Chapter 306

The weather in the south is not good either, it's humid and cold, and it doesn't feel like this season in previous years.

It's only the tenth day of September. According to previous years, even if it's not too hot in the south at this time, it won't be cold.Maybe it's a comfortable time.

But this year, it's different.

The army stopped in the northwest of Xianzhou City and was about to station here.

The rebel army took control of Xianzhou, and there were not many troops stationed in the city, and this is not a border gate.In addition to the more than 2 people brought by Su Nancheng from Gyeonggi, there are also 1 people transferred from Jialing Mansion by imperial decree, all of which were handed over to Su Nancheng to command.People from Jialing Mansion had arrived a day earlier, waiting for them.

In fact, it can be seen from this that the emperor is really confused. Su Nancheng has no precedent of leading troops to war. He just stayed in the city defense battalion for a few years. How could he lead troops to fight?

Whether it is the commander of the city defense battalion or the newly appointed governor, they are all just officials in the capital.

A military officer is not the same as a person who actually leads troops.

How many people in the court objected because of this, but everyone else is already here.

As soon as the tent was set up, Su Nancheng called all the generals over to discuss matters.

General Qi of the Yuncheng Army is 37 years old, a general from the third rank.General Li, 43, third rank, led the troops from Jialing Mansion.

There are also more than a dozen lieutenants, large and small.

Su Nancheng is the youngest, but he is the chief general.

When everyone arrived, Su Nancheng asked someone to hang up the city defense map of Xianzhou City: "The weather is cold and cold, all generals, drink hot tea first, we can't send troops today. Let's discuss it carefully."

Regardless of what's in their hearts, everyone is still polite on the face.

Niu San and the others brought in hot tea and a stove to ensure that all the generals could drink hot water.

"All the generals are more experienced than Nancheng. Although Nancheng received the imperial decree and won the title of the general who suppressed the chaos, he has never been on the battlefield himself. It is necessary that the generals still need to help." Su Nancheng put his posture at ease when he came up. Low.

Young, with a high official position, a marquis, a good family background, and a high position, who is convinced?
"General Su, don't say that. When the capital fell, I heard that General Su also fought bravely and was seriously injured. How can it be considered that he has never been on the battlefield?" General Yu, General Yuncheng Qi's subordinate, laughed.

Everyone hurriedly chimed in.

Su Nancheng waved his hand: "What's the same? In that situation, not to mention that I'm still working in the city defense battalion, even if I'm just a white man, I should still raise my sword and gun to defend my family and the country. I can't compare to your bravery."

Everyone praised each other and then got down to business.

"Now there is a problem. These 6 people are actually rioters. It's easy for us to get in. What happens after we get in?" Su Nancheng looked at the crowd: "They are all my Dayuan people, and they are also bewitched by those people. Plus now The celestial phenomenon is really weird, so it went astray."

"The general is really kind. It is true that these people are common people. But we must hurt them. If we wanted to appease them from the beginning, I am afraid that we will not be able to eradicate the roots." General Li said.

Su Nancheng nodded, waiting for others to continue.

"The last general also means the same thing, at least the leader must be caught first." General Qi said.

After General Qi said this sentence, he waited for Su Nancheng to speak, but he didn't expect Su Nancheng to wait for him to speak again.

Seeing him stop, Su Nancheng smiled: "It is true that I am not as good as you in leading the army to fight. Now I still have to learn, so you generals just speak freely. As long as it is reasonable, as long as you can win, anyone has the same idea. This general will definitely Lead by example. We all have merit.”

This is to tell them not to take too much care of themselves, and they can't command blindly if they don't understand.

However, the master will be him.It's best not to overwhelm everyone.

After hearing this, everyone had their own thoughts, but they were relieved that he said that he would not command indiscriminately.

When no one wants to do things with their heads up, there is a boss who doesn't understand anything and comes up with ideas.

This is not an ordinary thing, if not done, the whole army will be wiped out.

Next, Su Nancheng took a learning attitude and listened to the generals' arrangement of how to attack and how to defend.

Everyone agrees that although there are many people in the city, they are all gathered by ordinary people, and it is not a real army after all.

Even if they rob the local arsenal, there are not many weapons in their hands, at most three or four thousand, not to mention that this may not be enough.

So siege is not that difficult.However, if you want to reduce casualties, you must make a lot of preparations.

The first step, of course, is to persuade them to surrender.

"It's easy to say, starting tomorrow, find some loud people to shout inside. Find some good archery, tie up the written paper and shoot into the city. If there is a way to survive, no one will seek death." Su Nancheng said.

"However, the generals are right. If it doesn't hurt, there will be endless troubles after all. When we come here, we can't rush to make meritorious deeds. It will definitely prevent the Peacock Cult from prospering in the future. In addition, there is one more thing."

Su Nancheng said to Wenhu who saved Yuanhui: "Everyone should remember that many years ago, this person led tens of thousands of people to rebel. Later, he was defeated by General Fei Jiu. At that time, General Fei did not take him because of the emergency in the north. Next. This person later organized the present Salvation Society.”

"There are many large and small churches in the south, and I have investigated them a lot in the past few years. The Salvation Church is the most serious church. It is not the same as the Peacock Sect. If you can recruit this person, It is of great benefit to us.”

Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't expect Su Nancheng to mention this person.

Not to mention, this Wenhu is really a famous person.The former anti-thief leader, now the boss of the Salvation Society.

It is not easy for a person who was born as a blacksmith to be where he is today.

"I don't know what the court means?" General Li asked.

"Naturally, I have asked His Majesty what he meant. Wouldn't it be a good thing if such a capable person could be used by the court? It also prevents him from wandering outside and causing disaster." Su Nancheng laughed.

"Speaking of which, we haven't known the name of the leader of the Peacock God Sect these years." General Qi said.

Indeed, there is something to this teaching, they have been mysterious for years.

"It's okay, if we take this city and capture people, we will naturally find out the leader." Su Nancheng said.

"Okay, I've had a hard time driving today, generals, go back. Eat well, drink well and sleep well. Starting tomorrow, we will do big things." Su Nancheng smiled and waved.

Everyone agreed and quit the big tent.

Su Nancheng sat on the main seat, looking sideways at the city defense map.

Cheng Ming followed this time, and now he came in and said, "My lord, the meal is ready."

Su Nancheng originally intended not to bring any servants with him, but before he left, Cheng Ming followed everything he said, saying that there was no one to take care of him in the army.

Su Nancheng had no choice but to ask him to come. Su Nancheng still has a lot of affection for Cheng Ming.If nothing else happens, Cheng Ming will be with him for a long time.
