Chapter three hundred and forty-ninth: sharpen the knife, point troops and send generals
It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high. The sound of the wind passing through the roof was whimpering, and there was no starlight in the night sky, as if there was rain.
At night, Laoshan Mansion was gloomy, and some lights leaked out in a few places.
In the evening, only wealthy families can afford to light the lights.
Hua family, Zhong family, Huang family...
Family and large houses are filled with continuous torches. Many people are arranged there, silently, with only the slight sound of the torches burning.
The leader stood in the middle and said in a deep voice: "The battle tomorrow is a good opportunity for everyone to make achievements. The rewards of merits are waiting for you. Now, we will start to distribute clothes, armor and weapons."
As he said that, someone lifted up the big box and opened it. There were bright swords, guns, swords and halberds inside. Another box was a piece of armor, with radiant luster...
These are the family's products that are well-known and will not appear in front of others easily in the air. They will not take out the equipment until the critical moment.
Every family has these important materials hidden.
The box kept lifting up, and when it opened, it was dazzling, and it was full of silver, an inscription, snow-white and flawless, with the best silver.
"Tomorrow, I will reward you according to my merits!"
Everyone looked at countless silver liang, and their eyes suddenly became hot. If the head of the family had not given the order and was not allowed to make noise, they would have been screaming. They came forward one by one and collected their armor and weapons. Some were still on the side and began to sharpen their sharp blades. The sharper the demon, the more powerful it would be tomorrow.
This situation happened in various family courtyards of Laoshan Prefecture, and the masters also stayed at home and did the final mobilization work. The main strategic policy had been discussed and formulated. It was not complicated to say, just wait for the county soldiers outside the city to attack the city.
Once the attack begins outside, attacks will occur inside. The leaders of each family lead their troops and head to the government office from different directions.
As long as you take down the government office, you will take down the city.
This plan is simple and effective, because once the troops are on the rise outside, Chen Sanlang will definitely mobilize troops to support and guard the gate in order to protect the city wall.
In this way, the government office, as the hinterland, will naturally be empty. When you kill in, it will be as easy as cutting melons and vegetables. If Chen Sanlang cannot escape, he will be able to catch them all in one go.
I am destined to be sleepless tonight.
The government office is also brightly lit and the atmosphere is serious.
In the court, Chen Sanlang sat on the upper head in armor. Seats were lined up on both sides, namely Zhou Fencao, Song Zhiyuan, Xu Nianniang, etc.
Anyone with good reputation has basically arrived, but the number is indeed a bit shabby, and there are not many people available. Even Uncle Hua has been on the table, so it is conceivable.
Since occupying the government office, the main families of Chen Wang and other families have also been taken into the government office for protection. As for the Chen Mansion, most of them live in the family members of Zhuang Bing and other entourages.
At this time, Zhou Fencao stood up and said, "Young Master, among the released prisoners, there is a hero named 'Zhang Bo'. He was originally a wealthy family in the city. He was brave and good at fighting. He once fought with the barbarian army and was a local hero. But later he was slandered, his family was destroyed, and he was imprisoned in a death row. I think this person is worth it."
Chen Sanlang nodded: "Okay, please come up."
Not long after, Zhang Bo appeared in the hall. He changed into cleaner clothes and said that he looked much more energetic. When he saw Chen Sanlang, he hurriedly fell to the ground: "Zhang Bo bowed to the young master."
Chen Sanlang left his seat and helped him up: "Your Madam Zhang doesn't have to be too polite."
When Zhang Bo saw that he was approachable, he added some favor: "Thank you for your kindness in saving you. Zhang went through fire and water and refused to refuse. If you have anything, just give me instructions."
He had learned that Chen Sanlang seemed young, but was the top scholar who was ranked three yuan and the imperial court appointed by the emperor. These identities were enough to be impressed if they were released.
Chen Sanlang was not polite, and he was straightforward: "Su Wen was a heroic and righteous person with more connections, so I would like to ask you to come forward and recruit a group of troops. The more you have, the better. The more you have, the more you have, and you will be recruited into the army and form a team."
Zhang Bo bowed and said, "I dare to ask what the team is going to do?"
Chen Sanlang said: "What may happen tomorrow, and the wealthy families in the city will not obey the governance and intend to cause chaos. You will lead the team to maintain public order on the streets. If you encounter someone who is in trouble, you will be killed without mercy!"
When Zhang Bo heard this, his eyes lit up. Not only Su Zhenhong, his enemies were inseparable from the Hua family and others. Now, when they heard this, they immediately said: "Zhang Bo obeys the order and dies!"
Chen Sanlang looked at him and said, "Time is tight, so it may be difficult to recruit many people for a while. But don't worry, you can go to the military camp to select soldiers Ding Wubai to join the team."
Zhang Bo was overjoyed: "Thank you, young master."
After saying that, he turned around and left. He suffered from hard work and was not very easy to walk now, but he held his head and chest up, and he felt a little bit arrogant.
After all, he was a man who had led thousands of troops to fight fiercely with the barbarian army.
Zhou Fencao said again: "Young master, you are in a difficult situation inside and outside, and the spies have already received a reward. He said that all the soldiers from the six counties have arrived and all gathered at the East Gate. There are about five or six thousand people, with a huge momentum and amazing momentum. I'm afraid they want to concentrate their efforts to attack a city gate and break it up."
After a pause, he continued: "The four gates of the city are the thinnest walls of the East Gate, and the walls are much shorter. Obviously, they knew the weaknesses here, so they were arranged in this way. We must dispatch troops as soon as possible and focus on protecting the East Gate."
After hearing this, Chen Sanlang touched his chin and suddenly said, "I have heard a saying: We must first calm the internal situation when fighting foreign countries. Therefore, there is no need to be nervous about things outside the city. Even if they are allowed to attack, the deployment of the four gates of guards will not be changed."
When Zhou Fencao heard this, he was anxious: "How can this work?"
At present, there are only a hundred soldiers guarding the Dongmen. If such a few people are not enough for someone to rush to kill, they will throw away their armor and be defeated. Once the city gate is broken, thousands of county soldiers will come in, and the consequences will be unstoppable.
Chen Sanlang waved his hand: "Sir, don't worry, I have my own arrangements. The most urgent task is the situation in the city. Zhang Bo's team is not enough to suppress it. He also has to send additional personnel to select one thousand soldiers to help. The leader can only ask Uncle Xu to take action."
Xu Nianniang nodded slightly below and expressed her agreement.
"As for the government office, Xu Jun will be in charge of guarding the war. In addition, more soldiers from the Chen government will be sent to help..."
If one order is issued one by one, it is aimed at the defense inside the city, without mentioning the situation outside the city for a long time. In calculation, almost all the soldiers who can be used are used.
Zhou Fencao was almost stunned when he heard this. He always felt that Chen Sanlang was familiar with military books, had a strategic plan, and had a maturity that was inconsistent with his age. Why did he feel like he had become a different person and was unable to move every step of the way today?
"Young Master, never..."
Chen Sanlang directly interrupted him: "Sir, don't say much, I have decided. Let's do it. Let's go down and prepare, do whatever you should do, and there must be no mistakes."
Everyone stood up to salute and retreated.
Zhou Fen Cao was so anxious that he was walking around, but Chen Sanlang ran away very quickly.
Song Zhiyuan came over to comfort him and said, "Brother Zhou, the young master is not like a stubborn person. He must have other opinions and can retreat to a powerful enemy."
Zhou Fen Cao thought about it all the time, but he couldn't think of it. He sighed: "I'm afraid he's young and I don't think so."
Song Zhiyuan said: "All the way to Yongzhou, the young master was determined to command. How could he make any mistakes? Now, I still believe him."
Zhou Fencao smiled bitterly and said, "I believe it too."
"That's fine."
Zhou Fencao was speechless and looked up at the night sky. Seeing that the night was dark and the stars and moon were dull, he couldn't help but sigh again.
I am destined to be sleepless tonight.
