But there are exceptions.

"General Murong has something to say?" Xue Changxiong glanced around and immediately noticed that one of the people in front hesitated for a moment and immediately stopped.

"It's like this. The general thought that since we have started to build mountains of earth and erect houses, and even to the point where water and fire are intertwined, it is time to let go." Murong Zhengyan solemnly ordered and handed over his hands. "But I am worried about trouble."

"It's okay."

.”

"The general's meaning is actually very simple...that's why we only attack the stronghold and not the heart?" Murong Zhengyan felt relieved before answering.

Below Xue Changxiong, all the generals in the camp were stunned.

"Since the beginning of the war, when everyone was discussing the military situation, the general has been thinking about this matter. Today, after learning that there seems to be a spy in the army, he is even more puzzled... Why are the thieves not afraid of spies? We also have a large army to suppress the border, and they are alone in carrying a large river.

Logically speaking, they should be more likely to panic if they stick to the defense, but why don't they waver? Isn't it possible that in the past two years we were too harsh on the rebels and killed them so ruthlessly that they were afraid?" Murong Zhengyan asked seriously.

"Is the current situation still so harsh?"

Xue Changxiong nodded slowly, and everyone in the army understood what Murong Zhengyan meant.

"The thieves cannot be trusted." Cao Shancheng said with a hint of helplessness. "Don't forget about Mr. Zhang."

"That's true." Xue Wanbi unexpectedly stood on the same side as Cao Shancheng.

"It's not just the thieves who can't be trusted." Luo Shu also smiled. "What's more important is that even the thieves may not believe someone who surrenders before the battle."

"It's not really about recruiting a large number of traitors to surrender, nor is it hoping that a large group of traitors will sincerely surrender. It's just a pre-battle method to shake their military morale and seduce a few unsteady traitors in order to obtain information." Murong

Zhengyan said sincerely. "Of course, if someone really comes to surrender, why don't we protect him while giving him real treatment and setting an example, so that the bandit army can collapse?"

"What General Murong said is right." Xue Changxiong heard this and nodded immediately. "It's just a strategy before the battle. You should try everything... How to operate it specifically? As General Luo said, even before the battle,

, thieves may not believe us."

"Let's pretend that someone has taken refuge with us first," Murong Zhengyan blurted out. "Tomorrow we will go to Tushan and give him gold, silver, wealth, and official positions to make a show. At the same time, he will write leaflets and shout out words like Zhang San opposite... to lure the thieves to surrender.

.”

"Okay." Xue Changxiong nodded immediately.

Then he paused and suddenly came to see his confidant Chen Bin: "Chen Sima, please remember General Murong's meritorious service and reward him with ten pieces of brocade!"

Everyone's spirits were lifted.

No matter what, General Xue's gesture was always good, and many people praised him for a while.

Seeing this situation, Qian Tang hesitated for a moment and then simply said: "I have a plan."

Xue Changxiong was slightly surprised, but he also raised his hand and sincerely asked for advice: "Qian Fujun, please speak."

The rest of the people also listened with bated breath.

"In fact, from our perspective, the root cause of the stalemate in this battle is not only the excessive killings in the previous two years, but also another matter, which is that the Hejian army has always looted excessively... so much so that the soldiers and auxiliary soldiers from the county were recruited,

All the people have resentments." Qian Tang spoke seriously. "Please ask the general to issue a notice acknowledging the crimes committed by the Hejian camp, punish several Xue family members as a gesture, and then declare that if the battle is won, all of Hebei will be exempted from the crime next year.

We will only obtain military supplies from Ji County and ensure that we will not disturb the people again... In this way, the people's hearts will return, and Zhang Xing's previous heart-warming propaganda will naturally be ineffective, and this battle can be won!"

After saying this, there was a moment of silence in the military tent.

Many people didn't realize what was going on... Those who did didn't know what to say? Call him pedantic, it seems to make sense? Call him mocking, he seems to be upright? But

It is even more nonsense to say that this person’s words are appropriate and not mixed with resentment and emotion!

Xue Wanbi and others wanted to criticize them for "punishing the Xue family's children," but they seemed to feel that the atmosphere was not right.

Xue Changxiong was stunned for a long time, and then slowly said: "Is Mr. Qian Fu serious?"

"Does General Xue think I am here to be sarcastic?" Qian Tang raised his hands in response. "This is what I have wanted to say for a long time! What I have wanted to say since I took office! And it is not just me, but what many people want to say.

It's just that I had the honor to see General Xue today and encouraged me to speak out. General, it's never too late to calm people's hearts."

Xue Changxiong had no expression on his face. He didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. He was silent for a long time before finally speaking: "What Mr. Qian Fu said makes sense, but doing so before the battle will actually frustrate oneself and shake the morale of the army. Let's talk about it after the war."

.”

Cao Shancheng immediately came to persuade Qian Tang: "Master Qian Fu, as the general said, we will talk about it after the war."

Qian Tang nodded and didn't care. He just handed over his hand and returned to the queue.

The next moment, Xue Changxiong suddenly turned around and asked: "Chen Sima, that Zhou Prefect of Bohai, why hasn't he arrived yet? Does he regard my military orders as nothing?"

Chen Bin quickly bowed his head: "I will write a letter to urge you."

Then he turned around and left in a hurry.

The people around him reacted, but they didn't look at Chen Bin. Instead, they only looked at Qian Tang. As for Qian Mansion Lord, he just stood there with his head held high and his chest upright, standing still. Everyone had no choice but to remain silent.

At the same time, the Gang was also having a military meeting, but there was no priority here. Instead, a group of people sat around, and on the periphery were a group of young officers and clerks who helped summarize and analyze information.

At this time, Wang Shuyong, who came back from the front line, reported the situation as a matter of course: "The officers and soldiers are still raising the mountain, and we cannot sit idly by and ignore it."

"We will also raise the height of the wooden house." Shan Tonghai blurted out.

"No, it's not that simple." Zhou Xingfan immediately explained. "I have no experience in building this kind of building, but there is a talk about siege towers in the military books. According to the above, if the siege tower is half as high, the entire tower must be three times as wide.

The wood used must also be replaced with the best wood, so there is no need to think about the same for the house."

"I'm just afraid it will collapse." Shan Tonghai immediately woke up.

"Actually, those three-story houses on the front line today are obviously not strong." Wang Wulang quickly added. "They are only supported by fences and trenches."

"The ditch became the foundation, and the fence became the support." Dou Lide said sternly. "The principles are the same. It is no different from building a house or building a building."

"Then can we dig a hole to make the foundation?" Xiong Bonan also asked seriously. "After we stabilize it, continue to build the fourth and fifth floors. The upper two floors are narrower."

[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, www.yeguoyuedu.com to install the latest version.]

"Sure." Shan Tonghai waved his hand and said, "That's how it all works."

Many people around me nodded relaxedly.

This is a good phenomenon. This group of people who lack high-level war experience have gradually gained confidence in the war itself through trial and error, and have also gained a certain degree of professionalism... To put it bluntly, everyone is gradually letting go.

Zhang Xing also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene.

But immediately, a thought flashed through his mind, and then he suddenly laughed: "We are in trouble."

Everyone looked at it in surprise.

"Why do we have to dig the foundation?" Zhang Xing said with a smile. "Why don't we just build the soil outside the house?"

Everyone suddenly realized that it was indeed the case. It was Hutu before, and this was just a matter of turning a corner.

But soon, the leader Fan Wang became a little uneasy: "No... Longtou, if we build the soil, isn't it equivalent to building a mountain of soil for our own house? And then building a house on the mountain of soil?"

"Yes." Zhang Xing thought for a moment and immediately admitted this statement.

"If this is the case, will the officers and soldiers follow our example and build houses on the hills?" Fan Wang expressed his worries.

"They have already started." Xia Hou Ningyuan, another leader who was rotated to the front line today, suddenly interrupted. "They set up a barracks on the mountain when they left tonight... It was only a matter of time before they started building the barracks."

"Then no matter what happens to the other party, let's just do it like this." Zhang Xing made up his mind.

"But if they build houses on such a high earth mountain, aren't they afraid of it collapsing?" Another leader, Cheng Mingqi, interjected. "Let me tell you, why not use the houses to cover them and dig tunnels at the same time? Then suddenly support them, and then dig tunnels at the same time. The mountain of earth collapsed? They just piled up the earth to form a mountain, and they only compacted it a little with the help of practitioners at that time. It will definitely not be strong!"

Everyone was startled.

"It's feasible." Cheng Zhili was the first to respond.

"No... if the earth mountain collapsed," Cheng Mingqi suddenly denied himself. "Wouldn't it collapse directly in front of our camp? Our fences, trenches, and houses are all gone."

Everyone was silent again.

"So what if it collapses?" Zhang Xing said again. "As long as we are prepared, nothing will escape our hands... The fence is destroyed, so we prepare it in advance. When the earth and mountains collapse, they will not have time to attack immediately. We will Just take advantage of the situation and make up for it; just evacuate people from the camp in advance... If you can kill the people on the mountain in one fell swoop and destroy their mountain at the same time, if you ask me, it doesn't matter if you abandon the first row of camps, only the second row of camps will be abandoned. Continue to set up defenses in the second-level camp! You can even get up early to build houses and build earth mountains in the second-level camp now!"

The people below came up with ideas and the coach made the final decision. Naturally, everyone felt a little relieved.

"No." At this moment, Dou Lide suddenly frowned and said, "At this time of year, if you can't go up or down, it's probably still freezing down there, so it's too difficult to dig a hole."

It is difficult to tell clearly how many times the barracks became quiet.

"Don't be afraid!" After a long pause, Xiong Bo Nan slapped his gum and said, "I will personally lead people to dig the soil! If you use your true energy, what soil can't be dug?"

Everyone in the barracks was surprised for a moment, and everyone admired King Xiongtian's boldness regardless of his status.

But soon, Zhang Xing spoke again, but then looked at Cheng Zhili and Shan Tonghai: "You two... With all due respect, there is no more suitable person to dig the earth than to cut off Jiang Zhenqi... I am the coach, if

If you are not at the general station, you will be discovered. Can you please ask two masters who lead the army to cut off Jiang Zhenqi to do this together?"

Cheng and Shan looked at each other.

Immediately, Cheng Zhili immediately agreed: "What did the leader say? In a battle of life and death, how can you care about these things? Just give the order."

"Of course it doesn't matter to me...it's all to help the overall situation." Shan Tonghai also answered with arms in his arms, but couldn't help but point out one thing. "What's the point of just showing the dragon's head? How can you say that you can't get out of the situation?"

What about Kaishen? Are you also Duanjiang Zhenqi?"

Zhang Xing didn't say a word, just waved his hand like a knife, and then an obvious pale white Duanjiang Zhenqi flashed through, directly cutting off a corner of the table in front of him, surprising everyone.

"I'm not hiding anything from you." Zhang Xing said frankly. "I have a strange experience. Although I am not skilled, I can actually use some other kinds of Qi to use it... But I have always felt that this is a bit unfair, so I use

There will be harm if there are too many... Only in such a war, there should be no scruples. If there is really a shortage of people, I can dig holes with you!"
