Yu Jin called over all the key generals under General Yu Jin, ranging from Tun General to Shi General. There were fifty-four people in total. The ancestral hall of Taishan Prefecture was so crowded that no one could even move.
At this time, Yu Jin had been pulled aside by Yu Jin's guards, the incense case was emptied, and the incense was already placed in the earthen stove on the case.
All the military academies were whispering to each other, not knowing what Yu Jin was going to do, and they all stood in anticipation.
Yu Jin, wearing a silk scarf and yellow clothes, said to the generals in the temple:
"I just received the military order from my headquarters, asking us to set out immediately to attack Mou County at night."
As soon as these words came out, everyone would be in an uproar.
"What, how is that possible?"
"Isn't Mou County behind us?"
"We just walked thirty miles during the day. Wasn't it in vain? Let me tell you, we shouldn't have attacked Fenggao at that time. We could have gone directly to Mou County."
But there are also people with high consciousness who are trying hard to explain to their colleagues:
"The higher-ups can see from afar, and naturally they have their reasons. Let's just do it."
But as soon as these words came out, people choked:
"Are you from above? It makes sense. Why can't you tell us your reason? Don't you trust us?"
Just like that, both sides almost started to quarrel.
Yibo said that the higher-ups were just messing around, but it meant nothing, and Feng Gao should not have been beaten in the first place.
Another person said that if you stand high and see far, let’s not worry about it blindly. We can just do what we are told.
From here we can also see the difference between the Yu Jin Department and Li Damu Department.
Although Li Damu's department did not have many orders and prohibitions, because the entire department's backbone generals were all new, and there were not many connections between the generals, when Li Damu gave orders with a straight face, the generals did not dare to There are two things to say.
But Yu Jin is different. The main backbone of his team are all old thieves who originally looked at Qin Feng, and his bond with Yu Jin is particularly deep. The advantage of this is that he can control the entire army very well and has high combat effectiveness. But the disadvantage is that The generals have no fear of the ban and can say whatever they think.
Yu Jin was also reflecting in his heart. Although he originally expected that there might be a situation where the generals made noises, but when he actually encountered it, he couldn't help but feel pricked in his heart. He reflected on whether he had been too soft and too strong in the past. Should he have to let these people go? Know his Yu Wenze methods.
But this is all for later, now he will start to continue performing.
Yu Jin waved his hand to interrupt the quarrel among the generals and raised his voice:
"Brothers, this is what matters now. My intention is to obey the military order, streamline the troops, equip the formation lightly, and drive directly to win the county."
After saying this, a team general said something strange:
"Yu Tou, even if we rush there, we will still die if we go there. If we run there, we will lose half our lives, let alone use a knife to attack the city. We are all your children, we can't be so light. Throw.”
Yu Jin's anger flashed when he said this, but he had a city after all, and he didn't want to cause trouble here, so he followed the man's words:
"I know what you guys mean, it's not that you are afraid of walking on these night roads. None of us mountain huts are not iron-clad, so how can we complain when we run for a while? Also, you are not my disciples, Yu Wenze, we are all Qu Kui's brother."
After saying this, Yu Jin glanced at the team general who had just come up to say something strange.
Then he continued:
"Everyone is worried about whether we can win this battle. To be honest, I'm not worried, because Qu Kuai leads us and we are always invincible. But I know that many of you are afraid in your hearts and don't dare. Okay, then
Let’s ask the ghosts and gods, and if it works out well, we’ll be here at Taishan Prefecture’s ancestral hall. Let’s ask the gods to see if we can win this battle.”
As soon as this statement came out, all the generals were frightened. Can Yu Jin communicate with ghosts and gods? Why didn't he have this ability before?
Then I heard Yu Jin continue to speak:
"After a while, I will pray to the Lord of Taishan Prefecture and ask about the good fortune of this battle. I have a hundred copper coins here. When I finish praying, I will scatter them on the ground. If they are all positive, it is the Lord of Taishan Prefecture who has revealed himself and told us
Good luck in this battle."
After saying that, just as he was about to pray, Zhang Da, the general over there, grabbed Yu Jin's sleeve and said anxiously:
"General, please don't do this. If it doesn't work, all the generals will be frustrated. Not to mention fighting, even running at night will lose half of your men. Don't do this."
After hearing this, Yu Jin smiled, waved his hand to Zhang Da, and then pointed to himself, meaning you believe me.
Of course Zhang Da believed in Yu Jin, but even if he didn't believe in him, he also believed in Qu Kuai's vision of promoting Yu Jin all the way. So seeing Yu Jin's promise, Zhang Da could only let go of his doubts and see what Yu Jin would do.
Yu Jin held the incense and prayed for a moment, then put the incense in the clay stove. The incense curled up to the clay sculpture of the Taishan Mansion King, as if he was communicating something.
Then Yu Jin took a wooden box from the guard and threw all the copper coins in the box to the ground.
Crash, crash, the copper coins were scattered all over the floor.
Then all the generals rushed forward and exclaimed loudly:
"The Lord of Taishan Prefecture has shown his sanctity. This battle will be auspicious."
"This battle must be won!"
"Must win!"
This time a group of generals rose up and fought enthusiastically. Most of them were Taishan people, and most of them believed in the Lord of Taishan. Now that the gods have become holy, what else can be said about this battle.
beat!
Seeing that his morale was ready, Yu Jin continued his efforts and immediately asked several soldiers to pull a few wooden boards and cover them on these magical copper coins. Four or five strong men with hammers came up next to them and nailed the wooden boards to death with a clang.
on the ground.
Yu Jin and the generals said:
"These copper coins are already the property of Fujun, and we cannot touch them. I will cover them here, and then when we return with a great victory, we will come to this ancestral hall to worship the Fulord of Taishan. Come, everyone, join me in worshiping the Fulord.
"
After saying that, Yu Jin turned around, faced the clay sculpture of the Taishan Mansion King, gathered up his clothes and bowed before him.
All the generals behind him followed Yu Jin's example and bowed respectfully to the clay statue.
Not long after, all the generals came out of the temple in excitement and went back to their respective departments, telling all the generals that the battle would be won by the help of gods and ghosts.
In less than a moment, Yu Jinbu was rushing towards Mou County.
--------
Forty miles is now a half-marathon, and regular runners need to run for an hour. This is still a situation where modern people's nutritional physique and professional training are very high.
One thing to say is that Zhang Chong's strategy is good, and he has understood the true and false of the military strategist. However, people cannot always expect to accomplish things by stimulating their mental strength. Sometimes, they still have to pay attention to the real material basis.
Around the time of Yinshi, Zhang Chong arrived at Mou County one after another with his headquarters and Zhang Dan's three troops, and the journey lasted three hours.
At this time, the situation of each ministry has been sent to Zhang Chong. It can be said that half of the troops that have actually arrived are not there. The situation of each ministry here is different.
For example, Li Damu's troops had a total strength of 400, and the actual number was 136, which was equivalent to two-thirds of the laggards. However, Li Damu explained that they selected 136 elite men and set out overnight. In fact, they were 136 men.
The troops arrived at full capacity. Let’s talk about the Dianwei tribe, with a total strength of 420 soldiers, and the actual number is 200, which is half behind. Finally, the Yujin tribe is the best, with a total strength of 400, and the actual number of troops is 320, only 320.
Only eighty people were left behind.
As for Zhang Chong's headquarters, they should do their best.
From here we can also see the situation of each department. For example, Li Damu and Yu Jin are both old camp leaders, and there are many veterans. The situation of the veterans is not only their fighting will, but their skills are better than the recruits, and most importantly, their physical fitness is stronger than the recruits.
Before joining the Taishan Army, the Shanliao people were starved of food and were as lean as firewood. They had no strength or fat to run for a long time. But after joining the Taishan Army, they had enough millet tubes, oil and water, and sufficient training, and they became stronger and stronger.
Get up. So the earlier you join Taishan Fang, the better your physical condition will be.
Seeing the situation of various ministries, Yang Chong knew roughly that there were more than a thousand soldiers rushing outside Mou County at this moment.
It's okay, just use these thousand people to destroy Mou County.
After that, Zhang Chong asked all the troops to rest, and asked the baggage soldiers to distribute coarse salt to each soldier and let them drink it mixed with cooked water from the gourd to replenish their physical strength.
Finally, he ordered that one hour later, at Mao hour, when the sky was just breaking, the entire army would launch a general attack on Mou County.
At this moment, Mou County was unconscious and there was no sound in the dark night.
----------------------------------
But in fact Mou County is not ignorant. At least for some people, this night was restless and difficult to sleep.
In the Mou County Office, the lights are brightly lit at the moment, and servants are constantly being ordered to carry wine and meat into the hall. At this time, the county captain and Cao Changzheng are entertaining all the powerful people in the county, not only those in the city, but also the local powerful people outside the city.
He was also invited into the city.
This banquet started at Youshi, went on all night, and has not stopped until now.
Several of the Cao chiefs were old and couldn't hold on any longer, but when they saw the red-eyed county lieutenant constantly exchanging cups with various wealthy families, they all had no choice but to hold on.
The county captain of Mou County is a local, his name is Li Yi. He doesn't want to drink, but what can he do if he doesn't drink? If these wealthy families don't drink to make them feel comfortable, how can they get them to agree to send troops?
On the first day of the day, when the Mou County soldiers who had followed County Magistrate Zhang He out to battle fled back to the city in a panic, County Lieutenant Li Yi was completely stunned.
The county magistrate died, and so did the battalion general Ren Ba. Then seven hundred soldiers left the county, and only about thirty defeated soldiers came back. Then he also killed those defeated soldiers.
Those defeated soldiers kept saying anything, but they all died. It was so miserable. It made the whole county panic, so they had no choice but to use the heads of some county soldiers to calm people's hearts.
It's easy to kill, but they really have no soldiers in Mou County at this time. Li Yi brought all the patrolmen here, and barely managed to gather a hundred people. With this few people, they could only stand on the city wall.
one side.
He had no choice but to shamelessly make an appointment with the wealthy families in the city and ask them to help send troops to defend the city. After all, they had a share in guarding the city and keeping the people safe. Then there was a big banquet, and the drinking was so dark that he, Li Yi, even spat.
I had vomited three times, but those people were still drinking. Especially those wealthy people from the countryside outside the city, each of them acted as if they had never drunk before, drinking desperately, and kept running back and forth, just like a group of local monkeys.
But the result was good. After the banquet, both the powerful people in the city and the local powerful people outside the city patted their chests and promised that these soldiers would definitely go out, they must go out.
But there is a condition that after the war, their tribes must be incorporated into the Mou County pawn establishment, and they will still be led by their respective tribe generals.
After hearing this, Li Yi cursed in his heart.
These big guys want to dig into the walls of the county at this time. What they mean is to use the county's money and food to support these powerful people to support their clan soldiers. It's shameful, it's really shameful.
On the one hand, Li Yi lamented that there was no loyal person in the county, but on the other hand, he was too hasty to agree.
Finally, after drinking all the contents in the cup, Li Yi took a long breath:
