Chapter 154: Missteps

Wu Yong is useful, he alone can be an official, and he is the talent that Zhang Chong is currently in short supply.

Zhang Chong's talents are the most concentrated in the fighting talent, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the amount of fighting is not an exaggeration. All because the people of Taishan were elite and resolute, and then Zhang Chong further extracted from it, and finally different from other bandits and thieves in the inner county, although they also took advantage of the chaos to gather in the mountains, but they are all people who survive, they can not fight without fighting, and they can avoid it. And the Taishan thieves under Zhang Chong, since the establishment of the army, have fought hard for many years and have not been trained. It can be said that this world is also part of the two armies of the north and the south, and the border soldiers of the secluded and cool can win, and the others are less meaningful.

Then Zhang Chong, who is planning to praise the painting, also has the talent, and the first one is He Kui. In Zhang Chong's view, this gentleman is indeed a great talent, able to seek social success, and is a compound talent of external law and internal Confucianism. And what he learned was the essence of Confucian benevolence, which can be described as Zhang Chong's like-minded person who can help him.

Then there is Wu Guan, the mastermind of Qin Feng, Lao Wu is experienced and familiar with the people and geography near Mount Tai, but unfortunately he is old and frail, and his energy is not good, so he can't praise the painting with the army, and now he is assisting the little father to act in the holy treasury.

In the end, it is full. Strictly speaking, Du Man is not the above type, but all the people above are more than Shang Du Man's effect on Zhang Chong, and for Zhang Chong, Du Man is his second leg. The Taishan Army focused on the military at this time, so almost all of Zhang Chong's energy was in the military, but for a mature force, the military alone was just one leg. One leg can't walk, only with the addition of internal affairs, the Taishan army can be regarded as having two legs. And Du Man was leaned on by Zhang Chong as the most important cornerstone of this piece. It's not that Du Man's talent surpasses He Kui, but because Du Man is the founder of the family, he has more prestige and can rest assured.

Of course, Duman's own intelligence is far beyond his peers, otherwise he would not have been able to graduate from the Fushi Monastery in three years. But in the end, the above talents are all outside the Han court system, and they have not experienced the power operation of the Han family. And these are called Wu Yong, who is well versed, which fills the gap here for the Taishan army.

So when Zhang Chong saw Wu Yong so frightened, he comforted him and sat down, and also asked what he could teach.

Wu Yong said tentatively:

"Does the general plan to use Mu County as a base or do he plan to loot and leave?"

Zhang Chong said:

"What do you say based on Mu County, and you can leave after raising money and food."

Wu said boldly:

"If it is the former, the servant dares to suggest that the general can block the powerful in this county, return what he takes, and appease the four people. You can also set up a gentleman's battalion and recruit those powerful sons into the army as hostages. In this way, there are generals and soldiers stationed there, and then there are these heroes and powerful people in the city. Mu County can be determined."

After saying this, Wu Yong quietly glanced at Zhang Chong, and when he saw that he did not react, he was overjoyed, so he continued:

"If the latter is the case, the general can use the corn in the city to coerce the nearby disaster victims, and become a sweeping trend. When they go to one place, they will break one land, and then take all the money and food from this place, and those who have no corn to eat will only be coerced. In an instant, 100,000 troops were gathered. When the time comes, it will be unknown if the East will be alone."

As soon as Wu finished speaking, He Kui, who was sitting next to Zhang Chong, slapped and reprimanded: ....

"What a dog, he wants to speak against me. What kind of plan are you dedicating, you obviously want our Taishan army to die."

He Kui was angry, Wu Yong immediately panicked, and suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed:

"How dare a servant, how dare you."

Zhang Chong smiled and waved his hand to let He Kui calm down for a while, of course he knew what Wu Yong was thinking.

Do you say that Wu Yong's two strategies are good? Of course, because historically these are the two typical lines of rebellion. The former is a warlord model, fighting a place, making peace with the big people here, managing the troops by themselves, and managing the people with great power. The advantage of this is that you can establish yourself in the local area right away. For example, in later generations, the Hu people entered the Han land, and this model was used.

And the latter is the Rogue mode. It is to disrupt the world and make it impossible for everyone to produce with peace of mind. In order to survive, others can only continue to follow you. Then the team snowballed bigger and bigger. There are the Red Eyebrow Army in the close, and there is the Yellow Nest in the back, all of which take this route.

But this Wu is bad at these two strategies, for Zhang Chong

It's all a dead end.

There is no great chaos in the world, if Zhang Chong is based on Mu County, then the nearby Han Court soldiers and horses will flock to it. Fighting the world with one place will die sooner or later. And if Zhang Chong listened to Wu's second strategy and moved to sweep the victims, it would indeed be able to storm the army, but it would almost be a dead end for the king. For Zhang Chong, 100,000 rabbles are not as effective as the 2,000 elite soldiers he has in his hands now.

The appearance of Wu Yong also made Zhang Chong re-realize the pros and cons of the current talent refuge. There are those who will destroy your inheritance under the guise of giving you advice. This is still the beginning, and when the power becomes greater in the future, there will be more and more poisonous schemes of this kind of two-hearted person, and these can only be guarded against by him.

But Zhang Chong did not intend to punish Wu Yong. Let's not say that Ren Wu Yong is just a plan, and there is no actual disorderly behavior, let's just say that a county with such a Hanting system has already had the role of a horse bone in Qianjin City. Before this Wu Yong was squeezed clean, Zhang Chong would not kill him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Conflict thought about it, is this Wu Yong already calculated this point, knowing that he will not die no matter what.

He offered two poisonous strategies, if Taishan Qukui didn't know and couldn't see through it, it would definitely be reused. If Taishan Qukui has insight and sees through it, then he will be more aware of the role of public opinion in a county, and he still can't die.

Zhang Chong looked at Wu Yong, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, wondering if he was thinking too much. But no matter what, this Wu still has to be used. Let him follow He Kui to deal with the general affairs of Mu County first, first observe his behavior, and then look at his use.

Then Zhang Chong arranged for these five talents to live in the left wing of the county temple, and they could be hired according to the arrangement tomorrow. After that, Zhang Chong and He Kui and a cadre of military officials dealt with the problems encountered in recruitment, disaster relief, and city patrols.

It was also at this time that a flying army carried a flag through the city, went straight to the county temple, and sent a frustrated military report to Zhang Chong.

"Ying County sent a thousand troops, went straight to Mu County, and it will be there tomorrow."

Zhang Chong was happy in his heart, if Ying County dared to cross the border to attack Mu County, he must have received a military order from Fenggao's side. This shows that Fenggao's side is sending troops, and it happens to be ambushed by Guan Yu. In this way, Fenggao can be broken, and winning the county can be broken. As soon as these two cities are broken, then these hundreds of miles of Wugu will gallop for him. ….

But Zhang Chong's joy did not last long, and Guan Yu's military report was also delivered. Zhang Chong opened it and saw that there was no longer as easy as before. I saw the military newspaper:

"Feng Gao counted 2,000 soldiers, went down the Muwen River, and the ambush failed. Yu has led his troops back to the city, please be guilty of negligence."

Seeing Zhang Chong's silence, all the generals in the hall looked at him, not knowing what had happened.

Zhang Chong stacked the military newspapers, then put them on the eucalyptus, and said with a smile:

"The forces of Fenggao and Yingxian have been successfully mobilized by us. There are 2,000 soldiers from Fenggao, and 1,000 soldiers from Yingxian County, and they will probably arrive tomorrow."

As soon as these words came out, Li Damu rubbed his hands, and he said to Zhang Chong:

"If you come from the east, you will be ambushed by Captain Guan, so don't worry. And there are 1,000 soldiers in Yingxian County, and our troops in Mu County alone can be annihilated in battle. It's all good news."

Zhang Chong smiled:

"The waterway taken by the high soldiers, Yun Chang failed to ambush them. Although there were some changes in the strategy of encircling the points to send reinforcements, the result was the same. Now Yun Chang has 1,000 soldiers cruising outside, and we have 1,000 soldiers in the city, plus 1,000 soldiers who have returned one after another during this time, there are 2,000 soldiers. Then the flying army carried four hundred flags and cruised in the northeast of the county, as well as the Mu County battalion that we are recruiting now. Even if the soldiers of Fenggao and Yingxian are here, they can also be annihilated in one fell swoop."

When the generals heard this, they felt relieved, and they also felt that although there was an accident, the result was no different.

Then Zhang Chong chose the rangers to give two military orders to Guan Yu and Mengfu respectively, and ordered them to follow the orders. Then Zhang Chong gave orders to the various departments in turn, ordering the Wei Department to set up a fortress in the west of the city, and Li Damu's department to set up a fortress in the north of the city, and each other was a horn Gongwei Mu County. In the forbidden department and the newly recruited Mu County battalion is divided into four city gates. Zhang Chongzi led Dong Wan's 400 rampage team, and Tian Jun's 400 assault cavalry to sit in the city, ready to support the two outside the city. In addition, the baggage battalion also stepped up the repair of the broken city towers and built the equipment for defending the city.

While Zhang Chong was preparing here, Guan Yu's entire army was also running along the official road.

Guan Yu's heart was full of remorse at the moment, why himself

I didn't expect Bonggao to walk by water?

In fact, this is also Guan Yu's knowledge obstacle, he is from Hedong and has seen Caoyun. But he had been fighting on the border for a long time, and he never thought of transporting troops by water. So after he arrived at Mount Tai, he naturally thought that these soldiers also took the land route, but he didn't know that the Central Plains was a place with a dense water network, and the main stream of Guangda was Pushui, Jishui, Bianshui, and Suishui. And these big rivers are all connected, such as Jishui and Surabaya are connected by river water, and then Surabaya is connected to the Huai River, Yishui and Mushui are connected to Surabaya, and the Bianhe River is also connected to Surabaya. It can be said that the water network of the Central Plains has directly connected Jianghuai, Qingxu, and Yanyu. This is something that Guan Yu, a native of Shanxi, has never seen.

However, Guan Yu is not discouraged, if he is wrong, he is wrong, there is no excuse, he will make up for it now. So when he saw Feng Gaobing going down the river, Guan Yu immediately gathered the whole army and returned to Mu County. Chen Huan and Wang Zhang had nothing to say, Ding Sheng was going to say strange things, but seeing Guan Yu's non-angry and self-righteous appearance, he swallowed the words into his mouth again.

Ding Sheng said secretly:

"Don't say it, this red-faced man is quite scary when he has a straight face. Isn't it just walking, I'm the least afraid of walking."

But just after Guan Yu's headquarters had only walked four miles, Zhang Chong's horse had arrived, and Guan Yu was surprised when he saw the military order, and then he was amazed.

In the end, Guan Yu's troops stopped again, and the whole army turned around. This time, they are really going to fight Bonggao.

At the same time, the Feng Gao soldiers, who had gone down smoothly for thirty miles, stayed overnight on the boat, and finally arrived outside Mu County in the middle of the night.

That night, in the wilderness west of the city in front of Mu County, a huge camp rose from the ground.

96.
