Chapter 150 Divination
Yu Jin called all the key generals under General Yu Jin's command, ranging from Tun General to Shijiang, a total of fifty-four people. The ancestral hall of Taishan Prefecture was so crowded that no one could even move.
At this time, Yu Jin had been pulled aside by Yu Jin's guards, and the incense case was emptied, and the incense was already placed in the earthen stove on the case.
All the military academies were whispering to each other, not knowing what Yu Jin was going to do, and they were all looking forward to it.
Yu Jin, wearing a scarf headband and yellow clothes, said to the generals in the temple:
"I just received the military order from my headquarters, asking us to set out immediately to attack Mou County at night."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
"What, how is it possible?"
"Isn't Mou County behind us?"
"I just walked thirty miles during the day. Isn't it in vain? Let me tell you, we shouldn't have attacked Fenggao at that time. We could have gone directly to Mou County."
But there are also people with high consciousness who are trying hard to explain to their colleagues:
"The higher-ups can see from afar, so of course they have their reasons. Let's just do it."
But as soon as I said these words, people choked:
"Are you from above? That makes sense. Why can't you tell us? Don't you trust us?"
Just like that, both sides almost started to quarrel.
Yibo said that the higher-ups were just messing around and it meant nothing. He shouldn't have attacked Fenggao in the first place.
The other person said that if you stand high and see far, let’s not worry about it blindly. We can just do what we are told.
From here we can also see the difference between Yu Jin Department and Li Damu Department.
Although Li Damu's department did not have many orders and prohibitions, because the entire department's backbone generals were all new, and there were not many connections between the generals, when Li Damu gave orders with a straight face, the generals did not dare to There are two things to say.
But unlike Yu Jin, the main backbone of his team are all old thieves who originally wanted Qin Feng, and their bond with Yu Jin is particularly deep. The advantage of this is that he can control the entire army very well and has high combat effectiveness. But the disadvantage is that the generals have no fear of the ban and can say whatever they think.
Yu Jin was also reflecting in his heart. Although he originally expected that there might be a situation where the generals made noises, but when he actually encountered it, he couldn't help but feel pricked in his heart. He reflected on whether he had been too soft and too strong in the past. Should he have to let these people go? Know his Yu Wenze methods.
But this is all for later, now he is going to continue to perform.
Yu Jin waved his hand to interrupt the quarrel among the generals and raised his voice:
"Brothers, this is what matters now. My intention is to obey the military order, streamline the troops, equip the formation lightly, and drive directly to win the county."
After saying this, a team general said something strange:
"Yu Tou, even if we rush over there, we will end up losing our lives if we go there. If we run there, we will lose half our lives, let alone attack the city with a knife. We are all your children, we can't take it so lightly. Throw.”
Yu Jin's anger flashed when he said this, but he had a city after all, and he didn't want to cause trouble here, so he followed the man's words:
"I know what everyone means. It's not that you are afraid of walking on these night roads. We Shanliao, none of us have iron feet, how can we complain when we run for a while? Also, you are not my disciples, Yu Wenze, we are all Qu Kui's Brother.”
After saying this, Yu Jin glanced at the team member who had just come up to say something strange.
Then he continued:
"Everyone is worried about whether we can win this battle. To be honest, I'm not worried, because we are always invincible with Qu Qi leading us. But I know that many of you are afraid in your heart and don't dare. Okay, Then we will ask the gods and gods. If it works well, we will ask the gods in the ancestral hall of Taishan Prefecture to see if we can win this battle."
As soon as this statement came out, the generals were horrified. Can this Yujin communicate with ghosts and gods? Why haven't I seen him have this ability before?
Then I listened to Yu Jin continue to speak:
"After a while, I will pray to the Lord of Taishan Prefecture and ask about the fate of this battle. I have a hundred copper coins here. When I finish praying, I will scatter them on the ground. If they are all positive, it is the Lord of Taishan Prefecture who has revealed his holiness and told us Good luck with this battle.”
After saying that, just as he was about to pray, Zhang Da, the general over there, grabbed Yu Jin's sleeve and said anxiously:
"General, please don't do this. If it doesn't work, all the generals will be frustrated. Not to mention fighting, even running at night will lose half of your people. Don't do this."
After hearing this, Yu Jin smiled, waved his hand to Zhang Da, and then pointed to himself, meaning you believe me.
Of course Zhang Da believed in Yu Jin, but even if he didn't believe in him, he also believed in Qu Kui's vision of promoting Yu Jin all the way. Therefore, seeing Yu Jin's vow, Zhang Da could only let go of the letter with suspicion and wait to see what Yu Jin would do.
Yu Jin held the incense and prayed for a while, then put the incense in the clay stove. The incense curled up to the clay sculpture of the Taishan Mansion King, as if he was communicating something.
Then Yu Jin took a wooden box from the guard and threw all the copper coins in the box to the ground.
Crash, crash, the copper coins were scattered all over the floor.
Then all the generals rushed forward and exclaimed loudly:
"The Lord of Taishan Prefecture has shown his holiness, and this battle will be auspicious."
"This battle must be won!" "We must win!"
This time, a group of generals rose up and fought enthusiastically. Most of them were from Taishan, and they believed in the Lord of Taishan Prefecture the most. Now that the gods have manifested themselves, what else is left to say about this battle.
beat!
Seeing that his morale was ready, Yu Jin continued his efforts, and immediately asked several soldiers to pull some wooden boards and cover them on these magical copper coins. Four or five strong men with hammers came up next to them, and they nailed the wooden boards to death with a clang. on the ground.
Yu Jin and the generals said:
"These copper coins are already the property of Fujun, and we cannot touch them. I will cover them here, and then when we return with a great victory, we will come to this ancestral hall to worship Taishan Fujun. Come, everyone, join me in worshiping Fujun. ”
After saying that, Yu Jin turned around, faced the clay sculpture of the Taishan Mansion King, gathered his clothes and bowed before him.
All the generals behind him followed Yu Jin's example and bowed respectfully to the clay statue.
Not long after, all the generals came out of the temple in excitement and went back to their respective departments, telling all the generals that the battle would be won by the help of gods and ghosts.
In less than a moment, Yu Jinbu was rushing towards Mou County.
——
Forty miles is now a half-marathon, and regular runners need to run for an hour. This is still a situation in which modern people's nutritional physique and professional training are very high.
One thing to say is that Zhang Chong's strategy is good, and he has understood the true and false of the military strategist, but after all, people cannot always expect to get things done by stimulating their mental strength. Sometimes they still have to pay attention to the real material basis.
Around the time of Yinshi, Zhang Chong arrived at Mou County one after another with his headquarters and Zhang Dan's three right-wing lieutenants. They traveled for three hours.
At this time, the situation of each ministry has been sent to Zhang Chong. It can be said that half of the troops who have actually arrived are not there. The situation here is different in each department.
For example, Li Damu's troops had a total strength of 400, which was actually 136, which was equivalent to two-thirds of the laggards. However, Li Damu explained that they selected 136 elite soldiers and set out overnight. In fact, they were 136. Arriving at full capacity. Let's talk about the Dianwei tribe. The number of troops is 420, but the actual number is 200, half of which is behind. Finally, Yu Jinbu was the best, with a total troop strength of 400, and the actual number of soldiers was 320, with only 80 left behind.
As for Zhang Chong's headquarters, that is what they should do.
From here we can also see the situation of each department. For example, Li Damu and Yu Jinbu are both old camp leaders and have many veterans. The situation of veterans is not only that their fighting will and skills are better than those of new recruits, but the most important thing is that their physical fitness is stronger than that of new recruits.
Before joining the Taishan Army, the Shanliao people were all starved of food and were as lean as firewood. They had no strength or fat to run for a long time. But after entering Taishan, with enough millet tubes, oil and water, and sufficient training, he became stronger and stronger. Therefore, the earlier you join Taishan Fang, the better your physical condition will be.
Seeing the situation of various ministries, Yang Chong knew roughly that there were more than a thousand soldiers rushing outside Mou County at this moment.
It's okay, just use these thousand people to destroy Mou County.
After that, Zhang Chong asked all the troops to rest, and asked the baggage soldiers to distribute coarse salt to each soldier and let them drink it mixed with the cooked water in the gourd to replenish their physical strength.
Finally, he ordered that an hour later, at Mao hour, when it was first light, the entire army would launch a general attack on Mou County.
At this moment, Mou County was unconscious and there was no sound in the dark night.
——
But in fact Mou County is not ignorant. At least for some people, this night was restless and sleepless.
In the Mou County Government Office, the lights were brightly lit at the moment, and servants were constantly ordered to carry wine and meat into the hall. At this time, the county captain and Cao Changzheng entertained all the powerful people in the county. Not only the powerful people in the city, but also the local powerful people outside the city were invited into the city.
This banquet started at Youshi, went on all night, and has not stopped until now.
Some of the chiefs were old and couldn't hold on any longer, but when they saw the red-eyed county lieutenant constantly exchanging cups with various wealthy families, they all had no choice but to hold on.
The county captain of Mou County is a local, named Li Yi. He didn't want to drink either, but what could he do if he didn't drink? If these wealthy families didn't feel comfortable drinking, how could they get them to agree to send soldiers?
On the first day of the day, when the Mou County soldiers who had followed the county magistrate Zhang He into battle fled back to the city in a panic, the county captain Li Yi was completely stunned.
The county magistrate died, and so did the battalion general Ren Ba. After seven hundred soldiers left the county, only thirty more defeated soldiers came back, and then he also killed those defeated soldiers.
Those defeated soldiers kept saying nothing, but they all died. It was so miserable. The whole county was in panic, so they had no choice but to use the heads of some county soldiers to stabilize people's hearts.
It's easy to kill, but Mou County really has no soldiers at this time. Li Yi summoned all the patrolmen and managed to gather a hundred people. With this small number of people, they can only stand on one side of the city wall.
He had no choice but to shamelessly make an appointment with the wealthy families in the city and ask them to help send troops to defend the city. After all, they had a share in guarding the country and bringing peace to the people. Then there was a big banquet, and the drinking was so intense that even Li Yi spat into his saliva three times, and those people were still drinking. Especially those wealthy people from outside the city, all of them acted as if they had never drunk before. They drank desperately and kept running back and forth, just like a group of local monkeys.
But the result was good. After the banquet, both the powerful people in the city and the local powerful people outside the city patted their chests and promised that these soldiers would definitely go out, they must go out.
But there is a condition that after the war, their tribes must be incorporated into the Mou County pawn establishment, and they will still be led by their respective tribe generals.
After hearing this, Li Yi cursed in his heart.
These rats are still trying to dig into the walls of the county. What they mean is to use the county's money and food to support these powerful people to support their clan soldiers. Shameful, really shameful.
On the one hand, Li Yi lamented that there was no loyal person in the county, but on the other hand, he agreed in a hurry.
Finally, after drinking all the contents in the cup, Li Yi took a long breath:
"Finally, Mou County was saved."
