The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Su Jin issued an order loudly, summoning all the generals to sit in the big tent, looking at the suspicious eyes of everyone, Su Jin smiled and said: "Everyone, I have already figured out a way, this move may reverse the situation in one fell swoop, but We need everyone to work hard tonight."

Everyone looked at each other, looking at Su Jin's beaming look, it seemed that they didn't want to be joking. Under this situation, even Zhuge Liang was still alive, and it would be difficult to come up with a good solution. The envoy even declared that he had figured out a way, which is really instructive. Accident.

Li Chongdao: "Brother Su has a clever plan so soon? Could it be a sneak attack on the bandit village?"

Su Jin smiled and said, "How to sneak attack? The terrain there is dangerous, and it is difficult to go up during the day, but it is even more difficult to attack at night."

Everyone asked questions one after another, but Su Jin smiled and didn't answer, just said: "It's not that I don't want to say it, I just don't want to make everyone feel sudden, now I'm here to assign tasks, you only need to complete the tasks to make a great contribution, the rest I'll handle it."

Li Chong heard that the voice was wrong, and asked suspiciously: "Isn't it sending troops to attack?"

Su Jin smiled and said: "There is a saying in the art of war: attacking the city is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top, blindly attacking our more than 1000 people will not be able to take down this cottage, so I will use the strategy of attacking the heart."

Everyone is getting more and more confused. This guy is talking on paper, saying that attacking the heart is the best, but how to attack the heart?Will the bandits take care of you?

Su Jin ignored everyone's doubts and said loudly: "Ma Jun, Zhao and Fang both obey orders!"

Zhao Dutou and Fang Dutou hurriedly stood up, muttering in their hearts, they were the first to point at the two of them, do they want to lead the team to be cannon fodder?

While feeling apprehensive, I heard Su Jin say: "The two of you led a [-]-horse army to detour far away to Shouzhou City, and go directly to Huainan Road to transfer to the yamen to ask for some things for me."

Zhao and Fang stared at each other and thought, "What do you want? Do you want soldiers? You have sent all the letters in your own hand, and they won't dump you. What's the use of us going there?"

"You tell the transshipment envoy, it is fine for him not to send troops, but he needs to support our supplies. You tell him to open the military warehouse to take out hundreds of tents and then rush back overnight. After this matter is completed, the previous matter will be wiped out. I will still help you Please credit."

Zhao Dutou hurriedly said: "Then what if the transfer envoy doesn't give it? What should I do?"

Su Jin yelled coldly: "Show off your Imperial Guard style, don't be like a pussy egg, if they don't give it, you force him to give it, if there is a mistake, I will take care of it, and you tell him, he neither He sent troops and did not provide supplies, so he said that the envoy suspected that they were in connection with the bandits. If he did not give the tent, the envoy would withdraw the troops immediately, and hurried back to the capital to participate in the performance in front of the emperor. He is also suspected of collaborating with bandits, anyway, this envoy is a dead end, and I will hold him back when he is dying."

Everyone was dumbfounded, the special envoy jumped the wall in a hurry, and even the envoy who was transferred to the hospital casually accused him of slander, is this crazy?

But these words really emboldened Zhao Fang and both of them. Su Jin scolded him as a 'pushy egg' so angry that he wanted to scold his mother. In order to avenge Su Jin, but it was spread that the faces of his group were disgraceful. After the misunderstanding was cleared up, he urgently needed a chance to prove himself, so this time it was an opportunity to change the image in the eyes of the special envoy.

The two of them clasped their fists in promise and stepped back, Su Jin continued: "The remaining 1000 people are divided into two groups. After dark, when both of you transport the tents to this place, you will be like this. After dawn, I want this tent." Ten times the size of the camp, ten times more cooking stoves, and ten times the movement in the barracks, if you can do this, you will be considered to have completed the mission of suppressing bandits."

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, and the special envoy was planning to cast doubt on the soldiers, but so what if the camp was expanded a hundred times?Isn't that so much soldiers?Someone couldn't resist asking this question.

Su Jin smiled and said: "How do you understand psychological warfare? Let me explain it to you. When you fight with others, there is only one opponent. Are you afraid?"

Everyone said: "Not afraid, what are you afraid of one-on-one?"

"What about one against three? Do you dare?"

"This... depends on the situation. If I have a sharp knife in my hand and they are bare-handed, then I'm not afraid."

"What about one pair of ten? What about one pair of hundred? Even if I give you the best sword, you dare not do it."

"This... Then naturally I dare not, isn't this courting death?"

Su Jin smiled and said: "The strength of the other party is too much higher than yours. Even if you don't do anything, you will feel a kind of threat, let alone take the initiative to provoke. This is the deterrent force that County Magistrate Li said. With a strong The deterrence thing is easy to handle."

A Dutou said: "What is there to do? If there is a fight, wouldn't it be our soldiers? Those are all fake."

Su Jin said: "It's false to fight, but it's real if we don't fight. As long as we don't attack, they will always feel scared and coerced."

"What about the food? Doesn't it mean that if you don't fight, you can't get the food back?"

Su Jin said loudly: "This is the crux of the problem. You will know the result tomorrow, so prepare for it. Everyone must do their best, and you can't be careless. If the bandits see a flaw, it will be the first time." kill him."

Seeing Su Jin gritted his teeth, everyone was startled. The special envoy seldom talked about beating people and killing people. Once he said it, he must have become cruel. Everyone accepted the order awe-inspiringly. Both Zhao and Fang had headaches Calling the horse army to get on the horse, first go south and then west in a big circle to get out of the bandit's observation range, and then go straight to Shouzhou City.

The rest of the team was divided into groups by Pan Jiang, and each group of 500 people was organized and waited until dark to work.

After Su Jin was assigned, he sat down on the chair with a long sigh of relief, and there was no turning back when he opened his bow. Although this matter was risky, there was no other way.

Li Chong didn't leave. He looked into Su Jin's eyes and said, "Brother Su, tell me, are you going to take risks alone?"

Su Jin asked in surprise, "Did you guess it?"

Li Chong shook his head and said, "How can you do this? Do you know how dangerous it is? Bandits will reason with you? You are going to die, I absolutely forbid you to do this."

Su Jin smiled and said: "Brother Li, you think too much of me. I, Su Jin, will not do things like dying. Although people are mortal, I am only sixteen. The world of flowers and flowers is so wonderful. Not going to seek death."

Li Chong muttered: "Aren't you looking for your own death?"

Su Jin stretched out his hand to hold Li Chong's arm and said, "Brother Li, I know that you care about my younger brother, and my younger brother also regards you as the best friend in his life, but do you know that if I don't take this risk, what will happen? "

Li Chongdao: "The consequences are very serious, but it is always necessary to think of a safe way. How can doing things like this help the situation?"

Su Jin said: "You are wrong. As long as there is enough deterrence, the bandits will never dare to do anything to me. Although the bandits don't understand the rituals of saints and sages, they understand the disparity in power and know how to protect their own interests. Under pressure, they will definitely compromise, and I firmly believe that."

Li Chongdao: "Why do you believe so firmly? Do you understand the brutality of the bandits?"

Su Jin looked into Li Chong's eyes and said: "Bandits are also human beings. Violence and brutality are just appearances. Since they are human beings, they have human essence and human weaknesses, such as bullying the weak and fearing the hard, such as being greedy for life and fearing death. Weaknesses may not be visible on the surface, but they do exist; I set up a tactic to tell them that if the negotiation fails, the army will attack regardless of everything. In the face of absolute strength, who does not think about the way out for themselves? ? As long as I give him a proper promise, I'm not afraid that they won't give in; at worst, they won't lose their lives."

Li Chong pondered: "But... what promise do you have to give them? You are only a special envoy for food affairs, not someone who keeps your word in the court. Why do you make them believe you?"

Su Jin smiled slightly, and whispered a word in Li Chong's ear, Li Chong left his seat in shock, his knees were about to fall, Su Jin grabbed him and said, "Don't do this, I don't want this Make it public, or I'll be in big trouble."

Li Chong breathed a sigh of relief: "Since you have this thing, you should be somewhat sure."

Su Jin smiled wryly and said: "It's not about the score, it's about success. If I don't succeed this time, I'll go to Beijing to plead guilty, and you won't see me in the future."

Li Chong hurriedly said: "Don't talk about being discouraged, what do you need me to do?"

Su Jin said: "Brother Li, please help me improve the details and ensure that the fake show is real, so that the bandits can't see it. This is the greatest help to me."

Li Chong cupped his hands and said: "I will do my best." After saying that, he hurried out.
