Chapter 311 The night before the storm (four thousand words chapter!)(1/2)
Faced with Jiang Chong's question, Xing Dalin did not speak immediately, but silently calculated Jiang Chong's strength in his heart.
Jiang Chong now has 2,000 cavalry, and his brother Jiang Yuan has more than 1,000 people, totaling more than 3,000 people!
Once the fifteen thousand taels of silver arrive, it will not be a problem to expand the army to five thousand troops with Jiang Chong's reputation.
Although the five thousand men and horses are not as good as originally planned, they are still a force that cannot be underestimated. If used properly, this will be the sharpest dagger stabbing into the heart of Zhen Sanshan...
Thinking of this, Xing Dalin immediately whispered to Jiang Chong:
"In one month's time, Ji Qiwei, the general of the Ping Kou army under the Governor's command, will lead 30,000 troops to the Posu Mansion. With these 30,000 men intimidated, Zhensanshan will not dare to kill generals before the battle, lest everyone in the army be in danger.
, when the time comes, if Zhen Sanshan sends you to fight, you will rebel before the battle and catch him off guard!"
"If Zhensanshan doesn't send you to fight, you will find a way to burn Zhensanshan's granary in Baihu Mountain, disrupt Zhensanshan's rear, and create opportunities for our army to fight decisively!"
Listening to Xing Dalin's arrangements, Jiang Chong frowned slightly. Xing Dalin's plan seemed to be very good. It seemed to take both aspects into consideration. It could be used to attack or retreat, and it could be defended.
But based on Jiang Chong's understanding of Zhen Sanshan, Zhen Sanshan can step by step from an ordinary green forest bandit to the position of the leader of the green forest. He has never lacked courage!
If Song Wenhui's army suppresses the territory, it is very likely that Zhensanshan will make up his mind to eliminate internal troubles and use his own head to sacrifice the flag!
Realizing this, Jiang Chong's expression turned serious. Noticing the change in Jiang Chong's expression, Xing Dalin asked impatiently:
"Master Jiang, do you have any questions?"
Hearing this, Jiang Chong originally wanted to express his hidden worries, but sensing the impatience in Xing Dalin's tone, he thought for a while and replied instead:
"I know what to do!"
Hearing this answer, Xing Dalin was somewhat satisfied. After eating and drinking, he confirmed with Jiang Chong that the delivery time of the first batch of deeds would be the first to leave Liu Ji Restaurant.
Looking at Xing Dalin's leaving figure, Jiang Chong's face gradually became gloomy...
The reason why he didn't tell Xing Dalin was actually very simple, because even if he did, it would be of no use.
Rat ends.
At this point, he could only take one step at a time. If that didn't work, he would have to take his troops and run to Yanjiang County to avoid the limelight. These days, he has finally figured out that father has mother.
Yes, it’s better to have it yourself! To be reliable, you have to be your own brother!
The only good news now is that Song Wenhui sent 20,000 more people than the originally planned 10,000 people.
With Ji Qiwei's 30,000 men and horses restraining him from the front, as long as he ran to Yanjiang County, the three mountains of Liang Town would not dare to divide their troops to pursue him!

Fengzhou, Xinfa County.
Thousands of Khitan cavalry went to the county city to besiege the city and shoot at it. Arrows fell like raindrops for a while. Everyone on the city wall was in danger. From time to time, someone was hit by arrows, and screams could not be heard.
Since Wang Mu and his party arrived at Xinfa County in Xiangshuiyuan two days ago, the Khitan people in the Songmo area also heard about it and launched an attack on Xinfa County.
Fortunately, Yuan Song had already received the news in advance and made arrangements, so although the current situation in Xinfa County looks miserable, the actual losses are not huge.
However, the only thing that Yuan Song did not expect was that when the war came, Wang Muzhi always insisted on going to the front line in person, and even asked his men to join the battle to jointly fight against the Khitans. Yuan Song persuaded Wang Muzhi with hard words, but he
He was also forced to agree to Wang Muzhi's request to visit the front line in person.
Seeing the Khitan arrows becoming more and more intensive, Yuan Song came to the center of the city wall and stood there. Wang Muzhi, who was dressed in military uniform, cupped his hands and asked tentatively;
"Sir Wang, the bandits are attacking fiercely. Do you think you are..."
Wang Muzhi, with a stern expression, glanced at the Khitan people who were gradually attacking outside the city wall, then looked at Yuan Song and said coldly:
"Commander Yuan, what are you talking about?"
"The soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty are not afraid of death. How can I, a general, be afraid of death?"
"The Khitan people haven't made the arrow that killed me, Wang Muzhi!"
As soon as Wang Muzhi said these words, Yuan Song couldn't help but respect him even though he was in a different camp...
Although Yuan Song, who was born in the Longxiang Forbidden Army, had already heard about Wang Muzhi's great reputation in the army, he had never seen him in person before, so he was still a little skeptical about the rumors.
But now that I have witnessed Wang Muzhi's behavior with my own eyes, I understand that there is no real person behind this famous reputation!
After being rejected, Yuan Song confessed his crime to Wang Muzhi, and then ordered his soldiers to resist the Khitan siege. In this way, the Khitan attacked for two hours, and Wang Muzhi stayed on the wall for two hours.
At that time, after the Khitan people called for gold and retreated their troops, Wang Muzhi walked down from the city wall and returned to his residence in the city.
When Wang Muzhi returned to the room, before he could get any news, he saw the man in black robe sitting on a chair and asked him:
"How are the Khitans doing?"
Seeing that the man in black robe entered his room without his consent, Wang Muzhi frowned slightly, but for the sake of the overall situation, he didn't say much and answered the man in black robe's inquiry in a deep voice.
"The Khitans lacked siege equipment, so their offensive was mainly based on suppression with bows and arrows. It seemed that they just wanted to prevent the soldiers in the county from leaving the city, and then they looted the countryside...
·”
Hearing Wang Muzhi's narration, a smile appeared on the face of the man in black robe. Wang Muzhi, who was already disgusted with him, thought that the man in black robe was expressing disdain for his own opinions, so he couldn't help but asked with some annoyance:
"what are you laughing at?"
"Xiao Ye Mingsheng is really willing to spend money to let the Khitan people perform this play so realistically that it blinds you, General Wang!" The man in black robe said calmly:
"What are you talking about? What drama is Ye Mingsheng playing?" Wang Muzhi said with some confusion:
"These Khitan people were hired by Ye Mingsheng with money, just to make General Wang think that Fengzhou is unable to send troops under the attack of the Khitan people!" The man in black robe said very calmly. Although his tone was very calm, he didn't know.
Why did this man in black robes have a complex emotion in his eyes when he said this?
There is disappointment, regret, and a trace of regret in this emotion...
Wang Muzhi was undoubtedly shocked when he heard what the man in black robe said. Although he knew that Ye Mingsheng, who was self-reliant and self-reliant, would not easily send troops to support Changqing Mansion, he never expected that Ye Mingsheng would do this.
If what the person in front of me said is correct, then Ye Mingsheng colluded with the Khitan and disobeyed orders. This is a serious crime against the Yi tribe!
Although he didn't believe that Ye Mingsheng, the commander-in-chief of one side, would actually collude with the Khitans, when he thought of the identity of the man in front of him, Wang Muzhi couldn't help but believe it!
After thinking about it, Wang Muzhi asked the man in black robe for confirmation:
"Do you have any evidence?"
"evidence?"
"We will leave for Fengzhou City tomorrow. Ask Ye Mingsheng yourself!" The man in black robe shook his head and said with a smile:
"Leaving tomorrow? There are all Khitans outside!" Wang Muzhi frowned and asked:
"They will retreat tonight!" The man in black robe said calmly:
"How do you know?" A look of surprise appeared on Wang Muzhi's face.
"Since Ye Mingsheng can let them come, then I can naturally let them leave!"
The man in black robe still said calmly. Although his voice was calm, it was full of unquestionable confidence...

Toyoshu General Military Mansion, early morning
"Is Cui Dakai here?"
After eating a few mouthfuls of millet porridge, Ye Mingsheng seemed to remember something and asked Pei Zhixiu next to him:
"He came here at noon yesterday and spent a long time with the old lady. She was in a good mood when she saw him coming." Pei Zhixiu nodded lightly and replied:
During the recent period, Ye Cui had some minor health problems, probably due to the cold weather and wind chill. So to be on the safe side, Ye Mingsheng asked Pei Zhixiu to take care of Ye Cui's condition.
Although Bae Ji-soo is not as considerate as Geun-ok, who was born as a personal maid, but because she has good emotional intelligence and behaves well-behaved and sensible in front of the old lady, she is quite popular with the Ye Cui family.
Hearing Pei Zhixiu's story, Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly. This Cui Dakai was not without merit. At least he could make his mother happy. With this advantage, he was justified in letting him go...
····
Looking at Ye Mingsheng who was drinking millet porridge, Pei Zhixiu hesitated and said softly:
"Cui Dakai seems to be very curious, why did you find him, my husband? He was always making innuendo when I went there..."
Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng had a smile on his face, looked at Pei Zhixiu and said with interest:
"Then how did you tell him?"
"I just said I didn't know. I've never been interested in the swordplay between you men!" Pei Zhixiu shook his head and said:
Seeing this, Ye Ming slightly frowned. For Pei Zhixiu, maybe hanging a pot to save the world and rescuing the wounded is the best thing for her, and it is also something that gives her a sense of accomplishment.
After having breakfast with Ye Mingsheng, Pei Zhixiu got on the carriage of the General Military Mansion and went to work in her medical clinic. Ye Mingsheng wandered around in the garden, did some exercise, and then returned to his home.
study room, ready to start his first day of work.
As soon as he sat down in the study, Ye Mingsheng saw a letter marked with three black dots on his desk...
Seeing the letter appear, although Ye Mingsheng had not yet opened it to check the contents, his expression was already serious!
In order to make his work more efficient, Ye Mingsheng will let his subordinates grade the matters reported by them and mark them with black dots. Three black dots are the highest and one black dot is the lowest. Ye Mingsheng will also give priority according to the classification.
Deal with things with many black spots.
