Chapter 1176

Xu Yuan left rongshao and went straight to the residence of Kong Zhi, the commander of the first riding division of the new second army in Shajing city.

In the Confucius Mansion, Kong Zhi was surprised to learn that Xu Yuan was going to see him outside the mansion. He couldn't understand why the other party came to see him at this time. "Well, as soon as I came, I invited him in."

In the reception hall of the mansion, Kong Zhi and Xu Yuan sat opposite each other, and other personal guards were evacuated outside the hall, which was also Xu Yuan's request. After all, he came to ask for people. He said some soft words in front of so many people. Not only did he lose face, but he was more afraid of not coming down.

Without others, Xu Yuan didn't want any face and directly asked for it. "Mr. Kong, I've offended you a lot before. It's not my idea to send people to monitor your house. I don't send those who stir up discord in the division. I've protested to Lord Rong Shao about this. He has promised that all these people will be transferred back. I hope it won't affect our friendship because of this."

As soon as he came up, Xu Yuan was so low, which shocked Kong Zhi.

It's nothing to say about the people who monitor themselves. He doesn't intend to make any small moves when the time is not right, but those villains who sow discord really give him a headache and spread adverse remarks about himself in the division. At first, it was OK. With his usual behavior, everyone didn't believe those words. But some things are afraid of repetition. If you talk too much, it will inevitably be believed. Over time, some people in the division really moved their minds, but they just didn't have enough evidence. In addition, Rong Shao ordered this thing behind his back. Even if he wanted to do it, he didn't have a suitable opportunity.

Originally, I wanted to continue like this. One day, when the army needs to be used, can he regain command? I don't think Xu Yuan has solved these problems and worries, which is a surprise.

Of course, if someone has done such a big thing for you, he must have asked for it from himself. Kong Zhicai doesn't believe in the good thing of losing pie in the world. So although he was happy in his heart, he pretended to be calm and said, "Mr. Xu, we are not outsiders. Let's be frank. What price do I have to pay?"

"Division chief Kong is really quick. Well, everything is going well in the military action against Shicheng. He can take it there in a few days. Considering the problem of maintaining security there in the future, governor Shi Heng ordered us to send 20000 troops from the new second army to help."

The task given is 40000 people. Rongshao has 20000 soldiers. Now there is only 20000 vacancies left, which hit the new second army. With the strength of the new second army, there are four divisions. If one division can send 5000 troops, the number will be all together.

Hearing that the city would soon be broken, Kong Zhi's heart obviously beat frequently and began to speed up. If Shicheng is really captured, when can he return to the five-star army? Fortunately, Xu Yuan's words let Kong Zhi breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, he also saw the other party's real intention, that is, the soldiers on the front line of the northern Ming Dynasty are not enough, and the attack on Shicheng must also be in difficulty. Otherwise, they would not come to beg for themselves.

Knowing the target of the other party, Kong Zhi put down his heart and began to pick up the handle, "Mr. Xu, you must remember the agreement signed between the junzuo and you. The first one is that we can't be the enemy of the five-star army. We are forced to surrender. We have been very sorry to the king of Wunan. How can we be the enemy without conscience? We really can't do such a thing."

Xu Yuan showed such an expression that he knew the other party would say so, and then smiled and said: "Mr. Kong, you misunderstood me. Didn't I just say that? These troops are not going to fight against the five-star army, but are only responsible for the task of guarding the city when Shicheng is broken in the future. You know, even if there are no five-star army, Warsaw cavalry and Mongolian cavalry of various tribes on the grassland, they are not so easy to deal with. Shicheng is such a big city in front of us If we don't have enough troops to defend, we will face the risk of loss at any time. "

The reason given by Xu Yuan is very appropriate, which makes Kong Zhi unable to find a reason to refute. But they have only more than 8000 teachers. They have transferred 5000 at once, and their strength is more than half weak. This is not what he wants to see.

It is certainly a good thing to remove those who monitor themselves and spread rumors in the army, but Kong Zhi needs to consider how to agree to each other's requirements without being sad and moving bones.

He didn't speak for a long time. Looking at Xu Yuan on one side, he asked anxiously, "Mr. Kong, you should give me a word. Lord Rong Shao is still waiting for news."

"Well, it's not good for a division to transfer 5000 people." Kong Zhi had a general consideration in his mind in a short time and finally spoke.

This mouth immediately did not attract Xu Yuan's unhappiness, "Mr. Kong, what do you mean? I just said, we don't want to be enemies with the five-star army, we..."

"Wait, Mr. Xu, and wait for me to say something. You just said, these troops rushed to the beginning city not to fight against the five star army, but to take over any defensive city after that. That's the case. You can see that this is not OK. I gave you two thousand people from the teacher, and then you collected three thousand soldiers in the city, so you didn't add up to five thousand. Did you? The advantage of this is that it can not affect the combat capability of our new second army, but also help you complete the task. Besides, it's just a task of guarding the city. It's not difficult. Even if you don't have any training, you can do well, don't you think? "

Kong Zhi took the best of both worlds. He must ensure the combat effectiveness of the first division. The organizational system can be incomplete, but he can pull and fight when there is a task, so he had to come up with this plan.

Originally, Xu Yuan wanted to say no, but when he heard this method, his attitude became a little hesitant.

Without a word of rejection, there was a door. Kong Zhi added a fire and said, "Mr. Xu, why does Beiming attach so much importance to us? Isn't it because our army has a certain combat effectiveness? If we don't have this characteristic, who will attach importance to us? It must be the time to step down and kill the donkey at that time. In that case, we will come to no good end, and Mr. Xu will not be too happy. The army is the most factional , one hero has three helpers. "

Kong Zhi said these words completely from the perspective of Xu Yuan, which made Xu Yuan finally make up his mind. "Yes, Master Kong is worthy of being a great general with both wisdom and courage. You're right. In this way, I'll talk to Lord Rong Shao now. Oh, by the way, please make preparations for a regiment of 2000 people sent by your first riding division."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I'll arrange it now." Kong Zhi thought that some people in the division are dissatisfied with themselves, and some are simply the disseminators of rumors. These people don't know how to deal with it. Now they have the opportunity to get rid of them, so as to better control the army.

Xu Yuan left in a hurry. I don't know how he told Rong Shao. Anyway, the matter was settled. Then the recruitment began in the two cities.

It's not for the people's five-star army. The people's enthusiasm for joining the army is not high. In the end, there is no way. The recruitment has become to catch strong men. Who makes Shi Heng so anxious? Rong Shao, who is trying to show, must do things well. Not only that, he also decided to go to Shicheng in person and curry favor with Shi Heng.

......

Shichengxia.

The siege continues.

Since Shi Heng and Fang Dingshan made a military order, under the command of Cen Guang, the attack became more and more fierce. Several times, their soldiers rushed to the city tower. Although they were finally suppressed, they at least saw the dawn of victory.

The siege is very lively. The Wara army camp under the city is extremely quiet. This siege method is not suitable for cavalry. It is said that they have stayed under the city for a long time, and some cavalry are even lazy.

But all this changed with the return of several Wara cavalry. They were the Wara warriors who followed general he Lei. Fortunately, they escaped back. Naturally, they wanted to return to the barracks and report everything they saw and experienced to the leader.

In fact, it was not just these people who came back. There were hundreds of cavalry waiting there not far from the barracks. Everyone heard Shi Wanshan's cry and learned that Beiming had allied with the five-star army. They were worried that they would scare the snake if they came back, so they sent several representatives back to the barracks.

In the chief's big tent, he also received these deserters first. After learning that he Lei died and that 100000 cavalry just escaped back for hundreds of rides, he angrily turned over the book case in front of him and said angrily, "you say that the reason why we were defeated is that the northern Ming army stabbed us behind us, didn't you?"

"Yes, chief. This is what we have seen and experienced. Otherwise, with our fast horses, even if there are many enemies, we can't leave us." several soldiers who escaped knelt down and kowtowed.

"Good, good, good! What a northern Ming army! I believe them so much that I dare to play tricks behind us. I'll go to find Shi Heng and ask him to give me an explanation." those who are angry can't suppress their anger first. They drink so much that they will pay the bill.

"No way." a figure stopped in front, and then the man fell to his knees with a plop, "leader, never. That is, the northern Ming Dynasty and the five-star army have been united. Now we go to them to argue. Not only will it not have the slightest effect, but it will scare the snake. If we don't do it well, they will be unfavorable to the leader."

The speaker was Chao Lu, the deputy general who had just been promoted, and explained in Mongolian that it meant stone.
