Chapter 69: Eight Four Nine Huang Wan's Strategy

The city stands majestically, and not far from the castle of victory, there are three other castles, which constitute a fairly formidable defensive system. In wartime, once the city is besieged, the other several will be mutually reinforced, forcing the besieging soldiers to suffer from the enemy before and after, and they will not be able to live in peace.

Of course, the city is majestic enough, and the idea is very good, but it needs the strength of the people inside.

Huang Wan is obviously not a competent man.

He had nearly 3,000 troops under his command, but in fact he only had more than 700 troops under his command, which were somewhat overstretched to defend a victorious fort, let alone support several other forts in wartime.

And the combat effectiveness of his soldiers is also very average, which can be seen from all eyes.

In Datong Town in late spring and early summer, the wind is warm, blowing on the face is warm and warm, very comfortable, the wind is not big, and the flag is not swept by hunting, but a little listless drooping the flag, and occasionally it will move. The flag, like the soldiers standing on the city walls, wilted and half-dead.

The news of the White Lotus Sect's uprising had already spread, so the city gate was also closed, and the garrison on the city wall was strengthened, but no one took the soldiers below seriously, and they all felt that the White Lotus Sect would definitely not attack here. Those traitors, they will come here when they are tired of life!

Although they poked on the city wall, these soldiers gathered in groups of three or five, chatting in low voices, laughing and scolding, and some even directly found a relatively secret place - such as hiding behind the huge copper cannon on the enemy platform - and gambled. No one cares, because the gamble was opened directly by the officers.

The entire Fort of Victory seemed to be shrouded in a warm, lazy atmosphere.

The White Lotus Sect, which was raging, seemed to be very far away from them.

The Victory Fort General's Mansion, Huang Wan's mansion.

In the study, Huang Wan was leaning against the wide Luohan couch by the wall, looking at the documents in his hand.

He was wearing a soap-colored robe with large sleeves, his hair was tied up, and a topaz hairpin was inserted diagonally, and his demeanor was very casual. In addition, he looks quite delicate, and he doesn't look like a general with thousands of mercenaries at all, and he is clearly an elegant scribe.

Luohan couch is made of good yellow rosewood, not only the materials are exquisite, the workmanship is also very exquisite, and it is worth a lot at a glance. But in this study, it's not a luxury utensil. The furniture in the study, from the multi-treasure shelf, the Luohan couch to the desk, and even the piano table, the Hu stool, the Taishi chair, etc., are all made of fine wood, and the workmanship is not bad, and many of them are still old antiques, and the surface of the pulp is very beautiful.

There are a lot of books on the shelves, there are famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the four walls, and there are guqins on the piano table.

After flipping through the document and reading it a few times, Huang Wan sneered and whispered to himself: "Do you think of me now?" I was so bullied by that Liu Ruozai, but I still have to wipe his ass? Why? I don't do it! ”

"Your mother, you went to the west to make great contributions, and you took Dong Ce and Bai Tianfu with you, but you didn't take Lao Tzu! Hey, there's a fire in the backyard, right? Haha, when you first left, did you ever think of this day? Lao Tzu just doesn't care, it's just a mountain watching the fire, the worse they beat the North Hebei Province, the better, the bigger the trouble, the better, it's best for the government and the opposition to know, the world is shaken! When the time comes, I'll see if your surname Liu is unlucky! ”

Huang Wan smiled, and the corners of his mouth showed a touch of viciousness.

Just if he doesn't send troops, there must always be an excuse for not sending troops, of course he won't say it directly, but to find some high-sounding reasons, preferably the kind that no one can fault wrong.

After thinking for a while, Huang Wan's eyes lit up, he sat up, got off the Luohan couch, sat down at the desk, and began to write papers.

Among the generals in the late Ming Dynasty, there were not many who could do this--most of them let their staff write documents for themselves.

The military generals in the last years of the Ming Dynasty were looked down upon by civil officials for a very important reason that the civil officials thought they were rude and unliterate, but in fact, this was really not too wronged against them, because most of the military generals in the last years of the Ming Dynasty did not read much, and many of them didn't even know a word.

However, it does not include those generals who were born in a family of generals.

Their family has a family history, and they have also studied since childhood, and their learning is not necessarily very bad.

Huang Wan is from this kind of background.

There are many generals in the study, and there are many books in the study, but there are not many who can really read. Huang Wan also has many books in his study, but he is really not a vassal and elegant. Huang Wan was born in a family, and the master invited by the family is very knowledgeable, Huang Wan is also quite smart, and he reads very well. This is not easy, you must know that among these scholars in the Ming Dynasty, it is not bad to have one person in a hundred people.

Moreover, Huang Wan's learning is miscellaneous, and even the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not bad.

His calligraphy is learned from Zhu Zhishan, which is quite charming, but at this time, he replied to Shangguan's documents, and he used the pavilion style.

Writing this kind of thing, no matter what, you can't go wrong with a pavilion style.

In a few moments, a piece of paper was written.

In the document, Huang Wan did not say that he did not send troops, nor did he find any excuses, on the contrary, he first expressed his indignation and hatred for the rebels of the White Lotus Sect impassionedly, and then expressed great admiration for the Governor's insight, and finally made it very clear that he resolutely obeyed the orders of the Governor, immediately reorganized his troops for battle, and prepared to go to battle to clean up those White Lotus Sect rebels.

Huang Wan saw it and felt a little moved.

He chuckled: "I really understand the righteousness too well, I'm afraid that the governor will clap his hands and praise him when he sees it!" ”

After a short time, he rode a fast horse with the paperwork and went straight to Datong City. If nothing else, the Governor will be able to receive this document the day after tomorrow at the latest.

Almost at the same time as riding a fast horse out of the city, Huang Wan ordered someone to recruit Sun Tong to wait in the flower hall.

This is a man in his forties, with a complexion like bronze, not very tall, but very stout, and he looks full of strength. His eyes were a little gloomy, and his mouth was tightly pursed, looking a little cold.

Sun Tong is his henchman, but his son was born, when Huang Wan's family used their strength to make him an official of a hundred households at the age of fifteen, Sun Tong followed him as a personal soldier.

It has been following for decades until now.

Among all his subordinates, the one he trusts the most is Sun Tong, and if there is anything important, he will do it.

Sun Tong didn't wait long before Huang Wan came over and whispered a few words in his ear.

Sun Tong nodded, just answered, didn't say anything, didn't ask any questions, and left silently. About a quarter of an hour later, he left the city with a troop of cavalry, saying that he was going to patrol the border walls. In the evening of the same day, Sun Tong, who was in charge of patrolling the side wall, came back with people, but only half of them returned, and almost all of them were injured, with a lot of blood stains on their bodies, and they were all embarrassed. Even Sun Tong was cut on his arm, and the wound was so deep that he could almost see the bones! It turned out that they ran into the Tartars, and after a fierce battle, they were outnumbered and suffered heavy losses, and the enemy retreated, and the Tartars also suffered a lot of losses.
