"Haha, brother, this is so unimaginable that people would never imagine it!"
Wang Mansion, Wang Haitian couldn't help laughing when he got the news from the military camp!
Wang Zhonglou said in confusion, "Second uncle, uncle Yuan, why don't you just ask someone to shout something? Is there anything magical about it?"
Wang Haitian sighed softly, "Most people in this world are ignorant. They believe what others say. Your Uncle Yuan's skill is to make people say whether they are true or false, but regardless of whether the words are true or false, as long as they are repeated over and over again, the soldiers and civilians in the city will be confused."
Believe it. If they believe it, they will have fighting spirit, and defending the city will not be a problem."
Wang Zhonglou was worried and said, "Second uncle, do you think Uncle Yuan can help Wu Ling win this battle?"
Wang Haitian smiled slightly, "Originally I was a little worried, but after seeing his unreasonable actions, I felt that since he stayed, he must have some tricks!"
Bang bang bang!
The Bai family's carriage was traveling in the city. Bai Feifei looked at the speeding messenger and the changing expressions on the faces of the people in the city. He couldn't help stroking his hands and said, "Wonderful, wonderful, that little gentleman is really a wonderful person!"
The woman in purple clothes was surprised, "What's so wonderful about this?"
Bai Feifei pursed his lips, "Both the literati and the military generals are all about face, but he is like a rogue. No matter what face he has, he makes people shout at him in the streets. Not to mention that this rogue method is really effective. Repeated over and over again,
I listened too much and thought that I would win this battle without thinking!"
The woman in purple said, "Then can we win this battle?"
Bai Feifei sighed, "Although Wu Ling inherited Mu Shuai's military skills and was brave, he has not yet reached the level of proficiency and is still a step behind Mu Shuai. Now, the invincible black armored army has been disbanded. With these miscellaneous troops in the city, it is impossible to deal with the ten-man army.
Wan Tieqi’s wily King Tu Nan, I can’t think of any possibility for him to win!”
The woman in purple looked dark.
"Little beauty, don't be sad, I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Bai Feifei blinked, "But the situation is abnormal now. The young gentleman stayed!"
The woman in purple frowned, "He is just a scholar and has no power to restrain a chicken. How can he change the situation of the war if he stays!"
"You are wrong!"
Bai Feifei shook his head and said, "You say a person can put up big-character posters to frame the county magistrate, sell swords at poetry fairs, and make messengers fool the people in the city. Is this kind of person waiting to die?"
The purple-clothed woman's eyes lit up: "No, since he is staying, he must have some means to repel the enemy!"
Bai Feifei sighed, "But I can't think of any way he can defeat the enemy in such a dead situation."
The woman in purple said, "Isn't there never been a person in this world that you can't see through?"
"Now there is!"
Bai Feifei tapped her folding fan on the palm of her hand, "If he can win this battle, I will invite him into the Bai family as a staff member at any cost!"
After passing the order and shouting, all the big families in the city became much calmer, except the Yang family!
"what to do!"
Yang Shuo was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "Why did that kid become a military advisor and even wield the gold medal command arrow? I
We killed him twice in a row, he will definitely not let go of the Yang family, what should we do!"
The Yang family has a lot of ancestral property. They planned to leave in four days, but ended up not being able to finish it all.
"Third uncle, don't be afraid!"
Cold sweat broke out on Yang Wanli's forehead, "Last time we only passed on a verbal message and didn't leave any evidence. He has no concrete evidence and can't justly sway us."
Yang Shuo said in a trembling voice, "He is trying to play dirty tricks. You forgot about the big-character poster last time!"
Yang Wanli trembled all over.
Yes, that boy is not a good person. He almost tricked the Yang family to death last time.
Yang Shuo said cautiously, "Wan Li, why don't we go and apologize to him? This kid is too evil. When he first came to Jiushan County, he was useless. Now he is in charge of the gold medal command arrow. I don't know if he will be worse than him in the future!"
Yang Wanli narrowed his eyes and shook his head, "Third uncle, don't be afraid! So what if he holds the gold medal command arrow? I don't believe he can defeat King Tu Nan's 100,000 troops! When the war fails and the gold medal command arrow is taken away, people will still die without a burial place.
!”
…
The messengers shouted throughout the city, and all the gold and silver in Xue Pan's house were searched out.
In addition to the more than 100,000 taels looted in the past two days, there are also military pay, grain wages, military supplies, etc. that were withheld in the past, totaling up to 300,000 taels of silver!
Directly making the originally tense military supplies suddenly become more abundant!
Exchange the gold and silver for pieces of silver and copper coins, they have arrived!
Wang Yuan and Wu Ling came to the military camp.
The soldiers of the upper class, middle class and lower class were arranged in rows, and the military pay was distributed one by one by two people.
Soldiers' pay is very small. The upper-class soldiers receive one monthly payment, the middle-class soldiers receive 700 payments, and the lower-class soldiers receive 500 payments.
This process was extremely troublesome. Wu Ling was going to arrange it for the quartermaster, but Wang Yuan stopped him.
Pay a cent of military pay, call the soldiers by their names, and give them some encouragement!
Even if two people did it together, the process lasted four hours until dark.
The soldiers who received their military pay had tears in their eyes and tears in their hearts.
I have been in the army for so long, but I have never received full military pay. Basically, there are deductions at every level.
The military advisor and the young marshal are different. They don't skimp on anything and even hand-deliver it to them.
"Thank you, military advisor, for paying me!"
"Thank you, Marshal, for paying me!"
After the military pay was distributed, the soldiers cheered all day long and looked at the two men with great excitement.
Huang Hao, Wei Qingshan and all the soldiers were filled with awe.
Originally, they despised the idea of military advisors and marshals personally paying soldiers.
However, in just half a day, the two men had already won the hearts of soldiers with this move. It was so terrifying!
"Sir, you are brilliant!"
Wu Ling also reacted.
What soldiers want is very simple: eat enough, receive pay, and survive!
In fact, in the entire great undertaking, there are very few generals who can achieve these three points.
Whoever gives more soldiers more respect will be willing to sacrifice their lives for whomever!
In a daze, he truly understood why his father was able to train the invincible black armor army back then!
"Don't thank me or the young marshal, this is military pay from the imperial court!"
Wang Yuan raised his hands, suppressed the cheers of the soldiers, and said loudly, "You must thank the imperial court, serve the imperial court, defeat the deserters, capture King Tu Nan alive, and make him naked again!"
"Hahaha!" .??.
"Defeat the Desolate Man!"
"Capture King Tunan alive!"
"Let King Tu Nan bare his butt again!"
"Serve the imperial court!"
The soldiers laughed loudly and shouted at the top of their lungs, as if they could really do it.
Huang Hao, a general from the Xue family in Wei Qingshan, looked at Wang Yuan with eyes that were even more jealous of him.
This guy was too impeccable. The soldier shouted to thank the military advisor, Marshal, and he immediately added a thank-you to the court. It was impossible to interfere with his ulterior motives.
With each shout, the fear of the deserted man decreased and the morale became higher and higher.
After giving the order for the soldiers to disperse, Wang Yuan and Wu Ling came to the Chinese army's tent.
Wu Ling frowned, "The morale of the army and the people is high, so defending the city will not be a problem; but it is still difficult to defeat the army of deserters."
Wang Yuan said, "How did your black-armored army defeat King Tu Nan back then?"
"The black-armored army was trained by my father. The soldiers are all highly skilled in martial arts. In addition, they have black armor and black swords. Our morale is as strong as a rainbow. We can command various military formations like arms, and we are not afraid of the deserted cavalry at all."
Wu Ling smiled bitterly, "The soldiers in Jiushan County can only be considered second-rate. Although their morale has been boosted by sir, they can be used to defend the city. But if they are allowed to leave the city and see the army of deserters, their morale will immediately disappear."
Wang Yuan looked forward to it, "Is it possible to gather the Black Armored Army again?"
"My father worked hard for ten years and trained a total of 10,000 black-armored troops. In the ten years of fighting in the north and south, most of them died. In the accident five years ago, another two thousand were killed by the imperial court."
Wu Ling's eyes were filled with tears, and he was struggling with pain. "Now there are only two thousand left, scattered all over Daye, unwilling to serve the imperial court. Even if I recruit, I can only recruit people from around Jiushan County, but I don't know how many of them will be able to come at the end."
Wang Yuan said sternly, "Gather as many troops as possible. As long as the leader is the black-armored army who defeated the Huangren in Zeng Jin, second-rate soldiers will dare to follow behind and fight with the wind!"
…
Outside the city, there is a barren camp, brightly lit, and soldiers patrolling back and forth!
"Father, the secret message from the Black Eagle Guard!"
Chinese army tent,
Agucha took down the secret message sent by the falcon and gave it to King Tu Nan with both hands!
The Black Eagle Guard, the highest intelligence organization of the Deserters, is responsible for collecting intelligence on enemy countries and instigating important members to rebel.
Lu Chengye, who was at Longtou Pass, was bought by Black Eagle Guard five years ago.
After so many years, only Huangdi knows how many games the Black Eagle Guard has laid in Daye.
Even though his father was King Tu Nan, he only knew about the layout of the Black Eagle Guards in Chengzhou before the expedition!
"Wuling is the commander, Wang Yuan is the military advisor..."
Unfolding the secret message from the Black Eagle Guard, King Tu Nan narrowed his eyes and passed the secret message over.
boom!
Glancing at the content of the secret message, Agucha became furious: "This great scholar should be damned for slandering your honorable name like this. When Jiushan County is captured, I will chop off his head and make it a chamber pot!"
My father was indeed defeated in that battle, but he retreated with most of his troops in a calm and unhurried manner!
Not like what the note said, running away with your buttocks naked, your thighs would be bruised and bleeding.
"No!"
King Tu Nan raised his hand and said, "This scholar named Wang Yuan is a great talent. When Jiushan County is conquered in a few days, we must capture him and bring him to Huangting!"
Agucha frowned and said, "Father, this man can only talk nonsense, how can he have any talent!"
"Agucha, you have to remember a truth. Repeat a lie a thousand times and it will become the truth."
King Tu Nan had no expression on his face, "We hit Jiushan County, and the morale of the people in the city collapsed. It was not going to take long for them to collapse without a fight. This young man named Wang Yuan only used a few words and repeated them, and the morale of the people in the city soared.
, it’s nothing if not big!”
Agucha frowned, "But I think the reason for the surge in morale is that Emperor Dayegou appointed Wu Ling as his commander."
"Wuling has the ability to organize troops and formations, and his talent is to penetrate people's hearts."
King Tu Nan smiled slightly, "It's a pity that the big cause is weak. No matter how brilliantly he uses these little tricks to manipulate people's hearts, they can't change the overall situation!"
Agucha shook his head, "But father, if they continue like this, the hearts and morale of the people in the city will gather, and it will become more and more difficult for us to attack the city!"
The corners of King Tu Nan's lips twitched slightly, "They know how to exploit people's hearts, can't we!"
Agucha frowned, "Father, what do you mean?"
King Tu Nan hummed, "I want that boy named Wang to know what it means to shoot oneself in the foot and what it means to suffer for one's own fault!"
"Father, what are you going to do?"
"He boosted his morale like this, and it gave him a new idea. It turns out that the war can still be fought like this! Doing this tomorrow... can bring his morale to a freezing point. He can even take this opportunity to invade the Jiushan County City!"
"Father is wise!"
"Hey, even if we conquer Jiushan County, they will all be juniors! Wu Mu, Wu Mu, the world without you would be so lonely!"
