: Eat people with a soft mouth and short-handed people

Piantou Pass, inside the town.

The military meeting was still going on after nightfall. That night, the city was heavily guarded. Sentries inside and outside the city were patrolling the streets and fortresses at night, giving the city a tense feeling of an imminent war.

But the main generals in the city knew that this battle seemed impossible to fight, because the two sides were just testing sexual harassment and showed no signs of getting ready for a decisive battle.

"...Huo Si sent three groups of troops one after another to harass more than a dozen earthen forts around Piantou Pass. Although no one had been reported as being kidnapped, more than a dozen animals had been lost. There was also news from two scouts after they left the city.

Nothing, if you continue to sit idly by, it will be the same as what my father encountered in Yulin Guard, and Di Yi will get worse..."

Zhu Feng presided over the military meeting. Next to him, Wang Qiong, the governor of the border gate, was also listening. In addition, there were Liu Jin, the eunuch who supervises the army, and two deputy generals, Xiangcheng Bo Li Ao and Wu Ping Bo Chen Xun.

Li Ao and Chen Xun have been following Wang Yue to guard Piantou Pass. They are very familiar with the local situation. If someone else is appointed as the chief military officer, they will definitely not accept it... Why should the general's death not be left to his own devices?

Are our two knowledgeable lieutenants in charge?

But now Zhu Feng is here...

The ministers looked down upon Zhu Feng, but Zhu Feng still had a high reputation in Piantou Pass. Even Li Wei and Chen Xun had no objection to Zhu Feng.

Who told him that this was the young general that Wang Yue admired very much before his death?

More importantly... Zhu Feng has a background in the imperial court, and it is people with such background who worry the most in the northwest military circles.

Therefore, when Zhu Feng arrived at the Piantou Pass, he did not encounter the same resistance as he encountered at Ningyuan. Almost everyone in the army was willing to listen to his orders, which indirectly allowed Wang Qiong to enjoy a little convenience.

Originally, Wang Qiong thought that when she came to Pianguan, she would be looked down upon and even had to wipe Zhu Feng's butt, but now she found out that she had received benefits from Zhu Feng.

After listening to Zhu Feng's opening remarks, Chen Xun said: "Marquis Anbian, it's not that the people below are pouring cold water. The Tatars are now a hundred miles north of Guansai, and their attacks are based on camps hundreds of miles away. If we push

If we go out with our chariots, before the artillery can reach their camp, they will send out cavalry to harass us, putting us in a dilemma."

"I'm afraid that the Tatars will come around... Our pass is different from other places. Guarding this ruined wall is more important than anything else. What do you think?"

Chen Xun almost said, we don't care what kind of embarrassment your father encountered in Yansui.

Our opinion is that if you are beaten to death, you will not leave the city, and if you have no fault, it is merit.

Zhu Feng hesitated and didn't know what to say.

Wang Qiong said: "Now that the barbarians are invading the country, are we going to sit idly by and ignore it? If a person is kidnapped, and the court investigates it, will you all have to bear the crime and wait for meritorious service? Now Anbian

Hou is just arranging a surprise attack and harassment... You also know that this pass cannot be defended, why not turn from defense to offense?"

The generals below were cautious, but Wang Qiong was not so timid. As a famous military commander in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, he would not dare to send troops within a hundred miles of Piantou Pass when the enemies were afraid.

Afraid of wolves, afraid of tigers...

Will I, the king, want to return to the court and be embarrassed in the future?

"This..." Seeing that he could not persuade the two airborne bosses, Chen Xun turned to look at Li Hao standing aside.

Li Wei asked: "Wang Zhongcheng, I dare to ask you, is this calculated by Zhang Xianshi in the court? Is it possible to achieve a great victory by sending troops in this way?"

"Yes, yes." Chen Xun seemed to have found the key to the problem.

Not to mention the two of them, even the other generals present looked at Wang Qiong with eager eyes.

Everyone's eyes were filled with urgency. It seemed to them that only Zhang Zhou's prophecy was the absolute "authority". After all, Zhang Zhou predicted the direction of the grassland tribe's attack twice and achieved two victories.

It was a hearty victory, and now everyone in the army was waiting to make meritorious deeds with Zhang Zhou.

It was at this moment that Wang Qiong truly understood.

No wonder this group of people were very flattering and flattering to us from the beginning. The relationship was not because of Zhu Zhijie's reputation, but because we were with Zhang Bingkuan. They complimented Zhang Bingkuan to the extreme and were polite to us.

"Brother Zhang..."

Zhu Feng is an honest and good boy. When faced with the problems faced by Li Er and other generals, he does not want to hide anything.

But Wang Qiong interrupted Zhu Feng's words and said: "This is indeed said by Zhang Shijie, and it was also arranged by Zhang Dudu, the governor of the Houjun Governor's Mansion. Do you have any doubts?"

"Ah?" Zhu Feng was surprised at first.

However, he was smart enough to understand that Wang Qiong said this deliberately to cheer people up.

So Zhu Feng will not expose Wang Qiong.

"That's good, that's good. Did you all hear it? We will have another chance to make great achievements!" Li Nuo looked excited.

The generals surrounding the sand table were also talking a lot, with happy faces on their faces.

It seemed that with Zhang Zhou's guidance, their military exploits were at their fingertips.

Chen Xun said with some doubts: "Even if we send troops, should we wait until Mr. Qin reaches Pianguan? I heard that he is already on his way here."

Wang Qiong said: "The opportunity must not be missed before it comes again. We must send cavalry to attack the Hulu before they have a stable foothold, and then prepare with artillery array. Only by driving the Hulu out of Pianguan for 200 miles can we ensure the stability of Pianguan. Don't

Wait for the Hulu to arrive before we can defend... We must take the initiative to attack. This is His Majesty's instruction."

Li Hao happily clasped his fists and said: "General, I will obey the order!"

Chen Xun was startled. Normally Li Hao could evade it better than him, but this time it looked like Li Hao had been given a shot of blood. He seemed to understand that everyone in the army was waiting to take credit, so he could only accept the order quickly.

So as not to fall behind others.

…

…

The military meeting then decided on the strategy of sending cavalry that night to surprise the Huo Si tribe camp a hundred miles away.

After the meeting, Zhu Feng was a little upset because Zhang Zhou didn't give him too much advice this time, which made him feel unsure.

"Knowing the truth."

Wang Qiong came back with instructions from Li Wei, who was in charge of leading the troops, and saw Zhu Feng sitting there, looking like a depressed big boy. Wang Qiong was actually speechless.

You have already become the commander-in-chief, why are you still like an eggplant beaten by frost?

"Wang Langzhong." Zhu Feng raised his head and looked up, but still couldn't cheer up.

Wang Qiong said: "Zhijie, as the commander-in-chief, you should have some momentum. Do you see how highly you are respected by everyone in the army after you arrive at Pianguan? Everyone regards you as Wang Weining's second best, and they are waiting to go on the expedition with you.

On the battlefield, why are you still so depressed?"

Zhu Feng sighed pitifully: "Maybe... I'm not the material."

"Alas!" Wang Qiong was helpless.

Zhu Feng really dares to think and say that now that the army is about to go into battle, you actually say that you are not the material to be a general officer?

But for some reason, Wang Qiong couldn't feel the unyielding hatred towards Zhu Feng.

Wang Qiong thought for a while, probably because although this kid talks like a melon, he is not vague when it comes to fighting. In addition, his attitude is sincere, what he pursues is an ordinary and simple life, and he has the purest goodness in his heart.

One can't help but feel hatred toward him.

To put it bluntly, this guy is too honest.

Be honest to the point of being endearing, rather than making people hate you.

"Mr. Wang, each of the cavalrymen this time only brought bows and arrows and firecrackers. The firecrackers can only fire one shot, and there are only three thousand cavalrymen. In case the main force of the Chinese army is over there, will there be three thousand cavalrymen?"

Maybe there is no return?" Zhu Feng said, "If I, the chief military officer, do not lead the troops, and the front line is damaged, I am afraid that the court will pursue it."

Wang Qiong said: "Don't worry, your task is to guard the Pianguan Fortress. As I expected, the Tatars are just putting pressure on us. Next, they will prepare more for internal disputes in the grassland. At this time, we are strong

, they must be weak...How do they know how powerful the firearms we brought over are?"

Zhu Feng was startled and asked: "That means... you are going to scare them this time?"

Wang Qiong sighed: "How about we let them harass around the pass every day and increase their ambition to destroy our prestige? We do this, even if there is a slight loss, but in order to knock down the mountain and stern the tiger, the bows and arrows brought by the soldiers and

After firing a fire cannon, it is not necessary to directly knock down the bird, but as long as the cannon is fired, the bird will wake up and fly away, and the intention will be achieved."

Zhu Feng was stunned for a while after hearing this: "It's still Wang Langzhong's foresight, I... can't do it."

"Zhijie, you can do it."

Wang Qiong said, "Not to mention Marquis Weining, even I admire you. You are a young man who dares to do things. This kind of temperament is rare in the army. Even if you want to stay in the capital and be a leisurely man in the future, I'm afraid

It’s not that easy. A capable person can do it anywhere. Even if you are sent to the capital camp, you will still be able to shine. Okay, get ready and wait for the surprise attack from tonight to tomorrow!"

…

…

Wang Qiong was very eager to fight, except that he sized up the situation and thought there was a chance.

Also because he knows that Qin Hong will arrive at Pianguan in a few days, and any strategies then come from Qin Hong. Wang Qiong’s chance of making contributions in the northwest is not that great. After all, after Qin Hong arrives at Pianguan,

, as a governor, he was mainly responsible for preparing food and supplies, so he became the one in charge of logistics.

It was a rare good opportunity, and Zhu Feng still listened to him, and Zhang Zhou's prophecy was used as a cover. He would not miss such a good opportunity.

Of course, he also knew what kind of backlash he would encounter if he lost this battle, or if the strategic intention was not achieved, and the Fire Screen troops were forced to suppress the situation... The emperor would not let him go.

It's okay, you actually dare to use Bingkuan's prophecy that I like to deceive people's hearts? Bingkuan didn't say this, and the army officers didn't know, don't I have a good background?
To be continued...
