Chapter 60: The Interesting Little River Village
The next day, the mayor's mansion.
Xiao Jing and a group of confidants and ministers gathered here to discuss the matter of sending troops to support.
"I have summoned you here today for one thing, and that is to support Shanwu City!"
Xiao Jing was the first to speak, breaking the silence of the scene.
Hearing this, the generals' faces showed excitement, and they couldn't help themselves.
Yesterday, Xiao Jing of Barren Mountain Village gave a generous reward, but they had heard of it, killing the enemy and remembering the merits, adding officials to reward the field, for a military general, the temptation of this is unimaginable.
Even, not only the generals, as soon as the news reached Daliu Town last night, even many soldiers under their command came over to ask them when there was a war.
It can be said that not long after Xiao Jing's set of 'rewards for meritorious deeds' came out, the soldiers of the entire barren mountain village and Daliu Town already knew about it, and everyone from top to bottom was eager for war.
Fame and fame can only be taken immediately, and only war can make them leap over the class!
Therefore, as soon as Xiao Jing's voice fell, a military general came out of the ranks, please fight:
"The lord, his subordinate Li San is willing to be the pioneer and clear the obstacles for the lord......"
"Subordinate Zhang Dalong asks for battle, just ......"
"Lord, subordinate Wang He......"
……
The generals are not to be left behind.
On the Wenchen side, he frowned, looking at the noisy and rude generals, secretly reckless!
And Zhou Cang, Cao Xing and the others looked at the noisy subordinates behind them, their faces were a little unbearable, their faces were slightly pale, and they coughed lightly to stop the noise of the generals.
Seeing that the military general was quiet, Wen Chen's side, the chief military advisor, Deng Ren took a step forward, and said solemnly:
"Back to the lord, the yellow scarf outside the city is a big disaster, and it should not be taken lightly!"
As he spoke, he recalled the information from the spies who had been planted in Shanna City, and spoke slowly.
"The Yellow Turban besieging Shanwu City has a large number of people, according to the spies, it has nearly 30,000 combatable soldiers, and the head of the Governor is named 'Pei Yuanshao', who is a seventh-order general, and there are several fifth-order leaders under him!"
"It's definitely not the Yellow Turban Miscellaneous Soldiers we met in the past, and it can't be ignored!"
30,000 yellow scarves?!!
Xiao Jing was also taken aback, frowned slightly, and asked:
"The Yellow Turban has stormed Shanwu City in recent days, what are the casualties?"
Regarding Xiao Jing's question, Deng Ren, who has always been concerned about the situation of goodness, already had a draft in his heart, and immediately replied:
"Lord Yu, under the strong attack for many days, the Yellow Turban has suffered heavy losses, and his subordinates estimate that its casualties may be nearly 10,000 ......"
As soon as the words changed, Deng Ren's tone was a little subtle:
"However, according to the understanding of his subordinates, the Yellow Turban has suffered heavy casualties, but Shanwu City is not much better, the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, and even civilians have been requisitioned to garrison the city recently!"
Xiao Jing nodded and said, "In other words, if you support Shanwu City, you have to deal with the yellow scarves that are close to 20,000?" ”
Deng Ren nodded, and seeing that Xiao Jing's expression was a little solemn, he said again:
"Don't panic, lord! Although the number of yellow turbans is high, under the siege of the city for many days, the morale has long been low, and the combat power is not as strong as imagined, and it is ......"
After a pause, Deng Ren had a smile on his face, pointed his finger at Shanwucheng, and said:
"Moreover, not long ago, Shanwucheng issued a 'requisition order' asking the major towns to support Shanwucheng, and now these reinforcements are gathering near Shanwucheng, but there is no commander......"
Xiao Jing's expression moved, and he said, "Deng Junshi's meaning is ......"
Deng Ren nodded, and said as a matter of course: "Looking at the entire Shanwu County, who else can be the commander of Daliu Town?" ”
Before Xiao Jing became the mayor of Da Liu Town, Xiaohezhuang was able to confront Da Liu Town, but now ...... The hundreds of terracotta warriors led by Li Ye alone made Xiaohezhuang anxious.
Yesterday, he even sent a messenger to beg Xiao Jing to let them go and stop occupying their grain fields!
It's just that Xiao Jing didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't even see the messenger of Xiaohezhuang.
Therefore, in Shanwu County, Daliu Town is currently unique in terms of prestige and strength, and one town is even stronger than the other seven towns combined.
"Winning the commander of the reinforcements, plus the corporals under the lord, although the number is still far inferior to the Yellow Turban, but the strength of the Yellow Turban is not to worry!"
After a pause, Deng Ren saw Xiao Jing's thoughtful expression, glanced at Niu Yang who was recuperating with his eyes closed, and continued to speak.
"Moreover, taking down the commander of the support army, the benefits are not limited to this, and you can even use this support army to control ......"
"Okay!!"
Before Deng Ren could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Jing.
He looked at Deng Ren deeply, and realized the strength of [Strategy] 88, and this strategy will kill the calculations of the towns.
Some of the dark parts of Deng Ren haven't even said it clearly, after all, having won the position of commander, under the strong military deterrence of Daliu Town, in the face of difficult battles, will there be less cannon fodder?
"Good! Deng Junshi's strategy won my heart! ”
Xiao Jing affirmed Deng Ren's plan, and then he glanced at the ministers and continued.
"Now that it has been decided, the next step is to reorganize the army and determine the candidates to send troops!"
"Niu Yang, you are responsible for sitting in Daliu Town, managing the logistics of the army, and providing the weapons and equipment, grain and grass, ordnance, etc. required by the army!"
"Subordinates obey!"
"Zhou Cang, you ......"
"Cao Xing ......"
……
After the meeting, Deng Mansion.
After the meeting, Deng Ren leisurely returned to his mansion in Daliu Town.
At this moment, outside the mansion, as he expected, the two messengers from Xiaohezhuang were waiting anxiously.
"Lord Deng!"
The two messengers, seeing Deng Ren, hurriedly rushed up, with a little flattery on their faces, and asked respectfully.
"Lord Deng, about the withdrawal of troops from your town?"
As he spoke, a messenger quietly gave Deng Ren a few taels of gold.
Feeling the weight of gold in his hand, Deng Ren's face suddenly looked a lot better, and he looked at the messenger with a stammering look.
He said lightly: "Enter the house!" ”
"Yes, yes!!"
The messenger wiped his sweat, nodded again and again, and followed Deng Ren into the mansion.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Deng Ren said: "The lord's side has been relieved after my intercession, but it's okay! ”
When the envoy heard this, he was first overjoyed, then shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Deng, but how?" ”
Deng Ren paused, glanced at the messenger, and said with deep meaning:
"The mayor agrees to withdraw the troops, but you need to propose 'support the generals under the lord as commanders' before the reinforcements from the towns!"
"This ......"
The two envoys glanced at each other, their faces showing embarrassment, but recalling that the grain fields had been encroached upon, the two gritted their teeth and said:
"I will make this matter clear to the owner of the village and support your town as the leader, but what are the grain fields in my Xiaohe Village that have been encroached upon by your town?"
Deng Ren showed displeasure and said coldly: "What Xiaohezhuang grain field? It's obviously the grain field that my Da Liu Zhen has worked so hard to recover from the Yellow Turban, don't make a mistake about yourself!! ”
"Drop-off !!"
In the end, Deng Ren's tone was full of coldness.
The two messengers looked at each other, and their faces were like bitter melons, all bitter......
After the envoy of Xiaohezhuang left, Deng Ren stroked his beard, and a smile appeared on his face......
