Feng Yangyi's complexion is naturally quite complicated. Of course he understands that Zhang Zhun is setting up an image for him! With Zhang Zhun's words, those military households in Xiahezhai still thanked him repeatedly?

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "It is not a big problem to help you recover Xiahe Village, but you must cooperate with Feng Yangyi to do a comprehensive job." Zhao Feng, I believe you won't trust him anymore. No matter what kind of group, in the final analysis, there must be a backbone. Feng Yangyi is your backbone and your core. ”

Dai Yu and Wang Ding's family were immediately overjoyed.

Zhang Zhun actually wants to go back to Xiahe Village, which is really good.

Dai Yu hurriedly said: "My lord, don't worry, what happened last time will definitely not be repeated." ”

Wang Dingjia also said fiercely: "Zhao Feng, that bastard, we all fell for him." This shameless old guy turned around and took refuge in Wang Jian, and killed so many of our brothers! When we returned, we were the first to settle accounts with him. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said in a deep voice: "Since you two understand, then I won't say more." When you go back, what you want to do, you all listen to the wind. I don't want to hear any discord. Do you know what I mean? ”

Dai Yu and Wang Dingjia both said in unison that there was absolutely no problem.

At this time, a spy came in a hurry and reported something to Zhang Zhun.

Zhang Zhun's eyebrows suddenly rose, and then he nodded quietly, and said, "I know, pay close attention to this matter." Feel free to report me if there is any change. ”

The spies left.

Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment, his eyes fell on Dai Yu and Wang Ding's body again, and said slowly: "Are you ready?" ”

Dai Yu and Wang Dingjia hurriedly said, "My lord, we are all ready. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said decisively: "You set off in the evening, and I will arrange a boat to transport you." Yang Zhiyuan will lead the soldiers of the escort team to help you conquer Xiahe City. He will also stay in Xiahe Village for a while to help you stabilize the situation. ”

The three of them were even more grateful.

Everyone knows that Yang Zhiyuan is one of the oldest backbones of the escort team, and Hao Linyong, known as Zhang Zhun's right-hand man, has the most rich combat experience. It's just that when Zhang Zhun was driven away, Yang Zhiyuan's temper was still relatively large, and Yang Zhiyuan did not attend the banquet later. If he also has a mustard in his heart...... Brigadier General Zhang Yang Zhiyuan called him and ordered him to lead a squad of soldiers to escort Feng Yangyi and others back to Xiahe Village. A squad of the convoy, with a total of fifty fighters, plus officers of all ranks, was only more than sixty people. However, Zhang Zhun felt that fifty people were enough. Because, when they arrived at the front of Xiahe Village, Lingshanwei was about to have a big event. Wang Jian, it is impossible to have the strength to reinforce the former office of Xiahe Village.

Brigadier Zhang called Yang Zhiyuan aside and said expectantly: "Tiger head, take charge alone, are you confident?" ”

Yang Zhiyuan said calmly: "I'll give it a try." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said encouragingly: "When you encounter difficulties, listen to the opinions of the fighters." You have more than 60 subordinates, and if only one person makes a better suggestion, it may have a great effect. The first squad has the largest number of members of the Shengxia Sect, there are six, and with you, it is seven. Take the first team with you. ”

Yang Zhiyuan said: "My lord, I can save it. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded, turned his head to look at the sea outside, and suddenly said with some emotion: "In the blink of an eye, eight months have passed." This time flies so fast! ”

Yang Zhiyuan is also deeply touched and difficult to control.

Eight months ago, they were all poor military households who couldn't open the pot, and they had eaten the last meal but not the next, but now, they have all become officers leading the troops, and there is a group of lively young men under them. Their families have also undergone earth-shaking changes, with qualitative changes in clothing, food, housing, and transportation. And, from now on, he's going to start taking charge on his own. This means that in the future, he will achieve even more.

Zhang Zhun said: "The past things in Xiahezhai have been forgotten. ”

Yang Zhiyuan said firmly: "My lord, I am resolutely consistent with you!" ”

Zhang Zhun nodded, patted Yang Zhiyuan's shoulder vigorously, and said in a deep voice: "Go!" If you have any difficulties, feel free to send someone to tell me! ”

Yang Zhiyuan stood up and saluted and strode away.

…… After the four of them left, Zhang Zhun stood quietly for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Liu Jixiang! ”

Liu Jixiang hurriedly came in: "My lord, what are your orders?" ”

Zhang Zhun said: "Call Yang Guohua, Zhou Zhengyu, Fang He, Liu Dong, Hao Linyong, and Yang Zixuan." ”

Liu Jixiang agreed.

This is the barracks of the escort team, in addition to the four commanders of the navy, Hao Linyong and Yang Zixuan are close at hand, and they came over immediately after receiving the order. When they looked at Zhang Zhun's face, they knew that there was a battle. Yang Zhiyuan had just left, and it was believed that he had gone on a combat mission.

Yang Zixuan said expectantly: "My lord, are we going to do something to the pirates?" ”

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "Do you have any good suggestions?" ”

Yang Zixuan had no choice but to smile helplessly.

If the pirates come ashore, of course, the escort team can let the other party not be able to eat, and one or two hundred pirates come ashore, which is not enough for the escort to eat. However, the pirates were cruising the seas, and they had nothing to do. He can't fly, what advice can he have? Even if you want to fight, it's a matter of the navy, and the relationship with the infantry army is really not big.

Hao Linyong said a little unwillingly: "My lord, why don't we design another pocket, the same as a tartar?" ”

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said calmly: "It's impossible." The pirates know what we're capable of, and they won't go ashore easily. ”

Hao Linyong had no choice but to smile helplessly.

It seems that in this battle of being bullied by the pirates, the escort team itself has no way to take revenge, and can only look forward to the performance of the navy. I hope that the navy will grow stronger as soon as possible, and don't let those pirates continue to appear on the sea near Fushan City.

Soon after, Yang Guohua, Zhou Zhengyu, Fang He, Liu Dong and others all came one after another.

Zhang Zhun said bluntly: "There is an accident in Lingshanwei, and Mo Yu has been arrested. ”

It turned out that the news that Zhang Zhun had just received was that Mo Yu had been arrested. The information was sent by Yi Litao, so naturally there would be no mistake. Mo Yu, this kid, after returning to Lingshanwei from Fushan, didn't know what was going on, but he was actually grabbed by Wang Jian. Right now, Mo Yu is being held in a dungeon. And the dungeon has always been Wang Jian's detention of the most dangerous prisoners.

Although Mo Yu has never been a member of the escort team, and he has no contact with Sheng Xia Zong, after all, he has done something for Zhang Zhun, hasn't he? Well, none of that, it doesn't matter. Importantly, he gave Jang Joon a once-in-a-lifetime excuse. Zhang Zhun coveted the Lingshanwei next to him, and it was not a day or two. It's just that if you want to do something to Lingshanwei, you have to have an excuse, right? Mo Yu is an excuse.

Hao Linyong's eyes lit up, and he said eagerly: "My lord, let's attack the Lingshan Acropolis directly?" Or do you make a detour to Xiahe Village and attack in a roundabout way? ”

Zhang Zhun said undoubtedly: "The person who dares to arrest us, what are you doing with him?" Directly hit the Lingshan Acropolis! Scratch his eggs, don't be afraid that he won't let go! ”

Everyone immediately geared up and their morale was high.

Those damn pirates, they can't reach them, they can't directly eliminate them, but the Lingshan Acropolis is just a bay away. As for the attack on the Lingshan Acropolis, everyone felt that it was not very difficult. As long as they can successfully land in Lingshanwei, there will be no suspense in the next battle. As for whether or not it can land in Lingshanwei, it is not a problem, Mawan does not have any protection at all.

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice: "My opinion is to leave the two squads of the First Association to continue to monitor the pirates and the enemy in the direction of Jimo, and the rest of the troops will all follow me to attack the Lingshan Acropolis." Sailor detachments should also go ashore to fight and gain actual combat experience. Do you have any objections? ”

Of course, there is no objection.

Zhang Zhun nodded and said decisively: "In that case, let's go and carry out the order!" All ready! Tomorrow morning! Attention, bring a little extra ammo! On Lingshanwei's side, there is no ammunition replenishment for the time being! ”

Everyone agreed, and the excitement dispersed.

Soon, all the soldiers of the escort team urgently prepared for battle. Because of the confidentiality of the news, most of the warriors thought that they were going to find the pirates, and they were all holding back their strength. The adults ordered them to bring more ammunition, and every soldier stuffed his body to the brim, for fear that the ammunition would not be enough. As for the Tiger Hammer, it is carefully wiped and repaired to ensure that there will be no malfunction in the event of a battle.

Zhang Zhun shouted again: "Ma Yi! ”

Ma Yi hurried over.

Zhang Zhun groaned and said, "Fang Yu's side, has there been any progress recently?" ”

Ma Yi shook his head and said, "Not for the time being." However, my lord, as soon as our troops reach Lingshanwei, he will definitely come to meet us. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said, "Fang Yu's matter will be handled by you." ”

Ma Yi said confidently: "My lord, please rest assured, I know how to do it." ”

Zhang Zhun waved his hand, and Ma Yi left.

The Fang Yu they mentioned was actually a representative of Lingshanwei's rebellious military households. Like Ao Shanwei, Lingshanwei's military life is equally miserable. Since decades ago, Lingshanwei has always had military families who want to start a rebellion. Due to the geographical location, there are a lot of salt owls in Lingshanwei, and the wind of fighting bravely is very strong. However, Wang Jian, the hereditary commander of Lingshanwei, was more capable than Zhao Yinying, and was bloody and decisive in dealing with the rebellion of military households. Fang Yu: They didn't dare to move easily. However, if the escort team arrived, Fang Yu and them would definitely take action.

For Zhang Zhun, he also needs locals as guides. Compared with Fushansuo, Lingshanwei is a huge leap in terms of population and land. Without the help of someone familiar with the local situation, it would be difficult for Zhang Zhun to completely control Lingshanwei. He is in Lingshanwei and has no foundation.

The next day was the eighteenth day of August in the seventh year of Chongzhen.

Early in the morning, Zhang Zhun took the 2nd and 3rd Concords of the escort team, a total of 300 people, and a detachment of 100 sailors, to board the ship in Partridge Bay, and after half an hour of sailing, they successfully set foot on the land of Lingshanwei. After going ashore, less than thirty miles to the west, there is the Lingshan Acropolis.

Knowing that Zhang Zhun led the escort team to arrive, the Lingshan Acropolis had already been on guard, and the whole city was on alert. The military households outside the city also avoided them because they were worried that the war would affect them. Of course, there are also many military households who warmly welcome the arrival of Zhang Zhun and others. After going ashore, on both sides of the road, there were local military households, silently watching the march of the convoy.

The slogan of "Juntian is exempt from military service" has gradually spread in Lingshanwei, and many military households are looking forward to the day when Zhang Zhun will come. Now, Jang Jon has finally arrived, giving them hope. However, as the so-called concern leads to chaos, between gains and losses, these military households can't help but be a little worried, and they don't know if Zhang Zhun can successfully conquer the Lingshan Acropolis. After all, the Lingshan Acropolis is not a small city like Fushan City!

"What a big city!"

When Zhang Zhun saw the Lingshan Acropolis for the first time, he couldn't help but admire.

Lingshanwei, in the fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1372 AD), Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, commanded Zhu Xing to build an earthen city in preparation for the Japanese invaders. In the second year of Yongle (1405 A.D.) and the Hongzhi period, it was expanded twice, and the outer layer was made of bricks, four doors and buildings, and the street was a cross, all of which were square and square, and the shape was like a chessboard. Since the establishment of Lingshanwei, it has been an important military fortress in the southeast of Shandong and a sea outpost front.

Zhang Zhun visually observed that the shortest city walls of the Lingshan Acropolis were all three zhang high. As for the thickness of the walls, it is even more doubtful. The Acropolis had a total of four gates, and on top of each gate, there were strong towers. Behind each city gate, there is also an urn city. In all fairness, if there were no firearms, the price to be paid to conquer such a fortified city would have been not small.

In addition to the former office of Xiahe Village, there are a total of 4,000 households around the Lingshan Acropolis, and the total population is more than 50,000. Compared to the original population of several thousand people in Fushan, Lingshanwei is a real behemoth. However, for Zhang Zhun, it is not difficult to eat such a behemoth.

Standing outside the east gate of the Lingshan Acropolis, Zhang Zhun raised the clairing mirror and carefully looked at the head of the Lingshan Acropolis. Obviously, there are really a lot of defenders of the Lingshan Guard, and the back of the battlements is densely packed with human heads. As a rough estimate, there are at least a thousand of them. Wang Jian's organizational ability is really much stronger than Zhao Yinying, and in such a short period of time, he has pulled up a defensive team of thousands of people. However, he was not as lucky as Cho Yinying. The first acropolis that Zhang Zhun attacked was Lingshanwei.

"My lord, Fang Yu is here."

Ma Yi came to Zhang Zhun with a person.

He is Fang Yu, the local military household of Lingshanwei. Fang Yu is very short, stocky, and has many whip marks on his body, I don't know how he got it, I think it is mostly related to Wang Jian. Fang Yu's legs and feet were not very dexterous, as if he had been injured.

Zhang Zhun nodded and said gently, "Hello." ”

Fang Yu said respectfully, "My lord." ”

He was a little wooden-tongued, and seemed to be a taciturn man.
