Daming: From the end of Hongwu

255 Chapter 253 - Song Zhong's Mysterious Operation

An hour after Juyongguan was taken, a news made Zhu Di and others tense up. Song Zhong's soldiers and horses had already arrived ten miles away.

Zhu Di hurriedly ordered the soldiers to stand firm on the north wall, and at the same time summoned the generals to discuss matters.

The news was mixed.

What is worrying is that Song Zhong's people came too fast, and they took Juyongguan for a short time. They are not familiar with everything in Juyongguan, not to mention that they don't even have the supplies for guarding the pass. If Song Zhong's [-] troops take advantage of their unstable foothold When tackling key problems, they are under too much pressure.

However, this is not a bad thing, at least it is better than Song Zhong shrinking his arms. Not only do they not need to take the initiative to fight, but they also have Juyongguan to hold on to. Under the transformation of offense and defense, they will try to break Song Zhong's 3 people , much simpler.

You must know that time is not on their side. The imperial army is on the way to Beiping. If Song Zhong insists on sticking to Huailai, they may have to spend a lot of effort to break through Huailai. Later, Song Zhong came to Juyongguan to make trouble again. Even if Juyongguan was strong and easy to defend, it was enough to involve a lot of their troops.

And do Zhu Di and the others have spare soldiers?
Absolutely not.

Therefore, when the strategy was first formulated, Song Zhong’s 3 people had to be wiped out before the imperial army was in place. Now that they heard that Song Zhong’s people had come, even if they didn’t have enough time to master Juyongguan, the news was very important to Zhu Di and the others. It is also completely acceptable.

I don't even think this situation is too bad.

All the generals figured this out in a short period of time, and then everyone began to discuss livelyly, who would guard the wall, how to guard it, who would lead the division to move outside the pass, and so on.

But just when everyone was offering advice and thinking more and more carefully, the scouts in front brought back another piece of news.

Song Zhong's former army turned around and went back.

Everyone was stunned when they heard the news.

Qiu Fu stared with tiger eyes, and said incredulously, "You ran away before you hit me?"

The orderly nodded.

hiss.

What does this mean?
After Zhu Di thought for a while, he sighed and said, "Retiring without a fight is probably not Song Zhong's army, but a small number of soldiers and horses who came to help Juyongguan. Unfortunately, they were not left behind. It seems that there are capable people in Song Zhong's army. .”

Everyone reacted instantly.

When I heard Song Zhong's army before, I thought it was Song Zhong's army, but it was a joke. It's just that Song Zhong's retreat, although they are not in danger of being shut down, how can they break Song Zhong's [-] soldiers guarding in his arms? , which gave them a bit of a headache.

Zhu Di went on to say: "Looking at the situation now, Song Zhong doesn't intend to attack us, so we have no choice but to attack."

The reason is such a reason, but the question is how to attack?
The generals thought about it.

Zheng Heng said bitterly: "With our current strength, we have left some defenses to defend Juyongguan as a retreat. Only 8000 people can take the initiative to attack, and 8000 people attack a city defended by 3 people. This..."

Zheng Heng didn't finish his words, but everyone understood his concerns, and this was exactly the trouble everyone was thinking about.

Even Zhen Wu frowned, trying to think of a way to defeat the enemy.

But after much deliberation, he couldn't think of a way, so he couldn't help looking at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di happened to be looking at Zhen Wu at this moment.

Zhen Wu was taken aback, feeling terrified, Zhu Di shouldn't treat him as a Bodhisattva, he really can't do anything about it, besides, Zhu Di can win by himself in history, others don't know how to win, how can he, Zhu Di himself not know?

I don't want to think of a way right now, just watch him be a dick.

However, Zhen Wu obviously misunderstood, Zhu Di did not intend to ask Ji Zhenwu.

He has his own calculations.

Zhu Di took a deep breath, and asked Zhen Wudao softly, "If it's a field battle, and you lead the generals, can you be sure to defeat Song Zhong's 3 people?"

In a field battle, [-] broke [-]?

There is a slight disparity in military strength.

However, Zhen Wu turned his eyes to look at the generals present, Qiu Fu, Tan Yuan, Wang Zhen, Zhang Wu, and Zheng Heng. As he looked over one by one, Zhen Wu's confidence gradually increased.

What kind of team is this.

In the future, anyone who is pulled out randomly in the future will be Lord Hou.

Zhen Wu's eyes were determined, and he said firmly: "If there is a field battle, Zhen Wu will definitely be able to defeat Song Zhong."

"it is good."

Zhu Di stood up from his seat in an instant. He looked at the generals and said, "Although we are few in number, we are united. But Song Zhong is self-willed, rash and reckless, and with a little insult, he will definitely be forced to go out of the city to fight with us. Now the generals obey the order, gather the soldiers, have a full meal and go to bed early, and come tomorrow with me."

Zhu Di's words instantly inspired the generals.

The crowd answered in unison.

……

At this time, on the way from Juyongguan to Huailai, Peng Ju heaved a sigh of relief seeing the distance from Juyongguan.

It's dangerous, if Zhu Di finds out, he only has 5000 people, and I'm afraid everyone will have to confess to Juyongguan.

Fortunately, he escaped quickly.

Peng Juyao looked in the direction of Juyongguan, and after a few glances, he urged the sergeant again. When they returned to Huailai again, he was still a little lucky that Zhu Di didn't leave him behind.

However, his act of fleeing back in a hurry was not understood by Song Zhong.

"What did you say? You just turned around and came back after finding out that the Yan thief had taken over Juyongguan?" Song Zhong asked angrily with his eyes wide open. His beard accompanied his irascibility, making him look like a irritated lion.

"The humble rank only has 5000 troops, and since the Yan bandits can conquer Juyongguan, they will certainly not be able to defeat thousands of people, and according to investigations, Zhu Di's general Zhen Wu is also among them. This man is very good at cavalry, and the humble rank cannot defeat them. How can he not leave?" Peng Ju's righteous words made the irritable Song Zhong lose his temper for a while.

If you can't beat them, you won't be allowed to run?
There's really nothing wrong with it.

Song Zhong had no choice but to wave his hand irritably to let Peng Ju go down, but he couldn't get out of the breath because of the breath, and he couldn't do it because of the discomfort.

Until Zhu Di showed up at Huailai City with 8000 people, Song Zhong's held back breath suddenly exploded.

"What? Zhu Di dares to bring only 8000 people to attack me? What does he mean? How dare he look down on me so much." Song Zhong was in the conference hall, leaning on the table furiously, staring fiercely at the messenger in front of him.

The scout was frightened tremblingly, but he still insisted and said: "Report to the governor of Song Dynasty, the Yan thief has not hidden its whereabouts, and the formation is also an ordinary formation. The number of people is easy to identify. Biao Xia and others can confirm that the Yan thief only has more than [-] people."

"Fuck his grandma."

Song Zhong cursed loudly, and then told everyone: "All follow me to the top of the city."

A group of people came to the top of the city in a hurry, and when they took a closer look, there was a continuous formation in the distance. After counting carefully, it was indeed only [-]. The rest of the people had smiles on their faces, and only Song Zhong's face turned darker.

Because he also noticed that there were several groups of people running around and shouting from time to time, and he listened carefully to the words that were all insulting him.

After observing Song Zhong's expression, Peng Ju, who was on the side, stepped forward to persuade him: "The governor of Song Dynasty should not fall into the trap, the Yan thief is just trying to anger the governor, so that we can give up the city defense and have a decisive battle with them outside the city."

Song Zhong remained silent.

His capable subordinate, Sun Tai, curled his lips in disdain and said, "Even if it's a plan, does Commander Peng still think that 3 of us can't beat them with 8000?"

Peng Ju was choked for a moment. He would never dare to respond to such words of raising others' prestige, and he didn't complain at all when the sacrificial flag was cut off. We can't fight, but we have a good city defense to defend, why should we fight against Yan thief? As long as we procrastinate, the imperial army will advance to Beiping, and the Yan thief will retreat if they don't retreat, not to mention the Yan thief has been attacking outside the territory all the year round, and their subordinates are all good at fighting General, not to mention others, the name of Zhen Wu must have been heard by everyone, he is really a mighty general."

It's good that Peng Ju didn't mention Zhen Wu, but when he mentioned Zhen Wu, Sun Tai immediately raised his eyebrows, and he retorted: "The titan? Could it be that Sun has lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time and is ignorant? Any cat or dog can do it. Call it a titan, I, Sun, would like to see it."

After finishing speaking, Sun Tai knelt down on one knee in front of Song Zhong, and said with a ferocious smile, "Sun Tai begs for orders, and is willing to bring five thousand soldiers and horses to defeat the Yan thieves. I hope the governor will give you an order."

Peng Ju hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "The governor is not allowed."

"Why not? The soldiers of our subordinates are also the children of the north, no different from the swallow bandits, and they have superior military strength, how can we not fight? If the generals are afraid of the swallow bandits, I, Sun Tai, am not afraid." Sun Tai said aggressively.

This sentence also involved other generals at once.

The other generals had no choice but to express their opinions in a hurry. For a while, some agreed to go to war, and some disagreed, and the city was bustling with noise.

Song Zhong looked at this scene with a dark face. At first he was still a little hard to make a choice, but at this moment, Zhen Wu led a group of people to the city, and insulted: "Song Zhong is a thief, it is possible that he only dares to shrink in the bastard!" Do you dare to come to the city to see Grandpa?!"

The rest of Zhen Wu's team also shouted to the city.

"Turtle bastard, don't be cowardly, go out of town and fight."

"Sun thief, do you dare to go out of the city to fight?"

……

The voice faintly floated to the top of the city, Song Zhong's face darkened a bit, and he was so angry that he went straight down the city.

Seeing this, the rest of the generals hurriedly followed.

As Song Zhong walked, his anger gradually accumulated. When he returned to the meeting hall again, Song Zhong finally couldn't hold back his anger any longer. He slapped the table, gritted his teeth, and said, "Give me some troops, I will do my best!" [-] soldiers and horses will crush the Yan thieves, otherwise it will not be enough to eliminate my hatred."

Peng Ju wanted to persuade him again, but before he could say anything, he met Song Zhong's eyes as if he wanted to eat people. He sighed, and when the words came to his lips, he said, "Yes."

Only then did Song Zhong retract his gaze in satisfaction, and then said in a deep voice again: "Hurry up and get ready, we will go out to the city tomorrow to face the battle, and we will definitely succeed in the first battle."

All the generals immediately responded in unison, and went down to prepare.

However, as time goes by.

In the evening, the other generals were actively preparing, but Song Zhong, who had calmed down, felt a little regretful and felt that he should not be so impulsive.

Speaking of it, although Song Zhong has a good reputation for being violent, he is also a cautious person in his bones.

To put it bluntly, he was a little cowardly, otherwise he had an army of [-] in his hand, and after learning that Zhu Di had controlled Beiping City, he would have retreated directly to Huailai.

Especially when Song Zhong thought of Zhu Di, Zhen Wu had been extremely good at fighting these years, and he felt a little bit more regretful. He called Sun Tai over and planned to discuss with Sun Tai again.

But before he spoke, Sun Tai seemed to have guessed what Song Zhong was thinking.

Sun Tai said directly: "Commander, we have 3 people, while Zhu Di only has 8000. If we only focus on defense and do nothing else, how will the court officials treat us? How should the emperor treat us, but if we After capturing Zhu Di, how should the emperor reward us?!"

These earnest words directly suppressed Song Zhong's little thoughts.

He sighed and said: "This is indeed the case. If I don't do anything, the emperor will probably dismiss me, but King Yan is good at fighting. What should I do if there is an accident?"

Sun Tai didn't even think about it: "How can there be an accident? All the soldiers are soldiers from the north, and 3 will fight [-]. As long as the soldiers fight bravely, why not beat the Yan thief, even if the Yan thief's subordinates can fight again, But how many people can they beat? [-] people will die from exhaustion.”

Song Zhong couldn't help but nodded, but then he became worried: "I'm afraid that the soldiers won't work hard." After speaking, he murmured to himself: "We still need to think of a way to motivate the soldiers. "

Song Zhong began to think about it, thinking about it, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and said to Sun Tai: "There is a way, you can let people spread the news among the soldiers in a while, and say that I let people find out, all the soldiers Those who lived near Beiping had all their family members killed by Yan soldiers, and their bones were piled up in mountains, and tomorrow I will lead all the soldiers to attack and avenge everyone's blood."

Sun Tai's eyes also brightened: "This method is very good. When the troops were set up, these soldiers were all dispatched from the surrounding guards of Beiping, and most of their families were around. How can the pawns not fight bravely?!"

Song Zhong nodded complacently: "Then you don't do it yet. After finishing it, we will defeat the Yan army tomorrow."

"Come on." Sun Taixing rushed down to spread the news.

……

And Zhu Di is in the camp.

Zhu Di got the news very quickly, and then he quickly summoned the generals, and when the generals arrived, Zhu Di said with a smile: "I thought I would have to waste some effort, but I didn't expect Song Zhong to have a problem with his brain, not only Tomorrow, I intend to fight us decisively, but I still framed up with the soldiers and killed their family members, this is not God helping me, what is this?"

Everyone is a little confused.

Zhen Wu even asked, "Your Highness, where did you get the news?"

Zhu Di glanced at Zhen Wu with dissatisfaction, and then said complacently: "I have been in Peiping for so many years, not to mention Beiping Mansion, but the surrounding mansions, where there is no one like me, I can't even get this bit of news. What is so difficult about Feng Tianjing?"

Zhen Wu nodded in understanding, which is reasonable, but at the next moment Zhen Wu was still a little uncertain and asked: "Your Highness, is this news authentic?"

"It's absolutely true," Zhu Di said.

Zhen Wu couldn't help but support his forehead, and said in disbelief: "Your Highness, am I too stupid? Why can't I understand Song Zhong? A decisive battle is a decisive battle. His 3 people are upright and our victory rate is not low. Why? He broke his own arm, this kind of lie will be exposed as soon as it is poked, why is he spreading it, you must know that many soldiers in our army and his army are in the same village, who doesn't know each other."

Zhu Di smiled and said: "I don't understand either. His brain is probably a little different from ordinary people, but it is a good thing for us. You are called to let you coordinate overnight. The relatives and friends of those people in our army are serving as soldiers on the opposite side. Then put some cloth as a banner, write their names on them, let these people hold their names as the leader in the battle, I want to see, when the chaos arises, how Song Zhong gathers the soldiers, everyone in his army is busy Looking for relatives, what kind of battle is there?"

Listening to Zhu Di's words, all the generals also thought of this scene in their minds, and they all couldn't help laughing.

They who were still worried at first became full of confidence for a while.

Sometimes there is really no way, and the opponents always come up with some mysterious operations to increase their winning rate for no reason.

……

　First of all, I wish the students of the college entrance examination, the college entrance examination smoothly, and the title of the gold list.

　　Then, thank you for the two 500 rewards of 'I have no deposit', laughing, the boss is quick, and I clicked twice.

　　Today is a bit short, adjust it tomorrow.
