After the military order was given, Chao Gai slapped the table and said: "This battle is life and death, if you can't take the state capital, don't come back to see me, let's go."

"Yes." The generals agreed, and each set off with hundreds of troops.

Zhu Wu, Niu Gao, and Huang Xin formed a cavalry team of 600 men, which stood by in Jeju and went to support whichever way did not go well.

The entire military headquarters has also entered a wartime state, and all personnel are not allowed to take leave or go out. The Intelligence Department and the Special Operations Division were even busier, and the messengers and intelligence officers were all in and out. Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Zhu Wu, Gongsun Sheng and others sat firmly in the Chinese military tent and commanded the actions of the Shulu military horses.

Why do you send three or five hundred cavalry to fight a state capital, the most one way is also Qin Ming Yang Zhi's 600 cavalry to take Laizhou, and the rest are the strength of a battalion, 300 cavalry or 500 infantry. This starts from the military principle of the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to prevent the local officials from becoming bigger, the imperial court unified the main forces to the imperial court management, known as the forbidden army. There are very few troops in local state capitals, such as Jeju Prefecture, where there were originally only about 700 militia regiments that trained Hwangan, and the so-called militia was a militia, which was not part of the regular army at all, and some of them could not even get together any people, let alone combat effectiveness. The general state capital is four or five hundred soldiers, only in places that the imperial court attaches great importance to, or near the border gates, there will be heavy troops, such as Qingzhou, Murong Prefect's sister is the emperor's concubine, so there are heavy soldiers, and there are many soldiers. Dongping Mansion and Dongchang Mansion are the routes of the Eastern Front to guard against the Liao soldiers going south, so there are also heavy troops, and there are few soldiers in other places.

Wu Yong said: "Gao Lian goes back, it will take time for the imperial court to send troops again, should we transfer the cavalry on Jeju Island back." ”

Gongsun Sheng also said: "If we only defend Jeju, our current strength is enough, but now that we have sent all the battalions of troops and horses, if the imperial army comes to attack us, we can mobilize less than 9,000 soldiers, how can we resist the enemy." ”

Chao Gai also calculated that the army in Dongpyeongfu was almost more than 3,000 people, the navy army was about 3,000 people, and the archers and infantry reserves in Jeju headquarters added up to about 3,000 people, and the total number was indeed about 8,000.

Chao Gai said with a smile: "Since you have done this, you must have already passed the test, although the number of troops is small, the training is good, and there are no more soldiers in the fine, not to mention that we still have a lot of foreign aid." Didn't I go out some time ago, didn't we talk about it at the time? ”

Wu Yong suddenly realized, no wonder Chao Tuan was not in a hurry. Gongsun Sheng didn't know about this, and asked: "Brother also knows the truth, let us be good advisers." ”

Chao Gai pointed to the map and said: "Hu Sanniang has not been idle in the past few years, he has opened dozens of miles of barren mountains and planted countless fruits and dried fruits, and he has carefully selected two thousand militias from foreign tenants and Sanzhuang Zhuangding, Pang Wanchun has also taught archery in the past, and the strength of the training is comparable to that of our soldiers, and he can enter the battle at any time." ”

Gongsun Sheng nodded: "Hu Sanniang is a heroic woman, these two thousand military horses can be of great use." ”

Chao Gai pointed to the salt field again and said: "The salt field is a large military station, and the official establishment has 1,500 naval troops from the Kongyang Department and 1,000 cavalry from the Shi Jin Department. In addition, the last time I went over, I arranged for the formation and training of 2,000 infantry, and a few days ago, Feige sent a report on the situation, saying that the 2,000 infantry had basic combat strength. When necessary, we can abandon the salt field and transfer troops back, 4,500 soldiers, which is also a very good combat force. ”

Huang Xin, Pang Wanchun and others were also very surprised in the future, they didn't think that there were so many soldiers in the elite of the salt farm, Chao Gai explained: "This is all provided to us by the magistrates, they have hollowed out their minds to oppress the people, and if they are in trouble, they will not help the people, so our salt farm will recruit so many strong men." ”

"The third force is in Jingcheng Mountain, there are two battalions of Bian Xiang and Luda, and the deputy generals are Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, and Shan Shiqi. Ma Ling is also in charge of the horse farm and the recruitment of strong men in Jingcheng. There are important places such as steel mills, carpentry factories, grain depots, and horse farms, and there are nearly 5,000 elite soldiers. Chao Gai said.

Huang Xin couldn't help it, and exclaimed: "Chao Tuan Lian is really unexpected, there are so many soldiers hiding here. ”

Wu Yong said: "Although there are many soldiers and horses here, there are too many factories, and the geographical location is important, so it is not as easy to put qΓ¬ as the salt field, which means that it is difficult to call these thousands of soldiers under normal circumstances." ”

Chao Gai said: "There are still more than 10,000 troops in these three places, if the imperial court wants to send troops to attack our three places, these three places can play a great role in diverting them." ”

When the generals heard this, they were full of confidence, and after discussing the matter, Chao Gaisan would let the generals be busy with their own affairs.

Let's say that the troops of each battalion assigned to each other brought their own guides, reorganized the army and horses, and drove to their respective destinations, without bringing food and grass, and marched lightly. The cavalry is far away, Mi Sheng's battalion of 500 people are all infantry, and they will start after lunch, only more than ten generals are horsemen, and the rest are on foot. Jeju City to Yanzhou City is only more than 100 miles, Mi Sheng is also fighting, Jeju military talent wants to get ahead to make meritorious contributions, so this time the opportunity is rare, more than 500 soldiers rest for a while in the evening and then rush again, and when Yanzhou City is already one or two o'clock in the morning. In those years, there were no electric lights, and the city wall of Yanzhou was dark, and the city gate was closed, only a few lanterns on the city tower were still illuminated.

Yanju Mansion is next to Jeju Mansion, which is larger than Jeju Mansion in terms of area, and there is also a soldier and horse eunuch, with 1,500 soldiers stationed, and the prefect's surname is Gong. However, the city of Yanzhou is not big, it belongs to the scale of a small city, there are only 50,000 or 60,000 people in the city, and the city wall is not tall, the city wall is less than five meters, and the ladder at the high point can go up.

The deputy general proposed: "Battalion Commander Mi, let's bring a hook, climb the city wall, and ensure that we will take this Yanzhou City overnight." ”

Mi Sheng shook his head: "Those who are in a hurry are far away, the brothers are tired, take a good rest, and attack the city in the cold." ”

Immediately, Mi Sheng and the soldiers did not set up camp, but rested in the woods outside the city, and the sky was dark, that is, at half past four in the morning, the city gate army was about to open the city gate, because after five o'clock in the morning, the nearby villages would come to sell vegetables.

The city gate army was sleepy-eyed, yawned and opened the city gate, and suddenly felt dizzy, so that the Jeju army soldiers gave a stick to the head and knocked unconscious. Entering the gap in the city gate, he quickly controlled the soldiers guarding the city gate, Mi Sheng was very merciful, because Chao Gai said before the action that these are all his own people, don't kill if you can, of course, you have to beat hard.

The soldiers tied the dozens of soldiers guarding the gate with cowhide ropes and put them into the gatehouse, and then the hΓ²u brigade entered the city in a hurry.

Go straight to the prison house, this prison is also a little famous, called Li Ziyong, five big and three thick, not very old, in his thirties, energetic, love to visit the green building, the dust women in Yanzhou City like him more, everyone gave him a nickname called Yanzhou Thirteen Lang.

Thirteen Lang's home is okay, the middle family, the Gaomen compound, it is the morning shΓ ng, the soldiers who guard the home are confused, it makes people faint, Mi Sheng took dozens of ** swayed into the thirteen Lang's house, and the thirteen Lang prisoner was taken out of his fifth lady's bed, and the fifth lady wore a small dress, scared and screamed.

Mi Sheng didn't have time to appreciate other people's wives, so he grabbed Shisanlang and went to the living room, put a sharp steel knife on his neck, and asked directly: "Time is pressing, don't talk nonsense, I want to die and live." ”

Thirteen Lang said: "Of course I want to live, where are you heroes, if you have any requirements, just say." ”

Mi Sheng pointed to his military uniform and armband, and said: "Rub your eyes and look here, Jeju Army, my name is Mi Sheng, the battalion commander, I was ordered to take over Yanzhou City, if you want to live, you should immediately gather the grassroots officers of Yanzhou City to discuss things." ”

Li Dujian looked at it, but it was not Mi Sheng, and he had seen it a few times on weekdays, and said: "If you want to live, if you want to live, I will do it." ”

Immediately, dozens of grassroots officers in the army came in a hurry, and Mi Sheng didn't have time to be soft, so he directly asked people to tie them up, and they were all tied up one by one, and then hΓ²u went straight to the mansion.

At this time, it was already five o'clock, and other prefects were probably still sleeping, but this Gong prefect was influenced by Jeju, very diligent and loving the people, and got up early in the morning, and played a trip to Tai Chi in the backyard. ”

Governor Gong said: "What is the wolf howling, I'm fine, what's the matter." ”

"The Jeju army has come in, they have taken control of the city, and now they are outside the gate." Dutou said.

Governor Gong sat on the ground and couldn't speak for a long time.

At this time, I heard the screams of the officials, and the two dozen or so officials who followed the guards in front of them forced dozens of wolf-like soldiers to hold back with crossbow arrows, and retreated to the backyard.

Mi Sheng said: "Is it Lord Gong, I know you're here, come out, I'm Mi Sheng of the Jeju Army." Mi Sheng tried his best to keep his voice soft, but if you think about him, he is a murderous general, and the softer he speaks, the more terrifying it is.

Governor Gong forcibly raised his official authority, flicked his sleeves, came to the door and asked, "Do you want to rebel?" ”

Master Gong seemed to have a lot of people, and his own soldiers and horses were also in prison, but they were just tied up.

Mi Sheng said: "Gao Yu framed me Jeju, as a last resort, my family Tuanlian intends to unify the jurisdiction of Shandong, you are a literati, Tuanlian has an explanation, don't give you a rough move, if you are willing to cooperate with the prefect of Yanzhou Mansion, if you don't cooperate, you can pat your ass and leave, but you can't stay in the way." ”

Governor Gong's house is embarrassed, this is an obvious rebellion, staying as a prefect is rebellion, escaping and losing the city is also full of heads, left and right are not a thing.

Seeing him hesitate, Mi Sheng said: "You are not far from Jeju in Yanzhou, how do you know Jeju very well, you have feelings for the people of Yanzhou, how can you leave easily, it is better to stay, it is better to stabilize the people's hearts." ”
