will take advantage of the chaos to attack and destroy this tumor entrenched in Chaohu Lake in one fell swoop."

"No, Taishou will stand still, sit and watch the civil strife of the Baifan water thieves, and then wave the army to help Shouchun" Liu Ye replied.

Guo Dapang and Jia Nian were stunned at the same time: "In that case, why do you say that the white sail thieves are jealous of us?" ”

"Because I don't dare to bet" Liu Ye spit out these words, and then continued: "If the mayor of the town can lead a hundred soldiers to help, he will definitely be able to dispel their doubts."

"After all, with the soldiers in the town in hand, one can be a hostage, and the other can also increase the strength of Baifan Water Village. For the mayor of the town, it is also an opportunity, an opportunity to buy the hearts of the white sail thieves," Liu Ye said heavily.

Jia Nian suddenly thought of the one hundred and ninety-nine water thief mirrors led by Liu Ye's mirror: "Buying people's hearts? How to buy people's hearts? ”

"You don't need to make friends deliberately, you just need to fight hard. In this time of crisis, I am sure they will be grateful. After all, his wife and children are all in the town," Liu Ye accentuated the latter sentence.

Jia Nian instantly understood, it seemed that Liu Ye had already lowered his back: "Don't deliberately make friends?" ”

"En" Liu Ye responded, and said to Jia Nian: "After the mayor enters Baifan Water Village, I estimate that the big boss of Baifan Water Village will not rest assured that the town mayor." He will be on your guard all the time. At this time, it is the best choice to keep your duty."

Hearing Liu Ye's advice, Jia Nian secretly remembered it in his heart, and then thought of an important thing.

"I want to ask you for something," Jia Nian said sincerely.

Liu Ye was stunned for a moment, revealing a puzzled gaze: "What is actually worth using a word for you?" ”

"When I'm not in town, you're in charge of everything," Jia Nian said solemnly.

Liu Ye shook his head: "It may be better to hand it over to Guo Dapang"

"I plan to gallop with Jia Nian to help Baifan Water Village, so this matter can only be handed over to you," Guo Dapang hurriedly said.

Hearing Guo Dapang's reply, Liu Ye fell into deep thought: "If I am fully in charge of Changhe Town, the first thing I will do is to demolish the barracks and shrink the troops, I don't know if it is possible."

"In today's situation, shrinking the force is the wisest choice, so I agree with your decision," Jia Nian replied without thinking.

Liu Ye stood up and bowed to Jia Nian: "Since the mayor trusts me so much, then I should go down."

"As for the soldiers who went out this time, I don't know how the mayor of the town will arrange it?" Liu Ye asked.

Jia Nian replied without thinking: "With the surrendered water thieves as the main force, twenty soldiers will be temporarily dispatched to help the Baifan water thieves."

"Never," Liu Ye said loudly.

Guo Dapang was stunned, isn't this the best arrangement? So without waiting for Jia Nian to speak, he asked Liu Ye: "Why?" ”

"These people were all purchased from the White Sail Water Thieves, if the subdued Water Thieves are the main force, isn't it a little inappropriate?" Liu Ye asked rhetorically.

Jia Nian reacted instantly, and there was a wave of fear behind him. If the White Sail Water Thief found that most of the soldiers rushing to his aid were unfamiliar faces, would he think of something bad? If so, wouldn't it be a tiger's mouth?

Seeing Jia Nian's expression, Liu Ye slowly explained: "I think it is the best policy to send the main force to go and select thirty from the water thieves who surrendered not long ago to make up the quota."

"This ...... Will the surrendered thieves take the opportunity to cause chaos? Jia Nian was a little worried.

A smile appeared on the corner of Liu Ye's mouth: "The family is small in the hand, what can you do?" ”

"Besides, there are benefits to this, you need to be careful in the White Sail Water Village, but Sun Deqiu doesn't have so many worries about them. Isn't it natural to walk around and visit old friends? If you accidentally tell what you have seen in the town and learn about the recent situation of your wife and children, will something wonderful happen?" Liu Ye asked rhetorically.

Jia Nian subconsciously repeated: "Visiting an old friend? Human? ”

"Buying people's hearts?" Jia Nian reacted.

Guo Dapang couldn't help but smack his tongue, he seemed to feel the real gap between himself and the top strategists. So he subconsciously sighed: "It's really insidious"

"......" Liu Ye was speechless for a moment, is this insidious? This is whether Yang Mou is good or not.

Jia Nian looked at Liu Ye: "After I lead the soldiers in the town to leave, Changhe Town will ask you."

"Just rest assured" Liu Ye solemnly spit out these four words.

Jia Nian stood up and shouted outside: "Where are Tang Gaoming, Tang Yanqing, Sun Deqiu, and Gu Enze?"

The four of them, who had been guarding the door for a long time, shouted in unison, and all of them wore armor and leather armor and strode in.

Jia Nian looked around at the four of them and then ordered: "Pack your bags, lead the soldiers of this team early tomorrow morning, and gallop with me to help Baifan Water Village."

"Nuo" Tang Gaoming, Tang Yanqing, Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze received the order in unison.
