Liu Xianchun is a timid person, and timidity also means being cautious. Carefulness means that before doing anything risky, he can always consider all risks and take preventive measures, including this time he leaves Xia.

county.

When Pei Xiaoer led the army to Xia County, he couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of him. Everyone behind him was also shocked and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

On the city wall, rows of soldiers were fully armed and ready to fight. The civilians shuttled back and forth, putting wooden rocks, trench machines, gold juice, tinder oil and other items on the top of the city.

"Where did the soldiers come from?" A thought came to Pei Xiaoer's mind.

Pei Xiaosan gently came behind Pei Xiaoer and said to Pei Xiaoer hesitantly: "Brother, do we really want to attack Xia County? This Xia County looks very difficult to fight, so let's withdraw our troops.

”

Zhang Zhiyuan continued, "I thought what the third general said was very reasonable. Our army was uneven in the newly defeated army. If we rashly attack the city at this time, it would be very unwise.

Besides, Xia County has been prepared for a long time, so we may not be able to fight. If we fall into a situation where there are strong cities and pursuers in front of us, there may be unexpected problems."

Pei Xiaoer hesitated and stared at the top of the city, with unwillingness in his eyes.

"I'm afraid of a bird. If a dead bird goes to the sky and dies for thousands of years, I think this Xia County can be beaten." Pei Zhuer shouted. He stared at the city wall for a while, and always felt that the people on the city wall were a little strange.

"Don't look at the crowds on his head, I think those are all in silver guns and candles. When we climb onto the city wall and poke them gently, they will definitely not be able to do it."

Pei Xiaoer ignored him and turned to look at Liu Zhizu, wanting to ask for his opinion.

Liu Zhizu shook his head gently, saying that this Xia County is not easy to fight.

"I don't know if I can make a statement?" Suddenly, a relatively unfamiliar voice sounded.

Pei Xiaoer looked in the voice and found that it was Li Chang who performed outstandingly during the last military discussion.

"It's okay, just say whatever you have." At the same time, Pei Xiaoer also shouted to the generals behind him, "You can tell me any ideas you have, let's put aside the whole thing."

"Yes, General" the generals responded.

"General, I think what General Pei Zhuer said just now makes sense," Li Chang continued, "Look at the city tower, the soldiers looked a lot and were well equipped.

But if you look closely, the soldiers are all thin and have a good face. And the most important thing is that many of them are gray-bellied elderly people or children who can't even hold a knife, but there are not many young and middle-aged people.

From this, we can conclude that these people should be hereditary military households from a certain garrison."

"Yes, yes, yes, why do I think the more I look at them, the more I feel wrong? It turns out that they are all old and weak." Pei Zhuer immediately said to the side. He felt that Li Chang was really handsome and more he liked him.

Pei Xiaoer heard what he said seriously, and then carefully observed it to make sure what he said was true. He couldn't help but look at him with praise. However, even so, Xia County was a difficult bone to crack.

After pondering for a while, Pei Xiaoer ordered a camp.

In Xia County, Li Chang's judgment was very accurate. The commander of the Hongnongwei Metropolitan Commander was also watching the Pei family army coming from afar at the city wall.

"Have you put all the weapons and armors in the city treasury up, so that all the soldiers and civilians can wear them?" Looking at the Pei family army who was camping outside the city, the commander frowned and asked without looking back.

"Sir, it's already distributed." No one around him dared to neglect and hurried back.

"It seems that this group of bandits are very brave," sighed the commander.

He is his family and knows his family affairs. They are soldiers of the garrison. The garrison system has existed for more than 200 years. It has long been polluted into a pool of stagnant water, like a pile of dead trees, which should have been replaced by new branches.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was as confident as he had established the system. He once solemnly ordered, "Anyone who is descendants, who accepts my orders, does not do any cleverness, and does not change the law that has been made to mess with me."

The system of garrison was preserved. Although emperors of all dynasties knew that the military troops of the garrison could not be used, no one could change them, let alone change them.

However, there are exceptions to everything. Although the military soldiers in the garrison are not satisfied with each other, it depends on who they compare with.

If the guards were compared with the Jurchen soldiers who were like wolves and tigers, it would be like a child who had just picked up a branch, competing on the same stage against a giant armed man who had his teeth.

But if we compare the troops of the garrison to the bandits, especially now, the bandits in the fifth year of Chongzhen, it is not certain who wins and who loses. This year has not been cruelly eliminated in the next ten years, and thousands of officers and soldiers chase after ten.

It’s not rare to have tens of thousands of bandits running around?

With a strong city in hand, even if it is not as solid as a solid person, it can be considered foolproof. At least this is what Liu Xianchun, the magistrate of Xia County, thinks.

On that day, Liu Xianchun received a report from Wang Silang. After thinking hard for a night, he finally came up with a brilliant plan that had the best of both worlds.

Wang Silang paid 5,000 taels of silver to buy Hongnongwei to defend Xia County for two days, and then he could take the elites from the county to Wang Yuanwai's house.

Of course, when Liu Xianchun talks to Wang Silang, you should not be so direct, you should be tactful.

For example, I miss my adopted mother very much. But recently, the bandits entered Jin in large numbers, so Xia County could not be empty. At the same time, the nearby Hongnongwei commander was greedy and could only ask him for five thousand taels of silver... Maybe it was

It was too tactful, and Wang Silang listened three times before he understood what Liu Xianchun meant.

This was the first time Wang Silang saw the world of officials, and he could play like this, which was shocked for a moment. However, based on the idea that he could not bear to leave his children but could not trap a wolf, his wife, and he could not catch a hooligan. Wang Silang gritted his teeth

After paying this money, everyone was happy for a while

This caused Pei Xiaoer to be embarrassed now. Give up, don’t want to give up. If you don’t give up, there will be not enough military rations.

Forced to the point of being forced, Pei Xiaoer could only use his big killing weapon to hold a meeting.

Pei Xiaoer, who was born in the system in his previous life, was very familiar with meetings to solve problems.

In the military discussion, everyone clearly divided the flag into two factions. Some people advocated retreating, because the city was strong and the army had insufficient food and grass, and the retreat was the safest way to retreat back to Guojiazhuang. Even Liu Zhizu, who Pei Xiaoer valued the most.

They all tend to withdraw from Guojiazhuang.

Others advocate that since there are heavy troops in the city to defend, it is better for us to withdraw back to Shangwangzhuang and continue to attack Shangwangzhuang.

The two sides were quarreling, and Pei Xiaoer was unable to make a decision for a while.

In fact, he prefers Pei Zhuer and Li Chang's opinion to directly attack Xia County. But now everyone tends to retreat, and he cannot force everyone to do something that seems to have everyone die.

The world is great, but not as great as your own life. In the face of life and death, I care who you are?

Just as everyone was in a stalemate, the personal soldiers came to report that Wang Hong had something important to ask for a visit.

The bored Pei Xiaoer also wanted to hear other opinions, so he ordered him to come in and listen to what he said, just change his mind!
