Compared with previous years, the "return to the south" in the south came earlier this year.
It was just early February, and the humidity was already rising. Everywhere was wet, and it would slip if you were not careful when walking.
Let's look at the rolling mountains of Wuzhishan in Qiongzhou, which are shadowy and unreal under the gray sky. The mist hangs low between the mountains and the wind and clouds disperse, as if you have entered a fairyland on earth.
Qi Yu suddenly stopped his horse, shook his raincoat, and looked ahead.
ah!
It’s so charming and exquisite!
It's a pity that the banquet turned into a smoky place. What a pity, what a pity!
But it doesn't matter, I, Qi Dalang, will regain this place and reorganize the country to restore the glory of the past.
Yes, the time has come for the troops to arrive.
A miscellaneous army composed of the government army and naturalized Japanese pirates has now arrived in Qiongnan and is approaching Wuzhi Mountain.
"Master Qi, please don't lie to me!"
Along the way, Harry kept asking about the specific situation, fearing that the trip would be in vain.
In fact, his choice of words is a bit inappropriate. It would be more appropriate to use "compensate for the wife and lose the army".
Qi Yu smiled and said: "You also know that I am a real person, how could I tell lies to deceive you? Ahem, it is rumored that there is indeed a grand ancient tomb hidden in this mountain range, and there are even rumors that,
There are so many funerary objects in this tomb, just the tip of an iceberg is enough to last a lifetime."
After a pause, he continued: "In addition to these treasures, it is said that Na Yan's net worth is also quite high. There is enough evidence to show that he has looted a lot of food in the past. Well, I will reveal it again
Let me give you a top-secret news. All the greedy money of the former magistrate was robbed by him! You said, wouldn’t it be a pity to leave such a fat sheep unslaughtered? "
The first half of the sentence was false, but the second half was true. Overall, it was a mixture of true and false, which made it difficult for Harry to distinguish.
That banquet is very rich? Is it true?
It is indeed true!
After the prefect of Qiongzhou died in the line of duty unexpectedly, Na Yan took advantage of the leaderless situation and waited for an opportunity to rebel. His first act was to bloodbath the former prefect's private residence, which resulted in a huge harvest.
Harry thought about it carefully and became more at ease again.
Haha, the future is very promising!
Gao Zhongde, the governor of the government army, did not think so. He felt that this military operation was simply nonsense.
What to say?
Look, he is a general of the regular army, but now he is reduced to being with the Japanese pirates. If this spreads out, how embarrassing will it be?
well……
I was deceived by Mr. Qi...
According to what he said, there were indeed five thousand soldiers assisting the battle this time. Unexpectedly, they were Fuso soldiers from the enemy.
What's even worse is that we have to fight together with them!
In response to this, Qi Yu gave him a psychological massage and explained to him: "Tsang said, rocks from other mountains can be used to attack jade. As long as I allow it, everything can be used for my use. What's wrong with that?"
All right!
Gao Zhongde sighed after hearing this and had no choice but to give up the appointment.
However, he was secretly observing to see if Lord Qi was proficient in military affairs.
It turned out that although Qi Yu was just a civil servant, he was familiar with daily military affairs, and all arrangements were handled properly without any chaos.
How did he know that Mr. Qi had actually led "soldiers" before. Moreover, he had personally directed so-called battles, but the scale and number of people were relatively small.
Yes, it was the previous battle in Shandong Juyeze.
For Qi Yu, it was fortunate that he had that experience at his disposal. If he had been asked to dispatch thousands of troops right from the start, he would not have been able to handle it.
Everyone needs to grow and evolve step by step, even Qi Yu, a time traveler, is no exception.
Since it was currently a coalition of two parties, there were two commanders, Gao Zhongde and Harry. Adhering to the correct principle of working in one place, Qi Yu volunteered to be the commander-in-chief of the operation this time.
There is no other way, who can tell those two guys not to prey on the other?
If there is no "martial arts leader" who can suppress them, this battle will be impossible to fight.
Thus, a strange official position came into being.
Qi Dalang proclaimed himself the commander-in-chief of the bandit suppression, taking charge of all powers, while Gao Zhongde and Harry were responsible for practical work.
Finally, the initiative was forced to pass.
…
Not long after, a scout suddenly came to report: "To the commander-in-chief, our army has reached the bandit area and is less than thirty miles away from the main mountain of Wuzhi Mountain..."
Oh, so close?
Upon hearing this, Qi Yu hurriedly stopped the troops' advance.
Gao Zhongde looked at the sky and suggested: "Commander-in-Chief, let's set up camp first. One person will organize the troops and horses, and the other person will make detailed arrangements."
"Yeah! Okay! Zha!"
Qi Yu is very self-aware about actual military arrangements. When he does not know the enemy's situation, he is more willing to adopt the advice of experts.
Following his order, the officers and soldiers under his command began to take action, setting up camp where it was necessary and cooking when it was time to cook.
Half an hour later.
In the newly built Chinese military tent, the first pre-war account discussion began.
Yes, how should we fight this battle?
Qi Yu waved his hand, indicating that everyone should express their opinions.
Gao Zhongde was the first to speak. He believed that this battle should use a horizontal push-style advance with infantry charging in front and archers covering the rear, so as to completely suppress Nayan's resistance with the numerical advantage.
Harry thinks that this battle can be fought in any way, the main thing is to seize the enemy's money and food.
"Well, let me think about it carefully..."
Qi Yu didn't dare to make a decision lightly, so he frowned.
To be honest, he really couldn't bear to crush them in a bloody and brutal way, even though the chances of winning were extremely high.
Mr. Qi, the kindness of women?
of course not!
He felt that most of Na Yan's subordinates were local aboriginal people. They were originally simple and kind-hearted, but they went astray because they were desperate. If he directly ordered the killing, it would be too harmful to the world.
Besides, the people are precious!
No matter what the circumstances, the Chinese army should not raise a machete against its own people. This is the most basic moral bottom line.
But what if we don’t fight?
Haha, yes, try to recruit someone to surrender?
good!
Thinking of this, Qi Yu began to think about it.
Suddenly, he suddenly remembered the 'killing and killing' strategy adopted by the emperor when he attacked Le'an City in Shandong. In the end, the imperial court won the final victory at the minimum cost. Why not learn from it?
Well, it’s also good!
Of course, this link also requires the use of some well-timed strategies to help things succeed.
As far as the current Qiongzhou is concerned, the people are not enlightened, the ecology is primitive, and witchcraft is even prevalent. However, it can be seen from this that although the folk customs here are strong, they lack strategy.
Adhering to the strategic policy of using our strengths to overcome the enemy's weaknesses, the current situation should be a typical time to use surprise.
But how to use this strange thing?
Hey! Got it!
"General Gao!"
"The end is here!"
"Immediately send someone to send a letter of war to that banquet. The book advises him to surrender quickly so that I can give him a lighter sentence. If he is stubborn and tries to fly a moth into the flame, our hundred thousand soldiers will surely step on him.
Level his Wuzhi Mountain." Qi Yu's face straightened and he ordered.
Gao Zhongde first praised: "Mr. Qi first bows his head and then fights. He is very admirable in the style of a Confucian general." Then he added: "What the general doesn't understand is that we clearly only have 10,000 troops, why do we claim to be 100,000?"
"
Qi Yu chuckled and explained: "The one hundred thousand people are called by the name! The name is called, do you understand? It is to make them timid before they fight and create fear." After a pause, he continued: "Qiong people are more brave and less resourceful.
, I just take advantage of their weakness to fight psychological warfare before a battle."
Oh, I understand, it’s a yea!
Qi Yu smiled warmly, turned to Harry and said, "Brother Ha, you immediately arrange for people and order them to build a high platform outside the camp gate. The more conspicuous the better."
"Build a high platform? What is it for?"
"Haha, it's for your practice! How to say, I just want you to perform the same trick you did in Shandong again here."
Deceiving people?
Harry was startled at first, and then said with emotion: "Well, ever since I learned the simple and crude way of doing things, I rarely use Taoism to influence people anymore..."
What, you are said to be fat and swollen?
Qi Yu was too lazy to pay attention to him and hurriedly interrupted: "You don't know something. Qiongzhou is a place where Li, Miao and Yao people live together... Since the education here is not deep, witchcraft is particularly popular. Brother Ha meets
For this reason, why don’t you show off your strengths?”
It seems that some of it is feasible.
Harry smacked his lips, nodded and said, "Okay, tell me, how do you want me to pretend? What should I pretend to be?"
Qi Yu smiled knowingly, and then whispered to him...
