Old General Su's face became serious: "Our time is in a hurry, isn't the time of those mountain bandits in a hurry?" If they come over tonight, they will only start planning now, and at the same time, those mountain bandits will still come to our territory, and we have the advantage, what is there to be afraid of? ”

Everyone suddenly didn't dare to speak, and once the performance on their faces was still trembling and frightened.

The prefect said to General Su embarrassedly: "Mr. Su, I don't know if your brother has any other methods?" If you have to fight with those mountain bandits tonight, I am afraid it will be reluctant for our current troops, and I heard that you were in order to catch these dozens of three fats last night, for a day and a night, I am afraid that your spirit will also be lost, and you will not be able to make the best decision......"

General Su's eyes suddenly froze: "When the old man went into battle to kill the enemy, he stayed up without sleep for three days and three nights, and he didn't eat or drink, so what is this sleepless night?" ”

Su Saburo came to his father's side and whispered: "Father, since the morale of the soldiers in Qingzhou is so low, why don't we put all these mountain bandits back first,

In this way, those mountain bandits will not run to Qingzhou City to rescue, and we can also buy more time, make good deployment arrangements, give them enough morale, and then go directly to the cottage to kill them all! ”

Su Shilang also stepped forward and proposed: "The third brother is right, it's better to let these bandits go first, we can also buy more time, lest we are not fully prepared, these bandits will be rescued in the end, and then it will affect our morale to attack the bandits in the future......"

Su Dalang disagreed: "These mountain bandits are not to be afraid at all, as long as everyone works together, those mountain bandits have reached our territory, and we must not take them down quickly!" ”

"The key is that now these people in Qingzhou are not united at all, and they have no morale at all!" Su Erlang couldn't help but interject.

Seeing that his sons began to discuss, General Su suddenly raised his hand and said coldly: "What you said makes sense, but can you guarantee that if you put these mountain bandits back and leave enough time for everyone to arrange and deploy, the morale of these Qingzhou soldiers will be high?" ”

Hearing General Su's words, everyone suddenly stopped talking.

Mrs. Su, who was on the side, immediately understood her husband's decision, and echoed: "Morale is such a thing, once you retreat once, you can't grow back, if you put these mountain bandits back today, it will be a compromise, that is, admitting defeat, admitting that our officers and soldiers are not as good as their mountain bandits, will only make our morale more and more sluggish." ”

"So what now?"

The prefect heard the conversation of the Su family next to him, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

said that the old general did not answer him, but looked at the onlookers, and asked in a sonorous voice: "The people present, if any of you have been robbed and oppressed by the mountain bandits, please raise your hands!" ”

The people of Qingzhou present raised their hands one after another.

Looking at it, there are seven or eight percent of the people who raised their hands!

Seeing such a scene, everyone's hearts couldn't help but tremble.

It can be seen how rampant those mountain bandits are on weekdays!

"Do you hate those bandits?" Old General Su asked loudly.

"Hate!" The people gritted their teeth in reply.

Old General Su continued to speak: "Do you want to take revenge and let those mountain bandits suffer retribution?" ”

"Yes!" The people responded in unison.

"Good!" Old General Su nodded heavily: "Then I'll give you a chance to slash the enemy today, have you seen the dozens of mountain bandits we captured just now?"

As long as you take a step forward, I can lead you to capture those comrades who came to rescue these bandits tonight, and when the time comes, these bandits will be killed or killed, it is up to you! ”

"This ......" The prefect on the side hurriedly wanted to say something.

The old general Su suddenly said to him: "Lord Prefect, if these people have made great achievements in facing the mountain bandits, you shouldn't be stingy with giving them the opportunity to slash the enemy, right?" ”

Hearing General Su's words, the prefect was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to react, and he stammered: "Mr. Su, do you want these people to deal with those mountain bandits?" ”

"Not bad!" Old General Su's face was pale: "The morale of the officers and soldiers is too poor, I'm afraid that before the mountain bandits attack, they have already lost their armor, I might as well use these people with grudges, maybe they can be more useful than these soldiers!" ”

When the people heard that they could personally avenge the blood hatred, their blood surged at the moment, and they said loudly: "Please General Su lead us to slash the enemy together and take revenge!" ”

As he spoke, they all stepped forward without fear.

General Su glanced at these people, and then glanced at the prefect and his soldiers who were cowering, raised his chin and said: "This time to encircle and suppress the mountain bandits, I think these people are more useful than the soldiers under your command, Lord Prefect, tonight, Lord Prefect will take your soldiers to stay in the house, don't come out, lest you be killed by the mountain bandits." ”

Hearing General Su's words, the prefect's face suddenly turned white.

He is a dignified prefect, the parent official of the people of a state, and he should rush to the front when he encounters danger, but now this old Mr. Su actually let him shrink behind, isn't this indirectly saying that he is incompetent?

The other soldiers also heard General Su's words, and they felt very uncomfortable.

They are soldiers of the government, and they should rush in front of the people to protect the safety of the people in a state, and now they want to hide and let those people rush in front to protect them, isn't this a big joke in the world, saying that their soldiers in Qingzhou are useless?

Thinking of this, the soldiers immediately raised their swords and shouted: "We are upright soldiers, how can we be turtles with shrunken heads and hide in the house, but let the people charge to protect us?"

Are we not more capable than they are? Since they are not afraid, why should we be afraid, since Mr. Su can lead these people to win this battle, what do we have to scruple about? ”

The prefect also followed behind and nodded repeatedly: "I am the parent official of Qingzhou, it is even more impossible to hide, I must be braver than the people!" ”

Seeing that the morale suddenly soared, General Su was finally satisfied and began to arrange for tonight's deployment with everyone.

The Su family, other exiled prisoners, and the messengers couldn't help but secretly admire the old general's skills when they saw it.

is worthy of being a veteran general who has been on the battlefield for many years, and his morale is re-invigorated in just a few words.

Ying Bao couldn't help but secretly give his grandfather a thumbs up again.

Grandfather's method is a proper method of agitation!

Obviously, he seems to dislike the poor morale of the soldiers, so he can only choose the people as his soldiers.

In fact, my grandfather's purpose was still those soldiers of the Yamen, saying that he wanted to choose the people to fight against him, but in fact, it was just to stimulate the morale and bravery of those Qingzhou soldiers.

It looks like the results are pretty good.

That night, everyone was ready to deploy, and at ten o'clock in the middle of the night, when everyone was extremely sleepy, those mountain bandits really sneaked into Qingzhou City.
