Come to Daming with military supplies

What an army is most afraid of is acting without a goal. Such an army is like a headless chicken, destined to go wrong.This shows how important a correct direction is.

Zhu Fangyong's plan has already been secretly agreed in his heart, but Huang Yuliang still needs to ask more detailed questions about some things. "Well, General Zhu, let's get up first. You just said that you can let Ru Tian Wangyun find a new corner, but do you have any plans?"

"If you come back to my son, there is a plan. If possible, you can ask Ru Tianwang to lead troops to the vicinity of Gaozhou Mansion. The land is sparsely populated, the land is large, and there are no important towns around. It is beneficial for us to move around there. Once the time is right, we can raise the banner again and raise a strong army." Zhu Fangyong, who had been prepared for a long time, spoke out the plan in one breath.

"Gaozhou Mansion?" Hearing this location, Huang Yuliang hurriedly looked for it on the map, and then said with a suspicious expression, "Isn't there also a Ming army in Gaozhou Mansion? It was there that King Sun Jianglong was defeated before."

"That's right, it's right there. But just like what you said, you wouldn't expect us to go there, presumably the Ming army would never have expected it even more. Surprise, this in itself coincides with the art of war, and we have a chance to appear there unexpectedly , it is precisely because it is not far from the sea, once things cannot be violated, we can go into the sea and escape far away, so Nanming, who has banned the sea, will have nothing to do with us, and at that time, we will be able to leap into the sea." Zhu Fangyong nodded heavily, with a confident expression.

"Surprise, surprise." Huang Yuliang muttered silently, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he slammed his fist on the desk, "Okay, let's do a surprise and kill the generals. In this way, Zhu The general’s suggestion just now is correct, my son is right, let you handle the city defense? You will also handle those generals who have two minds, and at the same time, you will also arrange for King Ru to attack Gaozhou secretly. I hope nothing will disappoint me. Otherwise, you know the consequences."

The so-called not letting him down is because the failure of Zhu Fangyong's strategy of attacking everywhere not only greatly reduced the strength of the Yellow Bandit Army, but also caused the death or disappearance of the two kings such as Sun Jianglong and Cui Yan.This time he listened to Zhu Fangyong's plan again, if something went wrong, then he had to wonder what this person was up to.

Zhu Fangyong is so smart, he must have known the hidden meaning of Huang Yuliang's words, he clasped his fists and said: "The general is willing to guarantee his life, as long as Ru Tianwang acts strictly, once he suddenly appears under the Gaozhou Prefecture, he will definitely capture it. unstoppable."

"Okay, haha, then I will borrow General Zhu's good words." Huang Yuliang's laughter sounded in the lobby, as if he was in a good mood at this moment.

Huang Yuliang believed in Zhu Fangyong again, even though he knew it would be risky to do so, but other than that, he didn't have any better way to deal with the situation, so he might as well try again.Of course, he didn't completely trust Zhu Fangyong, but he arranged a team of personal soldiers to follow him and watch his every move. If he found anything wrong, he might be killed.

Regarding the matter of someone staring at him, Zhu Fangyong didn't show any complaints.On the contrary, he entertained these people with delicious food and drinks, and brought them with him when he did anything, showing that he was innocent and not afraid of investigation.

After gaining Huang Yuliang's superficial trust, Zhu Fangyong began to do things in a big way.He first arrested some generals in the yellow bandit army who were uncertain about fighting, and then relieved them of their military power, and transferred their subordinates to use for him.At the same time, the military defense of the city defense has been strengthened, which is a sign of a deadly confrontation with the Ming army.

Zhu Fangyong's transfers were well planned and his preparations were orderly, which caused the Ming army to encounter a lot of trouble in the next few sieges.Both sides fought fiercely above and below the city, resulting in many casualties. In the end, Wuzhou Mansion was saved and the Ming army was not allowed to enter the city.

After the city was defended, Huang Yuliang was naturally satisfied with Zhu Fangyong.Just at this time, another news came from Ru Tianwang, they followed Zhu Fangyong's suggestion, they suddenly appeared under the Gaozhou City, and they took over the city again without much effort.In this way, it is tantamount to finding a new retreat for the Yellow Bandit Army.After hearing the news, Huang Yuliang was overjoyed, and looked up to Zhu Fangyong even more.

With the capture of Gaozhou, the Huang bandit army had a way to retreat, so Huang Yuliang began to make arrangements to withdraw from Wuzhou Prefecture.For this reason, he called Zhu Fangyong again and asked him for advice.

After Zhu Fangyong entered the lobby with a bloody and murderous look, there was already a seat waiting for him. According to Huang Yuliang's intention, after this battle, when he settled down again, Zhu Fangyong would be promoted to one of the four heavenly kings.

"Thank you for your promotion, my lord." Zhu Fangyong expressed gratitude.

"Haha, Fang Yong don't need to be angry. Now can you tell us how we will exit safely?" Huang Yuliang smiled.

"Yes, son. The general thinks so"

Under the city of Wuzhou.

Guan Ying and Ma Wei rode tiredly on their horses, looked at the Wuzhou Mansion, which had been invincible for a long time, and at the corpses all over the battlefield, with doubts and regrets on their faces.

They really couldn't figure out why Wuzhou City, which seemed to be floating in people's minds, almost broke the city in the first attack, but after they launched several violent attacks, it still stood firm. Let them lose their soldiers and lose their generals. Not to mention that the prisoners of the Yellow Bandits who were originally recruited died in battle, even the original [-] Ming army also lost nearly [-] men and horses, or did they not capture the city?

After seven or eight siege battles, there were originally more than 2000 soldiers including the captured army, but now, there are not even [-] troops.Most of them were injured, and this result was unacceptable to Guan Ying and Ma Wei.

The latter, in particular, has ordered the siege to be stopped.

Ma Wei is the commander of Guangdong Guard.Whether it is a so-called general or a commanding envoy, he must first have soldiers at his feet before he can exercise his power.But now, Lao Ben is almost exhausted, so it is no wonder that he suddenly ordered to stop the siege.

Guan Ying was very puzzled by this matter, and even got into a fight with Ma Wei because of it.In his words, his side suffered a lot of losses and pressure, and the Huang Bandit army was equally uncomfortable. Now it depends on who can persevere. Maybe if there is a violent attack on the city, they can take down the city tower and Wuzhou mansion up.

Ma Wei naturally shook his head and disagreed with Guan Ying's statement.Not to mention anything else, even if Wuzhou Mansion was captured, it would be difficult for him to achieve any major events with this amount of troops in his hands. Even if there are not enough manpower to guard the prisoners, how can we talk about defending the city?

Ma Wei happily rejected Guan Ying's attempt to attack the city again, and prepared to recuperate, waiting for the self-strife in Wuzhou city to benefit as the imperial envoy said.

It's just that the abacus had just been prepared, when something unexpected happened, the city gate of Wuzhou Mansion suddenly opened wide, and then thousands of people rushed out armed with various weapons, rushing into the unprepared Ming army camp.

All of this happened suddenly, completely beyond their expectations.Unprepared, he was caught off guard by the Yellow bandit army. In the barracks, many wounded soldiers were killed. Even Guan Ying was entangled because he couldn't retreat in time, and a knife wound was added to his body.

Fortunately, the mercenaries were dispatched at a critical moment.They shot and killed the Yellow bandit army from a long distance with [-] in their hands, and then thousands of auxiliary soldiers and temporary auxiliary soldiers suddenly shot out.Under the powerful momentum, the morale of the Yellow bandit army was quickly disintegrated, and they were defeated in the Ming army camp.

After the bandits who left the city were killed or captured, the mercenaries went straight to Huanglong and rushed to Wuzhou City.What is unexpected is that it went smoothly. Except for the flags planted by some yellow bandits on the tower, all the yellow bandits disappeared, and even the people in the city were coerced away. Mostly.

The nearly empty Wuzhou Mansion was taken down so easily, but obviously Yang Chendong was not satisfied, he called Guan Ying and Ma Wei to talk about continuing to pursue.

"Now that the Yellow Bandit Army has lost Wuzhou Mansion, they will have no place to stand. This is a good opportunity to hunt them down. Otherwise, once they find a new place and continue to develop, it may not take long. It will rise again, and it will become a confidant of the imperial court."

Facing Yang Chendong's righteous words, Guan Ying and Ma Wei lowered their heads.Why didn't the two of them understand this truth?It's just that they have only a thousand generals at the moment, and even the hundreds under Pingle General He Sheng's are less than two thousand. With this, it is still possible to defend Wuzhou Mansion and calm the situation here. If you are thinking about chasing someone, you really have more than enough energy but not enough energy.

The two did not speak, Yang Chendong pretended not to understand and asked, "What? But do the two generals have any opinions?"

"No, no. It's just that we have been severely wounded by storming Wuzhou City for several days. Now that we are running out of troops, it is time to rectify it. There is really no energy left to chase the yellow bandits. I am afraid that this important task will still fall on the hiring Army and Imperial Envoy." Ma Wei and Guan Ying said everything with pleading expressions on their faces.

Chapter 396 Believe what you say

"So that's the case. Well, even if the imperial envoy agrees to the emperor, the Yellow Bandit Army will definitely be wiped out completely. In this way, we will be one step ahead. If the two generals have rectified their military affairs, it will not be too late to catch up." "Yang Chendong just pretended to be difficult and hesitated for a while, then agreed straight away.

Yang Chendong agreed so happily, which naturally made Ma Wei and Guan Ying very happy.In order to show their sincerity, they also sent some food from their own army to the barracks of the mercenaries, and then watched the mighty mercenaries leave Wuzhou Mansion to chase the Huang bandits.

"Hey, no matter what, the matter of the Yellow Bandit Army is settled, and we will be able to report to the emperor in a short time." Ma Wei said to himself, these words were heard by Guan Ying, and it also made him Feeling less guilty.

What the two of them didn't know was that all of this was Yang Chendong's arrangement.

Zhu Fangyong's action to leave the city was one of his plans.The reason for doing this is because he has a bigger goal, which is to completely eat up these yellow bandits.

The most indispensable thing for the development of Chixian City and Xiaoliuqiu Island is people.

Only with enough manpower can we do more things we want to do, expand the army and expand our own strength.

It was precisely because of this that Yang Chendong's strategy for the Yellow Bandit Army was not to destroy them at the beginning, but to make them captives.

It's just about Ying and Mawei, it may be possible for a small number of captives to abandon them as soldiers, but it is basically impossible for them to become their own captives and sent to Xiaoliuqiu Island.

In order to achieve this goal, the first thing to do is to consume the strength of the Ming army and make them flawless.In this way, he sent a letter to Zhu Fangyong, asking him to consume the vital strength of the Ming army by means of war.In this way, Zhu Fangyong can also send some of the yellow bandit army who disobeyed him and those who have a bad mentality to the battlefield one by one, and use the hands of the Ming army to eradicate them.

Facts have proved that this plan is suitable and even more successful.During these days of defending the city, Zhu Fangyong has received Huang Yuliang's trust and decentralization. He took this opportunity to successfully complete the purpose of eliminating dissidents, and finally sent some disobedient or real villains to the defense of the tower. .Most of the current Yellow Bandit Army are those who are forced to join by life. They are not loyal to Mr. Huang, and have no sense of belonging to the Yellow Bandit Army. As long as the opportunity is right, they may become a good citizen again. After arriving on Xiaoliuqiu Island, he may become a useful talent there.

After the plan was successfully implemented, Yang Chendong generously led the mercenaries out of Wuzhou Mansion and headed straight for Gaozhou.Even when they left the city, they still carried Ma Wei and General Guan Ying's thanks.

In Yang Chendong's eyes, it is better to have more benefits and more kindness from others.

"Let Kuaima inform Battalion Commander Wu Sheng that the encirclement can be closed and the target locked." After issuing a secret order to Humang, Yang Chendong, who was riding on the horse, turned around and glanced at the army in his hand. After the third battalion of Lengfeng and an auxiliary battalion led by Kong Quanxin came out, the team he led grew stronger and stronger.Counting the temporary auxiliary soldiers recruited along the way, the total force has now increased to nearly 7000.

Perhaps an army of [-] is nothing in the eyes of others, but if these people are mercenaries, that kind of combat power is that an army of tens of thousands or even [-] is also capable of fighting, and there are still many The odds are high that you will win.

Huang Yuliang followed Zhu Fangyong's suggestion, and first sent his only heavenly king, General Ru Honghai, to surprise Gaozhou Mansion. After occupying the habitat, he gave up the entire Wuzhou Mansion, and then led most of the people in the city to Gaozhou in the southeast. away from the city.

Huang Yuliang was a little puzzled at this point as he brought [-] people in Wuzhou Mansion.It was only because Zhu Fangyong's method of responding to the enemy was very timely that he didn't ask further.Now that he was out of Wuzhou Mansion, when the remaining [-] Huang bandits and [-] civilians were walking on the official road, he had time to find out the reason and ordered Zhu Fangyong to be called in front of him.

"General Zhu, you have worked hard this time. You are very good. I am very satisfied, but why did you bring the people of Wuzhou Mansion with you? Why did the general teach me?" First he expressed his appreciation, and then Huang Yuliang said Asked the question from the bottom of my heart.

"My lord, you have a lot of knowledge. You must have heard the truth that water can carry a boat and overturn it. If you want to change the world, you must first get the support of the people, because they are the cornerstone of a country. This is the intention to bring them along once, and there are two other benefits that can be seen." Zhu Fangyong, who had been prepared for a long time, answered this question without any effort.

"There are two other benefits? What are they?" Huang Yuliang regained his energy and asked curiously.

"One, you did not forget to take the people with you when you left the city. This is enough to prove that there are people in your eyes, and you regard them as your own. If this matter gets out, won't it spread your reputation to the world? Is it? This is a way to buy people's hearts without spending money."

"Both, there are always some things that need manpower when the army is marching. For example, transporting food and grass, such as cooking and washing for soldiers, our elders can't do well. With these people, it is equivalent to With a lot of free labor, why not do it? By freeing up our hands, our soldiers can concentrate on their journey, and can better nourish their energy. Once they fight the Ming army, they will be able to Wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds if they used their strength well?”
