Fang Shiqing gave him a hard look.
He was in a bad mood again. But he didn't dare to show his face, so he could only keep his grievances in his heart. Luo Wenpeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Could this be a joke?
In fact, he knew in his heart that although his worries were reasonable, Zhu Chongjiu was a bandit, and the bandit's occupation was to burn, kill and loot. He would definitely not stop taking action just because the county soldiers were new recruits. On the contrary, he would do it even more viciously.
As an officer and soldier, he was at odds with the bandits, so what he was thinking about was how to fight. Even if his body was wrapped in horse leather, what would he have to fear? After thinking about it, he said seriously:
"The county magistrate taught you rightly, but I failed to consider it."
"Zhu Chongjiu could rob our county once, twice, or three times. There will be a fierce battle between us and the bandits sooner or later."
"A fierce battle is inevitable. We are not like Zhu Dachang and others to be slaughtered. As officers and soldiers, county soldiers, we have the responsibility to defend the land and the people. If the bandits attack, we should fight to the death."
"The outcome of the battle is also very simple. Either he dies or I die. Life or death is 50-50."
Kong Fang did not hesitate to give him a hundred likes! The battle will of the military commander is very important in winning or losing on the battlefield.
"I think Zhu Chongjiu will be furious when he learns that senior brother Zhong's plan to mistrust his troops caused him to fall short. Bandits all have this kind of character."
“Anger makes people lose their minds easily.”
"Zhu Chongjiu, who lost his mind, could not have thought that we had already dug a hole and were waiting for him. This is one of the things we rely on to win."
"We have a small number of people, and most of them are new soldiers. However, Zhu Chongjiu's men are wolf soldiers and desperadoes. The disparity in strength will make him arrogant. Arrogant soldiers will lose, and this is the second basis for our victory. "
Of course, he did not mention the third key to victory. That's his trump card.
"As long as we arrange it properly and fight against the odds, we will definitely be able to defeat the many with the few, and the weak with the strong!..."
Kong Fang shook his head, stroking his non-existent goatee, and kept talking. It would be even more perfect if he had a feather fan in his hand.
Fang Shiqing's eyes flashed, and his expression quickly returned to cold.
She agreed with Kong Fang's analysis and plan, but she still didn't like the man who was forced on her by her father. She is a woman of unparalleled elegance and grace, and her man should be a hero.
The light in Fang Shiyi's eyes flashed away, and her brother-in-law's image became taller again. Luo Wenpeng was thoughtful, thinking that this sour scholar might really have two skills.
In the end, Kong Fang's plan to suppress bandits was approved unanimously 4:0.
Kong Fang felt a little embarrassed.
Although I don't know anything about military affairs, watching war movies is not for nothing. In addition, I don't know the knowledge that is thousands of years ahead of the Daxing Dynasty people. If I can't play with them anymore, I might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill them.
The next step is to refine the details of the plan and then conduct targeted drills on each detail. After all, this is a battle with huge disparity in strength, and a small oversight may ruin the entire plan.
If the battle fails, Kong Fang is worried that his head will be lost. It had only been a few days since he traveled to Daxing Dynasty, and he had not even touched his beautiful wife. He didn't want to die so early.
Kong Fangfang was busy sharpening his knife.
As for Zhu Chongmu, he traveled around Qinghe County disguised as a rice merchant, and spent several taels of silver to find out from a teahouse waiter that no officers and soldiers had ever come to Qinghe County.
The so-called three thousand officers and soldiers were nothing more than Lieutenant Luo, who had returned to his hometown to visit his relatives, to spread suspicion and frighten the bandits. Storytellers had already compiled the story of Lieutenant Luo's thirty personal soldiers who outwitted the bandits into a book.
"Here, we are talking." The waiter pointed at the storyteller who was spitting.
Zhu Chongmu listened carefully, and sure enough, the storyteller was telling the story of Lieutenant Luo's thirty-year-old personal soldiers who defeated the mountain bandits. With a broken mouth and a sharp tongue, he forcibly turned the unknown little captain into a wise and capable general.
Zhu Chongmu said he had no objection.
Although he was a mountain bandit and had not seen much of the world since he was a child living in a poor ravine, he knew that book readers always made money by relying on their bad mouth.
He was angry that the storyteller actually described his idol brother Zhu Chongjiu, who was wise, mighty and famous all over the world, as a bandit as stupid as a donkey and as timid as a mouse.
The accomplice reached for his waist, where a short knife was hidden.
Zhu Chongmu hinted that he should be patient and calm. Killing the storyteller would give him a sigh of relief, but it would also expose himself.
Tolerate!
Must endure! He warned himself and his brothers.
He asked the clerk to continue talking about the situation in Qinghe County, and the clerk did his best and did not hide anything.
At present, Qinghe County can only fight thirty soldiers. Although there are three hundred county soldiers, the newly recruited mud-legged soldiers are poor and naive. It is estimated that they have not even learned to hold a knife yet.
The new county magistrate is a white-faced little scholar and a son-in-law who knows nothing except being afraid of his wife (this inside information was obtained by the teahouse clerk because of the white money he made, and regarded it as The inside story was exposed to Zhu Chongmu for free.)
This inside story may seem like gossip, but it’s actually quite valuable. If the imperial court sends a capable general to take charge of Qinghe County, even if he cannot stop the bandits from attacking the city in the end, it will definitely cause the bandits to suffer heavy losses.
Zhu Chongmu kept the news in his mind. In order not to reveal his identity, he endured his anger when he heard about the book man's story and remembered his appearance.
He planned to cut off the storyteller's tongue and drink it first after capturing the county seat.
After coming out of the teahouse, they bought a cart of rice and hurried back to the mountain. Returning to Litou Mountain, he told Zhu Chongjiu all the information he had collected.
Zhu Chongjiu's face turned red and black for a while, his chest heaved and he breathed heavily through his nostrils.
"Shu Zi!" He slapped the log tea table in pieces.
"Brother..." The second eldest brother Zhu Chongshui, the third eldest brother Zhu Chongzhu, and the fourth eldest brother Zhu Chongmu stared at the eldest brother Zhu Chongjiu, not hiding their greed.
"Come into the county town and get back our food, money, and women. We also want to capture Luo Wenpeng alive. I will light his sky lantern at the gate tower of Qinghe County!"
Zhu Chongjiu was furious.
There was no entertainment in Daxing morning and evening, and the whole county fell into silence as soon as it got dark. Fang Shiqing personally brought the county soldiers and Luo Wenpeng's soldiers to Wengcheng quietly and started busy.
The urn city is one of the main defense facilities of ancient cities. It is a semicircular or square gated town built outside the city gate to strengthen the defense of a castle or pass.
Although Qinghe County was not a battleground for military strategists, it was an important grain-producing county in the Daxing Dynasty, and a barbican city was built to prevent banditry.
It is a pity that since Zhu Dachang took office, he only cared about the common people, enriched himself, and neglected to take precautions. The city defense had long been abandoned, so that Zhu Chongjiu easily captured Ruodaqinghe County without any effort, and Zhu Dachang finally paid the price for his greed.
Kong Fang took a fancy to Wengcheng at a glance, and he wanted to play a big show of catching turtles in the urn.
