Seeing that Zhu Yuluo was a beautiful girl as rumored, the four of them did not dare to look more and averted their eyes.

At the same time, the four of them also remembered all the incredible things about Zhu Yuluo.

God's blessing bestows you with great supernatural powers.

Can travel to and from the hereafter.

It is said that the late emperor found a consort for her in later generations.

This future life is said to be three or four hundred years later, but the miraculous creations will be the same as those in the fairy world.

So it’s hard to say whether this princess went to the afterlife or the fairy world...

"Liu Shenzheng came here from the east of Sichuan this time. It has been a hard journey." Zhu Ayao first expressed condolences to Liu Lin.

Not only because Liu Linchang was a senior official of the Chief Secretary of Sichuan, but also because Liu Linchang was the oldest.

The other three people would not have the slightest objection to this, because Liu Linchang was the only civil servant among the four, and the three of them had no intention of comparing.

Liu Linchang was still a little touched by Zhu Yushuo's question, and immediately replied: "Thank you for your condolences, Your Highness. I basically traveled by boat along the way, and it can't be said to be hard work."

Zhu Yasuo nodded slightly and said: "I am in charge of overseeing the government, but there is still a lack of talents. I know that Liu Shenzheng once served in the Ministry of Industry and made many achievements. I wonder if I can be appointed as the associate director of the government and be in charge of the industrial department?"

The imperial court in Beijing is gone, and now the news of the new imperial court in Nanjing has not reached Sichuan and Shu.

Zhu Yurao was also the supervisor appointed by Chongzhen himself, and with the blessing of God, she controlled Chengdu.

Now that Liu Linchang is here, he naturally doesn't think about how high he will be promoted. He has already prepared his attitude. After hearing this, he bowed and saluted and said: "I am valued by the supervisory country, I dare not refuse to accept the order."

Liu Linchang was born in 1598 AD. He was a Jinshi of Lianjie in the 47th year of Wanli. He is forty-seven years old this year. He is not very old. He can still work for Zhu Aao for a long time.

After arranging Liu Linchang, Zhu Aona looked at Zeng Ying and the other three.

Then ask questions one by one.

They didn’t talk too much, and after asking her questions, she brought up the topic of today’s discussion.

"I received a report from the detective today that Zhang's bandits have captured Ziyang, and tens of thousands of forwards led by Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son Zhang Nengqi have arrived in Jianyang. What do you generals think of this?"

After all, Zeng Ying was young and confident, and was the first to step out after hearing this.

"Excuse me, Supervisor, how many troops and horses are available in Chengdu now?"

Although Zhu Yasuo knew it, she did not answer it herself. Instead, she said: "Director Li, you answer it."

"Yes." Li Yan stepped out and said: "Chengdu originally had more than 18,000 elite soldiers and horses under the command of the three generals - Red, Ma, and Liu.

There are also 3,000 people who have been reorganized and trained by soldiers from the four guard stations in Chengdu. They are now also capable of fighting.

In addition, there are more than 2,000 officers and soldiers in various yamen and inspection departments. After nearly a month of training, their combat capabilities have also been improved.

Then there are the 30,000 young men Long Futai recruited from the city. They have been training for more than half a month. Although they cannot leave the city to fight, there should be no problem in helping to defend the city.

Then there are the more than 10,000 local reinforcements who have been identified and initially trained from various places. Their combat strength is uneven, and they may only be able to help defend the city.

Finally, the three generals Zeng, Yang, and Cao brought nearly 10,000 elite troops today.

Taken together, there are nearly 30,000 elite soldiers and more than 48,000 other troops."

After hearing this, Zeng Ying frowned with his thick sword eyebrows and asked: "There are 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers guarding the city and nearly 30,000 elites. Why not send the elites to take the initiative to attack?

I heard that Zhang thief claimed to have an army of one million, and he attacked in three groups, with a forward group.

Their forces are so dispersed, which is a good opportunity for us to defeat them one by one and weaken their forces.

Otherwise, when they join forces under the city of Chengdu, even if there are not millions of people, there will still be hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and it will be difficult for us to defend Chengdu."

In fact, Zeng Ying and others discussed how to defend Chengdu on the way, and felt that the only chance was to defeat Zhang Xianzhong one by one before he joined forces.

Otherwise, Zhang Xianzhong would attack the city with hundreds of thousands of troops, and even if Chengdu could defend it, it would be protracted.

In this way, when the autumn harvest comes in September, the Ming Dynasty will no longer want the food in Chengdu Prefecture, and all of it will have to be collected by Zhang Xianzhong's people.

What's more, the situation in the east and south is unknown now. There should be no reinforcements in Chengdu. If we defend it for such a long time, we will lose it.

Therefore, when Zeng Ying finished speaking, Yang Zhan immediately stepped out of the queue, clasped his fists and shouted: "The last general is willing to lead his troops to attack the vanguard of Zhang Thief!"

Cao Xun also followed and said: "The last general is also willing to meet the vanguard of Zhang Thief!"

Seeing this, Zhu Aao, Li Yan, and the red lady looked at each other and couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Whether it was Zeng Ying's analysis of the war situation or Yang Zhan and Cao Xun's invitations to fight, Zhu Aelao was quite satisfied.

When Ma Ke and Liu Zhenfan looked at Zeng Ying and the others, they looked strange, as if they were holding back something they wanted to say but couldn't.

Zeng Ying didn't notice the strange expressions on Ma and Liu, but saw Zhu Nasuo smiling and nodding, saying: "General Zeng's analysis is very good. Normally, we should take advantage of Zhang Xianzhong's attack by dividing his troops to weaken his strength.

However, what if I intend to eliminate Zhang Xianzhong’s hundreds of thousands of troops in one battle? Wouldn’t it be a good opportunity to put them outside Chengdu?”

Zeng Ying frowned even more after hearing this, and asked: "May I ask how the prison country can defeat Zhang's hundreds of thousands of soldiers in one battle?"

Just after he finished speaking, Zeng Ying suddenly thought of something.

Zhu Ailao is not an ordinary person.

She is a "fairy" who has the will of heaven, has great supernatural powers, and can travel to the next life (fairy world?).

Maybe there really is a way to deal with an army of hundreds of thousands at once.

Or a spell?

Although he had seen the magic of the portable lamp, and listened to Li Zhenwu and Gao Shengqi on the way, he had seen other "magic weapons" of Zhu Yu'a, but Zeng Ying still felt that this was not very reliable.

Zhu Aona smiled and looked at the Red Lady and said: "General Red Soldier, please tell General Zeng and others about our 'drone beheading plan'."

"yes."

The red lady responded and immediately explained the "drone beheading plan" formulated by Hao Guangming in detail.

Zeng Ying and other people who learned about this plan for the first time couldn't help but be stunned, with incredible expressions on their faces.

After a long time, several people came to their senses one after another, but they still couldn't imagine what it would be like to use some "unmanned chicken" to directly "kill" Zhang Xianzhong in the military camp.

Zhu Yucao said: "It doesn't matter if the three generals can't understand it for the moment. It will become clearer later when we visit the training of the Flying Eagles."

What can Zeng Ying and the other three say?

They looked at each other and could only reply in a muffled voice: "Yes."

At this time, neither Zeng Ying nor Yang Zhan had the confidence to do anything else.

Seeing this, Zhu Aao felt a little funny.

However, she had read the historical records of the two men and knew that in later history of the two men, one was defeated and died because of underestimating the enemy, and the other was so arrogant that his subordinates rebelled, and then went to the Hongmen Banquet and died in internal fighting.

Now, it would be a good thing for her to use the creation of later generations, Hao Guangming's "drone beheading plan", to dampen their confidence.

Of course, we can't hit them too hard and keep the two of them positive.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuyao said: "Although the strategy of defeating Zhang Xianzhong's troops is not easy to implement, it is indeed possible to defeat the forward led by Zhang Nengqi.

Since the three of you have asked for a battle, let's prepare for a day or two. After understanding the specific military situation, we can lead the army to fight against Zhang Nengqi."

Hearing this, Zeng Ying and the three of them all looked excited.

When they heard about the "drone beheading plan", they thought they had no chance to perform, but they didn't expect the opportunity to come.

The three people immediately clasped their fists together and responded in unison: "I will obey your orders!"

···

Two days later.

Ai Nengqi led more than 30,000 forward troops to approach Longquan Town.

He came around.

Jianzhou City and Yang'an Pass echo each other, and the city is small but strong.

Although his forward army has more than 30,000 troops, there are only more than 5,000 elites among them who can really fight.

If we forcefully attack Jianzhou City and Yang'an Pass, even if we can defeat them, the elite troops will suffer a lot of damage.

Ainengqi felt it was not a good deal.

It's better to leave it to the middle army behind.

He believed that when the hundreds of thousands of troops on the middle road arrived, the officers and soldiers in Jianzhou City would have no choice but to open the city and surrender as long as they did not want to die.

"General, the front is Longquan Town. The sun is already in the west now. We will take Longquan Town to rest for the night later. We will pass Longquan Mountain via Longquanyi tomorrow, and the general will be able to attack Chengdu."

Beside Ai Nengqi, a middle-aged scholar-looking man riding a horse said with a smile.

This man has a Sichuan accent and is obviously from Sichuan.

There is no shortage of leading parties and speculators anywhere, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty had lost many people's hearts before, so it was unusual for local people to be willing to lead the way for Zhang Xianzhong's troops.

In fact, even without this middle-aged scholar, Ai Nengqi would have tried to recruit some people who knew the local situation to lead the way.

After listening to the scholar's words, Ai Nengqi nodded slightly and asked the general on the other side, "How far is the probing horse in front?"

The partial general said: "The furthest point is Longquan Town, which is five miles away. News came back that there is no one in the town."

Ai Nengqi frowned upon hearing this, and his thick eyebrows were trembling.
