By the time the city gate captain received the order to let He Quan in, the search in the city had already ended, three dead and one was captured, and the live mouth was already on the way to Beijing.

He Quan is a little afraid until now, Jingren Xizuo has actually sneaked into the territory of Mingzhou, you must know that there is a whole Liangzhou between Mingzhou and Huizhou more than a thousand miles from east to west, and the officers and soldiers of the guards, city defense sergeants, and village guards along the way actually have no news, and there is no way to know how many Jingren Xizuo has infiltrated.

If, what He Quan thinks is if, if something happens to Cao Ke, don't say that he is the commander of the Xiaozhou army, can he keep his life or not, who else can cover himself and keep himself when his sister died of illness three years ago?

Cao Ke and He Quan's hearts were very heavy, He Quan was because of the assassination, and Cao Ke was because of the Purple Feather Military Newspaper on the table.

During the day, because of the rush and forced taxes, it has been delayed until now.

"The Jing army suddenly attacked from all sides, and three of the 16 counties in Huizhou had been lost, and the soldiers could not stop it, and the people could not escape. Qingzhou City has received hundreds of thousands of refugees, and it is still pouring in, and the history of Huizhou Assassin also said that He Ding, the commander of Huizhou Weidu, had died in battle three days ago, and his bones were gone. ”

"Killed in battle?" He Quan asked cautiously.

"This is the battle report."

He Quan took it, and sure enough!

"Uncle, if Gu remembers correctly, He must be your distant cousin, right?"

He Quan nodded and said, "Four years younger than the last general, but he has also passed the destiny of heaven, and he is a distant cousin." ”

Cao Ke stood up and walked to He Quan's side and said, "Uncle, I want to rush to Huizhou as soon as possible." ”

He Quan raised his head and looked at Cao Ke, and said calmly: "There are still more than 1,200 miles to go to Huizhou, and it takes 400 miles to Qingzhou City. ”

"Your Highness, if it is not as long as the 12th, the soldiers will walk fifty miles and ride fifty miles on horseback, and they will arrive in Qingzhou for a little repair, and they can even attack directly without resting."

"But the whole territory of Huizhou is unstable, although there are still thirteen counties, but this is the news three days ago, all of them commanded the battle to make the battle dead Huizhou Wei is uncertain, most of the soldiers of the city defense battalion are leather armor, and the military armor equipment is far inferior to the four battalions of the state guard, so we must plan for the worst. The army of more than 100,000 Jingren and Han Ji's followers are all real numbers! ”

He Quan pondered, and Cao Ke did not bother.

In the past ten years, Zheng Guo's international environment has obviously been unsatisfactory, and Zheng Jun's combat power is still strong, but it is obviously not like pushing sideways if he was not satisfied before.

It took a full cup of tea for He Quan to say again: "Please forgive Your Highness, the last general still thinks that this plan is too risky, and now we are the only ones who can support Huizhou as soon as possible." ”

"How?"

"First of all, the enemy's situation is unknown, and the geometric configuration of the enemy's forces is not known and how it is distributed. Moreover, the Xiaozhou military equipment is a heavy armored iron horse, the maneuver is not as good as the light horse, and the rapid advance of 1,200 miles within ten days consumes a lot of war horses, even if the Xiaozhou army can only launch an attack, otherwise the war horses are easy to die in large quantities. ”

"I have thought about this alone, but with the combat strength of the Xiaozhou army is enough to give Jingren a thunderous blow, and a victory in the first battle can also suppress its troops, and it can buy time for the army at that time."

"What about the war horses?"

"If the war horse is gone, I will make up for it, and I will ask you for it in person!"

"There is a Xiaozhou army that only has heavy armor and iron cavalry, and the occasion for the appearance of the Xiaozhou army should be decisive."

"Not yet, isn't it? The commander of Huizhou Wei was killed in battle, and Huizhou Wei is now in a state of leaderlessness. Even if you count the Huizhou Weimafu and the manure diggers, how many people are there? ”

"Uncle, 41,865 soldiers, just over 40,000, there are more than 27,000 armored soldiers here, and how many people are in Yasukuni?"

He Quan was still hesitant.

How much is this to be in the number of less than 5,000? To 100,000? Million?

Cao Ke continued: "The western wilderness of Huizhou is suitable for cavalry, but the eastern part is mountainous and mountainous, and the cavalry restrictions are very large. ”

"Lonely, the meaning is to beat Jingren stunned first, and then break it into pieces, the team attacks, if there is a chance, you will fight, and if you don't have a chance, you will find a chance to fight. Jingren will not dispatch hundreds of people or thousands of people for dozens of people, even if they do, they don't believe that they can chase the uncle Xiaozhou army. ”

Seeing that He Quan still didn't speak, Cao Ke asked again: "Does Uncle and Grandpa think that the strength of the Xiaozhou army can confront millions of Jing people head-on?" ”

He Quanquan said with some displeasure: "No, there are only more than 4,000 people in the Xiaozhou army. ”

"Therefore, the enemy certainly did not expect that we would dare to use less than 5,000 men to charge into battle, and this surprise will have a miraculous effect, and then take advantage of its hesitation to quickly break into pieces, and guerrilla attacks. In this way, the enemy is open and I am secret, and I move flexibly, so I don't believe that the Jing people dare to leave a few thousand armor soldiers alone. ”

He Quan pondered for a while and asked, "Is what Your Highness said your own thoughts?" ”

Cao Ke was stunned for a moment and said: "It's not all, Lone's escort team is the son of the late General Zhang, Zhang Xiyang, when he chatted last night, he first proposed a rough idea, and Lone felt that it was very reasonable." ”

He Quan said with a smile: "If it is true that the tiger father has no dogs, General Zhang should be relieved that he has a spirit in the sky." Why don't Your Highness announce it, maybe there are other clever plans. ”

"Well, it's okay, just call in."

Soon Zhang Xiyang walked in.

"See Your Highness, the commander of Hedu."

He Quan looked at how satisfied this descendant was, and his future prospects were not much different, but it was a pity that he didn't have a granddaughter, otherwise it would be good to get married.

Cao Ke said: "Xiyang, as for Fang Luogu and He Du's commanders, they all think your idea is very good, you can tell me in detail." ”

"Yes!"

"In the short term, Jingren's strength cannot be changed, and the fastest reinforcement from all sides of our army is Liangzhou Weina, which will take half a month, but even if Liangzhou Wei is fully assembled, there are only more than 30,000 people, which is a drop in the bucket, so it must be my Xiaozhou Army that can play a decisive role in this time. The Xiaozhou army has many horses, and the eastern plains of Huizhou are suitable for the attack of the cavalry, if the Jingren have attacked Qingzhou, our army can completely divide the main force to attack and disturb, and must not fight head-on and lose the advantage. ”

"Send another surprise soldier, not too many, three or five hundred people are enough, scattered attack, or attack or catch a single order, always fight and always do not notice, tired of its soldiers, fall into its will. When the soldiers and horses of the northeast, southeast and Gyeonggi gather together, they can use thunder and complete the work. ”

After hearing this, Cao Ke asked, "What does General He think?" ”

He Quan asked, "How can three or five hundred people be saved within the depth of the enemy army?" ”

Zhang Xiyang hugged his fists and replied: "Lord Huihe, although the Jing army plundered the land of my three counties, but the three counties are Zheng Tu, and the people of the three counties are Zheng people, and the Jing army is difficult to compare with the burning and looting of bamboo wherever they pass, if there are soldiers, there will be people to help, although there are three or five hundred people, there are also three or five hundred people. ”

"Second, our army's equipment Jing army can not be compared, everyone is fine armor, Jing bow is difficult to penetrate thirty steps away, Jing knife is sharp but the toughness is insufficient, it is unstoppable to deal with cloth armor and leather armor, and if the heavy armor is likely to be broken in half. In comparison, most of the Jing army is bamboo armor, this thing is a joke when worn on the body, and a small number of elite iron armor and bronze armor are far less strong than our army, and a straight knife and crossbow are enough. ”

"Third, although there are many Jing troops, they belong to many princes, and they look different from each other, and there are many people but they are bloated, on the contrary, our army squad is flexible and changeable, and they will run away when they hit, plus how many troops will the Jing army send if they want to arrest us?"

"It will be more difficult for the Jing army to take a defensive position, but the three counties are hundreds of miles, and the mountains and mountains east of Qingzhou City are continuous, and we can take advantage of the situation to go out or enter, and it is so easy to search and arrest."

"With such a remark will think it is feasible."

Cao Ke couldn't help but nodded and asked: "What does General He think, the Jing people are on an expedition of more than 100,000 people, and Han Ji is already seriously injured and sent hundreds of thousands of troops to accompany him, is there a chance to take advantage of this?" ”

He Quan said with a smile: "What His Highness said is very true, but if you need to be good at boating, I am afraid that there will not be much in the Xiaozhou army." ”

"There must be a lot of Huizhou Linhai, and there will be no shortage of warriors to serve the country with the righteousness of the family and the country." Cao Ke then asked, "So General He thinks it's feasible?" ”

He Quan pondered again.

"My lord, don't you care if everyone says what you can't do?"

He Quan was stunned for a moment.

Zhang Xiyang continued to prosecute: "The last general Zeng Wen attacked the Yuren camp at night with one man and horse, and won more than 20 heads, and he was able to fight to the death with ten against five thousand on that day. Besides, the people in the three counties are nearly 10 million, how can we be stable with the Jingren butcher's knife on the side? ”

He Quan was stunned for a moment, Zhang Xiyang was also very nervous in his heart, He Quan has been famous for a long time, and he is a famous madman in Zheng Guo, how can he not be angry when he is so instructed by a descendant?

He Quan didn't speak, but Cao Ke was anxious: "Presumptuous, Zhang Xiyang, you are really daring!" ”

"The last general is in a hurry to ask His Highness for forgiveness, please forgive your sins!"

The mouth is hi, and the confession must be timely. Anyway, with King Zhao to protect him, he is still a subordinate of his deceased father, what can he do if he has such a relationship and say a few words.

He Quan smiled lightly: "Your Highness, don't blame this sharp-toothed kid, just like his father." ”

"General He is generous, you haven't thanked General He soon!" Cao Ke put it bluntly, he also has an inexplicable trust in Zhang Xiyang, and he always can't bear to tolerate this young officer who is a few years younger than himself, has it only been a few days?

Zhang Xiyang was unusually obedient at this time, and walked over to bow directly, but was stopped by He Quan raising his hand.

"It's okay, society belongs to you young people!" He Quan laughed at himself: "You would have thought that this plan would have been possible, but the specific strategy would have been perfected." ”

"It's nature." Cao Ke also had a little suggestion of his own when he saw this, and he was also very satisfied, and hurriedly responded: "Everything depends on General He's more planning." ”

"I didn't expect that I would be able to bring such a big one at such an old age, and I will be able to brag to my grandchildren and future generations when I return to Beijing after victory."

"Five thousand, no, less than five thousand, against at least a million people, boy, you are bolder than your father, hahahaha, not bad, not bad."

Zhang Xiyang laughed awkwardly, and wanted to scratch his head, but scratched on the iron helmet and made a few sounds.

"Your Highness, if there is nothing else to do, the general will retire first. Tomorrow morning, we will send you a planning strategy. ”

Cao Ke hurriedly got up: "There is General Lao." ”

"Your Highness stays."

He Quan said don't send Cao Ke, but he didn't dare not send it, so he went out with him, leaving Zhang Xiyang alone to look at the backs of the two and bow down to see each other.

There are a lot of military exploits again, Zhang Xiyang's eyes are shining with a strong fighting spirit, what an upward young man!
