Chapter 350: Quietly Growing Ambition

The morning sun was pouring down from the sky.

Yuzhang was too guarded in the house, and Peng Hu stretched his waist.

Although the Yuzhang Port not far away has been screaming and killing, it has long been accustomed to living a fighting life on the water for a long time.

So take the time to get your body repaired and wait for the next changes.

Footsteps sounded behind me, and it didn't take much guessing to know who it was.

"Are the four of them still sleeping soundly?"

"Everything is safe as if you were at home"

"Brother Qing, there's news from there?"

"No definite news yet"

A man dressed in a scribe's garb stood behind him and slowly replied.

Peng Hu couldn't help frowning, with a faint hint of ominous expression.

"Didn't hear anything from last night?"

"Nope"

The man replied to Peng Hu.

Just then, a water thief hurried in.

"Report ......"

"Yuzhang Port Express"

The water thief shouted at the top of his voice.

Then he handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Peng Hu respectfully.

Peng Hu's heart couldn't help but sink, and he hurriedly snatched the bamboo slip in his hand, and then opened it.

His eyes wandered over it, and he couldn't help but gasp.

"My lord, what happened?"

"Yuzhang Port is in danger"

Peng Hu did not explain in detail, but let out a light sigh.

He handed the bamboo slip in his hand to the scribe, and his brow furrowed a little.

The scribe quickly looked at the message on the bamboo slip, and suddenly a tricky feeling arose.

"Yuzhang Harbor fought all night?"

"In the early morning, a large number of reinforcements suddenly appeared in the headquarters of the enemy general Gan Ning"

"This ......"

The scribe couldn't help but gasp.

Quickly think of a way to break the game in my mind, and continue to speak after a while.

"Although the handsome Zhang Jie is about to come to help, the mountain road is rugged and it is not easy to gather troops, and it will take at least three days"

"Now that Anhui County is attacking Yuzhang Port, it is obvious that it will not last so long, and the only way to do this is to immediately send troops from the city to help."

"It's just that there are only 3,000 troops in the city, and once the troops are sent to help, the rear will be empty. Moreover, the four wealthy families in the city have not succumbed, and may leave a lot of hidden dangers."

The scribe kept analyzing.

A hint of anger appeared in Peng Hu's eyes.

"According to the will of the military division, should we abandon Yuzhang Port and retreat to the city?"

"This is a must-have"

The scribe couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said to Peng Hu.

This is followed by a detailed explanation.

"Though this city has the advantage of walls, it is not to be trapped"

"Once Anhui County ordered Jia Nianbing to come to the city and play the banner of Yuzhang Taishou, the people in the city would inevitably fluctuate at that time. When the time comes, they will rely on the army outside the city, and maybe they will do the thing that seizes the door."

"Although we are not afraid, the army is close at hand, and we will not be able to guard against it"

"Therefore, we can only block them in Panyang Lake, relying on Yuzhang Port to isolate the two, so that we can rest assured."

Peng Hu couldn't help but hesitate, showing a hesitant look.

"Yuzhang County Government and Yuzhang Port have to be stationed, which is really a headache"

"The subordinates suggested that the lord and father-in-law lead 2,000 soldiers and horses to aid Yuzhang Port"

"Two thousand?"

"Only 2,000 soldiers and horses arriving at Yuzhang Port will have an effect"

"Is there something wrong with only a thousand soldiers and horses left in the city?"

"The private soldiers of the four surnamed Hao clans are just some first-order, even if there are more than a thousand, as long as you are careful, you should be fine. Moreover, the rats in the city are clearly investigated by their subordinates, and the lord can rest assured that he can fight, and this city should be foolproof."

"Rats?"

"The lord can know the life experience of Jia Nian in Anhui County"

"It is said that this person is a person from the Jia family in Wan County, Lujiang County"

Since the lord knows his identity, he must also know that the Jia family in Anhui County is the richest family in Yangzhou in the past, although it has been tragically changed, and the door is almost completely destroyed. But Jia still left a lot of things, such as the complicated relationship with the major families in Yangzhou."

Peng Hu suddenly came to his senses.

"Does it also include Yuzhang County?"

"Exactly"

Hearing the reply, Peng Hu gasped.

The mind thought quickly, and then a picture came to mind. If he led the army to fight in the front, and the Yuzhang County Government behind it changed hands again, the two armies were only afraid that the big thing would go by then.

"This Jia Nian sent someone to Yuzhang?"

"Not only come, but in the city"

"Why don't you just arrest him?"

"Why did the lord arrest him? Isn't this a godsend opportunity to collect the savings of the four wealthy families? ”

The scribe asked Peng Hu rhetorically.

Peng Hu was stunned for a moment, obviously not reacting.

"They are seeking us, why can't we seek their savings?"

"Why was Jia Nian able to recruit more than 10,000 troops in a short period of time? One is the refugees, and the other is Jia's savings."

"Now that Hao Shuai has Yuzhang County, there is no shortage of population, as long as the savings of these four wealthy families are plundered, wouldn't it be easy to recruit more than 10,000 soldiers and horses? It's just that in order to better occupy Yuzhang, I endured it in every possible way without excuses. But if they send troops to attack, we only need to set up an ambush, at that time, the private soldiers of the four wealthy families were all killed in battle, and their countless years of wealth have not all been in the hands of the heroes? ”

Hearing these words, Peng Hu's breathing became rapid.

Thinking of the scene of holding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the whole heart is even hotter.

Although the recruited soldiers and horses are only 1st rank, they can't stand the huge number, and the number of battles is increasing. These first-order soldiers, why can't they be trained into an elite soldier.

Moreover, even if they can't train into elite soldiers, there are twenty-one county towns that can be garrisoned.

At that time, as long as these soldiers and horses were stationed in the county seat, who would dare to disobey their orders in this huge Yuzhang County.

"The military advisor's plan is very good, I don't know how sure you are"

"The subordinates are not talented, and they are five or six points sure"

"Enough"

Peng Hu made this decision immediately.

This is a one-and-done method, and with the character of a military advisor, you can say six points, which can also be called nine out of ten.

"Someone Coming"

"In"

Several water thieves guarding the front shouted in unison.

A sense of pride rose in Peng Hu's heart.

"Pass the order, gather 2,000 soldiers and horses, and gallop with this commander to aid Yuzhang Port"

"No"

Several of the thieves replied, and then strode away.

Looking at the departing backs of these water thieves, Peng Hu looked at the scribes.

"The safety of the 1,000 soldiers and horses in the city and our others is entrusted to the military advisor."

"Subordinates will not live up to the trust of the Lord"

The scribe assured Peng Hu.

There was a faint look of anticipation in my heart.

If the lord can really completely hold Yuzhang County in his hands, then the strength under his command will inevitably skyrocket.

At that time, the status in the Shanyue Alliance would naturally rise.

Once they have a high status, the soldiers and horses of the Shanyue clan are not without the feasibility of being under their command.

When the time comes, with Yuzhang in hand and tens of thousands of elite soldiers backed by Shanyue, it can easily sweep the Jiangnan separatist side.
