"I see. Okay, even if Ben Qin cha promised the emperor, then it is bound to completely destroy the Yellow Bandit Army, so we will take the first step, if the two generals have sorted out their military affairs, it will not be too late to chase after them. Yang Chendong just pretended to be embarrassed, and after a slight hesitation, he agreed.

Yang Chendong agreed so happily, which naturally made Ma Wei and Guan Ying happy. In order to show their sincerity, they also sent some of the food in their army to the mercenary barracks, and then watched the vast mercenaries leave Wuzhou Mansion and pursue the Yellow Bandit Army.

"Hey, no matter what, the matter of the Yellow Bandit Army is settled, and it won't be long before we can hand over to the emperor." Ma Wei muttered to himself, these words were in Guan Ying's ears, and it also made his original self-blame much smaller.

What the two didn't know was that all this was Yang Chendong's arrangement.

Zhu Fangyong's departure from the city was one of his plans. The reason why he did this was because he had a bigger goal, which was to completely eat these yellow bandits.

The most indispensable thing for the development of Chichicheng and Xiaoliuqiu Island is people.

Only when we have enough manpower can we do more things we want to do, expand our army, and expand our strength.

It was precisely because of this that Yang Chendong's strategy for the Yellow Bandit Army was not to eliminate them at the beginning, but to make them prisoners.

It's just that with regard to Ying and Ma Wei, a few of them want some captives to abandon them as soldiers or can do it, but it is basically impossible to let all those people become their own prisoners and be sent to Xiaoliuqiu Island.

In order to achieve this goal, the first thing to do is to consume the strength of the Ming army and let them take care of it without any flaws. In this way, he sent a message to Zhu Fangyong, asking him to consume the living force of the Ming army in the form of war. In this way, Zhu Fangyong can also send some of the yellow bandits who do not obey him and those who have a bad mentality to the battlefield one by one, and use the hands of the Ming army to eradicate them.

This plan has proven to be suitable and successful. In the past few days of defending the city, Zhu Fangyong has been trusted and delegated by Huang Yuliang, and he took this opportunity to accomplish the purpose of eliminating dissidents, and finally sent some disobedient or some real villains to the defense of the city tower. Most of the people in today's Yellow Bandit Army are those who are forced by life to join, they are not loyal to Huang Gongzi, and they have no sense of belonging to the Yellow Bandit Army, as long as the opportunity is right, they may become a good citizen again, and after arriving on Xiaoliuqiu Island, they may also become useful talents there.

After the plan was successfully implemented, Yang Chendong generously took the mercenaries out of Wuzhou Mansion and came straight to Gaozhou. Even when they went out of the city, they still carried the gratitude of Ma Wei and General Guan Ying.

This kind of thing that benefits and gets the kindness of others, in Yang Chendong's eyes, of course, the more the better.

"Let Kuaima go and inform the battalion commander of Wusheng, you can close the encirclement and lock the target." After giving a secret order to Humang, Yang Chendong, who was riding on a horse, turned around and glanced at the army in his hand, and after having the three battalions of Leng Feng led by Kong Quanxin who came out of Mengzhu Ridge and an auxiliary battalion, the team he led grew stronger and stronger. Counting the temporary auxiliaries recruited along the way, the total strength has now increased to nearly 7,000 people.

Maybe an army of 7,000 is nothing in the eyes of others, but if these people are mercenaries, that kind of combat power is the same strength to meet an army of tens of thousands or even 100,000, and there is a good chance of victory.

Huang Yuliang followed Zhu Fangyong's suggestion, and first sent his only Heavenly King, General Ru Honghai, to raid Gaozhou Mansion, occupy the post, then abandon the entire Wuzhou Mansion, and then take most of the people in the city to the southeast of Gaozhou City.

For the people with 40,000 people in Wuzhou Mansion, Huang Yuliang was a little puzzled at this point. It was only because Zhu Fangyong's method of dealing with the enemy was very timely that he didn't ask deeply. Now that he was out of Wuzhou Mansion, when the remaining 50,000 Yellow Bandit troops and 40,000 people were walking on the official road, he had time to inquire about the reason and ordered someone to call Zhu Fangyong in front of him.

"General Zhu, this time the matter has worked hard for you, you are very good, my son is very satisfied, but why do you want to bring the people of Wuzhou Mansion? Why did the general teach me? First expressed his appreciation, and then Huang Yuliang asked the question in his heart.

"Childe, you have a lot of knowledge, you must have heard the truth that water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat. If you want to change the world, you must first get the support of the people, because they are the cornerstone of supporting a country, and this is the intention of bringing them this time, and there are two other benefits to be seen. Zhu Fangyong, who had been prepared, did not have much trouble answering this question.

"Two more benefits? What is it? Huang Yuliang came to his senses and asked curiously.

"One, the son did not forget to take the people away when he went out of the city, which is enough to prove that there are people in your eyes and you treat them as your own. If this matter is spread once it spreads, won't it make the good name of the son spread to all directions? This is a way to buy people's hearts without spending money. ”

"On both sides, there is always something that needs to be done on the march of the army. For example, transporting grain and grass, such as cooking and washing for soldiers, we can't do it well, with these people, it is equivalent to having a lot of free labor, why not do it? With such a free hand, our soldiers can concentrate on the road, can better nourish their spirits, and once they engage the Ming army, they will be able to better exert their strength, isn't it the best of both worlds? ”

"General, we have robbed so many cities in a row, and now there is no shortage of grain and grass, and there is even surplus wealth. Isn't it good that we can use this surplus food and grass to make so many people work for us? As for the future when there is not enough food and grass, I am trying to find a way to let them leave, and no matter where these people go, they will think of the good of the son, and think about the time when they are full and warm with you. If that's the case, once I hear from you, who doesn't want to come to you, why worry about not having a source of soldiers? Won't the team grow? ”

In a row, Zhu Fangyong said a lot. Every time he talked about something, Huang Yuliang felt a light in front of him. "Okay, General Zhu is really far-sighted, and General Zhu has to worry about the uncertainties of the world. In this way, from now on, General Zhu will be one of the new four heavenly kings under the throne of this son. ”

Listening to this reward, Zhu Fangyong felt sorry in his heart, but he still pretended to be grateful, "Thank you Gongzi for cultivation, Fang Yong will definitely do his best to repay Gongzi's kindness." ”

"Haha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say." Huang Yuliang laughed, happy that he had such a loyal and capable subordinate. didn't know that from this moment on, his life was already in the hands of others.

Zhu Fangyong became one of the official Four Heavenly Kings, which made his power unprecedentedly stronger, and many military leaders took the opportunity to congratulate him to express their loyalty. Let his influence in the Yellow Bandit Army also grow bigger and bigger, and even many things can be decided in one word, and there is no need to report to Huang Yuliang.

All this is equivalent to giving more support to Zhu Fangyong's plan to complete the sixth young master in the future.

......

Gaozhou Mansion.

After the Heavenly King Ru Honghai occupied this place in a surprise attack, he gradually became a little arrogant.

As one of the veteran Four Heavenly Kings, Ru Honghai is not as brave as Geng Jun, nor as tall as Cui Yan, nor as familiar with water warfare as Sun Jianglong.

If among the four heavenly kings, who reassures Huang Yuliang the most, I am afraid that there is no one else except Ru Honghai, who is not good-looking and has a mediocre height.

That is, he was still lucky, he survived until now, and occupied Gaozhou Mansion, finding a way back for his son. This achievement can be said to be very great, and there is also news in the army, saying that once Huang Gongzi comes to Gaozhou Mansion, General Ru will become the head of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Such rumors inevitably reached Ru Honghai's ears, and it made him feel fluttering, and there was a feeling of not putting the heroes of the world in his eyes.

Under arrogance, the defense of Gaozhou Mansion became lax. Or that Ru Honghai never thought that someone would make up his mind. After all, judging from the news from the scouts, there is no Ming army near Gaozhou Mansion anymore.

But in fact, there is a Leng Feng team in Gaozhou City that can kill him, and one of the leaders of this team is the 400 Leng Feng led by Wu Sheng, the commander of the first battalion of the 2nd Leng Feng Regiment.

In a huge city, the existence of 400 people is enough to be inconspicuous and undewy as long as they are fully prepared. Not to mention, these four hundred people are all elite cold fronts who are well-trained and have specialized in camouflage techniques.

The previous Gaozhou Mansion was breached by Wu Sheng and his people, which gave him plenty of time to hide. When Ru Honghai entered the city with the Yellow Bandit Army, the auxiliary army camp retreated according to the plan, leaving only the Shaozhou general Yu Guang with less than a thousand people to resist here for a while and then had to leave.

Effective resistance still existed, which further strengthened Ru Honghai's belief that the Ming army was inferior to himself, and also created enough opportunities for Wu Sheng to lead people to stay.

As the time when Ru Honghai's troops occupied Gaozhou Mansion became longer and longer, the Leng Feng battalion led by Wu Sheng was getting closer and closer to the time to start.

"Tell me about it, it's tonight." Finally, when the spies of the Security Bureau infiltrated the Gaozhou Mansion and successfully connected with Wu Sheng, the order from above was also delivered. The Cold Front Battalion is about to make a move.
