Chapter 2085 The Guizi Juan crowd gathered together and threw a whip to cut off the flow.

Qi Yongtai was right. Feng Ziying did not expect much support or guidance from him or the court. When their "support" or guidance came, the day lily was cold.

In this situation, all he can do is to make a decisive decision and resolve the crisis at hand by any means or at any cost.

Whether you win over, bribe, divide, provoke internal strife, or drive away tigers and devoure wolves, as long as you can weaken and disintegrate these rebels and make these rebels fall into chaos, and then achieve your own goals, everything is worth it. of.

Looking at Wang Chengwu taking the lead and participating in training tirelessly, Feng Ziying couldn't help but ask Feng You beside him: "Uncle You, how many days have you been in contact with him, what do you think of this person?"

"Others are not very good, but there is a sense of ruthlessness." Feng You said calmly: "I have learned that, to put it nicely, he is a ranger, but to put it badly, he is a scoundrel, but he is very loyal, so he is popular. This is also true. It can be regarded as an advantage, but his foundation is too poor, his archery and horse skills are average, and his martial arts skills are average. He can't pass ten moves under Li Guibao. Of course, fighting in battle is different from fighting alone in the arena, so he can barely pass the test, but he is not familiar with military strategy and military affairs. Injury,…”

“But I see that he studies seriously,...” Feng Ziying looked at Feng You calmly.

Feng You sighed, "Ziying, if you really want to cultivate talents in the army, you have done a good job in the past. Zuo Liangyu, He Huchen, and Yang Zhaoji are not very old. Isn't He Renlong under my command? Have you been good friends since childhood? These people can be cultivated easily, why do you need to look for people among this gang of rebels? "

Feng Ziying shook her head: "Uncle You, it's different. Firstly, Kunshan, Huchen and Taichu are still in other places, but I will definitely have a lot of wars in Shaanxi in the next two years, and I can't wait; secondly, the Shaanxi rebel army is so huge, The imperial court did not give me a clear strategy, so I could only follow my own path, simultaneously suppressing and pacifying. But how can we digest these tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of rebellious troops and civilians? It is necessary to eliminate the waste and retain the elite. , then there must be several leaders in charge, whether it is a mule or a horse, pulled out for a walk, with rewards and punishments, survival of the fittest, just like my father selected soldiers in Qingyang, the winner will go to the Central Plains to fight, and enjoy good food and drink. , the loser rolled back to the side wall and squatted, and no one had anything to say."

 Feng You looked at the young man he had watched grow up since he was a child, and sighed in his heart.

After all, he has grown up and has his own ideas, and he is not willing to just follow the governor's wishes. Moreover, he is a civil servant, so naturally his ideas are different from those of the governor.

 The governor of Shaanxi is a powerful man who must obey orders in both military and political affairs. He is indeed qualified to do things according to his own ideas.

 “But if you get rid of the bad and keep the good, the rest will be a disaster.” Feng You lowered his voice.

"Of course I won't stay in Shaanxi. The border border may not necessarily be in Shaanxi. If the weather in Nanyang is too hot and you can't adapt to it, Dongfan and Ezo are very suitable." Feng Ziying said nonchalantly: "I only want a good army, no Those who rely on training, there is no time, but have to fight, or they can survive by fighting each other. More than 100,000 people are too many, and even half of them are too many. It doesn’t matter who wins and who loses, of course. , the premise is that you must be loyal to me.”

Feng Ziying did not shy away from these things in front of Feng You.

Feng You's heart trembled, and he thought for a moment before saying: "The three Wang Chengwu brothers are quite powerful in this army. They are enough now, but if they want to meet your expectations, they are still far from it. Wang Chengwu has an unruly and ruthless personality. There is a certain atmosphere, but there are many such people in troubled times..."

"Uncle You, I don't expect Wang Chengwu to be able to build Wang Chengwu who I can't reach for the time being. Then I will give him a chance. If he can't grasp it, someone will naturally replace him. But after all, he is the first one to join me after I came to Shaanxi. , so I will give him enough opportunities to see how he fares."

Feng Ziying's words made Feng You finally nod, "Well, it's just that the time is too short, and no matter how hard it is, what can you do if you train for three to five days? I am no stranger to the people in Boyan Village, Baitang Village, and Datu Falcon Village. Most of those who dare to come out are deserters and rebels from Yulin Town, and maybe those Mongolian horse thieves who escaped into the border wall. Their fighting ability is not bad. Wang Chengwu and the others are no match. I think it will be difficult to defend Wubao City."

“That’s not necessarily the case.” Feng Ziying smiled, and Feng You was startled, “Brother Keng, do you want those Shanxi merchants to give them firecrackers?”

"It's too late to give them fire guns. Besides, the training time is short, it will take at least a month before they can go into battle, right?" Feng Ziying shook her head: "How can people like Boyan Village and Baitang Village stay in Yiheyi City for a month? ?Although the people of Boyan Village and Baitang Village are not bad at fighting, and now they have tens of thousands of rebel troops from all over the country, they seem to be very powerful, but don’t you hear the story of how the 800,000-strong army of Fu Jian was defeated in one day? To be defeated by such a bloated and complex team, without the ability to command, but to try to integrate such a mixed team is to bring disaster upon oneself."

Seeing that Feng Ziying was confident, Feng You secretly praised him. Compared with his father, Feng Ziying was more confident and determined, while his father was known as "stable".

Seeing that Feng Ziying didn't mention how to fight the next battle, Feng You didn't ask. During this period, a group of his men were assigned to join Wang Chengwu's army. Although these soldiers may not all be qualified officer materials, as basic training But it was more than enough. While quickly training Wang Chengwu according to the model of the border army, he also gave this army the Feng family's brand.

If it had been anyone else, he might not have agreed, but Wang Chengwu gave his full support. On the one hand, there were already many people from Wailing Tianqi who were not convinced by him, so Feng You and others joined in to replace him. His training was actually to help him digest and integrate. Secondly, he sincerely wanted to hug Feng Ziying's thick legs, so naturally he had to show his loyalty.

The reason why Feng Ziying valued him was because of his ability to know when to advance and retreat and his ruthlessness.

Such an army that is still slowly taking shape will definitely not be enough to fight against the people of Boyan Village and Baitang Village. However, Feng Ziying did not expect to fight the enemy openly. Liu Dingfeng and Wang Chenghu went to find Big Rabbit Falcon Village and Boluo Village. Si Zhai is one aspect, and there are also people from Baiyun Mountain who have entered Yiheyi City who also have to play a role.

 The results of Liu Dingfeng and Wang Chenghu's visit to Big Rabbit Falcon Village and Boluosi Village did not exceed Feng Ziying's expectations.

“So, these two families still want to wait and see, and their attitude is ambiguous?” Feng Ziying carefully inserted the bamboo stick in her hand into the soil, clapped her hands, and asked.

"This should be the meaning. Boyan Village and Baitang Village occupy a dominant position in the Yiheyi City Alliance. In addition, many rebel troops had joined the second village before, which greatly increased the strength of Boyan Village and Baitang Village, and also made Big Rabbit Falcon People in Boyan Village and Boluosi Village have become suspicious, and some are worried that if they go, they will be coerced by people from Boyan Village and Baitang Village, and they want to maintain their independence."

Liu Dingfeng's answer made Feng Ziying sneer, "After all, I still want to wait and see. You and Wang Chenghu have gone to talk. What is their attitude towards Wang Chengwu?"

“They don’t know much about it, but they probably think that Wang Chengwu is ambitious and wants to get rich by waving the flag in anger.” Liu Dingfeng thought hard, “Maybe they also have some suspicions that Wang Chengwu has colluded with the government, but they are not sure.”

"What do you think the Boyan Village and Baitang Village people will do next?" Feng Ziying is now a little unsure about what the group of people who have been stranded in Yiheyi City and have not moved eastward are waiting for. It seems that everyone should be swarming in with high flags of justice, taking advantage of the situation to capture Wubao and obtain food and supplies.

"My subordinates feel that they will advance eastward soon. If they don't move, I'm afraid they won't be able to control the situation and will blow themselves up." Liu Dingfeng said with certainty: "Before, they wanted to wait until Big Rabbit Falcon Village and Boluo Temple Village were destroyed. People came together, but now the people in Big Rabbit Falcon Village and Boluo Temple Village refused to take the bait, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the bait themselves. However, although these more than 10,000 people were a mob, many ants killed the elephants, and The combined strength of Boyan Village, Baitang Village and several other villages from the side of the border wall is enough to take down Wubao City. The people and soldiers in the city cannot withstand it, nor can Wang Chengwu's men."

Just when Feng Ziying and Liu Dingfeng were guessing how long the Yihe Yicheng gang planned to delay, Modlen and Qiu Zixiong, who had spent a lot of effort, finally managed to complete the mess of more than 10,000 people. The unification of the army staggered eastwards.

It was only more than 70 miles from Yiheyi City to Wubao County. However, when the assembled rebel army marched towards Wubao in a chaotic manner, they only walked 20 miles on the first day before camping and resting.

The news fed back is also very complicated. On the one hand, there are signs of internal strife becoming increasingly fierce. On the other hand, Modlen, relying on the support of Qiu Zixiong and other villages, still firmly holds the leadership, and others can only obey.

The only reason why they can stay united and still have some fighting spirit is that Wubao City is right in front of them. If they capture Wubao City, the massive amount of food and materials in the city will give them ample rewards.

“Can we have a sneak attack?” Feng Ziying stood on the top of the city and looked to the west, asking thoughtfully.

"We have too few cavalry, less than 200, and Modren is still very cautious. He carefully divides the troops in their villages and the rebels in other places into two sections, and also sends out a lot of scouts, so it is difficult to achieve the goal. ." Feng You shook his head, "More than 10,000 troops can't be defeated by this kind of sneak attack, especially since Modlen has already been prepared..."

The people and soldiers have been mobilized urgently, but the number is indeed limited, and the walls of Wubao City are too short. Facing an army that is several times larger than our own, a charge may be enough to sweep them down. This is what Feng Ziying is most troubled about. , should we bring in the two armies Wang Chengwu and Gu Xiuzhong to defend the city?
