Chapter 600: The Beginning of the Plan

"Please also forgive General Lin, Su wants to use the general's power to eradicate those bandits and does not completely intend to rely on the general, on the way to the general's suppression of bandits, Su and all the forces in the city are willing to provide the general with the greatest help. Lin Xuanzhong's anger flashed, coupled with the demonstration of Xing Hu and others behind him, Su Chi had no choice but to apologize to Lin Xuanzhong first, and then explain in detail.

"What the city lord Su said is exact, as long as General Lin is willing to help us suppress the bandits, we are willing to provide any help to the general within the acceptable range," The atmosphere at the scene was a little tense, and a family head was worried that Su Chi had offended Lin Xuanzhong, so he immediately echoed Su Chi's words.

"I understand what the two of you mean, but I don't know how much you know about those bandits?" Seeing that the two of them showed weakness, they chuckled, and Lin Xuanzhong slowly nodded at the two. Although he did not express his position directly, he indirectly expressed his willingness to help them.

Lin Xuanzhong's question made Su Chi and the head of the family feel relaxed, in fact, they both knew very well that offending Lin Xuanzhong was more serious than offending those strong bandits, because Lin Xuanzhong still had hundreds of thousands of night troops behind him, but they didn't have any help. In the long run, it seems that they have only one way to curry favor with the Night Army.

"That's ......" Next, Su Chi repeated some of the things he said to Yu Tong yesterday, but now he said it in more detail. Especially in terms of the relationship between Qincheng and the bandits, Lin Xuanzhong got a lot of useful information.

Since those bandits really threatened Su Chi and them, presumably Su Chi would not collude with those bandits to kill their night army. After confirming this, think about it again, if Su Chi can't hand over a sufficient amount of property within a fixed time, then Qincheng will face the wrath of those bandits.

Speaking of which, it was precisely because of this that Su Chi and the others had to let go of their scruples about the Night Army, and instead chose to ask the Night Army for help, and even did not hesitate to tell Lin Xuanzhong their true situation now, it can be said that Su Chi and those family masters have completely opened their minds to Lin Xuanzhong, and it is up to Lin Xuanzhong to decide whether Lin Xuanzhong agrees to help them or not.

Of course, Su Chi and they have their own bottom line, if Lin Xuanzhong doesn't agree to them, then they will definitely not pay the grain. Qincheng's strength may not be strong, but the people of Qincheng are united, and Su Chi can naturally think that Lin Xuanzhong will not rashly attack Qincheng, because there is still that group of robbers behind him.

Speaking of which, those bandits may be hoping that Qincheng can have a conflict with the night army, once the night army attacks the city, then when the two sides are inseparable, they can loot Qincheng unscrupulously, and when other night troops come over in the future, as long as they hide in Xiaoyin Mountain, they are not afraid of the night army looking for trouble.

Considering from the side of the bandits, it seems more urgent for Su Chi and others to get Lin Xuanzhong's help. In addition, the fact that they can sit here and have a good discussion with Lin Xuanzhong today actually has a lot to do with Lin Xuanzhong's personality, through the observation of the Night Army's various behaviors in Orchid Village and Qucheng, Su Chi and the other family heads have realized that Lin Xuanzhong is not the kind of person with a violent personality.

Based on the observation of Lin Xuanzhong, the originally antagonistic situation between the two sides took a turn for the better, and Su Chicai openly put forward conditions after meeting Lin Xuanzhong today. Due to the suddenness of Lin Xuanzhong's arrival, Su Chi mentioned this matter at the first meeting, obviously Su Chi had thought about asking the night army for help before.

"I don't know what General Lin wants?" When he felt that the previous request to let Lin Xuanzhong help them was a bit abrupt, Su Chi and those family masters gave Lin Xuanzhong a long time to consider, and only now did they ask what Lin Xuanzhong meant.

"City Lord Su's conditions are worth considering, but I don't know how City Lord Su plans to help us?" In the past, Lin Xuanzhong not only thought about the benefits of cooperating with Qincheng, but also asked Xing Hu and Yu Tong and others about their attitudes.

Originally, Xing Hu and Lin Xuanzhong were both angered by Su Chi's words at first, but after Su Chi later expressed his willingness to do his best to help, Xing Hu's attitude naturally changed. Now if Lin Xuanzhong agrees, then they will not have an opinion.

As for Lin Xuanzhong, at first he wanted to come to Qincheng to find people from Qincheng to cooperate, but now that Su Chi and they have said it so clearly, Lin Xuanzhong naturally did not have a reason to refuse them, but was a little excited, and wanted to ask Su Chi how they planned to help.

"Su and the other family heads can try their best to provide manpower and material resources, as long as General Lin is useful, they will be at will, but I don't know what General Lin's plans are?" Su Chi seemed to lower the standard of demand conditions again, giving Lin Xuanzhong a lot of room to decide.

"If there is the city lord of Su and the heads of the family, Ben will be relieved. Today, Ben Jiang came in a low-key manner, naturally not to find trouble with Su City Lord and you, but just to understand your attitude towards Ben Jiang coming here in person and to inquire about the bandits again. Now that both aspects have been clarified, Ben has now decided to accept your terms. ”

"General Lin, is this true?"

"A gentleman's words, the horse is difficult to chase. ”

"Okay," Su Chi clapped his hands and said yes, so satisfied with Lin Xuanzhong's reply that the whole person seemed a little excited.

"City Lord Su still don't be happy too early, in terms of how to deal with those bandits, Ben Jiang hasn't made up his mind for the time being," Seeing that Su Chi and the family masters behind him were all happy, Lin Xuanzhong had to let them calm down.

"In terms of dealing with those bandits, Su has some ideas, I wonder if General Lin is willing to listen to them?"

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

"As General Lin said before, the steep terrain of Xiaoyin Mountain is indeed not conducive to our initiative to attack, even if the general wants to transfer a large number of city guards from Qincheng to help, it is still a bit risky to attack the bandit village together, so it is not a wise choice for Yi Su to take the initiative to attack the bandit village. ”

"Does City Lord Su mean to lure them all out?"

"Exactly, if the general can think of a plan to lure all those bandits out of the bandit village and into the open area between the two cities of Qin and Qu, then we will be able to eliminate the bandits in one fell swoop. ”

"What City Lord Su said is very reasonable, it's just how to lure those bandits out is the key," glanced at Su Chi, and then at the other family masters, while thinking about whether they would have a ready-made solution, Lin Xuanzhong turned to look at Xing Hu and the others behind him.

Xing Hu and Yu Tong are really honest, since they talked to Su Chi, they haven't said a word until now, standing with the six guards like a demonstration to each other. Thinking about it now, Lin Xuanzhong really felt helpless.

"General Xing, do you, Yu Tong and Xu Da, the two deputy generals, have a strategy to lure those robbers out of the cottage?" After a moment of helplessness, Lin Xuanzhong still decided to ask them, after all, in terms of seniority, the three of them were higher, Lin Xuanzhong only expected that they had done similar things before, so now there is a way to mention.

"General, why don't you let your subordinates take people to the mountains to test and see how strong that gang of bandits is?" Facing Lin Xuanzhong's inquiry, Xing Hu, who had been paying attention to Lin Xuanzhong's conversation with Su Chi and the others just now, turned his mind at this moment, and proposed to Lin Xuanzhong an idea "temptation" that is commonly used in military warfare.

"General Xing, the strength of those bandits no longer needs to be tested, if you bring people forward, it will only startle the snake. If those bandits are made to be wary of us, things may be even more difficult to do in the future," based on the fact that those bandits might also choose to avoid war, Lin Xuanzhong felt that Xing Hu's proposal would do more harm than good, so he shook his head and immediately expressed his opinion.

"How about bringing some people to scold and fight?" Seeing that Lin Xuanzhong rejected Xing Hu's suggestion and thought of a better way, Yu Tong improved Xing Hu's method a little and used it to deal with Lin Xuanzhong.

"Those bandit leaders may send some people to deal with you, but it will definitely not be all, and more importantly, your actions are not enough to make them leave Xiaoyin Mountain," Shaking his head at Yu Tong, Lin Xuanzhong thought helplessly that Yu Tong's idea was completely to change the soup and not the medicine, and it was no different from Xing Hu's proposal, and it would still startle the snake.

"General Lin, in fact, we don't have a good plan for the time being, I don't know if you can give us some time, let me discuss it first," it was one of the seven family masters who spoke, probably thinking that the method they had considered before was somewhat similar to Xing Hu and Yu Tong's suggestion, and after seeing that Lin Xuanzhong did not approve of this suggestion, this family master told the situation in front of him.

Turning to look at the family master who was speaking, he didn't expect that the other party also had no good way, and then looked at Su Chi and the others, seeing that they were thinking one by one, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't help but feel embarrassed. There is not much food and grass in the army, and those bandits may still be secretly watching their situation, and based on various considerations, it is better to move as quickly as possible to eliminate those bandits.

Otherwise, after a long time, waiting for those bandits to learn that they are in Qincheng may not be conducive to the next plan. Thinking that he still tried his best to avoid the eyes and ears of the bandits when he left Qucheng, Lin Xuanzhong felt more and more that he needed to think of a plan as soon as possible and complete it as soon as possible.

After a period of nervousness, many thoughts flashed through Lin Xuanzhong's mind, and finally his thoughts stopped at one thing that Su Chi had said earlier.

"City Lord Su, just now you said that those bandits want you to send a few truckloads of goods and food to Xiaoyin Mountain?" The next time, Lin Xuanzhong said what he had just thought of in order to think of a clue.

"That's true," Su Chi nodded, not knowing what Lin Xuanzhong meant by mentioning this matter.

"Where do the bandits want you to send them?"

"In the area on the edge of Xiaoyin Mountain, those bandits don't want us to know much about that area, so they may send someone to pick us up before we arrive. ”

"What is the topography of that fringe area?"

"Could it be that General Lin wants to ambush those bandits?" Su Chi's eyes flashed and he directly guessed Lin Xuanzhong's plan, but the next moment, his eyes dimmed again, "But there should only be a few people who came to answer them!"
