Chapter 520: Countermeasures

81_81247 The peacemaker over there came out, and the peacemaker Zhang Zheng here also naturally came out of the round, and said: "Yes, Sima, if the purpose of the white wave thieves is really to enter the state, then whether they can trap them in Pingyang is the key to the key, so the key to this victory and defeat is that Pingyang is not breached, so this matter must be cautious, don't be impulsive, I think it's better to sit down with the county gentleman to discuss it." ”

The county lieutenant of Pingyang County was in disbelief when he heard Zhang Zheng's words, and exclaimed, "Just now you said that the white wave thieves were going to enter the state, is this really true?" ”

Liu Lan immediately became nervous when he saw their ugly expressions in an instant, and asked at the same time as he returned, "What kind of wind did you two hear?" ”

"Recently, the Huns have been making a lot of trouble."

 ⊕$,∧anshu→ba.; "Huns? I haven't heard of it. ”

"It's within the Huns, although I don't know if the white wave thieves are involved in this matter, but at this time, if they really want to enter the state, it must be related to the Huns, at this time Pingyang is even more important, but Pingyang's money and grain are not sufficient, if it is transferred from Jiangyi or even Wenxi, then once the white wave thieves intercept us, we will completely lose the grain and grass support from Hedong." The county lieutenant said in a deep voice: "It seems that we have to hurry up and urge the Hexi county guard to ask him to transfer the county soldiers and grain." ”

"To defend Pingyang, it's hard to say it's not difficult to say, it's not difficult or difficult, originally I got the news at the beginning that the Baibo thieves have not come out of the Baibo Valley, if that's the case, the best way is undoubtedly to trap them in the Baibo Valley, but now they are in Pingyang, not to mention my cavalry, even if Hexi sends the county soldiers to help, they don't want to defend Pingyang with the low city wall of Pingyang." Liu Lan said, and then stared at the county gentleman. "So I had a second thought, how to get them to withdraw before they break through Pingyang. Then the only way to save Zhao is to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and my account is full of elite cavalry. Going straight to Baibo Valley is undoubtedly the best choice, but we don't have enough food and grass, so I will ask the county magistrate if he can provide a few days of rations, after all, this is related to the life and death of my old brothers. ”

"I see." Although I am not sure whether Liu Lan's statement is true or false, at this time, the county monarch has no other way but to ask: "I raised ten days of rations for Captain Liu, this is already my limit, I don't know how?" ”

"Ten days is too little, and I need at least twenty days' rations. This will give me plenty of time to lure the White Wave Thieves back to the White Wave Valley, but the same thing is very risky, and if the White Wave Thieves attack Pingyang regardless of the White Wave Valley, then we will both be in great trouble. Liu Lan said sadly, his plan is a bit of a gambling nature, if the bet is right, then the white wave thief will be solved, if the bet is wrong, the entire Hexi, the entire Hedong and even the state will be doomed. Unless the imperial court can send an army to turn the tide at this time, otherwise, Liu Lan doesn't dare to think about it, he hopes that he is worried about the sky. But once it is true, let this gang of bandits and the Huns mix together, the consequences will only be worse.

The county lieutenant asked suspiciously, "Why did Captain Liu say this?"

"If the White Wave Thief doesn't care about the White Wave Valley. Single-mindedly attacking Binh Duong, after capturing Binh Duong. The White Wave Thief is likely to make two choices, one is to return to the division to rescue the White Wave Valley. Second, it is to continue to advance to the state, if it is the former, we can only break through and return to Jiangyi, if it is the latter, attack Pingyang, the white wave thieves who have been replenished are bound to enter the state in one go, once they are allowed to collude with the Huns, not only the state, but also the east and west of the river and even the Guannei may be affected, and this is the worst result, and it is also the result I least want to see. ”

After listening to Liu Lan's words, the two of them completely understood, now they are waiting to defend the city, and it may be useless to take the initiative to attack, but what is there to do to drag down the white wave thief now? Not to mention waiting for an opportunity to annihilate them: "If there is a way, let them shift their attention to the east of the river or even the west of the river, it would be the best." The county commander sighed and looked at Liu Lan, at this time, the two of them had a feeling of meeting each other with a smile and a grudge, but the enmity was gone, but the sorrow was even stronger: "I have to think of a way, how can I make them jealous of Pingyang?" ”

Guan Yu frowned, stroked his long beard and pondered for a long time, and said slowly, "The best way to make these white wave thieves jealous is to make them jealous, thinking that they will not attack Pingyang lightly, so the strategy of using suspicious soldiers is undoubtedly the best choice, but how can they believe that there are many reinforcements coming from Pingyang?" ”

Guan Yu's reminder undoubtedly gave Liu Lan a more open space, and immediately had a new idea, just when he was happy to say that there was a way, the county lieutenant who didn't want to be on the side also said at the same time I have an idea, the two looked at each other and smiled, of course, they didn't write the idea in the palm of their hands to see if it was the same as the hero's vision, Liu Lanqian let him say, he said that if it was a suspicious strategy, then it would be best to let out the wind to let the white wave thief know that Pingyang was coming to help, and Liu Lan added a little under his suggestion, Let his 3,000 cavalry enter the city from the east and then go out of the city from the west, making the illusion that the army is coming in a steady stream, especially on the top of the Pingyang City Tower, of course, the army that comes to help must not say too much, as long as it reaches a number that is enough to make the Baibo thieves jealous, otherwise if it is too much, the defenders of Pingyang, who have an overwhelming advantage, do not take the initiative to attack and exterminate the rebels, which is unjustifiable anyway, so this lie will be self-defeating.

The discussion was established, first to be a suspicious soldier to confuse the white wave thief, and then Liu Lan brought enough ten-day rations, replaced with the latest weapons in the Pingyang Treasury, and went around to the Baibo Valley, and in Pingyang City, the dark clouds of the white wave thieves had already been broken by the exciting news of the arrival of tens of thousands of reinforcements, and tens of thousands of people were recruited to make giant bed crossbows, stones and even rolling wood day and night, and the morale of the people of Pingyang County at this moment was unprecedentedly high.

Of course, compared to the optimistic attitude of the people, the county commander can be worried, every moment as long as the whim to recruit the county lieutenant to ask if there is any news of the appearance of the white wave thief, and then let him hurry up to train the county soldiers, no matter what, he always feels that the suspicious plan can only be concealed for a while, once the white wave thief finds out, he will definitely attack, and whether he can hold Pingyang at that time depends on them, or whether he can hold on to Pingyang for a few days, it is all up to them.

The county magistrate will summon the county lieutenant every few hours to say such a statement, and he is tired of hearing it, but he knows that the current county magistrate's nerves are in the most tense period, lest the details of the business trip cuò or something that is not well considered, and he is not at ease when he does not see the county lieutenant, or he will wake up because he dreams of the white wave thief attacking the city, he feels that this is a sign given to him by God, it is a bad omen, but even if he is afraid, he can't ignore the people and run away, fortunately, the white wave thief has not moved since Liu Lan has been gone for a day, However, most of the preparatory work in the prefecture has been completed, which makes the prefectural order finally feel at ease and be able to sleep soundly. (To be continued......).
