After learning that the garrison Zhu Guozheng had decided to lead his troops to the battle, Han Yu still asked Zhang Tanghuai to dissuade him, completely out of selfishness. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Han Yu knew very well that re-admonishing him would only make the garrison disgusted.

However, Kou Shou Zhang Xianzhong is not good at stubble, and the garrison Zhu Guozheng and the more than 1,000 cavalry will not be able to come back.

The most important thing at the moment is to prepare for self-preservation, of course, Han Yu does not plan to inform Zhang Tanghuai of these plans.

The next morning, the sky was just bright, and the cold wind was strong on the school field not far in front of the gate of Fengyang City, and more than 1,000 Fengyang cavalry were ready to go.

Zhu Guozheng, who was riding on a horse, was dressed in military uniform, and his mind was full of the expected Fengyang victory, and he unconsciously showed a satisfied smile.

Zhu Guozheng, who was stationed at the garrison, was already nearly half a hundred years old, and if he did not achieve meritorious results as soon as possible, he was afraid that it would be difficult to be promoted in the future.

Now that the Kou army is newly defeated, its morale is low, and it is a good opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.

The reason why Zhu Guozheng is so confident is because over the years, the Ming army has easily defeated several times the Kou army head-on many times.

And the more than 1,000 cavalry of Fengyang led this time had an overwhelming advantage over the Kou army, which was generally only foot soldiers.

Taking a step back, even if you can't achieve the results of the battle, you can completely evacuate with the help of cavalry power, and the Kou army can't catch up even if you break your legs.

When the time comes, as long as you make up some heads, when you show your skills to the court, you don't want to make up as much as you want.

"The garrison is here, don't open the city gate quickly!"

A group of cavalry soon came to the gate of Fengyang West City, and the handsome Shi Chang stepped forward and shouted loudly at the city head.

It's just that the gates of the city are still closed, and the garrison guards turn a deaf ear to the chief's questioning, and have no intention of opening the city.

"Be bold, if you disobey military orders, won't you be tired of living!" Nashi Chang only felt that his face was gloomy, and pointed at the guards of the city and scolded coldly.

"Lord Garrison, the thieves must not rush in, think twice!"

Zhang Tanghuai, who suddenly rushed over from the side, stepped forward and grabbed the reins of the garrison Zhu Guozheng's war horse and admonished in a deep voice, his words were sonorous and powerful, and he was completely determined to stop the garrison from leading the troops out of the city.

"Mr. Zhang Qian, this official ordered you to open the city gate quickly, otherwise don't blame the ruthless military law!"

Zhu Guo looked at Zhang Tanghuai, who was kneeling in front of the horse, angry and funny, when will this elm head be able to open up.

It's just that time is pressing, and if the prefect learns that he is leading his troops out of the city, he will definitely come to intercept him, and all plans will be in vain.

It's good to say that Zhang Tanghuai was not moved at all, Zhu Guozheng raised the horsewhip and whipped it several times in anger, but Zhang Tanghuai still had no reaction, as if the horsewhip was not pumped on him at all.

"Zhang Tanghuai stepped forward to obey orders!"

Zhang Tanghuai hesitated a little, but in the end he knelt in front of the war horse and bowed to the leader.

"This official ordered you to temporarily lead the Fengyang battalion, assist in managing Fengyang's military affairs, and wait for the official to come back and then clean up your kid!"

After Zhu Guozheng finished speaking, he ignored Zhang Tanghuai, who was blocking in front, and galloped forward violently, and the soldiers who followed him hurriedly pulled Zhang Tanghuai aside.

"Open the city gates, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" Zhu Guo, a garrison in military uniform, was holding his horsewhip high and shouting at the battalion soldiers at the head of the city.

Seeing that the garrison Zhu Guozheng was angry, how dare the battalion soldiers guarding the city gate disobey.

Immediately stepped forward to open the city gate and stood on both sides, the city gate was opened, and Zhu Guozheng took the lead with a whip and led the Fengyang cavalry to rush out.

Han Yu, who had been standing on the side of the street and watching coldly, stepped forward and helped Zhang Tanghuai, who was full of sorrow, up.

Han Yu had neither persuasion nor relief.

Anyway, everything you want has already been obtained, although it is only a sentence to temporarily lead the Fengyang battalion soldiers and assist in managing Fengyang's military affairs, you can make good use of it.

Back at the camp, Zhang Tanghuai didn't say a word, walked to the school field alone, and danced vigorously with a red tassel gun in his hand, so as to vent the depression in his heart.

Han Yu, who was sitting on the edge of the school field, watched quietly, thinking about what to do next.

Han Yu didn't care whether Zhu Guozheng was dead or alive, but if Zhang Xianzhong won and his morale was greatly boosted, it was hard to guarantee that he would not make a comeback.

Soon, Han Yu realized a serious and fatal problem.

At present, there are only 4,000 defenders in Fengyang City, and in the hands of the prefect Yan Rongxuan, the nearly 1,000 guards are not counted, and the battalion soldiers are originally 3,000.

Zhu Guozheng was taken away by the garrison with a thousand elite cavalry, and the remaining 2,000 battalions were in the hands of two thousand generals, while Zhang Tanghuai, although he was newly promoted to a thousand generals, only had dozens of troops in his hands.

In other words, Zhu Guozheng's so-called temporary leadership of the Fengyang battalion and assisting in the management of Fengyang's military affairs orders looks like a perfunctory joke no matter how you look at it.

The only good news is that Zhang Tanghuai has just been promoted, because Zhu Guozheng personally instructed that the salary was paid in full according to the number of thousands.

This is also thanks to Zhu Guozheng's recent abduction business, and now he is very wealthy, otherwise the imperial court salary that has already been deducted by the upper echelons is not even enough for military expenses, how can he have the money to win over Zhang Tanghuai.

The advantageous condition is that there is money and orders, and the disadvantage is the lack of soldiers and major generals.

Soon the bad news came, and it was as Han Yu expected.

In less than a day, several wounded cavalrymen returned in embarrassment, and the news of the fiasco completely caused a sensation in the entire Fengyang City.

From the wounded soldiers, it was learned that the garrison Zhu Guozheng led a thousand cavalry into the enemy's ambush circle.

Fighting under the unfavorable terrain of countless traps and woods and rivers, the cavalry of the Ming army, which could not exert their mobility at all, was almost wiped out in less than half a day of fierce fighting.

In other words, it won't be long before Zhang Xianzhong's Kou army, which has made siege equipment, will definitely make a comeback.

It's just that what puzzled Han Yu was that Yan Rongxuan, the prefect who also learned the news, was very strangely silent.

Han Yu, who always felt that something was wrong, immediately asked Wang Wei, the captain of Zhang Tanghuai's subordinates, to send someone to keep an eye on the prefect's movements.

Wang Wei is also a sincere person, grateful for Han Yu's life-saving grace when he spoke up, and personally led people to lurk around the prefect's mansion to check the movements.

At noon that day, Wang Wei, the captain who already had the news, came to the barracks to find Han Yu in a hurry.

He learned from the captain Wang Wei that there were many people who had recently entered and left the prefect's mansion, and he led people to arrest several of them at night to extract confessions.

Soon learned that in order to save the lives of the family, the prefect Yan Rongxuan had made contact with the Kou army who had infiltrated the city, and was obviously ready to surrender in Kaesong.

And tonight, a banquet was held to invite thousands of battalions and thousands of guards who held military power.

Han Yu sneered in his heart, the prefect Yan Rongxuan invited a group of officers who held military power to go, and he must have prepared for a showdown.

It's no wonder that Yan Rongxuan has no fear, as the prefect of Fengyang, he is the most high-ranking official in the local area, and he has the absolute right to speak.

There are nearly 1,000 diehards in the guards, and the general attitude of the battalion soldiers is ambiguous and wavering, and on the surface, no one can stop Yan Rongxuan from surrendering the city.

And since Zhang Tanghuai was not invited, that is to say, in Yan Rongxuan's opinion, this subordinate has only dozens of people, and there is really no need and value to solicit.

At this time, the sun was scorching in the sky, and there were several hours until the night, and in Han Yu's opinion, there were still many things to do.

In the tent at the garrison of the city gate, Zhang Tanghuai's eyes were full of dullness, the suggestion made by Han Yu not long ago was completely a big crime to kill the head.

"Brother Han, this joke is not funny!"

"The officials are rampant and domineering, and the people in the city have deep grievances, if we don't open a warehouse and release grain to appease the people, we will not face nearly 10,000 Kou troops, but more than 100,000 people!"

"Brother Han, you don't have to hide it from me, opening a warehouse and releasing grain to help the people shouldn't be your real purpose." Zhang Tanghuai stared at Han Yu for a long time, and said with a slight sigh.

Although he couldn't guess Han Yu's purpose, Zhang Tanghuai always felt that this matter was not so simple.

"Captain Wang, you should say some things." Han Yu suddenly raised his voice and said loudly outside the military tent.

Wang Wei, who was dressed in military uniform, opened the curtain and strode in, and saluted Zhang Tanghuai with a fist respectfully: "Mr. Qian, after several days of investigation by the lower officials, Yan Rongxuan, the prefect of Fengyang, has contacted the representatives of the thieves in order to save his life, and several Qianzong, who hold military power, will also go to the mansion for a banquet tonight." ”

Zhang Tanghuai frowned, naturally knowing the stakes.

Not to mention that the battalion soldiers are always on the side of the prefect, that is, they are neutral and do not help each other, Zhang Tanghuai's subordinates are only a few dozen people, and they can't fight against the nearly 1,000 soldiers of the guard post at all.

"Brother Han, for my brother, I still can't guess why I want to open a warehouse and release grain?" Zhang Tanghuai pondered and meditated, but still couldn't guess Han Yu's plan.

"Brother Zhang, don't worry, the foolish brother will definitely make Governor Yan dare not act rashly!" Han Yu chuckled and looked at Zhang Tanghuai, patting his chest with confidence.
