Chapter 116 Practical Application of Art of War 2

"The so-called baits are all bait soldiers. The bait soldier is not desirable, and if you take it, you will be defeated.

This is the way of bait warfare at the beginning of Yang Fu, and the first step in capturing Xinping County is to bait those thieves, draw them out of the turtle shell of Xinping County and kill them in one fell swoop!

And having learned about the shortage of food for the thief soldiers in Xinping County, I naturally know what bait to choose to use: food and grass!

"General, general, look!" The scout shouted on the wall and couldn't wait to deaf the candidate's ears: "That's the Ma family's grain transportation brigade!"

The candidate immediately looked over and saw a heavy team entering the Ma super battalion, and if you look carefully, you can also see that the heavy soldiers are moving the grain and fodder from the warehouse next to the Chinese army's tent. One of the unlucky guys accidentally sprinkled the sack, sprinkled corn all over the ground, and immediately exchanged it for the quartermaster's whip.

"General, let's rob this laden. The brothers in the city are about to gnaw at the bark. The incompetence of the candidates makes the bandits below not have much superior consciousness at all and say whatever they think.

"Bullshit! Those heavy weights have been transported to Ma Chao's camp. Do you want me to lead the soldiers to fight with Xiliang Iron Horse? The candidate was so angry that he kicked the scout again: "Fly with those butchers? You don't want to live a long life, and I still want to live a few more years!"

The scouts are often beaten and scolded by candidates, and their resentment has accumulated a lot. At this time, when he heard that the candidate did not rob food, he shouted angrily: "What kind of bullshit general are you? In the past, it was said that you could follow us to eat delicious and drink spicy food, but now it's good. I'm surrounded in this broken city and haven't even eaten half a grain of rice. It's better to go out and fight. Maybe we can have a full meal!"

"You want to rebel, don't you?" The candidate stared at the bull's eyes, and naturally there was some power. But when he saw that most of the thieves around him also looked like the scout and wanted to go down to grab food, he knew that he had been angry and couldn't help lower his tone and said, "Xiliang's iron horse dominated the world and was invincible, especially Ma Chao, who had won the title of 'General Tianwei God' among the Qiang people, and it was even more murderous. Ruma. Can we fight with others with our wooden guns and iron bars now? Maybe Ma Chao got this idea and let us automatically send it to the tiger's mouth!"

"What should we do? Starving to death like this?" The scout was anxious. He himself was a thief. His nature was to pluck hair. At this time, he was so hungry that his chest was close to his belly. How could he reason listen to the candidate's words?

"When I think about it again, this matter is very strange and needs to be discussed in the long way." The candidate had no choice but to be so perfunctory.

"When you think of a solution, we will have starved to death!" The scout's stubbornness, a little ignored it, and suddenly splashed on the wall.

"Get out of here!" The candidate had already held a fire in his heart. At this time, he was provoked by the scout, picked up the big knife in his hand and cut it towards the scout.

The scout did not expect that the candidate who usually did not use a knife would kill himself. Without any room for resistance, his head was cut off by the big knife. The head rolled down the wall, leaving only shocking blood all over the land.

"I took you to fight east and west, killed countless people, and I also enjoyed a lot of blessings with you wolf cubs. If it hadn't been for me, you would have died under those soldiers, and now you would have regarded me as your slave, shouting around?" After killing this scout, the candidate still did not understand his hatred and looked around, as if to find another unlucky ghost to vent his anger: "Tell you, today's food and fodder can't be robbed. If any of you have the courage to rob the grain and fodder, don't go back to this Xinping County from now on!"

After saying that, the candidate's anger has not subsided, and he took the bloody knife and walked down the city wall: there were still maidservants in the house who had not opened the house. At this time, it was just used to extinguish the fire...

Don't think that the candidates have no food to eat with these big soldiers. This guy has already collected the food in the city for his own allocation. Those big-headed soldiers are so hungry that they have no strength, but the candidates still have the energy to vent their desire!

"This dog eats oil all over his mouth, but we don't even have a porridge!" The soldiers on the wall said hatefully when they saw the candidate leaving.

"That is, without us, he is nothing! At this time, he dared to kill us!" Another soldier spit on the candidate's back and said harshly.

"Don't say more. I think the leader is right. You said it for no reason, and we will see Ma Chao's grain transportation team?" An old soldier hurriedly dissuaded him for fear that the recruits would rebel.

"Lao Ding, who are you fooling? These recruits* are not clear, don't you know yet?" After hearing this, another veteran said sarcastically, "Isn't it normal that Ma Chao's men are all cavalry first, and heavy grain and grass will arrive half a day later? And it seems that the food delivery team will not stop these two days. The dog's day candidate is just a shrinking turtle!"

The veteran was choked and had nothing to say, and he was also a little dissatisfied with the candidate. After that, everyone shouted and said bad words to the candidates.

In the Ma's camp, after everyone saw the head picked up by their subordinates, they couldn't help laughing at the corners of their mouths: the first time they were lured, and they began to quarrel with each other? It seems that these thieves are not only short of food, but also quite unstable...

"Order, take the second step immediately." After Ma Chao ordered his men to take away the head of the bad habit, he immediately ordered.

"Yes!" Everyone responded and went to prepare. Only one Fazheng left, who seemed to have no work to do, had to smile awkwardly at Ma Chao and retreated.

And Ma Chao looked at Fa Zheng's back and couldn't help muttering, "Will he be a little too cruel? This guy is just a 15-year-old teenager who is in a rebellious period. If he can't stand this cold violence, won't he be beaten?

After thinking about it, Ma Chao decided to firmly implement the cold and violent policy: extraordinary people do extraordinary things, and if the law can't even withstand this setback, there will be no success in the future.

In a blink of an eye, the moon stars are sparse, and Ma Chao's first night in Xinping County has quietly come.

With the bright light, the thieves on the wall were so hungry that they couldn't sleep. Just lie down lazily, without saying a word in his mouth, so that they can survive the night.

"Lao Ding, do you think if we go out to rob grain, will we have a chance of winning?" A new thief asked, weak.

"Don't think about it. If you rob grain halfway, it may be okay. If you go to Ma Chao's camp to rob grain, it's purely death!" Lao Ding didn't bother to pay attention to the thief, but simply told the truth.

"Lao Ding, listen, is there a sound?" The veteran who choked Lao Ding said in the morning, but his ears stuck to the wall.

"Well, there is a sound, but there are not many people..." Lao Ding also put his ear to the wall at the same time, but then he found that there was no need: "Someone is climbing the wall... But it doesn't seem to be here to open the gate.

Lao Ding took a look at the hook on the city stack, holding a knife in his hand, wondering if he should wait for the man to climb halfway, cut the rope, and let the boy fly for a while...

"Don't cut, catch alive, this boy is the one who was beaten during the day!" The veteran quickly stopped Lao Ding and continued, "Maybe he came to send us food!"

"Can you also recognize this?"

After the man came up, he was immediately knocked down by four or five thieves. Lao Ding took a look and found that it was the boy who was beaten during the day.

"What did you do in Xinping County?! Do you want to open the city gate?" Lao Ding put the knife on the boy's neck and said fiercely.

"Lord, spare your life, spare your life. The villain is originally from Xinping County. A few days ago, he attacked Fufeng County with the two fools of Li Kanchengyin. As a result, he became a prisoner. Today, he just escaped and wanted to go home to see his mother!"

"What's your name?" Lao Ding saw that the man was panicked and didn't look like a Xiliang iron horse, so he asked again.

"Little man Xiao Tian."
