"Ari, this time thanks to you. Otherwise, Ben will really have to give this life here. ”

When the city gate was opened, Qin Rui poured into the city with more than 1,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and Kang Maocai, as the leader and commander, couldn't help but look like he had seen his relatives at this time.

As for this, Qin Rui and the others, who risked their lives to rush into the city, naturally couldn't help but feel heartfelt warm in their hearts.

"The master of the general has the grace of reinvention for us, and for the master, the sword mountain and the sea of fire are also within my boundary."

"Hahaha, yes, yes. Come, Ari, I have now had the food and drinks prepared in the city, and I will take care of it for all of us brothers now. With that, Kang Mao took the arms of Qin Rui and the others kindly, and then led them into the city.

……

After a while, everyone was full of food and drink. At this time, Kang Mao waved his hand, asked people to remove the wine and food on the table, and then brought everyone to the council hall.

"Gentlemen, although we have successfully blocked the attack of the Chu thieves outside the city this time. But Ben Shuai expected that they would not give up. And if these thieves come again, what can you do to break the enemy? ”

"This ......" suddenly heard Kang Maocai ask, everyone in the hall, you look at me, I look at you, but for a while, they couldn't help but be speechless.

"Gentlemen. All of you are my trusted right-hand men, is it true that you have no way to do this? Seeing that everyone was silent, as if they didn't open their mouths, Kang Mao couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Hearing Kang Maocai's words, Qin Rui frowned and looked around, and then finally couldn't help but take the initiative to stand up from his seat.

"Master, there is a way for the general, but I don't know, whether to talk about it or not."

"Ari, you are really my lifesaver. If it weren't for you today, my life wouldn't have been saved. Between you and me, what should be said and should not be said. Whatever you say, just come. ”

"Then, then, the last general will say." Hearing Kang Maocai say such words in public, Qin Rui naturally had no worries.

So after a slight pause, Qin Rui, who had organized his words, couldn't help but speak, "Master General, it's not the last general to grow other people's ambitions and destroy his own prestige." It's really in this situation, with the existing strength of our department, we can't resist the menacing Chu army at all.

Now, looking at the whole city, our army has less than two thousand soldiers. With such a few soldiers and horses, don't say anything to resist the Chu thieves who are more than ten times more than us outside the city, and we can't even defend the city. Therefore, in the eyes of the last general, there is only one plan left for today. ”

"Thirty-six plans, is it the best plan?" Hearing Qin Rui's words here, how could Kang Maocai, who was already a human being, not understand what Qin Rui meant.

However, although he understands, whenever Kang Mao remembers which grandfather from a humble background he is loyal to, he can't raise the courage to leave.

So after Qin Rui's words, Kang Maocai couldn't help but become entangled.

To be honest, he also wanted to go. At the beginning, as a feudal official canonized by the Yuan Court, and a leading member of a province in the imperial court, he did not choose to fight to the end and sacrifice his life for the Yuan Court like his subordinate Yu Que, but took the initiative to surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang, whose status was far inferior to him at that time.

To make such a choice, if I am not afraid of death at all, it is obviously impossible.

But it is precisely because of this that Kang Mao is also very afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang, who forced him to surrender voluntarily.

Therefore, in his heart, Kang Maocai was really worried that Zhu Yuanzhang would use this as an excuse to punish him.

Therefore, for a while, Kang Mao really couldn't make up his mind.

"Lord General. General, you didn't run away without a fight, you resisted the 30,000 army of the Chu army for several days with only 3,000 soldiers. With such a record in front of you, it can be said that you are afraid of the enemy and retreat. You say, isn't that the truth? ”

In the end, it is an old subordinate who has followed Kang Mao for more than ten years. Kang Maocai just frowned, and Qin Rui, as a subordinate, immediately understood what Kang Maocai was worried about.

So he didn't want to die in Guichi City in vain, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he couldn't help but enlighten Kang Mao.

"Well, that's what I said. But Chizhou, in the end, is the land of my Wu army. If you let it out like this, you won't be considered an enemy? ”

"Master, you're wrong. You think, even if we defend the city and fight with this group of Chu thieves outside the city until the last moment, can we stop the Chu thieves outside the city from grabbing the grain in this Chizhou?

Master General, now we can only 'stay in the green mountains, don't worry about running out of firewood'. ”

"It's ......, okay. Then wait until tonight, and we'll break through. We just won a victory today, and the Chu thieves outside the city must not have expected that we would abandon the city at this time, and leave at this time, at the right time. ”

In the end, he is an old oilman who has lived for decades, although he is not afraid of death to the point of defection, but in the end he still values his life more seriously. So in the end, such a decision was made.

However, hearing his words, the generals in the hall couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The only death through the ages. If they could live, they would naturally not be willing to die for Zhu Yuanzhang, who had followed him for a few years.

For a while, all the generals in the hall couldn't help but praise "The master is wise!" ”

……

The next day, Guichi City also changed to a new owner.

The big red flag with the word "Wu" that had just been hung every two years was replaced, and then the black flag with the word "Chu" began to flutter on the flagpole in Guichi City.

"Hahaha, Kang Mao is a brave man in the end. Since that's it, I was scared away by Ben Shuai. Come on, immediately report to the king, and collect Chizhou Road, which has been successfully taken. In the city, looking at the banner of the word "Chu" fluttering in the wind, Ming Yuzhen finally achieved her goal.

Therefore, at this time, he was too lazy to chase and kill Kang Maocai and his more than 2,000 remnants.

Instead, he began to focus on restoring order in the city, preparing to defend the frontier position of Chizhou for Zhang Shihua's main army.

……

The words are divided into two ends. Speaking, when Chizhou's side was successfully taken by Ming Yuzhen with the evacuation of Kang Maocai.

In the south of Chizhou Road, next to Huizhou Road, the fierce war finally broke out.

But after several days of long travel, Zhao Wei, Zhang Shihui and others finally led an army of 50,000 to Huizhou Road.

Huizhou Road Wuyuan Prefecture, a civilized state city because of its abundance of high-quality tea.

And now, Zhao Wei and Zhang Shihui are leading an army of 50,000 under their command, and the first state city to be captured is here.

……

"Look, general, in the southwest of this Huizhou Road, there are hills and mountains everywhere. If we want to attack the city of Shecheng, where they are governed, our army must also capture Wuyuan Prefecture. Because only by capturing this place can our army rush to the city along the narrow official road between the dense hills.

However, this Wuyuan Prefecture is really not easy to attack, according to the report of the spies who infiltrated Wuyuan by our army, in order to prevent the sneak attack of the Quzhou Luyuan army. The Wu army was in Wuyuan Prefecture, and there were 3,000 elites left behind. And now, with the 2,000 reinforcements brought by Chen De, the deputy of the Wu army, to block our army, the strength of the troops stationed in Wuyuan Prefecture has reached 5,000 people. ”

"Hehe, five thousand. In terms of troops, our army is now ten times more than him. Stepping on this small Wuyuan Prefecture, it is not an easy thing to do, where is it difficult to attack! ”

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Shihui, who was the deputy commander of the 50,000 army, heard the counselor under Zhao Wei analyze them like this in the tent. At this time, he could be said to be full of confidence, and even couldn't help but let out a chuckle and interrupted the counselor's words.

"Pingzhang, over the years, we have been fighting in the east and west, and we have not fought any kind of battle. Today, we have ten times as many men and horses as the enemy. The gap between the two is as big as a warrior and a child. With this advantage, attacking Wuyuan Prefecture, in my opinion, can be described as simple and light as probing for things, can you use such a verbose analysis. ”

In the end, it was Zhang Shihua's cousin, as a member of the Zhang family of Dachu, Zhang Shihui naturally questioned Zhao Wei's confidence as a coach.

Therefore, at this time, Zhao Wei, as the coach, was not angry at Zhang Shihui's questioning in front of everyone. Instead, he looked at Zhang Shihui, who was confident and didn't take Wu Jun to heart at all, and smiled, "Zhong Yao, you don't know anything.

This Wuyuan Prefecture is not as good as other states and counties, and eighty percent of the land in this state is hilly and forested. The so-called official road we are walking at this time is just a winding path between the mountains, forests and hills. This kind of terrain is the easiest to defend and difficult to attack.

Because of this road, everywhere can be used by the Wu army as an ambush place. And because we have a large number of soldiers, the supply of food and grass is also difficult. Attacking Wuyuan Prefecture, if you can't win quickly, then nothing else, as long as the Wu army in Huizhou is delayed for a month, our army must withdraw troops. ”

"......" Hearing Zhao Wei's words, Zhang Shihui closed his mouth and didn't say anything more.

Although he didn't take the Wu army, which was far inferior to his own troops, in his eyes at all, he was not an arrogant and ignorant person.

Now, Zhao Wei is the leader of the army personally appointed by his brother, so when Zhao Wei has already said such a thing, he is refuting it, it is a provocation to Zhao Wei, the commander.

Seeing that Zhang Shihui was silent and explained patiently and kindly, Zhao Wei couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

"Well, I think everyone knows by now how heavy the burden is on our shoulders. Then this marshal will personally explain to you that we are about to attack the Huizhou Road and the main general of the Wu army stationed on the Huizhou Road.

According to the information obtained by our army's secret agents, at the beginning of the year, Wu's army left a total of more than 14,000 soldiers and horses on Huizhou Road. In terms of military strength, our army can be said to have an absolute advantage this time. However, Ben Shuai wants to remind you again, and next, you must give me a twelve-point spirit.

This is not only because the terrain of Huizhou Road is hilly and difficult to attack, but also because the commander of the Wu army - Chang Yuchun. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Wei's face could be described as very serious.

Therefore, seeing it like this, whether it was Wang Shijiu, Shi Kaida, Zhang Dingbian, Zhao Pusheng or Zhang Shihui in the account, they couldn't help but cheer up the spirit of twelve. They are all people who have been in battle for a long time, and each of them has fought dozens of battles, so they naturally know the truth that they know that they are invincible.

Therefore, seeing this, Zhao Wei didn't talk nonsense, paused slightly, sorted out his words, and began to explain: "Chang Yuchun, although this person is not the old department of Zhu Yuanzhang in western Zhejiang, but he is the first brave general recognized by the Wu Army in western Zhejiang.

And it is precisely because of his extraordinary courage and courage to fight that he can say that he can run 100,000 people rampant in the world, so he is praised by the Wu army as - Chang 100,000. Therefore, the biggest characteristic of this person's use of soldiers is fierceness. It is precisely because of this that Chang Yuchun is also the most elite and daring among the Wu army in western Zhejiang.

Now, our army has reached Zhongyun Town, which is only thirty miles away from Wuyuan City. And Chang Yuchun, who had already led 7,000 soldiers and horses from Shecheng, was also scheduled to pass Xiuning Huangshan at this time, and the distance from Wuyuan City was only more than 100 miles away.

In this way, it is obviously impossible for our army to conquer Wuyuan before Chang Yuchun leads reinforcements to kill. So this time, Ben Shuai thinks that the best way to defeat the enemy is to surround the point and send reinforcements. ”

"Encircle the point and send reinforcements!" Suddenly, hearing Zhao Wei say this, all the generals in the account looked at each other, and then were silent for a moment, as the old subordinate who had followed Zhao Wei for the longest time, Wang Nineteen, couldn't help but be the first to stand up and express support at this time.

"The strength of our army is now several times more than that of the enemy, and it is easy to look at the five thousand soldiers and horses in Wuyuan City. The marshal's plan is very good, and it can be said that it is the right time to encircle the point and send reinforcements. ”

"This ......" Zhao Pusheng and Zhang Dingbian, who had Wang Nineteen, the commander of the Flying Tiger Army, were the first to stand up in support, and Zhao Pusheng and Zhang Dingbian, who did not have much say in the tent because they were new generals, also nodded in agreement after looking at each other.

But at this time, although three of the four commanders agreed. But over there, Shi Kaida, as the commander of the Wude Army, still couldn't help but subconsciously turn his attention to Zhang Shihui, the deputy marshal who was second only to Zhao Wei.

"Encirclement and reinforcement, this plan is indeed feasible." When Zhao Wei, the coach, turned his gaze to himself, Zhang Shihui naturally nodded and began to express his position.

However, just as he said such a sentence that seemed to agree with Zhao Wei's strategy, his words suddenly changed, "But that Chang Yuchun can be so admired by the Wu Army in Western Zhejiang, I think that in addition to being brave and powerful, there must be other outstanding points."

Although the marshal's method of encircling the point to send reinforcements is good, if Chang Yuchun does not blindly forge ahead, but finds a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, builds a camp to hold on, and contains our army, then what should our army do? ”
