Chapter 274 Those who look down on you have already seen Hades!
"The grain-carrying boat follows the Dalang River from Hulaoguan all the way to the capital. The distance is more than 8 miles! However, if the King of Jiangnan wants to rob the boat and grab the grain, the most suitable location is near Gongxu Mountain."
"Because here, there is a river that leads directly to the south of the Yangtze River. Even if you take the land road, it is relatively smooth along the way, which is convenient for transporting food! At the same time, it is far away from the cities in the front and rear, and it is difficult for the court to rescue!"
"This distance is about 2 miles."
The Empress nodded: "Aiqing continues to talk!"
"Gongxu Mountain is the best place to grab food! But if you want to grab food, you must prepare enough manpower! First, you need to transport food, and secondly, you must leave enough manpower to deal with the court!"
Lin Beifan raised 5 fingers: "Wei Chen estimates that this will require about 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers and horses!"
"To sum up, if the King of Jiangnan wants to grab food, it is very likely that 50,000 to 60,000 troops will be dispatched to attack Gongxu Mountain, so as long as we guard this place, we can basically sit back and relax!"
"So, Wei Chen's plan is like this!"
Lin Beifan smiled: "In the name of protecting food, we can set up checkpoints 1 mile outside Gongxu Mountain, and guard them with heavy troops. No one is allowed to approach, and all pedestrians have to detour! However, we can secretly crack open. One way, as long as you bribe the soldiers, you can sneak them in!"
"Under such circumstances, if the King of Jiangnan wants to grab food, he must not send troops over with great fanfare, otherwise it will be exposed in advance, and the loss will not be worth the loss! Therefore, the other party is most likely to pretend to be a passerby and enter Gongxu Mountain in pieces!"
"But to enter Gongxu Mountain, you have to pay money! Ordinary people who are reluctant to pay for money would rather walk a little more than pay money! So once he pays money, it proves that the common people are most likely to be soldiers of the King of Jiangnan. If they are fake, we can break them one by one, catch them all, and let the King of Jiangnan lose his troops!"
The queen's eyes lit up: "Wonderful!"
"But what if the people from the King of Jiangnan don't come?" a minister asked.
"It's fine if you don't come, but if you come, you will definitely become a turtle in a urn!" Lin Beifan said loudly.
"Everyone has a lover, how is this plan?" The Empress asked Baiguan.
The officials looked at each other in dismay, and said in unison, "The ministers have no opinion!"
"Just do it!" The Empress clapped.
Therefore, a heavy army was dispatched, with Gongxu Mountain as the core and a mile outside, and many barriers were set up, and no one was allowed to approach.
At this time, a group of court officers and soldiers were dispersing the people on the Gongxu Mountain Road.
"This place is sealed, you are not allowed to approach!"
"Why was it blocked?" The people were puzzled.
The officers and soldiers said loudly: "Because the imperial court's grain ship is going to pass through here! For the sake of safety, we have temporarily closed this section of the road and the river, and no one is allowed to approach!"
"But, we're going to the capital!"
"You take a detour, and you'll be there in two or three days!"
"My God, why is this.'?"
...
The people complained one after another.
This situation was quickly detected by the spies of King Jiangnan.
He hurriedly ran back to report: "My lord, the big thing is bad!"
The King of Jiangnan came out: "Why is there such a panic, tell this king in detail!"
The spy reported urgently: "My lord is like this, in order to escort the grain ship, the court blocked all roads in Gongxu Mountain..."
After the king of Jiangnan heard this, his face became gloomy: "The court's move is clearly aimed at us!"
Wang Fugui nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, my lord! They knew that we were short of food, and they were afraid of our idea of food, so they heavily guarded Gongxu Mountain to guard against us!"
The king of Jiangnan was unwilling: "Did you just give up like this? Rich, please think of a way for this king!"
Wang Fugui was also very anxious: "Wait, my lord, let me think about it!"
A day later, Wang Fugui came back with a happy face: "My lord, my subordinates have come up with a solution!"
The King of Jiangnan urged: "Speak quickly!"
"My lord, it's like this!"
Wang Fugui cupped his hands and said, "My subordinates let people pretend to be ordinary people to test the court soldiers and horses, but guess what? They are all very greedy for money. As long as they give three or four taels of silver, the court soldiers will secretly let them go!"
King Jiangnan's eyes lit up: "Is there still such a thing?"
Wang Fugui smiled and said, "My lord, the imperial court is greedy from top to bottom, big officials are big, small officials are small, and sometimes small officials are huge, you don't know!"
The King of Jiangnan nodded: "That's true!"
"So, the subordinate's method is like this!" Wang Fugui laughed in a low voice: "We can let our soldiers and horses pretend to be ordinary people, bribe the soldiers of the imperial court, and enter Gongxu Mountain in pieces to take the opportunity to grab food! "
"They would never have imagined that when the guards are so strict, there are still people who go to grab their food, and they will definitely relax, which will greatly benefit me!"
Jiangnan Wang nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, you are very right!"
"In addition, we will send tens of thousands of soldiers to respond outside. Once we succeed, we will definitely be able to take the court by surprise, and at the same time, we will be able to snatch the food back!"
The King of Jiangnan was overjoyed and said, "Good good!"
"My lord, we can also contact the King of Jibei and act together according to this method! In this way, the court will inevitably take care of one thing and lose the other, and our odds of winning will be greatly improved!"
Jiangnan Wang clapped his hands again and again: "You're right, just do it like this!"
So, he made his elite soldiers and horses dress up as passers-by and ordinary people who were going to pass through Gongxu Mountain.
"Master, I'm going to the capital to make a living!"
"This place is blocked, you are not allowed to approach it, you can detour there!"
"Detour? The detour is too far. I have to walk for three or four days. Don't think that I am strong, but I am actually very weak! Lord, please do your best, please!"
"I'm a principled person, so there's no need to talk about it!"
"Master..."
The Jiangnan soldiers disguised as ordinary people secretly took out a tael of silver and stuffed it into the hands of the court soldiers.
The court soldier put the money in his pocket as if nothing had happened.
At this time, several other court soldiers saw it and secretly coughed a few times.
The Jiangnan soldiers were very knowledgeable, and everyone tucked in a tael of silver, which was quickly accepted by them.
"It seems that you don't have any problem, then you can go in! But I told you not to run around, especially not to approach the river, or something happens, don't blame this officer for not reminding you!"
"Don't worry, gentlemen, we are all ordinary people and know what to do!"
The court soldiers opened the gate: "Go in!"
"Thank you! Thank you gentlemen!"
The Jiangnan soldier who was successful in bribing, walked in with great gratitude.
However, not long after I walked in, I encountered a road of court soldiers, who looked even more elite.
"Don't move! Get down and put your hands up!"
"Masters, you have misunderstood. I am just an ordinary person. I only came in after giving me money!"
"It's you who give money, take it away from me!"
So, the fake people couldn't resist, so they were taken away.
However, people outside did not know, and the King of Jiangnan even more did not know, and sent people to throw themselves into the net.
In just three or four days, the imperial court captured 50,000 Jiangnan soldiers.
On this day, the King of Jiangnan was a little excited.
Because the grain ship finally slowly entered the Gongxu Mountains, the grain grab was about to begin. As long as he grabs this batch of grain, his food shortage problem will be solved, at least until the harvest season this autumn.
Once the food problem is solved, he can continue to seek the throne again.
This matter is of great importance, and the kings of Jiangnan have come in person.
Waiting left and right, very anxious: "¨々Why hasn't it started yet? Did something happen?"
"Your Highness, this is not urgent!" Wang Fugui smiled and said, "The court's grain ship has just entered Gongxu Mountain. It will take at least two days and one night for him to leave Gongxu Mountain. We can wait slowly!"
"Furthermore, it is General Zhao Gong who is in charge of the battle! General Zhao has always been prudent. He should choose to take action at night when the troops are tired and the defense is lax.
"As long as we succeed, General Zhao will definitely send a signal to remind us, so we can act! We should cooperate with each other, catch the court by surprise, and grab the food!"
The King of Jiangnan clapped his hands and said, "Okay! This king will wait until the evening for your good news!"
"Yes, my lord!" Wang Fugui handed over.
The day passed quickly, and night finally came.
The weather tonight is good, the moon is bright and the stars are thin, and there is a light breeze blowing, which is very comfortable.
After the king of Jiangnan finished his dinner, he became anxious again: "Why hasn't General Zhao sent a signal yet, hasn't he succeeded yet?"
"My lord, don't worry!" Wang Fugui smiled and said, "Now that everyone has just finished dinner, they are in good spirits, and it's not a good time to make a move! In the second half of the night, General Zhao should make a move!"
"Okay, this king is waiting for him for two hours!" King Jiangnan gritted his teeth and found a clean place to take a nap.
Two hours passed quickly.
The King of Jiangnan woke up, looked at the time, and asked left and right: "Why is there no signal?"
Wang Fugui was still very calm: "My lord, everyone is falling asleep now. I think General Zhao should be ready to act. Let's give him a little more time!"
The king of Jiangnan said loudly: "Okay! This king will give him another hour, and if there is a situation, he will immediately wake up the king's garden!"
An hour passed quickly.
No one called, Jiangnan King woke up himself, and said in a daze: "Is it all right? It will be dawn if we go further!"
Wang Fugui was also a little panicked, but he pretended to be calm: "My lord, although it's not good yet, we have to trust General Zhao, he will definitely not disappoint us!"
The King of Jiangnan said worriedly: "There has been no news for so long, is there something wrong? Let's just go in!"
"My lord, this matter is absolutely inappropriate. It will alarm the court, and maybe it will disrupt General Zhao's actions! If we wait patiently, maybe it will be soon!"
"Okay, this king wait a minute!"
Just like that, the night passed quickly, and the sky was bright.
