Chapter 201 Convincing People with Virtue (Part [-])
Bai Qiliang clasped his fists and said, "My son-in-law has amazing talents!"

Xue Shoucheng also clasped his fists and said: "My son-in-law must be familiar with military books and have expert guidance, but he has never had the opportunity to use it..."

"Fart!" Qin Wubing roared.

Xiaosi said softly to Fengming again: "Master Seventh will never admit that he is illiterate."

"No matter how familiar you are with military books, that's just talking about armies on paper!" Qin Wubing said righteously: "I don't think I have the experience of leading troops in combat, so I didn't want to be involved in any of your decisions when I asked you two to lead troops, but, In just these two days, I found that the two of you are not thinking carefully enough, if you want to surprise others, what others may be waiting for is your recklessness and self-righteousness!"

Bai Qiliang clasped his fists again and said, "Your son-in-law taught me a lesson!"

Xue Shoucheng also clasped his fists and said, "We were indeed negligent!"

This time, Qin Wubing could tell that they were not hypocritically pandering, so his tone softened, and he said:

"I can understand. If I were you, I would also look down on a royal family member rushing to the battlefield. He would know nothing!"

Xue Shoucheng and Bai Qiliang wanted to defend themselves, but Qin Wubing waved his hands and said:

"No need to explain! It's normal to have this kind of thinking. If you live in a pampered life on weekdays, how can you get experience without going through wind and rain, right? But, you have to be observant! Am I that kind of person? When you see me , but brocade clothes and white noodles? Think about what I said just now, you underestimate me, don't worry, listen to me!"

Qin Wubing raised his hand to stop Bai Qiliang who was about to speak, and continued:
"I don't participate in the opinion on how to fight. I will fight wherever you ask me to fight. But before fighting, or when there is an accident during the battle, you must listen to my opinion. Is it possible to do it?"

The two hurriedly clasped their fists together and said in unison: "It should be so!"

"Alright then, let's discuss how to deal with the enemy now!" Qin Wubing motioned the two of them to sit down.

Xiao Si said to Feng Ming in a low voice: "My Seventh Young Master always convinces people with virtue! It's just that it takes time."

Feng Ming smiled, but the disdain in Qin Wubing's eyes was gone, and there was more inquiry.

"...The Xichuan rebels have been outside the city of Xining, but they have been reluctant to attack. I think there are two reasons. One is to wait for the rebels on Fan Yang's side, and the other is to receive news of our dispatch!"

"The son-in-law is right!" Bai Qiliang agreed, "I also think that there can be no more than [-] Xining defenders, unless they are suddenly transferred in before the battle, but the court cannot predict when the rebels will send troops, so how can they Deploy troops in advance."

"How many defenders do you estimate in the city?" Qin Wubing asked.

Xue Shoucheng said:

"Before we received the transfer order, we hadn't heard of any guards being transferred to Xining. However, even if the rebels sent troops, it is not impossible for Xining to transfer troops as soon as possible. However, our commander is probably already Rebel, otherwise we would not have been transferred to Pinglu."

"Where does this commander work? No, where does he usually stay?"

"Of course it's in Xining city!"

Qin Wubing was stunned for a moment, then started talking to himself again:

"Before the rebels took action, he would not move, that is to say, the commander is still in Xining, no, the imperial court knew that Xichuan was going to rebel, how could it be wrong to be the highest in charge of the military... Oh, yes, there were people around Xining before. One hundred thousand troops, I always thought that the commander must know about this matter. If he is a rotten egg, but he feels that the court cannot see that he is a rotten egg, then the forces of the rebels in Xining City will be involved in the actions of the rebels. They will be wiped out at the beginning, and for the same reason, in order not to make the commander of the capital suspicious, the imperial court will not send troops into the city before the rebels take action!"

Bai Qiliang understood, but Xue Shoucheng didn't.

Bai Qiliang asked: "After the rebels took action, the border was in a hurry at the same time, and the imperial court had to transfer the troops prepared in advance. How many people will stay in the city?"

Xue Shoucheng asked in puzzlement: "My son-in-law, how many people are there in the Xining garrison, does the capital know?"

"I must know. It's just for the outside world. On the one hand, I want to appease my own people, and on the other hand, I want to scare the enemy. It is possible to make false reports, but how many false reports are there?"

Qin Wubing said so in his mouth, but he was thinking in his heart, no matter how many reasons there are, Prince Xiang should not hide it from him. He remembered that the eldest princess wanted to bring people to Xining to fight, maybe because he knew that there were not many defenders in Xining , but both of them kept the truth from him and didn't tell the actual number, fearing that they were worried that he would lead those 5000 people to die in a flash of his brain.

Qin Wubing shook his head, caring can be applied to anyone indiscriminately.

It's just that Qin Wubing forgot one thing, Prince Xiang ordered him to go on a business trip, the destination was Pinglu, and there was no next stop, he followed his train of thought to get here, besides, when he left Jinling, the war had just started At the beginning, it took time to collect a lot of news, not just a phone call, but Qin Wubing was right about one thing, Prince Xiang liked his brain and ability to adapt to changing situations, otherwise this trip would be a disaster. Not on him.

Providence is sometimes hidden in the details.

"I feel that although Xining's defenders don't have 5 troops, they won't be less than 5." Xue Shoucheng said, "Xichuan sent [-] troops to attack Xining. For the rebels, the best possibility is Pinglu. , Fan Yang and Xicheng can also gather [-] people, and the chances of success in attacking Xining City back and forth are great, but if the defenders have [-] people, they can withstand it for a few days, but the speed the rebels want!"

Qin Wubing nodded, so Prince Xiang asked him to run around with 5000 people, the purpose was to prevent Pinglu's soldiers from getting out and reduce the pressure on Xining.

"In other words, the rebels didn't believe that there were 5 defenders in Xining, but they still didn't dare to move after they arrived. Regardless of whether there were other reasons, I also felt that there were about [-] defenders in the city, and only Xichuan's [-] People attack the city, and they can't take it in a short time. They need to wait until Fan Yang's rebels arrive, and only when they attack from both sides, will the Xining defenders be stretched and take Xining as soon as possible." Bai Qiliang added.

Qin Wubing nodded and asked: "So, if the Xichuan rebels know we're coming, is it possible to cooperate with Fan Yang's rebels to destroy us first, and then attack the city?"

"I will definitely do this!" Bai Qiliang said excitedly: "The son-in-law is really a rare general, the two of us are not as many as the son-in-law!"

Qin Wubing waved his hand calmly and said:
"You guys are impatient. It's normal for you not to think comprehensively. I don't have any other skills. I just think about it and figure out all these possibilities. It's also convenient for you to decide what to do next. What do you want to do later?"

The two of them glanced at each other, and then looked at Qin Wubing at the same time.

"Don't look at me, I might be able to say a few words on paper, the real swords and guns depend on you, but I think the current situation is a bit interesting, think about it, as long as we don't move, none of them dare to move !"

Bai Qiliang and Xue Shoucheng's eyes lit up at the same time, isn't that what happened!
