Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Sun Moon Fenghua!Yu Wencheng moved his lips slightly, but said nothing.
He knew that although Yuan Shangyu had a tough attitude, there was nothing wrong with what he said.
Baihuying is the strongest soldier among the three guards in Xiling, or in other words, the most elite soldier in Xiling.
The victory of such a cavalry is closely related to Yuwen's family.
As the strongest soldier in Xiling, if not even a band of thieves can be wiped out, or even defeated by the opponent’s hands, it will not only make the officers and soldiers’ momentum plummet, and cause the reputation of Yuwen’s family to be severely hit, but also Let more bandits give birth to ambitions, and the stability of Yuwen County and Xiling will be threatened.
Yuan Shangyu claimed that Baihuying would not make a move, and that he had to win once he made a move. The reason is simple. Baihuying's suppression of thieves is not just a military action, but more factors are involved behind it.
"In fact, it is not impossible to find out the situation of Jigong Gorge." Qin Xiao suddenly said when the tent was silent.
Yuwen Chengchao and Yuan Shangyu looked at Qin Xiao at the same time.
"Wang Xiao, do you have a way?" Yu Wencheng's eyes lit up.
For some reason, although the boy in front of him looks unpretentious, Yu Wen Chengchao always feels that this kid has unexpected capabilities.
Qin Xiao respectfully said: "Lord Young Master, you just said that Ding Zixiu occupies a dangerous place. With his caution, he will guard against the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers."
"That's natural." Yuwen Chengchao nodded: "He hates me for my bones, and knows that I can't tolerate him. Not to mention whether they looted the Qilian Mountain Racecourse, even if there is no such thing, as long as I get news from him, He must not be able to let him go. He knows this."
"So the eldest son said that he would store a lot of grain on the mountain to prevent the officers and soldiers from besieging." Qin Xiao said: "With grain in hand, he can consume it with the officers and soldiers."
Yuwen Chengchao nodded and said: "This is a matter of course, he will definitely do this."
"Lord Young Master, according to this, he will definitely collect food everywhere." Qin Xiao said: "It is September now, and it is also the time of autumn harvest. Of course Ding Zixiu knows that it is best to collect and looted food at this time. Timing."
Yuwen Chengchao and Yuan Shangyu looked at each other. Yuan Shangyu seemed to understand, raised his eyebrows, and smiled: "Wang Xiao, you mean, Ding Zixiu will send someone to rob food, and this is our opportunity?"
Qin Xiao nodded and said: "If it was me and wanted to store food, it would never be possible to miss this season. The people receive the food, they can plunder, and the rich man saves the food, they will also take action. Anyway, just like the old man said, the more food As much as possible, he can sit back and relax when he has enough grain. If there is no grain on the mountain, he can only go down to grab it.
"That's right." Yuwen Chengchao said excitedly: "As long as their people start, we set up an ambush, and those who catch them can learn about the situation on the mountain from the captives."
Fat Fish also showed a smile, walked over and patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder, and smiled: "Brother Wang, you are really good, this brain is inspiring."
Yu Wencheng said to Yuan Shangyu: "Leader Yuan, Brother Wang's idea is feasible." He walked to the map and took a closer look before he said: "Jigong Gorge is only forty miles west of Pingqiu County, and around Pingqiu County. In all the villages and towns, the grains will be sent to the county, and then they will be escorted to the city. Recently, the autumn harvest has begun, and Pingqiu County has a lot of grains. Will Ding Zixiu send people to the county to looting the granary?"
"Beijiang thinks no." Yuan Shangyu shook his head and said: "Although Ding Zixiu wants to grab grain and store it, he dare not expose his deeds, let alone jump out and become the government's target. To rob Pingqiu County, a dozen Individuals cannot do it. At least 40 or 50 people must be organized to succeed. With so many people killed in the county to grab food, Ding Zixiu should not have the courage. Even if Ding Zixiu really has such a plan, we can't do it any time. Sure, you can't always arrange people to wait for them to appear in an ambush in the county seat?
"Move soldiers and horses to ambush in the county town, it is easy to leak the wind." Qin Xiao said: "
Ding Zixiu had the lesson of a fiasco that year, and he must be very careful in his actions. He really wanted to rob the grain depot in the county seat. He would definitely arrange spies in the county seat in advance to get a clear picture of the situation in the city.The commander said that we must catch them all at once, and we must ambush them. Otherwise, we will not have the purpose of destroying them. But when there are more people, they will inevitably attract attention, and those spies will also notice that the situation is not right."
Yuwen Chengchao nodded and said: "As long as they find something wrong, Ding Zixiu will not dare to take action."
"When Ding Zixiu sends people down the mountain and where to grab food, we can't guess his mind." Yuan Shangyu frowned and said, "Even if we put eyeliner around Jigong Gorge and wait for their people to go down and grab the food, When we get news and rush over, the band of thieves will definitely leave long ago."
Qin Xiao bowed his head in silence, thought for a moment, and said: "We don't need to find them, just let them find us."
"Look for us?" Yuwen Chengchao was startled.
Qin Xiao also walked to the side of the map, pointed to Pingqiu County on the map, and moved to Fenggan Mansion City. He said, "From Pingqiu County to Fenggan Mansion City, there are more than one hundred miles. The eldest son said that Pingqiu County will accept the surrounding area. Then send people to Fenggan Mansion City." Fingers up, "Master, commander, you see, to the south of the road from Pingqiu County to Fucheng is Jigong Gorge, from Jigong Gorge Down the mountain, to this official road, only thirty or forty miles."
Yuwen Chengchao was also a shrewd person. As soon as Qin Xiao finished the first half of his speech, he immediately understood what Qin Xiao meant. He looked at the map and slowly said: "From Pingqiu County to escort food to the city, Ding Zixiu may send People looted the food truck directly on the halfway."
"If we set a trap and wait for them to get the bait, we can catch it on the spot." Yuan Shangyu smiled faintly: "After catching these prisoners, we can learn the details of Jigong Gorge from their mouths."
Fat Fish said worriedly: "If Ding Zixiu's people are caught, he will definitely be alert, and if he wants to sneak past silently, it will be even more difficult."
Yuan Shangyu said: "They are guarding the suspension bridge, and it is difficult to attack them from the beginning. In that case, they can only figure out their situation and make arrangements."
"Master commander, in fact... it may not be impossible to launch a sneak attack." Qin Xiao hesitated before saying: "I have an idea next, and I don't know if it is feasible."
Yuwen Chengchao was quite excited, and said, "Sit down and discuss, don't worry."
That night, the lights in Yuan Shangyu's tent stayed on until the early hours of the morning. Before dawn, Yuwen Chengchao came out of the tent and left quietly with his subordinate Fat Yu and Zhao Yi.
Yuwen County has nine counties under its jurisdiction, and the taxes of the nine counties are all collected by Yuwen.
During the autumn harvest every year, the counties will successively transport grains to Fenggan Fucheng. Pingqiu County has a lot of arable land, and the annual grain payment is also among the top nine counties.
Naturally, the county seat of Xiling cannot be compared with the county seat in Guannei.
The general county town is also larger than the town in the Guan, and Xiling is vast and sparsely populated. Although Fenggan Fucheng has a large population and is very lively, the population of each county town is not that much.
At dusk, a team escorting grain trucks from Pingqiu County moved slowly on the official road towards Fenggan Fucheng.
There were more than 30 carts of food, and not many people were escorted.
In the early years, escort food needed to be accompanied by a lot of strong men, and some counties even hired escorts.
After all, after the Wutuo Rebellion, thieves have been rampant in Xiling land for several years, and every motorcade that traverses Xiling land will face the attack of thieves at any time.
Many caravans interrupted their trade, which dealt a huge blow to the prosperity of Xiling.
Xiling Duhufu and Xiling Gate Clan joined forces to attack Xiling thieves and wipe out countless thieves, and also put many thieves to an end, and the way of business was reopened.
Although there are still robbers in Xiling today, there are also from time to time
The caravan was robbed, but all the robbers knew in their hearts that they could move the caravan occasionally, but it's best not to act rashly for the family caravan.
A gust of wind, Ding Zixiu, the bandit, attacked the food brigade transported to Fucheng, making Yuwen furious, mobilizing troops and horses to destroy it, and because of that battle, no one in the food brigade sent to Fucheng from the counties dared anymore. With a touch, the manpower to escort the food team will be greatly saved.
The official road is not a flat river. In some places, the roads are rugged and ups and downs. The grain officer in the county seat escorted the grain team. Seeing that the sky is getting darker, he turned his head and said loudly: "Everyone hurry up and rush to Fucheng at night. A big restaurant for you to have a good meal."
The crowd cheered and their spirits increased.
Not far to the south of the official road, there is a high slope. At this moment, a group of people are leaning over the lush grass on the high slope, overlooking the convoy.
"Three masters, do you want to start?" One person looked at the convoy and turned to look at a man beside him.
The man was in his early forties, with a sturdy back and black beard, and his eyes looked at the convoy from a distance.
The twenty-odd people under him all held knives, but the three masters held a big axe in one hand.
"Wait a minute." The third master looked cautious: "Will there be their staff nearby?"
"Three heads, you are too careful." The subordinate said: "The day before yesterday we had brothers reported that the Pingqiu County had to transport grain to Fucheng. A group of grain trucks passed by here that day, you said you can't act rashly. That team entered the city smoothly. Today is the second batch. If you let it go, you may not have such a good opportunity in the future."
"Three heads, I shipped more than a dozen cars the day before yesterday, this time more than doubled the last time." Another person whispered: "There are only so many grains in Pingqiu County, I'm afraid they are almost all shipped. The head said. There is no shortage of other things on the mountain now, what is lacking is food, let us do everything possible to save more food."
The previous humanity said: "We don’t know how to grow food, even if we do, where is the land for us? You said before that you want to go to the county town to grab the food. The master repeatedly warned that you must never go to the city. If we don't enter the city, we can only do a little bit of food."
"This is the official food sent to Fucheng." The third master is still a little worried: "You said, if the official food is robbed, will the official and Yuwen family trouble us?"
"Three masters, we are thieves. If we don't grab food, they will also find us trouble." The man next to him opened his eyes wide. "Are we going to be polite with the government? You know, the big boss and Yuwen's house are incompatible. He vowed that one day Yuwen would go through a thousand swords, and these grains would be sent to the city and handed over to Yuwen's family, so he should grab it and avenge the master."
The third boss still hesitated, and the person on the edge even persuaded him: "The third boss, if you really make a great contribution, the big boss will definitely be admired. Aren’t you the little wife who has been coveting the second boss? You may have taken this batch of food. The master will reward you that vixen, and you can play whatever you want, without thinking about it every day."
"Fuck your mother's shit." The third master scolded, "When did I covet that sorrowful fox? It was the sorrowful fox who glared at Laozi every time he saw Laozi, obviously trying to seduce me. Not to mention me and the second master How can you be a good brother?"
"The second head is getting poorer and sicker, and the third head is strong and physically strong. She is a woman who likes it." The man next to him whispered: "Maybe the second wife really wants to be your wife, three Master, say something that shouldn’t be said, if you make a great contribution, don’t talk about the second lady, I’m afraid the second master’s position will be given to you.”
The three heads are righteous and upright: "If you talk nonsense, I killed you with an axe. Who do you think of me? Brother and wife, don't bully me, is Chen Zhitai such a villain?" Hesitated and asked in a low voice. Said: "You said that if you have done meritorious service, the master will really reward me that slut?"
