"In this way, Banpo stores have become a pot of porridge." Zhu Cihong collected information, watched several young staff officers of the Military Affairs Department waiting for the sand table of Kaifeng City, and muttered softly.

Banpodian fought, which was beyond the expectations of Zhu Gongqiao, Gao Mingheng and other Kaifeng civil officials. The food crisis was solved, and another big victory was achieved. For the civil officials of Kaifeng, keeping Kaifeng and protecting the prince has become a sure thing. As civil officials, they are naturally conservative at the moment, and obviously do not want any accidents to change the status quo. For them, the change in the status quo is most likely going in a bad direction.

But the battle of Banpodian was expected for Zhu Cihong.

He even wanted to pretend to say a few words, everything ...... It's all under control.

That's right, the Red Lady's unauthorized attack was controlled by Zhu Cihong.

And Jin Shenghuan went out of the city with hundreds of thousands of military funds, which Zhu Cihong personally raised.

In this way, how could Zhu Cihong not be clear about this battle, and how could he not pay attention to it?

Today, hundreds of thousands of military dollars have become a huge magnet that attracts armies from all sides. Moreover, there is a posture that is getting deeper and deeper.

The Red Lady's ambush on Jin Shenghuan's forward battalion and baggage team was like an introduction, opening the prelude to this big battle.

At the beginning, seeing that there were only 10,000 people in the Red Lady, and it was a strategic goal set by Zhu Cihong, Zuo Liangyu naturally would not let it go, and sent the cavalry with the strongest mobility at hand, and it was also led by his most trusted son to lead the troops to the rescue.

Zuo Mengeng's ability did not live up to Zuo Liangyu's expectations, and after a few rounds of charges. Soon the main force of the red lady, who consumed a lot, developed in the direction of being disabled.

Regarding Zuo Menggeng's appearance, Zhu Cihong was a little surprised.

Zhu Cihong guessed that Zuo Liangyu, a warlord who had just suffered a lot of losses in the first battle of Zhuxian Town, must be in urgent need of military resources. In any case, we will not let go of this military fund, which is worth at least 500,000 taels. But Zhu Cihong didn't expect Zuo Liangyu to be so generous, and even sent his own son.

It's like. Zhu Cihong thought that the bait would be lost and a grass carp would be hung up in the lake, but he didn't expect the grass carp to come, but it was made of gold.

The battle situation has developed to this point, almost like a template, developing in the plan that Zhu Cihong expected.

Except for Li Yan, who suddenly entered in chaos.

Fortunately, Li Yan had fewer soldiers and horses, which did not cause much fluctuation in the battle situation, but increased Zuo Menggeng's ambitions.

Zuo Mengeng is obviously confident that he will repel the Red Lady and Li Yan under Jin Shenghuan's desperate efforts. But Zuo Menggeng's final choice was to wait for Zuo Liangyu's main force to arrive to encircle and annihilate the Red Lady and Li Yan's entire army.

For this reason, Zuo Mengeng let the originally orderly battle situation in Banpo Store become a pot, you have me. I have you, and I don't have a lot of strength to stew porridge that I can't understand.

Such a pot of messy porridge certainly made the red lady and Li Yan unable to escape, but how could Hu Guangbing, who was also involved, get out?

At this time......

Liu Zongmin went up.

Zhu Cihong is very impressed with Liu Zongmin. And it turns out that Liu Zongmin is a complete thief. He knew himself very well, so he never minded it.

When the red lady inadvertently arranged for someone to leak out the news of a big deal, Liu Zongmin exerted great interest and perseverance without being reminded by others, and brought out the ten thousand people who could fight the most and run the fastest.

The situation is indeed as he expected, and the Banpo shop at this moment is a pot of porridge. Both sides are wrestling together. No one can get out.

This, it seems that Liu Zongmin is cheaper like this.

Zhu Cihong exhaled softly: "The distance is too far to command remotely." It's a pity, I really want to be in this battle. Play it well. But...... This is also an opportunity to see the color of the red lady. Well, and Qi Xian. It is not so simple to build the third battalion head of Shandong Town independently. Cooperate with Liu Zeqing, an old and cunning man, this battle. I'm really getting more and more interested......"

Zhu Cihong muttered, but his thoughts were interrupted by Ning Wei, the new captain of the guard.

"Will the Lord. The governor is here. Ning Wei said softly.

Zhu Cihong's personal guards have always been a rather side-eyed and unique existence in the army. Everyone knows that Zhu Cihong has the habit of loving to promote the backwards. In the pro-guard team, there is not only a pro-soldier general who defends Zhu Cihong, but also half of Zhu Cihong's students. As long as he has free time, Zhu Cihong is very happy to go to the pro-soldier guard to inspect the progress of the pro-soldiers' reading and literacy, talk about the course of military strategy, and test some new ideas that have come to Zhu Cihong's mind.

Correspondingly, Zhu Cihong's personal guards are also the best treated in the whole army, the most innocent soldiers, and the most intelligent and hard-working people.

If it weren't for the successive wars that made Zhu Cihong unable to develop steadily, in fact, a military academy would have been set up.

In this regard, Zhu Cihong does not mind turning this into a promotion path in the army. Selecting outstanding backbones in the army through education and investigation is always more sustainable than fighting in a sea of corpses and blood. There are too few veterans who survived the bloody defeat or defeat of World War I, and the cost is too high.

With these thoughts in his heart, Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "I'll go see him." ”

Gao Mingheng's purpose is very simple. Asked Zhu Cihong for his thoughts on the battle outside the city.

He obviously didn't know that Zhu Cihong was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. But now the issue of military strategy in the city is the highest authority here in Zhu Cihong. Kaifeng contextual Wu thought very well, and without the food crisis, he defeated Luo Rucai, and now Kaifeng is enough to share the credit.

But as the head of Kaifeng's civil officials, Gao Mingheng has more to think about. For example, the premise of keeping the profit of military merit is...... Zhu Cihong is willing to settle for the status quo. However, if Zhu Cihong insists on attacking...... It seems that there is nothing he can do.

Thinking like this, Gao Mingheng inevitably felt a little hazy when he saw Zhu Cihong.

Knowing Zhu Cihong's habits, Gao Mingheng was not polite, and mentioned the battle of Banpo stores outside the city.

"The military situation of the governor is really smooth." Zhu Cihong complimented him and said to the point: "It just so happens that our army has also obtained some information, so let Ning Wei talk about it first." ”

Gao Mingheng nodded, listening to Ning Wei tell the matter from the time the red lady attacked to the time Liu Zongmin entered.

Hearing this, Gao Mingheng took a deep look again, and the latest information he received was Zuo Menggeng's entry.

"How is Lord Qin going to deal with it?" Gao Mingheng asked bluntly.

Zuo Liangyu has already fallen into the battlefield, and it is difficult to escape. The time is ripe for a decisive battle. Zhu Cihong stared at Gao Mingheng and said in his heart, it was time to show his determination to fight a decisive battle.

So, what better way to show that than to be publicly identified?

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will hold a pre-war mobilization speech tomorrow." (To be continued......)
