Come to Daming with military supplies

If anything, Liu De didn't say it directly.But Zhu Qizhen had already heard it.If the matter of conferring the king cannot be passed by Beiming, Yang Chendong must be very angry. This is a good opportunity to drive them apart. The benefit of the fisherman.

Thinking that if Yang Chendong and Beiming come to a loss, it will be an opportunity for Nanming to rise up, so he immediately said with great joy: "Liu Aiqing is worthy of being the humerus of a minister, well, everything will be done according to Aiqing's will, Cao Jixiang , draw up an order for me"

Originally, I was still having a headache and wanted to seal a king with a different surname. This is selling my ancestors.Even if one day, I become stronger again and take everything back, but who knows how this matter will be recorded in the history books, and will future generations scold me?

But according to Liu De's words, the bad thing turned into a good thing. He didn't need to pay anything to solve the problem and set up a strong enemy for Beiming. Such a clever plan made him very satisfied .

Zhu Qizhen was satisfied, and several important ministers were naturally free to leave.

Liu De walked among the few people, and he could clearly see that Wang Zuo, Shangshu of the household department, looked at him with some disdain.

Everyone knows that Yang Chendong saved Wang Zuo's life on the battlefield.A while ago, Yang Chendong and Liu De had a quarrel over the matter of the Hangzhou prefect's incompetence, which is well known to all.From this point of view alone, the two already disliked each other a bit.

However, this is not the main problem.The main thing is that what Liu De said today is clearly plotting against Yang Chendong.Although there are only a few important ministers here, today's conversation must be included in the history books. Presumably Zhu Qizhen will be the first to tell the story, so that future generations will not put such calculations on their heads superior.In this way, Liu De's plot against Yang Chendong will naturally spread out in a short time. At that time, will Liu De be spared with his loyal and courageous character?

That's why Wang Zuo looked at him with a hint of disdain.In his mind, he should make good use of Yang Chendong, understand him with affection, move him with reason, and don't worry that he is not owned by the imperial court and does not do his best for Nanming.After all, from the perspective of Wang Zuo, Yang Chendong was still a courtier of Ming Dynasty after all, and it was just a coincidence that he got to know the mercenary.

But if it was calculated by others like this, it would be a different matter, and the consequences would be very serious.

Wang Zuo looked at Liu De with complicated eyes, even with disdain, but someone also looked at him with eyes full of gratitude, and that was Chen Xun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Just now, if Liu De hadn't spoken out in time, he would either have left a handle in the history books and be criticized by others, or he would have been hated by the emperor. I don't know what will happen to him.And Liu Dezhi's words saved his life at a critical moment.

"Thank you Brother Liu." Chen Xun said with a grateful expression.

While he was speaking, Xiao Yi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and Jiang Yuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, also came over.

Liu De is very good at being a man. Among the six books, he united three, namely Chen Xun, Xiao Yi and Jiang Yuan.Originally, he wanted to draw the capital censor, Shang Lu, into their camp, but the position of the censor is too important, and he has the responsibility of supervising all officials. Such a position is destined to prevent him from participating in other people's camps, otherwise , will definitely be suspected by the emperor, and it is not far from stepping down or even being punished.

In other words, among the six ministries, apart from Kuang Ye Shangshu of the Ministry of War and Wang Zuo Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, the other four ministers have already huddled together.Coincidentally, these four ministers have no close relationship with Yang Chendong. On the contrary, because of Liu De, there is still some estrangement between them.

Everyone saw the scene that happened just now, the scene where Liu De rescued Chen Xun at a critical moment, both Xiao Yi and Jiang Yuan saw it.They are all in admiration for Liu De's ability to make shots without fear or fear and not remembering his reputation. Now coming here is to express their goodwill.

Liu De naturally noticed the approach of these two people, and at the moment he felt hesitant, so he said with a chuckle: "Brother Chen, we are originally one body. That's what I should do."

"Okay, well said." Both Xiao Yi and Jiang Yuan kept nodding their heads, expressing their appreciation.Because of this incident, the friendship between the four seems to be closer.It can be seen that with them around, Yang Chendong's wish to be crowned king may be very difficult.

The mercenary barracks outside Gaozhou Prefecture.

Five days have passed since Miao Jun passed through here.And at noon that day, news came from the Lengfeng scouts, saying that [-] Miao troops had turned back.It is estimated that in the evening, it is likely to pass by the Lengfeng Barracks.

When the news came back, many people in Leng Feng's barracks were gearing up, looking like they were about to show off their skills.Now they just hope that the Miao army can attack the mercenaries in a feverish manner, and give them a chance to act immediately.

As Yang Chendong expected, General Zhang Zeng, who was leading the team on the way back, had been thinking about whether to attack the mercenaries.

Originally, he vowed to kill Leizhou Mansion, thinking of breaking through there and making great contributions.But I never thought that when I went there, what I saw was an empty city.Not only that, but you can't see anything that is considered valuable in the city.

This is returning in vain.This made Zhang Zeng, who finally got the job, feel depressed.Thinking of the fact that the Miao army has been sweeping all the way since the day of the incident, as if entering an uninhabited land, but when encountering the enemy, it is like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves. It has never been like this time. Haven't gained anything?I must have gone back like this, I am afraid that other colleagues will laugh at me.

"No, absolutely can't just go back like this." Zhang Zeng said in his heart.But if you want to return with great success, it seems that you can only choose to attack the mercenaries.

"Hmph, don't trust Zou Xiucai's words completely. He was originally a Han Chinese, a commoner of Ming Dynasty. Who knows what he thinks in his heart." Before deciding to act, Zhang Zeng persuaded himself in his heart, and then sent out scouts, Let them check the situation of the mercenary barracks on the grounds of going back to report the letter.

To say that Zhang Zeng was considered careful, at least he knew to observe the situation before making a move.In this way, the scouts sent by the newspaper passed the mercenary barracks openly, and headed for the Miao army base camp under the Gaozhou government.

Originally, the defense of the Lengfeng Barracks had always been very strict, and usually soldiers from each squad could be seen coming back to patrol.But after using the night to plant mines outside the barracks, he naturally relaxed a lot.This time, in order to lure the enemy to attack, he intentionally loosened the outside and tightened the inside.But wherever outsiders can see, the soldiers are very lazy, but in the depths of the barracks where no one can see, the training is still very strict.

In this way, the Miao army scouts who seemed to be passing by here but were actually investigating the situation were fooled and reported the performance of the mercenary barracks to Zhang Zeng.

Zhang Zeng was overjoyed when he heard that the mercenaries were so careless. He thought that this was a chance for him to make great achievements.Immediately, he took his cronies to the Miao army camp and told them that he wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack the mercenaries, and he also listed his reasons, that is, the mercenaries were frivolous and careless, and it was time to eat and severely injure them.

The confidant Kuai Ma passed by the mercenary barracks again, after some observation, he found that the report of the scout was correct, so he went to the Miao army camp under the city, met the king Miao Jinlong, and told his general's plan.

"A raid on the mercenary barracks?" Hearing the report from the visitor, Miao Jinlong, who was seated at the top, suddenly regained his spirits, but when he repeated these words, he did not forget to look at Zou Xiucai, the most powerful man in the camp. people of culture.

Zou De was listening with his ears up.To say that he does have his own cleverness, when he heard the report from the scouts that General Zhang Zeng led his troops to Leizhou Mansion and returned without success, he expected that the road back would be uneven.

Now that he heard such words from the cronies sent back by Zhang Zeng, he sighed in his heart.

Zou De would not believe the so-called scouts who said that the mercenary barracks were loose and the soldiers were lazy and had no morale.

Chapter 434 The Bold Zhang Zeng (Fourth Update)

Now that the yellow bandit army, which was a headache for Nanming, could be wiped out in just over a month, how could such an army be as miserable as it was said.And if this is the case, it can only prove that the other party has ulterior motives, or that they are simply putting on a show and waiting for others to attack.

It's just that although he thought of these things in his heart, Zou De did not intend to refuse to fight.The strength of the mercenary army is useless just by talking about it.Maybe only if he hit a snag and suffered a loss, others would be able to believe his words.

This is the truth of the so-called gaining wisdom by eating a ditch.When Miao Jinlong looked at it, he didn't resolutely object, but said: "Your Majesty, the mercenaries shouldn't be as unbearable as they appear, I'm afraid it's a fraud."

"Is there fraud? The news says that they only have more than 7000 people, and General Zhang Zeng's army has 8 people. In addition, we have [-] troops. What if there is fraud?" Miao Jinlong saw Zou De seemed to have a peaceful attitude, so he tried to persuade him.

Zou De just expressed his opinion and expressed his thoughts.Even if others don't believe it, what can he do for it, he doesn't say anything right now, and pretends that I won't change my opinion, and you can figure it out.

So when Miao Jinlong asked for the second time, he naturally didn't speak any more.

Even Zou De was silent, and Miao Jinlong thought his idea of ​​stealing camp was very good.After all, if the mercenaries can be captured in one battle, then the Gaozhou Mansion standing in front of him will undoubtedly be destroyed. He has made great achievements along the way, and then he can go directly to the Guangzhou Mansion, so as to control and occupy the entire territory of Guangdong purpose.

With an idea in mind, and no one stood up to object, Miao Jinlong immediately waved his hand and said to the soldiers sent by Zhang Zeng: "Tell your general that you choose to attack the mercenaries tonight. Those who send troops to support you will also divide their troops to keep an eye on the Gaozhou government, so they will not be able to help you later."

Yang Chendong was still in the camp talking with the eldest wife Hu Yan and the third wife Xue Niangzi. For him, chatting with his wife in his free time was the greatest spiritual relaxation.

"Report." Humang's voice came from outside the tent.

"Come in." Yang Chendong straightened his body, he knew that something might have changed in the battle situation, otherwise, Humang wouldn't come to disturb him at this time.

Yang Chendong guessed right, Humang came here to talk about the change of the Miao army. "Master, the [-] Miao troops who were returning to the team suddenly slowed down. I have calculated with someone. According to their current speed, it will probably be midnight when they reach our barracks."

"Slow down?" Yang Chendong couldn't help laughing when he heard this sudden or logical change.

That day, Yang Chendong saw Miao Jun walking past his barracks in a very lonely way, and thought that this army was too arrogant, and that there might be some thoughts of lack of human support, so he ordered the scouts to keep an eye on them, At the same time, prepare well in the barracks.

But all of this is just a guess, a feeling, or an inference based on experience.It's not a real fact, but with Humang's information, it's completely different.

As we all know, once the troops who are out of the camp set foot on the return journey, the soldiers are eager to return home, and the speed will only be fast and not slow.Just like this Wanmiao army, the idea of ​​returning to the base camp must be very strong. In this way, their speed should be very fast.Don't say that you should rush back to the base camp before dinner, even if it is later, the speed will be more or less advanced.How could it be possible to postpone it all of a sudden, and it was only in the middle of the night that he could come to the side of his barracks?

If this is the case, wouldn't it be better to have a good night's rest and return to camp early tomorrow morning.From this point of view alone, the opponent's combat intentions have been revealed.

"How about the base camp of the Miao Army?" Yang Chendong asked cautiously.

"Reporting to the young master, the scouts who monitored the report reported nothing unexpected. It seems that everything is normal." Humang replied truthfully.

Is everything ok?snort!That is the most abnormal. If you think about it, if the army really returns to the camp, does the base camp need to make some preparations? Seeing that the enemy is on the side, it is very reasonable to send troops to meet them.But they were born to do nothing, which has already revealed their purpose. "After Yang Chendong analyzed the battle situation, he gave a very positive answer.

Originally, Humang didn't understand why normal was abnormal, but when he heard Yang Chendong's analysis, he couldn't help but be amazed that the young master is indeed the young master. He said such things in the strategy class before, but why didn't he have the first time? Think of these for a while?

"Okay, since this is the case, if there is no accident, Miao Jun will definitely come to steal the camp tonight, and the time should not be late at night, it will be earlier, hum! If that is the case, then we will make pockets , Just wait for them to come, there is no reason not to eat the fat in your mouth." Yang Chendong had a confident smile on his face.

Looking at this scene, in the eyes of Hu Yan and Xue Niangzi, there are little stars in the eyes of the two women.
