I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Of course, Qiuci didn't want to help Datang.

To deal with a Ningyuan country, do you still need the help of people from Kucha?That would look down on Datang too much.

This is just a statement.

"We have nothing to do with Ning Yuan Country, we are enemies with them!" This is an art of standing in line.

What they did was not just as simple as publishing a circular, the prime minister even dispatched soldiers to beat gongs and drums on the border of the Kucha Kingdom and made a noise.

"We in Kucha are going to war with Ningyuan Kingdom!"

This made some countries near Qiuci a little confused at the beginning.

If you want to start a war with Ningyuan Country, just start the war.

You send troops!

You act!

What's the use of just beating gongs and drums on the border?Could it be that these gongs and drums were expected to scare Ning Yuan Kingdom to death?

But later... they gradually knew that Datang sent troops to Ningyuan, although they didn't know the reason - Kucha was an exception. After being frightened by Datang for a while, they became extremely concerned about the news of Datang.

The other small countries have all benefited from the development of the Tang Dynasty and lived, at least the nobles lived a life that was even richer than before.This also allows them to understand the outside world more and more narrowly.

Dad, it's Datang.

Coax dad well, just give him a few pieces of meat to eat.

If you are beaten, go to your father, or become a part of your father. This is something that many small countries want to do but fail to do.

Ning Yuanguo didn't know the news yet.

They looked at the large pile of minerals dug out in just a few days in the mine, and... the mine tunnel that was blasted by gunpowder and was about to go deep into the ground.

It seemed a little worried.

Is the technology obtained from Datang so good?

It's not that Ning Yuanguo has never thought of digging mines and selling them for money, but...the corvee they captured, the iron ore and coal mines they dug up every day, minus the food needed by these corvees, the output of a day can't even afford it. It is worthy of their nobles to hold a banquet.

There is still a way out for selling Malays.

But because of this, they just feel a little sorry, but they don't regret it too much.

Ningyuan country.

Xue Rengui has led 400 people to sneak in. They are equipped with the highest level of combat equipment researched by Fengchao.

Inside the tent in the mountains.

Xue Rengui looked at the map on the ground, reached out and tapped lightly on one of the cities in Ningyuan Kingdom.

"We are very close to this city now." He opened his mouth and said softly, "According to the current information, Ning Yuan Kingdom does not know that we have sneaked in."

"So... I'm going to try that idea of ​​mine."

The rangers around Xue Rengui were taken aback for a moment.

One of them shrank his neck: "The one who fought alone?"

Xue Rengui nodded.

This is an idea in his mind, war... is often not decided by one person, and it is often decided by one person.

This seems to be a very conflicting and contradictory sentence.

In fact, it is talking about two levels.

battlefield and strategy.

The battlefield is the confrontation between two armies, the most primitive and bloody fight between people, and the strategy is the attack strategy formulated by the general in the army tent.

On the battlefield, one person cannot control the situation of the battle, but in terms of strategy, one person can control it.

Follow previous experience.

Strategy can influence the battlefield, but...the battlefield cannot influence strategy.

Xue Rengui was thinking, why can't he avoid the battlefield and strategically... end up in a war?

For example, before the war breaks out, behead all the enemies who can formulate strategies, and win a strategic victory...

This is not an unrealistic thing.

It is difficult to do this kind of thing in the era of cold weapons, because it has to be close, within three to five steps. Generally speaking, it is difficult for a stranger to come into contact with such a high-ranking person at such an intimate distance.

But with thermal weapons, it's different.

Within a hundred steps, it is within the killable range.

Firearms single point.

No matter how bad it is, there are grenades, which can kill in a range.

Infiltrating, sabotaging, beheading... Doing the most and the best with limited troops is a method of warfare that Xue Rengui gradually developed around these rangers.

Of course, just ideas.

"Then let's do it?" A ranger said, looking at the map thoughtfully, eager to try.

Xue Rengui glanced at the others, but they didn't speak.

"Yes, I will act together with you." Xue Rengui responded, waved his hand, and waved forward, and several rangers arranged for him.

Not too long.

A dozen or so people dressed in black with a night background left the tent, crossed the moat outside the city, and reached the bottom of the city wall.

The walls of the small city were not as high as Chang'an, and they didn't even need ropes to help them. They only used climbing hoes, and they climbed up slowly by grasping the cracks in the rocks.

A ranger poked his head out cautiously, and inquired about the situation on the city wall through his hanging eyes. After waiting for a while, he gestured to the back.

There is no one on the walls.

They turned over in a swarm, tiptoeing to inquire about the situation inside the city wall. There were also people patrolling under the city wall, but... when it was not a war, the patrolling was still very lax.

There is still a lot of room to operate in the middle.

They sneaked into the city smoothly, but... they didn't immediately rush to the general's mansion or the city lord's mansion in the city. They just had a map of the small city of Ningyuan Kingdom, but they didn't know exactly what was going on inside.

You have to figure it out.

All people with strategic significance must be beheaded, and they must not be given any chance to resist.

Xue Rengui and the others chose a secluded place.

"Let's disperse now, remember your duties, and inquire about intelligence." Xue Rengui took a deep breath, and ordered softly, "Gather here in a day's time."

"Understood." Several other people responded, and then scattered around.

Wait until dusk the next day.

They are here again.

Xue Rengui listened to their reports one by one, took the map drawn by one person, took out a pen from his arms, and wrote and drew in several places: "In the city, there are three people who have military power."

"The city owner alone is here."

"The two generals are here."

"The rest... there are some corporal leaders and the like, and they are here."

While talking, Xue Rengui drew eleven circles on the map.

"That is to say... in this city, there are only eleven people with strategic significance." Xue Rengui paused for a moment, and glanced at the people around him.

"Fourth, you and seventh, go and behead the city lord."

"Old Fifth and I, go take charge of this partial general."

"Gouzi, you and Liu Zhong are going to be in charge of this partial general."

"The rest... each of you is responsible for one."

The rangers responded, and when the night darkened, it was time for them to start their actions.
