Chapter 678
"The beginning of autumn without rain is an empty autumn, half of all things have been harvested!"

It was the third day after the Beginning of Autumn, but it was still extremely hot and sweltering, the sky was cloudless, and even the water flow of the East River outside Ningyuan City was dwindling due to the presence of large troops.

Looking at the weather of this prodigal family, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but think about the weather. It seems that the harvest may not be too good!

At this time, Yang Guozhu led the general Guo Yingxian to stride forward, and he called him from a distance: "Zhongchen, you guys really have long faces. All the towns sent out sentries, but I, Xuanzhen, captured the Tartars and returned to Shiku. , greatly boosted the morale of our army."

Zhang Cheng hurriedly turned around and cupped his fists to salute: "Shuai Yang, you guys are just lucky. If Marshal Wu's subordinate Ye Bushuo hadn't killed the Tartars first and messed up the situation, how could Erlang take down the Tartars so easily? Wu Shuai should be responsible for this achievement." .”

Guo Yingxian said carelessly: "Hey. Since when did your little brother learn to be humble? The merits of his own family are also brought to the sale!"

Yang Guozhu glared at Guo Yingxian, which made him tremble in fright, and quickly took a step back to go back behind Yang Guozhu.

But Yang Guozhu stood still, looked at Zhang Cheng again for a while, and then said: "Your boy, you are indeed much calmer than when you first came to Beilu. Today is not what it used to be, today is not what it used to be."

As he spoke, he glanced back at Guo Yingxian again, and said: "It's not like this idiot who stabbed his guts to the end and didn't know how to turn. It was not until a few days ago that he was appointed as a general in order to encourage the generals to use their lives before the battle."

Yang Guozhu took Zhang Cheng's hand and walked forward again, saying as he walked: "When King Qin was at the beginning, you were still the commander-in-chief of General Zhang Can, but now you have been ranked among the commander-in-chief in just a few years, which is really extraordinary. .

However, being young and suddenly occupying a high position will inevitably attract jealousy and resentment, so one must be cautious in every way, and not be too arrogant, leaving people talking, which will only cause trouble. "

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng was moved. Among all the people he met since he came to this world, except for his uncle Zhang Yan, it was the old general who cared for him the most.

Although Lu Xiangsheng has the kindness of supporting and nurturing, Hu Dawei also has the friendship of fighting to the death with Julu, but they are all incomparable to Yang Guozhu's love and expectations for him.

Being held by Yang Guozhu with one hand, he couldn't make a fist, so he whispered beside Yang Guozhu, "Zhang Cheng will take Yang Shuai's teachings to heart."

…………

In the lobby of the Jiliao Governor's Office in Ningyuan City, the officials of Liaodong will gather together with the generals of the towns who came to help.

And the next one is just one more person, Ma Shaoyu, who came to join the army in the name of praising military affairs, and he sat under Liaofu Qiu Minyang, and the rest of the officials and generals were all from the previous military discussions .

Everyone first discussed the joint training of the various towns. Since the joint training on June [-]th, they found that the cavalry in Liao Town was the strongest, but the coordination of horse and gait was not as good as that of the soldiers and horses of the towns in Xuanda.

The artillery of the Shenji Battalion is sharp, especially the heavy artillery, but it is not easy to transfer, and it can be used to defend the dangerous places. However, Zhang Cheng's troops are equipped with the most firearms, both offensive and defensive, and the most small artillery. The disadvantage is the horse soldiers. insufficient.

According to the wishes of the generals, the soldiers and horses of the various towns need to continue to train together in order to have a better coordinated attack when they march into Jinzhou. Moreover, the strategy of marching troops has not yet been discussed.

Everyone said one sentence after another for a while, Governor Hong Chengchou sat firmly on it without saying a word, watching everyone's performance coldly.

Ma Shaoyu, who was the first to join the army, couldn't sit still. He stood up and cupped his fists towards the west and said loudly: "The Holy Majesty is worried about Liao affairs day and night, and Chen Benbing is also working hard all night. You are so close, but you are afraid to go forward. How can you report to the king?" kindness."

There was an instant silence in the hall, and most of the people were silent, for fear that he would put the big hat of fearing the enemy and ignoring the king's kindness on his head, even Hong Chengchou's expression was a little ugly.

Zhang Ruoqi, the solitary supervisor, had a relaxed expression, as if he had been prepared for this. Although his sitting posture was rigorous and upright, his expression was extremely relaxed, as if everything that just happened in the lobby had nothing to do with him.

He turned his head and glanced at Hong Chengchou at the head, and said to Ma Shaoyu: "Dare to ask, when Ma Canjun left Beijing, what did the emperor and this soldier have to say?"

Ma Shaoyu sat back in the chair unhurriedly, picked up the teacup on the small desk beside him, took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "When I left Beijing, I was summoned by the Holy Spirit.

In Qianqing Palace, the Holy Majesty and his own soldier, Mr. Chen, decided to march in with four armies. They fought and decided quickly, not only defeating the fierce flames of Dongnu, but also relieving the danger of Songjin. "

Hong Chengchou asked Xufa: "I don't know the plan of the four-way army. What are the details?"

Ma Shaoyu cupped his hands at Hong Chengchou and said, "Returning to Governor Hong, Chen Benbing said that a group of soldiers and horses should go out of Tashan to the north, go straight to Dasheng Fort, and attack the northwest of the slave camp;
Use the second army to leave Xingshan Fort, follow the direction of Jinchang Fort, and attack the north of the slave camp; use the third army to leave Songshan Fort, cross the Xiaoling River to the north, and attack the east of the slave camp;

Then take the main force of our army as the fourth line of soldiers and horses, go out from the front of Songshan, and mainly attack the south of the slave camp.

In this way, since the siege has been established, with our nearly 20 tiger and wolf troops, we will definitely defeat the slaves in one battle. Not only will the siege of Jinzhou be self-resolved, but we can also take advantage of the victory to pursue and restore Yizhou and Guangning for hundreds of miles of rivers and mountains.

This is an unworldly achievement, Hong Du and the generals should rise up! "

As soon as his words fell, there was a cacophony of voices in the hall, and the generals of the towns said one after another, the enemy is in front, and the army is weak, just like the defeat of Saerhu.

Of course, they are more concerned about how to divide their troops, where they go, and who they are with.

In fact, all the general soldiers have been in the border town for a long time, and they are well aware of the strength of each army, not to mention that everyone has been training together for so long.

Just like in Liao Town, Zu Dashou's tribe who was besieged in Jinzhou City was the strongest, followed by Wu Sangui's troops, and Ma Ke belonged to the bottom.

In Jizhen, the Qin soldiers under Cao Bianjiao, the old subordinate of Hong Chengchou, were the most fierce, followed by Wang Tingchen and Zuo Guang, followed by Tang Tong and Bai Guangen.

Yang Guozhu is the most famous soldier in Xuanda, but Zhang Cheng, who is a rising star, is the most famous. He has the most complete armor and battalion, the highest proportion of firearms, and his strength is much higher than that of Yang Guozhu, but he is short of cavalry and poor in field battles.

Although Wang Pu is the commander-in-chief of Datong, he has nothing but appearances. He is actually defeated among them, and his troops are also the weakest in Xuanda.

Since Wu Sangui, Cao Bianjiao, Zhang Cheng and other generals who are the strongest in Zhuzhen are unwilling to join forces with Wang Pu and Ma Ke and others, who knows if they will be tricked to death? Too many to list.

At this time, Ma Ke, Wang Pu, Liu Zhaoji, Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, Chen Jiugao and others spoke the most, while Zhang Cheng, Wu Sangui and Cao Bianjiao were very leisurely and did not participate in the discussion.

Of course, the commanders-in-chief of the towns who existed as one of the princes would not be as straightforward as they said. What they expressed was always unwilling to divide the troops, and all of them advocated going hand in hand.

Ma Shaoyu's expression became more and more gloomy, but Zhang Ruoqi, the supervising officer, seemed calmer. He ignored the generals' discussions, and just turned his head and asked slowly, "What do you think the governor thinks?"
