I'm a bully in troubled times

"Our Yan Kingdom and Qi Kingdom are both located on the coast of the Bohai Sea. The terrain is flat and the plains are vast, unlike the Central Plains where there are mountains and hills that can be used as cover. Besides, we have to cross the river."

"On weekdays, we would not dare to take the initiative to attack, so we can only take advantage of the right time now."

Ning Jian looked at the map and said: "Crossing the Yellow River is Cangcheng. The current general of Cangcheng was transferred five years ago. The former general went back to Linzi. This man's surname is Fang and his name is Shan, but he is not a good man." He is ruthless, he is more ruthless to himself than others, Sui Yang-jun must be careful of him."

Jiang Yu looked at the terrain of Ma Pingchuan. In the war on the plain, many tactics were ineffective and useless. It is not advisable to attack by force, and it is still necessary to outsmart it.

"How many garrison troops are there in Cangcheng?" Jiang Yu asked.

Ning Jian said, "Three thousand."

Gao Yang also had 3000 people, but Jiang Yu also brought [-] people, adding up to [-].

Jiang Yu looked at the sky and saw that the weather would be fine tomorrow, so he said, "Send down the order, the whole army will rest for a day, and we will attack Cangcheng tomorrow."

"Tomorrow, tomorrow...?" Ning Jian was stunned for a moment, "General, is this too urgent?"

Jiang Yu said: "We are going to make a surprise attack. Do we have to wait a few more days for Qi to react before attacking?"

"Besides, the soldiers under my command, although they have traveled long distances, all of them are full of fighting spirit and awe-inspiring fighting spirit. They all want to go to the battlefield as soon as possible. The shame of 16 years ago, if they take a long time to recuperate, will wear down their fighting spirit. "

Ning Jian thought about it, and bowed and said: "The last general will take the order." He turned his head and gave an order to the lieutenant beside him, and the lieutenant went out to deliver the order.

Jiang Yu was the commander-in-chief of the central army in the attack on Qi. Even though Ning Jian was a border guard general, he had to obey Jiang Yu's arrangements.

"Gongsun Ke, are you all ready?"

Gongsun Ke: "Ready, General."

Ning Jian asked inexplicably, "What are you preparing for?"

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Go to the city."

Ning Jian suddenly understood: "You want to enter Cangcheng first?"

"No!" Ning Jian vetoed, "You are the coach, how can you risk yourself and go deep into the enemy's camp alone?"

Jiang Yu said: "I have studied the terrain of this place before I came here. It is not easy to break through the city gate. If I can sneak into the enemy camp, I can cooperate with the army inside and outside, and it will be much easier to break through the city."

Ning Jian still objected: "The commander goes deep into the enemy camp, who will guard here?"

Jiang Yu: "Isn't there still you?"

Ning Jian: "But if you are discovered..."

Jiang Yu: "Don't worry, since I went in, I'm not unprepared, it's not so easy to be discovered."

Ning Jian: "General!..."

Jiang Yu raised his hand and said, "You don't need to say any more. I'm not a kid who just entered the battlefield. I have a sense of proportion. You don't need to worry."

"Furthermore, I am the coach in this battle. Even if something happens, I will be responsible."

Seeing that Jiang Yu had made up his mind, Ning Jian knew that it would be useless to persuade him. In addition, Jiang Yu's military exploits with the Marquis of Yan in the crusade against Zhongshan Kingdom three years ago made Ning Jian know Jiang Yu's ability well.He could only take a step back and asked, "How does the general plan to enter the city?"

Jiang Yu said with his hands behind his back: "Qihou is newly mourning. As a friendly country, it is reasonable to go to condolences. I plan to use Qihou's condolences as an excuse to enter Cangcheng, and then take the opportunity to sneak into the city lord's mansion at night and set fire to it. When there is chaos in the city, Then I will lead my troops to join forces with you both inside and outside, and break open the city gate."

Sounds good, if successful, the city can be taken down without any effort.But the danger is also in front of us. It is not difficult to enter the city under the excuse of condolences, but it is difficult to set fire at night, and it is also difficult to get out of the city after setting fire.

After retreating from the whole body, they still have to fight at the gate of the city. There are only a few people, and they are alone, and the garrison of the city is [-], surrounded by hundreds of people at random, it is very difficult to survive.

Ning Jian frowned tightly: "General, isn't it too risky for you to do this?"

Jiang Yu: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get a tiger's cub. Don't worry, General Ning, I won't die so easily. You just need to set up your formation and get ready to enter the city."

"This is a plain with a wide field of vision. It's impossible to attack by surprise during the day. We can only attack at night. It's midsummer, the Yellow River is swollen, the water is deep, and the river is wide. I'm afraid it won't work, but if you want to go there by boat, I'm also afraid of alarming the defenders of the Qi State. How does General Ning think it's better to go there?"

Ning Jian said: "Don't worry, the general, our soldiers in Gaoyang are good at water, not to mention the river, no matter how deep or urgent it is, they can cross it. It's just that the brothers who came from the capital may not be so familiar with it."

"After the Gaoyang army has passed first, the brothers from the capital will go there by boat. At that time, we will not be afraid that Qi will find out."

Jiang Yu: "That's good. Tomorrow night, you will take people across the river. When there is movement inside, use a catapult to knock down the soldiers on the tower, and at the same time hit the gate with a ram, so as to replace the soldiers in our city." Take some burden off."

After Jiang Yu ordered a few words, Ning Jian saw that his face was tired, so he ordered a room to be tidied up, and Jiang Yu was also asked to rest.There is a tough battle to be fought tomorrow, so it is impossible not to preserve your physical strength.

"Gongsunke, you don't have to guard anymore, go to rest too, I will use you tomorrow night."

"Yes."

After returning to Jicheng, Jiang Yu stayed for a while, and the order to send troops to Qi came down, but the order was secret, and he did not publicize it, nor did he openly declare war on Qi.

While Jiang Yu was counting the soldiers and sorting out supplies, news came from the Qi State that the second son Jiang Ping had ascended the throne, and according to rumors, this new monarch was very ruthless and thoughtful.

In the early years, he devoted himself to win over the courtiers. After the death of Marquis Qi, everyone discovered that many people in the court secretly obeyed him.With the support of these courtiers, Jiang Ping ascended the throne smoothly, and on the grounds that Concubine Wenji was wronged by the country, she was put under house arrest in the harem, and she was not allowed to go out without purpose.

Of course, the fourth son under Wen Ji's knees would not do it, but this fourth son, Jiang Ziyu, was not very talented. He cried, made trouble and hanged himself, and was finally put under house arrest by his second brother.

On the contrary, the third son Jiang Gu judged the situation and followed the courtiers to support his elder brother.

Although he said he wanted to rest, Jiang Yu didn't sleep after eating.He had already obtained the map of Cangcheng, where the city lord's mansion was, where the grain and grass were, all clearly marked on the map, and he was looking at the map and thinking.

According to his speculation, they will be able to capture Cangcheng the morning after tomorrow, and reinforcements from Qi will surely arrive soon.Winning Cangcheng was nothing, and reinforcements were Jiang Yu's top priority.

It will take at least five days for the news to reach Linzi from Cangcheng to Linzi, and it will take at least five days to send it to the palace with high-end BMWs around the clock. Before the troops come, capture a few more cities.

State of Qi... Before Qu Wo left, Qi Ranming said that he would come to State of Qi, is he still in State of Qi?What did he come to Qi for?Will he stand on the Qi people's side to deal with him?
