The lobby of Pucheng has now become a mess. Everyone, no matter what angle they stand, tried hard to stretch their necks and shout for their own camp. The civil and military officials were abandoned when their lives were at stake.

On the table in the lobby, a handwritten letter was spread out so often, but this ordinary handwritten letter turned the lobby into a vegetable market.

Now, the civil and military officials in the entire lobby are divided into three parts. The stable faction led by Liu Guoxiao, the county master, still insists on defending and relies on the tall city wall to resist robbers outside the city. Of course, this includes his brother-in-law, Qianhu Yuqin.

Since he had already decided on a tired military plan, wasn’t his thief acting according to his original plan? The siege consumed his military morale and his food and supplies, so why did he risk his battle?

In fact, his claim was a last resort. Now he knew the current situation of the garrison under his brother-in-law. It would be better to expect his sister to give birth to eight children at once.

As for the unstoppable surrendered troops who had been stationed before, Liu Guoxiao was even more wary in his heart. As soon as he surrendered troops, he could not say that those pickled things that were eager to the pole would go to the enemy. It would be better to see that it was real in his own eyes.

However, the young and strong Zhang family, headed by Zhang Shiwu, had to strictly follow the command of the governor who had just received, and attacked the thieves outside the city. As for the so-called temptation mentioned in the command of the governor, don’t worry about it. Fight a war, let the blood splash, let the thieves be frightened, let their morale soar, and let their military achievements be revealed, instead of letting everyone look at themselves and wait for contempt. This is the first priority.

It is indeed what these young Zhang family urgently desire for, because all the official positions in them are just due to Zhang Yuan's connection, and at the same time, the court has also given charity to the Shaanxi thief in a weak way. In the hearts of these young men, people always feel inferior to others.

For young and strong people like Xiao Shiwu, although they calmly knew that they had insufficient military experience and showed infinite humility towards those old fighting men, it does not mean that they have no passion in their hearts. In this hidden humility, they are more eagerly expecting military merits. Everyone wants to wash away the reputation they bought through this battle and become a real general.

In the Ganquan gate-blocking battle, Xiao Shiwu and most of the brothers of the first group have participated. However, in their hearts, although they personally felt the strength of the thief, they actually found various reasons for the failure of the last gate-blocking battle. The cause was nothing more than the victory of young people. This kind of competition often covers the most fundamental reason for the matter.

In their opinion, there were three reasons for the last failure. One was that the thief had been through the battle formation for a long time. He formed a village warrior for only three months. He was still a refugee who had never seen blood and had not fought in battle. Failure was inevitable.

Second, at that time, the thieves had a strong weapon, such as the longbow and the sky thunder, which was an unprecedented weapon, but now it is different. The longbows have been equipped with more than a thousand. If it were not limited to the insufficient iron material, this thing could be completely done by one person. The sky thunder is no longer a secret. Although the power of his side is still not as good as the thieves, the selected medicine essence can already give the thieves a surprise in the nearly 10,000 kilograms of gunpowder.

Third, at the beginning, he was just a cunning thief, and even prepared a large number of ambushers outside the battle. When the two sides were about to decide the outcome, they suddenly came out, caught me off guard, which led to failure.

Now it seems that I have prepared all three items, especially the last one. Now, it is reversed. The thieves attack, we defend and the thieves are exhausted. There are already reinforcements composed of 20,000 guards and township heroes on the periphery. As long as the place is successful, 20,000 troops with energy and energy will come out and the thieves will be caught off guard. Then the victory is no longer a 50,500 number, but will undoubtedly win.

However, such a victory is not achieved independently by oneself, and the military achievements made by everyone is also a sharing of the benefits of everyone. How can one be justified?

Kill out, take the initiative to win military merits, and destroy the arrogance of the thieves. This is the seriousness.

However, the third faction is the irresistible Zhang Cunmeng and his subordinates.

It is not impossible to go to fight. In this way, you can also express your determination to draw a clear line between the thieves in front of Shangguan. Not going to fight is an embarrassing position recently. Among the literati, they are very alert to themselves, but among the generals, they have to charge themselves. Isn’t it a trouble caused by a bandit?

So, the brothers who were not stuck in mud watched the quarrel with the gang of generals and schoolmen in the garrison and the brothers of Zhang Jiajun.

"Okay, okay, don't quarrel anymore." County magistrate Liu Guoxiao slapped the agglomeration and crackled the sound of the quarrel for a long time. He looked at the angry military man and couldn't help but sit down dejectedly.

"Sir, if you can send troops, there is actually no need to quarrel." County Magistrate Liang Xiao stepped forward and bowed and spoke. "Does the adult want to be disrespectful to the business of the top of the mountain?"

Yes, this is what Liu Guoxiao is most anxious about.

The governor issued a formal document, but who dared not to enforce it? Although he knew the situation on the front line best here, the governor who was far away in the sky would not dare to hold on to the official document of the official document, but once he went to war, he would definitely lose. Even a literati knew this truth. Why did the general who was in charge of Xi'an and commanded the military affairs of all Shaanxi follow? Isn't this to waste the little strength of defending the city that he had accumulated so hard?

"I don't know what happened to the guerrilla general He Renlong He Crazy, who was engaged in reinforcements in various counties outside the city." Liu Guoxiao leaned his elbow on the case and rubbed his forehead hard with his hands to ask Liang Xiao, the county magistrate responsible for internal and external transportation.

The thieves siege the city, saying that it is a siege, is actually just blocking the four gates. There are only patrols and surveillance in other places. Although the army cannot enter and exit, it does not mean that it is like an iron barrel. At night, a few smart posts can be dropped with a rope and it is still possible to go out of the city and traffic inside and outside.

"General He said something. The garrisons outside have almost been rectified. As long as we dragged the trespassers to exhaustion, he will make an appointment with us to attack inside and outside, and a battle will determine the world."

Liu Guoxiao nodded, not commenting.

Zhang Cunmeng, who had been silent all the time, suddenly stepped forward and bowed and said, "Sir, I will have something to say."

Liu Guoxiao tilted his head and looked at Zhang Cunmeng, who was unknown but rarely spoke, came out, frowned slightly, waved his hand and said weakly: "Please tell General Zhang."

The reason why Zhang Cunmeng remained silent during this quarrel was because he knew that this kind of argument was not something he should get involved in. His identity was there. Once he did something wrong, it would be a disaster that would be a big disaster.

But now, seeing that the real master in this city is at a loss, it is time for me to sell my best and seek credit. I can at least bring myself closer to the county magistrate.

With the approval of Liu Guoxiao County Master, Zhang Cunmeng bowed again and said cautiously: "The thieves outside the city are powerful, and it is inappropriate to take the initiative. This also reflects that the county master is mature and polite." He went up with a small high hat first, looked at Liu Guoxiao, who had soothed his expression, and looked at him with his direct eyes, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

But when he glanced at him, he saw his immediate boss, Zhang Xiaoshiwu, faced with a heavy face. He sighed in his heart and quickly started saying: "Zhang Shoubei advocates fighting, which is also a good way to do things."

As soon as this statement was spoken, everyone couldn't help but despise it. It was a fox that had been pleasing on both sides and not offending on both sides. It was like saying nothing. It was a fox for many years.

"What do you mean?" Yu Qin was impatient with his sleekness and sophistication, and asked with disdain.

Zhang Cunmeng coughed and then said, "Actually, we should go out to fight in the city," he said.

The county magistrate who had just looked at him couldn't help but look angry and asked angrily: "What do you mean?"

"Relieve the anger." Zhang Cunmeng quickly compensated and quickly expressed his thoughts: "In fact, we should fight in a siege, otherwise it will have a great impact on the morale of the army. At the same time, it will also make the thieves think we are afraid of them, which will increase their morale. After all, it will be detrimental to us."

Zhang Cunmeng's words are the real knowledge of the Taoist Taoist. In the face of cowardly battle, this is a taboo for military strategists. This remark was immediately unanimously recognized by the young and strong faction led by Zhang Shoujie. In their eyes, Zhang Cunmeng no longer looked so disliked.

Liu Guoxiao also knew this, but said helplessly: "Don't I know it? But looking at the thieves outside the city, we really don't have the strength to fight. If we really want to go out of the city to invite a battle and be defeated, the consequences will be even more unimaginable. At that time, don't talk about attacking, even defending the city will have a crisis."

"My lord is extremely worried." Zhang Cunmeng turned his words back and immediately received booing from the pro-war faction.

"What do you want to say over and over again? Are you just trying to please me on both sides?" A child of the Chen family stepped forward and scolded Zhang Cunmeng loudly.

Zhang Shiwu can be respectful to you, but it doesn’t mean that we brothers are used to seeing you as a boneless guy.

Zhang Cunmeng quickly expressed his truth: "Now, since the governor signed the document, we must fight." Looking at the county magistrate in a dilemma, Zhang Cunmeng continued: "In fact, there are ways to fight one battle. As long as we are implemented properly, we will fight and attack the arrogance of the thieves, and there is no risk. In this way, wouldn't we have the best of both worlds?"

Hearing this, Liu Guoxiao, frowning, sat upright and asked curiously: "What? Is there such a way? Let's talk about it quickly, the old general."

"Sir, this method is nothing more than asking the county magistrate to send people out of the city to contact the guerrillas outside the city. We agreed on the time. We only target the thieves along the way. We first took a small internal and external cooperation and caught him off guard. We not only implemented the order of the governor, but also attacked the thieves."

As soon as this plan came out, everyone couldn't help but look at each other with embarrassment. Yes, in fact, things are that simple.
