Chapter 55: The Siege

"Actually, we don't need to turn to a certain force to complete the mission. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhao Gao patted his head and said, "This is a matter of order of thought, we can build a force by ourselves, and then wait for Zhao'an." ”

"Murder and arson of gold belts, building bridges and paving roads without corpses, the rules of troubled times have been like this since ancient times." Mai Linglong thought about it and quickly figured out the difference between the two.

One is to take refuge alone, and the other is to take refuge with troops, and in troubled times, it is definitely the latter that is more popular.

"This is another way to complete the task, although the degree of completion will be much higher, but correspondingly, the difficulty of the task will be greatly increased." Zhao Gao pressed his forehead and said, "According to the Sui system, there is at least one county commander in the county seat, and one Cao participates in the military, the former should be one hundred and ten stone in Sui, which is equivalent to a six-rank civil official, while the latter is a seventh-rank military attaché, in addition, there are also military officials, and the number is probably quite a lot." ”

"The county order here can survive under several major forces, I'm afraid it's not incompetent, and although Pingyao is a small city, if we want to capture it, it's not so easy." Mai Linglong pointed to the ground with her right hand, drew a simple map, began to plan, designated a mountain, and said, "Since it is not easy to attack it, then let him attack us." ”

"The grass is the king, and the mountain is the king!" Zhao Gao laughed loudly, and summoned all the soldiers, his current intelligence has twenty-nine points, not left at all, replaced by twenty-nine sergeants, among them, except for Meng Yi from the Eastern Han Dynasty Guards, the rest are all from his "Wing Army" guards in the previous world, the four-dimensional attributes are above sixty, as well as the bonus of the ruling aura, the proper elite level, among which Meng Er and Meng San are from the thieves, and they are very familiar with the way to occupy the mountain.

Mai Linglong is obviously very discerning, the cottage selected is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and in the belly of the mountain, there is no problem with hundreds of troops.

Accommodating homeless people, selecting sergeants, these are not strange jobs, as for what to do if there are not so many homeless, this is too simple, Zhao Gao has no moral cleanliness, artificially creating homeless people only needs to rob a few villages and grab food, so naturally there are homeless.

Robbed several villages around the county, under the panic of the people, for safety, a large number of villagers will flow to the county seat, and at this time, the county will definitely restrict the homeless people from entering the city for safety, and the homeless people who have nowhere to go have to leave their hometowns.

In this era, as long as there is something to eat, the children who have just become sensible will consciously participate in labor, and most of the old people will choose to stay in place and wait for death, and will not become homeless, so among Zhao Gao's cottages, the number of old people is very rare, and only a few are also craftsmen with a skill.

The plot silver two played a huge role at this time, Zhao Gao smoothly bought a large amount of food in the hands of the rich in the city, and the other party sent the food out of the city intimately, after having food, in less than a month, Zhao Gao actually recruited an army of 1,000 people, according to the Ming system, five people are set as a team, 20 troops are a team, set up 100 generals, Zhao Gao is the commander of the army, Mai Linglong is the deputy commander, under the jurisdiction of ten hundred generals, ten hundred deputy generals, of which 100 people will be selected from the displaced people, and 100 deputy generals, It is the elite of the "Wing Army" summoned by Zhao Gao, which can be regarded as firmly in his own hands.

The county town has already gotten the news, at this time in the troubled times, there are countless displaced people who have revolted in various places, and it is not new for Zhao Gao to raise the banner of rebellion here, on the other hand, Zhao Gao is almost safe with the county, and even intends to avoid the power of the county, more than one thing is better than one less thing, the county order and Cao Shenjun themselves are also reluctant to get together, and there is no heart to exterminate the bandits, besides, the court is no longer the court, and the bandits have been exterminated, and there is nowhere to ask for credit, how to deal with it, It only restricts the outflow of grain from the rich households.

I have to say that this is a very clever hand, three thousand taels of silver as the start-up capital, and the purchase of a lot of food is indeed a lot, but the increase in the number of people makes Zhao Gao's consumption of food at this time also very huge, and there is not much food stored in the case of sitting on the empty mountain. The strategy of feeding the war with war did not work, and the surrounding villages were able to loot less and less grain, and the few villages with grain were armed by wealthy households, ranging from dozens to hundreds, taking advantage of the terrain to attack more than worth the loss.

This kind of army composed of displaced people, once the food is exhausted, it will immediately be the end of the mutiny, and then the county can easily gather an army without much effort, only need to spend a little grain storage, and the plan of the county order is also very shrewd.

Zhao Gao's strategy of threatening the county seat by expanding the military camp and luring the county order to attack completely failed.

The wisdom of the ancients has never been lower than that of the explorers, and in terms of strategy, an ordinary plot character county order can be said to be no worse than Zhao Gao, and what is worse is nothing more than thousands of years of vision and insight.

When there was still a week left in the military rations, Zhao Gao sent troops to besiege Pingyao County, and stationed a camp outside the county seat far away.

Although there is a little training, the soldiers who have just been recruited are barely able to line up in a line, and it is barely okay to guard the cottage and throw stones, once they rush into battle, it is estimated that they will collapse and scatter at the first time, fortunately, the defenders in the county town are also very scared, it is the hemp pole beating the wolf, looking at each other from a distance.

At this time, the county magistrate was convening all the officials and wealthy households in the city to feast and discuss matters in the county office.

The county order and Cao Shen military are very happy, in the end it is just a bandit and a wanderer, this siege of the county seat, has exposed the fact that they are short of food, at this time the dog jumped over the wall in a vain attempt to break through the county is wishful thinking, although there are only more than 100 serious military soldiers and dozens of officials in the county, but the private guards of the rich in the city are really a lot, at this time the military situation is urgent, these private guards were immediately recruited on the city wall, the rich families are in the city at this time, and there is no complaint about this.

Once these guards are in their hands, they only need to guard for a few days, and it is not so easy for those rich families to take back completely, and then clean up the remnants of the soldiers outside the city, two or three thousand soldiers are easy.

The only thing to worry about is that this Cao Shen military in front of him, the county commander glanced at the military attache who was sitting at the bottom of the drink, although according to his official position, he should be subject to his own moderation, but it was a peaceful time when the imperial court supported him. Now although the imperial court is still there, it is already the same, but now it is this person who really controls the military government, and he has to find a chance to solve him when he turns back, only a military government of more than 100 people, but he has not been able to intervene at all in the past six months, and this person's ability should not be underestimated, and it will be difficult to have a chance when the war is over, but now the foreign enemy is besieging the city, and it is not a good time to do it.

Cao Shen is not a fool, in the past six months, how can he not know how the county order mixed sand into his own government army, but the county order occupies the name of righteousness, so he had to secretly pick out the sand one by one, fortunately, the county order is also very interesting, and after a few times, he no longer stretches out his hand.

At this time, it is difficult to say, just now the county order is silent, a subordinate official called a few times in a row and did not respond, the heart of worry is very heavy, although the eyes did not glance at themselves, but this kind of deliberately controlled vision is even more problematic, this county government, I am afraid that I will not be able to come in the future, after some weighing, Sergeant Cao Shen also made up his mind.

At this time, Zhao Gao had already blended into the city.
