…

Cai still knew that as long as he put forward this battle plan, the task of containing the Song Jiang rebels on Zhang Liangshan would have to fall to him.

This is actually what Cai still expects.

Cai has always believed in one sentence: if you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates.

Therefore, Cai is still unwilling to coax the big gang at all, but prefers to go all the way alone.

As for this most difficult task in the eyes of others, it is really nothing in Cai Ying's eyes.

The total number of Song Jiang rebels was 20,000 horses, and the Song Jiang rebels on Zhang Liang Mountain were only 5,000.

If the 5,000 Song Jiang rebels defended the cottage and let Cai still bring 3,000 Jinwu troops to attack, then Cai still couldn't do it.

But if he just restrained the 5,000 Song Jiang rebels and prevented them from rescuing the Song Jiang rebels on Dui Su Mountain, then Cai would still be completely sure.

Therefore, seeing that everyone was looking at him, Cai still took it upon himself to say: "If the adults and generals trust the young general, the young general is willing to take on this task." ”

Liang Fangping smiled: "Okay! is worthy of the great generals of my Central Forbidden Army, but he has the courage that others don't have! ”

With Cai Ying's great contribution to the Keishan cottage, Liang Fangping has been promoted, and now he has officially entered the sequence of the Central Forbidden Army, becoming the capital of the guards and the pro-army Ma Bujun (his current position is the capital supervisor of Hebei Recruitment).

The butt decides the head, and of course Liang Fangping has to speak to the people of the Central Forbidden Army.

Huang Qianshan is not good at stubble, although he does not dare to scold Liang Fangping, who is now favored by Emperor Zhao Ji, it is impossible to follow Cai of Qipin to be polite, he looked at Cai still aggressively: "Can you really drag the traitors on Zhang Liangshan?" Can you guarantee it? Do you dare to make a military order? ”

Cai still didn't even hesitate, and said: "Everything on the battlefield is unknown, who dares to say that it is certain, can you win according to Lord Huang's plan?" Does Lord Huang dare to make a military writ? ”

Huang Qianshan opened his eyes and said nonsense: "At least it must be more reliable than your plan." ”

Cai still shrugged his shoulders and said, "Lord Huang is the supreme commander of this battle (Hebei Recruiting Envoy), I obey your orders, but I reserve my opinion. ”

Seeing that Cai still wanted to pick a pick, Liang Fangping quit.

What are you kidding, if this battle is won, everyone will have benefits, and if it is defeated, no one will have to follow it.

Therefore, Liang Fangping said: "According to our family, it is still the plan of Commander Cai that is more reliable, attacking the city is only secondary, and the living force of exterminating the rebels is the main purpose, even if the rebels on Zhang Liang Mountain find out that they are deceived, what about the whole army to rescue the rebels on Dui Su Mountain, as long as we fight quickly, when they arrive at Dui Su Mountain, the rebels on Dui Su Mountain may only have one breath left, and besides, the Jin Wu Army has more than 2,000 people and horses, with the courage of Cai and the elite of the Jin Wu Army, How can we delay them for a day or two, with such ample time, we can fight if we want, and leave if we don't want to fight, it's a big deal to find another opportunity, it's much safer than a desperate bet. ”

You don't have to take the risk yourself, all the risks are borne by the Jinwu army, and they can fight if they want to, and withdraw if they don't want to fight, where can this kind of good thing be found, therefore, as soon as Liang Fangping's words came out, he immediately attracted a chorus.

Seeing this, Liang Fangping said: "According to our family, there is no need to discuss this matter anymore, just act according to Commander Cai's plan." ”

The most difficult task has already been resisted, and they only need to follow an army of forty or fifty thousand to mix and attack four or five thousand people, who would disagree?

Therefore, everyone stood on the side of Liang Fangping.

Huang Qianshan saw that the general trend had been lost, so he kept silent, and only kept this revenge in his heart silently, and he would find another opportunity to avenge Liang Fangping and Cai still in the future.

……

The person in charge of the army on Zhang Liangshan is Qin Ming, who has been hitting Dong Ping, Mu Heng, and the prodigal son Yanqing.

Qin Ming, Dong Ping, and Mu Heng are all rare generals under Song Jiang, and Yan Qing is very clever and a little quick-witted, and the combination of the four of them has repeatedly defeated the Song army, especially during the period when they were stationed in Zhang Liangshan, and they have repeatedly beaten the Song army who came to encircle and suppress them.

It is precisely because of this that in the eyes of Qin Ming and others, although the Song army has many horses, it is vulnerable, and they are even more fearless of the encirclement and suppression of the Song army.

On this day, Qin Ming was gossiping with Dong Ping, Mu Heng, and Yan Qing.

Dong Ping said: "The official army is getting weaker and weaker, and this Great Song Dynasty is afraid that it will not be long before it is destroyed." ”

Mu Heng said: "Yes, soon the world will be ours, at that time, my brother will be the emperor, and we will all be generals and enjoy the world." ”

Yan Qing said very calmly: "It can't be said that all the officers and troops are vulnerable, then the Jinwu army is very powerful, if it weren't for them to rush and intercept, how could we leave our hometown and come to Hebei?" ”

Qin Ming snorted and said: "That's Yang Zhi and Hu Yanqiu are incompetent, if my brother asks us to attack that Kei cottage, how can we lose troops and make the world look down on us!" ”

Yan Qing said: "I went to inquire with the brothers who participated in those battles, and they said that in those battles, Brother Yang Zhi and Brother Hu Yanxuan did their best, especially the night attack commanded by Brother Yang Zhi, and finally Brother Yang Zhi even personally stepped on the wall, but they were still repulsed, Brother Dai Zong and Brother Yang Xiong were also broken, and Brother Li Ying was captured alive, so you must not underestimate Cai Yi and Jin Wujun." ”

Qin Ming was a little stubborn because of his strong martial arts, he said: "Yang Zhi, just a coward, when did he give up his life to fight with others, where is the battlefield where a treacherous person like him made meritorious achievements, if I went to the wall that day, I would never have survived." ”

Yan Qing just wanted to argue again, when someone suddenly came in and reported: "Report to a few leaders, the official army has come to attack our cottage!" ”

Qin Ming heard this and said, "Oh? Is it going to die again? That's just for me to teach Yang Zhi and Hu Yanqiu how to fight, come on, and the generals will send troops. ”

Yan Qing hurriedly stopped and said, "Brother, slow down." ”

When Qin Ming heard this, his brows furrowed, and he said, "Why did you stop me?" ”

Yan Qing said: "Brother Hugh is in a hurry, wait for me to find out how many people they have come, whether they have responded, and then we will discuss whether to fight, how about it?" ”

Although Qin Ming is reckless, he is not stupid, the official army is three or five thousand, he can lead his troops to battle, if he comes to three or five thousand, how can he lead his troops to fight? So he said, "That's right, brother, go and come back quickly." ”

After Yan Qing went out, Qin Ming, Dong Ping, and Mu Heng immediately began to prepare for the battle.

After more than an hour, Yan Qing came back, and then said in a deep voice: "There are three compartments, namely the Qianning Army, the Yongjing Army, and the Baoding Army, and they may have 30,000 horses." ”

Dong Ping listened, frowned, and said, "Our Zhang Liangshan is the main direction of attack of the official army?" ”

Mu Heng said: "What about 30,000, as long as we defend according to the cottage, even if there are 30,000 officers and soldiers, they may not be able to help us wait for us, and as long as the wolf smoke is lit, someone will come to rescue us, at that time, we will attack before and after, maybe we can repel the officers and troops in one fell swoop, and then we will attack Changshan Pass, as long as we open up Changshan Pass, we can enter the city and conquer the city, and retreat can enter the Taihang Mountains to accumulate the strength of the counterattack." ”

But at this time, someone shouted: "Look, wolf smoke!" ”

When Qin Ming and the others heard this, they all looked up and saw wolf smoke billowing from the direction of Dui Su Mountain.

Dong Ping's eyes narrowed, and he said, "It seems that the official army is preparing to attack our Zhang Liangshan and Zhang Qing at the same time." ”

……

After receiving the order, Cai still actually divided the Jinwu army into three:

The front battalion and the left battalion, including Cai Yi and Cai Yi's personal guards, set off along the avenue and advanced straight to Zhang Liangshan, which Cai still personally commanded.

The pro-guard battalion, detouring from the left, this route is led by Wang Detong.

The middle camp, the right camp and the rear camp detour from the right, this route is the Niu Gao belt.

As soon as Cai Yan's battle plan came out, many people were in a cold sweat, there were only 3,000 men in total, and they had to divide the troops, and they were not divided into two roads, but into three roads, what kind of joke is this?

Gao Shidan relied on his qualifications and persuaded him: "General, is it too dangerous to divide troops like this?" ”

Cai still said: "After listening to me, our purpose is to confuse the enemy and make the enemy make wrong judgments, so, after the division of troops, you are all promoted, Zhang Xian, you are the commander of the Qianning Army, Wang De, you are the commander of the Yongjing Army, Niu Gao, you are the commander of the Baoding Army, and I am the Lord Huang, all the heads will be promoted to commanders, the military name will be thought by themselves, the commander will be promoted to the commander, and the military name will also be thought by himself, when encountering the enemy, those who exceed the size of the battalion are not allowed to attack, remember, if you don't fight, you will win, and you are absolutely not allowed to lose the battle. All the sentry posts along the way must be pulled out, and all the prisoners must be put back as much as possible, but they must not be allowed to discover your true formation, I said, you all understand? ”

There was a quick response, and they immediately understood what Cai still meant, and they gossiped: "Yes, we came here in Zhang Liangshan, not to fight with the rebels on Zhang Liangshan, but to contain the rebels on Zhang Liangshan and prevent them from rescuing the rebels on Dui Su Mountain, and as long as we do what the general says, the enemy will definitely think that it is the 30,000 troops of the Qianning Army, the Yongjing Army, and the Baoding Army who came to encircle and suppress Zhang Liangshan, and it was led by Huang Zhaoqiu himself, but because of our poor discipline, the battle line is a little long. And in the face of our menacing army of 30,000, they will definitely not dare to act rashly, and then we can easily complete the task of containing the rebels on Zhang Liangshan. ”

After such an analysis by these people, everyone realized Cai Ying's cleverness, and even realized Cai Zhen's cunning.

Yue Fei, who was standing behind Cai Ying, his eyes lit up, and he said secretly: "The battle can still be fought like this, but ...... Isn't that a bit of a victory? ”

Cai still seemed to see Yue Fei's thoughts with long eyes in the back of his head, and then he seemed to be saying to everyone, and as if he was talking to Yue Fei alone: "Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, once you are on the battlefield, don't care about the means, let alone stick to the rules, you have to think about the only one thing forever, that is, to win, in order to win, you can do whatever it takes, if you can't do this, you will definitely lose the chance to win because of your stupidity, and bring huge casualties to the army under your command, It could even cost you your own life. ”

When Yue Fei heard this, his heart sank, and then silently remembered Cai Ying's words in his heart.

"The marshal followed the emperor at the beginning, and the emperor appointed him as his personal guard, always with him, taught by words and deeds, and taught him the way to lead soldiers." - "Zhong Ji", Yue Fei's biography.
