Chapter 192 Reluctant (Part [-])
The rebellion in the three cities was far beyond the court's expectations. How many soldiers are there in the three cities? Can Prince Xiang ask someone to get an idea, but have the eight brothers made any adjustments?How to adjust?Now that Fan Yang is the only one sending troops, how will the troops of Pinglu and Xicheng be arranged?

But just one thing Qin Wubing asked Lin Huai in a chat before, Fanyang City itself could not have more than 2 troops, one city and one guard, and one guard was less than [-] people, where did the rest come from?

Qin Wubing followed this line of thinking, and there must be guards stationed in Fanyang. Since soldiers from the guards can be stationed in Fanyang, they must also be stationed in Pinglu and Xihe. Otherwise, how could these three places be opposed first? It's just that the movement of the officers and soldiers of the guards stationed in the city is not trivial, so how could Prince Xiang not receive the news?Or did you receive it and didn't discuss it with Qin Wubing in detail?

Qin Wubing vaguely remembered that in the posthouse, those officials said it so easily!Said Pinglu, Fan Yang, and Xicheng only dispatched [-] troops.

But the reality is that Pinglu didn't move at all!
Just go back like this?
Let Xining be besieged by the rebels?

What else can the team he leads do besides run around?

Qin Wubing pondered these questions all night. He felt that what he was good at was useless on the battlefield. He had imagined using the battlefield as a crime scene. After deducing some actual situations, he could see if there were any loopholes that could be used. Not to mention that there may be [-] to [-] rebels guarding Pinglu at this time, even one or two thousand, Qin Wubing didn't even think they could face the rebels head-on!
Siege?With these 5000 people, who would dare to rush to the front?
Fight the rebels outside the city?Qin Wubing believed that when the battle started, the rest on his side, except for the few people around him, had been so scared that they forgot to run away. This is not a psychological problem that a man can solve by self-improvement.

"Why don't you go all out and wait until you are near Pinglu to rest?"

At some point, Feng Ming arrived in front of Qin Wubing.

"I'm happy!" Qin Wubing still closed his eyes, not opening them.

"I'm afraid it will rain today, so I might as well run for a while before it rains, and when it really rains, I'll call these thousands of people to get on their horses, and they'll be reluctant again!"

Qin Wubing suddenly opened his eyes, with surprise in his eyes, and muttered in his mouth: "They dare not!"

"It's not a matter of daring or not!" Feng Ming said impatiently.

"Which of your subordinates is the most accurate at archery?" Qin Wubing stood up suddenly, and asked a little excitedly.

Feng Ming was stunned.

"No! Those soldiers may not know how to read!" Before Feng Ming could reply, Qin Wubing changed his words again: "No need, I will think of another way, if only there is a loudspeaker."

Qin Wubing sat down again, stood up immediately after his butt touched the ground, and said, "Wouldn't it be better for 5000 people to shout in unison than a trumpet?!"

Feng Ming was even more clueless.

Feng Ming's reluctance reminded Qin Wubing that when he was in the post, the official who introduced the situation also used this word!Reluctantly!

He has been wondering why Pinglu didn't send troops, this reluctance gave Qin Wubing a possibility.

Qin Wubing couldn't sit still anymore, he paced back and forth in the woods and said to himself: "What can I shout to make them immediately summon up their courage?"

Feng Ming couldn't help but ask: "Can you understand what you said before you go for a walk?"

Qin Wubing really stopped, he looked at Fengming and asked: "Do you know how many defenders there are in Xining?"

"I know! There are 15. Originally 20, 30 were in the city, and [-] were scattered around. A few days ago, [-] troops were transferred to Lanning. The soldiers at the border..."

"Why do you know that I don't?"

"I know you should know, if you don't know, it's only possible that you didn't take it to heart!"

Qin Wubing thought about it, and felt that what Feng Ming said was right, if it was a case, he could immediately grasp the key points, but in a war, he really couldn't.

"My lord has been counting the military strength of Xichuan, and Xichuan naturally counts ours. The eight brothers didn't let Pinglu, Fan Yang, and Xihe send troops at the same time, but they only let Fan Yang send troops to attack Xining. Isn't it unreasonable? In terms of numbers, Xichuan sent [-] troops, Fan Yang sent [-] troops, and Xining's defenders were [-]! Although I have never been on a battlefield, I know whether the number of people attacking a city should be more than the number of defenders , especially when you want a quick battle, since Fan Yang can send [-] troops, then Pinglu and Xihe should be able to do the same, at least [-] can be gathered..."

"You mean, the rebels originally wanted to send troops from Pinglu, Fan Yang, and Xihe? At least 10 people should be gathered together, so there will be [-] people attacking the city from both sides!"

"Otherwise, only Fan Yang sent [-] troops, what are the soldiers of Pinglu and Xihe staying in the city for?"

"I'm worried that if the prince still has soldiers here, wouldn't it be easy to take down the three cities?"

"I thought so too at first, but the Eighth Brothers were able to persuade Qiang Rong and Bei Yuan to send troops at the same time. He took advantage of this demonic wind, and what he cared about most was speed! What speed? The speed to win Xining! And the prince Find a way to capture the three cities, they are more concerned about taking Xining as soon as possible!"

"Indeed!" Feng Ming swept away the previous disdain and sarcasm, and said seriously: "My lord didn't expect that they would attract foreign enemies to invade. If it was just Xichuan rebelling, even if three cities followed suit, so what? The [-] people guarding outside Xining Soldiers have no fear at all!"

"That's exactly the reason! They tried their best to clean up the surrounding area of ​​Xining, isn't it just to take Xining as soon as possible? As long as they are fast enough, even if the prince gathers enough people to seize the city, it will be useless. On the contrary, they He will take advantage of the situation and fight all the way to the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, because of the waterlogging, let alone the tens of thousands of soldiers on the river in the hands of the prince, even if he still has soldiers, how can he withstand the rebellion of the people?"

"That being said, it's a bit strange that both Pinglu and Xihe are standing still!"

"The strength of these three cities should be between 3 and 8000. If you pool 2 to attack Xining, keep [-] to defend the city. As long as you attack Xining quickly enough, you don't have to worry about the rest. On the contrary, if you attack Xining slowly It's over, or it's deadlocked, so what if there are more than [-] defenders in Pinglu and Xicheng? Right now, the fight is about speed and time! Not to mention that the prince is expected to deal with the flood, and the soldiers on the river will be replaced. , and perhaps the enemy who will invade in the future has been suppressed, and troops can be dispatched to assist Xining!"

"Why do you think Pinglu and Xihe stayed put?"

"Suddenly someone told you to turn against the eldest princess..."

"I stabbed him to death!"

"I know you are loyal. I'm just making an analogy. Xichuan wants to rebel, so they can't tell all the soldiers in the three cities with great fanfare beforehand, can they? What do the soldiers have to do..."

"You mean that some people don't want to rebel?"
