"The so-called baiters, luring them with profit, are all bait. Those who bait soldiers must not take them, and if they take them, they will be defeated. ”

This is the way of bait warfare that Yang Fu said at the beginning, and the first step in capturing Xinping County is to bait those thieves, lure them out of the turtle shell in Xinping County, and kill them in one fell swoop!

And having already learned about the lack of food for the thieves in Xinping County, they naturally know what bait to choose: grain and grass!

"General, general, look!" The scout shouted on the city wall, wishing that he had not deafed the candidate's ear: "That's the Ma family's grain brigade!" ”

The candidate immediately looked over, and sure enough, he saw a baggage team entering the Ma Chaoda battalion, and if you looked closely, you could see that those baggage soldiers were moving the grain and grass from the warehouse next to the Chinese army's tent. One of the unfortunate fellows accidentally scattered the sack with corn all over the floor, in exchange for the quartermaster's whip.

"General, let's go and rob this baggage. The brothers in the city are about to gnaw on the bark of the tree. "The incompetence of the candidates makes those rogues below not have much sense of superiority at all, and they can say whatever comes to mind.

"Fart! Those baggage has been transported to Ma Chao's battalion, and you let me lead my troops to fight to the death with Xiliang Tiecai? The candidate was so angry that he kicked the scout again: "Fight with those butchers? You kid has a long life, and I 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 he heard that the candidates should not rob the grain, he was so angry that he shouted: "What kind of bullshit general are you?" I used to say that you can let us eat and drink spicy food, but now it's good, we are surrounded in this broken city, and we haven't even eaten half a grain of rice. It's better to go out and fight, maybe you can get a full meal! ”

"You kid wants to rebel, don't you?" The candidate stared at him, and naturally he was a little powerful. But when he saw that most of the thieves around him also looked like the scout, and they all wanted to go down to grab food, he knew that he had committed public anger, and couldn't help but say in a lower tone: "Xiliang Iron Cavalry is invincible all over the world, especially that Ma Chao, who has already won the title of 'Tianwei God General' among the Qiang people, and he is even more murderous. Just rely on our current wooden guns and iron rods to fight with others, can we fight? Perhaps, Ma Chao got this idea, let us automatically send it into the tiger's mouth! ”

"So what do we do? Starve to death like this? "The scout is in a hurry, he himself is a thief, his nature is to pluck the feathers of geese, and at this time he is so hungry that his chest is close to his belly, how can he still have the reason to listen to the candidate's words?

"If I think about it again, this matter is very strange and needs to be considered in the long run." The candidate had no choice but to be so perfunctory.

"By the time you think of a way, we'll starve to death!" The scout was stubborn, and some of them ignored it, and threw it on the wall.

"Fuck off!" The candidate had already held a fire in his heart, and at this time, he was provoked by this scout, picked up the big knife in his hand, and slashed towards the scout.

The scout didn't expect that the candidate who usually didn't use the knife against his subordinates would kill him, and he had no room to resist at all, so he was cut off by the big knife. The skull rolled down the wall, leaving only the blood everywhere shocking.

"Lao Tzu took you to fight in the east and west, killing countless people, and by the way, you wolf cubs also enjoyed a lot of blessings. If it weren't for me, you would have died under those rebels, and now you actually treat Lao Tzu as your slave and shout and drink?! After the candidate killed this scout, he still didn't understand his hatred, and looked around, as if he wanted to find another unlucky ghost to vent his anger: "Let me tell you, today's grain and grass can't be robbed, if any of you have the courage to rob the grain and grass, don't go back to this Xinping County from now on!" ”

After that, the candidate's anger did not subside, and he carried the bloody big knife and walked off the city wall: there are still little maids in the house who have not yet opened bao'er, and they are just used to extinguish the fire at this time......

Don't think that the candidates don't have anything to eat like these big-headed soldiers, this guy has already collected the food in the city for his own allocation and distribution. Those big-headed soldiers are so hungry that they don't have the strength, but the candidates still have the energy to vent their desires!

"This dog thing, we eat with a mouth full of oil, but we don't even have a porridge!" The soldiers on the city wall said hatefully when they saw the candidates leaving.

"It's just, without us, he's a fucking fart! You dare to kill us at this time! Another soldier spat on the candidate's back and said fiercely.

"Don't say more, I think the leader is right, you said for no reason, we saw Ma Chao's grain transportation team?" A veteran hurriedly dissuaded, lest the recruits rebel.

"Lao Ding, who are you fooling? These recruits don't know what they are, you don't know yet? After hearing this, another veteran sarcastically said: "Ma Chao's subordinates are all cavalry first, and the heavy grain and grass will arrive half a day later, isn't this normal?" And it seems that in the past two days, the team transporting grain and grass will not stop. The candidate for Dog Day is purely a shrunken turtle! ”

The veteran was choked and had nothing to say, and a little dissatisfaction with the candidate rose in his heart. After that, everyone made a lot of noise and yelled, all of them spoke ill of the candidates.

And in the Ma Chaoda camp, after everyone saw the head picked up by their subordinates, they couldn't help but have a sly smile floating on the corners of their mouths: It's just the first time you lure, and you've already started infighting? It seems that this group of thieves is not only short of food, but also quite unstable......

"Summons, go to the second step at once." After Ma Chao ordered his subordinates to take away the head of the vice, he immediately ordered.

"Yes!" Everyone agreed and went to prepare. There was only one Fa Zheng left, and it seemed that there was no work to do, so he had to smile at Ma Chao embarrassedly and retreated.

And Ma Chao looked at Fa Zheng's back, and couldn't help muttering: "Won't you be a little too ruthless?" This guy is just a fifteen-year-old boy, and he is in a rebellious period, if he can't withstand this cold violence, wouldn't it be a chicken and a flying egg? ”

After thinking about it, Ma Chao decided to firmly implement the policy of cold violence: extraordinary people do extraordinary things, and if Fa Zheng can't even endure this setback, then there will be no achievements in the future.

In the blink of an eye, the moon and stars are scarce, and Ma Chao's first night in Xinping County has quietly come.

With the light of the stars, the thieves on the city wall were so hungry that they couldn't sleep. They just lay lazily together, and there was not a word on their lips to say, so that they could survive the night.

"Lao Ding, you said that if we go out to rob grain, will we have a chance of winning?" A new thief asked, "Weak."

"Don't think about it, if you rob the grain halfway, maybe it will be done, if you say that you go to the Ma Chao camp to rob the grain, it will be purely death!" Lao Ding didn't bother to deal with the thief, but just told the truth briefly.

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

"Well, there are sounds, but there are not many people...... Lao Ding also put his ear to the city wall at the same time, but then he found that there was no need for that: "Someone is climbing the city wall...... But it's not like they're here to open the gates. ”

Lao Ding looked at the hook that was placed on the battlements, and held the knife in his hand, thinking whether he should wait for the man to climb halfway up, cut the rope, and let the boy fly for a while......

"Don't cut, catch it alive, this kid is the one who was beaten during the day for transporting grain!" The veteran hurriedly stopped Lao Ding and continued: "Maybe he's here to deliver food to us!" ”

"You can recognize this, too?"

When the man came up, he was immediately crushed by four or five thieves. Lao Ding took a look, and sure enough, it was the kid who was beaten during the day.

"Say, what are you doing in Tan Binh County?! Is it to steal the city gates? Lao Ding put the knife on the kid's neck and said fiercely.

"Adults spare their lives, spare their lives, the villain was originally a person from Xinping County, a few days ago he attacked Fufeng County with Li Kancheng Yin's two fools, and he became a prisoner, and he just escaped today, and he wants to go home to see his mother!"

"What's your name?" Lao Ding saw that the man was flustered, and he didn't look like a Xiliang iron horse, so he asked again.

"Villain Xiao Tian."
