Rise From the Humble

   "Nephew, we will definitely not make those small mistakes in the official documents next time. But, nephew, these copywriting and calculation tasks are something that a small copyist can do, and he can't show his skills."

  Uncle Zhu Shouren whispered to Hu Wei and Xia Qiang for a while, then nodded, walked up to Zhu Pingan with his hands behind his back, and justified their mistake just now with a look of disapproval.

   "Then what can show his ability?" Zhu Pingan twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly.

"We are all people who have latitude and longitude in our chests and talents in our stomachs. We should do big things and difficult things. We should not be limited to the tedious affairs of these small bureaucrats. Just like an old saying in our hometown, kill a chicken to try If you don't have skills, you can show your true nature by going into the mountains and killing tigers." Uncle Zhu Shouren said confidently.

  Hu Shao and Natsumi also nodded.

   Can’t even do this small thing well, and still have the face to say that he is a person who can do big things?! It’s ridiculous and overestimated.

   "Then what is a big deal?" Zhu Pingan held back his words.

   "Of course it's a matter of strategizing and winning thousands of miles. This kind of strategic event requires brains." The uncle said.

   "Okay, let me give you a big problem and ask you for advice."

  Zhu Ping'an saw the dissatisfied and confident expressions of the uncle and the other three, twitched the corners of his mouth speechlessly, and said slowly.

   "Nephew/Master Zhu, please speak." Uncle Zhu Shouren and the other three said straightly.

"Currently, there are more than 40,000 Japanese pirates entrenched in Tuolin and other places. If the Japanese pirates entrenched in Tuolin and other places suddenly attack Suzhou City and send out 20,000 troops to surround our Zhejiang Army's Fengqiao camp, how can we solve it?" Zhu Pingan said slowly.

   "Ahem, nephew, how many soldiers and horses do we have?" the uncle asked with a cough.

  Zhu Ping'an was speechless. When I asked you to ask for food, gunpowder and weapons, didn't you mention the number of our troops? !

   "Brother Zhu, the Zhejiang Army has a total strength of two thousand." Hu Wei reminded from the side.

   "Ahem, that's right, I just remembered after I finished asking, it was around two thousand." Uncle Zhu Shouren blushed a little.

   "Our army has two thousand, and the Japanese pirates surrounded are twenty thousand, two thousand, twenty thousand." Xia Qiang closed his eyes and meditated, twitching his fingers.

   After about a few seconds, Xia Qiang heard the pinching fingers, and opened his eyes suddenly, as if a bonfire was lit in his eyes, he held his head high and said, "My lord, this matter is easy to hear."

  Hu Wei and his uncle Zhu Shouren looked at Xia Qiang in surprise. They hadn't figured out a way yet, but Xia Qiang came out on top.

   Zhu Ping'an was also an accident.

  This problem is not simple. I didn't expect Xia Qiang to have a solution so quickly. Could it be that he misunderstood him just now?

   Is it longer than the strategy and shorter than the details? !

  If Japanese pirates from Tuolin land attacked Suzhou, the scenario in the question might really happen, and the probability is not low. If Xia Qiang can come up with a good plan, then I will really look at him with admiration and change my previous plan.

   "Mr. Xia, please speak." Zhu Pingan sat up straight and stretched out his hand interestedly to make a gesture of please.

  In the eyes of everyone, Xia Qiang cupped his hands and said slowly, "Our army has 2,000 soldiers, and there are 20,000 Japanese pirates surrounded. In this case, as long as each of our soldiers kills ten Japanese pirates, the matter will be settled."

   Damn it!

  You put it here and here.

  The calculation is pretty good. There are 2,000 people in our army, and each of them killed ten Japanese pirates. The 20,000 Japanese pirates outside were just killed.

  The question is, **** ten Japanese pirates each? ! Can you move your mouth with your words? ! Listening to what you have to say is like listening to what you say!

  Zhu Ping'an.

  After Hu Wei heard Xia Qiang's words, the nervousness on his face instantly dissipated. He thought that Xia Qiang had won the first place first. Fortunately, Xia Qiang was as useless as ever and didn't have the opportunity to cover up.

   "Nephew, nephew, I have a solution." At this time, uncle Zhu Shouren's voice sounded.

   "Uncle, please tell me."

  Zhu Ping'an said lightly, after Xia Qiang's answer, he has no expectations for them.

   "Nephew, we can use the empty city strategy. Let's go first. If you stay and play the piano, the pirates will retreat."

  Uncle Zhu Shouren said excitedly, fortunately, I have read a lot of books, and at the critical moment, I remembered the empty city plan.

  After Zhu Pingan heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched

   "It's really a good nephew. Sima Yi led more than 100,000 elite troops and retreated when encountering an empty city. The Japanese pirates only have 20,000 people. They must retreat faster."

  Uncle Zhu Shouren saw Zhu Pingan's indescribable expression, and quickly opened his eyes for his plan.

   "Brother Zhu, step back. You are not the only one who has seen the empty city plan. There are many Chinese among the Japanese pirates. There are eight hundred people who have seen the empty city plan. Aren't you harming Master Zhu?!"

   Hu Wei tugged at Zhu Shouren's sleeve, shook his head and said.

   "Then do you have any good ideas?" Uncle Zhu Shouren asked Hu Wei back.

"I have a plan. Thirty-six strategies are the best strategy. We have few people, so there is no need to be buried with Suzhou City. The target of the Japanese pirates is Suzhou City. As long as we get out of the gap before the Japanese pirates encircle us, the Japanese pirates will definitely not waste their troops chasing after us." Ours." Under the uncle's rhetorical question, Hu Wei came up with a plan.

Uncle Zhu Shouren touched his chin and nodded after hearing this, "Well, brother Hu, this is based on my idea. My idea is that we go first and leave the virtuous nephew to play the piano and sing empty plans. Brother Hu, yours It means that my nephew will stop playing the piano, stop singing empty city tricks, and come with us."

   "This is also a way." Xia Qiang also nodded.

   "Fleeing without fighting, the Japanese pirates will spare me, the military law will not forgive me, the sage will not forgive me, and the people who died unjustly will not forgive me."

  Zhu Ping'an was speechless.

   "Our troops are too few, and there are too many Japanese pirates, what should we do?"

   "There is no solution at all, nephew, isn't this difficult for you to force others to do?"

   The three uncles shook their heads again and again.

"Is there no solution for two thousand against twenty thousand? There are endless such things in history. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Li Shimin led more than three thousand Xuanjia troops to fight against Kou Jiande's one hundred thousand army. Three thousand against one hundred thousand is no more important than two thousand against twenty thousand." Should there be no solution? As a result, Li Shimin first used himself as a bait to lure thousands of pursuers under Kou Jiande's command to an ambush and wipe them out. The commander of the three thousand Xuanjia army drove straight in, captured the king first, broke through Dou Jiande's army, captured Dou Jiande alive, and completed the battle of destroying one hundred thousand with three thousand."

"There was also the Battle of Xiangyang in the second year of Song Kaixi. There were less than 10,000 defenders in Xiangyang, but there were as many as 200,000 Jin soldiers who attacked the city. Zhao Chun, the defender of Xiangyang, raised food and materials, fortified the walls and cleared the fields, collected weapons, and rushed to make crossbows. With less than 10,000 lone troops, they defended Xiang

  Yang, defeated the Jin army by 200,000. "

"There was also the Rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Jin Dynasty. Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, came out of Youji, and Sima Yong, the king of Hejian, came out of Guanzhong. The two armies totaled 300,000 troops and attacked Luoyang. Cheng Shao led the forbidden army to break through the 200,000-strong army of the King of Chengdu first, scaring the Hejian King, who had a force of more than 50,000, and wanted to flee in a panic. Not today."

"Furthermore, our Zhejiang army, although only 2,000 troops, has many firearms and is good at defending. We have also invited food, gunpowder and weapons, relying on Fengqiao, low walls and sentry posts. It is not a problem to defend the Fengqiao camp. It is just how to solve it. The siege of Suzhou City requires careful planning."

  Zhu Pingan shook his head slightly, and said slowly to them.

  Uncle and the three of them looked at each other and fell silent...
