25 Decide on tactics
Xiong Wuliang looked calm in the face of Huang Xie's anger.
"Master Huang, please calm down - am I, Mi Liang, a person who doesn't know what's important? If I dare to compete with the Shaohu bandits, I am sure of victory."
"Don't forget, in addition to the one hundred imperial guards around the prince, I, Quyang, also have two hundred Quyang troops."
"Although the total number of soldiers is still not as high as that of the Shaohu pirates, our soldiers are all elite and will not be inferior in combat power - if they are commanded properly, it will definitely be a great victory."
Mi Heng also stood on Xiong Wuliang's side and said to Huang Xie with some dissatisfaction: "Even if the thieves invade the city, I will fight and die for my country. How could I end up being kidnapped by thieves?"
Xiong Wuliang on the side raised his hands to Mi Henggong: "Brother Wang is worthy of being the crown prince of our country. In terms of his character, I really admire him."
"It's just that this battle must be won. Brother Wang doesn't need to fight and die for his country..."
Huang Xie’s anger is still there!
He stared at Xiong Wuliang hatefully and said angrily: "Two hundred Quyang troops? What kind of combat power does the current Quyang army have?"
"If it were the 800 Quyang soldiers before the Battle of Danyang, the Junhou's statement would still be convincing - after the Battle of Danyang, the Quyang Army would have been defeated long ago!"
"The current Quyang Army is a mob!"
Huang Xie's anger did not subside and he said coldly: "Besides, the Lord just promised that Qu Yang's army can protect Prince Zhou Quan - then I ask, has Qu Yang's army protected Lord Xiong Wei?"
As soon as these words came out, both Xiong Wuliang and Zhong Hua changed their expressions!
Even Prince Mi Heng paled and immediately interrupted: "Huang Xie, this is too much."
Zhong Hua, who was already furious, stood up suddenly: "Master Huang, during the battle of Danyang between Qin and Chu, my eight hundred Quyang army defended the old monarch to the death, but was surrounded by ten times the Qin army!"
"At that time, all the surrounding friendly forces had retreated. Our Quyang army was weak and unable to break out of the encirclement——"
"The old monarch held a shield in his left hand and fought in blood with a sword in his right hand. Our soldiers refused to retreat, and 768 of the 800 soldiers died in the battle!"
"Master Huang, please be careful what you say!"
As soon as Huang Xie's words came out, he felt inappropriate.
As a top nobleman like 'Qu Yangjun' and the younger brother of Chu King Mi Huai, if Xiong Wei chooses to surrender on the battlefield, he will be a prisoner of great economic and even political significance.
The people of Qin will definitely protect his safety.
However, as a top nobleman, Xiong Wei fought alone under the heavy siege of the Qin army. He would rather die than surrender, and finally chose to sacrifice his country generously.
King Huai of Chu cried for three days, and all the people of Chu were moved by it.
Such a heroic figure really cannot be used as an argument by Huang Xie.
Moreover, it was in front of Xiong Wei's only son, Xiong Wuliang, and the former's loyal followers.
Huang Xie's head, dizzy with rage, calmed down, and he felt deeply regretful at this time.
Huang Xie bowed down solemnly: "Huang Xie just talked nonsense and offended the old monarch. I will go to the old monarch's tomb in person to offer sacrifices and apologize for my sins someday. I also hope that Quyang Jun will forgive me."
Prince Mi Heng also held up his hands and said: "Mi Heng came to Quyang, but he has not yet greeted Uncle Wang in front of his tomb. This is extremely rude. Please forgive me, Brother Wang, for my brother and Huang Xie. We will prepare the sacrificial animals tomorrow."
Go and worship in front of Lao Junhou’s tomb in person.”
Seeing what Mi Heng had said, Xiong Wuliang breathed out softly and glanced at Huang Xie coldly.
He said in a cold voice: "If Brother Wang hadn't begged for mercy just now, you would never have thought of leaving Quyang County."
Huang Xie was swept by Xiong Wuliang's gaze, and a chill ran through his body.
I shuddered involuntarily.
This Xiong Wuliang is only a teenager, but he can actually have such a strong murderous look in his eyes!
Prince Mi Heng coughed dryly: "Brother Wang, please calm down... We are new here and don't know much about the topography of Quyang. This bandit suppression requires joint planning by Brother Wang and General Zhong."
Xiong Wuliang nodded towards Zhong Hua.
Zhong Hua tried his best to calm down the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice: "In terms of combat power, our Quyang Army is absolutely reliable. Coupled with the prince's one hundred elite guards, although the number is still at a disadvantage, as long as we can compete with the Shaohu bandits,
The battle will definitely be a great victory."
"The difficulty in wiping out the Shaohu bandits is how to capture the main force of the thieves."
"This band of thieves is very cunning!"
"Shaohu Lake is huge and stretches as far as the eye can see. The lake is covered with reeds and numerous small islands are scattered around. It is an excellent hiding place for thieves and bandits."
"Previously, our country, Chu, sent out heavy troops to encircle and suppress them many times, but the Shaohu thieves hid in the vast lake and could not find anywhere."
Zhong Hua paused and looked at Xiong Wuliang with some respect in his eyes: "The master's strategy is to lure the snake out of its hole!"
"What does it mean to lure a snake out of its hole?" Mi Heng's interest greatly increased.
If Mi Heng could accomplish something that tens of thousands of Chu soldiers could not do before with only 300 men, it would definitely be big news that would shock both the government and the public.
Who wouldn’t be tempted by this kind of prestige thing?
Xiong Wuliang smiled slightly: "As far as I know, the Shaohu bandits have not gone down the mountain to plunder for more than a month. The current food reserves must be in danger."
"When people are hungry, they tend to do stupid things - no matter how cunning the leader of the Shaohu Bandits is, he has to take risks now."
"As long as we can give him a tempting enough bait, the Shaohu pirates will definitely take the bait!" Xiong Wuliang made the final decision!
"Then this bait..." Mi Heng looked at Xiong Wuliang with inquiring eyes and thought, "You don't want me, the prince, to go out and be the bait myself, do you?"
Young Master Mi Liang said in a deep voice: "Tax tribute! The tax tribute sent from Quyang County to Yingdu!"
"With this deal, the Shaohu pirates won't have to go out again all winter! It's tempting enough!"
Prince Mi Heng was shocked: "The tax tribute is used as bait? This... can these bandits be so bold? Do they dare to attack the tax tribute?"
Xiong Wuliang and Zhong Hua nodded in unison.
Just kidding, this is the former regular army of Vietnam.
Can you be brave?
I heard that Heijiu, the leader of the Shaohu pirates, was a famous nobleman in the Yue Kingdom.
He is famous for being ruthless and bold.
Although Huang Xie on the side had been looking at Xiong Wuliang unhappily, he couldn't help but nod secretly at this moment - from a decision-making point of view, this tactic is very reasonable!
The hungry Shaohu pirate, whose eyes are glowing green, will definitely fall into the trap!
Although this Xiong Wuliang has never fought in a war, he seems to be somewhat of a genius!
only……
The key to the success of this tactic lies in how to eliminate the Shaohu bandits after luring them out.
If a large army is recruited from nearby and deployed with superior force, then the movements of the large army will definitely be discovered by the Shaohu pirates.
Then the Shaohu pirates won't fall into the trap.
It seems that we can only use the three hundred soldiers on hand!
The problem is...these Yue soldiers who were able to flee all the way after a major defeat and survive in the end must also be elite soldiers with strong combat capabilities.
Can three hundred people defeat a thousand people?
When the time comes, the Yue people who are ambushed will stabilize their position and eat the 300 people in their own house. It will be funny!
Due to the friction just now, although Huang Xie doubted it in his heart, he did not dare to speak out.
Chapter completed!
