Dominate Marvel

After hearing this, Gao Mingheng thought for a long time and said: "The bandits have been besieging the city for a long time, and the morale of the soldiers is low. If we go out of the city to fight, are you sure?"

Gao Mingheng was a civil servant and a high-ranking official in the border areas. It was said that he looked down upon generals. But now Kaifeng must rely heavily on Chen Yongfu. He knew that his military strategy was inferior, so if there was a war, he would discuss it with Chen Yongfu.

Chen Yongfu said: "The thief general Liu Fangliang has disappeared. Whether there are reinforcements coming to help or there are other conspiracies and tricks, it is imperative to conduct a test. Sir, if reinforcements come, the test will be worry-free and can boost morale." . If the thief has a conspiracy, temptation is inevitable."

Gao Mingheng thought for a while, nodded and said: "That makes sense. How about this? You go with me to see King Zhou and ask him for his opinion?"

Chen Yongfu had no problem, so he and Gao Mingheng went to the Zhou palace and met the Zhou king not long after.

The king of Zhou was already not young, and he knew his destiny at sixty. Moreover, King Zhou was different from King Fu. King Fu held on to his gold and silver until his death, while King Zhou gave generously. Most likely, he is a wise man.

After hearing what Chen Yongfu and Gao Mingheng said, King Zhou thought about it for a moment, then asked a middle-aged Taoist next to him.

"What do you think?"

When the king of Zhou asked the Taoist priest, Gao Mingheng and Chen Yongfu were not dissatisfied. But it is this Taoist who is said to be the Dinghai Shenzhen of Kaifeng.

The intruders besieged Kaifeng this time, and there were strangers to help them. In the past, strangers used magic to attack the city, or spread poison to cause harm, but it was the Taoist in front of him who used mysterious means to solve the disaster.

If not for this, Kaifeng City would have been invaded by intruders and even become a ghost town.

It is precisely with this Taoist in charge that Kaifeng can persist for so long.

The Taoist had a kind face and a green beard under his chin. His expression was quite leisurely. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "The king of Zhou thinks highly of the poor Taoist, but the poor Taoist is no more than an outsider and has not made any great achievements in military affairs."

King Zhou smiled and said, "Zhenren Li doesn't have to be humble. If you have any ideas, just tell them."

Li Zhenren smiled: "That's fine."

He thought for a moment: "What Mr. Chen said is extremely reasonable. It is nothing more than reinforcements or a conspiracy. After testing it out, there is nothing wrong."

King Zhou nodded slightly: "Since the real person has the same view, Mr. Chen can give it a try. If there is any need, I will agree to it."

Chen Yongfu bowed and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty."

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Yongfu selected a thousand elite soldiers, and when night fell, he went out of the city for a surprise attack, and actually easily broke through Liu Fangliang's camp. Only then did I realize that there was no main force in the bandit camp, they were all old, weak, sick and disabled.

Chen Yongfu captured some thieves. After interrogation, he learned that Liu Fangliang had left the camp outside Kaifeng with the main force yesterday.

As for where he went specifically, Chen Yongfu did not ask. But the little thieves don't know and can't even ask.

After returning to the city and reporting the situation, Gao Mingheng and King Zhou couldn't help but be confused.

"Could it be that the intruders want to retreat?" King Zhou asked.

Chen Yongfu said: "However, the offensive in the west and east of the city is still fierce."

"What's the plan of this intruder?" King Zhou looked at Gao Mingheng.

How did Gao Mingheng know? Nian Xu asked: "Could it be that there are really soldiers and horses from the imperial court coming to help?"

But King Zhou slowly shook his head: "The thieves surrounded Kaifeng, but it is not leak-proof. The current situation of Zuo's army is clear at a glance. Hou Xun is still in Hebei, and Sun Chuanting is still recruiting troops. Unless Ding Qirui, where will the reinforcements come from?"

It's not that King Zhou looked down on Ding Qirui. To be honest, when he broke into the second siege of Kaifeng last time, Ding Qirui had no achievements and was timid. King Zhou had long seen through it.

Unless Hou Xun and Sun Chuanting both attack, how can Ding Qirui have the courage to march north?

At this moment, an official from the palace came to report that someone wanted to see him.

King Zhou asked: "Who wants to see you?"

The official Shu Zuo said: "It is said that he is a person from the south who insists on seeing the king. Seeing that he is serious about his duties, the villain does not dare to neglect and reports to the king quickly."

King Zhou was startled, looked at each other with Gao Mingheng and others, and said, "Please come quickly."

After a while, three sergeants with strong bodies and military aura walked into the hall.

Although these three people were empty-handed, they had a fierce spirit.

The leader is not Zhang Shi, so who is it?

He actually came in person, and his courage was getting bigger and bigger.

With Ying Yi's successive victories and the wonderful use of the Humanity Ranking, the spirit of the soldiers under Ying Yi's command was already different from before. Each and every one of them looked at the majestic appearance, which was very different from almost all the Ming troops in this era.

Zhang Shi received the summons from Zhu Bingkun and others. After thinking for a moment, he led a team of people and arrived outside Kaifeng City, avoiding many bandit soldiers. He even saw Chen Yongfu attacking Liu Fangliang's camp at night. Then he wore Chen Yongfu's tail and walked into the city.

As a general of the Ye Bu Shu Department, Zhang Shi has made many military exploits and received feedback from his military exploits. Now his physical fitness is not much worse than that of Zhu Bingkun and Zheng Wu. The two Ye Bu Shu he brought into the city were also the best among Ye Bu Shu. It is not difficult to get into the city.

The three of them looked at Chen Yongfu and saw that Chen Yongfu had entered the palace, so they showed up to ask for an audience.

As soon as Zhang and Shi entered the room, they first saw the old King Zhou, then they looked at everyone present, and finally they deliberately took a few more glances at the Taoist.

Then he beat his chest and clasped his fists: "General Zhang Shi, pay your respects to the king!"

When he came in, the person who led the way told him who was in the room, so he would not be wrong.

Although he said he was bowing, his posture was strong, which was different from being submissive. Instead, he was in a circle of his own.

King Zhou had a strange look in his eyes. He was over sixty years old and had experienced and seen a lot, but he had never seen such a sergeant.

He couldn't help but ask: "Your name is Zhang Shi? Where are you the general?"

Zhang Shizheng said: "The last general is the leader of thousands of households in Ye County. Mr. Ying's subordinates will not accept officials from hundreds of households at night."

Although it is a fact that Ying Yi became independent, it is a fact. The shell of the Ming Dynasty's famous weapon must be approved within a certain period of time. His own official position was only a temporary one for a thousand households - he was appointed by Zheng Yunzhi on an expedient basis - in fact Zheng Yunzhi did not have this right.

"Qianhu in Ye County?"

When everyone in the hall heard this, they all showed doubts.

Where did the Qianhu officials come from in Ye County?

Zhang Shi said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty. Mr. Ying was originally an official of the Hundred Households under Lord Zheng of Ye County. Because of his repeated military exploits, he temporarily took over the position of the Thousand Households of Luyang Pass."

As soon as these words came out, Governor Gao Mingheng showed a look of confusion on his face: "Where did Zheng Yunzhi get the ability to appoint officials of thousands of households?"

But King Zhou waved his hand: "The situation is difficult, but it may be expedient. Master Gao, don't be impatient. We will talk after I ask."

Then he said to Zhang Shi: "Then why did you take the risk to come here today?"

Zhang Shi said: "The imperial court secretly transported two million taels of military pay to Ye County earlier to use it to suppress bandits. However, the news was leaked, and the intruder Hao Yaoqi led his troops south, captured Ye County, and took away the military pay. The county. Mr. Zun withdrew into Fangcheng Mountain to deal with them. He also asked for the help of Governor Ding and General Zuo, and led his troops north to Yuzhou to confront the thieves. The thieves added Liu Zongmin's army of tens of thousands, until the stalemate was reached. Later, Li Guo added tens of thousands more. When the thieves went south to Ye County, Lord Ying led his troops to defeat Li Guo and captured Li Guo. Later, the Zuo soldiers fought with Liu Zongmin and Hao Yaoqi and were defeated. The Zuo soldiers died and the Huguang soldiers were defeated. Lord Ying led the generals and others to defeat them. Hao Yaoqi and Liu Zongmin killed them and captured tens of thousands."
