Chapter 54: Recruiting Talents (3)

Return to camp.

Along the way, Chen Yuzhu also communicated with Yang Kai in detail about the origin of this strange talent, not that Chen Yuzhu caught him, but heard the former read out the recruitment order loudly, and he stood up and said that he had a plan.

Chen Yuzhu brought it back to roar, threw it in the camp, and retrieved Yang Kai. At this time, the people in the army were surrounding the middle-aged man who was led back by Chen Yu, and I don't know if he was familiar with him, or if he was very eloquent, when Yang Kai came back, she had already mingled with the people in the army.

Chen Yuzhu shouted from afar, and the brothers in the vicinity retreated, and Yang Kai saw this man who was brought by Chen Yuzhu and stood in the center of the "stage".

He looks like he is in his thirties, his eyebrows are clear, and his face is like powder. Although he was also dressed in linen, he was not undignified compared to the people around him because of his handsome expression.

Seeing Yang Kai coming, he was not in a hurry, looking forward to the etiquette of the generals left and right, probably guessing Yang Kai's identity, so he gave a salute on the spot:

"The little monk Yin Zuozen, the law name is Huixin, I have seen this master of the house."

What he did was the etiquette of the Buddha's family, Yang Kai frowned lightly when he saw it, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, many ways and few believed in Buddhism, and he also knew very little about the Buddhism.

Chen Yuzhu snorted at him and scolded: "You bald ...... Long donkey, don't you kneel when you see the head of the camp? "I wanted to call him a bald donkey, but he didn't expect that he was not bald, probably just a lay disciple.

Yin Zuochan was neither humble nor arrogant, and continued with a sentence: "The monks only kneel to the Buddha, and it is not rude to join the army to meet the head of the house with Buddhist etiquette. Besides, the head of the house is not the kind of leader who values etiquette over talent, right? ”

He had obviously heard of Yang Kai, and after meeting him in just a few words, he revealed that he was extraordinary, Yang Kai just smiled at this, stretched out his hand to stop Chen Yuzhu's movements, and asked him to go to the main camp.

Yang Kai asked his soldiers to bring up two handfuls of horses and asked him to sit down: "Zen Master Huixin is running from afar, and it is inconvenient for the soldiers to drink under the city, and there is no tea to entertain under the camp, how about taking a sip of water first?" ”

"No problem, no problem." Yin Zuochan sat down gently, took the wooden bowl brought by the soldiers, drank it all, and then breathed a long sigh of relief. "The little monk is just a disciple of Buddhism, he has been practicing Buddhism in Yonghua Hall for six years, he has never practiced Buddhism, he has only studied the master's Zen martial arts, and he has entered the world to practice medicine to save people, and he can't be the name of a Zen master.

Yang Kai was a little confused about his origins, he was a non-religious person, and he didn't know much about Buddhism and Taoism, so he wouldn't know that this Yonghua Hall that led to many honors in the Ming Dynasty, "the world's kung fu out of Shaolin, Shaolin Gong in Yonghuatang" and "the world's Zen martial arts doctor, the supreme Yonghuatang".

Looking at Yin Zuochan again, although his clothes were torn, they were cleanly washed, making his whole person look refreshed. Seeing that Yang Kai was not in a hurry to take out the tray he knew, and the water brought from the river from the wooden bowl of his own soldiers, he didn't dislike it, he drank it cleanly, and after the whole action, he was calm and relaxed.

Those who have seen the way of the world clearly and have ambitions cannot do so.

Yang Kai is a careful person, since he took over the mantle of the eldest brother and took charge of this army, he has been walking on thin ice, and it is rare to have a quiet time, and he does not dare to waste it, and he has to study day and night. After maintaining this state for a long time, my ability has naturally been improved, and I have seen more people in the army and in the world, and I have mastered some skills to recognize people from the details.

At the moment, he didn't plan to go around in circles anymore, so he asked with a smile: "I heard the head of the camp say that Mr. is familiar with the geography and humanities of Runing Mansion, and I don't know what to teach me when I come with him this time?" ”

Yin Zuochan was not in a hurry to answer, even if he was watched by all the thousands of households in Yang Kai's department, he was still not afraid, "The little monk went out of Chu into the lake and then went to Runing, I have already heard that there has been a young man named Little Pioneer in the peasant army recently, and the siege of the city is very different from other families, and now I am here, and I also want to ask the Little Pioneer three questions." ”

"Rude!"

Seeing him so verbose, Yan Hou didn't say anything important, and openly wanted to ask Yang Kai a question, and when the long knife on his waist was pulled out in half, he was about to behead someone.

Yin Zuochan was still tepid, and said calmly: "I am discussing with you in charge, and the master has not yet spoken, so are you going to be this family?" ”

In one sentence, Yang Kai's generals despised the problem of being in charge, and he was still insufficient, and then said: "I have heard that ancient and modern generals are famous generals, and when they integrate wisdom, faith, benevolence, bravery, and strictness, they should be confidants and pawns, and they can be wise when they seek talents;

When a scholar comes, he sees each other and treats each other with courtesy, which is for the sake of faith; The coercion should be big, and the sound of crying is not heard, which can be seen and benevolent; How can an army of thousands of people be considered brave, and it is difficult for a monk to be considered brave? The moment he joined the army, although he treated each other politely, his subordinates were both powerful and brave, and they were both lost, can they be regarded as famous generals? ”

Chen Yuzhu and Yanhou were dumbfounded, they were all people who had read books and could read and write, so they naturally knew what Yin Zuochan meant, although they didn't want to admit it, but they felt in their hearts that what he said was reasonable.

Their relationship with Yang Kai can be regarded as close, and they are used to grabbing words in front of him to show their loyalty, but they never thought that their habitual words and deeds have invisibly reduced the majesty of the master, and they looked at each other silently.

Yang Kai immediately changed his image greatly, and he was happy in his heart, and he was not in a hurry to punish the two according to what he said, but the people around him retreated first, leaving an empty camp of more than 100 steps, and only the two of them were negotiated, and he still kept a smile afterwards, and asked, "I don't know what confusion Mr. is here to solve?" ”

Yang Kai asked, and he responded: "How can the little pioneer win this attack?" ”

The former should know that what he is asking is the current siege of the city, "How can you win a brave attack from the north and a surprise attack from the south?" Mr. Qiu and the others came into the camp, just to know themselves and the enemy, and to die fewer brothers. ”

Hearing this answer, Yin Zuochan was quite recognized, and asked: "If this city is broken, what should I do with my feet?" Slaughtering people and killing officials and plundering the city, or stationing the people in the city and seeking development? ”

"After entering the city, there are three things, one is to appease the people, the second is to recruit soldiers, and the third is to seek talents. Runing Mansion City plays an important role in Runing Prefecture, which can be used as a strategic support for Nanzhili, Huguang and Zhongzhou.

Take a city of Fu, brave for a while, leaving troops to garrison the city is only one of them, to seek development, the righteous army should be the main force, plunder the above three places, in order to protect the lack of food and equipment, take root in the garrison, high grain to strengthen the horse, recruit weapons to strengthen the army, when the army is strong and strong, and then raise troops to the north, first take Zhongzhou, and then expel Shaanning, in order to determine the Central Plains. ”

"The Ming government is tyrannical, Huguang and Jiangnan are rich in grain, the imperial court is not allowed to pick, and the Donglin people are in charge of wealth, how easy is it to take it? In the extreme cold land of the northwest, riots broke out one after another. It has been more than ten years now, but the people and the army have not been able to govern, the officials and the army have not been peaceful, and the two sides have been fighting for more than ten years, and the people of the world have suffered even more. The family and the nation are in danger, and they have the heart to ask for the land of Longxing in the Central Plains, what do they want? ”

"The big husband was born in heaven and earth, when the three-foot sword in the palm of the hand, the immortal merit, the Donglin clan swept the snow in front of the door, willing to be a national thief, the imperial court and the royal family are incapable of corrupting the government, since being a thief of the people, a say'kill people and set fire to the gold belt, build bridges and repair roads without corpses', the battle between the imperial court and the Qing army Salhu has been nearly 20 years, and it can not be contained.

We are waiting to expose the rod, bearing the name of a national thief, neither the thief party does the gentleman's thing, and he does not come to steal the wealth of He Qiu? Seeking the Central Plains again, Mr. also said that it was the land of Longxing, and he should do the thing of slaying dragons, since he is weak, how about letting me wait to give it a try? ”

Yang Kai's words were undisguised, and he spat out the general ambition in his heart, this was not because he believed in this strange talent when they first met, and at the same time, he also wanted to see the other party's reaction.

The other party asked three questions when he first came, Yang Kai also understood what he meant, one was a test to verify that Yang Kaibu was indeed different from other rebels, and the other was also weighing.

Yin Zuochan is indeed a person with great ambitions, and the reason why he left to practice medicine is of course inseparable from the fact that he only practiced Zen martial arts, and the more important reason is that he does not agree with his master's ideas.

He also didn't know that the Ming court's national concept of protecting the family and defending the country cultivated by their Yonghuatang had already taken shape in this era, and it would develop into the core idea of the anti-Qing gangs similar to the Tiandihui in the future.

At present, he has been practicing medicine for many years, and he has strengthened his point of view, the nation should exist with a status that is more important than the imperial court, and the people of the court have suffered for a long time, and they do not want to repent, what is the use of supporting such a court?

"This is the end of the little monk's problem."

Yin Zuochan looked at Yang Kai directly, today's negotiation with him really made him see another side of the leader of the peasant army. Although the person sitting opposite him now is only a young man who is not as old as himself and whose status is still only that of an old manager, he no longer despises him.

Now that he has made up his mind, Yang Kai's answer can be regarded as in line with his thoughts, and he no longer hides it.

"The little monk can now tell the master what he wants to know, a few days ago, I was practicing medicine along the way into the city of Runing Mansion, the city is the king of Chong, I heard that the rogue is coming, I was scared, and I was uneasy all day long.

The servant of the palace invited the little monk to go to the doctor, so I also knew that this vassal king was a man without courage, and he had wanted to open the city and surrender several times to welcome the Liukou into the city. So after the consultation, they hurried out of the city.

However, after all, Runing is a big city, and although the vassal king is weak and powerless, he also has three hard bones. Yang Zhongxiang, the governor of Zuodu, is one, and the other two, one is called Zhao Yuanzhen, and the other is called Qian Kaijia. It is divided into the prefect of Runing and the governor of the same prefecture.

It is precisely because of the presence of three people that they have long heard that the Liukou gathered in Yuncheng, and recruited troops to strengthen the city-state, before the little monk escaped, plus the 2,000 regular troops guarding the city, they had already accepted more than 5,000 people, and now it will only be more. ”

explained the general situation in the city, Yin Zuochan still had something to say, and said:

"With the talents of the three of them, it is not difficult to think of the siege tactics that are fighting side attacks, in my opinion, if the master wants to take Runing lightly, relying on the strange soldiers alone is not enough to guarantee, when besieging on three sides, they only have three people, and they can only be stationed in three directions.

The city is large, if the war starts, take care of yourself, the main gate to meet the enemy, when it is Yang Zhongxiang, the southwest two gates should be Qian Kaijia, Zhao Yuanzhen two, the east city is near the river, the road is narrow, not conducive to the march of the brigade army, this direction should be the weakest point of the city defense, want to break the city, when the southwest army is strengthened with a false momentum, the main force enters the east gate in the west, the virtual reality is covered, not more than three days, Ru Ning can go down. ”

His words swept away most of Yang Kai's worries for the past few days, and he suddenly felt confident in his heart. Not to mention the dream of the Central Plains, at least he has a foothold in the south this time, and he is already fully sure.

"It's really my luck, before the battle, I have to be such a genius, no less than the enemy, and add three more armies."
