"Sure."
Tian Zhen got up and said, "My father sent Butler Zhou to deliver the letter personally. By the time the letter was delivered, they had already gathered more than 130 people."
"I just left the county town at that time. I came here on a fast horse."
"Their large army will march a little slower, but they will be able to reach Xiping Village in about half an hour."
Only more than a hundred people?
Zhao Ping breathed a sigh of relief again.
Although Zuo Zhigang and others have not returned from suppressing the bandits, there are still more than 200 bodyguards in Xiping Village.
Including the recently recruited bandit troops, there are more than 400 people.
What's more, with only more than two hundred people, they wiped out more than a thousand bandits in Yishui Village, showing extraordinary combat power.
Liu Wenhao only brought more than 130 people, less than 200 people.
Knowing the news in advance, with a little ambush, they can be caught in one fell swoop.
Zhao Ping didn't take it seriously at all.
However, even if a lion fights a rabbit, he knows how to use all his strength. Zhao Ping did not ask for help and asked Mu Qiaoqiao to ask people to gather in the conference room for the meeting.
"Brother, how do you know so clearly? Could it be that you have placed people around Liu Wenhao?"
After Zhao Ping left, Mu Jianzhang approached Tian Zhen and asked curiously.
"Is this something you, a guest, should ask about?"
Tian Zhen said angrily.
But Mu Qiaoqiao explained it for him.
"Sir, not only does he know Liu Wenhao's movements, he also knows everything about you and Zheng Tu's movements."
"Otherwise, why do you think someone would transport alcohol from the place where Zheng Tu and the others ambush?"
"Besides, the Acacia wine was brought directly to Xiping Village by Wine Officer Xu. There was no transportation at all. It was all Mr.'s plan."
"Even if someone really needs acacia wine and needs to deliver wine, it is impossible to poison the wine."
hiss!
Mu Jianzhang took a breath of air.
Sure enough, everything was planned by Mr.
So resourceful!
Mu Jianzhang looked at Zhao Ping's turned back and admired secretly.
Maybe it would be a good choice to follow your husband, at least you can learn a lot of strategies from him.
Whether you are doing business or fighting, you can use it.
Arrogant heart actually relaxed a little at this moment.
Mu Jianzhang hurriedly shook his head secretly, no, my father is the crown prince. If he found out that I followed an ordinary citizen, oh, forget it now, Zhao Ping was personally appointed as the seventh-grade wine tasting officer by His Majesty, but then There is not much difference from civilians.
If my father finds out about this, I'm afraid he will be removed from my Mu family.
Moreover, those friends who play with him in the capital will also laugh out loud.
But what would Zheng Tu and the others do if they didn't follow Zhao Ping?
If Zhao Ping kills him, he will probably be torn into pieces if he returns to Beijing.
Forget it, give Zhao Ping another chance.
If he could easily defeat Liu Wenhao, he would have one more reason to follow him.
What's more, my cousin is still here.
The father had no children, so he doted on his cousin as if he were his own daughter.
As long as my cousin asks for mercy, my father will probably forgive her.
The worst thing to do is to bribe this cousin more in the future.
Zhao Ping and others ignored his changing thoughts, got dressed, and went to the living room for a meeting.
Everyone is already there.
Xia Quan was not on the escort side, it was Yun Man who led the team, assisted by Mao Shiba.
The female soldiers are still led by Gao Yu.
The tall and fierce trapped camp was also pulled out alone, but the brave fat man was hard to find. Today, there are still more than fifty people, not even sixty.
But since Mu Shangwu provided iron, a lot of twenty-pound axes have been made.
Already equipped to forty people.
Of course, the only one who can hold a meeting here is Captain Gao Meng.
Xia Yang and Liu Muyun are both Xia Quan's apprentices. One is good at concealing himself and doing investigation work, and the other is good at archery, second only to Xia Quan. Naturally, they both participated in the meeting.
Zhao Ping didn't talk nonsense, he went straight to the point, briefly explained the matter, and then asked for everyone's suggestions.
Everyone turned their attention to Liu Muyun.
He is good at investigation, and when Liu Wenhao attacks, he must have the most detailed information.
To paraphrase what Zhao Ping Ping said, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will be victorious in any battle.
Only by understanding the enemy's situation can we take the best response.
Liu Muyun did not disappoint everyone and said with a smile: "The news came before our meeting that Liu Wenhao and his 134 people are still ten kilometers away from Xiping Village."
"According to their speed, it will take almost half an hour to reach Xiping Village."
"There are one hundred domestic slaves among them, and the other thirty or so are people brought by Liu Wenhao from the capital."
"We inquired about the situation some time ago, and there were two young masters among them."
"One is Liu Wenhao, the eldest son of the Minister of Hubu, and the other is Yun Chengze, the second son of the Minister of War."
"The rest are followers."
"But the combat power should be pretty good."
"Like Liu Jia, he can swing his sword to deflect three arrows that were shot at him at the same time. His combat power should be as good as Hu Zi's."
"This is the only useful information for now."
"So, there are at least two masters of Huzi's level among them."
Gao Yu was the first to speak, "In this case, we can't attack by force, we can only ambush them."
"We have catapults in hand, and we also have stones prepared in advance."
"Just transport these things to the ambush site, wait for the enemy to get close, and rain rocks down on them directly."
"No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you will still be smashed to pieces."
Ever since he used the catapult, Gao Yu particularly admired that thing. It was simply a weapon of war.
A flying stone can penetrate the city wall.
It can be imagined that it falls on people.
Everyone else nodded.
After all, they are all rough men and not good at strategy.
It would be an understatement to say that he was brave and foolhardy.
In other words, Xia Quan and Ruan Wendi can summarize something of their own from "The Art of War" and "Thirty-Six Strategies".
Like Gao Meng and Mao Shiba, they are solid warriors.
Yun Man, Xia Yang and Liu Muyun are illiterate. They are both hunters, so they can hide in the dark and shoot cold arrows.
There is no way for them to make any suggestions.
Fortunately, they were obedient enough to hit wherever Zhao Ping pointed without any hesitation.
"How do you know which way Liu Wenhao took to enter the village?"
Just when Gao Yu was about to continue speaking, a crisp voice came from outside the door.
Liu Mengru followed him and walked out neatly dressed.
She was seen wearing bright silver armor, with a hood on her head, and holding a bright silver gun. She looked like a god of war.
Zhao Ping's eyes lit up when he saw it.
This is the drawing he took the time to make, and handed it over to Zhang Jiuya to create the armor specially for Liu Mengru.
Unlike the battle armor of the Dawei Dynasty, it only has the upper body.
The suit of armor he drew protects his face from head to toe, leaving only a pair of eyes for fighting.
It would be even more perfect if it was equipped with bulletproof glass.
It's a pity that Zhao Ping still hasn't figured out how to make glass. He only knows about burning glass.
It should be heated to melt the sand and extract the glass.
I also studied chemistry in high school, but when it comes to glass, it’s silica.
But that's all I know.
Zhao Ping tried burning the sand in a blacksmithing stove, but it did not melt.
It should be that the temperature cannot be reached.
We can only wait until we recruit available talents, and then work together to find ways to increase the temperature of the furnace to forge glass.
This set of armor has been made for three days, but Liu Mengru has not worn it.
The reason is no war, no armor.
Otherwise it is unlucky.
Today, she learned that Liu Wenhao had brought people to attack Xiping Village at night, and she actually took the initiative to put on the armor, which really surprised Zhao Ping.
But my daughter-in-law looks so handsome in her armor.
There is quite a sense of valor and heroic appearance.
As expected of a general.
Gao Yu also watched with enthusiasm, imagining that one day he could put on the armor and go into battle to kill the enemy.
Xia Yang, Yun Man, and Liu Muyun only felt that Liu Mengru in this state felt worshiped.
No, Mao Shiba and Gao Meng were the first to kneel down and worship.
But the two are also different.
Being tall and fierce is the demeanor of being in awe of a general.
But Mao Shiba said excitedly: "General, are you going to Beijing to face the saint and seek justice for your dead brother?"
"That matter is not urgent."
Liu Mengru said indifferently: "Since sir promised to help me find the real culprit behind the scenes, let's just wait."
"You have to believe in Sir's strategy."
"Once the identity of the mastermind behind this is confirmed, this general will take you to chop off the opponent's head together to pay homage to the heroic spirits of our dead soldiers."
"Yes, the general will be waiting."
Mao Shiba answered respectfully.
Then Liu Mengru looked at Gao Yu and repeated what she just said, "Gao Yu, the strategy you mentioned is indeed good, but you ignored one point."
"Our Xiping Village did not build a city wall or a fortress."
"The entire village is exposed to the outside. Although it is connected to Xia Village through the factory area, it is surrounded by cultivated land and there are more than ten roads. How do you determine which road Liu Wenhao will take that you have prepared in advance? ?”
"this……"
Gao Yu couldn't answer, so he could only ask for advice: "Since the general said so, he should have a countermeasure."
"Please ask the general to clarify my doubts."
