Chapter 97 Strategy and Solution

After dusk, the area around Shijing Village gradually quieted down. A team of officers and soldiers patrolled outside the village, afraid that the group of thieves in the village would break out at night, and the people in the village also silently held bowls and ate a big mouthful of meat. It was rare to eat a mouthful of meat. Now large pieces are placed in front of them. In the past, although it tastes the same, everyone's mood is very heavy, because in their opinion, this is the last meal in their lives. When the sun rises again tomorrow, I'm afraid it will be the time when they die here, so everyone doesn't say anything, just bows their heads and eats, even the village. Those villagers also gathered together silently to eat the meal with the most meat in their lives. They were secretly worried about their fate. Only children who did not have any scheming ate meat for the first time and laughed with each other, while their parents cried secretly, and the crowd was filled with despair. The mood.

A group of crows smelled the blood in the air from nowhere. They gradually gathered over Ishii Village and began to fall one by one, tentatively falling between the bodies left by the officers and soldiers at the entrance of the village, and began to walk back and forth between the bodies to see if there was any danger.

After they found that there was no danger, they began to jump on some corpses and pecked hard. Gradually, more and more and more crows began to fall, fighting for the bodies left by these officers and soldiers. However, for such a scene, although the officers and soldiers looked uncomfortable, they did not dare to come and grab their robes. The body.

Because these bodies are within the range of the thieves in the village, if they can't rob the corpse and get shot by the thieves again, it will be even less cost-effective. They can only send another big meal to the crows for nothing.

And Luo Li and his subordinates are not in the mood to take care of the bodies of these crows fighting for the officers and soldiers. Anyway, it's not their brothers. Let the crows eat it if they like it!

Later, Zhang Yan couldn't stand it. He sent people to set up two cannons and fired two cannons at the entrance of the village. The loud sound of cannons frightened the crows who were fighting for the corpse. The shells were scattered on the ground at the entrance of the village and did not kill several crows. Instead, it shocked the people in the village. Luo Li and the soldiers caught them one after another. If they tighten their weapons, they will jump up and get ready, for fear that the officers and soldiers will attack at night. Once that's the case, they will definitely not be able to survive this night, so they all get up in a hurry and are ready to fight.

But at a glance, everyone burst into cursing. It turned out that the officers and soldiers were bombarding the crows with cannons, which made everyone nervous, so they all sat down again.

At the same time, Xiao Tianjian also led his troops to the mountain pass and stopped at afar. Wang Chengping immediately led his men to clean up the night of several officers and soldiers who appeared around them, and grabbed a live mouth and brought it back to the army on horseback.

The performance of Wang Chengping and his men really convinced Xiao Tianjian. These people's riding skills are very superb. After arriving on the flat ground, they come and go like a dragon entering the water like the wind. Even Shi Ran, the sentry general of the scouts, has to show his admiration for Wang Chengping.

The officers and soldiers who were arrested couldn't stand the torture of Xing Tianjun, and immediately confessed, telling their where they came from and the situation in Shijing Village.

It turned out that this officer was a guard army transferred from Taiyuan Prefecture. They were ordered by Hong Chengchou to go to Henan to encircle and suppress the people's army. Because of Hong Chengchou's urgency, they set out from Taiyuan Prefecture on the ninth day of the Chinese New Year and dragged them all the way here, and the Zhang guerrilla who led the team was also in Jiang County. So he took a detour and wanted to go home to have a look. As a result, he met Luo Li, who was fighting for food in this area.

This guerrilla Zhang is eager to make contributions. He thinks that if he can eliminate all the poles before he arrives in Henan, it will also be a credit. He will definitely get the attention of Hong Chengchou Hong and pave the way for his promotion in the future. He may not dare to think about it, but he doesn't mind being promoted as a general or something, so he can chase him. Luo Li rushed here and blocked Luo Li's group in Shijing Village.

After listening to the news that the officer and army had not defeated Shijing Village, Xiao Tianjian was much relieved, and the officer and army did not accept it at night. Zhang Yan had ordered to stop attacking Shijing Village in the afternoon and planned to take Shijing Village in one fell swoop tomorrow. He did not expect that this group would be blocked in Shijing Village at all. There will be a support force to save them.

Xiao Tianjian waved his hand, and someone came to drag the night down. Without saying a word, he cut it with a knife. Then he recruited Yan Chongxi, Shi Ran and others and began to discuss how to save Luo Li's group.

In Wang Chengping's idea, tomorrow morning, while the officers and army were unprepared, they suddenly appeared from behind the officers and soldiers. With nearly 100 cavalry in their scouts as the back of the vanguard assault officers and soldiers, Xiao Tianjian led the troops to attack the officers and soldiers directly, so that they could defeat the officers and soldiers and save Luo Li and other members of Shijing Village.

Basically, several generals agree with Wang Chengping's suggestion. Although they do not have as many officers and soldiers, they are well trained and have relatively rich combat experience. It should not be a problem to defeat this officer with their troops, and it is safer to do so. The danger is very small for them.

But Xiao Tianjian frowned and thought silently for a long time, but finally denied Wang Chengping's proposal and said to them, "It's not appropriate!" At present, we are not against the Shanxi officials in a big way, but temporarily hide in the Yangcheng area. The method you said is indeed relatively safe, and there will be no problem to break up the officers and soldiers on this road, but have you thought of the impact on the officers and soldiers on this road on the road on the future?

Everyone shook their heads and said that they didn't expect it. Xiao Tianjian smiled bitterly and said to them, "The night of the official army just now is not accepted. This official army is the soldiers and horses of the Taiyuan Government. If we really go over blatantly and turn them over in one fell swoop, then think about it. Will the Shanxi Chief Secretary still not pay attention to us?

So if this battle can't be fought much, it's better not to fight. We don't want to kill more enemies, as long as we find a way to save Luo Li and them. It's better to create an illusion that they don't have many soldiers and horses, and think of us as an ordinary pole or a horse thief!

In this case, even if this guerrilla suffers a little loss, it is estimated that he will not dare to report it blatantly. As long as his losses are not very big, he will find a way to press this matter, so as not to lose his post because of this matter. In this way, we can not only save Luo Li, but also not. It attracts a big report from the government!

In addition, I can tell you that now Wang Gao Yingxiang's large number of rebels have been raised to Henan. I'm afraid that they will soon do earth-shaking things. At that time, the court and the surrounding provincial governments will definitely focus on Henan. We must not be the first bird, but suck up the heavy troops of Shanxi. It's leading us! This time we should have a chance to try not to make such a big deal. Do you understand what I mean?

Since Xiao Tianjian understands what he said so well, what else is there that Yan Chongxi and Wang Chengping can't understand? So they all nodded and made it clear. In terms of strategy, they are far less clear than Xiao Tianjian, a later person, about the general trend of the country, so in the overall consideration, these people's vision is definitely not as good as Xiao Tianjian, but they also agree with Xiao Tianjian's idea of saving power in Yangcheng at present. After all, they also I know that there are only a few thousand of them. If they confront the officers and soldiers in Shanxi, their strength is too small, so now Xiao Tianjian said that he wanted to show the truth, and they have nothing to object to.

So everyone began to discuss again. Finally, Xiao Tianjian put forward an opinion. After some discussion, everyone said yes, so Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and said, "Then it's settled. Everyone began to rest. Today, the brothers walked hundreds of miles during the day, and they were already exhausted. They used this machine. Will, go to bed quickly and refresh yourself! Wait until I order, and then start to act!"

The generals immediately took the order and began to go down to arrange. A team of soldiers of Xing Tianjun hid into the forest on the side of the mountain pass. They nibbled some cakes with cold water, fell to the ground and wrapped in a quilt, and huddled together to sleep. Only the soldiers on duty squatted in the edge of the forest with weapons and stared at it. The movement outside.

In order to avoid being found by the officers and soldiers at night, Xing Tianjun didn't even have a bonfire. They just squeezed together and slept under the trees in the cold forest. However, the long-distance rush during the day did tire them out. Even if it was very cold, these soldiers of Xing Tianjun quickly snored loudly. After sleeping soundly, after such a long time of tempering, the nerves of most of the soldiers and generals have become very large. They know that they may go to battle, but few people can't sleep all night like when they first joined the army.
