All four directions attack

Ma Yi, Wang Shouren and Cao Shun personally led 3,000 troops and went out overnight.

Zhang Zhou personally saw him off, and then Zhang Zhou would lead seven thousand troops out of the fortress.

There was no swearing-in ceremony, and the soldiers embarked on a long journey. Zhang Zhou was riding on a horse, and the lights were brightly lit around him to show that he, a man who could understand the will of heaven, was on the side of the Ming Dynasty soldiers.

Many soldiers in Xuanfu are willing to follow Zhang Zhou on the expedition, all because of Zhang Zhou's face... There is no way, the ability to control the wind and rain is too bluffing, this is not the kind of magic stick who just blathers, everyone in the government and the public knows it.

"Immortal Master", plus the fact that Wang Yue, Zhu Feng and others treated Zhang Zhou as if he were a half-immortal, the soldiers had a different kind of ambition when they went to war.

It feels like...

I was deceived.

"When will the expedition begin tonight?" Zhang Heling arrived late at the gate of the city. As soon as he arrived, he asked Zhang Zhou about the situation of the Chinese army's dispatch.

Zhu Hui looked at him and asked, "Why did your uncle come here so late?"

Zhang Heling smiled and said: "The fans in the city are pretty good..."

Zhu Hui was ashamed, and then both of them turned their attention to Zhang Zhou.

"Food, fodder, and baggage for seven thousand soldiers and horses are still being prepared. It's impossible in the first half of the night. Let the soldiers rest for the night and leave tomorrow morning," Zhang Zhou said.

Zhu Hui asked curiously: "When the three armies went out for the expedition, even the food, grass and baggage were not prepared in advance?"

This question is a bit too direct.

Probably asking Zhang Zhou, aren't you so awesome that you can understand the will of heaven and ask ghosts and gods? How can you prepare food and grass in a hurry and not be prepared enough? They can't do it, but you can do it. Use some of your miraculous skills.

A gust of wind blows, shouldn't all the grain carriages be full?

"Why should we be so formal when we rush to the expedition?" Zhang Zhou's words surprised Zhu Hui.

That feels like.

We treat you like a semi-immortal, but you actually treat yourself as a mortal, or the kind of ordinary mortal that doesn't make sense?

Zhang Zhoudao: "We are too well prepared. If the Tatar sentry found out, they would think that we were really going to make some big move. We agreed that we were just going out to practice artillery. How big a battle would it take to fire up cannons and fry rabbits? What's the use of killing chickens?

Bullshit?"

"Hahaha……"

Zhang Heling felt very comfortable hearing this.

It's too much for his liking.

Zhu Hui asked the question that had been hanging in his mind before: "Mr. Zhang, I have always wanted to ask you, this surprise attack on Weininghai is so appropriate, and you are so well prepared, why don't you do it yourself? Even if Wang Weining was the Ministry of War at the time,

The Minister also went to battle in person and shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers."

Zhang Heling said with a smile: "Old Zhu, what you say is not flattering. Why do you mean that we all share the joys and sorrows? I think Mr. Zhang is quite good. Look... how real a person he is?"

Zhang Zhou glanced at Zhang Heling, and his words did not sound like good words.

At this time, the generals on horseback were also looking towards Zhang Zhou. They were probably also wondering, what were these three pillars of the army talking about here?

Zhang Zhou said: "I came to Xuan Mansion, do you think I am here to charge into the battle? I have more important errands. I want to lay the foundation of the northwest military administration. If I were not in Xuan Mansion, what would happen to the Tatar raids in Xuan Da area?

Didn’t I live up to His Majesty’s hard work in entrusting me to control Xuanda’s military affairs? The situation has opened up!”

Zhu Hui smiled bitterly.

No matter how it sounds, it sounds like... Zhang Zhou is afraid of death.

So Zhang Zhou only used his words and left the actual charge to others.

…

…

Sent off the soldiers on the expedition.

Zhang Zhou returned to the city, and only Tang Yin followed him back to the governor's Yamen.

The previous words clearly fell into Tang Yin's ears.

Tang Yin asked: "Zhang Zhitai, you should have a more subtle arrangement, or should you appear in a more important geographical location in order to fight head-on with the main force of the Hulu?"

"What?"

Zhang Zhou glanced at Tang Yin.

Today he felt that the attitude of the people around him towards him seemed a bit strange, especially Tang Yin.

Tang Yin sighed: "Based on my observations over the past few days, senior brother's ability should not be limited to this surprise attack on Weining Hai. At present, Weining Hai only contains the old, weak, women and children of Hulu. If you want to make achievements, you must face the enemy head-on."

"Bohu, when I hear you say this... I feel like you are a bit of a demon."

Zhang Zhou sighed, "Let's be normal, it's not that complicated. I don't go to the front line because my life is precious, and also because I am a person who does big things. Have you ever seen a person who makes decisions personally go into battle? Let others

There is no need for me to go into battle personally. You said we want a decisive battle... We will lead seven thousand soldiers and horses out of the fortress. The artillery can only be sixty or seventy, and the traveling speed can only be seventy or eighty miles a day. Who are we going to fight to a decisive battle with?"

Tang Yin was startled.

Damn it, I wanted to lift you up, but you gave in?

Zhang Zhou probably also saw that when Tang Yin and Wang Shouren listened to Zhang Zhou's explanation of the Battle of Weininghai, Tang Yin showed his own incompetence, but now he has learned to use his brain.

It's just that the way he uses his brain... doesn't rely on analysis of the situation, but relies entirely on... conjecture.

To put it bluntly, it is to raise Zhang Zhou's realm a little higher, and then use some personal imagination to think what will happen to Zhang Zhou, without analyzing what the entire situation will be like.

Wang Shouren had the opposite personality to Tang Yin. Even though Wang Shouren was 120 willing to attack Weininghai by surprise, he still expressed opposition when he first heard about it, until Zhang Zhou persuaded him with reasons and talked to him.

He discussed why this battle was feasible and the overall arrangements.

This shows that Tang Yin did not understand military and political affairs.

Zhang Zhou probably also felt that for Wang Shouren, it was normal cultivation, but for Tang Yin... it was more like pulling out the seedlings and encouraging them to grow.

…

…

Early the next morning, the 7,000 Chinese troops led by Zhang Zhou also left Xuanfu, preparing to march to the northwest border pass.

Because the expedition was not covered up, the soldiers and civilians in the city came out to see each other off. It was also because Zhang Zhou had performed miracles when he prayed for rain before, and he did not act like an official and walked with the people. He even visited the lonely old people, which won him many awards.

human heart.

As the current governor of Xuanfu, Ma Zhongxi should have come out to see him off, but because he was unhappy and had already submitted his resignation, he just asked someone to come out that day to inform him that he was ill and did not come out to see him off.

"Old Ma is still stingy." Zhang Zhou commented in front of Zhu Hui and others, "They are all serving the imperial court, so why care about the length of a moment? Besides, an inch is short and a ruler is long."

Zhu Hui asked curiously: "Isn't it true that a ruler is short and an inch is long?"

He seems to be still laughing at Zhang Zhou. You are the number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty. How can such a proverb be wrong?

Zhang Heling said: "Mr. Zhang is actually saying that no matter how much the old horse jumps, it is still an inch, and it cannot be compared with a ruler. The most important thing in life is to have self-knowledge."

"This..." Zhu Hui glared at Zhang Heling with an annoyed expression.

It seems to be saying, when did you learn to be clever? You are an ignorant relative, can you recognize all these words?

"Let's go! Go slower along the way and say hello to the people. We are going on an expedition for our fathers and fellow villagers. We must show that the army and the people are united. Whoever is holding back should go home and farm as soon as possible!"

Zhang Zhou completely regarded this as a show.

Anyway, his Chinese army was not the main force in the battle. It was just a show to show to the people of the Ming Dynasty, to let them know that he loved the people as his sons, and it was also a show to the Tatars.

The more public and high-profile he became, the more the Tatars' eyes focused on him, and the smaller the chance of Ma Yi and Wang Shouren leading the surprise attack to be discovered.

…

…

Head-turning pass.

An official letter was sent from the Xuanfu to mobilize troops. On that day, Zhu Fengben led troops to inspect an area more than ten miles north of Pianguan. He was also temporarily recruited by Wang Qiong and hurriedly returned to the city.

"Wang Zhongcheng."

After Zhu Feng met Wang Qiong, Liu Jin was the only one in the General Military Mansion besides Wang Qiong.

Zhu Feng was still very happy. He showed off his young man's show off and said, "Mighty gunpowder has been laid twenty or thirty miles north of the city, and the explosive points have been specially marked. If the Tatars dare to come, whether they send troops to attack at night,

Or an ambush attack can make it impossible to come back."

Wang Qiong actually admires Zhu Feng very much.

But he felt... Zhu Feng didn't seem to have the ability to replace Wang Yue.

Wang Qiong sighed and couldn't help but think of Zhang Zhou who was in Xuan Mansion. Zhang Zhou was the one who truly had the ability to determine the military structure of the northwest.

Zhu Feng?

At most, he was just running errands and doing odd jobs behind Zhang Zhou.
