Chapter 2096 The Guizi Volume is to draw out the firepower and find out the bottom.
"It's not that simple." The old man shook his head, "Guyuan, Gansu, and Ningxia towns have no troops to send out, but Yulin can send out troops. But according to the information I have, the inside of Yulin Town is still tightened. I heard that it is outside the border wall. There is movement, but I don’t know the specific reason. Logically speaking, the relationship between Bu Shitu and Su Nang is relatively peaceful, so what else could happen?”
"Uncle Kuang means that Yulin Town can't send out troops?" The elegant man was surprised, "Then the situation will be different."
"I'm just saying that it's tightened. It's more difficult to mobilize troops. But General He is a person who is nostalgic for old friendships. Governor Feng treats him well. If his son asks for help, he won't support him. It's not in line with his character. , not to mention that Governor Feng also has the power to manage the army, and also has the responsibility to intervene and supervise Yulin Town. In this case, troops will definitely be sent, but it is hard to say how much."
The old man spoke very slowly and explained the meaning of his words.
The elegant man nodded slightly, "The governor usually also holds the title of Minister of War or Censor of the capital, but according to convention, he only has the power to coordinate and supervise the border army. He mainly controls the capital and the guard army. His command of the border towns is limited. Far inferior to his father’s status as governor.”
"Not necessarily. The governor's control of the army mainly depends on the governor's own ability. Of course, Governor Feng's son is too young after all. The border army may just be dissatisfied. General He can't go against the internal intentions too much." The elegant man He also has his own opinion, "But no matter what, I think Yulin Town will send troops. It's just a question of how many troops will be sent, but they will definitely send troops. General He's temperament will not offend Governor Feng."
The old man also agreed with the elegant man's view, "We should send out troops, but it may only be about one battalion. But it will take time to get out of Yinzhou Pass, and the troops cannot be mobilized with just a few words. They will definitely not be able to catch up with this battle." fighting."
"Uncle Kuang, it doesn't matter to us whether we can catch up or not. The key is how we face the matter in front of us. Someone from the Feng family is coming. We can delay it for a while, but if we delay it any longer, the situation will become clear and it may be meaningless. Even Feng Our family will look at us differently." The elegant man put away the folding fan and held it in his hand, and said solemnly: "My nephew thinks it may be time to make a decision."
The old man glanced at his son beside him and said, "Tian Geng, what do you think?"
The young man hesitated for a moment, "Father, do you still think you need to wait a little longer? Brother Zhizhong is right. If we continue to delay, once Boyan Village and Baitang Village fail, Wubao will be able to calm down, and it may be possible for us. They won’t value it that much, and the conditions offered won’t be that good.”
"There is another possibility?" The old man said leisurely: "That is that Wubao City is captured, Modlen and Qiu Zixiong become famous in one fell swoop, the entire Yan'an Prefecture will be connected, and even Qingyang Prefecture and Pingliang Prefecture will start a prairie fire. I'm afraid He Shixian's Yulin troops may not go south by then."
The elegant man frowned: "If Wu Fort is really captured and Governor Feng is in the hands of thieves, General He will probably send troops faster. Otherwise, how can he explain to the court?"
"Haha, dear nephew, this Governor Feng has put himself in danger. What does it have to do with Yulin Town? Besides, if Governor Feng falls into the hands of thieves and the Yulin army presses harder, will it endanger Governor Feng's life? Of course. If Governor Feng dies, that's a different story, but I believe Modlen and Qiu Zixiong won't be that stupid." The old man disagreed.
The elegant man finally couldn't bear it any longer. He looked at the old man and said, "Uncle Kuang, please tell me the truth. What do you think of the current situation in the imperial court? Is there any hope?"
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "My dear nephew, your topic is too big for Uncle Yu to answer."
“Uncle Kuang, just say it casually, it’s just the three of us here, and we won’t recognize anyone out of this door.” The elegant man said sternly.
"Well, judging from our Shaanxi and even the three sides and four towns, the court will definitely not last long if it continues like this. No dynasty can drag on like this. If we look at the current confrontation between the court and Jiangnan, plus Huguang The rebellion over there, as well as the Jurchens and Mongols outside the border wall, are quite disturbing from every angle..."
The old man pondered and said: "But if we look at the situation in the capital, it doesn't seem like it can't hold on anymore. The situation in Beizhili is still very stable. Governor Feng led the Northwest Army to drive out the Xuanfu Army and the Datong Army. It's shit, Jiangnan won't be able to hold on for long. Can the Denglai Army in Huguang hold on? I'm not sure, that is to say, if there are no other unexpected factors, it feels a bit like a 50-50 split, but women Are the real people, the Mongols, and those White Lotus people considered accidental factors..."
The elegant man curled his lips in frustration and dissatisfaction, "Uncle Kuang, you didn't say anything, so what should we do now?"
"Such a major event can easily affect the lives and fortunes of thousands of people in our two villages. How dare Uncle Yu dare to make such an assertion?" The old man shook his head, "Now, it seems that Governor Feng is a powerful person despite his youth. The tiger father has no sons, and his methods are even more ruthless than Governor Feng, so I can only meet the person and listen to him before talking."
It was under this situation that Feng You came in.
Feng You slightly cupped his hands and said calmly: "Are the three of you the heads of Big Rabbit Falcon Village and Boluo Temple Village? I am the right minister of the Ministry of War, the right minister of the Duchayuan, and the governor of Shaanxi on the orders of the imperial court. Feng Keng's personal guard Feng You came to see the three of you on the order of the governor."'
Even though he longed in his heart for the two villages to immediately change their attitudes and join in the rescue battle, Feng You knew that the momentum must be sufficient, otherwise the opponent would only be more encumbered.
The three of them were all a little surprised by Feng You's attitude. Didn't they say before that he was eager to see him?
How come this guy is becoming more arrogant after being so cold for a day?
The old man frowned slightly, and the young man was a little angry, but the elegant man took it calmly and smiled: "It's rude of us. I'm afraid Lord Feng also has official status, but we are just a few idlers in the grass, but we bother Lord Feng to come to the house. I feel a little sorry."
He could hear the sarcasm in the other party's words, but Feng You ignored it and looked directly at the other party with clear eyes: "Is this the owner of Jing Village? I have heard your father's story when I was in Yulin Town. He was also considered a character when he was in Huaiyuan Fort,..."
Hearing Feng You mention his father, the elegant man Jing Zhizhong couldn't control his attitude. He leaned over and cupped his hands, "Oh, I didn't expect Lord Feng to know about my late father,..."
“I’ve heard that in Huaiyuan Fort, he was able to take the lead and kill three Mongolians without retreating even after being injured...” Feng You nodded, “It’s a pity that your honorable name will be ruined by your descendants...”
Jing Zhizhong's face froze. He didn't expect the other party to be so rude. He was obviously here to ask for help, but he wanted to give himself a blow first. Is there such a person asking for help?
Forcing a smile, Jing Zhizhong suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly: "Master Feng, are you here to provoke and humiliate us, or are you here for something else?"
"If I say that I am here to show you a clear path, you will definitely think that I am being arrogant. I am obviously here to ask for help. Wubao City is in danger, and the governor is about to be imprisoned, but I still dare to show off my power like this. Isn't it wrong? Laugh?" There was not much tone in Feng You's words, "But I still want to say that an official is an official and a thief is a thief. Is it possible that if you are unfavorable for a while, you can go against the grain? If you want to be a thief, you can't wait. Until now, if you have not forgotten it, now may be the best time to help these rebels break the city in one fell swoop, so that they can quickly gain leadership of the entire Yan'an rebel army."
Feng You's unkind words made him dumbfounded. Even the old man with dull eyebrows, Kuang Zhengcao, felt a little frightened. Is this person so strong?
Even if Modlen and the others failed to capture Wubao City today, they could clearly see the battle from the sidelines. The situation in the city was definitely not optimistic. As long as there was another fierce attack like today, Wubao City would hardly be spared. .
So they felt that the man surnamed Feng must have come to negotiate terms to win over them, but why did he act so arrogantly, as if he was aloof and wanted to do favors to them? This is too uninteresting.
But this guy opened up everything, and even shook out everyone's little thoughts, which made Jing Zhizhong and Kuang Zhengcao a little confused about what to say.
Jing Zhizhong didn't say anything, so Kuang Zhengcao had no choice but to come by himself: "Master Feng, we have no intention of being rebellious, but you also know the situation of the forts on the other side of the Yulin wall. If it is an ordinary year, then I'm just getting by, but after three consecutive years of drought, even the river bank can't bear it, let alone me waiting for the village. There are thousands of people in the village, so we can't starve to death, so we have to come out to beg for food."
“So your plan is to attack the city and conquer the county, kill the big households, eat the gentry, and establish yourself as king?” Feng You smiled half-heartedly, “Then what are you waiting for? Isn’t Wu Fort the best target?”
Kuang Zhengcao was a thief because he was old and did not die. He said calmly: "Isn't your lord here? He wants to show us a clear path. Of course we are happy to see it happen. As for the talk of self-proclaimed king, it is only a fool and a fool who has such a delusion. , I would never dare to do so."
Feng You glanced sideways at the three of them, "You really don't dare?"
“I really don’t dare.” Kuang Zhengcao said honestly.
He only said that he did not dare to establish himself as a king, but he did not deny that he attacked big households and devoured the gentry. He was hungry and impatient. Who dared not kill or attack?
"Then do you think a border village like yours can continue to maintain its current livelihood?" Feng You said calmly: "I mean, even after passing this current level, can it still be maintained in the future?"
