"Chen Guan, Chen Yi, Chen Tai, father and son are easy to deal with." Wu Yong, who was just said to be a useless person by Gao Shide just now, came to Shili Pavilion not far from Yangzhou City with Song Jiang. The 8,000 vanguard troops led by them camped here, looking at the first-hand information, Wu Yong said in a cliché.

"It seems that the military advisor is in the chest?" Song Jiang is still relying on Wu Yong's strategy.

"It seems that our coach is not simple, so many choices, but he chose to play Yangzhou for the first time." Wu Yong praised Gao Shide.

"Jiangmen Huzi, how to say that everyone is the son of a captain, his birth status, and the education he has received, it is not surprising that he has such ability. However, this sub-city is too deep, and the approach is unexpected, and it is difficult to say good or bad. Song Jiang's tone showed a bit of envy and jealousy, and he remembered what happened to Lin Chong before. He was obviously put on the table, shook his head and complained.

"Forget it, since we have chosen this path, we can't back down. Let's study how to fight this battle now! "Wu Yong can see it and know that he is now living under people. What should be done and what should not be done can be clearly distinguished.

And the city of Yangzhou has long received the wind, knowing that the imperial court has sent a large army to conquer. The original Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo and other conquest armies were defeated by them, and at present, they can only refuse to defend Hedong and use the Yangtze River to fight against it. Now Fang La has been called the king and emperor, and has established a relatively stable regime in 52 counties in these eight states. As a minister of Conglong during the Fangla Uprising in the past, Chen Guan and his two sons Chen Yi and Chen Tai were named Marquis and stationed in Yangzhou.

Chen Guannai is the helmsman of the Jiangnan Salt Gang and was born in smuggling smuggled salt. With the spirit of not dying, he is thriving on the underworld in the Jiangnan area. But he also has another identity, which is one of the apologists of Manichaeism in Zhejiang, also known as Zoroastrianism. And Fang La is the leader of Manichaeism, after Fang La's uprising, Chen Guan father and son can be said to be in front of the saddle and behind the horse. That's why there is this achievement now, occupying Yangzhou with heavy troops, it is Fang La's confidant who is loyal.

Now Chen Guan and his son in Yangzhou City have tens of thousands of soldiers, why is there no exact number? There is no way, because Chen Guannai is from the salt gang, so usually these idle people are helping him escort illegal salt. Therefore, the number of soldiers and horses in the city is relatively large, except for the regular 20,000 people who do not move, the other tens of thousands come and go, and there is no fixed number.

This is also Fang La's acquiescence, after all, this is a huge undertaking. Money is needed everywhere to maintain, in other words, Chen Guan relies on this sale of illicit salt to maintain half of Fangla's country.

This is also why in the original book, Wu Yonghui preferred Yangzhou as the springboard for the first battle. On the one hand, it is the strategic need for the geographical location where Yangzhou City is located, and on the other hand, it is to cut off one of Fang La's logistics arms.

Speaking of strategy, where does Gao Shide know so much. He felt that he was also copied from the book, which said that Wu Yong's plan was set, and Song Jiang led his troops to attack and take Yangzhou in a battle. Anyway, now the vanguard is also used by Song Jiangwu, and this strategy is also used, and the specific implementers are also them. So Gao Shide boldly gave it a go.

"Drive the wolf and devour the tiger, Song Ting's poisonous strategy." Chen Guan picked up the latest battle report while he was there, threw it on the table and scolded in front of his two sons.

"Yes, I don't know if Song Jiang's head was squeezed by a stone, and he actually acted as the vanguard officer of the Song Court, doesn't this represent cannon fodder?" The eldest son, Song Yi, stirred the two mustaches on the side of his mouth with his fingers, and said in an atmosphere.

"Daddy, big brother, don't worry. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and the Liangshan Kou is not to be afraid. However, the commander of the army is a little tricky. The youngest son, Chen Tai, scratched his head and said with a headache.

"You mean Gao Shide, the son of Captain Gao?" Chen Guan also frowned a little when he heard this.

"Cut, isn't it just a yaunai who does all kinds of evil? Is it necessary to be so nervous? Seeing the sudden change in the faces of his father and younger brother, as the eldest son, he was unconvinced.

"Big brother, you don't know, what is Pang Wanchun's strength? You and I know it in our hearts, but he is several times the strength of Gao Shide, so he is helpless, and finally suffers a loss. Chen Tai was self-aware and told Gao Shide's achievements.

"That's not because he relied on Pingjiang City to hold on, if it was a field battle. He has died a long time ago, I don't know how many times, little brother, you must not grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige. No matter how powerful he is, with only 30,000 horses, how can he withstand me? Chen Yi now has 20,000 or 30,000 horses under his command, and the Yangzhou city wall, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as a cover, said with great confidence.

"Ah, be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship. It's better to listen to Ah Tai's advice, and you can't go wrong with being cautious. Pass on my generals and recall the people sent abroad to prevent Song Ting's spies from sneaking in. You two go down and prepare me for battle. I'm going to meet this high man who is said to be a god. "Old and dignified, Chen Guan is not comparable to two young sons. After so many years of ups and downs, he has seen too many ups and downs. Now that he finally has the current situation, Chen Guan doesn't want any accidents.

"Big brother, the whole city of Yangzhou is now under martial law. Foreign accents are all arrested, and we can't get in at all. As a secret agent in the army, Dai Zong led dozens of brothers under his command to work hard for several days, but in vain, he even got in several of them. There was really no way, so I could only come and return to Song Jiang.

Originally, Wu Yong's strategy to Song Jiang was to send an infiltrator into Yangzhou City, and when the army attacked the city, the inside and the outside should be combined. Seize the city gate, as long as you can enter the city, with the brave decision of the heroes of Liangshan, you can quickly occupy Yangzhou.

After all, this Yangzhou city is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack, and looking up at the unattainable city wall, this is the best choice. If it is according to the original book, this battle is relatively easy. There are no generals in the city, and the strength of Chen Guan's father and son can only be regarded as average, but it is not in the eyes of Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others. But now, across a city wall, I can't help it for a while. Even if he attacked and took Yangzhou, it is estimated that he would have to suffer heavy losses, and the gains outweighed the losses.

At present, the vanguard of 8,000 people is not too much, but it is not too much. But this is indeed Liangshan's lineage, Song Jiang's family capital. Since Gao Shide arranged them as pioneers, he would not be kind from the beginning. If his hometown is exhausted, wouldn't it be Gao Shide who will be arrested as soon as he is embarrassed. Song Jiang was unwilling to do this, he finally cleared himself, but he didn't want to lose all this again.

"Someone, please send a military advisor." After Song Jiang learned the news, he paused for a moment, sighed and sent someone to invite Wu Yong to come over to discuss.
