Chapter 148: Fishing in Troubled Waters
Zhou Shuyuan, who just expressed his incomprehension of what Wei Zheng said, immediately reacted after hearing the words "picking peaches". Facing Wei Zheng with a surprised face, he asked rhetorically: "General, you mean that our chief soldier has also taken a fancy to Zunhua City......
Wei Zheng nodded and replied: "Let's not talk about how much credit the recovery of Zunhua is for the Zunhua General Army. In terms of duties, his Zunhua General Army must also recover Zunhua...... You must know that Zunhua in the future is his territory, if he doesn't come to recover it, how will he gain a foothold on the ground of Zunhua in the future. ”
Speaking of this, Wei Zheng continued in an affirmative tone......
"If my guess is correct, the general army of Zunhua has given us two military orders. Hold your ground in Mushroom Yu or follow the Tartars in pursuit. ”
As soon as Wei Zheng finished speaking, a big man in the army wearing hundreds of military uniforms and armor had already broken into the general's mansion, and under the gaze of Wei Zheng and others, he took out a fold from his arms with a proud face, and read aloud: "Lord Zunhua Deputy Commander Wei received the order: From now on, the Tiger and Par Army will attack immediately, follow the Tartars and launch an attack with the camera, and recapture the population and food they have captured from the Tartars. ”
"Another: After the Houjin army withdrew from Zunhua City, Zunhua City was personally defended by the General Military Office, and all the officers and men of the Tiger and Leopard Army were forbidden to enter Zunhua City, and those who violated the order were beheaded ......"
The herald finished reading the order, especially after the last chop. In the entire hall of the General's Mansion, except for Wei Zheng and Zhou Shuyuan, everyone else stared at the herald in front of them angrily, and shouted loudly with anger on their faces.
What's more, he directly pulled out his own knife out of anger, and the edge of the knife that emitted a cold light pointed directly at the herald in front of him. As long as Wei Zheng gives an order. These broadswords can chop heralds into minced meat in an instant.
"What, don't let us enter Zunhua. And let's chase the Tartars to fight...... On dog days, the Tartars are all cavalry. Let's chase them and fight them, won't we send them to death......"
"Dog's day, where were you dog officials when Lao Tzu was beating Tartars. The Tartars had just retreated, so they thought about occupying Zunhua, picking peaches, and driving us aside...... Why ......?"
"Isn't this crossing the river and demolishing the bridge? We absolutely cannot accept this military order. ”
Amid the roars of his subordinates, the herald held back the fear in his heart and shouted to everyone......
"What do you want, what do you want to do? Do you want to rebel? ”
After Zhao Yun, who had a straight temper, heard this. With a sneer, he asked rhetorically: "Dog, do you know what Lao Tzu used to do?" Sue you, we are bandits, bandits who kill people without blinking. If you push us too hard, it's a big deal that this official will not be right, and then go back to be bandits......"
At this time, the herald finally couldn't suppress the fear in his heart. Under the coercion of several big knives, he fell to his knees with a pale face, and he could no longer see the arrogant expression just now.
Wei Zheng, who had not spoken, was clear. With Zhao Yun's character, it is really possible to kill the herald in front of him out of anger. At that time, the charge of rebellion by the Haw Par Army will really be implemented.
In order to avoid this ending that I least want to see. Wei Zheng had to speak: "Enough, don't scare the heralds sent by our chief soldier." ”
After speaking, Wei Zheng directly helped the herald who was kneeling on the ground under the incomprehensible gaze of everyone. Then. He said loudly: "Go back and tell your commander-in-chief, our Tiger and Leopard Army will obey the order." ”
"Also. What to say when you go back? What not to say, you should know it in your heart. Don't forget, in addition to being the deputy chief soldier of our Zunhua, I am also a fellow of Jinyiwei. What does Jin Yiwei do, you should know better than me...... If you say anything that shouldn't be said, even if you have your chief soldier protecting you, you can't escape the pursuit of our Jinyi Guard. Alright, get out of here......"
Under the intimidation of Wei Zheng, the herald quickly fled from the general's mansion and fled from Zunhua City with the surprise and fear of the rest of his life.
After the herald left, Zhao Yun, who had just called the happiest person, was the first to say again: "General, we really won't enter Zunhua City...... Our Tiger and Leopard Army really nested in the ravine of Mushroom Yu according to the military order. ”
At the same time, including the military advisor Zhou Shuyuan, several other pairs of eyes also converged on Wei Zheng, waiting for Wei Zheng to give everyone a reasonable explanation.
Wei Zheng smiled and asked unexpectedly: "Let me ask you, even if we enter Zunhua City this time, is it possible to occupy Zunhua City all the time and not leave......
"Why is it impossible, it's a big deal that let's kill the Zunhua commander-in-chief, and let the general you serve as the Zunhua commander-in-chief. When the time comes, we can justifiably occupy Zunhua and not leave. Zhao Yun shouted loudly with a face full of anger.
Before Wei Zheng could speak, Zhou Shuyuan had already shook his head and said, "Head Zhao, your idea will definitely not work...... You are not doing this to occupy Zunhua, but to drive our Tiger and Par Army to a dead end......"
"Kill the general soldier, and our Haw Par Army will really be put on the hat of rebellion. When the time comes, the imperial court will send heavy troops to destroy us. Do you think that our Tiger and Leopard Army can rely on Zunhua, which has just been ransacked by the Tartars and has no food, to block the heavy encirclement and suppression of the imperial court? ”
After saying this, Zhao Yun, who was still very backbone just now, quickly closed his mouth. The others, too, fell silently into deep thought, and then nodded approvingly.
At this time, Wang Feng suddenly spoke: "Dog's day, since this is the case, then we won't occupy this Zunhua City...... General, you give the order, next, how should we fight the Tiger and Leopard Army......"
Wei Zheng shook his head and gave another answer that surprised everyone.
"Although we don't occupy Zunhua City, it doesn't mean that we won't enter Zunhua City."
"The military advisor said at the beginning that although Zunhua has been occupied by the Tartars for a few months, it is impossible for such a large Zunhua City to be completely scraped by the Tartars. Not to mention much, as far as the people in our Tiger and Leopard Army are most lacking, especially the craftsmen, there are still a lot of people left in Zunhua City. If we can walk around Zunhua City, we will definitely have a very big harvest. ”
Wang Feng opened his mouth at this time, and asked with a puzzled expression: "But, general, the order of the general soldier of Zunhua just now is very clear. After the Tartars withdrew from Zunhua, the General Military Government would send troops to receive Zunhua. Is it possible for us to occupy Zunhua in such a short period of time and get what we want in Zunhua? ”
A sneer quickly appeared on Wei Zheng's face, and he replied to Wang Feng and everyone: "Our chief soldier plans to wait for the Tartar to leave Zunhua with his front foot, and he will enter Zunhua with his back foot. In that case, then we will let the 'Tartars' stay in Zunhua for a few more days, and then let the general army enter Zunhua after we have sacked Zunhua..."
"Let the Tartars stay for a few more days, will the Tartars listen to us....don't forget, our Tiger and Leopard Army is the sworn enemy of the Tartars?" The puzzled expression on Wang Feng's face became even thicker, and he subconsciously asked.
At this time, even Zhou Shuyuan and Zhao Yun showed a thick puzzled expression on their faces.
Wei Zheng explained mysteriously: "You're right, the Tartars really won't listen to me. However, I didn't plan to let the real Tartars stay in Zunhua, otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to enter Zunhua lightly and carry out our sacking of Zunhua. ”
Zhou Shuyuan was the first to react, and asked Wei Zheng: "General, do you mean that we pretend to be Tartars ourselves and force the general army of Zunhua not to dare to send troops into Zunhua...."
"Yes, it's our own Tartar ......," Wei Zheng affirmed loudly.
"Our cavalry regiment of the Tiger and Leopard Army, plus two cavalry battalions, has a total of 1,600 cavalry. In the last battle against the Yellow Banner of the Tartars, we happened to capture more than 1,400 pieces of armor and supporting military flags of the Yellow Banner. ”
"Let's think about it, if we let the cavalry wear these armors, bring military flags, and sneak around our Ming official army garrison twice, what kind of result will be......"
A few days ago, in the battle against the Yellow Flag of the Tartars, Wang Feng, who had witnessed the Ming Dynasty official army, replied with a mocking face: "Needless to say, I will definitely be scared to shrink in the barracks as a turtle with a shrunken head." ”
"As court officials, it is impossible for them not to know about the yellow flag. And after the yellow flag we played showed off outside their barracks, they would definitely think that Huang Taiji was still in Zunhua City. The Later Jin Emperors are still in Zunhua City, and the main force of the Later Jin Army is also in Zunhua City without accident..."
"Therefore, I can say for sure that in the style of the officers and soldiers who are greedy for life and afraid of death, after seeing the yellow flag played by the cavalry regiment, they will definitely stand still and temporarily stop receiving Zunhua..."
Wei Zheng affirmed loudly: "This is the result I want... The cavalry regiment only needs to block the general army of Zunhua for three days, and we can get what we want in Zunhua. Then, withdraw from Zunhua and hand over Zunhua, which has become an empty city, to our chief soldier..."
"The whole operation is just four words, taking advantage of the chaos of the retreat and stationing of the two armies, fishing in troubled waters..."
After a short analysis, Zhou Shuyuan affirmed loudly: "Fishing in troubled waters, this method is good... Taking advantage of the fear of the officers and soldiers of the Tartars, coupled with the fact that we have just captured a large number of armor and military flags with yellow flags inlaid with the Tartars, the time for the officers and troops to enter and occupy Zunhua is delayed, and we have time to sack Zunhua... It's absolutely feasible and there is no danger in it......"
Having said this, Zhao Yun, the commander of the cavalry regiment, couldn't wait any longer, and asked with a hot face: "General, if we run into the official army patrol during the demonstration, what should we do, should we fight or avoid..."
Wei Zheng smiled and asked, "If it's a real Tartar, what will the Tartar do......
"Of course it's ......," Zhao Yun replied without thinking.
Then, he suddenly reacted and shouted expectantly: "General, I understand... I'm going to go back and prepare, and I'll try to set off tomorrow, so that the officers and soldiers won't even be able to get out of the barracks. (To be continued......)
