As Teng Shuanglin talked, Lu Renqing's expression became more and more surprised and frustrated, and the important conclusion he came to after thinking hard all night was casually broken by Teng Shuanglin, and he considered it more comprehensively and carefully.

This Teng Shuanglin, who is obviously a crazy and frivolous down-and-out talent, why did he suddenly become so powerful?

Wang Kefan's eyebrows also raised, and he looked at Teng Shuanglin with admiration. His inferences about the marching movements of Li Zicheng and Azig are almost exactly the same as real history, and such an outstanding performance even exceeded Wang Kefan's expectations.

Lu Renqing is also not bad, looking at his deflated face, it is obvious that he collided with Teng Shuanglin's thoughts, that is to say, he also made a correct judgment.

This is not simple, Teng Shuanglin and Lu Renqing are both born in the literati, they have no professional military training, and they have no experience in leading troops to fight, but they can find the right direction from limited intelligence, which is more of a talent, an innate sensitivity to the battlefield situation, if they are cultivated in actual combat, they may become excellent generals.

The reason for the reuse of Teng Shuanglin was that he initially fell in love with his family background and background, Tongcheng is a densely populated rich county, Teng Shuanglin was born in a large local family, and he has a reputation for showing his talents, which is convenient for recruiting soldiers and raising food and salary, and it is easy to pull up a team to fill the gap in Tongcheng's defense.

After several contacts, Wang Kefan found out that this person was round on the outside and square on the inside, hiding a sharp edge, and was a rare talent, so he vigorously recommended him to ask for a general manager directly, so as to expand the new army.

"Renqing, are you convinced? Brother Shuanglin likes to joke and abuse, but in fact, he is wise and foolish, such as the green peak on the river, the clouds cover the fog on weekdays, but occasionally he suddenly appears, and when I met for the first time a few days ago, I almost fell into his ......"

As soon as Wang Kefan was halfway through speaking, Teng Shuanglin waved his hand again and again, and interrupted him with a smile.

"Teng is a shallow learner, just to promote the clumsiness of Tibet, Yuntai is old and serious, and there is a talent to help the world, I am far inferior to you!" Teng Shuanglin paused for a moment and said with a smile: "If there is any omission in my deduction, I must not be able to escape the eyes of Yuntai, so it is better to criticize and explain it to everyone, so that Teng can also have a long insight." ”

Teng Shuanglin's meaning is to push Wang Kefan to the front and make a concluding speech, he has been in the limelight enough today, and he can't cover his top boss.

Wang Kefan smiled slightly, with his familiarity with history, as long as he said a few casual words, it was enough for others to think for a day.

"Li Chuang wants to jump to Jiangnan, but he may not succeed, Zuo Liangyu's hundreds of thousands of horses are blocking the way in front, and Azig is chasing after him, in my opinion, he will fight a big defeat in the area of Jiujiang Mansion. What we have to watch out for is that after Li Chuang's defeat, he and Azig re-enter Huguang ......"

Jiujiang Mansion, located in the east of Huangzhou Mansion and in Jiangxi, is an important town in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.

After thinking for a while, Teng Shuanglin sighed: "That's it, if this is the case, it is not the blessing of my lake, but the luck of the imperial court......

Li Zicheng and Azig turned around and returned to Huguang, so they couldn't go to Nanjing, which was a good thing for the Hongguang court, but unexpectedly, Wang Kefan ruthlessly broke his illusions.

"Even if Li Chuang and Azig return to Huguang, I'm afraid Nanjing won't be able to hold it."

These words are like a shock, Teng Shuanglin and Lu Renqing's faces have changed, if Nanjing is lost, it means that the Hongguang court of the Southern Ming Dynasty will die again!

Think about it carefully, this possibility really exists, Li Zicheng and Azig don't consider it first, the Qing army on the East Road led by Duoduo is approaching Nanjing, Zuo Liangyu is also marching to Nanjing along the Yangtze River under the banner of "Qing Jun's side", and at the critical moment when the strong enemy presses the border, the Ming army itself is on the inner bar, no matter how you look at it, it is a sign of national destruction......

……

After Teng Shuanglin left Chongyang, Wang Kefan urged the soldiers and civilians in the city to step up preparations for war, and built two Tutai Moon Cities outside the west gate and the north gate respectively, building large-scale city defense equipment such as yaksha and wolf tooth beats, and continued to collect grain and grass, and collected wood, masonry, animal skins, iron bells and other things that could be used to defend the city.

Wang Kefan is familiar with the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and they know better than Teng Shuanglin that Li Zicheng's goal is Nanjing, and Azig's goal is Li Zicheng, and their main forces will not be entangled in Chongyang, but in the next few months, Li Zicheng and Azig, including Zuo Liangyu's troops, will start a life-and-death battle on all sides, from Huangzhou Mansion to Jiujiang Mansion will be a pot of porridge, Chongyang is not absolutely safe.

This kind of large-scale, long-term large-scale battle, the outer edge of the battlefield will continue to expand, Chongyang is too close, it is inevitable that a few troops will rush here, more than 1,000 troops are guarding this small county, 200 miles away is the battlefield of the decisive battle of hundreds of thousands of troops, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be a chestnut in the fire, too risky.

However, Wang Kefan had to take this risk.

He has been operating in Chongyang for more than half a year, and it is easy to gain a firm foothold, with a piece of his own territory, and a stable source of food and soldiers.

Opportunities always coexist with risks, hide far away when you see danger, although it is safe, but don't think about getting anything, staying in Chongyang, but you may get greater benefits, and even pry the trajectory of historical development......

The king of Chu rested in bed for a few days, his condition improved, and after he was able to get off the ground, he immediately found Wang Kefan and Xu Bingzhong and proposed to leave Chongyang.

Xu Bingzhong was a little reluctant, as the one-word prince of the Ming Dynasty (there were still two-word princes in the Ming Dynasty, which was obviously much worse than the grade of the one-word king), the king of Chu was still very appealing, if he was left in Chongyang, he could gather the fleeing soldiers and civilians to help defend the city, and the officers and soldiers of Yuezhou Mansion could not sit idly by.

Wang Kefan disagreed with him, Chongyang is only a small county town, the city can accommodate a limited number of soldiers and civilians, too many defeated soldiers and people can't help, more importantly, the appeal of the king of Chu is a double-edged sword, the officers and soldiers of Yuezhou Mansion may not be desperate to save each other, but may attract the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

After some explanation, Xu Bingzhong woke up like a dream and immediately agreed with his opinion. Wang Kefan sent a team of soldiers to send the king of Chu to Changde Mansion to block Yinxi, but forcibly left the eunuch Wang Zhou and the more than 400 miners. The king of Chu was in a hurry to get out, and he didn't care about the life and death of a eunuch's slave, so he didn't even see Wang Zhou's face, so he fled from Chongyang in a hurry.

Wang Kefan took Lu Renqing to the hut where Wang Zhou was under house arrest, and when Wang Zhou saw that it was him, he was afraid, angry, and panicked.

"You, what are you doing here? Don't let me go out yet, I want to meet Bixia, the king of Chu! ”

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, in the future, we will be in the same camp, and we will be as close as brothers and sisters......" Wang Kefan was just halfway through speaking, and Wang Zhou immediately shouted.

"Who is your sister? Who is a sister to you! Although our family is disabled, we are also a dignified seven-foot man......, and what does it mean to be in the same camp? ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Wang Kefan's face, he was really a sensitive glass heart, and he hurt him if he wasn't careful, so he had to pay attention in the future. He cleared his throat and said loudly: "Well, under the command of the King of Chu, Wang Zhou was ordered to serve as the eighteenth sentry officer of the Gongyi Battalion, under the control of the garrison Wang Kefan, to assist in guarding Chongyang......"

Hearing this unexpected news, Wang Zhoumu was stunned, and it took a long time to sit on the bed, muttering to himself: "Lord Wang doesn't want me anymore, don't want me anymore, this is to let me die!" ”

"I don't like what Wang Gonggong said, can it be that we and other soldiers guarding Chongyang can't be sent to death?" Wang Kefan persuaded with a pleasant face: "Wang is also a person who cherishes his life, he will not take everyone to death, no matter what, he will ensure that the prince is fair and safe...... well, let me introduce you, Lu Renqing You have seen it, he is your deputy sentinel, and he will be closer and closer in the future......"

……

Following Wang Kefan out of the hut, Lu Renqing's face was still flushed and excited.

Since he joined the Gongyi Battalion, he has been serving as a clerk and other civilian positions, and he is not reused, and today he suddenly became a deputy sentinel, and the sentinel Wang Zhou is still a puppet, which is simply a feeling of ascending to the sky in one step.

"Renqing, have you always been resentful, blaming me for not letting you lead the troops?" Wang Kefan asked suddenly.

"Lu Shan doesn't dare." Lu Renqing hurriedly said: "I just want to be on the field, and I don't want to bury myself in the case every day, and deal with written accounts every day." ”

"You have a different family background from Teng Shuanglin, even if you are given a sentry, can you recruit soldiers? Will the soldiers you recruit listen to your orders and kill the enemy with their lives? ……”

In Wang Kefan's troops, the grassroots officers are all the henchmen of the sentinels. Lu Shan is a poor talent, he has no tenants to rely on at home, and he has no appeal in the township, so he has no team that can serve as a grassroots officer.

"These miners are a rare source of soldiers, select 200 people from them to form a sentry, and give you two months to train them into a combatable army." Wang Kefan instructed: "You have seen all the methods of military training, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask Wang Sheng and a few of them for advice...... Also, Wang Zhou must be careful, he must not let him run away, and use it as a cover to stabilize the morale of the army. ”

"Lu Shan is ashamed, he doesn't understand Brother Yuntai's love." Lu Renqing gave a deep salute and made amends: "The last general will definitely fight bravely to kill the enemy, even if his liver and brain are ruined, he will not regret it!" ”

Wang Kefan nodded.

"Well, that twist that can use gunpowder, just put it next to you and be a personal soldier. This man will be useful in the future, and I will see him well. He said in an accentuated tone: "Even if the whole army is wiped out, as long as you are not dead, you have to ensure that he is still alive!" ”
