Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

King Xijun heard Jia Lian's narration, and felt that Jia Lian's plan was good, but not perfect.

"Yang Jiuzhi has been stationed in Ping'anzhou all the year round. The water and soil in this area are like iron barrels he manages. According to my inquiries during this period of time, he manages the army well and has strict discipline in the army. The general soldiers can only join the army with the certificate of three life villagers. Our Even if people mixed in with Lao Jun's team, I'm afraid it would be difficult to break into his team. Not to mention that he has five thousand soldiers and horses in his hand, but on the tens of thousands of disaster victims he has beckoned, once their identities are revealed, It is likely to be a fatal disaster. His regular army doesn’t need to do anything at all, just move his mouth, and the ants will kill the elephant. Don’t underestimate the violence of those victims, hundreds of people are not enough to fill their teeth.”

Jia Lian understood the violence of the disaster victims better than Prince Xi. Hearing this, he took it for granted, and also felt that this method of sneaking in and waiting for dark to cause trouble was lacking.

Jia Lian's plan is to enter the city in disguise, wait until night falls, and then cooperate with the inside and outside to attack the city.

King Xi thought very much. If he wanted to succeed, he must first ensure that these soldiers who lurked in could survive until night fell safely.

Jia Lian thought for a while, and put forward his suggestion for improvement again: "So, how about we change the time of going to the city to work in the evening?"

King Xijun said: "Tell me about your specific plan."

Jia Lian said: "I have already found out that the soldiers and horses of Ping'anzhou were stationed in four thousand households in the southeast, northwest, and guarding the Ping'anzhou command post. Yang Jiuzhi's command post also stationed more than a thousand people. This is their foreign policy. The declared number. In fact, since King Zhongyi and Yang Jiuzhi took over, Yang Jiuzhi was afraid that King Zhongshun and King Zhongyi would be unfavorable to him, so his command post has increased to 2000. In this way, the four thousand households It’s just nameless.”

"Furthermore, in order to buy people's hearts and show his kindness, Yang Jiuzhi gave all the local soldiers a five-day holiday, starting on the 29th, and returning on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. I don't know the exact number of this group of people. More than a thousand people.

"Therefore, the actual number of officers and soldiers stationed at the four city gates is less than 500. I have been spying on the four city gates for the past few days and nights, and I have found out that about 300 people are stationed at the Qianhusuo at the southeast two gates. Only [-] people are stationed."

"My plan is, with a superior force of 3000 people, we should cooperate with the outside and quickly eliminate the garrison of the Thousand Households located in the two gates in the northwest. At that time, we will plant the banner of the Fengsheng Army on the two gates in the northwest. Your lord, please ascend to the top and announce Yang Jiuzhi's crimes of extortionate expropriation, adultery with traitors, perversion, and intention to rebel, and call on the people of the world to punish him. In this way, our army will be encouraged, and the soldiers and horses of Ping'an Province will be panicked. "

"After all, Ping'an Island is the guard of the imperial court, not Yang Jiuzhi's private soldiers. I believe that they will not follow Yang Jiuzhi's path to darkness in the face of life and death."

King Xijun nodded his head: "It seems to be possible, but there are also thousands of households in the southeast two gates, and they may come to help."

Jia Lian said: "Your Majesty, don't forget that we have a total of 600 soldiers attacking the city. As long as the 3000 soldiers successfully sneak into the city and encircle and suppress 700 people from the two gates in the northwest, this is a crushing battle, and it should be possible soon. End the battle. In this way, even if the southeast two gates come to help, are our three thousand soldiers afraid that he will not succeed with one thousand soldiers?"

King Xi pointed to Yang Jiuzhi Xingyuan on the picture: "Yang Jiuzhi's command post still has [-] soldiers and horses. Once the siege begins, he will definitely send troops to help."

"This subordinate also thought about it. Yang Jiuzhi's Xingyuan has 3000 soldiers stationed. I bet he won't send all of them. In this way, he can only reinforce more than 1000 people at the city gate. We are still [-] people against him. There are [-] people, enough for a battle. Furthermore, unless Yang Jiuzhi does not come, once he walks out of the command post and personally supervises the battle, I guarantee that he will not see the sun tomorrow."

King Xijun nodded when he heard the words, he had seen Jia Lian's skills before, and his movements were as fast as ghosts, if he killed someone, it would be very difficult to escape within three feet.

However, King Xijun still reminded Jia Lian: "There are also many dead men around Yang Jiuzhi, you'd better be careful."

After Jia Lian thanked him, he said, "Although Lord Wang's life is safe, his ankle is injured and his movement is inconvenient. I'm afraid that commanding the siege will trouble you a lot, my lord."

Prince Xi readily responded: "This is all a matter of my duty, so there is no need to talk about it."

Jia Lian said: "The rest is the question of when to attack the city. What the officials mean is that we might as well choose to attack the city on New Year's Eve. Yang Jiuzhi thought that giving the soldiers a holiday to go back to celebrate the New Year would buy people's hearts, and those soldiers who stayed behind, He will miss his relatives' homeland even more, and his will is relatively weak, so we happened to catch him by surprise and kill him by surprise."

King Xijun said: "The reason why Yang Jiuzhi recruited the victims was actually to make the victims his backup force. Therefore, I am worried that Yang Jiuzhi will induce the victims at any time. Once there is a civil uprising, the situation will be unmanageable."

Jia Lian said: "According to the inference of the subordinate, what Yang Jiuzhi wanted was to let King Zhongyi County and King Zhongshun lead the trouble, and he followed behind to take advantage of troubled waters. Now, King Zhongyi County has been captured by us, and King Zhongshun has disappeared. I haven't noticed it for the time being, and when he finds out that something is wrong, it should be a matter of years. Besides, those disaster victims have food and drink now. If no one instigates them, they probably won't plan to riot. After all, the common people will never would take a risk."

After thinking about it, King Xi agreed with Jia Lian's reasoning, and the two began to discuss in detail all the details of the siege on New Year's Eve, as well as possible accidents during the war, and then supplemented it.

In the end, the two discussed and decided that Jia Lian's Pingzi battalion would divide into two groups, one would go to the northwest gate to meet Prince Teng and King Xijun, and the other would stay near Yang Jiuzhi's command post.

Once Yang Jiuzhi sends troops to help, the troops left behind can set fires everywhere, disturb and cause riots, creating the illusion that our army is attacking the command post, thereby reducing the pressure on the city gates and dividing the enemy troops.

The two listed all the steps in detail and made repeated inferences.In the end, all the details of the siege were written and made in duplicate, one copy was downstairs for King Xijun to continue deliberation, Jia Lian took one part and handed it to Wang Ziteng for final examination.

Prince Xi counted the time secretly. Today is New Year's Eve, and there are still six days before New Year's Eve. King Xi suggested that in order not to alarm Yang Jiuzhi, 3000 troops from the sea area must march at night and enter Ping'an Island in batches.

King Xijun said: "You take this decision back to Mr. Wang. If he agrees to attack the city on New Year's Eve, then starting tonight, the 3000 troops in Haijiang will start to mobilize."

Jia Lian complied, left Xiaocavalry's camp with the battle plan, and sneaked back to Yunwu Mountain in the dark.Report the agreed siege plan to Wang Ziteng.

To be honest, Wang Ziteng was more sophisticated than King Xi and Jia Lian. Soon, he discovered the loopholes in the siege plan.Yan said: "Sneak attack at night, once you fight close to hand, you will be indistinguishable from the enemy, do you have any consideration?"

Jia Lian raised his forehead, he really didn't expect this.

"Since my father-in-law sees the flaw, what is the best way?"

Wang Ziteng said with a smile: "I don't have a good strategy, but we also called the Red Guards when we first formed an army. Their symbol is the red silk scarf around their necks."

Jia Lian clapped her hands: "Let's learn from the dress of our ancestors, and wear a red ribbon around the neck to show the difference."

Wang Ziteng had seen the siege strategy recorded by Jia Lian in detail, and thought it was feasible, so he made a final decision.

Weng and his son-in-law finished their discussions, and Jia Lian quickly returned to the residence of King Xijun in Linxian County with a revised battle plan.At the same time, Jia Lian brought back the three battalions of Pingziying and Yongding Army.All these people and horses are lurking in the woods outside Ping'an.

On the next day, on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, Jia Lian handed over the revised plan to King Xijun, who fully agreed with Wang Ziteng's suggestion, and sighed: "A certain country, old minister!"

Jia Lian returned to Yunwu Mountain with King Xi's final decision.That night, he once again led a group of soldiers and horses to sneak into the woods to the west of Ping'an Island to station.

In this way, troops were moved every night, and on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, all the horses and horses entered the ambush, ready to fight.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Jia Lian received a letter from Feige from Fengshengjuntai Station. Emperor Qianyuan affirmed Jia Lian's combat strategy. Regarding how to appease the victims, Emperor Qianyuan rewarded Jia Lian with a dragon pendant. .When you see the jade pendant, you will feel like I am here in person.”

Jia Lian held the jade pendant in his hand and was full of joy. This is Shangfang's sword.With this jade pendant, when negotiating the resettlement of the disaster victims, Jia Lian can promise some conditions that can lead to the success of the negotiation.

For example, the distribution of travel expenses, for example, tax relief and labor and so on.

Wang Ziteng was also very happy when he saw the jade pendant. Now everything is ready and the only thing he owes is Dong Feng.

This time Emperor Qianyuan was really a stroke of genius. The number of Wu Bida's labor force was as many as 300, which happened to be a battalion of soldiers and horses.

Jia Lian gave Emperor Qianyuan a thumbs up again in his heart.

Jia Lian just replaced all his Pingzi camps.As for the fishermen, Jia Lian has handed them over to Wang Ziteng, and they will be deployed in the Yongding army. The Yunti team will be the backbone of the siege outside, and they will not cheat with Jia Lian.

It's a pity that Lao Jun's team is too delicate, and they still haven't arrived after half a month's journey of seven or eight days. If the station of Fengsheng Army hadn't been reporting their itinerary to Jia Lian, Jia Lian almost thought they wouldn't come.

On the morning of the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Jia Lian finally received the news that Lao Jun's team had passed through the station of the Fengsheng Army last night and had been captured by the Fengsheng Army.

Jia Lian was overjoyed and hurriedly led Pingziying to the station thirty miles away from Ping'an Island.Without anyone noticing, Wu Bida's labor force was turned upside down.

This Wu Bida is a stick figure that Emperor Qianyuan deliberately found in the Wu family. He is just a dude.

He was very unhappy when Emperor Qianyuan asked him to go out of Beijing to work in the army at first.It was his nephew, the third prince, who found out and told his mother, Concubine Wu Gui. Concubine Wu called him to scold him, so he reluctantly accepted the job.

His subordinates are all miscellaneous troops ordered by Emperor Qianyuan to fight everywhere, and they are not familiar with Wu Bida at all.Only the first twelve captains, Long Jinwei, were the confidant guards placed by Emperor Qianyuan. Wu Bida knew these people, and they were even more familiar with Jia Lian.

They have received orders from Emperor Qianyuan to cooperate with Jia Lian.Therefore, with the cooperation of the twelve bodyguards, as long as Jia Lian did not change Wu Bida's personal bodyguard, he would have no idea that his subordinates had been replaced.

Jia Lian took advantage of Wu Bida's dinner time to steal the post, and then went to the twelve guards to persuade Wu Bida to go to Ping'anzhou at night by citing the difficult conditions at the station.

This persuasion: there are only fifty miles left to the left, and it will be there in an hour, otherwise it is really unlucky to live in this ghostly place for one night and have to go on the road tomorrow on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The other persuaded: If you arrive at Ping'an Island overnight, you can still catch up with the New Year's Eve banquet in the guard house. There must be singing and dancing at the meeting.At that time, the young master can let the dancer wait for him to drink and eat meat, how happy it is, why bother to shrink back because of a little snowy road, and miss the great enjoyment.

Wu Bida was originally an unrepentant and attractive man, but the conditions here are really harsh, there is not much meat in the food, and even less meat dishes.He is also a greedy and lustful person. He heard that entering Ping'an Island has these benefits, so why not do it?

Wu Bida promised Kui Ye to set off for Ping'an Island.

At this time, it is already the first quarter of the fifth hour, and it will take about an hour to travel.Jia Lian secretly conveyed the message to Ang Jiayun, and he was about to start at Haishi.

Along the way, Jia Lian in disguise and twelve guards coaxed Wu Bida as if coaxing his grandson, and finally arrived at the east gate of Ping'an Island at the beginning of Haishi.

The gate of the city had been closed at the beginning of the fifth hour, and it was time for Wu Bida, the stepping stone, to step in.

Wu Bida was woken up by someone, and vaguely heard that he had arrived outside the city of Ping'anzhou. He was very happy, and was startled when he dozed off: "Go and call the door, and tell us that we have been ordered to come by the army."

The guard on the city was very tired of having to be on duty on New Year's Eve. He was holding a stove and leaning against the city wall for a while, but was interrupted by the sound of the door. He was very irritable and leaned out to scold: " What are you doing, there is nothing important, hurry up tomorrow."

Wu Bida immediately scolded: "You bastard is begging for death! Open your dog eyes and look carefully, who is the master, young master Wu Bida!"
