After the whole sect traveled to ancient times, I led the rebellion

Zhuge Huaian and Xiang Quan were both in Mu Wu's team, while Shen Moyan was in Tietou's team.

Just as they were approaching the main city of Anping, Zhuge Huaian asked Mu Wu to send out a team of scouts.

Zhuge Huaian had been following the team for so long and only then did he realize that the soldiers led by Mu Wu were almost the same as the officers' soldiers. In fact, according to his opinion.

The soldiers from Huangxian are stronger than the government soldiers.

The soldiers in Huang County were strictly disciplined. As long as Mu Wu gave an order, his soldiers would follow suit.

Zhuge Huaian was secretly satisfied.

The training of these soldiers was completed in accordance with the military training indicators.

With this kind of training, no matter how poorly they behaved before, their behavior could be regulated within three days when they arrive at the barracks.

Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. Every soldier has his or her own duties and they do not need to highlight themselves.

In the army, only those who can understand orders and strictly execute them can be considered soldiers.

Unfortunately, there are not enough war horses in Huang County, and only a few generals own war horses. Otherwise, such an army of steel-armored soldiers equipped with war horses would be even stronger.

The scout team is composed of soldiers who are agile and prioritize speed.

Three quarters of a second later, the scout who went to gather information returned.

"Report, enemies spotted ahead, suspected to be migrant soldiers."

"Rebellious militia?"

"The enemy was mostly thin, the barracks were in disarray, the soldiers did not wear uniforms, and their flags had the word 'civilian' on them."

Such distinctive flag symbols plus their body shapes and appearances have confirmed that this group of soldiers are migrant militia.

"Militia soldiers appeared near the main city of Anping. Are there any signs of fighting?"

"Have."

The returning scout continued:

"There are bloodstains on the walls of Anping's main city. This wave of soldiers should have attacked the city. Their current number is about 3,000."

They should have directly confronted the garrison of Anping Prefecture, but instead encountered the migrant soldiers who came to attack the city.

Zhuge Huaian frowned, the worst situation had happened.

Mu Wu looked at Zhuge Huaian:

"Sir, outside the city are refugee soldiers, and inside the city are the soldiers we want to attack. There are enemies both inside and outside. The garrison of one prefecture is around 2,000 to 3,000. The strength of the two camps is about 5,000."

Mu Wu actually already had an idea in his mind. It would be difficult to take down such a force with just their team alone, but if they allowed the two waves of troops to consume the energy, they could reap the benefits.

If the militia attacked the city, one side's forces would be completely wiped out.

In this way, the number of enemies they face will be smaller, and they can easily capture Anping with only one thousand soldiers.

Mu Wu said what he was thinking.

Zhuge Huaian picked up the feather fan and was about to wave it, but stopped when he thought of its weight:

"Your idea has its merits, but also its drawbacks."

"I hope you can help me solve this problem."

"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman can benefit. The timing of gaining the benefit is crucial. You chose to fight the stronger of the two, but this is not a fight between the snipe and the clam."

Zhuge Huaian changed the subject:

"There are still ordinary people in Anping City. The refugee soldiers are acting arrogantly. Once they enter the city, the people in the city will encounter unexpected events."

"In Huang County, every citizen is considered a mature labor force."

Zhuge Huaian learned the term "labor force" from Mu Qing. He felt that it was appropriate in this situation, so he used it.

"Similarly, the people in Anping City can also be counted as laborers. If one of the people is killed by the migrant soldiers, there will be one less laborer belonging to Anping Prefecture."

The dispute between the snipe and the clam involves three parties.

In fact, there is another group including Huangxian, refugees, officers and soldiers, and another group that Mu Wu has overlooked, and that is the people of Anping City.

The arrival of the militia did allow another force to intervene, which was also the worst case scenario that Zhuge Huaian and Mu Qing had thought of.

However, it only takes one move to turn the current situation around.

Zhuge Huaian has never been a saint. He is now Mu Qing's aide, so he will naturally consider Huang County.

He smiled slightly:

"The situation has changed now. The troops stationed in Anping are no longer enemies, but friends."

"Aren't the soldiers from the government? If we want to occupy the city, aren't we fighting with them for Anping Prefecture?"

Mu Wu scratched his head.

"No, we have to fight with them. As long as we win the hearts of the people, Anping Prefecture will naturally belong to the Lord."

Zhuge Huaian had read the government decrees of Huang County, and the 5,000 soldiers of Huang County were from the people of Huang County. It was only after meeting Mu Qing that he realized that the common people were looked down upon by the scholars and the powerful.

How powerful these ordinary people are.

The refugee soldiers who were plotting rebellion alone could capture two cities. Even with the refugee forces that appeared in Anping Prefecture, they would also capture Anping.

He who wins the hearts of the people can win the world.

Zhuge Huaian already understood half of the people's sentiment from Mu Qing's words.

He continued to look in the direction of Anping Prefecture:

"The refugees are our main enemy now. As long as we support the soldiers of Anping Prefecture and repel the refugees, the city gates will open to welcome us in."

"I know the general of the garrison. If there are no refugee soldiers, I will enter Anping Prefecture and design a plan to open the city gate, and then you can enter and fight with the officers and soldiers."

"The plan is not much different now, except that the garrison we supported in Anping should be considered their friendly forces."

Mu Wu was thoughtful. In this way, the garrison were friends rather than enemies, and they could enter the city smoothly. He looked at Zhuge Huaian with a little more admiration, just like he did for Mu Qing.

According to Zhuge Huaian's plan, they had to wait for the right time, preferably waiting for another team of soldiers led by Tietou to arrive.

Zhuge Huaian nodded, agreeing with Mu Wu's idea.

Not only did they have to wait for another team of soldiers, but they also had to wait for the other two teams of soldiers led by Mu Qing.

Zhuge Huaian took out a map, which detailed the official roads, terrain, and the distribution of counties in Anping Prefecture.

Zhuge Huaian was quite trusted by Zhou Jinwei and had access to official maps.

Combined with the map of the entire Anping Prefecture that Mu Qing had people drawing, we have the complete map that Zhuge Huaian has in his hands now.

Zhuge Huaian came to seek refuge with Mu Qing, and the Anping map was the sincerity he brought.

Zhuge Huaian pointed to three roads on the map.

"Now the letter is sent to the master at full speed. The soldiers from Huang County take the official road, while the soldiers led by Tietou take another long and narrow road. So the time of arrival is about the same."

"it is good."

Mu Wu followed Zhuge Huaian's instructions.

Their team of soldiers did not attack rashly, but before the main force arrived, Mu Wu still sent out a small group of soldiers to harass the militia.

In this way, the news of reinforcements was conveyed to the garrison in the city in disguise.

Zhuge Huaian had talent for strategy, but he had never led troops, so he did not interfere in matters of leading troops.

Mu Wu had the brave warrior Xiang Quan on his side, so he quickly asked Xiang Quan to lead a team, and asked the other six yamen runners to lead a team of soldiers each to attack the militia camp.

Small groups of soldiers roamed in the deep forest. They were small in number and were equipped with bows and arrows as well as steel knives.

Use bows and arrows as a lure to kill the migrant soldiers and then lure out the enemy.

The enemies that came out to meet them usually saw that there were not many soldiers in Mu Wu's team, so they did not send many people to attack.

The results were as expected.

These lured militiamen were quickly dealt with by the Huangxian soldiers wearing steel swords and steel armor.

In this back and forth struggle, the militia lost one or two hundred soldiers.

At this time, Mo Xuzhi, the general leading the militia, realized that something was wrong.
