"Do you think that my commander-in-chief ordered Lin Fangping to cross the border and commit danger just for fun?"
Faced with Zhang Cheng's rhetorical question, He Biao, Zhang Guangda, Zhang Guodong and others did not know how to reply. However, Wei Zhice answered from the side: "The commander of the town ordered the Huwei battalion to attack dangerously. Could it be that he wanted to promote the military power of our Xuanfu? And observe whether the slave chief really returns to Shengjing."
Zhang Cheng walked back to the big case room and said to them with a smile: "That's true."
"And the third one?"
Wei Zhice asked, waving to Zhang Chengfang who was waiting on the side, and stepped forward to fill the cup with new tea for everyone. They sat around Zhang Cheng like this.
Several of them are Zhang Cheng's old subordinates, the most core group of people in the Xuanfu army, and their relationship with Zhang Cheng is also very subtle. They are both superiors and subordinates, but also brothers and friends.
After several people were seated, Zhang Cheng said slowly: "I just guessed that the slave chief Hongtai would probably return to Shenyang at this time, so I took the risk and arranged for the Huwei camp to cross the river to investigate."
Zhang Guangda's eyes widened and he praised: "The commander-in-chief predicts the enemy's plans first. We all know this very well, and we admire him every time. But I really can't figure out how the commander-in-chief could predict the enemy's plans." In the chief’s belly?”
After Zhang Cheng was promoted to the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Xuan Mansion and was given the title of General Zhenshuo, all his generals no longer called him Commander-in-Chief, but instead all called him "Commander-in-Chief".
This title is truly derived from the unique title of the Commander-in-Chief of the Xuanfu. Because the Commander-in-Chief of the Xuanfu generally wears the seal of General Zhenshuo, the successive Commander-in-Chiefs of the Xuanfu in the middle and late Ming Dynasties were often called "Zhenshuo" by their subordinates. "Handsome" is called.
Today, Zhang Cheng is already the official chief military officer of Xuanfu Town in the Ming Dynasty, and has also been awarded the seal of General Zhenshuo. It was only at this time that he became an out-and-out general with the seal.
At this moment, facing Zhang Guangda's question, Zhang Cheng just smiled mysteriously and said: "The secret must not be leaked!"
Naturally, Zhang Cheng couldn't tell them that he had come through time travel, and that these ingenious plans that he had used to predict the enemy's plans were actually based on his memories of his previous life!
Even if Zhang Cheng dares to tell the truth, will they believe him?
At that time, how should we explain to them what time travel is?
But now, just one sentence "the secret must not be leaked" has completely eliminated this problem, and it has also made it more mysterious, so why not!
Zhang Guangda's question was put off, and Zhang Cheng returned to the original topic. He continued: "The reason why I secretly ordered Fang Ping to intercept and kill the slave chieftain is that in addition to what Zhi Ce said just now, I also want to use this to provoke Arouse the slave chieftain."
"Why is this?"
Faced with Zhang Guodong's question, Zhang Cheng continued: "You also know that we fought with the slaves and captured some slave thieves like Bashiku. We also know that when the slave chief came from Shenyang, he took many things along the way. The bowl filled with blood."
There was a crisp "pop" sound.
It turned out that it was Zhang Guangda who slapped his thigh suddenly, and he then said hurriedly: "Yes, what is that one called... called nose... what is nose?"
"Epistaxis." He Biao reminded him at the right time.
"Yeah."
Zhang Guangda said anxiously: "It's this nose or something disease."
Wei Zhice next to him shook his head and explained his confusion: "You can think of it this way. It means that the nosebleeds will not stop flowing. When riding a horse, you have to hold a bowl in your hand, which is specially used to catch the nosebleeds. .”
"Hey, be good..."
Zhang Guangda opened his mouth for a long time and then said again: "This is a bit scary. Isn't it true?"
He asked everyone again with a suspicious look on his face: "How much blood can there be in this person's body? Can it be shed like this and not torture him to death?"
A smile appeared on Wei Zhice's face and he continued: "This is not in line with our intention to suppress the commander-in-chief."
"Hahaha……"
Zhang Cheng and Wei Zhice looked at each other and smiled, and the rest of them also laughed together.
After a while, the laughter died down. Wei Zhice looked at Zhang Cheng and said, "The purpose of suppressing the commander is to imitate Zhuge Kongming's strategy of angering Zhou Gongjin to death?"
"Is it the part about Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu?"
Zhang Guangda seemed to understand at this time, and he asked hurriedly: "But Zhuge Liang is a three-qi Zhou Yu, so I pissed him off to death, and we are just a Qi slave chief Hong Tai, can we succeed?"
"Of course it can't happen."
Zhang Cheng continued with a smile: "Zhuge Liang's three qi and Zhou Yu's, those are just family rumors and are not completely credible."
He then added: "However, it does not prevent us from using this strategy."
Zhang Cheng waved his hand to Zhang Chengfang to fill up the tea for everyone, and then continued: "I didn't think about making the slave chief angry to death this time, but as long as I can make him angry and add fuel to the fire, I can
It just achieves the goal.”
"This outpost is actually a demonstration. Taking advantage of the recent defeat of the Tartar thieves and when their morale is low, sending out surprise troops to intercept the slave chief and defeat the slave chief's guards in a mounted battle will greatly damage the slave thieves.
Fighting spirit and morale.
Just like Fang Ping this time, although he was evenly matched with the slave chief's guards, you can see that this time the enemy and our troops were evenly matched, and it was also the field cavalry battle that slave thieves are best at.
However, Fangping's Tiger Guard camp was not timid, but instead killed the slave thieves until they retreated without daring to pursue them. This is a great victory for me."
When Zhang Cheng said this, he scanned the crowd and continued: "And the reason why I want to spread this matter widely in the army is to boost the morale of our army. Although the Tatar thieves and cavalry are powerful, they are not invincible.
.
As long as we, the Xuanfu army officers and men, are not timid in the face of battle, all of them can fight bravely to take the lead, and the slave thieves are not invincible.
Even if we do not rely on chariots, guns and artillery to assist in the battle, as long as our army is well-trained and brave in battle, we can still repel the slave thieves in the field, or even defeat them."
"The Commander-in-Chief has great views and is so far-sighted that I admire him for his practical teachings and strategies!" Wei Zhice actually picked up the teapot himself and filled Zhang Cheng with tea.
Next, everyone talked about the jingle written by Zhang Cheng. After laughing for a while, they all left.
Before leaving, Zhang Cheng reminded them that although the Xuanfu Army had no war arrangements recently, the battalions should not be ignored. The sergeants still had to drill continuously every day and stay in combat mode at all times to be ready for orders.
When several people asked him if he had any arrangements, Zhang Cheng just shook his head and said nothing.
…………
After Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, convened a meeting with all the officials and generals, on the night of the second day for some unknown reason, more than two miles east of the intersection of the Nerv River and the Xiaoling River, directly opposite the Nanguan of Jinzhou City, there was a blaze of lights.
Transparent, shouting to kill and shake the sky.
This restless sound spread to the south bank, and all the camps of the Ming army were shocked. They thought that the Qing army crossed the river at night to attack the camp. They hurriedly waved their lanterns and blew their trumpets. After gathering the troops and pulling them outside the camp, they could not see them.
The Qing army attacked.
All the officers and generals looked suspicious, and even Hong Chengchou, the usually calm Governor of Jiliao, seemed a little out of sorts. He didn't even have his armor on, and only wore a wool cloak outside, so he hurried over.
He stood in front of the army formation and looked at the other side. He saw the sky-high flames and the shouts of killing mainly concentrated on the Nanguan side of Jinzhou. At first glance, it seemed that the Qing army was going to cross the river to attack.
But if you listen carefully, the shouts of killing that came from behind seem to be far away from you, and are not getting closer to the south bank. Only then did everyone gradually calm down.
They all speculated about what happened to the Qing army on the other side. Of course, the most likely reason was that Zu Dashou from Jinzhou City was killed. Even if Zu Dashou did not personally lead his men to kill, he sent troops out of the city to fight at night.
But why did Zu Dashou send troops out of the city today to attack the Qing army camp at night? Although the officials and generals had different opinions, their guesses were very unreliable.
Wu Sangui, the nephew, on the other hand, seemed to hit the mark with his words, which seemed to be very true. He said: "Director Hong, I think the city must have been cut off from the supply of materials and there is no way to make a living. So we went out of the city to attack at night, probably to send people across the river to ask for help.
"
Everyone thought Wu Sangui's words were true. Even the governor Hong Chengchou said with emotion: "The city's materials and salary have always been insufficient. It's really difficult for me to be the commander-in-chief."
At this moment, all the officials and generals gathered around Hong Chengchou on a high platform built for commanding the crossing of the river on the south bank of the Nerv River. Hong Chengchou put down his telescope and said in a deep voice: "General Wu, please send a team of elite cavalry to go.
Search east, in the direction of Jinzhou Nanguan, to see if there is any news from the city."
Wu Sangui was obviously a little anxious, and he said: "Director Hong, how about the general leading the troops in person?"
"Okay, then I'll trouble General Chang Bo."
…………
After Wu Sangui left, Hong Chengchou and the officers and generals did not dare to go back to the camp to rest. They all gathered here to watch what was going on on the other side. It was not until after the second watch that the other side became slightly calm, and it was obvious that the war was over.
But after waiting and waiting, Wu Sangui still didn't come to report back. When it was close to midnight, they saw a flash of fire rushing back from the east. Everyone guessed that Wu Sangui's reward must have come, but they didn't know whether it was good or bad.
After a while, Guo saw Wu Sangui rushing up to the high platform, coming to Governor Hong Chengchou and saying: "Governor Hong, Guo sent someone from the city to ask for help."
"oh."
Hong Chengchou asked: "How did you get the news? Someone came across the river?"
"Yes, we will finally save one person on the river bank."
"Where is the person, but he is injured?" Hong Chengchou asked urgently.
Wu Sangui cupped his fists and replied: "Report to Governor Hong, the man's clothes are soaked and his body is covered with blood. The general has ordered someone to escort him to the governor's residence."
"good."
Hong Chengchou nodded to express his satisfaction and praised: "General Chang Bo, you are cautious and prudent in doing things, and you have lived up to my expectations."
He then said to everyone: "Let's go back to the camp."

In the large tent of Governor Ji Liao, the officials and generals were sitting in two rows, and on a soft chair in the middle, a thin middle-aged man was sitting.
