The news came earlier than Liu Chengzong expected.
Fu Renxi left and returned half a day later, bringing news about Fenzhou Wei.
"General, Zhang Zhan, the commander of the Fenzhou Guard Left Command, sent someone to ask me about my situation. He wants me to ask for help so that the Fenzhou Guard Flag Army can cross the border. What should I do?"
This news did not make Liu Chengzong happy or scared, but brought deep suspicion. He asked: "They received the news so quickly?"
He knows very well that he is not a famous general in ancient times and is not qualified to talk about strategy and tactics.
Even if there is another memory, all that memory can provide is a far-sighted vision for the future. If you really act according to that memory, you will die within two steps.
After all, he is a character who cannot even coordinate 25 people to play a dungeon.
But that memory still gave him a strong talent for calculation.
In the most basic work, a large number of complex calculations are made simple by him.
The Fenzhou Guard is in Fenyang, which is more than a hundred miles away from here, and has to pass through the Luliang Mountains in the middle. Even if someone sees the smoke and reports there, they have not yet passed the Luliang Mountains. How could Fu Renxi be here?
Have you contacted Fenzhou Wei?
Li Bei per capita?
He doesn't believe it.
But because he didn't believe it, Fu Renxi said: "The Fenzhou Guard's Zuo Commander is stationed at Shilou. It seems that he sent someone to sneak across the border a few days ago."
Liu Chengzong thought for a moment and mentally compared this information with the information about the woman rescued from the Yantou Mountain bandits.
The two women left and came back, saying that their home had been looted by thieves and then burned down by the officers and soldiers. It was assumed that it was the Fenzhou Guards officers who did it.
These people haven't left yet and are still stationed at Shilou.
It seems that he is addicted to looting.
"They want to cross the border. For that box of gold, you can let them cross the border and ask for help. But they have to ask for help from the Fenzhou Guard. Tell them that I have many people and I have to pull the entire Fenzhou Guard over."
Unexpectedly, when Liu Chengzong said these words, Fu Renxi was shocked and said: "General, this is absolutely not possible. I don't know what the situation is in Shaanxi, but in Shanxi, the Weisuo Banner Army is no weaker than the frontier army."
Isn’t the guard flag army weaker than the border army?
Is this possible?
Yang Yanchang did not dare to say that his flag army was stronger than the frontier army.
But that's what Fu Renxi said, and he also explained: "The general doesn't know that Fenzhou Guard is different from other guards. It was originally just a guard station for thousands of households. In Chenghua year, it was promoted to Fenzhou Guard Station.
The two offices on the left and right were changed to the Qingcheng and Yonghe two palaces, and they all have commanders. Until now, they are still close to the east and west offices of Fenyang."
"The palace is not nice to them, but they are indeed better than us in terms of food."
Cowardly or not, the frontier troops did not eat as much as the banner troops at the Guards Station.
Thinking like this in his heart, Liu Chengzong was not a arrogant person. He made a mental calculation for a moment and said to Renxi: "In that case, you can send a message to Shilou saying that I am many and weak and can be easily defeated, but...
He will flee in all directions and ask him to find seven to eight hundred people besides Zuo Suo to come and help."
Liu Chengzong stayed here because he wanted to gather around and call for reinforcements.
His people have investigated the road conditions clearly, and there is only one road from Yonghe County to Pingyang Prefecture from the east to Xizhou.
After passing Xizhou, you have to choose one of the three mountain roads in the north, middle and south of Luliang Mountain, leading to the Fenhe Plain.
There are many roads, but Liu Chengzong actually has no choice.
The north road goes to Fenyang, the middle road goes to Huozhou, and the south road reaches Linfen.
The Fenzhou Guard is in Fenyang, and the Pingyang Guard is stationed in Linfen.
These two guard posts decided not to enter Huozhou rashly, otherwise they would be attacked from the north and south on the plains; and the road from Fenyang to Xizhou can go further west to Yonghe County; but there is no second mountain road to go around Linfen
Behind him.
Therefore, if you want to go to Linfen, you must first defeat the Fenzhou Guard in the northeast; if you want to go to Fenyang, you must first defeat the Pingyang Guard.
There is no need for total annihilation, as long as most of the troops can be annihilated at once and the remaining troops dare not fight in the field, this will be done.
Not to mention, Fu Renxi is very considerate and will not consider issues for the Fenzhou Guard from the perspective of an officer or soldier.
Fu Renxi's ancestors were guarding the border for four generations. His grandfather died in Korea, his grandfather died in Korea, and his father died in Liaodong.
Only in his generation did he finally become the general manager.
But he wanted to go to Liaodong and didn't want to guard this unpopular pass.
For a long time Fu Renxi has been confused about how to achieve his ideal.
If you want to go to Liaodong, you must have capable soldiers. If you want to have capable soldiers, you only need to feed your subordinates. If you want your subordinates to be fed, you must loot the people.
However, his subordinates who looted the people were no longer capable soldiers. With Zhang Honggong's precedent, they would still mutiny even if they arrived in the capital after being well fed.
Fu Renxi lay flat, and there was nothing he could do until Chengyun opened his door that night.
The two exchanged cups. The cup was filled with coarse tea foam, but what Cheng Yun said opened a new door for him.
The officers and soldiers cannot rob rich families. Even if they rob the people, they still won't have enough to eat, but thieves can.
The bandits robbed him of a little bit. Counting half of the food and grass allocated by the court, wouldn't his soldiers be full?
But this will make him confused, so what should I do?
People can't live just for the sake of food. Although it is important to have enough food, Fu Renxi can actually always have enough to eat. It's just that his soldiers don't have enough to eat, so the soldiers have no ideals. He has.
He doesn't fight the bandits, he just eats and rests, rests for the rest of his life, and returns to his hometown to live leisurely, what's the point.
Chengyun said: Isn’t this simple?
The Liu family has experience in this kind of thing.
They even laid out one, two, three, four. First, destroy the local administrative agencies; then destroy the post stores for communication; then form an organic system to annihilate the government and army; and finally lose to Fu Renxi.
Isn’t that just human heads? Are human heads a problem?
Fu Renxi never dreamed that the problems that had troubled him all winter would be easily solved by a young man from Yan'an Prefecture.
If you want to go to Liaodong, I will send you to become a general.
When you become a general, you are not allowed to serve in Jizhen?
I can’t deny the opportunity to fight Donglu.
Fu Renxi thinks it's okay, and he has been dissatisfied with Mr. Huo for a long time.
Which of my sergeants is not more valuable than your corpse? Why should you, the bastard, be well-dressed and well-fed, but he can’t afford to mess with you?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
No way.
Now that someone wants to provoke someone, Fu Renxi will do anything to add fuel to the fire.
In Shilou County, north of Yonghe County, the banner army from Fenzhou Weizuo Qianhu Station in the deserted village was divided into four villages.
Zhang Zhan, the commander of the Zuo command, was giving lectures to thousands and hundreds of households under his command.
Each of Fenzhou Guard's three stations has a commander. During the Chenghua period, Zhang Zhan's ancestor reached the highest position of Shanxi Dusidu, commanding Qianshi. Later, he was reported for using military comrades and was demoted to the left commander.
.
After so many years, Zuo's commander has always been the Zhang family.
I have never made any mistakes and been reported, nor have I made any meritorious service to the court.
Let's make do.
But in recent years, I can no longer make do.
In fact, it's the same as Fu Renxi's theory. If you can't survive, you have to find someone to rely on. A stone from a mountain can attack a jade. Others can solve things that you can't solve.
At the same time, you can also solve problems that others cannot.
For example, with the expansion of Wangfuzhuang's land, if the landowner does not want to sell his land while he is alive, wouldn't it be enough if he dies?
In order to survive, do your bannermen have to act like ghosts?
No shivers.
But in the past two days, Zhang Zhan has been very angry.
He lost contact with Yatoushan's men.
They were a group of outsiders from the Fenzhou Wei Zuo Institute. People like them, Zhang Zhan had several other groups.
It is composed of idle thieves, bandits, robbers, and hooligans from all over the country. Although they are a real mob, they all have tricks in Zhang Zhan's hands, which are very easy to use.
Their greatest advantage is that they keep their mouth shut. Even if they are caught by the government, they dare not reveal their connection with Fenzhou Guards.
They, Fenzhou Guards, and Qingcheng Palace formed a huge spider web entrenched in Fenzhou Palace.
This matter has changed since last winter. Many reinforcements from the incoming guards fled back and formed various gangs to operate in various parts of Shanxi.
It stands to reason that these gangs should create greater convenience for the Fenzhou Guard's actions, but Zhang Zhan doesn't care. The local government poses no threat to him.
On the contrary, these thieves will steal their food and even threaten the Wangzhuang of Prince Qingcheng's Mansion.
The soldiers he sent to Yatou Mountain to observe the situation came back, but failed to bring back the information about Yatou Mountain. Instead, they brought back the news that Huojiazhuang was besieged by bandits and lit up the smoke.
Mr. Huo from Huojiazhuang... Zhang Zhan has some impressions. He worked as an official in Yangzhou for several years. When he returned to his hometown, he didn't like people here or there, so he found a fucking hill to hide in every day.
Why are you coming back if you don't like the ability? Just stay in Yangzhou.
Quite a fool, Zhang Zhan doesn't like that kind of stuff anyway.
I haven't found any news about Yatou Mountain now, but it wouldn't be bad to get information about Huojiazhuang being surrounded.
After all, he was an official in Yangzhou for several years, and his family had a lot of money.
The thief may not be able to break down his fortress, but Zhang Zhan can!
"Listen to me. When you get to Huojiazhuang, first deal with the gang of thieves who came out of nowhere. When you get back, tell the flag soldiers under your command to restrain them all."
Zhang Zhan glanced at the hundreds of households under his command with a majestic gaze: "Don't show that kind of virtue that is more like a robber. Let Mr. Huo know that the Fenzhou Guard Zuo Station will never commit any crime."
One hundred households asked: "General, Du Qiu has done nothing wrong, so why do you care about Huojiazhuang? I heard that Mr. Huo is very stingy. Even if he is a thief, he will not give us anything." Zhang Zhan was deeply worried about his subordinates' brains: "What do you want? You are innocent. I don't expect people to put me in the high wall of Huojiabao. Why don't you use your head to break through the fortress?"
After saying this, hundreds of households suddenly realized that it turned out that the commander was not saying that there would be no faults in the real autumn, but that there would be no faults in the temporary autumn.
Zhang Zhan counted the time and slept in the village for half the night. Chen Qianhu, who came from the Fenzhou Guard, arrived with his troops. His troops reached more than 1,700, and then he asked hundreds of households to share the persimmons with the banner army.
.
Persimmon cakes are something that people in Xizhou offer to the Kitchen God during the Chinese New Year, but they just happened to snatch them away.
Perhaps in this complicated historical period, everyone who leads the army has his own self-confidence.
For Zhang Zhan, he never considered the strength of the thieves besieging Huojiabao.
He had participated in martial arts competitions in Shanxi and knew something about the Xuanda border troops. The food of those border troops was not a little bit worse than that of his banner army.
In fighting, discipline and morale are the most important, but these two things can only be mentioned when you are full.
These days, it’s already amazing to be able to think about these two things.
Thief, can a thief be full?
Can a thief talk about discipline?
Zhang Zhan didn’t believe it.
Before dawn the next day, the 1,700 banner troops from Fenyang Guard put away their flags and set off on the road. They were sixty miles away from Huojiazhuang, but they were not in a hurry.
From the village, we passed through Shishili Mountain and entered Yonghe County via the Gejia River, grabbing a village along the way.
This time they didn't set a fire. They killed all the men the first day and slept all night. They also killed the women the next day.
Hearing people screaming and running away, Zhang Zhan felt very sorry in his heart. Looking at the bloody corpses on the ground, he said: "If you want to blame it, blame the thieves in Huojiabao. If it hadn't been for them, I wouldn't have come."
After a night's rest, the whole team's morale was high and they continued to march towards Huojiazhuang.
Although Zhang Zhan was extremely confident in his heart, he was still very careful on the approach and sent out sentries thirty miles apart. However, it was not until he was five miles away from Huojiazhuang that he finally saw the thief sentries.
The thief cavalry sentries did not dare to fight them, so they threw away their helmets and flags and ran towards the valley to the south and west.
After receiving the report from the outpost, Zhang Zhan looked at the red-lacquered Yong-character helmet captured by the sentry and showed a confident smile.
Is this the level?
The army immediately divided into two groups. Chen Qianhu led his army from the flanking mountain road to attack the rear route of the bandit soldiers. He sent troops on foot to cross the mountain to contact the Yonghe Pass guard general Fu Renxi, and then personally led his troops to slowly press forward from the front towards the valley.<
/p>
"General, the main force of the Fenzhou Guard has passed the mountain pass where the outpost is hidden, and is advancing to the north of the rear post. It has sent a partial division to detour from the north of the mountain, and the central post is guarding the mountain pass over there."
Tangqi captain Wei Qian'er held back his anger and reported to Liu Chengzong on the mountain: "All my people have retreated. They have killed all the villages in the north."
Wei Qian'er's Tangqi traveled fifty miles and was delivering information to Liu Chengzong in Huojiabao every moment, including last night.
Although the members of the Tangqi team are not from the frontier army, their opponents are the Weisuo Banner Army. They have no fear, and they have experienced battles with Li Bei. They are already brave characters with high skills.
Recently, Zhang Zhan's sentry set up a sentinel in the mountains. Wei Qian'er had a Tang soldier who was at the foot of the sentry and had no time to evacuate. He squatted for half a night without being discovered, and finally slipped away during the change of defense.
Zhang Zhan's troops were almost completely exposed to Liu Chengzong's eyes.
They were walking into the valley step by step, with Yang Yao leading his troops behind; Wang Wenxiu leading his troops in the middle, and Feng Yu and Cao Yao waiting for them at the end.
Liu Chengzong was planning outside Huojiazhuang, gesticulating back and forth against the sketch he had drawn, and finally came to the conclusion: "It seems that the enemy's partial division will collide with the middle post first, and then pass by the ambush of the rear post. Wei Qian'er went to convey the order."
."
"Ask Chengyun to be optimistic about Yonghe Pass, Commander Feng will lead troops to support Commander Wang, engage the officers and soldiers in advance, kill the main force first, and then outflank the partial divisions."
He turned to Gao Xian, who had been waiting for a long time, and said, "Brother Gao, it's up to you to block the earthen fence of the old Huo family."
Later, he led his troops and Cao Yao to move to the Shannan Highlands, where the sergeants of the battalion's artillery posts were hiding.
It is a dangerous place where you can bombard the valley, and you can have a panoramic view of the entire battlefield.
Soon, the sound of armies fighting was heard three miles away in the north.
Liu Chengzong and Cao Yao looked at each other and could see the excitement in each other's eyes. Fenzhou Guard's Zuo Suo... was gone.
