Chapter 4: Cai Wei (No. 2 Middle School)

"You're crazy!" Wang Ermao screamed quietly. Out of respect for his good friend, he quickly looked in the direction indicated by Cheng Mingzhen with his gaze, and then added in a slightly higher voice: "The only good thing is that no one would have thought that we would choose the strongest opponent to start the training. In case of a loss in the war, we have no chance to withdraw at all! ”

"So once you cross the river, don't even think about withdrawing!" Cheng Mingzhen grinned, and his attitude was very resolute. "It's a good idea to take the initiative to attack, but if we attack Wei Deshen first, even if we completely annihilate the Wuyang County soldiers, we will have to deal with the other two next. A battle is more difficult than a battle, and the more we fight, the fewer people there are, which is not cost-effective. And if you take Sang Xianhe's soldiers and horses first, as long as you defeat him. The other two officers and soldiers will definitely be frightened and flee! ”

This idea is novel, but it is also realistic. \ Among the three Sui armies on the other side, Sang Xianhe's more than 5,000 Zuowuhou elites had the strongest combat effectiveness, and Wei Deshen's more than 4,000 Wuyang soldiers had the weakest combat effectiveness. As for the more than 5,000 Xiaoguo in Duan Lingming's department, although the equipment is extremely sophisticated, most of the soldiers are rogue children of the Eastern Capital, so their combat effectiveness is only a few points stronger than that of the county soldiers, but their strength is very limited. If the Zhaozhou army first cleaned up the Wuyang soldiers according to Wang Ermao's suggestion, they would have to fight at least two or three battles in a row. And if he can defeat the elite of Zuo Wuhou first, Duan Lingming, who was born in Gongzi, will feel that the situation is not good, and he will definitely choose to retreat with the whole army. As for the county soldiers of Wei Deshen's department, based on Cheng Mingzhen's understanding of the old opponents, the treasure of the county guard has always been not to seek merit but to be without fault. As long as the news of Sang Xianhe's defeat spreads, even if Wei Deshen is determined to continue to fight with the Zhaozhou army, Yuan Bao will be reluctant to lose this bit of family wealth in his hand. \

Wang Ermao was not a mediocre talent, especially after the previous training in Wagang Mountain, he had already glimpsed the way of the soldiers. After a little pondering, he understood Cheng Mingzhen's thoughts, nodded, and said in a low voice: "That's right." It's just a little too risky. That Zuo Wuhou is not an ordinary official army, let's talk about defeat, even if he can't stick to him on the other side, the other two official troops will inevitably come around and pick up ready-made bargains! ”

"That's why I need your and Xie Yingdeng's help!" Cheng Mingzhen nodded lightly, indicating that he accepted Wang Ermao's reminder. "I've carefully observed these days, and the morale of the Marquis Zuo Wu on the other side is very high, but the pace of the soldiers is obviously tired. \ The two armies are really in a hurry, they may not be able to wield all their combat strength! ”

"Yes!" Wang Ermao glanced at Zuo Wuhou's continuous military camp again, and nodded with a smile: "They ran all the way from Beijing to Yanmen Pass in the autumn. After beating the Turks, he was sent to Hebei by the imperial court without even breathing. No matter how sturdy a person is, running down such four or five thousand miles, it is estimated that his legs will be finely walked! ”

"They are guests here, and they are not familiar with the currents, the weather, and the terrain. The brothers crossed the river and attacked, and they took the initiative in time. So it's really ...... fight" Cheng Mingzhen smiled very confidently, revealing a mouth full of neat white teeth. "It may not be known who killed the deer!"

Infected by his smile, Wang Ermao's face also bloomed with a bright smile, "Say, what do you want me to do with Xiao Xie?" Sneaked across the river and cut off Wei Deshen's head? ”

"That's good, provided you have the ability to come back alive!" Cheng Mingzhen glanced at Wang Ermao and smiled and encouraged. \

It's a joke, of course, that the same thing can be done over and over again. Some time ago, the Wu'an County Guard was assassinated because he overestimated his influence. Unexpectedly, although Cheng Mingzhen's power did not expand to the county seat, it was full of eyeliner everywhere in Yongnian City. Without waiting for him to make a move, he immediately used thunderous means to preemptively attack. And Wei Deshen, as the commander of the first army, must have a lot of guards around him, plus there is a lesson from the past of the Wu'an County Guard, the local officials who get the news will definitely take strict precautions, and it is impossible to give the assassin a chance to make a move.

"Whose head is Cheng Jiaotou calculating again?" Xie Yingdeng happened to come on the horse, heard the laughter of the two brothers, and said quickly.

"He's thinking about filming you to assassinate Sang Xianhe, do you have the guts?" Wang Ermao turned his head and shouted loudly.

"That's not courage, it's stupidity!" Xie Yingdeng didn't take Wang Ermao's joke seriously, and shrugged his shoulders with a smile. These days, he stayed in the Zhaozhou Army, on the one hand, to find an opportunity to persuade Cheng Mingzhen to form an alliance with the Wagang Army, and on the other hand, to subconsciously observe Cheng Mingzhen. But to Xie Yingdeng's disappointment, his ancestral art of observing people in the Xie family in Jiangnan did not work very well for Cheng Mingzhen. It is difficult to describe the other person's every move in simple words such as wisdom or stupidity and recklessness. \To some extent, Cheng Mingzhen's performance is very much in line with his real age, full of vitality but undecided direction. The actions at this moment may be extremely wise, but the next decision seems to be a bit impulsive and immature.

He did try to carve out a paradise in the troubled times on his own, it can be said that he is kind-hearted, whether it was when he ordered the bloody Wu'an County to guard the full gate, or when he ordered the execution of subordinates who violated military discipline, Xie Yingdeng did not see half a moment of hesitation on his face. If this person is brutal and easy to kill, Xie Yingdeng once saw him release the captured wounded soldiers on the spot during the retreat, and each of them was given three days of dry food, so as not to starve to death on the side of the road before the other party found his own people. If this kind of behavior is regarded as a scheming, Cheng Mingzhen's current behavior of standing in front of Zhang Jincheng desperately cannot be explained. \After all, Zhang Jin said that there was no longer any use value, and in order to protect this person, the Zhaozhou army had to independently resist the siege of the three-way army. Xie Yingdeng also regarded Cheng Mingzhen's act of rescuing Zhang Jincheng as an irresponsible impulse due to his youth, but through observation, he was surprised to see that at the same time that Cheng Mingzhen led the army to meet the officers and soldiers, the Jade Rakshasa Cuckoo led a part of the female soldiers to quietly rush to the Purple Mountain and Dog Mountain on the west side of Wu'an County. This also means that even if the Zhaozhou army is defeated at Zhangshui, the brothers will have the opportunity to calmly retreat into the mountains and lie dormant, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback.

It's an inscrutable one. Xie Yingdeng commented in his heart, and on the surface, he respected Cheng Mingzhen more and more. He didn't believe that Cheng Mingzhen's intelligence would be naïve enough to think that assassinating the enemy general would break up the enemy's offensive, and he didn't believe that Cheng Mingzhen would take risks with a person like himself as a guest general. \ This is exactly the case, after a few words of greeting, Cheng Mingzhen said with a smile: "I am planning to find an opportunity to cross the river and sneak attack Zuo Wuhou on the other bank. But this battle may be very difficult to fight. The Zhaozhou army can't fight three with one, so they need to think of a good way to drag Wei Deshen and Duan Lingming, so that they can't give Sang Xianhe a helping hand! ”

"It's not easy, but it's not like it's impossible!" Xie Yingdeng didn't think Cheng Mingzhen's idea was so surprising, he frowned and thought about it, and commented in a low voice.

"My initial idea is to take advantage of the fact that the ice is not completely melting, and lead the soldiers and horses to cross the river at night and attack the camp of Zuo Wuhou. The New Year is coming soon, and the moonlight will not be too bright these days. \ So it is difficult for Wei Deshen and Duan Lingming to judge our main direction of attack. At that time, Wang Ermao and you will each take 200 brothers and ...... at Saddle and the small beach."

"You can give it a try! The key is on Wei Deshen's side, Duan Lingming is a rough material, so there is no need to worry! Xie Yingdeng's eyes lit up, and he responded quickly.

In the case that the strength is inferior to the other party, the soldiers act treacherously, which is a practice that is highly respected by the generals. His family has a family background, so it is easy to accept Cheng Mingzhen's idea. But at the same time, I was both impressed and very puzzled in my heart, as a hero from a humble background, how could Cheng Mingzhen have such a strong insight into the current battle situation?

He's just the son of a general, he hasn't read for a few days, and he hasn't fought a few serious battles! As the best of his peers, Xie Yingden has never looked at a friend with such a complex mentality. \ Among the young people he knew, he admired Xu Maogong in his peers, because the other party relied on his extraordinary wisdom and open-mindedness, and almost supported the entire Wagang with one hand. He also admired Li Xu in the official army, because the other party not only had great military achievements, but also could be regarded as the same master as him. And only Cheng Xiaojiu, who does not have a prominent family background like Xu Maogong, nor has unparalleled good luck like Li Xu, but he stumbled out a sky of his own in the troubled times, and stumbled to make the three counties of Pingen a unique landscape.

"What about you, can you try this ......." Cheng Mingzhen's conversation with Wang Ermao continued to reach his ears, but none of them were registered by Xie Ying in his heart. With chaotic and complicated thoughts, he followed Cheng Mingzhen and the others back to the barracks. Then, with the same complicated feelings, I saw Cheng Mingzhen discussing with his henchmen and completing a bold attack plan.

When assigning tasks, the officers and men of the Zhaozhou Army behaved very arrogantly, as if they did not take the enemy troops on the other side several times their size into account. They have a habitual trust and blind obedience to their own manager, and do not think that following the manager will lose the battle. Xie Yingdeng saw with his own eyes that Wang Fei and Duan Qing were arguing in order to join the first wave of attack sequences, as if they were half a step behind, which was a shame.

This made him feel even more jealous, because there was a time when the Wagang heroes were so confident and united. It's just that Li Mi was recruited later, and after that, everything is different from before.

"There is no set time for the attack. Once the river surface has the conditions for forced crossing, start attacking that night! "Cheng Mingzhen's last few words, Xie Yingdeng finally didn't miss it." Each of them went back to restrain their subordinates, and they were not allowed to leak military aircraft, and when they attacked, they were not allowed to hold everyone back! ”

The state generals stood tall and solemn, and slammed the cuirass with their fists. Xie Yingdeng was once familiar with this situation, but now, he faintly felt a little lost and lonely.
