Chapter 396: Counter-Plot
Hu Man didn't expect to call himself here for this: "Is it difficult to attack this mountain?" Anyway, you have 20,000 people in your hands, right? ”
"But if you want to attack by force, it is to injure the enemy by 800 and lose 1,000 yourself, which is the next policy." Wu Zhan pulled her to sit next to him: "And this method has to be hidden from some people, so as not to leak it out like a general suppressing bandits." ”
Hu Man bit his lip: "Okay, but at least let me know what the terrain is." "She doesn't know much...... However, I still know the thirty-six schemes, but I really don't know if I can apply them to it.
"There are drawings, I have sent people to encircle and suppress it a few times before, and the terrain is almost the same, but the terrain is too steep, if there are people on it to fight, they can't go up at all." Wu Zhan got up and took the pen as he spoke: "I watched it for an afternoon yesterday, and I can roughly draw it." ”
Wu Zhan only drew a general terrain, Hu Man and the three of them came around to see, the mountain is high on all sides, low in the middle, the bandits' den is in the middle of the home, there is no way to hide from the sky and the sea to attack, halfway will be attacked from above, it is simply a natural barrier.
"What did you have planned?" Hu Man asked while turning his mind.
"I was thinking of finding a way to lead them out and then annihilate them in two ways, but when I thought that they had just attacked the barracks, they must be extra vigilant at this time, they will not be easily fooled, and they will not leave the base camp casually, it will probably be difficult to implement."
Hu Man thought about it: "If you don't want to attack and cause too many casualties, you can only find another way, in fact, this method is very good." ”
"It's useless if it's not practical." Su Lijiu cocked Erlang's legs: "Wu Zhan can boast to us about Haikou, saying that you must have a way." ”
Hu Man turned his head to look at Wu Zhan: "What did you just say?" Could there be an internal response? ”
"Hmm." Wu Zhan nodded: "So it's even more difficult to implement, to prevent someone from giving them a message." ”
Hu Man pursed his lips: "Since it is difficult to avoid leaking the news, why not use it?" ”
Wu Zhan reacted the fastest: "You mean, use the traitors to send them the wrong information, and then we will use the right to deal with the opposite?" ”
"Huh?" Su Lijiu slapped his fan: "It's really a good way!" ”
A few people swept away their previous sorrows, and seemed to have a direction, and Wu Zhan couldn't help but reach out and hug Hu Man: "Good way!" If you plan well and take advantage of this, you should be able to save a lot of trouble! ”
"So who do you suspect of being a traitor?" Hu Man looked left and right: "Wei Ziqi? ”
"Hmm." Wu Zhansi said: "Since he led the prince to rebel, his identity has been very clear, if he is not a person of the third prince, then there is only one possibility!" And he didn't hide it, if this gang of bandits really had something to do with them, it must have something to do with Wei Ziqi. ”
"In that case, if it is too easy to reveal to him, maybe he will doubt the authenticity." Wu Yuan muttered: "How to make him believe and reveal it is also a problem. ”
"I have my own way of this." Wu Zhan said: "Now that we have made a decision, we have to think about what kind of news I want him to give to the bandits." ”
The other Hu Man didn't participate anymore, after all, she really didn't know anything about fighting, she changed some hot tea for the three of them, washed the fruit, and found that they were still discussing, Hu Man shook his head, and felt tired for them.
When the sun was about to set, a few people came out of the study, Su Lijiu directly stayed to eat, looking at their faces, Hu Man asked, "Is there a way?" ”
Wu Zhan smiled: "It's just to see if it works." ”
The next morning, Wu Zhan went to the barracks, Su Lijiu didn't show up for a long time, and he went today, and then pretended to gather the officers to discuss the strategy, and naturally there was Wei Ziqi inside.
"Xiaguan thinks it's a strong attack!" One said: "There is no other way, although the losses are greater, but this time we can't let them go, otherwise people will think that we are all straw bales, and let a few grass cowards bully us." ”
"No!" Another retorted: "The bandits naturally want to be suppressed, but they can't ignore the lives of our soldiers, I think it's better to deploy well and use tactics best." ”
"It's easy to say, you have a plan!"
The man choked up, "Isn't that what you're thinking?" ”
Wu Zhan looked up at Wei Ziqi: "Does Wei Duwei have any opinions?" ”
Wei Ziqi is trouble-free: "My subordinates also feel that there is no good way except to attack." ”
The last thing the bandits are afraid of is to attack, they have the advantage, and the more this is the case, the more they will not be able to get their way in the martial war.
"A strong attack will definitely not work." Wu Zhan leaned back: "Look at this terrain, you say, what if we surround them for a month or two?" ”
Several people immediately looked at the map: "Your Excellency wants to trap them to death?" Wait until you run out of ammunition and food to catch them all again? ”
"That's not going to work, is it?" Wei Ziqi interjected: "This mountain is originally large, and it has been encircled and suppressed several times, so he must have experience and hoarded a lot of necessary goods, besides, such a big mountain, there are many fruits and prey in the mountain this season, I am afraid it will be difficult to get trapped to death, and it will take a long time, and I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to deal with it at that time." ”
Wu Zhan glanced at him: "That's right." ”
"This gang of bandits can be entrenched in Changling for so long, it must be difficult to deal with." Su Lijiu sighed: "It's better to set fire to the mountain!" ”
"Huh?" Everyone else was shocked: "Such a big mountain, where can it be burned?" ”
"Why not?" Su Lijiu Hang'er said: "If burning a mountain can uproot this group of moths, it's worth it, besides, haven't you heard that wildfires can't be burned and the spring breeze blows and grows?" Can the mountain still burn to death? In a few years, it will still flourish. ”
"Pour... It doesn't seem impossible. Someone was really moved: "People and animals are more important than animals and plants, and it must be the lives of soldiers!" It's not bad to be able to destroy them without injuring a single soldier, but for such a big matter, I'm afraid I have to get the emperor's consent. ”
"The emperor may not agree, right?" Wei Ziqi frowned: "If the adults use this method, the emperor will probably only think that the adults want to get rid of them once and for all, and they will burn the mountain, and how much reaction the burning of the mountain will cause, no one knows, such a big mountain, so many plants, once it is burned, I am afraid it will be difficult to extinguish it, what if there is a wind and it affects the villages and towns next to it?" ”
"Evacuate early." Wu Zhan slapped the table: "This is a way, evacuate the surrounding people, then burn them out, and then divide and annihilate them!" Casualties were also avoided. ”
"Your Excellency!" Wei Ziqi was still dissuading: "No one has ever used this method, adults have to think twice!" ”
"I've been thinking about it all day." Wu Zhan took a sip of tea: "But I can't think of any better idea except for a strong attack, everyone go back and think about it again, if there is no better plan, then the official will go to ask the emperor for his consent and burn the mountain to suppress the bandits!" ”
When everyone left, Su Li Jiucai said, "Shouldn't anyone really think of any other way?" ”
"Probably not." Wu Zhan said: "We can't think of a few of us, what else can we do?" I will do the emperor's will, and when the time comes, it will be up to him to take the bait. ”
This matter could not be delayed, and the martial arts only gave them one day, and in the evening they gathered again and asked, "How is it?" Is there a better way for everyone? ”
Several people shook their heads: "My lord can test it, if the emperor doesn't object, then there is no need to have any scruples, if you talk about the people...... If you can exterminate the bandits who spare their peace, you shouldn't say much. ”
"I think it's doable." Another person also chimed in: "Although it is a pity to burn such a good mountain into a black outburst, but our Changling has beautiful scenery, and there is no shortage of that one, and according to what Master Su said, it can still grow!" ”
"Where's Captain Wei?" Wu Zhan looked at him: "If you don't have any opinions, this official will ask the emperor for an order tomorrow morning." ”
"Xia Guan still thinks it's inappropriate." Wei Ziqi said: "Or, we can hold our troops for now, and wait until they think the limelight has passed and let down their vigilance before acting." ”
Wu Zhan shook his head: "Didn't you say that?" The emperor won't give us so much time, just got into trouble, according to what you said, they won't be short of supplies, I'm afraid they won't come out for a while, even if they come out to rob the house, it's a small guy, and it's useless to stay with these individuals. ”
"Okay, okay, that's it!" Su Lijiu waved his fan: "You all go down and bring your own soldiers, and you can be dispatched at any time!" As long as the emperor's will comes, immediately march to Dongliang Mountain and set fire to the mountain! ”
"Yes!" A few people stood up and went to prepare, Wei Ziqi's face was helpless, but seeing that they had made up their minds, they could only go out first, but he went out of the barracks and went directly into the city.
"Why did you come back so late today?" is still a secret passage in his house, Wei Mingyao is quietly embroidering.
Wei Ziqi sighed: "Don't mention it, just because the military camp was attacked!" Not to mention the crime of not letting the emperor govern the armed war, do you know what he wants to do now? He wants to set fire to the mountain! ”
"And this?" Wei Mingyao stopped: "Is he crazy?" So big a mountain, and it burned? ”
"He wants to capture Dongliang Mountain at the lowest possible cost, and it is naturally better to lose the mountain than to lose people." Wei Ziqi slapped the table with one hand: "He is afraid that the emperor will condemn him, so he has to find a way to get rid of Dongliang Mountain, this time he has gone too far, right?" ”
Wei Mingyao turned his head: "But what I'm strange about is that such a major dereliction of duty, how could the emperor let it go so easily?" ”
"I'm weird too." Wei Ziqi sat down: "The emperor is not so good-tempered!" So many ministers have joined him, and he can still be unharmed, as long as he makes up for it, he is too lucky. ”
Wei Mingyao shook his head: "I always feel that something is wrong, what is it?" ”
