Zhu Chaoshi laughed and said: "Not bad, not bad, really good. To enter the Nankang area from the north, you need to go through Lianhua Mountain and Bani Ridge area, and Lianhua Village in the mountains is the home of the Zuanshan Baobao group. If you
To set up an ambush there, I'm afraid we have to deal with the people left behind by the Bao family bandits in the village first."
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "General Zhu has lived in Nankang for a long time and knows these terrains well, but maybe you don't know much about the situation there now. After the brothers Bao Haozhi and Bao Haozi succeeded in their rebellion, Bao Haozhi
Haozhi brought a large number of old copycat thieves to join the army of demon thieves and marched eastward. The ones who came back this time were mainly these old thieves, plus the rabble who later joined them."
"And Bao Haozi took his family members in the village and some old and weak thieves and swaggered into Nankang City. After all, life in the mountains is relatively difficult, and it is not as good as the colorful world in the city.
Over the past year, Bao Haozi has also recruited troops and annexed six or seven weak local mountain villages and barbarian tribes. Now he has three to four thousand troops. As for the old Lianhua Village, it is led by a group of new Bao family members.
Ding Dezhang, the cave master of Baishui Cave in Miaobei Mountain, was recruited and stationed there with two to three hundred men."
Zhu Chaoshi narrowed his eyes: "Ding Dezhang turns out to be a powerful family in Nankang. Baishui Cave controls the trade route from Wuling. He has always been the king of the mountains and collected them in the name of protecting the caravan.
He paid tolls and protection fees for the caravans. If he refused, he would pretend to be a strong thief and attack the caravans. I wanted to kill Ding Dezhang several times when I was in Nankang before, but he provided us with
There was a lot of information about the monsters and thieves in Lingnan. Brother Wuji wanted to send troops to Lingnan at that time. I couldn't cut off his spy, so I didn't touch him. When the Bao brothers and thieves rebelled, Ding Dezhang did not send troops to help the rebellion. It can even be said that
He was considered a powerful man who was loyal to the imperial court at that time. At his most, he had more than 2,000 troops, so why are there only two or three hundred men left?"
Luo Longsheng sneered: "It was because the man named Ding did not participate in the rebellion of the Bao brothers that he was unlucky later. The Bao brothers used the power of the demon thieves to force Ding Dezhang to open a hole and surrender, and then recruited most of his men.
, he was only allowed to take more than 400 people to Lianhua Village, where the garrison had been evacuated. Although Lianhua Village was dangerous, it was located in the mountains, with inconvenient transportation and difficult conditions, and it was impossible to collect protection fees through trade routes. So Ding Dezhang
After that, they struggled to survive. In more than a year, almost half of the more than 400 subordinates had fled. It can be said that if Ding Dezhang's own family was not taken hostage by Bao Haozi in Nankang City, I'm afraid that
He also ran away long ago."
Zhu Chaoshi said softly "Oh": "So, it is possible that this Ding Dezhang will come to join us, but he just has to find a way to take back their family?"
A strange smile flashed across Tao Yuanming's face: "Luo Sima and I have already planned this matter, and have secretly established contact with Ding Dezhang. As long as Bao Haozhi's army rushes through Lianhua Village, we will have a solution
, so that they will not be able to return the pieces of their armor."
Zhu Chaoshi gritted his teeth: "This is a time of revenge. It's my personal shame. All the sufferings of Jin Dynasty in the past two years started from Nankang. If Tao Gong, you have a complete plan here, can you let me
Will you also join this operation?"
Tao Yuanming glanced at Luo Longsheng, and the two exchanged glances, while Yu Yue said: "Since it is General Zhu's request, can we provide an opportunity this time for General Zhu to personally avenge the past?"
Tao Yuanming said calmly: "If we are to raid Nankang, we cannot send out too many troops. It must be carried out secretly. We originally planned to send out two to three hundred elite soldiers to sneak into the Nankang area in batches. We would first take Lianhua Village to control Ding Dezhang, and then send one or two thousand
The troops followed up in separate ways and gathered in the Lianhuazhai area to ambush Bao Haozhi. General Zhu now has thousands of troops and thousands of subordinates. With such a big fanfare, I'm afraid..."
Zhu Chaoshi curled up his lips: "I don't have to bring too many soldiers and horses there. Originally, after the Battle of Ma Tou, my troops also needed to rest and reorganize. Among the original Yu Gong's troops brought back from Jiangzhou, the losses in this battle were very large.
It is too big and not suitable for an attack on Jiangzhou, so I only brought my personal guards and two hundred veterans to participate in this operation. They are all my subordinates who have been with me for many years. Like me, they fell into the hands of thieves after the Battle of Nankang.
He survived the Battle of Jiangling and returned to the army, becoming my central army member. He is loyal and reliable, and he also learned the dialect of Nankang. Even if he disguises himself as a commoner and sneaks in, his flaws will not be exposed."
Yu Yue laughed: "Very good, very good, this is the best. To be honest, I don't want to see those traitors again, just like General Zhu wants to take revenge on those Nankang local tycoons who betrayed you. I
I don’t want to see those people who rebelled again. If it’s just General Zhu who is your personal guard, then it’s not too late for me to welcome you. Tao Changshi, Luo Sima, you have these elite help from General Zhu, and you are even more powerful.”
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "That's great. We were sure of seizing Lianhua Village and controlling Ding Dezhang before. However, Ding Dezhang and several family members of big and small bosses are in Nankang City. It may not be so easy to rescue them. If these people's
If safety cannot be guaranteed, then Ding Dezhang may not be willing to cooperate. At that time, we can only kill Ding Dezhang and others and force an ambush in the mountains. There will be a risk of being discovered by Bao Haozi. If General Zhu can lead his troops in Nankang City
If China first controls the families of these people and makes them willing to cooperate with us, then I have nothing to worry about."
Zhu Chaoshi nodded with satisfaction, and just as he was about to speak, Liu Muzhi said calmly: "Since this plan still needs to be discussed in detail, it still needs to be kept confidential. Mr. Tao, which general does your Jiangzhou battle plan need to cooperate with?"
, you can say now, if it is not necessary, then we will ask the generals and officials to retreat temporarily and discuss this matter secretly."
Tao Yuanming smiled and waved his hand: "I don't need help from other people for the time being. General Zhu was attacked by demon thieves back then and wanted revenge, so he took the initiative to ask for a fight. That's why I agreed to his help. Except for Commander Xiao Hu, I will help everyone else for the time being."
no need."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Okay, everyone, stay away for a while. General Tan, please ask Mr. Hu to come over now. This strategy cannot be separated from him."
Tan Daoji said coldly: "Then I wish General Yu, Tao Changshi, and Luo Sima a victory, and I also wish General Zhu a successful revenge." After saying that, he walked out of the hall without looking back, and Gao Jinzhihe
Xue Tong followed closely and left the venue. (End of chapter)
