Chapter 1080: Tang Jingze's plan

Less than 20 miles outside the city of Huazhou, nearly 20,000 Beiying troops disguised as rogue arrived at their destination in batches.

They hid on a mountain, and standing on the top of the mountain, they could faintly see the outline of Yuezhou City.

"As one of the three largest cities in the south of the Yangtze River, Yuezhou City is much better than Yangzhou and Jiangling."

It was Wang Zheng, the cavalry commander of the Beiying Army, who spoke.

And standing beside him was Tang Jingze himself.

He came in person.

After Tang Jingze entered the Great Yan, he stayed in Wudu City to fight his troops.

It was his first time away from home.

"The 30,000 rebels in the city are not to be feared, the focus is on the 5,000 Musou army. Moreover, there is a peerless army under the command of Su Xuan himself, which is extremely difficult to deal with." Tang Jingze said.

"When I was in Yangzhou, I wanted to learn about Su Xuan's demeanor. I haven't seen him yet, and he's said to look like a woman, really?" Wang Zheng asked with a smile.

Tang Jingze doesn't like to joke.

He asked, "Have you done what you were asked to do?"

"Look, General, isn't this coming?" Wang Zheng smiled and pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said.

I saw a rider coming along the mountain road.

This person was wearing armor, and when he walked in, he found that this man of medium stature was wearing the armor of General Sanpin.

He rolled over and dismounted, striding forward.

"Hahaha, Wang Zheng, I went to Jingshi for a year and gained a lot of weight." The man laughed.

"You are the same, Lao Gu." Wang Zheng said with a smile.

The man's name is Gu Manuscript, the deputy chief soldier of Yangzhou, and the official is Sanpin.

He is the right and left hand of the governor of Yangzhou, Di Jie, who is deeply trusted, holds great power, and is a proper feudal official.

There are two places in the south of the Yangtze River, Yuezhou and Yangzhou are one place, and Jiangling is one place.

The governor of Yangzhou, Di Di, was in charge of all matters in Yangzhou and Yuezhou.

Yuezhou's geography and economy are not inferior to Yangzhou.

Since there was Zhu Xuanqing, the uncrowned king, in Yuezhou before, the entire affairs of Yuezhou were basically operated by Zhu Xuanqing, and Di Jie didn't have to worry about it at all, and he wouldn't interfere with Zhu Xuanqing.

Wang went out of the Yangzhou military camp and was once Di Jie's right-hand man.

Wang Zheng and Gu Yi are in the same military camp, and the two have a deep friendship.

Tang Jingze knew that although Su Xuan was young, he was quite old and spicy, and the city government was very deep.

Although he brought 20,000 imperial troops, he did not dare to be careless.

Although someone in the city will open the door for them, he must also be prepared to defeat the Peerless Army.

Therefore, he asked Wang Zheng to send a letter to Di Jie, and asked Di Ji to send another army over, ready to reinforce Yuezhou City at any time.

Di Jie was the governor and the commander-in-chief of the two states of Yangzhou and Yuezhou, and he had the right to dispatch troops in both places.

Di Jie knew that Tang Jingze was here in person, and received a letter from Wang Zheng, so in order to express his attention, he directly sent the left and right hand Gu manuscripts.

"This is General Tang?" Gu Yi asked towards Tang Jingze.

"It's Tang." Tang Jingze replied in a deep voice.

"The last general, the deputy general of Yangzhou Jun, Gu Draft, has seen General Tang." Gu Jian immediately introduced himself.

Tang Jingze's second-grade title, Gu Jian claimed that it was also in line with etiquette and law to say that he would be the last general.

Moreover, Tang Jingze became famous at a young age, and his reputation in Dayan has always been not small.

"Mr. Gu doesn't have to be polite, how many people have you brought?" Tang Jingze asked.

"Not much, 100,000." Gu Yi smiled faintly.

"100,000 ......"

With the addition of his 20,000 soldiers and horses, there are 120,000 in total.

With a full 120,000 people, can't he still defeat Su Xuan, who only has 5,000 troops?

"Old Gu, is the governor so big? All 100,000 men have been sent?"

Wang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

The Yangzhou army had a total of only 50,000 soldiers and horses, which was about the same size as Han Yu's army in Jiangling.

But now Gu Manuscript directly brings

100,000 people, and it looks like the governor is preparing for himself!

100,000 people are definitely not pouring out of the nest, so the scale of the Yangzhou army has long exceeded 100,000 people!

"How is it, Lao Wang, do you regret leaving Yangzhou? Hehe, if you stay, you will command at least 30,000 troops now!" Gu Yi said with a smile.

"Harm, where do I have the level of the Governor and Lao Gu? I'm just a bunch of people, and it's good to stay in Jingshi." Wang Zheng said with a smile.

"General Tang is the commander in this battle, General Tang said let's see, how should I play? The governor said that with such a big deal from the imperial court, there must be more than 30,000 rebels in Yuezhou City, right?" Gu Jian asked.

"There are 5,000 unequaled troops in the city, and there are 9,000-year-old deities in charge." Tang Jingze replied.

"Su Xuan? Oh...... He is actually in Yuezhou City? No wonder, he left Beijing with 5,000 soldiers and horses not long ago, and then disappeared directly, and even we in Yangzhou didn't know his traces, but I didn't expect him to sneak into Yuezhou City." Gu Jian said.

Gu Jian didn't expect that the opponent this time would be so big.

When he was 9,000 years old, he actually mixed with tens of thousands of rabble.

"We have an army of more than 100,000 people, and we can't defeat the Peerless Army, right? I'd love to learn about Su Xuan's true combat power. The governor said that Yangzhou has been peaceful for a long time, and it is time to pull it out and slip away." Gu Jian said with a smile.

"This battle is not complicated, someone will open the gates for us. At that time, I led 20,000 troops from the northern camp into the city, and General Gu led 100,000 people to guard the four city gates. Let me go first to find out the details of the Peerless Army. If there is an accident in the city, we will naturally send a signal to General Gu, asking General Gu to come into the city to help." Tang Jingze said.

"No problem, the governor said, General Tang is the commander, and all my battle plans are subject to General Tang's arrangements." Gu Jian said with a smile.

"What else did the Governor say?" Wang Zheng asked.

"Discuss business, can you not interrupt." Gu Manuscript didn't have a good airway.

"I just think that nine thousand years old is not so easy to deal with, and I invited the Yangzhou army to come just in case. Although people's hearts are complicated, the situation in this battle is not complicated." Tang Jingze said.

"Is it true that there are only five thousand unparalleled troops in the city?" Gu Jian asked.

"It is true that there are only 5,000 Wushuang Army, the Wushuang Army has a total of more than 24,000 people, 10,000 Wushuang Army is in Beijing, 6,000 are in Huining, and 3,000 are in Yanzhou. Therefore, in this Yuezhou City, there is no possibility that there will be a surplus of Peerless Army." Tang Jingze said.

They didn't seem to take into account the 30,000 rebels in the city.

It seems that no one took those 30,000 people seriously.

These regular troops, often 100,000 in size and fully armed, are all elite and strong generals, so naturally they will not take some rebels in their eyes.

"General Tang has 20,000 people, and it shouldn't be a problem to deal with 5,000 Wushuang troops. So this time, I came to pick up a credit for nothing." Gu Jian said with a smile.

"I hope so, I don't want to drag the Yangzhou army to the battlefield." Tang Jingze said.

"Haha, Lao Gu, this time it's cheap, don't forget to invite me for a drink when you turn around." Wang Zheng said with a smile.

"It's not settled yet, so it's too early to rejoice." Tang Jingze said in a deep voice.

The two looked at Tang Jingze at the same time, and then laughed.
