[Chapter 85: Fight or Defend, Letter from the Yue Clan]
Chenyin's suggestion was not agreed with by the majority.
Because it's too risky, there is a fortress wall to resist, and there may be a glimmer of life, but if you rush out, it will be a life and death.
When the last moment does not come, people will always subconsciously hide behind high walls and act as an ostrich to fend off the enemy.
"We are against a breakout." A voice sounded abruptly, interrupting Chenyin's words.
Following the prestige, it was Ma Gu who sat in the middle of the staff officers. He is now a member of the Staff Corps.
Ma Gu's identity, in fact, many people in Feiyunwei know, but few people care. After all, the contemporary Jin Gong is not only his son, he is not the son of the world, and everyone here will not treat him as a dish.
There are now more than thirty staff officers in the staff song, all of whom were officers selected from Feiyunwei and the remnants of the Fourth Army Corps. They were divided into five staff squads according to their level of familiarity (Note 1), and Ma Gu was the leader of one of them.
Shen Yun, who had just taken over the command of Feiyunwei, didn't have time to arrange his voice among the staff officers, and he didn't have any experience in how to control the army's right to speak - there was no situation where he could rebuke Fang Xuan as soon as he took office, any environment has its own laws and laws of survival, and the army is no exception.
After Ma Gu spoke, the other staff team members also spoke, echoing Chenyin's few and agreeing with Ma Gu's more.
The sound of the conference room suddenly became noisy.
Although Shen Yun didn't know how to command and control the army, he also knew that as an army that was forbidden by order, it was not possible to have a variety of voices, and this kind of noisy and noisy situation like a vegetable market was a precursor to the collapse of an army.
"Enough!" Shen Yun's blood pressure rose sharply by the noise, and he couldn't help but shout.
The conference room slowly fell silent. Everyone looked at Shen Yun. However, they did not show shame or embarrassment, but with a look of disbelief and unwillingness.
Seeing this, a feeling of helplessness also appeared on the cold face of the fifth company.
Although there is the title of Marquis of Bohai of the Han Dynasty, everyone does not dare to be presumptuous and nonsense. But if you want these officers to obey the military orders completely and unconditionally, Shen Yun's respect for the marquis is not enough, and he still needs to show his own extraordinary means and abilities.
Seeing their expressions, Shen Yun also knew how naΓ―ve it was to want everyone to obey him by virtue of his identity as the Marquis of Bohai, and everything in the army was still respected by strength.
Glancing around, the Fifth Company, Fang Cheng, and Zhao Xin are his real strength. As for the others......
Shen Yun had a sneer on his face, his eyes were like electricity, and he looked at everyone: "Everyone, since Ben Hou is in this position, he will be responsible for everyone's lives!" But the ugly words lie ahead. It is the duty of a soldier to obey military orders, and if anyone dares to disobey military orders. Don't blame Ben Hou for turning his face and not recognizing people! β
"Wow. Obey the orders of the Hou Ye! Chen Yin was the first to stand up and salute. Although the others were unwilling, they also saluted one after another, expressing their obedience to Shen Yun's leadership.
Shen Yun keenly grasped the words of Chenyin's words - Hou Ye's order, not Hou Ye's military order, hehe, it seems that this Chenyin is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
But now Shen Yun doesn't plan to deal with Chen Yin. So he waved his hand indifferently: "Okay, since you all agree with Ben Hou's command, then now please go back and make a plan and hand it over to Ben Hou." As for how to choose in the end, Ben Hou has his own ideas. The meeting is adjourned! Each has its own job. In case the rebels of the Moon Clan attack the city! β
"Whoa!" Everyone took their leave.
Shen Yun motioned with his eyes for the Fifth Company and the others to stay, while Ma Gu also hesitated to walk last, obviously wanting to stay as well. Chen Yin's eyes were even more vicious, and after thinking about it, he didn't walk in the front, but lingered at the door.
People's hearts are always the most difficult to control.
Shen Yun couldn't help but sigh.
The last people who stayed, in addition to the three song chiefs of the special compilation department, as well as Fang Cheng and Zhao Xin, as well as Ma Gu and Chen Yin.
"Brother Xianyu, you just said that you are against it, what is the reason?"
Those who should have gone are gone, and those who stayed understand why they stayed. Shen Yun didn't need to be polite, and asked questions directly.
Ma Gu became a company commander in Feiyunwei with his identity, but after the reorganization, he entered the staff song. Speaking of which, he had always looked down on Shen Yun when he was the emperor, but now that Shen Yun was already a marquis, and he was recognized by all of Feiyun Castle, Ma Gu naturally didn't dare to be presumptuous to him anymore.
Ma Gu said: "Back to the Hou Ye, I am against it because the Yue Clan's rebels have just defeated the Fourth Legion and have formed an encirclement of Feiyun Castle. The Yue Clan rebels are not fools, they must be guarding against us, breaking through at this moment is undoubtedly self-defeating! On the contrary, there is still a glimmer of life in Feiyun Castle. Because Feiyun Fort is an important stronghold of our Northern Frontier Front Army returning to the south, both Marshal Hu Gong and the rebel commander are well aware of the importance of Feiyun Fort, such an important place, Hu Gong will definitely send troops to the rescue, as long as we can hold it, there will be a turnaround! β
That's not a bad thing to say. Shen Yun was silent, his eyes secretly looked at Chen Yin, and seeing that he was also thoughtful, he turned to the other side and said, "Fifth Song Chief, what do you mean?" β
The Fifth Company obviously had an idea a long time ago, and replied stiffly: "I agree with Staff Officer Ma's opinion. β
Shen Yun looked at Zheng Ying, this good brother of the Fifth Company had no objections. And when it was Wen Cui's turn to express his position, the dark-skinned female officer stared at Shen Yun with big eyes: "When Feiyun Castle is in danger, if you are really willing to let me come forward to fight in the third song, I will agree with you!" β
Wen Cui's eyes were very sharp, and Shen Yun was so uncomfortable that he couldn't help twisting his body, coughed and said, "Ben Hou doesn't have an opinion yet, what do you mean by this?" β
Wen Cui pursed his lips and stopped talking. In fact, Wen Cui's meaning is very simple, she no longer wants to be a "logistics medical worker". Because they were female soldiers before, the female soldiers brought by Wen Cui were always excluded from the main battlefield, except for the gains in Shiliping, all the generals excluded them in the rest of the big battles and small battles, which made Wen Cui feel that he was a burden. It wasn't until Shen Yun made the decision that Wen Cui saw hope.
Wen Cui was of course a little surprised by Shen Yun's sudden appearance, but he was not too surprised. After all, she knew Zhou Hui's identity, and when she saw Zhou Hui and Shen Yun so close before, Wen Cui had already suspected it, and now she just confirmed this idea.
Although Wen Cui didn't speak again, the big eyes that seemed to be able to speak undoubtedly expressed the threat very clearly: If you dare to treat us female soldiers as a burden again. I have to go to Zhou Hui to complain!
Shen Yun felt a shudder inexplicably, this woman really didn't dare to offend!
As for Fang Cheng and Zhao Xin. Fang Cheng's meaning was the same as Wen Cui's, following Shen Yun's decision. And Zhao Xin hesitated for a moment, and also agreed with the opinion of the fifth company.
Obviously, many of the decisions made by the Special Editorial Department are still based on the Fifth Company. Although Zhao Xin has shown the potential to become a famous general, at this moment, he has not yet reached the level where he can express his wishes, and Zhao Xin does not have a clear set of tactical ideas of his own.
Famous generals, not born. It's not something that happens overnight.
Whether it is Shen Yun, or Zhao Xin, or Fang Cheng, Pang Tong, and Zhong Lisi, although they are intimate robes, they are still a long way from the title of famous general at the moment.
But among these few. Shen Yun undoubtedly has an innate advantage. He is the Marquis of Bohai of the Han Dynasty and has a noble status. What's more. He's a traverser! A traverser like the Holy Ancestor Emperor!
Of course, this secret is now known only to him!
β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»
The outcome of the final discussion at the meeting was stubbornness. This is the consensus of all. Shen Yun didn't change its meaning either. In fact, what Ma Gu said about stubbornness is indeed more in line with the aspirations of all the soldiers in the special editorial department.
Facts have proved that the morale of the military is also very important.
Defensive matters, the Fifth Company was properly arranged. I have to say. Although the Fifth Company has not yet graduated, the military command talent he has displayed is even better than that of those officers who have graduated for a long time and have become the rank of general.
The defense of the entire Feiyun Castle, where do you need to place bed crossbows. Where do you need to prepare rolling stones, rolling wood, and where to build an iron pot for boiling oil...... Where to place crossbowmen, where to place pikemen, and where to prepare sword and shield men...... Everything was an order issued by the Fifth Companyβof course, under the name of Shen Yun.
However, Shen Yun didn't feel like a puppet at all. Because he really doesn't understand. This is a war, and if you don't know how to pretend to understand, you will die.
Of course, when the Fifth Company gave the order, Shen Yun was also frantically learning this knowledge. For example, why should there be two companies of sword and shield soldiers on the front of the fort wall instead of one battalion? And why only build two iron pots instead of three or four? These are all learnings.
And the Fifth Company will also tell him the reason without reservation. Place two companies of sword and shield soldiers because this is the front of Feiyun Castle, the main attack direction of the Yue's rebels, and placing too many men and horses will cause unnecessary attrition, and in the hidden soldier hole under the fort wall, you can arrange the Qian's team and other soldiers, once the Yue's rebels attack the city with a ladder, the Qian's team will go first, the sword and shield soldiers will follow, and then the other reserves, so that you can protect the city with the least casualties. As for why there are two iron pots instead of three, it is because the head of the city is only so wide and there are only so many people, no matter how much it is, it will not come in handy - well, this is a very advanced mathematical problem, Shen Yun automatically ignored its calculation method, it is too difficult!
In addition, Chen Yin also taught Shen Yun a lot in terms of logistics arrangements. For example, the statistics of grain and grass, as well as the distribution of each soldier's rations, how to ensure the combat effectiveness of soldiers with the least consumption of resources - this is also an esoteric mathematical problem, and Shen Yun is very painful to learn.
Of course, now Shen Yun can leave all the math problems to Chen Yin or the staff officers to solve, but if Shen Yun wants to become a real military general, these things must be learned. Because he doesn't understand this, but leaves it all to the people below to do, it will be easy to be deceived - don't think that in the army of the Han Empire, there is no such thing as deducting military salaries and greedy for military supplies, people's hearts are the most unpredictable, and they have to be guarded against.
It is hard to imagine that those commanders must have been mathematicians. Thousands of soldiers need to worry about eating, drinking, and Lazar, and the general of the army needs to worry about it, and it is really difficult to do it if they are not good at mathematics. Therefore, it is not so simple to become a real general.
After a busy day, things were finally arranged, and Shen Yun could also walk out of the conference room and relax on the castle wall.
It's already June 8th, and the sun is setting, like a bloody sunset shining on the castle wall, smearing the rich vicissitudes of Feiyun Castle with a layer of mysterious color, like a castle made of blood!
There was a lot of hustle and bustle above and below the fort walls. After watching the sunset for a while, Shen Yun slowly walked towards his barracks - it was almost time to eat.
When he was about to arrive at the barracks, Zhong Lisi suddenly jumped out from a corner, but Shen Yun was startled.
"Hey, Zhongli. What's wrong with you? Shen Yun found that Zhong Lisi's left eye was actually blue, he didn't wear a helmet, and his hair was scattered, like those seriously injured people in the wounded barracks.
Zhong Lisi's thin body dodged behind Shen Yun, Wu Qing's eyes widened, and he looked around, and finally said cautiously: "Master Hou, what position have you arranged for me?" Kill me! β
Shen Yun thought for a while, and said strangely: "Arrange you to be the battalion commander under Wen Cui, isn't this what you took the initiative to ask for yesterday?" Why did you regret it today? β
Zhong Lisi thought for a moment. Scratching his head embarrassedly, seeing that there was no movement around, he stood up from behind Shen Yun and said embarrassedly: "Master Hou, or." Will you get me back to be your personal guard? I'll swap it with Pang Fatty! β
Taking a closer look, Shen Yun also found a few scratches on Zhong Lisi's face. Compare the length and thickness of the thickness. It's clear that a woman did it!
Shen Yun said with a straight face: "Zhongli, you won't go and peek at the female soldiers taking a bath, right?" β
When Zhong Lisi heard this, his face suddenly fell, and tears flowed from his dark eyes: "My Hou Ye, how dare I!" Me, me. I thought it would be a good thing to go to the female soldiers, but who the fuck knew it was a bunch of tigresses! Except for the chief of the song, no one directed the movement at all. I wanted to go and ask Situ Xiaoyue's mother-in-law to eat just now, but she scratched me like this...... Woooooooooooo Master Hou, you have to make the decision for me! β
Shen Yun chuckled.
The so-called asking Situ Xiaoyue to eat Yunyun, Shen Yun didn't believe it at all. According to Zhong Lisi's temper, it was estimated that it was a cheap girl who was squirming just now. No wonder people have been scratched into this virtue.
However, the arrangement of Zhong Lisi to be the battalion commander of the female soldier Qu is also due to Shen Yun's own considerations, first of all, because the chief of the female soldier Qu is Wen Cui, and the other female soldiers are all ordinary soldiers who entered the third song of the personal guard battalion, and the battalion commander is Zhou Hui. As for the other battalions, companies and platoons are all officers with men. After all, the non-commissioned officers who were charged into the special department were all the remnants of the Fourth Army, and a group of big men already complained about a female commander, and if they stuffed some female officers at the company and platoon level, it was estimated that they would riot.
The second is the existence of Zhou Hui, Shen Yun arranged Zhong Lisi over, mainly to help protect Zhou Hui nearby. For these robes, Shen Yun did not hide Zhou Hui's true identity. For the beauty of protecting Yinggong's favorite young daughter, Zhong Lisi slapped his thin chest with a bang.
In the end, for the purpose of mastering the army, Shen Yun already had a preliminary idea of taking power, that is, to arrange a trustworthy person to lead the army. Zhao Xin and Fang Cheng don't need to say, and Zhong Lisi and Pang Tong are more suitable for the clever and sleek Zhong Lisi. Moreover, Zhong Lisi is also actively seeking this position. Of course, Shen Yun would not refuse to give.
But what Shen Yun didn't expect was that the battalion commander, who had only been working for a day, Zhong Lisi cried and shouted to pick a son, but of course Shen Yun refused.
Just as Shen Yun was about to teach Zhong Lisi a lesson with a straight face, the sound of bells and drums in Feiyun Castle suddenly rang.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
"Oooooo......oo
The voice resounded throughout the castle, Shen Yun was suddenly startled, Zhong Lisi had already jumped up: "Damn, the Yue Clan rebels are attacking the city!" β
"Quick, go back to camp, get your team in order, and be ready to fight!" Shen Yun couldn't care about Zhong Lisi's hurt little heart, so he pushed him to the side and immediately ran towards the fortress wall.
Go up the road, cross the city tower, and run directly to the west of the fortress wall to take a look, directly like the blood of the sun, a black wave is surging towards Feiyun Castle!
"Enemy attack! Defense! β
"Enemy attack, defense!!"
β¦β¦
The mournful sound of sirens throughout the fort walls was heard incessantly. All the Han soldiers were in place in a hurry, and judging from their expressions, the Han soldiers were a little nervous about Yue's sudden attack, but judging from their methodical movements, the Han soldiers were obviously mentally prepared again. This contradiction is very obvious.
"The armies obey the order, the crossbowmen prepare, shoot the arrows!" I don't know when, the fifth company had already run to the fort wall, and before it had time to say a word to Shen Yun, it jumped on the high place of the fort wall and shouted loudly to the soldiers of the Han army.
Zhao Xin and Fang Cheng also hurriedly came with the personal guard Qu and the guard Qu, but their soldiers were all waiting under the fort wall, and they brought a dozen people up to protect Shen Yun.
With the order of the 5th Company, several ten-man bed crossbows and crossbows on the fortress wall fired the first arrow, which was a positioning arrow, which was used to mark the progress of the enemy army. Once the enemy crosses the positioning arrow, it is equivalent to standing within the striking range of various ranged weapons.
In a short time, the Yue's rebels were within the farthest range of the Han army's bed crossbow. But instead of going any further, they stopped there.
"What's the situation?" Shen Yun frowned.
Among the Yue rebels, a group of cavalry stepped forward with a white flag held high, apparently to spread the word.
Fang Cheng snorted coldly: "Do they want to come to persuade them to surrender?" Hum! β
Shen Yun also smiled. I really don't know what these Yueshi people think, do you think that the Han army will really surrender?
The cavalry quickly approached, and when they reached a hundred paces outside the castle, one of them said in a loud voice: "Listen to the Han army on the fort, I am the messenger of the sixth legion of the Yue clan, and I ask to see the commander of the Han army on the fort." β
Shen Yun saw that the Fifth Company had ordered some sharpshooters to prepare, and the clusters of arrows that flashed with cold light were firmly locked on these messengers, so he walked to the edge of the fort wall and raised his voice: "I am the supreme commander of the Great Han Feiyun Castle, the traitor of the Yue Clan, what do you have to say?" β
At this time, the Yue's messenger suddenly reached out and pulled it into his arms, Fang Cheng was startled, and hurriedly asked the two soldiers to raise their shields in front of Shen Yun.
This is not an act of superfluousness, but just in case. Including the previous fifth company let the sharpshooters in the army aim first, which is also for this.
In the past 500 years of the history of the Han army, there have been countless examples of this kind of tricking the commander of the enemy army to show up, and then suddenly shooting him with an arrow - it is not a myth to pierce Yang in a hundred steps, there are all kinds of strange people and strange people in the army, and the Han army has booby-trapped countless enemy generals like this, of course, it is necessary to guard against the enemy will also come to such a hand.
However, this time the Yueshi people obviously did not come to "take the head of the enemy general from the ten thousand armies", and the messenger headed by him took out a letter from his bosom, and then said: "My prince has a letter to His Excellency, and he will meet at the head of the city at noon tomorrow!" β
Shen Yun took a few steps back, and the messenger threaded the letterhead through the arrow, shot it at the head of the city, and then quickly retreated.
Shen Yun took the letterhead and opened it to see that this prince of the Yue clan had a good handwriting. It's just that the contents are no different from what the messenger just said. This letter is only a prayer message and has no substance.
Shen Yun turned his hand and handed the letter to Fang Cheng and said, "Archive." Go back to the conference room for discussion. β
Letters given by enemy generals cannot be destroyed at will, but must be given to all staff officers and generals for inspection, and then properly archived for safekeeping. Otherwise, a criminal who fornicates with the enemy army will be detained.
Fang Cheng took the letter, just glanced at it, suddenly his face changed greatly, he hurriedly grabbed Shen Yun, and said in a low voice: "Yuan Rang, this letter, this letter ......"
"What's wrong with this letter?" Shen Yunqi said.
"I know the words on this letter," Fang Cheng said hurriedly, "It seems, it seems to be Zhang Xian's handwriting!" β
"Zhang Xian? Which Zhang Xian? As soon as Shen Yun spoke, he suddenly reacted, and his eyes widened, "Zhang Xian, Zhang Kexun?" β
Fang Cheng nodded solemnly.
Shen Yun's sweat suddenly fell. Then tomorrow, do you want to stand at the head of the city and meet Zhang Xian? This was the first question that came to Shen Yun's mind.

Note 1: The number of staff squads is not set in stone and is not dictated by superiors. There can be ten squads in a staff department, or even a hundred squads, or there can be only one voice - everything depends on the personal charm and persuasiveness of the staff officers themselves. In other words, the staff officers are actually in a state of disarray, which is also a disguised protection of the generals' power. Of course, in order to maintain the power of the generals, at the beginning of their tenure, the imperial court will allow the generals to arrange for their confidants and cronies to join the staff team, so as to win over some of the staff officers for their own use. For example, this is the case with Dianmu and Baili Shu. (To be continued......)
