Chapter Eighty-Seven: Yuan Shizhong's sense of smell

Even though a battle took place dozens of miles west of Xiayi City, such a big movement, if Xiayi didn't know, proved that Ma Shiying was deaf and blind.

Facts have proved that Ma Shiying may not be a famous handsome in the world, but he is definitely not deaf and blind.

Just when Yang Shenzu was marching with fire at night, his whereabouts had already been discovered by the night, and Pegasus reported to Ma Shiying's hands.

Before dawn, Ma Shiying had already been awakened.

Ma Shiying, dressed in white silk underwear with her hair scattered, sat on a chair, and in front of her two maids were holding copper kettles, but one copper kettle was filled with hot water and the other was filled with cold water.

A maid was pouring hot water into the copper basin in front of Ma Shiying to wash Ma Shiying's face.

"What? There is a brigade of thieves and cavalry, coming from the north, Wang Han's department? Ma Shiying listened to what Yang Youlong said, almost couldn't believe it, and said: "Where did thousands of elite riders jump out?" ”

Then he scolded again: "Wang Han deserves to die." "Kicked the maid to him with hot water.

The two maids fell to the ground with a "plop", as if they were two quails, trembling and not daring to make a sound, even if a maid's hand was scalded by hot water and bubbled, she only dared to cover it and did not dare to cry out in pain.

Only the golden bronze cannon swirled on the ground, and the smooth basin that seemed to be like a copper mirror reflected the faces of Ma Shiying and Yang Longyou successively, but the faces of both of them were a little distorted.

Ma Shiying said that Wang Han deserved to die, and there was a reason.

Without him, Wang Han was the governor of Henan, and he was stationed in the west, and some prefectures and counties in the direction of Germany obeyed Wang Han's command.

Ma Shiying took a deep breath, knowing that no matter how angry he was, it would be useless, and said, "What should I do now, Liu Zeqing's subordinates or not?" ”

"Brother-in-law." Yang Longyou said: "You must send troops, those people in Donglin can look at you very unpleasantly, this Wang Han is a person valued by His Majesty, if Wang Han has an accident this time, I am afraid that the people of Donglin will speak in front of Your Majesty." How will you deal with yourself then? ”

Ma Shiying is not a novice in officialdom, he understands very well that the next charges such as fearing the enemy like a tiger and not saving him when he sees death will be pressed on Ma Shiying's head.

No matter what happens to Wang Han now, Ma Shiying must show an attitude of rescue.

This battle is not to be fought with Zhang Xuan, but with those in the DPRK and China.

Ma Shiying sighed and said: "I'm afraid, the news I received now is just that thieves are attacking Wang Han's camp, if Wang Han gritted his teeth and still insisted, it's okay to say, if Wang Han has collapsed, Liu Zeqing, I'm afraid it won't be enough, if Liu Zeqing collapses again, I can play cards in my hand and lose one." ”

Shiying was very conflicted in his heart, on the one hand, he was dissatisfied with the generals under his command, and felt that they were domineering, except for Huang Degong, Ma Shiying had such emotions, but on the other hand, Ma Shiying knew that the combat power in the hands of these military leaders was an important force to support him, the governor of Fengyang, and he must not lose it.

"Let's just send more people." Yang Longyou said: "Let Jin Shenghuan's troops attack together. Ling Huang Degong immediately turned back. With most of the Yongwei battalion arriving, Zhang Xuan is a thief, so there is no need to worry. ”

"Okay." Ma Shiying said: "Pass the order down and let them step up." ”

"Yes." Yang Longyou said: "I'll arrange it." ”

Ma Shiying closed his eyes, and then slowly opened them, reining in his anger, as if nothing had happened just now. Said peacefully: "Fetch me water." ”

Under Yang Longyou's arrangement, Liu Zeqing's department and Jin Shenghuan's department both moved.

In the tower of the south gate of Xiayi, there is a space separated by a curtain.

Yuan Shizhong rested here.

"General." One of the officers said, "General." ”

Yuan Shizhong woke up suddenly, opened his bloodshot eyes, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Something is wrong on the other side." The officer said, "They brought up burying the pot to cook. ”

Yuan Shizhong and the official army have been confronting each other under the city of Xiayi for a long time.

The only thing Yuan Shizhong does every day is to check the enemy formation.

When do you get up on the other side, what time do you eat, whose subordinates are in that place, how the artillery is arranged, these things are all things that Yuan Shizhong has to study every day.

The people around Yuan Shizhong also understood.

Yuan Shizhong came out and saw that sure enough, in the early morning mist, white cooking smoke rose into the sky, as if countless hands stretched out to the sky, swaying left and right with the direction of the wind.

He checked the sky and suddenly felt that the time was wrong. Half an hour early.

But that alone wasn't enough for him to judge that there was something wrong. However, he quickly discovered the difference, and said secretly: "Where did Liu Zeqing's people go, why did Liu Liangzuo's people on the other side?" ”

Thinking of yesterday's movements, his heartbeat seemed to miss a beat, and he said secretly: "Is there really any reinforcements coming?" Or maybe it's their trick to lure the enemy. ”

He pondered for a while, and then he made up his mind to give it a try, whether there was it or not. He has also seen that Ma Shiying has no intention of eating him in one go, and the possibility of playing tricks at this moment is low after all. And even if you don't know what Ma Shiying wants to do, you can only uphold it, and what the enemy wants to do, you must not let them do it.

"Pass it on, add breakfast today. Unlimited. Yuan Shizhong said.

Although the food in Xiayi City is still enough, Yuan Shizhong has already taken precautions to save food. The whole army included Yuan Shi

I can't eat enough.

Therefore, Yuan Shizhong's haggard appearance was half exhausted, and the other half was hungry.

The order was conveyed, and suddenly there was a burst of cheers among Yuan Shizhong's subordinates.

The sequelae of years of famine are that some people are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of hunger, and they can only eat enough, even if they have a broken head.

The distance between the two sides is only more than a mile, and in some places, it is not as good as a mile, and if you use a clairvoyant, it is the distance between nose and eye to eye.

If there is any movement in the official army, Yuan Shizhong will soon know, and if there is any movement in Yuan Shizhong, the official army will also know it quickly.

The news is reported to Ma Shiying here. Ma Shiying got out of the big tent and climbed the watchtower, but saw that the gate of Xiayi City was open, and a team of soldiers were arrayed under the city wall, but in a moment, thousands of soldiers lined up in formation.

The military array of Yuan Shizhong's department inherited some of Zhang Xuan's characteristics, even though it did not have Zhang Xuan's phalanx, the columns were beautiful and beautiful, but they were also neat and well-organized.

"Yuan Shizhong smelled the smell." Ma Shiying sneered and said, "Don't worry about him, just do what you want." ”

"My lord, this is not appropriate. Once the two generals Liu and Jin left, this long siege could only rely on General Liu, but they didn't know General Liu, so why not ask Liu Liangzuo what General Liu meant? Yang Longyou said euphemistically, the meaning of which is already obvious, that is, he thinks that Liu Liangzuo is not enough to take on the big responsibility.

Ma Shiying also frowned, for the generals under his command, Ma Shiying still has a spectrum, the most reassuring Ma Shiying, and the combat power is also the strongest, which is the Yongwei battalion.

However, there is also a Lu Jiude on the Yongwei Battalion, so Ma Shiying has to have a good relationship with Lu Jiude, and don't be hindered when using the Yongwei Battalion, after all, some people are not successful enough to lose.

The rest are Liu Zeqing and Jin Shenghuan.

Liu Zeqing still had the battle of crossing the river before, no matter what, he dared to cross the river and fall into battle, was besieged by thieves, and was able to retreat with his whole body, it can be seen that he still has some ability, as for Jin Shenghuan is Zuo Liangyu's headquarters. Also trustworthy.

Don't look at Zuo Liangyu's retreat against the righteous army without a fight and abandon the enemy for thousands of miles, but as far as Zuo Liangyu's headquarters is concerned, he can still fight.

As far as Liu Liangzuo's strength is concerned, Ma Shiying is not very relieved, Liu Liangzuo is from the border army, but he does not seem to have a one-sided record, he was attached to the general soldier Mu Wenshou before, and later followed Huang Degong.

In the end, he accumulated merit to the chief officer.

Ma Shiying's heart was uncertain, so he turned around and asked, "Mr. Liu, what do you think?" ”

Liu Liangzuo, nicknamed Huama Liu, was still a little self-aware, so he had to answer: "My lord, the four villages in the long area are extremely strong, but the narrow and long road connecting the four villages is not easy to defend. Please also leave some people in case of emergency. ”
