Chapter 241: On the eve of the decisive battle
"Humph! I hope you will remember your words today, and wait for the other nine major families to retaliate in the future, and don't ask the Zhao family for support. ”
"I'll remember!" Lin Yuan's expression was extremely serious, "Please also go back and tell me, just say that the Ten Guys family has enslaved Huaxia for thousands of years, and in this unparalleled world, it should also end!" ”
Zhao Meiyu glanced at Lin Yuan coldly, did not speak again, but left the hall of the City Lord's Mansion directly.
Lin Yuan watched this person leave like this, and his eyes gradually became solemn.
"Lord, what should we do now?" Shan Xiongfei was a little worried and hurriedly asked.
If the ten major families really retaliate, I'm afraid no one can afford it.
Lin Yuan waved his hand and said, "Now is not the time to think about this, go and summon all the generals to gather here!" ”
"Yes!" Shan Xiongfei received the order, immediately walked out of the city lord's mansion, and sounded the drum outside the mansion gate.
Knock knock!
As the drums were beaten, all the generals in the city, from the battalion commanders to the battalion commanders, all rushed to the lord's mansion to report.
Soon, 5 deputy battalion commanders and 20 battalion commanders gathered together.
Deputy battalion commanders, including Zhao Yun, deputy commander of the cavalry battalion, Zhu You, deputy commander of the first battalion of the Nanyang Infantry, Zang Gong, deputy commander of the second battalion of the Nanyang infantry, Geng Chun, deputy commander of the third battalion of the Nanyang infantry, Ma Wu, deputy commander of the fourth battalion of the Nanyang infantry, and Gai Yan, deputy commander of the fifth battalion of the Nanyang infantry.
After lobbying and surrendering, all five of Zhu You chose to surrender.
They have not been reused in the Liu family's army, and they have always acted as the bodyguards of the Liu family's children, and they don't even have freedom, let alone military power.
However, since ancient times, military generals have a heart to make contributions.
They were not reused in the Liu family, and they didn't have much sense of belonging to the Liu family, so under Lin Yuan's recruitment, they decisively chose to surrender.
After Lin Yuan obtained the return of the five people, he appointed the five of them on the spot and served as the deputy commander of the Nanyang Infantry Battalion.
[Name]: Zhu You (King Level)
[Commander]: 90 [Force]: 88 [Intelligence]: 78 [Politics]: 80 [Charisma]: 80

[Name]: Zang Gong (royal level)

[Name]: Gai Yan (King Rank)
[Commander]: 85 [Force]: 93 [Intelligence]: 80 [Politics]: 60 [Charisma]: 80
……
Five generals, all king-level generals.
Except for Geng Chun, who is a wise general with high intelligence and low martial arts, the other four are all fierce generals with high martial arts and high command.
With the help of these five people, it is equivalent to Lin Yuan's complete control of 100,000 Nanyang infantry.
The only pity is that Feng Yi, who ranked seventh, and Cen Peng, who ranked sixth, refused to surrender.
If these two people are demoted, Lin Yuan will be equal to two more commander-level generals.
"Summoning you here today, Nanyang City has fallen into a predicament and is about to be surrounded by the Liu family's 1.5 million army, what good plan do you have?"
General Zhu You took the lead and said: "My lord, although the 1.5 million army led by the Liu family is large, there are only 300,000 elite soldiers with combat effectiveness, and our side has 100,000 elite soldiers and 30,000 elite cavalry, relying on the tall walls of Nanyang City, which is enough to defend it." ”
Lin Yuan shook his head and said: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, when I captured Nanyang City, the strength was only 60,000, and the defenders of Nanyang City had more than 100,000 elite soldiers, wasn't it also captured by me, and now the enemy's strength is as much as 1.5 million, how dare you boast about Haikou and think that we will definitely be able to hold it?" ”
When Zhu You heard this, he immediately knelt down and explained, "The lord is different from the children of the Liu family, first, the lord is stronger, can gather morale, and has two fierce generals with ten thousand enemies, so he can capture Nanyang City in one fell swoop; Compared with you, the children of the Liu family are all wine bags and rice bags, they are in their respective cities, they do nonsense, drink all day for fun, do not know the art of war, and they can't control the million-strong army at all. ”
"Zhu You is right." As soon as Zhu You's words fell, Geng Chun on the side also stood up, "The five of us have all seen the conduct of these children of the Liu family with our own eyes, and they are no different from scum. ”
"Nanyang Zhucheng, all the armies, by their tossed complaints, has long been looking forward to the Ming Lord, if the lord wants to recover Nanyang, the first thing to subdue the people, can send messengers, to the cities and armies to lobby, I believe that many people with lofty ideals are willing to serve the lord, when the time comes to fight against the city of Nanyang, kill the children of the Liu family by surprise."
Lin Yuan glanced at Geng Chun deeply, and his mind was a little shaken.
He immediately asked: "Among the millions of people in Nanyang, which ones are the people with lofty ideals in your mouth?" ”
Geng Zhi immediately took out a silk silk from his arms and handed it to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan opened it and found that it was densely written with names, and the ink was dry, as if it had been written for a long time.
He suddenly had some doubts that if he didn't come to attack Nanyang, this group of Nanyang generals would also launch a rebellion.
There are hundreds of names on the silk silk, and each of them has a detailed address and position.
Geng Chunneng dedicated this thing to Lin Yuan, firstly, to show loyalty to Lin Yuan, and secondly, to invite merit.
"Good!" Lin Yuan held the silk and nodded, "This matter will be left to you, you can quickly send your cronies to contact these people, and the conditions are not too much, you can agree." If you do this, I will give you the first credit! ”
"Thank you for your trust!" Geng Chun took the silk silk and looked a little excited.
He received the task and quickly left the City Lord's Mansion.
The four people in Zang Gong were all envious.
Zhu You said suddenly: "Nanyang City is hilly on the east and west sides, not suitable for attacking the city, the enemy comes to besiege the city and attack, it must come from the north and south directions, and in the north of Nanyang City, there is only one Fangcheng Pass, the last general asks for orders, before the enemy army has anything, take the Fangcheng Pass first!" ”
Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment and said: "Fangcheng Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are 50,000 elite soldiers hidden in the pass, it is impossible to take them in a short time, only by luring them to besiege Nanyang City, can they be defeated in one fell swoop!" ”
Seeing this, Zhu You wanted to speak again.
Lin Yuan: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
Zhu You: "Lord, you captured Liu Wu and Liu Zhengfeng alive, just use them to coerce the guards of Fangcheng Pass to surrender after passing the pass, the guards of Fangcheng Pass are the descendants of the Liu family, and they dare not disobey the orders of Liu Wu and Liu Zhengfeng." ”
"I see." Lin Yuan nodded, "Since this is the case, then you will lead the infantry battalion under your command to take Liu Wu north, disguise the army of the Liu family in the city, and capture the city pass." ”
"My lord, the last general is against it!" As soon as Lin Yuan's words fell, Zhao Yun stood up.
"The last general is also against it!" Shan Xiongfei agrees.
Zhao Yun said: "Handing over Liu Wu to Zhu You is equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain, they will definitely betray the lord and attack Fangcheng Pass, or the last general will personally lead the troops." ”
"Lord, the last general has already returned to the lord, how can there be two hearts!" Zhu You's face turned pale with fright, and he fell directly to the ground, crying bitterly.
Lin Yuan was silent, and his gaze swept over Gai Yan and several other generals who returned to the Shun.
Gai Yan and the others were so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads and held their breath.
Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze and said with a smile: "Okay, General Zhu, get up!" ”
"Since you have taken refuge in me, I will use people without doubt. This time, the task of pulling out the city pass will be handed over to you, and Liu Wu will also be handed over to you! ”
Zhu You raised his head, his face was full of tears, his eyes were full of emotion, and he bowed heavily to Lin Yuan.
"Thank you for your trust!"
Gai Yan and other generals were also obviously relieved.
Lin Yuan continued: "Zhu You, you go down first to prepare, and after the preparations are completed, this king will personally send you out of the city!" ”
"Thank you, my lord!" Zhu You wiped away his tears, immediately exited the hall, turned around and walked out of the City Lord's Mansion.
