Su Jin was a little annoyed, originally he didn't believe that the Western Xia army was so bold that they could go deep into the hinterland to rob the food and salary of the officers and soldiers. robbery, because in Su Jin's opinion, it is already very difficult to bypass the border sentry, let alone easily intercept the team transporting food and wages.

When to transport grain, how many people to escort, these things are not fixed, and the imperial court does not have a specific date arrangement, but only according to the needs of the front line, and these Western Xia troops can accurately know this information, it is really difficult to teach Su Jin to figure it out, so the reason why he dared to take the risk of marching from the official road where there have been repeated accidents has to be said to have a disbelieving attitude.

But now Su Jin understands that the Xixia people have already bought a large number of local bandits and civilians on the Yongxing Army and Qin Feng as eyeliners to form a news network; Especially the large and small bandit tribes, they are generally choked on the choke point, and they are the first to know when the wind blows, so they play a key role in it.

Now that he finally has a big deal, he thinks that the impossible is going to happen to him, fortunately, he took Xia Siling to the valley to take a mandarin duck bath on a whim, otherwise he will be kept in the dark, maybe in a few days, in front of him is the black pressure of the Western Xia cavalry, and he doesn't know how he died.

In order to avoid panic, Su Jin didn't dare to release the news, but quietly found Wang Lang, Wang Dynasty Mahan and others hid in the tent to discuss the matter, Su Jin said what he knew by mistake, Wang Lang changed color at that time, and smacked his lips again and again: "Hey...... Lord Su, if you don't listen to the advice of your subordinates, this time it's a big trouble; It's over, it's over, what's going on? ”

Ma Han suddenly exploded, and shouted at Wang Lang with two big black hole nostrils: "Are you a rat?" It's just a little bit of wind and grass and I'm scared to pee my pants, my father-in-law has already made it clear to you, I want you to lead the team down the road, and I didn't ask you to go along. ”

Wang Lang said angrily: "If it weren't for Lord Sansi who ordered him to go all the way with Lord Su, how could this official have taken the risk of going all the way from here?" ”

Ma Han was still about to scold again, Su Jin waved his hand and said: "Calm down, the sky can't fall, there is nothing wrong with the king's cautious actions, it turns out that I don't believe that the western thieves will really go deep into my Great Song Dynasty to loot, it's mine, here's an apology to the king." ”

Seeing Su Jin's attitude, Wang Lang couldn't say anything, so he shut up angrily.

Su Jin said: "But things are not out of control, we heard the news before the enemy attack, this is God bless us; At least we have the upper hand for now, so there's nothing to be afraid of. ”

Wang Lang said: "Dare to ask Master Su what is the best way to deal with it?" ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "At present, there are two countermeasures, the first one is absolutely complete, and the second one is to take risks, but the rewards must be great, which one does the king want to hear?" ”

Wang Lang said: "Master Su is not going to sell Guanzi, the lower officials are worried, but they are not in the mood to guess the dumb riddle." ”

Su Jin said: "Okay, then I won't sell Guanzi, the first way is to pat our butts and return the same way immediately, return to Jingxi Road and divert the road to the next road to travel from a safe road, so that it can be said that there is no risk, no matter how bold the West Thief is, he only dares to run rampant on the two roads on the border, give him 10,000 guts, and they will not dare to catch up for this batch of food." ”

Wang Langxi said: "This method is good, let's immediately order a U-turn and let the thieves work in vain." ”

Mahan wrinkled and shouted: "I said it wrong, it turns out that you are not a rat, you are a king, and when you encounter danger, you shrink your head and run." ”

Wang Lang said angrily: "This plan was said by Master Su, and there is nothing wrong with this method, we have not lost anything, and we will do the errand properly, isn't it good?" ”

Wang Chao said coldly: "I didn't lose anything, I just lost some backbone, I'm afraid you don't know my son-in-law's temper, he is just talking about this method, don't think he will do this in this life." ”

Wang Lang looked at Su Jin and said, "Master Su, why do you see that these subordinates of yours don't know the current affairs one by one?" It is clear that the future is difficult and dangerous, but one by one they are like a donkey. ”

Su Jin smiled and said: "The king is a little calm, the method I said is for your king to use, you immediately take the food armor and weapons team and hurry back, as for my thoughts, my brothers have already made it very clear, I don't want to be scolded by my own brothers as a turtle with a shrunken head." ”

Wang Lang was stunned and said, "This ...... How does this work? Lord Sanji strictly ordered ......"

Su Jin waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll explain it to you, Lord Sansi, you don't need to worry." ”

Wang Lang hesitated, and finally couldn't make a decision, Su Jin no longer asked him, and looked around at everyone: "The second way is a risky strategy, but I believe that the reward will be rich; The western thief is like a no-man's land in my Great Song Dynasty, and his whereabouts are about to be known to me, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we must use this opportunity to plan and crack down on their arrogance, otherwise how can there be peace? ”

Wang Chao got up and arched his hand and said, "Master Gongzi commands, the humble rank is waiting for your words." ”

Wang Lang hurriedly said: "Master Su, how can we fight with such a small number of troops?" ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "Originally, there was a third good way, I wanted to send a letter to Yanzhou and Qingzhou as soon as possible, Lord Fan has already taken over the resignation of Pang Ji, and led the soldiers and horses of Yanzhou and Qingzhou, knowing that the enemy is coming, how can Lord Fan sit idly by?" We will definitely mobilize troops and horses to encircle it, and then we can hurry with peace of mind. ”

Wang Lang patted his thigh and said, "This is the best of both worlds, why not?" ”

Su Jin said: "The enemy who is rushing must be the elite cavalry of the Western Thieves, although the number will not be very large, but if it is learned that Lord Fan led the troops to intercept it, they will not be able to beat it, but it will be no difficulty to retreat with all their bodies; Isn't there nothing you can do with them? And how to deter? Hit the ghost idea on my Su Jin's head, how can I let them be free, I want them to understand a truth, even if it moves my Su Jin's crooked brain, I will let them not eat and walk around. ”

Wang Lang looked at Su Jinying's imposing appearance, and was speechless in a daze.

Su Jin said: "Lord Wang made a quick decision, with you or not, the deployment will be very different, don't affect the big thing." ”

Wang Lang hesitated again and again, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "But with the dispatch of Master Su, I followed Lord Su to do it." ”

Su Jin laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Lord Wang, this is the wisest decision you have made in this life, a great credit is about to fall on you, you see, I am afraid that your position as the main person will be moved." ”

Wang Lang said in his heart: "I don't want to move low, I hope I don't move low, I just hope I don't give my life." I don't dare to ask for the wisest decision in my life, but I just ask for the stupidest decision, then thank God. ”

Su Jin gave an order softly: "Zhao Hu, the head of the horse army, listened to the order, and took my handwritten letter with more than 20 horsemen to Yanzhou to deliver the letter to Yanzhou as a team pretending to search ahead, Yanzhou is about two hundred miles away, and it can be reached in two days as soon as the horse is whipped. ”

Zhao Hu was full of spirit and promised to do so; Su Jin assigned tasks to everyone, and everyone took the order.

That night, three black shadows sneakily lay on the hillside outside the camp and peeped into the camp, but when they saw the escorted officers and soldiers leaning on the bonfire one by one, they fell asleep, and the whole camp did not even have a vigil patrol; What's more, there was a faint sound of punching and guessing orders in the camp tent, and it was simply a rabble.

A handful of hairy bosses shook their heads, and the three of them boldly touched the vicinity of the camp, and by the cover of the bonfire, the number of vehicles, the number of escorted sergeants, and the escorted materials were roughly counted, and suddenly their hearts were settled, as many as more than 400 vehicles of materials, there were only more than 1,000 people escorting, and looking at the exhausted appearance of these soldiers, they didn't have any energy at all, and they didn't wear all their armor, it seemed that they were not forbidden troops, but ordinary van soldiers.

The only thing to worry about is that there are hundreds of horse teams, and it seems that they are the people of the Forbidden Army's Ma Military Division, but there is no need to worry about such a horse army at all.

The three of them counted clearly, did not dare to stay for a long time, quietly retreated, kept the situation firmly in mind, turned around and led three horses out of nowhere, and went north from the official road overnight.
