Chen Qian found it a little hard to accept Jiang Liangping's idea.
He felt that the soldiers in the city were seriously injured, and there was no war to recuperate and save the city. What was the benefit of taking the initiative to leave the city at this time?
"I don't think there's anything wrong with this. Our army has been severely depleted in the previous battles. We can still defend the city. If there is a slight loss in the battle, the city will not be protected. Regardless of whether they have a conspiracy or not, the strength of more than 10,000 people There are still some.”
Jiang Liangping knew that Chen Qian understood what he meant, so he asked, "Are they all elites?"
"ah?"
Chen Qian looked at Jiang Liangping: "What do you mean?"
"I have a guess. I don't know if it is true, so I want to go out and try it. If it is true, Chen Qian, we will have done a great job. The siege of Hejian has been solved, and the main force of the gold thieves is in the south and they can't take care of us. , aren’t we acting arbitrarily?”
Jiang Liangping looked at Chen Qian: "Do you dare to go out and give it a try?"
"Ah? Shall I go? This..."
Chen Qian scratched his head: "General, you are not kind."
"Am I not being kind? This is giving you the credit. If you don't go, you will be responsible for defending the city, and I will go for a sneak attack. If something goes wrong, you will be the commander-in-chief and you will be responsible for the city."
Jiang Liangping smiled: "We are fair and impartial, and I will never force you."
Chen Qian thought for a while and shook his head depressedly.
"I'm not good at defending the city. If something happens, I'll be in trouble if I come to defend the city. Forget it, I'll risk my life anyway."
Jiang Liangping patted Chen Qian on the shoulder: "Don't say that. I'm not asking you to die. If something happens, I will personally take people out to rescue you."
"It's better not to have this happen."
Chen Qian shook his head helplessly.
Chen Qian thought that what he was about to face was an unprecedented war, full of dangers and the possibility of death at any time, but this was not the case.
I don’t know if it was infected by Wan Yanliang, but Jin Jun seems to be suffering from the problem of self-destruction on the spot.
Here's the thing.
In order to save elite soldiers and horses, Wan Yanliang left behind to surround the city with a small number of elite regular soldiers and a large number of sign troops. There might only be one thousand elite regular soldiers out of ten thousand people, and the remaining nine thousand were sign troops, so that Use civilians to make up the numbers.
Wan Yanliang believed that the Restoration Army in the city would not dare to take the initiative due to the power of the Jin Army's previous attack on the city. As long as the remaining troops remained on the defensive and showed a tight defense, there would be no problem.
Even if the Liberation Army in the city is bold and wants to attack, it doesn't matter. At that time, the Liberation Army will be the attacker and the Jin Army will be the defender. The offensive and defensive positions will be changed and the defense will be tighter. The Liberation Army's strength will not be enough to break through any blockade.
It does make sense to think this way, but the problem is that the prerequisite for achieving this goal is that Jin Jun himself must be stable.
Can the Jin army be stable?
the answer is negative.
Wan Yanliang always had great confidence in his own army, but he did not consider the signing army and the regular army at all. There was even a huge difference between the regular army and the regular army.
His own Guards are of course the most elite and loyal, and are absolutely responsible for him, but the problem is that not every army is a Guard.
The signed soldiers had neither enough food nor clothing to keep them warm. They were the only candidates for cannon fodder whenever they encountered war. Military service was tantamount to going to hell. For so long, no one knows how many signed soldiers died in the war.
This number definitely far exceeds the number of deaths of Jin Army soldiers.
It is true that Wan Yanliang does not regard the signing army as a human being, but the signing army is indeed a human being. They may not have their own world view and life values, but they have a desire to survive, which is instinctive.
From the moment they were drafted, they began to think about how to escape.
When the main force was stationed here before, many people tried to escape, either by bribery of regular soldiers, or by using traditional skills to escape. As long as they escaped from the military camp without being discovered by the sentries, they could escape all the way back home.
But the risk of doing this before was still relatively high, because Wan Yanliang was still there, and the higher-ups were somewhat scrupulous. Even if the people below were trying to make money, they had to be a little more careful, and they didn't dare to let too many people go.
It's different now. Wan Yanliang left, and the officer who stayed behind to take care of things was a general manager, but this general manager liked money more than fighting. Seeing that there were no restrictions, he began to spend his time making money.
The business that brings in the fastest money is obviously the business of letting people go. It stipulates how much it will cost for one person, how much for five people, and how much for ten people. When the money comes, let people go. If the money doesn't come, you can try it out.
If I don’t get you back to make soup, I’ll lose!
If you want to leave, you have to spend money to pay for it through formal channels. If you don’t spend money, you can’t even think about it.
The entire military camp is tightly defended and can even be considered airtight. The purpose of this is not only to prevent the Liberation Army, but the main purpose is to prevent the signing army from escaping.
Those who have money can use money to buy roads. If they don’t have money, they can trade some valuable things with them to buy roads. As for those Kuhaha who can’t get any money, they can still be honest soldiers. It's better to be cannon fodder.
The governor of this city was named Heribu, and he began to manage business in this way, treating the army as a cornucopia of wealth.
Not to mention, there are quite a lot of people who spend money to buy roads. In just a few days, one or two hundred people have spent money to buy roads. Hrib is making money. When he is preparing to expand the scale and quota of sales, someone from his subordinates asks He complained that the price he was asking was too cheap.
"Cheap?"
"Yes, some people's asking price is two or three times more than yours, and there are still people who pay to buy the road. You let them go like this, don't you think you are at a loss?"
His subordinates looked at him with a wicked smile.
This immediately made Hrib feel that he was indeed a kind person.
But his kindness ended here. The next day he announced that he would double the price of buying a road. If you want to buy a road, you must pay. You can't leave here without paying.
This immediately caused the soldiers who wanted to buy the road to complain.
Many of them couldn't raise that much money and couldn't afford it even after exchanging all their belongings for money. In desperation, they begged the regular soldiers for mercy.
Gentlemen don't care about this. This kind of one-time deal will never happen again. Who cares about the customer's five-star praise?
It doesn’t matter if you give me a negative review.
There is only one road, whether you like it or not!
Someone got anxious and tried to reason with the regular soldiers, but the regular soldiers got annoyed and gave them a beating to let these people know that this is a seller's market, and I can only raise the price, not you who can bargain!
Some signers had no choice but to spend more money to buy their way.
Some signers really can't afford the money, and they really can't stand the harsh conditions here, so they can only take risks.
For them, the tattered and leaky tents, the tattered things to keep out the cold, and the stomachs that they don’t know when they will be full are all deadly. If they stay here for one more day, the probability of death will increase by one point.
There is no choice but to take risks.
But taking risks is risky. The military camp is extremely strictly controlled. How could it be so easy to escape?
It’s not like people have never done this before. Let alone the results, they were chopped into pieces, hung on one side and roasted, stuffed into a big pot and cooked...
Everyone who saw it felt cold from their heads to their toes, and were extremely frightened.
But it should be said that blind suppression is not without sequelae. It is said that wherever there is oppression, there will be resistance. The people have no way to survive. As long as someone raises their arms, they are really going to rebel.
Originally, the emperor was here and the army was there, and no one dared to rebel. But now that the emperor is gone and the army is gone, there are only a thousand regular soldiers in the military camp. If we don't rebel now, when will we rebel?
You don’t treat us as human beings, but you still want us to sacrifice our lives?
This idea came from the head of a certain more courageous signing army soldier, and then quickly infected the dozen or so signing army soldiers around him. The cold and hungry signing army soldiers huddled together, and the posture of discussion was very different. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's posture was no different back then.
"Staying here will lead to death sooner or later. If you rush out, there may be a way to survive. We don't have money to buy a way. If we don't rush out on our own, is there any other way?"
Under the suggestion of the daring signing soldier, a large number of people were angry and evil. On the evening of December 29, that is, the night before the New Year, they decided to do something. A big vote.
