Chapter 612 Chapter 612: Ping Sibao County (Fourteen) [Please vote]
“What?”
“So fast?”
Although I am mentally prepared, but Hearing this with his own ears, Qiu Cheng was still surprised, and Qiu Cheng even tightened his grip on the handrails to cover up his true emotions. Xun Ding followed closely and dropped another thunder: "If there is no accident, Shen Tang will not only lead his troops to come in person..."
He deliberately whetted everyone's appetite.
Take your time and spit out the rest of your words.
"...He is still a vanguard general!"
I have never seen such a diligent lord.
A scribe remembered the details that Xun Ding had previously dictated and said with some doubts: "Pioneering General? But didn't you just say that you encountered the vanguard camp under Shen Thief's tent and fought hard to lead the troops? Escape? Could it be that you met Shen Thief?"
This question may not sound wrong at first, but Xun Ding has been dependent on his father since he was a child, and he has all the heart and mind he should have. . Naturally, he could hear the accusation behind the scribe's words - since Thief Shen is here, why not kill him?
It is not unreasonable for the scribes to think so.
The vanguard battalion is generally under-strength, and more than 400 heavy-shield warriors have been sacrificed anyway, and the loss is irreparable. Why didn't Xun Ding just sacrifice all the rest and take the opportunity to drag Shen Tang, the leader of the thieves, to death? Wouldn't that be better?
I think there is a chance.
Xun Ding did not do this.
Xun Ding sneered: "Yes, it is precisely because Shen Tang is the general of the Pioneer Battalion that Xun Mou suffered such a big loss. Have you forgotten, or do you not know, that Shen Tang was the one four years ago? How can Xun be able to compete with Gong Xiqiu in front of the battle? "
As long as there is another person in the vanguard camp, he may not suffer a loss.
Xun Ding is confident in his own strength.
Everyone: "..."
They all heard about it, no one saw that scene with their own eyes. In addition, Shen Tang has become too Buddhist in recent years, and he seems to be an honest man who only knows how to farm. The old farmer is so low-key that no such person can be found... If you come and go again, you will inevitably feel that it is difficult to live up to the fame.
For a time, people's hearts were floating.
Until a loud shout interrupted everyone's thoughts.
"What are you afraid of? All of them are really cowards, and they don't look like real men! This battle has not even started yet, and you are already feeling timid? If you had known this, why did you do it in the first place? You should have done it early Tighten your tail and give it out of town You can do it with three bows and nine kowtows! Wasn't it true that you were defeated by Gong Xiqiu back then? Now that Gong Xiqiu is in our hands, are you still worried about being able to take this son's head?"
Qiu Cheng holds it? The hand on the armrest loosened slightly.
Yes, he also has Gong Xiqiu’s trump card.
So far, unless the employer maliciously defaults on the money, Gong Xiqiu will fulfill the contract agreement until the end. Even though there were widespread rumors that this guy had a bad reputation and only recognized money but not people, Qiu Cheng felt that he would feel more at ease with such a person.
Qiu Cheng had his own ambitions and was not satisfied with the small Sibao County. He had long wanted to expand. Hearing that Gong Xiqiu Fu was idle at home, he paid a lot of money and came to hire a general. Having such a ferocious god of war sitting in charge was nothing less than a reassurance.
Xun Ding wanted to roll his eyes after hearing this.
Gong Xiqiu has become more and more popular in recent years.
Whatever you do must be specified in the deed.
You can do as many things as you want.
He is in Xiaocheng's office at the moment. It is impossible and will not come to Shan County. If he wants Gongxi Qiu to be effective, he must wait for Shen Tang to lead his troops to Xiaocheng. But you said - you were beaten to your hometown, but in the end you still relied on paid foreign aid to beat them back, what's there to be arrogant about? Instead of thinking about these, it is better to think about how to fight the next battle.
Without the supply of food and grass, we lost our heavy shield warriors...
This Linshan County is not easy to defend.
Xun Ding was thinking about how to break the situation.
Sitting down in the corner, he looked at his nose, his nose and his mouth, and his mouth and his heart. He remained unmoved despite the noise in the conference room, which was comparable to a market. I also heard a young and energetic warrior claiming that Shen Tang was not that scary and that he had a false reputation, and that he was willing to issue a military order to remove his head for Qiu Cheng. Xun Ding was so amused that he almost laughed out loud. True - the ignorant are fearless.
After a while, he noticed someone's eyes falling on him, so he looked over and met a pair of sinister eyes. The owner of the eyes was a good-looking woman with light makeup. Xun was determined to know her identity in a moment. Rumor has it that it is the canary that Qiu Cheng loves very much.
Xun Ding was noncommittal about this.
Whose canary doesn’t grow bright and beautiful?
The "canary" in front of me can't see any happiness.
He had not been dealing with Qiu Cheng for a long time, but Gong Xiqiu's fellow had said that Qiu Wenyan had the same personality as many aristocratic families, with a thief's heart, courage, and a gluttonous stomach, but he lacked a bit of self-knowledge and a man's responsibility. This kind of People are used to getting into trouble.
The so-called canary is afraid of knowing whether it is warm or cold.
His ears were ringing, but he heard rapid footsteps coming from outside the chamber. A messenger came in a hurry: "Report——"
Everyone looked at the messenger.
“The enemy’s 20,000 troops have reached ten miles outside the city!”
Everyone's minds were buzzing.
They all looked at Xun Ding.
Xun Ding’s expression did not change, but in fact he was shocked.
He only dealt with the Pioneer Battalion and never met the other two armies. He really didn’t know the size of Shen Tang’s army.
I never thought that there were actually as many as 20,000? ? ?
Qiu Cheng crushed the handrail of Pingji directly: "Twenty thousand?"
What is the concept of 20,000 troops? For a county, it is equivalent to an outpouring of force, and it also sends a signal——
We will not give up until we die!
Someone asked again for confirmation: "Really 20,000?"
The messenger replied: "It's absolutely true."
The number cannot be precise, but judging from the size of the military formation, the approximate number is still right, and the discrepancy will not be too big.
Miao Shu paid attention to one detail.
"How big is the territory of Longwu County? How many soldiers and horses can it support? Not to mention that there are troops stationed on the border to divide the military resources... Could it be that the Shen thieves are really out in force, and the defense is empty at this moment?" Knowing Longwu How much land a county has can estimate how many soldiers it can support.
Either the number of soldiers and horses is falsified. The 20,000 troops and horses are just a fictitious number. It is mixed with water. Common people in the territory were temporarily transferred to fill the number. In fact, the number of elites participating in the war may be around 10,000. Either Shen Tang went crazy and left the nest without leaving enough people to look after the family... If it was the former, the opponent's combat power was not something to be afraid of. If it was the latter, they could make a profit.
Maybe we can sneak in and kill Shen Tang.
Miao Shu pointed out the key points in a few words. Qiu Cheng also followed her thoughts and thought of the above two points. His frown gradually relaxed: "So, what you mean is..."
"Shen Thief, it's not enough. Fear.”
"If I decide at this moment that the other party is strong and timid, and is weaker than others, I am afraid that I will really fall into the trap of the thief..."
Miao Shu talked eloquently and couldn't help but turn her gaze towards The chief scribe who always remained silent under Qiu Cheng's account.
At the same time, he was also the first scribe under Qiu Cheng.
The latter looked indifferent.
Neither agree nor disagree.
When Qiu Cheng asked him about his plan, he spoke.
"At first glance, this analysis is correct. But it ignores a crucial point - what are the benefits of Thief Shen doing this? This son has been running Longwu County for two years, spending countless energy, and the grain depot It is abundant, attracts countless refugees, and the population within the territory is prosperous... these cannot be achieved in a day or two. If no one is left to guard Longwu County, even if we attack Sibao County with all our strength, is it worth losing Longwu County by accident? Therefore, in my opinion, the territory of Longwu County must be heavily guarded, only those with naive ideas can be attacked. Throw yourself into a trap. This is probably the strategy of "asking the king to fall into the trap"
Miao Shu was not convinced.
"If it is true that Longwu County is heavily guarded, but there are 20,000 soldiers and horses in front of us, how can Shen Thief afford to support them with his family background?"

Hehehe, I finally got the doctor to agree to hospitalization. Shiitake was hospitalized on the 14th. If nothing unexpected happened, she would have had an autopsy on the 15th. She would be hospitalized for three days and then discharged. You will probably have to take two or three days off.
