The courtyard is not big, but the pressure it brings to Wang Chengwu is not small.
It was very quiet inside and outside, and no one could be seen. However, Wang Chengwu subconsciously felt that the people inside had an unprecedented aura. This was purely an intuitive feeling.
"Sir, Lord Wang is here." Heliande's "Sir Wang" title made Wang Chengwu's whole body feel hot, as if he had eaten the ginseng fruit of Immortal Zhenyuan. His entire internal organs suddenly became transparent from top to bottom, with 36,000 pores.
I suddenly felt relaxed and felt comfortable everywhere. The next step I stepped out, I actually felt a little swaying.
I am an adult too? Really?
Wang Chengwu couldn't help but bite the tip of his tongue, trying to use the tingling sensation to wake himself up. He was about to meet a noble person, and if he said the wrong thing, it would be a sin that he would regret for the rest of his life.
"Oh, he's here, let him in." A clear and pure voice came out, which surprised Wang Chengwu a little at how young the voice was, and a little indescribably excited, he was finally "mocking Tianyan".
Lowering his head and folding his arms, Wang Chengwu took a deep breath and stepped in. The door was open, like a study room. From the corner of his eye, he could see the books and paper labels placed on the desk. Wang Chengwu did not dare to neglect and knelt down on one knee.
"Caomin Wang Chengwu has met the adults."
"Get up. There is no need to be so polite. A man has gold at his knees. A warrior who has won a battle should be treated like this. Sit down."
Feng Ziying was also looking at this person who had no reputation in history. Maybe there was no such person at all, but in this time and space, he jumped out, but these are not important.
Wang Chengwu imitated the saying in the opera: he looked at his nose and nose, his eyes were drooping, and he stood up but did not move.
Feng Ziying was a little funny. This Wang Ermazi's enthusiasm for being an official was really extraordinary. It was best this way. With such motivation, he wouldn't be afraid that he wouldn't work hard in the war.
"Sit down." Feng Ziying said again.
Heliande then gave Wang Chengwu a hint, "Sir Wang, if I ask you to sit down, just sit down and talk."
After receiving Heliande's reminder, Wang Chengwu sat down stiffly, with his hands on his knees and his butt half tilted, ready to stand up and reply at any time.
Heliande felt embarrassed when he saw this, but then he thought about it, wasn't it the same when he and his group met Master Feng before? Not to mention Wang Chengwu, a leader of the rebel army with a rough background.
"You don't have to be so formal. I came to you just to have a good talk with you." Feng Ziying seemed very calm and her tone was gentle and indifferent, which gradually calmed Wang Chengwu's anxiety.
"Returning to your lord, the ordinary people were ignorant before. Fortunately, Lord Helian reminded me that they came to regret it. Now with your guidance, I can make some small contributions, and the ordinary people are grateful." Wang Chengwu's eloquent words were also in the account.
After training for a long time, I was stammering, but I finally shook it off clearly.
"No one is a sage, and who can have no faults? Now that General Wang can find his way back, it is not too late." Feng Ziying said with a smile: "The current crisis in Wubao County has not been completely reversed, and it still faces the risk of subsequent foreign enemy attacks from the north.
, This is also the purpose of recruiting General Wang. I wonder what General Wang thinks about this?"
Wang Chengwu already knew about the two rebel teams heading towards Wubao County from the north. They used to be Austrian aid, but now they have become the biggest threat, directly threatening his future destiny.
Liu Dingfeng also told him the origins of Boyan Village and Baitang Village. He also knew very well that the group of people under his command were definitely incompetent in terms of combat effectiveness. The main force was composed of Yulin deserters and rebels.
The soldiers and horses in the surrounding fortresses are comparable, but this battle is unavoidable.
Wang Chengwu has no intention of avoiding it. If he gives up at this time, his prestige in front of Lord Long Jinwei will be suddenly lost, his impression will be greatly reduced, and he may even become increasingly marginalized like Gu Xiuzhong now. This is something Wang Chengwu will never tolerate.
of.
"Boyan Village and Baitang Village had less than a thousand people before setting off from Suide. Among them, cavalry accounted for more than 70%, and the rest were mainly mounted infantry. If it is such an army with strong mobility and strict military discipline, we will fight in the field
Even if we win with one or two more men and horses than him, we are still likely to fail, because our men and horses are far less well-trained than the opponent."
Wang Chengwu was very calm and stated his side's weaknesses without hesitation.
Feng Ziying had no expression and just nodded slightly, indicating to the other party to continue.
"But Mr. Liu also told me before that they attracted a large number of small groups of rebels and disaster victims who joined them along the way. It is said that after Suide, the number increased to nearly 2,000 troops. Now they have captured Yihe City?" Wang Chengwu's mood
Slowly calming down, his eyes became hot, "It is said that after they learned that we had eliminated the Waotian Banner, they stopped at Yihe City to reorganize their army?"
Feng Ziying didn't expect that the other party actually knew the news. He hadn't asked Liu Dingfeng and Heliande to tell the other party the news. This guy was probably timid, but it didn't look like him.
"My lord, please don't be suspicious. This is the news obtained by the grassroots themselves." Seeing that Feng Ziying was suspicious, Wang Chengwu quickly said: "My subordinates also have some friends in Suide, and they have been communicating with each other..."
"Oh?" Feng Ziying became interested and nodded with a smile, "It seems that I saw the right person, please continue."
"To be honest with you, when the grassroots rebelled and brought a group of people from Qingcaowu to attack Wubao City, they actually got the news from Suide, saying that the people in Boyan Village and Baitang Village could not survive.
After going down, we fought with the surrounding forts several times due to food problems, with each other winning and losing. Now we are reuniting and preparing to go south to find a way out. Suide and Jiazhou dare not go. Mizhi is too powerful and may be captured at any time.
The Yulin Army is getting reinforcements, so the most likely possibility is that they will come to Wubao to beg for food..."
"Your line also goes from the border fortresses in the area bordering Yulin Town in the north of Suide?" Feng Ziying asked carefully, "I don't see that your contacts are broad."
He did not expect that Wang Chengwu, a scoundrel from Qingjian, would actually have contacts with Suide.
You must know that it is normal for people in this era to stay at home and never leave the county in their entire life. Moreover, the intelligence collected from the early stage shows that this guy initially led his troops to Yanchuan.
The one who fled back to Qingjian after Bian was defeated should have been in contact with Nan Bian'er, but why did he get connected with Suide again?
"Sir, the common people were ignorant when they were young, so they liked to make friends and wander around. At the age of fourteen, they went out with others, sold private salt, worked as a postman, worked as a boatman, and even went to Huichengzi and Baichengzi to sell sheepskins.
,…”
Wang Chengwu glanced at the young man sitting above him who was too young. Seeing that he had a curious expression on his face and no other abnormalities, he felt more at ease in his heart. "Every time I go back and forth, I have contact with those forts in the north of Suide, like
We have dealt with Liushu Village, Yuerhe Village, Tumen Village, Mahe Village, Big Rabbit Falcon Village, and Boluosi Village, and private salt has also been sold to these places..."
"No wonder." Feng Ziying felt that she still had too little information about Wang Chengwu. These information were very important, but she knew nothing about them before. If Wang Chengwu had something to do with the people from Boyan Village and Baitang Village, then what would happen?
It is a serious problem, but it seems not yet. "So you are very familiar with these forts, and you also know Boyan Village and Baitang Village very well?"
But it's not the fault of Liu Dingfeng and the others. They were not specifically interested in this kind of rice. They were summoned temporarily by Li Guibao and the others before. Being able to grasp so many situations in such a short period of time is already commendable.
Besides, if Wang Chengwu didn't tell the story about Wang Chengwu himself, or if the old brothers who followed him didn't tell others about it, I'm afraid not many people would know that he had sold private salt in Suide and went out of the border wall to go to the Mongols.
side.
Baichengzi and Huichengzi are the territories of the Tumut people, just outside the border wall of Yulin Town in the Hetao area, but now they are mainly controlled by Su Nangtaiji. Feng Ziying's original counterinsurgency in Ningxia was more related to the west.
There are more interactions with the lost rabbit.
"I have also been to Boyan Village and Baitang Village, but I am not familiar with them. Among these forts, the ones that the grassroots are more familiar with are Big Rabbit Falcon Village and Boluosi Village. They are in the west, and next to Boyan Village and Boluosi Village in the east.
Of the people in Baitang Village, only Yuerhe Village is familiar, but Yuerhe Village, Boyan Village, and Baitang Village have always been at odds with each other and are old enemies." Wang Chengwu said honestly: "The news from the grassroots came from Yuerhe Village.
.”
"Yu'er Hezhai is not small, right? I have an impression." Feng Ziying asked in a deep voice: "Why didn't they go south? Are they still living a good life? Aren't they all suffering from disasters?"
"It's not that good either. Boyan Village and Baitang Village should be the two strongest among the dozen or so villages in the north of Suide. The number of people in both villages exceeds 3,000, and as far as I know there are more
Hundreds of Mongolians who came from Hetao also joined them, so the number of people including the old, weak, women and children was quite large. The total number of people in the two forts could be seven or eight thousand, but those who could truly be called elites and could go out to fight.
There won’t be more than a thousand people, so this time only eight or nine hundred people can be gathered to go south.”
Wang Chengwu patiently explained that of course he would not hide anything from this noble Shangguan.
"For example, Yu'er Hezhai is much smaller, with a population of less than 2,500, and the number of elites that can be gathered to fight is only 200 or 300. If the war is fought around it, it is estimated that there will be a little more than 100 or 200 people, but it will take hundreds of people to go south.
They were worried that if they really wanted to go south, they would not have enough men and horses. If they were to encounter an army attack or an attack from other villages on the road, it would be very dangerous. So before, they were still looking for someone willing to join us.
There are other villages going south, but the grassroots people have not received any other news yet."
