After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 195 Official Solicitation

  The tiankeng where Wenxiantang is located is in the shape of a pig’s waist. The mouth of the pit is surrounded by green trees, and the clear water at the bottom of the pit flows quietly.

  This is the podium, and the unique terrain opens up the speaker's surround sound mode.

  The rock wall of the tiankeng is artificially hewn with layers of stone paths, which are not only the seats for the audience, but also the passage for entering and exiting.

  Simple, but full of interest.

  The two of He Lingchuan came late, and the auditorium was almost full. Looking at it from their point of view, the passages on the upper and lower sides of the circular mountain wall are crowded with people, which is very spectacular.

  From eleven or twelve-year-old boys to fifty or sixty-year-old men, they all look thirsty for knowledge.

   "So many people!" If one is not careful or crowded, he will fall into the deep pool at the bottom of the pit.

Hu Min said to He Lingchuan in a low voice: "What is this? You have never seen the Red General open the hall. It is full of people. There are two people crowded in one seat on the mountain wall. The pond is full of boats!"

  He Lingchuan's eyes lit up: "The Red General will also start classes?"

   "No time, it depends on luck." Hu Min regretted, "The last time the Red General started a class, I happened to be out on duty, so I missed it."

  He Lingchuan suddenly remembered something:

   "By the way, are there any famous masters who have explained the principles of Yao Gua deduction?" If so, he can ask the master in private. How can it be better than the unreliable old turtle monster?

  Hu Min looked blank: "No?"

"you sure?"

   "The topic of each lecture will be announced outside the government office and military camp ten days in advance." Hu Min told him, "I have read the announcement for so long, and it seems that I have never seen anyone talk about divination and calculation."

   "That's all." This is really strange.

   While everyone was talking, Commander Xiao Maoliang also appeared. He stood on the round boulder and said with his hands behind his back: "Good afternoon, colleagues today and in the future. I am entrusted by Commander Zhong to explain the dynamics of the Panlong Wasteland and the ongoing battle of our army..."

   Unexpectedly, Xiao Maoliang, who commanded decisively and put life and death on the battlefield, would be so nervous that he stuttered while standing in Wenxiantang to give lectures to everyone. Could this be the first time?

  He Lingchuan couldn't help laughing. However, what Xiao Maoliang said was too important, even though his storytelling skills were not very good, He Lingchuan still listened intently.

   "As you all know, Weicheng fell a few months ago, and there are brothers from Weicheng here. Now the Baling Kingdom's front continues to advance eastward, and it has been harassing Puxigou since a month ago..."

  …

   Two days later, He Lingchuan went to visit Sun Hongye.

  The boy's face was already ruddy. After the toxin was removed, all he had left was the flesh wound on his shoulder. The doctor at Jinghetang prescribed medicine for five days and asked him to take it home and cook it himself.

  Goodbye to He Lingchuan, his attitude was much more enthusiastic than the day before yesterday, and he bowed to the end: "I am grateful to Mr. He for taking care of me during my illness!"

  He Lingchuan waved his hand: "Yes, you saved my family's life."

  Sun Hongye smiled, since Lumingyuan was injured, only He Lingchuan has visited him.

  He poured He Lingchuan a glass of water.

  He Lingchuan saw that his house was also a bungalow, with old furniture, small windows, and only half of the yard, which was covered with snow because no one cleaned it.

"You live by yourself?"

  Sun Hongye nodded: "In the third year after I moved from the northern border, the cousin I took refuge in also passed away."

   "What are your plans for the future?" He Lingchuan asked him, "Someone from the He family was in Luming Garden the day before yesterday, and I already know that you have asked General Ke for a recommendation."

  Sun Hongye laughed at himself: "Yes, my carriage broke down when going down the mountain."

These two things sound irrelevant, but he has a clever mind, and he has been lying on the sick bed for the past two days, so it is easy to infer that He Su sent someone to tamper with his carriage that day, and wanted to give him a gift on a snowy night. A little embarrassing.

  He Lingchuan walked to the only square table in the room: "I have a question, and I want to ask Brother Sun for the solution."

"Please say."

  He Lingchuan dipped water from the cup and drew a topographic map on the desktop.

"Puxigou is a hundred miles west of Longcheng, with 50,000 residents and more than 2,000 troops. Strong enemies often come to attack Puxigou. Every time they make a big attack, Puxigou will send someone to ask for help from Longcheng." He Lingchuan gave a brief explanation, "After a long time, the enemy also changed their tactics, and only sent a few teams to harass the surrounding area. When the reinforcements from Dragon City arrived, they quickly retreated. But the frequency of their harassing is very fast, about ten days. Six or seven times. If the reinforcements from Dragon City don't come, they will join forces and attack Puxigou."

"As a result, Puxigou residents' fishing, hunting, agriculture and commerce cannot be carried out normally, and the loss is huge, and Longcheng is also exhausted to help. After all, it takes more than 200 miles to go back and forth." He Lingchuan asked Sun Hongye, "Brother Sun, please help me." Dragon City came up with a plan."

   "The enemy uses low-intensity, high-frequency attacks." Sun Hongye pointed to the blank area on the table, "Can't Dragon City set up a stronghold or auxiliary city near Puxigou, and divide troops to guard it?"

  He Lingchuan shook his head, "Except for the location of Puxigou, there is nothing dangerous to defend in this hundred-mile wasteland. The worst thing is that there is no water source."

  Without a water source, you can't build a stronghold, and you can't station troops.

  Sun Hongye became interested: "Then, why does Longcheng send troops directly to Puxigou?"

   The place name Puxigou was a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

   "A thousand more people have been dispatched, and a lot of food has been transported there. The wasteland is barren and the water source is precious. No matter how many horses there are, it will not be able to feed them."

  Sun Hongye thought for a longer time this time, and asked again: "So how far is the enemy's stronghold from Puxigou?"

"It's just thirty miles west of Puxigou, which is much closer than Longcheng." Fortunately, He Lingchuan listened carefully to the class last night, so he was able to answer fluently at this time, "A few months ago, Weicheng was captured by the enemy and became an eastward attack As a bridgehead, Puxigou became the front line."

   It takes only sixty miles to send troops from Weicheng, and the journey by horse does not take an hour. Of course, it is much more convenient than Panlong City.

   "What is the population of Weicheng, and how many troops are there?"

  This kid asked really meticulously. "When Weicheng fell, the common people fled Longcheng with their families. Therefore, there are very few civilians in Weicheng. It has become an army town. The number of troops stationed cannot be precise. It should be between 15000 and 3000."

   "Puxigou and Longcheng cannot negotiate peace with the enemy?"

   "There is no such possibility for the time being." At least not in this part of his dream.

   "That is to say, the enemy will not let go of Puxigou's meat." Sun Hongye pointed up, "I have one last question. Is there any special product in Puxigou that is exported to other places?"

"Yes, several precious medicinal materials are special products of the wilderness, which can be used to refine tonic potions; in addition, Puxigou also produces high-purity saltpeter, which is used by the state to make artillery, and is inseparable from the purchase of rich privates and businessmen to make ice. It, so the caravan is still willing to risk traveling the wasteland."

  After all the questions that should be asked, Sun Hongye said: "Okay, then I have two strategies."

  "A bad strategy can solve the urgent need, and once it succeeds, the enemy can be stopped for a while."

"Speaking."

"Use the army to pretend to be a caravan, or deploy an ambush army, use the caravan as a bait, lure the enemy to come and plunder, and then beat them hard." Sun Hongye said, "You said that Weicheng's army has less than 3,000 people, and it was ambushed once. It will hurt your vitality, and it will take a long time to stop. Then this will buy Puxigou time to recuperate and recover."

   "Well, conventional play." He Lingchuan heard many viewers offer this plan when he was asking Xiantang, and he was not surprised, "What's the best strategy?"

   "There is only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no reason to defend against a thief for a thousand days. Passive defense is always inferior. It is best to take back Weicheng with one blow and pull out this thorn in the side to eliminate future troubles."

   "How to do it?"

"Then pay the enemy a few more tributes, and let them go back with a lot of money after grabbing a few times, so as to reduce their guard. In order to hide the enemy's eyes and ears, you might as well have a few more battles, fight more vigorously, and then let out the wind , Said that Puxigou is going to organize a large-scale caravan transport, and ask the Dragon City Army to provide special bodyguards." Sun Hongye shrugged, "The opponent must have set up eyes and ears in Puxigou, right?"

   "This time the goods are expensive, and the escorting army must be at least a thousand people. The bigger the force, the better."

  He Lingchuan understood: "Lead the snake out of the hole?"

"That's right. If you want to eat this batch of goods, the enemy must send at least two thousand elite soldiers to be sure. Then the garrison in Weicheng at this time is only a few hundred, and the city defense is empty. As long as there are surprise soldiers in Longcheng, there is a great chance You can take it!"

"It's not difficult to hear." He Lingchuan smiled, "But what if the sneak attack fails? Not only did Weicheng fail to take down, but the entire caravan used as bait may also be swallowed by the enemy. .”

   "There is only a thin line between victory and defeat. Whether it is a clever plan or a foolish move depends on the result." Sun Hongye also laughed, "Who dares to say that he will win or not lose when he leads troops to fight?"

  He added: "I'm only talking about the outline of the strategy. The details of the implementation of the various ways to confuse, disrupt, and kill the enemy have to be deliberated by the commander himself. The situation of the battle affects the whole body, and accidents are beyond my knowledge."

  He Lingchuan nodded: "Whether it succeeds or not, the team used as the bait will have a tough battle to fight."

  Sun Hongye looked indifferent: "Of course. How can there be no price for war?"

  He Lingchuan looked at him, and then remembered the suggestion that this kid gave General Ke to take Bao Pass and blow up the embankment, which was also a strategy at the cost of destroying a lot of farms and hurting lives.

   In other words, it hurts peace.

  Sun Hongye continued: "I am only responsible for making plans. As for weighing the pros and cons, and whether to do it or not, that is the job of the coach."

  He Lingchuan hummed: "Well said."

  He looked at Sun Hongye's bare house again, and finally made an invitation: "We will leave for Xiazhou in two hours. Brother Sun, come with me, I will treat you as a staff member."

  Sun Hongye was not surprised: "Does my plan suit Mr. He's wishes?"

  He was recuperating from his injuries for two days, and he also heard rumors in the market that the new Xiazhou governor posted recruitment orders everywhere, and he wanted to hire capable people to go to Xiazhou.

"It's not bad to be safe in everything, and the army is dangerous." He Lingchuan smiled slightly, "If you stay in Shihuan, you will either be squeezed out by villains, or you will waste your time. You will be useful in Xiazhou. "
