Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 384 Second brother, I have saved a way out for you (please subscribe!)

...

Although there was a good road opened by the white army, Li Yan still suffered a lot of crimes over the mountains and mountains.

fine--

Li Yan came to Jinning Prefecture City without any surprise or danger.

After being welcomed into the city by Niu Wenzhong and others, Li Yan went straight to the point and said, "I will take over Jinning Fucheng in an all-round way. Do you have any opinions?"

"This……"

Niu Wenzhong hesitated!
Seeing it, Li Yan said: "I have helped you defend the Jinning Mansion, and it's time to retreat. Zonger, hand over the defense to Shumi Niu, let's retreat."

Hearing that Li Yan said he was leaving, Niu Wenzhong was shocked!

Not to mention that the [-] elite troops brought by Li Yan can at least match their [-] Jin troops, but the morale boosted by Li Yan personally bringing [-] troops to aid is immeasurable.

If Li Yan withdrew at this time, Jinning Prefecture might not be able to hold on for a day, and it would be breached.

Therefore, Niu Wenzhong hurriedly said: "Niu Wenzhong and the entire Jinning Mansion are willing to accept the command of the Governor!"

With Niu Wenzhong taking the lead, Wang Yuan and the others also said afterwards: "We are willing to accept the command of the Commander-in-Chief!"

Li Yan looked at Niu Wenzhong and the others, and said, "It's not because I'm greedy for this command, but if we can't form a unified command, this Jinning Mansion will never be defended."

Niu Wenzhong and others also know that the unknown commander is a taboo for military strategists to win.

Furthermore, based on Li Yan's status and achievements, even if Tian Hu is here, Li Yan is the undisputed commander, let alone Tian Hu is not here yet.

Therefore, Li Yan took over the Jinning Mansion without much effort.

After a hasty handover, Li Yan led people to inspect the Jinning Mansion.

For one thing, it's soothing.

Secondly, Li Yan really has to study carefully how to keep the Jinning Mansion.

Standing on the city wall and watching the Song army gathering below the city, Li Yan didn't turn his head and said, "Han Shizhong, Wu Jie."

Han Shizhong and Wu Jie saluted and said, "The young general is here!"

Li Yan said: "If I let you two guard this city, will you two have the confidence to defend it?"

Han Shizhong was overjoyed and said: "The young general is willing to issue a military order. If he can't keep it, he will be punished by the governor!"

Wu Jie was also overjoyed, and said: "If you can't keep it, the young general will bring his head up to see the governor!"

After glancing at Han Shizhong, Wu Jie bowed again: "I don't know who is in charge of the two of us?"

Li Yandao: "With the two city gates as the boundary, the east half of the city is guarded by you Wu Jie, the west half of the city is guarded by Han Shizhong, this gate is guarded by you Wu Jie, and the other gate is guarded by Han Shizhong."

Han Shizhong bowed and said: "The young general requests to switch with Commander Wu to guard this city gate!"

Wu Jie also bowed: "Young general doesn't want to trade with Commander Han!"

Everyone in the First Army could tell that the governor liked Han Shizhong and Wu Jie.

Of course, the generals who the governor likes are not only Han Shizhong and Wu Jie, but also Liu Kai, Wang Yan, Zhang Xian and others.

However, in the eyes of the members of the First Army, Han Shizhong and Wu Jie were the favorites of the governor.

Don't you see, during this expedition, Liu Kai, Wang Yan, Zhang Xian and others were all left by the governor in Shuibo Liangshan to help Yue Fei train soldiers and only brought Han Shizhong and Wu Jie out?

Why?
Isn't it just to give Han Shizhong and Wu Jie a chance to make contributions and promote them?
Facts can also prove this. Even if two acting commanders are responsible for guarding the city, what is it not to give them a chance? As long as the city is well guarded, can the word "generation" on their heads still go away?

Han Shizhong and Wu Jie also saw that the governor was cultivating them, but it was precisely because of this that the two competed everywhere, and they didn't want to lose to each other. After all, the higher you go, the narrower the road, and it is difficult to guarantee the relationship between them in the future. There is no competition, and once you fall behind the opponent, you may fall behind the opponent step by step.

Li Yan glanced at Han Shizhong and Wu Jie, then looked at Niu Wenzhong, and said, "Private Niu, you divide the soldiers and horses and civilian husbands in the city between them equally."

There is no shortage of soldiers in Jinning City, so how could Li Yan use his own people to defend the city?

Yes.

Li Yan is not afraid of fighting, and he also knows that strong troops are made by fighting.

But that was not the time to score. This time it was a duel with an army of more than 50, and he brought in a total of less than 4 horses. Including the navy, it was only close to 5 horses. If you don’t save a little, you may even protect yourself. All power will be lost.

Therefore, Li Yan's plan all along was to assist the Jin army to defend the city, not to help the Jin army defend the city.

Seeing that Han Shizhong and Wu Jie were about 30 years old, both very young generals, Niu Wenzhong was a little worried, and he hesitated!
Li Yan looked at Niu Wenzhong and said: "The first of the three major disciplines of my Liangshan Army, all actions are subject to command. You are not from my Liangshan Army, so I will give you another chance. Don't blame my military law for being ruthless!"

Niu Wenzhong froze. He had heard that Liangshan Army's military laws were extremely strict. Unexpectedly, he was warned after hesitating for a moment, and immediately said: "Yes, I will do it here."

Only then did Li Yan look at Han Shizhong and Wu Jie, and said: "The order of the officer is right, it must be executed, and the wrong one must be implemented. There is no room for bargaining. Similarly, as an officer, you must think carefully before giving an order." , because one of your orders is likely to kill countless Paoze brothers, understand?"

Han Shizhong and Wu Jie said in unison: "The young general understands!"

Li Yandao: "Now that you understand, let's ask the military justice department to lead the ten army sticks to improve your memory, um... Tell the military justice department that you still want to fight, and write down the ten army sticks for now, and execute the punishment when you return to the mountain. "

This time, Han Shizhong and Wu Jie learned to be obedient and obediently obeyed: "Yes."

In the days that followed, Li Yan didn't hear anything about the defense of the city. Even if the Song army attacked the top of the city, Li Yan still didn't go up to take a look.

Regarding this, Niu Wenzhong couldn't help asking why, and Li Yan said: "I'm relieved to have Han Shizhong and Wu Jie on the city wall."

This word later reached the ears of Han Shizhong and Wu Jie, who were overwhelmed with gratitude. Dasheng thought of dying for his confidant, and then defended the city more attentively than before.

Three days later, Li Yan's father-in-law Wu Lide'an led more than 5 troops to help.

Knowing that they were three days late, Wu Lidian was terrified!
Although he is his father-in-law, Li Yan is not at all ambiguous about who is in charge of whom.

In the end, the command of the more than 5 horsemen brought by Ulid'an also belonged to Li Yan.

After getting the command of the more than 5 horses, Li Yan divided these troops into two and handed them over to Han Shizhong and Wu Jie respectively.

Jade can't be crafted, Han Shizhong and Wu Jie definitely lack potential, they only lack the opportunity to practice.

What Li Yan needs to do is to "discover" them and create opportunities for them to practice.

In addition, while defending the Jinning mansion, Li Yan asked Niu Wenzhong and Wu Lide'an to send a message to Tian Hu: "Second brother, I have left you a way out."
