Section 4 What is the use of killing me, it is better to do business
When everyone on the city wall saw the Black Armor Army retreating, they all rejoiced, dancing one by one, they gathered over, set up Shen Mu, and threw Shen Mu in the air to celebrate.
Duan Chao was also overjoyed and said: "Military advisor." The officers and soldiers retreated. ”
Lu Laosan said: "It's not good, the military advisor's strategy of retaliating with a tooth for a tooth is really powerful." Everyone's really calculated a bad thing. ”
Everyone praised Shen Mu's strategy. In fact, Shen Mu was also very at a loss, he didn't have any plans, he just made some simple arrangements according to the plot in the TV series.
Maybe this is the will of heaven, these mountain bandits are a group of reckless men, how can they know the way to defend the city. If it weren't for Shen Mu to explain the method of attacking with fire, they would only use brute force to fight against the officers and soldiers. The black-armored army is all heavily armored soldiers, and ordinary swords can't be cut without moving, and they can't hurt a single hair at all.
Shen Mu was dizzy and disgusting, and he was already very disgusting, so he threw out all the sour water in his stomach with a "wow" sound, and the splashed acid was thrown along the high of everyone, and then several meteors were drawn in the air, scattered on everyone's body, and the smell was unbearable.
Duan Chao hurriedly blocked it, making people put down Shen Mu, and gently patted his back with his other hand: "Military Master, are you okay?"
Shen Mu coughed a few times, and his stomach turned upside down. Shen Mu wiped the sour water from the corner of his mouth and calmed his mind.
Looking down from the wall, although the officers and soldiers had retreated, they were still gathered around the perimeter of the stockade, and the cavalry team roamed the woods on horseback to prevent anyone from escaping. Shen Mu expected that they were preparing for the next round of attacks, so he said: "Although the official army has retreated now, they will come again after they have been rectified, so we have to make plans early." ”
Duan Chao said: "Strategist, what do you think we should do next." ”
Shen Mu said: "I want to talk to them. ”
Duan Chao was very puzzled when he heard Shen Mu say this, and shouted, "Military Division." We are bandits, they are officials, what is there to talk about. ”
Shen Mu said: "I said it before. At present, there are only two ways to survive, one is the death of the peach, and the other is to open the village and surrender. Now the road down the mountain has been blocked by the officials and soldiers, and the road up the mountain is absolutely impossible. So only one has fallen!"
Duan Chao said: "Strategist, you mean our surrender to the imperial court. ”
Shen Mu said: "I didn't mean that. Because I never believed in the imperial court. ”
Shen Mu was right. Shen Mu once watched the Water Margin, and the 108 generals of Shuibo Liangshan all had unique skills, and most of them were heroes of the world. But after being recruited by the imperial court, none of them ended well. The imperial court will not allow such a bunch of cloth-clothed people and children of poor families to compete for power and profit in the court, and the court has always been a game that only wealthy families can participate in.
Lu Laosan said: "What do you mean by the military division? I don't understand the meaning of your words. ”
Shen Mu said: "At the moment, we only have one way, and that is to surrender to Juan, not to surrender to the imperial court." I was thinking that they were going to attack a second time, and before that I needed to get out of town to meet Juan. ”
Duan Chao panicked: "Strategist, let's ask you to go to the official camp alone." How can you rest assured. If then Juan does not listen to you. Instead, they tied you up, and that's good. ”
Shen Mu said: "Everyone can rest assured. I have my own way. ”
Shen Mu already had a plan in his heart. The cottage is full of rabble, although it won a small victory for a while, but it will eventually lose to the attack of the black armor army. I can only gamble, maybe there will be a chance of life, although Duan Chao is unwilling, but there is no better way, teasing a few words, so he has to rely on Shen Mu. Immediately selected two good players, and they went down the mountain with Shen Mu.
Shen Mu categorically refused: "I will go to this matter alone, if there are many people, the other party will definitely be alert." Instead, it can be bad. If I can't come back then, everyone will be fine. Shen Mu paused and said, "Lu Laosan, if I don't come back, and the official army carries out a second attack, you will stick the arrows to the night fragrance and then shoot them out." Shen Mu was desperate, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would come back alive, in case the officers and soldiers didn't listen to what he said, they would continue to attack the generals. Then after his death, he also left the cottage brother with one last damage to the enemy.
Lu Laosan replied, although he didn't know what the meaning of Shen Mu was doing this, but what the military advisor said must be reasonable, and he is a big boss and a rough one, and he obeys orders.
Shen Mu asked people to open the gate of the village and go down the mountain. Duan Chao said goodbye with tears, with the intention that the strong man would never return. Shen Mu didn't think it was funny, if he really "traveled through a day" like this, he could be regarded as the first person in the ages.
Someone in the Black Armor Army found a person walking out of the cottage, and a team of cavalry came to surround Shen Mu under the wall.
Shen Mu hugged his fists and said: "I am the military advisor of Wulong Mountain, and I want to see your general." He deliberately learned to speak from the ancients, which was quite embarrassing.
The leader of the cavalry, Shen Mu, had a righteous face, no fear, and was quite puzzled, there were still people who came to send him to death. He immediately raised his voice and said, "You are a pariah, what is your identity to see my general." ”
Shen Mu said: "I have something important to discuss with your general. If you are delayed, your general may be worried about his life. ”
When the little leader saw that Shen Mu said something vibrant, he was suspicious of the letter! He led his soldiers to aim their swords, guns and axes at Shen Mu, and if he had a slight disobedience, he would chop him into meat puree.
After a while, the sergeant who reported the news came quickly. He said to the little leader, "The general asked him to come over." ”
Shen Mu thanked him and followed the team into the black armor battalion.
Juan had removed his armor and sat cross-legged on the grass to rest, with a small table beside him with a plate of beef, a pot of mutton, and a pot of wine.
Juan took a sip of wine and raised his eyes to look at Shen Mu. Seeing that he was a young man, with a square scarf tied up his hair and his clothes not covering his body, he immediately laughed......
A centurion beside him scolded: "When you see my general, you don't bow down." ”
Shen Mu smiled coldly. "A manly husband kneels to the sky and kneels to his parents, how can he kneel to others. ”
The centurion said angrily: "Presumptuous. As soon as he waved his hand, two sergeants grabbed Shen Mu's left and right shoulders and pressed him to kneel.
Shen Mu stood proudly, and the two of them used their strength for a long time to finally make Shen Mu bend one knee, and Shen Mu still snorted: "Is this the general's hospitality?" ”
Juan sneered, "Guest! I want to see what kind of guest you are." With a wave of the sleeves of his robe, the two sergeants had to let go of Shen Mu's arm and retreat to the side.
Shen Mu said: "The two armies are not fighting each other, even if I am not a guest, the general should not treat me like this." ”
Juan said: "The bandits in the mountains, they actually told me some reason, it's really ridiculous and generous." When everyone heard Juan say this, they couldn't stop laughing.
Shen Mu said: "The general might as well listen to what I have to say first, it's not too late to laugh." ”
Juan said: "I besiege the city with elite soldiers, and the village can be broken in less than two days, so why listen to your noise here." ”
Shen Mu sighed and said abruptly: "If the general doesn't listen, I'm afraid that there will be a disaster of killing." "Shen Mu was an account manager before. He knows the timing and skills of negotiation well, although he does not have the ability to fight the group of Confucians. But he can also speak like a river, his tongue is like a spring, and his ability to observe words and colors is even more different from ordinary people. If it weren't for that, the boss wouldn't have asked him to go alone to receive international clients in Australia.
Shen Mu knew that if he wanted to survive this time, he had to ask Juan to retire. And the strategy of retreating, Shen Mu already knew it. By saying this, he was throwing bricks and stones to arouse Juan's interest. Sure enough, when Juan heard this, he put down the wine glass in his hand and muttered, "Oh. What do you mean by this, but come and hear it, if you say it without a head and no brain. Then I will drag you out and cut you off. ”
Shen Mu said: "This matter is very important, and I ask the general to retreat." Shen Mu paused and continued: "The general doesn't have to worry. There is no power to restrain the chicken, and the general's martial arts are outstanding, and he is definitely not the general's opponent. ”
Duan Chao didn't know, and said with a cold smile: "The official is still afraid that you will not succeed as a young person." With a wave of his hand, the left and right pro-army and centurion gates all retreated a few feet away.
Shen Mu waited for people to retreat, and said slowly: "The general is here to attack the village." What are the fake soldiers you are leading?"
Juan said: "Three thousand horse infantry troops!"
Shen Mu said: "After a battle, there are many casualties. ”
Juan reprimanded: "What are you asking for, are you here to find out my truth?"
Shen Mu said: "According to the general, the armor brought by the general is definitely not three thousand, but more than eight hundred people. In one day, these 800 people should have suffered more than 100 casualties, and I don't know if what I said is right or not. ”
Juan was silent, just took a piece of beef and put it to his mouth.
Shen Mu saw that his brows frowned slightly, and he knew that what he was thinking was true. Shepherd Shen took a breath and continued: "The general is here to make meritorious contributions, but I am not an ordinary person in Wulong Mountain. The general knew that if he continued to attack, the casualties would be small. The general should be exhausted here, even if the general captures the cottage, the personal soldiers in his hands are also exhausted, so he is afraid that the official career will be bumpy in the future. Shen did not want to see the general. Make wedding dresses for others, so I came to negotiate a deal with the general. ”
Shen Mu said it. The reason why Juan withdrew from the army was indeed that he was unwilling to continue to increase casualties. However, if Wulong Mountain cannot be captured, it is difficult to explain the order of the imperial court, and when you are in a dilemma, you can only use wine to eliminate your sorrows.
Juan said, "I want to hear what your deal means to Ben." ”
Shen Mu said: "What the generals are most afraid of is that they have high merit, and what they are even more afraid of is that they don't even have merit. The general came to attack Wulong Mountain in order to obtain a military merit officer and be promoted to one level. But what if the little Wulongshan is just an official promotion, in the end, the biggest merit is not that it was obtained by those civil officials in the state capital and regarded as a political achievement to enter the center. ”
Juan was stunned and said, "You're right. But what does that have to do with the deal? ”
Shen Mu said: "The general has ever heard the story of the fox and the chicken. ”
Juan said, "Oh. What kind of story is this?"
Shen Mu said: "There used to be two foxes in the forest. On this day, the two foxes each caught a few chicks at the farmstead. One of the foxes was so happy that he ate all the chicks. A fox kept the chicks in captivity. The fox before was puzzled, and only thought it was a fool. Foxes who keep chickens in captivity will take a chick and eat it whenever they are hungry and faint. Winter is coming, and the roads are closed by heavy snow in the mountains and forests. At first, the fox, having eaten all the chickens, ran out of food in the winter, and soon starved to death. And the fox who kept the chicks in captivity, because he always endured the hunger in his belly and tried to eat the food he found freshly, did not eat all the chicks. By the winter, the chicks had grown into big, fat roosters. The fox survived the winter. Shen Mu paused and said, "I don't know if you want to be the one who eats the fox with the chickens at one time." Or be the fox who plans for a rainy day. ”
Juan fell into deep thought, he was a smart man, and he knew what the story Shen Mu was telling was and what the moral was. As Shen Mu said, if he captures Wulong Mountain. At that time, he will be able to be promoted to the next level with his military merits. Perhaps, this merit is not their turn, because those officials in the state capital have dozens of pairs of eyes staring at this Wulong Mountain. Juan didn't want to make wedding clothes for others, and no one wanted to do this kind of thing that lost his wife and soldiers. Of course, Juan wants to be the fox who raises chickens, and as long as he keeps the chickens properly, then he will use the chickens that can never be eaten.
Raise your own respect!
