Faced with Jia Mancang's accusation, Wang Shitou was not angry at all.
"Mancang, let me finish my words first, and then you get angry again, okay?"
"Well……"
Wang Shitou's words left Jia Mancang speechless.
"Second brother, everyone, my opinion is to defend the enemy from the outside. We cannot allow the Dongping Army to enter our territory of Qingyang County. We must keep them out and fight. Once they are allowed in, the good situation that the second brother has worked so hard to manage will be destroyed. , the common people will also suffer huge losses..."
Wang Shitou's words were so reasonable that even some boys who were dissatisfied with him had to shut up.
Destruction is easier than construction. Yunchao developed Qingyang County as a base. Once a military disaster occurred, not only the common people would suffer, but Yunchao would suffer even greater losses.
"Anyone else want to add?"
Yun Chao asked, but when no one answered, he immediately decided.
"Just do what Shitou said, keep the enemy at bay. Everyone go back and hurry up to prepare. Let's go meet the Dongping Army and see what Dong Ping's military supervisor is capable of!"
"yes!"
Yun Chao unified his thoughts, formulated policies, and issued orders one after another, and the entire Qingyang County immediately began to move.
Two hundred people were left to guard the Chiyanshan Iron Mine.
Two hundred people were left to guard the coal mines in Pingshan County.
Two hundred people were left to guard Qingyang County.
There are no soldiers left in the town, leaving Xiang Yong to maintain law and order by himself.
Yun Chao's current strength is about five thousand.
There are about 500 naval troops among them. They are not needed to fight the Dongping Army.
In addition to the remaining personnel and the navy, there are nearly 4,000 people left.
Whether they are veterans or new recruits, Yun Chao is ready to show them the world.
Yun Chao also recruited five thousand local warriors.
The soldiers and the local braves totaled nine thousand people.
For large-scale operations, soldiers must be trained together. The previous method of training separately with one battalion in the east and one in the west will not work.
Fortunately, Yun Chao keeps studying, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to command so many troops.
Commanding 9,000 people at one time and commanding 900 people are two completely different concepts. Without two brushes, you will not be able to do it well even if you are exhausted.
Youdao says that one general is incompetent and a thousand troops will be exhausted. This is about the importance of a commander.
A flock of sheep led by lions can defeat a flock of lions led by sheep.
In fact, Yun Chao was also very nervous.
This is the largest battle since his rebirth.
If you win, you will not only be able to continue to be popular and drink hot food in the future, but you can also go further and create a broader living soil.
If you lose, pack your bags and flee, all your previous efforts will be in vain!
It can be said that the following war is a gamble, a huge gamble, which almost covers all of Yun Chao's net worth!
Although Yun Chao didn't want to gamble, he had to gamble.
The official road from Dongping Prefecture to Qingyang County was not a flat plain, but it was not enough for Yun Chao to use the terrain to ambush thousands of troops.
Therefore, Yun Chao prepared to set up his battle array and fight the Dongping Army openly.
The first is to test the results of one's own operations, and the second is to train soldiers through actual combat.
If he still can't beat the enemy with more force and less force, Yun Chao will have to consider whether his previous method was correct.
If that doesn't work...
Forget it, let’s talk about it then!
Yun Chao commanded his troops and trained for half a month.
At first, Yun Chao felt that time was tight and the task was heavy, and he was worried that he would suffer a disadvantage in the battle with the Dongping Army because of insufficient training.
Unexpectedly, after half a month of training, the Dongping Army still hasn’t arrived.
The feeling of waiting for someone is really not pleasant.
I really don’t know what Dong Ping is up to. Isn’t he just sending troops to fight a war? What’s the point?
After waiting for a few more days, the news came.
It's not that Dong Ping didn't come, it's that Dong Ping's army was in trouble.
To be precise, Dongping Mansion is in trouble.
The bandits in Onozawa are out!
According to the report of spies placed in Dongping's army, the day before Dong Ping was about to send troops, the bandits of Onezawa sent two envoys to see Dong Ping.
I don’t know what they said specifically, but Dong Ping was very angry and wanted to kill them.
In the end, it was Magistrate Cheng who came to plead for mercy, and Dong Ping let the two envoys go.
Then, the news spread that the Onezawa bandits were about to attack Dongping Mansion.
It is said that a total of more than 10,000 people came, not far from Dongping Mansion, and were stationed forty miles away.
Dongping Mansion can hardly be saved, and Dong Ping can hardly save himself. How can he still think about coming to Qingyang County to cause trouble?
"hiss……"
Yun Chao took a breath.
Not only was Yun Chao not happy that the Dongping Army could not come, but he became even more worried.
There are only two to three thousand people in the Dongping Army, more than half of whom are new recruits, and there are hundreds of internal troops of his own. Yun Chao is relatively confident in dealing with them.
However, once the tens of thousands of bandits from Onezawa arrived in Qingyang County, Yun Chao felt unsure.
The bandits in Onezawa can gather tens of thousands of troops, and can run rampant in a radius of hundreds of miles around. Yun Chao doesn't even believe that they are incompetent in combat.
Once such a tough group of desperadoes comes to cause trouble in Qingyang County, even if they can be driven away in the end, the losses will be huge, and even Yun Chao cannot bear it!
Just as Yun Chao was about to summon his men to discuss countermeasures, County Magistrate Sun hurried over.
"Yun Er, why do you still have the mind to train soldiers? Come here quickly, something serious is wrong!"
Magistrate Sun received an urgent order from Dongping Prefecture, asking him to lead the Qingyang Battalion, recruit militiamen and township warriors to support Dongping Prefecture, and gather the power of several counties to jointly resist the bandits in Onezawa!
Seeing Magistrate Sun who was sweating profusely, Yun Chao felt less nervous.
"County magistrate, since the prefect gave the order, why didn't you hurry up and lead Qingyang Camp to rescue? Why did you come here to find me? Isn't this wasting time?"
"you……"
Magistrate Sun was so angry that he jumped to his feet: "Yun Er, we are already on fire. What are you kidding me about? Just those hundreds of people from Qingyang Camp. You asked me to take them to rescue Dongping Mansion. They are not for Onezawa." Do bandits deliver food?”
Yun Chao spread his hands: "The county magistrate and Qingyang camp are not good enough. What can I do? My men are just a bunch of local braves. It's okay to scare a few petty thieves and let them deal with the gangsters in Ohnoze. This is not the same as What’s the difference between delivering food?”
"you……"
Magistrate Sun was choked by Yun Chao and stretched his neck: "Okay, Yun Er, please send my daughter back quickly!"
Yun Chao was stunned: "You led people to rescue Dongping Mansion. Why do you want your daughter? Do you want to seduce your daughter with sex and give your daughter to the bandits in Onozawa in order to survive?"
Magistrate Sun: "..."
"Old Sun, I really misjudged you! Come on, hurry up to Wolong Village and send a message to Miss Sun, telling her that her father...her biological father is going to give her to the bandits as a bargaining chip, so that she can hide quickly. Hide!"
Magistrate Sun: "..."
