Chapter 169: Besieged on all sides(1/2)

For people in troubled times, happiness is actually a very simple thing.

If you can eat a full meal, you don’t have to silence the bark and eat weeds to satisfy your hunger.

If you can have a brick and a half tiles to shelter from the wind and rain without the wind and sun all day long, it is enough to smile, and it is happiness.

With the blessing of Song Jiang, the free voluntary propagandist, Wang Xiao’s image in Fang La’s army is three more fierce than that of the evil demon of Yasha.

‘Every time I fight, I will always pit them. I dig my heart into vegetables, suck blood into wine, and I am addicted to people. I will never be happy, and I will control hundreds of girls at night.’

This is Wang Xiao in Song Jiang's mouth.

To be honest, the first half of this sentence is quite interesting, and the last sentence can be regarded as an intuitive description of Wang Xiao’s proud ability.

But the middle part is nonsense, and Wang Xiao is not as perverted as Sun Erniang.

Just because Song Jiang slandered Wang Xiao's reputation, the Fang La army he met here in Qingxi either fought to the death or fled when they met.

Faced with this situation, Wang Xiao not only wrote down another note for Song Jiang in his small notebook, but also used rare means of carefreeness.

The strong soldiers held iron trumpets and shouted at the hills and forests everywhere, saying that they would have something to eat to surrender.

The Huotou Army directly set up a big pot in front. The hot steamed buns and fragrant broth played a bigger role than swords and guns.

At the beginning, all the ragged and skinny old men came out.

This was sent out to test.

When people in the distance saw that the old men who no one wanted could eat and drink enough, more people walked out of the hills.

The terrain here in Qingxi is mainly mountainous. A mountain bag is connected to a mountain bag, and the mountain is lush and lush.

It is difficult for Wang Xiao's armored soldiers and cavalry to exert their strength in this environment. When you go deep into the forest, you often encounter various strange traps.

Faced with this situation, Wang Xiao simply adopted the tactic of siege.

He drove Fang La's army into mountain caves, cut off the roads around him and directly surrounded them.

Living in the mountains is not as simple as imagined.

In film and television dramas, you can live a secluded life with a few thatched houses and a few acres of land. That's all nonsense.

The only things I eat in the mountains and forests are sour wild fruits and uncooked birds and beasts. What I drink is dirty water that I don’t know how many parasites are. What I wear is leaves and animal skins that cannot block the wind or shelter from the rain. The only tools available are stones and wood.

The most important thing is that there is no salt in the mountain.

The Fang La army did gather a lot of food and grass in Qingxi, but they were all left for the young and strong people to eat.

The existence of the elderly, weak women and children who consumed purely were driven out to eat official food after Wang Xiao began to Huairou.

At its peak, the Fang La army claimed to have a million troops, but most of them were forced to bring in to make up for the numbers of the elderly, weak, women and children. In order to increase the number of people, it seemed that there were many people, and they were brought with them as long as they had legs and could walk.

Wang Xiao did not kill these people because they were all bullied and had not done anything bad. At the same time, he also wanted to use these elderly, weak, women and children to destroy the morale of the army.

When the news spread that the government army would not kill people and were still in charge of food and food, many people came out of the caves in the mountains and hills to surrender to the government army.

Fang Bo, Song Jiang and others thought this was a good thing, and they could get rid of these burdens and consume the food of the official army.

If the government and army lack food, they will have to retreat.

So not only did they not stop it, but instead helped the fire and sent out all the useless people.

Wang Xiao stored all these people.

"General, the army's food and grass are only enough for ten days."

Han Shizhong walked through the captive camp like a pile of beggars and found Wang Xiao who was drinking broth. He complained, "Today, thousands of people went down the mountain. If this continues, our military rations will be eaten up."

Wang Xiao picked up a large spoon and put it into the pot, scooped a large bowl of broth and handed it to Han Shizhong.

"These are all entangled into the rebels, and it is their duty to rescue them."

Han Shizhong respectfully took the bowl, "The general knows this, but there is really not much food and fodder in the army."

Wang Xiao burped comfortably, "Don't worry, Hangzhou will soon transport food."

The prosperity of Hangzhou City surprised Wang Xiao, who was used to being big money, was really countless of the materials seized, and the grain and other things were calculated in warehouses.

In addition, the Western Army helped collect wealth from wealthy families before, even hundreds of thousands of elderly, weak and disabled people could afford to raise them.

Han Shizhong drank all the broth with a rude slut. "General, why don't you send these people back to their respective prefectures? I'm really puzzled to keep them here to consume food for nothing."

These old, weak, sick and disabled people were brought by Fang La from the six prefectures and fifty-two counties. In theory, since you have gone down the mountain, you can eat and drink and send it back to your hometown.

But Wang Xiao left these people to support them, which made it impossible for everyone in the army to understand.

"Do you know Xiang Yu?"

Han Shizhong was stunned and nodded, "The last general knows that the famous Western Chu King."

"Do you know how Xiang Yu was defeated in the Battle of Gaixia?"

"The ambush on the ten sides of the Marquis of Huaiyin?"

"That's the process, the root cause is to be surrounded by enemies."

Wang Xiao explained to him, "The main force under Xiang Yu is the children of Jiangdong. They followed Xiang Yu across the river and fought for many years. They missed their hometown very much. Han Xin was surrounded by enemies and directly disintegrated the fighting spirit of Xiang Yu's army."

"Does the general want to use these people to dismantle the fighting spirit of Fang La's remaining party?" Han Shizhong suddenly realized and saluted respectfully. "The general's magical plan is really the reincarnation of the Marquis of Huaiyin."

After thinking about the fate of the Huaiyin Marquis, Han Shizhong felt that this was inappropriate again. When he hurriedly wanted to change his words, Wang Xiao spoke.

"The troops of Fang La Army are also children of Jiangdong. These people seem to be old, weak, sick and disabled, but their nephews and grandchildren are the main forces of Fang La Army. Now they are all here. How much morale and combat power do you think Fang La's remaining troops have?"

Fang La forcibly pulled people into the group before, and it was impossible for the elderly and weak to let go of the young and strong. If they wanted to be pulled, the whole family would take them away.

Now that the elderly, weak, women and children are going down the mountain, the young and strong are still on the mountain. For Chinese people who value filial piety, this situation will not last long.

Han Shizhong bowed respectfully and bowed respectfully, "The general is really the reincarnation of Zhuge Wuhou."

This is beautiful, and finally brought back the matter of Huaiyin Hou.

Wang Xiao calmly accepted Han Shizhong's flattery, "It's almost time to calculate it. Take your Yingtou to take a shortcut and set out in secret to Hangzhou City. Protect the grain transport team in secret."

"Fang La army wants to rob the grain?"

"As long as they have the most basic military literacy, they should know that they can't hold on for long when their morale is unstable. There is only one way to solve it."

"The food road is cut off."

Just as Wang Xiao predicted, seeing the increase in deserters, Fang Bo and others who could not sit still finally decided to send troops to cut off Wang Xiao's food route.

They divided into small groups, set out in the dark, jumped out of the encirclement and gathered on the outside.

Then, he attacked the grain transport team driving from Hangzhou City halfway. However, he unexpectedly was the Han Shizhong cavalry group lurking beside him and was defeated and returned home in a crushing defeat.

"You did well, write down this credit."

Looking at Han Shizhong who was proudly returning to report his life, Wang Xiao praised him.

After experiencing the world of Ming Dynasty, Wang Xiao no longer pursues climbing the technology tree and sweeping the world.

It takes decades to carry out the industrial revolution, leaving a solid foundation for future generations to unify the world in hundreds of years.

Wang Xiao had already done this kind of thing.

The mission world is endless, and it would be too boring if every world is so brutal and troublesome.

Now he just wants to make up for the regrets he knew when he was reading books, such as the shame of Jing Kang.

The rest, Wang Xiao would rather enjoy life.

Eating, drinking, having fun and interacting with beautiful girls is much more meaningful than climbing a technology tree to conquer the world and unifying the world.

In the early morning, the wind between the mountains and forests is slightly cold.

Wang Xiao tightened his cloak and played with a pair of glass balls sent by Fang Bo in his hand.

Well, it's just glass balls. The ones in the modern world are a pair of several pieces.

However, in the Song Dynasty, Liuli is a very valuable thing. I don’t know which wealthy family Fang La snatched this pair of glass balls from.

"What conditions do you want?"

Wang Xiao was entertaining Fang Bo's envoy, who came to discuss recruitment.

There is nothing we can do without recruiting.

Wang Xiao arranged for the elderly, weak, women and children who had enough food and drink to go to the front to call their children and nephews all day long, which led to the large-scale desertion of Fang La's army.

He attacked the grain transport team with all his strength, but was defeated and returned.

The morale of the army was floating, and Fang La's army was full of internal strife and deserters, and could no longer fight.

The envoy who came was Wang Yin, Fang La's Minister of War.

"Mr. Pacifier, we are willing to be invited by the court. We can follow the example of the military affairs of the wing."

Wang Yin’s words imitate the wing military means that we can be incorporated into the local wing military.

In this way, the thief transformed into the local wing army and had a formal official identity.

They don't care about salary or something.

Although Fang La had been in rebellion for less than a year, he plundered countless people in the six prefectures of Jiangdong. All the military generals were rich and had countless wealth.
