Chapter 212: I Have a Good Plan
Hearing the call, the two hurried out of the ashram and hurried into the hall where everyone had gathered.
"General Zhao, what's wrong?"
Zhao Tianyou said with an anxious expression: "In the Yuan Soldier camp under the Wudian Mountains, there are only a few hundred soldiers who are used as a disguise, and Dong Wenbing's 30,000 cavalry is no longer there at all, and the scouts sent out have not found their traces?" ”
When everyone in the government heard this, they looked at each other and no one knew the situation, and a clerk who was in charge of sorting out and recording the military situation saw that everyone was silent, and said in a low voice: "There is no abnormal situation found in the report when I returned, but there are scouts sent out all the way, and there has been no news for two days." If there are a lot of such situations on weekdays, the scouts will encounter all kinds of things when they go out, and it is normal for them not to come back for a few days, but this time they are scouting in the southeast direction, as long as they don't go back and forth in the river, they will be very fast......"
"You're here to show me the way, my lords, what else is there going on in this direction?"
Zhao Tianyou pointed to the map on the table, looking at the southeast of Guangzhou, there is nothing to do, the rivers are dense and the water is dense, sending Zhu Qing here is almost the same, Dong Wenbing's Yuan soldiers should not run here!
"It's not good, there are Panyu's township troops stationed in Humen Town, about 3,000 people, because a batch of grain is about to arrive, so it has not been withdrawn to the city yet." As soon as a quartermaster looked in the direction the secretary was pointing, he immediately thought about the grain.
The two places are separated by hundreds of miles, and there are mountains and rivers in between, and there are more than a dozen rural towns, can Dong Wenbing's main force arrive quietly? Zhao Tianyou was a little unconvinced. The cavalry of the Yuan army has strong mobility, which means that the traffic conditions are good and there are roads to go in the plains, and in this place with many mountains and mountains, it is simply too difficult to hide from countless people.
But with Zhao Tianyou's intuition, this incident is likely to have happened, and two days is enough time for Dong Wenbing to wipe out the township army in Humen Town, and even capture the grain ships in Guangzhou, and generously collect them for his own use.
How did Dong Wenbing do it, then you have to ask him to know, the key now is that if he has arrived in Humen Town, what will happen next?
Because Guangzhou City is very relieved about the wharf and the mouth of the Pearl River, there are gunboats patrolling Hong Kong Island, which will not give the Yuan soldiers a chance, and even the township military and civilian groups and people within the Panyu range are not as nervous as outside the East City.
Although there are a large number of these people and township soldiers, their combat ability is a little weak, what will happen to the elite cavalry of Dong Wenbing, who is full of morale? Not to mention the officials in Guangzhou, Zhao Tianyou didn't dare to imagine it.
"It's my negligence, I didn't report back for two days and didn't be alert, it's all my fault, I'm sorry adults!" The clerk was depressed, and his face drooped and he was about to cry.
Wen Tianxiang stretched out one hand and signaled: "It has nothing to do with you, it is normal for the scout to not reply to the news for two days, and this calculation has not been officially confirmed yet!" I need everyone to think about it quickly, and think about how we should deal with it, and what Dong Wenbing may attack next. ”
Panyu and other places in the south of Guangzhou City, there are many small rivers like cattle hair, the cavalry of the Yuan army is very unsuitable for fighting on such terrain, the last time Lu Shikui occupied Guangzhou, the officials and soldiers of the Song army were in the retreat to Panyu to gain a foothold, so that Lu Shikui, who was a cavalry, had no way.
Li Heng's 100,000 troops besieged Guangzhou, and they also started from both sides, and did not send troops in the direction of Nancheng, because they knew that the terrain here was very difficult to fight, and it was easy to be led into a predicament by the Song army.
But if Dong Wenbing really occupies Panyu, it is equivalent to cutting off the connection between Hong Kong Island and Guangzhou City, although it will not be completely cut off, but the traffic will be within the attack range of the Yuan soldiers.
The food supplies and other goods from the sea to Guangzhou will not be able to be sent to Guangzhou smoothly, and it can also be said that Panyu is occupied by the Yuan army, so the city of Guangzhou is equal to half broken. However, these are all assumptions, and Zhao Tianyou also thinks that Dong Wenbing can't do it for the time being, after all, the number of township military and civilian groups in Panyu is also 20,000, and Tianda can't occupy it quietly.
"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, please listen to me."
Zhao Tianyou stood in the middle hall, looked around, and the somewhat noisy sound disappeared immediately, and everyone's eyes converged on Zhao Tianyou.
"Eighty percent of the Yuan soldiers have arrived in Humen Town, and our scouts have not been able to come back, it is likely that they have been poisoned, but Dong Wenbing should not have crossed the river, so Panyu's defense is the top priority.
Lord Ling, your 8,000 cavalry is divided into two parts, I will take 3,000 cavalry to send Wudianling, if there is any fraud among them, retreat at the touch of a button and lead the pursuing Yuan soldiers to Balizhuang, and use the ambush mines to clean them up.
The other part is best led by you personally, lead the boat down the river, and board the west bank of the Pearl River at the dock in front of Humen Town, your task is to cooperate with the township army and civilian regiment, and defend Panyu so as not to fall into the hands of reinforcements, I will send men and horses and weapons to support you.
If it weren't for this clerk today, I wouldn't have thought of Humen Town, and Panyu's defense would not have been strengthened, so I suggest that Lord Zhang, give this clerk a heavy reward, haha, then you will look at it! ”
Without waiting for Zhang Zhensun to speak, Ling Zhen had already begun to arrange for his subordinates to pass on orders, so that all his most valuable cavalry could prepare for battle, and in Ling Zhen's consciousness, the orders that Zhao Tianyou said seemed to be as important as Master Zhang.
Wen Tianxiang nodded at Zhang Zhensun and said in a low voice: "Whether he agrees to dominate or not, whether he accepts you as his subordinates or not, your subordinates already respect him very much, and look forward to him for his horse, isn't it good?" ”
"Yes, Lord Wen Gao Jian, so he will have to accept it if he doesn't accept it in the future! In this way, I have the bottom in my heart, in fact, I have always been worried about the conflict with Zhang Shijie, I almost lit the sky lantern, and it was not the face of the emperor's family, but the face of his Zhang Shijie.
It's okay for him to hate me alone, but I'm worried that if he angers these officials around me at that time, won't his future be ruined? And the people of this city have been following you to resist the Yuan and kill the enemy, in case I am questioned by the court, do you think they can do it? If you are dissatisfied and resist, won't you hurt a lot of lives, and won't the Huangquan Road be full of unjust souls. ”
Wen Tianxiang smiled, but the smile was ugly, the soldier died for the confidant, and the woman was the one who pleased herself, but who is the civil and military officials for now? This Zhang Zhensun's personal life and death have been put aside, and he is concerned about the future and safety of his subordinates and the people, and he is indeed a talented and virtuous good official, but he can no longer coexist with Zhang Shijie, so he can only take the big ship of Zhao Tianyou.
"Master Wen, I'm leaving now, do you have any other instructions?"
