Chapter 365 Let me teach you a lesson

Chapter 365 (Thank you for the New Year's salted tablets, the monthly ticket of the two brothers who are not hungry; please subscribe!)

The sent sent sent sent a piece of news that surprised Song Nan. The thief who captured Xiong County did not go south to attack Xin'an County, but instead attacked northwest. Yesterday night, they raided Rongcheng County in the northeast of Baoding Prefecture.

This news was greatly unexpected by Song Nan. According to Song Nan's original estimate, the thief soldiers should not dare to attack the northwest of Baoding Prefecture. After all, more than 13,000 soldiers and horses of Zijing Guanwei and Maoshanwei are not a decoration, but the thief soldiers seem to be stunned, which makes people really confused.

Facing everyone's eyes, Song Nan knew that everyone thought that his prediction had failed this time, but he was embarrassed to say it; Song Nan ordered people to take the map and frowned and carefully thought about the intention of the thief soldiers. After the thief captured Rongcheng County, there was only a 90-mile interval between them and Baoding Prefecture. The last barrier between them was Ansu County. Could the thief's next goal be to attack Ansu and intend to take Baoding Prefecture? If so, the thief's appetite is too big.

Baoding Mansion is not easy to capture, not to mention that the repaired city walls and towers have a strong defense. Although there are only more than 3,000 soldiers and horses in the city, because it is the place where the government is located, there are at least 1,000 guards and horses in each government office, plus more than 1,000 brocade guards in Baoding Prefecture, plus government officials to arrest fast and other martial arts. With a little force, there will be five or six thousand regular armed forces defending the city.

In addition to the population of Baoding Prefecture, hundreds of thousands of people alone can easily organize tens of thousands of people. In this case, it is said that there are thousands of thieves. Even if there are 30,000 to 50,000 people, it is difficult to capture Baoding Prefecture. Will the thief soldiers be stupid enough to hit stones by themselves?

If the thief soldiers really intended to stay in Baoding Mansion, Song Nan was relieved. This was exactly the result she wanted to see. The original plan was to hold the passage to go south and return to Xinping, forcing the thief soldiers to move forward to the place where the heavy soldiers were stationed in the northwest, so as to besiege and annihilate them. However, the problem is that the thief soldiers are so stupid that they It is obviously unreasonable to get into a dead end.

"Your Excellency, we should immediately rush to Baoding Prefecture, and then reinforce Ansu County, and strive to fight with thieves in Ansu County and drive them north. I'm afraid it's useless to stay in Xin'an County."

Hou Dabiao couldn't help saying that although this is equivalent to saying that Song Nan's previous arrangement has no result, which will make Song Nan feel embarrassed, Hou Dabiao can't care about this.

Song Nan frowned and paced back and forth on the bluestone board of the courtyard. From time to time, she stopped to look back at the map. Everyone's necks followed him, like sunflowers.

Song Nan finally stood in front of everyone and smiled, "We can't go."

Hou Dabiao said in astonishment, "Lord Commander, why is this? What's the use of staying here if the thieves don't come to Xin'an County?

Song Nan shook her head and said, "Hou Dabiao, if you are a thief, will you go south to avoid the road of the officers and soldiers, but go to find your own death?"

Hou Dabiao said, "Of course, humble positions are not allowed, but the problem is that the thief soldiers are very stupid. We estimated them too smart in advance."

Song Nan tilted her head and said, "Are you stupid? If it is a stupid mob, why would Xu Shangyi of thousands of households in the new town lose 500 officers and soldiers and kill himself? Why were Chen Wei's more than 5,000 soldiers defeated by only more than 2,000 more thieves? If you still look down on Liu Liu and Liu Qi at this time, it will be stupid. If you think so, you will repeat the mistakes of Chen Wei and Xu Shangyi.

Hou Dabiao blushed, but said unconvincedly, "Then tell us why did the thief faint to capture Rongcheng? I really don't understand the humble position.

Song Nan smiled and waved, "Let's take a look at the map."

A man quickly stretched out his neck and lay on the map, but he didn't see the reputation for a long time. Zheng Da said angrily, "Your excellency, don't sell the key. You can do whatever you say, our brother will do. I, Zheng Da, only listens to the adult's and doesn't need to think too much."

Li Daniu nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I just listen to Brother Nan's orders and do whatever his mother's thief wants to do."

Song Nan sank his face and said, "That's not right. You are all my good brothers. In the past few years, we have also experienced a lot of ups and downs together, but although our officials are getting bigger and bigger, their ability should also be improved accordingly. Otherwise, their talents are insufficient. Wouldn't they become mediocre officials? Sooner or later, you will become an independent figure. We are military attaches. We are not only brave, but also the way to lead troops against the enemy, otherwise we are just a reckless man.

Several people blushed and lowered their heads. They did rely too much on Song Nan to reflect that they basically did not move their brains, but these talents could not be achieved overnight. It was too difficult for some people to come up with an idea in the blink of an eye like Song Commander.

Song Nan's face recovered peacefully and said, "I'll teach you a lesson today. I'll put forward the main points. You can use your brain to answer and see whose brain is spinning fast."

Everyone cheered in unison, and Zheng Damo wiped his palms and said, "I'm good at this. After all, I got along with adults in Zhengnanfang and learned more or less skills."

Li Daniel glanced at him and said, "Is it just you? Brother Nan and I grew up together and haven't learned any fur.

Zheng Da said, "That's your stupidity."

Li Daniel stared and said, "Are you smarter than me?"

The two began to quarrel, but Wan Zhi Wang Yong and Zheng Dabiao waited for Song Nan to tell their fate. They quickly persuaded them to stop and asked Song Nan to give some reasons.

Song Nan smiled and said, "Look at this map, what is between Xin'an County and Xiong County?"

Zheng Da rushed to say, "It's all dots and circles. What does this mean?"

Wan Zhi frowned at the map and said, "These circles represent place names and terrain, and these wavy lines represent rivers and lakes."

Hou Dabiao's eyes lit up and shouted, "Do you mean that there is Baiyangdian between Xiong County and Xin'an County? The thief captured Rongcheng. Did he take a detour to avoid the lake area of Baiyangdian?

Song Nan laughed and said, "Someone finally understood. Please take a look. There is a large area of Baiyangdian Lake between Xiong County and Xin'an County. Although there are feasible roads in the middle, don't forget that it rained for half a month in July. You have probably heard about the flood in Baoding Prefecture, but the narrow road in the middle is probably a country, and even after the water receds, it is still muddy and difficult to walk. There must be a reason why the thief soldiers don't leave here.

Hou Dabiao patted his head and said, "Your excellency said that I remembered that it took too long to go to Xiong County to scout the cavalry. Just now, he was humble and scolded him for moving too slowly. But they said that the road to Xiong County was muddy and difficult to walk. The horse was trapped in the quagmire several times, so the time was delayed. It took more than three hours for the horse to wait for a time, and it took twice as long from morning to afternoon. I'm afraid that's the reason.

Song Nan nodded and said, "That's right. I'm also the reason for predicting. If you say so, this must be one of the reasons why the thief soldiers do not directly go south to attack Xin'an County. Imagine that the thief soldiers are all infantry, trekking through the muddy swamp and may not be able to reach here in a day. I'm afraid they are all exhausted when they get here. How can they attack the city if they don't rest? And if it is blocked by officers and soldiers in the swamp in Baiyangdian because of slow movement, won't it be difficult to fly?

Everyone nodded one after another and agreed with Song Nan's words. The thief soldiers are now scrambling for time with officers and soldiers. They don't know that the court has just realized the seriousness of the problem and has not mobilized a large army to encircle and suppress it. In their hearts, for more than ten days, they have been defeated the officers and soldiers in a row and broke through the city. I'm afraid they have already made a lot of noise. I'm afraid the officers and soldiers everywhere are in full It is serious to jump out of the encirclement of Wen'an's left-near officers and soldiers at this time. Naturally, you can't have time to rest slowly, so you won't choose to walk on the muddy swamp road.

"Your Excellency, there is still some confusion about the humble position. Even if the thief soldiers don't want to walk on the muddy road, they don't need to attack Rongcheng County. They can take a detour. There are roads in the north and south of Baiyangdian, and the detour is just 50 or 60 miles." Wang Yong frowned and asked.

Song Nan said, "Brother Wang Yong asked the point. The thief soldiers took a detour. It took hundreds of miles more to make a detour to the south, not to mention passing through the territory of Wen'an. In the view of the thief soldiers, Wen'an is probably a gathering of officers and soldiers now, so it is impossible for them to go back. They chose to make a detour to the north, but they could have went south to Dawang Town in the north of Baiyangding, but according to Rongcheng County, there are only 40 or 50 miles here. I guess the thief soldiers simply attacked Rongcheng County overnight.

"Do you mean that Rongcheng County is just the target of their temporary attack?" Hou Dabiao asked with bulging eyes.

Song Nan said: "Although it is a temporary intention, the thief soldiers must have also been considered. At least this move has two benefits for them. One is that they can rest and expand the team again after taking Rongcheng County. The other is that this move has released a thief soldier who is attacking to the northwest or approaching Baoding Prefecture*, if the officers and soldiers are in front of a swarm of If you go to Rongcheng County or Baoding Prefecture in Ansu County, you will be tricked by the thief soldiers. If I guess it's good, the thieves may be on their way directly south to Xin'an County.

Everyone's eyes are wide-eyed and speechless. Although there is a trace of idea that "thieves may not have so much consideration" in their hearts, their analysis of Song Nan is admiring the five-body investment. No wonder Song's command can go straight up and fall into power at a young age. There is a reason. Every step is taken into account and never Leave a doubt, I'm afraid it's one of the keys to Lord Song's success.

After Song Nan's analysis, everyone also dispelled their doubts and led people to actively prepare for the war. Since there is still time, the city defense naturally needs to be strengthened. In the moat, seven or eight mud platforms will definitely be piled up with mud from the direction of the two walls in the northwest, so that the defenders of the city can have more feet, so as to avoid the lack of strength at the thin wall of the war.
