The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 434 Sending troops to Fuzhou
Now that he had made up his mind, Mu Xu no longer looked forward and backward, and called Zhu Wu, Le He and two people to ask for their opinions on this matter that night.

After hearing Mu Xu's plan, Zhu Wu said worriedly, "Village Master, I heard that the Zhe family has lived in the frontier fortress for a long time, and his son Lang is quite powerful. It may be difficult to subdue them."

Le He also said, "Yes, what Zhu Junjun said is right. Right now, Liangshan occupies more than half of the east of the river. In order to prevent the government from counterattacking, we must send troops to garrison everywhere. If we go to conquer Fuzhou, we will have insufficient troops."

Mu Xu replied, "Your concerns are naturally very reasonable, but I also have reasons why I have to act like this."

To the two people in front of him, he had nothing to hide, so he immediately told him bluntly, "I have received a definite report that next year when the summer and autumn handover, Liao will personally recruit Jurchen, and I heard that many elite soldiers from You Yun will be mobilized. "

The eyes of both of them brightened when they heard the words, this is great news!Lehe was still young after all, and couldn't help but ask, "Is the news of brother accurate?"

Mu Xu didn't explain the source of the news, but said, "It should be close to ten."

Zhu Wu's reaction was quick, and he already figured out why Mu Xu chose to attack Zhejia at this juncture.

"Since this is the case, the threat from Fuzhou must be lifted, otherwise, once our soldiers go out to fight against Youyun, we will be taken from the rear, and the consequences will be disastrous."

Mu Xu nodded and said, "It was with this in mind that I ordered Brother Yang Zhi to go to Zhejia as an envoy. Who would want Zhejia to work for Zhao Song wholeheartedly, then I can only do something wrong."

"Brother, you can think about it, who will lead the army this time, and how many troops will they bring?"

"I will go there myself, all I need is [-] cavalry."

Hearing this, Zhu Wu and Le He unanimously objected, and the reasons they gave were similar, they felt that Mu Xu's move was very arrogant and there was a risk of rash advances.

But Mu Xu said, "Don't bother to persuade me anymore, I've made up my mind. I didn't intend to capture Fuzhou this time, but I just wanted to force the Zhe family to bow their heads. If I send someone else, it will be difficult to grasp it." scale."

Seeing Mu Xu's firm attitude, Zhu Wu had no choice but to retreat and said, "Then why not bring a few generals to guard the side, so as to be safe."

Mu Xu couldn't be bothered to refute the good intentions of the two, so he agreed, "Alright, just Wu Song, Lu Junyi, and Yang Zhi will accompany you, plus Luan Tingyu who is stationed in Baode, these four people are enough."

After finalizing the matter, Mu Xu immediately told the two of them the real reason for calling them here tonight,
"I recruited the two brothers not just for the prefecture's affairs, but mainly because I wanted to discuss with you about the preparations for recovering Youyun."

The two stood up at the same time and said, "Please tell the village master!"

Mu Xu helped the two of them up, let them sit down again, and then said the plan he had thought up in advance,

"From tomorrow onwards, Brother Zhu will be responsible for preparing the supplies needed for the war, while Brother Le and Brother will be in charge of the training of new recruits and changing defenses with veterans.

If anyone needs to cooperate, I allow you to call it yourself.But do remember one thing, this matter must be done in private, and no rumors should be leaked. "

After the two agreed, Mu Xu then explained some details, and after confirming that there was no problem, he asked the two to go back and rest without mentioning it.

Three days later, Mu Xu led an army of [-] horses with great fanfare, and left the west gate of Taiyuan with great fanfare, heading northwest.

On the way, Wu Song, who was accompanying Mu Xu, saw that the march was slow and powerful, so he couldn't help but wondered,

"Brother, we are all horsemen this time. We should pay attention to the speed and surprise of our soldiers. Why did my brother send an order to slow down the army and make a fuss?"

Mu Xu smiled without saying a word, and asked Lu Junyi and Yang Zhidao, "Who of you two knows the reason, why don't you explain it to Erlang?"

Although Lu Junyi is very famous in the world, but in the end he is just a local gentry, how can he answer this question?

On the contrary, Yang Zhi's family has a long history, and he has studied the ancestral art of war hard since he was a child. Even if he didn't learn it very well, he has insight after all, so after thinking for a while, he gave the answer.
"Brother, don't you want to lure Zhe's family out of the city to fight in the field?"

Mu Xu applauded, "Only half of what you say is right, what about the other half?"

Yang Zhi shook his head, and sincerely asked for advice, "Forgive me for my lack of talent and learning, and I hope my brother can give me some pointers."

Mu Xu did not answer this question, but instead took the opportunity to teach the Three Ways,
"In the future, you will inevitably lead the army alone one day, so before each battle, it is best to confirm whether the purpose of this battle is for the city's territory or to kill the enemy's vitality.

In this way, a better battle plan can be formulated.Take this time as an example, what is our purpose? "

Lu Junyi immediately replied, "Brother wants to force the Zhe family to surrender."

Mu Xu smiled and said, "That's right, this time the troops were sent out just to subdue Zhejia, not to capture Fuzhou. Otherwise, why would I bring only [-] cavalry?"

Seeing that the three of them were thoughtful, Mu Xu finally talked about Yang Zhi's question.
"The reason why I say that Brother Yang is only half right is that besides luring the enemy into battle, I also want to find an opportunity to gather around for reinforcements. If I can trap a few important people from the Zhe family, then I can force Zhe Ke to seek peace with us." negotiation."

Wu Song was still a little puzzled, "Then how can my brother be sure that the Zhe family will take the initiative to fight? If his family occupies the city and guards Zensheng?"

Mu Xu explained, "I expected that the Zhe family would definitely go to war! First of all, we only have [-] soldiers, and the Zhe family has [-] troops. They have no reason to be afraid of us.

Secondly, Fuzhou is located in the Hetao area, where the land is vast and sparsely populated. Except for the Fuzhou city, the rest are just some Wubao camps. "

After hearing what Mu Xu said, the three of them finally solved their doubts.

After nearly a month of marching like this, the army passed through Lanzhou and entered the territory of Baode Military Prefecture. When it was only [-] miles away from Baode City, Luan Tingyu, who was stationed here, brought people to greet him.

After several people greeted each other, Mu Xu rode his horse to Baode City, and asked Luan Tingyu, "What's the trend of Zhejia recently?"

Luan Tingyu replied, "The Zhe family should have found out the news that my brother is coming. They have been dispatching troops for the past few days. Now there are no less than [-] troops in Fuzhou City alone."

Mu Xu nodded slightly, this was exactly what he wanted to see.Only in this way can Zhejia be subdued at once, so that his family will not dare to make unnecessary small moves in the future.

……

As Luan Tingyu said, the Zhe family had indeed learned that Mu Xu was going to lead the army.

After returning some of the troops stationed abroad, the current Patriarch Zhe Keqiu immediately summoned the clansmen to discuss matters.

At this moment, the main hall of Zhe’s family is full, and Zhe Keqiu is at the top, and his brothers of the same generation sit in turn on the left side of the lower head, Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Kezhi, Zhe Kejiu, Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Ketong and others.

On the right side are outstanding figures of the next generation, such as Orihiko Wen, Orihiko Zhi, Orihiko Shi, and Orihiko Ruo.

Seeing that all the people who should come have come, and they can ask for it without beating around the bush, they immediately cut to the chase, "Let's discuss it, how should we deal with the incident of Liangshan Muxu's crime?"

As the current No. [-] member of the Zhe family, Zhe Kezhi was the first to set the tone, "This person has been in Hedong for less than a year, and he has occupied nearly ten prefectures successively. He is really a rare and powerful person in the world. Those who are not good, we must be careful to deal with it."
