I am Wu Dalang, starting with Pan Jinlian

Because it was time to go back to Kaifeng, all the soldiers in the army were elated, with smiles on their faces, thinking that they would see their family members soon.

Even the speed of distributing winter clothes has been accelerated a lot. What originally took more than half a day to complete, was distributed in less than half a day.

After Eunuch Wei announced his decree, he did not return to Kaifeng immediately. He meant to return with the army.

He is sitting in the reception room now, talking with Wu Fei and Yang Yanzhao.

"Report!"

A shout came from outside.

The three of them froze for a moment before Yang Yanzhao called out "Come in"!
The door curtain rattled, and several people came in one after another.

Wu Fei looked up and saw that he was the battalion commander of Feihu Battalion Cheetah Battalion Shenlang Battalion and Scorpio Battalion.

After the four stood still, they clasped their fists neatly.

"See General Yang and Eunuch Wei!"

"Okay, why did the four of you come here together? What's the matter?" Yang Yanzhao asked.

After the four of them looked at each other, Xue Dian, the battalion commander of Feihu Battalion, took a step forward and said.

"General, we are here, I want to ask, when will we leave for Kaifeng?"

"Is this what you mean?" Wu Fei interrupted.

"Um, it's what we all mean!" The remaining few people hurriedly expressed their opinions.

Hearing this, Wu Fei looked at Yang Yanzhao, and Eunuch Wei, and nodded to Yang Yanzhao.

Only then did Yang Yanzhao say: "We have already discussed it, let's forget about it today, and tomorrow morning, after breakfast, we will return to court."

Speaking of this, Yang Yanzhao paused for a while, and continued: "When you guys go back, pass on this order, and make a good handover with the local garrison in Daizhou."

"Yes!"

"Then go down!"

Seeing the four of them go out, there was a brief moment of calm in the room.

Another voice came from outside.

"Wu Jianjun, General Yang?"

When Wu Fei heard it, it seemed to be the voice of the magistrate Yang, so he responded.

Sure enough, Prefect Yang opened the curtain and walked in.

"Oh, Eunuch Wei is here too! I'm looking for a few people, let's walk around, I've already prepared some thin wine, just in time for Eunuch Wei!"

"How embarrassing is that!" Eunuch Wei stood up and replied with a smile.

"It should be, it should be!" Yang Zhifu said hastily.

When Wu Fei and Yang Yanzhao saw Zhifu Yang, they also stood up. Hearing his words, they knew that the meal would not escape.

"Eunuch Wei, let's go together, just in time for the prefect Yang to show his friendship as a landlord!"

"That's right! Let's go, the food is ready!" Yang Zhifu continued.

After the four of them finished talking, they walked towards the place where the prefect Yang hosted guests one after the other.

When they arrived at the place, the three made Eunuch Wei the host.

As the saying goes, "the prime minister's concierge is a third-rank official". After all, this Eunuch Wei is someone close to the emperor, so he must be a first-rank official!

After Eunuch Wei gave way a few times, he took advantage of the situation and sat down.

After Eunuch Wei sat down, the three sat down in order.

After the four sat down, the maid poured wine for everyone.

Prefect Yang waved his hand, indicating that she could go out.

Then, Prefect Yang began to toast Wei Eunuch.

After drinking for three rounds, Wu Fei told the news that the class teacher will return to court tomorrow.

Prefect Yang was not surprised at all, he had known the news for a long time, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Yang Zhifu stood up and bowed to Yang Yanzhao.

"General Yang, please save me!"

Yang Yanzhao was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up, supporting Yang Zhifu with both hands.

"Prefect Yang, what do you mean?"

Prefect Yang still maintained the posture of bowing down, neither spoke nor stood up straight.

Yang Yanzhao was very helpless, and said: "Wu Jianjun and Eunuch Wei are here, you get up first, get up and talk!"

Only then did Yang Zhifu straighten up and tell his difficulties, that is, the situation in Daizhou City.

It turned out that there were tens of thousands of frontier troops in Daizhou City, but during the siege of the city by the Liao army, the defenders in the city were killed or injured, and now only about one-third of the troops are left.

For Daizhou City, this amount of troops is not even enough to maintain the basic city defense.

Although Yang Zhifu did not lead the army to fight, he had studied the art of war.

He clearly knew that in a war, if the casualties of an army exceeded [-]%, that is, one-third, the army would be completely scrapped.

In other words, this army has completely lost its ability to fight, rather than a collapse in morale and no will to fight.

There are many examples of this in previous history books.

As for Daizhou City, from the siege of the Liao army to the repulsion of the Liao army, only one-third of the soldiers and horses were left in the end, which is far below this warning value.

Daizhou City can persist in not surrendering until Yang Yanzhao leads troops to rescue. Of course, the Liao army deliberately releases water and wants to surround the spot to fight for aid, but it can be said that this is a miracle!
In addition, Daizhou City is on the border of Song and Liao, and conflicts may occur at any time.

Although it is said that because of the snow, the Liao army ended the annual grass-grazing valley, but no one knows whether the Liao army will fight back after the spring.

If the Liao army really fights back, relying on the remaining soldiers and horses, Daizhou City can only surrender!
Hearing this, Yang Yanzhao felt in a dilemma.

Eunuch Wei's imperial decree clearly stated that he was asked to lead the soldiers back to Kaifeng, but Yang Zhifu here indicated that Daizhou City needed to replenish its troops.

Looking at the troubled Yang Yanzhao, Yang Zhifu's expression changed from hopeful to gloomy.

He knew that his request was reckless, but being in the position of Daizhou prefect made him have to speak out his request.

Yang Zhifu had no choice but to bow down again and salute Wu Fei and Eunuch Wei.

Wu Fei and Eunuch Wei also quickly stood up, took a step forward, and supported the magistrate Yang at the same time.

Wu Fei knew that he could no longer keep silent.

"Prefect Yang, we will definitely not sit idly by, everyone sit down first!"

After some pushback, the four of them sat down again.

"I have a proposal, let's see if it works," Wu Fei said.

"Wu Jianjun, please tell me!" The three of them expressed their opinions quickly.

"How about Yang Zhifu, you should hurry up and write a memorial at night, describing the situation of the state city in the Ming Dynasty. The three of us will sign the memorial as guarantor, and then expedite it with [-] miles to submit it to Kaifeng. The emperor will make a decision!"

"As for General Yang, I will call four battalion commanders in a while, choose one battalion, and stay in Daizhou City first, and make plans after the imperial court sends other soldiers and horses!"

After hearing this, the three of them felt that this was the only way to do it for now.

So, a banquet ended hastily like this.

Yang Zhifu was busy writing memorials, but Yang Yanzhao rushed to the barracks and summoned the four battalion commanders of Qi Feihu Camp, Cheetah Camp, Shenlang Camp and Scorpio Camp.
