Chapter 994: 'Big Surprise'
Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles!
For his enemies, Lin Ze will not underestimate them.
Regardless of whether this enemy is an elite army, or composed of sand thieves or rioters, Lin Ze will not underestimate it and will take it very seriously.
For war, you can only win if you take it seriously.
Lin Ze thought so, and at the same time, he did so.
Historically, there have been countless examples of defeats caused by underestimating the enemy, the most famous of which is the modern war of unification.
At the beginning of the decisive battle, who would have thought that the transport brigade that persuaded the Mi-style armed forces would be so easily defeated by the civilian army that was only millet plus rifles, and the millions of troops would be wiped out in less than four years.
Believing in such an ending, even the captain of the transport brigade couldn't believe it, in his mind, how could the army under his command be so strong that it could withstand the army composed of those civilians.
However, reality directly slapped him in the face, and in less than four years, the millions of troops in his hands were simply wiped out, and he himself, as well as the remaining remnants of the army, were also defeated on the island.
With these examples, where would Lin Ze underestimate those rebels in Qingzhou.
The power of the people is the most powerful, and anyone who underestimates his power will eventually be swallowed up.
"Ping'er, there are some little thieves who have the idea of beating us, you stay in the carriage honestly, don't worry, young master, I will destroy these little thieves." Before those Qingzhou rebels were killed, Lin Ze came to Ping'er's carriage to comfort her, so as not to worry and be afraid in Ping'er's heart when the fight started.
"Well, young master, don't worry, Ping'er knows. Ping'er said obediently.
Maybe before she was twelve years old, when she was still a daughter, when she encountered such a thing, Ping'er would be flustered in her heart.
However, after experiencing the destruction of her family and the wandering life of three or four thousand miles, Ping'er's heart is strong enough that even if she faces war, she will not panic in her heart.
"Well, after eliminating the bandits this time, we can go home. Lin Ze said.
"Well, go home!" Ping'er's eyes were full of yearning.
For her, Huangsha Town is her real home, so after hearing Lin Ze say to go home, Ping'er's heart was a little anxious.
"Young master, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, you have to be careful yourself. Ping'er admonished with a worried face.
Although she is very confident in Lin Ze's combat effectiveness, however, what happens on the battlefield, who says it well, if she is not careful, even if she is a strong person in the congenital stage, she will fall into the road, so Ping'er is actually very worried about Lin Ze's safety in her heart.
It's just that in order not to let Lin Ze know, her face was not revealed.
"Well, don't worry, the young master will pay attention to his own safety, don't worry!" Lin Ze said with a smile.
With the protection of the Plane Seed, Lin Ze believed that no one had been able to hurt himself on the battlefield, let alone kill himself.
"Young master, the army is ready for battle. At this time, Lin Hu came to Lin Ze's side to report.
"Well, that's good, give the order to go down, always be ready, and once I give the order, launch an attack immediately!" Lin Ze said to Lin Hu.
"Yes, young master!" Lin Hu took the order and quickly went down to convey the order.
"Huh......" Suddenly, Lin Ze seemed to feel a slight vibration on the ground.
Yu Huai beside him also felt it, he immediately dismounted, the whole person fell to the ground, put his ears on the ground, and after a while, he raised his head and said to Lin Ze: "Young master, the enemy is coming......"
With Yu Huai's voice, gradually, there was a slight but continuous sound of horses' hooves galloping in Lin Ze's ears, and the sound went from small to loud and from low to high.
Soon, above the horizon, something like a sandstorm appeared, pressing down on them.
At this time, even those who are not familiar with military affairs can tell that a team of horses is rapidly approaching them.
Tie Ying on the side stood up, looked at it carefully, listened carefully for a while, his face changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "My lord, it's not good, this army is definitely not an ordinary horse thief, but an army, and the number is huge. ”
The two brothers, Xu Qiang and Xu Sheng, showed surprise on their faces at the same time at this time, glanced at each other, and then Xu Qiang asked: "General Tie, your experience is much stronger than ours, according to your opinion, which army is this? Or is it the enemy?"
After hearing this, Tie Ying carefully thought about the information of the armies of several nearby cities in his mind, and then said with an even more ugly face: "The area here on the sandbar is vast, and there are many nearby cities, but there are not many troops with this strength in the sandbar, there are only five of them here in the sandbank, but I don't know which of them they are." ”
"How is the strength of these armies compared to the Black Wind Thieves?" Xu Sheng asked.
"Probably in between. Tie Ying said with a hint of hesitation on his face.
Then he thought for a while, and then explained: "However, the army of the sandbank has not been able to exterminate the Black Wind Thieves, maybe the strength of the Black Wind Thieves is stronger, otherwise, where will it be our turn to destroy those Black Wind Thieves." ”
"That's right. Everyone agreed.
"You didn't think that these people would be rebels in Qingzhou?" At this time, Lin Ze spoke.
The enemy is the rebels in Qingzhou, Lin Ze did not tell Xu Qiang about it.
It's not that Lin Ze wants to keep it secret, but that Lin Ze wants to exercise Xu Qiang's ability.
In the future, as the number of troops under Lin Ze increases, Xu Qiang's henchmen will definitely be responsible for more troops, which requires them to have strong military command ability, so now Lin Ze needs to cultivate Xu Qiang's military command ability.
And the best place to cultivate is the battlefield of actual combat.
Just like this time in the face of the rebel attack in Qingzhou, Lin Ze did not tell them the details in advance, but asked them to judge the identity of the enemy based on the surrounding intelligence.
However, now it seems that Tie Ying and these people are still much worse.
Lin Ze didn't try to be disappointed, after all, Tie Ying and Xu Qiang had just become officers, and the time was less than half a year, and in such a short period of time, it was very unrealistic for them to grow into a qualified military commander.
And, this time, they had at least taken into account the fact that these enemies were the army of the sandbank, and not directly assumed that these enemies were bandits.
That is, they were also aware of the fact that the governor of the sandbar did not welcome them, and such growth was enough.
"Hiss ......."
"Uh......" Tie Ying, Xu Qiang and the others were immediately stunned when they heard Lin Ze's words.
Two seconds later, Tie Yingcai said with a sudden expression: "This makes sense, I was just thinking, even if the governor of Shazhou welcomes us, how can our lord be the deputy governor of the emperor's Qin, the general of the Western Regions, or a concubine, the governor of Shazhou will send troops to attack us when his brain is in water, and now as soon as the adult talks about the rebels in Qingzhou, then everything will be clear." ”
"Yes, I also understand, this is the governor of Shazhou borrowing a knife to kill people!" Xu Qiang also said with a sudden face.
"Your Excellency is wise!" The next moment, Xu Qiang and the others said with admiration.
"Remember, consider things more comprehensively, don't think that the governor of Shazhou is an official-faced figure, and the rebels in Qingzhou are enemies, just think that the two will not collude together, if you think like this, you won't know how you will die in the end. For many people, there are only interests in their hearts, and other things can be put aside.
It's like our Governor, he knows very well the blow to his rights after I return to Sandbank, so in order to continue to be the Emperor of the Soil of his Sandbank, he will definitely try his best to deal with me, preferably killing me on the way.
And the rebels in Qingzhou will also be afraid of us because of our previous exploits in eliminating 500,000 sand thieves, and they want to kill me 100% in their hearts to eliminate future troubles, so both can be said to be my enemies, in this case, what is strange about the Governor and the rebels in Qingzhou uniting together?" Lin Ze began to explain in detail.
"Well, that's true. Xu Qiang's face was stunned.
"It seems that our Lord Governor is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. Tie Ying also shook his head and said.
"Isn't our governor afraid of luring wolves into the house, what if these rebels from Qingzhou don't leave?" Yu Huai asked on the side.
"Hehe, we are a sandbar here, food is scarce, when the time comes, our governor only needs to come to a strong wall to clear the wilderness and block the supply of grain and grass for the rebels in Qingzhou, and in less than ten days, the rebels in Qingzhou will be defeated, so ........" Tie Ying shrugged and said.
Compared with Qingzhou, the sandbar is too barren, and there is an extreme shortage of food here, as long as the grain route is blocked, no matter how powerful the army is, it will collapse.
"Tie Ying is right, dealing with the rebels in Qingzhou is actually very simple, that is, the strong wall is clear, but this time I am not going to do this. Your Excellency the Governor has made a move, and I, the newly appointed Lieutenant Governor, will have to take it. This time we are going to eliminate these rebels in Qingzhou and give our governor a big 'surprise', what do you say?" Lin Ze said with a smile.
Since the officialdom of Shazhou does not welcome him and wants to get rid of himself secretly, then he will show his strength and let them know that they are garbage to themselves.
This time, I will use the elimination of these rebels in Qingzhou to kill chickens and monkeys, I believe that with such a chicken, those monkeys in the Shazhou officialdom will never dare to provoke themselves in the future, because the bloody facts tell them that if they really want to destroy them, it is as simple as eating.
