Chapter 2062 Gui Zi Scroll: Deal with it calmly and face it bravely
"Dingfeng, I am the governor of Shaanxi and the Minister of War. If I go to the bank of the Yellow River and watch Wubao County being captured by a gang of mobs, and the common people and gentry become prey, I am incompetent and derelict in my duties!"
Feng Ziying's eyes were blazing, her tone was sonorous and powerful, her hands were placed on the table, and her body was leaning forward slightly.
"You can see clearly by looking at the map. Wu Fort is right on the waist between the central and northern parts of Yan'an Prefecture, strangulating the throat of Shanxi from the east. Its location is particularly important. As far as I know, Anding\Mizhi\ in the north of Yan'an Prefecture
The drought is particularly severe in Suide and even Jiazhou, even worse than Luochuan and Yichuan in the south. The reason why it is still a spark and has not yet turned into a prairie fire is because the army of Yulin Town is in the mighty fort - Yuhe fort.
——The front line of Gaojiabao is watching eagerly. These rebels are not stupid. Many of their leaders are actually deserters and defeated soldiers. There are also many local guards. They know that once they gather together, they may attract the border army.
The attack,..."
Feng Ziying's words made Liu Dingfeng silent.
He has been traveling between Shaanxi, Henan and Shanxi for a long time. He has been a escort for more than ten years and has been to Shaanxi countless times. He is very familiar with the situation in Shaanxi and is no stranger to Wubao.
Wubao County is inconspicuous, but its location is somewhat unique. It is located in the middle of the northeast of Yan'an Prefecture, on the edge of the Yellow River, on the west bank of Qikoudu, and across the river is Shanxi Linxian and Yongning Prefecture.
"But sir, we only have a few people. Even if we enter Wu Fort, it will not help. Unless we can recruit the Yulin Army, it will be too late." Li Guibao knew this topic. Although Liu Dingfeng was familiar with the situation,
But it’s hard to speak, so I can only speak for myself.
It will be at least ten days before the Yulin Army is recruited to move south. According to Liu Dingfeng, Wubao will definitely break the city within three to five days. How meaningful will it be for the Yulin Army to arrive by then?
"The situation may not be as bad as we imagined. Dingfeng, since you can enter and leave the county and cross the river, it means that you are in Wubao and Qikou Ferry, so there must be some relationship, right?" Feng Ziying asked with a smile.
Liu Dingfeng glanced at Li Guibao helplessly. It seemed that he had been guessed correctly. Many things could not be hidden from the other party. He could only nod his head and said: "The villain travels a lot between Henan and Shaanxi. In addition, the door is in Shaanxi."
I also have some business on the side, so I have some connections and acquaintances, so I was able to sneak out of Wubao County."
"Haha, that is to say, if you step back ten thousand steps, I am really trapped in Wubao County. As long as I don't reveal my true identity, you can get me out, right?" Feng Ziying asked again.
Li Guibao frowned, "Sir, this risk is too great. We can't guarantee this kind of thing. If something goes wrong, we can't afford it."
"What can you do without risk? I encountered so many attacks and assassinations on my way to Shaanxi. Isn't this a risk?" Feng Ziying asked back: "Since I'm here, it means that I am mentally prepared to take these risks. Wu
There is no room for failure in Bao County. Only by protecting Wubao County can the lines of Suide, Mizhi, and Jiazhou be prevented from being connected, and even giving these chaos the possibility of entering Shanxi from the east, so I must take this risk.
.”
Seeing that Feng Ziying had made up his mind, Li Guibao had no choice. They were subordinates and could only give suggestions and advice. But once Feng Ziying made up his mind, they could only obey and then do their best to prepare and take precautions to ensure safety.
.
Feng Ziying made up her mind and Li Guibao stopped trying to persuade her. Liu Dingfeng naturally turned the topic to the situation in Wubao County.
If you want to keep the security of Wubao County, you must make a detailed and specific analysis of the situation of both the enemy and ourselves, know yourself and the enemy, choose the opponent's weaknesses, and use your own advantages to put the opponent at a disadvantage as much as possible.
And then achieve the goal.
"Tell me about the current situation inside and outside Wubao County. I believe that since you went to Wubao in advance and have some connections there, you should have some knowledge of this." Feng Ziying stared at Liu Dingfeng.
Every word is authentic.
Liu Dingfeng pondered for a moment, seeming to be considering how to deal with such a difficult problem. Should he exaggerate and scare the other party away, or should he introduce it truthfully and let the other party make a decision?
After thinking about it again and again, Liu Dingfeng finally sighed to himself. He could only tell the truth. As his uncle said, the other party was determined and would not change his decision easily. Moreover, it was said that the other party had already arranged for people to enter Shaanxi.
You may not be as deep into the border areas as you are, but sooner or later you will have to know these situations. If you exaggerate, you will destroy the cooperation between the two parties.
After figuring this out, Liu Dingfeng no longer struggled and talked about it.
"At present, the city is also divided into two larger forces. One is the county magistrate Xia Zhiling, who leads three squads of about 50 government officials and more than 300 people. The other is the leaders of the squire who fled into the city.
The local gentry headed by He Boju has a strong family of Ding family slaves, about five hundred people." Liu Dingfeng hesitated for a moment, then continued: "There are also the gentry and merchants living in the city. They also have some guards, servants and clan members.
But Wubao County is too small, and this group of people is weak. I made a preliminary estimate that the total number is only about a hundred people, so I didn't include them in the calculation. Moreover, they seem to be connected with the rebels outside the city."
Feng Ziying smiled and glanced at Li Guibao, "Guibao, it seems that Dingfeng is not unprepared. If you inquired in such detail, isn't it because you are considering that I might also have to use these powers to resist?"
Li Guibao and Liu Dingfeng both smiled awkwardly. Indeed, they had also considered that Feng Ziying would take risks. These situations must be grasped in advance to prepare for them.
It's just that they thought it was too risky and didn't agree with it. But Feng Ziying made the decision and they could only risk their lives to accompany the gentleman.
"Dingfeng, what about your people?" Feng Ziying smiled, "Since you have done all this, you don't have any countermeasures, right?"
Liu Dingfeng gritted his teeth, "After receiving the arrangement from our uncle, we did make some preparations. In addition to the four of us arriving in Wubao County in advance, we also invited some fellow Jianghu practitioners from neighboring counties in Shaanxi, Shanxi and Henan.
But things happen in a hurry, and this is a life-and-death matter, so many people may not be willing to come..., so it is estimated that there will be about thirty or forty people around Wubao County within two or three days..."
Feng Ziying sighed in her heart, this is the appeal of a large sect.
It’s quite extraordinary to send out a hero post and still get thirty or fifty people gathered even though you know it’s a journey to the mountains of swords, fire, sea and tigers.
Shaolin's influence in this northern land is self-evident, and of course this is also due to Shaolin's cooperation with the government.
These Jianghu sects are more willing to see a stable court situation, and they are born to hate these chaotic people who disrupt the situation. They belong to vested interests and are born to be collaborators with the court and officials.
Wubao County is very small. The total number of people in the city is only four to five thousand. That is to say, the business travel between Shanxi and Shaanxi at Qikou Ferry in the south makes this small county lively. But even so, there are only a few thousand people, and even
None of the guardsmen were stationed.
"Very good, the Shaolin party supports me, I will definitely keep it in mind." Feng Ziying nodded, "What about the situation of these rebels outside the city?"
"There are about three groups of rebels gathered outside the city. One group is bribed by the common people, the two brothers Digging Tiger and Mountain Climbing Scorpion. There are seven or eight hundred people, most of whom are from the Qinghegou area in the west of the county; there is another group.
The group is led by Waitianqi, mainly from Fenghuang Ridge, Suide. The number of troops is about 1,500, and it is still increasing. This group is the largest and has the strongest combat effectiveness. Waotianqi is in the east and even east of Suidezhou.
The prestige of Wubao County is very high, and the local people are also very supportive. As early as the year before last, they gathered at Fenghuangling and Bochuling in the east of Suidezhou..."
"Fifteen hundred people?" Feng Ziying frowned. If they were divided into several small troops, it would be easy to deal with them, but with such a dominant force and the leader's high prestige, it would be troublesome.
"Well, I guess the number of people coming to vote for them is still increasing in the past few days. Maybe there are about 2,000 people now." Liu Dingfeng's face didn't look good, and he obviously realized that this force was the most troublesome.
"Is there another one?" Feng Ziying calmed down and continued to ask.
"There is also a force called Huatuijianhu, about 1,200 people. They are from Caowu Mountain in Qingjian. They crossed the Wuding River to be shaken because they failed to create weapons with Qingjian.
Tianqi invites us to attack Wubao County." Liu Dingfeng said that he had many treasures from his family.
Feng Ziying silently calculated that there were nearly 4,000 troops. If we did not calculate the combat effectiveness of these rebels compared with the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers in the city, just looking at the number of people, the rebels already had the strength to break through Wubao County, especially in these areas.
The rebel army still had internal support in the city, and many gentry might also be thinking of suing for peace and compromise, so they were more likely to be defeated.
Digging Tiger, Leaping Stream Tiger, Waving Sky Flag, these names are indeed in line with the titles of those grass-headed kings in the late Ming Dynasty in the previous life. However, calculating the timeline, there should be about thirty years between the great uprising in the late Ming Dynasty.
That's right.
But this era is already different from the previous era, the late Ming Dynasty. This is the Zhou Dynasty, and the timeline has long been messed up. Although many people and forces still exist, it itself has undergone tremendous changes.
"In other words, among these three groups, except for the Earth-Drilling Tigers, who are local to Wubao, the others are from neighboring prefectures and counties? Suide, Qingjian,..." Feng Ziying rubbed her chin and asked, "There are other rebels here.
Are there any activities in this area? I remember you mentioned that there are rebels gathering around here?"
