Zhao Ran asked the two newly recruited guards: "Who is this Zeng Ruming?

"The abbot's banner is waving on the river, and the Quartet responds, which is common sense. The last general thought that if there was an abbot holding high the banner of righteousness, people from all sides would inevitably follow, and the commander should be the same. ”

"Yes, the last general also thought that the abbot could see it, and the last general heard that when the commander of the 3,000 battalions entered the city to rebel, he commanded the envoy to bring people to stop it, but unfortunately it was not successful. ”

Zhao Ran accepted the advice, returned to the gate of Jinghai Temple, and saw this round ball-like Zeng commander. Don't look at the commander who has made him fat, his actions are not clumsy at all, he is extremely flexible and scurries forward, holding the corner of Zhao Ran's clothes and bowing down, and the five commanders behind him knelt on the ground neatly, and I don't know how many times he practiced.

So, Zhao Ran received five more battalion sergeants, and under the strong expectation of the former commander, he assigned them to the battalions in the garrison defense area and waited for orders. Therefore, he commanded a solemn deployment order, requiring the commanders of all battalions of this division to enter the camp in an orderly manner according to the camp divided by Abbot Zhao, be fully alerted, practice day and night, and wait for the next general attack order.

It's as if they had conjured it out of thin air.

As a result, Zhao Ran had another former commander by his side, and he began to plan military affairs for him diligently.

In fact, what Zhao Ran wants to incorporate the most is the right middle battalion of the five military camps stationed in Yifengmen in front of him, but unfortunately this guy is a wall grass, and it doesn't matter if the wall grass is wavering, Zhao Ran has always believed in the use of talents in an eclectic way, and has no contempt for the wall grass, especially this is not a national war.

However, when the grass on the wall swayed too much, it was also difficult to make it, and the battalion commander at the head of the city always wavered, and after Hu Dashun personally led the two battalion sergeants to reinforce, he missed the best opportunity. In order to prevent the big trees of Lion Mountain and Hydrangea Mountain outside Yifeng Gate from being burned, Zhang Luo had to put away his goodwill and send troops to climb the mountain. In order to prevent the destruction of the streets and alleys and houses under the city gate, the soldiers were pushed directly under the wall, which was regarded as a tense atmosphere of confrontation between the two armies and sabre-rattling.

In the evening, Zhao Ran actually saw Shi Weiming, the head of the household department, in the Jinghai Temple.

This Shi Weiming didn't know that Zhao Ran didn't know before, a small head of the household department, and a family of the court, stretching his neck can't reach a high-level like Zhao Ran, not to mention Zhao Ran's background and travel, the level of a ten-sided jungle province and three capitals makes Shi Weiming out of reach.

But three months ago, the beautiful operation of the household department Shangshu Ganshu made Zhao Ran know this little six-grade official. Gan Shutong admitted in private, saying that he did ask the household department to pay for the renovation of Jingshi Street at that time, but was stopped by Shi Weiming, and he suggested that Gan Shutong pay the money himself, and not much, pledged 1,000 taels, and buried a big hole. Sure enough, Shi Weiming found an opportunity to confide in Yang Yiqing about the matter, so he set off a wave of impeachment of Gan Shutong, pushing Gan Shutong's personal reputation to a peak.

If it weren't for a series of subsequent changes, Gan Shutong would have entered the cabinet from this. Therefore, Zhao Ran still admires this person very much. As for some people saying that Shi Weiming betrayed his teacher Yang Yiqing in order to meet his boss, Zhao Ran did not think this was a big problem, and the "students" who were pointed out with his eyes closed during the imperial examination could be called students?

Looking at Shi Weiming, who was the same age as himself, Zhao Ran didn't see any deep scheming, no old spicy wrists, in fact, he also saw a fat man. The fat man squinted his eyes and asked his entourage to open two large boxes, which were full of snowflake official silver, a full 10,000 taels!

"The household department prepared 100,000 taels of silver for the army to enter Beijing to quell the rebellion, this is the first batch, and it was first sent by the lower officials, please ask the abbot to smile. Lord Gan said that the grain and rice in the abundant warehouse in the west of the city were also supplied to the army openly, and he also asked the abbot to send a grain officer to go with the lower officials to inspect it. ”

Zhao Ran nodded: "Gan Shangshu has a heart, and everyone in the household department has worked hard." ”

He was more interested in how Shi Weiming took the two large boxes of official silver out of the city, and asked, Shi Weiming immediately smiled: "Today, the abbot's banner has just been erected, and everyone in the city is excited, and I don't know how many people want to go out of the city to work in the army, the lower officials can say unceremoniously, the thirteen gates of the capital, except for the Yifeng Gate and the Qingliang Gate, Zhongfu Gate, and Shence Gate near the left, the remaining nine gates, the lower officials can enter and exit at will, and no one dares to stop them." ”

After chatting for a while, Zhao Ran asked Zhang Luo to find the grain officer to receive, and when the grain officer saw Shi Weiming, he immediately respectfully called the teacher, it turned out that during the Battle of White Horse Mountain, the young Shi Weiming, as a member of the household department, took the initiative to ask to go to the White Horse Mountain to serve in front of the army, and spent half a year to master the law of money and grain in the army, and then became an expert proficient in money and grain for half a year.

Zhao Ran pondered for a moment and said: "I see, I have a mixed army here, and the battalion number is complicated, and it all depends on the cattle to support it, I'm afraid that there will be some shortcomings, can the Lord stay and help me?"

Shi Weiming said with a smile: "It is said that the abbot will speak, and the lower officials will never dare to resign, but Shi Mou has a word that he doesn't know whether to say or not." ”

"The principal does not need to be polite, and has something to say. ”

"The hearts of the people in the city are floating, looking forward to the abbot as long as he looks forward to the rain, as long as the abbot orders, the short is half a day, the late is a day, the city will be broken, so the time is dispensable. But the abbot Shicai also said that the battalion numbers in the army are complicated, they are not subordinate to each other, and the orders are not consistent. ”

This is to persuade Zhao Ran to enter the army as soon as possible, Zhao Ran nodded: "Poor Dao understands, thank you for your advice." ”

Shi Weiming's point of view is actually the same as Zhang Luo's plan for using troops in the general direction, that is, a quick victory, and there must be no confrontation inside and outside the city, and the longer the confrontation, the more unfavorable it will be to the guest army.

The main forces that can fight, Longtanwei and Wuchangwei, are guest troops, and Liu Wenlong, Li Sanhu and Zeng Commander, who can be called the main army, are out-and-out local snakes, but it is impossible to expect them to attack the city. Without the battle array armor, not to mention whether they can fight hard with the well-equipped battalion heads in the city, if they really fight, they can't even get close to the city wall.

Zhao Ran's positioning for them is just waving the flag and shouting when the war starts, and when they enter the city, they will help maintain order.

Shi Weiming returned to the city and brought Zhao Ran's message to Gan Shutong, and not long after he left, Yan Shifan arrived at Jinghai Temple.

Yan Shifan said that as the champion of the Yellow Crown Group of the Cultivation Ball Competition, he was very saddened by the suspension of the competition, and he also went to the Purple Mountain Incense Burner Xuan and the Great Cultivation Stadium many times to check the loss, for which he was willing to donate 10,000 taels of silver to do his best for the resumption of the competition.
