280 The last hour before the deceitful army went out of the city

In the hall of the Taishou Mansion, the situation of the gate valve camp is already very obvious. The disciples of the Ma clan have been in control of the Duwei Mansion for a long time, and they have a large number of middle and low-level military generals and bureaucrats in Wuwei City, with huge power and many supporters.

The number of generals and bureaucrats of the Zhang clan is one point worse.

The Jia clan was extremely powerful among civil officials and very weak among military attachés.

Ma Min's arrogant and disdainful demeanor, Zhan Xiaobai couldn't help but shake his head secretly, so that he could also serve as the captain in charge of the military power in Wuwei City?

Ma Min is not quite on the right path with himself, and the official position of Du Lieutenant cannot fall into the hands of Ma's disciples.

Zhan Xiaobai weighed it for a while, then directly suggested to Taishou, and said in a low voice: "Lord Taishou, although I am a foreign guest and it is not suitable to participate in the discussion of the personnel arrangements of Taishou Mansion, there is one thing I have to say." In the past, there was a rebellion of the army Sima Ma Teng, and then there was a rebellion of Zhangye Duwei Ma, although they are not of the same clan, but they are all from the Wuwei Ma clan, are not the adults worried that the Wuwei Ma clan is too strong? In my opinion, this Ma Min is young and vigorous, and his "temperament" is perverse, who knows what earth-shattering things he will do after he becomes a lieutenant! In contrast, Zhang Lin is gentle and elegant, quite like the demeanor of the imperial court general Zhang Wen, and it is much better to be appointed by Zhang Lin. ”

Taishou Huo Ran woke up in shock, and his face changed color.

"This~, this ....."

Taishou has not considered the issue of the Ma clan may rebel again, but Zhan Xiaobai's words are not unreasonable, the Ma clan has already produced two traitors and thieves in succession, and we must beware of the possibility that Ma Min may rebel and endanger the safety of Wuwei City.

Moreover, Zhan Xiaobai proposed that Zhang Lin be appointed as the captain, obviously on the side of the Zhang family.

Zhan Xiaobai represents the military force of Xiaobai Town, Wuwei County, which is not Wuwei City, and has influence in both the government and the opposition, and his attitude definitely carries weight. As for when the Zhang family got Zhan Xiaobai's support, Tai Shouke is not clear.

Due to various considerations, Taishou had to make a careful decision, nodded and said, "The Ma clan has been appointed as a lieutenant in a row, and it is indeed a little inappropriate to serve as a lieutenant again. It is better for Zhang Linxian's nephew to take the post of lieutenant. What do you think? ”

As soon as Ma Min saw the duck in his hand flying, he immediately slapped the case excitedly and said angrily: "What! No way! Lord Taishou, why can't I, Ma, continue to serve as a lieutenant? Which court rule stipulates that my Ma clan cannot serve as a lieutenant continuously? In this Wuwei City, my Ma clan is the most suitable candidate for Duwei! ”

Zhang Lin sneered: "Which court rule stipulates that your Ma clan must serve as the captain of Wuwei?" Hmph, wake up, it's my turn to be the captain of the Zhang family! He arched his hand to Zhan Xiaobai and said, "Thank you Xiaobai for your support to my Zhang family, my Zhang family will have a lot of gratitude." ”

The NPCs were speechless, and they couldn't 'plug in' anything to this point. If Taishou decided to make the Zhang family the captain, the others would have no choice.

Jia An on the side was thoughtful.

Suddenly, an NPC spy rushed in in a panic and shouted, "Report, Lord Taishou, urgent military situation!" A suspicious enemy force was found in the northwestern border of our county, and a rebel cavalry unit was attacking the villages along the way, burning and destroying them. According to the reports of more than a dozen village chiefs who called for help, the comer is likely to be a horse play rebel, with a strength of about 1,000 cavalry, disturbing the villages in my territory in "Sao"! The intention is unknown, and it is likely that they are trying to snatch food and grass. ”

The bureaucrats and warrior NPCs in the hall were suddenly shocked.

The Horse Play Army is coming!

This is a very large military situation. The most odious thing is that the horse play army actually did not attack the strong city of Wuwei City, but burned the weak villages in Wuwei County, which is too shameless! If the horse play army attacked Wuwei City, they would defend the city and easily destroy this horse play army.

To save, or not to save?

The NPCs whispered.

Zhan Xiaobai came up with another idea at this time, and said to everyone: "The two brothers Zhang Lin and Ma Min are arguing over the position of captain, so it's better to do this." It just so happened that the Mawan Army attacked, led by Zhang Lin and Ma Min each led 500 cavalry and 1,000 foot soldiers, a total of 3,000 troops, and the soldiers were divided into two roads to encircle and suppress the Maplay 1,000 scattered cavalry. Whoever succeeded in encircling and suppressing the rebels and made great achievements in the war will be appointed as the captain. This is the fairest way, doesn't it think Taishou-sama? ”

Zhan Xiaobai has calculated, as long as the 3,000 troops of Wuwei City are transferred, the possibility of successfully capturing Wuwei City will be extremely great.

Tai Shouzheng panicked, and several of his main staff members were killed by the Assassins, and no one gave him any advice in this situation.

Zhan Xiaobai's method is good.

But Taishou was a little strange, and said in a low voice: "Lord Xiaobai, didn't you say that Ma Min is likely to rebel?" Why did he let him lead his troops to encircle and suppress the enemy who came to attack the horses? ”

Zhan Xiaobai chuckled: "With this method, you can try to see if Ma Min is loyal to the imperial court, if he kills Ma Min and plays the rebels, it means that Ma Min has no intention of rebellion, and the adults can also appoint him as the captain of Wuwei with peace of mind." If he dares to rebel, then take this opportunity to keep him out of the city and prevent him from entering it. ”

Taishou agreed, and immediately announced: "Lord Xiaobai's suggestion is good, Ma Min and Zhang Lin, the two virtuous nephews, immediately led the troops to encircle and suppress the 'Sao' harassment army of the Ma Yu rebels, so as to decide the candidate for the captain." What do you think? ”

Immediately, a middle-level military general and bureaucrat questioned the seat, saying: "By all means, 3,000 troops were transferred at once, and there was no reserve emergency force, but I am afraid that it will cause a serious shortage of defenders in the city, leaving a huge security hazard." ”

Zhan Xiaobai immediately said: "It's okay, the 2,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry troops of my Xiaobai Town will soon arrive in Wuwei City to help defend the city and ensure that the city is foolproof." What can go wrong with such a small half-day effort? My Xiaobaizhen is not afraid of Ma Teng, Ma Play and other rebels, your Wuwei colleagues are not so cowardly as mice, right? ”

The low-level generals suddenly turned red and muttered speechless.

Taishou didn't think there was any big problem, but he also needed to consider the opinions of the generals at the banquet. In the end, Taishou could only take a compromise approach: "This way, it's not good if there are fewer soldiers." Ma Min and Zhang Liner each brought 500 cavalry and 500 infantry troops to meet the horse play troops. There were 1,000 reserve troops left in the city, which was enough. ”

Ma Min snorted coldly, stood up angrily and said, "Okay, just do it!" Zhang Lin, let's use real kung fu to compete! After speaking, he received a token from the Taishou, took the lead in leaving the Taishou Mansion, ordered 500 heavy armored cavalry and 500 heavy armored foot soldiers in the barracks in the city, and led the army to kill the horse play army in the northwest direction. Zhang Lin then set off, taking the same soldiers and horses, and followed behind Ma Min's troops.

Zhan Xiaobai chuckled. The so-called "horse play army 'rioting' disturbing the player village" is just a trick he and a dozen player villages have jointly staged and directed to trick some of the defenders in Wuwei City into leaving the city. As long as this part of the troops is deceived for more than half a day, the troops in the city are insufficient, and they regard him as their own people, and they have no wariness of him, so that he can successfully implement the plan of deception.

Now, the number of guards in Wuwei City has dropped from 6,000 to 4,000, a decrease of one-third. The 2,000 men were stationed in four towers, and this force could not be transferred elsewhere at will. The 1,000 were deployed in various key places in the city, and they could not be mobilized at will.

In the end, only 1,000 reserve heavy infantry remained in the barracks, which was the only mobile force in Wuwei City, ready to support all parts of Wuwei City. It will also be an NPC force that Zhan Xiaobai will face first.

A Fei, Cheng Jian, Wang Gun and other more than ten generals led 2,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who had already left Jiang's village and galloped quickly in the direction of Wuwei City, and would soon arrive.

In the city, the eight players and thousand-man legions led by the Spring and Autumn Young Heroes also gathered in various places in the city.

Everything was ready, and only an hour later, 2,000 Xiliang cavalry from Xiaobaizhen arrived at Wuwei City, and they could launch a battle to seize the city by force.

......

The Taishoufu meeting was suspended, and the middle and low-level bureaucrats and nobles had nothing to do, so they dispersed, or watched the battle, or went back to rest. It is estimated that it will take one or even more days to determine the winner of this small-scale anti-rebellion operation.

The Taishou general Zhan Xiaobai stayed behind to discuss how the 2,000 cavalry of Xiaobai Town could assist in defending Wuwei City. Issues such as who is in charge of military power, task arrangements, time limits, logistical support, and so on must be resolved.

Who will control the power of this "borrowed" army is a big question.

Zhan Xiaobai's meaning is that the generals of Xiaobai Town are still in command of this cavalry unit. Taishou has a military task directly issued to the generals of Xiaobai Town, and then the generals of Xiaobai Town can lead the troops to carry it out. The military power still belongs to Xiaobai Town, and it helps defend the city of Wuwei by undertaking military tasks.

Although Taishou is mediocre, he is not ambiguous in terms of military power. After listening to Zhan Xiaobai's method, he couldn't help frowning and said: "Lord Xiaobai, this is not good, the scheduling of military power is inconsistent, and it is easy to make 'chaos'." ”

Zhan Xiaobai was not willing to give in at all, and did not give Taishou any face in terms of military power, and said: "Lord Taishou, I am lending soldiers to you for free, and I can't get any benefits." If the adults want my military power, then I have to refuse to send troops to help defend the city. ”

As soon as this big trick came out, Taishou was suddenly dumbfounded and had no choice but to compromise.

"Well, Lord Xiaobai, your soldiers are still under your command. I'll first send someone to build a large fortress outside the city, and when your troops arrive, settle in the fortress outside the city. I also hope that your cavalry units will obey military orders and act without permission. ”

did not have the power of the army, and the Taishou did not dare to easily let the cavalry of Xiaobaizhen into the city to avoid trouble.

"Okay!"

Zhan Xiaobai agreed.

Garrisoned outside the city and stationed inside the city, it was the same for him. There is Zhang Feng who serves as the gatekeeper at the East City Gate, and he can enter the city whenever he wants.

Zhan Xiaobai is more concerned about how to assassinate this NPC Taishou. Taishou's death is one of the prerequisites for him to take over Wuwei City openly.

It's a pity that the assassination attempt the day before yesterday had raised the vigilance, in addition to the fifty heavily armored soldiers guarding within a hundred meters nearby, there were more than ten middle and low-level NPC generals who did not leave him within ten steps for a moment, close protection.

Under this high level of protection, it is almost impossible to assassinate again. Unless a master of the historical military general level makes a move, it is possible to succeed in the assassination in one fell swoop.

Zhan Xiaobai had a headache when he thought of this.

If he can't assassinate Taishou, he will have no excuse to replace Taishou in an open and honest position.

If you use the eight player legions of Xiaobai Town to directly attack the Taishou Mansion and kill the Taishou, even if you can succeed, you will have endless troubles. This kind of blatant attack on local officials in the imperial court will be judged by the system to be a rebellion, and once it is put on the hat of "rebellion", it will be difficult to take it off.

Ma Teng, Han Sui and other big warlords rebelled, but they could still have the strength to protect themselves, and they were not afraid of the court's conquest. If he rebelled in Xiaobaizhen, his strength was still weak, and he was afraid that he would be crushed by the imperial army, which would be miserable.

In order to successfully assassinate Taishou, it is necessary to take the initiative to create favorable conditions.

......

"Report! Lord Taishou, Xiaobai Town's 2000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry has arrived outside the East City Gate, Lord Xiaobai, please go and review the troops! ”

A military general came to the Taishou Mansion and reported the military situation to the Taishou.

Wu Wei is too guarded by great pleasure, Zhan Xiaobai invited him to review the troops, this is a great respect for him, naturally he can't help but give Zhan Xiaobai face.

Taishou took more than a dozen NPC generals and dozens of NPC armor soldiers who were personally guarded, took a luxury carriage, came to the east gate of Wuwei City, and went up to the city tower surrounded by NPC generals.

On the tower of the city, nearly 100 level 70 halberd armor soldiers stood solemnly and stood on guard. Those who are idle are not allowed to go up to the tower.

In addition to Zhan Xiaobai and Zhang Feng, there are more than ten army commanders such as Spring and Autumn Young Heroes, Ah Fei, Xiaoyaosheng, etc., as well as ten army commanders from the Xiaobai Town Alliance Village, who are watching the "drill" of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry Force of Xiaobai Town outside the city from the city tower.

Two thousand level 40 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, under the leadership of more than 20 NPC generals, were divided into twenty hundred-person cavalry squads, and each hundred cavalry was led by a low-level NPC general. A huge formation was lined up outside the east city gate, and the momentum was extremely spectacular.

Although the level of this group of Xiliang Iron Cavalry is a little lower, they are well-equipped, proficient in cavalry combat, and their field combat ability is definitely not weak.

The arrival of this cavalry of Xiaobaizhen caused a sensation among the players of Wuwei City.

Countless Wuwei City players have gone out of the city to watch this powerful NPC cavalry force in the hands of players. Many ordinary players have vaguely guessed that the arrival of the cavalry of Xiaobaizhen means that the operation to seize the city by force is about to start.

At this momentous moment of great historical "sexuality" when the player forces are about to seize the system city, tens of thousands of Wuwei City players will become witnesses and even creators of the history in the game. They couldn't help but be excited. Countless in-game reporters, occupying high vantage points in various restaurants and teahouses in Wuwei City, have turned on the video, ready to record this exciting moment.
