However, there are some things that cannot be said in front of so many people.

There are many people, and sooner or later there will be problems.

After successfully defending Funing City, Yang Chengying led a large army into Funing City.

The magistrate of Funing and the squire saw the Jinzhou Army for the first time, and they were all frightened by the Jinzhou Army.

Not only are they well-armed, but there are also many large and small cannons, and among the soldiers, there are many soldiers carrying medicine boxes, and their steps are vigorous and uniform.

They were glad that they had already handed over the "Vote for Fame", otherwise they would definitely suffer a big loss if they waited for Yang Shuai to come.

When the army arrived, it did not immediately move south, but continued to station.

People are not surprised, only speculate whether Yang Chengying intends to support the army and ask for more benefits from the imperial court.

There are also speculations that Yang Chengying is waiting for the grain and grass to arrive, and then leading the army south.

In short, there are different opinions.

In the dead of night, the moon shines brightly.

Jin Guochen, the new commander of the Leopard Tao Battalion, and Kong Youde, the commander of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, both secretly came to Yang Chengying's study.

"Dashuai." When they entered the house, they clasped their fists and saluted.

"Sit."

Yang Chengying asked them to sit down while taking a map and spreading it on the table in front of them.

Jin Guochen and Kong Youde took a look, and it turned out to be a map of Jizhen.

In the impression of many people, Jizhen seems to be far away from Jingshi.

In fact, Jizhen is very close to Jingshi, and even Chengde is not within the scope of Jizhen.

"Dashuai, summoned us overnight, I don't know what happened?"

Kong Youde was an anxious man, and when he saw the map, he asked.

"Do you know what the Tartar's weakness is?"

Although he had said it a long time ago, Yang Chengying still wanted to test them.

Jin Guochen was still thinking about it, and Kong Youde replied: "Retreat!" Zunhua, Jizhou, and Santunying are all retreats, and they are afraid that these places will be cut off. ”

Yang Chengying nodded, and asked again: "There are so many places do you think, which place is the focus?" ”

The entire Jizhen defense line has fallen into the hands of the Houjin army, and it will definitely not be able to conquer all of them, so they can only attack the most painful place.

"It was supposed to be Zunhua, but the city of Zunhua is strong and the city walls are tall, so it is not easy to capture in a short time."

Kong Youde thought for a moment and said: "And if you want to make the Houjin army afraid, you must take down an important stronghold, and the subordinates of this place think it is the Santun camp!" ”

"Santun camp is far away from me, and I can't support you in a short time, what should you do?" Yang Chengying asked.

Hearing this, Kong Youde and Jin Guochen had already understood Yang Chengying's intentions.

Attract the enemy's attention with a large army, and intersperse behind enemy lines with small forces, like a stinger that keeps the enemy in the back.

"We carry part of the rations, and there should be no problem in holding on for more than ten days."

Jin Guochen patted his chest and promised.

A battalion that has been mainly engaged in mountain warfare for a long time has long been trained in leg strength, and both durability and speed are second to none in the Golden State Army.

is only weaker than the veteran powerhouse forward battalion and the guard battalion.

"Good!" Yang Chengying said with a serious face, "Kong Youde led a thousand light horses, led more Mongols, and Jin Guochen's leopard Tao battalion to march to Santun camp. ”

"Understood, we're going overnight."

Kong Youde nodded, he understood the truth of the speed of soldiers.

Yang Chengying didn't speak, but took out two wine bowls and poured wine into them.

Kong Youde and Jin Guochen glanced at each other, picked up the wine bowl, raised their heads, and drank it all.

That night, the 5,000 soldiers of the Leopard Tao Battalion and the 1,000 cavalry of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion who accompanied the army quickly packed their bags and lined up under the leadership of their respective sentinels, ready to set off.

Yang Chengying came to the camp of one of the outposts, checked the bags of several soldiers, and said solemnly: "Brothers, the art of war says that it is right and strange, and you are my strange soldiers. You will be like a steel knife firmly on the back of your enemies, and they will be tormented. ”

In the darkness of the night, the soldiers' eyes were like torches.

As soon as the conversation changed, Yang Cheng continued in a deep voice: "However, the enemy's counterattack will also be very fierce, and some of you may not be able to come back, are you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid." The soldiers replied in a low voice.

"If it was daytime, I would have asked you to speak out loud, but the situation is exceptional, and I believe you are telling the truth."

Yang Chengying's gaze swept over every young face, "With the honor of the soldiers, the expectations of the people, the expectations of parents, and the hopes of wives, let's go!" ”

"The seventh post of the Leopard Tao Battalion listens to the order, stands upright, turns right, and sets off!"

The sentry commander gave the order, and the soldiers lined up and ran out of the camp.

They joined up with the soldiers at the other outposts and headed off like a long dragon into the distance.

Jin Guochen and Kong Youde came to Yang Chengying's side and listened to the final instructions.

"Kong Youde is the head coach, and he has a lot of ideas when he fights."

Yang Chengying told them: "However, don't insist on going your own way, listen to the opinions of your subordinates, and the three stinkers will be Zhuge Liang." ”

"Got it." Kong Youde nodded and said, "Dashuai, don't worry, wait for our good news." ”

"Well, when the time comes, I will personally pick up the wind and wash the dust for you, and drink the celebration wine!" Yang Chengying patted them on the shoulder.

"Dashuai, I'll take my leave!"

Kong Youde, Jin Guochen, Hu Hongxian and other generals resigned to Yang Chengying, and then got on their horses and left.

Arrange this way, and then he will appear as the protagonist.

But before you debut, you have to arrange a backhand.

The next day, Yang Chengying convened the generals and held a meeting in the Yazheng Hall of Funing County.

"I stayed here, just to briefly understand the city defense situation in Funing."

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "Do any of you know where the weakness of Funing City is?" ”

"Southeast Corner."

Cao Wenzhao replied without thinking, "It may be that there are cracks in the city wall because of cutting corners." ”

Everyone looked at Cao Wenzhao in unison.

Cao Wenzhao withstood everyone's gaze and continued: "There is also the northwest corner, although there is no crack there, but there are problems after careful inspection. ”

"Good." Yang Chengying said with a smile, "I plan to personally lead a large army to support Changli, but in this case, Funing lacks suitable people to defend the city." ”

Many people suddenly realized that it was an exam question.

"General Cao, if you defend the city, who else do you want to be your lieutenant?" Yang Chengying asked.

"Dashuai, Zuo Liangyu and Huang have to do it."

Cao Wenzhao replied quickly.

"Zuo Liangyu."

"Yes."

"Huang Degong."

"Yes."

"Do you have any thoughts on General Cao's statement?"

Faced with the problem, Zuo Liangyu and Huang Degong both hesitated.

Zuo Liangyu took the lead and said: "We are young, and our prestige is not enough to serve the public, so I ask the marshal to arrange a commander for us, and we will work together to defend Funing City." ”

Huang Degong echoed casually: "The last general also has this meaning. ”

Yang Chengying nodded and was about to speak.

But he saw He Kegang clasping his fists and said: "Marshal, Funing is the foundation of our army, and the last general is willing to work with the three generals to defend the city and never disappoint the expectations of the marshal." ”

"With your words, I feel a lot more at ease."

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "Guan Ningjun has always been misunderstood by the imperial court and hundreds of officials, and this battle will be a battle for you to wash away your shame." ”
