Songshan City is not far south of the Daling River, and Zhou Zheng traveled lightly and simply, crossed the Daling River at the fastest speed, and rushed into Youtun.

As soon as he entered Youtun, Zu Dashou greeted him, and said in a low voice as he walked: "Don't worry, I have sealed the city in Youtun, no one can go out, and the surrounding walls are also clear, and the news will never be leaked." ”

Zu Dashou is a fat man of about 1.7 meters, with a low voice, and a different and stable general's style.

Zhou Zheng hummed, glanced at the state of martial law around him, and said: "I brought 15,000 people, the equipment is all behind, sent in batches, and the grain and grass are transported by sea......"

Zu Dashou looked up at the front of him, and said in a low voice more and more: "Several people around me are dissatisfied with the imperial court, and they are a little unclear with Jianyu, I can't get the evidence, I'll give you your name later, you be careful." ”

Zhou Zheng's eyes were indifferent, and he said: "My people are very reliable, if you have any arrangements, you can directly order, don't say anything else, keep the first place in Youtun!" ”

Zu Dashou had a smile on his face, and said: "You, I don't worry, General Man has explained to me, you are not someone else, you can be trusted!" ”

Zhou Zheng smiled, and at the same time paid attention to Youtun, which had just been built, reinforced, and increased, not even half the size of Jinzhou, and said: "While Jianyu has not yet come, let's hide it first and see how the superintendent arranges." ”

Zu Dashou nodded, and then said, "Well, I have received a letter that the Governor has arranged several reinforcements and will support us. Now we have 20,000 troops here, and there is no problem in supporting it for half a year. ”

If the right tun is stabilized, the situation between Daming and Jianyu will be reversed, and the offense and defense will be converted, not only will they no longer be so passive in defense, but they will also have the opportunity to eliminate Jianlu and recover Liaodong!

Zhou Zheng walked into the courtyard of Youtun Zhengzhong Mansion and said in a low voice: "The few who can't move are kept, and the others are all taken, and the slightest suspicion is caught!" ”

Zu Dashou was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood, and said in an urn voice: "Okay! ”

Zhou Zheng entered Youtun, and he could hide it from outsiders, but he couldn't hide it from people in Youtun, I don't know how many people were frightened and frightened.

Another army came in, indicating that they would not withdraw to Jinzhou, so would they just wait to die?

Others are looking at the north with twinkling eyes, scratching their ears and cheeks to release the news.

No matter what these people thought, Zhou Zheng and Zu Dashou quickly discussed the strategy of defending the city, allocated the city gates, arranged the manpower, imposed martial law on the inside and outside, and waited for the battle.

When Zhou Zheng arrived at Youtun and made various preparations, Sun Chengzong finally arrived in Ningyuan.

Qiu Hejia stood in front of him, with a calm face, and said, "My lord, I have ordered the skin to lead 10,000 people to reinforce Jinzhou at any time, and respond at any time." In addition, Jinzhou City, I also gave an order to Man Gui to prepare his army. He replied that Wu Xiang and Song Wei had ordered 15,000 people to reinforce at any time......"

Sun Chengzong's slender face was indifferent, and he looked at Qiu Hejia and said: "We still have time, the pontoon bridge on the Xiaoling River must be built, and we can quickly transport grain to Youtun to ensure that Youtun is not lost." The emperor has sent me a letter asking me not to be cowardly in any case, and I must deal a heavy blow to Jianyu like last time! ”

Qiu Jiahe looked solemn and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials will definitely go all out!" ”

Sun Chengzong stood up and said, "Okay! You sit in Ningyuan, I go to Jinzhou, it is a matter of my country's social plan, who dares to slack off, I will invite Shang Fang's sword, first cut and then play! ”

Qiu Hejia's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes!" ”

Sun Chengzong didn't say much, arranged some personnel arrangements and hurried on the road to Jinzhou.

Right Tun.

When it was almost the 10th of July, Zhou Zheng arrived one after another from the road and the artillery transported to Youtun by sea.

Standing on the north gate, Zu Dashou touched the thick and cold iron cannon, and said: "This is a good thing, I have seen Lord Yuan use it before, it was extremely rare, but I didn't expect you to be able to get it." With this thing, it's no problem to keep him for half a year! ”

This time, Zhou Zheng did not hide again, and directly transported sixty artillery pieces and placed them in the northwest two.

Zhou Zheng said with a smile: "I just lent it to you for use, but I have to pay it back afterwards." ”

Zu Dashou knew that this thing was valuable, and when he touched it in his hand, his expression was unfinished, and he was ready to move, for a while, he sighed and said: "You civil officials are fateful, and there are so many relationships, unlike us martial artists, except for the occasional things squeezed out of the teeth of the imperial court, you can't even see a little bit of meat......

Zhou Zheng didn't care about Zu Dashou's complaints, looked at the north, felt the slightest bit of heat, and said: "Soon, we will have a hard time, and we can't go back, so let's do it, if you can survive, I will give you twenty doors." ”

Zu Dashou's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Really? ”

Twenty doors, to say the least, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!

"Really." Zhou Zhengdao: "Tianjin Wei has an ordnance bureau, which is much cheaper to do, not so expensive......"

"Then bring me twenty more?" Zu Dashou looked at Zhou Zhengdao with a look of hope.

Zhou Zheng rolled his eyes directly, turned around and was about to leave.

Zu Dashou hurriedly said: "Then fifteen, hey, don't be so stingy, sixty, fifteen is not much, we will live and die together, what is it to give more benefits......"

Before Zu Dashou finished speaking, a soldier on the tower of the city gate suddenly ran over and said urgently: "My lord, there is a situation, the scout has sent back information, and Jian Yu is here!" ”

Zu Dashou's words stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at the soldier who reported the news, and said in a deep voice: "Are you serious? ”

Previously, according to expectations, Jianyu would come to Youtun like this in early August, but now it is only mid-July, and Jianyu came half a month in advance!

"It's true! It will be there in half a day at the latest! The soldier said in a panic.

Zu Dashou didn't speak, turned his head and looked at Zhou Zheng with a condensed expression.

Zhou Zheng knew that it was Jianyu who knew that the news had leaked, so he sped up and said, "We have a meeting and send a message to the superintendent at the same time." ”

Zu Dashou nodded heavily, and walked quickly to the courtyard with Zhou Zheng to convene the generals to discuss.

Zu Dashou's deputy general, He Kegang looked flustered and said: "My lord, Jianyu is here in advance, and we haven't prepared completely, how can this be good?" ”

The preparations He Kegang said were not only army mobilization, but also grain and grass, as well as Jinzhou's reinforcements, as well as Sun Chengzong's arrangements, which were not yet in place.

Cao Bianjiao looked at Zhou Zheng and Zu Dashou, who were sitting on the main seat, and said: "Our grain and grass are only half, and the army of 30,000 can only last for three months at most. ”

Zu Dashou said: "How are the reinforcements in Jinzhou prepared?" ”

He Kegang said: "General Man sent a letter before, saying that he was ready. ”

Zu Dashou was a little relieved, and just about to speak, Meng Hezhou suddenly strode in, glanced at everyone, came to Zhou Zheng's side, and whispered in his ear: "Qiu Hejia took over Songshan City under the pretext of the urgency of the war. ”

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were cold.

Qiu Hejia took over Songshan City at this time, as if there was no problem, but Songshan City was strong and did not have enough defense capabilities, if Jianyu stepped across the Daling River, Jinzhou City could not be attacked, Songshan City was the first to bear the brunt, a person who was greedy for money and his life would really go to such a dangerous place at the cost of life and death?

Unless, ulterior motives!

Zhou Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Are our things properly hidden?" ”

Meng Hezhou said: "The important ones are tightly hidden, but as long as some things are taken out to make a fuss, I am afraid that there will be no way to be good." ”

Many of Zhou Zheng's things seem to have excuses, but they all exceed the 'boundary', if it gets to the court, with the pen power of the officials, Zhou Zheng can be easily killed.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Zheng said: "Don't care about these for now, and then talk about repelling Jianyu." ”

These words were not deliberately concealed from the ancestors, He Kegang and the others listened to a rough idea, but they had no beginning or end, and they were confused.

Zu Dashou asked Zhou Zheng and said, "What's the trouble?" ”

Zhou Zheng took a deep breath and said, "Governor Qiu has taken over Songshan City, don't worry about these for now, let's prepare for war." ”
