"If you go out of the city and ambush, if it doesn't go well, how much loss will it cause to the Xuanwei army? Injured people, can no longer hold the county seat, Xuanwei army will not taste loss. Besides, what Yang Jianjun just said was the best result, and the worst result was that the Xuanwei army was ambushed when it went out of the city, and it lost its combat effectiveness after the first battle. Zhao An obviously disagreed with Yang Congyi's statement.

The generals were at a loss, looking at the commander for a while, and then looking at the prison army.

"Yang Jianjun, you are a supervisor sent by the imperial court, Lord Zhizhou ordered the Xuanwei army to garrison Anyuan County, but you let the Xuanwei army go out of the city to the west, what is your purpose? The duty of the overseer is to supervise the marching army to act according to the orders of the imperial court or the commander-in-chief, doesn't the overseer know it? ”

As soon as Zhao An's words came out, most of the battalion commanders turned to support him. Since ancient times, there have been many bad things in the army, and when they start a war, they are all dragging their feet, and they have to pass the blame for losing the battle, how can the generals not understand the reason.

"Commander Zhao was wrong, the military order given by the imperial court to the Xuanwei Army was to transfer Qinzhou, not to garrison Anyuan County. Since it is to transfer the defense of Qinzhou, the security of the entire Qinzhou is on the head of the Xuanwei army, and the loss of any piece of land in Qinzhou is the responsibility of the Xuanwei army. The commander limited the duties of the Xuanwei Army to Anyuan County, and ignored other places, which was a big mistake. This prison must supervise you and correct it! Yang Congyi fought back loudly.

These words changed the situation in the hall, and what the superintendent said was right, the Xuanwei Army was ordered to transfer Qinzhou, and the Anyuan County was just a temporary decision of the Lord Zhizhou, but no matter where the Xuanwei Army was stationed, the responsibility of transferring and defending Qinzhou remained unchanged, and only by driving out all the enemies could they be regarded as completing the duty of dispatching and defending.

"Garrisoning Anyuan County is the military order of Lord Zhizhou, and the Xuanwei Army must ensure that Anyuan County is not lost, cannot go out of the city, and cannot have any accidents. Besides, if the Xuanwei army does not go out of the city to ambush, can't it defeat the enemy army and drive them away? Not necessarily! Although Zhao An felt that he was at a loss, he still insisted on his statement and did not change it at all. ”

Then he said: "The military order of the imperial court is indeed to let the Xuanwei army transfer to Qinzhou, and the Xuanwei army did not come, but the military order said how to arrange the troops and how to fight?" Not at all! If I don't transfer the Xuanwei Army to the west according to the will of the prison army, it really makes no sense for the prison army to find fault. Could it be that the prison army wants to take over the command of the Xuanwei army? ”

When the generals heard this, they were secretly frightened, has the contradiction between the commander and the prison army reached such an extent? What the commander said is reasonable, and what the prison army said is also reasonable, but for them, they must listen to the commander, after all, the commander is their stable boss, and the commander is a temporary assignment of the imperial court, which can be replaced at any time, and can offend the prison army, not the commander.

Zhao An's words had already reached such a point, and Yang Congyi immediately competed without hesitation: "Commander Zhao has a misunderstanding of the position of supervising the army, who told the commander that the supervising army is only here to supervise military orders?" I'm going to tell you today what the Overseers do. The important thing is not to supervise how the army fights, but to supervise how the army goes out to win the war. No matter how well the military order is executed, what is the use of losing the battle in the end. The duty of this supervising army is to supervise the victory of the Xuanwei army, not to tell the imperial court how well you have executed the order of the Zhao commander after the Xuanwei army has lost the battle. Now Commander Zhao asked me if I wanted to command the Xuanwei Army, if the commander insisted on defending the county seat and not changing the way of death, then I would command the Xuanwei Army, that is, to lead the Xuanwei Army to win the battle and drive away Li Yueren! ”

"Yang Jianjun, you are creating contradictions and splitting the Xuanwei Army!" Zhao An got up angrily.

"Yes, Commander Zhao stays in the city and guards your city well, and I will lead the Great Song Haoerlang who wants to make meritorious contributions to destroy the enemy and establish meritorious deeds." As he spoke, he got up and looked at the crowd.

Seeing that the battle between the commander and the prison army had reached such a fierce situation, the seven generals in the council hall dared to sit down, and they all got up, not daring to speak indiscriminately.

Yang Congyi said: "I have studied the art of war in martial arts for a year and a half, and after the imperial court assessment, I was awarded the officer, and then I was responsible for supervising the return to Yi, advocating the formation of the Xuanwei Army, and went to Anqing to personally recruit soldiers and soldiers, and also invited the teaching group who is proficient in the battle formation to help everyone train the new army. When I sent an envoy to Li Yue, I also brought a thousand Xuanwei troops, fought with them, knew their power, and communicated with them on the way south to occupy the city, and knew their cunning. Whoever wants to come with me, stand up, and I will lead you to victory and achievement! ”

"If you want to leave, I won't stay!" Zhao An said angrily.

Hearing this, the seven generals were very uneasy, and they were very uneasy, is the Xuanwei Army going to break up?

Some people looked at the commander, and then at the prison army, and more people looked ahead, and their eyes didn't even move.

"Lord Overseer, I'll go with you." After a moment of silence, one of the seven people moved, walking towards Yang Congyi.

Everyone saw that the person was none other than Su Zhong, who had fought with Li Yueren.

"Yes, welcome." Yang Congyi smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

Su Zhong didn't say anything more, and stood still beside Yang Congyi.

"Lord Warden, I'll go with you." Another person came over, but it was Luo Cong, and the others were suddenly a little unsettled.

"Yes, welcome." Yang Congyi patted him on the shoulder.

Luo Cong also stood beside him.

Then another man stepped forward and said, "I'll go with the prison guards." ”

Everyone saw that it was Pan Cheng, and they were slightly shocked, this person was the person who really fought with the Jin people, he joined the army at the age of fifteen, and now he has been in the army for more than ten years, and his strength is relatively strong.

"Yes, welcome." Yang Congyi patted him on the shoulder as he spoke.

Before Pan Cheng could stand still, another person came over with a dull head, and without saying a word, he stood beside Yang Congyi.

This person is Yao Chang, who is usually quiet and quiet, and has a lot of power in the Xuanwei army.

Yang Congyi patted him on the shoulder and said hello three times in a row.

Zhao An's face was ugly, seeing that the four generals followed Yang Congyi, but he was helpless, so he said: "Okay, you will follow Yang Jianjun to die, don't beg me to open the city gate for you when the time comes!" ”

Seeing that the remaining three people should not come over, Yang Congyi said: "Commander Zhao, don't worry, we will only win the battle, not defeat the battle, you still have to worry about yourself." With that, he walked away.

Su Zhong, Luo Cong, Pan Cheng, and Yao Chang turned around and saluted Zhao An.

"." Zhao An was very angry and didn't bother to look at them again.

The four of them immediately turned around, followed Yang Congyi, and walked out of the conference hall.

The five people immediately gathered in the camp for a small meeting, Yang Congyi explained his thoughts to the four of them, and then returned to the camp to prepare.

An hour later, the four battalions of 2,000 men left from the west gate with a small amount of military equipment and ordnance, and arrived at the moat twenty or thirty zhang wide.

The moat flows east from Huashi Town, flows outside the west gate of Anyuan County, and then is like the sea. Many of the people who fled from the west of the city took advantage of the boat down the moat, and after arriving at the county seat, they left in a hurry, leaving all the boats on the east bank of the moat, so there were no less than thirty or forty large and small ships docked on the riverbank.

Yang Congyi gave an order, Su Zhongying crossed the river first, and under the leadership of the local guide, he moved from the path to Huashi Town, and Pan Chengying crossed the river to follow after a quarter of an hour, and then Yao Changying successfully crossed the river after a quarter of an hour, keeping up with the front team, and finally Yang Congyi followed Luo Congying to cross the river.

As soon as he crossed the river, Yang Congyi, under the escort of Zhang Liu, quickly advanced and caught up with Su Zhongying, who was at the forefront of the team.

According to the map of Qinzhou, although he had roughly determined the ambush site, the ancient map was very abstract, and it was impossible to estimate how high the mountain was, how wide and deep the river was, and he would not mark it clearly.

At the same time, as soon as the team crossed the moat, they sent spies in the direction of Huashi Town and Nasuo Town to investigate the enemy's situation.

Under the guidance of the guide, 2,000 people were fully armed and spent most of the day by road to a jungle south of Huashi Town, which was less than three miles away from the center of Huashi Town.

The whole army temporarily concealed its whereabouts and rested in the forest.

Soon after they arrived in Huashi Town, the spies came back to report that there was no trace of the enemy in the entire vicinity of Huashi Town, and there were no local people, and it was an empty town.

After the spies finished their report, they took a short break and continued to the west of Nasuo Town, and even further west in the direction of Wuwen, to investigate the enemy's military situation on the southern road.

The enemy army wants to go east to Anyuan County, must pass through Huashi Town, there is only a slightly larger road here, across the east and west, the enemy comes with victory, there is no geography that does not take a good road, and they also want to burn and loot all the way, a radius of thirty miles, Huashi Town, where two rivers meet, is the center, the population is relatively dense, and the enemy army will not come.

Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy had not yet arrived, Yang Congyi secretly rushed to Huashi Town, three miles away, with four generals, to investigate the ambush site on the spot.

Huashi Town was separated by a river that flowed into the moat from south to north, so they first looked four or five miles north along the river on the east bank and found two suitable ambush sites, but because the overall terrain was low and mostly farmland, it was not the most ideal ambush location.

So they crossed the river to the west and went directly into the center of Huashi Town.

There are many houses in the town, almost all of them with open doors, and they are obviously very resolute, and it is impossible to return for a short time. I casually entered a few courtyards, and they were all empty, useful, and valuable things, and there were only some things left that could not be taken away.

The Xuanwei army practiced a gun formation, and the knives were rarely used, and the spears were difficult to use in street battles, and once they met the enemy, the casualties would be very large, so the empty town that seemed to be very suitable for ambush was directly excluded.

Later, the five of them explored the west of the town for a long time, and found that the terrain around Huashi Town was very flat, almost no mountains, and only a few small dirt bags, no more than one zhang high.

After a few hours, the five returned to the jungle to the southeast, discussing where to set up an ambush and how to set up the formation.

After more than half an hour of heated discussion, Yang Congyi adopted everyone's opinions and used the river to set up a formation.
