Chen De took the cork whip, held both ends in his hands, and gently forced, making an arc, and there was only the mountains and rivers in front of him in his mind. He pursed his lips tightly, bowed slightly towards the East Palace, waved the wooden whip in his hand, pointed at the location of Liudian Town, cleared his throat and said: "There is a mountain pass here, if Ruyang finds foreign thieves, most of them will come out from here." ”

Zhu Cihong nodded, no one in this regard can compare with the local generals who are familiar with geography, since he looks like he is swearing, he should also be confident.

The East Palace guard battalion focused on Lushan and Dengfeng, and the Liukou appeared directly in Ruyang, which was really surprising. However, because of the lack of troops, Zhu Cihong relied on the city for defense in accordance with the tradition of war, and there was no danger of being taken advantage of. And since the thief went to Ruyang, his intention was very clear.

"If the Liukou is to attack the Qin Governor's rear army, then he should come out of Lushan to fight Baofeng." Chen Dedao: "Now that you come out of Ruyang, you can only fight two places: Ruzhou and Baisha. Seeing that Zhu Cihong was silent, he explained: "Your Highness doesn't know, there are many bandits and gangsters in the Diao people here, and the news of our requisition and dispatch of grain by the people will definitely not be concealed from the thieves." ”

Zhu Cihong had to sigh: "The people's hearts are like this, what can be done?" ”

"Your Highness, this is only a small number of people who are perverse by nature, disobedient to education, and bewitched by thieves, and the vast majority of the people are still loyal to the royal family." Chen De hurriedly explained. Although he was young, he knew that when he talked about Diao Min, it would be a dereliction of duty on the part of the local pastoral officials in the ears of the emperor. Although his father Chen Yongfu is the general soldier of a province, he is not the warlords of Liaozhen and Zuozhen, who are good at dictatorship, where can he be bullied by civilian officials.

Zhu Cihong raised his hand slightly: "Go on." ”

"If you come from the middle of the road, you must be in the essence of not much. Unless there is an internal response, even if they capture Ruzhou, they will lose the strength to fight again, and they will be trapped in passivity. Chen Dedao: "So the surprise attack on Baisha is the best choice." The last general thought that when he sent troops to stick to Baisha and consume his sharp energy, he would naturally return in vain. ”

Zhu Cihong looked at the sand table. After a while, he said: "Actually, you are worried that the officers and soldiers will not be able to fight in the field." ”

Chen De did not speak.

At first, the officers and soldiers fought field battles with the thieves, because only the main elite of the rogues had received military training, and the others were homeless and unarmed! Who do you not hit them? However, after the war in the past few years, the Liukou also had garrisons, armor soldiers, and drills, and their field combat capabilities have become stronger and stronger, and they have already defeated the officers and soldiers. Now even if it is Zuo Liangyu, he will not easily fight in the wild when he encounters a large stream of rogues.

This army of thieves from the middle of the road is definitely not something that fifty of his own families can fight against. As for the East Palace, although it claims to have more than 10,000 elite soldiers, it is obvious that they have never been on the battlefield, in case it will collapse at the touch of a button, wouldn't it harm others and themselves?

"If you don't dare to meet the enemy, the thief will inevitably become more and more powerful." Zhu Cihong said.

"Your Highness, the art of war: avoid its edge, hit its lazy return." Chen De originally didn't like to read, and was forced by his father to remember a few words of the art of war. At that moment, he searched his intestines and scraped his stomach and vomited: "They are bent on attacking, let's consume them first." ”

Zhu Cihong looked at Xiao Mo.

"Your Highness." Xiao Mo went out of the class and said, "I think that this battle should be attacked rather than defended. ”

Chen De curiously looked at the two-bar three-star embroidered on Xiao Mo's shoulder. He had seen other soldiers and officers have this mark on their shoulders, and the number of bars and stars varies, most of which are secret words and codes in the army to indicate class.

Zhu Cihong nodded, Xiao Mo's enterprising consciousness made him feel like he had chosen the right person.

Xiao Mo paused slightly. Let others remember their arguments first, and then he said: "First, the enemy army is coming from afar, and our army is waiting for work, and we should quickly destroy its prestige. It is not advisable to wait for it to accumulate sharp energy. Second, our army is a guest army, but the enemy army has many local people as their eyes and ears, and the strategy of defending is only to give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of. It is better to fight hard with the momentum of thunder, even if the enemy army has the movement of our army, it can only engage in battle. ”

"Most of the people who dare to fight are fierce generals," Chen De casually praised Xiao Mo first, "It's just that fierce generals also need to have elite soldiers." ”

"My East Palace guard battalion three exercises a day, one reading and two lectures, the whole army is practicing hard to kill the enemy, and the inner cultivation is heroic and righteous, although the first battle, it is full of fighting spirit, and it can be a battle!" Xiao Mo said in a loud voice: "I humbly ask Your Highness to order our department to intercept this group of thieves!" If you don't do your best, you are willing to be court-martialed. ”

Chen De felt a chill in his heart, and said secretly: What other general dares to say anything about being a military lawyer now? Who doesn't beg to be guilty of meritorious service? If you really can't win the war, you have to be a military lawyer, I'm afraid that you will kill more generals on your side than on the battlefield.

Zhu Cihong knew that the guard battalion of the East Palace did not have the military law of beheading if defeated.

In this way, it is just to show the will of the guards of the East Palace to fight.

"Since you want to fight, you must play with majesty and momentum." Zhu Cihong said: "The two divisions of the Central Military Department should also be used well and beaten hard." ”

"Yes!" Xiao Mo grew up and gave a military salute.

"Your Highness, the soldiers of the Central Military Department have been given to the Right Military Department, so what about your safety?" Tian Cunshan also bears the title of chief instructor, and has always followed Zhu Cihong's side, not daring to say much. He had heard the prince say that he would give the two divisions of the Central Military Department to Xiao Mo for the first-line defense of Baisha and Ruyang, and he was already uneasy and couldn't sleep for several nights. Now that the war is imminent, the prince still hasn't taken back those two divisions to defend Ruzhou, how can this be good?

"The Central Military Department also has a drum and bugle corps and an honor guard directly under the Central Military Department, all of which can be used as façade." Zhu Cihong took the opportunity to look at the tannins: "Tannin, your training department should strengthen the training of auxiliary soldiers, even if you can't go out of the city to face the battle, you have to understand the order and go in and out with the team." ”

"Yes!" Tannin straightened his chest and gave a military salute.

"Tomorrow, the military law pickets led by Wu Changchun will arrive, and we will start recruiting troops on the spot." Zhu Cihong glanced at the current group of officers: "As long as our army does not commit any offences in the autumn, and the people love me but not the enemy, they will definitely be able to take root and sprout here, and the more they fight, the stronger they will be!" I, the Zhu family, have been carrying in Fengtian for 270 years, how can a few clowns who jump off the beam be able to shake it? As long as the officials fight bravely to kill the enemy, they will definitely be able to go down in history and open a foundation! ”

"Yes!" The ministers, the lieutenants of the departments and bureaus saluted one after another, knowing that the first meeting of the pre-war deployment for the battle of Ruyang had ended.

The martial ministers came out of the war room to discuss a few words with each other, and expressed their opinions to Xiao Mo, asking for the position of the main attacker. Now that Donggong has not fought a battle, it is impossible to say who this main attacker is, so he can only watch the weekday training. However, in training, everyone is also indistinguishable, and they have each other's strengths and weaknesses, which makes Xiao Mo really difficult to decide.

After a while, Tian Cunshan, the chief training officer, came out of the inner hall, holding a piece of yellow and clear silk paper in his hand, and said, "The order has arrived!" Xiao Mo took the order! ”

"Humble Xiao Mo took the order." Xiao Mo was dressed in armor and only gave a half-kneeling military salute.

"The crown prince's order: Order the commander of the left military department of the guard battalion of the East Palace, the colonel, Xiao Mo is fully responsible for the defense and battle of Ruyang Baisha, and where his duties are, he has the right to act cheaply. This order! ”

"Obedience!" Xiao Mo stepped forward to take the order with both hands, and when he turned around and saw that no one had dispersed, he announced on the spot: "At noon today, the commanders of each army held a military meeting at the guard battalion officer's office to assign the defense areas and combat tasks of each division and bureau. ”

Wang Mafu felt like a cat scratching in his heart, and he couldn't wait for Xiao Mo to have a live meeting, where could he wait for noon. He secretly looked at Xiao Tugeng, the general manager of the Firearms Bureau of the Central Military Department, who was frowning, looking bitter and hateful. Wang Mafu knew that this was because the rain was damp, and the gunpowder and fire rope were too damp, and although they were wrapped in oiled paper, a large number of them still failed.

Even more tragic, unless it is visibly damp, it is difficult to tell by sight. If the guns don't sound on the battlefield and the cannons don't explode, I'm afraid it will be useless for the Firearms Bureau to rise to the status of the Shenji Battalion. Isn't there a general from Henan who came to teach bows and arrows? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is afraid that he also wants to give up the Firearms Bureau.

I don't know why, Wang Mafu felt a little relieved in his heart, as if he had a cushion. He knew that someone in his game was not convinced by his promotion to Bai Zong, and said strange things behind his back - saying that he just ran fast to add points, and was he really an escaping goods on the battlefield? There is this kind of voice circulating in the camp, which makes Wang Mafu hold back his strength and want to fight hard, so that people can see that he is not just able to run!

Now it's finally time to clear your name! (To be continued......)
