Chongzhen Chat Group

Sun Chuanting had obviously considered it and immediately replied: "The focus of this battle is to create chaos, so the number of people does not need to be too many. When the people, soldiers and arrests are added up quickly, three hundred people will be enough."

"Three hundred?" Emperor Chongzhen was speechless upon hearing this, and immediately asked, "There are tens of thousands of bandits, and you only have three hundred. Is this enough to fill your teeth?"

"Is the leader of the group a monk?" Sun Chuanting immediately replied, "The art of war is to surprise the enemy and attack them unprepared. If you bluff in the dark, the thieves will be frightened if they don't know the details. Pretending to be a Yansui army will make the thieves panic even more. With the help of Zhang and Liu's guerrillas, the rebels will be defeated. When the time comes, the Datong Army will be able to easily defeat them."

One thing Sun Chuanting didn't say was that according to his estimation, three hundred people was actually the limit that Dai County could produce. And if there are fewer people, it will be easier to sneak across.

But what he said does make sense. Originally, Zhang Fengyi would probably agree immediately. But who made Sun Chuanting so good that he guessed that Emperor Chongzhen was a monk? This made her speechless for a while, so she spoke after a while: "I think it's okay!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard that Zhang Fengyi, who was leading the troops, said it was okay, he said to Zhang Dingguo: "Can you tell your adoptive father and others to see if there is no problem?"

After a while, Zhang Dingguo spoke: "My foster father and Uncle Liu thought that since Dai County had done a good job in attacking and defending in the past, Mr. Sun must be a man who knows how to fight. Therefore, he should lead the attack. My foster father and Uncle Liu can trust me." , you can give it a try!”

As soon as he said this, Sun Chuanting immediately had a good impression of those two-rate thieves. He didn't know that Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Guoneng really admired him, but they admired him even more for his courage. It is impossible for people who can put their lives on the line if they are not sure.

In addition, another advantage of Sun Chuanting personally leading the troops is that he can contact Zhang Xianzhong and others instantly through the chat group. Just as Zhang Dingguo added: "My adoptive father also said that we can send his trusted followers to help him!"

Emperor Chongzhen watched their conversation and saw that several people with experience in leading troops agreed with this plan. Thinking that the bandits could not be allowed to escape, he also agreed to this action plan.

After reaching a consensus, Sun Chuanting withdrew from the chat group. However, he did not act immediately, but continued to sit there, his hands on the armrests clapping involuntarily, very rhythmically and steadily.

Mrs. Sun, who heard the noise outside, came in to take a look and said softly: "Husband, the night is already dark, it's time to rest!"

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he turned to look at her and suddenly stood up from the imperial chair and said, "Madam, please go and rest first! My husband has to go out for a while."

After saying that, he strode out. Mrs. Sun thought he was going to the Yamen or the city for inspection, which was quite common, so she just warned him: "Remember to go back home early to rest."

Upon hearing this, Sun Chuanting stood still and seemed a little hesitant, but in the end he didn't say anything, and went out without even turning his head to look again.

He first went to the clan ancestral hall and ordered forty young Zhuang people, and then went to the county government office and the city head to order people respectively. A total of about 300 people gathered in the courtyard in front of the county government hall.

Sun Chuanting is the actual commander-in-chief of Dai County, and there are not many people in Dai County, so he has an understanding of the abilities of most people. This gathering of people is also the result of considering all aspects.

Sun Chuanting stood on the steps of the lobby, looking seriously at the young men in the hall who were a little confused. The county magistrate standing next to him seemed a little panicked. Anyway, compared with Sun Chuanting next to him, he was a bit conspicuous.

"Clan leader, everyone is here!" After counting the number of people, Baihu stepped forward and clasped his fists to report. He was also a little puzzled. Why did Sun Chuanting summon so many people at this time?

Sun Chuanting nodded, waved his hand, and after Baihu stood beside him, he said coldly: "Now there is a huge wealth, do you have the courage to come with me to get it?"

Upon hearing this, the courtyard suddenly fell silent. Everyone turned to look at Sun Chuanting, wondering what he meant by this?

When Sun Chuanting saw everyone looking at him, he spoke again: "The Yansui Army and the Baigan Army will arrive before noon tomorrow. If we defeat the 20,000 bandits before then, this war will be of concern to the court and the emperor." , the credit will be ours! When the time comes, we will reward according to our merits, and we will never be able to escape wealth!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone suddenly felt that Sun Chuanting was crazy. There are only about three hundred people, but they want to defeat 20,000 bandits outside the city? Crazy? The buzzing of low-pitched discussions suddenly became loud.

Sun Chuanting had actually told the young people about the number of thieves, and the reaction of everyone at this time was within his expectation. He immediately shouted coldly to silence them, and then said: "The bandits left the city earlier because they were fighting the Datong Army in Balipu. Now it is a stalemate."

As soon as the news was released, many people's eyes lit up, but then they still shook their heads slightly. So what, there are only three hundred people on my side, which is not enough for the bandits!

"Two groups of bandits have already defected to the imperial court and will assist us. As long as we pretend to be the Yansui Army and attack the bandits, they will take the opportunity to cause chaos. There is also the Datong Army outside. The other two groups of imperial troops will arrive before noon. This battle must be won!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the courtyard became quiet again, and then immediately there was a "buzzing" sound. Most of these young and strong guys were a little excited, discussing with each other the exciting news they had heard.

"If we want to make great achievements, tonight will be our last chance." Sun Chuanting's voice seemed to have always been cold and unsmiling. "But there is still a risk. Anyone who goes will be given thirty taels of silver for their settlement. Wait until the establishment is completed. Credit and reward will be given!"

Having said this, he glanced at the county magistrate standing next to him.

When the magistrate of Dai County saw it, he waved quickly, and two government servants came out carrying several boxes. They opened the boxes, and the floor was full of eye-catching silver.

These people named by Sun Chuanting were all evaluated by him in advance. A man of average family background, perhaps short of money, but brave, or eager to get ahead. After mentioning so many favorable conditions at this time, as he expected, most people were moved.

Under the illumination of the torch, he glanced at every young and strong face, and said coldly again: "This battle does not require us to fight to the death, we only need to bluff and create chaos. There is only one chance to make a difference, and there is not much time. If you don’t want to go, come forward and stay at the Yamen to avoid leaking the news!”

After saying this, he saw that some people were still a little hesitant and seemed to want to stand up, so he added: "I will personally lead the army and leave the city together. Anyone who doesn't want to come with me should come out quickly and don't waste time. !”
