I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 138 Yu Xu's Plan ([-])
The powerful place of Wubao is not only that he has tall walls, but also watchtowers, offensive and defensive buildings, and so on.

No matter how sophisticated and tall the outer walls and defenses of the Wubao they made, they can't compare with the city built by the imperial court after spending countless efforts, time and even the lives of corvees.

Wubao really makes people feel fearful, and what makes many thieves flinch is that he has almost no dead ends and no shortcomings.
If you attack a city, generally speaking, there are only a few ways.

The most stupid way, and the last thing you want to use, is to attack by force, relying on countless soldiers, plus countless siege weapons such as throwing carts, rushing carts, and wells to attack the city.

In this way, even the simplest city would have to pay twice, three times or even five times the price.

If you encounter a strong one, I am afraid that the price ten times or eight times may not be able to attack the city.

Therefore, the art of war says that directly attacking the city is an inferior strategy!

In addition to storming the city, there are some ways, such as
Besieging the city, cutting off the food, grass and even the water source of the city, when the city cannot be captured, it will take a lot of time to directly drag the city to death.

If the people inside don't want to sit and wait to die, they can only give up the city and come out to fight with them directly, so that they will suffer little damage even if they suffer.

Of course, it is also possible to drag the people outside to death, because the people outside also need to consume food, grass and luggage every day, and the number is more than those in the city.

It's just that they came to attack the city, so they must have their own preparations.

Generally speaking, except for the few battles in which one's own people were eaten up, this kind of countermeasure has basically not been successful.
The second one is to use night raids, sneak attacks, digging and other unexpected methods to break through the city and enter through the gate.

The third one is to use the inside should be opened to become, and then rush in to kill the opponent, such as Chaoge County
These methods are just a few ways to attack the city, but Wubao perfectly avoided all dangers.

Today's Wubao, such as Xiangjia Wubao, is the Xiang family's own family Wubao, and all the people in it are Xiang's own family members.

Even if they were guards, except for the Xiang family's own children, those private soldiers had followed the Xiang family since their ancestors, eating and drinking with the Xiang family.

Perhaps some other forces in the local area can be connected with some of these people.

But a group of thieves definitely don't have this ability.

And internally, those who can enter are the ones who know the basics of the family, it is completely impossible!

Second, this Wubao not only has outer walls and watchtowers, but they are also very particular about the location they choose, either they are built along the river or on the cliffs.

In short, it is not possible to build a city directly on the Great Plains.

Firstly, they didn't dare to be so conspicuous, and secondly, they didn't have that much money. This made some methods of siege completely hopeless.

Others just need to be careful.

With the size of the dock, plus the people inside, it is enough!
Thirdly, the biggest function of this Wubao is to store the family's collections. In addition to money and silk, the grain and grass are naturally the most important thing.

A group of thieves, who were extremely hungry, confronted the Wubao full of food and grass. What is the difference between this and courting death?
As for the only strong attack, this is not impossible.

But if a group of thieves own a rushing car, a well rail, a throwing car, a ladder, and armor, etc.
Why did they attack Xiang's Wubao? They should go to Luoyang!
This is the reason why Wubao is loved by aristocratic families, and it is also the reason why Wubao can be preserved to this day.

Because both they and the imperial court knew that this thing was not used to guard against the imperial court from the beginning to the end. In front of the imperial army, except for some placed on the cliffs.

Outside of the fort where one man is the only one who can't be opened.

The other Wubao are almost vulnerable, as long as they don't raise their flags to rebel, the court won't bother to find them.

From beginning to end, these docks faced a group of vagrants and thieves who lacked or even had no soldiers. They were purely hungry and had no choice.

They are the biggest reason for the existence of Wubao.

So Chu Sanshan's attitude today is natural and reasonable. This is not some high-end knowledge, it is something that everyone knows.

If it weren't for this Wubao, they would have left that family named Xiang dead without a place to bury them.

They even have to dig their ancestral graves
But now, seeing Chu Sanshan's unconvinced look, Jiang Da also grinned.

"You are laughing!"

"Brother Sanshan, you're so confused about being...dang...dang that." Jiang Da wanted to say something literary, but he couldn't even write his own name, so he could only make a joke in the end.

Fortunately, this guy still remembered what Yu Xu had said to them back then.

"Brother Sanshan, think about it carefully, the reason why we don't call Xiangjia is because Xiangjia has become a tortoise shell.

But now it was Xiang Jia's own head sticking out of his turtle shell.

Even if we snatched all the things from those caravans, wouldn't the people from the Xiang family still come out to trouble us?
Not to mention that they originally went to Huai County to invite the Shan family and the county guard to come and beat us, even if it wasn't us, there is no need to take care of the Xiang family, right?
Let's rob them. If they come out, we will kill them together.

If they don't come out and know that they can't provoke us, then we are fine, and eating their caravan directly can be regarded as making a fortune in vain.

If...if the other brothers in the mountain know about it, they will have a glass of wine together.

In fact, if they don't know about it, they will rely on your ability, Brother Sanshan, plus we, a hundred or so people, will serve as your internal support, Brother Sanshan.

In fact, you can eat them all! "

At this time, Jiang Da told Chu Sanshan almost exactly what he heard from Yu Xu.

It also made Chu Sanshan look serious for the first time, and began to "think" in his eyes, looking at Jiang Da in front of him rather tangled and weird.

"These are all your own thoughts?"

Chu Sanshan knew what this guy in front of him was. To be honest, he didn't believe that this guy had such a brain.

And Jiang Da couldn't help laughing.

"That's what the county magistrate Chaoge said. He said he was willing to use these things as a meeting gift, and hoped to be that and that with our brothers."

"Don't let us trouble him again?"

"Yes, that's what it means!" Jiang Dayi patted his thigh and laughed, "This guy is just a frightened coward!"
