Liu Zhilun was even happier when he saw that there was a general flag here, a well-equipped cavalry full of fighting spirit.

I'm not afraid of not knowing the goods, I'm afraid of comparing the goods, Huang Han's iron riders are all big men, and their quality has surpassed the few families under the generals under Liu Zhilun.

Huang Han made a condition and said: "I want to concentrate all the cavalry under the command of the lord to set up a battalion alone, and the humble post leads fifty-six horsemen to be the commander of the cavalry battalion, I don't know if the lord can do it?" ”

According to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the battalion should be three cavalry and seven infantry under normal circumstances, but all the cavalry in Liu Zhilun's 10,000 people combined is not even a thousand.

Among these cavalrymen, there are also four or five hundred family members who belong to dozens of military attachés, and the characteristics of family members are also ridiculous aspects of the Ming Dynasty army.

The military attache took his family members to the battle, and the imperial court had to give them their true colors and folded colors higher than the standards of the battalion soldiers, and these family members only recognized the head of the family and did not recognize the imperial court, which belonged to the nature of private soldiers acquiesced by the imperial court.

The system of the Ming Dynasty led to the generals not knowing the soldiers, the family was the general's reliance, and the battalion soldiers were the men and horses of the imperial court.

The cavalry of Liu Zhilun's department minus the families of those military attaches was only less than 500 cavalry.

Liu Zhilun's eyes rolled, and after thinking for a moment, he thought that it would be harmless to hand over all these few cavalry to Huang Han's command, and it could be regarded as decisive, so he agreed with a smile:

"It's completely possible, but there are less than five hundred cavalry under the command of this official, and General Huang must take these horses well."

Huang Sheng knew that Liu Zhilun was about the same as a beggar's head, and he didn't expect him to have many cavalry, so he promised: "That's nature, every soldier's life must be respected, and lowly positions will be like walking on thin ice." ”

After negotiating the conditions, Liu Zhilun took Huang Han's hand, and the two returned to the camp hand in hand to show their favor.

Huang Han saw that people were so polite and began to tremble, he said:

"The humble duty knows that the lord is ready to lead the army to point the sword at Zunhua, and the humble duty thinks that the soldiers are noble and fast, and the lord can concentrate all the young and strong soldiers to raid Zunhua with only three days of dry food. The lowly will lead the cavalry to take the lead in charging and killing, and our army can completely take the city in one fell swoop with lightning speed. ”

Liu Zhilun pondered for a long time and said: "General Huang's soldiers are dangerously aggressive, Dongnu and Tartar are accustomed to cavalry attacks, and the strong men in our cavalry and infantry are all involved in the sneak attack. ”

"My lord, as far as I know, the Jiannu armor people in Zunhua are only 800 people, and thousands of our army have gone up, and it is a surprise attack, and the probability of success is not low!"

Liu Zhilun's head shook like a rattle, and he said: "Otherwise, otherwise, General Huang just came, I don't know that those soldiers are difficult to bring, if you rashly divide the troops, the result is really difficult to predict."

Besides, it will have strength when it is clenched into a fist and hit out, thinking that when the Salhu War, if the Ming army did not enter the army by different routes, even if it could not defeat the wild boar skin, it would not end up in a big defeat. ”

No, what people say makes sense, Huang Han lacked a reason to convince Liu Zhilun and had to give up.

But Huang Han did not give up his confidence in strengthening Liu Zhilun's seizure of Zunhua, and he proposed:

"The humble post suggested that the whole army get up early tomorrow and hurry, and strive to rush to the city of Zunhua in three days. The defenders of Zunhua City are really only eight hundred, as long as our army takes Zunhua before the arrival of the Jiannu reinforcements, we will not only get a lot of food and salary, but also have a strong city with enough grain and grass to defend. ”

Liu Zhilun didn't want to rush to Zunhua in a hurry, but unfortunately he organized a rapid march in the case of low morale, and he really didn't know how many people could reach the ground in the end!

In history, he really belongs to a tragic figure who has the intention to kill the enemy and is unable to return to the sky.

Liu Zhilun sighed and said: "Alas, this official is also familiar with military books, why don't you know the speed of soldiers, but what is the situation now, a little negligence will have soldiers flee, and people's hearts are unstable. ”

Huang Han said confidently: "Haha, it's not difficult to win people's hearts." There are ways for the soldiers to take the initiative to move forward. ”

"I don't know why General Huang taught his own officer."

"Move with affection, know with reason, tempt with profit, coerce with threat, haha, it's enough to use a carrot and a stick in a word!"

"Moving with affection, knowing with reason, etc., are well known to the officials, but I don't know what a carrot and a stick are?"

Damn, the words of modern people leaked out, Huang Han haha said: "There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the adults publicly promised that as long as the soldiers who arrived in time to capture Zunhua City would be rewarded with thirty taels of silver, and those with military merits would be rewarded with double the silver and given a promotion." ”

What kind of bullshit is this, when everyone else is stupid? Liu Zhilun was extremely disappointed, and he said deflated: "Wangmei may not be useful to quench your thirst!" Now these soldiers are all hob meat, and if you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle. ”

"How can this be Wangmei's thirst, Lord Liu's words are like a mountain to be fulfilled."

Liu Zhilun exclaimed: "Then it is even more impossible, the imperial court is difficult, where is it possible to hand over hundreds of thousands of taels of snowflake silver to this official." ”

"Of course we don't need the court to give out the silver, let's lead the men and horses to attack Zunhua just to grab money, grain, and land, why not take out a part of the captured silver and distribute it to the soldiers?"

Liu Zhilun's gloomy eyes began to glow, and he wondered: "There are indeed hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in Zunhua City?" How did General Huang find out? ”

Not only that, but he saw with his own eyes that Jiannu and Tartar were carrying thousands of ordinary people to Zunhua with ox carts and carriages full of goods and goods, and those ordinary people were still carrying a lot of property on their shoulders.

The humble officials once ambushed the Jiannu, and a lot of gold and silver could always be found from the blankets they carried, which shows how many good things there should be in Zunhua, the place where the Jiannu temporarily stored the looting materials. ”

"It turned out that General Huang saw it with his own eyes, which is also reasonable, Dongnu plagued the land of Gyeonggi for dozens of days, and these beasts should have robbed a lot of goods."

Liu Zhilun has a strong sense of national honor, and has the pride and ambition to take the world as his own responsibility, listening to Huang Han's story, thinking of how many Han families will be ruined and destroyed by those barbarians accumulating so much property, his face is very ugly.

He added: "Since the Tumubao Incident, the land of Gyeonggi in the Ming Dynasty has not been affected by the war for more than a hundred years.

Dongnu and Tartar plundered my Ming Dynasty's good house, I am afraid that there are no less than 200,000 households, and the value of the gold and silver in hand is probably more than millions of taels, and it is very likely that Zunhua will be rewarded to the soldiers. ”

Huang Han saw that Liu Zhilun seemed to have the determination to break the cauldron and sink the boat, and said: "Therefore, the key to victory is speed, and it is necessary to motivate all the Ming troops to rush to Zunhua with the ruthlessness that is not afraid of running to death, and all bulky things must be discarded, even if it is a Hongyi cannon, it cannot be carried." ”
