Chapter VII Setting up another camp
He walked into the temporary camp with a dark face. Li Fusheng, Gong Liu, Tie Yong, Mao Weisheng, and Qian Bijun came to greet him and said hello, all frightened by his expression. Zhou Shixiong waved his hand casually, walked directly into the big tent in the middle of the camp, sat down at the main seat and waited for a few subordinates to come in.
Li Fusheng is worthy of being a slight and a sensation from outside the tent. He greeted several mistresses and future mistresses. By the way, he mentioned what happened to the head of the family? You Min didn't hide it from him and said Zhou Shixiong's concerns. Li Fusheng was sweating in a cold sweat. He was just a great scholar. He only knew written knowledge about mountains, rivers and geography. He only considered where people could live, and only considered whether they were spacious enough. Then he would think of these things.
The other craftsmen had few enemies in their respective fields, but marching and setting up formations to observe the terrain was not their expertise. Even the river engineer Mao Weisheng did not take this into consideration, so no one else had to ask. With heavy steps, several people walked into the tent with difficulty, as if they could never get out again after going.
"Maohegong, will this situation happen when I said?" Zhou Shixiong and others sat down, explained their views again, and then began to ask questions separately. Mao Weisheng, the first one, was named, immediately stood up and lowered his head and said, "It is very likely that the adults' guess is that the small ones also saw traces of water flowing in the valley, but they didn't take it to their hearts. Please punish him." Taking the initiative to admit his mistakes is a good idea, and the other people immediately had the urge to learn about Mao Weisheng's eye-catching practice.
"This is not your fault. I went back before I saw the valley last time. I thought the land on the ridge was assigned to me by the Yellow Tusi. If I say it wrong, my fault is the biggest." Zhou Shixiong asked Mao Weisheng to sit down, and a thought came to his mind, "All-round talents are worthy of being treasures. These people here are already top figures in all aspects, but their ability to look at the overall situation is too different. Who can help me handle these matters?"
"Resurrection, have people sent to see outside the valley? This valley has abundant water but no water is stored. There should be a small plain outside." The water flow hits the rocks, mud and sand on the gentle slope to form a plain. This is common sense for modern people, so Zhou Shixiong made a prediction with certainty.
"Sir, there is a convergence of two mountain streams to the west of the valley, forming a small river flowing out of the valley. The place where the valley is out of the valley is a waterfall. The two mountain walls are very steep, so I did not send anyone out of the valley to check it out. Please punish me." Learning and applying it well is a good tube. Li Fusheng honestly explained the problem, and then actively asked for punishment to carry forward Mao Weisheng's old plan.
"Well, Zhou Ren came in a while and asked him to take people to see him. Those servants couldn't do such things." Zhou Shixiong did not punish people to eliminate their worries, and ignored the little tricks of the two subordinates. He asked Li Fusheng to take him to patrol the camp and see how the preparations were completed.
That night, Zhou Er led the guards to complete the exploration mission and reported to Zhou Shixiong, "There is a plain thirty miles from the valley, and a big river is blocking it more than ten miles ahead. I saw that there was a grain field across the river, so I didn't cross the river."
Zhou Shixiong asked someone to find a guide and asked about the situation nearby. Although the guide had not walked through the exit of the valley, he knew that the river outside was Zuojiang, and opposite the river was the territory of the Daiyi tribe, and had attacked Guqinzhai many times.
"I understand, Huangtusi is good at plotting. If I settle here, it is equivalent to helping Guqinzhai become the vanguard. If the Daiyi tribe comes to loot, I will be the first to be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the
The more Li Fusheng and his men thought about it, the more frightened they became. Why did the Huangtusi look so kind and so vicious? You Min and Shimazu Nan were frightened, but they didn't know how to comfort their husband. Zhu Ying said angrily, "This Huangtusi is extremely hateful. The young master copied him with the imperial envoy's flag!"
"You will shout to fight and kill, don't disturb the young master's thoughts." Shang Yueqing was quiet. Although he was a supervisor in the garrison like Zhu Ying, Zhu Ying robbed Zhou's active military training every day, which was equivalent to Shang Yueqing being responsible for supervising military discipline alone. The Jinyiwei in the garrison was afraid of this serious female supervisor. Even Zhu Ying had to give Shang Yueqing face because he owed a lot of favors. As a result, after a long time, except for You Min who could take care of Zhu Ying, only Shang Yueqing could restrain her.
"I'm right, that old man dares to plot against the young master, and it's light to cheat his house!" He said ruthlessly, but his voice became much smaller. The power of habit was too scared.
"This valley is a treasure land, but it is not enough to live in it. Zhou Er, tomorrow you will take people to continue exploring the way and find a passage to the plain outside the valley. Since no one wants it there, I want it!" After Zhu Ying's reminder, Zhou Shixiong suddenly remembered that he was an imperial envoy. He was rare to be domineering and put the plain that he didn't know who he belonged to into his pocket.
Since Zhou Shixiong decided to follow, everyone started to get busy. Zhou Er took three days to finally find a mountain road that could barely be walked. In order to make meritorious contributions, the subordinates made various means to come out. In 10 days, they drove a road from the valley to the plain. They took another ten days to transport the materials from the valley to the plain and prepare to start building a camp.
There was a smoky mess on the river, and of course the Daiyi tribe opposite the river would not be invisible. Nong Xiaogao, the leader of the Daiyi tribe in Langsan, quickly summoned the tribe members to discuss countermeasures. Nong Xiaozhi, the younger brother Nong Xiaozhi, was eighteen years old this year. He was in full swing. When he heard that the Huangdongman actually dared to leave Zhennan Pass and go to Zuojiang to open up wasteland and build a village, he immediately jumped up to lead his troops to attack.
"Sit down, my dad named you Xiaozhi. I hope you can learn from the wisdom of my Zu Zhigao. You are so rough and so bad. How can I feel at ease to hand over Guangyuanjun to you?" Nong Xiaogao is more than ten years older than his younger brother. Although he is usually happy and looks like a good man, he gets angry and becomes a tiger and turns a bobcat. He sits down obediently and dares not explode the thorns.
"Great Elder, I wonder what you think about this?" The second uncle Nong Dezhong, who is efficient, is the oldest person in the clan. According to the rules of the Dai tribe, who is the oldest, who is the wise. As long as you can still speak, no one will compete with you for the position of this great elder.
"Class leader, it may be a good idea to let Hutou go on a trip, but how to do it and how to achieve it requires the patriarch to grasp the degree." The old man Nong Dezhong said, then closed his eyes as if he was asleep. Nong Xiaogao knew that the elder didn't want to give him any advice, so he had to send Nong Dezhong home.
"Xiaozhi, you bring a thousand Guangyuan troops across the river, five hundred people guarding the ships, and five hundred people go to rush to kill each other. If the opponent resists fiercely, don't retreat immediately. If the opponent disperses, don't chase and burn the camp. Remember?!" Nong Xiaogao led his troops to plunder Guqinzhai many times. If the defenders from Zhennan Pass had not helped, Huang Chenghui's Guqinzhai would have changed his name long ago.
Although the name of the Guangyuan Army of the Daiyi tribe is scary, it is actually just a name given to commemorate the great hero of their clan, Nong Zhigao, and is also a disciple of the clan. Don’t forget the glory of the ancestors. Speaking of the true level, the Guangyuan Army of the Daiyi tribe is not even as powerful as the combat power of the Xiangzhou Wolf Army. It is considered a militia with a large number of people. The reason why he plundered Guqinzhai many times and fought Huang Chenghui was just because the number of the Xiangzhou Wolf Army was small and the road was rugged and ineffective rescue.
If the two sides set up a battle to fight, the one thousand to one thousand Guangyuan troops would definitely be wiped out. If both sides tried their best, the two thousand wolf army would probably not be able to eat more than five thousand Guangyuan troops. After all, the total strength of the Guangyuan army is all the young and strong in Langsan Taiyi tribe, and the number of people is more than that of the Pingxiangzhou wolf army.
Regardless of the past, the reality has created the psychological advantage of Guangyuan's army over the wolf army. Nong Xiaozhi doesn't think that the elder brother only gave him one thousand people and was inappropriate to attack the camp of more than two thousand people.
"Young Master, dozens of ships have gathered across the river, as if they are going to transport troops." On the first day of September, Zhou Shixiong was holding a meeting in the new camp to listen to reports from various managers. Zhou Er rushed in and shouted.
"How many Jinyiwei are there in the camp?"
“One Hundred and Fifty.”
“How many horses are there in the camp?”
"In addition to the three horses brought by the young master, there are about fifty slow horses driving." Zhou Shixiong was not clear about this question, so Zhou Hou, who was in charge of logistics, quickly stood up and answered.
"You lead fifty people to ride horses on the shore to monitor the enemy situation. If you find any discovery, you will send someone back to report it." Zhou Er took the order to leave. Zhou Shixiong looked at the subordinates present, and finally turned helplessly to look behind him, "Zhu Ying, you lead the 100 Jinyiwei to arrange a defensive formation in the camp, and Zhou Hou assisted." Zhou Shixiong found that there was no one around him who could lead the troops, and handed over the command to Zhu Ying without a choice.
Zhu Ying didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to lead troops to fight. He knelt on one knee and saluted loudly, "Abide by the general's order." Then he asked Zhou Hou to help.
Li Fusheng wanted to speak out, but at the moment, there was no one in the new camp who had experience in leading troops, so he had to agree with Zhou Shixiong's arrangement. "Gong Dajiang, Tie Dajiang, you bring all the craftsmen back to the craft camp and do your best to make baffles for the elephants. Alas, I still lack experience, and I didn't even bring a bed crossbow!" This time, the construction of the new camp was built. I thought it would be started in my territory. Zhou Shixiong had never thought about the small bed crossbow used to bring elephants. Now when encountering changes, he could only choose the most primitive heavy elephant formation. Zhou Shixiong was very upset. This was a chaotic time in the late Ming Dynasty, not a peaceful era, so why was he so careless?
"Young Master, what can the Hound Team do?" Li Zhenhe whispered to Zhou Shixiong for a fight. Zhou Shixiong then remembered that Li Zhenhe's dog legs followed, which should have some effect.
"Zhenhe, you take the hunting dog team to the Jiangzuo camp. When the elephant has installed the baffle, you will follow the elephant formation to protect the flanks of the Elephant formation." In the absence of the enemy's situation, Zhou Shixiong can only make as much preparation as possible. If ten thousand people are sent to attack on the other side, Zhou Shixiong can only bring people back to the Jiangzuo camp to defend.
