Chapter 1,749 Let’s go first, you stay and play the piano
"My dear nephew, we will definitely not make those small mistakes in the official documents next time. However, my dear nephew, these copying and calculation tasks can only be done by a small official, and they cannot show their ability.
"
Uncle Zhu Shouren, Hu Wei, and Xia Qiang whispered to each other for a moment, then nodded, walked up to Zhu Pingan with their hands behind their backs, and defended their mistakes with disapproval.
"Then what can show your ability?" Zhu Ping'an twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly.
"We are all people with great minds and talents. We should do big things and difficult things, and we should not be limited to the trivial affairs of these small officials. As an old saying in our hometown goes, kill the chicken.
If you can't test your skills, you can only show your true qualities as a man by going into the mountains and killing tigers." Uncle Zhu Shouren said with confidence.
Hu Shao and Natsumi also nodded.
You can't even do such a small thing well, yet you still have the nerve to claim that you are someone who can do big things?! It's really ridiculous and overconfident.
"Then what's the big deal?" Zhu Ping'an said while holding back his words.
"Of course it's about strategizing and winning a battle thousands of miles away. It's a strategic matter that requires the use of brains," the uncle said.
"Well, let me give you a difficult problem and ask you for advice."
Seeing the unconvinced and confident expressions of his uncle and the other three people, Zhu Pingan twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly and spoke slowly.
"My dear nephew/Master Zhu, please speak." Uncle Zhu Shouren and the other three said straightly.
"Currently, there are more than 40,000 Japanese pirates entrenched in Tuolin and other places. If the Japanese pirates entrenched in Tuolin and other places suddenly attack Suzhou City in large numbers and send 20,000 troops to surround our Zhejiang Army's Fengqiao Camp, how can we solve it?"
Zhu Pingan said slowly.
"Ahem, nephew, how many troops do we have?" the uncle coughed and asked.
Zhu Ping'an was speechless. When I asked you to buy food, gunpowder and weapons, didn't I tell you the number of our troops?!
"Brother Zhu, the Zhejiang Army has a total strength of two thousand." Hu Wei reminded from the side.
"Ahem, yes, I just remembered after asking, it was two thousand." Uncle Zhu Shouren blushed a little.
"We have two thousand troops, and there are twenty thousand Japanese pirates surrounding us, two thousand, twenty thousand..." Xia Qiang closed his eyes and meditated, and moved his fingers.
After about a few seconds, Xia Qiang's fingers stopped listening, and his eyes suddenly opened, as if a bonfire was lit up in his eyes. He held his head high and said, "Sir, this is easy to hear."
Hu Wei and his uncle Zhu Shouren looked at Xia Qiang with surprise. Before they could think of a solution, Xia Qiang came out on top.
Zhu Pingan was also surprised.
This problem is not simple. I didn't expect Xia Qiang to have a solution so quickly. Could it be that I just misunderstood him?
Could it be that he is better at strategy than details?!
If the Japanese pirates from the land of Tuolin attack Suzhou, the scenario in the question is really possible, and the probability is not low. If Xia Qiang can give a good plan, then I will really be impressed by him and change my previous plan.
"Mr. Xia, please speak." Zhu Pingan sat up straight and extended his hand with interest to make a gesture of invitation.
In the spotlight of everyone, Xia Qiang cupped his hands and said slowly, "Our army has 2,000 men, and the Japanese pirates surrounding it are 20,000. In this case, as long as each of our troops kills ten Japanese pirates, the matter will be solved."
Damn it!
You leave it here and leave it here.
The math is pretty good. Our army has 2,000 people, and each of them killed ten Japanese pirates. The 20,000 Japanese pirates outside were just killed...
The question is, how can each person kill ten Japanese pirates?! Just move your mouth when you say something?! It’s really like listening to your words!
Zhu Pingan...
After hearing Xia Qiang's words, Hu Wei's nervousness disappeared instantly. He thought that Xia Qiang had taken the lead first. Fortunately, Xia Qiang was as useless as ever and did not cover up the opportunity.
"Good nephew, good nephew, I have an idea." At this time, uncle Zhu Shouren's voice sounded.
"Uncle, please speak."
Zhu Pingan said calmly, after experiencing Xia Qiang's answer, he no longer had any expectations for them.
"My dear nephew, we can use the empty city strategy. Let's leave first and you stay and play the piano. The Japanese pirates will retreat."
Uncle Zhu Shouren said with excitement, "Fortunately, I am well-read and thought of the Empty City Strategy at the critical moment."
After Zhu Pingan heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched...
"It's true, my dear nephew. Sima Yi led an elite army of more than 100,000 people and retreated when they encountered the empty city plan. The Japanese pirates only have 20,000 people, so they will definitely retreat faster."
Uncle Zhu Shouren saw Zhu Ping'an's expression that was hard to explain, and quickly defended his plan.
"Brother Zhu, please step back. You are not the only one who has seen the empty city plan. There are many Chinese among the Japanese pirates. There are not only 8,000 but also 800 people who have seen the empty city plan. Aren't you harming Mr. Zhu?!"
Hu Wei tugged on Zhu Shouren's sleeve and shook his head.
"Then do you have any good ideas?" Uncle Zhu Shouren asked Hu Wei.
"I... have a plan. Thirty-six strategies are the best. We are small and there is no need to be buried with Suzhou City. The target of the Japanese pirates is Suzhou City. As long as we get out of the gap first before the Japanese pirates encircle them, the Japanese pirates will
They will definitely not waste their troops chasing us." Hu Wei came up with a plan under his uncle's rhetorical question.
After hearing this, uncle Zhu Shouren touched his chin and nodded, "Well, Brother Hu came up with it based on my idea. My idea is that we leave first, and my nephew stays behind to play the piano and sing the empty city plan. Brother Hu, you
It means that my good nephew will no longer play the piano or sing empty city strategies, and will come with us."
"This is also a way." Xia Qiang also nodded.
"If I flee without fighting, the Japanese pirates will spare me, the military law will not spare me, the Holy Spirit will not spare me, and the people who died unjustly will not spare me."
Zhu Ping'an said speechlessly.
"Our troops are too few and there are too many Japanese pirates. What can we do?"
"This is totally unexplainable. My dear nephew, aren't you trying to force someone into a difficult situation?"
The three uncles shook their heads and said.
"Is there no solution for two thousand against twenty thousand? There are many such things in history. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Li Shimin led more than three thousand Xuanjia troops to fight against Kou Jiande's one hundred thousand army. Three thousand against one hundred thousand is no better than two thousand against twenty thousand. Is there no solution? As a result, Li Shimin first used himself as a bait to lure thousands of Kou Jiande's pursuers into an ambush and annihilate them, then harassed Kou Jiande's grain transport team with a thousand light cavalry, then ordered the cavalry to disrupt Kou Jiande's army formation, and finally led the Three thousand Xuanjia troops marched straight in, captured the thieves first and captured the king, broke through Dou Jiande's middle army, captured Dou Jiande alive, and completed the battle of destroying one hundred thousand with three thousand."
"There was also the Battle of Xiangyang in the second year of Kaixi of the Song Dynasty. The defenders of Xiangyang were less than 10,000, but the Jin soldiers who attacked the city were as many as 200,000. Zhao Chun, the defender of Xiangyang, collected grain and grass supplies, strengthened the walls and cleared the fields, collected weapons, and rushed to make crossbows. Xiang was defended with less than 10,000 lone troops.
Yang, defeated the Jin army of 200,000."
"Also during the Rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Jin Dynasty, Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, left Youji, and Sima Yong, the king of Hejian, left Guanzhong. The two armies and horses totaled 300,000, and attacked Luoyang. However, the Luoyang Forbidden Army only had about 30,000 people, and the Forbidden Army Commander-in-Chief Ching Shao led the imperial army to defeat the Chengdu King's army of more than 200,000. The King of Hejian, who had more than 50,000 troops, was frightened and wanted to flee in panic. If Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, had not made a coup and hijacked the Jin Emperor to seize Ching Shao's military power, history would have been a mess. Not today."
"Although our Zhejiang Army has only 2,000 troops, it has many firearms and is good at defense. It has also hired grain, gunpowder and weapons. Relying on Fengqiao, low walls and sentry forts, defending Fengqiao Camp is not a problem. The only problem is how to solve it. The siege of Suzhou City requires careful planning."
Zhu Pingan shook his head slightly and said slowly to them.
The uncle and the other three looked at each other and fell silent...
