Compared with previous years, the "Return to the South" in the south came earlier this year.
It was just early February, and the humidity was already rising. Everywhere was wet, and it would slip if you were not careful when walking.
Let’s look at the rolling mountains of Wuzhi Mountain in Qiongzhou. Under the gray sky, they appear shadowy and indistinct. The mist hangs low between the mountains and the windy clouds disperse, as if you have entered a fairyland on earth.
Qi Yu suddenly stopped his horse, shook his raincoat, and looked ahead.
ah!
It’s so charming and exquisite!
It's a pity that the banquet turned into a smoky place. What a pity, what a pity!
But it doesn't matter, wait until I, Qi Dalang, regain this place and reorganize the rivers and mountains, so as to return to the bright and prosperous world of the past.
Yes, the time has come.
A miscellaneous army composed of the government army and the naturalized Japanese pirates has now arrived in Qiongnan and is approaching Wuzhi Mountain.
"Master Qi, please don't lie to me!"
Along the way, Harry kept asking about the specific situation, fearing that the trip would be a waste of time.
In fact, his choice of words is a bit inappropriate. It would be more appropriate to use "compensating for his wife and losing troops".
Qi Yu smiled and said: "You also know that I am a real person, how could I tell lies to deceive you? Ahem, it is rumored that there is indeed a grand ancient tomb hidden in this mountain range. There are even rumors that, There are so many funerary objects in this tomb, just the tip of an iceberg is enough for a lifetime."
After a pause, he continued: "In addition to these treasures, it is said that Na Yan's net worth is also quite high. There is enough evidence to show that he has looted a lot of food in the past. Well, I will reveal it again Let me give you a top-secret news. All the greedy money of the former magistrate was robbed by him! You said, wouldn’t it be a pity to leave such a fat sheep unslaughtered? "
The first half of the sentence was false, but the second half was true. Overall, it was a mixture of true and false, which made it difficult for Harry to distinguish.
Is the banquet still very rich? real or fake?
It is indeed true!
After the governor of Qiongzhou accidentally died in the line of duty, Na Yan took advantage of the leaderless situation to wait for an opportunity to rebel. The first thing he did was to bloodbath the private residence of the former governor, which resulted in a huge harvest.
Harry thought about it carefully and became more at ease again.
Haha, the future is very promising!
Gao Zhongde, the governor of the government army, did not think so. He felt that this military operation was simply nonsense.
What do you say?
Look, he is a general of the regular army, but now he is reduced to being with the Japanese pirates. If this spreads out, how embarrassing will it be?
well……
I was deceived by Mr. Qi...
According to what he said, there were indeed five thousand soldiers assisting the battle this time, but he never thought they were Fuso soldiers from the enemy.
What's even worse is that we have to fight together with them!
In response to this, Qi Yu gave him a psychological massage and explained to him: "Tsang said, stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. As long as I allow it, everything can be used for my use. What's wrong with that?"
All right!
Gao Zhongde sighed after hearing this and had no choice but to give up the appointment.
However, he was secretly observing to see if Lord Qi was proficient in military affairs.
It turned out that although Qi Yu was just a civil servant, he was familiar with daily military affairs, and all arrangements were handled properly without any chaos.
How did he know that Mr. Qi had actually led "soldiers" before. Moreover, he personally directed the so-called battle, but the scale and number of people were relatively small.
Yes, it was the previous battle in Shandong Juyeze.
For Qi Yu, it was fortunate that he had that experience to keep him at the bottom of the box. If he was asked to dispatch thousands of troops right from the start, he would not be able to handle it.
Everyone needs to grow and evolve step by step, even Qi Yu, a time traveler, is no exception.
Since it was currently a coalition of two parties, there were two commanders, Gao Zhongde and Harry. Adhering to the correct principle of working in one place, Qi Yu volunteered to be the leader of the operation this time.
There's nothing I can do about it. Who told those two guys not to prey on the other?
If there is no 'Martial Arts Leader' who can suppress them, this battle will be impossible to fight.
As a result, a strange official position came into being.
Qi Dalang proclaimed himself the commander-in-chief of the bandit suppression, taking charge of all powers, while Gao Zhongde and Harry were responsible for practical work.
Finally, the initiative was forced to pass.
…
Not long after, a scout suddenly visited the horse and reported: "To inform the commander-in-chief, our army has reached the bandit area and is less than thirty miles away from the main mountain of Wuzhi Mountain..."
Oh, so close?
Upon hearing this, Qi Yu hurriedly stopped the advance of the troops.
Gao Zhongde looked at the sky and suggested: "Commander-in-Chief, let's set up camp first. One person will organize the troops and horses, and the other person will make detailed arrangements."
"Yeah! Okay! Zha!"
Qi Yu is very self-aware about actual military arrangements. When he does not know the enemy's situation, he is more willing to adopt the advice of experts.
Following his order, the officers and soldiers under his command began to take action, setting up camp where it was necessary and cooking when it was time to cook.
Half an hour later.
In the newly built Chinese military tent, the first pre-war account discussion began.
Yes, how should we fight this battle?
Qi Yu waved his hand, indicating that everyone should express their opinions.
Gao Zhongde was the first to speak. He believed that in this battle, the infantry should charge in front and the crossbowmen would cover the rear, so as to completely suppress Nayan's resistance with the numerical advantage.
Harry thinks that this battle can be fought no matter what, the main thing is to seize the enemy's money and food.
"Well, let me think about it carefully..."
Qi Yu didn't dare to make a decision lightly, so he frowned.
To be honest, he really couldn't bear to crush them in a bloody and brutal way, even though he had a great chance of winning.
Mr. Qi's kindness as a woman?
of course not!
He felt that most of Na Yan's subordinates were local aboriginal people. They were originally simple and kind-hearted, but they went astray because they were desperate. If he directly ordered the killing, it would be too harmful to the world.
Besides, the people are precious!
No matter what the circumstances, the Chinese military should not raise a machete against its own people. This is the most basic moral bottom line.
But what if we don’t fight?
Haha, yes, try to recruit someone to surrender?
good!
Thinking of this, Qi Yu began to think.
Suddenly, he suddenly remembered the 'killing and killing' strategy adopted by the emperor when he attacked Le'an City in Shandong. In the end, the imperial court won the final victory at the smallest cost. Why not learn from it?
Well, it’s also good!
Of course, this link also requires the use of some well-timed strategies to help achieve success.
As far as the current Qiongzhou is concerned, the people are not yet enlightened, the ecology is primitive, and witchcraft is even prevalent. However, it can be seen from this that although the folk customs here are tough, they lack strategy.
Adhering to the strategic policy of using our strengths to overcome the enemy's weaknesses, the current situation should be a typical time to use surprise.
But how to use this strange thing?
Hey! Got it!
"General Gao!"
"The general is here!"
"Immediately send someone to send a letter of war to that banquet. The book advises him to surrender quickly so that I can give him a lighter punishment. If he is stubborn and tries to fly into the flames, our hundred thousand soldiers will surely step on him. Level up his Five Finger Mountain." Qi Yu's face straightened and he ordered.
Gao Zhongde first praised: "Master Qi is polite first and then soldiers. He is very admirable in the style of a Confucian general." Then he said: "What the general doesn't understand is that we clearly only have 10,000 troops, why do we claim to be 100,000? "
Qi Yu chuckled and explained: "The one hundred thousand people are called by the name! The title, do you understand? It is to make them timid before they fight and create fear." After a pause, he added: "Qiong people are more brave and less resourceful. , I just take advantage of their weakness to fight psychological warfare before the battle."
Oh, I understand, what the hell!
Qi Yu smiled warmly, turned to Harry and said, "Brother Ha, you immediately arrange for the men and order them to build a high platform outside the camp gate. The more conspicuous the better."
"Build a high platform? What's it for?"
"Haha, it's for your practice! How should I say, I just want you to perform the same trick you did in Shandong again here."
Deceiving people?
Harry was startled at first, and then said with emotion: "Well, ever since I learned the simple and crude way of doing things, I rarely use Taoism to influence people anymore..."
What, saying you are fat and swollen?
Qi Yu was too lazy to pay attention to him and hurriedly interrupted: "You don't know something. Qiongzhou is a place where Li, Miao, Yao and other ethnic groups live together... Since the education here is not deep, witchcraft is particularly popular. Brother Ha meets For this reason, why don’t you show off your strengths?”
It seems that some are feasible.
Harry smacked his lips, nodded and said, "Okay, tell me, how do you want me to pretend? What should I pretend to be?"
Qi Yu smiled knowingly, and then whispered to him...
