Chapter 82: A Strategy to Retreat from the Enemy

Gulian Mountain Shizi Peak, deep mountain old forest trees towering to the sky, tendons and vines, covering the sky and the sun.

Surrounded by mountains on all sides, the middle is an open place, the east and west ends are the steep canyons that are not opened, and the north and south are the steep cliffs.

You can hide soldiers when you enter, and you can defend the soil when you retreat, and it is a good den of natural green forest.

The Anle Village, where the Golden Daoke is located, is located in such a dangerous terrain, so although there are currently two teams of officers and soldiers besieging the east and west. However, compared to the people in the village, there is no obstacle, at most, they have less access to this valley and less contact with the outside world. Anle Village was originally like a paradise, as long as there is food in the village, it will not hurt to let your officers and soldiers surround it for a long time.

Therefore, after hearing the news reported by the people, although the golden knife man and the old man Dong were panicked for a moment, even their eyes were confused for a moment. But after a while, the two of them regained their initial calm, as if nothing had happened, and continued to walk on the path back to the meeting hall.

The gathering hall of Anle Village was already full of big and small leaders who heard the sound of the alarm bell, and before the golden knife and the old man Dong did not come back, they had already discussed and expressed their opinions. Between fighting and not fighting, it has become the last unified voice in the mouths of all people.

A little minion shook his throat and shouted, "Lord Di Zhai is back, Lord Di Zhai is back." Only then did everyone in the hall fall silent, watching the every move of the Di Zhai Lord with a pair of Ling Li Xue Liang eyes, as if they were only waiting for the Di Zhai Lord's order, they would pick up their knives and guns to resist these corrupt officials who invaded their homes.

Lord Di Zhai walked into the hall, sat straight into his tiger skin seat, and said to everyone. "Brothers, we robbed the grain and grass of King Liang's mansion and attracted officers and soldiers. It's not a big deal in the first place, and it's not the first time we've lived under a sword every day. But our Anle Village owes a favor to one person today, did you all hear the shouts of the officers and soldiers outside? They named and wanted to arrest Li Qiusheng, the little hero of our Anle Village, not our people. Why? It's because Li Qiusheng helped our Anle Zhai soldiers to rob twenty truckloads of grain and grass without bloodshed, a full twenty carts! Think about when we ever robbed so much food? Isn't this all the credit of Li Qiusheng? Today, the officers and soldiers are coming to capture my heroes, and they are going to cut off our food and clothing, can you promise them? ”

"No!" "No!" "Kill me, and you won't agree!" Everyone in the hall suddenly boiled with blood, and the shouts came and went, wave after wave.

"Okay, since everyone doesn't agree, what should we do next?" The lord of Di Zhai took advantage of the fire to ask this sentence again, and stood in the middle waiting for everyone's answer.

"After doing this battle, let the officers and soldiers know how powerful our Anle Village is." Someone said loudly.

"Owner of the village, let's fight knife to knife, gun to gun, and fight these bastards well. also let them know that our Anle Village is not easy to mess with, and if you want to come to arrest people, you have to ask whether the knife in our hands is willing or not? Someone else suggested.

"That's right, the owner of the village, those bastards want to come and arrest our great benefactors in Anle Village, let them eat. Let's defend according to the danger, let them have no return, and beat them to cry and call their mother. Someone else coaxed from it.

。。。。。。

"Okay, okay, you guys, be quiet, listen to me. I understand everyone's intentions, it is not difficult to fight with the officers and soldiers, the difficult thing is that we can't pay for the life and death of Anle Village. The lord of Di Zhai said to everyone for a while, and as soon as the words landed, the murderous scene that everyone had just made was brought into a dilemma.

Suddenly, an old man with a beard stood up and said. "Lord Di Zhai, in this way, we can't fight, and we can't fight. If it goes on like this, what is good? ”

As soon as the bearded old man said this, everyone in the hall was in an uproar, and they exchanged heads and talked about it.

Someone among them said, "Master Di Zhai, then tell me what we should do." It's all made clear, so that you brothers can be prepared. ”

After speaking, everyone rose up and echoed the way. "Yes, Lord Di Zhai, our brothers must know the details."

"Everyone, don't worry, don't worry, please listen to me. I don't think we can go against the imperial court with great fanfare, and we can't let the officers and soldiers arrest Li Qiusheng. But in order to solve the current predicament, we must fight with the officers and soldiers. The best thing to do is to fight, but not to hurt people's lives. Whether it is our Anle Village or the government's, we should avoid it. ”

"Hey, my good master, there are always people to die in war. You are far-fetched to tie our hands and feet, how can this battle be fought? A stocky man muttered, as if dissatisfied.

"Of course, there is a way to fight, and we are going to fight a battle that hurts but does not kill. In this way, we can not only prevent Anle Village from becoming a public enemy of the imperial court, but also sing our name in the rivers and lakes," said the master of Di Zhai.

"Good", "good", and someone in the hall shouted several "good" words one after another.

"Then please tell the brothers about your good intentions quickly." The crowd shouted again.

At this time, I saw that the lord of Di Zhai bowed to everyone, and he was about to say the good idea he had brewed in his heart. I heard a sonorous man's voice from outside the hall, and the words had already come in. "Master Di Zhai, I know what you want to do. Why don't you let me tell you all about it and see if it's or if it's true. ”

Everyone was shocked, and when they looked back, they saw that the person who came was none other than Li Qiusheng, who had a clever plan to grab the grain and grass of the 'Liang Wangfu'. I saw that he was already wearing a sky-blue robe, with a ribbon tied on his head, and a map in his hand. It is like a talented and well-chested man in a brocade suit, who comes flutteringly.

Li Qiusheng said as he walked in slowly, holding his fists in his hands. "Li Qiusheng has caused trouble to all of you, affecting the men, women and children of Anle Village, I really don't want to go, I apologize here, please forgive me."

"Great benefactor, don't say this, I'm afraid we'll see each other if you're so polite. Although it is the grain and grass that you have come up with a clever plan, in the final analysis, it is the people of Anle Village who have benefited. How can this be said to be your trouble? It's a big sight, it's a big sight. The bearded old man stood up again and said this, and the crowd immediately echoed again.

"Yes, little hero, you are a great benefactor from God in our Anle Village. Don't say those raw words. You better hurry up and talk about your method of defending against the enemy, so that everyone is prepared and will not be unfamiliar with the battle. Another old man who was a little rickety said.

"Hmm" Li Qiusheng replied calmly, and then said all his intentions.

"The terrain of Anle Village is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The cliffs on the north and south sides stand on the side, as long as we guard the entrances on the east and west sides. We can't get out, and the officers and soldiers can't get in. To break this predicament, we must take the initiative to attack, one is to take advantage of the familiar terrain, set up more traps, pieces of cloth and bamboo tips, lure the enemy deep, ambush and attack; The two cut off their water sources and forced them to comply. Exhausted without water, exhausted without a fight. The three companies were besieged, besieged but not attacked. ”

Everyone was puzzled, and looked at Li Qiusheng in confusion for a while. One of them said, "Little hero, you can still understand one or two ways to do this." However, the third article is a bit difficult to understand, so please explain it in detail. I saw Li Qiusheng smile slightly, turned his head and glanced at the golden knife man sitting under the tiger skin account, and continued to speak.

"The reason why the third one is besieged but not attacked is that we only mash the sun-dried peppers, peppercorns, and peppers into grains, soak them in oil, and wrap them into bullets. When the camp is besieged, fire is set to the camp. At that time, the spicy smoke will be filled on all sides, plus quicklime powder will be thrown from the side to assist, but I am afraid that the officers and soldiers will be attacked by this spicy smell, and the lime powder will be flooded with sweat, and the skin will be spicy and the meat will be burned. If you want to fight us, it is already difficult to protect yourself, and when the time comes, we will kill from it, and why is it difficult to hurt but not kill. ”

When Li Qiusheng finished explaining the ideas in his heart one by one, everyone in the hall was in an uproar again. There are those who are in favor, those who are still reminiscing about it with doubts, and there are several who are against it but do not have ideas.

As soon as the golden swordman saw this lively scene, he began to talk again, and he immediately stood up and waved to everyone. "Brothers and elders, what Li Qiusheng said just now is probably what I want to express. Although the details vary, the overall approach is exactly the same. Li Qiusheng's method not only brought into play our geographical advantages and specialties, but also severely hit the current weaknesses of the official army. This is the best thing, we have achieved what the book of war says, know this and know the enemy, and do not slack off in a hundred battles. When everyone in the hall heard Lord Di Zhai say this, they woke up as if they were on the top of their cheeks, and they all raised their hands in approval.

Seeing that everyone in the hall had no objections, Li Qiusheng turned around and said to the golden knife guest again. "Lord Di Zhai, our plan has been decided, so let's quickly allocate people to do it. Don't put it off any longer, the war is early, not too late. As soon as Li Qiusheng's words fell, Di Jinyan next to him rushed out and urged the golden swordman. Dad, what this kid said is not unreasonable, it's time for us to make plans early. ”

"Ha, ha." The golden swordsman suddenly laughed twice, his eyes swept over Di Jinyan's body, and he said mockingly. "Old man Dong, see it. My daughter, her heart is biased towards outsiders. In the future, how can she still have my father in her eyes? Bitter, bitter, it turns out that this is how the female university is not staying. ”

"Dad, you made fun of your daughter in public again, and your daughter ignored you." Di Jinyan said coquettishly at this time, and her pink face gradually turned a beautiful pink.

After everyone laughed for a while, the golden knife man suddenly stopped and said. "Brothers, listen to the order: the second master, the third leader each leads the men and horses of three points of Anle Village to the east and west to meet the officers and soldiers, and I bring one-third of the men and horses to meet back and forth. You must remember to act according to the plan, and you must not kill in vain. Everyone got the order, shouted to the lord of Di Zhai, and took the order one after another.

In the hall, the firelight flickered, and in a blink of an eye, only a few thin figures remained, and the lively scene just now suddenly became deserted.

It was like a cold autumn rain, wetting Li Qiusheng's damp mood at this time.
