"The so-called bait means luring them with benefits, and they are all bait soldiers.
Those who bait soldiers must not be taken, otherwise they will be defeated."
This is the method of bait warfare that Yang Fu mentioned at the beginning, and the first step in conquering Xinping County is to bait the bandits, lure them out of the turtle shell of Xinping County, and kill them in one fell swoop.
Now that we have learned about the lack of food for the bandits in Xinping County, we naturally know what bait to use: food and grass.
"General, general, look!"
the scouts yelled on the city wall, wishing they had not deafened the candidates: "That's the Ma family's grain transport brigade."
The candidate immediately looked over, and sure enough he saw a baggage team entering Ma Chao's camp.
If he looked carefully, he could see that the baggage soldiers were moving grain and grass from the warehouse next to the Chinese army's tent.
One of the unlucky guys accidentally spilled the sack, scattering the corn inside all over the floor, and was immediately whipped by the quartermaster.
"General, let's rob this baggage.
The brothers in the city are almost chewing the bark of the tree."
The incompetence of the candidates meant that the bandits below did not have much sense of superiority at all, and they just said whatever they thought of.
"Fart, the baggage has been transported to Ma Chao's camp.
You asked me to lead my troops to fight to the death with the Xiliang cavalry."
The candidate was so angry that he kicked the scout again: "Fighting with those butchers will not last long for you.
I still want to How many more years to live?”
The scout was often beaten and scolded by the candidate, and he had already accumulated a lot of resentment in his heart.
At this time, when he heard that the candidate did not want to rob food, he was so angry that he shouted: "What kind of bullshit general are you?
I used to say that following you would make us rich and delicious, but now we are surrounded in this ruined city.
I haven’t even eaten half a grain of rice.
I might as well go out and fight, maybe I can get a full meal.”
"You want to rebel, don't you?"
The candidate glared, naturally showing some power.
But when he saw that most of the thieves around him had the same look as the scout and wanted to go down to grab food, he knew that he had offended the public and couldn't help but lower his tone and said: "The Xiliang Iron Cavalry dominates the world and is invincible. , especially Ma Chao, We have already won the title of General Tianwei among the Qiang people, and we are capable of killing people like crazy.
How can we fight against others with our wooden guns and iron bars?
Maybe Ma Chao had this idea.
Let us be sent into the tiger's mouth automatically."
"Then what should we do if we starve to death like this?"
The scout was anxious.
He was a thief himself, and his nature was to pluck the hair of geese.
At this time, he was so hungry that his chest was pressed to his belly.
How could he still have the sense to listen to the candidate's words?
"I think about it again.
This matter is very fishy and needs to be discussed in the long term."
The candidate had no choice but to say perfunctorily.
"By the time you think of a way, we will have starved to death long ago."
The scout was so stubborn that he gave up and started splashing on the city wall.
"Go away!"
The candidate had been holding fire in his heart for a long time.
At this moment, he was aroused by the scout.
He picked up the big knife in his hand and slashed at the scout.
The scout had no idea that the candidate who usually did not use the knife on his men would kill him.
He had no room to resist, and his head was chopped off by the big knife.
The head rolled down the city wall, leaving only shocking blood everywhere.
"I led you on expeditions here and there, killing countless people.

By the way, you wolf cubs also enjoyed a lot of blessings.
If it weren't for me, you would have died under those rebel soldiers.
Now you actually regard me as your slave.
"Come and drink" candidacy After seeing this scout, he still couldn't understand his hatred and looked around, as if he wanted to find another unlucky person to vent his anger on: "I tell you, today's food and grass cannot be robbed.
If any of you have the courage to rob that food and grass, you will never be able to rob it again."
Go back to Xinping County” Having said that, the candidate was still angry and walked down the city wall with the bloody sword in his hand: There was still a maidservant in the mansion who had not yet bloomed, and she could use it to extinguish the fire at this time.
Don't think that the candidates have no food to eat like these big-headed soldiers.
This guy has already collected the food in the city for his own allocation and distribution.
Those big soldiers were so hungry that they had no energy, but the candidates still had energy to vent their lust.
"This bitch, he ate so much that his mouth was full of oil, but we didn't even get a piece of porridge," the soldiers on the city wall said bitterly when they saw the candidate leaving.
"That's right, without us, what the hell, he dares to kill us right now," another soldier said harshly, spitting at the candidate's back.
"Don't say any more.
I think the leader is right.
If you say it's for no reason, we will see Ma Chao's grain transport team."
A veteran hurriedly tried to dissuade these recruits, lest they rebel.
"Old Ding, who are you fooling?
These new recruits don't know.
You don't know."
After hearing this, another veteran said sarcastically: "Ma Chao's men are all cavalry going first, and the baggage and food will arrive half a day later.
This is not normal and it seems It seems that the team transporting food and grass will not stop in the past two days, and the candidate for the dog day is just a turtle."
The veteran was choked and had nothing to say, and he felt a little dissatisfied with the candidate.
Afterwards, everyone started making noises again, all using bad words towards the candidates.
In Ma Chao's camp, when everyone saw the head that their subordinates had picked up, they couldn't help but have a sly smile on their lips: It was only the first time they were seduced, and internal strife had already begun.
It seemed that this group of thieves were not only short of food, but also The morale of the military is also quite unstable.
"Send the order and proceed to the second step immediately."
Ma Chao ordered his men immediately after ordering his men to take away the head of the bad habit.
"Yes" everyone agreed loudly and went to prepare.
There was only one left, Fa Zheng, who seemed to have no work to do, so he could only smile awkwardly at Ma Chao and retreat in a flash.
And Ma Chao looked at Fazheng's back and couldn't help but murmured: "Am I being a little too cruel?
This guy is just a fifteen-year-old boy who is in the rebellious stage.
What if he can't withstand this cold violence?"
"The chicken is flying and the egg is beaten."
After thinking about it, Ma Chao decided to resolutely implement the policy of cold violence: extraordinary people do extraordinary things, and if Fa Zheng cannot even withstand this setback, there will be no achievements in the future.
In the blink of an eye, the moon and stars were dimming, and Ma Chao's first night in Xinping County had quietly arrived.
Just by the little bits of light, the bandit soldiers on the city wall were too hungry to sleep.
They just lay lazily together and kept talking to each other in order to survive the night.
"Old Ding, do you think we have any chance of winning if we go out to rob food?"
a new bandit asked weakly.
"Don't think about it.
If you rob food on the way, you might be able to do it.
If you want to rob food in Ma Chao's camp, you are just sending yourself to death."
Lao Ding didn't bother to pay attention to the traitor and simply stated the facts.
"Old Ding, listen, is there any noise?"
the veteran who choked Old Ding in the morning said, but his ear was pressed against the city wall.
"Well, there is a sound, but there are not many people."

Old Ding also put his ear to the city wall, but then he realized that it was not necessary: "There are people climbing the city wall, but it doesn't look like they are coming to open the city gate."
Old Ding looked at the hook on the battlement, holding the knife in his hand, wondering whether he should wait until the man climbed halfway, cut the rope, and let the kid fly for a while.
"Don't cut it, catch him alive.
This guy is the one who was beaten during the day when he was transporting food."
The veteran quickly stopped Lao Ding and continued: "Maybe he is here to deliver food to us."
"You can recognize this too" After the man came up, he was immediately knocked down by four or five thieves.
Old Ding took a look and saw that it was indeed the boy who was beaten during the day.
"Tell me, why did you come to Xinping County to steal the city gate?"
Old Ding put the knife on the boy's neck and said harshly.
"Sir, spare your life, spare your life.
I am originally from Xinping County.
I followed those two idiots Li Kan and Cheng Yin to attack Fufeng County a few days ago and became a prisoner.
I just happened to escape today and want to go home to see my mother. " "What's your name?"
Lao Ding saw that the man was in a panic, and he didn't look like a Xiliang cavalry, so he asked again.
"The villain Xiao Tian." s: Thank you all for your support, thank you to Xia Mo, Muyuan Peak, and Mars for taking the lead, especially Xia Mo, who is already an elder.
It is amazing.
