Chapter 430 Drawing a Silk Net, Burning Water and Drying Up

In the few days after the Battle of Liangshan, Ning Yi's life was basically spent in a hurry and eating. On the way to the road, I sorted out all kinds of information, ate mostly for entertainment, and negotiated with the magistrate of a county, prefecture, or other officials in charge of reserves and material allocation. In the midst of busyness, it is difficult to stop.

Of course, although it is mostly logistics that determines the outcome of a war, Ning Yi's entertainment is not for this.

In the whole process of dealing with Liangshan, the clever trick to strip and decompose more than 50,000 people that could be removed is already an immeasurable achievement in the eyes of others, but for Ning Yi, the matter is only half done. From the very beginning, he did not think that his strategy could solve all problems at once, and when he reached the worst, he must fight, but he knew that he was not familiar with fighting. Although Fang Duxing's side and Dulonggang are now willing to ask him about the final plan, but regarding the command power, Ning Yi is completely liberalized, the officers and soldiers belong to the officers and soldiers, and the Dulonggang belongs to Dulonggang, he just looks at everything with a learning mentality, and occasionally asks questions about the aspects that he does not understand, but he never questions the other party's decision.

In the case of Liang Shan's previous record, if he has any doubts, the other party will not listen, and if he is shaken, I am afraid it will be the most troublesome thing. If you want to do something, you can't let the outsider command the insider.

In the battle of Liangshan, the relevant battle records, military merits, and gold and silver income can now be determined, Ning Yi can be regarded as being kind to others, and the whole thing has become a major event in public opinion for the joint encirclement and suppression of several surrounding states and counties and the Wurui Battalion. During this period, on the one hand, he had to coordinate with all parties, distribute benefits, and report the whole matter to the right minister. On the other hand, it is necessary to urge the officials of several states and counties not to be half-hearted, such a family visit to the past, with the momentum of destroying Liangshan and Qin Siyuan's tiger skin, not only lured the surrounding officials, but also coerced.

"If possible, I don't want to talk about the Su family's blood feud all day long...... But this is the only way to do it now, lest anyone drag their feet......"

Over the course of a few days. Ning Yi went back and forth in Yunzhou, Jeju and other places. In addition to distributing benefits and asking people to do the next assistance, between the banquets, they will always talk about the Su family. This speech seems unintentional. But only Wang Shanyue, Su Wenyu and others who followed it understood. That's a fixture at almost every dinner table. Ning Yi seemed to be kind to people when he saw people, only when he talked about the Su family, or the children he had taught. His eyes were slightly red, his eyes were cold, and he even punched him on the table in front of many officials, and then reacted and apologized to humanity.

When she talked about it for the first time, Wang Shanyue was also compassionate, Su Wenyu was originally a member of the Su family, and she almost cried when she thought of those children and relatives. But after continuing a few times, they realized that this seemingly unintentional word was the focus of Ning Yi's output every time. Even when he asked the people of Dulonggang to go out to publicize the news of the defeat of Liangshan, he also emphasized that his side was not only sent by the imperial court to do things, but also because of blood feuds, which must be emphasized.

And after a few days of running and having dinners, only when he returned to meet with more than 2,000 people in Dulonggang, Ning Yi would tell Luan Tingyu, Zhu Biao, Hu Sanniang and others about the whole situation. In his mouth, this is a ventilation between the political level and the military level, and only by knowing the strategic direction of the Tao can the person who leads the troops better decide the tactics.

After the battle of Dulonggang, Luan Tingyu and others did not participate in the battle of Liangshan. But after appeasing the Zhuang Hu and treating the wounded, they still gathered more than 3,000 people and chased after them here according to Ning Yi's instructions, among the more than 3,000 people, the Zhuang Hu who can fight the most and has a blood feud with Liangshan is about 2,000 as the main force, and there are slightly more Hu Zhuangzhuang people led by Hu Sanniang. As for the other 1,000 people, they were not the logistics personnel prepared for the expedition, but according to Ning Yi's arrangement, many personnel who performed trivial tasks led by doctors, bookkeepers, and stewards were specially prepared to clean up the mess left by Song Jiang.

At noon that day, Ning Yi had already gone to talk to the commander of the Wurui Battalion, and only after the last day did he come to the barren mountain called Night Crow Ridge where the people of Dulonggang followed the Song River all the way up, and temporarily stationed there, and confessed to Luan Tingyu and others.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I won't fight a war, but after the battle of Liangshan, Song Jiang and they can choose a total of two directions, to put it bluntly, it's actually simple, either drag or fall, as for the third way, leave Shandong to join Tianhu Wang Qing and them, it shouldn't be. ”

As the sun set, in the camp set up on the Night Raven Ridge, Ning Yi laid out many delicacies on the grass, and a wild boar was roasting on the bonfire, but it was the harvest of Zhu Biao and others on the road. Luan Tingyu and the others gathered in this area, and if a young man came to take a look, Ning Yi would also say hello to them and ask them to take a box of food and cut a piece of pork.

"It's very simple, here in Shandong, the strength of the government is not strong, and many things are outdated. The surrounding barren mountains and mountains are everywhere, although they lost Liangshan, but it is impossible for the Wurui battalion to send more than 20,000 people to run around with them, the interests of Liangshan have been obtained, everyone is going to share, and no one is willing to take it out after they are distributed, and the entire logistics, the Wurui battalion cannot be delayed and is not in the mood to drag. As long as they drag the Wurui battalion to run out of ideas, find a mountain and set up a stockade again, it won't take a few years to make a comeback. ”

"Of course, it's not easy to drag alone, so they take the village and burn people's houses while running. There are not many killings, it is to leave complaints, you are a county magistrate, and you may be able to get some credit in this matter, but after the following places are all burned down, people are not dead, maybe in this year's performance appraisal, the credit will not be made up. This is one of the more troublesome things. ”

Ning Yi paused: "So they burned and grabbed in Yunzhou for a while, and then they might run to Jeju, Jeju saw that there was a problem in Yunzhou, and Lu Zhizhou over there might be something in mind that more things are better than less things, and they would call them up." And recruiting them, the size is also a credit, eliminating the bad evaluation in the performance appraisal, and one more credit than Yunzhou. It's likely that they'll do it, it's a way to fall, and once it does, it's going to be very difficult for us to kill them. ”

Luan Tingyu nodded: "So." The decisive battle should be placed on the edge of Yunzhou. ”

"I said the same thing with Commander Fang, of course, it's just possible." Ning Yi nodded, "For Song Jiang and them, if Jeju doesn't accept it, they can continue to make trouble, go north to east, Lingzhou, Qingzhou and the like." But they can't estimate what we're capable of, and the more we drag it out, the more likely it will be that mess up, so I think they'll want to be as fast as possible. I've been coordinating with all of them these days. I'm here for revenge. Destroy the blood feud, whoever easily drags me back in this matter, don't blame me for killing him all over the door, so the government should also resist for a while for the time being. ”

Ning Yi broke Liangshan. The trick is ruthless, and now people in several nearby states and counties have heard of it. Then it was rumored that the Su family was destroyed. He came to seek revenge, and in the eyes of some officials, Ning Yi is probably not only a difficult evil star. And went crazy about it. He still has a relationship with Qin Siyuan now, even if he is a member of the two heavens in Shandong, if he wants to protect the people of Liangshan, he may have to weigh the gains and losses. When he said this, Zhu Biao and the others laughed.

"Brother Yining's momentum in Shandong now, who dares to pull out the tiger's whiskers at this juncture, in recent days, I heard that there is a rumor in the green forest that there is a 'demon' on our mountain east and west roads."

"It's hard to say what you are an official, and it's not a good thing to have demons in your heart......" Ning Yi smiled and shook his head, "It's always a rainy day...... We can't afford it now, we can't afford it anymore, Liangshan can't afford to drag it out, they have more than 3,000 people, no matter how fierce they are, a gang of bandits have no stockade, they flee all day long, the officers and soldiers refuse to stop, everyone around them shouts and beats, and after a long time, they can't stand it. In a word...... It's up to everyone to fight, and I can only try to drain all the water around them, and they run around, for the sake of hope, and we will fill up the baskets they poke out one by one, and as long as they don't feel hope, the collapse will get faster and faster. ”

Hu Sanniang on the side smiled at this time: "Brother Ning is talking about the affairs of those villages, in the past few days, I heard that a few stewards have done a good job, and many people are willing to go to Dulonggang to do things." There are also dozens of people who are willing to move over, and if Song Jiang and they know that what they are doing is useless after all, they are afraid that they will be angry to death. At this time, Hu Taigong and Hu Cheng in Hujiazhuang were all injured, Hu Sanniang was sad in her heart, and she just wanted to take revenge, only when she talked about things that could make Song Jiang deflated, she was happier in her heart.

While they were talking about these things here, in a river valley twenty miles away from Night Raven Mountain, the fleeing team of Song Jiang and the others was also discussing similar topics.

In the past few days, Song Jiang and others rushed all the way in Yunzhou, looting and burning more than a dozen villages in five days, often burning down houses after looting things, and then hiding in the mountains and forests. The remaining 3,000 of them now can be regarded as elite, crossing mountains and rivers at a very fast speed, encountering thousands of officers and soldiers at a time, and being rushed by them.

This was the initial period of escape, and the morale was still very strong. Because of the deflated food in Ning Yi's hands before, Song Jiang and the others also held their breath, and at this time they also knew that as long as a village was burned, the government would have an additional burden, thinking of this, and being able to look at people helplessly without scrupulousness, Liangshan was also extremely happy.

"They say that Yangmou, ours, is also Yangmou, no matter what, there will be resentment. If the officers and soldiers are pressing us, the trouble will fall on the government, and as long as they can't solve us, there will be contradictions between the two sides one day. If there is a contradiction, we will be taken out...... Let's just see how they solve this problem. ”

The sunset was red, and the tents were distributed from the river valley to the foothills next to them, Wu Yong, Zhu Wu, Song Jiang and others watched the scene where the order between the camps was gradually orderly, and the morale was still high, and they were a little embarrassed, but between the words, there was no longer too much arrogance.

For a few days, while they were on the run, they began to set strict rules, statisticians, temporarily disperse the hills, ask the soldiers to order bans, and so on. At this time, under strong external pressure, these desperate green forest people also began to try to abide by these rules.

On the other hand, Wu Yong and the others began to tell and publicize the yang strategy they used to the soldiers in the military formation, and it was easy to switch to battle near Shuibo, as long as they continued to fight, the government side could only be deflated. And Song Jiang spared no effort to use Huairou means to get close to the leaders and soldiers. He was able to have such a reputation as "timely rain" in the rivers and lakes before, and he was very good in interpersonal contacts, and he may not be able to do everything in Liangshan with 60,000 people, but at this time, more than 3,000 people, but it is easy for people to feel the existence of this green forest boss, so it comes from. On the contrary, morale has improved.

Of course, this kind of morale may be able to last for half a month and a month, but it may not be able to last for a long time, Wu Yong, Zhu Wu and others all know this in their hearts, but they also know that as long as they can maintain it longer than Wu Rui's battalion, things can take a turn for the better. By the time this force swells up again, a forbidden Liangshan team will be enough to fight back and avenge all the revenge.

They can only believe in this.

Yang Mou to Yang Mou. Wu is also good. Whether it was Zhu Wu, Song Jiang, or even the entire more than 3,000 people who fled, they all felt that this strategy was useful. And what they don't know is. These days. Once they burned down a village. The first to rush over was not the rescue of the government, but the team of Dulonggang.

They are first and foremost saving people. Then it was to distribute enough money, food, and materials for a few days, and then began to incite, everyone was victimized by Liangshan, and that was a family. Your house was burned and you have no long things, it doesn't matter, come to my Dulonggang to work, you have money and food. There is still grain to be harvested in your field, we can temporarily borrow money and grain, the interest is fair, you settle the old people in the family, go to Dulonggang to work, earn money, and then come back to build a new house, or you can choose to settle in Dulonggang. And after doing it for a long time, I will have several benefits in Dulonggang...... And so on and so forth.

The resentment of the residents will only completely fall to the government when they are really desperate and no one is willing to take care of them. After the destruction of the houses of the people in these villages, the relief team of Dulonggang followed, and at the same time caused the hostility of the people, and the blood feud against the people in Liangshan is estimated to be scattered for more than ten years.

There are still not many people in a dozen villages, but in a sense, this model is almost similar to the later European industrial revolution of capital accumulation, where farmers lost their land and joined industry. Dulonggang went all the way to the bottom, and at the same time threw back all the resentment that Song Jiang and the others thought it would arouse. When a few days later, the people of Liangshan, who were full of interest all the way to burn and loot, sent people out to check the situation of the resentment for the first time, and the news of the feedback really made Wu Yong and Zhu Wu stunned.

That night, after the Night Raven Ridge explained the matter, Ning Yi went to the many dealers who came over this time, chatted with them, and cheered them up: "I said it a long time ago!" After this battle, you are the most capable team of the Shandong generation! Who's going to go head-to-head with me! Come onβ€”"

In fact, in the past few days, Luan Tingyu, Zhu Biao and others have also been cultivating the morale of these people, the great victory of Dulonggang, the subsequent defeat of Liangshan, coupled with the hatred in their hearts, have indeed made the combat power of more than 2,000 people reach a fairly high level. After a while of playing and laughing this night, when Ning Yi was able to calm down again, it was already late at night, from the fifth day of the sixth month...... Even earlier, the tension that had been building up a little bit subsided.

For more than a month, I was in a high-pressure state, first constantly scrutinizing and calculating, and then almost every clue had to be held in my hands, and I didn't have much time to sleep every day. This is not the craziest state of work he has ever had, he still maintains a strong sense of hunger and thirst mentally, the enemy is not completely cornered, he will never want to stop, everything in the entire spiritual realm is still in a state of aggression, aggression, aggression, but physically, after all, there will still be some fatigue.

At this point, the strategic arrangement is finally in place, and then you may only need to check and fill in the gaps, and the use of spies in the middle of the other party is also a matter of tactics, more of an improvisation, and the brain power will not be tense to the previous state. Ning Yi blew the wind outside the tent, in fact, this work is not really a large-scale battle level, but at the moment, he has not yet established a sufficiently professional operation group, everything needs to be done by himself, so it can only be like this.

"I really admire what you're doing these days." Wang Shanyue, who had come from not far away, smiled at him, "I originally thought that after Song Jiang and the others escaped, you would use even more exaggerated tricks, but seeing this now, it really looks like ...... A net is the same. ”

"Plots are all used by storytellers to deceive people, to comfort those who want to get something for nothing, and who are unwilling to work hard." Ning Yi twisted his neck and looked at the camp in the night, "Everything in the world is according to plan, if you want to relieve the siege of Dulonggang, you can defeat the people of Liangshan, how to defeat them, let them weaken internally, and always have to fight externally." How to weaken internally, let them split, and beat their morale, the methods can be ever-changing, and the truth is actually very simple, just do it step by step. ”

"It's the same now, I only let them feel three points, first, the government will never dare to accept them, second, everyone shouts and beats them, we will definitely bite them to death, and third, what they do is useless. The rest is on the battlefield. Ning Yi shook his head, "I never accept conspiracy, nothing is a conspiracy, it's just a means to do things well." If you can really do what you think of step by step, any plan is a clever plan, and if you don't do things well, it's useless to have a clever plan. ”

Wang Shanyue is now a member of his team, Ning Yi said this, and smiled: "Of course, everyone has a different way of looking at things, if you treat it as a conspiracy, it doesn't hurt to look at it like this." ”

"I'm just a little curious what you think of Dulonggang."

After all, Wang Shanyue is a person in the official mansion, and he is worried about the people in Dulonggang after all, Ning Yi glanced at him, thought about it for a while, and considered the sentence.

"I'm a businessman, and after revenge, I'm in business after all. There are too many places that the government in Shandong can't control, and Liangshan has been removed, no matter whether it is killed clean this time, the power will be reshuffled. It's hard to get along, and I hope they can become another Zengtou City. Ning Yi looked at Wang Shanyue, "We have a relationship, and business will be very good." I know that the prince of Ludao used Confucianism to govern the family, but you also said that the Wang family may not be proud in the capital now, your Wang family is famous and related, and there is a family of women and children to raise and protect, everyone cooperates well, do you want to join the shares? ”

"I promise not to do anything too much...... Guaranteed to make money. Think about it? ”

Ning Yi smiled and raised his hand, the temptation in his tone was like a demon who knew people's hearts. Wang Shanyue originally came to say this, because she was a little worried about the three things in this place, and didn't want Dulonggang to become another Liangshan, but at this time, her eyes suddenly became confused. In fact, although his brain is very useful, he has received a very formal Confucian education since he was a child, and although he was forced to eat people to increase his deterrence, in many places in his heart, he insisted on the Confucian righteous path.

But after the Wang family arrived in the capital, sticking to the right path did not necessarily make the family prosperous. Even if a woman recruited a few men to support the door, if you really want to talk about it, in addition to the favor and fame that Wang Qisong saved at the beginning, the Wang family may not really be doing well. Wang Shanyue, as the only man in the family, was forced to this extent because of his origin.

"W-What......"

"Heh, it's a business business after all, let's talk about it later. Don't worry, I will never insult your family, the Su family on my side is not famous, there is a name of the Wang family, out of Shandong, it is easier to talk on the official face, otherwise I have to ask Qin Lao to help me introduce other people. Ning Yi laughed, and then looked into the distance, his eyes had already cooled, "However, these are things for the future, let's kill those people first." ”

He paused, patted Wang Shanyue on the shoulder, turned around and walked away. Wang Shanyue stood there with a frown, looking at the direction in which Ning Yi left, and was entangled for a while.

But...... I'm tempted to say it now......

He was there for a moment, and finally laughed and patted his forehead, feeling like he had been tricked, as if he had been instigated. However, in his heart, he did have the mood to make his family live better, and it had been boiling hot, and it was gradually heating up at this time......

There were signs that the routine was starting to mess up, and there was a power outage in the afternoon...... Still, I'll try to adjust ^_^

There is no break! (To be continued......)
