Chapter 33 Travel in the Snow (2)(1/2)
"In the end, no matter how you calculate it, our number of experts is still somewhat insufficient.
"For example, as long as Inspector Shen is an expert at condensing pills, then we will have one less person who is a master at condensing pills...
"In addition, it is difficult to say what the cultivation levels of Zhang Shizhao, Gao Jiang, and Cao Wang are; there are also the two captains of Liang County and the two lieutenant generals of the Tun Army, who should all be masters of Qijing; finally,
They are a group of father-in-laws from Beiya. According to several leaders who came from Dongdu, they should be generally somewhat cultivated. Even several female officials have said so... In other words, we are really lagging behind in terms of masters of Qijing and above.
, this cannot be ignored.”
After carefully saying the last words, Yan Qing glanced at Zhang Xing, and after seeing the other person nodded, he carefully sat down. But as soon as he sat down, the leaders below couldn't help themselves, and couldn't help but started arguing fiercely.
"There are too many experts in the imperial court. Do we have to do this deal?"
"That's the queen!"
"However, Mr. Zhang also made it clear just now that most of the masters above Condensation Pill are useless and are not our match at all. As long as King Xiongtian takes down the big eunuch, the rest will be as good as talking down and cracking firewood."
?”
"The opponent has one Cheng Dan, maybe two Ning Dan. What about us? I know King Xiongtian is a master of Cheng Dan, but who else is a Ning Dan?"
"It should be Mr. Zhang..."
"It's Xu Dalang."
"Xu Dalang..."
"I don't think so!"
In the chaos, Niu Da suddenly stood up, attracting everyone's attention, and he was also the first to formally express his objection. "This is not a matter of one or two shortcomings, but a gap of too many battles at the level of Qijing master."
It is important to know that the odd passing move and the condensing pill passing move are not the same thing at all... There are odd passing moves that can determine the outcome in an instant, and it is rare to use a stick of incense; but the master of condensing pills often needs to spend his real energy to make a move.
It's normal for him to have no energy at all and let the opponent run away after fighting for half a day... In this case, how can we let Xiongtian King be condescending and defeat them all in one go? In my opinion, if you force yourself to do such a big thing, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties, and
Those who have lost are our most stalwart and core leaders and elites! Therefore, we must not be fooled by the name of Zhonggong and ruin our situation in vain."
What he said was reasonable and well-founded. After he said it, some people immediately agreed, and they were buzzing for a while.
"Leader Niu is too alarmist."
But just a moment later, the initiator, Taoist Wei, took the initiative to refute the discussion before it could take shape. "We are going to rob the road, not to fight, let alone a gang fight. The opponent has more than 10,000 people as burdens, and there are
There are many places that must be saved... To put it bluntly, as long as we work together, with King Xiongtian as the leader, and take the queen directly, no matter how many masters the court has, what will it matter?"
There seemed to be some truth to this statement, and it immediately sparked a new wave of discussions.
But soon, after a discussion with Guan Xu, Niu Da stood up again and refuted: "Chief Wei, don't be joking... I just ask you, we are going to rob the road, but the opponent's troops and horses are heavy
Adding up to 20,000 to 30,000 people, there are hundreds of vehicles alone. How can we rob them? If we don’t have 10,000 soldiers, how dare we rob them? If we rob them, can we bring them back? If we send out 10,000 soldiers, the other side will also have almost 10,000 soldiers. It’s not about fighting.
What is it?"
Wei Xuanding, who had no time to sit down, choked.
"That's not all." Niu Da continued to sneer. "As for taking the queen directly, not to mention whether it will in turn bring together the opponent's masters, causing the most unintended melee. It is just that if the opponent's masters of practice gather together,
What if there are enough people to form an formation together? There are three Zhu Shou and three Hei Shou from Jing'an Terrace opposite, leading three patrol groups. They are not ordinary practitioners. They will try to form an formation as soon as possible. Once they form,
Even the ability of King Xiongtian will be overwhelmed! By then, we will be stranded in the snow without supplies, waiting to collapse."
Wei Xuanding was completely speechless and could only glare at Niu Da and Guan Xu, then sat down and continued to think about countermeasures.
Zhang Xing, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but glance at Taoist Wei.
"I'm not talking about the masters of cultivation, I'm just talking about the military. The Niu leader's worry about getting lost in the snow must also be considered."
After listening to the discussion, Xu Dalang, who was just in front of Niuda, also held his notes and spoke at the right time. "The previous three or four snowfalls were stacked in three or four layers, with ice below and snow above. It has been a little warmer these days.
The ice on the lower two layers has also begun to soften, so the road will only be harder to walk in the next few days... If the road is difficult in the snow, will it be possible to go too early and not be able to catch it too late? If you are forced to go on the road, specify the
If we pounce, will we be exhausted and wait for work? After all, our strength is almost equal."
"So, we don't have enough troops, our generals are incompetent, and the time and place are not favorable to us, so what are we doing here?" Xiong Bonan asked in a dull voice, as if he was dissatisfied because he was called back in a hurry but could not do anything.
Of course, it would be difficult for him to do things there. Wang Wulang and Shan Dalang, both of whom had a strong demeanor, insisted that Li Shu and Xiong Bonan not go to support them, and only needed the newly surrendered soldiers and the newly collected soldiers.
Ordnance and supplies, not even food.
"That's not the case." Zhang Xing finally spoke with a smile to comfort him. "King Xiongtian, please be patient... In fact, the weather and location are fair. For example, with the snow like this, it will certainly be difficult for us to send troops, but other people
Isn't it more difficult than us to have a big car or a small car, to be a palace servant?"
Xiong Bonan was slightly startled, and then looked at Wei Xuanding, who was still sneering despite being refuted, and Xu Dalang, who raised objections but held on to the meeting notes. Knowing that these thoughtful people must have something to say, he secretly shouted
Unlucky, I sat back obediently.
"Moreover, we also have the most important person and..."
Zhang Xing finally became solemn, because he had noticed that not only Xiong Bonan, but also many leaders were not up to par. At least in this kind of situation, they just followed everyone else's words and listened to whoever had the loudest voice. If this was really the case
If we continue talking, I'm afraid many people will think that it really can't be fought, so they decide to talk about it in a broad way.
"Why did you come up with this idea? Isn't it because the people of the world are in panic at this time, and the imperial court is at its weakest? Tomoshiro was so defeated that he fled to Lu County. The local people in Lu County actually came to lookout.
And Jiang...isn't the same true for Wang Wu and Shan Da? So, we don't need to be secretive, that is, Renhe is on our side now, and at this time, we see the Queen leading such a bunch of people from under our noses.
We have humbled ourselves so much that if we don’t stab him, we can’t live up to our status as rebels.”
As he said that, Zhang Xingfu pointed to the paper in Xu Dalang's hand: "On paper, of course the imperial court is stronger than us, but from Juyi to now, on which paper is the imperial court not stronger? Shouldn't we just do it?"
"I understand, just kill them directly. The other army will probably collapse just like the east side. The masters of Jing'antai may just surrender." King Xiongtian couldn't help but interject. "Then what's going on here?
What does the paper discussion mean?”
"Of course we have to discuss it on paper." Wei Xuanding said impatiently. "Consider defeat before thinking about victory. What if all the people in the court are loyal to the emperor and serve the country and are determined? Therefore, we must try our best to learn from what is known.
Make a reasonable plan based on the intelligence, and as long as there is a supporting explanation in the plan, then you can do it!"
As he said that, Taoist Wei glanced at Niu Da and Guan Xu behind Xu Dalang, and kept sneering: "King Xiongtian thinks that everyone here is shouting that they can't fight. Do they really think that they can't fight? Let me tell you, even if there are people
I really don’t want to fight, I just feel that my home is too far away and I won’t be able to send out many troops, so there won’t be much credit and profit by then!”
Niu Da was furious and stood up on the spot, ignoring the glances from the sidelines: "Chief Wei can talk nonsense here for free, but at the moment, do you have a reasonable plan?"
I don’t know how many times the hall fell silent.
And this time, the time was inexplicably long... After all, the silence at the beginning was probably because everyone was unwilling to get involved between Niu Da and Wei Xuanding, two big shots with a feud, but later on, it was obvious that
sentence.
No one could come up with a plan that made sense.
And to be honest, it would be difficult to expect anyone from this grassroots team composed of local tycoons and low-level officials to come up with a decent plan.
But, we do need something like this.
Yes, trust me, just act according to the current situation, if you have some dates and no dates, try it out. If you succeed, it will be famous all over the world. At least it will make those people in the east look at you; but no, it will be an outright military thing.
An adventure, and a military adventure initiated proactively when there is no big crisis... To put it bluntly, he deserves to die, and he still has to make the world laugh.
"You can't underestimate the heroes of the world." After a long while, Zhang Xing sat still and said nothing. "There must be a plan that makes sense. As long as it makes sense on paper, we can achieve a 30-50 victory.
, it will be enough to attack, and even if it fails by then, it will be enough to give an explanation to everyone in the gang; but if not, then it means we are incompetent and we lack wisdom, so we should not do anything to attack the stone with an egg...Xu Dalang!"
"Hey!" Xu Shiying was inexplicably nervous and stood up quickly. "Third brother, please tell me."
Niuda, who was sitting on one side, looked at it in surprise, but could only remain silent.
"You just said it's not possible militarily. One means marching on the snow, the other means there are insufficient troops...right?" Zhang Xing still sat still.
"yes."
"So what are you going to do?"
"It is best to wait until they pass Liangjun and go to Qiaojun. There are only three thousand troops in Qiaojun. In addition, they can use Dangshan Mountain as a foothold, rest in the middle, and then bring Dangshan troops with them. This may not be a military advantage.
..." Xu Dalang responded seriously. "And in this case, even if the local officers and soldiers were alerted by passing through Dang County, the report would only be reported to Liang County. We would not inform the queen until it was reported that Liang County was in charge of Songcheng.
It’s been done.”
At this point, Xu Shiying added sincerely: "This is an idea I came up with after my third brother said before that the imperial officers and soldiers only swept the snow in front of their own house. I don't know if it is right or not."
Zhang Xing nodded slightly, and the people around him were relieved.
Because this is at least a way to solve the problem, and it sounds feasible.
"Chef Fan." After nodding, Zhang Xing turned to look at the leader from Dangshan. "Did Wang Zhen tell you...how many troops can Dangshan send?"
Chef Fan was startled and stopped talking.
"I have killed all the prime ministers, and I am the leader of the robber queen here, and I am the founder of the Dragon Gang." Zhang Xing was speechless. "Do you still think that I am the former Jing'antai performing official duties?"
Chef Fan touched his fat belly, swallowed his breath, and tried to speak calmly: "Four to five thousand people!"
"So few?" Zhang Xing was surprised for a moment. "Is the world good? When did Dangshan lack thieves?"
"Not good, but nowadays it is better to rebel than to be a thief. Everyone has rebelled, and there are not many thieves." Chef Fan said sincerely.
Zhang Xing actually had nothing to say.
"Four or five thousand people are enough." Xu Shiying quickly responded. "And if we fight in Liangjun, it will be 140,000 against 10,000. If we fight in Qiaojun, it will be 14,500 against five or six thousand..."
"If that's the case, it can be done." Xiao Zhou finally expressed his opinion. "As long as there are more troops, maintain the formation, and intercept the front and rear. Even if they can't stop the other practitioners, as long as they deal with it properly, the team in the palace will definitely
To be continued...
