Chapter 17 Yin Qiao's Plan
Just after Pei Qing left with the large army, Yin Qiao was not idle. He immediately ordered all the men, women, young and old in the village to take action and make scarecrows, and for this reason he did not hesitate to take out all the straws they lay under their bodies when they were sleeping.
In order to achieve greater results, Yin Qiao decided to demonstrate himself, first to make all the straw he laid when he was sleeping, and to make the straw man himself.
Under this situation, the ten soldiers assigned to Yin Qiao followed suit without any complaints. In this way, the opposition became weaker, and many people were helpless in making straw men with Yin Qiao.
"We could have a good sleep when we didn't change our boss, but now we can't even sleep well." Some people were very dissatisfied and said in their hearts.
Yin Qiao also knew that everyone was dissatisfied, but he did not hesitate at all. At the same time, he loudly advised everyone: "Don't worry, the boss will be back tomorrow at most. He will definitely bring us a lot of food and supplies. By then, we can live a good life, but before that, we need to survive first. We are now trying to ensure that everyone can survive."
"Hmph, live? We are almost frozen to death now, how can we survive?" A white-haired old man trembled with coldness and said tremblingly.
"So I'll gather everyone in the hall, and we all gather together to keep warm so that we can resist the severe cold. Aunt Wu, I know our life is not easy, but it's better than being killed by bandits. Our copycat is now empty and it's hard to guarantee that no sluts will take the opportunity to launch an attack. For safety reasons, we must be prepared."
Yin Qiao knew this old man because he was a fellow villager with his surname Xie, and his specific name was not clear. His son was also a minion in the village, named Xie Bogao. He seemed to be a remote branch of the Xie family in a small local family. However, he was also excluded and his family was poor. Then the father and son followed the boss to Wolong Mountain to become bandits.
However, this old man seemed to have read a few days and could recognize a few words, so he was honored as the accountant manager by Zhou Cang, who called him "Mr.".
"But what does this have to do with the grass-piercing man? Can the grass-piercing man ensure our safety?" the old man named Xie said loudly.
"Of course it's related. This is the secret strategy left by the boss. As long as foreign enemies invade, they will definitely be able to retreat without fighting." Yin Qiao's words were loud and he was very confident in his words.
"Hmph, we want to see if there is really an invasion by foreign enemies, will you be the first to escape?" The old man surnamed Xie looked at Yin Qiao and said coldly.
Yin Qiao stopped talking. He knew that he was just a gangster before. Although he was temporarily appointed and became the temporary leader of the parody, few people trusted him at all. Even if he guaranteed it, it would be useless.
However, Yin Qiao was very excited. He knew that at a critical moment, only by taking real actions could everyone recognize him. This was just like when he was a straw man before, he took out the straw he used to rest, which blocked everyone's mouth.
"This is a test for me by the boss. For everyone's safety and of course for my own future. I must complete this test, no matter what the price I pay." Yin Qiao made up his mind and cheered himself up, and could not give up no matter what.
Facts proved that Yin Qiao's preparation was not in vain, because just the next morning, I heard a shout of killing suddenly coming from the foot of the mountain.
Everyone in the village heard the shouts of killing, their faces changed drastically, especially the old men who had expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that Yin Qiao had slaughtered the man.
However, among them, the old man surnamed Xie still did not believe that the grass-roots man could resist foreign enemies. Although he did not have many books, he claimed to be knowledgeable, but he had never heard of such things.
"It seems that this kid is busy with work, but in the end it will be a waste. I, Xie Yizhen, is a very knowledgeable person. I originally gave up my family business and went up the mountain. Although it was for a livelihood, I also wanted to make some contributions in it. Seeing that this boss had a strange face, I would definitely become a noble person in the future. At that time, as long as I pull me, I will be able to settle down. But I didn't expect that today I would encounter such a situation. Seeing so many people at the foot of the mountain and my village is so empty, this battle may be my death. I just hope that my son Bo Gao can build some achievements in the future and let the snobbish people in the family know that there are my father and son."
Xie Yizhen sighed secretly, and had already made the worst plan in her heart.
However, at this time, Yin Qiao said, "The final truth is time to be revealed. Don't come out. I will only take ten brothers to face the enemy. It only takes half an hour at most to force the enemy to retreat."
Then Pu Yinqiao led the ten people out of the hall, to the gate of the village, opened the gate, and then walked out of the village together.
Outside the mountain village was a group of more than 300 defeated soldiers, which were originally ruled by Sun Jian, the governor of Yuzhou. However, because Sun Jian was shot to death by Huang Zu in Xianshan, his team collapsed and most of them defected to Yuan Shu. Because of the rain and snow, the more than 300 people returned to the team late, and were disliked by Yuan Shu. Instead, they led their troops to attack. They took a lot of effort to escape and had to form a team to wander around and happened to come to a place not far from Woniu Mountain.
In fact, although this army has good combat power, it has few people after all. In normal times, they dare not provoke such a huge force in Woniu Mountain. However, they had seen more than 3,000 people in Woniu Mountain and had not returned overnight, so they were determined to rob. Anyway, they were also committing crimes and robbing a vote and leaving directly, so they would not worry about being retaliated by Woniu Mountain in the future.
The leader of this army was a personal soldier of Sun Jian, named Deng Dang. Although this man was a personal soldier, he was influenced by Sun Jian. He was not only brave in combat, but also very smart. It was precisely because of his qualifications and abilities that he was elected as the leader.
However, even Deng Dang was very smart, when he saw that the other party's village gate opened, only eleven people walked out of the village, he couldn't help but be surprised, because he had never seen such a scene in the years of war.
Just when he was suspicious, the leader opposite him smiled and said, "It's such a coincidence that you came here. Our clan is now empty and has no defense power. Look at the clan guards, they are all replaced by straw men. Come over and kill more than a dozen of us. This clan is yours."
However, Deng Dang was hesitating now. If the other party guarded the situation strictly, it would be enough to prove that the counterfeit was indeed empty, because the attacks of 300 people had to try their best to defend, which obviously proved that the counterfeit was empty. However, now the other party said this, Deng Dang subconsciously believed that this should be the other party's trick.
"Has this copycat been surrendered to Yuan Shu long ago? They set up this formation to deceive us into entering the copycat, then capture us all alive, and then dedicate it to Yuan Shu to make meritorious contributions and receive rewards? But your acting is too clumsy, right? He actually used the straw man to cover the main force behind him. How could I, Deng Dang, be fooled like this?"
So Deng Dang said with a gloomy face: "There is no need to act here. Do you think we don't know that you have been bribed by Yuan Shu? Humph, we will have a date later."
After saying that, Deng Dang immediately waved his hand and led the more than 300 people to turn and leave.
