The white porridge and pickled mustard is enough, why am I wearing a royal robe?

Chapter 118 Decision
If the imperial court sends troops to attack, it is indeed a good idea to keep them all in Yanchuan, but then the Yanchang captured will inevitably fall into the hands of the imperial court again.

And since the imperial court has sent someone, he must be a high-ranking official with the ability to mobilize the troops and horses of the three sides. There will also be troops stationed in Yanchang. It will not be an easy task to win Yanchang. In fact, these are not the most critical. The key thing is the degree of trust that ordinary people have in the Stove King.

Now both Yanchuan and Yanchang counties know the name of the Kitchen King, especially Yanchang. So many people have witnessed Liu Zhenhua conjuring countless foods, and the impression of the Kitchen King has been deeply imprinted in their minds.

The Kitchen King has strong soldiers and horses, and the ability to produce countless foods with the wave of his hand. The Kitchen King will replace the Ming Dynasty in governing the world in the future.

But the Kitchen King was beaten away
They returned to the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

This situation cannot happen. Liu Zhenhua now has nearly [-] troops. Even if he divides his troops into two groups, there are still [-] defenders in each city. The walls of Yanchuan County and Yanchang County are being expanded. There are tall walls. The garrison of Qianwu can easily resist the attack of soldiers and horses several times their own.

What's more, Liu Zhenhua also has a huge military reserve. The people who poured into the city are eager for Liu Zhenhua to expand his army. When the quota of heavenly soldiers is released, these people will be no less heroic than the soldiers who have undergone formal training.

There is no shortage of soldiers and horses, no shortage of food, no shortage of weapons, there is no shortage of the three, there is nothing to worry about.

Liu Zhenhua looked at the crowd and said, "Split the troops into two groups. All the heavenly soldiers will be left in Yanchuan County, and only two hundred militiamen will be left. The remaining militiamen will all belong to Yanchang."

The heavenly soldiers can eat the heavenly soldiers' meal, but only if Liu Zhenhua is around. He and the heavenly soldiers stay in the same city. The quality of the heavenly soldiers is relatively high, so there are fewer militiamen left.

If there is a shortage of manpower, people can be recruited.

The city of Yanchang County is not as high as Yanchuan, and there are no heavenly soldiers. Therefore, more soldiers are left and some local braves are recruited to gather 3000 people for defense.

Liu Zhenhua said slowly, and everyone listened carefully. Among them, only Wang Wu had experience in defending the city, and the others were just humble beginnings.

"If the enemy attacks one of the cities, our soldiers and horses from the other city can also rush to help."

Liu Zhenhua pointed at Yanchuan and said.

This is also the benefit of owning a land of two cities.

"report!"

Wang Wu suddenly said that although he had only joined for a short period of time, he was very familiar with discipline and knew that he had to make reports during meetings.

"You said."

"What if the other party surrounds us for reinforcements?"

Wang Wu asked.

Many of the surrounding generals did not know the meaning of encircling the point for reinforcements, including Ren Hongli, one of the two highest officials at the moment.

"It's simple."

Liu Zhenhua smiled. It was good for Wang Wu to think that the other party would come to support him.

"To encircle a city for reinforcements, to put it simply, it means to surround one of the cities as bait, and plan to ambush on the way to the reinforcements in advance. After attracting the defenders to send troops to rush for reinforcements, the reinforcements will be eaten."

Liu Zhenhua knew that some people present did not know what it meant to call for support, he explained.

"As long as the enemy's intentions are known and the party rushing to reinforce them avoids fueling tactics and concentrates its forces, it will not be afraid of the other party's encirclement and reinforcements."

"If the other side encircles Yanchuan, we can even use the method of 'I'll beat you, I'll beat mine'." Liu Zhenhua put his finger on the map and stretched it from Yanchang to Yan'an. "If they encircle Yanchuan, we will attack Yan'an, attack the enemy and save it."

"The last method is to cooperate inside and outside. This method is to turn the enemy's bait into our bait. The people besieging the city and the people rushing to help should cooperate inside and outside. The other party is the one who is besieged."

"Of course, these are all false. In a duel between the two sides, the key that directly determines the outcome is hard power," Liu Zhenhua said with a smile.

"I have enough confidence in both the heavenly soldiers and the militia."

Liu Zhenhua looked at the generals and knocked on the table. Not only were the Tianbing militia well-equipped and well-disciplined, but looking at the Ming army, Liu Zhenhua had already had a general idea of ​​the Ming army in recent days when they were attacking cities and forts.

At least in these places that are not considered important towns, there are almost no soldiers, only small groups of soldiers occasionally, almost no armor, and the discipline is loose.

"It is estimated that the powerful Ming army is at the border."

Liu Zhenhua looked towards the north. Nowadays, the Liao Dynasty affairs are serious, and the elites of the Ming Dynasty are all at the northern border.

The people who came to call for peace should also mobilize soldiers and horses from some prefectural cities.

The quality of these soldiers and horses should be inferior to the heavenly soldiers.

"Please don't worry, Kitchen King!"

The anxiety in the hearts of the generals was swept away. They were already doing the decapitation. What else was there to be afraid of? If it weren't for the Kitchen King, they would have died long ago.

Now the Ming army is coming. If they can win this battle, it will prove that the Ming Dynasty is nothing more than this. If they can't defeat it, they will die anyway. Anyway, they have enjoyed better treatment than the emperor these days.

"Let the news out that under the rule of the Kitchen King, the Ming army intends to rebel." Liu Zhenhua's words made everyone freeze on the spot, as if they were rebelling against Tiangang.

They had never heard of anyone saying that the imperial court was plotting rebellion.

They are all saying that a foolish king is in power and does justice for heaven.

Some people actually said that the imperial court was plotting rebellion. "It is also rumored that the food, gold and silver brought by the imperial court are only enough to supply the people for half a year. The emperor only wants to suppress the rebels and does not want to help the people."

"The recruitment is also fake. The actual purpose is to let the rebels relax their vigilance. Wait until the rebels disperse and kill them one by one."

Liu Zhenhua knew very well how terrible public opinion was. Such news was enough to make some rebels who wanted to be recruited by the imperial court think about it.

Liu Zhenhua naturally does not want to see the court's recruitment policy having any effect. The more chaotic Shaanxi is now, the more beneficial it is for Liu Zhenhua.

"With so many rebels, they shouldn't only target me."

Liu Zhenhua muttered, at least the news released by the court now is to recruit people.

With so many rebels, there are always the same thorns in his side. If there is one more, he will have to bear less pressure and have more time.

"In addition, the militia will be extended immediately, maintain training, continue to strengthen the defense of the city wall, recruit another [-] civilians, and speed up the construction of the city wall."

"In addition, recruit a thousand local warriors and tell them that if the imperial rebels attack, those who have meritorious service in guarding the city wall will directly become militiamen."

That's right, not to become a heavenly soldier, but to become a militiaman, because Liu Zhenhua doesn't need too many militiamen at the moment, and the common people can't get a militia quota even if they fight for scalps. The militiamen's awards are enough.

"Such news was also released in Yanchuan City, and [-] rural warriors were recruited to form a team of rural warriors and follow the militia training to cooperate in defending the city."

"Go!"

The people in the room dispersed one after another. Liu Zhenhua looked at the reputation in his hand and saw that there was not much left. Liu Zhenhua was now a member of the Moonlight Clan.

I always planned to save money, but when I got it, I had to spend it all because of various other things.

He had accumulated some reputation some time ago, but because there were more people in those cities, Liu Zhenhua used all his reputation to buy sweet potato seedlings.

"Now there's a war again," Liu Zhenhua banged his hands on the table. Others spent money on fighting, but he spent on reputation.

“But it seems like there’s nothing more that can be added.”

He currently has hundreds of crossbowmen in his team, and there is no need to spend reputation on the city wall to buy bed crossbows.

The most important thing is that the number of heavenly soldiers is about to exceed one thousand. Liu Zhenhua must accumulate reputation to break through the upper limit of heavenly soldiers and cannot spend it elsewhere.

"Upgrading the upper limit again, it is estimated that the daily income can be more than [-]."

Liu Zhenhua silently calculated in his mind.

I already thought that nine thousand a day was enough, but when I went out I couldn't even hear a sound.

In Yanchuan and Yanchang, two things became the talk of the people after dinner.

One is the news from the court. The Ming Dynasty finally remembered that the people of Shaanxi were also their subjects, and finally sent people to provide disaster relief. However, this news was quickly exposed, because some people said that the court only wanted to suppress bandits and did not Disaster relief means that there are too many victims in Shaanxi and they cannot be saved.

The imperial court has given up on Shaanxi.

The other is the message sent by the Kitchen King.

"Under the rule of the Kitchen King, the imperial court wanted to rebel."

When this news reached the ears of the people, they almost couldn't believe what they heard. Some people actually said that the imperial court was going to rebel.

But after some discussion, the people felt that the news was indeed true.

"Under the rule of the Stove King, we live a happy life. We have enough to eat and some clothes to wear. If the court comes to drive away the Stove King, wouldn't it be contrary to heaven?"

When someone slaps the table, he is not afraid that others will hear it. This is the Kitchen King's territory. Even if he scolds the emperor's eighteen generations of ancestors, it will be fine.

"Yes, you actually want to drive away the Kitchen King. If the Kitchen King goes to heaven in anger, who will give us these good lives? The dog officer sent by the court, even if he gives us food, he can How long shall we eat?”

"You also have to be the Kitchen King, someone who can conjure food."

"Oh, if I hadn't run so slowly, I would have been training with the militia now," someone said with a little regret. The Kitchen King was recruiting local braves. When he heard the news, the Kitchen King had stopped recruiting.

"Who says it's not the case? The Kitchen King has already said that if the court dog officer leads people to attack the city and has merit in defending the city, he can directly become a militia!"

"Being a militiaman is even better than being a cadre. Not only will you be in charge of the food, but if you become a heavenly soldier, you will have better food than the emperor."

The person who spoke looked distressed.

This sentence made the people around him sigh. Who could have prevented them from catching up? Those people didn't know why they could run so fast. They had already rushed to sign up as soon as the news came out.

Not only has the recruitment of militia been delayed, but the work of building the city wall has not been picked up, and now we can only chat here.

Just sit back and eat.
