Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 148 Seeking Wuzhou, Wang Yan uses tricks
Let’s say Liu Shun listened to Wang Yan’s suggestion, picked up the binoculars, and watched the battle at the top of the city, and immediately found many problems. , but somewhat less.

Liu Shun had guarded Qingzhou before, so he naturally knew how tragic the battle to defend the city was. There must be a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. Now, the city has been sawed for nearly a quarter of an hour, but no one died, and even a few ladders were not overturned. It is really puzzling.

"Master Hou!" Liu Shun put down the binoculars, his face full of doubts, "Is this a joke? What is Chen Bangfu's intention in colluding with the rebels?"

Wang Yan sneered and said, "Zi Ming, don't worry, you'll know it tonight."

Hearing the words, Liu Shun frowned, then narrowed his eyes, exuding a burst of murderous aura.

Many generals at the side were also thoughtful when they heard the conversation between the two.

At this time, Wang Yan looked around, looked at the expressions of everyone, and suddenly felt a movement in his heart, and an idea appeared in his mind for no reason.

Now he lacks generals and leading talents, why not train a group among the many generals?

Literati can be cultivated through private schools in academies, so why can't military generals have a martial arts academy that teaches military books and strategies and arranges troops?

People are not born with knowledge, Wang Yan has also grown from a juren with no experience in battle to now has tens of thousands of soldiers.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the nations were in conflict, Guiguzi took in countless disciples, and even trained such great masters as Sun Bin and Pang Juan.

Wang Yan thought, if the generals and schools of the generals could be gathered from time to time to teach some military skills and battle experience, although it cannot be expected that some world-renowned generals will be trained, but the general banner can be competent for a hundred households, and a hundred households can be competent for a thousand households. , and Qianhu is qualified for the post of general, wouldn't it be beautiful.

Now Wang Yan has only 2 people in his hands, and the guards in Guangdong are insufficient, so the expansion of the army is imminent. With the expansion of the army, there will not be enough generals and schools who are competent for their duties, and the combat power of the army will inevitably decline.

Last year, Wang Yan was rescued by the rebels in Qingzhou, and was chased and killed by the Qing army. He experienced the scene of tens of thousands of rebels and was often killed by thousands of northern captives several times. Therefore, after he took charge of the army, he has always insisted on In the government of elite soldiers, he will never allow the expansion of the army to reduce the combat power of the army too much.

"This method is the best!" Wang Yan couldn't help admiring in his heart. He had already decided that after capturing Wuzhou, he would perfect his ideas. Once the chaos of King Jingjiang was put down, he would immediately implement this strategy in the army.

At this time, Wang Yan came back to his senses and looked at the battlefield again. The troops of Chen Bangfu and others had been fighting with the rebels for nearly half an hour, and it was difficult to continue the show.

Chen Bangfu and the other four who supervised the battle under the city wall looked at the city anxiously. This big drama should end here, and if it continues, it will definitely reveal its truth.

For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, thinking about how to make the soldiers and horses in the city retreat, which seemed more reasonable, but at this moment, there was a rush of "ding ding ding~" sound from behind him.

"Ming Jin has withdrawn his troops!" Chen Bangfu and others breathed a sigh of relief.

All of a sudden, the [-] officers and troops who attacked the city retreated from the city like a tide.

After the four gathered their soldiers and horses, they headed to the high slope, but Zhao Qiansi was a little worried on the way, "The Zhongyonghou has been in battle for a long time, so he won't see any flaws."

"Don't worry." Chen Bangfu gave him a reassuring look, "There are nearly [-] brothers killed and injured, how could he see that."

In the land of Guangdong and Guangxi, ever since Yu and Qi Erping settled the Japanese invasion, there has been peace for a long time. Although the four of them are all in the ranks of the generals, they have not actually experienced any wars. Most of the time they are suppressing mountain bandits, suppressing civil unrest, and causing casualties. A dozen or so people is considered a big deal, so they think that this scene has cost a lot of money.

Chen Bangfu had experienced the last battle of Wuzhou, so the other three were more convinced by his words, and they felt a lot more at ease.

At this time, the four people came to the high slope, saluted Wang Yan, and then said: "The last general is about to break through the city, why did the Marquis withdraw his troops?"

"The rebel army is really vulnerable. If you don't get Lord Hou to take action, the last four will be able to capture Wuzhou."

"This Marquis saw that the army had been attacking the city for an hour, and the soldiers were already exhausted, so he ordered the chess officer to send an order to withdraw the troops." Wang Yan looked at the four of them with a smile on his face, "Today, the Marquis just wanted to test the reality of the city, but the four generals However, this performance made Ben Hou admiring, and actually directly attacked the top of the city, and let Ben Hou know the strength of the rebels in the city, but they are just a bunch of mobs. The four should be rewarded today."

When the four of them heard this, they couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, and hurriedly clasped their fists in salute, "I don't dare to get a reward from Lord Hou for such a small achievement."

"This Marquis has always distinguished rewards and punishments. If you have meritorious service, there is no reason not to reward you." Wang Yan's face straightened, "Today, Ben Marquis will hold a celebration banquet for you and others in the camp, and wish the army to recover Wuzhou in advance. After King Jingjiang's rebellion, this Marquis is now composing your achievements today into a memorial to ask for your achievements, okay?"

After listening, the four of them looked at each other, saluted together and said: "The four last generals, thank you, Lord Hou."

"Haha~" Wang Yan raised his hand slightly, and then said to the people around him: "Let's withdraw the troops for now, you and the others will go back to the camp with me to celebrate the achievements of the four generals."

In the camp, at the large tent of the Chinese army, a large banner embroidered with the characters of king fluttered in the wind.

In the commander's tent, Wang Yan and others were exchanging cups with Chen Bangfu and the four of them. Ding Kuichu, Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was also invited.

Everyone returned to the camp at noon, drank directly and said that it was getting dark before they dispersed.

When Wang Yan waited for Ding Kuichu and others to leave the big tent, he quickly summoned Liu Shun and Dai Zhifan to discuss, "Chen Bangfu and the others have colluded with the rebels. Today the rebels deliberately show weakness to make the Marquis proud, so they must have something to do."

Hearing this, Liu Shun clasped his fists in a salute, "Master Hou said to the general today that he will know what the rebels intend to do tonight. The general thinks about it, and only Yang Guowei will go out of the city to rob the camp."

"That's right, Chen Bangfu and others lost more than [-] people under their command in order to sing such a big show. Naturally, they made a lot of plans, but he wants to rob my camp, but this Marquis wants to take advantage of the situation to take Wuzhou." Wang Yan nodded, and then Suddenly he called out in a serious voice: "Liu Shun, Dai Zhifan."

The two knew that Wang Yan must have a military order to explain, so they immediately clasped their fists in promise: "The last general is here!"

"After the two of you returned to the account, order the soldiers to rest earlier. Tonight, you will cook at the time of Chou and leave the camp at Yin time." Wang Yan said solemnly: "At that time, Liu Shun can take 3000 troops and lie down outside the east gate. After Yang Guowei leaves the city, Seeing that the camp was on fire, they attacked the east gate. Dai Zhifan led [-] soldiers to lay down on the north side of the camp, and Benhou personally led [-] soldiers to lie down on the south side.

"No! The last general will obey the order of Lord Hou!" The two agreed in unison.

At that moment, Liu Shun was about to withdraw from the camp with Dai Zhifan, but Dai Zhifan suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the four of Chen Bangfu and the rebels are in collusion with the rebels. If they turn against each other tonight, Master Hou will have a countermeasure."

Hearing this, Wang Yan applauded in his heart, "You don't have to worry about this matter, the Marquis has already made a plan."
