Chapter 156: Undercurrents are surging

Mo Fei looked at Zhang Wenzhong and said, "The wall is clear." [No pop-ups. 】”

Zhang Wenzhong looked at Mo Fei in disbelief, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "General, wouldn't it be too risky to do this." Although we have no chance of winning in the face of the five million Qin army, if we clear the wilderness and burn the rear supplies, aren't we digging our own grave? ”

Mo Fei looked at Zhang Wenzhong, smiled noncommittally, and then said, "Vice General Zhang, let me ask you a question?" ”

Zhang Wenzhong said: "General, please speak." ”

"Do you think Your Majesty and General Zhou will send troops to aid us?"

Zhang Wenzhong said without hesitation: "The Sixteen Counties of Yanyun are the natural barrier of the Tang Dynasty, and of course they will send troops to help. ”

Mo Fei shook his head and walked forward, followed by Zhang Wenzhong and Yaya behind him.

"Adjutant General Zhang seems to have forgotten which general the soldiers of the Sixteen Counties of Yanyun are under his command."

Zhang Wenzhong said in fear: "I don't dare to be humble." Yanyun's army is all soldiers under the command of General Ye Huaiwu. But...... Will General Ye and His Majesty send troops to help......" Zhang Wenzhong was saying, and suddenly remembered that Ye Huaiwu's surname was Ye, and he was the third son of Ye Gongshu of the Ye family, could it be ...... Your Majesty is going to attack the Ye family? Zhang Wenzhong looked at Mo Fei in shock.

The reason why Mo Fei dared to say such rebellious words to Zhang Wenzhong was because he had carefully observed this person during this period of time, and knew that this person was quite strategic and loyal, so he dared to reveal a little news about this matter to him.

Mo Fei walked towards the mansion and said, "Regardless of whether Your Majesty will send troops to help, Jianbi Qingye is our best choice now." As long as there are no supplies from Bazhou City to the Sixteen Counties of Yanyun, the Qin army has to act cautiously, otherwise, once the army penetrates into the territory of Hexi, the grain and grass in the rear will not be available. The Qin army is like a mud cow entering the sea, and there is no power to return to the sky. Therefore, as long as we cut off their thoughts, Yan Yun will be able to avoid an existential crisis in a short period of time. ”

After Mo Fei analyzed the situation and explained it to Zhang Wenzhong, Zhang Wenzhong already understood. If the emperor does not plan to send troops to help, it proves that the soldiers of the sixteen counties of Yanyun will be abandoned by His Majesty. And the strong wall clears the wilderness, which can gain a lot of buffer time for Yan Yun.

During this period of time, the soldiers of Yanyun can slowly think about countermeasures in order to find a way out. And once the time drags on, the people will definitely be dissatisfied, the people's voices will boil, and Your Majesty will not dare to ignore the will of the people. At that time, His Majesty the Emperor's heart may be shaken.

If His Majesty the Emperor sent troops, the Qin army would have to withdraw to the Heishui River, and at that time, the war between Qin and Tang would be put to rest without blood. It's just that...... In this way, as the leader of the strong wall and the clear field, Mo Fei will face the scolding of the people and the emperor's sanctions.

And he, the executor, will also be implicated.

Zhang Wenzhong was entangled in his heart, he knew that if this move was successful, it would definitely go down in history, but if it failed, it would be stinking for thousands of years. Zhang Wenzhong glanced at Mo Fei, and saw that he looked calm and light, and there was a trace of steadfastness in his heart.

Mo Fei turned his head sideways and smiled: "If you don't want to, just say it." After all, it's a matter of life and death, and even if you back down now, I won't blame you. ”

Zhang Wenzhong clenched his fists and said loudly: "Please rest assured that the general is willing to go." ”

Mo Fei turned his head, and the soft tone just now suddenly became solemn. "Zhou Chutian was ordered by the emperor, and it is very likely that he will put a cold arrow behind our backs. The bright ones may not dare, but the dark ones can't be guarded against. Tomorrow, those squires and officials who are good friends with the Qi family, if they don't leave, you will let them stay here. If they are willing to go to Bazhou City, then imprison them and secretly bring them back to Yancheng. If anyone does not comply, they will be killed. ”

A chill appeared on Zhang Wenzhong's spine, he really couldn't believe that the young man in front of him was only twenty years old. Whether it is the battle of Cloud City or the things that he is instructed to do now, they all reveal this person's old spicy and thoughtful. Acting so well, and being ruthless, even among the generals of the entire Sixteen Counties of Yanyun, he had never met such a person.

Could it be that he was originally worried that after the Qi family's people went to Bazhou City, they would spread rumors and make trouble. But in this way, it means that there will be no villains for those who go to Bazhou City. If the Qi family wants to stay, let them stay in Yancheng, and if the Qi family wants to leave, let them become dead.

By the time Zhang Wenzhong came back to his senses, Mo Fei and Yaya had already turned the corner of the street, and their figures disappeared into the long street.

……

On the second day, on the street of Yancheng, all those people were gathered together by Zhang Wenzhong, and many of the people scolded Zhang Wenzhong. However, with this kind of forced expulsion by the army, the people could not twist their arms and thighs, and they could only express their dissatisfaction in their hearts and mouths. Then obediently set off with the army.

As for the squires and local officials led by the Qi family, they made it clear that they were unwilling to obey the arrangements of the military, and every household was closed. Zhang Wenzhong symbolically sent someone to call for it, but when he saw that people ignored him, he left with a sneer. And those big families who were afraid of the Qin army attacking the city and did not have many businesses in this place all followed the Tang army to Bazhou City.

Among these big households, those who are good friends with the Qi family are the objects of Zhang Wenzhong's attention. These people, basically when they leave Yancheng, they will be imprisoned by Zhang Wenzhong in a secret way, and then secretly sent back to Yancheng to be guarded.

After these people left the city. Yancheng suddenly became empty, and the streets became a lot clearer.

There were a total of 300,000 soldiers in the city, and they were originally crowded into the barracks, and the training was extremely inconvenient. In addition, the boundaries of Yancheng are empty and the materials are complete, so this move, to a certain extent, is equivalent to preferential treatment for soldiers.

Since Zhang Wenzhong escorted the people away that day, in addition to going out for a run and inspecting the military camp at a fixed time every day. The rest of the time, I was thinking about how to integrate the troops.

The ancient military system, for various reasons, had some drawbacks, and these drawbacks were nothing in this era. However, in Mo Fei's view, a certain degree of optimization can greatly enhance the combat capability of the soldiers.

On the other hand, he was also thinking about Qin Fufeng's next plan. Since Qin Fufeng can become the king and general of the Qin State, he must not be a person with a vain name, plus the nine disciples under the name of Gu Yanke this time, three of them have been sent on the battlefield. Presumably, Qin Jun has already made a perfect plan this time.

Now that the situation is calm, in Mo Fei's opinion, the Qin army did not start to recuperate after the previous battle. On the contrary, Qin Fufeng was most likely planning something else. And these plans will also be the strongest blow that can cause harm to the Sixteen Counties of Yanyun in the future. (To be continued.) )
