Chapter 127: Preparing for another battle
Everyone "oh" spoke in unison, revealing a sudden expression, and at the same time admiration was overflowing, this analysis was peeled off the cocoon, well-founded, and the situation in the entire Sichuan was clear in a few words, although everyone didn't know how Wang Huan knew the situation outside without leaving home and guarding the projectile-sized Wanshou Valley, but this is not important, the important thing is that this is what Wang Huan said, everyone can believe it, regardless of whether he is Wang Huan watching the sky at night or the immortal dreaming told him.
Countless facts in the past have proved that if you believe Wang Huan's words, you will not be wrong.
"My lord, according to that, Zeng Ying won't come?" Ma Chongming was relieved: "The thief is powerful, enough for him to drink a pot." ”
"No!" Wang Huan categorically dispelled his illusions: "He will definitely come." ”
"Huh!?" Ma Chongming was stupid again.
"This person wants to take revenge, and the second is that the temptation of the Tubaozhai silver mine is even greater, and for the sake of the silver, he will definitely come." Wang Huan explained.
Zu Bian was also a little impatient, and said in a rough voice: "My lord, you can give me a letter, when will he come?" How many people to bring? I'm in a hurry! ”
Wang Huan smiled slightly and looked at Ma Xintian.
Since you intend to cultivate him, you have to let him show his face at the right time.
Ma Xintian understood, and immediately said: "My lord actually said very clearly, Zeng Ying will definitely come, and it will be around a month, but because of the sacrifice of thieves, coupled with the suspicious military plan we deliberately laid out last time, Yang Zhan mistakenly thought that our military strength was limited, but it was advantageous to occupy the location and block the dry road, giving him a way to resist the enemy by blocking the road without soldiers on the stone pillar, Yang Zhan passed on this idea to Zeng Ying, which will inevitably make Zeng Ying look down on my stone pillar even more, so the adult asserts that the next time Zeng Ying sends troops, the military horse will not exceed the scale of this time, It's probably even a lot less. After all, the CD direction requires a lot of people to arm. ”
"Zeng Ying's all the soldiers and horses, excluding the inflated part, but only 30,000 people, and more than 100,000 thieves and horses, the border between the two is vast, although there are many mountains, but Zeng Ying has to divide his troops and defend the pass, otherwise he will repeat the mistake of Governor Shao Jiechun."
"In this way, many things are clear, Zeng Ying will come to attack, and the number of soldiers will not exceed 5,000, and it is likely to be less than this." Ma Xintian concluded, and then quietly closed his mouth, as if what he said just now was not what he said.
The rest of the people nodded and shook their heads when they heard it, and even Wang Huan nodded again and again.
This person is not only calm, but also has a unique vision, looks at the problem logically, very organized, it seems that there are not only famous people among the ancients, but also hidden dragons and crouching tigers among ordinary people, it depends on whether there is Bole to excavate.
Wang Huan clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention back to himself, and said in a loud voice: "Now that everyone is clear, then don't delay, I will start the division of labor, you will act separately according to my orders, and you must be fully prepared in just one month!" ”
He directly named everyone's name, assigned things, Tubaozhai silver mine and smelter, is a key protection unit, one must strictly prevent outsiders from spying, the other must guard against internal guards and self-theft, need reliable people to watch, used to be Zu Bian and Ma Wannian were staring, now the two have another task, Wang Huan sent Ma Chongming to replace them, anyway, this fat man loves money like life, with him, he will inevitably watch his wife guard the silver mine, and there will be no mistakes.
But Ma Chongming has another task, he has to send his cronies to still go out to buy pigs, in the lime pond of the gunpowder field, there is a serious shortage of fat, and the pig breeding of Wanshougu Pig Farm has just begun, a pig from birth to adult pig, not half a year is not done, far from water can not quench the thirst, and has to rely on buying pigs to maintain glycerin production.
This matter was handed over to Ma Chongming, he traveled from south to north, and there were trustworthy and reliable people among his clansmen.
And Zu Bian and Ma Xintian devoted themselves to the training of the three thousand households in Wanshou City, and Wang Huan himself participated in it as long as he was free, one to strengthen his body, and the other to maintain his sense of existence as the commander of the whole army.
The various mines in the deep mountains were handed over to the local leaders, who were enthusiastic and proud of hugging Wang Huan's thighs, and followed Wang Huan, as long as they worked hard, they would definitely get great benefits, which was the theory that Ma Chongming had instilled in them many times.
Xu Tiezhu and Zhou Cheng continued the operation of Wanshou City, the city wall is about to be completed, all the buildings in the city must be finished, the people's food, clothing, housing, transportation, and food distribution, just thinking about it is a headache, without the personal efforts of meticulous people, it is not possible at all, these two people are familiar with the way, but nothing will go wrong.
And Wang Huan himself devoted himself to the gunpowder field in the deep mountains, which was the most secret place and the most critical place, more important than the silver mines, and the manufacture of yellow gunpowder and extinguishing bullets was there.
The local method of making nitroglycerin and yellow gunpowder is full of danger, and there have been two explosions there in the past two days, both of which were caused by carelessness in the production process, killing more than a dozen people and destroying a lot of sheds.
Wang Huan must train a group of skilled craftsmen, otherwise if it continues to blow up like this, there will not be much gunpowder, and his own workshop will not be able to open.
……
Chongqing City looked at Longmen, and in the middle of the general army, Yang Zhan did not say a word, kneeling in the lobby with his head down, his upper body exposed, and he was being whipped by a strong man behind him.
The whipping has been going on for a while, and Yang Zhan's muscular back is already blurred with flesh and blood, and the long whip is whipped on the wound of the flesh and skin, splashing countless blood flowers, sprinkled on the stone floor, like petal peach blossoms, cruel and beautiful.
Zeng Ying turned his back with a black face, stood behind the long case, and looked at a picture of a tiger descending the mountain hanging on the wall, motionless.
Jiang Li, a thousand households in Jinyi, stood silently aside, looking at his heart with his eyes and nose, with an indifferent expression, as if he was ignoring the whipping in the hall.
Several other generals in arrow-sleeved military uniforms also knelt on the ground, trying to persuade them bitterly.
"Junmen, Yang Zhan lost his soldiers in this battle and returned defeated, he should be a military lawyer, but this is the time to employ people, please be extrajudicial to the military, let him make meritorious contributions, spare him this time."
"Yes, Junmen, let's read General Yang's countless military exploits in the past, following the adults to fight in the south and the north, and the hard work is high, and write down this time, the last general is willing to vouch for him, and let him make up for his merits in the future."
"Junmen, the last general is also willing to vouch for General Yang, and also ask Junmen to take back the life of a thousand whips, if you really hit a thousand whips, General Yang will definitely die."
"General Yang is brave and good at fighting, my generation is the best, this time it is just a moment of the barbarian tricks, I expect him to be cautious next time, if the Nuo military gate really beat him to death, but fell into the barbarian scheme, the relatives and enemies are fast, the military gate."
The generals were sweating profusely, begging and begging, and Yang Zhan, who was holding his head down and being whipped, was almost close to a coma, his eyes were blurred, his eyes were dilated, and the blood flowing from his back flowed down his backbone to the ground, about to merge into a stream, and the military method of a thousand whips was only two hundred lashes.
The sergeant wielding the long whip is actually unbearable, but Zeng Ying's military law is like a mountain, if he doesn't use his strength to fight, then another person will fight him, and he will be beaten together.
The generals persuaded them for a long time, but Zeng Ying didn't even look back, staring at the tiger on the wall without saying anything.
