Songshan City was not far south of the Daling River, Zhou Zheng was light and simple, and crossed the Daling River at the fastest speed and drove into Youtun.
As soon as he entered Youtun, Zu Dashou greeted him and said in a solemn voice as he walked: "Don't worry, I have closed the city in Youtun. No one can go out, and the surrounding walls will be clear. I will never leak the news."
Zu Dashou is a chubby man about 1.7 meters tall, his voice is low, and he has a different and stable general style.
Zhou Zheng gave a hum, glanced at the state of martial law around him, and said: "I brought 15,000 people, all equipment is behind, and they are delivered in batches, and the grain and straw are shipped by sea..."
Zu Dashou raised his head and glanced in front of him, and said more and more in a low voice: "A few people around me are dissatisfied with the court, and they are a little unclear with Jianluo. I can't get evidence. I'll give you your name later. Be careful. "
Zhou Zheng looked indifferent, and said, "My people are very reliable. If you have any arrangements, you can directly order them. Don't say anything else, keep the first place in Youtun!"
There was some smile on Zu Dashou's face, and said: "You, I don't worry, Man Zongbing has explained to me that you are not someone else, you can trust it!"
Zhou Zheng smiled, and at the same time, he noticed that Youtun, which had just been built, reinforced, and heightened, not even half of Jinzhou, and said, "While Jianluo hasn't come, let's hide first and see how the supervisor arranges."
Zu Dashou nodded, and then said: "Well, I have received a letter. The governor has arranged a few reinforcements to support us. Now we have 20,000 troops here. There is no problem supporting them for half a year. If you win, Youtun will be stable."
When the Youtun is stabilized, the situation of Ming and Jianlu will be reversed, offensive and defensive will be changed, not only will it no longer be so passive defense, but there will also be a chance to destroy Jianlu and regain Liaodong!
Zhou Zheng walked into the Youtun Zhengzhong Mansion and said in a low voice: "Leave those who can't move, and all the others will be taken down, and even a trace of suspicion has been caught!"
Zu Dashou was startled, and immediately understood, the urn said: "Okay!"
Zhou Zheng entered the Youtun and could hide it from outsiders, but the people who couldn't hide it from Youtun, I don't know how many people were frightened and frightened.
Another army came in, indicating that they would not withdraw to Jinzhou. Then, would they just wait to die
Others looked at the north with blinking eyes, scratching their heads and wanting to release the news.
Regardless of what these people thought, Zhou Zheng and Zu Dashou quickly discussed the strategy of defending the city, allocated the city gates, arranged a good manpower, and treated them both internally and externally.
When Zhou Zheng arrived at Youtun and was making various preparations, Sun Chengzong finally rushed to Ningyuan.
Qiu Hejia stood in front of him with a calm face, and said: "My lord, I have ordered 10,000 people to help Jinzhou at any time and respond at any time. In addition, Jinzhou City, I also give Man Gui an order to ask him to be prepared. The army. He wrote back and said, Wu Xiang and Song Wei have ordered 15,000 people and are ready to reinforce..."
Sun Chengzong’s slender face was indifferent, and he looked at Qiu Hejia: “We still have time. The pontoon bridges over the Linghe River must be built, and food will be delivered to Youtun quickly to ensure that you will not lose it. The emperor has sent me a letter, In any case, I can't be cowardly, I have to deal heavy damage to Jianke like the last time!"
Qiu Jiahe looked solemnly, and said, "Don't worry, your lord, you will definitely go all out!"
Sun Chengzong stood up and said: "Okay! You sit in Ningyuan, I go to Jinzhou, it is a matter of our country's social plan, who dares to slack off, I will ask Shangfang Baojian, cut first and then play!"
Qiu Hejia's eyes flashed coldly, and he said solemnly: "Yes!"
Sun Chengzong didn't say much, he arranged some personnel arrangements and hurriedly set off to Jinzhou.
Youtun.
As soon as July 10th, Zhou Zheng's artillery from the road and sea to Youtun arrived one after another.
Standing on the north gate, Zu Dashou touched the thick and cold iron cannon, and said: "This is a good thing. I saw Master Yuan used it before. It was originally extremely rare. I didn't expect you to get it. With this thing. It’s okay to guard him for half a year!"
This time, Zhou Zheng didn't hide it again, but brought sixty artillery pieces and placed them at the second gate in the northwest.
Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "I'm just lending it to you, but I will pay it back afterwards."
Zu Dashou knew that this thing was valuable, touched it, his expression was still in his hand, he was about to move, for a while, he sighed: "You civil servants are good fortune, so there are so many relationships, unlike us warriors, except for the occasional squeeze between the teeth of the court. I can't even see the things that come out..."
Zhou Zheng didn’t care about the grievances of his ancestor’s birthday. He looked to the north and felt the heat, and said: "Soon, we will have some hard work. If we can’t say it’s impossible, we won’t be able to go back. So, if we can survive, I will give Twenty of you."
Zu Dashou opened his small eyes and said in surprise: "Really?"
Twenty gates, less than ten thousand taels of silver!
"Really." Zhou Zheng said: "Tianjin Wei has a military bureau, which is much cheaper to make, not that expensive..."
"Then give me twenty more?" Zu Dashou looked at Zhou Zhengdao hopefully.
Zhou Zheng rolled his eyes and turned to leave.
Zu Dashou hurriedly said: "Then fifteen gates, hey, don't be so stingy, sixty gates, fifteen gates are not too many, we are going to live together and die together, so what does it mean to give more benefits..."
Before Zu Dashou finished speaking, a soldier above the city gate suddenly ran over and said anxiously: "My lord, there is a situation, the scout sent back information, Jianli is here!"
Zu Dashou's conversation stopped abruptly, turning his head to look at the soldier who reported the letter, and said solemnly, "You mean it?"
As expected before, Jianlu came to Youtun in this way at the beginning of August. It is only in mid-July, and Jianlu came half a month earlier!
"It's true! It will be there in half a day at the latest!" The soldier said in a panic.
Zu Dashou did not speak, turned his head and looked at Zhou Zheng with a condensed expression.
Zhou Zheng knew that Jianlu knew the news was leaking, so he speeded up and said: "We have a meeting and at the same time pass a letter to the supervisor."
Zu Dashou nodded his head and walked quickly to the palace with Zhou Zheng and called the generals to discuss.
Zu Dashou's deputy, He Kegang looked flustered, and said: "My lord, Jianlu came early. We are not fully prepared yet. How can this be done?"
The preparations He Kegang said were not only about the mobilization of the army, but also about the grain and grass, and the reinforcements of Jinzhou and Sun Chengzong's arrangements were not yet in place.
Cao Bianjiao turned towards Zhou Zheng and Zu Dashou who were sitting on the main seat, saying: "Our food and grass are only halfway there, and the army of 30,000 can only last for three months at most."
Zu Dashou said: "How is the preparation of the reinforcements in Jinzhou?"
He Kegang said, "The Manchu Commander wrote a letter before saying that they are ready."
Zu Dashou was a little relieved. Just about to speak, Meng Hezhou suddenly stepped forward, glanced at the crowd, came to Zhou Zheng, and whispered in his ear: "Qiu Hejia took over Songshan City under the pretext of the emergency of the war. "
Zhou Zheng raised his brows and his eyes were cold.
Qiu Hejia took over Songshan City at this time. It seemed that there was no problem, but Songshan City was strong and did not have enough defensive capabilities. If the prisoners stepped on the Daling River and Jinzhou City could not be attacked, Songshan City would be the first to bear the brunt. Would people really go to such a dangerous place at all costs
Unless, have ulterior motives!
Zhou Zheng pondered for a moment, and said: "Are our things safe to hide?"
Meng Hezhou said: "The important things are tightly hidden, but as long as some things are put out to make a fuss, I am afraid that there will be no way to be good."
Many things about Zhou Zheng seem to have excuses, but they are all over the'limit'. If they make trouble to the court, they can easily kill Zhou Zheng with the power of the officials.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Zheng said, "Don't care about this, let's talk about it after repelling Jianlu."
These words did not deliberately conceal the ancestor's longevity. He Kegang and others listened to a general idea, but there was no head or tail, and they looked dumbfounded.
Zu Dashou asked Xiang Zhou Zheng, "What's the problem?"
Zhou Zheng took a deep breath and said, "Governor Qiu has taken over Songshan City. Leave this alone and prepare for the war."
