Chapter 116 The Actual Combat Application of the Art of War (2)

"The so-called bait, if you lure it with profit, it is all a bait soldier. You must not take the bait soldier, because if you take it, you will lose."

This is the way of bait warfare that Yang Fu said at the beginning of the article, and the first step to capture Xinping County is to bait those bandits, lure them out of the tortoise shell in Xinping County, and kill them in one fell swoop!
And having learned about the lack of food for the thieves in Xinping County, they naturally knew what bait to choose: food and grass!
"General, general, look!" The scouts yelled on the city wall, wishing they hadn't deafened the candidate's ears: "That's the grain transportation brigade of the Ma family!"

The candidate immediately looked over, and sure enough, he saw a transport team entering the Machao camp, and if he looked carefully, he could see that the transport soldiers were moving the grain and grass from the warehouse next to the central army's tent.One of the unlucky fellows accidentally sprinkled the sack, and scattered the corn in it all over the ground, in exchange for a whip from the quartermaster.

"General, let's rob this baggage. The brothers in the city are about to gnaw the bark." The incompetence of the candidates made the rogues below have no sense of superiority at all, and said whatever they thought.

"Fart! Those supplies have already been transported to Ma Chao's camp, you want me to lead the troops to fight the Xiliang iron cavalry?" The candidate kicked the scout again in anger: "Fight with those butchers? Your life is too long, kid. I still want to live a few more years!"

The scout was often beaten and scolded by the candidates, and a lot of resentment had already accumulated in his heart.At this time, when I heard that the candidate didn't want to rob food, I was so angry that I yelled: "What kind of shit general are you? I used to say that following you would make us popular and hot, but now it's good, being surrounded in this ruined city , I didn’t even eat half a grain of rice. Why don’t you go out and fight, maybe you can get a full meal!”

"You kid wants to rebel, don't you?" The candidate stared at him, naturally a little powerful.But when he saw that most of the bandit soldiers around him also looked like the scout and wanted to go down to grab food, he knew that he had committed public anger, and couldn't help but lower his voice and said: "The Xiliang iron cavalry is invincible all over the world." , especially that Ma Chao, who had won the title of "Tianweishen General" among the Qiang people, and killed people like hemp. With our wooden guns and iron rods to fight with others, can we win? Maybe, that's Ma Chao's idea, let us be automatically sent to the tiger's mouth!"

"Then what should we do? Just starve to death like this?" The scout was in a hurry. He was a thief himself, and his nature was to pluck the feathers. ?
"Let me think about it again. This matter is very strange and needs to be discussed in the long run." The candidate had no choice but to say so perfunctorily.

"By the time you think of a way, we'll starve to death!" The scout was so stubborn that he didn't care about it, and immediately splashed on the city wall.

"Get out!" The candidate had been simmering with anger for a long time, and was provoked by the scout at this time, so he picked up the big knife in his hand and slashed at the scout.

The scout didn't expect that the candidate who usually didn't use the knife would kill him, and he had no room to resist, so he was chopped off by the big knife.The head rolled down the city wall, leaving only the shocking blood all over the place.

"I led you to fight here and there, killed countless people, and along the way, you wolf cubs also enjoyed a lot of blessings. If it weren't for me, you would have died under those rebellious soldiers, and now you actually treat me as your servant, yell Come and drink?!" After the candidate killed the scout, he still couldn't let go of his hatred, and looked around, as if he wanted to find another unlucky ghost to vent his anger: "I tell you, today's food and grass can't be robbed. If any of you have the courage Go and rob the food and grass, and never go back to Xinping County!"

After all, the candidate was still angry, and walked down the city wall with the bloody sword in his hand: there is still a maidservant in the mansion who hasn't opened the bag yet, and it's just time to use it to extinguish the fire...

Don't think that the candidates have nothing to eat like these big soldiers. This guy has already collected the food in the city into one place for his own allocation and distribution.Those big soldiers are so hungry that they have no strength, but the candidates still have the energy to vent their lust!
"This dog, my mouth is full of greasy food, but we don't even have a meal of porridge!" The soldiers on the city wall said bitterly when they saw the candidate leave.

"That's right, without us, he's a fucking fart! How dare he kill us at this moment!" Another soldier spat at the candidate's back and said harshly.

"Don't say too much, I think the leader is right. You said that we saw Ma Chao's grain transport team for no reason?" An old soldier hurriedly tried to dissuade them, lest these recruits rebel.

"Old Ding, who are you fooling? These new recruits don't know, you don't know?" Another veteran said sarcastically after hearing this: "Ma Chao's men are all cavalry first, and the supplies and supplies will arrive half a day later. This is not normal. What’s more, it seems that the team delivering food and grass will not stop in these two days. The candidate for the dog day is purely a shrinking turtle!"

The veteran choked for a moment, and had nothing to say, and felt somewhat dissatisfied with the candidate in his heart.Afterwards, the crowd yelled again, all of them speaking harshly towards the candidate.

In Ma Chao's camp, after seeing the head picked up by his subordinates, everyone couldn't help but have some smirks on their lips: It's just the first time to seduce, and already the internal strife has started?It seems that this group of thieves are not only short of food, but their morale is also quite unstable...

"Send the order, proceed to the second step immediately." After Ma Chao ordered his subordinates to take away the head of the vice, he immediately ordered.

"Obey!" Everyone agreed with a loud bang, and they all went to prepare.There was only one Fazheng left, who seemed to have no work to do, so he smiled awkwardly at Ma Chao and retreated.

And Ma Chao looked at Fazheng's back, and couldn't help muttering: "Am I being too cruel? This guy is just a 15-year-old boy who is in the rebellious stage. If he can't stand this cold violence, wouldn't he Did the chicken fly and the egg hit?"

After thinking about it, Ma Chao decided to stick to the policy of cold violence: extraordinary people do extraordinary things, if Fazheng can't even survive this setback, there will be no achievements in the future.

In a blink of an eye, the moon and stars were thinning out, and Ma Chao's first night in Xinping County had quietly arrived.

With the dots of light, the thieves on the city wall were too hungry to sleep.Just lie down together lazily, talking without saying a word, so that they can get through the night.

"Old Ding, do you think we will have a chance of winning if we go out to rob food?" A new bandit soldier asked, weakly.

"Don't think about it, if you rob food halfway, maybe it will be fine, if you go to Ma Chao's camp to rob food, it will be death!" Lao Ding didn't bother to talk to the bandit soldier, but simply stated the facts.

"Old Ding, listen, is there a sound?" The veteran who choked on Lao Ding in the morning said, but his ears were pressed against the city wall.

"Well, there are voices, but there are not many people..." Lao Ding also put his ears on the city wall at the same time, but then he found that it was unnecessary: ​​"Someone is climbing the city wall... but it doesn't seem like they are coming to open the city." door."

Lao Ding looked at the hook on the battlements, holding a knife in his hand, thinking whether to cut the rope after the man had climbed halfway, and let the boy fly for a while...

"Don't cut it, catch the living one, this boy is the one who was beaten during the day for transporting food!" The veteran quickly stopped Lao Ding, and continued: "Maybe he came to deliver food to us!"

"Can you recognize this too?"

After the man came up, he was immediately knocked down by four or five bandit soldiers.Lao Ding took a look, and it really was the boy who was beaten during the day.

"Say, what are you doing in Xinping County?! Are you going to sneak open the city gate?" Lao Ding put the knife on the boy's neck and said harshly.

"My lord, please forgive me. This villain is originally from Xinping County. He attacked Fufeng County with Li Kan Chengyin and those two idiots a few days ago. He became a prisoner. He just escaped today and wants to go home to see his mother." !"

"What's your name?" Old Ding asked again, seeing that the man was flustered and he didn't look like a Xiliang cavalry.

"Little man Xiao Tian."
