Chapter 107: Convincing the Mountaineer
Xiao Jingzhi has her own reason for whatever she does, she just listens to it, and says that it will be a week long, and she only asks him not to break his promise.
He walked in a hurry, when he thought she was asleep.
As soon as he walked on his front foot, she opened her eyes on the back foot.
Xiao Jingzhi had to take risks to save Shuozhou City, so he didn't dare to tell her his plan at all.
He hurried overnight to Mengshan, the boundary mountain that separates Dayan and Xianbei, and there are many mountain bandits in Mengshan, these bandits used to be a thorn in the side of the government and a thorn in the flesh, but now they look at him like a savior.
The gold in your hand is a stepping stone, but it is definitely not a weapon to impress them.
"Who dares to trespass on the mountain?" said the younger brother who was patrolling the mountains, and it was generally not very malicious to speak like this.
"Little brother, I have important information to tell your family boss, please help spread it. Xiao Jingzhi walked in and put a piece of silver in his hand, his eyes rolled: "Think beautifully, how do I know that you are not here to find trouble?"
"I'm Xiao Jingzhi, the garrison general of Shuozhou, this is my seal, you can take a look. Xiao Jingzhi handed the seal to the little brother, and after the little brother confirmed his identity, he suddenly raised his voice: "You fucking bluff me, what are you doing with a garrison general coming to our Mengshan, did you bring soldiers?"
"You have confirmed my identity, so you should take me to your boss, you have caught the official of the court, and your boss will reward you. "As long as he meets the bandit leader, he will have a chance to move them.
The little brother thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case, and he was afraid that he would be difficult to control his kung fu, so he first tied him with a rope and dragged him to the mountain.
"Boss, this person is the newly arrived garrison general Xiao Jingzhi, who was discovered by the younger brother when he was patrolling. The man pushed Xiao Jingzhi to the ground, as if he were asking for credit.
"Stand down. "The leader of the mountain bandits is about forty years old, and he looks very shrewd, unlike the ordinary mountain bandits, who are five big and three thick, but lean and lean.
"If a distinguished guest comes to the door, how can you tie it up, why don't you release the person for Lao Tzu?" The mountain bandit leader said very nicely, but he only cared about drinking by himself and did not do anything.
"I'm Xiao Jingzhi, dare to ask what Brother Tai is called?" Xiao Jingzhi rubbed his wrist, and without waiting for him to speak, he bumped into him with a bowl of wine.
"I have heard General Xiao's name for a long time, that Cao Ming and Fan Zhi are not ordinary people, and General Xiao can subdue the two, and his methods are really admirable. The mountain bandit leader didn't answer Xiao Jingzhi's question, raised his eyes and continued to him: "I have been in Jieshan for many years, although I am a mountain bandit, but I have always robbed the old man of Xianbei, and I have never had anything to do with the government of Shuozhou, I am afraid that General Xiao has come to the wrong place this time, right?"
"The Xianbei cavalry is coming to the city, Shuozhou City is afraid that it will be difficult to protect, can Brother Tai know?"
Xiao Jingzhi's words fell to the ground, and the mountain bandit leader didn't answer, drinking to himself, as if he didn't exist.
"I thought that Brother Tai was a smart person in Bingxue, but he didn't want to be so stupid, and he was indifferent to watching Xianbei people dig his grave, just this time, let's just think Xiao is running away in vain. ”
Xiao Jingzhi's words were ugly, and the mountain bandit leader's drinking hand trembled slightly, but he hadn't spoken yet, but the second master beside him jumped to his feet: "My eldest brother doesn't speak to give you face, don't you give your mother a face?!"
"Second brother, how can you speak to a distinguished guest like this?" The mountain bandit leader's fluttering words made the second master quiet, and turned to Xiao Jingzhi and asked: "General Xiao came to my Mengshan Mountain in the middle of the night, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
"I have twenty gold in my hand, and I want to ask my brother for a favor. Since he said that, Xiao Jingzhi also spoke directly, and after getting his affirmative look, he continued: "In addition to plundering the Xianbei nobles as before, we also have to harass their garrisons from time to time. ”
"Big brother, the Xianbei garrison is very strong, and we don't need to risk it for that mere twenty gold. The second boss expressed his disapproval on the spot.
"In the end, the people of the government are so shrewd, and these twenty gold is not easy to earn. The mountain bandit leader had an expression on his face waiting for the price to sell, as if he had the initiative.
"It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, it is precisely because Brother Tai and his brothers have always attacked the Xianbei people that the government has always turned a blind eye to you, so they never came to Mengshan to suppress bandits;
This is said very realistically, and even the second master who was shouting just now was silenced.
"There are only more than 400 brothers in the entire Mengshan, and they can't be compared with the Xianbei garrison at all, aren't we looking for death?"
"It's not that you go toe-to-toe with those Xianbei garrisons, but that you intrude, that they make a surprise attack while they are eating or resting, that makes them nervous, and that you don't fight them, and when they find out, you run to the mountains and lead them into the ambush you have set before. ”
This is the homeless tactic used by Hu He, Xiao Jingzhi has learned and used it to turn that tactic into a mountain bandit tactic.
"On the one hand, it is important to continue to increase the raiding of the Xianbei nobles, so as to destabilize the Xianbei upper echelons and turn their attention to the Xianbei themselves, rather than the war. ”
What he wants is to transfer the contradictions, which is the first step in his plan.
"You have a nice word, you send us with twenty taels of gold, so that we are exposed to the Xianbei soldiers, in case they are against us?" The second master took a bite of the gold, and then threw it on the ground: "Gold is important, but our lives are more important. ”
"This mountain is yours, if they don't come, it's fine, if they come, they will only die!"
His facial features were very soft, but saying such cold words from his beautiful mouth made everyone present shudder: It turned out that this was the man who had taken the military power from Cao Ming and Fan Zhi.
"That, that, in case the Xianbei soldiers are provoked and want to attack with fire, it's autumn now, although there is not as much vegetation as in spring and summer, but there are still a lot of them, they light a fire from the bottom of the mountain, and our group of people will have to die......"
"It is precisely because it is autumn, not summer, not winter, that they do not dare to attack with fire. Xiao Jingzhi's words made the mountain bandit leader smile happily, but he didn't speak, just listened to him continue: "Mengshan is a northwest wind in autumn and winter, if those Xianbei soldiers light a fire at the foot of the mountain, in less than half an hour, their military camp will become a ruin, as long as the soldiers who can't escape will be swallowed by the fire, this is the best for us, we can defeat these Xianbei soldiers without a single soldier!"
His words had already been said quite clearly, but the second master still didn't understand something: "Why do they dare not attack with fire because it is autumn, not summer, or winter?"
"It's a shame that you've been in Mengshan for so many years, you're such a great mallet!" the mountain bandit leader couldn't listen anymore, and explained: "If it's summer, our Mengshan is lush with grass and trees, and the spring and summer seasons are still southerly winds, and if we light a fire from the foot of the mountain, the fire will spread to the top of the mountain in less than half an hour, and then we will definitely die; if it's winter, even if it's a northwest wind, the grassland of the Xianbei people will be left with no grass, and the fire will not burn." Autumn Mengshan gathers the advantages of time and place, it is the best, isn't it, General Xiao?"
"Brother Tai is a transparent person, and it would be a pity if such a time and place were not used. ”
"General Xiao Miao praised, if General Xiao is willing, call me Lao Du. ”
It turned out that his surname was Du, Xiao Jingzhi brought a bowl of wine again, this time without waiting for him to do it first, Lao Du touched him with a wine bowl: "If it weren't for General Xiao coming this time, I didn't know that we would have a catastrophe, thank you for the twenty gold!"
"Brother Du, you are so polite. Xiao Jingzhi raised his head and drank the wine in the bowl, and the stars in the sky were still shining at this time, just like his wife's eyes.
"General Xiao...... Oh, I always feel that this is very old, and you don't mind if you call you Brother Xiao?"
"Naturally. ”
"Brother Xiao hit it off at first sight, shall we go to my side for two more drinks?"
This is a good signal, indicating that Lao Du really wants to talk to him about the "intrusion strategy", and he will naturally not let go of this opportunity.
This Lao Du is not a simple mountain bandit, he is very thoughtful and far-sighted, but unfortunately he was born in the era when Zhao Yu was in power, if he is a mediocre king, he is only afraid that he is a figure who chases the Central Plains.
"Eh, Brother Xiao came all the way, and I also pulled you to say such things, it really shouldn't be, if Brother Xiao doesn't dislike it, let's stay here today." ”
"It's better to be respectful. ”
Hei Ah San used to be a hooligan leader, so there was nothing uncomfortable with him getting along with Lao Du, and he was about to fall asleep, when he felt a sudden smell of rouge on the tip of his nose, and a pair of small hands were about to untie his clothes, he opened his eyes vigilantly, held the man's hand, and asked coldly: "Who asked you to come?"
"The boss asked the slave family to come, the son just needs to rest, and the other slave family will come ......" The woman is not Han, she has a pair of blue eyes, the color of the lake, deep facial features, and a certain charm on the eyes, very beautiful.
"Get out, don't let me say it a second time. He spoke seriously, but his expression was so flat that he could not see anything, and the woman became bold, and her little hand came up again, but this time, her hand had just touched the belt of his clothes, and the whole person could not move: she was pointed.
He moved the woman out of the room, locked the door, and he slept, and the beautiful woman stood outside for an hour before she regained consciousness, and ran to find Lao Du in a huff.
"That man is simply too much, how can he leave a weak woman like me outside, it's autumn and it's so cold at night......"
"Then let me warm you up?"
"Bah, why are you so annoying, where are you perverted?"
......
The next day, Lao Du, the leader of the mountain bandits, woke up and went to find Xiao Jingzhi, who knew that he was a step too late, and the person had already left, leaving only a letter.
There was nothing special about the content of the letter, it was just a farewell.
"Ah, that man is Xiao Jingzhi, is that Xiao Jingzhi who is afraid of guilt?"
"If it's not for the fear of guilt, I'm afraid you'll be lying on this bed right now. ”
After Lao Du said this, he suddenly pulled out the sword on his body and killed the woman, splashing blood all over the ground.
"Boss, don't you like this woman very much?" The second boss on the side was a little puzzled, you must know that this Xianbei woman is beautiful, and the boss has always asked her to warm the bed.
"An ordinary Xianbei woman, how can she recognize Chinese characters?" Lao Du's words made the second master's cold sweat come out, and before he could speak, Lao Du continued: "Let people kill all the Xianbei women on the mountain." ”
Since ancient times, those who have become great things are not informal.
On the other side, after Xiao Jingzhi left Mengshan, he quietly went to the military camp and asked Zhang Zilang and Hei Asan to pick five hundred elite soldiers, and he took advantage of the darkness to take those five hundred people away.
Xiao Jingzhi took them to the village he established, which was originally less crowded, plus many people had joined the army, and now there are even fewer people, and there is a lot of open space, which is convenient for him to train soldiers.
Zhang Zilang, Hei Asan and even Cao Ming and Fan Zhi were very attentive to the training of soldiers, and these 500 people were even more sophisticated, they stayed in the village for two days, and they were going to set off on the third day.
The second step of Xiao Jingzhi's plan is about to be implemented.
When the sun rose, Xiao Jingzhi led his death squad towards Shengle.
Shengle is the capital of the Xianbei Dynasty, and it is not in the center of the country from the geographical point of view, but in the west, mainly because the Xianbei Dynasty was only a few tribes when it was first established, and then slowly developed towards the east.
Xiao Jing knew that he was going to attack the capital of Xianbei, which sounded crazy and made people feel that he didn't want to die!
In fact, not only others think so, but even he himself is not very sure, so he doesn't dare to tell Zhou Jinhuan about his plan, if she knows, I'm afraid she won't let him go, right?
Shengle was some distance from Shuozhou, and they ran to the rear of Xianbei, and there was only one city named Yongle to the west of Shengle City.
If you want to break into Shengle, the first place to conquer is Yongle.
