"Suppressing bandits?"
When everyone heard Zhao Ping's plan, their eyes widened in shock.
Finally, all eyes fell on Xia Quan.
He is the head of the escort agency, and he is considered the number one person under Zhao Ping.
But before Xia Quan could speak, a deep voice came from the corner.
"Suppression."
"Kill those dogs who entered."
It's money six.
His parents were killed by bandits, and he hated the bandits deeply.
When he heard that Zhao Ping wanted to suppress the bandits, he did not hesitate to support him.
Followed by Liu Mengru.
She didn't know when there was another stick in her hand.
The general's majesty jumped up and said coldly: "Suppression, must be suppressed."
"If the banditry is not eliminated, the people will not have a good life."
"Now His Majesty is sympathetic to the sufferings of the people and has pardoned the taxes of our Yun'an County. However, those bandits have increased the compensation fee to 50%. Isn't this trying to force the people to death?"
"When people are desperate, they are most likely to riot."
"If there is a rebellion, we in Yun'an County will be rebels. If His Majesty gives the order to suppress the rebellion, we will also be implicated."
"And since our family has a big business now, sooner or later the bandits will take care of us."
"It's better to take advantage of this opportunity to completely solve the banditry problem."
Zhao Ping nodded.
Liu Mengru is the Flying Eagle General. Even though she has forgotten many things, the concept of suppressing bandits is still engraved in her mind.
And he also understood the impact of banditry on a dynasty.
However, Zhao Ping did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked Xia Quan, "Quanzi, you are the escort leader. Do you think we should suppress the bandits?"
"I……"
Xia Quan paused.
If it were him before, he would definitely refuse without hesitation.
Just kidding, if an ordinary citizen wants to suppress bandits, what is the difference between that and seeking death?
But since learning Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-Six Strategies from Zhao Ping, Xia Quan's confidence has also grown a bit.
Moreover, suppressing bandits is a good thing that benefits the country and the people.
If Heifeng Village is eliminated, at least Xia Village and Xiping Village will be infested by bandits again.
Without that 10% of resettlement expenses, how many lives could be saved during the winter?
After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said: "The bandits should be suppressed."
"But it must be resolved quickly."
"oh?"
Zhao Ping said in surprise: "Have you even thought about how to fight?"
"No."
Xia Quan said a little shyly: "Brother Ping taught me the art of war before, but I am not a general, so I can't go to the battlefield for actual combat."
"Treat the bandits as imaginary enemies and simulate the suppression of bandits in your mind."
"But the bandits are not alone. The three waves of bandits in Yun'an County cooperate with each other."
"If we want to attack Heifeng Village, we must do it quickly."
"Otherwise, when the other two waves of bandits react, they will surround us, and what awaits us will be disaster."
Zhao Ping nodded, "It's very comprehensive."
"Then what's the quick fix?"
After receiving Zhao Ping's approval, Xia Quan became more energetic and recounted the simulated battle situation in his mind.
"Heifeng Village is the largest force in our Yun'an County."
"There are seven heads among them, and each of them has nearly twenty bandits."
"Master is the only one who specializes in giving advice to Black Wind Village."
"The rest are all maids and servants who were taken captive."
"The number of people with real combat effectiveness should be around 150."
"And we have thirteen archers here. Leaving aside those who don't have the courage to confront the bandits, there should be eight left."
"The Escort Bureau has recruited more than thirty young men, but most of them are ordinary people. There may not be many people who dare to fight with the bandits, but under the heavy reward, there must be brave men. As long as Brother Ping is willing to spend money, he can recruit twenty people Not a problem.”
"Even if Huzi and Sister-in-law both participated in the battle, the number of people would be very different."
"So we can't fight head-on, we can only outsmart ourselves."
"I plan to use the strategy of capturing the thief and the king, and send Liu Muyun to sneak into Heifeng Village from the back mountain of Tuoling Peak and set fire to cause chaos."
"We will send archers to take the opportunity to sneak into the mountains and kill the leaders of Black Wind Village."
"As long as they die and Black Wind Village is leaderless, if we send people from the escort agency to kill them, they will definitely be defeated."
"Not bad, the plan is well thought out."
Zhao Ping nodded, "According to your opinion, what are our chances of winning?"
"Fifty percent."
Xia Quan said.
Zhao Ping said unexpectedly: "You have such a thorough plan, how come you only have a 50% chance of winning?"
Xia Quan explained: "It is mainly reflected in three aspects."
"First, whether Liu Muyun can successfully break into Heifeng Village and set fire to it is very critical."
"Once an accident occurs or someone is captured by a thief, no matter how good the plan is, there is no way to implement it."
"Secondly, it is difficult to predict whether the archers can hit the leaders of Heifeng Village."
"Although our archers' arrow skills are very accurate, it is night when we have to deal with Black Wind Village, the visibility is not good, and none of us know the leaders, so we can only judge from the scene."
"If you shoot the wrong person, or if you don't kill all of them at once."
"When they organize their manpower, it will be impossible for those of us to capture Black Wind Stronghold."
"Third, we have too few people."
"We only have 30 people in full force. To deal with a hundred and fifty bandits, we are still on the offensive side. Even if things go very smoothly up front, it is still very difficult to break through Black Wind Stronghold."
"That's why I said a 50% winning rate."
"This won't work. The 50% winning rate is too low."
Zhao Ping shook his head, "We need to find a perfect solution."
"Is fifty percent still less?"
Xia Quan retorted: "You know, in the past, only bandits tortured and killed us."
"How can ordinary people like us dare to resist?"
"It's Brother Ping's teachings during this period that gave us a little confidence."
"Let alone a 50% winning rate, even if it is only a 20% winning rate, we are still willing to give it a try."
"good."
Liu Mengru also followed suit: "As people of the Dawei Dynasty, it is our responsibility to exterminate the bandits."
"What's more, a 50% winning rate is already very high."
"Ms. sir, if you are afraid of death, I will lead the team to suppress the bandits this time, and Quanzi will be the deputy general."
"If the Black Wind Stronghold is not leveled, I will come to see you with my head raised."
"What are you talking about?!"
Zhao Ping said angrily: "I have taught you so many times in daily life, have you forgotten it?"
"The best policy is to subjugate the enemy without fighting."
"Our escort bureau has very few manpower right now. We will attack the bandits without losing anything if we can."
"So you still have to use your brain more."
"Quanzi, you are quite familiar with the terrain in this area. Can you lead me to Tuoling Peak to see if there is anything I can use?"
"No, it's too dangerous."
Liu Mengru protested.
"I'm not getting close, I'm just hanging around."
Zhao Ping said with a smile: "Besides, we are riding horses, and Huzi and Quanzi are with us. Even if we encounter bandits, we can escape safely."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm here to ensure that Brother Ping will be safe and sound."
Li Hu slapped his chest so loudly that it rang loudly.
Liu Mengru knew that it was difficult to change what Zhao Ping decided.
And she also wants to eliminate the bandits as soon as possible.
Let Zhao Ping wander around for a while, and he might be able to think of a way to defeat the enemy without fighting.
Plus with Li Hu here, safety is no problem.
Liu Mengru agreed.
In this way, Zhao Ping, three people and three horses, walked slowly towards Tuoling Peak.
At this time, Xu Tianhua came to the county official's office.
The county official's surname is Qi, and his name is Qi Liang.
After Xu Tianhua revealed his identity, he immediately apologized and said with a smile: "Shangguan invites you inside. I wonder if Shangguan is here at my humble residence. What advice can you give me?"
"The bandits have increased the security fee to 50%, do you know?"
"I know, this matter has spread throughout Yun'an County, and your subordinates must also know about it."
"Since you know it, why don't you suppress the bandits?"
Xu Tianhua said with a cold face: "I am ordering you to send troops to suppress the bandits immediately."
