Chunyang First Headmaster

Chapter 161 Fighting Strategies
At first the drunk was still grinning strangely, but gradually he couldn't laugh anymore.

When he heard "offensive and defensive, decisive, and court", he smiled wryly, moved two steps back, and sat down at the base of the wall again.

"Why, aren't you interested in gambling?"

"I'm not interested..." The drunk shook his head, yawned lazily, and murmured, "White money is good, but ordinary people like me, who are drunk and dreaming, can only look at it, but can't get it, let alone Willing to take this kind of silver."

Xiao Qianli simply squatted down opposite him regardless of his appearance, and said with a smile: "A piece of wooden plaque is exchanged for a hundred taels of silver, you can do this business!"

"If you want it, you can take it! I don't want money either!"

The drunk actually took out the wooden plaque from his bosom, which he regarded as a treasure a moment ago, and threw it to Xiao Qianli like trash.

It was just a quick glance, and now the wooden card is in Xiao Qianli's hands. Feeling for the lines engraved on it, Xiao Qianli quickly recognized it—it was exactly the same as Li Chengyuan's waist card, but there was nothing like Li Chengyuan's waist card on it. The name was written like that, but a small long sword and a book-like pattern were drawn.

Xiao Qianli was even more sure of his judgment, and asked tentatively, "Really?"

"No!" The drunk waved his hand impatiently, and simply lay down at the base of the wall, waving his hand impatiently, "I still need to sleep, don't bother me!"

"Okay!" Xiao Qianli stood up helplessly, and sighed, "Poor those who died on the Hetao battlefield..."

"Treading Yanqi?" The drunkard's body moved, but he closed his eyes tightly instead.

"Let's go!" Xiao Qianli turned his head and told Cheng Jun, "Go back and tell your third senior brother, and say that he will come down the mountain when he has time to recognize someone, and see if it is the Battle of Hetao that killed Zhenbei guards. The chief culprit for the annihilation of the entire army!"

Cheng Jun agreed and turned to leave. The drunk suddenly jumped up and shouted, "What did you say?"

"This seat has already made it very clear, I don't want to repeat it a second time!" Xiao Qianli's voice turned cold, and he ordered, "Xiao Jun, say it again."

"Oh!" Cheng Jun repeated honestly, "Master said, let me go back and tell the third senior brother, let him go down the mountain to recognize someone when he has time, and have a look..."

"Wait!" The drunk interrupted Cheng Jun with a wave of his hand, "Who is your third senior brother?"

Cheng Jun scratched his head, and replied with some hesitation: "His name is Li Chengyuan, and he was also from the Zhenbei Army..."

"Li Chengyuan... the commander of the Hetao garrison in the north of the town, and the scouts on the Tayanqi West Road..." The drunk man couldn't help but muttered as if struck by lightning, "...Could it be that there are still people alive in the battle of Hetao?"

"Who says there are no living people?" Xiao Qianli said flatly, "Didn't you also survive?"

The drunk murmured: "Yes, I survived...but..."

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes flickered, how could he still be a little bit drunk?He only heard him say in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Xiao Qianli smiled slightly, and said slowly: "This seat is the head teacher of Kunlun Yuxu Chunyang Palace, Xiao Qianli!"

The drunkard sneered and said, "The martial arts sect of Taoism is none of my business?"

"Originally you didn't care about this seat, but this seat personally passed on the three disciples, and said your name all the time, even if this seat didn't want to hear it."

"As for you, hidden form——Song Shujian! It's better to be famous than to meet each other. One thousand dragon warriors and one thousand long victorious troops all died in battle, and you're reduced to relying on fifty Swallow scouts to cut off your heir?"

Xiao Qianli's words deeply stimulated the drunk man, his body trembled, and he leaned against the wall weakly, covering his face tightly with his hands.

There used to be such a special existence in Dayan's No. [-] strong soldier in the Northern Army.

He has no title, no official position, and even his name is not on the roster of the Zhenbei Army at all, but he is extremely arrogant, even more arrogant than a confidential official.When I was in a good mood, I would stroll to the important place of the military camp by myself, drink tea and brag with my legs crossed, and the border general who held the seal of military power had to accompany me to drink tea and brag, and dared not even say a serious sentence...

And when he was in a bad mood, he dared to pull the collar of the general of the Zhenbei Army, forcing him to issue one incredible order after another, which made the Baizhan scouts who carried out the orders dumbfounded, thinking it was this "bitch" "The so-called bastard is going to let the brothers go to die for nothing.

For example, Li Chengyuan loudly disobeyed orders more than once, claiming that he did not dare to accept rebellious orders.In a hurry, the one who was blowing his beard and staring was about to make a move, but instead he was picked up by the other party and beat him up violently.

For example, five hundred cavalry were sent to storm the heavily guarded food and grass land outside the Great Wall;

For example, 2000 people face to attack the opponent's [-] elite soldiers. The strength of the opponent has more than doubled, and they dare to divide the troops into seven groups;
For example, forcing eight hundred soldiers to swim across the stormy Jinshui River in the middle of the night to attack an inconspicuous barbarian garrison...

However, these orders, which completely violated military common sense, have received extremely brilliant results.

The five hundred light cavalry used rockets to burn the food and grass to the extreme; the seven-way division defeated the opponent's 5000 troops;

This person's name is Song Shujian, who is known as the "Hidden Prime Minister" of the Zhenbei Army. When Li Chengyuan boasted about the past of the Zhenbei Army, he would inevitably mention this name in every beautiful victory. After a long time, Xiao Qianli also secretly remembered it. .

But the Battle of Hetao was Song Shujian's biggest and only failure in his life. Two thousand Zhenbei elites were caught in an ambush and the whole army was wiped out. Of the fifty extremely elite Tayan riders, only Li Chengyuan survived by chance.

It took him a while to murmur: "Li Chengyuan... is still alive? He... must be blaming me for bringing the brothers to a dead end..."

"Tell me!" Xiao Qianli looked at Song Shujian with great interest, "According to Cheng Yuan, you know astronomy and geography, and your martial arts are extraordinary. You are almost omnipotent. How could you fall into such a simple lure?" plan?"

Song Shujian shook his head weakly, and said with a sad smile: "What kind of trick to lure the enemy? It's just a traitor."

"What about the traitor?"

"Killed by me..."

"Since he was killed, why didn't he return to the Zhenbei Army? But he ended up in this place?"

"Who said I don't want to go back to the Zhenbei Army?" Song Shujian suddenly raised his head, with resentment hidden in his eyes, "Both my parents died in the hunting grounds, and my lifelong wish is to wipe out the Tartars. Who made a stumbling block and made me unable to join the army, so I had to go to Hetao as a commoner."

"Hetao was defeated, and the brothers fought to the death to protect me and escape from birth. I wanted to gather the remnants of the army, regain strength, and then slowly plan. Who would have expected that the imperial court would place the responsibility for the defeat on my head. Fortunately, someone The general of the court was my guarantor, and only then did I save my life..."

Song Shujian gave a wry smile, went back to the corner and lay down again, waved his hands and said, "Go, now I can see those brothers who have been with me day and night as soon as I close my eyes, they fell one by one in front of me, I only hate that I am learning art For 30 years, I can't protect the country at the top, and can't strategize at the bottom. I have no face to see Chengyuan again, and I have no face to see my brothers underground..."

Xiao Qianli nodded and sighed: "Forget it! Since your heart is dead, I don't have to force it..."

Song Shujian sneered and said, "Master Xiao, you don't need to use the axe for the mere aggressive tricks. When I used the aggressive tricks, you didn't know where you were. You beat me three times in a row, and now you're trying to catch me again. You just want me to come out to help you do something. For Cheng Yuan's sake, I won't make things difficult for you, let's go quickly!"

His words were extremely blunt, but Xiao Qianli couldn't help laughing.

"Come and help me. Our gate is about to move eastward, but Kunlun is facing two foreign enemies, worshiping fire and Mani. If you are in charge, I can leave with peace of mind."

"If you don't want to do things, you can take a vacant position in Chunyang Palace. You can choose the positions of elders and guest ministers. It's better to be enshrined every day than you are here to eat and die."

"If you can't be idle, then go teach a disciple of the sect to know how to read and break characters, and the hexagrams and formations. Don't bury your talents."

Song Shujian looked impatient, and simply turned over, covered his ears and refused to listen.

"If I give you 10 taels of silver, let you recruit troops and buy horses, and you will lead this army..."

Song Shujian moved, but Xiao Qianli pretended not to notice, and continued to babble, "10 taels is enough for you to arm a cavalry of several thousand people, and you can choose a caravan from the five counties in the northwest as a caravan." Your military pay and food..."

Song Shujian finally couldn't listen anymore, turned over and sat up, and shouted angrily, "Fuck!"

Xiao Qianli acted as if he hadn't seen him, he just smiled and said, "Where am I wrong?"

"The northwest is located on a plateau, and there are very few horses. How can we train and arm an elite cavalry without 200 taels of silver? What can 10 taels of silver do? What can hundreds of cavalry do? Fight guerrilla harassment warfare?"

"A cavalryman wants so much money?" Xiao Qianli's eyes widened.

"Nonsense!" Song Shujian was so angry, he blew his beard and stared, "Do you think our elite cavalry can compare with those light-armed cavalry? We can fight and kill people with some horse grass? We are a farming nation, how can we do that?" Compared with nomads born on horseback?"

"What if I give you 50 taels?"

"Hmm..." Song Shujian looked calm, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Take it easy, but you can barely gather two or three thousand usable cavalry. It's just that you can't blindly train light and heavy cavalry, corresponding spearmen, bowmen Soldiers, swords and shields must also occupy a corresponding proportion."

"Sword and shield?" Xiao Qianli turned his head and shouted, "Little Jun, show this Mr. Song your sword and shield!"

With a "boom", it was Cheng Jun who planted the Tunlong shield and Qiuli knife heavily on the ground in front of Song Shujian. Song Shujian's eyes lit up immediately, and he praised the knife and shield repeatedly.

"It's good, but it can't be applied on a large scale!" Song Shujian shook his head and sighed again, "Your apprentice is born with amazing physical strength, but ordinary people can't use such a heavy sword and shield."

"Then it's settled!" Xiao Qianli nodded and said, "I'll give you 50 taels first, and you can recruit as many soldiers as you like in the five counties in the northwest, and bring them all to the foot of Yuxu Peak in Kunlun Mountains, where the land is sparsely populated. For your military training. In addition, our sect is short of manpower, and you need to open up trade routes by yourself for the caravan. But you don’t have to worry, Jiuquan and Wuwei counties now have industries. In addition, Dunhuang and Heyuan counties, as long as you play Chunyang The signboard of the palace, naturally all the way is unimpeded."

"Open up business routes?" Song Shujian sneered, "I don't even ask. I, Song Shujian, am a commoner. How did I become the guest of Zhenbei Army..."

"That's great!" Xiao Qianli took out a large stack of banknotes from his bosom, and stuffed them into Song Shujian's hands without looking at them, "Mr. Song, I will entrust this matter to you!"

Song Shujian agreed, turned over and got up, just as he took the bank note, his body froze suddenly, his face showed a look that seemed to be crying but not crying, and sighed: "Headmaster Xiao, I fell into your trap!"

"What plan?" Xiao Qianli pretended not to know, but almost laughed out loud in his heart.

"It's a good trick to push the boat along the way, I actually fell into your trick so easily—"

"No, you are wrong!" Xiao Qianli said sternly, "This plan is called 'fishing in troubled waters'. First, I used words to confuse your judgment, and by the way, I caught you, a big fish!"

Song Shujian opened his mouth, gave a deep salute with a wry smile, and said in a loud voice, "I've seen the head teacher!"
