"So it is. Well, even if the imperial envoy promised the emperor, it is bound to completely destroy the Yellow bandit army. So we will take the first step. If the two generals straighten out the military affairs, it will not be late to catch up." Yang Chendong just pretended to be embarrassed. After a little hesitation, he agreed.
Yang Chendong agreed so happily that Ma Wei and Guan Ying were naturally delighted. In order to show their sincerity, they also sent some food from their army to the mercenary barracks, and then watched the mighty mercenaries leave Wuzhou Prefecture to pursue the Yellow bandit army.
"Hey, no matter what, the matter of Huang bandit army is solved. It won't be long before we can hand over the job to the emperor." Ma Wei said to himself. These words listened to Guan Ying's ears and made him feel much less remorse.
What they don't know is that all this is Yang Chendong's arrangement.
Zhu Fangyong's departure from the city is one of his plans. The reason for this is that he has a bigger goal, that is, to completely eat these yellow bandits.
The most indispensable thing for the development of chixian city and xiaoryukyu island is people.
Only with enough manpower can we do more things we want to do, expand the army and expand our strength.
It was with this in mind that Yang Chendong's strategy for the Yellow bandit army was not to destroy them at the beginning, but to make them prisoners.
Only when it comes to eagles and Ma Wei, a small number of captured troops may be able to abandon them as soldiers, but it is basically impossible for them to become their own prisoners and be sent to xiaoryukyu island.
In order to achieve this goal, the first thing to do is to consume the strength of the Ming army and let them take care of it flawlessly. In this way, he sent a letter to Zhu Fangyong to consume the effective strength of the Ming army in the form of war. With this, Zhu Fangyong can also send some of the Yellow bandits who disobey themselves and have a bad mentality to the battlefield one by one, and eradicate them by the hand of the Ming army.
Facts have proved that this plan is appropriate and successful. In the past few days, Zhu Fangyong has been trusted and empowered by Huang Yuliang. He took this opportunity to complete the purpose of eliminating dissidents, and finally sent some disobedient or real villains to the defensive battle of the city tower. Most people in the Yellow bandit Army today are those who are forced by life to join. They are not loyal to Prince Huang and have no sense of belonging to the Yellow bandit army. As long as the opportunity is appropriate, they may become a good people again. After arriving at xiaoryukyu Island, they may also become useful talents there.
After the smooth implementation of the plan, Yang Chendong took the mercenaries out of Wuzhou Prefecture and came straight to Gaozhou. Even when they left the city, they still took the thanks of Ma Wei and general Guan Ying.
In Yang Chendong's eyes, the more the better.
"Let the fast horse go to inform the battalion commander of wusheng. You can close the encirclement and lock the target." after issuing a secret order to Hu Mang, Yang Chendong, who was riding on the horse, looked back at the army in his hand. With the cold front Third Battalion and an auxiliary battalion brought by Kong Quanxin who came out of Mengzhu ridge, the team led by him grew stronger and stronger. Taking into account the temporary auxiliary troops recruited along the way, the total force has now increased to nearly 7000.
Perhaps 7000 troops are nothing in the eyes of others, but if these people are mercenaries, that kind of combat power is to meet an army of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, which also has the power of war, and there is a great chance of victory.
Following Zhu Fangyong's advice, Huang Yuliang sent his only heavenly king, general Ru Honghai, to raid Gaozhou Prefecture and occupy the habitat. Then he gave up the whole Wuzhou Prefecture, and then went straight to Gaozhou City in the southeast with most of the people in the city.
Huang Yuliang was puzzled by the fact that there were 40000 people in Wuzhou Prefecture. 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 Prefecture, when the remaining 50000 yellow bandits and 40000 people were walking on the official road, he had time to inquire about the reason and ordered someone to call Zhu Fangyong in front of him.
"General Zhu, you've worked hard this time. You're very good. I'm very satisfied. But why do you bring the people of Wuzhou Prefecture? Why can the general teach me?" first expressed his appreciation, and then Huang Yuliang asked the question in his heart.
"Childe, you've heard a lot. You must have heard that water can carry a boat and also overturn a boat. 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 time, you'll bring them with you. In addition, there are two benefits." Zhu Fangyong, who had been prepared for a long time, didn't bother to answer this question.
"There are two other benefits? What are they?" Huang Yuliang asked curiously.
"First, the childe doesn't forget to take the people out of the city. This is enough to prove that you have the people in your eyes and regard them as your own people. If this matter is publicized, won't the childe's good name spread to all directions? It's a way to buy people's hearts without money."
"Both of them, there are always some things that need manpower when marching in the army. For example, we can't do well in transporting food and grass, such as cooking and washing for soldiers. With these people, we have a lot of free labor. Why not? If we spare our hands, our soldiers can concentrate on their journey and better nourish their spirit Once they are in contact with the Ming army, they can give better play to their strength. Isn't it the best of both worlds? "
"General, we have robbed so many cities. Now there is no shortage of food and grass, and there is even surplus wealth. Isn't it a good thing that so many people can work for us with these surplus food and grass? When there is not enough food and grass in the future, we are trying to make them leave. At that time, no matter where these people go, they will think of the childe's kindness and want to eat and wear warm clothes with you. If that's true, once I know your news, who doesn't want to come to you? Why don't you worry about having no troops? The team won't grow? "
In a row, Zhu Fangyong said a lot. Every time he talks about something, Huang Yuliang feels a light in front of him. "Well, General Zhu is indeed a visionary. Why worry about the uncertainty of the world when he gets general Zhu? From now on, General Zhu will be one of the new four heavenly kings under my childe's seat."
Listening to this award, Zhu Fangyong was very grateful, but he still pretended to be grateful. "Thank you for your cultivation. Fang Yong will try his best to repay the childe's kindness."
"Ha ha, easy to say, easy to say." Huang Yuliang laughed and was happy that he had got such a loyal and capable subordinate. But I didn't know that from then on, his life had been held in other people's hands.
Zhu Fangyong became one of the official four heavenly kings, which made his power grow unprecedentedly. Many military leaders took the opportunity to congratulate him and expressed their loyalty to him. His influence in the Yellow bandit army is also growing. He can even decide many things in one word. He no longer needs to report to Huang Yuliang.
All this also gave more support to Zhu Fangyong's plan to complete the sixth young master.
......
Gaozhou Prefecture.
After the heavenly king ruhonghai occupied here in a surprise attack, he gradually became arrogant.
As one of the four old heavenly kings, Ru Honghai is not as brave as Geng Jun, nor as tall as Cui Yan, nor as familiar with water warfare as sun Jianglong. He can be a member of this heavenly king more by his obedient character.
If among the four heavenly kings, who reassures Huang Yuliang most is afraid that there is no one else except Ru Honghai, who is ugly and plain.
That is to say, he was lucky enough to live until now, and occupied Gaozhou prefecture to find a way back for the childe. It can be said that this skill is very great. There is also news in the army that once you wait for childe Huang to come to Gaozhou mansion, your general will jump and become the first of the four heavenly kings.
Such rumors inevitably spread to Ru Honghai's ears, which made him feel floating, and he had a feeling that he didn't pay attention to the heroes in the world.
Under arrogance, the defense of Gaozhou Prefecture became lax. Or Ru Honghai never thought that someone would start his idea. After all, according to the news from the scouts, there is no Ming army near Gaozhou Prefecture.
But in fact, there is a cold front team in Gaozhou City that can kill him. One of the leaders of this team is the 400 cold front led by Wu Sheng, battalion commander of the first battalion of the second cold front regiment.
In such a big city, the existence of 400 people, as long as they are fully prepared, can do without showing mountains and dew. Not to mention, these 400 people are all well-trained elite cold fronts who have specially studied camouflage.
The previous Gaozhou Prefecture was attacked by wusheng, which gave him enough time to hide. When Ru Honghai took the Yellow bandit army into the city, the auxiliary barracks retreated according to the plan, leaving only Shaozhou General Yu Guang with less than a thousand people to resist here for a while.
Effective resistance still exists, which strengthens Ru Honghai's belief that the Ming army is not as good as himself, and also creates enough opportunities for Wu Sheng to stay.
As the time when Ru Honghai's headquarters occupied Gaozhou Prefecture became longer and longer, the cold front camp brought by Wu Sheng was getting closer and closer to the start-up time.
"If the notice goes on, it's tonight." finally, when the spies of the Security Bureau sneaked into Gaozhou Prefecture and successfully connected with Wu Sheng, the above order was also delivered. Lengfeng camp is going to take action.
