Chapter 161: The Wayward Factory Governor
"It's our house"
Chang Yu raised his head and laughed: "Mr. Zhou, your feet are really fast."
"Hey, I said Grandpa Chang, you, you, can you save a snack, you dare to go outside in the middle of the night, hurry up and enter the city."
Zhou Yuji was a little stammering, and the news of Chang Yu's men entering the city soon reached his ears, and the two people who were discussing with Niu Yong hurriedly came out of the county office to greet them, but they were told that the factory had gone to inspect outside the city.
As soon as he heard the news, Zhou Yuji suddenly hey, and quickly asked Niu Yong to take the people out of the city to look for it, and he climbed the city wall to find Chang Yu's figure, but it was a coincidence that he saw Chang Yu as soon as he climbed up.
"Why don't you dare, the soldiers can be on duty outside, what is there to be afraid of our family"
Chang Yu said with a smile.
"Can it be the same?"
Zhou Yuji sighed: "In this seemingly calm night, murderous opportunities are lurking everywhere, and Father-in-law Chang hurried back to the city."
"Hehe, it's exciting enough to kill all around, and it's only to our taste, Mr. Zhou doesn't treat our family as a talented man who has no power to fight" Chang Yu sneered.
Zhou Yuji suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, this factory governor is still a teenager, relying on his fists and feet to be good, his eyes are empty, but he doesn't know that the two armies meet, the kind of life-and-death fight and the competition are completely different things.
As soon as Chang Yu turned around the southeast corner, he met Niu Yong with more than 300 people coming in a hurry, and saw that he was in a hurry to dismount and salute, but Chang Yu waved his hand to stop him and returned to the city side by side.
Jiaocheng is almost empty, 90% of the people have been evacuated, and less than 10% of the people are still in ink, but they are also evacuating.
In addition, the 2,000 pioneers led by Niu Yong, except for some patrol posts on the city and hundreds of people guarding the north gate of the only entrance, all the rest were stationed outside the southern city, setting up open piles and secret sentry defense lines.
At this time, there were only more than 100 personal soldiers of him and Zhou Yuji in the city, but at this time, there were more than 300 people brought by Chang Yu.
Chang Yu's more than 300 troops, two guards and one army each have 100 people, and only more than ten Jinyiwei people are used to lead the way to collect and send intelligence, after all, this is their strength, Taiyuan refugees are too many, and a large number of Jinyi guards are needed to secretly maintain stability, plus Jinyiwei is not good at fighting, so he didn't bring more.
More than 300 people come from the three departments, each with a temporary commander, but they all obey Teng Xiangwei's 100 households named Duan Wuhu, which is designated by Chang Yu, and others have no objections, because Teng Xiangwei is the most experienced in actual combat among them, and the most good at riding and archery.
This time, they went to the front line with Chang Yu to experience and train, to make meritorious contributions, and to come to the silver.
The houses near the south gate have long been empty, and this place is close to the city gate, so you can go to the city at any time to look and observe, and you can also go out of the city at any time to deal with various emergencies, so the houses here were requisitioned and became a temporary camp for Chang Yu's subordinates.
After settling his subordinates, Chang Yu went to the county government with Zhou Yuji Niu Yong, and the county lord of Jiaocheng had withdrawn to Taiyuan, and the government was requisitioned as the headquarters.
An empty city, with no light on the dark streets, not even a wild dog or wild cat, like a ghost town.
Chang Yu couldn't help but shudder, even though there were as many as a hundred people around him plus Zhou Niu's entourage.
The two big lanterns at the entrance of the county government were hung high, which should be the only bright spot in the city, and more than 20 guards at the gate were on duty with their necks bent, and when they saw Chang Yu and others, they quickly stood up straight.
"The two adults make do with it, there is no good tea, even if these teas are found in the county office"
In the back hall, Niu Yong made a pot of hot tea and made a cup for each of Chang Er.
Zhou Yuji smiled and didn't speak.
"It's good to warm up with a little heat, it's not so demanding" Chang Yu smiled faintly and took a sip of the teacup, and then looked at Zhou Yujidao.
"Mr. Zhou, what is the situation here, and how to deal with it?"
Zhou Yuji straightened his face and said: "The thief army broke the Fenzhou Mansion and should rest for a few days at this time, so it is peaceful for the time being, our troops will be in place tonight, and there is still time to arrange it strictly."
"How?"
Chang Yu asked again.
"Take Jiaocheng as a base, leave 30,000 troops to deal with the frontal thief army, arrange a defensive line to the east to Qi County, and use Nan'an Village as a mobile point in the middle to place 5,000 troops, and support at both ends at any time, of course, the big river in the north of the city is our last line of defense, and Jiaocheng can be abandoned at any time."
Immediately, Niu Yong added: "At the same time, we will release clear sentry and secret agents to prevent the infiltration of a small group of thieves and spies."
Chang Yu was silent, took a few sips of the teacup, and said slowly: "The thief army will not give us so much time to arrange"
"Why is the factory so sure?"
Niu Yong was puzzled.
"You see that the thief army has been going north since coming to the Yellow River, except for Pingyang Mansion, the rest of the cities have stayed to rest, if our family is not bad, the thief army broke the Fenzhou Mansion today, Ming'er will raise troops to the north, and will not give us a chance to breathe at all."
Zhou Yuji and Niu Yong immediately frowned and thought deeply.
The reason why Chang Yu is so sure is not that there is any intelligence, but that according to historical data, the thief army broke the Fenzhou Mansion on the second day of the second month of February, and arrived in Taiyuan on the sixth day of the first month, and the two places are separated by more than 300 miles.
"It seems that the situation is more serious than we thought"
Zhou Yuji raised his eyebrows and looked at Niu Yong.
Niu Yong bit his lip and nodded slightly: "It seems that I don't have to sleep tonight."
Chang Yu laughed: "The real test is tomorrow, the thief army broke through the Fenzhou Mansion today, as we expected, the thief army arrived in Wenshui County, and at that time, there will definitely be a lot of disguised spies going north with the refugees, and the two of you have to keep your eyes open."
"I'm afraid that the factory master is still bad," Niu Yong said suddenly.
Chang Yu frowned.
Niu Yong continued: "Today, during the day, I sent multiple spies to the south, but in Wenshui, we also encountered multiple bandit spies, and the two sides fought fiercely, and each suffered casualties."
"You mean to say that Wenshui is actually under the control of the thief army now, and our manpower can't get in?" Chang Yu asked with an eyebrow.
"Exactly, I'm afraid that the vanguard of the thief army has already occupied Wenshui and began to infiltrate northward, but although our people can't get past Wenshui, they can't get through either."
Niu Yong sneered.
"The thief army just got off the Fenzhou Mansion today, and the refugees fled north at this time, but Ming'er is different, there must be a lot of Wenshui refugees who heard the news, and then the thieves' spies will infiltrate with these refugees, even as far as Taiyuan."
"Come on, let's come, but how can we arrest and kill people" Chang Yu also sneered, "But since the thieves can come here, our manpower can't get over there, wouldn't it be a shame."
Zhou Yuji and Niu Yong glanced at each other when they heard this, and showed doubts, is this little eunuch going to be a demon again, and is there anyone who compares this to face?
"Our family decided to bring some people and go to Wenshui to see it in person," Chang Yu said suddenly.
"No!"
Zhou Yuji was shocked, and stood up when he heard the words: "It is already an adventure for the factory to come here, and Wenshui is already under the control of the thief army, and the factory is not in danger again."
Niu Yong also nodded in agreement and strongly objected.
The opposition was expected by Chang Yu, but it could not stop his natural adventurous spirit.
"General Zhou Bing, let's speak first, you take care of military affairs, Governor Cai is in charge of civil affairs, and our family is in charge of money, food and logistics" Chang Yu looked at the two of them with a faint expression and said:
"Now that Taiyuan has sufficient food and salary, it shows that our family is not derelict in our duties, and what our family wants to do after being competent, Mr. Zhou seems to have no reason to stop it, let alone talk about the nonsense that a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall."
"Factory father, humble duty is not to point right and wrong, but the factory company's move is too dangerous, and the factory company can know that in one day, more than 40 spies in the army were killed, and more people were injured."
Zhou Yuji said with a solemn face.
In one day, more than 40 people died, and the fact that this type of soldier is really dangerous and abnormal, Chang Yu's face is heavy: "From now on, the salary for not collecting money at night will increase tenfold, and it will be paid every day, and the pension for the deceased will be 100 taels, and the subsidy for the injured will range from 50."
"The factory company's move is determined to boost morale"
Zhou Yuji breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Chang Yu was frightened.
"But our family has made up our minds, Mr. Zhou don't waste saliva, although this trip is dangerous, but you can take risks if you don't collect it at night, why can't our family, people will die and hang upward, and they will not die for thousands of years, and our family is not a person with a thin life."
Chang Yu looked arrogant, and when Zhou Yuji saw him say this, he knew that it would be useless to persuade him, so he had to sigh and sit down.
However, Niu Yong's expression next to him was very unnatural, touching his nose with a smile instead of a smile, and the dead bird was facing upward, but where did the eunuch come from.
Although the thief army went north to Taiyuan, although the main force took the west road Fenzhou Mansion, but the east road naturally had to have a partial division side by side, although Qi County had arranged two thousand men and horses, but it was a little thin, Chang Yu and the three of them totaled, and waited until the arrival of the reinforcement army to send some people to support.
But after all, Jiaocheng is facing the main force of the thief army, and if it is too much, it will seem that the troops are insufficient, so Chang Yu knocked on the side, and Yang Zhenwei and He Chengxin, who stayed in Taiyuan City, were available.
Zhou Yuji pondered for a while, and finally nodded and asked him to send 5,000 troops to support the Eastern Front.
Due to the urgency of the situation, coupled with the continuous arrival of support troops from Taiyuan, and the busy military affairs, Zhou Yuji and the three of them were destined to have a sleepless night tonight.
After another half an hour, Zhou Yuji Niu bravely went out of the city to meet the reinforcements and set up the task, and Chang Yu also returned to the camps in the south of the city.
Zhou Yuji knew that he was very likely to go out of the city tonight, and knew that he couldn't care about him, so he had to let him do whatever he wanted, and he was also extremely emotional, this factory governor was really wonderful, and which of those eunuchs who supervised the army was not the one who pointed fingers after the battle, was greedy for life and afraid of death before the battle, and acted as a blessing on weekdays, and ran away when the situation was not good.
And this factory governor's words and deeds are different, do not put on a show and do not pay attention to it, the city tower is laid on the ground, a bowl of mutton soup can satisfy hunger, and more importantly, military affairs do not hinder the generals, do not point fingers, but like to run to the front line, and now they have to go deep behind enemy lines, play!
