"Are you going to the Demon Realm?"

Ding Zhuqiang had a lot of thoughts, the expression he revealed in the closed moon, the words he left, he didn't think much about it, he studied it deeply, sighed, and turned back to the house.

After a night, Ding Zhuqiang slept until dawn......

After the two unmarried wives who accompanied the closed moon Ruoshui, they were warm and comfortable, talking and laughing, and after breakfast, Ding Zhuqiang began to be busy with business.

"What's the matter? Two, how many troops did you recruit yesterday alone?"

Ding Zhuqiang sat in the study peacefully, and as soon as Uncle Ah Lan and Miao Changnian entered the door, they asked with a smile.

"Not much, not much, only twenty or thirty thousand. ”

Uncle Ah Lan is also straightforward, and he is happy to answer.

"I'm about the same. Miao Changnian was slightly surprised, so he replied casually, and waited to sit down opposite him, but only then asked: "I said you kid, you don't need the huge mansion hall, why do you like this narrow side room?"

"Big brother, you don't understand this, the so-called hall is used for meeting guests, and this study I refer to as a short time is used to discuss military and political affairs and other secrets, naturally the more secluded the better, save people's eyes. ”

Ding Zhuqiang sat down at the desk and explained. And on this desk, someone has already ordered someone to prepare the four treasures of the study, at first glance, it really looks like an office use.

"That's right. Ding Zhuqiang followed up and asked: "What is the latest enemy situation?"

Miao Changnian replied first: "According to the report, the Ten Thousand Beasts City has been stationed in the area on the edge of the southwest mountain. In my guess, it should be waiting for the arrival of a large force in the rear. ”

"Oh! Could it be that the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first?"

Ding Zhuqiang was secretly startled, and then turned his eyes to look at Uncle Alan.

"The reports I get are different. Uncle Ah Lan frowned deeply and said, "After Ao Xing City and Baichuan City joined forces, they have already begun to advance from the camp. It is expected that we will be able to kill our barbarian tribe in two days. ”

"If that's the case, according to my guess, two days later, Ten Thousand Beasts City will definitely recharge and raid the Miao clan. And then with another blow, the two ways of the attack, straight to the Eight Desolation City!"

Ding Zhuqiang got up and speculated.

Uncle Ah Lan even got up and said, "It is precisely for this reason that I have assembled a large army and set off early this morning. Before the enemy army invades our barbarian tribe, do a good job of ambushing, take it by surprise, and attack inside and outside. ”

"This will only lead to a head-on confrontation with the enemy, and it will be stuck in a bloody battle, even if it is completely victorious, it will only kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, which is not very cost-effective!"

Ding Zhuqiang shook his head and said, not approving......

Uncle Ah Lan couldn't help but say angrily: "This battle is like this, we have to fight hard with the enemy, otherwise do we want the enemy to be stupid enough to stick out his head and cut it off for us?"

"Yes!" Miao Changnian also agreed: "When the enemy is attacking, what other way can you repel except for a bloody battle with it!"

"Hmph!" Ding Zhuqiang sneered and sneered: "Have you two forgotten how you came back with a bang when the Eight Desolate Cities led troops to invade your two clans?"

"This ......"

Uncle Ah Lan and Miao Changnian glanced at each other and hesitated.

"This war needs to rely on strategy, strategy, and even more so on command, not to say that when the enemy comes, he can only lead the generals to fight hard, that is a foolish way of fighting. After Ding Zhuqiang reprimanded, he turned to re-sit and said: "You two should be calm for a while, sit down and listen to me, for these two enemy forces, I have already thought of a strategy against the enemy, and I will teach them to annihilate the whole army and flee in the wilderness." ”

"Oh, really?"

Uncle Lan was overjoyed.

"Really?"

Myo's eyes also lit up.

The two of them were suspicious, so they had to hold back the excitement in their hearts, and sat down relatively well, but they wanted to listen to them.

"Lord of the City, the salt well has invited the salt boss. ”

At this moment, he suddenly heard a report from one of his attendants.

"Very well, get him here. ”

Ding Zhuqiang was very happy and commanded.

"Yes. ”

The attendant took the command and departed.

"Chase the strong, this ......"

Uncle Ah Lan was surprised, and Miao Changnian was also puzzled.

"You two just have to sit and watch, the mountain people have their own tricks. ”

Ding Zhuqiang looked resourceful and thoughtful, and sat calmly in front of the desk.

At this point, the two had to wait and see what happened.

After a while, the attendant brought in the salt boss of the Salt Well Gang.

Ding Zhuqiang immediately got up, greeted him with a warm smile, and after a polite greeting, he turned to the topic and said bluntly: "Salt boss, at the moment of the great enemy, this city lord still hopes that you can prepare some poisonous salt for me." ”

"Ahh

Elder Yan was shocked, and he really didn't know why this city lord asked for poisonous salt when he opened his mouth.

Ding Zhuqiang even smiled and said: "The city lord also knows, your gang has been operating well salt for many years, and for a while, it should not be a problem to prepare dozens of catties of poisonous salt before noon." ”

"Okay! Since the lord of the city has such orders, I will do it. ”

Boss Salt was also shrewd, didn't ask much, and took the order.

"Eh, Boss Salt, please wait. Ding Zhuqiang did not forget to instruct: "This matter must be kept secret, and the poisonous salt prepared should take more than a few hours before the poison attacks." ”

Boss Yan said very respectfully: "I know, the city lord can rest assured." ”

"Lord of the city, the owner of the hundred merchant houses is here, and the head of the Feiling family is also here. ”

Before Boss Salt could bow and leave, the attendant came to report again.

Ding Zhuqiang calmly ordered: "First invite the owner of the hundred commercial houses to come, and the head of the Feiling family will entertain tea in the hall of the mansion." ”

"Yes. ”

The attendant hurried away.

After they all left, Miao Changnian guessed and asked, "Chase Qiang, do you want to use poison?"

Ding Zhuqiang said to himself leisurely: "It is true that the so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, and the use of poison is just a small trick." ”

"Well......" Uncle Lan muttered, "This poison can indeed make the enemy unguardable, but it is a bit difficult to mix this poisonous salt into it." ”

"Since I can think of using poison, naturally there is a way to transport it. ”

Ding Zhuqiang had just finished speaking, but he only heard a report from the attendant, and led the middle-aged scribe-looking merchant into the study.

Ding Zhuqiang greeted him warmly, and after greetings, he cordially held the hand of the owner of the hundred merchants, came to the table, and praised: "The lord of the hundred merchants, since the lord of this city heard that the brothers of your hundred merchants have thoroughly explored the terrain and terrain of my eight desolate cities within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, it is simply a living map! I don't know if I can demonstrate it on the spot, show my hand, and first outline the terrain and terrain within thousands of miles of my eight desolate cities, so that the city lord can open his eyes!"

"The city lord has won the award, and thanks to the city lord's high esteem, then I have no choice but to show my ugliness in front of you. ”

After the owner of the hundred merchants was modest, he picked up the pen, and watched with Uncle A Lan for many years, and in his eyes, he saw that the owner of the hundred merchants had already laid out the rice paper, stroke by stroke, like outlining a landscape painting. Even if he taught an outsider, he could see at a glance that it was the landform of these Eight Desolate Cities within a radius of thousands of miles......

After a cup of tea, the lord of the hundred merchants stopped writing and said: "Your Excellency, please take a look, this is the topography of my Eight Desolate City within a radius of thousands of miles. ”

"Well, yes, it's very precise and meticulous. ”

Uncle Ah Lan couldn't take his eyes off it, staring at a large area of desolate landform in the northeast, and couldn't help nodding.

Miao Changnian also said: "Yes! What is even more rare is that several prominent peaks and mountain ranges in the southwest mountains are also outlined, which is even more familiar than those of us who live in seclusion. ”

"Thank you both for the compliment. ”

The owner of the hundred commercial houses is extremely complacent.

After Ding Zhuqiang took a general look, he also had a number in his heart, and nodded and thanked: "Thank you so much, the owner of the hundred merchants, in this way, the enemy will no longer be blinded, and he will not know where he is." ”

"Hmm. ”

Miao Changnian and Uncle Lan also agree and appreciate it.

"That's good. After Ding Zhuqiang pondered, he immediately ordered: "Lord of the Hundred Merchants Bank, the lord of this city also asks you to appoint two brothers who are more familiar with this desolate land and know the roots of this southwest mountain as guides. ”

The owner of the hundred merchants immediately received the order and said: "This is no problem, I will go and transfer people here." ”

"By the way, I have one more thing here. Ding Zhuqiang followed up and said: "I want to ask the brothers of your firm to go to Aoxing City, Baichuan City, and Ten Thousand Beasts City to spread rumors, and they will return after a big defeat, and there are neighboring cities that want to raise troops to attack and rob while they are fired." At the same time, rumors were also spread about several cities in the vicinity of the three cities. ”

"The lord of the city is really smart, and his subordinates admire him. ”

For rumors, for these shrewd businessmen, it is simply tried and tested, and now it is used in the military, what can be imagined as the effect?

"I'd like to see how these three enemy forces will fight me when they learn that there is a fire in the backyard and cause panic in the people."

Ding Zhuqiang really deserves to be familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and he used all the schemes in it.

"Lord of the City, the head of the Feiling family is invited. ”

After the owner of the hundred merchants left in high spirits, Ding Zhuqiang followed closely with the attendants who sent people to pass the message, and he had already led people over.

"Hey, hey, hey...... There really is your kid. ”

Uncle Ah Lan was so happy with Miao Changnian in this study, and now he was the first to stand up and greet him.

"My subordinates have seen the lord of the city. ”

Just to see, this burly man, as soon as he entered the study, he bowed down and bowed.

Ding Zhuqiang was not moved, he stepped forward calmly, helped him up, and said, "The head of the Feiling family doesn't have to be like this, please get up quickly." ”

The head of the Feiling family was even more grateful and said: "Thanks to the love of the city lord, the little girl can be reincarnated as a human being, and his subordinates should repay the kindness of the city lord with death." ”

"Well said, well said. Ding Zhuqiang had to promise again and again, and after helping him up, he said: "It is rare that the head of the Feiling family attaches so much importance to love and righteousness, and knows how to repay the kindness, and now that the enemy is present, the city lord is the time to employ people." I once heard that the daughter of Ling said that your family is good at detective assassination. Now the lord of the city also asks the lord of the family to pick out a few capable hands to jointly defend against the enemy. ”

The head of the Feiling family said emotionally: "Thanks to the love of the city lord, his subordinates will devote all the people of the clan to the death and serve their lives." ”

"It's not so much, so be it!" Ding Zhuqiang's tone softened, and he ordered: "You quickly dispatch ten elites to report to the mansion, and the city lord has his own arrangements." ”

"Yes. ”

The head of the Feiling family also knew that the situation was urgent, so he immediately took the order and left.
