Chapter 612 Chapter 612: Ping Sibao County (14) [Seeking a monthly ticket]
"What?"
"So fast?"
Although he was mentally prepared, he was still surprised to hear this with his own ears. Qiu Cheng even clenched the armrests tightly to cover up his true emotions. Xun Ding followed closely and dropped another thunder: "If there is no accident, this Shen Tang not only led his troops to come personally..."
He deliberately held everyone's appetite.
Spit out the rest of the words in a leisurely manner.
"...is still a vanguard general!"
I have never seen such a hardworking lord.
A scribe recalled the details of Xun Ding's previous dictation, and said half-believingly: "Pioneer general? But didn't you just say that you encountered the vanguard battalion under the account of Shen Bandit and managed to escape after a hard fight? Could it be that you met Shen Bandit ?”
There is nothing wrong with this question at first glance, but Xun Ding has been dependent on his father since he was a child, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, there is no lack of attention that should be there. Naturally, he could hear the question behind the scribe's words—since the thief is here, why not kill him?
It is not unreasonable for the scribe to think so.
The Vanguard Battalion is generally short of troops. In any case, more than 400 heavy shield fighters have been sacrificed, and the loss is irreparable. Why didn't Xun Ding do one and the other, sacrifice all the rest, and take the opportunity to drag Shen Tang, the leader of the bandit, to death, wouldn't that be better?
I think there is a chance.
But Xun Ding did not do this.
Xun Ding sneered: "Yes, it is precisely because Shen Tang is a general of the Vanguard Battalion that Xun has suffered such a big loss. Don't you forget, or maybe you don't know, that Shen Tang was able to fight with the public four years ago? Xiqiu is taller and inferior? How can Xun keep people?"
As long as the vanguard camp changes individuals, he may not suffer a disadvantage.
Xun Ding has confidence in his own strength.
Everyone: "..."
They all heard about it, and no one saw that scene with their own eyes. In addition, Shen Tang has been too Buddhist in the past few years, and he looks like an honest old farmer who only knows how to farm. , in fact, difficult to vice.
For a while, people's hearts fluttered.
Until a loud shout interrupted everyone's thoughts.
"What are you afraid of? All of them are really cowards, they don't seem like decent men! Before the battle started, you were timid? If you knew this, why did you start? Tighten your tail early and go out of the city to give others Three bows and nine kowtows! You're just a thief! Didn't you also lose at the hands of Gong Xichou back then? Now that Gongxichou is used by us, why don't you worry about not being able to win this son's head?"
Qiu Cheng slightly loosened his grip on the armrest.
Yes, he still has Gong Xichou as his hole card.
So far, unless the employer maliciously defaults on the money, Gong Xiqiu will complete the contract agreement until the end. Even though it was widely rumored that this son had a bad reputation and only recognized money but not people, Qiu Cheng felt that this kind of person was more reassuring to use.
Qiu Cheng has his own ambitions, he is not satisfied with the small Sibao County, and has long thought of expanding. Hearing that Gong Xiqiu is idle at home, he took a lot of money to come to invite generals. Having such a ferocious **** of war sitting in town is like taking a reassurance.
Xun Ding wanted to roll his eyes when he heard this.
Gong Xiqiu has become more and more powerful in recent years.
Whatever you do must be specified on the contract.
You can do as much work as you get.
He is now in Xiaocheng's administration, it is impossible, and he will not come to Shan County. If he wants Gongxiqiu to play a role, he will have to wait for Shen Tang to lead his troops to Xiaocheng. But you said—they were all beaten to their hometowns, and in the end they were beaten back by foreign aid hired with money. What is there to be arrogant about? Instead of thinking about these, it is better to think about how to fight the next battle.
No food supplement, lost heavy shield wrestlers...
This Linshan County is not easy to guard.
Xun Ding thought about how to break the situation.
Sit down in the corner, with a posture of looking at the nose, the nose, the mouth, and the heart, and let the conference hall be noisy, comparable to a vegetable market, he just stands still. He also heard a young and energetic martial artist threatening that Shen Tang is not that scary, and his name is mostly false, and he is willing to issue a military order to remove his head for Qiu Cheng. Xun Ding was so teased that he almost laughed out loud. True—the ignorant are fearless.
Not long after, he noticed that someone was looking at him, so he followed his gaze and met a pair of gloomy and cold eyes. The owner of the eyes is a woman with good looks and little make-up, and Xun Ding will know her identity as soon as he turns around.
Regarding this, Xun Ding was noncommittal.
Whose canaries don’t grow bright and beautiful?
The "canary" in front of me can't see the slightest happiness.
He hasn't dealt with Qiu Cheng for a long time, but Gong Xiqiu said that Qiu Wenyan has the same **** as many aristocratic families. He has a heart, a guts, and a gluttonous stomach, but he lacks self-knowledge and a man's responsibility. People are used to nesting in their nests.
The so-called canary is afraid that it knows how well it is.
He heard his ears buzzing, but he heard hurried footsteps from outside the conference hall, and a messenger rushed over: "Report—"
Everyone looked at the messenger soldier.
"The enemy army has led 20,000 troops and has reached ten miles outside the city!"
Everyone's brains buzzed.
All looked at Xun Ding.
Xun Ding didn't change his face, but he was actually taken aback.
He has only dealt with the Pioneer Battalion, and has not met the other two armies, so he really doesn't know the size of Shen Tang's troops.
Never thought that there are as many as 20,000? ? ?
Qiu Cheng directly crushed the handrails of Pingji: "Twenty thousand?"
What is the concept of 20,000 troops? For a county, it is equivalent to going out of the nest, and it also sends a signal——
Don't die, don't give up!
Someone asked again for proof: "Is it really 20,000?"
The messenger soldier replied: "It is absolutely true."
The number cannot be exact, but judging by the size of the army formation, the approximate number is still comparable, and the discrepancy will not be too large.
Miao Shu pays attention to a detail.
"How big is Longwu County? How many soldiers and horses can it support? Not to mention that there are troops stationed at the border to divide up military resources... Could it be that the heavy thieves are really coming out, and the defense is empty at this moment?" Knowing how much land there is in Longwu County, you can Estimate how many soldiers to feed.
Either the number of people is faked, 20,000 soldiers and horses are just an imaginary number, mixed with water, and the common people in the territory are temporarily transferred to make up the number. In fact, the elite participating in the war may be around 10,000. Either Shen Tang went crazy and rushed out of the nest, and there were not enough housekeepers left in the old nest... If it was the former, the opponent's combat power was not to be feared, and if it was the latter, they would be profitable.
Maybe he can take advantage of the situation and kill Shen Tang instead.
Miao Shu pointed out the key point in a few words, and Qiu Cheng also followed her thoughts to think of the above two points, and gradually relaxed his frown: "So, what do you mean..."
"Shen thief, nothing to fear."
"If I wait for this moment to believe that the opponent is tyrannical and timid, and his momentum 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 eyes to the chief scribe under Qiu Cheng's tent who had always been silent.
At the same time, he is also the number one scribe under Qiucheng's account.
The latter looked indifferent.
Neither agree nor disagree.
He didn't speak until Qiu Cheng asked him about it.
"At first glance, this analysis is correct. But it ignores the crucial point - what is the benefit of Shen thief doing this? This son has spent a lot of energy in running Longwu County for two years, has ample grain depots, and recruited countless refugees. Prosperous population... This is not something that can be achieved in a day or two. If no one is left to guard Longwu County, even if you take Sibao County with all your strength, you will accidentally lose Longwu County. Is it worth it? Therefore, in my opinion, The territory of Longwu County must be heavily guarded, and only those with naive thoughts will fall into the trap. This is probably a strategy of 'inviting you into the urn'."
Miao Shudang 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's family support them?"
_(:з」∠)_
Hehehe, the doctor finally agreed to hospitalize me. Mushroom was hospitalized on the 14th. If there is no accident, it will be dissected on the 15th. After three days in the hospital, I will be discharged. At that time, I will probably ask for leave for two or three days.
