Chapter 69: Tucson's Stratagem
Things developed more smoothly than Song Qingshu expected, Qingchuan, Beichuan, and Jiangyou counties did not have any resistance, and as soon as the demon army arrived, they chose to surrender. Even the Sword Pavilion, which is known as a natural danger, also announced that it had changed hands in just one night under Zhou Yan's exquisite acting skills.
At Zhou Yan's suggestion, the 500 Bazhong garrison who arrived later was also tricked into the Sword Pavilion by Zhang Chong and captured in one fell swoop. Since then, the first offensive launched by the Yuan army against the demon army has completely collapsed.
Of course, the change of ownership of the three counties and the Sword Pavilion is far more than that. From a strategic point of view, Song Qingshu had initially established a defensive circle. Shuzhong is mountainous, and the borders of Qingchuan, Beichuan and Jiangyou counties are all lofty mountains. If the Yuan army wants to attack the three counties, it can only start from the Sword Pavilion. And the Sword Pavilion is a dangerous place in the world, as long as 5,000 soldiers and horses are stationed and strictly defended, even more than 100,000 people will not want to attack it. The safety of Pingwu County is guaranteed to the greatest extent.
From the perspective of development, Pingwu, Qingchuan, Beichuan, Jiangyou, and Jiange, although these five counties are somewhat dilapidated, they are the cause of the destruction of the Yuan army. Shuzhong has been the land of abundance since ancient times. These five counties are also fertile and have a pleasant climate. As long as you develop well, you can become the foundation of the king!
At the same time, the Demon Swinging Army annihilated the 5,000 Yuan Court Elite Cavalry, killed the general Buhua'er, and captured the Sword Pavilion, which also blew all over Shuzhong in an instant like a tornado.
"If you dare to kill my general, you really deserve death!" Obey my order and immediately send 20,000 troops to the Sword Pavilion to sweep away the rebels!" Abuha shouted angrily.
"My lord, slow down! This matter is very important, and you should think about it in the long run, and you must not raise troops out of anger!" Toussaint stepped forward and hurriedly persuaded.
"What else are you thinking about in the long run? The little rebel, I thought that the night would be peaceful, but who knew that I had completely annihilated 5,000 elite horsemen, killed Wuhua'er, and captured the Sword Pavilion, in a short period of time, I have achieved such a point, if I tolerate the traitor, then it will be repaid!" Abha said angrily.
Although it was angry, there was a hint of deep scruple in Abuha's tone, and it was obvious that what the Demon Sweeper had done had made Abha really pay attention to it.
"My lord, it is precisely because of this that he cannot act lightly! The subordinates read the military report, and the Pingwu rebels were defeated by setting up two ambushes in the same place. This battle is not incompetent, but the rebels are too cunning. With such a plan, it is not surprising that he will take the opportunity to attack the Sword Pavilion later.
But what his subordinates are worried about is that it will take ten days for the military horse express to spread from the place of the Sword Pavilion to this place. For such a long time, I am afraid that not only the Sword Pavilion, but also the three counties of Qingchuan, Beichuan, and Jiangyou have already fallen into the hands of the rebels.
As soon as these three counties are gone, the entire west of the Sword Pavilion will be owned by the rebels, and the rebels will no longer have to worry about the future at this time. As long as you concentrate on defending the Sword Pavilion, you can defend against the imperial army. The Sword Pavilion is a dangerous place in the world, as long as there are 5,000 men and horses stationed there, it is useless for 100,000 people to attack.
Even if the adults sent 20,000 troops, it would take nearly a month to get from here to the Sword Pavilion, and even if they arrived day and night, they would be sleepy and tired. When the Sword Pavilion rebels are waiting for work, how can the imperial army be an opponent?" said Tucsanne.
"This ......" Listening to Tucsang's analysis, Abha also calmed down, and couldn't help but hesitate a little, and sighed half-loudly, "Is it impossible to let the rebels go?" Seeing that the leader of the rebel army is also a wise man, if he does not nip it in the bud at this time. I'm afraid that there will be endless troubles. ”
"I can't let it go! It's just that between my subordinates, adults don't have to worry too much. Although the rebels defeated Buhua'er, they relied on trickery. It can be seen that its true strength is limited. And the land acquired is also a barren land, and it is not easy to develop in a short period of time.
The subordinates thought that the adults could still send 20,000 soldiers and horses to station outside the Sword Pavilion. But there is no need to attack, as long as you hold on to the rebels of the Sword Pavilion. In this way, the rebels' strength was confined to the west of the Sword Pavilion, and it was difficult to do anything. "Tucsan Road.
"What's the use of that, if the rebels grow stronger in the future, it's not about attacking the Sword Pavilion!" said Abha disapprovingly.
"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates have a plan to kill two birds with one stone, which can solve the Pingwu rebels, and solve another crisis for adults!" said Tucson confidently.
"Killing two birds with one stone, another crisis, what does this mean?" said Abha.
Tucson showed a hint of caution on his face and said, "My lord, out of the ten counties of Guangyuan, five counties have fallen into the hands of the Pingwu rebels. Once this matter spreads, it will inevitably cause a shock in Shuzhong. At this time, the world was in chaos, and anti-thieves were everywhere. This land in Shuzhong, thanks to the work of adults, has always been stable.
But I am afraid that those who are thieves will not die, once they learn about this, the thieves will be moved and will have rebellion. At that time, the intensity of the calamity will be comparable to this peaceful and military place?"
Abuha's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "So, what plan do you have?" ”
On the one hand, if there are thieves who raise troops, there are no strong people, they will be vulnerable. On the other hand, it can allow these people who have been trained into an army to attack the Sword Pavilion and alleviate the problem of insufficient soldiers and horses in the imperial court. "Tucson talks eloquently, quite like a lupine scarf.
Abuha's eyes lit up, and Da Lu smiled: "Wonderful, wonderful, really clever." In this way, it is really a clever plan to let these Han people consume each other! Let's do it in turn. ”
"Hehe, my lord has won the prize. Tucson laughed.
"By the way, what is the name of the rebel leader in the military newspaper?" Abha asked suddenly, frowning.
"Song Qingshu! It is said that he was born in the Wudang faction. Toussaint hurriedly replied.
"Song Qingshu, Wudang faction?" Abuha looked thoughtful, and suddenly said, "You say, if this general reports to the imperial court, let the imperial court go to the Wudang faction to ask about the crime? I heard that this Wudang faction is also considered a famous and decent family, if the Wudang faction threatens this Song Qingshu, it will definitely have some results." ”
Tucson was startled, a trace of inexplicable look flashed in his eyes, and he said: "My lord's plan is brilliant! Even if Song Qingshu doesn't care about Wudang, he can still be infamous for being disloyal, unfilial, and unkind." At that time, it will be pointed out by thousands of people, and it will be difficult to make a difference. It's just that the subordinates are a little worried about the adults. ”
Abuha was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Worry about me, what do I have to worry about." ”
"My lord, don't forget, the prime minister is still suppressing thieves outside Beijing. Nowadays, those people in most of the capital regard adults as thorns in their eyes and thorns in their flesh, and they always want to get rid of adults and hurry up. Before, they couldn't find an excuse, so they couldn't do anything about it, but now if the adults report this matter, wouldn't they be giving them the truth?
Isn't the virtue of those people still unclear to the adults? I'm afraid that the first thing they thought about was not the overall situation of the imperial court and the extermination of the rebels, but how to use this matter to pull the adults off their horses, so that they could cut off the prime minister's arm. Tucson whispered.
"Hmph! These thieves only know about flies and dogs all day long, and ignore the affairs of the imperial court! Sooner or later, I will kill them and return them to the court!
