Please, let me be a fool

After all, besides Liao Town, Gao Yang Kingdom could attack from other places.

At that time, if you want to rush to rescue, there will definitely be too little time. It is the safest way to station some troops in every city.

And food and grass are also a big problem. A [-]-strong army will consume a huge amount of food every day. If it is still, it can save a little bit every day.

"Yes, General." At this time, another lieutenant came out and said.

"Besides, such a big movement will definitely attract Gao Yangguo's attention, and their vigilance will be even heavier."

"If they are pushed into a hurry and make them mistakenly think that a decisive battle is about to take place, they may jump over the wall in a hurry. Although we have [-] troops in our hands, the troops that Gao Yangguo can gather will definitely be more..."

In the minds of several generals, this is a big battle between the two countries, and every step must be cautious.

Especially when my side is temporarily at a disadvantage, I need to be more conservative.

As a last resort, try not to commit all your troops.

After all, the overall national strength of Great Wei is much stronger than that of Gaoyang.

The best way to win this battle.

It is consumption, and it depends on who can consume it better. In this way, not only is it safe, but the casualties are also small.

But now, the opponent actually wants to mobilize all the troops as soon as they come up, and put on a posture for a decisive battle. This is a big taboo for military strategists.

"You guys, the idea of ​​fighting is too conservative." However, when Song Hongzhi heard these words, he couldn't help shaking his head and said: "But I don't blame you, after all, Marquis Shenwu has too much prestige in the army, and you are more or less affected by it." affected."

"As you said, the current food and grass can't last for too long. We should fight quickly. As for being discovered by Gao Yang Kingdom? So what? I'm afraid that they won't find out."

"Okay, I can't explain it to you. This general is the commander of Liao Town. Under the orders of His Majesty, he controls all the soldiers and horses in Liao Town."

"Since you are the lieutenant general, it's fine to carry out the general's order."

In fact, why didn't Song Hongzhi want to explain clearly to these people?

But the question is, will you listen when you explain it?

I am in the eyes of these people.

He's just a brat, no matter how good his words are, what's the use?

It's better to give the order directly in your own capacity, and when the battle is won, the subordinates will naturally understand.

"This..." The deputy generals looked at each other, they didn't understand this order very well, and they were very reluctant, but as a soldier, obedience is a bounden duty.

So the few people finally had no choice but to nod their heads, bowed and said, "Yes!"

"correct."

At this moment, Song Hongzhi seemed to have thought of something again, and immediately said: "After all the troops are mobilized, they will have to train every day. The morale is not good now, and they will definitely suffer in a fight."

These words made the lieutenants feel that there was some truth, but training with such a big fanfare, wouldn't it make Gao Yangguo more vigilant?

A small country with few people, even if only [-] troops are stationed at the border, will be frightened, and the defense will be strengthened.

At that time, even if the training is good and the morale is soaring, can you take advantage of the enemy who is already prepared?

But everyone still didn't say much, just know that it's good to obey the order.

After all, you still have yourself, right?

"and also."

Song Hongzhi continued: "From the 5 people, 800 people will be selected. This general must personally train. This is the most important thing. When selecting people, we must be strict, because 800 people determine our strength in this battle. Whether the party can win."

The lieutenants present seemed to be even more incomprehensible.

With only 800 people, what can we do?Also decide whether this battle can be won?

Is this a little too big?

Gaoyang has an army of 30 to [-], even if Liaozhen has an army of [-], it will be extremely difficult to win, right?

Unless the other garrisons in Liaodong are also transferred.

Several lieutenants shook their heads.

He didn't know what the little uncle in front of him was going to do. He felt that the other party didn't understand military theory at all. How could he win the battle if he went on like this.

Once the imperial court loses the battle against Gaoyang Kingdom, then the majesty of Wei will be demolished.

At this moment, they made a decision in unison.

A letter must be sent to the capital to let His Majesty and the Ministry of War know what is happening in Liao Town.

There are ways to control the situation.

Therefore, the lieutenants didn't say anything, they just said: "Yes! General!"

Immediately, they didn't stay any longer, and gave orders to each other.

As for Song Hongzhi, he turned around at this time.

Turning his eyes to the map of Gaoyang Kingdom, his eyes gradually became brighter.

When one's own side does not have an advantage, extraordinary methods must be used, and a quick decision must be made.

Gao Yangguo dared to take advantage of the court at such a time, he would definitely have to pay the price.

In addition, this battle is related to the majesty of Wei.

It is necessary to achieve a result that shocks all countries!

that's it!

the next few days.

Because of Song Hongzhi's order, all the cities under Liao Town were in motion.

Except for those who must stay behind, almost all the troops are marching towards Lujiang outside Liao Town.

And such a big movement, just as the lieutenants had guessed, was quickly learned by Gao Yangguo.

Great Wei is the lord of the Central Plains, with a strong national power.

Gaoyang is nothing more than a vassal state.

Even knowing that the Northern Territory of the Great Wei Dynasty is now launching a war with the grassland army, even knowing that the army that Liao Town can gather is no more than [-] to [-] at most, but still dare not take it lightly.

So he reacted quickly and immediately sent a military report to the capital of Gaoyang.

The Li clan of the royal family of Gaoyang also began to treat Liaozhen seriously because of the movement of the army in Liaozhen.

An army of [-] may not seem like much, but that is Wei.

So began to mobilize troops from all over the country to help the border.

Actually, the royal family of Gaoyang didn't want to start this war, but all the envoys they sent came back.

In the end, I also learned that this battle was going to be carried out by His Majesty the Great Wei Emperor, so I knew that there was no room for relief.

For the current plan, they can only choose to fight.

King Gaoyang, in particular, knew that this battle was of great significance and related to the entire country, so he finally decided to let the prince directly take command of the battle. In addition to boosting morale, it was also for the prince to practice.

Because they had a bold idea in their hearts, if Gaoyang Kingdom won this battle, the meaning would be completely different.

At that time, not only will it be able to get rid of its status as a vassal state, but it will also be famous in the Eastern Continent.

Maybe they can take this opportunity to seize some areas in the Great Wei and Liaodong.

Of course, Gao Yangguo's thoughts were nothing more than that.

After all, Wei's strength is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The biggest reason why they dared to launch an attack, apart from Da Wei being restrained by the grassland now, was also because they wanted to take a gamble.

In this way, in Lujiang outside Liao Town, the two armies continued to gather.

only.

Gao Yangguo didn't dare to act first.

As for the army of Liaozhen, they have been training and preparing for the battle, and it seems that the whole situation is very delicate.

Not only that, Song Hongzhi also ordered the officials of Liao Town to find ways to build more bows and crossbows, and to mobilize food and grass from various places, as if a decisive battle was about to take place in the next moment.

Time, also in the stalemate between the two sides, kept passing.

And far away in Haizhou in the coastal area of ​​Great Wei.

Finally ushered in the first commander-in-chief after many years, Zhao Jiguang.

The first thing he did when he came to Haizhou was not to go to the post, but to see what the sea that he had been longing for since he was a child looked like.

As a person who grew up in the capital, and then stayed in the grassland for many years.

When Zhao Jiguang stood on a rock.

Feeling the gusts of sea breeze, the whole person felt unprecedentedly relaxed.

Strange to say, standing here, looking at the rolling waves in the distance, he didn't feel any strangeness, on the contrary, he was very familiar.

It's like coming home.

Just like, I should stand here, on a warship, and ride the wind and waves.

Especially when he had the opportunity to see that all the warship models he built before were all built into real warships floating on the sea.

"General!" At this time, the personal guard who came with him also came over.

Although the vast sea in front of you looks somewhat similar to the endless grassland.But compared to Zhao Jiguang's relaxed and comfortable, he has a strong sense of incompatibility,

However, the personal guard came forward not for this reason, but respectfully said: "General, someone wants to see you, and he is said to be from Dongchang."

"East Factory?" Hearing this, Zhao Jiguang frowned slightly, for he had heard of this institution before.

But since he has been staying at Zhenbeiguan, he doesn't know much about it.

Just heard some generals mention it.

This is an institution established by His Majesty the Emperor himself. It is controlled by the Chief Eunuch, the Supervisor of Rituals, and is independent from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment. It has great power.

And what Dongchang is best at seems to be collecting information on various officials of the imperial court. Li Fang, the previous cabinet assistant, was brought down by Dongchang, so as long as you meet someone from Dongchang, you must be careful. not in contact.

But who is Zhao Jiguang, the son of Marquis Shenwu, who has been fighting bloody battles all year round.

How can you be afraid of a newly established Dongchang?

And he thinks so.

In himself, there is no handle on Dongchang at all.

I have to say that it was the failure to attack the grassland army last time, but His Majesty has already dealt with it.

So, after thinking for a while, he immediately said, "Let him come over."

"Yes!" The guard nodded and turned to leave immediately.

Soon, he came over with a man in eunuch costume, who was one of the top ten stalls in Dongchang.

Because he had dealt with the reform of the Longyang Mansion before, he did not leave, but was ordered to expand Dongchang's eyeliner in Jiangnan.Some time ago, he also got an order to contact Zhao Jiguang.

After learning that the other party came to Haizhou, he came over without stopping.

On weekdays, he disguised himself as a commoner, no different from ordinary people.

It's just because I have to meet someone today, so I changed into eunuch clothes, otherwise it would be impossible to meet the new commander-in-chief of Haizhou.

"Xiao Linzi at the front of the East Factory, I have seen General Zhao." The little eunuch approached and cupped his hands immediately.

"Is there anything you can do with me?" Zhao Jiguang glanced at the other party.

As a battle-hardened general.

He could tell at almost the first glance that this person was an eunuch in the palace, so he had no doubts about this person's identity.

"Back to General Zhao, our East Factory has recently received news that a group of pirates has sneaked into Haizhou, because these pirates are related to a case in the East Factory, so Wang Gonggong wants to borrow people from General Zhao to help us monitor A pirate." Xiao Linzi said.

The pirates he was talking about were the ones that Wang Jin suspected to be the remnants of the former royal family.

However, due to an explanation, the identities of these people cannot be disclosed for the time being.

So I only use the excuse that it has something to do with the Dongchang case.

"Oh? It's related to Dongchang?"

Hearing this, Zhao Jiguang smiled softly.
