It’s better to rob someone than to rob one’s own people. In Commissioner Li’s view, this is a stupid and mentally retarded operation. However, Commissioner Li is not unable to understand Cai Hou’s position.
After all, I was forced to do nothing. My hometown was raided. Even though I ran away with my gold and silver, I still needed to eat, drink, and eat.
How can legal expropriation alone be enough? It would be even more difficult to give a portion to Zheng Guo.
To quench your thirst with poison, first worry about the trivial matter in front of you.
Moreover, Mr. Li guessed that Cai Hou’s idea must be to pass the blame to Zheng Guo. Then the bad things will be done by foreigners. He can deal with it by rubbing his face and applying some powder.
It's hard to fool big nobles, but how difficult is it to fool small nobles, countrymen and savages?
While Marquis Cai was thinking about dressing up as a Zhengren, Commissioner Li, who was resting in Xincai, was also following his instructions and began to dress up and play.
Infantry units with no armor or light armor can go out and run around twice, just to scare people.
If it can scare the people of Cai, it means that the combined forces of Zheng and Cai must have a large number of troops. If they return to rescue Cai's troops, they may still be the main force of Zheng.
At the same time, on the Gangshan Mountain northwest of Shangcai, the capital of Cai State was built here. As time went by, only the incomplete city walls remained.
But even so, the "guest soldiers" of Zheng State relied on the favorable terrain and made some minor repairs, making the ruins of Cai State's old capital rejuvenated.
There is no way, even if they are ruins, the width of the north and south city gates on Gangshan is more than ten feet.
"Zi Chejun!"
"It's a pity that Shang Cai's defender will no longer be fooled."
I watched the mobilization of Shangcai's defenders from a distance. Since the camp of Zheng's troops was overrun, a large number of Zheng's soldiers and prisoners of war were imprisoned on the north side of Gangshan.
Under normal circumstances, it is more troublesome to imprison, but here in Okayama, because of the advanced technology...the hemp rope noose, a specialty of Gangin-eup.
This is a lot easier.
With the same set of heads and hands, and a group of ten prisoners of war, there is no need to worry about them running away.
You can't run away anyway!
The person who came to Gangshan to preside over the battle was Zuoqu Ma Ziche Baihui. However, after arriving in Gangshan, the people of Qin no longer called him by official title and only called him "Zi Chejun". Although it was still revealed that he was a duke of Qin State,
But it is also a necessary means.
Some of Zheng's "guest soldiers" are not also from the old Qin, and may not have the same heart as the Qin people, but they will still buy it when they see the nobles of the Qin people.
If you can make a living, you will obviously have a future by following the nobles.
Zi Che Bai Butt did not just look after and raise horses for the Marquis of Qin in Xianyang of the Qin State. He actually followed the Marquis of Qin in several foreign wars.
Previously, Zheng's "guest soldiers" entered the outside of Shangcai City in batches, which was his arrangement.
In order to prevent the news from spreading, many "guest soldiers" of unknown origins did not contact each other. These "guest soldiers" were often the ones Li Jie failed to bribe.
Those who were successfully bribed by Li Jie were integrated into a whole, and people recognized as prestigious among the "guest soldiers" came to take charge of the overall situation.
On the surface, it is Gao Weasel Lifu who is a "rich man", but in fact Gao Weasel Lifu is in the light, and Zi Che Bai Butt is in the dark.
This also shows that Gao Weasel Lifu is not just a merchant accompanying the army. He is obviously one of the international spies sent by Qin State, but his scope of activity happens to be in Zheng State.
Zi Che Bai Butt first let the "guest soldiers" of Zheng Guo attack one of Zheng Guo's camps by surprise, and then immediately coerced Zheng Guo prisoners of war to attack Shang Cai. Unfortunately, he did not seize the opportunity. The troops who stayed behind Shang Cai responded quickly.
Didn't let Zi Che Bai Butt succeed.
When he failed to steal the chicken, Ziche made a decisive decision and ordered the large troops to retreat to Gangshan.
Shangcai has long been a hedge area between great powers, and has many spies. It can be said that they know the local terrain very well. Qin, as a major Western country, is naturally no exception.
Ziche Baihui knew the topography of the entire Gangshan very clearly. At the same time, he also knew where the soil could be cleared and where the soil could be taken.
After retreating to Gangshan, Ziche Baigui continued to lure the enemy with his troops. In addition to the Cai people, the defenders of Shangcai also had some Zheng people.
Because Cai Ren was timid, he did not choose to come back for revenge, but Zheng Ren wanted to repeat his mistakes and teach the "guest soldiers" how to behave.
The result was naturally not so good. Zi Che's trick of luring the enemy was very effective, because the situation at that time was that the number of "guest soldiers" was sparse and their equipment was extremely poor.
When a part of Zheng's troops who stayed behind in Shangcai saw this, they started fighting slowly and attacked the "guest soldiers" position from the southwest side of Gangshan. Before the attack, the Zheng people also asked Cai's guide about the situation in Gangshan and knew that it was in ruins.
After reaching the ruins, they attacked with confidence and boldness.
They never imagined that although Gangshan is small, it has a long slope with a slight slope, but most of it is a mixture of earth and stone. Especially at the ruins of Cai's former capital, most of the ruins are rammed earth walls.
After Zi Che Bai Butu ordered people to clear away the soil covering it, a large height difference naturally formed on the outer layer.
The emptied soil was temporarily filled in the gap, and a simple but usable defense structure reappeared.
The journey from Shangcaicheng to Gangshan is not long, just a few miles, but charging on a gentle slope consumes more energy after all.
By the time they noticed something was wrong at the end of the ramp, Zheng's troops had no time to turn back. First, Zheng's "guest soldiers" condescendingly took advantage of the gap and fired a "Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle". Then, when Zheng's troops wanted to organize the team to retreat, they launched
counterattack.
As Zuo Quma of the Qin State's capital palace, Zi Che Bai Buti did not waste the opportunity to seize this wave and directly defeated the Zheng State troops who launched a hasty attack.
More than two hundred people were beheaded, but many were captured alive.
As a result, the Cai defenders in Shangcai City were frightened to death, and they sent a large number of cavalry messengers to pass the news to Zheng Hou and Cai Hou.
After Zheng's troops suffered heavy losses, Zi Che's method of showing weakness to the enemy after showing off his buttocks was completely useless.
No matter how provocative and taunting they were, the defenders in Shangcai City clearly had an advantage in strength, but they refused to leave the city for a decisive battle.
After realizing that Shangcai was hopeless, Ziche Baigui was not idle. He first counted the prisoners of war, and then had people prepare ships to transport the prisoners away.
In the end, Ziche Baihipu rewarded a wave of "guest soldiers". In addition to the old Qin people, there were also the new Qin people who did not have a strong sense of belonging, as well as those "guest soldiers" who appeared from nowhere.
The people of Qin don't have to worry about asking Zuo Quma for rewards, wages, and bonuses, but the people of New Qin and foreign mercenaries recognize money but not people.
Zi Che Bai Buti naturally knew the style and habits of these vicious dogs, so when he saw that it was absolutely impossible to capture Shangcai, and nothing could be done, he divided the spoils first in Gangshan.
At the same time, Gao Weasel Lifu began to cash out the spoils of the "guest soldiers". When the cash Gao Weasel Lifu took out was the excellent "Ying Yuan" from Chu State, these "guest soldiers" were immediately satisfied. They originally had a small
A few people who were dissatisfied with betraying Marquis Zheng are now completely satisfied!
"What a pity. If the Cai people followed the Zheng people to attack, they might be able to break the city!"
Patting his thigh with some regret, Zi Chebai buttocks and others continued to observe the changes in Shang Cai Shoujun.
"Zi Chejun! Horses coming from the south!"
"Um?!"
Seeing a knight heading towards Shangcai from south to north, Zi Chebai was overjoyed: "It seems that Shangcai's request for help has reached the joint forces of Zheng and Cai! Next, let's see the fierce man of Wu State.
How to act! If we seize the gap, we will definitely defeat the Zheng and Cai coalition forces!"
Fist clapping, Zuo Quma of the Qin State became excited. He had long heard of Li Jie's reputation in the Zheng State. He moved from Jisi to Jianghuai and won consecutive battles. Like the old rival of the Qin State, the Chu State, he actually came to Dabie Mountain.
The famous Yun Zhenlu was also defeated by Li Jie.
As for the level of Zheng Guo's troops, Zi Che Bai Buti knew very well.
"We will see the outcome within two or three days!"
Ziche Baihui even ordered, "Lifu, order you to lead your troops south and keep an eye on Division Zheng's reinforcements!"
