Please ask me to be the emperor

Niu Jinxing suppressed her excitement and acted like a confident stickman.

This was not because he wanted to imitate Song Xiance, but because he had to do this in order to deal with thieves such as Guo Sanhai, Liu Hongqi, Shen Wandeng and Sheng Zhiyou.

The Analects of Confucius says: The people can follow it, but they cannot know it! "Book of Shang Jun" Chi Guoguo even pointed out that "the people are easy to govern if they are stupid."

Since ancient times, the art of war has been indistinguishable. Since Niu Jinxing was good at Sun Wu's art of war, he naturally also dabbled in Legalist thought.

What's more, among military strategists, there is still a school of thought called "Yin and Yang of Soldiers".

The so-called yin and yang are those who move according to the time, push the punishment and virtue, and attack according to the fight. Because of the five wins, the fake ghosts and gods think to help. To put it bluntly, it is just pretending to be a ghost and deceiving the ignorant.

Although Niu Jinxing is good at Sun Wu's art of war and is a typical "military strategist", it does not mean that he will not be flexible and use unconventional means to achieve his goals.

At that time, Guo Sanhai, Liu Hongqi, Shen Wandeng and Sheng Zhizhi were greedy for the property of the women in Chongwang Palace in Runing Palace, so they made up their minds to take advantage of "the emptiness of Runing to seize the city."

Of course, according to the strength of the four of them, no one is sure of taking down Runing Fucheng, otherwise there would be no need for them to scheming here.

So, Niu Jinxing took the opportunity to propose: "I wonder which of you can capture Runing Mansion, so we might as well mark the way in advance."

The four of them looked at me, and I looked at you, and the originally exciting atmosphere weakened.

They couldn't help but talk to each other: "We are all residents of Runing, and we already know the truth and falsehood of Runing Mansion."

"Although a large number of soldiers have been transferred to Nanyang Mansion, the Nanyang garrison is still stuck in the city and refuses to leave. The four of us can't break this city alone, we have to work together!"

"That's a good relationship!" Niu Jinxing couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "In that case, you should nominate a leader to take charge of this matter, and I will wait for your good news!"

Guo Sanhai couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly volunteered: "Guo is famous in eight counties and one state in Runing, and has more than ten thousand people under his command. This position must be mine!"

As soon as Guo Sanhai finished speaking, Liu Hongqi and Shen Wandeng couldn't help but burst into laughter, which was very rude.

Guo Sanhai couldn't help but stare at these two people, with a fierce look in his eyes, and asked fiercely: "What do you two mean?"

"It's boring, it's really boring!" Liu Hongqi shook his head and said, "War is not just about the number of people. Even if there are more than ten thousand people under his command, can they be worth the thousand elites under King Shun's command?"

"I, Liu Hongqi, am different. I started my business by selling private salt, and my business is licking blood from the edge of a knife."

"As the saying goes: 'If a person is not ruthless, he will not be able to stand firm'. Liu relied solely on his command. After capturing Runing City, I will kill the Ming vassal king with one strike. Please give me a warning, sir!"

This guy is about to submit his name to King Shun. Niu Jinxing couldn't help but be overjoyed and was about to respond.

Unexpectedly, Shen Wandeng answered: "Fighting fiercely is nothing more than blood-blooded courage. A slight setback will lead to the disintegration of birds and beasts; a slight degree of pride may lead to betrayal and backlash."

"Shen is different. He has always been famous in the countryside for his reputation as a chivalrous man who fights evil with cruelty. He dare not let his guard down one day!"

"If I were a general, not only would all the knights and knights in Runing city be willing to die, but I would also win the hearts and minds of the people. When the time comes, King Shun would capture Runing without spending a single soldier. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"

This good guy is going to show his loyalty, going one step further than Liu Hongqi.

Guo Sanhai suddenly became anxious and couldn't help but say something: "Since the people's support is with you and you have a palace, what else does Master Shen need from King Shun?"

Boy, this is a damning statement. The three of them immediately started talking, defending themselves and criticizing each other.

The fight made Niu Jinxing impatient. Sheng Zhiyou suggested in a weak voice: "In that case, since no one of you wants to obey anyone, why not let Mr. Niu make the decision and we can just follow suit?"

Uh. The other three people looked at each other and saw the resentment in each other's eyes. They knew that no one could overwhelm the other.

They had no choice but to cup their hands and say: "It's our Meng Lang. Fortunately, Brother Sheng reminded us. Mr. Niu is a scholar, and his abilities are a hundred times better than ours. We are willing to obey Mr.'s orders and work together to conquer this city."

Don’t look at what they say sounds nice, but they actually have a lot of thoughts.

It turns out that these four people are not convinced by each other and refuse to give in to each other. I am afraid that if they fight today until tomorrow, and tomorrow until after tomorrow, they will not be able to fight for one, two, three; secondly, if everyone fails to rebel this time, it can also be deduced that The leader holds the vat to avoid retaliation from officers and soldiers.

Niu Jinxing was like a bright mirror in her heart, and she had long noticed their cowardly and greedy behavior.

But he never expected that these four people would be stupid enough to give up their command. This is truly a person who "does great things but cherishes his own life, and sees small gains but forgets his righteousness".

Niu Jinxing rolled her eyes and couldn't help but smile: "Thank you for your love and respect for Niu. But I am just a scholar, how can I take on such an important task?"

The more Niu Jinxing refused, the more suitable the four of them felt that this person was.

Anyway, this guy is just a scholar. What does he know about the use of war? How to march and set up the formation at that time is not at the mercy of the four of them!

So, they asked Niu Jinxing to be the leader one after another, but Niu Jinxing refused, so he had to accept it.

He made a three-part agreement in advance: "Since everyone insists on letting me be the leader, I will say the ugly things first."

"Everyone can speak freely about how to act. However, the military order is like a mountain. Once the attack on the city begins, if anyone disobeys it, I will report the truth to King Shun and cancel his qualifications to be the general soldier."

When everyone heard this, it was a matter of course, and they immediately agreed.

Therefore, after discussion among the five people, they decided to let Shen Wandeng contact the rangers in the city and act as internal agents; Liu Hongqi led dozens of private salt dealers who dared to risk their lives to seize the door.

Guo Sanhai was responsible for leading the army into the city after Liu Hongqi successfully captured the gate; as for Sheng Zhiyou, he led the troops to follow Niu Jinxing and act as a surprise force.

The five people reached an agreement and took action separately. On the second day, everyone was ready.

It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, so Liu Hongqi and Shen Wandeng led their dead men to steal the city gate.

Originally, Shen Wandeng did not need to participate in the battle to seize the door, but Liu Hongqi was afraid that he would cheat him and insisted on Shen Wandeng accompanying him. Shen Wanteng wanted to save face, so he had no choice but to agree.

At around midnight, several screams were heard from the north gate of Runing City, and then the city gate opened wide.

Shen Wanteng took the lead and rushed into the city. Liu Hongqi hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and rushed in.

When everyone entered the city, they found that several rangers were being surrounded and killed by the city defenders, and everyone rushed to save them.

After finally killing the officers and soldiers guarding the city, everyone was about to enter the city when they heard a loud noise, and then the ground shook several times.

Shen Wandeng, Liu Hongqi and others looked back and saw that the north gate had a thousand-jin gate, which actually separated dozens of them from the main force such as Guo Sanhai.

It turned out that some officers and soldiers took the opportunity to open the mechanism while they were rescuing the Rangers, trapping them in the city.
