Farmer's Wife Has Space

Chapter 407 Storytelling

Gu Zheng remained silent and did not answer, apparently disagreeing with Gu Ming and Ouyang Zhi's views.

He is different from Gu Ming and Ouyang Zhi in his blood. He advocated fighting first because he knew that the imperial court's reinforcements are like flowers in a mirror.

After digging such a big hole for them, there is no reason to fill them with soil immediately.

Therefore, the imperial court's reinforcements, if any, will only appear when they are both defeated.

They have to figure out a way to win on their own.

Yue Lingzhi knew that Gu Zheng wanted to fight first, but she didn't know which one he wanted to fight first?
Or he didn't think it through yet, so he didn't tell her.

But she felt that it was inappropriate to attack the No. [-] bandit den first, because the data showed that No. [-] bandit den was the most similar to Luokang Mountain. Among the bandits inside, many villagers were farming in it.

If there is an attack, these villagers may be the first to be pushed out to die. Moreover, there is a big mountain behind the No. [-] bandit den. Even if they can be captured in the end, those bandits may escape to the mountain.

As soon as the officers and soldiers left, they came back to occupy the nest.

I don't know if Gu Zheng's thoughts are the same as hers.

In her opinion, it is best to attack the No. [-] bandit den first.

But she didn't want to mention it explicitly.

She thought of an idea and said to them: "When I was young, my grandfather often told me stories. Once, he told me a wonderful story about a civil servant surnamed Wang who led soldiers to suppress bandits."

All three looked at her.

"A civil servant, how did he suppress bandits?"

Yue Lingzhi said: "Master Wang has used an anti-espionage method."

None of the three understood.

Yue Lingzhi hurriedly explained: "It was the spies that the bandits had planted in the government, but was discovered by Mr. Wang, but he did not execute them, but coerced and lured them to become his spies willingly, so he learned something about those bandits. The true situation."

Gu Zheng couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, he became a character in the little daughter-in-law's story.

"He also used the method of ten-family ties. Ten families form a group and supervise each other. If there are fewer people in a family, they must report it. If someone in a family becomes a bandit, if they don't report it, the ten families will sit together and be punished."

Ouyang Zhi and Gu Ming's eyes lit up.

"This method is good. It will definitely eliminate many hidden dangers."

Gu Zheng also listened carefully.

Seeing that they were interested, Yue Lingzhi began to talk about the key points.

"The most exciting thing is his strategy of suppressing bandits."

"There are four bandit dens waiting for him to encircle and suppress them. Some are large, some are small, some are far away and some are near. He needs to encircle and suppress them one by one. According to your ideas, which bandit den he should attack first is the last one. wise?"

Gu Ming and Ouyang Zhi made a wrong decision at the beginning, but now they said in unison: "It depends on the situation, and we must do what we can."

Yue Lingzhi said: "He is different from you, the number of soldiers he leads will not be less than those bandits."

Ouyang Zhi said: "This is much more flexible. Attacking the few people first can boost morale."

Ouyang Qing, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help expressing his opinion.

"You can also attack the one with the most people first, which can act as a deterrent."

Gu Ming added: "Yes, you can also attack the nearest one, which can prevent the soldiers from being tired from the journey and affect the combat effectiveness. The farthest one is left for the last solution."

Yue Lingzhi looked at Gu Zheng: "What do you think?"

The corners of Gu Zheng's mouth rose, he knew the purpose of the little daughter-in-law telling this story.

She wanted to remind him that soldiers have tricks.

But he didn't say what he thought, but urged Yue Lingzhi: "Tell me how Lord Wang does it first?"
