Such a question is actually meaningless.
For Kong, the ability to do this kind of thing can actually be classified into the category of business capabilities.
It is still related to Kong’s fundamental business ability.
So Kong Zheng looked at the old servant, shook his head, and sighed.
"He has a sword, but I have nothing. The sword has no eyes. If I offend him and make him uncomfortable, he will have thousands of ways to make me uncomfortable. My name as Yan Shenggong is useful to officials, but not to those who don't understand big words." A rough man is useless. If I don't rely on him to restrain those officers and soldiers, I'm really afraid something will happen."
The old servant was silent.
Kong Zheng smiled bitterly again.
"I don't know when the chaos in Shandong will end. If it doesn't end as soon as possible, Ansheng's life may be lost again. With swords and soldiers together, how can Qufu survive alone?"
"What are Alang going to do?"
"What else can we do? Qufu Kong's scepter is just a scepter inlaid with pearls and jade. It looks good, but the more important thing is who is holding it. If the right person takes it, the scepter will shine brightly. , taken by the wrong person, the scepter is sin.
That's all for the prosperous times, I'm just afraid of troubled times. In the last troubled times, a Southern sect was created. If troubled times come again, the Western sect and the Eastern sect will all appear. With more sects, the meaning of the existence of the Kong family will still be left. how much? "
"this……"
"When people admire me, do they admire the knowledge of their ancestors? No, what they admire is the power, the power behind the knowledge. What does knowledge mean when they have power? They openly regard the knowledge of their ancestors as a guideline, but secretly I don’t know how to laugh at my ancestors for not knowing how to adapt.”
Kong Zheng sighed again, his face full of worry: "Being careful and careful in doing things is the secret of Kong's survival to this day."
The old servant was speechless and could only lower his head and say nothing.
Everyone envies the Kong family for its thousands of years of uninterrupted inheritance from generation to generation. They envy that the Kong family was born with the blood of a saint and has its own aura. Anyone who is in power must be polite to the Kong family.
But who would have thought that behind the glory of the Kong family, it would be so difficult?
Behind the halo, there are many shadows. It is not easy for Kong to persist to this point, and it is indeed worthy of "admiration".
Shuhusiji didn't know much about this. His academic level was limited to the level of a young child, and the so-called pursuit of knowledge was just for fun in his spare time. However, he was not without military considerations.
After the Pioneer Sentinel Cavalry defeated the Liberation Army Sentinel Cavalry, he despised the Liberation Army even more, believing that the Liberation Army was vulnerable and not an opponent worthy of using all its abilities.
However, the number of people in the Liberation Army may be quite large. Once there are more people, even if they are a rabble, it will take a lot of effort to defeat them, not to mention that their own side is actually a rabble.
How can the 20,000 Han people sign the army be expected to contribute anything?
They're just cannon fodder, used to bluff and scare people. If they really can't be frightened, then they have no choice but to fight.
In the Jurchen soldiers, can those guys who cried and shouted that they were unwilling to come to fight and were finally forced to go into battle, can they be counted on?
Maybe it's better to sign the army with those Han people.
What he can really count on is four to five thousand regular cavalry who have received formal training. That is his only and last resort.
But no matter what, it is impossible for the Liberation Army to produce 5,000 trained and skilled cavalry.
This is simply impossible.
Therefore, relying on these cavalry, he was confident that he would defeat the Liberation Army until they huddled in the city and did not dare to come out.
As for what happened next, of course they would attack the city all the way and completely annihilate the Liberation Army.
His planned march was to march from Surabaya to Feixian County in a smooth way. He would first conquer Feixian County, then attack Linyi, completely destroy the rebel base camp, and then push forward all the way.
However, the rebels obviously also knew about his existence, so a surprise attack was impossible. They could only push him all the way over and let the rebels see how desperate his bravery was.
He was ashamed of being surprised and abandoned his armor before. Now that he was fully prepared and with all the troops around him, it was time for a real fight with real swords and guns.
On July 14, Shuhu Siji began to march.
On the same day, Zhao Kaishan held a swearing-in meeting in Linyi.
According to the report of the sentry who escaped, Zhao Kaishan already knew that he was facing a very severe test.
The Jin army is marching towards Yizhou, and it is powerful and has many cavalry. The previous information sent by Su Yonglin said that there were about 20,000 people. Now it seems that this number should be more accurate.
Zhao Kaishan was a little nervous, but not that nervous.
Because the Jin army has 20,000 people, he has 70,000 people.
He has an army of 70,000!
Can't we win with more strikes and fewer strikes?
Even if the Jin soldiers have elite cavalry, so what?
He has a city, a military formation, bows and crossbows, and firearms. Even if the vanguard cannot win in the field, can't he defend the city and let the golden soldiers return without success?
On July 13, Zhao Kaishan had sent 12,000 Tabai troops under Zhao Kaihe, the vanguard, to station in Feixian County to prepare city defense in Feixian County.
He planned to place the main battlefield around Feixian County, and launch a fierce offensive and defensive battle with the main force of the Jin Army in Feixian County, defeating the Jin Army's attack in one fell swoop.
Although he didn't know how Su Yonglin defeated the Jin Army's cavalry, and he was a little envious of Su Yonglin's achievements, he was still wiser at this moment, knowing that he could not compete with the Jin Army in the wild.
Your own cavalry cannot compete with the Jin Army's cavalry, and you must avoid their sharp edges.
There is nothing wrong with fighting offensive and defensive battles. When the time comes to defeat the Jin army's siege, just chase them all the way and you will always gain something.
After Zhao Kaihe sent troops, he followed closely and sent troops northward.
Zhao Kaishan left Zhao Xiang to lead the Selected Front Army to stay in Linyi County and ensure the logistics of the army, while he led other main forces to Feixian County and prepared to build camps around Feixian County. According to the military book, it and the city are at the horns of each other. In this way It can effectively limit the Jin army's attack.
With so many troops placed there, they could scare away the Jin army.
Zhao Kaishan feels that this is almost the ideal combat mode.
On July 15, Zhao Kaihe led his army to Fei County and began to build city defenses in accordance with Zhao Kaishan's orders.
He forcibly recruited the people in the city as strong men and asked them to go up to the city wall to reinforce the city defense, carry the city defense weapons to the city wall, and then go outside the city to widen the moat, place anti-horses, dig pits, and build a camp where Zhao Kaishan's main force would be stationed. foundation.
On July 16, You Yijun, led by Li Xiao, arrived in Feixian County first as the main vanguard, joined the construction work, and began to help Zhao Kaishan with the project.
Working in full swing here, Shuhu Siji's main force over there also entered Yizhou through Sishui County.
They marched all the way, relying on burning, killing, and looting to encourage and maintain morale. Many villages and small towns they passed were burned, killed, and looted by the Jin army, and the Jurchen soldiers gained a lot.
However, there were also some things that happened that Jin Jun didn't quite understand.
For example, in some villages, it is as if everyone has disappeared from the world. There is still food growing in the fields, there is still farm work waiting to be done, and there are still many things in the houses, which are all quite clean, but the people are gone.
However, the Jin Army didn't have much time to search around. They still had to move on, so they just looted and destroyed everything they could find in the village, and then left the empty village unhappy.
I saw many such villages along the way.
Of course, this is not important, just assume that they have a keen sense of smell and run away in advance.
On July 18, Shuhu Siji's sentry cavalry arrived more than ten miles north of Feixian County, and once again encountered the Liberation Army's sentry cavalry.
This time the Liberation Army had more cavalry. More than fifty fought against more than thirty, which was more fierce than last time. However, they still failed to win. They lost more than a dozen corpses and fled in a panic.
Although he was not good at fighting, he still ran very fast. The Jin Army sentry cavalry was stunned but could not catch up.
But they went deep into the city and observed the city defenses being built by the Liberation Army in Feixian County.
That night, Shuhu Siji learned that the Liberation Army was actively building city defenses in Feixian County and gathering a large number of soldiers and horses to prepare for resistance. Although the combat effectiveness was not very good, the Jin Army itself was in a disadvantageous situation when it came to defending the city.
According to preliminary estimates, the strength of the Liberation Army will not be less than 20,000.
So Shuhusiji held a military meeting to discuss with his subordinates how to fight the battle.
