Chapter 512: Divide the troops into two routes

Of course, the alliance between Wu Shigong and Yan Jing is just a preset move, and in his opinion, Yu Zilian's crackdown on bandits this time is more than lucky. After three months of training, you want to go out to fight? Yu Zilian thinks he is the reincarnation of Sun Wu? However, to Wu Shigong's surprise, Yu Zilian not only won a big victory, but his Ruzhou army also swelled up extremely hugely.

At the beginning of June, after Yu Zilian led the Ruzhou army to set off, he first waved his troops to the northwest of Ruzhou. It should be said that the use of correct military training methods can achieve twice the result with half the effort. After three months of training, the momentum of the Ruzhou Army already has the appearance of some army, coupled with Yu Zilian's abundant money and food, and rich rewards, Yu Zilian took the lead again, and the soldiers of the Ruzhou Army are all locals, and ensuring the peace of the territory adds three points of combat effectiveness, so it is quite smooth as soon as the troops are dispatched.

The bandits in Ruzhou were already frightened by the reclamation business house that caught the displaced people like wild wolves, and Yu Zilian was very clever to take advantage of the opportunity of the Runing army to send troops, and took advantage of the situation to fake the tiger's might, so that those bandits were shrinking from each other, and Yu Zilian's Ruzhou army won three big victories in succession, capturing and seizing considerable personnel and booty.

After that, Yu Zilian began to take advantage of the victory to pursue. He began to sweep from west to east, and he also used a sharp weapon, Zhao'an, to collect all the bandits entrenched in the northern part of Ruzhou.

Among them, Yu Zilian even made some crazy moves, such as entering the enemy camp single-handedly and surrendering. Don't say it, it was Yu Zilian's good luck, and his courageous behavior really shocked many bandits, so the bandits came to vote, and Yu Zilian's Ruzhou army soon swelled to nearly 5,000 people.

By the time Wu Shigong's Runing army arrived at Ruzhou City on June 15, Yu Zilian had already completed the sweep and returned with nearly 5,000 Ruzhou troops and captures. This situation made Wu Shigong dumbfounded, and he thought to himself: "If I stimulate Yu Zilian again in the future." Will he wear his panties backwards and become Superman? ”

"Let Vice President Wu come to the state to see the official!"

"Let Yu Zhizhou come to the camp to see the official!"

At this time, Wu Shigong and Yu Zilian were unwilling to put down their bodies and took the initiative to visit each other.

According to the original deployment of the Runing Army, it will first carry out operations in Ruzhou, and after sweeping away the bandits here, it will immediately speed up and wipe out all the main forces of the bandits in the hinterland of Henan.

However, Yu Zilian acted so actively, although he helped the Runing Army to complete the initial work, but also disrupted the Jihua of the Runing Army. According to the convention, it should be Wu Shigong and Yu Zilian to discuss the situation. The combat deployment was changed to cooperate with the next pacification operation.

But neither of these two enemies was willing to bow their heads. Wu Shigong looked down on Yu Zilian in his heart: his wife became his wife, he himself was beaten into the canal by himself, and he was the magistrate of Ningling County, but he was so empty that he could only count ants every day. Now he wants Wu Shigong to take the initiative to visit Yu Zilian? It's better to save it!

And Yu Zilian finally raised his eyebrows. This success gave Yu Zilian a lot of confidence. But it does. This time, Yu Zilian's suppression of bandits was like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, in his opinion. What's so great about fighting a war? As long as you have the courage. Coupled with his own ability, it's not a piece of cake to be a civil servant of the unified army?

In fact, Yu Zilian is about the same age as Wu Shigong, and he is still an arrogant person in essence. If it weren't for the official position of the county magistrate, it would have been really rare, and Yu Zilian, who was set aside by Wu Shigong, might have been unable to bear his breath and hung up his crown.

In addition, Yu Zilian can be admitted to the Jinshi at such a young age, and he must be a very smart person, so he secretly learned a lot from Ru Ningjun. has tempered his temperament under the torture of Wu Shigong, so it can be said that Yu Zilian is now a little mature and capable.

But no matter how hard he grinds, Yu Zilian is still a young and vigorous person. So in this meeting with Wu Shigong. He strongly adhered to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty's noble and lowly martial arts, and he must Wu Shigong personally come to see him.

So the two of them were at a stalemate, so that Yan Jing, who was talking in the middle, broke his leg. After two days of arguing, the two sides finally gave in and decided to meet outside the south gate of Ruzhou City.

After the meeting, Yu Zilian clearly proposed to Wu Shigong that his Ruzhou army would also join the pacification operation. Yu Zilian just wants to let this former rival in love take a look, he is also very capable, and he can pull up a "strong army" in just three months, so that Wu Shigong, a martial artist, will no longer feel embarrassed by the number of soldiers in his hands.

Of course, Wu Shigong is indispensable for Yu Zilian's proposal, and he can't stop Yu Zilian's actions anyway. Besides, there are people who are willing to share the task of pacification for themselves, and Wu Shigong can't ask for it.

But since Yu Zilian is so active, Wu Shigong of course has to sing the opposite. He pointed out that Yu Zilian's Ruzhou Army had not received any military training at all. If Yu Zilian also participates in this operation, then instead of being able to help, it will increase the burden on Wu Shigong's Runing Army, so please don't come to cause chaos and let him stay in Ruzhou City obediently and accept the protection of the Runing Army!

When Wu Shigong said this, the tone and demeanor he performed vividly showed his deep contempt for Yu Zilian, so he immediately angered Yu Zilian. Yu Zilian immediately blushed and argued with Wu Shigong with a thick neck.

Wu Shigong pretended to argue, but Zuihou pretended to be "helpless" and accepted Yu Zilian's proposal, and gave Yu Zilian a piece of the area of Pingjing, and promised that his firm guards would also guard and capture Yu Zilian's Ruzhou army.

Anyway, in addition to pacifying the Henan region, the main goal of the Runing Army's expedition this time was to recruit displaced people and increase manpower for the reclamation of commercial houses, so it was enough to have those prisoners.

As for Yu Zilian to grab credit, then let him go! Anyway, Wu Shigong has never deliberately pursued credit, as long as his Runing army gets benefits.

Looking at Yu Zilian's smug face when he left, Wu Shigong couldn't help but scold with a secret smile: "This pen! ”

On 19 June, the Runing Army and the Ruzhou Army marched eastward by two routes, north and south. Before leaving, he discussed with Governor Xuan Mo to attack at the same time and squeeze the bandits in the hinterland of Henan.

At this time, he received a military report from Xuan Mo: Shaanxi's 3,000 Ming army was defeated, and the deputy commander-in-chief Ai Wannian was killed. But this battle report did not attract anyone's attention, because Shaanxi is still too far away from here, and Ai Wannian's fame is not second to none among the Ming generals.

On 20 June, the main force of the Runing Army abandoned the slow-moving Ruzhou Army and the escort of the commercial firms, and immediately accelerated overnight and galloped towards the bandit gathering point in the hinterland of Henan. (To be continued......)
