Shen Ling looked at Anzhou Zhou Mu and said softly, "Lord Zhou Mu, I know you have confidence in me, but..."

Shen Ling hesitated.

The last time he helped Anzhou state shepherd was because the Qingshan Ma Bandit Uprising threatened Qihua City and the village of Tsuen. At that time, he was equivalent to rushing ducks to the shelves. In fact, he had no strategy at all.

But this time, those bandits who revolted grew wiser.

He really can't guarantee that he will come back with a big victory.

Looking at Shen Ling, Anzhou Zhoumu sighed: "I know Shen Gongzi's concerns, but I don't have a talent who can fully command these soldiers."

"There are so many bandits in Anju, do I want to keep them?"

"no!"

"In the past few years, I have sent troops to suppress the bandits every year, but every year thousands of soldiers die in the mountains and forests. Those bandits are not afraid when they see officers and soldiers."

"It's not that I don't want to clean them up, it's that I can't do it!"

"If Brother Yang hadn't recommended you to me before, saying that you would practice soldiers, I wouldn't have come to this small place on purpose."

"Young Master Shen, you mustn't just watch Anzhou get burned!"

"I still have two years left to retire and return home. Before that, please help me, Mr. Shen."

Anzhou Zhou Mu said a lot, but Shen Ling could only keep nodding.

He vaguely understood the meaning of the Anzhou governor, that is, Emperor Dagan put a lot of pressure on the Anzhou governor, and the territory of Anzhou was not very peaceful.

Therefore, the Anju state shepherd regarded him as a life-saving straw.

But is this really possible?

"let me try."

Shen Ling nodded, and then said softly, "When will those people arrive?"

Anzhou Zhou Mu thought for a while: "It is estimated that it will be February."

"February."

Shen Ling nodded, which meant that there was still a full month.

There is only the lunar calendar here, and the second month of the lunar calendar is spring.

In other words, the snow had basically started to melt at that time, and there would be no problem with the advance of the cavalry.

"I see."

Shen Ling responded.

Although there is a gap between 30,000 and 100,000, but if the bandits are still the same as before, 30,000 versus 100,000 is actually not too much of a problem.

After all, the rabble is nothing to be afraid of.

Anzhou state shepherd returned.

Shen Ling opened the map of Anzhou and looked at the land bordering Yuzhou at the bottom.

The map shows that there is a continuous mountain range.

And along the official road, they can only return to Anfeng City.

Anfeng City…

That was the only city in Shen Ling that didn't kill anyone.

Because before Shen Ling entered the city, those bandits had already headed towards Yuzhou from Anfeng City.

Now, will they come back?

Shen Ling muttered.

If the city was forcibly attacked with a force of 100,000 people, it would not be a problem for those bandits to capture Anfeng City.

However, if some soldiers are stationed in Anfeng City ahead of time, then the problem of sticking to Anfeng City will not be a big problem.

However, if the 100,000 bandits entered the forest, it would not be easy to fight.

After all, it is the home of others, and it can be hidden anywhere.

There were only a few people he could call, so letting those officers and soldiers enter the forest was tantamount to sending them off.

Thinking about it, Shen Ling's light flashed!

Since guarding Anfeng City is easy to fight, he will find a way to let those bandits attack Anfeng City.

But, how can we let them attack the city...

Gotta get some temptation!

money…

no!

Although bandits are all greedy for money, if the information is as simple as money, those bandits may not fall for it.

On the contrary, it is possible to be alert.

There is!

After thinking for a long time, Shen Ling suddenly thought.

Those bandits don't have any weapons, and things like bows, arrows, swords, swords, and halberds are definitely in short supply.

Then, use this kind of thing to tempt them...

Hope it works!

Mid-January.

Anzhou prefecture mobilized people, and at Shen Ling's request, 3,000 people entered Anfeng City first.

At the same time, a large number of tightly wrapped carriages also entered Anfeng City from all directions.

Some rumors spread at this time.

Rumor 1: There is a batch of restricted-level weapons in Anfeng City, and they are transporting them to Yuzhou.

Rumor 2: There are treasures left by the rebels in Anfeng City, and they must be transported out at this time.

Rumor 3: There are weapons collected in Anfeng City, and they will be transported back to Anzhou City.

Some rumors began to ferment.

A few days later.

At this time, Shen Ling also came to Anfeng City.

Anfeng City is very big and can accommodate a lot of people, but if those rebel bandits don't take the bait, it would be uncomfortable for so many people to crowd in the city.

"Report!"

A scout returns to report information.

"Say."

Shen Ling spoke softly.

The scout respectfully said, "I found the traces of those bandits. They are located in the mountains five kilometers outside of Anfeng City, and they are resting there."

"Send my order and let everyone pay attention to concealment."

Shen Ling said softly.

"Yes!" The scout nodded.

After a while, another scout came back: "Report, those bandits turned around and headed west."

"Report, those bandits entered the forest!"

The pieces of information made Shen Ling's face a little serious.

It seems that his temptation information has no effect, and those bandits are quite alert.

But as long as those bandits don't come out...

He's really not good at doing it. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Two more days passed.

After mobilizing troops several times, Shen Ling discovered the problem.

That is, every move of the army seems to be being monitored, no matter where the army goes, those bandits will avoid it.

Obviously, there are more thieves, but the other side just avoided fighting. As for the stupid order to enter the forest, Shen Ling didn't want to give it.

There was no other way, he could only let three thousand people stay in Anfeng City to prevent those bandits from splitting up to attack.

Then, Shen Ling gave a somewhat strange order.

Break it down to zero!

If the other party can know the location of his 30,000 army, then he will disperse the 30,000 army...

In this way, he sees how the other party plays.

"Report!"

Two days later, the scout came to report again, "Those bandits are starting to attack Anzhou City."

"coming!"

Shen Ling's eyes lit up.

He knew that the bandits couldn't wait long.

Unlike regular officers and soldiers, bandits have no logistical support at all.

A team of 100,000 people consumes an astronomical amount of food every day.

Once the food is exhausted, that's when the bandit starts!

"Assemble the army."

Shen Ling gave the order, "Go!"

In the past, it was divided into parts, but now it is divided into wholes. Except for the 3,000 people who stayed in Anfeng City, the remaining 27,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry were rearranged.

"kill!"

When the defenders and the bandits began to fight under the city of Anfeng City, a group of cavalry appeared behind the bandits.

At the same time, a large number of officers and soldiers appeared on the road on both sides.

The trend of encirclement has been completed!
