Chapter 232 The big iron ball greets

At sunset that afternoon, Zhang Zhou finished teaching Zhu Houzhao and was about to leave the palace under the guidance of the internal officials.

In the morning, he was teaching together with the lecturers in the East Palace. In the afternoon, he was alone, so it was more convenient to go out. He carried a lesson plan... Zhang Zhou felt like he had returned to his previous life, and he mainly taught people every day. Although There are no weekend breaks and winter and summer vacations, but you don’t have to come every day. When you go back from get off work, you don’t watch live broadcasts, drink and brag, but go back to your wife and children to warm up on the kang, and practice gymnastics.

Although the Internet is missing, Zhang Zhou feels that his life is relatively smooth.

"Master Zhang."

Before Zhang Zhou could take two steps out, he saw Liu Jin quickly catching up with him with a stern look on his face.

The eunuch Yang Peng who was leading the way took a look at Liu Jin and became very wary.

Zhang Zhou said: "Oh, is Eunuch Liu sending me out of the palace today?"

"No, it's not." Liu Jin said hurriedly, "I'm just giving you a ride."

"You say this as if you are going to bury me. Eunuch Liu, just say what you have to say!"

Zhang Zhou knew that Liu Jin was respectful to him now, but that would not be the case later. If someone who was favored in front of the prince would be as respectful and obedient to Liu Jin as he was when Liu Jin became famous, would he still be as respectful and obedient to him as he is now?

Liu Jin said with a smile: "Master Zhang is like this. He doesn't have much ability as a young man. He has served in front of the prince and has not achieved much in the past two years, but he just wants to do something for the prince."

"It's no fun going around in circles. Do you think I have a lot of time?" Zhang Zhou was impatient.

You can't give a good look to people like Liu Jin.

Liu Jin said: "Look at Eunuch Zhang Yong. I heard that he made great contributions when he was at Pianguan. I think so... I am definitely not planning for myself, but for the prince. The prince also hopes to have capable people around him."

Someone who knows how to fight can help me, do you think you can make some arrangements for...?"

"oh?"

Zhang Zhou did not feel that Liu Jin was competing with him for his job.

Even if a eunuch understands military affairs, what does he know? At most, he is just a person sent by the emperor to supervise the army.

To direct the war, you still need to rely on the censors at all levels, that is, the chief commander or the governor, or the chief military officer. The eunuchs only take credit for their work and do nothing. Of course, there are also powerful figures such as Wang Zhi who can take the initiative to take over military power.

Give it to a eunuch who can do something.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said: "Eunuch Liu, you are really... ambitious."

"No, I just want to do more for the prince, and also for you, Master Zhang." Liu Jin looked very humble.

Zhang Zhou looked at him with a look that said, "You old boy finally lived up to my training." He smiled and said, "Very good. Next time I have a chance to go to the battlefield, I will recommend you to His Majesty and do a good job."

"Definitely, definitely." Liu Jin was ecstatic, as if she was about to become rich, and jumped back towards the Wenhua Palace.

…

…

"Sir, do you really plan to help him? This kind of person is not a serious person at first glance."

Yang Peng heard Liu Jin's previous request, and after Liu Jin left, he used a hostile tone, as if he was instigating Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou squinted at Yang Peng.

You say that Liu Jin is not serious? It seems that your Yang Peng’s goods are not too pure, right?

Moreover, you, Yang Peng, have done more bad things in Dongchang, and your reputation from the outside world is even worse. Things like the Mancang'er case are all related to you, but you still have the nerve to criticize others?

"He is just an attendant of the prince in the East Palace. I am an official in the East Palace. I will not look up when I see you. If he really wants to go to the northwest to experience... Eunuch Yang, you don't really think that military glory in the northwest is easy to come by, do you? Wang Weining often has

And wars don’t happen often…”

Zhang Zhou almost didn't tell Yang Peng that without my plan, anyone going to the northwest or Liaodong would be in vain.

Yang Peng swallowed. It was obvious that he had the same idea as Liu Jin: "Sir, if you see any need for these people to contribute, just give me an order. These people also want to follow you and do their part for the Ming Dynasty."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Zhang Zhou said yes, but whether he took it seriously is another matter.

…

…

Liaodong, Ningyuan City.

In the early morning of 291, Ren Liang and others were still preparing to organize their troops, but they learned that the commander Zhu Feng had not come down from the city all night.

"Hey, you are still a fool who leads the way. Let's go up to the top of the city and have a look."

Ren Liang took the capital commander Qian Ying and other generals and hurried to the west gate of the outer city to welcome the en gate.

At this time, on the top of the city, Wang Qiong was still helping Zhu Feng plan.

Zhu Feng also discovered that Wang Qiong was very capable. He could not just be a grain supervisor. He also seemed to understand that the emperor and Zhang Zhou asked Wang Qiong to come to Ningyuan with him just to help him make suggestions. There were many things he didn't understand.

As long as Wang Qiong makes a little push, he will be able to understand everything and make appropriate arrangements.

This is also the reason why local snakes have been very picky about Zhu Feng in the past few days since he came to the city and have not ignored him.

In addition to Zhu Feng's strong background, it is also because Zhu Feng has a good military advisor beside him.

"It's close, it's already four or five miles away." Wang Qiong looked through the binoculars and explained the situation to Zhu Feng based on the information collected by the sentry.

Zhu Feng became excited and asked: "Can you get closer? Four or five miles... is still a bit far."

Wang Qiong thought for a while and did not give a plan easily.

At this moment, Ren Liang, Qian Ying and others came up to the top of the city, and with them came two deputy commanders, Zhang Yanling and Chen Rui.

Wang Qiong frowned and said, "Why are you all here? Are there no guards in other places?"

What you mean is that all the people in the city who are nearly qualified to deploy troops and generals come to this place, and they are not afraid that a stone will fall from the sky and we will be killed together, and then the city will be prepared for chaos and Di Yi will take advantage of it?

Ren Liang sneered and said: "Mr. Wang, are you worried too much? Where are Wu Liangha's people? You can point them out!"

Recently, Wang Qiong has been helping Zhu Feng to make suggestions. He is vaguely the civil servant leader in the city. Ren Liang's power is the one who has been emptied out. Of course, Ren Liang is unhappy with Wang Qiong. This time, it is Wang Qiong who takes the initiative to "provoke trouble", and he can't bear it even more.

live.

Immediately, a general reminded: "Mr. Ren, Wu Liangha's troops are less than five miles away from the city."

Chen Rui said: "If you use the cavalry to attack suddenly, you can arrive in a breath, and before the foothold is stable..."

Halfway through his words, he noticed that everyone was looking at him strangely, so Chen Rui stopped talking.

He suddenly realized that as a "famous general" who was once the only one in the northwest, he was now like a clown in the eyes of others. Would anyone believe what he said?

Qian Ying was still polite and reminded: "Uncle Ping Jiang, the terrain in Liaodong is not as good as the three sides. The terrain here is long and narrow and there is almost no place for garrisoning. If the troop deployment does not go well, it will not be so easy to withdraw the cavalry into the city. This

You have also seen the city gate, it is a bit difficult to accommodate two riders at a time."

"Ahem."

Chen Rui was choked by a commanding officer. Naturally, he felt very unhappy and could only cough to cover up his embarrassment.

Zhu Feng ignored Qian Ying's advice and asked: "If we want the people of the Duoyan tribe to get closer to the city, what can be done? For example... can we get to a distance of two or three miles?"

Ren Liang was surprised and said: "What is An Bianbo doing? Isn't it good for the Hulu to stay away from the city fortress and both sides will be safe?"

Now Ren Liang feels that Zhu Feng is a bit of a suicidal person. If he doesn't come, do you still want him to come?

Zhu Feng was also an open-minded person, and immediately said: "Guys, please look, we have set up all the cannons. If they get close, we will shoot out the cannons... The range of these cannons is two or three miles away."

,When……"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Ren Liang couldn't help but laugh. This time he was really laughing.

Wang Qiong asked: "What does Ren Gonggong mean?"

Ren Liang waved his hand and said with a smile: "It is very easy to get the Hulu to approach the city fortress. As long as the cavalry is deployed, the Hulu will definitely come over and force the cavalry to withdraw into the city. But Uncle Anbian, I want to remind you.

, No matter how far your artillery fires, what's the point of sending an iron ball out? Do you expect it to hit the enemy's formation exactly? Don't you think they won't hide?"

"If you really do this, the city gate will cause trouble, and it may even involve the city gate not being closed in time, leading to the defeat of the army... Haha, it's up to you..."

The group of local snake generals next to Ren Liang were also laughing.

Even Qian Ying could tell that his "adopted father" was giving Zhu Feng bad ideas. Things that could be solved by staying in the city had to be figured out. No matter how strong Zhu Feng's background was, he would not be able to solve the problem.

Will suffer.

Zhu Feng said without even thinking: "Then send the cavalry out to form an array!"

"ah?"

Everyone present, including the "own people" brought by Zhu Feng, looked at Zhu Feng with "Are you crazy?"

Ren Liang put away his scornful smile and said seriously: "Uncle An Bian, you are playing with fire and burning yourself! The rules of the Ming Dynasty's border troops, whether in Liaodong, Yansui, Ningxia, Datong and other places, are to wait for the Tatars to return

Pursue again when retreating, this has been the case for decades, you wouldn't think you were Wang Weining just after experiencing a side battle, right?"

With Ren Liang's tough attitude, he felt that if you, Zhu Zhijie, harassed us to defend the city, we could not do anything to you, and we would even cooperate.
