"You're still ... All right? The veteran glanced at the sky, and the color of the starry sky began to fade, but the sun had not yet risen, and it was still early.

Yan Gang nodded expressionlessly: "Excuse me, I'm fine, I just can't sleep." ”

The veteran was in his forties, and before the Great War, he had seen too many restless guys. He glanced at Yan Gang's young face, and had some answers in his heart, shook his head slightly, turned over and fell into a deep sleep.

Yan Gang just exhaled deeply, and his gaze began to become determined.

The military lord who was willing to help him and help him avenge his wife against the overlord of the Mengyang area, the Luchuan Army, was the one he swore to repay with everything he had, and now he is no longer the Mangyun Village hunter Yan Gang in the past, but the commissioner of the Heavenly Hall of the Manggu Castle Secret Academy.

His task was to send the news from the front back to Mengyang City as soon as possible, and for this, he needed to run back and forth in the most dangerous places, but he did not waver.

··············

In Jiang Yugang's Mang Castle, there were many people like Yan Gang who acted under his arrangement. As the saying goes, a person dies for a confidant, life is an extremely complex and extremely simple existence, and the clever use of people to make choices will produce great power.

The Ming army was supposed to be such a righteous army, no matter where it was, it represented justice and drove those who pursued the justice and belief in their hearts to fight.

This concept cannot be said to be Jiang Yugang's originality, he was indeed influenced by some powerful countries from later generations, and some practices should actually be learned by the Ming Dynasty in this time and space.

There is a saying that the winner is king, and the loser is the villain. This sentence seems to be very negative, completely denying the objective justice, of course, the truth is not so simple and pure, but the winner is indeed closer to the side of the righteous, and under the criterion of victory and defeat, the more pure this victory, the greater the possibility that the winner will be pushed to the side of justice.

The reason for this lies in the initiative of the leaders of the winners and losers, and the victors have the conditions that are favorable to them, and it is easier for them to do things to give them justice, while on the contrary, the losers have few conditions and it is difficult to fight for justice for themselves.

However, under the actual conditions, pure victory is rare, and in this case, neither side has the absolute advantage, and there is a dynamic struggle for the rationality and justice of each other.

In the end, the manifestation of this dynamic competition is the competition for public opinion, and public opinion is actually a powerful means on the one hand, and on the other hand, there is also some meaning of abusing the final means. Compared with public opinion, which is a means of directly influencing people's inner thoughts, it is a more reasonable, more sustainable and more potential method to do practical things to influence people.

Jiang Yugang used such a method, he trained a large number of intelligence officers, and then collected all kinds of intelligence in almost every detail, and did background checks on the members of Mang Ancient Castle who had the conditions and qualifications to develop.

This kind of background check may be difficult to carry out in a peaceful place, or in a peaceful time, because a great deal of things are hidden in the shadows of all kinds of shelters created in peace, and it is difficult to pinpoint them.

However, in the war-torn and turbulent Luchuan, especially in the Mengyang area, it is very meaningful, and a large number of contradictions and conflicts unfold and erupt here, and constantly create more contradictions and conflicts.

In an extremely embarrassing situation, people should have tended to be numb and indifferent, but once this embarrassment becomes a complete outburst like Meng Yang, people's emotions will also explode completely, that is, in the so-called core area of the war, no one can survive, and everyone is swept into the storm and becomes a pawn.

The owners of some villages in the Mengyang area, these old talkers and managers, still have a glimmer of hope, hoping to survive between the Ming army and the Luchuan army, but at least maintain their power and the situation under their control.

But Jiang Yuyan gave them a clear answer, this is impossible, all the people of Luchuan in the Mengyang area should ignite the anger in their hearts, take up arms, join the side of the righteous Ming army, and fight the Luchuan army to the end.

And the people of Luchuan obviously don't have enough ability to calculate gains and losses, in fact, Jiang Yugang himself doesn't have it, and they joined Manggu Castle step by step in the development process of Mang Castle, under the guidance of Jiang Yugang's propaganda, and became Jiang Yugang's subordinates, and began to fight with the Luchuan Army.

In this process, Jiang Yugang has put a lot of effort into it, and all people like Yan Gang who have some bumpy life experiences, he has spent a lot of time and effort and practical material benefits to win over, so he is busy from early morning to late at night every day.

And the harvest is also quite good, his status in the eyes of these villagers has reached an unprecedented height, which is not at all comparable to the previous village owners.

In fact, the level of grassroots control of the owners of various cottages in the Mengyang area is very low, and they are even inferior to the big landlords of the Ming Dynasty, and they generally lack sufficient personal control and influence over the villagers.

Most villagers don't have much sense of belonging and identity with the owner of the village, just because the owner of the village often cultivates a large number of thugs, who is the highest force in a cottage, and because of the blood relationship in some cottages, they obey the orders of the owner of the village.

However, the invasion of the Luchuan army and the arrival of the Ming army, and the establishment of the Mang Castle completely broke the original situation, and Jiang Yugang took this opportunity to become the guide in the hearts of the people in the cottages in the Mengyang area, and was the leader who led them to live a good life, drove away and killed the Luchuan army, and was the leader who protected them and avenged them.

The secret academy of Mang Castle, the Divine Hunt Academy and other intelligence agencies, as well as the troops of Mang Castle, the people of Mengyang who can enter are basically from similar backgrounds and plots, they hate the Luchuan Army, and trust and follow Jiang Yugang and Mang Castle, from this point of view, although the soldiers of Mang Castle also do not have much combat experience, they have only dealt with some bandit forces in the mountains, but their will to fight is not weak at all.

··········

Jiang Yu walked slowly on the aisle above the north tower of Mengyang City, although there were some warriors in the aisle who occupied some space to rest, but most of the road still had space for one person to pass.

Originally, there was a passable road, and Jiang Yu's careful actions were carried out, so in the end, he was able to patrol the aisle on the upper floor of Beicheng smoothly and quietly. When it is said to be a patrol, it is actually to look at the state of the soldiers, and at the same time sort out the status, and prepare to summarize and arrange the military situation from all sides.

Mengyang City as a whole is presented as a skewed rectangle, the skewed direction is northeast, the north and south sides are the long side, and the east side is the short side. The extent of the castle wall is quite large, and from a distance, you can see the bend of the castle wall at the end of the field of vision, but if you walk, you can walk for a long time.

That's why you can send thousands of people here and assemble battle formations.

Jiang Yugang walked on the castle tower, thinking about the news from all sides: after the war, the news he needed to get came from three directions. The first direction is Bi Lu Village, which is the direction of Bai Qianfan's garrison, and he needs to know Bai Qianfan, his boss's actions at the same time, and Bi Lu Village's battle against the Luchuan Army, which is the most important direction.

The second direction is Nanma Village, which may be more important than Bilu Village, but Meng Yangcheng also sent most of the soldiers to garrison this direction, although the fortifications and geographical location are not good, but it is the greatest manpower invested to seek people.

At the same time, in this direction, Jiang Yuyan himself did not directly dispatch the soldiers under his jurisdiction, which is a direction that cannot be said, and it is estimated that even if he finally participates in the defense, it will be until the Luchuan army is in the city, which is not so important under comprehensive consideration.

The last direction is Mang Castle, this direction is also quite critical, after all, Mang Castle is their own hard work for half a year, on the one hand, it is quite important to keep their own efforts and capital, on the other hand, if the safety of Mang Castle is guaranteed, then the manpower of Mang Castle will also make a lot of help for the support of Mengyang City.

In all three directions, he arranged for many intelligence officers, some of whom were army personnel like Aouma's subordinates, Dao Rong, the commander of the array stationed in the South City Tower, who relied on his own command to temporarily serve as the intelligence dispatch center.

On the other hand, there is a team of about 400 intelligence personnel in the Divine Hunting Academy and the Mystical Academy, and they originally had the establishment of the Mang Castle, but during the battle, less than 100 people who may have actually remained in the Mang Castle, and more than 300 people are active in these three directions, always ready to provide information on the battlefield.

And the center of all the intelligence is naturally Jiang Yugang, the so-called military master, the envoy of the Secret Academy, and now is finally the time for him to exert his ability to control all the information and make the most critical judgment.

Of course, he still silently made a wish in his heart that everything could go according to the expected plan, and there would be no more unexpected changes.

················

As Jiang Yu paced on the upper floor of the North City, the blue and blue hazy sky light before the last bit of the sun rose began to be gradually erased from the edge of the sky by the intense bright incandescent, bringing an endless view and an extremely clear sky under the vast sky.

And still in the farthest edge of the sky, there have been a little brighter points of light, the points of light are connected into a line, and they begin to form a pattern, and eventually this figure will become a circle, which is the sun, and then rise to the center of the sky, and the time will come to noon, the time when the Luchuan army launched an attack.

The Luchuan army should not have thought that at the most popular destination of their attack, the Ming army at the head of Mengyang City had the same clear and unambiguous attack plan as theirs. But if there are smart enough people among them, they should probably understand this quickly, after all, in this battle, there are many Luchuan people in the Ming army and the Luchuan army who have come to the current point because of the coincidence of fate.

They used to be ordinary Luchuan people, living under the same sky, but now they want to face each other. This seems to be an unacceptable and difficult thing to understand, but it seems to make people fall into confusion and long-term thinking about fate.

But Jiang Yuyan knew a clear answer, because of the hearts of the people, these Luchuan people went to both ends of the battlefield. Because of the revitalization of Luchuan's heart by the Sijia forces, some people were forced to go to the side of the Luchuan army, and because of the various practices of the Luchuan army, driven by Jiang Yugang's thoughts, the remaining Luchuan people were moved by the truth and persuasion and went to the other side of the battlefield.

They were not born enemies, someone turned them into enemies. Jiang Yu thinks that he has done nothing wrong, after all, homesickness is the "cause" of everything in Luchuan, and everything he does accordingly is in line with the general trend and Luchuan's heart.
