Wang Zhene lowered his head and said softly: "It's true that nothing can escape Brother Jinu's eyes. You can see my little thoughts right away."
Liu Yu said calmly: "Let me ask you first, do you really think there will be demon bandit troops in Nantang? How can they cross the Qinhuai River channel, cross the blockages, spikes and sunken boats we have arranged, What about those who came directly to kill?"
Wang Zhen'e sighed: "Actually, you also know that Jiankang City is too big and there are all kinds of secret passages. I am afraid that the demons and gang members of the Tiandao Alliance have been lurking in the city for a long time, just waiting for the cooperation between the inside and the outside. In the past month, they have been attacking fiercely. They attacked almost all directions, and even tried to land in the Jingkou Garlic Mountain area, and the Da Zhuang brothers and Jingkou Yiyong fought back. Even in the Shogunate Mountain area, they tried to attack three times, and the only one who failed to take action was Qin Huai. In the direction of the river, even if there are sunken ships, wooden piles and iron locks, I don’t even try them once. Isn’t it strange?”
Liu Yu nodded: "It's really strange, so this is the direction they really want to attack. Is that how you judge it too."
Wang Zhene curled his lips and said seriously: "But you have expected this a long time ago, but you have never really laid down heavy troops here, or prepared an ambush. Do you have other plans?"
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "Now that I have suppressed the evil, I won't hide it from you. Yes, what I really want to destroy is not the troops after the demon thieves landed. Lu Xun and Xu Daofu are unlikely to do so. I came here in person, but the real thief in the city who is assisting them is very likely to show up here to assist the army of demon thieves. What I really want to eliminate is this big thief!"
Wang Zhene took a deep breath: "I understand, you want all the spies in the city to be fully mobilized and exposed before you take action."
Liu Yu said seriously: "I'm not sure that the demon thieves will definitely come in from here, but this is something I must guard against. Therefore, I can't set up a large army here. A few thousand men and horses are enough. With Xu Chite's magic In the arrow assault camp, there are Shen Linzi's Wu soldiers and Liu Zhong's troops, all of whom are elites of our army. They set up fences early to defend, making it difficult for the enemy to attack. In addition, there are Suo Miao and Duan Hong's tiger-striped troops. The cavalry can be used as a cavalry assault force or as a walking armored soldier. It is difficult for the demon thieves to break through."
"Once the demon thieves find it difficult to break through from the front, but can see some hope, their internal responses in the city may be fully activated. This is when I really want to kill them all. Suppress evil, this plan, Now only you and I know, no one else knows, the reason why I don’t let you defend Nantang is so that you can execute this most important blow in the city at the most critical moment."
Wang Zhen'e gritted his teeth and said, "I understand, once there are traitors who start to attack the city, or attack our army's vertical fence from the inside of the south city, and want to cooperate with the demon thieves inside and outside, then I will take action to catch all these traitors! I will It is estimated that there should be three thousand dead soldiers among the traitors in the city. If we expect the enemy to be wide, let's calculate it as five thousand people."
Liu Yu nodded: "It should be these numbers. It can't be much more, but it will never be just a few hundred people. If even Xile can usually put down more than 10,000 lurking people, this Tiandao Alliance will Not to mention. Therefore, you need about 7,000 troops to destroy this enemy force."
Wang Zhen'e said in a deep voice: "I only have 2,000 troops in my headquarters now, and I am responsible for protecting the security inside and outside the palace. If you want me to use 7,000 troops to quell the rebellion, you have to give me another 5,000 troops. "
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "I can't give you five thousand men. Once I give it to you, the traitor will know everything and will definitely not act rashly. Our army has been in the city for the past few days, even though it has been constantly changing its defenses and changing the numbers of its troops. , and even kept breaking up and mixing them up to escape the enemy's eyes and ears, but I think that the regular troops of the Beifu Army, including the original Su Wei Army, are well known to the enemy. No matter how they break up and mix up, which troops are stationed there It’s clear where they are and how many troops there are.”
Wang Zhen'e said in a deep voice: "So, I can't use ready-made troops, right? Brother Jinu, you have been preparing an ambush for this matter?"
Liu Yu nodded and took a deep breath: "Exactly, but this team is not mine, but in the hands of Mrs. Xie. To be precise, they are the Blood Shadow Guards of the Xie family, plus one hundred and twenty The guardian warriors of nine small and medium-sized families."
Wang Zhene took a breath of air: "What, the last protective force of these aristocratic families? They can't possibly bring out their men and horses for us to use, otherwise who will protect their safety?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "There are still five thousand bearded archers in the palace, which is enough to protect them. However, if these wealthy families are willing to use their personal defense forces to fight, they are protected by us soldiers. It is not an easy task. Mrs. Xie has spent a lot of time on this in the past month. Thanks to our performance in front of the Ancestral Temple at that time, these aristocratic families were relieved and willing to use their own security forces. For our use.”
Wang Zhene suddenly realized: "I understand, this extra-staff force is not within the scope of the army. I'm afraid it will be temporarily managed by Xie Hui, and Xu Xianzhi will also manage it on his behalf."
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, it usually looks like they are just the guards and government servants led by Xie Hui to patrol the city, but in fact these people are the core personal guards of the major families. They are all highly skilled in martial arts and have profound knowledge. Hide or not, as long as they put on armor and distribute weapons, they will soon form an army with strong combat effectiveness. I leave this matter to you, I need you to complete it as quickly as possible."
Wang Zhene gritted his teeth: "Brother Jinu, do you really believe in me for such an important matter? Are you so willing to let me complete it alone?"
Liu Yu sighed: "The reason why I ask you to complete it is because of your special status. You are the world-famous Northern Zhuge, the grandson of Prime Minister Wang Meng, and a descendant of the Bohai Wang family. You have a distinguished status. In the eyes of the children of those aristocratic families, , they are different from us Qiuba who are from country bumpkin background. If they were asked to accept Tieniu's command, I'm afraid most of them would refuse, but if they accept yours, they won't feel humiliated. Moreover, you have been promoted by FireWire Duan Hong, naturally if I follow you this time, I will also have the opportunity to gain more glory and wealth. They are all smart people and know how to choose and how to behave!"
Liu Yu said this and handed a black iron token to Wang Zhene: "Go to see Mrs. Xie, give this to her, and tell her that it's time!"
