By the time we had finished meeting the wealthy people in Suzhou City, it was already past the quarter of the Yin hour, and in half an hour it would be daybreak.
This was the result of Liu Bang later asking Xin Ciying, Zhong Lei and others to come together. If he had only relied on him alone, he might not be able to digest the enthusiasm of the Suzhou squires in three days.
But in general, the hard work has not been in vain. Not to mention the people I met today, the thirty or so members of the Yu family alone are already very attractive. Let’s talk about the news brought by the Min family... …
I don’t know how many soldiers’ lives can be saved and how much time can be saved.
The reception area was also moved from the courtyard to the courtyard. After the last person from the household left, Liu Bang stretched out and looked at the happy faces of the people in the room. He I couldn't help but be infected a little bit, and became a little happier.
"I think the officials have to find a way!"
Zhao Mi has been flattered countless times in his life, but this sentence truly embodies the word "sincere". He is holding a large stack of paper in his hand, which are all sent by the people of Suzhou. With these names and titles, it would only take a matter of time for Bozhou City to be taken down.
"Ask someone to make some food."
Liu Bang said this to Huang Yanjie. After working all night, he was already hungry, and it was almost time to have breakfast. After eating, he would have a good sleep.
At that time, you can start making arrangements.
Arrange some matters after the city is broken, including the defenders, the selection of chief officials, the comfort of the people, the fate of the prisoners, and most importantly, rewards based on merit.
The old eunuch received the order, and Liu Bang looked at the people in the room again:
"I actually didn't expect that there are so many things available right now."
"But even so, you three losers still stayed here for so long. I really didn't scold you wrong."
After a pause, he suddenly felt strange: "Where is Zhang Jun?"
Zhong Lei said softly: "Lieutenant Zhang can't help here. He is too old, so he went back to rest first... In total, he has been gone for almost two hours."
Liu Bang is not a rigid person. Zhang Jun is indeed of no use here, not as good as Huang Yanjie, so he can just leave.
He asked again: "So, do you have the idea of destroying the city? If so, come up with an idea first and discuss it together. Time is tight, so we should make a decision as soon as possible."
The emperor's question undoubtedly gave everyone a chance to show off. The reason why they couldn't break the city before was because there were only so many resources available, but it's different now. Breaking the city is just around the corner, and naturally there are many more. Something to say.
Liu Bang was very satisfied with their enthusiasm. He bypassed the most enthusiastic Guo Yaoshi and named Yang Yizhong and Zhao Mi first:
"If you want to atone for your sins, this is the only chance you two have, so it's up to you."
Both of them were naturally happy, and because Zhao Mi was older than Yang Yizhong, he was the first to stand up:
"When marching and fighting, there are nothing more than the right time, the right place, and the right people. Now that my army is here, the people are helping each other, and the right people are already there, and the right place..."
"The news sent by the Min clan leader is that if Cao Cao's troop transportation road under Bozhou City is really usable and can be used by me, then the Bozhou city defense is undoubtedly a false shelf. Our army is superior in numbers and equipment. There is absolutely no reason why this battle cannot be won.”
Xin Ciying interjected: "I think it must be true."
Liu Bang was a little curious. Although he also thought it was true, the reason was more because he felt that the Min family would not lie to him, because no one in his family could afford the price. He also didn't think that the Min family would The old patriarch would risk the lives of his own clan for Li Qiong.
However, Xin Ciying was so sure that he was a little surprised, so he asked:
"How can I see it?"
The man in the living room stroked his beard and thought: "The officials don't know it. I know the county and state chronicles of various places in the Song Dynasty. Bozhou's outstanding people and places will naturally not be ignored."
"Take the military transportation method as an example. There is no clear record in either the Han Dynasty or the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Instead, in the fifth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty set up the General Administration Office in Bozhou to take charge of Bo, Song and Song dynasties. , Ying, Shen, Qiao and other prefectures, in the seventh year of Wude, they were promoted to the governor's office."
"It was at that time that Bozhou was an important town in the Central Plains, and the military transportation road began to appear in the state records of the Tang Dynasty. However, by the time of Wu Fu, this matter was erased from the state records of Bozhou. ”
"Now that I think about it, I think that the troop transportation tunnel is still usable after a thousand years, and it was hidden as a high-level secret."
"If that's the case..." Liu Bang thought, "When the people of the Tang Dynasty saw such an underground tunnel, they would definitely not let it be abandoned. Maybe they even repaired it."
"But then Cao Mengde... what's the point of repairing this thing?"
No wonder Liu Bang was puzzled. In the history Lu Zai told, Cao Cao went from returning to his hometown to recruit troops to officially becoming a prince. It was only a few words. He didn't pay much attention to it at the time. After all, everyone liked the story. Listening to the refreshing results, the tedious process is naturally disliked by people.
Xin Ciying said: "It's not that difficult to guess...Although Bozhou is Wei Wu's hometown, he returned as a prisoner of the imperial court after all. If he wants to recruit troops, he must have the capital to recruit troops."
"After the troop transportation road is built, let the soldiers wear black armor to go out of the city, then enter the military road, change into yellow armor and come out. Repeatedly, it will give people the illusion of a powerful force. If the soldiers are scattered in the countryside, they will naturally be more willing to follow them. ”
This trick was used by Liu Bang when he was in Yingzhou. It frightened King Gaitian Han Chang to think that the people of Song Dynasty had sent magical soldiers from heaven, and he no longer had the intention to resist... Naturally, although Han Chang knew the inside story afterwards, he was not interested in his The Zhao Guan family became more and more respectful.
Now when Xin Ciying mentioned it, Han Chang's face turned red, and Liu Bang asked:
"You kid can't possibly infer this out of thin air. You must have heard about it elsewhere."
The hostess wanted to put on a show, but he didn't want the emperor to expose him directly. His face turned the color of Han Chang, and he just kept saying something like, "The old man of Bozhou has a story circulating," and "The things of scholars are not deceitful." Words like these fill the room with a happy atmosphere.
"So, it does make sense."
Han Chang paused and participated in this topic:
"When I was still young, I heard my father talk about Emperor Wu of Wei, and there was a story about how he borrowed Yin soldiers... It was said that Emperor Wu of Wei established two positions: General Faqiu Zhonglang and Mojin Xiaowei. One is to rob tombs in exchange for military supplies, and the other is to dig up the ground to borrow Yin soldiers."
"Since there is a tunnel in Bozhou, it must be that his Faqiu Zhonglang and Mojin Colonel used it to pretend to be undercover soldiers. After all, people came out of the underground to deceive some people who did not know the truth. normal."
Speaking of which, this effect is actually the same as what Xin Ciying said, but the boy surnamed Cao is indeed a talent for being able to play such a trick of using the virtual to make the real and the real to make the virtual.
Huang Yanjie has already brought some food, hot millet porridge, and Suzhou's local cypress wrapped with green onions... This is a dish specially ordered by Zhao Guan's family. He heard what the girl from the Yu family said and wanted to try it. .
The steaming white steam dispelled most of the chill in this early spring morning, and the fragrance spread to everyone's noses. For a while, the sounds in the Temple of the Five Internal Organs were heard one after another, making it very lively.
"Eat everything, take a good night's sleep, and then get down to business when you wake up."
After the emperor spoke, everyone no longer hesitated, and thought that they could share the meal with Zhao Guan's family... Although it was not the first time, it was still precious and they chewed it in small bites, trying to absorb the holy grace at this time. Remain in the mouth forever.
Liu Bang didn't pay much attention to it. He was eating and recalling useful news. The troop transportation route was undoubtedly the most important and effective. Plus the people of the Yu family and Wang De who had entered the city, it should be Waihe already has all the conditions.
And the bald Taoist priest...
We need to speed up to avoid being harassed by the two flies from the east and west.
He thought so.
