Guo Rong, who was about to give orders, was stunned when he heard Yang Zhen's words, and the other generals and Zhou Zechuan also looked at him with puzzled eyes, I don't know why he suddenly said this.

If Zhou Zechuan said this, Guo Rong would have disdained it at all. Although the other party is the governor of Datong, and his status is far beyond that of him, the chief soldier, but because his foundation is still shallow and he is a civilian official, he cannot compete with Guo Rong in military affairs at all, so naturally he doesn't need to care.

But Yang Zhen is obviously different, this is a messenger from the capital, and Guo Rong still asks him this time, and it is not easy not to give face. However, he didn't want to listen to Yang Zhen's meaning, he just listened to him finish speaking: "What is Lord Yang's opinion?" ”

Yang Zhen's gaze was also on that map for a long time, and then he spoke: "General Guo and the generals' judgment of the situation does have a certain degree of truth, but there is also a loophole. We know very little about what was going on outside the city, so what if the Tartars weren't just small groups of men as we thought, but large armies? ”

"It can't be!" As soon as Yang Zhen's words fell, some generals shook their heads and expressed their opposition. Although the other party has the identity of Qincha, but it is related to the safety of Datong and their own duties, these generals still have to argue: "There are countless fortresses in front of us, if it is really as Lord Yang said, how can the fortress in front not need to be warned by beacons?" ”

Guo Rong also nodded and said: "Yes, Lord Yang, why these Tartars can appear so abruptly under my Datong City, they must have been broken into pieces, and they slipped from under the noses of those fortresses, and the troops must not be too sufficient." Now that they have divided their forces into five routes, they are even more thin, and as long as we go out of the city to meet them at this time, we will definitely be able to defeat them one by one. ”

Yang Zhen hadn't spoken yet, but Zhou Zechuan opened his mouth: "In the opinion of this official, what Lord Yang said is not unreasonable. As the saying goes, if you don't think about victory before you think about defeat, why don't you send someone to find out the specific strength of the Tartars first, and then it's not too late to send troops. Otherwise, if there is a loss in the hasty dispatch of troops, it will be very disadvantageous to defend with me. "As the governor of Datong, he is most concerned about the safety of this city, as for the fortress outside, it is a big deal to repair it when the time comes.

But Guo Rong and other generals think completely differently from him. As the generals of this place, the survival of every fortress is their fault, unless they are forced to do so, who is willing to abandon these important places and their brothers inside?

Yang Zhen raised an objection just now because he was a Qincha identity, and those generals didn't dare to oppose too much, but now that Zhou Zechuan has been replaced, the situation is different. Immediately, someone said: "The soldiers are fast, now that the Tartars have been killed in the city, we will send people to investigate, but I am afraid that it will be too late." Could it be that Governor Zhou wants Datong to be like Xuanfu, until the Tartars storm and then ask for help from the imperial court? ”

Hearing such a confrontation and sarcasm, Zhou Zechuan's face suddenly sank, and he snorted, and he didn't know what to say. Seeing this, Yang Zhen coughed lowly and wanted to say something more.

But Guo Rong took the lead in speaking: "What the two adults are worried about is not unreasonable, but the fighter plane is fleeting, and there is no room for delay." If the Tartars had only attacked the fortress outside our city, killed their brothers, and plundered the grain and grass that had been hoarded there, our losses would have been great. And this is not only a superficial loss, but also a great blow to the morale of our Datong defenders......"

The other party has said this, Yang Zhen and Zhou Zechuan are no longer stubborn, so they can only sigh: "Since this is the case, let's do what Guo Zongbing wants." But this time, you must be cautious. ”

Guo Rong nodded: "This point will naturally be saved." I will ask the general Liao Da and others to lead thousands of men and horses in their headquarters to the rescue, plus the soldiers and horses guarding the forts, it is enough to repel the Tartars. "Until this time, he had decided that the invading enemy should be no more than one or two thousand people, and now they sent nearly 10,000 people to support at once, and victory was inevitable, just to see how many invading enemies they could kill and how much credit they had accumulated.

After gaining the approval of Yang Zhen and the others, Guo Rongcai turned to those generals and made a series of arrangements. In addition to letting Liao Da and other generals each lead 2,000 men and horses out of the city, the defense in the city also had to be strengthened, which was naturally a good move.

It took me more than half an hour to explain things clearly. Immediately, all the generals left one after another, and after gathering the men and horses, they quickly galloped towards their respective goals. At this time, they were unaware of the terrible fact that they would never come back.

After the hall was deserted, only Yang Zhen and Guo Rong were left, and Zhou Zechuan saw that he could no longer control any situation, so he had already left with a playful excuse to appease the people.

As for Yang Zhen, at this time, he put his whole mind on the simple map, and his eyes kept spinning around the fortresses on the periphery of Datong, as if he was thinking about something.

Guo Rong originally wanted to say something, after all, he had refuted Yang Zhen's face just now, and he was a little afraid that the other party would mind. But seeing him staring at the map with such interest, it was not easy to disturb him for a while, so he could only accompany him to look at it.

Guo Rong is naturally too familiar with this map, and the things on it are actually very simple, which makes him a little strange, and he doesn't understand why Yang Zhen would look at such a simple thing seriously for so long.

Finally, after watching a long meal, Yang Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief, but his brows furrowed even tighter: "Mr. Guo, I'm afraid things are not as simple as you think." ”

"Huh? What does Lord Yang mean by this? Suddenly hearing him say such a sentence out of nowhere, Guo Rong felt a burst of surprise and couldn't help but ask.

Yang Zhen's hand swiped over those fortresses: "You believe that the number of Tartars outside the city is not large, on the basis of believing that these fortresses are still under the control of my Ming Dynasty. But what if they had taken all these fortresses earlier? ”

"It can't be!" Guo Rong immediately shook his head without hesitation and said: "If this is the case, we have already received the news, just ......like seeing the beacon fire just now" Although he said so, he also hesitated a little in his heart, there was no news back there a few days ago, and the people sent to investigate have not returned, could it be that those fortresses in front of them would really be controlled by the enemy unconsciously?

Yang Zhen said solemnly: "Under normal circumstances, naturally there will be no such changes. But there are no absolutes in the world, and if they have a strong enough team, they can take advantage of the heavy snow or the night to launch a sneak attack on these fortresses. When he said this, Yang Zhen unconsciously remembered the special operations that his team had done in his previous life.

Guo Rong was stunned by what he said, but then shook his head and said: "Don't say that there can't be such an army in this world, and even if there is, it can't appear in the Tartars." Lord Yang, you're really a little worried. ”

"Are you too worried?" Yang Zhen's brows furrowed more and more, and he always felt that something that was not within his cognition had happened.

After frowning and thinking for a while, Yang Zhencai said again: "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case." Guo Zongbing, in order to protect everything, we must guard Datong well, and we must not take it lightly. ”

Although he was a little unimpressed by Yang Zhen's worries, Guo Rong still nodded respectfully: "The last general understands that the defense in the city will be properly arranged. ”

"Second brother, what do you say?" When Yang Zhen came out of the command post, Cai Yingyang came up and asked.

Yang Zhen sighed with an uneasy expression: "They already have a way to deal with it, but I am still a little worried, and I always feel that things are not so simple." ”

"That'...... What shall we do? ”

"Stabilize it first......" Speaking of this, Yang Zhen suddenly had a thought in his heart. He had been looking for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Guo Rong, and for now, this seemed to be a good opportunity. If Guo Rongzhen loses in this battle, he will be much safer than before. Thinking of this, he unconsciously glanced back at the command post behind him, and a few strange and complicated rays of light flashed in his eyes.

Yang Zhen's words made Guo Rong feel a little more uneasy. Especially the seemingly impossible situation mentioned by Yang Zhen at the end, which made his heart hang high and he couldn't fall for a long time.

The only thing that can reassure him now is that the good news has come back. However, it was dark, but no one came back, which made Guo Rong even more worried.

I went to the five people, so there should be one way back to the city after defeating the enemy, right? Could it be that they were really entangled with those Tartars, or did they chase them out for merit? As for the worst-case scenario, he didn't even dare to think about it.

After waiting for a long time like this, seeing that they had entered the third watch, Guo Rong finally couldn't hold his breath and planned to rush to the city gate to take a look in person. But as soon as he stepped out of the house, he heard a bustle and screams from ahead, which made his heart pound, and he couldn't care about his identity, and immediately walked forward quickly.

After passing through the two courtyard gates, I saw several people stumbling in. Although the sky was already dark, under the reflection of the lights, Guo Rong still saw clearly that one of them was Liao Da: "Liao Da, what's the matter?" Immediately, his gaze fell on his left shoulder, which was empty—Liao Da's entire left arm had been broken.

As soon as they saw Guo Rong, Liao Da and a few others bowed down violently: "General...... We were besieged by the Tartars, all our brothers were killed, and only a few of us fought their way out of the siege...... Please also punish the general! ”

"What?" Guo Rong couldn't believe his ears, but after seeing their embarrassed appearance, he knew that what he heard was not false, which made him feel that the world was spinning for a while, and he almost fell headlong!
