He is no match for Jia Xu in chess, let alone Go.
Wang Ding still likes to play chess with Fan Chou. Although he is not guaranteed to win, he can win two out of three games.
Compared to Go, generals like Fan Chou and Xu Huang obviously also prefer chess.
The data to be calculated in Go is too huge, and in their opinion, it is not as exciting as chess.
Chess is more like fighting on the battlefield, killing generals and capturing flags.
While Wang Ding and Jia Xu and Fan Chou were playing chess, Zhang Wei in the city also kept people watching the situation of the Han army outside the city.
I heard that the Han army has been silent all the time, and even Wang Ding has not gone out. Only then can Zhang Wei sleep peacefully.
Just don't move. It's not very good for everyone to get along peacefully like this. Why do we have to fight and kill each other?
When Wang Ding didn't come, Zhang Wei lived very comfortably every day.
In the first few days after Wang Ding arrived, Zhang Wei couldn't sleep well. If there was a little noise in the middle of the night, he thought it was the Han army invading.
Especially when he heard that Wang Ding took people with him to observe the terrain outside Wudu City every day, he felt that Wang Ding had some conspiracy.
Now seeing Wang Ding, who is also staying in the camp and playing chess with his subordinates every day, Zhang Wei finally feels that he can have a good rest.
Little did he know that Wang Ding had spread the news about Wang Ding's daily chess play on purpose, just to paralyze Zhang Wei.
A full month has passed since Wang Ding arrived in Wudu.
Zhang Lu, who was in Hanzhong, was always paying attention to the situation here. In order to prevent the grain transport team from being attacked, Zhang Lu also sent an extra thousand soldiers to escort him.
But Zhang Wei and Zhang Lu didn't know yet that in the next half month, a thousand elite Han troops had been mixed into Wudu City.
Wang Ding only had 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, which made Zhang Lu relax his vigilance, thinking that Wang Ding was just testing the enemy now and that Wang Ding was still waiting for the large army to arrive.
Zhang Lu believes that Wang Ding will launch an attack at that time.
Now, both sides are still in the preparation stage.
Within half a month, Cheng Yin also found an opportunity to send out the information he had found out.
The east and north gates have not been opened once in the past month.
However, there are not many soldiers guarding the west gate, and the soldiers are relatively relaxed. People come into the city every day, and they only do a little interrogation. If they put some money in, they will let them go without asking.
The same is true for those leaving the city.
Zhang Wei didn't pay attention to it, and the soldiers guarding the city gate naturally didn't care either. They even collected some money for themselves, secretly rejoicing and wondering if they should have some fun at night.
Wang Ding looked at the information sent back by Cheng Yin and said: "There were only a thousand soldiers at the west gate and the south gate at night, and many of them fled in the middle of the night."
"The main forces in the city are now gathered at the north gate and east gate, each with 5,000 people."
In addition, the military camp in the city is located near the north gate, and there are 10,000 soldiers in the military camp.
Zhang Wei spent most of his time in the prefect's mansion in Wudu City, rarely going out, and spending most of his day studying Taoist books.
He is the number two figure in the Five Dou Rice Sect.
In half a month, Cheng Yin provided complete information.
In addition to the above information, a drawing of the roads in the city is also attached.
Wang Dingdao: "Sir, with this information, it will be just around the corner to conquer Wudu."
Jia Xu nodded: "Zhang Wei is obsessed with studying Taoism. The guards in the west and south of the city are empty. The army in the city is mainly gathered in the north and east of the city. If we attack from the west gate, the defenders at the city gate will need at least two quarters of an hour to catch up.
To.
If we attack the south gate, it will take half an hour for the defenders in the north of the city to arrive to support us."
Wang Ding said: "Then attack the south gate and let Cheng Yin cooperate in the city."
Jia Xu shook his head: "Let's attack the west gate. The number of defenders at the south gate and west gate is about the same, but compared to the south gate, the soldiers at the west gate are more corrupt."
Jia Xu believed that the Nanmendou defenders were more elite and would have stronger resistance in the event of a surprise attack.
On the other hand, on the west gate side, it is estimated that Cheng Yinzhi needs to lead people, and he can defeat the thousand defenders with one charge.
Two quarters of an hour is completely enough.
Wang Dingzhi just considered the issue of time. In his mind, the later the local support is provided, the more beneficial it will be for them.
Wang Ding then asked: "Sir, when do you think the attack will be launched?"
Jia Xu said: "Now that the situation is clear, we should take this matter sooner rather than later to avoid changes."
Wang Ding nodded and said to Fan Chou: "Fan Chou, you are entering the city today and cooperating with Cheng Yin."
Wang Ding did not explain how you will act after entering the city.
He is not in the city, so Fan Chou and Cheng Yin need to judge for themselves how many people should attack the defenders in the west of the city and how many people can prevent possible support.
Cheng Yin and Fan Chou are also veterans on the battlefield.
Fan Chou said: "Here."
He clasped his fists and spoke loudly.
Finally, I can make meritorious deeds again.
Fan Chou took off his armor, put on a coarse shirt, and rolled up his sleeves.
He didn't even bring any weapons, he just brought three ordinary soldiers, also pretending to be ordinary farmers.
Several other people also prepared five buckets of rice and quietly came to the west gate. When there were more than thirty people outside the city, they blended into the crowd silently.
On the west gate side, there is only a corner door, and there are more than ten soldiers in charge of the door.
Every citizen who enters will be interrogated, and their luggage must be opened and checked to ensure that there are no weapons or other threatening items.
Soon it was Fan Chou's turn, and Fan Chou said angrily: "I want to enter the city and join the Five Pecks of Rice Sect."
As he spoke, he raised the bag of rice in his hand.
It seems that joining the Five Dou Rice Cult is something to be very proud of.
These soldiers were all under Zhang Lu, so naturally they all joined the Five Pecks of Rice Cult early. Seeing that Fan Chou also wanted to join, a smile appeared on his face and he patted Fan Chou on the shoulder.
"After entering the city, go to the prefect's mansion and hand over five measures of rice, and you will become a believer in the future. Work hard, and you will be promoted to sacrificial wine in the future."
"Okay, thank you, Master Jun." Fan Chou smiled naively.
"Go in." The soldier let him go without checking the bag in Fan Chou's hand.
In the eyes of the soldiers, this was dedicated to the Heavenly Master, and they did not dare to act rashly.
Fan Chou and three soldiers successfully sneaked into the city, then went to the prefect's mansion and handed five measures of rice to a believer. Zhang Wei would not go out of his way to see newcomers like them.
In just a short period of time, the Five Pecks of Rice Sect has already started a prairie fire in Hanzhong. Except for its territory, which is not as good as the Taiping Sect of the past, it is actually stronger than the previous Yellow Turban Army.
Today, there are at least 50,000 to 60,000 believers in Wudu and Hanzhong.
Moreover, this number is still increasing rapidly every day. In a few months, it may exceed 100,000.
Fan Chou handed over five buckets of rice, saw the believer, registered his name, and then gave him a sign with the word five buckets of rice engraved on it, indicating that he was already the most ordinary believer of the Five Bucks of Rice Sect.
