Shanyue really came, which shows that Zhu Huan's analysis is still correct, Yu Qian and Hanxian have a large number of cavalry garrisons, and after Shanyue suffered several big losses, he finally turned his target to his hometown with fewer troops.

The scouts who went out of the city every day to reconnoiter were the first to discover the movements of the Shanyue people, the Shanyue people were dispatched from Tianmu Mountain in the south, and there were water thieves in the Taihu Lake in the east, and the two groups of thieves added up to forty or fifty thousand people, which was a bit too large for the two thousand defenders in the old city.

"Lord, we can ask for help from the aliens in Wucheng, as long as there are five to ten thousand infantry to assist us in defending the city, our elite cavalry can completely defeat and defeat these two groups of thieves outside the city."

Huang Xu's opinion is good, but Fang Zhiwen doesn't want to beg Zhang Zhiyuan, of course, Zhang Zhiyuan will definitely not refuse, it's just that Fang Zhiwen doesn't want to owe this favor.

Fang Zhiwen nodded, looked at Pan Zhang and the others on the side, and let them participate in the military discussion of the General Staff, which was deliberately cultivating these three people, Pan Zhang and the others naturally cherished this precious opportunity very much.

"Wen Jue, what do you say?"

"Lord, subordinates, hehe, subordinates haven't thought about it yet, but boss, General Huang's statement is right, this is the safest, the lord also said, don't worry about victory before you lose, the numerical disadvantage of our army cannot be denied1

Fang Zhiwen smiled appreciatively: "Yes, it's good that Wen Jue can think like this, the so-called good fighters have no great achievements, they can't always take risks, they can't only think about the good side for themselves, they also need to think about the bad side, and the way to weigh the trade-offs is to make the general." So. What are we going to take now, and what can we give? ”

Huang Xu frowned: "Lord, what we want to take is naturally to annihilate all the enemies who come to attack. At the very least, it is to defeat the invading enemy, and as for what can be abandoned, there seems to be nothing that can be abandoned, unless we can hide the people, but this is obviously impossible. ”

"Hume, what do you think?"

"My lord, what General Huang said is true. We must protect the people before we talk about anything else, but to protect the people, our cavalry is tied up in the old city. This not only weakened the advantage of the cavalry, but also was very passive in tactics, and the city was already easy to attack and difficult to defend, not to mention that we were still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of the number of both sides. Unless there are reinforcements. Otherwise, it will be difficult to defeat the thieves on the basis of taking into account the safety of the people. ”

Fang Zhiwen still smiled noncommittally, nodded and looked at the youngest He Qi: "Gongmiao, you talk about it." ”

"Well, my lord, my subordinates have a different opinion, if we stick to our old place, we may be able to hold on until the reinforcements arrive and the thieves retreat, but this result is meaningless, the reinforcements retreat and the thieves can come again. We can even ambush reinforcements through our reinforcements, or attack the west. We're very passive in the whole strategy. Therefore, from the perspective of the overall situation, the people of the old village can be abandoned, otherwise the damage may be greater. Of course, there are other ways to abandon the so-called, such as removing the people, and it seems to be a little late in the direction of Ningguo and Wucheng now, but there are other places where the people can hide. ”

The corners of Fang Zhiwen's mouth curled, and he asked with great interest, "Oh? Where? ”

"Cave 1

"Caves?" Zhu Huan asked in surprise, while Pan Zhang was thinking thoughtfully.

"Yes, the cave! On the cliff in the south, the Qian family and the Shen family once dug a huge cave on the cliff in order to avoid the intrusion of Shanyue, and there was a water source inside this cave, as long as there was food, hiding in it for ten days and half a month would not be a problem. ”

"But can't Shanyue attack it?" Zhu Huan asked.

"No, the entrance to the cave is narrow, and the beams leading to the cave are chiseled off on both sides, and it is a place where no one can open it, as long as there is a group of strong crossbows guarding it, no number of people can rush through."

Pan Zhang answered this question for He Qi.

"Oh? Is this place still available? ”

"It should be possible, many children like to play in this place, my subordinates and Wen Jue also went not long ago, it is very clean, there is no problem with the water source, as long as the food is transported, there is no problem for thousands of people to hide inside."

Fang Zhiwen nodded: "This is very interesting, Gong Miao, you don't seem to have finished speaking." ”

"Yes, my lord, after temporarily protecting the people, our army can be released, and we can wander around the periphery and lure the thieves to the old city, and then the thieves are in the city, and I am outside the city, I can give full play to the mobility of the cavalry, and trap the thieves in the city, there is no food and grass in the city, and there are two different groups of thieves, when the time comes, internal and external troubles will arise, and there will be internal strife, and after the reinforcements of our army arrive, they can be annihilated in one fell swoop.1

"Good! Good strategy 1 Pan Zhang clapped his hands excitedly.

Huang Xu also nodded, and the eyes that looked at He Qi were full of appreciation.

"This plan is indeed feasible, show the enemy to be weak, lure the enemy deep, and finally catch the net, the only bad thing may be that this old city has been harmed by these thieves, and it may be ruined1

Zhu Huan also voted in favor.

"It's better to destroy it, it's just about to be rebuilt1 Fang Zhiwen squinted his eyes and said.

It turned out that the lord had this idea at the beginning, and wanted to take the opportunity to demolish the old city, and he might be resolutely opposed by the people in the city if he did it himself, but it was demolished by Shanyue and water thieves, and everyone had nothing to say!

At the south gate of the city, the people are carrying packages to help the old and the young move outward, everyone's face is very heavy, and the eyes of the officers and soldiers on the side are also a little unkind, perhaps, everyone will think that these mountain and water thieves are recruited by the official army.

Pan Zhang, who was maintaining order on the side, felt very angry, but these people are like this, they like to shirk their responsibilities, like to listen to rumors, they are timid and afraid of things, and they are afraid of good and evil, but even so, they are still people, and they are still the people who should take responsibility for the superiors.

Fang Zhiwen had already sent people to clean the cave and transported a large amount of grain into it. A plank path was erected on the narrow mountain beam, so that the people could easily enter the cave.

"I said, old man, what are you still carrying this burden for? Do you want to do business in a cave? ”

"Uncle Pan. You can joke, this is the little old man's food, can I still lose it, and when the mountain is gone, I still have to rely on this to make a living1

"Hehe, didn't you listen to my father-in-law, everything you lose will be compensated. You threw this away, and when the time comes, won't my father-in-law give you a new one? ”

"Oh no, this thing still works. Why are you throwing it away? Besides, your family's money is not blown by the wind, so you can save it.1

"Okay, hehe. You old man is a man who understands. Not like those white-eyed wolves. ”

"Uncle Pan, you have wronged everyone, don't you just want to live in peace, now that the mountain and water thieves are coming, everyone has lost the industrial land, and they will definitely not be happy in their hearts, so they will naturally be a little resentful, besides. Aren't the officers and soldiers just to prevent thieves, and now that thieves are coming, the officers and soldiers have not prevented this?"

"Officers and soldiers guard against thieves! Then I have to ask if these people have paid taxes to the officers and soldiers? Whoever you pay your taxes to, who will protect you, right? ”

"This. Aren't you arguing with your words, who will pay the taxes, but we have the final say? ”

"So, if you have grievances, you can't complain about my lord, but my lord didn't get a grain from you, on the contrary, he gave a lot of relief in cash, you don't want to give you grain fields, you don't want to clean up the city, and now if you have something, you will put the responsibility on my lord, you can't be so unconscientious.1

Pan Zhang's words and contemptuous eyes made everyone in the ranks of the people bow their heads, of course, they always like to lower their heads, but they don't know whether to obey or silently protest.

"Uncle Pan, what you said is reasonable, but what do we little people know, I didn't know that your family was kind before, so naturally there are all kinds of worries, the so-called long-term people's hearts, in the future, everyone will know the hard work of adults."

"I hope that in the future, when people talk about their hometowns, they will have to be associated with ingratitude."

"Humu, Gongmiao, this is up to the two of you, before making all the decisions, think about the thousands of people behind you."

"Rest assured, your subordinates will be able to keep the people safe."

"Well, we'll see you in five days, and I'll leave it to you in these five days.1

"I want to die in the service of the Lord1

"Okay, we're going to set off too, Wen Jue, this time you have to follow Zi'an closely, and I won't count on you in the battle, as long as you don't fall off the horse.1

"Lord, don't you underestimate people, your subordinates will definitely not fall."

"Hehe, Departure 1

The cavalry rumbled away, looking from the hole on the cliff, the whole old city has gradually fallen into the night, dark and dull without a trace of light, looking back, in the huge cave, the people are gathered together, sitting on the ground and eating dry food, although the cave is brightly lit, but it is very strange and quite quiet.

"Gong Miao, this can't be done, this atmosphere is too depressing, it will inevitably be chaotic after a long time, you have to think of a way."

"Well, that's right, I think, it's better to take this opportunity to preach the new government policy, the information we got is very rich in content, I believe it can also let the people understand the benefits of the new policy, killing two birds with one stone."

"Good idea, then let's take turns, one person is responsible for warning and the other person is preaching."

"Good 1

Fang Zhiwen's cavalry went to battle, and two young people with great ideas started a policy propaganda class in this huge refuge cave.

Some children still enjoyed visiting the cave after the war, so some people painted the cave on the wall, and thousands of years later, it became a famous tourist spot called "Cave Sutra".

At that time, Zhu Huan and He Qi, who had just done all this to prevent the people from making trouble, would definitely not have imagined that the two would be passed down through the ages because of this. To be continued...
