Chapter 198: City Defense
Suzhou City is in trouble, naturally it is the duty to shirk, Zhou Dong's master and apprentice did not shirk, if he dodged, he would definitely not stand here today. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After taking over this relatively important task, the master and apprentice began to discuss, what to do best, after all, time is running out, if you want to set up a disciplined team, it must be impossible, everyone knows that Rome can not be built in a day, not only training, but simply recruiting them, it is a little difficult. Suzhou City has not been comfortable for a few days, and it may be facing the upcoming war, not only ordinary people, but also people who have less martial arts.
Zhou Dong's master and apprentice first thought of Chao Gai and Wu Yong, followed by Song Jiang and Fang La. The reason is very simple, with their respective connections and reputations, it is far better to be able to attract a lot of people in the rivers and lakes than to shout in the streets and alleys by themselves.
But where are these few people? Usually, Chao Gai, Wu Yong, and Song Jiang come to find them, but this time it is very difficult to find them. I don't know if Zeng Huaizeng knows it or not, judging from the countermeasures they discussed in response to the tragedy, they should know a little bit. So, the master and apprentice hurriedly went to find Master Zeng and explained the situation.
Fortunately, Master Zeng really knew the whereabouts of Chao Gai and Wu Yong, and when he heard Zhou Tong say this, he immediately sent someone to invite Chao Gai and Wu Yong over. The three of them talked about the matter again, and Chao Gai said very happily: "Lord Zeng, this matter will be handed over to us, please rest assured!"
Wu Yong still shook his fan unhurriedly, and said: "This matter is indeed very urgent, I just heard people on the street talk about it, I originally thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be so serious." These people have no court law and do such a rebellious thing. Lord Zeng, have you ever reported this to the imperial court?"
"I've already sent someone to deliver the letter!" Zeng Huai said: "This back and forth, it will take time, and I don't know what the current situation is." Coupled with the fact that the soldiers are now in the city, I wonder if it will be possible for them to stop the news of the capital from coming. ”
"No!" Wu Yong said with certainty: "If they do this, then the court will be completely chaotic, which is equivalent to Cai Jing's gang setting up the emperor, they can do whatever they want, will the emperor allow such a thing to happen today?"
Zhou Dong added: "Judging from the situation they have confronted us today, they will definitely not do this. If they do this, today, all they have to do is to launch a surprise attack, then the destruction of Suzhou City is just around the corner. Therefore, in my eyes, they are just a military general who is slightly more powerful than ordinary people, and as for the art of conspiracy and war, looking at their formation, it is clear. ”
A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Wu Yong's mouth: "According to this situation, then it is very feasible for us to shoot a team of people to harass us now." With the help of Suzhou's topography, after completing an attack each time, do a good job of concealment and containment. ”
Zhou Tong applauded: "The strategy that Mr. said is very good and just what I want, which is why we called you over." Sir, do you have any other good comments and suggestions?"
Wu Yong thought for a moment and said, "I still don't know what their strength is. Although both Master Zeng and you have told me some information, I am not yet able to make a specific analysis. However, the way you think is also very good, the only drawback is that they are Jianghu people and are not used to being restrained. ”
"There are pros and cons to everything!" Zhou Tong said: "They really don't like to be restrained, and in the army, they just don't play cards according to common sense." We just happened to win by surprise, and they would never have imagined that there would be such a team in Suzhou City, with excellent skills and outstanding martial arts, and it is incomprehensible. ”
"What the seniors said is true!" Wu Yong said: "This is indeed a big benefit!"
"Without further ado, let's go and call the Venerable Master first!" Chao Gai said to Wu Yong, then immediately got up and said goodbye to Zeng Huai and Zhou Dong's master and apprentice: "Master Zeng, Senior Zhou, Brother Pang, we say goodbye. ”
After Chao Gai finished speaking, he picked up Wu Yong and walked out of the door, Wu Yong reminded: "Brother, in this matter, we still have to do a good job of concealment, and we have to leak the news!"
"Got it, let's call all the brothers!" Chao Gai said with great interest.
After watching Chao Gai and Wu Yong leave, Zhou Tong said to Zeng Huai: "When it gets dark, adults need to do a good job of fortifications, especially outside the city gate, which can effectively delay and reduce the damage to the city gate of Suzhou." ”
"I know this, but the number of troops in Suzhou City is limited, and I really can't draw many people to do the fortifications. Zeng Huai sighed helplessly.
"If necessary, you can call on the people of Suzhou, if the city gate is broken, it is also what the people say they don't want to see. Zhou Dong said.
Zeng Huai refused: "If they knew that the people helped us build fortifications, and the city would be ruined in the future, I would never agree." ”
Zhou Tong said: "I understand your thoughts, I understand very well, is it possible that Suzhou City will definitely be broken? You are still in the Great Song Dynasty, I think you are definitely not disappointed in Zhao Shijiangshan, right? I want to ask, Lord Zeng, according to what you said, then why do you need to guard this city? Wouldn't it be better if you opened the gate of Suzhou City? What will they think of you, and what does it have to do with the people of Suzhou, does it really have nothing to do with it?"
"This..."Zeng Huai felt irrefutable.
Zhou Tong said: "Only when the soldiers are united can the army exert its greatest combat effectiveness, and if the army and the people are united, then Suzhou City will be unbreakable!"
Zeng Huai lowered his head like a child admitting defeat: "Then, just do as you say!"
Zhou Tong said: "This matter, you still need to work in person, you are the biggest official in Suzhou City, the most weighty, the people of Suzhou have always been only you first, I think, as long as you give an order, call on the people of Suzhou City to build fortifications together, as long as the people of Suzhou City, they will be willing." If we build fortifications outside the city tonight, we will not be able to storm the city when they come tomorrow. In this way, we were given some time to organize the righteous men and friends in the rivers and lakes, and then we dug out a small path, detoured from the small path to the rear, and harassed them to the greatest extent according to the time and place. ”
Zeng Huai sighed again: "Okay, it's just, let me think that the people of Suzhou are really some..."
Zhou Tong said: "I believe that the people of Suzhou will be considerate of you, and this will allow some people with lofty ideals to devote themselves to us and contribute to the defense of Suzhou City." )
