When the scholar heard this, his expression turned anxious.
"Isn't Liu Xi a little too greedy? He wants to rescue the emperor and attack our sect at the same time? He's not afraid of choking to death! "
An Cui was speechless again.
Jiang Pengji and the Red Lotus Group were enemies. If she did not take advantage of his weakness, would she love him with motherly love?
An Cui said, "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient. I said there's no need to be anxious precisely because Liu Xi is too greedy. He wants to have the best of both worlds, so he must expand the results of the battle as quickly as possible. They can't afford to delay a battle if they follow the rules … "
The scholar was fascinated. He pricked up his ears for fear of missing a word.
"… In this situation, Liu Xi can only concentrate his forces to attack one place. Our sect has many people and countless followers. Why would we be afraid of Liu Xi's mere tens of thousands of troops? If he wants to attack by force, we will concentrate our forces and delay them. After a long time, he will naturally retreat. "
The scholar nodded as he listened, then asked a stupid question.
"Why would he retreat voluntarily?"
An Cui choked.
He really did not want to answer such a stupid question.
"Because it's to rescue the emperor. Liu Xi's time cannot be delayed."
The scholar nodded his head in agreement. He finally understood.
"In other words, we just need to delay him?"
As long as they delayed him, Liu Xi would retreat without a fight.
An Cui agreed, "That's exactly what I mean."
The scholar asked again, "But how do we know where Liu Xi will attack? Chengde County's terrain is not complicated, but it is vast. It is troublesome and a waste of time to send reinforcements. Duo Xi, where do you think Liu Xi will concentrate his forces to attack? "
An Cui lowered his eyes.
With such a pig brain as a military adviser, it was no wonder that they could not suppress the Tsing Yi Army.
The Red Lotus Group had many people, but their brains were too stupid.
"This is why I said there's no need to be anxious." An Cui looked like he was giving advice. He smiled and said, "We wait, wait for Liu Xi's next move. Liu Xi is fighting a long-distance battle, while we are defending. There are flat official roads in the county. We can move troops much faster than them. Instead of worrying and panicking now and making the people panic, it is better to sit on the fishing platform and wait for Liu Xi to come to us. No matter where he attacks, as long as we keep an eye on him, no matter how he attacks, we will be able to gain the upper hand. "
An Cui had given the Red Lotus Group a solid blow, so much so that the scholar's bones went limp and his mentality swelled to the heavens.
When the scholar heard this, his eyes lit up.
He held Ann's hands and called her his confidant.
An Cui chuckled.
He would never befriend a pig.
His expression was cold.
The scholar asked a few more stupid questions in detail, and An Cui answered them in detail, without any intention of hiding anything.
The scholar was very satisfied with their conversation.
He patted An Cui's shoulder. "You've done well. You've done a great service this time. I'll definitely put in a good word for you in front of the cult master."
An Cui revealed an expression of uncontrollable ecstasy on his face, but he pretended to be reserved and humbly declined.
However, according to his preliminary test of the scholar, this person would not recommend him to the Red Lotus Group's leader. Instead, he would "hide" him.
Why?
The Red Lotus Group did not need two equally "smart" strategists. If An Cui was too smart and capable, it would make the scholar seem too stupid and useless.
An Cui was well aware of this little trick to suppress him.
Anyway, he did not need the Red Lotus Group's attention. Whether he put in a good word for him or not, it did not mean much to him.
The Red Lotus Group's leader trusted the scholar more, and An Cui could not match this trust in a short period of time.
As 007 that Jiang Pengji had planted, An Cui needed the Red Lotus Group's leader to believe his words without a doubt. The scholar was the best mouthpiece.
As expected, the scholar turned around and reported to the Red Lotus Group's leader. He modified An Cui's words and shifted them to his own results, not mentioning An Cui's existence at all.
The Red Lotus Group's leader was a stocky man who was less than five feet tall. His face was full of pockmarks, and to hide his ugliness, he kept a full beard. He and the scholar were from the same hometown. Before the uprising, they were on good terms. After the uprising, he trusted the scholar.
He pinched his beard and muttered to himself for a while.
"We'll do as you say. I want to see what Liu Xi is capable of to dare offend a god!"
As mentioned before, the Tsing Yi Army were bandits, and the Red Lotus Group were bandits with faith.
This leader claimed to be the incarnation of a god who descended to save the people.
But in reality …
Before he became the incarnation of a god, he was just a random doctor who had studied medicine for a few years.
By chance, he had obtained a copy of the sect's "doctrine" that had been passed down during the chaotic times of the Sixteen Kingdoms. After reading it, he felt that it made sense and spread it everywhere. However, the ancient books did not specify which sect it was, so he simply named it after his hometown, Red Lotus District.
After a few years, he had accumulated a group of believers in his hometown, Red Lotus District, which laid the foundation for the uprising that followed.
Coincidentally, there was an earthquake in Shangjing. The royal family moved the capital, disregarding the lives of the people. He simply raised the doctrine and led his followers in rebellion.
If the Red Lotus Group had been lucky and had not been stopped by the Tsing Yi Army, it was estimated that the Red Lotus Group would have spread throughout the north.
It was a pity that luck was not on their side.
The Tsing Yi Army suddenly emerged as a new force, and they fought too fiercely with the Red Lotus Group in the north.
In the end, no one could do anything to the other, and no one could develop and grow stronger. Instead, it benefited Jiang Pengji.
Because of his advice, the scholar received a large reward. This also strengthened his desire to continue suppressing An Cui.
However, in order to maintain such a "high standard" of intelligence, he still needed An Cui to be his gunman.
In order to further gain the scholar's trust, An Cui then helped him solve two more problems.
In the eyes of the Red Lotus Group, their military counselor seemed to have turned on a cheat code. His body shone even more brightly.
At the same time, Jiang Pengji had already made preparations for the expedition. The allocated rations were abundant, and the selected soldiers were also elites. Even though they stood in the cold wind, their postures were still tall and straight.
Jiang Pengji stepped onto the platform and officially announced that she would be the commander-in-chief of the Vanguard Battalion.
This time, Li Yun was also promoted from deputy captain to captain. He led the right wing and coordinated with the Vanguard Battalion and the middle troops.
This time, Meng Hun stayed behind to look after the home. Luo Yue was responsible for the transportation of rations in the rear and shouldered various logistical matters.
Dian Yan was appointed deputy captain of the Vanguard Battalion and charged forward with Jiang Pengji.
The women's battalion led by Jiang Nongqin was the vanguard to support the Vanguard Battalion's offensive tactics.
As for the strategists who would follow the army, Jiang Pengji considered the few people under her command and finally chose Yang Si.
Qiguan Rang would oversee the middle troops, Wei Ci and Xu Ke would stay behind to look after the home, and Yang Si would follow the army into battle.
When Yang Si learned of the results, he could not help but be speechless and gasp in surprise.
"I really don't know if your lord is magnanimous or broad-minded. She even dares to put someone in an important position who has yet to surrender."
Wei Ci laughed and said, "Naturally, the lord trusts the people she dares to use. What's more, you're the one who came up with the plan for the surprise attack this time. If I don't bring you along, who will I bring along? It's just that … I heard that the mountain road is treacherous. Jing Rong, you must be careful. "
Yang Si's face darkened, like the ashes at the bottom of a pot.
