Chapter 57: The Great Gift of Ding Zhi County

Ghost Li rolled on the ground, jumped up and was about to continue fighting, but Qin Ming did not take the opportunity to pounce, but sighed and said:

"You are also a good man, I will not take advantage of you, and I will fight after you change horses tomorrow."

After saying that, Qin Ming turned around and led the team to withdraw to the barracks, only to hear Ghost Li laughing in the rear, and the sound came from afar.

"Haha......"

"That's it!"

"You're also a good man!"

"For the sake of not taking advantage of the danger of others, when you capture you in the future, I will not kill you!"

Regarding Ghost Li's wild words, Qin Ming snorted coldly and ignored it.

The two sides did not win or lose, and each team closed and returned to the camp, which seemed to be evenly divided, but in fact, the morale of Yushan had greatly declined.

Yushan's morale is basically based on the victory in the past battles with the official army, as well as the invincible personal confidence of the owner of the big village, Li Gui.

Especially Li Gui, the owner of the cottage village, can be called the reincarnation of the overlord, the force is unparalleled, and the enemy has never been able to withstand the attack of Li Gui, that is, the immortal family who will use the palm thunder that day, but he only slightly won one move, and was hacked to death by Li Gui with an axe.

The image of Li Guitian Killing Star was also molded as a result, and in the hearts of all the cottage brothers, it was like a god descending to earth.

But now, this image of invincibility has been shattered.

Although Ghost Li was not defeated, he did not win, and even the leg of the war horse was broken, strictly speaking, it was slightly inferior to the generals of the official army.

They didn't know that Ghost Li was a hanger, and the more they fought, the stronger they became, they only knew that the enemy general returned to the barracks alive.

But there is only one Li Ghost in Yushan, but the Song Army has dozens of generals, if you really count it, I'm afraid that the situation is not good!

At some point, some gossip spread in the cottage, and it spread more and more, and soon everyone knew about it, and only hid it from the leaders.

However, it was said that Qin Ming collected his troops and returned to the camp, and ordered to bury the pot and make rice, so that the soldiers could rest and prepare to attack the village tomorrow.

He was assigning night patrols and other matters when he suddenly heard a report from the guards that Ding Enlu, the magistrate of Yishui County, had arrived in front of the camp to transport grain and grass materials.

Qin Ming was taken aback, hurriedly stopped the military discussion, and led the generals out to greet him.

Although the two are not subordinate to each other, in the face of any civil official, the military general must be carefully served, otherwise he may be put in small shoes at any time.

When he was in Qingzhou, Qin Ming exterminated the bandits many times, and knew that most of these bandits were forced to rebel by local officials, and they were not civil officials who met strange once or twice.

The reason why he didn't go through Yishui County and led his troops directly to the foot of Yushan was because he was afraid that these civil officials would come up with some moths.

Originally, he made up his mind that this battle would be resolved quickly, and he would retreat immediately after quickly exterminating the bandits.

If it was an ordinary bandit, he would be broken by him for a while, and it would be over before the local magistrate could appear.

Who knew that when he encountered such a freak as Ghost Li, he was stunned to kill him without a win, ruining his great plan.

Before arriving at the camp gate, I saw a middle-aged scribe standing on top of the carriage, with a clear appearance, a white face and no beard, wearing a black veil on his head, wearing an official robe, official boots under his feet, and a group of followers behind him, so he knew that this was Ding Zhi County.

Qin Ming hurriedly walked a few steps quickly, greeted the general, and from a distance, he clenched his fists and bent down.

"The last general, Qin Ming, the unknown county has arrived, and he has never greeted him from afar, and he asks the county to forgive his sins!"

"Haha...... Qin Tongzhi was polite. It was because the county came in a hurry, and it was not notified in advance, as long as it did not disturb Qin's plan to control and suppress bandits. ”

Ding Zhixian was smiling, and he didn't have the arrogance of Wenchen at all.

On weekdays, he is not so easy to speak, but he is still counting on Qin Ming to take down Yushan in the future and make some merits in it after retrieving the Birth Gang, so his attitude is very polite.

As long as it involves the issue of official hats, Ding Zhixian has always been easy to talk about, and he can do it himself, not to mention Corporal Lixian.

Qin Ming hurriedly laughed and said, "Where did the county lord come from!" ”

"This time, the last general and the commander army came, and they didn't dare to harass the place, because they didn't inform it, where is the county respect?"

"The county respects the army in person, bringing countless grains and grass equipment, providing convenience for tomorrow's attack on the village, we are all grateful in our hearts, where will there be a disturbance?"

Ding Zhixian is waiting for this sentence, as long as Qin Ming is willing to recognize this merit, he can take the opportunity to intervene in the future and share a piece of credit, maybe it will still be a big piece.

"Haha......" he smiled and waved his hand, his eyes narrowed into a slit, "Qin Commander is too polite. It is the duty of the county to come here to fight and provide logistical baggage for the army, and it is not worth mentioning. ”

Although Qin Ming has also been in the officialdom for several years, he is still a big old man, how can he be compared with civil officials like Ding Zhixian by playing power politics, he still doesn't know the purpose of Ding Zhixian, and he just laughs stupidly on the side.

After saluting each other, Qin Ming ordered the main gate of the military camp to be opened and welcomed Ding Zhixian and his party in.

Qin Ming led the way first, and cautiously accompanied Ding Zhixian to the direction of the Houying tent, and his own deputy general went to count the grain and grass materials.

After arriving at the big tent, Qin Ming asked Ding Zhixian to sit down, expressed his gratitude, and after saying some officialdom clichΓ©s, Ding Zhixian suggested again:

"I don't know how the Qin Command plans to attack the village tomorrow?"

Qin Ming didn't know Ding Zhixian's intentions, but he never doubted him, since he had to ask, he replied honestly:

"So that the county will know that this cottage will be carefully seen, although it is built solidly, it is not tall, and there is no need for a ladder, and ordinary ladders can be climbed."

"The last general has ordered people to build a long ladder, and overnight, hundreds can be obtained."

"At the end of tomorrow, I will personally supervise the battle, besiege from all sides of the cottage, just seize any wall, you can open the door from the inside, and then the horse army will line up in the open place to storm the village, which can become a trampling momentum, and no one can stop it."

"In three days at most, the village can be broken."

After Ding Zhixian heard this, he laughed and said, "Don't be so troublesome for the Qin system, and wait for the county to give the Qin system a big gift." ”

Qin Ming was taken aback when he heard this, and asked worriedly, "I don't know what the gift is?" ”

Ding Zhixian triumphantly authentic:

"This county knows that this Yushan thief has enough food and is difficult to break, so he secretly buried his work in it."

"There will definitely be a fire on Yushan tonight, and someone will secretly open the front gate of the cottage for the imperial army, and the Qin commander only needs to rush into it with the commandery."

When Qin Ming heard this, he secretly complained in his heart, and hesitated:

"County Zun, but I don't know what kind of person this fine work is, maybe you can believe it?"

"What if it's a trap?"

Ding Zhixian raised his eyebrows and said: "Qin is in charge, but please rest assured, those meticulous families are in the hands of this county, how dare they betray the imperial court again?" ”

Qin Ming shook his head and persuaded bitterly:

"But what if they don't keep things secret, the news leaks, and they are tortured by thieves for information?"

"Now that our army has the upper hand, there is no need to take such risks!"

Ding Zhixian is to make more meritorious contributions, how can he give up easily, even if his face changes, he scolded:

"Qin's command is wrong!"

"Historically, it has been convenient to suffer losses in attacking cities, and losses have always been not small."

"Let me ask you, if you attack the village according to the law of Qin's control, how many soldiers will be damaged?"

Qin Ming carefully recalled Ghost Li's strong force, as well as the neat queue of soldiers behind Ghost Li before, and made a rough estimate for a while before replying:

"If you have a few, you can get three or five hundred, and if you have a thousand, you have to do it."

Ding Zhixian suddenly got the key point, and said righteously:

"The soldier's life is not guilty, just to seize a city gate, he will use his flesh and blood to collide with the sword."

"If there is nothing to do, it will be fine, but now there is a great opportunity in front of us, with only two or three careful efforts, you can easily open the gate of the village and save the lives of thousands of soldiers."

"What is Qin still hesitating about?"

Ding Zhixian changed his amiable tone and was domineering, which immediately made Qin Ming's heart burn with anger, and he almost wanted to jump up and punch this guy to death.

But just looking at the black veil on Ding Zhixian's head, the fire in Qin Ming's heart immediately seemed to be extinguished by ice water, and he came to his senses.

He took a deep breath, forced himself to hold back his impulses, and reluctantly explained:

"The county respects nothing, and the city is captured head-on, although the loss is quite large, but there is no need to worry about future troubles, and there is no need to worry about encountering ambushes."

"If this kind of stealing the city, for the sake of the soldiers, you must march quickly, once you are ambushed, the soldiers will panic and be demoralized, if you don't deal with it properly, it is very likely to trample on each other, and it will be the end of the whole army."

Ding Zhixian was suddenly furious, glared at him, and scolded:

"If you are ambushed, you can let the generals command the enemy, and if you say that the soldiers are panicked, it is clear that the training is short on weekdays!"

"If the morale is low, then a lot of gold and silver will be scattered, are you still afraid that the soldiers will not use their lives?"

"Or are you deducting all the rewards for the soldiers?"

"There are generals in the department, there are generals in the team, and there are also Oshi Zheng and the army commander below, if you work together, you can't command the army under you, so what's the use of your group of generals?"

The more Ding Zhixian scolded, the more ruthless he became, and gradually became more and more punishable, only to be so frightened that Qin Ming broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to fight back, so he honestly agreed.
