Chapter 233: The rebels enter Hebei

Xiao Qi patted him on the shoulder and said with relief: "My Xiao family's sons and daughters are all good!" โ€

Looking at the scene of the father's kindness and filial piety in front of him, Xiao Yuncheng, who was sitting on the side, was sour, just because he was the eldest son, he should get more support?

"Father, now that the rebels have entered the mountains and forests of southern Hebei, since the eldest brother has led the troops to exterminate the rebels, how does he plan to fight next? Is there a plan? โ€

Xiao Baoyin: "."

What plan did he have to prevent him from being warm with his father for a little longer? This second brother just can't see him!

Xiao Yuncheng naturally noticed the eye knife thrown by the eldest brother of his family, but was he afraid?

Hmph, it's just a paper tiger, it's useless!

Xiao Qi held on steadily, listened to the words of his second son, and came back to his senses, he looked at Xiao Baoyin: "Do you have a plan in your heart?" โ€

Xiao Baoyin's heart tightened: "This happened suddenly, my son needs to go back and think about it, how about giving his father a reply tomorrow?" โ€

Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, you go back and think about it." โ€

The corners of Xiao Yuncheng's mouth slightly hooked up a hint of mockery, straw bags are straw bags, thinking that you can become smart by sleeping one night?

Dream!

Who knows, within two seconds of being happy, Xiao Qi turned his head and asked his second son: "Second brother, do you have any good suggestions for this rebel attack?" โ€

The corners of Xiao Yuncheng's mouth twitched, as Lao Tzu, he had never seen such eccentricity.

What did he say back?

No matter how you go back, it's a pit.

He didn't say anything, and the generals present thought he was worse than the big brother. If he says what he thinks, isn't this letting the eldest brother paint the cat and the tiger!

It is conceivable that in the end, his strategy will become his eldest brother's strategy against the enemy!

At this time, if you want to say what Xiao Yuncheng thinks, you can only say two words: aggrieved!

"Second child, don't have any scruples to speak out boldly, everyone refer to it!" Xiao Qi urged.

Xiao Baoyin saw that Xiao Yuncheng was silent, thinking that he was as bottomless as himself, and a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.

He said understandingly: "Father, the strategy against the enemy is not something that can be figured out in a while, we should give the second brother some time, the rebels have rushed into the mountains and forests, I guess they don't dare to run out easily to harm the township these days, if the second brother can't think of a countermeasure, it is better to give him a night to ponder." โ€

Mr. Zhang, the staff member of Jizhou Assassin History, is actually more optimistic about the second son of the two sons of the Assassin Mansion, and when he hears the eldest son stepping on the second son, he really can't see it.

smiled and said: "The second son is witty, and it will not be difficult for him to deal with these bedbugs of the rebels." โ€

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Xiao Yuncheng: "What countermeasures do you have in mind, it is better to say it for everyone to refer to it." โ€

The other generals all looked at Xiao Yuncheng.

"The rebels are like hide and seek in the mountains and forests, and it is difficult to find their traces, so if the second son has any clever plans, he might as well talk about them."

"Yes, yes, the rebels are like fish entering the sea, if the second son can have a clever plan to eliminate this group of rebels, talk about it quickly!"

When Xiao Baoyin heard this, he was so angry that he almost couldn't hold back the expression on his face when he saw that the generals were so optimistic about Xiao Yuncheng.

"Second brother, don't put on a score, everyone wants to hear your thoughts."

Xiao Yuncheng glanced at him, a good big brother, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer.

In the end, he looked at Xiao Qi: "Father, my son is stupid, he does have some ideas in his heart, don't laugh at me when you say it!" โ€

Xiao Qi smiled and hummed.

Seeing this, the staff smiled and said, "Second son, please speak!" โ€

Xiao Yuncheng saw that everyone's attention was on him, and obviously attached great importance to his opinion.

He cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, although it's almost March at this time, it's not as good as before in the past few years, even if it's almost March, the snow in the wild is only beginning to melt, and if you want to melt it all, you have to go at least in mid-March." โ€

"Everything in the wild is withering, the animals in the mountains are hiding in the cat winter, the rebels were defeated by the soldiers and horses led by the prince and fled, and fled to our Jizhou in a hurry, what do you say they lack most now?"

As if someone had cleared the fog, the staff's eyes lit up, and they said excitedly: "Food! โ€

The others obviously thought of it too, and they all looked stunned.

Xiao Yuncheng smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's food!" The problem that the rebels need to solve urgently now is the problem of food and clothing, although it is easy to hide their whereabouts in the mountains and forests, but the disadvantage is that staying in the mountains in this kind of weather is not unbearable for ordinary people. โ€

When the staff heard this, they asked, "Then what does the second prince mean that we just need to guard the various intersections of the mountain, besiege the rebels in the mountains, and let them fend for themselves?" โ€

Xiao Yuncheng thought for a moment and said, "This strategy is decent, but it is not the best policy. โ€

"Poof!"

Xiao Baoyin couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw the old two selling off the guanzi in front of them. When he found that everyone was looking at it, he coughed lightly: "Cough, second brother, do you have any plan to hurry up and say, don't sell it here, everyone is in a hurry." โ€

The other generals couldn't help but roll their eyes in their hearts, they didn't wait, they were listening with relish, if you hadn't bothered, maybe the second prince would have already told the plan now.

The dissatisfaction in the hearts of the generals could not be expressed, and they still looked at Xiao Yuncheng again.

Xiao Yuncheng glanced at the eldest brother, and then deliberately asked, "Wellโ€”โ€”, eldest brother interrupted just now, where did I go?" โ€

The staff reluctantly reminded him: "Second son, you said that blocking various intersections is not the best policy!" โ€

Xiao Yuncheng knocked his head: "Oh, I remembered." When it comes to blocking various downhill intersections, it's too passive. We might as well take the initiative and see if the rebels will accept it. โ€

The staff member asked very cooperatively, "How do you take the initiative?" It's impossible to search the mountains, right? โ€

Xiao Baoyin couldn't help but want to interrupt again, but was secretly glared at by Xiao Qi, and shut up in a timely manner.

Xiao Yuncheng shook his finger: "No, searching the mountains is the most stupid way, the rebels are now short of food, then our food in Jizhou is one of the things they are bound to get, instead of searching the mountains or blocking the way out, it is better for us to transport grain to the old city, so that the rebels' horses will be informed, which will inevitably lead to the robbery of the rebels." โ€

"As long as we lure them down the mountain, we will arrange in advance, and we are not afraid that we will not be able to destroy them, unless the commander is a straw bag, otherwise the rebels will definitely have no way to escape, and they will be captured or eliminated by us!"

Xiao Baoyin's eyelids jumped, and he scolded his mother in his heart, but he didn't dare to open his mouth and sit down, so he could only sulk in his heart.

If you want to say that he is gripping people's hearts, Xiao Yuncheng is not inferior to anyone in Jizhou, but among his family and friends, he doesn't want to go to great lengths to calculate them, he feels too tired to live like this, hard work, and haggardness, which is not the life he wants.

Xiao Qi listened to his plan, his expression became serious, he thought for a while and said: "The second child's plan is good, if we want to transport grain to the old city, we must prepare in advance, there is not much grain in southern Hebei, so just let a few bags of grain be placed on the surface of the carriage, and camouflage it with wheat stalks or sand below." โ€

"If we want to succeed in this lure strategy, the route we choose cannot be too far from the Yimeng Mountains, if it is too far, the rebels may not be fooled if they feel that the retreat is cut off, and if it is too close and they are afraid of being found out and deceived, they can retreat to the mountains and forests in time. Therefore, everyone should think about this route. โ€

The staff nodded after hearing this, and added: "There are also appropriate people to escort the food team, if there are too many soldiers and horses escorted, the rebels will not bite the hook, if there are too few and I am afraid that we will not be able to involve the rebels and wait for reinforcements to arrive, and finally the rebels escape, we will be defeated again." The next time they try to lure the rebels in the same way, they may not be fooled if they are more vigilant. โ€

How to arrange the next plan to lure the enemy and how to grasp this degree are all particular, and everyone may have to discuss this for a day or two.

The more everyone discussed, the more they felt that it was really hasty to hand over the important matter of exterminating the rebels to the eldest prince!

With the ability of the eldest prince, he doesn't need to be evaluated to know that he can't complete such a difficult thing.

There is no way, some people are born with a thousand pounds on their shoulders, and some people can be crushed with a little weight, and they can't even climb up.

And their eldest son is such a person, sitting back and enjoying his trip, let him work hard and achieve nothing.

Of course, they felt that the eldest prince was not suitable for this military operation, but as his father, Xiao Qi did not feel that no matter how much others said, it would be useless.

In the end, who should go has to go, and it is useless for other subordinates to refute the matter decided by the assassin history of a state.

"Counselor Wang's ability is obvious to everyone, why don't you let him cooperate with me in this operation?" Xiao Baoyin proposed.

When the staff heard this, this was not good: "General Wang is temporarily in charge of the front line of the Zhangshui River to prevent the rebels from escaping back to Yuzhou or Yanzhou, and to prevent trouble in the rear, we can't send him any more tasks, otherwise what if the rebels are distracted and take advantage of the loophole?" โ€

When Xiao Baoyin heard this, his heart grew angry, this dead miscellaneous is always a bad thing for him, against him, and when he takes charge of the soldiers and horses in Jizhou, the first thing is to split his car and give him a five-horse corpse, so as to relieve the stump he has suffered here all these years.

Think about him as the eldest son of Jizhou, but in front of his father, he has to suffer from his bird anger everywhere, and his lungs will explode when he thinks about it!

At this moment, in front of everyone, he still had to maintain his image as the eldest son, so he asked with a smile: "Then according to Mr. 's words, who should escort the most appropriate?" โ€

When Xiao Qi heard this, he could see that these generals under his command were not optimistic about his eldest son.

It's just that

The eldest son is the eldest son of Jizhou Thorn Mansion, and he will inherit everything from him in the future, if the following generals do not support him, whether it is the eldest son or the generals in the future, the future will definitely not be easy.

Xiao Qi glanced at his second son, of course he knew that this son was capable and intelligent.

But so it is.

The second son can live better and break out of the Assassin's Mansion if he leaves the Assassin's Mansion, but the eldest son can't, if he gives up everything in the Assassin's Mansion, he will achieve nothing in this life, and his future life will be a problem.

So, he had to take care of his eldest son a little more-

Alas!

Fatherly and loving!

The south side of the Zhangshui River.

Xia Jing stood on a hillside on the bank of the river and asked Ye Fei next to her: "Can the rebels rush into Jizhou and find shelter?" โ€

Ye Fei remembered the news he received this morning, and reported: "According to the news that the night does not receive it, after the rebels entered Jizhou, they ransacked a neighboring county town, killed 3,000 Jizhou soldiers stationed in the county seat, and then hid in the Yimeng deep mountains, which made the Jizhou soldiers and horses a little helpless for a while, and there was no way to take them. โ€

Xia Jing looked at the north and asked in the north wind: "I heard that Xiao Qi, the assassin of Jizhou, has two sons, among which Xiao Yuncheng, who is the second in line, is witty and resourceful, but is it really still a rumor?" โ€

Ye Fei: "The news is true. โ€

"Oh!" Xia Jing turned her head and pouted, "In this way, the rebels are a little sad in Jizhou, I just hope they will be smarter, don't be played around by this second son, and finally the group will be wiped out!" โ€

Ye Fei thought of receiving the news about the second son of Jizhou, and also mourned for the rebels in his heart, "I hope they don't let us down too much and can hold out for at least three months." โ€

Xia Jing frowned slightly, whether this can be done or not depends on luck.

"Did I ask the person Feng Tu was looking for to find it?"

Ye Fei scratched his nose: "I haven't made up enough for the time being, there are still five or six left." โ€

The Dayu Dynasty was founded for hundreds of years, the country was in decline, the artifact was not solid, the officialdom was corrupt, and selling lords and officials became a trend.

The reform of Yuzhou went smoothly, just because Yuzhou was taken from the rebels and returned to the jurisdiction of the imperial court, so how Xia Jing made them make drastic reforms, the opposition was almost minimal.

And Jizhou is different, Jizhou is still in the hands of Xiao Qi, the assassin of Jizhou, nominally Xiao Qi is still a local official appointed by the imperial court, and is in charge of the military and political power of Jizhou, the head of Kyushu.

Xia Jing wants to take back the management of Jizhou from him, which is a bit difficult.

Jizhou occupies the land of Yanzhao in the North China Plain, extending to the north of Yanshan, as well as the north of the Taihang Mountains, and south of the Yimeng Mountains.

With such a vast area occupying a large area of fertile land, it can be said that Jizhou is the main grain producing area in the north.

If the rebels were smarter, they would not have the possibility of starvation, and it can be said that when they arrived in Jizhou, they were like rats falling into a rice bowl, and whether they could eat enough depended on whether they were clever or not.

Xia Jing wrapped the cloak on her body a little tighter, and advised: "Let Feng Tu hurry up and gather the number of people, although I am in urgent need of talents, but I don't want to be overpowered, but don't let those who are not good in character not, you tell him about this." โ€

She didn't want to just support these people to enter the officialdom, and they would become moths digging into her corners, and scum who would loot Dayumin's fat and people's ointment.

"My subordinates have made a note of it." Ye Fei noticed that the corners of Xia Jing's mouth were already a little pale from the cold, so he said with concern: "Master, isn't it cold, it's windy here, let's go back to the tent first." โ€

Xia Jing nodded, standing at the tuyere and looking at the majesty, in fact, the cold wind blew into her bones, and she was almost frozen, and she couldn't stand it if she stayed any longer.

"Let's go, if you don't leave, your master will be freezing through, well, I don't know how long it will take for the weather to get warmer."

The heater in Xia Jing's hand was already cold, and she felt that the Xiaoice River period was really bad, there was no heating in winter and no air conditioning in summer.

That's not all, she also has to follow hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to fight in the south and north every day, and this day is really no better than the end of the world.

"Master, when are we going to cross the river? If we wait any longer, the weather will warm, and I am afraid that the ice on the river will not be solid. Ye Fei asked while escorting Xia Jing down the mountain.

Xia Jing sniffed, exhaled and said, "When Feng Tu has all the personnel, we will cross the river!" โ€
