"Think about it, if you were Chu La and you sent Lao He to attack Sanhe County, what would you do, with so many people, just stand still in Hehe County?"
Zhang Bao suddenly realized something and spoke.
Hu Dugu was stunned.
"Yunzhong County!"
"Their goal is the same as ours, to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but their target is us!"
Hu Dugu reacted, and Xie Yunsong's eyes lit up.
Wu Dayong, on the other hand, looked confused.
"What's the meaning?"
"They want to attack our Yunzhong County?"
Wu Dayong asked scratching his head.
"I'm afraid there will be a fight, but not now."
"They actually have the same idea as us. They asked Lao He to attack Sanhe County. On the one hand, the purpose is to capture Sanhe County. On the other hand, they are determined that we will definitely go to Sanhe County to help."
"As a result, our military strength in Yunzhong County will inevitably be weakened a lot. At that time, it will be their best opportunity to attack Yunzhong County!"
"Just like when you attacked Yunzhong County."
Zhang Bao said to Wu Dayong with a smile.
"Oh my brain!"
"Tell me, can't we fight head-on on the battlefield and fight to the death?"
"What are you doing with this brain?"
Wu Dayong was stunned for a while after hearing this.
"Wars are inherently unequal. You know you are at a disadvantage but you still have to attack hard. Unless it is absolutely necessary, there is no point in doing so."
"And I think it's not just that. They may even plan to attack us from both sides with Lao He's men and eat our men."
"Yunzhong County has thousands of troops and strong city defenses. They must not dare to attack by force. The only way is to find a way to divide our forces."
Zhang Bao nodded and said.
After hearing what Zhang Bao said.
Everyone looked at Zhang Bao in disbelief.
If Zhang Bao hadn't spoken slower just now, they might not have been able to follow Zhang Bao's train of thought.
Is the difference between people so big?
"However, I still have a question. Logically speaking, even if we go out to rescue people in Yunzhong County, we still have thousands of people. How can they be sure that they can eat so many of us? Aren't they afraid of being killed by us?"
Zhang Bao said doubtfully.
Today's Yunzhong County is not as stretched as Sanhe County before.
Even if reinforcements are rushed, two to three thousand men and horses can still be brought out.
It is not that simple to eat these two or three thousand men and horses.
"Tielin Army!"
"It must be the Tielin Army!"
Xie Yunsong thought of something and suddenly said.
Zhang Bao and Hu Dugu looked at Xie Yunsong with some confusion, while Wu Dayong on the side opened his eyes wide.
"The Tielin Army was under Chen Dadao before. Although they were small in number, with only over a thousand people, they were all capable of conquering and fighting."
"These troops were Chen Dadao's old base when he followed General Fan, and they have always been Chen Dadao's trump card."
"I heard that those who escaped from the Erlong Mountain Fire in Sanhe County were all slaughtered by the Tielin Army. Chu La must have taken control of the Tielin Army after he came to power, so he had such confidence."
"If it is really the Tielin Army, it will be difficult to handle."
Xie Yunsong said with a worried look.
Zhang Bao also frowned after hearing Xie Yunsong's words.
During this period of time, Xie Yunsong also knew the strength of these people. If he felt it was very difficult, it meant that after comparing their strength, they were still defeated by the Tielin Army.
Even if the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry managed to fight, they would not have the numerical advantage.
In this case, we can only...
What a pity...
"It's really difficult to handle!"
Zhang Bao shook his head.
Seeing Zhang Bao shaking his head, everyone became nervous.
During this time, Zhang Bao had unknowingly become their absolute center.
As long as Zhang Baotai's mountain collapses and his appearance remains unchanged, they will be convinced. But if Zhang Baotai feels embarrassed now, wouldn't the situation be more troublesome than they imagined?
They have all heard of the reputation of the Tielin Army, and they all know how powerful it is. Even if their people are trained, they may not be able to match it. After all, they are all people who have experienced hundreds of battles.
But little did they know that what Zhang Bao said was difficult, not because he was afraid of not being able to defeat them, but because it was more difficult to capture them alive.
In Zhang Bao's opinion.
If such a powerful Tielin Army could be controlled by oneself, it would be even more powerful.
"Lao Xie, how many people do we have now?"
Zhang Bao asked Xie Yunsong.
"How many men and horses?"
"The total number of people now is 7,352!"
"Including the government officials, the number is 7,478."
Xie Yunsong said without hesitation.
"How many?"
"More than seven thousand?"
"Where did so many people come from?"
Zhang Bao was startled.
"After we implemented your Excellency's reform plan, we won the support of many people, and the number of people joining the army suddenly increased significantly."
"We have more than 5,000 men and horses of our own, and if we add in the 2,000 men and horses from several aristocratic families, it will be more than 7,000 men."
"That is to say, our grain harvest in Yunzhong County this year is pretty good, and the county government's treasury is full, so there is no big problem."
Xie Yunsong said with a smile.
to be honest.
He never thought that it could expand to so many people in such a short period of time.
They grew to five thousand people at that time, but it took a long time.
Zhang Bao was obviously a foreigner, but he was able to cause polarization in Yunzhong County in a short period of time.
Those wealthy landowners all wanted to eat their flesh, drink their blood, break their bones, and suck their marrow.
But ordinary people have Zhang Bao's longevity monument erected in every house.
The total number of wealthy merchant families in Yunzhong County only exceeds 10,000.
And there are hundreds of thousands of ordinary people!
Xie Yunsong also gradually understood why Zhang Bao cares about these ordinary people. If they can be used properly, they will be a very powerful force.
"In this way, we won't care about the number of people those aristocratic families have gathered together, and let them figure out their own solutions. I heard that these people are very dishonest, aren't they?"
Zhang Bao said to Xie Yunsong.
"Yes, since I came here, I have been causing trouble every now and then."
"Keep them in the military camp, and they will fight and fight without training at all. Let them out, and they will cause trouble everywhere in the county government."
"It caused widespread resentment among the people."
Xie Yunsong said helplessly.
"You haven't killed a few to establish your authority?"
Wu Dayong said on the side.
He had learned this trick from Zhang Bao before.
"Kill!"
"It doesn't work!"
"They didn't come as one family. They all worked together to kill this family. The other families all took pleasure in the misfortune."
"People from these aristocratic families definitely do it on purpose!"
