"Brother Lu's thinking is very thoughtful, and what he said makes sense! The current situation seems to be extremely favorable to our army, but the battlefield situation is changing rapidly. We have been able to achieve the few victories we have so far, but we only beat the Tatars out of the cold.

It’s just no defense!”

Seeing that the generals were silent, Yang Zhen knew that everyone's opinions might be mainly focused on the aspects mentioned by Lu Pinqi, so he simply stopped waiting. He pondered and spoke, and first confirmed that Lu Pinqi's remarks were reasonable.

Then he paused for a moment and then continued:

"If we talk about the results we have achieved, it is reasonable now! After all, we have defeated Xu Guan Fort and Xiong Yue City. In the future, we will report to Ningyuan and report to the court. It will be another great victory! But -"

Hearing what Yang Zhen said, Yuan Jin, Zhang Chen, Li Lu and others stared at Yang Zhen with their eyes wide open, and pricked up their ears to listen carefully to what he said.

They were already familiar with Yang Zhen's routine of rising first and then suppressing it when they were on the way to rescue Songshan City, so they also knew that what Yang Zhen said next was the true thoughts of the young commander-in-chief.

Sure enough, Yang Zhen changed the subject and continued: "But, is this enough?! - If we had not stopped Zhang Kushan on Yilipo, then nothing would have happened. We would rest in the city today and take the bus in the evening.

When the tide rises, you have to evacuate quickly!

"If this is true, then there is nothing to hesitate. We have lost the opportunity, and we have to leave! Because once the news of Xiongyue City's destruction spreads, the Tatars will never give up! Gaizhou, Jinzhou, Fuzhou

, even Haizhou is not far from here. The Eight Banners stationed in these places may send troops at any time! Especially Gaizhou!

"But - has the news of Xiongyue City's destruction been spread so far?! I don't think so! Even if Zhang Kushan had the foresight and sent people to avoid us and go out of the city to report the news, even if some Tatars rob

Let us lower the city before we break it. Even if the Tatars cover the whole country with gold, I will not believe that Xiong Yue City will fall in one go!"

Having said this, Yang Zhen took a deep breath and exhaled it again. His mood gradually returned to calm. He glanced at the generals and then said:

"We didn't even think of this result, did we?! Tell us, who among you has thought of such a result before!? - If we didn't even think of it, how could the Tatars have thought of it?!

"The Mantatars have always been arrogant and extremely arrogant. They say that the Jurchens are less than ten thousand and are invincible. Especially the Mantatars under the banner of Duduo Xiangbai are so arrogant that they have reached the highest level. How could they have expected this result?

!How can you believe this result?!

"Taking a step back, even if some of them expected that Xiongyue City's small army might be defeated by us in a single battle, they probably didn't expect that Xu Erxian and Zhang Kushan would be completely annihilated by us! This

——This is our chance!”

"Sir! Do you mean to say-"

Zhang Chen, who was standing aside, heard Yang Zhen say so much, but still wanted to mobilize everyone to continue the fight, so he immediately answered:

"Sir, what you are saying is that before the news of Xiongyue City's destruction has spread, and the Manchu Tatars and Tatars covering the whole country have no chance to react, we can choose another place to raid and break another city.

?!"

As soon as Zhang Chen finished speaking, Yuan Jin, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke again: "Brother! Brother General! You have to be careful about this!

"Brother admits that what you said makes sense! It makes sense! Last night, brother was on the river and heard reports that Xiongyue City was destroyed. Brothers, you have entered the city! I really couldn't believe it at the time. I sent someone to confirm again and again before leading people into the city.

! Therefore, I also infer that even if the news here really reaches Gaizhou and other cities, the Tatars will not believe it for a while!"

Having said this, Yuan Jin stopped and looked at Yang Zhen, and then continued: "But, brother, you don't know something. The four cities covered by gold are not comparable to the small town of Xiong Yue!

"When these four cities were on our side, they were the acropolis of one guard. Now they are full of important areas controlled by the Tatars in southern Liaoning! We are fully prepared, but with only more than a thousand troops, we can't defeat them easily!"

"That's right! Commander-in-Chief, to tell you the truth, we are on this sea, in this area, and our days of making a living are not short, but at most we only dare to think about attacking Xu Guanbao! Some little guys

Villages and small villages are no big deal, but if you want to attack a city like Gaizhou or Fuzhou, you have to think carefully about it. If it is too dangerous, we, Mr. Hu, may not be able to accompany you!"

Gao Chengyou, who had been silent at first, also stood up and objected after hearing what Yuan Jin said.

Yang Zhen turned to look at him, and Gao Chengyou didn't shy away. That meant clearly that they would not follow Yang Zhen and go crazy.

Yang Zhen looked at Yu Liangtai and Hu Dabao again. The two men lowered their heads and looked at the ground, not looking at Yang Zhen, but their meaning was very clear.

Yang Zhen sighed secretly, but saw that Lu Pinqi was hesitant and seemed to be about to speak again. He immediately waved his hand to stop Lu Pinqi, and then said loudly:

"You are all wrong! I have said before that head-to-head confrontation is not our style of play! I, Yang Zhen, have not been dazzled by these small victories! I still want to go straight to fight with the Tatars.

What kind of bird is Shengjing, but how can he do this so recklessly?!

"In the Thirty-Six Strategies, in addition to striking the grass and frightening the snake, and diverting the tiger away from the mountain, isn't it also about concealing the truth? Isn't it also about fishing in troubled waters?! It's okay if others don't know. Brother Lu, you are a general, how can you not know?!"

When everyone saw Yang Zhen saying such words with a smile, they were a little stunned for a moment and did not realize what it meant.

At this time, Qiu Zhenhai, the newly surrendered general who had been standing behind Yang Zhen, suddenly said: "Sir! What you want is to let our troops dress up as Tatars, and take advantage of the fact that the Tatars don't understand Xiong Yue's side of the battle.

Keeping the situation, let’s use the fake to look for an opportunity to deceive the real Tatar’s city gate?!”

"That's right!"

Yang Zhen first confirmed Qiu Zhenhai's question, then looked at the surprised and stunned generals, and then said: "The Tatars' armor is covered with white flags in Xiongyue City, and there are two Niulu and six hundred people! Jiulongdi and Xu

The armor and helmets of the Imperial Fort Tianzhu soldiers are enough for four hundred people to dress up! Besides, we don’t need that many!”

When Yang Zhen said this, all the generals in the courtyard who were discussing the military situation around him took a breath of air.

The ideas of this young commander are always so wild and unconstrained, and every move he makes sounds completely unexpected at first, but makes sense when you think about it more carefully.

Including Lu Pinqi, who advocated retreating to the sea, after hearing Yang Zhen's words, he couldn't help but take off his helmet, scratched his head vigorously, rubbed his face, and took this opportunity to cover up his embarrassment.

.

What's wrong with me? These tricks are not really clever, but when I face Mantatars, my mind always goes blank and I can't even remember to use them. Instead, I always think about retreating and thinking about them.

Be on guard and be ready.

"Master General! If you say so, we will have a lot of chances to win! Since it's so difficult, I think 90% of us, Mr. Hu, can agree to continue our cooperation! - Third brother, Dabao, what do you say?!

"

This time, after defeating Xiong Yuecheng, Gao Chengyou didn't have to fight a tough battle, but he gained a lot. Of course he hopes to continue with such a cheap and profitable deal. Now that he heard Yang Zhen's dirty trick, he suddenly felt like he was winning.

Not small, he immediately changed his words and catered to him.

And not only did he take the initiative to cater to them, but he also pulled Yu Liangtai and Hu Dabao to express their stance in the end.

During the battle to break Xiongyue City, Yu Liangtai was arranged by Yang Zhen to intercept the Tatar deserters outside the north gate. He entered the city late and did not gain much.

However, he has now made up his mind and wants to take advantage of the opportunity in front of him to return to the army of the Ming Dynasty through Yang Zhen. So after listening to Gao Chengyou's question, he immediately said to Yang Zhen: "Yu has no

Secondly, I am willing to listen to the commander-in-chief’s orders!”

Seeing that Yu Liangtai's attitude was very positive, Yang Zhen nodded at him and then turned to Hu Dabao.

Hu Dabao participated in several battles in a row, and the number of men and horses under his command was not small. The number may not be enough at the moment, but in any case, his men can be regarded as a force.

The few people Yang Zhen has put together now are not many in the first place. If any one of them withdraws temporarily, it will be a moderate loss.

Moreover, teams like Hu Changhai, Gao Chengyou, Yu Liangtai, and Hu Dabao are different from Songshan's army or Yuan Jin's naval camp.

Facing these pirate teams, he couldn't force them. If they insisted on breaking up, dividing things, and leaving, he couldn't do anything to them unless they broke up with each other.

Therefore, he had to pay close attention to Hu Dabao's attitude.

At this time, I heard Hu Dabao say: "General Soldier, next, do you always want to attack Gaizhou or Fuzhou? Do you always want to attack tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? You have to decide the direction first.

Once the time is set, we can decide on the rest!"
