Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 211 Strategy
Sun Xiangfu guessed right, Tang Fengyi was the kind of person who would be brilliant if given some sunshine, and corrupt if given some power.

Xi Junmai was transferred out at Wang Xu's request. The purpose, of course, was to protect Wang Xu's 80 mu of spice fields from being trampled by Tuli's horseshoes. You know, those spice fields are growing very well now. Yes, as long as he lasts for another month or two and is fully mature, no one can stop him from making a fortune. This is why Wang Lin has made great efforts to sabotage him.

"My lord, it's an accident that I didn't handle my affairs well. You're a little unkind in handling this matter. Can we still cooperate happily?"

Sun Xiangfu has always regarded Mr. Xi as a brother. If there is something wrong with Wang Xu, Sun Xiangfu will not talk to Wang Xu about credit issues, and the guards will shoot him with thousands of holes first.

"Then let's cheat each other once, and it's even. Let's talk about what to do next! Tuli is driven by my elder brother's interests, and it's not under my control."

Wang Xu had received the news that Sun Xiangfu had returned to Shuozhou, so he came to the Yamen to meet him.This is the advantage of Sun Xiangfu placing his spice fields around Shanyang. Whenever there is a military incident in the future, in order to ensure the output in the field, he, Wang Xu, must fight against the invading enemy with himself.

"Hehe, I have heard for a long time that the royal family's private slaves and soldiers are not weaker than the official army. Although your spice fields are on the grasslands, you have twenty fortresses that can be defended. Do you think that Tuli with [-] to [-] remnants and defeated generals will have a lot of money?" Are you determined to pull them out one by one?" Sun Xiangfu said with a leisurely smile.

Sun Xiangfu didn't mention the main point, which made Wang Xu a little displeased, "No, but what I want to protect is the spice field outside the fortress."

"Do you think that Tuli is willing to be driven by your elder brother after accepting his favor?
This is impossible. At present, population and combat power are the most important things for Tuli. Without these things, no matter how much other gold, silver and money Tuli has, it is useless. Without combat power, any stock on the grassland All forces can easily rob him and destroy him.

Therefore, he came to Shuozhou because he envied the population of our Shuozhou and ruined your field. That was a deal that hurt others and benefited himself. Tuli is not that stupid, at least he will wait for your crops to mature He just came to plunder, and right now, he just wants to fight a plunder war without loss, so as to improve the morale of his defeated soldiers and expand the population of his subordinates. "

Sun Xiangfu sent someone to deliver a telescope to Li Jing, and when the sender came back, he brought Li Jing's reply letter. In the letter, Li Jing had helped Sun Xiangfu do a detailed strategic analysis, and believed that there was only 2 or [-] sudden profits. It is impossible to bite the bullet and fight others desperately, otherwise, he would not have escaped from the west before, what he wants to do most now is to strengthen himself, what can strengthen him?Only the half-Hu half-Han population in frontier states and counties.

Now that he had guessed Tuli's strategic intentions, Li Jing could predict his tactics based on his strategic intentions. Finally, he came to the conclusion that the Wang family's fortress was not easy to attack, and Shanyang's city walls were tall and there was a lot of food. Point people, dare not attack at all.

Then the only thing he can do is to bypass Shanyang from the grassland and directly hit Mayi, which is also adjacent to the grassland. However, Mayi City is also a war fortress, so the most likely thing for him is to ignore Mayi City and attack Mayi inside. Several county towns with little defense in the country attacked, and robbed food and captives to strengthen themselves.

"What do you mean, he doesn't dare to attack? Then, why did he come to Shuozhou?" Puzzled by Sun Xiangfu's words, Wang Xu asked.

"Bypass Shanyang and Mayi, and hit Huairen, Ying County and other places directly."

Sun Xiangfu said it very firmly, but Wang Xu frowned when he heard the words, and said, "My properties in these counties are not worth a lot of money. If you say that, this matter has nothing to do with me."

Sun Xiangfu smiled again when he heard the words, "Hehe, I originally thought that Mr. Wang was a man of foresight, so he was so short-sighted. Tuli is a force dominated by your elder brother's interests. Do you think that if he grows stronger, you can still do it?" Is it okay? I'm afraid that your 80 mu of spices will be planted for him in the end!"

Even though he was mentally prepared early in the morning and knew that it was easy to plant land on the grassland but difficult to collect it, Wang Xu was still very annoyed when he heard that Huihe and Xue Yantuo had a lot of business dealings with their Wang family in terms of salt and iron, so they basically would not come to him After all, the interests of spices are too great, and it has become one of the key industries of the Wang family.

But Tuli is an uncontrollable shit-stirring stick. When he was powerful before, Xue Yantuo and Huihe had to act according to his face. Now that his power is weak, his psychology is naturally unbalanced. In order to grow stronger, he can do whatever it takes.

"Listen to what you said, this tuli is irreversible, but the imperial court only sent five thousand reinforcements, how can we destroy this tuli."

Having figured out what Sun Xiangfu said, Wang Xu gritted his teeth and said.

He is also a warrior and likes to use force to solve problems. To him, being able to eliminate Tuli in one fell swoop and make his [-] acres of spice fields safe and sound is the most perfect ending.

"Do you know why General Li didn't go to Shuozhou, Taiyuan?"

Sun Xiangfu asked back, but Wang Xu's eyes lit up, and he said, "You mean, Li Jing made a detour to pass through the pass on the side of Mayi?"

"That's right, as long as Prince Wang transfers your soldiers to Mayi, let's set up an ambush at Shuanghua Ridge from Mayi to Ying County, and block Tuli's troops there. At that time, General Li's troops will follow behind him." If you come out, there will be a two-sided attack on the mountain road, and Tuli will definitely be unable to fly, and the entire army will be wiped out here."

In fact, in Li Jing's original plan, Sun Xiangfu sent the Shuozhou Unity Battalion to set up an ambush in Shuanghualing, but Sun Xiangfu felt that it was too unreliable for 3000 people to ambush 2 people, and Xi Junmai was drawn one step ahead of time. After leaving, it was impossible for this plan to be implemented, so Sun Xiangfu went around in circles for a long time, fooling Wang Xu to call people to fight and help implement the plan.After all, although the soldiers of the Shuozhou Tuanjie Battalion were soldiers of the imperial court, they were his own subordinates. They were used by the soldiers of the Wang family. Of course, it was more cost-effective to use the soldiers of the Wang family.

It's a pity that Wang Xu is not a fool. He can help fight the battle. After all, everyone benefits from the elimination of Tuli, but his people cannot complete this battle alone. Otherwise, there will be many follow-up questions. This one-and-done strategy is feasible, so I will go back and gather troops, and two days later, I will join forces with Sun Changshi at Shuanghualing."

"Uh, that, when did I say I was going to Shuanghualing? Although Mayi City is strong, there are only a thousand defenders. I want to preside over the defense in the city." Sun Xiangfu quit after hearing the words, Shuanghualing That was Li Jing's preset battlefield, and Sun Xiangfu was so afraid of death, so naturally he wouldn't go to the front of the battlefield unless absolutely necessary.

"If you don't go, do you want my royal family to expose the strength of the family soldiers to the world? Shouldn't the governor of Shuozhou recruit more than [-] people under his command, and join the Shuozhou united camp in Shuanghualing to resist the enemy?"

It is very taboo to expose the matter of family soldiers, especially after the unification of the imperial court. Although Li Shimin tacitly agreed in his heart that all the major families have raised some family soldiers and even dead soldiers, but if your family has soldiers who can fight against [-] Turks Cavalry soldier, can you tell Li Shimin to sleep soundly?
Seeing Wang Xu's expression that I won't send troops if you don't go, Sun Xiangfu hesitated, and after struggling for a minute, he said, "Okay! I will go to Shuanghualing to organize the defense against the enemy in person, but your family's soldiers If there are too many, send more, that’s 1 Turkic cavalry.”

Seeing Sun Xiangfu's fearful expression, Wang Xu shook his head with a contemptuous expression, then turned and walked towards the Yamen.

"My lord, Mr. Tang..." As soon as Wang Xu left, Zhang Ke walked into the main office, wiping off blood or tears and snot on his hands.

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sun Xiangfu, "Mr. fart, this kind of unscrupulous person is not allowed to be called Mr. in the future, so what, how much has he corrupted?"

"It's quite a lot, more than 5000." Zhang Ke replied with curled lips.

"Well, send them all to the tent in the mansion! By the way, what about others!" Sun Xiangfu said without blushing at all.

Tang Fengyi embezzled and accepted bribes, and took Wang Xu's money, but now it became his in a blink of an eye.

The strange thing is that Zhang Ke also felt that it was reasonable, turned around and waved his hand towards the door, only to see Tang Fengyi with a bruised nose and a swollen face being carried in by a guard.

"I said, old Tang, can you grow up? If you are not greedy, you are at least a governor, a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty, and now you are in this field. How dare you stretch out your hand and betray my brother for some money... ···”

After taking Tang Fengyi's corruption into his own, Sun Xiangfu immediately changed his expression of indignation, scolded him, and made an old man in his forties cry.

"Wuuuuuu, the old man found out that Jia Xiaoqiu would be sold in Chang'an, so he wanted to get some money to buy them back..."

Prisoners of the Tang Dynasty are usually assigned to Jiaofang Division for training for a period of time, and then sold to brothels to do some of the dirtiest work, which is worse than those who voluntarily sell themselves, Tang Fengyi said, It made Sun Xiangfu feel soft.

"What a big deal I am! This is easy to handle. I'll send a letter to Chang'an, and someone will send your family over in a short time. Now, do you have anything to say to me?"

"Uh, if I had known that you were so powerful in Chang'an, I wouldn't bother. Then what, I don't want to be greedy for the five thousand guan! Don't give up the things you give me for nothing! I believe that if you This, too, will make such a decision.”

"How do you say? There is still a free lunch in this world?"

"Lunch for nothing?" Tang Fengyi asked, not knowing what allusion the metaphor of Sun Xiangfu came from, and staring at him with panda eyes.

"It's money for nothing."

Tang Fengyi understood what he said, and grinned grinningly and said, "Hehe, of course not, but when he asked us to do something we were going to do, he gave the money for nothing."

Now it was Sun Xiangfu's turn to be puzzled, "What was going to be done? You talked about it."

"Hehe, Tuli brought [-] young men to attack Shuozhou. Shuozhou has imperial reinforcements. Even if he can't be destroyed, there should be no problem in defending the city! If we take the opportunity to take Tuli's old lair, then no matter what, Tuli is a game that must be lost."

"Hey, I didn't expect you, a greedy guy, to know a little bit of military strategy." Sun Xiangfu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he praised.

"Hehe, that is, ever since I found out that the leading general sent by the imperial court to support Shuozhou is Li Jing, this old man has predicted that Shuozhou cannot be lost, and Tuli must be defeated."
