A quarter of an hour later.
The two guards under Zhang Xun's command hurriedly knocked on the door and walked into Zhang Guo's house carrying a brand-new red lacquer food box.
Hearing that it was so late, Uncle Zhongcheng even sent someone to bring him food, Zhang Guo was obviously a little puzzled while being moved.
Because although he and Zhang Kui are Zhang Xun's cousins, since the two of them defected to Zhang Xun and served under his account, although Zhang Xun has no lack of invisible care, he has not publicly regarded the two as nephews in his later life.
In Zhang Xun's eyes, the two are first generals, and then relatives.
And in this national crisis, even his cousin, since he served in the army, it was no different from other generals.
To be fair, Zhang Xun did not promote the two too much.
It's just that Suiyang's subordinates see that they are Zhang Xun's relatives, so they can't help but "look up to them" and "give three points of courtesy".
Of course, after all, Zhang Xun is a human being, not a god, and has the same concept of family affection as ordinary people, which objectively promotes and creates the arrogant and arrogant temperament of the two Zhang Guo brothers.
The two pro-soldiers didn't say anything, put down the food box and left.
After the two pro-soldiers left, Zhang Guo ordered Congren to open the food box, and this opening, whether it was Congren or Zhang Guo, their faces changed suddenly.
There was no exquisite food in the food box, but the head of a bloody human head, the third child's eyes were wide open, and his lips were open, which made people strongly perceive his emotions of fear and remorse at that time.
From the person screamed, he almost vomited on the spot.
Zhang Guo's lips trembled, he slowly lowered his head and turned his back.
After a long time, he waved his hand weakly and said weakly: "Carry it out, bury it" Zhang Guo knew very well in his heart that this was Zhang Xun's stern warning to himself.
His small actions behind his back did not escape Zhang Xun's hole, which has touched Zhang Xun's bottom line, if he doesn't restrain himself, he will be the one who will be cut off next time.
Zhang Guo knows the ruthlessness and hardness of his cousin's uncle and his almost madness to be loyal to state affairs and the imperial court.
For a whole night, he didn't sleep peacefully, and all that appeared in front of him was the hideous and bloody face of the third child, as well as Zhang Xun's serious and murderous eyes.
Five watches.
Out-of-town school grounds.
More than 100 cavalry under the command of Li Biao and Li Hu led by the Modao Army, and the 400 spear cavalry drawn from the Nanjiyun Cavalry Battalion were neatly arrayed, waiting for Kong Sheng's review and order to go out with a serious expression in the dawn of dawn.
Kong Sheng is still the familiar white clothes and bright armor of the Suiyang defenders, covered with a black coat, holding his unique Fangtian painting halberd, with a longbow on his back, a broken sword at his waist, and a horse galloping over slowly.
Mu Changfeng was dressed in white, and the three brothers of Lei Tingjin and Nan Yong, the only son of Nan Jiyun, were all in armor, and followed majestically on horseback.
Kong Sheng stopped the horse in front of the team, put Fang Tian's halberd across the horse, stared at everyone, and his voice was clear and distant: "Brothers, today, we swear to go out and raid Yongqiu.
Many people don't understand why I want to attack Yongqiu, thinking that Kong is incapable and only talks on paper, and even laughs at me for taking you to death."
"Suiyang's grain and grass can only last us for a few months.
So, what will we do in a few months, we will starve to death in Suiyang City, or we will simply abandon the city and run away?"
"At present, the rebels have greatly reduced their defensive line, and most of the more than 10,000 defenders of Yongqiu have been transferred to retreat to the Guanluo line, and Yongqiu has only 2,000 defenders.
Moreover, there is a large amount of grain and grass hoarded by the rebels in Yongqiu City, if this batch of grain and grass can be taken, the soldiers and civilians of Suiyang will not have to worry about food shortage for at least a year.
From this, we can calmly defend the city and hold on until the moment when the main force of the imperial court counterinsurgency army recovers Henan. ” "Whether to sit back and wait for death or take a risk, I choose the latter left and right is a dead word, we as a son in the army, eat the court, and would rather fight to the death with the rebels to get a glimmer of life, rather than defend a lonely city and wait for death" "We made a surprise attack on Yongqiu, and if we were unprepared, we may not have the opportunity to take Yongqiu.
But if we don't do anything, we don't have any chance.
Taking a step back, even if we sacrifice our 500 brothers, if we can win a glimmer of life for tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Suiyang, then we will also die as we deserve."
"It's worth dying, brothers" "Kong swears to the sky here, in this battle, he should live and die with all his brothers in front of the front, if he violates this oath, he should be like this."
Kong Sheng took out a feather arrow from the quiver he was carrying, broke it into two pieces in his hand with a click, and then threw it on the ground with all his might.
"Where righteousness goes, there is no hesitation to swear to serve the country and recover Yongqiu" Kong Sheng said in a loud voice, his expression solemn.
Led by Li Biao and Li Hu, five hundred cavalry enthusiastically brandished Mo swords and spears, and let out a deafening shout: "Where righteousness comes, righteousness will serve the country without hesitation, and recover Yongqiu" Kong Sheng laughed out loud, he brandished Fang Tian's halberd proudly, and loudly ordered: "Pass my military order, all of them have it, and the soldiers will send Yongqiu" Kong Sheng took the lead in beating the horse and galloping.
Behind him, a group of 500 cavalry excitedly marched forward in accordance with the formation, raising smoke and dust in the sky.
On the castle tower.
Zhang Xun wrapped his cloak and stared at Kong Sheng leading five hundred cavalry to gallop away, the iron hooves rolling like a torrent of steel in the smoke and dust in the sky, and his eyes flashed with a strange strange light.
He turned back to Lei Wanchun and Nan Jiyun and sighed in a low voice: "Wanchun, Nanba, this Kong Sheng is really a natural general, and in just a few words, all the soldiers will be inspired, and they will swear to follow him."
At this point, the official underestimated him.
If he can really take the lead, even if he fails to attack Yongqiu this time, the official will not give him a short and long term. ” Nan Jiyun smiled slightly and did not speak.
In Nan Jiyun's view, it is not that Kong Sheng's mouth is good, but that he stands on the righteousness of justice, although the number of this cavalry is small, but it is the elite of the elite, which one is not a hot-blooded and loyal hero Kong Sheng's genius lies in the fact that through the pre-war mobilization full of justice and righteousness, the hearts of all soldiers are unified, so as to achieve the unity of orders and prohibitions.
If it weren't for this sincerity and heart-wrenching, there would definitely be many soldiers who would have questioned Kong Sheng's actions.
This is what Nan Jiyun admires the most.

He is a relatively stupid person, if he is the leader this time, the same pre-war mobilization will definitely not achieve the effect of Kong Sheng.
Lei Wanchun smiled and said: "Lord Zhongcheng, Kong County is full of wisdom, both civil and military, he attacked Yongqiu this time, from Lei's point of view, success or failure is between five and five."
Kong Xian Ling is not a reckless and impulsive person, if he can't do anything, he will definitely lead the army to retreat to Suiyang.
Therefore, Lord Zhongcheng doesn't have to worry too much. ” Zhang Xun saw that Lei Wanchun's words revealed a little praise for Kong Sheng, and the corners of his mouth were raised, and his expression became cold.
Zhang Xun has no hatred for Kong Sheng, but he is disgusted and disliked.
Although Zhang Xun has to admit that Kong Sheng is a rare genius, but talents are generally people with distinctive personalities, as far as the current situation in Suiyang is concerned, what Zhang Xun needs is actually a deployment general who can implement his orders to the letter, not a talent like Kong Sheng.
Lei Wanchun observed his words and looks, and knew that his words had caused Zhang Xun's displeasure, so he secretly lowered his head and said no more.
Zhang Xun glanced at Lei Wanchun, smiled faintly, waved his hand and said: "It's done, the official asks for merit for him, and if he fails, the official will carry the two of you to pay attention to the movements of Kong Sheng's army at any time, and be ready to rush to the aid at any time."
Lei Wanchun and Nan Jiyun glanced at each other, and bowed together to receive the order.
This is what the two admire most about Zhang Xun: upright, taking into account the overall situation, and never abolishing the public for personal reasons.
Although this attack on Yongqiu was a proposal insisted by Kong Sheng, and Zhang Xun was forced to agree to it out of desperation, since it was a military action that he agreed to, as the supreme military and political head of Suiyang, Zhang Xun would not shirk his responsibility.
And no matter how much Zhang Xun doesn't like Kong Sheng, he will not extend his personal likes and dislikes to official duties, let alone sit back and watch Kong Sheng in distress because of his personal dissatisfaction with Kong Sheng.
Although Zhang Xun has many faults and character flaws, the above points determine the basic elements of his role as a historical minister.
This is also a key factor for Lei Wanchun and Nan Jiyun to follow their obedience to the death.
Zhang Xun brushed his sleeves and left.
Taishou Xu Yuan walked over slowly, arched his hands to Lei Wanchun and Nan Jiyun and smiled: "Two generals." ” Lei Wanchun and Nan Jiyun hurriedly saluted: "The last general has seen Xu Taishou" Among the dozens of generals in Suiyang, only Lei Wanchun and Nan Jiyun still maintain face respect for Xu Yuan, and the others don't even bother to give this kind of face, thinking that Xu Yuan is an incompetent civil official, Suiyang's ability to defend to this day and achieve one victory after another is completely the result of the desperate and bloody battles of their group of generals, so that Xu Yuan and these people can enjoy it.
Xu Yuan said with a smile: "Xu just saw that Kong County ordered the army to march westward, and the five hundred cavalry troops were neat and brave, judging from the two of them, Kong Sheng could have a few chances of winning here."
Nan Jiyun smiled and did not express an opinion.
Lei Wanchun said truthfully: "Xu Taishou, the last general thinks that Kong County has little chance of winning here."
The defense of Yongqiu City is profound, and it is difficult to take Yongqiu by relying on the five hundred cavalry ordered by Kong County alone.
But considering that Kong Xianling is resourceful and both civil and military, he is a genius in the world, and he can't be speculated by common sense, maybe he can create a miracle. ” A hint of clarity flashed in Xu Yuan's eyes: "Xu also thinks that Kong County's order can be done by people, and I have hope for his trip."
If he can return triumphantly, it will greatly boost the confidence of my army and people in Suiyang."
Lei Wanchun arched his hand and said: "The last general also has expectations.
I just hope he can do a miracle. ” Nan Jiyun suddenly interjected: "Xu Taishou, Wan Chun, Nan suddenly felt that Kong County Ling took the initiative to invite Ying to attack Yongqiu this time, maybe the drunkard's intention was not to drink, and there was no deep meaning." ” Xu Yuan and Lei Wanchun were stunned when they heard this, and looked up at Nan Jiyun together, not knowing why Nan Jiyun said this.
But both of them know that Nan Jiyun has a calm and steady personality, and he is not a person who speaks lightly, since he said so, there must be a reason for him. oshow7 t1706231537:
