Chapter 152: Heavenly Conscience

"Zhuge Juncheng, I don't know what you think about this?"

When the generals heard this, they scoffed, this Zhuge Lao'er is a civil official, what can he think? Does his opinion matter? A corrupt Confucian, how can we talk about militaristic affairs.

But who knows that our Zhuge Juncheng does have something to say:

"Junjun, the Taishan thieves rushed to Mu County in the middle of the night, and they must be saved. Otherwise, as soon as Mu County is broken, our Mu County, Ying County, and Fenggao triangle arrays on the Laiwu Valley will be broken. When the time comes, the enemy will occupy Mu County, and there will be a mountain pass in and out of Yishan, and it will be up to him to advance and retreat. Therefore this soldier must be sent."

The thief Cao Chang Pang Zun didn't expect this Zhuge Lao'er to get to the point, and this Zhuge Jue also discovered the key points of Mu County. If Mu County is in the hands of the imperial court, then these Taishan thieves who go out of the mountain will be trapped and die in this triangle city defense no matter how they run. And once Mu County falls into the hands of thieves, they can use it as a stronghold to attack as much as they want, and retreat as much as they want. In other words, the thieves occupied Mu County and took the initiative in the war.

Pang Zun has always heard that this Zhuge Jue is the kind of rotten who talks about benevolence and morality and can't do anything in his hands, but now he looks at it, at least he still has this knowledge. Pang Zun naturally supported sending troops, so after Zhuge Jue finished speaking, he immediately echoed:

"Jun Cheng is very right, not only that, the Taishan thief originally attacked Fenggao with a false shot, but it was actually intended for Mu County. He went to attack at night in the middle of the night, which is a bit of wisdom, but they would not have expected that we would not sit in the city after receiving this news, but would also send troops to pursue."

At this moment, the more Pang Zun said, the more he felt that his thinking was clear:

"Jun Jun, you think, the Taishan thieves rushed in the middle of the night, and if they beat the city, it would also be the most lax time, and we would send troops to attack at this moment, go straight to the city, and break the thieves in one fell swoop. And if we are lucky, the night attack of the Taishan thieves did not defeat Mu County, and the soldiers were under the city, then it would be better, we rushed to Mu County, echoing the city before and after, and the thieves must be destroyed. So no matter what, send troops to rescue Mu County at this moment, a good strategy."

Liu Yin, the battalion general on the side, saw that this Pang Zun was getting better and better, for fear that Taishou would be persuaded, so he hurriedly interjected:

"Pang Jun really turned his hands into clouds and covered his hands for rain, I still remember that day Pang Jun also said that he would stick to Fenggao and order the Win County soldiers to attack the tail of Mount Tai? It's only been a day, and it's changed?"

Pang Zun despised this fool and sneered:

"Could it be that Liu Ying will not know this time and that time? To make the Taishan thief still attack Fenggao, a certain strategy of yesterday can naturally be used. But now that the Tarzan thief has changed, then we will naturally change as well. Could it be that the truth of carving a boat to ask for a sword still needs to be told to General Liu Ying?"

Liu Yin was stunned:

"What kind of sword? A certain family has a sword, and he wants to carve a boat to do something."

As soon as these words came out, the room burst into laughter. This Liu Yin is really a reckless man, he doesn't know anything, he is nothing.

Liu Yin also immediately realized that his words might have made a fool of himself, his whole face turned red, and he slapped the desk and got up and left.

These high-ranking people are too bullying. It's a fart fight, don't want Naigong to send a soldier.

Seeing that Liu Yin was really annoyed, Zhang Jugang, who was sitting at the head of the hall, hurriedly gave the county lieutenant Li Xiang a look and motioned him to stop Liu Yin.

Li Xiang understood, got up busily, dragged Liu Yin, and laughed:

"Lao Liu, don't be like Xiao Pang. You sit down first, sit down first, sit down and listen to what our Taishou has to say." ….

Liu Yin actually didn't dare to leave in his heart, not to mention brushing his sleeves in front of a 2,000-stone person, just saying that Zhang Ju was still holding the food and salary of the whole camp in his hand, he didn't dare to really tear his face with Zhang Ju.

So when he saw Li Xiang holding him, he also sat down, but he was also clever, and immediately said to Zhang Ju:

"Jun Jun, you know that you have seen thousands of miles, and at this time, I still want you to come out and get a word of accuracy. No matter what the county prince wants, we will support it. It's this military salary, the jun still bothered a lot, it's not that I don't know the general situation, but the brothers in the camp are really anxious, and the family is waiting for Su to get out of the pot."

Seeing Liu Yin's eyes red as he spoke, for fear that he would give him a crying court scene, Zhang Ju hurriedly waved his hand to stop his following words, and then said righteously:

"As a county herdsman, the country trusts me and entrusts me with hundreds of thousands of Taishan. This county is a broken body, and it is also necessary to protect the peace of Mount Tai. So Mu County, must be saved, while

And save it now, save it now, save it now.

As for the food and salary that Lao Liu said, you also have to understand the difficulties in the county, during this period of time, the county suffered a disaster, and there was no money and food. So Lao Liu, when you go back, you will have a good talk with the battalion soldiers, and say that you will slow down again, and if you level the Taishan thieves, let's reward them together. Lao Liu, if you go back and work hard, you must stimulate the conscience of the generals in the whole battalion, and if you suffer more, I will bear the infamy. And thou shalt tell the battalion soldiers, 'This is what the Taishou said.'"

Hearing that Zhang Ju was eating this high-sounding set again, and was still prevaricating and not paying, Liu Yin secretly hated:

"All day long, it is said that it is necessary to stimulate the conscience of heaven and encourage the loyalty of the generals of the whole battalion, I think, the most unconscionable and unloyal is your gang of ribbons. Loyalty, loyalty, what's the use of just talking about loyalty? Can you fill your stomach?"

But Liu was dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and finally he could only be speechless.

In this way, Zhang Ju made the final decision, and the thief Cao Pang Zun and the battalion general Liu Yin were generals, leading a total of 2,000 troops, and the army was drawn to aid Mu County on the same day. In addition, Zhang Ju sent a feather to the county order, ordering him to raise 1,000 troops to attack Mu County from the right road.

Originally, there were 1,000 soldiers and 500 battalions in Fenggao City. Later, the Taishan thieves came out of the mountain, and Zhang Ju recruited 2,000 troops in the city, and 3,000 and a half soldiers.

This is the case with the system of this dynasty. Since Guangwu practiced soft government and lived with the people's livelihood, he dismissed the national soldiers of the county in the world. For example, in the seventh year of the establishment of the military, "the world's light chariots, knights, timber officers, buildings and ships, and military officials were all returned to the people, but they were more practiced as before", and the military service since the previous generation was abolished.

But soon during the Ming Dynasty, the state and county soldiers were restored. Because there were no soldiers in the county before, once something happened, they were often caught off guard, and only when the matter was close to the end did they increase their troops and send the central army to the battle. This response was not timely, and secondly, most of the soldiers were recruited, and it was not a climate. So gradually, the local county became its own military characteristic. On weekdays, a small number of county pawns and county pawns maintain the locality. Once something happens, use these as the backbone to recruit strong and brave soldiers. Either they were recruited on the basis of money and food, or they were exempted from forced labor.

This kind of military system that combines regular workers and temporary workers is also a characteristic of this dynasty.

This time, Pang Zun and Liu Yin commanded 2,000 soldiers, of which 500 were former county soldiers and 1,000 were newly recruited soldiers in the city. As for the original 500 elite battalion soldiers and the old county soldiers 500, with the newly recruited 500 soldiers, they were all left in Fenggao City by Zhang Ju. ….

Zhang Ju is really a shrewd 2,000 stone to the bone, and this is how he can still distinguish priorities. Compared with Yuanmu County, he knows very well that Fenggao's safety is the top priority. Mu County was lost, and he was reprimanded by the above, and the situation of raging the state and county with thieves and soldiers would generally make him guilty and make meritorious contributions. But if Feng Gao loses it, not only will his career be over, but his life will also be lost. Therefore, Zhang Ju handed over the most elite veterans in the county to the county lieutenant Li Xiang, and protecting Fenggao is the top priority.

As for whether this will thin out the reinforcements that aid Mu County, didn't I see him and ordered Ying County to send troops to rescue? There were already 2,000 soldiers, and another 1,000 soldiers, a total of 3,000 soldiers, how could it be enough.

On the same day, Fenggao reinforcements, who had only three days' rations, went out of the city. They didn't know that in front of them, Guan Yu's ambush soldiers were waiting for them.

Guan Yu's three divisions have been swimming to this ambush point, a small depression, since they received Zhang Chong's military order last night.

This place is located in the throat of Mu County, Ying County, Fenggao three cities, in the south of it is the prominent hilly area of Yishan Mountain protruding from Laiwu Valley, the mountain is steep, the people are inaccessible, the water source is far away, it can be said that it is a natural left barrier. Then in the middle is the Mu Wen water, which can go straight to Mu County. From here, you can go north for eight miles to Yingmushui, and then you can go directly to Yingxian County. Then forty miles to the west of him was Fenggao. It can be said that if Fenggao wants to save Mu County and take the official road between the two places, this place is the most ideal ambush place.

There was a dock wall here in the small depression, which had been pulled out by Guan Yu in the morning, and then Chen Huanbu was left to garrison with Qu generals Zhao Jian and Duan Xiu, responsible for guarding the north of the road.

Guan Yu instructed Chen Huan to always watch the wolf smoke on the high ground on the southern slope. Once three wolf smoke rises from the wall, Chen Huan will attack the rear of Feng Gao's soldiers with the whole army and cut off the road for Feng Gao's soldiers to return to the west.

Later, on the host road of the small depression, Guan Yu ordered Ding Sheng to lead Jinquan and Zhao Rong Erqu to also have 400 people, and the tree fence was erected, directly blocking the Fenggao soldiers to aid Mu County in the east.

Guan Yu gave Ding Sheng an order:

"Hold on to the barracks, and without orders, you are not allowed to retreat under any circumstances

。」

Ding Sheng obviously knew what a difficult task Guan Yu had given him. He took 400 soldiers to stand on the road like this, and that person was not allowed to attack him to death? He expected that there would be no shortage of reinforcements from the high direction, and he would have to rely on him to defend it with 400 troops when the time came. Shou is able to keep, but why let him do this drudgery. On his side, he just refused on the grounds that he had just gone through a hard battle yesterday and was about to be repaired.

Over there, Guan Yu said to Ding Sheng:

"This battle is successful, and you will be the first to take credit."

As soon as these words came out, Ding Sheng showed his face. What else to say, Shou!

Finally, on several small slopes two miles south of the dock wall of the small depression, Guan Yuzi and 400 soldiers of Deng Chong and Shi Lang under Wang Zhang were used as reserves.

Guan Yu dispatched it like this, using Ding Sheng's troops to snipe the enemy on the road and go east. When the enemy soldiers were attacking the wall, he raised three wolf smoke and asked Chen Huan to intercept the enemy's rear road. In the end, he commanded the whole army to press and launch a general attack on the enemy's center.

And now, it's time for Feng Gaobing to throw himself into the net.

After Guan Yu was prepared here, the whole army stopped repairing. But until noon, there was no movement on the road. Just when Guan Yu was about to release the horse sentry ride again, a burst of exclamations came from behind, Guan Yu hurriedly turned around, and he was shocked at this look.

I saw that on the Muwen water two miles behind me, the boats were connected, carrying troops and supporting the curtain, and they went down the river.

It's too bad now, I didn't count that the Fenggao reinforcements would take the waterway.

Please call me Mr. Chen
