"Yes," Shi Heng said with empathy, "Those people in Kyoto are already afraid of the powerful Yang Chendong. Especially after the previous defeat, some people are as timid as mice. They keep telling the emperor not to provoke the king of Wunan. What else do they say? So far, the king of Wunan has not shown any behavior unfavorable to Daming. It's really ridiculous to think about it. They don't do it, but it's because of too much Many goals need to be conquered, but they can't spare time. "
"Yes, those scholars who can only dance civil, military and ink are basically harming the country." Fang Dingshan said with deep sympathy. He also didn't agree with these people. What king Wunan still had a bright heart and didn't dare to talk about the Ming sword and gun. In his opinion, it was farting. Yang Chendong didn't do it now because he thought the time was not yet right. Once you really wanted to do it, you were afraid that the autumn wind would sweep away the fallen leaves and there would be no one to stop it?
"The literati are harming the country." Shi Heng also sighed. After seeing that Fang Dingshan's anger was aroused, he suddenly said, "because of this, we can't watch this sort of thing happen, let alone watch the five-star army. We dare not say in other places. At least we can't allow this kind of thing to happen in our territory."
"Oh? Lord Hou is ready to do it?" Fang Dingshan also heard the meaning of the words and asked with some excitement.
"Yes, we should do it. We can't watch the grain and grass of the five-star army pass in front of Dalu city every day without doing anything." Shi Heng said with awe inspiring righteousness.
Fang Dingshan nodded in agreement, but soon shook his head, "but the Emperor didn't make an order."
This purpose refers to the intention to openly fight with the five-star army. In other words, Beiming has become much more honest since the defeat of the attack on Shicheng. At least he is no longer an enemy of the five-star army. In the words of those literary ministers, even if the king of Wunan is so belligerent, he has to fight others. As long as he doesn't find trouble with Beiming, let it develop. There are no swords on the battlefield Once Yang Chendong dies on the battlefield, the so-called five-star army will collapse. At that time, the northern Ming Dynasty is sending troops to fight against him, so he will be able to do his best in one battle.
After all, this is ostrich psychology.
Since they can't beat others, they put their hope on others. In line with the idea of being a monk one day, anyway, the five-star army didn't take the initiative to provoke the northern Ming army, so they shouldn't do it. If everyone is safe, they can live a few days first.
Yang Chendong needs to conquer the grassland, conquer the Yibaili area, and increase the influence and depth of the five-star army. If the northern Ming Dynasty is noisy at this time, it will be inconvenient, which gives Xu Youzhen a way to make the northern Ming army obey the order of the army.
Now it seems that the effect is good. At least some civil servants believe it, and Zhu Qiyu, the emperor of the northern Ming Dynasty, did the same. But Shi Heng, who asked for food and grass and was given a joke, was a little angry. He decided to move and fight with the five-star Army to find each other's trouble.
"It doesn't matter. If the emperor doesn't give a true order, then we don't have to use our own names and pretend to be bandits and grassland remnants. I have thought about it. We break up into parts and attack the opponent's logistics supply route with a small army, so that we don't have to worry about being blamed after the incident, we can train troops and plunder some food and grass for our use. It's really one stroke The more Shi Heng said, the more excited he seemed, as if countless benefits were waiting for him.
At this moment, Fang Dingshan's eyes became brighter and brighter. Pretending to be bandits and the forces opposing the five-star army on the grassland to attack, this is really a good move, so you don't have to worry about the emperor's reprimand. However, it's wonderful to turn a small victory into a big victory when there are many wars. Excited, he stood up and said, "it's so good, I'll arrange it now."
"Well, general Fang has worked hard. But remember not to send too many troops at a time. After all, there are no major forces against the five-star army in this area." Shi Heng warned carefully. Another purpose of what he said was to send a small number of cavalry at one time. Even if one of them failed or was destroyed by the whole army, it would not affect the overall situation of Tieqi in Liaodong.
Fang Dingshan nodded again and again. Then they discussed for a long time and discussed some specific issues about sending troops. Finally, both sides felt that there was no problem, and then they looked at each other and laughed.
......
Under the protection of a five-star army of more than 100 soldiers, a grain and grass escorting more than 10 mules and carriages went from Shicheng to Shajing city.
Two hundred people of different nationalities, men and women, young and old, walked with this team. They either took care of their families, or walked around the side of the carriage with the help of their mother and daughter. Looking carefully, everyone's eyes showed their longing for a better future.
The two hundred people have obtained the identity certificate issued by the logistics headquarters. After they go to the new place, they can receive ten mu of grain and grass and a corresponding farming tool according to their head, and can also be assigned to the living house and a sum of money enough to settle down in their eyes.
The future will also be their new starting point. As long as they are willing to work hard and pay, with food, grass and money, life will not be beautiful. Although they have to stay away from their hometown, they are nothing compared with stable life and prosperity?
Two hundred people even talked and laughed along the way. Although they all came from different nationalities and regions, they are likely to live together in the future. They are also getting familiar with each other slowly along the way.
For the performance of the people, the soldiers of the one hundred and five-star army did not do anything to stop them. It has long been said that as long as the people are obedient, they should give convenience all the way. After all, the food needed by the army will depend on these people in the future. It is said that there is something wrong with their parents, but it is not too much to say that they depend on each other.
In this way, the people help drive mules, horses and cars. When the road is easy to go, they will sit on the car and rest for a while. From time to time, when there is a water source, the army and people will stop to draw water and interact, which is a picture of harmony.
But all this beauty ended with a sudden rumble on the earth. As a captain, company commander Bian bin pulled out his saber when he heard the rumbling sound, and then shouted, "soldiers prepare for war, and the people hide next to the carriage."
It's no wonder Bian bin is so nervous. He walks in this area, because it's still far from Shicheng or Shajing City, so bandits often haunt this area. Although it is said that relying on the strong name of the five-star army, ordinary people do not dare to trouble them casually, there are some outlaws among them, and there are still people who stand tall and take risks.
Based on the idea that there is no big mistake in villains, Bian bin gathered the soldiers together. Among them, 50 soldiers have war horses. At this time, they have sharpened their knives with the company commander and are always ready to deal with emergencies.
But the people are not so nervous. They are all nations conquered by the five-star army. They have seen the strength of the five-star army and don't think anyone dares to challenge the authority of the five-star army. Therefore, even if they hear the rumble of war horses on the ground, some people still look at their necks and look forward to see who is so bold, Then I watched these people appear and leave in dismay.
The five-star flag was blowing on the breeze, standing on the mule carriage like a command flag, which also proved the identity of the supply convoy to the outside world.
Many times, the appearance of the five-star flag is like a huge and irresistible city wall, which makes some bandits forget and flinch. After all, the strength of the five-star army is so strong that many small tribes that have not yet been obedient can not produce any resistance. This is also the biggest reliance and confidence in the eyes of the people.
"Report, there is a Mongolian bandit with two hundred horses ahead. They are coming to us quickly, and the distance is less than five miles." the reconnaissance cavalry in charge of security in front rushed back, shouting loudly as they rushed back.
"Meng bandit?" Bian Bin's face became a little ugly when he heard the name. The so-called Mongolian bandits refer to those small Mongolian troops who refuse to obey. They are often small in number and not strong in combat power. They will avoid them when facing the five-star army, but once they meet the five-star army, they will attack suddenly like a mad dog. In this way, the Mongolian bandits who can't be killed and killed are the most troublesome thing.
I didn't expect to meet you here today. Bian bin felt a headache. At the same time, he quickly began to arrange the array. Fifty cavalry soldiers were ready to fight with sabers in hand, and fifty infantry soldiers also took out bows and arrows and prepared for long-range shooting.
Bian bin just wanted to warn those hoodlums who made up their mind in what way. He was not easy to mess with. We hope that we can scare off each other in this way, keep them away from themselves and avoid a possible disaster.
Bian bin was a little nervous, but he didn't show a penny on his face. Instead, he said with a very confident tone to the soldiers under his opponent and the people next to the carriage: "don't worry, even if the bandits come, they won't do it easily. The price they have to pay for these more than ten carts of food and grass is not in direct proportion to what they get."
Everyone just thought that it was the real Mongolian bandits who came, and that was the idea of more than a dozen carts of grain and grass, but they didn't know that this time they came not the Mongolian bandits, but the strong Liaodong iron cavalry. Beiming spent a lot of money to build a strong army.
