Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

Although these spies did not come back in the end, there were always some who came out once to exchange information with others. Usually, they exchanged information once, and then they were listed as key observation targets after entering, and then they were investigated and killed.

In this way, going out to exchange information once also gave the Xihu people a rough understanding of Anran's base.

Not bad, a rough understanding.

For those who have just entered the base, the base will definitely not let them know too much, so those spies know very little and only have a rough understanding of the base. In addition, they know that the owner of the base is a person named Tang Anran. , I don’t know whether he is a man or a woman - because An Ran rarely shows up, ordinary people don’t know who the people above are. Anyway, as long as they live a good life, that’s all.

It took them a lot of effort to know that the owner of the base was named Tang Anran, because most people would not tell them if asked directly. Instead, they would ask them cautiously, asking them what they were doing when they first came in.

They also tried their best to find out this.

Although I don’t know how much space Tang Anran occupies, since the other party has many bastions, the Xihu people will have to contact them to see what the other party’s attitude is. If they obey him honestly, it’s okay. If they don’t, I’m sorry. , then it’s time to clean up.

They didn't feel that they couldn't deal with An Ran, because they were swollen by their countless victories in the north, so they didn't pay attention to the Central Plains people at all.

At that moment, the Xihu people were polite first and then sent troops. They sent people to deliver military requisition orders to An Ran, asking An Ran to provide 100,000 shi of food and 1 million taels of silver.

——The so-called honesty and obedience is naturally not a verbal question from Xihu about whether An Ran will surrender, but directly asking An Ran for something. If he refuses to give it, he is disobedient, and then he will be beaten. After all, the people of the Central Plains are treacherous. If you just ask, , I don’t want anything, what if I try to persuade them on the surface but do some tricks behind my back? So I ask for something directly and see if they give it to me. In this way, even if the other party does one thing in front of me and another behind their back, at least I get the thing. , is also good.

They didn't know how big Anron was, nor how much money Anron had. They just thought that if they wanted this much, it would be a lot, especially food. Now in the north, it would be difficult to come up with 100,000 shi of food.

But in fact, for An Ran now, so many things are really not much. She can take them out casually, but she won't give them to her. After all, if she gives so many things to the enemy, it is not to help the enemy develop. Is it growing? She is not stupid, how could she do this.

But An Ran hasn't grown up enough yet, and she still needs time to develop, so she won't refuse outright on the surface.

So An Ran said to the messenger who sent the message that if there were not so many things, would it be okay to give him 10,000 shi of food and 100,000 taels of silver?

Of course, An Ran didn't intend to give anything, so the reply now was just a delaying tactic, to buy some time and expand more territory.

The people of Xihu don't know. Seeing what An Ran said, they also think that for a rich man, ten thousand stones of grain and one hundred thousand taels of silver are a lot. Although it is a lot, it is not the amount they want! That was not possible, so the Xihu people immediately said that less than 50,000 shi of grain and 500,000 taels of silver would not do. If they did not give it, they would raise troops to get it.

They felt that the food and money might be a bit too much, but Tang Anran had many Wubao and should be able to afford it, so they said this. The other party may not have so many things on hand, but the assets of so many Wubao add up. There should be so many.

In this way, if the other party is honest, they will try their best to meet their requirements. Unless they are dishonest, they will stubbornly resist.

Fortunately, the other party seemed to be honest and told him to join in. I hope Master Wang could extend his time.

——In fact, Enron is trying to delay as much time as possible.

The people from Xihu also felt that asking for so much was a bit too much. Just because the other party had so much money in all his assets did not mean he had so many things on hand, so he gave An Ran half a month to collect the money and things, as long as he could collect it within half a month. If they have handed over so many things to them, it means that the other party is still honest. That's okay, then they won't fight. After all, they can continue to raise the honest fat sheep who can hand over so many things to them in one go. After all, they can do it without fighting. After getting a lot of things, they naturally don't want to fight. After all, people will always die in any war. They have few people in Xihu, so they don't want to die.

Half a month later, An Ran regretfully told the Xihu people that he had not collected enough things and could he give him another half month.

If the people from Xihu could grant her half a month's grace, they were all compassionate. How could they continue to quarrel with her? When An Ran said this, he decided that An Ran was dishonest - which was true - and issued an ultimatum. , and asked Anran to hand over the things within three days, otherwise, the army would come and level her fort three days later.

An Ran secretly thought that it was a good idea to explain the war during the war. At least it gave her time to prepare for the enemy.

So I started to prepare while crying.

According to the information she learned, the other party felt that he was just a rich man and was not worthy of a large army, so he only sent two thousand people.

In fact, sending two thousand people here was enough to impress themselves, because when the Xihu people attacked the imperial army and occupied many cities, the number of people in ordinary cities was only this.

Now, two thousand people were dispatched to attack a person who they considered to be a rich man. Naturally, they were enough to think highly of themselves.

However... if two thousand people hit you, it might not even be enough to squeeze the gap between your teeth. Because before, it was not difficult for the bastion to defeat ten thousand people in the refugee group. Now it will not be difficult to defeat two thousand people, even if they are Xihu people. Where to go? After all, although the tactics of those refugee groups are not as powerful as regular armies like them, the refugees are not afraid of death. Ten thousand people are not worth the fighting power of two thousand people. Since they can fight ten thousand people, this Naturally, two thousand people would not be a problem.

At most, the confidence of the common people is not as sufficient as when fighting the refugees. After all, the Xihu people have not been defeated before. The imperial court has always been unable to defeat them. As a result, the Xihu people are extremely powerful in the eyes of the Central Plains people. In this way, Come, naturally some people feel that they cannot defeat the Xihu people.

But it's okay. In the past, some people felt that they couldn't defeat the refugees at first, but after winning a battle, everyone's confidence came back.

The same goes for fighting the Xihu people now. You may not have confidence now, but after winning a battle, everyone will have confidence.

An Ran's guess was correct. Everyone was indeed not that confident in fighting the Xihu people. After all, the Xihu people were victorious in fighting the imperial court. This naturally made them feel that even the regular army of the imperial court could not defeat them. How could ordinary people like them possibly do it? Have you ever been able to fight?
