The ancestor of the apocalypse is so cool after being reborn!

Xiao Qi patted him on the shoulder, and said comfortingly: "All the men of my Xiao family are good-looking!"

Seeing the scene of father's kindness and son's filial piety in front of him, Xiao Yun who was sitting beside him became sour. Just because he is the eldest son, he should get more support?
"Father, now that the rebels have rushed into the mountains and forests in southern Hebei, since eldest brother leads the army to destroy the rebels, how does he plan to fight next? Do you have a plan?"

Xiao Baoyin: "."

How can he have any plan to not allow him to be more tender with his father for a while?This second brother just can't see him well!
Xiao Yuncheng naturally noticed the sharp knife thrown by his elder brother, but was he afraid?

Hmph, it's just a paper tiger, it looks useless!

Xiao Qi remained steady, and after hearing what his second son said, he also came back to his senses. He looked at Xiao Baoyin: "Do you have a plan in mind?"

Xiao Baoyin's heart tightened: "This matter happened suddenly. My son needs to go back and think about it. How about giving my father a reply tomorrow?"

Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, you go back and think about it."

The corner of Xiao Yuncheng's mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm. He's just a fool. Do you think he can become smarter after just one night's sleep?

dream!

Unexpectedly, within two seconds of being happy, Xiao Qi turned his head and asked his second son: "Second, do you have any good suggestions for this rebel invasion?"

The corner of Xiao Yuncheng's mouth twitched, I have never seen such a partiality.

How did he respond to these words?
No matter what, it's always a trap.

If he doesn't say anything, the generals present will think that he is worse than his elder brother.If he speaks out his thoughts, wouldn't it be asking the elder brother to do the same thing as a cat and a tiger!
It can be imagined that his strategy will become his elder brother's strategy against the enemy in the end!
If you want to say how Xiao Yuncheng feels at this time, you can only say two words: aggrieved!
"Second brother, don't have any scruples and speak out boldly. Everyone can refer to it!" Xiao Qi urged.

Seeing Xiao Yuncheng's silence, Xiao Baoyin thought that his heart was as hopeless as his own, and a smugness flashed in his eyes.

He said empathetically: "Father, it is not easy to come up with a strategy against the enemy. We should give the second brother some time. The rebels have rushed into the forest. I guess they dare not take it lightly these days." If the second brother can’t come up with a countermeasure for running out to harm the village, why not give him a night to think about it.”

Mr. Zhang, the staff member of the governor of Jizhou, is actually more optimistic about the two sons of the governor's mansion. Now he hears that the eldest son is stepping on the second son. He really can't see it.

Then he laughed and said, "Second Young Master is very witty, dealing with the rebels and these bugs will not be a problem for him."

As he said that, he turned to look at Xiao Yuncheng: "What countermeasures do you have in mind? Why don't you tell us so that everyone can refer to them."

The other generals looked at Xiao Yuncheng.

"The rebels fleeing into the forest is like playing hide-and-seek. It is difficult to find their traces. If the second son has any clever tricks, please tell me."

"Yes, yes, the rebels fleeing into the forest is like a fish entering the sea. If the second son has a clever plan to eliminate this group of rebels, please tell me!"

After hearing this, Xiao Baoyin saw that the generals were so optimistic about Xiao Yuncheng, he was so angry that he almost couldn't hold back the expression on his face.

"Second brother, don't show off, everyone wants to hear your thoughts."

Xiao Yuncheng cast a sidelong glance at his good brother, and a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.

Finally, he looked at Xiao Qi: "Father, my son is dull, and I do have some thoughts in my heart, so please don't laugh at me if you say it!"

Xiao Qi smiled and hummed.

Seeing this, the staff laughed and said, "Second Young Master, please tell me!"

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him, Xiao Yun obviously valued his opinion.

He cleared his throat and said, "Hey, although it's almost March at this time, it's not the same as before in the past few years. Even if it's almost March, the snow in the wild is just beginning to melt. If you want to melt it all, at least it will take March." Go in the middle of the month."

"Everything in the wild is dying, and the animals in the mountains are hiding in Maodong. The rebel army was defeated by the army led by the prince and fled. They fled to Jizhou in a hurry. What do you think they lack most now?"

The staff seemed to be pushed through the fog, their eyes lit up, and they said excitedly: "Food!"

The others obviously thought of it too, and they all looked stunned.

Xiao Yuncheng nodded with a smile: "Yes, it is food! The problem that the rebel army needs to solve urgently is the problem of food and clothing. Although it is easy to hide their whereabouts in the mountains and forests, the disadvantage is that staying in the mountains in this kind of weather is not something ordinary capable people can't stand."

Hearing this, the staff asked: "Then what the second son means is that we just need to guard the intersections down the mountain and trap the rebels in the mountain and let them fend for themselves?"

Xiao Yuncheng thought for a while and said: "This strategy is quite satisfactory, but it is not the best strategy."

"Pfft!"

Xiao Baoyin couldn't help but sneered when he saw that the old two were showing off.When he found that everyone was looking over, he coughed lightly: "Hey, second brother, if you have any plans, tell me quickly, don't play tricks here, everyone is anxious."

The other generals couldn't help rolling their eyes in their hearts. They didn't wait in a hurry, they were listening with great interest. If you hadn't interrupted, maybe the Second Young Master had already revealed his plan by now.

The dissatisfaction in the hearts of the generals could not be shown, but they still looked at Xiao Yuncheng on the surface.

Xiao Yuncheng glanced at the elder brother, and then deliberately asked: "Well——, the elder brother interrupted just now, where did I say?"

The staff reminded him helplessly: "Second Young Master, you said that blocking all intersections is not the best policy!"

Xiao Yuncheng tapped his head: "Oh, I remembered. When it comes to blocking all the intersections going down the mountain, we are too passive. We might as well take the initiative and see if the rebels take up the move."

The staff asked very cooperatively: "How to take the initiative to attack? It is impossible to search for mountains, right?"

Xiao Baoyin couldn't help but wanted to interrupt again, but Xiao Qi gave him a dark look and shut his mouth wisely.

Xiao Yuncheng shook his fingers: "No, searching the mountains is the most stupid way. The rebels are short of food now, so our food in Jizhou is one of the things they must have. Instead of searching the mountains or blocking the way out, it is better for us to go to the old place. The transportation of food in the city, so that the scouts of the rebel army can learn about it, and it will inevitably attract the rebel army to snatch it."

"As long as we lure them down the mountain, we plan ahead, and we are not afraid that we will not be able to eliminate them. Unless the commander is an idiot, otherwise the rebels will definitely have nowhere to escape, and they will be captured or eliminated by us!"

The idiot Xiao Baoyin's eyelids twitched, and he scolded his mother in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak up and sit down, so he could only sulking in his heart.

In terms of handling people's hearts, Xiao Yuncheng is not inferior to anyone in Jizhou, but among his family and friends, he doesn't want to try his best to calculate them. Living like this, he feels too tired, exhausted, and mentally exhausted, which is not the life he wants.

After hearing his plan, Xiao Qi's expression became serious, he thought for a while and said: "Second brother's plan is good, if we want to transport grain to the old city, we must make preparations in advance, since there is not much grain in southern Hebei, then we will only let the car Put a few sacks of grain on the top of the carriage, and use straw or sand to camouflage the bottom."

"If this seduction strategy is to be successful, the route we choose should not be too far away from the Yimeng Mountains. If it is too far away, the rebels may not be fooled if they feel that the retreat route is cut off. If it is too close, they are afraid of being fooled by them, so they can return to the mountains in time. Middle. So everyone should think carefully about this route.”

The staff listened and nodded, and added: "There is also an appropriate amount of escorts for the food team. If there are too many escorts, the rebels will not bite the hook. If there are too few, they may not be able to hold the rebels and wait for the reinforcements to arrive. In the end, the rebels escaped, and we lost our credit. Next time we try to lure the rebels in the same way, they may not be fooled if they are more vigilant."

How to arrange the next plan to lure the enemy, and how to grasp the speed, are all particular, and everyone may have to discuss this for a day or two.

The more everyone discussed, the more they felt that it was really hasty to entrust the important matter of exterminating the rebels to the eldest son!

With the Eldest Young Master's ability, no need to evaluate him to know that he can't complete such a difficult task.

There is no way, some people are born to be able to carry a thousand catties on their shoulders, and some people can be crushed by a little weight, and they can't even climb up.

And their eldest son is such a person, it's not enough to let him work hard to get things done.

Of course, they felt that the eldest son was not suitable for this military operation, but as his father, Xiao Qi didn't think that no matter how much other people said, it would not help.

In the end, whoever should go has to go. It is a matter decided by the governor of a state, and it is useless for other subordinates to refute.

"General Wang Shen's ability is obvious to all, how about letting him cooperate with me in this operation?" Xiao Baoyin suggested.

When the staff heard this, it was impossible: "For the time being, General Wang Shen is in charge of the front line of the Zhangshui River to prevent the rebels from fleeing back to Yuzhou or Yanzhou, and to prevent the rear. What if the rebels take advantage of the loophole?"

Hearing this, Xiao Baoyin became more and more angry. This dead bastard always ruined his good deeds and opposed him. When he took charge of Jizhou soldiers and horses, the first thing he would do was to split his chariot and divide him into five horses to relieve his years of suffering. He's a sucker here.

Thinking about him, the eldest son of Jizhou, in front of his father, he would always be angry with him, and his lungs would explode just thinking about it!
At this moment, in front of everyone, he still had to maintain his image as a big son, so he asked with a smile: "Then according to Mr., who should be the most suitable escort?"

When Xiao Qi heard this, he could tell that the generals under his command were not optimistic about his eldest son.

just
After all, the eldest son is the eldest son of Jizhou Governor's Mansion, and he will inherit everything from him in the future. If the following generals do not support him, life will definitely not be easy for the eldest son or the generals in the future.

Xiao Qi glanced at his second son, of course he knew that this son had outstanding ability and intelligence.

But right.

The second son can live a better life if he leaves the governor's mansion, and he can make a living, but the eldest son can't, if he gives up everything in the governor's mansion, he will accomplish nothing in this life, and his life will be a problem in the future.

Therefore, he had to take care of his eldest son a little more——

Ugh!
It's hard for a loving father!

South of Zhangshui River.

Standing on a hillside by the river, Xia Jing asked Ye Fei next to her, "Will the rebels find a place to live when they rushed into Jizhou?"

Ye Fei remembered the news he received this morning, and reported: "According to the news from Yebu, after the rebels entered Jizhou, they ransacked a neighboring county, killed Jizhou soldiers stationed in the county, and then hid in the In the deep mountains of Yimeng, the soldiers and horses of Jizhou were a little helpless for a while, and there was nothing they could do about it."

Xia Jing looked to the north and faced the north wind and asked: "I heard that Xiao Qi, governor of Jizhou, has two sons, and the second son, Xiao Yuncheng, is extremely witty and resourceful, but is it really a rumor?"

Ye Fei: "The news is true."

"Oh!" Xia Jing turned her head and sucked her teeth, "Well, the rebels are a little sad in Jizhou, I just hope they are smart and don't be fooled around by this second son, and finally wiped out! "

Ye Fei thought about receiving the news about the second son of Jizhou, and he also mourned for the rebels in his heart. "I hope they won't disappoint us too much and can persist for at least three months."

Xia Jing frowned slightly. Whether this can happen or not depends on luck sometimes.

"Have I asked Feng Tu to find someone?"

Ye Fei scratched his nose: "I haven't got enough yet, there are still five or six."

The Dayu Dynasty was established for hundreds of years, the state was in decline, the artifacts were not solid, the officialdom was corrupt, and it was common to sell nobles and vend officials.

The reform of Yuzhou went smoothly, only because Yuzhou was taken from the rebels and returned to the jurisdiction of the imperial court, so how Xia Jing asked them to make drastic reforms, the voice of opposition was almost minimal.

But Jizhou is different. Jizhou is still in the hands of Xiao Qi, the governor of Jizhou. In name, Xiao Qi is still a local official appointed by the imperial court, and he is in charge of the military and political power of Jizhou, the head of Kyushu.

It is a bit difficult for Xia Jing to take back the management rights of Jizhou from him.

Jizhou has a vast territory, occupying the land of Yanzhao in the North China Plain, extending north to a large area north of Yanshan Mountain, a large area north of Taihang Mountains, and south to the south of Yimeng Mountains.

Such a vast area occupies a large area of ​​fertile land. It can be said that Jizhou is the main grain producing area in the north.

If the rebels were smarter, they would not have the possibility of starving to death. It can be said that they are like mice falling into a rice bowl when they arrive in Jizhou.

Xia Jing wrapped the cloak around her body a little tighter, and said: "Let Feng Tu hurry up and gather the number of people. Although I am in urgent need of talents, I don't want to fill them up. I don't want people who are not good enough. Tell him about this." .”

She didn't want to support these people to enter the officialdom, and they would become moths who poached her corners, and became scum who searched for Dayu's people's fat and people's anointing.

"Your subordinates have written it down." Ye Fei noticed that the corners of Xia Jing's mouth had turned pale from the cold, so he asked concerned: "Master, is it very cold? It's windy here. Let's go back to the tent first."

Xia Jing nodded, and stood at the wind and looked at the majesty. In fact, the cold wind was blowing into her bones, and her whole body was almost frozen, and she couldn't bear it if she stayed any longer.

"Let's go, if you don't go, your master is about to freeze through, well, I don't know how long it will take until the weather turns warm."

The heater in Xia Jing's hand was already cold, and she felt that the Little Ice Age was really difficult. There was no heating in winter and no air conditioning in summer.

This is not enough, she has to fight with 10,000+ soldiers and horses every day. This life is really not like the end of the world.

"Master, when are we going to cross the other side of the river? If we wait any longer, the weather will get warmer and the ice on the river will become weaker." Ye Fei asked while protecting Xia Jing down the mountain.

Xia Jing sniffed, exhaled and said, "We'll cross the river when Feng Tu gathers all the people!"
