A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. As long as Beidi collapses, all the wealth left behind will go into the pockets of a very small number of people. Some people will suddenly become the richest businessmen in the world, as well as those who are called rebellious ministers and sycophants. People will turn around and become powerful ministers, or even royal family members.
No one can resist the temptation of these words "redistribution of resources".
As for the benefits Qin Feng promised to Ye Xiao, money was the least important part, and the most important part was the quota to participate in resource allocation.
Anyone who gets a spot will become the top person in the country.
In exchange, these night owl rebels will help Qin Feng and try their best to instigate the main participants in this war, which naturally includes many generals who attacked Changshui County.
Once these generals work together and form a rope, even if they have slingshots and crossbows, it will be impossible to defend Changshui County. The opponent can drown Qin Feng just by relying on their numbers.
On the contrary, once the opponent becomes disloyal and someone continues to secretly help, or even directly interfere with the correct tactical arrangements, then defending the city will become relatively simple.
To put it bluntly, even if the troops under his command are all elite troops who are brave and good at fighting, it is better to plant a traitor in the enemy camp.
Ning Hu had already been stunned by Qin Feng's "prophecy".
After fighting side by side for so long, Ning Hu considered himself one of the people who understood Qin Feng best. However, Qin Feng could always subvert Ning Hu's views, catching him off guard and making him fall to the ground in admiration.
"Qin...Brother Qin..."
"You transporting the parts of the crossbow to Changshui County is already amazing enough, but infiltrating the Night Owl is even more unexpected to me."
"When did you start infiltrating Night Owl?"
Qin Feng stood with his hands behind his hands, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and wrote lightly: "Didn't I say it, from the beginning of Jinyiwei's establishment?"
"To be precise, after establishing the Jin Yiwei, the first thing we did was to determine numerous major policies, and one of them was the infiltration work against Ye Xiao and Hei Wei."
From the beginning of Jinyiwei's establishment...
Ning Hu stared at Qin Feng blankly and said in disbelief: "You...you can predict the future? Otherwise, how do you know that infiltrating Night Owl will come in handy at this time?"
Hearing this, Qin Feng couldn't help but patted Ning Hu on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Don't mind if I say something unpleasant."
"If you do everything on the fly, you won't be able to keep up with the heat even if you eat shit."
"Who told you that I foresaw this winter war, so I started to make arrangements? No matter how clever I am, I can't control the weather, right? This severe winter that only happens once in a century is even a surprise to me."
"To plan this kind of thing, first of all, it must be enough, and secondly, it must be long-term enough."
"Whether it's infiltrating Night Owl or capturing Changshui County, it's all because I think there may be a need in the future. As long as I feel it, that's enough."
"As for whether it will come in handy in the future, I actually don't care. It's better to put in a little extra effort when it's peaceful than to not have a fire extinguishing tool around you when a fire is imminent."
Although Qin Feng spoke in an understatement, Ning Hu still felt that his three views had been subverted. This kind of mind-boggling and meticulous thinking, Qin Feng was the only one in the world.
Even if he is in a desperate situation, as long as he follows Qin Feng, Ning Hu is still full of confidence and firmly believes that he will be able to complete the strategic goal and successfully hold on for three months!
At this moment, a scout ran over panting.
"The Marquis of Qin, Marquis of Ning, and the garrison troops have been assembled, and the vanguard army is already heading towards Changshui County."
Hearing this, Qin Feng and Ning Hu looked at each other and ran towards the city wall at the same time.
As Qin Feng ran, he shouted to the Tianji Camp guards following him: "Immediately ask the army craftsmen to speed up the construction of catapults and bed crossbows. If there are not enough manpower, let the strong men help to build the city defense equipment. This is the first priority now." Business, everything, must give way!”
"The whole army is here, consolidate the defense line immediately!"
Ning Hu was not idle either, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Withdraw all the scouts and messengers operating outside the city. Now spying and guerrillas are meaningless. Once the enemy army arrives, our only task is to defend the city wall." .”
"The guards of the Tianji Battalion are ordered to deploy two hundred people on each of the east and west defense lines to coordinate defense with Beixi soldiers. One hundred people on each of the main and secondary defense lines in the north and south."
"Pass the order, from now on, it has entered a state of war!"
Changshui County, which was already in full swing, immediately entered into extremely efficient operation. Everyone was sweating profusely, running back and forth to transport various supplies.
The vanguard of the siege army was still a full day's journey from Changshui County.
The vanguard consisted of five thousand men, led by Jing Peng, the hussar general of the royal capital's garrison.
As a hussar general and a member of the royal family, Jing Peng had absolute control over these five thousand people. He was dressed in armor, riding a tall horse, with his head held high and his brows full of confidence.
Even though he was on the road to fight against the rebellion, Jing Peng still couldn't believe that Qin Feng would be so stupid as to seize Changshui County and fight against the entire Dadi.
"Idiot!" Jing Peng snorted, the arrogance of the royal clan clearly revealed.
The deputy general following him reminded in a deep voice: "General, Qin Feng is resourceful, brave and good at fighting. Even General Chen Si has suffered from Qin Feng more than once. Don't be careless and underestimate the enemy."
Facing the deputy general's reminder, Jing Peng didn't take it seriously, and his eyes became even more contemptuous.
"People can not escape from doing wrong?"
"I don't doubt Qin Feng's military ability, but there are times when his old horse stumbles. Taking Changshui County and besieging the isolated city this time is the worst move he has ever made in his life."
"It would be fine if Changshui County is far away. After all, it is beyond our reach. But as one of the important counties in Gyeonggi Province, it is only a day's journey from our camp, so it can be said that we can reach it with our hands."
"The entire Gyeongsang Province, except for the royal garrison, the various armies surrounding the Gyeongsang Province are huge in number and have enough soldiers and horses to fight another national war. Even the guards of the Tianji Camp under Qin Feng are all gods. When you go down to earth and face enemies that are dozens or even hundreds of times more numerous, you are like a mantis trying to defeat a chariot."
Hearing this, the deputy general was about to refute, but found that the captain next to him winked at him.
The deputy general had no choice but to hold back the words that came to his lips, and sighed in his heart. Having more people is indeed an advantage, but the question is, can siege and field warfare be the same thing?
As long as there are sufficient supplies, strong morale, intact city walls, and wise generals, the defenders will be able to fight against an army ten times their own size and not fall behind.
