Six Hundred and Forty-Four: Mentality Collapsed (2)
Although the mountain road is difficult to walk, the overall length is much shorter than the official road. In addition, Jiang Pengji's training of soldiers is very strict. This level of speed is nothing. As soon as they arrived, the siege equipment prepared by Xu Ke was also in place.
Qi Guanrang smiled and said, "It seems that Xiaoyu has great trust in the lord."
Yang Si had a complicated look on his face and said, "If it weren't for the extreme trust, this batch of siege equipment wouldn't have been delivered so quickly."
The equipment and objects are large and difficult to transport, and the speed is definitely not as fast as Jiang Pengji's simple and rapid march.
If you want to get the time right, you must take into account the variables on the road and the speed of human transportation, and you must also have extremely firm confidence.
What confidence?
You know, if Jiang Pengji had not captured Kinmen County as planned, these siege equipment would have been given to the Red Lotus Sect.
The results of it?
Jiang Pengji captured Kinmen County and cooperated with Qi Guan in a very short time to ambush the Red Lotus Sect's soldiers. Finally, she returned to Kinmen County before the Red Lotus Sect could react. It seemed that it only took two days, but the energy consumed was ordinary people's. unimaginable.
If Xu Ke didn't have 100% trust in Jiang Pengji, how could this batch of equipment be delivered in such a timely manner?
Jiang Pengji comforted Xiaobai, who was a little irritable and panting, and asked him to give him the best feed.
"Go to the city and let's discuss the next step."
According to the plan, the next step should be to attack Qiuyu County, but this time it is so easy to attack Kinmen County. After marching and fighting for two consecutive days, they only took turns to rest for half a night. Now the men and horses are exhausted, and the combat power is not as strong as it was at the beginning.
How to attack Qiuyu County and how to fight this battle? Jiang Pengji felt that it was necessary to have a deep discussion with several counselors.
However, there was such a lord who acted unreasonably, and several counselors expressed their embarrassment.
Just ask one question - they made a plan, will the Lord follow it?
However, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no matter how good the plan is, it cannot keep up with the changes, and they will not force Jiang Pengji to abide by it.
For Qiuyu County, Yang Si and others naturally have their own plans.
Qi Guanrang advocated using Kinmen County as his base.
Contain the elite and main force of the Red Lotus Sect, and send other people to attack Qiu Yu County.
Yang Si frowned and said, "This can't be done. The situation in Kinmen County is not stable, and many people are bewitched by evil cults. If these people cooperate with the Red Lotus Sect outside, it will definitely cause us great trouble. If the city is destroyed, lives will be lost. It’s hard to guarantee.”
Jiang Pengji also agreed with Yang Si's statement.
For her, if her territory is taken away, she can still fight it back. If the counselor gets involved because of this, who will compensate her?
Qi Guan gave way, "Is it possible that my lord can't trust me to give in?"
Jiang Pengji felt wronged. How could she not trust Qi Guanrang?
"Since my lord is trustworthy, let me give this matter a try. Kinmen County is a good start. If we can conquer Qiuyu County in one go, the morale of the Red Lotus Sect will be greatly damaged, and it is very likely that it will be unable to recover. This is the time for my lord to take over Chengde. Great opportunity for the county.”
Qi Guan Rang is usually cautious and low-key, but on the contrary is his fighting style, which is cunning and bold, seeking victory in danger.
If Jiang Pengji has a serious gambler's mentality, Qi Guanjian will not give in much.
It is not unreasonable that these two people can become close friends and have similar temperaments.
He took the initiative to put forward this suggestion, wanting to order three to five thousand soldiers to guard Kinmen County and delay the main force of the Red Lotus Sect. It was really audacious.
However, behind his boldness is his trust in his own strength.
Jiang Pengji couldn't say that Qi Guan was wrong, so she could only sigh and nod in agreement.
"In this case, then you give it a try. If you can't hold it, you should put your life and property first and retreat in time. Don't show off. Fengyi County still has a pile of official documents waiting for you to go back to deal with. If there is no document card to help If you share the burden, won’t the others die from exhaustion?”
Jiang Pengji didn't make pretentious excuses. A few sentences were regarded as concern. If she declined too much, it was doubtful about her strength.
She has always respected the strong.
In her view, a strong person does not have the supremacy of force, but a strong mind, strong force, and strong wisdom... can all be called strong.
Qi Guanrang's martial arts remained at the square dance level of sword dancing, but who can say that he is weak?
If you have a strong brain, you are also strong.
Qi Guan Rang was very moved at first, so heartwarming that he wanted to cry. But after hearing Jiang Pengji's words, he thought that it was no longer illegal to commit murder.
My heart is so cold.
Yang Si rolled his eyes secretly. He knew that Jiang Pengji was not a kind person, a black-hearted boss who exploited his employees without thinking.
Before Qi Guan Rang lost control and prepared to kill the lord, Jiang Pengji said with a serious face, "The important task of guarding Kinmen County has been handed over to Wen Zheng. In view of the large number of people in the Red Lotus Sect, I will leave with only four thousand soldiers this time. , and the rest stayed in Kinmen County..."
Upon hearing this number, Qi Guanrang showed a look of disapproval.
How can a mere 4,000 men capture Qiuyu County, which has abundant troops?
Jiang Pengji said, "Four thousand people are quite a lot. We have enough siege equipment and we won't be able to conquer a county. Not to mention that we have internal support within the Red Lotus Sect. They will definitely play a certain role at critical moments. Cooperation between internal and external support It’s not difficult to capture Qiuyu County.”
She took away 4,000 people, which meant that Qi Guan left only more than 6,000 people here, but he had to face 10,000 to 20,000 enemies.
Qi Guanrang wanted to say more, but was stopped by Jiang Pengji.
At this time, there was a messenger outside who wanted to deliver a message.
Jiang Pengji promised, and a soldier ran in. He was half-kneeling on the ground, holding a roll of bamboo slips in both hands.
"My Lord, this is a letter from a beggar."
"A letter from a beggar?" Jiang Pengji didn't mind the dirtiness. She picked up the worn and gray bamboo slips, unfolded them, and was immediately happy. She asked, "Where is the beggar now? Bring him up quickly. What a great peace and tranquility! You did a great job!"
The messenger said, "The beggar is waiting outside the mansion."
Yang Si and Qi Guanrang looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
At the same time, Li Yun, Dian Yin and Jiang Nongqin were also urgently summoned to the hall.
When the three of them arrived, they saw a ragged and thin beggar kneeling in the hall, with dishevelled hair and dirty face, but a pair of black and bright eyes.
Jiang Nongqin sat down in silence in his seat, Dian Yin also said nothing, but Li Yun was a little curious.
"My Lord, who is this person?"
"A great hero." Jiang Pengji said with a smile, and asked the beggar to tell the whole story.
The little beggar was not afraid of the stage, and spoke very logically.
It turned out that long after Jiang Pengji captured the small town, An Xuan found an excuse to leave Kinmen County and rushed to Honglian County.
Why did he go to Honglian County?
Of course, it was to cooperate with Jiang Pengji and create opportunities for her.
The leader of the Red Lotus Sect claimed to be a god who came to the world to save the people of the world, but in fact he was wearing the skin of a god to cheat the people of their money.
He was arrogant and extravagant, greedy for money and sex, and wanted to take everything for himself.
The uneven distribution of stolen goods would naturally make some people feel unhappy.
An Xuan made suggestions for the scholar several times, which made the scholar stand out.
The scholar deliberately suppressed An Xuan and did not let him appear in front of the Red Lotus Sect Leader, but he was noticed by someone with a heart.
This person with a heart was one of the brothers who had been through life and death with the Red Lotus Sect Leader, and could be regarded as the second in command of the Red Lotus Sect.
