Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 962 It’s better to chase the poor bandits

"I think it works." Mu Ying immediately agreed. "If we don't take advantage of their overwhelming defeat to get more results, and then wait for them to gain a firm foothold before attacking, the price will be high."

"Well, if that's the case, let's do it." Fu Youde nodded heavily and said: "The top priority is to find out where Dalima's army is. Send scouts immediately, disguised and follow the defeated troops to conduct reconnaissance!"

"What a good idea." Mu Ying praised them first, and then suggested: "Since the army is defeated, there is no time to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. Then it is better to send more troops to follow them and see if they can fish in troubled waters."

"You mean..." Fu Youde looked at Mu Ying.

"Today's interrogation of the prisoners revealed that Qujing has gathered a total of 50,000 troops, and Yaizhu has brought out more than 20,000. Dalima still has to leave someone to look after the house, so only 20,000 troops can be mobilized at most at one time." Mu Ying said calmly. Voice:

"What Yaizhu is counting on is an army of 20,000 yuan. But according to the general's opinion, Dalima may not dare to come with only this few people."

"Yes." Fu Youde nodded in agreement and said: "He is a clear observer, unlike those who are obsessed with the Zhuzhu authorities. He can definitely see that Puding Fort is a trap. Even if he can't resist the temptation and bites the hook, he will definitely not dare to bring only these people. "

"So the general guesses that he is likely to mobilize the troops around Qujing and gather a hundred and eighty thousand people to dare to send troops." Mu Ying said softly: "Otherwise, even if Puding Fort is not a trap, he will not be able to resist coming to rescue His Highness. army."

"Indeed, he built Puding Fort. He should know best. Let alone ten sieges, there is no way to break the city without five times the strength." Fu Youde agreed with Mu Ying's judgment and said clearly: "If this is the case , the reinforcements who have been waiting for a long time may not have left Qujing yet."

"It's just a guess. We need to investigate to confirm." Mu Ying said with a smile.

"Hahaha, it turns out that Marquis Xiping has a bigger appetite than me. I just want to take the opportunity to capture Pu'an Village and see if there is a chance to win over Luoshan City. It would be better for you to make your decision directly to Shengjing Pass." Fu Youde couldn't help but He smiled and said, "If this can knock down Shengjingguan, it will really hit Darima in the throat."

"Yes. After passing Shengjing Pass, there is only one Bailong River left, which can still help Qu Jing block it." Mu Ying said in a deep voice:

"So if we just capture Pu'anluo Mountain and stop, Dalima will definitely try his best to strengthen the defense of Shengjing Pass, and then we will still be in trouble."

"Well, if you want to do it, just do it to the end, and get it right in one step!" Fu Youde nodded heavily and praised Mu Ying: "Marquis Xiping's ability to adapt to changes is amazing."

"The general just thought of it." Mu Ying smiled humbly and said, "I didn't expect the Pu'an Luoshan tribe to surrender at this time, so I didn't dare to hope that I could easily win the Shengjing Pass. Now the opportunity suddenly appeared in front of me. , it’s really itchy.”

"Well, when the opportunity arises, you should be bolder." Fu Youde agreed: "The brave will starve to death and the timid will starve to death!"

"Then the general will take people to try his luck?" Mu Ying said with a smile: "The general has already sent a magic weapon from the sky, so he must give us a chance to show off."

"Okay, I won't compete with you." Fu Youde also said with a smile. It is an unwritten rule in the army that whoever comes up with a dangerous move must lead others to take risks. The idea of ​​blindly commanding others to die did not exist in the Ming army in this era.

"How many people will you take?"

"While cleaning the battlefield, I asked them to bring back a batch of Yuan army uniforms, almost 4,000 pieces." Mu Ying said, "I should be able to bring 4,000 chieftains."

"The military uniforms are all ready, and they said they just thought of it." Fu Youde laughed and said, "I think you have been planning this for a long time."

"Haha, I wanted to be prepared at the time, but I didn't expect to use it so quickly." Mu Ying explained with a smile.

"How can we do it with the chieftain soldiers alone? You can bring two thousand selected forwards with you." Fu Youde ordered again: "Half of the selected forwards and half of the chieftain soldiers can ensure the combat effectiveness."

"Okay, be safe." Mu Ying didn't refuse.

"Be sure to ensure safety. If the situation is bad, forget it. Don't act recklessly." Fu Youde warned worriedly. “Understood.” Mu Ying nodded in agreement.

~~

After receiving Fu Youde's approval, Mu Ying immediately called several Qianhu households in the selection and assigned the task concisely:

"... With the surrender of the Pu'an Luoshan tribe, the situation is immediately very favorable to us - the fleeing Yuan army will definitely not dare to enter Pu'an Village and Luoshan City again, and will definitely flee directly back to Shengjing Pass."

"We can also bypass Luoshan City in Pu'anzhai and follow them into Shengjing Pass without worrying about being cut off!" Mu Ying said to Qi Xiang and others in a deep voice: "If we can take the opportunity to capture Shengjing Pass, Wumeng The natural danger will be completely lost to us, and Qujing will have no danger to defend and will have no choice but to fight us head-on!"

"Okay!" Thousands of households heard this with excitement. As long as they could stand head-on, they were confident of winning!

"Then don't be verbose. If you have any questions, we can talk about it on the way." Mu Ying gave some more instructions, then waved her hand and asked the thousands of households to quickly gather their teams and get ready to set off.

"Yes!" Thousands of households responded and turned around to disperse.

Mu Ying stopped Qi Xiang and said, "Qi Qianhu will stay here for a while."

"Master..." Qi Xiang stopped and looked at Mu Ying with a wry smile.

"Brother Qi, I didn't expect to meet you here!" Mu Ying did not shy away from others and gave Qi Xiang a firm hug.

"We haven't seen each other for almost ten years, right?"

"Eleven years..." Qi Xiang was a little shy and whispered: "I haven't seen the Marquis since I was sent away from my humble position."

"Oh, time flies so fast!" Mu Ying said excitedly: "The scene when we stood guard together and worked for the emperor together seems to be right in front of our eyes."

"Yes, time flies so fast. You were only twelve years old at that time...but now you are a noble lord and deputy commander of the army." Qi Xiang's eyes were also a little moist.

"I have to kowtow to you."

"Your brother has never met a big shot, so what does it matter to the Marquis?" Mu Ying said with a smile: "Besides, we have stood guard together and slept on the same kang, so don't do that!"

Then he asked with concern: "How are you, sister-in-law and nephew okay?"

"That's what I am like." Qi Xiang replied: "Everything is fine at home, but your sister-in-law's mouth is meaner than when she was young, making people unable to stay at home and would rather come and fight against Yunnan."

"Haha, you are a woman." Mu Ying said with a smile: "I will make a big contribution later and earn a life to slap her in the face. I'm sure all her problems will be gone!"

At this time, he saw A Mang and several Mukui coming, so he stopped talking and said, "I have to explain to these local officials first. You can also go and do your work. Let's talk slowly on the way."

"Okay." Qi Xiang nodded quickly and left. After walking a while, he greeted Yu Min who was still standing not far away: "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Let's go."
