"It's not as complicated as you think. I will let them go without hitting them."
"Why"
"Nani"
Lin Yueru and Taozi were both shocked. What kind of plane was the master doing? Don't fight the enemy when it comes, just let him go.
"At this time, everyone in the town had retreated. The town was already empty. They arrived too late. They couldn't even catch a single hair. There was no point in fighting or not."
Seeing that they were still petrified, Yang Fan had no choice but to continue explaining: "When their large army has passed, their baggage team will follow after half an hour. This is the usual practice, and this march time difference is the most appropriate. By the time they arrive,
At that time, we attacked their baggage train and burned their baggage train.”
Lin Yueru understood a little at this time.
"I want to cut off their escape route, but if they lose their luggage, they can replenish it nearby. Tongzhou is a big granary."
Lin Yueru opened her watery eyes in confusion.
"You only know one, but not the other. We, the Ming Dynasty, have a rule that on the first day when guest troops arrive at the local area, the local government is not responsible for providing food and wages. Although it is only for one day, it is enough to do a lot of things."
Lin Yueru lowered her head and thought, feeling that Yang Fan had a big plan. It was not as simple as covering the retreat.
"The master wants to test the reality of the capital city and see the reaction speed and true strength of all parties."
Yang Fan nodded with satisfaction. Lin Yueru and Xiao Niangpi were both gifted, and their brains were very useful. Moreover, they were very smart, and they were close friends. They must be the people who knew him best in the world.
The two of them can basically figure out their own connections and are inseparable.
Yang Fan just hoped that there would be no scheming in his backyard. Otherwise, it would take too much energy.
Yang Fan's approach was to eat and live with the three of them, regardless of each other, so as not to be idle, cause trouble, and attack each other. They were all in front of him, so as not to have fun behind their backs.
"Yes, after I eat their baggage, they will come back to chase me. I will run to Tongzhou first. When I arrive in Tongzhou, I will not give them food and wages on the first day. I will let them starve for a day. Then, I will lead
I will lead them to the Ming Tombs, which are the royal tombs, and they will definitely pursue me."
Lin Yueru burst out laughing and said angrily: "Master, you are too bad. If they catch up to Changping, they will still be guest troops, and we will only let them starve for one more day."
Yang Fan touched his nose in embarrassment and said: "Then I will turn around and go to Nanyuan to set a fire. They will definitely have to chase me towards Wanping City. Wanping will not give them food and wages because it is not appropriate.
Rules. Those civil servants are very good at doing this. They haven't eaten for three days at this time. What do you think they will do, I'd like to see."
Tao Zi was already dumbfounded by this, but she could still be like this.
Lin Yueru suppressed her laughter and said, "If they stay in Wanping for one day, they can always eat the next day."
"No, no, no, what they say doesn't count, what I say counts. The capital camp is in shambles. They definitely dare not leave the city. Now this is the only mobile force outside that can fight. The emperor will definitely use them to death. We
Appearing here, the emperor must be panicking."
"Master, you are not really going to attack the capital, are you?" Lin Yueru looked at Yang Fan in disbelief. This man's thinking always breaks through her cognitive ceiling."
"No need, as long as I appear outside Yongding Gate, or outside any city gate, Your Majesty will have to urgently order them to continue the pursuit. Your Majesty must not know that Ming Dynasty's military law also states that food is not provided locally that day. All they need is
There is no one who is so hungry that he can’t walk and just gives up the pursuit.”
Lin Yueru was also dumbfounded. There was really nothing that his master didn't dare to do.
"I don't mean any harm. This loophole has come out now and can be made up for. If one day the slaves break in, the losses will be huge. The large number of guest troops who come to help will suffer a lot because of this set of bad rules.
.”
Half an hour later, a large group of enemy troops passed through the road in the open area ahead.
Yang Fan looked at it and shook his head. These two troops were said to be the most experienced troops in the frontier army. However, they passed through such an obvious terrain suitable for hiding enemies, so they just walked past without searching carefully.
After the front army passed by, it took another two quarters of an hour for the Chinese army to slowly approach.
Yang Fan sneered. It seemed that they didn't quite believe that there were really a large number of Japanese pirates in Zhangjiawan. Looking at the unhurried attitude, they probably thought it was a small group of bandits attacking.
"The generals are coming out, take a look, do you recognize them?" Yang Fan handed the telescope to Lin Yueru and said as he looked at the five generals riding horses and wearing fine mountain armor.
"Well, let me take a look." Lin Yueru took the telescope and said.
"Haha, it's all hard work. I didn't expect the emperor to take the large-scale Japanese pirate attacks very seriously," Lin Yueru said with a smile.
"The commander in the middle is Dong Jishu, a veteran. He was originally the chief military officer of Gansu Town. He helped organize the army in Xuanfu Town this year. I don't know how he ended up in the capital. I guess he was transferred here by His Majesty."
"Well, looking at his temperament, he looks like a veteran of many battles. What about the people around him?"
"The two on the left are generals. They are both from Xuanfu Town. One is called Meng Ruhu and the other is called Hu Dawei. They are both naturalized Mongolians."
Mengruhu and Hudawei both surrendered to the Ming Dynasty at almost the same time. It is speculated from the existing historical data that they probably came from the Mongolian tribes living near today's Ordos. They were cruel to Mongolia due to drought or Lin Dan Khan's western expedition.
The attack made them unable to survive on the grasslands and they surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
After the two returned to the Ming Dynasty, they were collectively known as the "Second General Meng Hu". Meng Ruhu fought with great bravery. Later, in the early Chongzhen Dynasty, he made outstanding achievements in annihilating the peasant uprising army, and his official position was gradually promoted to the rank of chief military officer.
Both of them were loyal ministers and died in the battle to suppress the bandits.
"Who are the two people on the right?" Yang Fan asked
"The first person on the right is called Zuo Liangyu. He is a subordinate of Governor Yuan. He recently got into trouble and was dismissed from office."
Hey, it's actually him. It's interesting. It turns out that he was born in Liaodong. But now he doesn't look as arrogant as in the history books.
In the first year of Chongzhen (1628), a mutiny broke out in Ningyuan Guards, and the governor Bi Zisu committed suicide. At that time, Zuo Liangyu was appointed as the commander of Liaodong Cheyouying, but he lost his official position because of this incident.
I don’t know how he found a way to become an official in Yanqing.
"The second one on the right is Wang Chengyin. In the past, he was not even qualified to curry favor with his adoptive father, but now he looks like a bitch. Hmph."
"Humph, they are all old athletes, and they are all masters who can do anything. They are either arrogant or Mongolian. I guess they will all chase me like crazy when they see me burning their grain trucks. Haha."
