Chapter 179 Formation
Tu Sanye said it very clearly. The copycat is not a refuge for the outlaws. If you want to stay, you must prove that you are useful and worthy of shelter.
The copycat is not owned by anyone. Every mountain is ruled by its own rules. Even the leader has no right to use the lives of the brothers as favors to protect those who have brought great trouble from outside.
When Jing Gang first came to Su Yiqing, he did not expect that King Ping would have such a big battle. Now that he pushed Su Yiqing out to die, he was obviously not moral, but he left her against the government and could not explain to his brothers. He was in a dilemma.
If he could use his life alone to exchange for everyone's safety, he would not hesitate, but now it is obvious that even if he dies, the problem will not be solved.
"If I say that I have a way to help everyone fight the officers and soldiers in a short period of time with few enemies, do you think it is worth fighting this battle?" A cold and calm voice sounded.
Mr. Tu San squinted his eyes and looked at the young man in thick linen at the door, who was all noble and elegant, and said, "Who are you? How did you come in? Are you guarding at the door?"
These big leaders are discussing matters, and idle people cannot come in. There are several levels outside, so how can this young man come in quietly?
As soon as Tu Sanye said that, the robbers who had reacted to draw their swords and the sticks were holding their swords. A burst of weapons sounded, and everyone set out in a formation. However, when they looked up, they saw the young man standing there easily with a smile on his face. Thinking about the dozen people, there were only one of them, who was younger than most people. They obviously bullied the few people, bullied the small people with the big ones, or were timid and afraid of things. So everyone suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
At this time, Jing Gang took out the majesty of the leader and shouted: "You haven't put away all the weapons yet, it's embarrassing."
Another wave of weapons sounded, and then the hall was filled with needles and everyone looked at Zhao Boyang.
Zhao Boyang bowed his hand gently and said respectfully: "Zhao Boyang has seen all the heroes."
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden noise in the hall. Jing Gang glanced coldly and everyone did not dare to speak again.
After a while, Yang Xiucai asked in disbelief: "Godly General Zhao Boyang?"
Zhao Boyang nodded with a smile: "Yes, I am the brave general of the past."
Although everyone is a traitor, they have always admired heroes. Zhao Boyang is a famous hero who saves the country in the world, so they are naturally the object of their admiration, especially a few who have followed the Zhao family army, who admire the Zhao family army's military management.
Now that the hero appears, it is slightly different from the image that everyone imagines, but everyone is still very excited.
At this time, Mr. Tu San asked, "Is General Zhao living in the stone house in the back mountain?"
"Yes." Zhao Boyang answered yes.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
When Jing Gang committed a major case, he came to the counterfeit village to avoid disaster. Even the counterfeit village could be sheltered, not to mention Zhao Boyang, a famous hero in the world. If such a hero is forced to escape to their counterfeit village by the government, they will drive people out. They will definitely be despised by the people on the road.
But Tu Sanye had already said something just now, and it was difficult to take Zhao Boyang in for no reason. Of course, if Zhao Boyang said he was willing to join their copycat, it would be a different matter, but no one would be embarrassed to ask for this.
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you. Even Yang Xiucai, who always thought he was the most eloquent and liked to cause trouble for Jing Gang, refused to be famous for this.
No one is a fool. He really drove Zhao Boyang down the mountain and solved the crisis of the copycat. In the future, the infamy will be borne by the first person to raise it, and everyone will blame him.
At this time, Zhao Boyang smiled and said, "As the saying goes, you will not receive any reward without merit. When you meet by chance, Zhao doesn't want all the heroes to take risks for Zhao. In this way, if Zhao says, you are sure that you can let the government retreat without spending one soldier. I wonder if you can allow Zhao to avoid it for a while?"
"What is General Zhao saying? The general is loyal to the country and resisting foreign enemies. What Yin Zhi admires most in his life is a person like the general. The general only controls him. Whoever dares to say a word is against Yin Zhi." The second head Yin Zhi stared at everyone with his big eyes, especially Yang Xiucai, who started to sing the opposite tune.
Yang Xiucai secretly called this guy shameless. When Zhao Boyang said that he could let the government retreat without a single soldier, what else do you have to say? Not to mention a hero like Zhao Boyang, even if an ordinary person has such ability, the village would naturally not keep it out of the door.
As soon as Yin Zhi said this, everyone agreed, and they said it strongly and had a little bad use of words, but the meaning was not inferior to those great scholars in the court who were well-read in poetry and books quoted classics.
Zhao Boyang couldn't help but shook his head in his heart, it seemed that human nature was the same everywhere.
Whether for fame or profit, it is the same in the end.
After everyone discussed, Jing Gang said in a deep voice: "It's not yet certain that the officers and soldiers are coming for General Zhao. General Zhao is willing to help because he is kind to the village. I have something to say first. If anyone dares to leak the news about General Zhao here, he will deal with the rules of treating the traitors in the way."
"This is naturally. If anyone dares to talk nonsense, I will not let him go." Yang Xiucai finally had a chance to express his determination and was the first to swear first. The rest of the people followed suit and agreed. The way is mixed, loyalty is the most important.
Zhao Boyang looked at Jing Gang in surprise, but couldn't tell that this person was quite strategic. In this way, no one would ask why the officers and soldiers below were besieging the hamlet. The leaders didn't want to ask. Even if the brothers below heard the officers and soldiers say something, they would not spread the news. What's more, it would be difficult to convince the crowd when dispatching a large army for a woman. Zhang Qifeng dared not blatantly say that he was looking for Su Yiqing.
Both sides conceal something, so this sentence would not be too plain. In ambiguous way, the truth is difficult to be revealed. Even if it is revealed, Jing Gang's words beforehand reduced everyone's anger when they learned the truth.
Since he had made a decision, Zhao Boyang swore that he could get the government to retreat without spending one soldier. Due to his prestige, no one would object, and how to fight the enemy depends on him.
Finally, Zhao Boyang asked someone to cut down trees and plant flags in the middle of the mountain, and then built piles of things like small graves with stones and wood.
Everyone looked at it for a long time but couldn't understand the truth.
When asked about Zhao Boyang, Zhao Boyang did not answer.
Jing Gang scolded him, saying that it was a military secret that could not be told casually by outsiders. It was not that he could not trust all the brothers, but that everyone was rough and irritable. If he let it go, it would not work. He would know in two days, and he would not be in a hurry to do this.
It makes sense for everyone to think about it, so they stop talking.
At the foot of the mountain, Pang Jin stood on the opposite hillside and looked into the distance. He saw flags scattered on the main road of the mountain village, and people kept carrying stones, wooden sticks and other objects. He didn't know what he was building, so he couldn't help but feel anxious.
He was just a deputy general, young and should not have taken on this important task, but General Zhang said that this matter could not be spread and must be handled by trusted people, and it was not really necessary for them to attack the mountain. As long as they brought enough people to form a siege, the mobs on the mountain would not think they would go against the government for a woman.
But at this moment, the bandits were reluctant to even talk, so they set up a confrontational formation, which made it difficult for him to ride a tiger. If he didn't attack, he would go back in shame and lose face. If he attacked, he was really unsure and could only ask someone to ride a fast horse to report to General Zhang.
Zhang Qifeng received a letter from Pang Jin and sent someone to help.
This person was very strange. He was wearing a black cloak, covered with a veil, and his whole body was covered tightly. If it weren't for Zhang Qifeng's handwriting and his confidants following him, Pang Jin would have really not be able to believe this person.
The true face was invisible, and the sound seemed to be an old man. This strange man went up to the top of the opposite mountain like Pang Jin before, and then came down for a while and said two words, "Retreat."
Pang Jin was shocked. If he didn't fight, he would return without success. How would he explain when he went back? He couldn't help but say: "Just retreat, how can he convince the public? If he spread it, others would say that we were afraid of these bandits, and brought a large group of troops to come but returned without success. He was scared away without even fighting."
As the deputy general, Pang Jin thought more about military morale and could not let the soldiers below lose confidence in the general. If such a thing happened a few more times, then the prestige that General Zhang had finally accumulated would be consumed.
The old man said lightly: "You go and see it yourself. The formation has been set up on the opposite mountain. If we attack, we will fall into their trap. You should also have a deep understanding of this. Our army won the battle of Yunzhou by relying on the terrain and traps."
After the old man reminded him, Pang Jin felt enlightened. Yes, why didn’t he expect that the mountains looked from afar, and he couldn’t help but say, “So, according to your opinion, what formations are they setting up? Is there a way to crack them?”
The old man shook his head: "It's too far away and can't see clearly. If it's so easy to see its mystery, even if it's not a subtle formation, as for the cracking method, it's not without it. Just surround them. When they run out of food and grass, they will inevitably break through. However, this premise is that we have enough people to waste with them. This large group of people will inevitably consume a lot of food and grass for three or five months. The enemy is on the mountain, which is their nest. It can't be blown by the wind or rain. We have to sleep in the open air. The weather in the mountains is changing, and the soldiers will find it difficult to adapt for a while. After ten and a half months, people will be trapped and horses will be exhausted. The enemy will attack sneakily, which will easily cause major casualties. This is because they have insufficient food and grass on the mountain. If they have any preparations, they can eat for a year and a half, and the grass on the mountain is lush, and they can harvest several crops of vegetables. There are so many of us, so we can't just waste it here."
