At this point, Wen Xian turned around and said, "But in chaos, there must be opportunities. How should General Wu fight this battle?"

Heroes have emerged in troubled times since ancient times, and maybe there is also such a figure hidden in the Northern Fujian Prefecture.

If there were, she hoped Wu Zhong could recruit these people. In this way, it can not only add support to the Wu family's army, but also allow them to defend the city they just captured.

But in addition to these people, some of their own confidants must be stationed locally to prevent this situation from happening in the past two years.

As for those mediocre officials in the past, they can be avoided if they can. Da Qin needs fresh blood to change the dynasty.

Of course, after unification, the name Da Qin will inevitably be changed again.

The current Emperor Xingsheng is a brave and reckless man. He did not regain the surrounding cities first, but went straight to Huanglong, rushed into the palace and started killing.

At that time, most of the imperial army was stationed outside, and the capital was caught off guard, which gave Emperor Xingsheng an opportunity.

After Emperor Xingsheng succeeded to the throne, he seemed to know where his shortcomings were. So, he took action to regain the city around the capital.

Several surrounding cities surrounded the capital, and Emperor Xingsheng became an emperor who had no worries about food and clothing. As for the capital city and several surrounding cities, as for the rest, they are in a free-range state.

Over time, after the local government realized that they had been abandoned, they began to manage themselves.

Some are well-controlled and block the entrances and exits, just to keep themselves safe, like Guanping Mansion.

But there are also those who have poor management, such as the Minbei Prefecture, where there are complaints and the people are miserable.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Wu Zhong said confidently, "Our people have gone to explore the Minbei Mansion, but it's just that the generals of the city defenders are relying on their own troops and want to monopolize the Minbei Mansion.

The general of the city defense army is ambitious, but he is brave and has no plans. He cannot achieve great things and is no match for me. "

If not, Minbei Prefecture would have become independent long ago when Emperor Xingsheng succeeded to the throne, so why wait until now.

It was now that everything was in chaos, so the generals guarding the city jumped out and wanted to separate and become independent.

But so what, even if he jumps out for separation and independence, Northern Fujian Prefecture will still be full of refugees who don't have enough to eat.

In addition, since the independence of Northern Fujian, taxes have increased and the people have been miserable. Many people have left their homes and are preparing to flee to the Jiangnan area.

Under such circumstances, the Northern Fujian Prefecture is easy to break and it is easier to win over the people.

"Increase taxes?" Wen Xian frowned and said, "If I remember correctly, due to floods last year, food production was not high. Most people still had to dig wild vegetables and eat wild tree bark to survive. In this situation, it is still possible If we increase taxes, we will push the people into a dead end."

Most taxes are collected on grain, and in some places they can be deducted with money. But if you can't, or if you don't have money, you can only be caught doing corvee to offset the tax.

In addition, there were normal annual corvee services to be performed.

In this case, increasing taxes will undoubtedly be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Wen Xian's dislike for the current people in power in Northern Fujian Mansion has increased even more.

This kind of scum who doesn't care about the life and death of the people must be eradicated without mercy.

Wu Zhong said with emotion: "Yes, there have been floods in the northern Fujian area for many years. When the late emperor was still alive, he would allocate funds for flood relief every year, and also allowed the deferment of tax payments.

But since the late emperor passed away, the new emperor ascended the throne, and various changes occurred, he has never been able to take care of this. "

The late emperor mentioned by Wu Zhong should be the unlucky husband-in-law of the original owner. The new emperor is a cheap son. As for the current rebel, he did not regard him as the emperor at all. In his eyes, the man in front of him was just the enemy of Da Qin and the Wu family.

Wen Xian asked: "Does General Wu know how many soldiers there are in the Minbei Prefecture and what their force value is?"

If they are stronger than the Wu family army in all aspects, then this matter may only be done by outsmarting them.

However, Wu Zhong smiled heartily and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the defenders of the Minbei Prefecture only have two thousand people. Even if he recruited a lot of people, they are still less than five thousand, and they are still just soldiers and generals."

His people had inquired about it, and those who were doing corvee work, as long as they were strong, were taken to join the army.

But without systematic training in a short period of time, it is still incomparable to the regular army.

It would be no problem for his Wu family army to fight one against two or against three.

"In that case, let's help General Wu and the Wu family army to choose an auspicious day to send troops." Wen Xian stood up and solemnly said with her hands, "The militia's main purpose is to recruit people, so don't disturb the innocent people after entering the city."

This is a truly good soldier who does not take a stitch from the people.

"Don't worry, madam." Wu Junlan couldn't help but raise her chin and said, "Our Wu family army has strict discipline and will never attack ordinary people, let alone kill innocent people indiscriminately."

She knew that some troops entered the defeated city and burned, killed and looted. All the collected items were distributed by the military camp itself.

This kind of temptation is extremely attractive to both generals and ordinary soldiers.

But how can this be compared with other countries? What they want to fight here are their own people, and what they want to recover is their own territory. Of course, they cannot act recklessly.

"That's very good." Wen Xian turned to Wu Zhong and said, "I will send a hundred guardsmen to follow the general north. They are good at guerrilla warfare. General Wu can arrange them according to his own battle plan."

The Imperial Guards were her special forces, but when told about special forces to Wu Zhong, he probably couldn't understand them. It would be better to switch to the term they are familiar with and call them the Praetorian Guards.

Wu Sheng, who always stood behind Wu Zhong and said nothing, asked: "What is guerrilla warfare? Can your Majesty explain it in detail?"

He originally thought that Wen Xian, as a female, would not understand anything about marching and fighting.

But I just heard her talk so much and ask so many questions. Wu Sheng suddenly felt that Wen Xian should know a lot of things.

Wen Xian smiled and said: "Guerrilla warfare, to put it simply, means fighting here and there, and then running away after the fight. There is no need to stay, let alone pursue the victory.

But the soldiers who go to fight guerrilla warfare must be organized and disciplined, obey orders, and they must choose people with strong physical and all-around qualities. "

To sum up, we need smart people with high force value and shrewd reactions.

After all, guerrilla warfare focuses on speed, accuracy and ruthlessness. If you are slow to react, it will be fatal on the battlefield.

Wu Sheng's eyes lit up and he continued to ask: "If we only have a hundred people on our side in a guerrilla war, but the enemy has thousands or ten thousand people, how can we fight instead?"

It sounds interesting, but I don't know how it will work.

He was eager to ask for more details.

Wen Xian's lips twitched slightly as she said, "We are making a sneak attack, not facing the enemy head-on. If the opponent has a large number of people, we will fight in a place with few people and retreat before reinforcements arrive."
