Zhao Junsheng discussed the details with Liu Gon again and perfected the whole plan.

In the end, Zhao Junsheng made a promise to Liu Gon and said: "Other generals dare not say it, but this general dares to give Liu Sima a guarantee, after the matter is completed, this general will recommend you to the emperor to enter the court as an official, and the official rank will never be lower than a military Sima!" ”

Liu Gon was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "Then thank you general, let's ask the general to see my performance!" ”

"Ben will wait and see!"

When Liu Gon went out, he was only led to Zhu Zhu's tent and let them meet, and soon after he invited them to a banquet.

After the banquet, the two returned to Jiangxia City with their entourage, and when they entered the city, it was already the end of the afternoon.

As soon as the two entered the city, Pang Faqi got the news and immediately sent someone to take them to the Taishou Mansion.

"I've seen Fu Jun, the two of us are fortunate not to be dishonored, and I have come to revenge on Fu Jun!" Zhu Zhu and Liu Gon saluted Pang Fa together.

Pang Faqi helped the two of them up and asked, "How is it, how is the situation?" Zhu Zhubo, you say it first! ”

Zhu Zhu immediately gave a detailed account of the situation of meeting Zhao Junsheng in the camp of the cadres, the conditions he put forward, what he said, and Zhao Junsheng's reaction and answer.

After listening to it, Pang Faqi's face turned a little pale, "So, the news that Shen Qingzhi's army was completely annihilated can already be confirmed?" ”

"It should be true, the lower officials think that there is another way to observe words and feelings, judging from the reaction of Niu Dali and his generals, if the news is fake, it is impossible for all of them to pretend to be so similar!"

Ponfa didn't come back to his senses from the incident.

It wasn't until his son Pang Dangdang reminded him that Pang Faqi collected his heavy mood and said: "It seems that we can't wait for Shen Qingzhi's reinforcements, and our task of taking over Shen Qingzhi's army here is over, we must send someone to cross the river as soon as possible to report to Xiao Dashuai!" Dare to do it, you can do it! ”

Pang Dangdang hugged his fists and said: "Daddy, the riverside ferry and all the boats along the coast have been controlled by the cadres, and there are cadres and cavalry patrols along the coast for more than ten miles. ”

"Okay, it's decided, I'll write a letter to my father later, and let him personally present it to Xiao Dashuai!"

"No!"

Pang Faqi looked at Liu Gon again and asked, "General Liu, how is the situation on your side?" Have you clearly figured out the location of the cadres, the terrain, and the defensive and alert arrangements inside and outside the enemy camp? ”

"It's been figured out, it's all in the mind of the last general, and the last general can draw it now!" Liu Gon pointed to his head as he spoke.

Pang Faqi immediately said to his son: "Prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone!" ”

The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were soon sent by Pang Dangdang, Liu Gon lifted the pen and dipped it in ink, recalled it carefully, and simply drew all the pictures of the situation in his mind.

A moment later, Liu Gon put away his pen, then carefully checked it again, put down his pen and got up to submit the terrain and defense map of the cadre camp he had drawn.

"Fu Jun, it's been drawn, and the last general has carefully checked it again, and there is no omission!"

Pang Faqi immediately took the floor plan and looked at it, and after looking at it for a while, he said: "The defense of the cadres is quite strict, but it is not without flaws!" ”

Liu Gon stepped forward and said: "What the prince said is extremely true, no matter how tightly armed, there will be loopholes, and it is impossible to be seamless!" You see here and here, we only need to send people to kill the sentry posts in these two positions, and the army can quietly reach the outside of the camp of the cadres! ”

"Look at this again, there is a two-zhang wide passage, which should be used by patrols and guards outside the camp to enter and exit, and we can use this passage to rush into the camp in one fell swoop! As for other places, there are many traps and fences, which cannot allow the soldiers to rush into the enemy camp in the first place! ”

"Look at here, here and here, respectively, the stables, the enemy camping area and the tent, after the soldiers rush in, first cut off the reins of all the horses in the stable, and then set fire, the horses will be frightened, scatter in all directions, and then divide a part to attack the tent, as long as the general of the cadre army Niu Dali, the cadre army loses its command, the dragon will be leaderless, and the rest of the people will attack the camp area of the cadre army with all their might, the cadre army will inevitably be defeated and scattered, and then our army will chase and kill, and it will be a complete victory!"

Pang Faqi nodded again and again, "Very good! General Liu, you have been to the camp of the cadre army, and you also drew the defense map of the enemy camp, you know best how to fight, this government wants you to lead troops to attack the enemy camp at night, I don't know what you think? ”

Liu Gon had already guessed that Pang Faqi would let him lead the team, and without hesitation, he hugged his fists and said: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Pang Fa laughed, "Then how many men does General Liu need?" ”

Liu Gon replied, "At least two thousand!" ”

Pang Faqi couldn't laugh, if Liu Gon took away 2,000 people, wouldn't there be only 1,000 people left in this Nuoda's Jiangxia City, except for the 100 people who maintained law and order in the city and were responsible for patrolling, only 900 people could really be used for battle, and these 900 people had to guard against the four city walls and city gates, on average, there were only more than 230 people on each wall and city gate, this force was too thin, in case the night attack failed, the city would be defended with this manpower, but I was afraid that as soon as the cadre army arrived, it would be broken in less than a day.

Pang Faqi hesitated, his forehead wrinkled with deep wrinkles, "There are only a thousand cavalry in the cadre army, and there is also a part of the riverside to control the ferry wharf, why does General Liu need so many people?" ”

Liu Gon looked at Zhu Zhu and said: "The last general has observed, these cadres are not ordinary soldiers, they are well-trained, they are extremely fierce!" When we went to the camp today, we saw that they were still practicing the method of foot combat, which shows that these cadres are not only proficient in cavalry warfare, cavalry and archery, but also proficient in infantry combat! The combat effectiveness of our soldiers cannot be compared with this cadre army at all, and the last general is not the one who will destroy his prestige, but he is really worried that if he brings too few soldiers and horses, not only will he not be able to make meritorious contributions, but he will fail because of the lack of troops! ”

Pang Faqi rubbed his face, got up and walked back and forth a few times and said, "This matter will be considered by the official again, and I will give you an answer later!" ”

"Okay, I'll get ready first!"

Liu Gon left the Taishou Mansion and came directly in the direction of the West City Gate, and on the way to come, he also sent someone to call the two henchmen to meet on the West City Gate Tower.

It was his henchman Liang Dagui who was guarding the West City Gate in this matter, and Liang Dagui immediately stepped forward to salute when he saw Liu Gon coming: "General, didn't you go to the Qianjun camp to discuss the matter of surrendering?" ”

Liu Gon looked left and right, Liang Dagui immediately spread the people around him, and Liu Gon snorted coldly and said: "What is the matter of discussing surrender, the real purpose of Pang Faqi is for me to explore the vigilance and defense deployment of the enemy camp, and the negotiation of surrender is just a pretense!" He ordered me to lead troops to attack the camp tonight, and I knew that I couldn't shirk it, so he said that he wanted 2,000 soldiers and horses, but he didn't agree, saying that he would consider it! ”

Liang Dagui said: "General, if Pang Faqi promises to give you 2,000 soldiers and horses, will you really go?" If you go, will you not be able to give up the city? That's a lot less credit! ”

Liu Gon pondered, raised his head and said: "If Pang Faqi really promised to give me two thousand soldiers and horses, then I will pretend to be sick and suddenly have dysentery, the only people who can really lead the troops in Jiangxia City are me and Pang Faqi, if I can't lead the troops to attack at night, Pang Faqi can only lead the troops in person, but I guess this old fox will definitely guard against me, he has always trusted me, he will only bring a thousand people at most, and after he leaves, we will ······be like this."

Liang Dagui nodded again and again when he heard this, "Understand, I will cooperate with the general at the end of the day!" ”

Soon, Liu Gon's other two henchmen, Wu Guang and Tong Qianjin, arrived together, and after meeting Liu Gon, Liu Gon told these two people his thoughts again, and the two immediately said that they would follow him.

Taishou House.

Pang Dangdang asked, "Daddy, Liu Gon said that the night attack needs 2,000 people, why didn't you agree to him?" ”

Pang Fa shook his head and said: "Stealing the camp is not the more soldiers, the better, there are less than 1,000 people in the camp in total, but it is necessary to use 2,000 people to sneak attack, no matter how you say it, and the more people, the more likely it is to be discovered on the way to the enemy camp, although the reason Liu Gon said is also valid, but it always feels a bit far-fetched for his father!" ”

"Also, if you really give him 2,000 people, if he surrenders to the cadre army with these 2,000 people, then there will only be 1,000 people in our city, and as soon as the cadre army arrives, more than 1,000 people will not be able to withstand the siege of the cadre army!"

Pang Dangdang was a little unconvinced, "Daddy, are you worried that Liu Gon is unreliable?" It can't be, right? This person was born and grew up in the Great Song Dynasty, and his wife and children are all in the Great Song Dynasty, if he surrenders to the army, he is not afraid that the court will ask his wife and children for guilt? ”

Pang Faqi asked: "Are there still few generals and officials of our dynasty who have surrendered to the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Qianguo State in recent years?" Have they ever been afraid that the court will ask their wives and children for their crimes? Those people's hearts are very dark, as long as they can survive, any wife and children are floating clouds, and when they get to the Qianguo, they can marry wives and have children! ”

Pang Dangdang thought for a while and said: "If Daddy doesn't give Liu Gon 2,000 men and horses, then he refuses to lead his troops to attack the enemy camp, what should Daddy do?" ”

Pang Faqi pondered for a long time and said, "In order to save your grandmother, mother, and younger siblings, we have to go to the camp to steal them, and only in this way can we have a chance to rescue them!" Liu Gon wants 2,000 people, and his father naturally can't give him 2,000 people, so the only way is to bring 1,000 people to steal the camp for his father, you have to stay in the city to control the soldiers and horses, and keep an eye on Liu Gon, because my father always feels that Liu Gon is not right, and it is not strange if he does something rebellious, once it really happens, you have to put down the chaos at the first time, and you must not be soft on such people, understand! ”

"Understood! By the way, when does Daddy plan to take his troops out of the city? ”

Pang Fa thought for a while and said: "You can't wait until after midnight at the earliest, and if you set off too early, you will be easily discovered by the scouts and guard posts of the cadre army!" ”

Pang Dangdang said: "In this case, the messenger should be able to bring back Xiao Dashuai's latest order before Daddy leads the troops out of the city, why don't Daddy wait for the messenger to come back before making a decision?" Maybe the order from above will change again."

Pang Faqi thought about his son's words for a while, and felt that it made sense, and everything should wait for the messenger to return from the other side of the river.

"It's getting dark now, you go and arrange manpower quickly, and set off as soon as it gets dark, and you must send the messenger safely to the river!"

"Yes!"
