Chapter 140 Pre-War Arrangements
In the mayor's mansion, Jia Nian sat on the main seat and looked around.

"That's how things are. How much do you think it's better for us to send troops?" Jia Nian asked Liu Ye.

Liu Ye replied without thinking: "Send 100 troops"

"One hundred?" Fatty Guo asked subconsciously. It must be known that the upper limit of the military camp's strength is one hundred.If it wasn't for subduing those water thieves, it could almost be said to be the entire force of the town.

Liu Ye nodded: "There are 150 troops in the town, but in the eyes of the white sail pirates, 100 is our total strength. So I propose to send [-] troops to show that we are doing our best."

"Is it a little too much?" Jia Nian said slowly, knowing that Zheng Bao was staring at him, sending too many troops, wouldn't Changhe Town be empty.

Then the conversation changed and he expressed his concerns: "I'm afraid it's not right to rely on 50 soldiers."

"Fifty soldiers are enough," Liu Ye replied firmly.

Immediately afterwards, he seemed to think of something, and asked the two of them, "Do you think the white sail pirate is really asking for help?"

"Isn't it?" Jia Nian asked in confusion.

A smile appeared on the corner of Liu Ye's mouth: "They are not asking for help, but because they are afraid."

"Afraid?" Jia Nian and Guo Dapang looked at each other puzzledly, showing puzzled eyes.There is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, and it is hard to imagine what there is to be afraid of.

Liu Ye explained in detail: "The old, weak, women and children in our town are all family members of the white sail pirates. If they turn against each other at this critical moment, what do you think they will react?"

"How could the enemy turn against him?" Jia Nian shook his head.

Liu Ye smiled: "Don't be in a hurry to refute, if the mayor is the head of the Baifan water thief, would you have such doubts?"

"For example, after learning that the prefect returned to aid, Changhe Town suddenly turned its back and launched an attack on Baifan Water Village," Liu Ye slowly reminded.

Jia Nian thought along these words: "The prefect returns to help? Let's defect."

"In the past, there was an army under the command of the prefect, and later, Changhe Town turned its back. At that time, the Baifan water bandit learned that the lives of his parents, wife and children were hanging by a thread, what would he do?" Liu Ye guided slowly.

Guo Dapang blurted out without hesitation: "Baifan Water Village will be in chaos."

"What's next?" Liu Ye asked.

Jia Nian took this sentence and replied: "The prefect will take advantage of the chaos to attack and wipe out this cancer entrenched in Chaohu Lake in one fell swoop."

"No, the prefect will stand still and watch the internal turmoil of the Baifan Shui bandits, and then send troops to help Shouchun," Liu Ye replied.

Guo Dapang and Jia Nian were taken aback at the same time: "If that's the case, why do you say that the Baifan water thief is afraid of us?"

"Because I don't dare to gamble." Liu Ye spit out these words, and then continued: "If the mayor can lead a hundred soldiers to help, it will definitely dispel their doubts."

"After all, there are soldiers in the town. Firstly, they can be hostages, and secondly, they can also increase the strength of Baifanshui village. For the mayor, it is also an opportunity, a chance to buy the hearts of Baifanshui thieves." Liu Ye said heavily with.

Jia Nian suddenly thought of the 190 nine pirates led by Liu Ye: "Buying people's hearts? How to buy people's hearts?"

"You don't need to deliberately make friends, you just need to work hard to kill the enemy. At this critical moment, I believe they will feel grateful. After all, the wives and children are all in the town." Liu Ye emphasized the tone of the last sentence.

Jia Nian understood in an instant, and it seemed that Liu Ye had already laid down his hands: "Don't make friends on purpose?"

"En" Liu Ye responded, and told Jia Nian: "After the mayor enters the Baifan Water Village, I guess the head of the Baifan Water Village will not trust the Mayor. He will always be on guard against you. At this time Staying true to your duty is the best choice.”

Hearing Liu Ye's exhortation, Jia Nian secretly kept it in his heart, and then thought of an important matter.

"I want to ask you one thing," Jia Nian said sincerely.

Liu Ye was taken aback for a moment, showing a puzzled look: "What is it worth asking for?"

"When I'm not in town, you'll be in charge of everything," Jia Nian said solemnly.

Liu Ye shook his head: "It might be better to leave it to Fatty Guo."

"I plan to help Baifan Water Village together with Jia Nian, so this matter can only be left to you," Fatty Guo said quickly.

Hearing Guo Dapang's reply, Liu Ye fell into deep thought: "If I am in full charge of Changhe Town, the first thing I will do is to dismantle the barracks and shrink the troops. I wonder if it is possible?"

"Under the current situation, shrinking troops is the most sensible choice, so I agree with your decision," Jia Nian replied without thinking.

Liu Ye stood up and bowed to Jia Nian: "Since the mayor trusts me so much, I will accept it."

"As for the soldiers on this expedition, I wonder how the mayor will arrange them?" Liu Ye asked.

Jia Nian replied without hesitation: "Take the surrendered water bandits as the main force, and temporarily dispatch [-] soldiers to help the Baifan water bandits."

"No way," Liu Ye said loudly.

Guo Dapang was taken aback, isn't this the best arrangement?So without waiting for Jia Nian to speak out, he asked Liu Ye, "Why?"

"These people were all purchased from the White Sail Water Pirates. If the subdued water pirates were the main force, wouldn't it be a little inappropriate?" Liu Ye asked.

Jia Nian reacted in an instant, and a moment of fear appeared behind her back.If the white sail water thief found that most of the soldiers rushing to help were unfamiliar faces, would he think of something bad? .If so, wouldn't it be entering the tiger's mouth.

Seeing Jia Nian's expression, Liu Ye explained slowly: "I think it's the best strategy to send the main force there and select [-] of the water thieves who surrendered not long ago to make up the quota."

"Will... those water thieves who surrendered take the opportunity to make trouble?" Jia Nian was a little worried.

A smile appeared on the corner of Liu Ye's mouth: "The family is in your hands, what can you do?"

"Besides, it is beneficial to do so. You need to be cautious in Baifan Water Village, but Sun Deqiu and they don't have so many worries. Is it natural to walk around and visit old friends? If you accidentally say something about the town Will something wonderful happen if I learn about the current situation of my wife and children?" Liu Ye asked back.

Jia Nian subconsciously repeated: "Visiting an old friend? Human nature?"

"Buying people's hearts?" Jia Nian responded.

Fatty Guo couldn't help but click his tongue. He seemed to feel the real gap between himself and the top strategists.So subconsciously sighed: "It's really insidious."

"..." Liu Ye was speechless for a moment, was he insidious?This is a conspiracy, okay?

Jia Nian looked at Liu Ye: "After I lead the soldiers in the town to leave, Changhe Town will entrust you."

"Just don't worry." Liu Ye solemnly spit out these four words.

Jia Nian stood up and shouted to the outside: "Where are Tang Gaoming, Tang Yanqing, Sun Deqiu, and Gu Enze?"

"Zai" the four people who had been guarding the door for a long time roared in unison, and all of them strode in wearing armor and leather armor.

Jia Nian looked around at the four people and then ordered: "Pack up your bags and lead the soldiers of our team and follow me to help Baifan Water Village tomorrow morning."

"No" Tang Gaoming, Tang Yanqing, Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze took orders in unison.
