The Three Kingdoms' Need for a Master

Chapter 188
"How many soldiers and horses do they have?"

"This," Zhou Shu looked at Li Gan.

Li Gan then said: "Except for the Wang family and the Zhou family each having three thousand soldiers and horses, other big and small families have two or three thousand more, at least several hundred. If you come here together, big and small, I'm afraid you won't say much." Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses."

Tens of thousands of soldiers against one thousand soldiers who don't know their loyalty or not, their chances of winning are indeed low enough.

"How did the news get out?"

Everyone shook their heads in a daze, Li Gan said: "I sent people to blockade the county seat, and didn't let anyone out of the city. I don't know why the news leaked out."

"The four city gates are all our own people?"

Li Gan affirmed: "All of them are my confidantes, there is absolutely no problem."

Xu Chu said: "Just let me take a thousand soldiers and horses and rush to kill them. I'm sure I will win."

"No."

Qin Fan said: "The question now is, what can you do if these thousand soldiers turn against each other?"

Xu Chu scratched his head.

If these thousand soldiers are all elite and loyal, with Xu Chu's bravery, there is no chance.

But these are the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Zhou and Wang families, not to mention Zhou Yu and others, but the thousand soldiers are a big problem.

Qin Fan thought for a long time, and finally felt that it was too late to go back to rescue the soldiers.Only inhuman means can be used.That is assassination.

But whether Shi Yi will come or not is another matter.

Regarding Zhou Yu, Qin Fan was really not sure at all.

Gu Yong said: "Master, this Yuzhang County has formed such a trend. I think we can vigorously develop our power after we go back."

Qin Fan nodded and said: "Yuan Tan is right, we should be more careful in our actions, and we must not miss the best opportunity."

Lu Su suddenly said: "Master, I think we should retire?"

Everyone looked at him.

Lu Su calmly said: "The current situation is harmful to us, but not beneficial. Even if we want to take Yuzhang County, we are powerless. Instead of waiting, it is better to let go earlier."

In fact, Qin Fan also thought of retreating, this Yuzhang County is not easy to eat, if it is an ordinary family, let Wang Yue and Xu Chu fight, maybe there is a chance.

But facing the famous Zhou Yu, Gao Wugong has lost its unique advantages.

You can only rely on hard power to confront them head-on.

The problem is, there is no hard power.

Even these thousand soldiers may be double-dealing and foolish.

Lu Su is very smart, he has already seen the crux of the problem, so he proposed to withdraw troops.

Qin Fan glanced at Gu Yong, and Gu Yong looked at Zhou Shu.

Zhou Shu sighed, and said, "I've been the prefect of Yuzhang County for so many years, I've had enough, I'd rather leave."

Li Gan's expression was gloomy, and Qin Fan's heart was also in a bad mood. The bull was blown off by others, and he was about to run away when he encountered difficulties in a blink of an eye.

Who can stand it?
The atmosphere was a little dull for a while.

"Let's all go back first, I'll think about other ways."

After everyone left, Qin Fan said: "The leak of the news is too hurtful. If there is no leak, the Wang and Zhou families are unprepared, and the chance of success in the assassination is not small. But now the opportunity for the assassination has been lost."

Zhou Shu suddenly said: "Actually, it's not impossible."

Qin Fan looked at him in surprise, and hurriedly asked, "What can I do?"

"Mountain soldiers."

Zhou Shu said: "There are quite a few Shanyue people in our county. If we can ask for their help and then use the terrain, it will be useless for the family to send troops."

"Mountain soldiers?"

Qin Fan said: "Is the Shanyue soldier nearby?"

Zhou Shudao: "Shanyue people are distributed in a very wide range. There are tens of thousands of people living in the mountains around our Nanchang county. If they block the family's advance, the family has nothing to do."

"Here," Qin Fan asked, "how can I borrow soldiers and horses?"

He was still thinking about exterminating them. They are not stupid, so how could they borrow troops.

Zhou Shuwei said: "If the Shanyue people get corresponding benefits, they will naturally send troops."

"What's the benefit?"

"Shanyue people are treacherous. It's really hard to say what benefits they have, but if we satisfy their interests, we will send troops to some extent."

Qin Fan knew in his heart that the old man probably thought of using the Shanyue people, but he probably failed.

Qin Fan also didn't want to use the Shanyue people, but there was no other way in front of him. After choosing to lose Yuzhang County and use the Shanyue people to gain some temporary benefits for them, he was still inclined to choose to use the Shanyue people to give them some benefits.

"I'm going to meet the Sanyue people."

"My lord, I'll go with you too." Xu Chu said immediately upon hearing this.

"My lord, you can't." Both Gu Yong and Lu Su were taken aback, "Shanyue people are treacherous, if the lord has something wrong, what should I do?"

Qin Fan patted them on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, even if I don't invite reinforcements, I can still get out."

Gu Yong said: "Do you want to go back and bring some reinforcements?"

"Forget it." Qin Fan said: "There are less than [-] people in Lujiang County, and it's not as many as others, so there's no need for that."

Lu Su frowned and said: "Although Yuzhang County has a vast territory, there are many mountains and rivers inside, so it's not really a good place to go. We don't necessarily have to occupy this place."

"No," Qin Fan said, "After so much effort, it's not my style to give up now. Now that I've done it, I have to do everything I can. When the time comes, it really won't work, so it's not too late to give up."

Lu Su had no choice but to say no more.

Qin Fan turned to Li Gan and said, "If I don't come back before then, you should guard if you can. If you can't, you must send them out safely."

Li Gan hurriedly agreed.

Asked Zhou Shu to help find a guide, Qin Fan was about to leave, and Xu Chu also followed.

"Don't come, stay and protect them."

Qin Fan told Xu Chudao.

"No." Xu Chu said, "It's too dangerous for my lord to go alone."

Gu Yong and Lu Su also persuaded Qin Fan to take Xu Chu with him because he had no other choice.

The guide's name is Qi Ba, the eldest in the family, and has a good relationship with an indigenous leader in Shanyue.

He took Qin Fan and others out of the county town and walked all the way up the mountain.

Talking while walking, quite eloquent.

"Qi Ba, what do Shanyue people like?" Qin Fan asked casually.

Qi Badao: "The first is of course safety. As long as we don't send troops to destroy them, we can talk about anything."

"Send troops?" Qin Fan asked puzzled, "During the prefect Zhou's tenure, did he still send troops to destroy them?"

"Not really," Qi Badao: "But the previous prefects would send troops to destroy them, and the two sides would win and lose. Anyway, it's almost become a routine."

"What evil deeds do Shanyue soldiers like to do?"

Qi Ba glanced around and said, "There are a lot of evil things. They live on the mountain, and they often go down the mountain to plunder the nearby villages. We have nothing to do with them, we can only watch."

He pointed to the surroundings and said, "Do you see that there are very few people around?"
