The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions
Chapter 584: Before the war
[Third more. 】
Wuxi Prefecture, Xuanfeng County, Tengcun.
Due to its proximity to the mountainous area, Xuanfeng County was the worst victim during the Wuxi Barbarian rebellion. In only ten months, the Han population in the county dropped by more than 20%, and countless people were displaced.
And this village of Teng was even more devastated.
On the morning of November 15th, the sky will not be bright.
Strolling among the ruined walls, smelling the faintly rancid smell in the cold air, Sun Shaozong's eyes kept patrolling.
"grown ups."
At this time, Lu Jianxing rushed over from the entrance of the village in a stride and reported, "The bones found in the village have been buried, a total of 172, including 93 males and 36 females. People, infants...forty-three infants."
"Judging from the various traces, a considerable number of women should have been looted by the Tongxi barbarians."
Having said that, he stopped and waited for a while, and saw that Sun Shaozong had no intention to speak, so he took the initiative to ask: "My lord, do you think we need to simply erect a monument first? If there are villagers coming back in the future, it's okay... "
"Don't hurry."
Sun Shaozong shook his head slightly: "When we come out of the mountain, it will not be too late to erect a monument."
According to the guide, this Fujimura was very kind to the barbarians on the mountain, and even matched each other as brothers and uncles. Who knows that in the end, he still failed to escape the chaos of the war.
And eradicating Sun Shaozong's inquest just now, this Fujimura not only did not escape the war, but was probably slaughtered by a friend on the mountain in the first place.
Because based on the traces left on the scene, it is very likely that the other party opened the Zhaimen in a big manner, and then raised the butcher knife to the unprepared villagers.
In such circumstances, it is naturally only possible that people they are familiar with at the beginning of the rebellion made the killing.
"grown ups."
At this time, someone rushed over again, but it was the Shen Lian who had been severely beaten by Sun Shaozong in the first place.
Just listen to him bowing to report: "The surrounding sentries have been set up. Do you think we are camping outside the village, or..."
"Just set up camp in the village, and no fire notification is allowed. Tomorrow Yin is forming a team [four o'clock in the morning] and enter the mountain at Mao!"
"Humble job, let's arrange it!"
Shen Lian turned and wanted to leave, but he heard Sun Shaozong add another sentence at the end: "If you have a clear explanation, come back to the village to discuss matters."
"Humble duty."
Shen Lian Gujing responded without wave, but his pace was a little faster unconsciously.
About two quarters of an hour later, Shen Lian hurried back, only to see that under the camphor tree in the village mouth, there were already officers above the rank of the army commander [Eight rank, Tonglong Guardian flag].
He stepped forward to salute Sun Shaozong, and took the marching Mazar himself, and sat beside Lu Jianxing.
Seeing that everyone was there, Sun Shaozong raised his chin, and Wang Zhen immediately took out two maps. One was placed in front of Sun Shaozong, and the other was passed on to Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian and others.
After everyone had read it, Sun Shaozong said: "Our goal this time is Wuerzhai nearby. According to the guide's judgment, there are about 24 or Wulishan roads. If you leave early in the morning, it will take about three. You can arrive at an hour or so around noon."
"The power of Wuerzhai ranks third in Tongxi Man, second only to Wallengzhai and Duosizhai. There are about 600 adults in Dingzhuang."
"Wuerzhai is built in the mountains, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but because of this, the defensive facilities built by the barbarians themselves are not very strong."
"There is only one mountain road in and out of Wuerzhai, so only 50 people need to be separated and guards can be set up along the road. The force we can use to attack the cottage is two hundred and fifty people left."
"This Wuerzhai has an oblate shape as a whole."
"At that time, the official will lead the team to make a surprise attack to open the gap, and then Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian will divide the east and west to sweep the barbarians. Remember to be steady and ruthless, and don't let the other party organize effective resistance."
"The officer will guard the gate when the time comes. If there is something in the east and west roads, he will go to support him personally."
"When there is no obvious resistance in the village, the ministries are not allowed to fight, set fire everywhere in the village, and after poisoning the well water, immediately withdraw from Wuerzhai."
"Then the officer will determine the next action based on the loss and the time spent in the raid."
"and also……"
"Again..."
Sun Shaozong was so eloquent, breaking apart and talking about the action to be carried out tomorrow, poured two mouthfuls of water, and waited for everyone to digest and absorb, then he said again: "Who has any doubts, you can talk about it now. come out."
However, everyone below you look at me and I look at you, but they didn't mean to speak.
It seems that it is impossible to expect them to make some constructive comments.
"since……"
Sun Shaozong sighed inwardly, and waited to get up to announce his dissolution.
"grown ups!"
Unexpectedly, Shen Lian stood up first, and said, "There is something unclear about the humble duty."
Sun Shaozong just lifted his ass, did it again, and said: "Say!"
Shen Lian was not polite, ignoring Lu Jianxing's discouraging eyes, and said loudly: "According to the situation heard by the humble investigator, Na Wallang Village is the leader of the Tongxi Barbarian Clan. There are no more than 1,000 young people in the village, and there are no more than 500 people around it. There are also two villages, if they can't be held for a while, they will be easily attacked by barbarians.
"Therefore, the adults do not choose Corrugated Village. The humble position is understandable."
"But Naduosi Village is not only closer, the Qingzhuang and Wuerzhai in the clan are almost the same, but it is also built on a flat terrain, and it should be easier to break through than the Corrugated Village."
"But why do adults want to stay close and seek far, leaving Duosizhai not to choose, and have to chew on the hard bone of Wuerzhai?"
Obviously, he had also inquired about the geography and situation of this neighborhood privately.
Based on this alone, Shen Lian was much better than others.
However, the latter words are already almost questioned.
Seeing that Wang Zhen beside Sun Shaozong had changed color, Lu Jianxing stood up hurriedly and explained in fear: "My lord, he is just..."
"It's okay~lightnovelpub.net~ Sun Shaozong waved his hand and said: "Since it's a discussion, I should have talked freely. "
Then, he reached out and knocked on the map, and asked: "Shen Baihu, take a look first, what is the conflict between the plan I just laid out and the topography of this Duosizhai."
Plan conflicts with terrain?
Shen Lian was stunned when he heard the words, before he was busy with another one, bowed his head, stared carefully for a while, and suddenly said: "I understand! Duosizhai is near Tongxi. If you want to poison in the living water, I'm afraid It's not that easy!"
"Yes!"
Sun Shaozong stood up suddenly: "Our first battle is to give the barbarians a blow, and then play a deterrent and warning role. In order to maximize the effect, the best way is to destroy the foundation of the barbarian settlement!"
"In this way, the barbarians naturally have to move around, and by the way, spread the panic to more tribes!"
"The pollution of water sources is one of the foundations for the implementation of this plan!"
