Chapter 176: Authorization
"It's just ......" Zhou Ye asked: "The grain and grass camp is the foundation of the army, the other party will definitely defend tightly, arrange a large number of troops, if you want to surprise attack, I'm afraid it's not so easy." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Indeed." Lin Ran took a step forward, lowered his voice, and said to Zhou Ye; "The first key to the surprise attack is not to make the other party vigilant, if the other party perceives that we have this intention, this operation will definitely fail."
"So what to do?" An NPC general asked.
Lin Ran looked around, and said with a somewhat teasing smile: "All the generals are the pillars of my Yangzhou, presumably this small problem will not be difficult for the generals." “
The generals and colonels of the county governor's mansion all looked embarrassed, if they had a way, they would still be able to let Lin Ran be in the limelight here, and they would have already squeezed their heads out of such a good opportunity for meritorious service. ”
Pingdong General Zhou Ye looked at the generals in the mansion with some dissatisfaction, these generals are usually extremely powerful and resourceful when they are usually led and patted on the back. When it really came time to need the ability and use their brains, they did it one by one. “
Zhou Ye walked down from the main seat, took Lin Ran's hand, and said sincerely: "Now at this critical moment of life and death, we, as court officials, should work together to resist the rebellion of the Yellow Turbans." Now that the situation is critical, please give me advice. “
Zhou Ye had already said this, and he also gave Lin Ran a very high courtesy, and Lin Ran couldn't hide it anymore, and said: "I have a plan to make these Yellow Turban thieves lower their guard and increase the probability of success of our raid."
Our army should now take out all the food in the city, set up more stoves, and distribute sufficient food to the soldiers, and tonight, we can also hold a dinner party in the city and invite the defense officers and soldiers to the banquet together, so as to create a false impression that our army has enough food and grass for the Yellow Turban Army.
In this way, the Yellow Turban Army thought that our army had enough food, and would never have imagined that our army would sneak attack their granary, and would definitely relax its defense against the Red River Valley. “
"Good!" Zhu Zhi applauded and said: "Xiaobai's plan is very good, I think I might as well give it a try." “
The NPC generals in the field also applauded one after another, and there was a lot of praise, which was not at all the disdain at the beginning.
Pingdong General Zhou Ye clenched his fists and said, "Very good, that's right." Since you have such a good plan, Xiaobai, then I will give you full authority to carry out this plan. “
Lin Ran said happily; "Thank you, General. I can't just carry out this plan on my own. “
NPC Pingdong General Zhou Ye waved his hand and said boldly; "Xiaobai, how many troops do you need, just tell me, and I will allocate exactly the amount to you."
Lin Ran secretly said in his heart, just waiting for your words. Ha, this time I really made a lot of money, and I can command the NPC officers and soldiers of the imperial court army to fight, this is really the first time in my life. Lin Ran had commanded the highest-level soldiers before, but they were just NPC militiamen under him, and their strength was not at all a grade compared to NPC high-level foot soldiers and high-level archers. “
"This operation mainly requires cavalry, because it is mainly a surprise attack, and the infantry and archers are not very useful, but it is easy to be exposed and discovered."
"Cavalry." Zhou Ye showed a little embarrassed expression on his face, it was not that he was reluctant to let these cavalry troops go, but when the cavalry troops in his hands were chasing the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army before, they were ambushed, and most of them had been wiped out by the Yellow Turban Army, and he only had more than a hundred cavalry in his hands now, and this kind of action was definitely not enough.
"General, I know that there are not enough cavalry in the city, but I heard that there seem to be several wealthy merchants in this Yiyang City, who not only have tens of thousands of materials at home, but also have hundreds of batches of high-quality horses, which are even better than our army's war horses.
I think the general might as well consult with these rich merchants to see if he can borrow their horses for the time being. ”
"Hey." Pingdong General Zhou Ye said with a smile: "What else to borrow, the imperial army wants to requisition, can they still have opinions?" Come with a few groups of soldiers, and give me these horses to be requisitioned. ”
Lin Ran was amused in his heart, and he didn't know if the horses requisitioned by the imperial army would be returned to these wealthy merchants in the end. But whatever, it's not his own thing anyway.
"In addition, there may be all kinds of unforeseen situations in this operation, and I also need a good general to accompany me on the expedition to guard against all kinds of dangerous situations that may arise in the future."
Zhou Ye looked at the surrounding NPC generals and asked Lin Ran; "Do you want that general to assist you?"
Lin Ran naturally chose Zhu Zhi, an NPC history-level military general with both civil and military skills.
With Zhu Zhizai, more than half of the timing of this raid operation has been successful, and the remaining half depends on Lin Ran's ability to adapt to specific actions.
"Okay, I'll send General Zhu to assist you in this operation. I hope that Xiaobai will return triumphantly, and when the time comes, General Ben will personally greet you at the gate of the city and ask for credit to the court for you. ”
The harvest this time is really great. Lin Ran felt a little unbelievable in his heart, not only did he harvest an elite NPC cavalry of the imperial court army, but also made NPC history-level military general Zhu Zhi his subordinate, responsible for assisting him in carrying out this operation.
Lin Ran now had a feeling of being at the pinnacle of his life, but he was not the kind of person who was pompous, and he soon realized that these things were just superficial phenomena, and after carrying out the mission of this raid, he still had to return them to the imperial army.
What's even more serious is that if this raid fails, it is conceivable that someone must be responsible for the failure of the operation, and the first to bear the brunt is Lin Ran.
No matter what aspect it is, Lin Ran's plan this time can only succeed, and he can't afford the consequences of failure.
Because Zhou Ye had full authority to accept Lin Ran's confident raid plan, the logistics officials in the army who distributed food and salaries also had to obey Lin Ran's command for the time being.
Lin Ran took NPC history-level military general Zhu Zhi to the place where the army distributed the food and salary, and immediately ordered that the food and salary of the whole army be distributed in full, and he also had to take out some of the only meat in the warehouse to add food to the soldiers.
As a result, the officer in charge of logistics in the army was a little unhappy and retorted: "There is already little grain in the warehouse, and in this way, I am afraid that we will not be able to last even three days." ”
Lin Ran couldn't explain to these logistics officials, and directly left a sentence.
"This order has been approved by General Pingdong, and if you don't agree with it, you can report it to the county governor's office."
For a while, bursts of green smoke and the aroma of curling food rose in the city, and the soldiers were overjoyed to see the sumptuous meal in their hands. For these soldiers who have been on the battlefield for a long time, being able to eat a full stomach every day is already the highest requirement.
You must know that the daily rations and salaries that soldiers receive in their hands are completely different from those mentioned above.
"There is enough food in the city to last more than three months!"
"General Pingdong ordered an extra meal, and I hope that all the soldiers will fight bravely to kill the enemy after they have eaten and drunk enough!"
"If it's not enough, come here to get some more food!"
Intentionally or unintentionally, the city is filled with an atmosphere of optimism. (To be continued.) )
