Chapter 158: Fighting Schemes
At first, the drunken man was still grinning, but slowly he couldn't laugh anymore.
When he heard "attack and defend, make decisions, and make decisions", he smiled bitterly, moved back two steps, and sat down at the base of the wall again.
"What, aren't you interested in gambling?"
"I'm not interested......," the drunkard shook his head, yawned lazily, and muttered, "Although the silver of the white flowers is good, I, a mortal who is drunk and dreams of death, can only look at it, but I can't get it, and I don't want to take this kind of silver." ”
Xiao Qianli simply squatted down opposite him regardless of his image, and said with a smile: "A wooden card is exchanged for a hundred taels of silver, you do this business!"
"If you want it, you can take it, and I don't want any silver!"
The drunkard actually took out the wooden plaque that he had regarded as a treasure a moment ago from his arms, and threw it to Xiao Qianli like garbage.
Just a quick glance, now the wooden card is already in Xiao Qianli's hand, groping for the engraved lines on it, Xiao Qianli quickly recognized it - exactly the same as Li Chengyuan's waist card, but it is not written on it like Li Chengyuan's name, but a small long sword and a book-like pattern are drawn.
Xiao Qianli was more sure of his judgment, and asked tentatively, "Really?"
"I really don't!" the drunken man waved his hand impatiently, simply lay down at the base of the wall, and waved his hand impatiently, "Lao Tzu still wants to sleep, don't bother me!"
"Okay!" Xiao Qianli stood up helplessly and sighed, "Pity those Tayan riders who died on the battlefield of Hetao......"
"Riding a swallow?" the drunkard's body moved, but instead closed his eyes tightly.
"Let's go!" Xiao Qianli turned his head to Cheng Jun and instructed, "Go back and tell your third senior brother, just say that when he has time to go down the mountain to recognize people, see if it is the culprit who caused the entire defenders of Zhenbei to be wiped out in the Battle of Hetao!"
Cheng Jun said yes and turned around to leave, but the drunk suddenly jumped up and shouted, "What did you say?"
"I've already made it very clear, I don't want to repeat it a second time!" Xiao Qianli's voice turned cold, and he commanded, "Xiaojun, you say it again." ”
"Oh!" Cheng Jun said honestly, "Master said, let me go back and tell the third senior brother, so that he can have time to go down the mountain to recognize people and see ......"
"Wait!" The drunkard waved his hand and interrupted Cheng Jun's words, "Who is your third senior brother?"
Cheng Jun scratched his head and replied with some hesitation: "His name is Li Chengyuan, and he is also from the Zhenbei Army......"
Lee Seung-yeon...... The commander of the garrison of Zhenbei Hetao and the scout of the west road of Tayan ...... "The drunkard couldn't help but feel like he had been struck by lightning, and muttered: "...... Could it be that there are still living people in the Battle of the Loop?"
"Who said there are no living people?" Xiao Qianli said lightly, "Didn't you also survive?"
The drunken muttered, "yes, I survived...... But ......"
He suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashed, where was he still a little drunk?
Xiao Qianli smiled slightly, and said slowly: "This seat is the head of the Kunlun Jade Void Pure Yang Palace, Xiao Qianli!"
The drunkard sneered: "Daomen's martial arts sect, what's my business?"
"Originally, you didn't care about the affairs of this seat, but the three disciples of this seat were passed down by themselves, and your name was on their lips all the time, even if they didn't want to hear it. ”
"As for you, the hidden appearance - Song Shujian! It's really better to be famous than to meet, a thousand dragon martial troops and a thousand Changsheng troops were all killed in battle, and they were reduced to relying on fifty Tayan scouts to cut off for you?"
Xiao Qianli's words deeply stimulated the drunkard, his body trembled, leaned against the wall weakly, and covered his face tightly with his hands.
In the Zhenbei Army, the first strong soldier of Dayan, there used to be such a special existence.
He has no title, no official position, and even his name is not on the roster of the Zhenbei Army at all, but he is extremely arrogant, and he is even more arrogant than a powerful minister. When he was in a good mood, he slipped to the barracks by himself, drank tea and bragged with Erlang's legs crossed, and the border generals who held the military power seal had to drink tea and brag together, and they didn't even dare to say a heavy word......
And when he was in a bad mood, he dared to pull the collar of the general of the Zhenbei Army and forced him to issue one unbelievable order after another, so that the scouts of the hundred battles who carried out the orders were stunned, thinking that this bastard with the bad name of "slut" wanted to let his brothers die in vain.
For example, Li Chengyuan has loudly disobeyed orders more than once, claiming that he dare not accept his life. was in a hurry, and he was about to do it when he blew his beard and glared, but he was picked up and beaten by the other party.
For example, 500 cavalry were sent to storm the heavily guarded grain and grass land of the Hu people outside the Saiwai;
For example, 2,000 people are facing the opponent's 5,000 elite soldiers, and the number of troops is more than doubled, and they even dare to divide their troops into seven routes;
For example, he forced 800 soldiers to swim across the windy and turbulent Jinshui River late at night to sneak attack an inconspicuous Hu garrison......
However, these orders, which were completely contrary to military common sense, received incomparably brilliant results.
The 500 light cavalry burned the grain and grass with rockets, the 7-way division of troops defeated the opponent's 5,000 men and horses, and the inconspicuous little garrison turned out to be the core of the enemy's hoarding of baggage.
This person's name is Song Shujian, known as the "hidden appearance" of the Zhenbei Army, when Li Chengyuan boasted about the past of the Zhenbei Army, every beautiful victory inevitably mentioned this name, and after a long time, Xiao Qianli also secretly wrote it down.
The battle of Hetao was the biggest and only defeat in Song Shujian's life, two thousand Zhenbei elites were ambushed and the whole army was annihilated, and the nearby Tayan cavalry assembled under the command of Li Chengyuan, desperately rescued Song Shujian who was under siege, and fifty elite Tayan cavalry, only Li Chengyuan survived.
He muttered after a while: "Li Chengyuan...... ......Is he alive too? I must be blamed for bringing the brothers to a dead end......"
"Let's talk about it!" Xiao Qianli looked at Song Shujian with interest, "In Cheng Yuan's mouth, you know astronomy and geography, and your martial arts are extraordinary, and you are almost omnipotent. How could they have fallen for such a superficial trick to lure the enemy?"
Song Shujian shook his head weakly, and said with a miserable smile: "What kind of trick to lure the enemy? ”
"What about the traitors?"
"I killed ......"
"Since you killed it, why don't you return to the Zhenbei Army?
"Who said I didn't want to go back to the Zhenbei Army?" Song Shujian Huo Ran raised his head, with a hint of resentment in his eyes, "Both of my parents died in the hunting ground, and my lifelong wish is to eliminate the Tartars. ”
"After the defeat of the Hetao, the brothers fought to the death to protect me from the escape, and I wanted to gather the remnants of the army, regain my strength, and then slowly try to do it. Who would have thought that the imperial court would put the responsibility for the defeat on my head, but fortunately, there was a general in the court to guarantee me, so I picked up a life......"
Song Shujian smiled bitterly, returned to the corner and lay down, waved his hand: "You go, now as soon as I close my eyes, I can see those brothers who get along day and night, they fall down one by one in front of me, I only hate me for studying art for thirty years, but I can't protect the country at the top, and I can't strategize at the bottom." I have no shame to say goodbye to Cheng Yuan, and I have no shame to say goodbye to my brothers underground......"
Xiao Qianli nodded and sighed: "Well, since your heart is dead, you don't have to force it......
Song Shujian sneered: "Xiao Zhangjiao, there is no need to get an axe anymore in the class to stimulate the method, when I use the radical strategy, you still don't know where it is." You provoked me three times in a row, and now you want to capture me again, just want me to go out of the mountain to help you do things, for Chengyuan's sake, I don't embarrass you, let's go quickly!"
His words were extremely polite, but Xiao Qianli couldn't help laughing.
"Come and help me, this gate is about to go east, but Kunlun is facing two foreign enemies, Baihuo and Mani, if you are in charge, I can leave with confidence." ”
"If you don't want to do things, just hang up a false position in the Chunyang Palace, the position of the elder and the guest secretary is up to you, and someone will worship you every day, which is better than you eating here and waiting for death. ”
"If you can't be idle, go and teach the disciples of a sect, read and hyphenation, form hexagrams, and don't bury your talent. ”
Song Shujian looked impatient, so he simply turned over, covering his ears and not wanting to listen anymore.
"If I give you 100,000 taels of silver, let you recruit troops and horses, and this army will be under your command......"
Song Shujian's body moved, Xiao Qianli didn't see it, and continued to babble: "One hundred thousand taels is enough for you to arm a cavalry of thousands of people, and in addition, you can choose any caravan from the five counties in the northwest to serve as your military salary, grain and grass......"
Song Shujian finally couldn't listen to it, turned over and sat up, and shouted angrily: "Fuck the shit!"
Xiao Qianli didn't see it, but said with a smile: "What did I say wrong?"
"The northwest is located on a plateau, and there are very few horses, so how can an elite cavalry be trained and armed without two hundred taels of silver? What can one hundred thousand taels of silver do? What can a few hundred cavalry do? Can a guerrilla harassment war be fought?"
"A cavalryman wants so much silver?" Xiao Qianli's eyes widened.
"Nonsense!" Song Shujian was simply angry, blowing his beard and glaring, "Do you think our elite cavalry can be compared with those lightly armed horsemen?
"What if you were given 500,000 taels?"
"Hmm......" Song Shujian's expression was slightly gentle, he thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Save a little, but you can barely make up two or three thousand cavalry that can be used." It's just that you can't blindly train light and heavy elite cavalry, and the corresponding spearmen, archers, swords and shields must also occupy the corresponding proportions. ”
"Sword and shield?" Xiao Qianli turned his head and shouted, "Xiaojun, give your sword and shield to this Mr. Song!"
There was a "boom", but it was Cheng Jun who slammed the Dragon Swallowing Shield and Qiuli Knife into the ground in front of Song Shujian, Song Shujian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he touched the sword and shield and praised it again and again.
"It's good, but it can't be applied on a large scale!" Song Shujian shook his head again and sighed, "Your apprentice is naturally amazingly powerful, but ordinary people can't use such a heavy sword and shield. ”
"Then it's decided!" Xiao Qianli nodded and said, "I'll give you 500,000 taels first, and you can recruit troops and horses in the five northwestern counties, and bring them all to the foot of the Yuxu Peak in Kunlun Mountain, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, and you can train your troops." In addition, there is a shortage of manpower in this sect, and you need to open up your own trade routes for the caravan. But you don't have to worry, now Jiuquan and Wuwei counties have industries, and Dunhuang and Heyuan counties, as long as you play the signboard of Chunyang Palace, it will naturally be unimpeded all the way. ”
"Open up trade routes?" Song Shujian sneered, "I don't inquire, I, Song Shujian, am clothed, and what did I rely on to become a guest of honor in the Zhenbei Army......
"That's very good!" Xiao Qianli took out a large stack of silver tickets from his arms, and stuffed them into Song Shujian's hand without looking at them, "Mr. Song, this matter will be handed over to you!"
Song Shujian agreed, turned over and got up, just took the silver ticket, suddenly his body stiffened, his face showed a look of crying but not crying, and sighed: "Xiao Zhangjiao, I fell for your plan!"
"What's the plan?" Xiao Qianli pretended not to know, but he almost laughed out loud in his heart.
"What a trick to push the boat, I actually fell for your plan so simply-"
"No, you're wrong!" Xiao Qianli said, "This plan is called 'Fishing in Troubled Waters', first confusing your judgment with words, and touching your big fish by the way!"
Song Shujian opened his mouth, smiled bitterly and gave a deep salute, and said loudly: "I've seen the master!"
