For the naked threat of Liu Yin, the general of Fenggao Camp, Zhang Ju, the prefect, hated it in his heart, but his face was calm. To be able to reach his position, his emotions have been deeply hidden in his heart.
And now is not the time for him to express his position. Someone below will take over. This is officialdom.
Sure enough, as soon as Liu Yin finished speaking, the county thief Cao Pangzun picked up the conversation.
Then Pang Zun smiled and said to Liu Yin:
"General Liu Ying said this rashly. Now that we can't even figure out how many enemy soldiers there are, it wouldn't be rash to leave the city. I have a plan to solve this crisis. From now on, judging from the behavior of the Taishan thieves, the leader of the thieves does not know the soldiers.
With Ying County and Mou County behind him threatening his retreat, he dared to directly attack me, Fenggao. We just need to hold on to the city, keep it quiet, and wait for the Taishan bandits to attack. Wait for him for a long time
When the attack fails, the ruler of Fu can order the garrison troops from Yingxian and Mouxian counties to attack his back route and cut off his pay route. When our troops come out again, we will surely capture him in one fell swoop."
"Okay, that's very well said."
Unexpectedly, these words were said by the camp general Liu Yin. I thought he would become angry when Pang Zun stopped him, but who could have imagined that he would be so cowardly.
Of course, Pang Zun's advice was a good one. He kept him quiet, waited for the work at ease, cut off his return route, and captured him in one fell swoop. He, Liu Yin, was a man who knew soldiers, so of course he knew that this was a good plan, and he could be said to be a veteran in planning for the country.
But the main reason for his cowardice is because of Pang Zun. At a young age, this person was the chief of thieves in the county. Although he was only a hundred-stone official, he was able to take charge of the thieves in a county, which was a great position. What did he rely on?
?It depends on his family.
This man's family had famous generals. Zhang Bolu, the great pirate who once brought trouble to Qingxu, was pacified by his ancestors. But what made Liu Yin even more afraid was that he had a brother named Pang Xun, who worked as a Xiaohuangmen in the palace. This kind of character
The most important thing is not to mess with.
So as soon as Pang Zun said this, Liu Yin immediately clapped his hands and applauded.
Zhang Ju, the governor above, looked at everything that happened with a smile. He felt like a mirror in his heart. He didn't reprimand Liu Yin too much. After all, the battalion under his command was indeed the most skilled force in Taishan County at present, and they still needed to use it.
other side.
When Pang Zunxian, the leader of the thief Cao, came up with the plan and won Liu Yin's approval, Zhang Ju knew that now was the time for him to speak. This is the wisdom of being the chief official, and he is always the last to express his stance.
Zhang Ju cleared his throat and concluded:
"Very good, what Uncle Sun said coincides with me. I also want to stick to the high position and wait for the hard work. Since everyone agrees with this policy, let's do it. Who else among you wants to fill the gap?"
Shusun is the name of Pang Zun.
In fact, when the prefect said this, the meeting was already over, but Cao Houxi, the county soldier, was stupid for some reason today, and suddenly interrupted:
"I also have a plan. We can call on several powerful men from Fenggao to send troops to defend the city. I think it will be more foolproof that way."
After Hou Xi said these words, Pang Zun and Li Xiang lowered their heads and sneered, cursing that this person really has no expression. Is it your turn to fill the vacancy for the prince?
Sure enough, after hearing this, the prefect sitting there said expressionlessly:
"This is the right thing to do. Do it this way and leave."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Ju appointed Li Xiang, the county lieutenant, as the commander-in-chief of the battle, responsible for the defense of the four gates. Pang Zun was his deputy, responsible for eradicating traitors and thieves in the city. Hou Xi was his assistant, supervising the bravery of the people who guarded the city and the provision of food, weapons and armor.
Supply. As for the camp general Liu Yin, he was stationed in the military camp outside the city, and he and Feng Gao were the horns of each other.
After the arrangement was completed, Zhang Ju returned to the back hall. This was his second wisdom as an official. He delegated power to his subordinates and sat in the government office in Kezhai, handling affairs gracefully.
As soon as Li Xiang and the four people over there retreated, several people started shooting cold arrows at each other.
First, Li Xiang laughed at Liu Yin, who was the purple gold pillar they had given to Feng Gao, but he had to guard the stronghold for Feng Gao's disciples outside the city. Among them, he bit two people outside the city very loudly.
And Liu Yin's face was also livid. He didn't expect the eunuch to do such a brilliant job and put them directly outside the city. Although he said they were like each other's horns, when the Taishan thieves came, they would not be beaten first. When the time came, , Isn’t it up to the prefect to decide whether reinforcements can be sent out from the city to rescue them? If reinforcements don’t come by then, then all of his battalion will die.
At this moment, Liu Yin was also annoyed that his mouth was faster than his brain. But seeing Li Xiang's villain, he became furious and said:
"Let's wait and see who laughs last."
After saying that, Liu Yin walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
Over there, the thief Cao Chang Pang Zun earnestly reminded the soldier Cao Chang Hou Xi, and said seriously:
"Lao Hou, why are you so ignorant? You have already said what I have said, why do you still say it? Isn't this embarrassing to you? You are also an old official, why do you make such a crude mistake? Haha."
This Pang Zun was at least ten years younger than Hou Shi, but with his tone, he treated the old Hou as his son. The old Hou also bent down and flattered him.
After that, Li Xiang, Liu Yin, and Pang Zun dispersed with their own ulterior motives. As soon as Hou Xi and the other three people left behind, his bent waist straightened up again. He squinted his eyes, snorted coldly, and left. .
--------------------------------
Taiye Pavilion is a large pavilion thirty miles away from Fenggao City. It is also an outpost to the east of Fenggao. Bandits traveling west to Mount Tai have always had to break this pavilion before they can continue their westward march.
The reason for this is that this place is right in the middle of Fenggao and Changshaowu. Fenggao and Changshao are sixty miles apart. Generally speaking, in order to maintain the physical strength for fighting during a normal march, a large army will usually only be able to move day by day. Thirty miles. Therefore, if the enemy breaks through Changshaowu, even if they want to attack Fenggao, they will need to spend a night repairing here at Taiye Pavilion.
Just like this, in addition to the normal duty of arresting theft, Taiye Pavilion also plays a very important role as military security. Therefore, this pavilion is particularly strong and its establishment is three more than that of a normal pavilion.
Generally speaking, a normal number of officials in a pavilion is five to six. Among them, the chief of the pavilion, Qiu Pi, the chief of the pavilion, the waiter of the pavilion, and the rafter of the pavilion. However, in Taiye Pavilion, there are ten pavilions and pavilions. And in case of encountering the police , with these ten pavilion soldiers, the chief of the pavilion can still recruit strong men from nearby villages, ranging from dozens to more than a hundred. When the time comes, relying on the strong walls of the pavilion, it will be more than enough to defend the village.
But this time, Taiye Pavilion was in flames, shining like blood as the sun set in the west.
Li Damu's two generals, Zhang Nan and Wang Han, were leading their troops to clean up the battlefield. This time Zhang Chong handed over the vanguard task to Li Damu, who had always been steady.
He took Zhang Nan and Wang Han to Taiye Pavilion at Shenshi that day. At that time, Taiye Pavilion had been closed tightly. The chief of the pavilion on the wall was still shouting at that time, saying, if you surrender now, father and son will still see each other. If you persist in your obsession and don't realize it, you will die without a burial place.
Having said this, Li Damu knew that this wall must be attacked. He ordered Wang Han to be responsible for attacking the wall with ants, and Zhang Nan to be responsible for covering up the wall behind the formation.
Li Damu's division is the main force among the ten divisions of the army. It has elite soldiers. There are hundreds of armored men. In addition, there are many fighting generals in this division. There are more than 20 brave generals who are good at swordsmanship selected by Li Damu.
, can be said to be a powerful force under Zhang Chong.
The two generals under Li Damu are also two of Zhang Chong's particularly optimistic about their potential. Needless to say, among them Zhang Nan, when Gongsun Qi besieged Wangzhou Feng, his courage and intelligence in breaking through alone were already outstanding. Again.
In addition, since he is from Zhang Chong's hometown, his future is naturally unlimited.
The same is true for another song general, Wang Han. Outside Tugu City, his knowledge has far exceeded that of his peers, not to mention his superb spear skills, which have reached the level of proficiency.
Li Damu chose Wang Han to attack first because he was brave and good at attacking.
After Wang Han got the order, he called his two generals, one named Deng Heng and the other Li Nong. They were both outstanding warriors among the mountain warriors in Mount Tai. Each of them had a team of fifty soldiers.
The Liao Ba Dao Team. These people lived and grew up in the mountains, and they trekked through the mountains and treacherous terrain as if they were walking on flat ground.
Just like a wall more than ten feet high, normal people have to use a ladder to climb up. But what about these Shanliao sword-drawing teams? Each one takes a few steps and jumps lightly, and they can easily climb over it. They are so good at jumping.
Wang Han had already taken a rough look at the number of defenders on the wall under the pavilion. To be honest, there were quite a few people, some hundreds of them. But in his opinion, these were just chickens and dogs.
When he glanced at them, no soldier dared to look at him. How could such a fish-belly man stop the sharp soldiers under his command?
Therefore, he ordered Deng Heng to lead the first wave and lead his fifty-man Shanliao Ba Dao team to attack first. Li Nong and his men carried the built ladder and served as backup below.
When Wang Han was arranging his troops here, the pavilion chief on the wall of Taiye Pavilion looked tremblingly at the Taishan bandits below, pursed his dry lips, and said to the pavilion chief:
"Chief of the pavilion, it seems that these soldiers are really going to attack us."
The director of the pavilion narrowed his eyes, hummed, and said nothing more. The atmosphere was solidifying.
A pavilion guard over there suddenly interrupted:
"Taiwan chief, the thieves are elite soldiers, but they look down upon us. We can take them by surprise and come out of the wall to attack the thieves. If the thieves are unprepared, they will be defeated. In this way, we can also defend the city."
As soon as these words came out, Lao Tingcheng trembled and saw that the person speaking was the newcomer Zhang Kai. His father was the Ting Ting soldier. He had just taken over from his father recently.
Seeing that this child was helpless, Lao Tingcheng directly scolded:
"You little kid, you know nothing about being a soldier. Why don't you go down?"
Zhang Kai was not convinced and wanted to say more. Several of his father's colleagues over there hurriedly pulled his sleeves and signaled him to stop talking. Seeing that several uncles had this intention, Zhang Kai turned away jealously.
After seeing Zhang Kai's obedience, Lao Tingcheng was satisfied and said to the pavilion chief:
"Ting chief, Xiao Zhang Wuzhuang, I don't know where he read useless dead stuff. If he does what he does, he will kill us. Look at our soldiers, they are all nearby Lihu Guizhou heads, who have ever used any swords?
Ge, if you let them guard the wall and pretend, it's okay. If you let them follow us and charge into the enemy's formation, we'll scare them out even if they don't make us pee."
After hearing this, the director of the pavilion smiled miserably:
"Well, Old Sun, what do you think we should do? If we defend like this, we will definitely be dead."
After hearing what the pavilion chief said, the old Tingcheng cursed, you also know that there is a dead end, so what heroic words did you shout down just now, and said that there will be no burial place in death, isn't that inciting others to beat us?
But it was useless to complain. After thinking about it for a while, Lao Tingcheng finally came up with a solution.
