Chapter 261: Suspicious Soldiers

Zhao Yu walked to the sand table, pointed to a place with his finger, and said, "This place is called Yaoshan Stone, but this place was abandoned twenty years ago. This is the mountain road opened up by the herb pickers in the past, which can pass through the mountains and go directly to the vicinity of Liucheng, and the distance is about one hundred and thirty miles shorter than the official road! ”

The infantry generally marched at a speed of between 50 and 60 li a day, and a distance of 130 li was equivalent to a little more than two days.

Yang Wenguang was stunned and asked, "Does the prince mean to attack him by surprise and mislead An Huaman?" ”

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "That's right! Therefore, this time the troops will be divided into two routes, one is the main force, and the other is the suspicious soldiers, with multiple flags, false camps, and confusing the fine work sent by Anhuaman. You don't need to slow down much, just march a little faster than usual. In this way, An Huaman has no suspicions. ”

Li Shouzhong asked: "Lord Wang, your plan is good, but where are the suspicious soldiers?" The number of troops dispatched this time is only 1,000 people, so why do you need 300 people to confuse the suspicious soldiers? The remaining 700 people, how to cross the mountain road will be a little damaged, this is less than 700 soldiers and horses to defeat 20,000 or 30,000 An Huaman, I'm afraid it's unlikely! ”

Zhao Yu nodded and said: "The king you said also took into account, what this king means is that this time it is not a thousand soldiers and horses, but two thousand, otherwise how can An Huaman's meticulous work be suspicious." Therefore, in addition to the king's 1,000 soldiers and horses, he also sent people to command about 500 men and horses, and then recruited the homeless people and prodigals in the city, how could there be nearly 1,000 people! In this way, it is claimed that more than 2,000 troops set off, and the eyes of these meticulous works can also be fascinated. ”

Ma Yu thought for a moment. He stood up and said, "Lord Wang." Sent to be a suspicious soldier. Let me be responsible! ”

Li Shouzhong said: "It should be that in the future, Ma Ti is a general who is a powerful Anhuaman, and he is familiar with the combat methods of Anhuaman, as well as the terrain in that area, and should not be overused!" ”

Ma Yu shook his head and said, "It is precisely because of this general that he is the commander of the suspicious army." If Ben Shuai was not in the suspicious array, how could An Huaman not be suspicious? ”

Zhao Yu thought for a moment. Also nodded in approval. "Although Matthi is a suspicious soldier, this is also a merit!"

Ma Yu was slightly happy in his heart, he was recognized by King Wei Chitose, and this time he didn't lose anything!

Feng Shenji hesitated: "Lord Wang, it's just like this, who stays in Guizhou City?" Although Guizhou City is said to be located in the rear, it is also the hub, so we have to pay attention to it! ”

As soon as he heard this, the commander of the forbidden army stationed in Guizhou made Chen Guangying overjoyed, lest someone else grab it. stood up and patted his chest, and said, "Lord Wang." The last general has been stationed in Guizhou City for more than two years and is familiar with the size of Guizhou. The matter of garrisoning Guizhou City will be handed over to the last general! The last general will definitely guard this rear for the prince! ”

Zhao Yu looked at Chen Guangying a little speechlessly, and what he said was righteous and awe-inspiring, but who doesn't know that you Chen Guangying is greedy for life and afraid of death?

Yang Wenguang, Li Shouzhong and other generals of the forbidden army all moved their steps quietly and slightly, distancing themselves from Chen Guangying. Otherwise, he would turn his face sideways, and he didn't want to see Chen Guangying out of the corner of his eyes.

"General Chen is really a model of martial arts! With such a heavy responsibility, stand up immediately and ask for responsibility! One person stood up, glanced at Chen Guangying with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said.

Zhao Yu glanced at it, but he was a young general, not very old, about twenty years old at most. Looking at the appearance, it looks a little like Ma Yu, I don't know if it happens to be similar in appearance, or Ma Yu's nephew?

Zhao Yu glanced at the other party in some surprise, if he had seen it, he should have remembered it, why hadn't he seen it in the past?

Feng Shenji, as Zhao You's right-hand man, naturally saw the doubts in Zhao Yu's heart, walked to Zhao Yu's side quietly, and explained in a low voice: "Lord Wang, this is Ma Tongde, the son of Ma Tishi, who is eighteen this year. I was recently promoted to the deputy commander of the newly recruited soldiers, so this is the first time I have participated in such a high-level meeting! ”

Although the rank of the deputy commander is not high, the real power is heavy, although Ma Yu is under the jurisdiction of the soldiers and horses of the Guangnan West Road, but in this matter, I am afraid that he has also moved a lot of favors.

It's just that this also makes Zhao Yu secretly vigilant in his heart, although the newly recruited army is only a box soldier, but in Zhao Yu's heart, it is more important than joining the Guangzhou Forbidden Army. After all, those forbidden troops were northerners on the one hand, and arrogant on the other. Sensei said that Zhao Yu, even Yang Wenguang and Li Shouzhong, these 'county officials (now in charge)', are not too able to point to these soldiers.

Besides, Chen Guangying, who humiliated a junior like Ma Tongde so much, and his face turned red with anger. Although Ma Yu is a soldier and a horse, he Chen Guangying is a forbidden army, and he will be stationed in about half a year. It's not scared.

I saw Chen Guangying skimming Ma Tongde and sneering: "Commander Ma is young, he is really a good boy!" Compared with the general, I am afraid that I will be able to bear the heavy responsibility! It's a model of martial arts! If all the generals of the Great Song Dynasty are like this, why worry about the immortality of Anhua? ”

Chen Guangying's words were even more thorny, saying that Ma Tongde relied on his father. The latter sentence says that Anhuaman is not destroyed, but in fact, it means that if everyone is like you, the army of the Great Song Dynasty will be able to destroy a clown like Anhuaman!

Ma Yu also frowned secretly when he heard this, but he was not ordinary in the end. It is not good for anyone to expose each other's shortcomings in front of Zhao Yu. Therefore, he immediately grabbed the young and vigorous son, smiled at Chen Guangying, and said, "Thank you Commander Chen for the compliment!" ”

Although Ma Tongde was pulled by his father, he was not convinced at all, snorted coldly, turned his head, and pointed at Chen Guangying with the back of his head.

Zhao Yu came out and finished the fight and said, "Okay, what kind of thing is it that the White Tiger Hall praises each other?" ”

Ma Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the prince has no intention of investigating why Ma Tongde was promoted to deputy commander at such a young age.

Zhao Yu came out to speak, Chen Guangying didn't dare to offend Zhao Yu, so he had to show a hypocritical smile and say a few polite words to Ma Yu. gives people the illusion that he and Ma Yunai are good buddies.

Zhao Yu also ignored the hypocrisy of the two, and said: "Come on, the commander of the forbidden army in Guizhou will make Chen Guangying obey the order!" ”

Chen Guangying was a little apprehensive in his heart, stood up, arched his hand towards Zhao Yu, and said, "The end will be!" ”

"I'll leave the matter of garrisoning Guizhou City to you this time! Don't let this king down! Zhao Yu said.

Chen Guangying was overjoyed and said: "Please rest assured, the prince will definitely protect Guizhou in the end and build Guizhou into an iron bucket, so that the prince has no worries!" ”

Zhao Yu took an arrow, handed it to Chen Guangying, and said, "You go down and arrange things!" You don't have to participate in the follow-up military conference! ”

Changing to other people may be dissatisfied, but Chen Guangying is even happier. He already had no intention of pursuing a career, after all, he would return to the capital in a little while, and what he wanted most now was to be merry and happy, of course, before that, his life was more important.

Chen Guangying nodded, and said busily: "In this way, the general will go down to prepare for defense!" Retire! ”

After Chen Guangying finished speaking, he immediately said, "Oh, oh! He walked briskly.

Ma Tongde said dissatisfiedly: "Lord Wang, how can such a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death give him the heavy responsibility of defending Guizhou City?" ”

"Presumptuous! In front of the prince, did you speak? Ma Yu was angry and reprimanded his son Ma Tongde.

Ma Tongde lowered his head sickly, his teeth gently biting his lower lip, and his unconvinced mood was completely exposed on his face.

Zhao Yu waved his hand to stop Ma Yu's follow-up words. calmly explained: "The reason why this king asked Chen Guangying to come to garrison Guizhou City is that this king does not trust Chen Guangying to have the courage to fight to the death. Such a person, arranged by your side to face the enemy, will you rest assured that he will not run away in a critical situation and sell your flanks? ”

Everyone looked thoughtful.

Zhao Yu continued: "Since you are so worried everywhere, it can even be said to be on guard, it is better to arrange Chen Guangying in Guizhou City." No matter how greedy Chen Guangying is for life and afraid of death, he can't surrender Guizhou City to Anhuaman, right? ”

All the generals were convinced, and said in unison: "The prince employs people, and the last general will be convinced!" ”

Zhao Yu smiled, and then said to the sand table: "The suspicious soldiers are already good, but the main force, this king is ready to use Zhong Rong and Shouzhong to the forbidden army of you!" ”

Yang Wenguang said: "Lord Wang, the forbidden army of the two of us is not neat, and the current total is only about 300 people, so it is better to transfer some more from Chen Guangying!" ”

Ma Yu also said: "Lord Wang, although the equipment of the last general's troops is not as good as that of the forbidden army, they are also veterans, but there are 300 people, make do with it, you can also make up a thousand elite soldiers!" ”

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "Chen Guangying doesn't need it there!" Chen Guangying's headquarters will be stationed in about half a year, and the soldiers under him are eager to return, and they will definitely not be willing to let them fight at this time. Even if you force them into battle, how useful do you think disgruntled soldiers are? As for Mathiha, although it is said that it is a suspicious soldier, it also needs a group of elite soldiers to decorate the façade, otherwise those Anhuaman's meticulous work will be useless, and I am afraid that there will be a problem inside! This king will have a hundred men! ”

Ma Yu hesitated, nodded and said, "That's good, it's just that there is a gap of about six hundred people, I don't know what the prince is going to make up from that army?" ”

"Draw from the Guangjing Army!" Zhao Yu said.

The Guangjing Army is the name set up by Zhao Yu's newly recruited soldiers, which is taken from the meaning of "Guangnan appeasement"!

Feng Shenji immediately objected: "Lord Wang, the Guangjing Army has only been established for half a year, and some soldiers and horses have been recruited in a row, and the soldiers with short training time are only in their early two months!" It's only half a year long! Xia Guan heard that it takes two years for an archer to become an archer and three years for use. It takes a year and a half for a pikeman to first become a pikeman, and three years for the fastest to use! The cavalry needs more patience, three years at the fastest, five or six years at the slower! How can such soldiers and horses be burdened? ”

Although Feng Shenji was slandering the army he was responsible for training, Li Shouzhong only had an ugly face and did not speak. After all, this is a matter of Zhao Yu's net worth, and he, Li Shouzhong, did not dare to rashly open his mouth to praise his subordinates. (To be continued......)
