fifty-nine

The next morning, the sergeant guarding the city gate suddenly saw a Liao soldier barracks outside the city move, countless figures lined up in the morning fog, horses were led out, and a number of two thousand soldiers stamped neatly in the fog, and a general flag was raised.

Among the figures of all the generals, there is only one that is more special, that is a civil official, wearing a green robe, he is also riding a horse, standing behind the leading general, and they are facing countless rushing sergeants.

The sergeants cooked food, led the horses, and formed a team, and then under the astonished gaze of the standard battalion soldiers who defended the city behind, this group rode away and drove south.

A standard battalion soldier wiped his eyes and said, "Isn't that the rear camp of the newly arrived Liao soldier Li Shujiao, their first battalion has been specially taken care of by the governor, so you should take care of it, and go and report to the governor quickly." "At that moment, there are standard battalion soldiers to report to Cui Guiyuan.

When Cui Guiyuan stood on the city tower, he could only see the smoke and dust of the people in the distance, more than 2,000 cavalry, without getting his order, drove out at that time, and looked at the direction, knowing that it was going to Tai'an.

A guest next to him stepped forward and said: "My lord, this Li led the sect to ask for war several times a few days ago, and after the lord rejected him, he was very displeased, saying that as long as he worked hard for one day, he could relieve the siege of Tai'an, and he was very dissatisfied with the adult." ”

Another guest also said: "My lord, according to the soldier's report, yesterday's Li Shujiao and Geng Ruji had a very happy conversation, but I am afraid that they got on with Geng Ruji, and after listening to Geng Ruji's words, he led the troops in private to save Tai'an." ”

At this time, a sergeant from below rushed upstairs and shouted, "Lord Governor, Master Li Shujiao has left you a letter and wants to send it to you." ”

The following people had already opened the letter, Lang Sheng read it, and the curtain guest read: "The world is safe, all of you are your generation, An can call the world with his body, how to serve the country and the people, only the military to the death, the death of the text, today the text is more valuable than the moral article, Wu is drowning in money, food and goods, seeing the country in danger and thinking that it is the step to advance, seeing the people displaced, and joking that it is the way to accumulate wealth, I am not talented, two thousand sons, are loyal to the country, the son of a good family, see the people displaced, such as seeing the parents suffering, see the demons making trouble, such as seeing the enemy as a disaster, An can avoid the war to protect himself, so he privately leads the army, in order to fight the enemy soldiers, if he wins, it is the public strategy, if he loses for the martial arts, he will bow again......"

Cui Guiyuan was angry in his heart, but the person who has been an official to his point will not put his anger on his face for a long time, he just said lightly: "It's not a big deal, tell the generals that I specially allowed Li to lead the camp to rescue each other, and I want the generals not to think about it, okay?"

The curtain guests and sergeants below all responded, and Cui Guiyuan looked in the direction of Tai'an, with a cold light in his eyes.

At present, with the rise of the orthodox Qing school, the Chinese officials of the DPRK have thoroughly mastered the lifeblood of the military generals and border soldiers, and the grain, grass, personnel, and generals are all in their hands; whether a military general can be promoted or not, and the combat merits are secondary, even the secondary, and the most important, whether they are in line with the wishes of the princes in the DPRK and the central government, and whether they are in line with the wishes of the civilian officials.

The princes of the court, from the bachelors of the cabinet to the green-robed petty officials of the fifth or sixth grades, fought with each other non-stop, but everyone was born in the imperial examination, and they all had a great consensus, that is, "if the martial arts are strong, the morality of the article is weak, if the military is powerful, the civil officials will have no way to live, and if the martial arts are prosperous, the country will be in danger." ”

A martial artist, who dared to laugh at him as the champion of the dynasty, to: "Seeing the danger of the country and taking it as the step of advancement" is really not to put him in the eyes of the champion and the head of the civil officials, if this wind is allowed to continue, it will turn the efforts of several generations of scholars and cabinet elders into flowing water, in order to crack down on the generals, several generations of scholars in the DPRK and China, no matter which faction, as soon as they come to power, are to crack down on the generals, from decades ago to set up a major case to close the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, to the present Li Huaifeng, Wu Zhangzhang and others worked desperately to belittle the military generals, and the civil officials spared no effort from generation to generation in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and finally had today's situation.

Today's military generals can not be responsible for their own food and grass logistics, can not leave their own station, see the civil officials to kowtow, if the civil officials are not happy, you can find a head by the military generals pants off a pass, in public humiliation of the generals, if the military generals have made meritorious service, the first merit is his top civil official, followed by the small officials responsible for logistics behind him, and finally let the military generals nod their heads to remember the merits, now even the small people know to take the test of the military champion, so many years of hard work, so many generations of efforts, in exchange for today's situation.

Li Shujiao must not be allowed to destroy this situation alone, and the generals must not escape the control of the civil ministers, and they must not.

Cui Guiyuan looked at the empty camp and said secretly: "If you can't exterminate Li Shujiao, how can this official be worthy of his own moral article." "I made up my mind to teach Li to kill chickens and monkeys.

Under the city of Tai'an, thousands of militiamen dug a trench of several feet at the city, surrounding the city like an iron bucket, and tens of thousands of people lined up to prepare for the next round of attacks.

Hu Quan and Qin bandits stood on a high slope in the city, looking at the cloud-like crowd below, now that there are more people, they are like ants, and they can only see countless fireworks coming out of the Tai'an city wall in the distance, which is the fire caused by the ignition of the rocket launched, and the fire oil that the soldiers bravely fell down.

The open space outside the city was full of corpses, the moat that was originally thirty paces long since dried up, now there was only the riverbed, and it was filled with corpses, many of which had begun to rot, and the sun shone on the corpses, and the corpses smelled of corpses for a while, and there were many thrown weapons and arrows in the middle.

The wandering militia didn't want to collect the corpses, let them rot, it was not the hottest time, and it was not easy to cause epidemics, and Hu Quan was reluctant to take the lives of his subordinates to collect some corpses.

Hu Quan said to Qin beside him: "Can you hear clearly? Cui Guiyuan will not send troops to rescue, if he really does not send troops, I can transfer all the soldiers and horses in the north back, and now Deng Dezhi is about to send soldiers and horses, transfer that force of soldiers and horses to him, just capture Zibo Mansion, and conquer Zibo, you can attack Licheng from both sides." ”

Qin Bandit smiled: "Don't worry, I spent a lot of money to find out the news, do you know that the prefect of Tai'an Mansion Li Congzhe and Cui Guiyuan are not dealing with each other, this Tai'an Mansion prefect is a faction of the pro-guard husband and Prince Wu, Cui Guiyuan is named Qingliu, but in his bones he is more orthodox than the orthodox, he can't wait for the city to be broken, and besides, the Tai'an city is broken, he has nothing to do, but if you send reinforcements, in case of failure, Cui Guiyuan will also suffer the crime, if you are Cui Guiyuan, you will not send troops." ”

Hu Quan smiled: "Okay, I will immediately send the soldiers and horses from the north to Deng Dezhi's men." ”

Qin Bandit said: "Also, there is new news, the leader of the Yan soldiers is Zu Tingnian, one of the deputy commanders of Yan Town, he brought 5,000 cavalry, Liao Zhen came to Li Shujiao, he only brought more than 2,000 cavalry, but it is one person and two horses, now they are in Licheng, it has been more than ten days, but Cui Guiyuan does not allow the Liao soldiers of the Yan soldiers to attack, and now the Yan soldiers and Liao soldiers you are worried about are eating grain and grass in Licheng every day. ”

When Hu Quan heard the news, he smiled at the sky and said: "Cui Guiyuan is really a great hero of my Holy Sect, if I lead the soldiers and horses of the court, I only need to attack behind the cavalry when I attack Tai'an, my Holy Sect is in danger, I don't want that Cui Guiyuan to actually stand still, I really want to give that Cui Guiyuan a nickname, just call Cui Guiyuan as immovable as a mountain, how about Cui Guiyuan?"

Qin Bandit said: "He added Yan Liao soldiers under his command, I am afraid that there are nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the elite soldiers and horses of my Holy Sect are only 5,000, most of them are cannon fodder soldiers, so they must not be able to beat, but the Heavenly Aid Holy Sect, the civil officials of the court, are good at intrigue, and the article is rhetorical, fortunately the emperor has closed the Dadu Governor's Mansion, otherwise, we will all die in the place where we are buried?"

Hu Quan has never been interested in the political system, and said: "As long as there are more people like Cui Guiyuan in the court, our life will be better." Qin bandit said: "At the beginning of the founding of the dynasty, there was a metropolitan governor's mansion, with the military general and the imperial family as the metropolitan governor, and the unified deployment of soldiers and horses, at that time, the Great Zhou Dynasty could mobilize 600,000 soldiers at most at a time, but a few decades ago, the metropolitan governor's mansion was withdrawn, and the military power was taken by civilian officials. ”

Hu Quan said: "I also know this, the power of the Metropolitan Governor's Office is too great, and the emperor can't control it, so the military power is sent to the hands of the governor and governor, and the military general can no longer do it if he does not eat empty pay or drink the blood of the soldiers, at most he can bring 8,000 soldiers, hum, a general soldier should have more than 30,000 soldiers, you see which one of the several military towns in the Great Zhou Dynasty can do it, in the past few decades, fighting female straight people, one defeat after another, fighting the Turks is a little better." ”

Qin Bandit said: "Don't worry about it so much, as long as Tai'an is broken, we can get more than 100,000 people and take them into the army, presumably the military strength will definitely increase greatly, and we can develop to Henan and Hebei, and even hope to attack Guanzhong one day." ”

While the two were talking, the following was ready for another attack, and the trumpet was blown again, and another big attack began, countless people set up the ladder, the ladder was as big as a high platform, and the ladder was specially placed on it, and the archers below, the shield hands above, followed by a large group of stragglers, and a new round of impact began.

The opposite Tai'an city also broke out with boundless momentum, the stone ballista pulled, countless stones, the big one is like a millstone, the small one is like a watermelon, it bounced into the sky in a squeak, and fell down with the sound of the wind, after reaching the distance, the archers began to release arrows, just in front of Hu Quan's eyes, a shield car was hit, the shield car broke several pieces, and the wandering militia behind fled in panic, but before taking a few steps, they were shot like hedgehogs, and the militia shooters who followed the siege vehicle also began to counteract on the city wall, and from time to time a figure was hit and fell from the city tower。

Hu Quan looked at it and said: "This strength can't be attacked, even if these cars are close to the city wall, there are too few people to send them at one time, I'm afraid it's useless." ”

Qin Bandit said: "I didn't expect to capture such a big city, I wanted to besiege them." ”

Since the beginning of the army, the militia has greatly developed, Hu Quan changed the previous armor soldiers to pacesetters, and desperately expanded, now the strength of the militia has increased, not only the number has increased, but also in the quality has increased, for example, the siege of the city, the former militia, will not make things such as ladders and shields, and do not know how to arrange troops, and now the militia, with a large group of officers, they are headed by Hu Quan, there is a faint trend of military groups.

Hu Quan said: "I just heard that Hu Haima suffered a defeat, I don't know what Gongzi means?"

Qin Bandit said: "Now is the time to employ people, there is a great shortage of generals, Gongzi punished him for a few days, and planned to let him lead the troops again." ”

Hu Quan said: "My Holy Sect soldiers, if we want to continue to win, we must reward and punish clearly, Hu Haima lost the battle, and he should be beheaded." ”

Qin Bandit said: "Childe's thoughts, can't you guess?"

Hu Quan said: "It depends on the son's vision and mind, to take the world, in fact, not only to strategize, but also to have vision and mind." ”

Qin Bandit smiled: "Brother Hu is willing to help Tiangongzi take the world?"

Hu Quan smiled: "Whether you can take the world is not yet known, if it is a virtuous son, I am a martial artist, what can't I do." Qin Bandit smiled and only said: "If the son is not virtuous?" Hu Quan said: "This day is not allowed, I am a martial artist, what can I do?"

The two talked and laughed, the front attack was rout again, only a siege vehicle drove under the city wall, but there were too few people on it, although the city wall, but the other party and the wall also gathered a lot of soldiers, the two sides fought on the wall for a while, and finally because they were outnumbered by the other party cut down the city wall, the other party foiled this attack, the soldiers on the wall Xiang Yong raised the weapons and shouted loudly, and then Hu Quan saw an old man in official uniform standing in front of a big drum with a hammer, shaking his aging body, desperately beating a drum, standing behind him are some people who look like his family, it seems that that is the prefect of Tai'an Mansion Li Congzhe boss。

Qin Bandit said to a shooter beside him: "Can you shoot him?" At this time, Li Congzhe wanted to go up to the city tower and shoot him to death, which could greatly damage the morale of the soldiers defending the city.

The archer was one of Hu Quan's pacesetters who was extremely good at foot shooting, and after he made an estimate, he said: "My lord, if I can go a hundred steps in front of the city gate, and then don't blow the wind like today, and the official is still standing there, the little one is fifty percent sure." ”

Hu Quan said: "Don't worry, the next time he goes up to the city tower again, you find a chance to go again, I will send someone to cover your shooting, if you miss a hit today, then the other party will definitely be alert, and if you are alert, then it will be difficult to start again next time." ”

Qin Bandit also said: "That's the truth. ”

Hu Quan said to the people around him: "I immediately sent my general order, and ordered Zuo Mingyu, Guo Tianliang, Lao Huihui and other departments to immediately reinforce Deng Dezhi, and set off today, and strive to go to Zibo in three days to meet with Deng Dezhi, I want him to quickly defeat Zibo Mansion, now the county town can no longer support our army, only in the breakthrough of the city, can we support my holy sect army." "At this time, the logistics of the militia all rely on robbery, since the beginning of the army, dozens of broken counties, each broken county, the most important thing is military food equipment, the former militia soldiers did not have to worry when the soldiers were few, but now the militia reached 100,000 people, just by robbing the county is no longer useful, now to rob the city, only the city of Fucheng, in order to support this more and more army.

But in other words, the dozens of county towns that the militia has robbed have become empty and ghostly towns, wherever the militia passes, the rats will starve to death, rob a place, they will rob the next place, they plan to rob the city, but once the city is robbed, then this prosperous city, the city will be in history, the militia is the longest than destruction, and the Qin bandits still think that it is not enough, he sent people to destroy spring ploughing everywhere, and decided that the people here can not get any food, only the people are hungry, it is possible to rebel with the White Lotus Sect。

The two discussed some more things, and then separated, both of them were in high positions, and they were usually extremely busy.

In Fangjiazhuang, Fang Juren looked at his nephew Fang Yingchen in front of him, Fang Yingchen was kneeling in front of his uncle, shouting and scolding.

Fang Liping took a few servants and gently turned to the front of the room, only to hear Fang Yingchen's voice coming, only to hear: "Uncle, you can't send troops to attack, our family village has just defeated the militia, and its own vitality is also greatly damaged, besides, Li Congzhe is a traitor in the DPRK, and my uncle sent out the family soldiers, didn't he help the traitor party in the DPRK, the traitorous party did all kinds of evil, bewitched the saint, and the party of Wei Eunuch and Wu thieves in the DPRK was in turmoil, if my uncle sent troops, he just helped the traitor party in vain." ”

Fang Liping asked the subordinates beside her: "This is the same thing?" Mother Long below said: "Today, a large group of officers and soldiers crossed the border from here, an official named Geng Ruji, the same year as the master, I heard that after the Fang family soldiers defeated the militia, they came to the door to ask for a loan, the master might as well answer for a while, Young Master Fang Yingchen desperately dragged the master and did not let the master send troops. ”

Fang Liping listened to it for a while, Fang Yingchen turned over and over again the words of traitors, thieves, etc., anyway, it was a Zhuang soldier who could never send Fang family soldiers.

Since Zhang Jiayu and Wu Chuanyu defeated Hu Haima's wandering militia, the wandering militia did not dare to make trouble in this area for a while, and the wandering militia did not have the strength to attack here again, and Cui Guiyuan closed the gate of Licheng, so that the exiles had nowhere to vote, for a time, countless exiles who were unwilling to vote for the White Lotus Sect gathered outside Fangjiazhuang, and Fang Juren was organizing spring ploughing during this period of time, due to a big victory, the wandering militia could not destroy the local spring ploughing, Fang Juren recruited displaced people, trained soldiers and horses, for a time, there was the momentum of the majestic side.

Not long after, Fang Juren waved his hand, Fang Yingchen went down, although Fang Yingchen is also his nephew, but can not be regarded as a close relative, several of his close relatives have been sent to the divine capital, as a training ambassador, send his own son to study in the divine capital, not only to save his son's life, but also the court in order to prevent these military training envoys from really sitting big in the future.

After a short time, the servants below invited Wu Chuanyu, Zhang Jiayu, Fang Yingzhi, Fang Yinglong, Zhou Xianfa and other generals to come up, after this battle, some of the characters who showed their military talents were raised, and when everyone sat down, Fang Juren said: "What do you think?"

Zhang Jiayu spoke first: "Master Juren, Tai'an and I will be saved, Master Juren can know that the reason why the militia do not dare to attack is precisely because the main force of the militia is besieging Tai'an, so that they cannot divide the troops, if Tai'an falls into the hands of the militia, so that the militia is empty-handed, then they will definitely come to attack Fangjiazhuang, it is better to strike first and defeat this large force of the militia, at least the militia will not be able to attack this part of Fangjia within a year." ”

Wu Chuanyu also said: "Raise people, Fangjiazhuang is on the road to Licheng and Tai'an, if the thieves capture Tai'an, they must attack Licheng again, then our family village is the place that must pass, and the officers and soldiers of Wande and Zhang Xia in the north of Fangjiazhuang have been lost in the last war, and we will fight with the militia sooner or later, and now I look at the Liao soldiers, one person and two horses, all cavalry, all of them are elite soldiers, plus our family of 2,000 infantry, when the militia can be broken. ”

The original officers and soldiers of Wande and Zhang Xia were the left front guard station, and the thousands of officers and soldiers of the left front guard post were all wiped out in the last battle, and Zhang Jiayu is still Zhang Xia's hundred households in theory.

Fang Juren asked: "If the two of them send troops away, who will guard Fangjiazhuang?"

Zhang Jiayu said: "Master Fang don't worry, the main force of the militia is divided into several shares, but the closest one from our village is this one in Tai'an, within a hundred miles around, there is no second enemy army, the master can rest assured to recruit the homeless, train new soldiers, and arrange spring ploughing." ”

Fang Yingzhi on the side also said: "Master, if you defeat the wandering militia, you can tidy up this hundreds of miles of wasteland, and it is possible to recruit tens of thousands of wanderers." As soon as these words came out, Fang Juren's eyes suddenly lit up, the current season has not passed, only in a month to defeat the militia, then this hundreds of miles of wasteland, but the surname Fang, he and this nephew have never been very close, the official who carried him is still recommended by Wu Chuanyu, but this nephew suddenly said in his heart.

Fang Yinglong and several other Fang family disciples also said: "Don't worry, master, now that thousands of recruits have been trained, it is enough to guard the village." ”

Thinking of this, Fang Juren had already made up his mind, so he stood up and said sternly: "The White Lotus teaches the demons to do evil, so that they can be thousands of miles away from the red land, and this official is the ambassador of the training army, and An can sit idly so that the demons are prestigious, where is the dignity of the court? Zhang Baihu and Hu Zhuangshi, the two of you immediately command the troops, and fight the Tai'an demon soldiers with General Li Shujiao, and give me back a Lang Lang Qiankun and a peaceful world, Zhang Baihu and Hu Zhuangshi, I am waiting for the good news of the two of you. ”

The two of them were overjoyed, and they both said: "I will definitely live up to the trust of Lord Fang." ”

After the group went down, Fang Juren called the servant and said, "Please come to Lord Geng Ruji." ”

Not long after, Geng Ruji was wearing an official robe, and when he arrived at the door, Fang Juren got up, personally arrived at the door, and welcomed him in. ”

When Geng Ruji heard this, he was overjoyed, got up and bowed down, and said: "Brother Fang is really a gentleman who believes in people, Geng Ruji thanked Brother Fang for his great kindness on behalf of 100,000 people in Tai'an." ”

Fang Juren supported Geng Ruji and said: "Why quote this, if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about its monarch, the height of the temple, and the people, I am already far away, and I can't do my part in the court, only in this way can I live up to the emperor's grace." ”

Geng Ruji's face was a little uncomfortable, worried that if he continued to talk about the topic of party contention, he could be regarded as a member of the martial arts, so he intended to say something else, and after a while of talking, Geng Ruji said goodbye and left.

Fang Liping came out of the screen behind her and said softly: "Brother, tell the truth, do you have the heart to recover?"

Fang Juren stroked his beard and said: "Sister, I will tell you the truth, the direction of the wind is uncertain, it is not appropriate to just stand on one side, although the orthodox Qingliu is a temporary success, but Prince Wu and Wei's husband are not so easy to fall, in the future, in case the Qingliu falls, I want to give Geng Ruji's kindness today, he will not fail to say a word, and the second several generals are also telling the truth, they have laid down Tai'an, and they will definitely fight our family village, and they will send troops to the side." “

Fang Liping said: "It's good that my brother has made up his mind." “

I went to see the families of several soldiers who were going to go on the expedition, and Fang Judao: "It's okay, there is Sister Lao." ”

At that moment, Fang Liping went to visit the families of several generals who went on the expedition, including Wu Chuanyu's nominal wife.

Fang Liping took a few servants to visit the families of several soldiers who were about to go on the expedition, and immediately walked outside Wu Chuanyu's courtyard, and saw Shui Mingfu with a big belly, who was talking to Mother Long, only to hear Shui Mingfu say: "Mother Long, have you heard the news?"

I only heard Mother Long say: "Mrs. Hu, I have inquired, then after Lord Li Wenhong lost the Qingzhou Mansion, he is now living in the governor's yamen, and he has nothing to do?"

Shui Ming said happily: "So, he wasn't beheaded because of the loss of land?"

Mother Long said: "No, I heard that the governor Cui Daren was guaranteed a meritorious service for him, but he was dismissed from his post and not killed." ”

Shui Mingto's face was overjoyed and said, "Do you know any way to contact him?"

Mother Long said: "Mrs. Hu, this is difficult, now that the army is in chaos and the road is impassable, how can you contact it." Shui Mingfu listened, was slightly disappointed, and said, "That's nothing, you just go down." Mom went down in response, and when she arrived at the door, she saw Fang Liping at the door.

Fang Liping walked in slowly and talked with Shui Ming's mother.

The next day, Fangjiazhuang, Wu Chuanyu, Zhang Jiayu and Fangjiazhuang led a cadre of Zhuang soldiers with 1,500 Zhuang soldiers, and the Liao soldiers also had more than 2,000 people, but they were all cavalry, one person and two horses, and now the soldiers and horses were combined, and the barracks were suddenly much stronger.

Li Shu's teaching book does not look down on Zhuang soldiers and townsmen, but after seeing the equipment of these Zhuang soldiers, there is also a little surprise, these Zhuang soldiers and townsmen, with a calmness on their faces that only those who have fought in battle, and 1,500 people drove out of Zhuangzi in only half an hour, which is an extremely strong organizational ability.

He even saw more than a dozen siege bed crossbows, and there was a team of strong archers behind, Li Shujiao originally wanted to see these township brave generals, he thought that these township brave generals just wanted to share the merits, and when he saw the morale of the other party's queue, he understood why Geng Ruji asked for soldiers in this Fang Yuanhua at the expense of face, although this Fang Yuanhua was just a person, hanging an empty title of a training ambassador, but he didn't expect that the energy was so big.

At that moment, Li led the teaching to the left and right: "I want to personally meet the general who leads the township soldiers, you wait to come with me." "Several of his subordinates have followed thousands, it is Li Chengen, Li Chengzhi, and Li Chenglu and others, the Liao soldiers are recruited by the battalion, different from the soldiers of the government guards to which Zhang Jiayu belongs, one recruits athletes, and the other is hereditary.

At the moment, the two groups of people met at the camp gate, Geng Ruji also accompanied Wu Chuanyu, Zhang Jiayu, Fang Yingzhi and others, Geng Ruji introduced the two parties, the two sides saw the number of etiquette, divided the guest of honor, and entered the big tent, so lively, this group of people are hot-blooded men, and they get along well.

Among the people here, Li led the highest official position, although Zhang Jiayu was conceited, but his official position in the court was only a hundred households, and he would not grab the right to command.

Li Shujiao said: "At present, our army is only under the fast horse from Tai'an, only one day away, in order to prevent the demon soldiers from knowing the news of our army, our army did not send a horse to explore, only a little bit of the opponent's strength is not less than 50,000 people, all besieged outside the city of Tai'an. ”

Li Chengen said: "My lord, we should take every step of the way, be careful, the militia is powerful, after all, there are as many as 50,000 people, and it should not be underestimated." ”

On the other side, several other generals also joined in.

Wu Chuanyu said: "General Li, we have fought several battles with the militia, and we know the reality of the militia, and the people who dare to fight in the militia are only one pacesetter in armor, not more than 5,000 in number, and they are distributed all over the place, so Hu Quan, Deng Dezhi, Lao Huihui and others also divided these 5,000 armor pacesetters into several shares, more than 1,000 people, less than 100 people, it is not enough to be afraid." ”

Zhang Jiayu said: "The so-called 50,000 horses, I am afraid that there are only 1,000 people who can fight in formation, and the others are called dare to die light soldiers, and they have been defeated several times by our family Zhuang soldiers. ”

Li said: "How about the two of you?"

Zhang Jiayu looked left and right, and said: "The general's cavalry suddenly attacked when our army fought with the militia, and the militia could be defeated. ”

Li Shujiao said with a smile: "If there is a frontal battle, my cavalry has not come out, and the Fangjiazhuang soldiers have been defeated, what will happen?"

Fang Yinglong, who had never exited, suddenly said loudly: "Under the military order, please behead us and other people who lead the troops." "Fang Yinglong hated the militia very much in the soldiers, it turned out that all the Ninth Killer Team under his command were killed in battle, he adopted more than ten children, and also supported several old people, all of whom were the family members of the same team of Pao Ze who died in battle.

Li Shu taught: "In the military tent, don't talk nonsense. He saw Fang Yinglong sitting down at the bottom and knew if he could call the shots.

Zhang Jiayu and Wu Chuanyu glanced at each other, and said: "The general can rest assured, we will definitely attack the enemy head-on, so that the general can flank the enemy's formation." ”

Li Shu taught: "Okay, then that's it, Li Chengen, Li Chenglu, Li Chengzhi, you and others will immediately detect the enemy's situation, go to the city of Tai'an one day, and then fight a decisive battle with the demon soldiers, and solve the siege of Tai'an in one battle." ”

The generals roared up, all saying: "Oh"

At this time, not far from the north of Tai'an, the militia battalion in the direction of Licheng is another sub-camp of the militia, on the banner at the gate of the camp, hanging: the word "left", it is the camp of Zuo Mingyu of the White Lotus Sect, Zuo Mingyu is also a general under Hu Quan, it was raised after the last war, at that time with the officers and soldiers, he was a pacesetter in armor, because he cut down the banner of the officers and soldiers, and now he is divided into unified troops and horses, guarding the north of Licheng.

In addition, there are two battalions, namely the barracks of Lao Huihui and Guotianliang, the three battalions total about 10,000 people, although the armor is not even, but the number is enough, plus Zuo Mingyu's subordinates have commanded five hundred elite armor pacesetters, and according to the terrain, it is also very appropriate.

A team of armored pacesetters rode into the camp, and Hu Quan's general order came, and Zuo Mingyu heard the general's order, asking him to go to the north to aid Deng Dezhi and ordering him to attack on the same day.

After Zuo Mingyu sent away the team of armor pacesetters, he sent someone to invite Guo Tianliang and Lao Huihui, these two people are old men of the color boy, although the war is not good, but the roots are Miao Hong, although Hu Quan knows that these two people will only rush to kill, but he does not dare not divide the army into two people, but these two people seem to be divided into more than 3,000 soldiers, but there is no armor pacesetter, Hu Quan will all send the armor pacesetters to Zuo Mingyu.

Soon the two arrived, Zuo Mingyu didn't dare to hold it up, these two people went straight to the color boy, if they talked nonsense in front of the color boy, then they would be done, especially Guo Tianliang, this person was originally a big thief in Qidi, he dedicated his sister-in-law to the color boy, so he became the commander of the army.

The two of them arrived at the barracks together, and as soon as they sat down, they saw a person appear behind the screen, and the two shouted, "Hu Haima, why are you here?" ”

It turned out that Hu Haima was in the middle of the team of armor pacesetters just now, and he didn't expect him to be here, and Se Gongzi sent him to Zuo Mingyu's army, just to make him make meritorious service again.

Hu Haima laughed miserably: "Gongzi Dag, Hu Dashuai originally wanted to behead me, the Lord is benevolent, spare my life, and order me to serve in front of General Zuo's tent." ”

Zuo Mingyu said: "General Hu, you have been fighting with Fangjiazhuang Zhuang for a long time, do you know their combat strength?"

The three of them are north of Fangjiazhuang, the former Hu Haima commanded the army to attack Fangjiazhuang, and returned defeated, only to be spared, his soldiers and horses were lost, it is this person who knows the combat power of Fangjiazhuang Zhuang soldiers best, and the three generals are stationed here, but also to prevent Fang's soldiers from attacking.

Hu Haima said: "That side of the soldiers, the combat power is by no means under the border soldiers, and trained into a kind of killer team, advance and retreat as well, the battle is not chaotic, look at our soldiers, non-concentrated Hu Dashuai's armor pacesetters can not defeat it, only afraid of the wild waves, my Holy Sect ordinary soldiers are not opponents." ”

Lao Hui replied: "It's not that you lost the battle, so you exaggerated the opponent's combat strength." ”

Zuo Mingyu said: "And stay, Gongzi sent an order, ordering me to lead troops to help Deng Dezhi in Zibo, now I will send troops, planning to aid Deng with General Guotianliang, the old Hui general, you want to guard here alone, but you have to defend well, you have to be alone in the north, so Hu Haima is called in, and explain to you the combat power of Fangjiazhuang."

Lao Hui replied: "You guys, I don't believe that this Zhuang soldier can come to attack, Hu Haima is afraid that he will lose the battle and exaggerate the opponent's combat strength." When Hu Haima heard this, a look of loss appeared on his face, and he was speechless.

Zuo Mingyu said: "That's it, everyone has dispersed, early tomorrow morning, our department and General Guo Tianliang will bypass Mount Tai, and then reinforce Deng Dezhi's department." "Now they each went back to camp and prepared to go.
