Lord of the House: Chapter 85 confidence
(7,000-character chapter, asking for a red ticket)
Xiayuan City is sandwiched between the mountains of Jiangxi and Hunan. In the middle of August, although the eyes are full of greenery, the people standing at the top of the city have already felt the coolness and the heat has disappeared.
Yuanzhou's military status is not political, the generals and soldiers can wear battle clothes, but the civil servants cannot pass through the court official robes. Zhou Zhi is standing at the head of the city, wearing a soap shirt, looking at the surrounding mountains and mountains, his heart is very tight. .
Leaving the east of the city, the soldiers and horses in the front have entered the western foothills of Xiaoping Mountain. The post road there is as thin as cotton threads, and the soldiers are as tiny as ants, which can only be roughly identified, while the soldiers and horses at the rear are still continuously going out of the city and heading east.
Four days ago, when Huang Binghao formulated a strategy for sending troops to Xinyu, he planned to send 20,000 troops to the east, but when he was about to leave, Huang Binghao temporarily decided to send another 10,000 troops.
With Chen Zishou and Zhang Xiongshan as the chief and deputy commanders, and his son Huang Lizhang as the military envoy, he led 30,000 troops and horses into Xinyu, and Huang Binghao had only 5,000 troops and horses left behind in Xiayuan.
If Yuzhang had decided on the previous intelligence, it would have seriously underestimated the force Yuanzhou sent to Xinyu.
Huaidong had only a total of 16,700 cavalry in Yuzhang, deducting the basic defensive forces left behind in Yuzhang and other cities, and he could enter Xinyu without adjusting the 10,000 cavalry.
Although the Huaidong Army was extremely elite, and in field battles outside the city, they were able to defeat Yuanzhou's troops and horses with one enemy and two, but could they still be able to use one against three?
Furthermore, from Xiayuan to Xinyu, it is only over 130 li, and Huaidong's troops and horses in Yuzhang have to travel westward to Xinyu via Yangle, and they have to travel 300 li. Even if Huaidong's troops in Yuzhang could set off a day earlier than here, it would be impossible for them to arrive at Xinyu City earlier than here.
If Chen Zishou was asked to lead his troops into Xinyu City first and defend the city, no matter how elite Huaidong troops and horses were, it would be difficult to overcome them suddenly, and the plan to lure Yuanzhou troops and horses out of the city to fight in the field would fall through...
Even if it is believed that Huaidong's overall strength is far from Yuanzhou's rival, but when it comes to the upcoming Xinyu encounter, Zhou Zhizheng is still worried about whether Huaidong's troops in Yuzhang can win.
Worried, Zhou Zhizheng couldn't help turning his head to look at Wu Jingze, who was standing a little further away, disguised as his squire and escorted to the tower.
Huang Binghao, who was watching the troops on the tower, saw that Zhou Zhizheng was turning his head, and he also looked back.
Huang Binghao's glance was unintentional, but Zhou Zhizheng was so frightened that his soul almost flew away; fortunately, Wu Jingze looked as usual, looking over, as if asking Zhou Zhizheng's orders.
Huang Binghao didn't have any doubts, so he turned his head and continued to watch the troops and horses pull out of the city.
Although Zhou Zhizheng was trusted by Huang Binghao, he could stand side by side with Tang Shide and others in front of the stacking wall with Huang Binghao and watch the troops and horses leave the city, but Wu Jingze, acting as Zhou Zhizheng's squire, could not get close to the front, leaving Huang Binghao's personal guard behind. peripheral.
However, Huang Binghao's guards were not very vigilant. Wu Jingze saw that there were three or five people between Huang Binghao and him, and everyone's attention was drawn to the soldiers and horses that were advancing from the city. At this time, he drew his sword and rushed in. With some certainty, Huang Binghao was killed on the city with a single blow.
Although Wu Jingze said that his face was as usual, but seeing the opportunity to assassinate Huang Binghao was in front of him, it was inevitable that his breath was tight and his throat was dry.
After a while, Wu Jingze breathed a sigh of relief and suppressed the urge to reach out and draw the knife.
By the time 30,000 troops and horses had set up their camps in three batches and pulled out of the East City, it was past noon.
Zhou Zhizheng was worried that if he stayed by Huang Binghao's side, he would accidentally miss out and cause death, so he wanted to go back to Yuanzhou in the name of the supervisor.
Huang Binghao did not doubt him either, and Xu Zhouzhi was returning to Yuanzhou to supervise the transport of the next batch of grain.
************
Leaving Xiayuancheng and heading west, Zhou Zhi was driving in a car, Wu Jingze was the groom, driving in front of the car, and four other squires followed behind on horseback for protection, all of whom were servants who followed Zhou Zhizheng.
Zhou Zhi was moving forward and asked Wu Jingze worriedly, "Huang Binghao temporarily added another 10,000 troops. If Yuzhang is not prepared, there will be problems!"
"Hezhong Mansion is in Ruyang with 30,000 troops and horses, and called Chen Zhihu to attack and defeat the 3,000 elites. Why?" Wu Jingze didn't worry too much. The two armies faced each other, and there were too many factors that affected the outcome. The strength of the troops was only one aspect, but It is not the decisive factor. Otherwise, Liu An'er, the bandit leaders, would have taken over the world long ago. Although Yuanzhou has 40,000 soldiers and horses, in the later period, Shewenzhuang also intends to restrict Huang Binghao, and Yuanzhou's army and armor cannot be said to be complete. , not to mention that the generals have no fighting spirit and soldiers have no courage, how can they fight against the elites of Huaidong?
Zhou Zhi was a civil official and had never been in contact with the military. In order to dispel his doubts, Wu Jingze explained, "Huang Binghao has not dared to disclose his intention to join the Yan captives and send troops to Xinyu to restrain my Huaidong troops and horses for the Yan captives. How can he make his soldiers have the determination to fight against the elites of Huaidong? For Yuzhang, there is no big problem with how much troops are sent here, and the most difficult thing to grasp is the timing of sending troops here...
Seeing Wu Jingze's confidence, Zhou Zhizheng felt a little relieved, and said with emotion: "When Duke Chongguo first rose up, he attacked the crowd with a small number of troops in Yannan, and defeated more than 10,000 horses in Yeye, and the whole world was shocked. It is difficult to stop the elites of Huaidong, but the timing of the dispatch of troops is not easy to grasp. Huang Binghao also has an eye in Yuzhang. If Yuzhang moves too early, it will definitely cause vigilance, and the strategy of attracting snakes will be difficult to achieve; however, going to Yuan to Xinyu, only a hundred Thirty li, and Yuzhang goes to Xinyu, more than 300 li, how can Chen Zishou's army meet and fight in the city and wilderness of Xinyu?"
Indeed, if Chen Zishou was asked to lead his troops into Xinyu City first and defend the city, it would be difficult for the Huaidong Army to attack it suddenly. Wu Jingze looked at the rolling hills on both sides of the avenue and said, "Going from Yuanyuan to Xinyu is a short road, but the road is short. The narrow road is dangerous and it is difficult to travel quickly. Even if 30,000 soldiers and horses travel on the narrow road day and night, Zhang Xiongshan's vanguard soldiers and horses can enter Xinyu City before noon tomorrow, which is not slow. After the water enters Yangle in the west, and then goes south to Xinyu from the valley road between Mengshan and Moshan, the road is relatively wide, which is convenient for the horse army to pass through. Even the first troops and horses of Yuzhang chose to start today, and the cavalry first and entered Xinyu. Yu's time will not be later than Chen Zishou!"
Zhou Zhizheng thought about it as well. It took half a day for Yuanzhou's 30,000 troops to set out. It was precisely from Xiayuan to Xinyu, and the road was narrow and it was difficult to travel quickly.
From Xiayuan to Xinyu, there are water and land routes.
The waterway is Yuanhe. When Yuanhe descends to the southern foot of Sendai Mountain, the waterway is sandwiched between Sendai Mountain and the strong cliffs of Qanggangling, only more than ten feet wide. Yuanhe is the main river of Yuanzhou Mansion. It originates from Wugong Mountain. It connects Wugong Mountain, Heshan Mountain, Mengshan Mountain and other mountains and rivers for hundreds of kilometers. During the summer and autumn rainy seasons, in the territory of Xiayuan County, the water potential of Yuanhe River is almost the same. become great.
For such a large river, the total amount of rainfall in summer is even greater than the Xinjiang River flowing from its source in Shangrao. However, in Xiayuan County, it was caught in the narrow waterways of the Qiangang Gorge and it was difficult to discharge. South of Yuancheng forms Jingxiang Lake with vast waters.
The lake area of Jingxiang Lake changes greatly with the rain. In the summer and autumn rainy seasons, the upstream water is extremely large, and the downstream is clamped by the Qiangang Canyon. It has become extremely vicious, and it is extremely unfavorable for ships to pass.
Therefore, in the summer and autumn rainy seasons, waterways are never the choice for marching.
On the east side of Xiayuan City, on the northeast bank of Jingxiang Lake, the valley between Bijia Mountain and Xiaoping Mountain is slightly flat, so it becomes the way out of Xiayuan East.
However, it is said that it is a valley road, but it is also narrow and dangerous to confront the hills and mountains on both sides, which is not conducive to the rapid passage of large groups of troops and horses.
Zhou Zhizheng was not good at military affairs, but he traveled to various places in the morning and was very familiar with the geographical situation of Jiangxi.
After the Battle of Shangrao, Lin Fu did not immediately lead the army to attack Yuanzhou, but sent people to recruit Huang Binghao to surrender.
Although the road mileage from Xiayuan to Xinyu is less than half of that from Yuzhang to Xinyu, the two armies from Xiayuan and Yuzhang moved to Xinyu at the same time. The cavalry on the Zhang side will go first, and it may not necessarily be slightly slower than this side.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhizheng shook his head, justified his worries, and said, "If you care, you will be confused..."
Wu Jingze smiled, and discussed with Zhou Zhizheng about contacting the Lord to send officials and generals.
Since the meeting of the surrender in May, the Yuanzhou army has been divided into three factions, one is the main faction, the other is neutral, and the other is the main battle.
The main war faction and the main descending faction who really stand firm are in the minority, and more people are still watching from the wall: even if they know that Huaidong is powerful, they are afraid of liquidation afterward, and they want to keep their current official position and power. .
Since Huang Binghao was determined to fight against Huaidong, even if he could not purge Yuanzhou's main surrender faction for a while, he would not relax his vigilance. Except for the troops and horses that left for Xinyu, there were nearly 10,000 troops and horses who stayed in Yuanzhou and Xiayuan. Most of them are the main descendants who need vigilance and surveillance.
As long as Chen Zishou led the main force of Yuanzhou army to Xinyu to be defeated, Zhou Zhizheng could control the situation in Yuanzhou and Xiayuan if he could contact the officials and generals sent by the main surrender, and force Huang Binghao to surrender together.
Fast horses and carts drove, and it was late at night when they arrived in Yuanzhou.
The grain and forage transported from Yuanzhou Xiaba to Xiayuan and Xinyu have been loaded into the cart and are waiting for the opening in the morning.
****************
Zhou Zhizheng said that he was going back to Yuanzhou to supervise the grain, so he stopped in Yuanzhou city in the middle of the night, and after dawn, he went down to Yuan with the grain.
In addition to being out of Huang Binghao's field of vision, Zhou Zhizheng couldn't run a round trip in vain. The captain of the army who escorted the grain was not someone else, but Zhou Qichang, Zhou Zhizheng's nephew.
Zhou Qichang was only a battalion general and was not a direct descendant of Huang Binghao and Chen Zishou. He was even implicated in the army and suppressed because Zhou Zhizheng had a bad relationship with Huang Binghao in the early days.
Yuanzhou had 40,000 soldiers and horses and more than 200 generals above the battalion level. Zhou Qichang was inconspicuous at all. Even when the people of Yuanzhou were arguing about recruiting and surrendering, there was no room for Zhou Qichang to express his position.
There were more than 400 soldiers under Zhou Qichang's command, of which 150 or 60 were descendants of the Zhou clan or fellow villagers.
Although this force was not very conspicuous before and could not play a crucial role, but Chen Zishou led the main force of Yuanzhou army to Xinyu, Huang Binghao's guards in Xiayuan City were no more than 4,000, and the remaining troops in Yuanzhou City were no more than 2,000. , If these four or five hundred people can completely obey Zhou Zhizheng, then the meaning will be very different.
In addition to the soldiers and horses being escorted, there were more than 500 civilians who were brought in by force. The speed of the carriage was naturally not fast, and it took only a long time to walk less than 30 miles. Zhou Zhi was watching the hot sun. Zhou Qichang, who was walking across the horse in armor, said: "The sun is hot, Qichang, you ordered to go down, take a break for an hour and watch the sun before you go too late."
Listening to Zhou Zhizheng's words, he first pulled the reins to stop the carriage and looked back at Zhou Qichang.
"This batch of grain will go directly through Xiayuan City to Xinyu," Zhou Qichang said, wiping the sweat from his forehead, "If we rest for an hour at this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to pass through Xiayuan City just before night tomorrow... …”
"Chen Zishou led the troops to go first, and the soldiers all had five or six days' worth of dry food. After arriving in Xinyu, they could also raise food from the local area. I'm not afraid that we will be delayed by a day or two - just go and tell me that," Zhou Zhizheng said. "Furthermore, you summoned Qi Sheng and Zhou Xiu's disciples from the Zhou family, and I haven't been with you juniors for quite a few days."
Although Zhou Qichang was puzzled, he also ordered the team to stop and rest according to Zhou Zhizheng's instructions.
Even if it is not said that Zhou Zhizheng's official position is far higher than that of Zhou Qichang in the Yuanzhou Governor's Mansion, Zhou Qichang will not oppose him because of Zhou Zhizheng's status and prestige.
When Huang Binghao first compiled and trained Jiangzhou, he focused on rural bravery, so it was inevitable that the position of lieutenant general should be controlled by the villagers and children of the great clan. At the same time, Huang Binghao wanted to use the cohesion of the clan and the village to increase the combat effectiveness of the battalion, and he could only condone the gathering and formation of the generals and soldiers in the unit of the village and the clan, forming a situation in which the soldiers were the generals and the interests of the clan came first.
Although Huang Binghao was still able to control most of Yuanzhou's troops at this time, in front of the battalion general and the small school who were either Zhou's children or four or five hundred soldiers of Zhou Zhizheng's younger generation, Huang Binghao's words might not be more effective than Zhou Zhizheng's. .
"The privy envoy sent someone to Yuanzhou to surrender, saying that Yuanzhou would only be safe by cutting Xinyu, and there was no room for concessions. Before the deadline given by the privy envoy, the governor sent Chen Zishou to capture Xinyu," Zhou Zhizheng said. He got out of the car, walked to a boulder beside the road, sat down, and asked Zhou Qichang, Zhou Qisheng, Zhou Xiu and other Zhou children, "What do you think about this?"
Zhou Qichang, Zhou Qisheng, and Zhou Xiu were all stunned for a while: Zhou Zhizheng warned them not to talk about this matter casually, and Zhou Zhizheng's attitude on this matter was also neutral, how could it be that Chen Zishou would lead his troops to Xinyu, and the matter was a foregone conclusion After that, did you discuss this matter in the clan?
"At this time, Luo and She both surrendered to Yan's captives and joined forces to use troops against Nanyang. Huang Binghao also intended to follow suit. He sent troops to Xinyu, not to stand up for Yuanzhou, but to help Yan's captives in Yuanzhou to contain Huaidong's forces in the hinterland of Jiangxi. Make it impossible to cross the river to participate in the war," Zhou Zhizheng said, "Huang Binghao is stubborn, he has made up his mind, others will never change it, and I have to submit. Let me explain it to you..."
"Good people don't do it, but they want to be a dog." Zhou Xiu, who was rough-looking, couldn't bear his temper. Since Zhou Zhizheng expressed his dissatisfaction, there was no need for these Zhou clan's children to be shrewd and scolded. Come, "Wait for Xiayuan, there is a small road between Mengshan to go to Yangle. From what I see, regardless of those ghosts, we will burn these baggage and go directly to Yuzhang..."
"Hugh is talking nonsense," Zhou Qichang stopped Zhou Xiu, suppressed his voice, and said, "You are going well, what about the wives and children in Yuanzhou City?" Wu Jingze glanced.
Wu Jingze quite appreciates Zhou Qichang's vigilance.
Zhou Xiu had nothing to say to Zhou Qichang. Their families were all in Yuanzhou City, and Zhou Zhizheng was the chief of the Zhou clan. Abandoned and fled to Yuzhang alone?
Zhou Zhizheng wouldn't explain it all at once, he just patted Zhou Qichang and pretended to sigh helplessly.
The Zhou family's children were all very frustrated and helpless.
At this time, there were several fast horses galloping from the east with whips. When they came to the front, they restrained the horses, and the first person said directly to Zhou Zhizheng: "Lord Zhou, you have an order, please supervise the grain and grass to speed up, and there must be no delay on the road!"
The person who came was Huang Binghao's personal guard school. He rode on horseback and conveyed Huang Binghao's orders to Zhou Zhizheng, showing contempt for Zhou Zhizheng, who was a civil servant, and told Zhou Qichang and other Zhou's children to see it in the eyes. Very dissatisfied.
Zhou Xiu couldn't hold his breath the most, and his face was very condensed. If he hadn't been intimidated by Huang Binghao's remaining power, he would have stepped forward to grab the man off his horse and beat him.
Zhou Zhizheng was not annoyed either, he knew that Huang Binghao would not send a confidant around him just to urge the food, and asked, "Your Excellency asked General Chen to come to urge the food, but what happened in Xinyu?"
"There is a fight with the Huaidong Army in Xinyu," Xiao Xiao said indifferently, "General Zishou can't enter the city in Xinyu for a while, so he can't raise food from the local area, and I want you to go fast, Lord Zhou. Some."
"..." Zhou Zhizheng suppressed his beating heart and asked calmly, "How come, how could the Huaidong Army come so quickly?"
Zhou Zhizheng's heart was beating wildly, and his fingers were trembling uncontrollably; however, he asked Xiao Xiao to see it, only when Zhou Zhi was afraid of the Huaidong Army, and he despised these courageous clerks even more in his heart, and said, "Should The envoy sent by Yuzhang to discuss the surrender, there are only more than 600 people, although the number of the envoys is more than the last time, they also came to Yuanzhou to show off their power, just to sacrifice the flag to General Zishou! Why is Master Zhou panic?"
"Ah!" Zhou Zhizheng couldn't contain the disappointment in his heart, he couldn't bear to look at Wu Jingze and asked him what was going on, he forced himself to calmly said, "This is good, this is good, but don't let any accident happen. The Governor's plan has been fulfilled!"
"It can't be broken," said the guard with a arrogant smile, "Huaidong soldiers are also flesh, not iron. General Zhang Xiongshan alone has the courage to fight against a hundred enemies. More than 600 horsemen are not enough to sacrifice to the clan. That's fine, if Huaidong's spirit is shattered, Yuanzhou's troops and horses will definitely be boosted in morale!"
The Huaidong Army beat the elites of the She family like dogs, and the generals of Yuanzhou themselves were defeated by the She family.
Now that he has the opportunity to eat Huaidong's small army and boost his morale, Zhou Zhizheng can imagine Huang Binghao's excitement.
Zhou Zhizheng knew that the Huaidong Army had more than 4,000 cavalry in Yuzhang, and they sent troops from Yuzhang to seize Xinyu City before Chen Zishou, so it shouldn't be less than 3,000 cavalry!
However, when he heard the personal guard next to Huang Binghao said that Zhang Xiongshan's vanguard had only encountered six or seven hundred soldiers and horses from Huaidong outside Xinyu City, Zhou Zhizheng's heart kept sinking, thinking that something happened over Yuzhang. Unpredictable events.
In order to take Xinyu by surprise, Huang Binghao used Zhang Xiongshan as the vanguard, and the three thousand pioneers who led the way were all Huang Binghao's personal soldiers; and Chen Zishou led the main force of the Chinese army with 20,000 people behind; Pioneer soldiers and horses, even if they arrive in Xinyu first, how can they resist Chen Zishou from entering Xinyu City?
Zhou Zhizheng sent Huang Binghao's personal guard back to Yuancheng first, and then he couldn't hold back his worries, he pulled Wu Jingze aside, suppressed his voice, and asked worriedly, "Yuzhang dispatched How come there are only so few vanguard soldiers?"
Wu Jingze said with a smile: "Huang Binghao and Chen Zishou asked Huaidong to be like a tiger, this is a desperate gamble, how could they be careless? Chen Zishou led 30,000 soldiers and horses to Xinyu, and they were in Mengshan and Moshan in the east and north of Xinyu. Between the mountains, it is impossible not to send a large number of scouts to monitor the movements of Yangle and Yuzhang. Without the cover of extreme weather such as extreme nights, heavy rain and fog, it would be difficult for the Huaidong Army to ambush unexpectedly. If Chen Zishou was called in advance When I found out that 3,000 elite cavalrymen in Huaidong suddenly appeared in the northern border of Xinyu, didn't I want to scare him away?"
Wu Jingze pulled Zhou Zhizheng down again, drew Yuanzhou's topography on the ground, and analyzed it for him, "From Xiayuan to Xinyu, the road is narrow, and the flanks are steep and steep, so it is difficult to sneak attack from the flanks. Zhang Xiongshan took the lead. In the front, Chen Zishou's central army and rear have not even left the territory of Yuan County. If Chen Zishou leads the main force to turn around and flee to Yuancheng after the battle with Zhang Xiongshan, our department will definitely take Zhang Xiongshan. After being completely defeated, the main force led by Chen Zishou can be pursued again, and there is no possibility of detouring and outflanking - I think Yuzhang will send a small number of troops first, one is to prevent Zhang Xiongshan's first army from capturing Xinyu, and the other is to prevent Chen Zishou's army. The main force will be led around Xinyu City, and Chen Zishou will not be given a chance to escape back to Xiayuan City!"
"Oh," Zhou Zhizheng didn't know about military affairs after all. Seeing Wu Jingze's calmness, he didn't panic so much, but he didn't feel relieved. With the courage of one enemy to a hundred, Yuzhang sent six or seven hundred people to go first, can you hold them back?"
Wu Jingze said with a smile: "The three thousand soldiers and horses that followed Zhang Xiongshan were the elites of the Yuanzhou army, but I think the six or seven hundred people sent by Yuzhang should also be the elites of the Huaidong army. I don't know if the elites of the Yuanzhou army are more powerful. Or the elites of the Huaidong Army are more powerful—however, the main purpose of Yuzhang's advance troops should be to delay the main force of Chen Zishou from entering the ruined city of Xinyu, and it will not be so easy to eat."
"If you care about chaos, if you care about chaos." Zhou Zhizheng laughed at himself, thinking about it too, if Lin Furen was in Yuzhang City, if the first soldiers and horses were his elite guards, it would be from 300,000 Huaidong The soldiers selected from the army are the elite of the elites who have moved to the world. Maybe any small school has the courage to fight against a hundred enemies. As for Huang Binghao's personal guards, they were only selected from Jiangzhou. Chen Zishou and Zhang Xiongshan rarely met an opponent in Jiangzhou, but in the world, they would not necessarily be able to rank.
Zhou Zhizheng said again: "Mr. Wu is so familiar with military affairs, why didn't he lead troops to fight?"
Zhou Zhizheng saw that Wu Jingze knew geography, hydrology, soldiers and generals, and strategy, so he was a rare general. For such a character, Huaidong's army did not use him to stand alone and lead the army to fight, but it was a pity to use him to hide in Yuanzhou.
Wu Jingze laughed and said, "There are so many good generals in Huaidong, but Jingze's skills are a little weak, so he can't bear the heavy responsibility of leading the troops..." He had the opportunity to stay in the third commander of the Changshan Army to serve as Yu Wencheng's deputy, but Yuanzhou's side The matter was also very important, so Lin Fu temporarily transferred him over.
However, in the Huaidong Army, Lin Fu attached great importance to the work of the Military Intelligence Division, and Wu Jingze and the others would not feel neglected.
Wu Jingze added: "Since it is ensured that Yuzhang has dispatched troops to Xinyu, then we must speed up the pace..."
"Oh," Zhou Zhizheng asked, "why?"
"I estimate," Wu Jingze said, "the main force of the cavalry battalion in Yuzhang will arrive at the Xinyu battlefield by tomorrow noon at the latest. The main force of the cavalry camp will arrive in Xinyu one day later, but Chen Zishou may turn around and flee down to Yuanyuan after the main force of the cavalry camp arrives. Calculate the time, we should pass through Xiayuan City before nightfall tomorrow. Before noon the day after tomorrow, park the fleet at the mouth of the gorge at the northeastern foot of Xiaoping Mountain!"
"Do you want to block Chen Zishou's escape?" Zhou Zhizheng asked ~www.mtlnovel.com~ There is no need to block it completely. At that time, we can just throw away the carriage and escape. "Wu Jingze laughed.
There are only four or five hundred people here, and they may not all be able to obey Zhou Zhizheng. They are used by Huang Binghao as a ration soldier, and their combat power is limited. If Chen Zishou led his troops to flee to Yuan, and blocked the road with these four or five hundred people, he didn't know how many would survive in the end - if Huaidong was elite, he could risk his life for the victory of the overall situation, but Wu Jingze did not. I hope I can convince the disciples of the Zhou family, who have been kept in the dark at this time, to work so hard for Huaidong.
The gorge at the northeastern foot of Xiaoping Mountain mentioned by Wu Jingze is the narrowest and most dangerous opening between Xiayuan and Xinyu. The carts and the mules and horses that were pulling the carts were all thrown into that opening, causing confusion. At least they could block the Yuanzhou army fleeing down to Yuancheng for a short while outside the opening of the gorge.
As for whether it will work in the end, it must be prepared in advance.
Wu Jingze explained the plan to Zhou Zhizheng in detail, and Zhou Zhizheng said it was wonderful. At that time, Chen Zishou will lead his troops back to escape, and they will throw away the baggage and escape first. Even if Huang Binghao is furious, he will not think of going elsewhere with suspicion.
Although Zhou Zhizheng had made up his mind to join Huaidong, he had no intention of throwing away the lives of the children of the four or five hundred township tribes to fight for wealth. The reason why he voted for Huaidong was that Huaidong was so powerful that he would not have the heart to fight in life, and more importantly, it was to protect the township.
If it weren't for this, Zhou Zhizheng and Huang Binghao would have sought Yanhu's wealth long ago. Yan Hu Xu Huang Binghao was named king, and the few civil servants and generals at the core of his men were naturally named princes and marquis. Zhou Zhizheng didn't think that Huaidong would give him the wealth of a prince, and he was not so greedy. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
