Chapter 106: Five miles back
Liu Zheng asked Zhou Yun to leave a regiment to guard here, and at the same time sent a regiment of people to escort all the craftsmen back to Qingzhou, and then led a few gunsmiths such as Old Man Zhang and Ma Legzi to rush to Jimo with the eight tiger squatting cannons.

Because he was in a hurry with a cannon, he walked relatively slowly, and it was not until it was almost dark in the afternoon that everyone rushed to Jimo from the ancient city guard.
At this time, a large area of joint ventures had been set up outside Jimo City, and Liu Zheng asked Hu Hansan to arrange the residence of Mr. Zhang and others, while he and Zhou Yun went to the handsome tent by themselves.
When they arrived at the handsome tent, they ordered someone to invite Zeng Kaiyu and Qin Haiqing, and after a while, the two of them arrived in the handsome tent.
"Lord!"
"Yes! Let's talk about the situation! Liu Zheng said as he walked to the sand table.
Zeng Kaiyu first glanced at Qin Haiqing, then at Zhou Yun, and then said: "The work of driving sheep is all completed by the Second Division, according to the news from the various departments of the Second Division, there are about 2,000 defeated soldiers who fled into Jimo City!" ”
After saying this, Zeng Kaiyu pointed to Aoshanwei and said: "It seems that the people of Aoshanwei have all entered the city when we arrived in Jiaozhou, and now Aoshanwei is empty, and the men, women and children in the military tun are gone, so they should have also entered Jimo City!" ”
Liu Zheng's brows twisted suddenly, and Zeng Kaiyu smiled when he saw this: "Does the lord think that the situation is a little wrong?" ”
Liu Zheng nodded and acquiesced, and Zeng Kaiyu said: "I also think that the situation is very wrong, so I put the Tanma farther away, far here!" ”
The command pole was pointed at the position of the cliff: "This place is also empty!" ”
At this moment, Liu Zheng was even more puzzled: "You mean, the people of Aoshanwei and Xiongyasuo have arrived in Jimo City?" But are they so stupid? The walls of Jimo City are the same as those in Jiaozhou, they are only two zhang high, and the wives and children are brought to such a small Jimo City, fighting against the water, which is too irrational! After saying this, Liu Zheng added: "It's too unreasonable!" ”
"Huh?" Liu Zheng suddenly found that Zeng Kaiyu had a little pride in his eyes, and suddenly understood in his heart, and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you are a villainous talent, dare to play with your father-in-law, Brother Zhou, I heard that you have practiced very powerful martial arts, poking the acupoint can make people cry for three days, and poking it again can make people laugh for three days?" Why don't you just show me this evil show! ”
Zhou Yun was slightly stunned, and then understood what Liu Zheng meant, and said with a smile: "Okay, second brother, eldest brother, I also happen to have some skills, Zeng Xiucai, you will give me the current sparring partner!" ”
Zeng Kaiyu waved his hand vigorously and said: "Slow down, lord, my subordinates know that they are wrong, this is what the lord will listen to!" ”
Speaking this, Zeng Kaiyu's face suddenly became serious, and he pointed to Jimo City and said: "Lord, according to my observations, as well as the points that the lord mentioned to me before, I guessed the hole cards in their hands, and this hole card is quite fatal to us!" ”
Liu Zheng and Zhou Yun were slightly stunned, and then their faces became serious, and Liu Zheng asked first: "What hole card is it?" ”
Zhou Yun also echoed and asked, Zeng Kaiyu didn't take Qiao and directly said his guess: "I'm afraid it's a cannon, didn't you tell me, my lord, to be careful of the artillery in front of Fushan and Aoshanwei?" When we laid down the front of Fushan, we didn't see a single cannon, and when we came here, we didn't see a single cannon in the camp of Aoshanwei, and our subordinates boldly guessed that maybe these cannons were dismantled and transported to Jimo City! ”
"Shhh Zhou Yun gasped, if the people defending the city really had artillery, even if they captured Jimo City, they would have to pay a lot of casualties.
Liu Zheng pinched his chin and didn't speak, and muttered for a long time before he spoke: "If that's the case, then we have to be careful, and the plan needs to be changed!" After saying this, Liu Zheng suddenly smiled mysteriously at Zeng Kaiyu.
Zeng Kaiyu didn't understand the meaning of Liu Zheng's smile, and asked, "Lord, why are you smiling, smiling so much...... Uncanny? ”
Liu Zheng's smile became even bigger: "Haha, Master Zeng, you don't know yet, we also have cannons!" ”
"What!" Zeng Kaiyu was really shocked, and after the shock, he was excited, extremely excited: "Lord, seriously, isn't it a joke with me?" Is there really a cannon? Where did it come from? "Zeng Kaiyu, a person in his thirties, has been a water bandit for more than ten years, and has been beaten by people in the imperial court with cannons, but he has never beaten others with cannons.
Without waiting for Liu Zheng to speak, Zhou Yun picked up and said with a smile: "Lao Zeng, if there is really a cannon, didn't our division go to fight the ancient city guard?" I didn't expect to have an unexpected harvest in the ancient city guard, and caught a nest of craftsmen, there are a lot of gunsmiths in these craftsmen, and there are exactly eight new cannons that have just been built and are to be transported to North Korea for testing, although this new cannon is not as powerful as the cannon to defend the city, but it is also quite powerful, and a short city wall like Jimo can collapse with a dozen cannons! ”
Zeng Kaiyu's eyes widened and said: "This is still called not very powerful, so what is powerful?" Do you still want to collapse with one shot? ”
After Zeng Kaiyu said this, he laughed first, he was really happy, after all, the cannon is a real big killer, with this hole card, it will be much easier to attack the city.
Liu Zheng and Zhou Yun also laughed, but there was one person who didn't laugh, that was Qin Haiqing, who had been silently on the side since he came to the handsome tent, and his expression was even more painful at this time.
Liu Zheng, who noticed the abnormality, looked at Qin Haiqing suspiciously and asked, "Brother Qin, what's wrong with you?" ”
Qin Haiqing shook his head and said, "There's no lord!" ”
Liu Zheng turned his head and glanced at Zeng Kaiyu, Zeng Kaiyu shook his head lightly and said that he didn't know what was going on.
However, Zeng Kaiyu was shrewd, and immediately asked: "Brother Qin, we are brothers, if you hold this matter in your heart and don't tell your brothers, do you look down on your brothers!" ”
"That's it, Lao Qin, you're not what a brother should be!" Zhou Yun also chimed in.
Qin Haiqing sighed and said, "Lord, Quartet, Lao Zhou, it's not that I don't say it, it's ...... Alas! ”
After sighing several times in a row, Qin Haiqing said again: "Our division has a lot of problems, I didn't see anything unusual when I finished Jiaozhou City yesterday, but I rested all night, and when I got up this morning, the people of the whole division looked very abnormal, and their emotions were very wrong, except for a few regiment commanders and battalion commanders, other people, including some company commanders, were very depressed, looking like they couldn't lift their energy, and even many soldiers refused to carry out orders, some squatted on the ground and couldn't get up, and some even clamored to go home, There was even a platoon, and all the people in the platoon made a fuss, and the company commander went to solve the problem, and they beat the company commander! ”
Liu Zheng said in surprise: "So serious? ”
Qin Haiqing nodded and said, "If it weren't for the fact that I and several brigade commanders and regiment commanders are more prestigious among the soldiers and can subdue them, I'm afraid that if we don't make a mess, there will be a mutiny today!" ”
"If it weren't for that, our division wouldn't have set off in the morning, and it wouldn't have arrived in Jimo until shortly before the lord came back, and now the soldiers haven't set up camp yet!"
Liu Zheng sighed and said helplessly: "Is this considered happiness and sorrow?" ”
Zeng Kaiyu frowned and said: "This is a big problem, if you don't solve it, it will probably cause a big problem!" ”
Zhou Yun nodded in agreement, but Liu Zheng suddenly laughed at this time and said, "This matter is quite serious, but it is very simple to solve!" ”
"Huh?" Qin Haiqing looked at Liu Zheng suspiciously and said, "Lord, now is not the time to joke!" ”
Liu Zheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, how can I joke about such a thing!" ”
Zeng Kaiyu and Zhou Yun glanced at each other, and both saw the confusion and worry in each other's eyes, Liu Zheng continued: "I was going to have a quick solution, but I didn't expect this problem to happen, then we won't be in a hurry, first solve the problem of the soldiers' emotions, in this way, Master Zeng will give you a task, and you can quickly send people to Jiaozhou, Gaomi and Pingdu to invite some storytellers, the more the better!" I'm going to come back after explaining the speed, I still have something to discuss with you! ”
Although Zeng Kaiyu didn't understand what Liu Zheng was going to do, he still nodded solemnly and took the order.
When Zeng Kaiyu left, Zhou Yun stared at Liu Zheng's eyes and said seriously: "Lord, this is not a joke!" ”
Liu Zheng said casually: "Of course I know, let's take advantage of this moment to study how to attack the city first!" ”
Liu Zheng has always been a seller, Qin Haiqing is not good at asking the bottom of the matter, but he is not at ease in his heart, so he has to look at Zhou Yun for help, Zhou Yun is Liu Zheng's eldest brother after all, and only he is suitable to ask some words.
"Second brother, my good second brother, don't sell it, tell me directly, otherwise my heart will be hanging all the time, and it will be uncomfortable!"
Zhou Yunxin was very chaotic, he didn't need Qin Haiqing to ask him, he would ask to the end himself.
"Wait, I'll tell you when Lao Zeng comes back, or I'll ask him again when he comes back, and I'll say it again!" Come, come, come, let's study how to deal with the cannon on the city's head first! ”
As soon as Liu Zheng finished saying this, he suddenly froze, and then ran out of the handsome tent like crazy, looked at the west city wall of Jimo County not far away, and then slapped his thigh and shouted: "I'll take the test, you crazy people, we're not dead yet, it's the Jade Emperor's blessing!" ”
"Someone, pass me on and order the army to immediately pull out the camp and retreat five miles!"
Zhou Yun saw that Liu Zheng suddenly went crazy, and hurriedly grabbed his arm and said, "Second brother, second brother, what's wrong with you?" Are you sick with something, how did you start giving orders randomly! ”
"Are you trying to say that I'm crazy!" Liu Zheng looked at Zhou Yundao with wide eyes: "I'm not fucking crazy, so I'll pull out the camp immediately!" Ma Ning, where is Ma Ning, this rabbit cub! ”
"Here, my subordinates are here!"
"What are you doing in a daze, call everyone up to the battalions to give orders, the army immediately retreats back five miles, and those who do not retreat will be dealt with according to disobeying the military order!"
"Second brother, second brother, what the hell is going on!!"
"What's wrong?" Liu Zheng stretched out his hand with anger on his face and pointed to the city wall not far away and said: "Look at how close we are to this city wall, according to Zeng Kaiyu's guess, if they have a cannon and put a cannon on my handsome tent on the head of the city, I won't be able to return to the west?" ”
"It's also thanks to the fact that the city is full of straw bales, and if there were any smart people, I would have died under the cannon on the other side! Big brother, you're embarrassed to ask me what's wrong! What's wrong with you say I'm wrong? ”
After Zhou Yun listened, a dense layer of sweat appeared on his head, which was not hot but scared! (To be continued.) )
