Chapter 919 Visitors from Jinzhou City

"Do you think that the commander-in-chief ordered Lin Fangping to cross the border to take risks, just for fun?"

Facing Zhang Cheng's rhetorical question, He Biao, Zhang Guangda, Zhang Guodong and the others didn't know how to answer, but Wei Zhice answered from the side: "The town commander ordered the Tiger Guards to make a dangerous attack. Could it be that he intends to show off the military prestige of our Xuanfu? And see if the slave chief really returns to Shengjing."

After Zhang Cheng walked back to the big case, he smiled and said to them: "Tell me the truth."

"There are three other things?"

While Wei Zhice was asking, he waved to Zhang Chengfang who was waiting on the sidelines, and went forward to fill the crowd with new tea, and they just sat around Zhang Cheng like this.

Several of them are Zhang Cheng's old subordinates, they are the most core group of people in the Xuanfu army, and their relationship with Zhang Cheng is also very subtle, both as subordinates and as brothers and friends.

After several people sat down, Zhang Cheng said slowly: "I just guessed that the slave chief Hongtai is likely to return to Shenyang at this time, so I took the risk of arranging the Tiger Guard camp to cross the river to investigate."

Zhang Guangda's eyes widened, and he praised from the side: "The commander-in-chief predicts the enemy's attack first, and we all know it well. He always teaches us to admire him, but the general really can't figure it out. How did the commander-in-chief predict the enemy's attack?" In the chief’s stomach?”

Ever since Zhang Cheng was promoted to the post of general of the Xuanfu by order, and was granted the title of General Zhenshuo, all the generals under his command no longer called him the commander in chief, but changed their name to "the commander in chief of the town".

This title is really derived from the unique title of the general of the Xuanfu. Because the general of the Xuanfu generally bears the seal of General Zhenshuo, so the successive generals of the Xuanfu in the middle and late Ming Dynasty were mostly given the title of "Zhenshuo" by their subordinates. Handsome" called it.

Today, Zhang Cheng is already the official commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town in the Ming Dynasty, and he also has the seal of General Zhenshuo. It was only at this time that he became a true general with a seal.

But at this moment, facing Zhang Guangda's question, Zhang Cheng just smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't leak the secret!"

Naturally, Zhang Cheng couldn't tell them that he came here through time travel, and these ingenious schemes of anticipating the enemy's opportunities were actually all based on his past life memories!
Even if Zhang Cheng dared to tell the truth, would they believe it?
At that time, how to explain to them what time travel is?

But now, it only needs to say "the secret must not be revealed" to completely cover up this problem, and it also adds to the mystery of oneself, so why not do it!

Zhang Guangda's question was prevaricated, and Zhang Cheng also returned to the original topic. He continued: "The reason why I secretly ordered Fang Ping to intercept and kill the slave chieftain, besides what Zhice said just now, is to use this to stimulate A slave chief."

"Why is this?"

Faced with Zhang Guodong's question, Zhang Cheng continued: "You also know that when we fought against the slaves a while ago, we captured some of the slave thieves, such as Pashiku, and we also learned that when the slave chieftain came from Shenyang, he took a lot of money along the way. The bowl is full of blood."

A crisp "pop" sound.

It turned out that Zhang Guangda slapped his own thigh with a sudden palm, and he said hastily: "Yes, what is that... called nose... what is it called nose?"

"Estaxis." He Biao reminded at the right time.

"exactly."

Zhang Guangda said urgently, "It's the nose or something."

Wei Zhice who was standing next to him shook his head, and explained to him, "It's fine if you think so, that is to say, the nosebleeds keep flowing, and when riding a horse, you have to hold a bowl in your hand, which is specially used to catch the nosebleeds." .”

"Ah, darling..."

Zhang Guangda opened his mouth wide, and it took him a long time to speak again: "This is a bit scary. I said it can't be true, right?"

With a look of suspicion on his face, he asked the crowd again: "How much blood do you think this person can have in his body, and he can bleed like this, and it won't torture people to death?"

A smile appeared on Wei Zhice's face, and he continued, "Isn't this in line with what our commander-in-chief wants."

"Hahaha……"

Zhang Cheng and Wei Zhice looked at each other and smiled, and the rest of them also laughed together.

After a while, the laughter faded away, Wei Zhice looked at Zhang Cheng and said, "The meaning of the commander-in-chief is to follow Zhuge Kongming's strategy of killing Zhou Gongjin in anger?"

"Is it Zhuge Liang's three qi Zhou Yu?"

Zhang Guangda seemed to understand at this time, and he hurriedly asked: "But Zhuge Liang is Zhou Yu with three qi, so he was pissed off to death, and we are only one qi slave chief Hong Tai, can we succeed?"

"Of course not."

Zhang Cheng smiled and continued: "Zhuge Liang's three spirits of Zhou Yu, those are the words of a novelist, and they are not completely credible."

He went on to say: "However, it does not prevent us from using this strategy."

Zhang Cheng waved his hand to signal Zhang Chengfang to fill the tea for everyone, and then continued: "I didn't think about this time, I would piss the slave chief to death, but as long as I can make him angry, I will add fuel to the fire for him. It just achieved the purpose.”

"This sentry is actually a demonstration. Taking advantage of the new defeat of the Tatars and the low morale, sending out surprise soldiers to intercept the slave chieftains and defeat the slave chieftains' guards in the cavalry battle will deal a great blow to the slaves. Heart and morale.

Just like Fang Ping this time, although he was evenly matched with the guards of the slave chief, but you can see that this time the enemy and our horses are equal, and it is also the field riding that the slaves are best at.

But Fangping's Tiger Guards camp was not timid, instead they killed the slaves and retreated again and again, not daring to pursue them, this is a big victory for me. "

When Zhang Cheng said this, his eyes scanned the crowd, and he continued: "The reason why I want to spread the word in the army is to inspire the morale of our army. Although the barbarians are strong, they are not invincible." .

The soldiers of my Xuanfu Army, as long as they are not timid in front of the battle, they can all fight bravely to take the lead, and slaves and bandits are not invincible.

Even if we don't rely on chariots, firecrackers and artillery to assist in the battle, as long as our army is well-trained and brave in battle, we can still repel slaves and even defeat them in field battles. "

"The commander-in-chief is so insightful, he is so farsighted and considerate, I really admire him!" Wei Zhice actually picked up the teapot himself and poured tea for Zhang Cheng.

Then everyone talked about the jingle written by Zhang Cheng, and after laughing for a while, they all retreated.

Before leaving, Zhang Cheng reminded them that although the Xuanfu army had no war arrangements recently, the battalions should not ignore it. The sergeants still had to practice continuously every day and stay in a fighting state at any time, waiting for orders.

But when several people asked him if he had any arrangements, Zhang Cheng just shook his head and remained silent.

…………

After Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, summoned all the officials and generals to discuss the matter, on the second night for some reason, a place more than two miles east of the confluence of Nuer River and Xiaoling River, facing the Nanguan of Jinzhou City, was suddenly lit up. Transparent, screaming to kill and shake the sky.

The restless sound spread to the south bank, and all the battalions of the Ming army were shocked. They thought that the Qing army was crossing the river to attack the camp at night, and hurriedly waved their lights and trumpets. The Qing army attacked.

All the officials and generals looked suspicious, even Hong Chengchou, the usually calm governor of Jiliao, was a little bit out of character. He didn't have all the armor on, he only wore a woolen cloak outside, and hurried over.

He stood in front of the army formation and looked at the opposite bank. He saw that the soaring flames and shouts of killing were mainly concentrated on the south pass of Jinzhou. At first glance, it seemed that the Qing army was going to cross the river to attack.

But listening carefully, the bursts of shouts of killing seemed to be far away from him, and there was no sign of gradually approaching the south bank, and everyone's hearts gradually settled down.

They all speculated about what happened to the Qing army on the other side. Of course, it was most likely that Zu Dashou in Jinzhou City killed them. Even if Zu Dashou didn't personally lead people to kill them, he sent troops out of the city to fight at night.

But why did Zu Dashou send troops out of the city today to attack the Qing army camp at night? Although the officials and generals have different opinions, they all guess very unreliably.

But what Wu Sangui said as his nephew seemed to fit the truth, I just heard him say: "Duke Hong, I think the city must have been cut off and there is no way to make a living, so he left the city to attack at night, I am afraid he will send people across the river to ask for help. "

Regarding Wu Sangui's words, everyone thought it was true, even Governor Hong Chengchou was moved and said: "The salaries of the talents in the city have been insufficient, it is really difficult for the ancestors."

At this moment, all the officials and generals surrounded Hong Chengchou, and they were all on a high platform built for commanding crossing the river on the south bank of the Naughty River. Search in the east, in the direction of Jinzhou Nanguan, and see if there is any news from the city."

Wu Sangui was obviously a little anxious, he said: "Hong Du, how about the last general leading the troops in person?"

"Alright, please trouble General Changbo then."

…………

After Wu Sangui left, Hong Chengchou and all the officers and generals did not dare to go back to the camp to rest, they all gathered here to watch the movement on the other side, so it was not until after the second watch that the other side became calm, obviously the battle was over.

But after waiting left and right, Wu Sangui still didn't come to repay. When it was close to the third watch, they saw a blaze running back from the east. Everyone guessed that it must be Wu Sangui's repayment, but they didn't know whether it was good or bad.

After a while, Guo saw Wu Sangui hurried up the high platform, came to Governor Hong Chengchou and said: "Director Hong, the city sent someone to ask for help."

"Oh."

Hong Chengchou asked: "How did you get the news, but someone came across the river?"

"Yes, the end will save one person on the river bank."

"Where is the man, but he is injured?" Hong Chengchou asked anxiously.

Wu Sangui clasped his fists and replied: "Report to Governor Hong, the clothes here are soaked and bloodstained all over his body, the general has already ordered someone to escort him to the Governor's Xingyuan."

"it is good."

Hong Chengchou nodded his head to express his satisfaction, and praised: "General Changbo, you are prudent and prudent in handling things, and you really live up to the old man's expectations."

Then he said to everyone: "Go, go back to Xingyuan."

In Governor Ji Liao's big tent, all the officials are sitting on the hatchback, and in the middle of a soft chair is sitting a thin middle-aged man.
