Li Hao explained: "They don't want to come out now because they think there are heavy troops outside and there is no shortage of food and grass, so it is unnecessary. Then we will give them a reason to send troops."
Gu Tingye asked: "What is the reason for them to take the initiative, and what does it have to do with us?"
Li Hao replied: "Think about it, these bandits are now trapped in one place, and they will die if they wait any longer.
If there is an opportunity to break the situation at this time, they will not let it go. As for you, this is the opportunity to break the situation.
Just imagine if they could catch you all, would the army below still dare to attack? I'm really not afraid of retaliation from your family. "
Hearing what Li Hao said, Yang Wenyuan clapped his hands and said, "Yes, if he knew the identities of us people, he would definitely want to arrest us.
If we are captured then, firstly it can be used as a deterrent; secondly, it can also be used as an opportunity to see if we can be recruited by the imperial court, and there will be no harm at all. "
Hearing this, everyone else nodded, but Yuan Wenshao said: "This is a way, but how can we let the thieves know the news without knowing that we spread it deliberately.
Besides, while we are staying in the camp, those bandits may not dare to come. "
Gu Tingye answered: "It's not difficult to spread the news. Those bandits must have placed spies in Linchuan. They just need to find a way to reveal their identities in the county."
Li Hao also added: "That's the truth. It just so happened that Zhu Liangzu and the others were tired of staying in the camp, so we gave them a holiday.
Let them go to Linchuan to play for a few more days and cause trouble. The thieves will naturally know the news by then, and there is no need to spread it deliberately. "
After hearing Li Hao's words, several people thought about it and thought it was feasible.
So Gu Tingye said: "The first problem is solved, the second problem is how to divide the camp with Xie Youde and where we want to move."
At this time, Li Hao led everyone to the map and said: "It's easy to find an excuse to move the camp, but the choice of location is very important.
After all, our troops are limited and we may not be able to deal with the rebels alone, so the location we choose must be some distance away from Xie Youde, but not too far away, so that it is convenient for them to come and encircle us. "
So everyone looked at the map to discuss the location, and finally decided to move the camp to the Hebu area. It was some distance away from the mountains but not far away, so the bandits would not be suspicious.
Moreover, it was not far from Xie Youde, only twenty miles away. As long as he persisted for a few hours, reinforcements could be brought.
Of course, before final confirmation, we still need to send scouts to take a look on the spot.
After the general idea came out, Li Hao asked Xu Ning and Gu Tingye to discuss the specific details, so that he would not have to think about it again.
But in the end, Li Hao still warned: "It's okay for us people to know about this matter for the time being. Don't inform Xie Youde for the time being. We will inform you when we are about to take action."
After hearing this, everyone understood that Li Hao did not trust Xie Youde's confidentiality. After all, there were many local troops there, and it was normal for some spies to be mixed in.
In contrast, the imperial camp army does not have this problem. It is composed of the upper four armies and noble generals from various families, and the rebels are not able to deploy people.
After speaking, Li Hao asked them to go back to discuss, but at this time Gu Tingye asked: "Do you want to tell Zhu Liangzu and the others about this?"
After hearing this, everyone stopped and looked at Li Hao.
Li Hao thought for a while and replied: "Don't tell me for now. When they go to the county seat, some of you will go with them.
Then bring their generals with them, so that they can be safe, and at the same time, they can create the aura of noble disciples, killing two birds with one stone. "
After that, everyone understood and went down together to discuss the specific details.
The next day, when Li Hao sent Zhu Liangzu and the others to patrol the camp, Gu Tingye and the others came for them.
He told Li Hao the plan discussed by several people, and also added a few points.
That is how to stop the rebels from escaping, and how to stop the rebels outside the mountain and wipe them out in one fell swoop.
As for the plan, Shitou will lead the people to hide in the mountains first, and after the rebel army passes, they will guard their retreat channel and wait for the encirclement of subsequent soldiers and horses.
But Li Hao had a question about this: "There are only three hundred people on the other side of the stone. Are they too few? They may not be able to stop them."
Gu Tingye explained: "We have also considered this, but it is difficult for Xie Youde's people to mobilize in advance to avoid leaking the news.
As for us here, because there are not enough men and horses, if the bandits get the news, they will use all their strength to attack. In this way, we cannot divide our troops, otherwise it will be really troublesome to break through. "
Li Hao then asked: "Then what are you going to do? I don't believe you will look at the stone and run to die..."
Gu Tingye replied: "There is a way, but it may cause you some trouble. It depends on whether you are willing."
When Li Hao heard this, he asked curiously: "What can I do? Let's talk about it first?"
Gu Tingye said: "Shitou can choose mountain trails to defend the mountain. As long as we delay some time and let them set up checkpoints, we won't need too many people. Just a few elites will be enough."
After hearing this, Li Hao understood that Gu Tingye had made plans for various generals.
So he said: "Jingli, how many people do you want me to find? And if you ask them for people, won't the news reach Zhu Liangzu and the others?"
Gu Tingye replied: "Actually, you don't have to come forward to ask for people directly. We will discuss it with them. As long as you come forward to type the layout in the end.
As for keeping it secret, don't worry, there are many people here who are determined to make contributions, and I promise not to leak the information to anyone who shouldn't know.
But after all, they are going deep into the hinterland. This group of people may be attacked from two sides at the same time. The losses may not be too small. When you return to Bianjing, you may not be able to explain it easily. "
Hearing this, Li Hao said: "If it's just this, you don't have to worry. As long as you win the battle and make contributions, I can still accept this."
After hearing Li Hao's answer, Gu Tingye said: "Then I'm relieved. Let us arrange the rest."
After Li Hao asked about this matter, he asked how to unite with Xie Youde's department.
Gu Tingye replied: "We have discussed that the rebels will not know all of us anyway, so we will let Cheng Guosheng and Yang Wenyuan stay with Xie Youde.
After getting the news from us, the two of them urged Xie Youde to send troops to support and ensured that Xie Youde would do his best. "
Seeing that Gu Tingye and the others had already considered the matter, he agreed, letting them go ahead and cooperate fully.
After Gu Tingye informed Li Hao that he was ready and communicated with Li Yixing and the others.
Li Hao then ordered the whole camp to be repaired for three days. They could go out for activities during the day, but they had to return to camp at night.
This order made everyone in the camp happy. However, Zhu Liangzu and the others were a little confused and came to ask Li Hao for confirmation.
After receiving Li Hao's personal reply, he felt relieved and started to meet up to visit Linchuan City.
That day, a large group of people came out of the camp together. In the crowd, Li Yixing, Cao Zhen, and Ye Sheng, who knew the details, followed along to guard against any accidents.
Of course, Zhu Liangzu and the others still abide by the rules after being taught a lesson and returned before Chen Shi.
In the following two days, he left early and returned late, going to Linchuan City every day. In the end, he caused a big scene under Li Yixing's deliberate guidance.
He had a fight with a group of yamen in Linchuan City, and the news of his identity spread throughout the streets.
However, although Li Hao did this intentionally, he still took the opportunity to make everyone in the fight suffer a few blows.
In order to re-organize the military morale that had been relaxed in the past three days.
After resting, Li Hao invited Xie Youde to discuss with him the matter of leaving the camp and stationed alone.
The result shocked Xie Youde, thinking that someone had neglected Li Hao and the others, and apologized profusely.
