"Oh? Is there any news?" Wang Wenzuo frowned.
"Well!" Hei Te Changzhi stood up and bowed his back slightly to avoid being higher than his superior: "There is news from Ren Cun. Two thousand Japanese soldiers were sent from Zhouliucheng two days ago. Things have become troublesome. !”
"The general guarding the city or Buyeo Tadakatsu?"
"This has not changed!" Black Teeth Changzhi replied: "In fact, Fuyu Fengzhang has no other choice. At present, the only general in the Restoration Army who can be trusted by him and has enough prestige and ability to lead the army is Fuyu Zhongsheng. Got it!"
"Yes!" Wang Wenzuo nodded: "It seems that Fuxin, the ghost killer, has brought endless troubles to Fuyu Fengzhang!"
"Yes!" Hei Chi Changzhi had mixed feelings in his heart. As a person involved, he had a much deeper understanding of this than Wang Wenzuo. After the first Tang army broke into Sixi City, they kidnapped more than 10,000 people from the royal family, nobles, and common people in the city. As a result, the power of the Buyeo Central Committee was wiped out, and the Baekje clan did not participate in the subsequent restoration movement. , so that Master Daochen and Onimuro Fuxin had to jointly beg the Japanese for the release of Fuyu Fengzhang. After Fuyu Fengzhang returned to the country, he did not have his own team, forming a situation where the leader was weak and the ministers were strong. It can be said that the restoration of the country The political structure of the military is inherently problematic.
In order to stabilize his position, Fuyu Fengzhang did two things: first, he appointed Master Daochen and Onimuro Fuxin as the left and right generals respectively to check and balance each other; second, he appointed Onimuro Fuxin's sister as the queen to win over Onimuro Fuxin. But this situation did not last long. The ambitious Onishi Fuxin seized the opportunity of Daochen's defeat by the Tang army, killed him, annexed his subordinates, and forced Fuyu Fengzhang to establish himself as the prime minister of the country, with great power. Dominate. But this also put him and Fuyu Fengzhang in a situation of irreconcilable power. After confirming that the Tang army was about to retreat and gaining more Japanese support, Fuyu Fengzhang designed to kill Onimuro Fukunobu.
Although Fuyu Fengzhang did not expand his power after killing Onimuro Fukunobu, the subsequent division of power still favored the Japanese and the few people who followed him to the Japanese country as hostages. In the eyes of the Baekje local heroes who formed the backbone of the Restoration Army, both Onimuro Fukushin and Master Dochen, who had great achievements in righteousness, died unexpectedly, and the people who occupied the center of power were strangers. So when the restoration of the country is successful and rewards are given based on merit, who can speak for them in the court?
From Fuyu Fengzhang's perspective, it's a different situation. After finally killing Fukunobu Onimuro, a similar character cannot appear again. In this case, the only one who can choose is his brother Fuyu Tadakatsu. After all, everyone has seen the fate of Fukunobu Onimuro. This person Although ambitious, he did make great contributions to Fuyu Fengzhang. With this lesson in mind, it is extremely difficult to build trust between monarchs and ministers.
"Two thousand more Japanese soldiers? The general is Fuyu Tadakatsu?" Wang Wenzuo stroked his short beard habitually: "It's a little troublesome, but it's not a big trouble! Bring the map!"
"Have you already made up your mind?" Hei Te Changzhi asked carefully.
"It's not guaranteed!" Wang Wenzuo looked at the map, tapping his fingers unconsciously on the belt around his waist. He suddenly raised his head and asked, "If we approach Imcun Mountain City, what do you think Fuyu Tadakatsu will do?"
Before Wang Wenzuo asked, Heijia Changzhi had already thought about it. He answered without thinking: "Set up camp at the foot of the mountain, send a small group of light soldiers to harass, and then send a messenger to Zhouliucheng to report the news to Zhouliucheng!"
"Set up camp at the foot of the mountain? Why?" Wang Wenzuo asked.
"Rancun is a mountain city. If we don't set up camp at the foot of the mountain, the defenders will probably be sealed in the city. Rencun Mountain City cannot be captured in a hurry. The key to victory or defeat is food. The wheat harvest is coming soon, and at the foot of the mountain The valley is a vast field waiting to be harvested!”
"Very good, I think so too!" Wang Wenzuo smiled with satisfaction: "Hei Teeth, you can always grasp the key, which is very good!" At this point, he suddenly raised his voice: "Yuan Fei, Sancho! "
"The villain is here!"
They both responded in unison.
"If I give you ten days, how many Baekje warriors can you recruit?"
Yuan Fei and Sangqiu exchanged glances and replied carefully: "If it is ten days, I am afraid that the villain can only recruit two hundred people, but if it is twenty days later, the villain can recruit two thousand people!"
"Oh? Why is there such a big difference in five days?"
"Report to join the army, because farmers are busy harvesting and planting these days, and few people are willing to go out. These one hundred people are still fellow villagers of the villain, but if it is twenty days later, the farm work will be almost busy, and the two It’s not difficult to recruit thousands of people!”
"Well, very good!" Wang Wenzuo turned to Sancho: "What about you?"
"It's the same thing over there, villain. It's the busy farming season now. If we miss it, the farmers will starve to death, so no one wants to go out!"
"Twenty days later!" Wang Wenzuo sighed: "That's the only way, just twenty days! You two each take fifty people and go to your respective territories to recruit all the heroes from the countryside you can!"
"yes!"
Looking at the two people's retreating figures, Wang Wenzuo smiled and said, "Give the order, all armies will set up camp!"
Rencun Mountain City.
At dawn, Fuyu Zhongsheng woke up, and then he practiced swordsmanship in the yard under the morning light. He waited until he was sweating profusely, then scrubbed with cold water and started the day's work. This was when he was a hostage in the Japanese country. It has become a habit, no matter it is cold or hot, rain or shine.
As the commander of nearly one-third of the rebel army, Buyeo Tadakatsu's job was extremely heavy. In fact, he did not agree with his brother's deployment. In his opinion, Rencun Mountain City did not actually need so many defenders. Sometimes the steep terrain was more effective than soldiers, and precious soldiers should be deployed where they were needed more. But Fuyu Fengzhang said that he could only hand over the army to trustworthy people, and Fuyu Zhongsheng was the only person he trusted among the Baekje people. Faced with his brother's words, Fuyu Zhongsheng could only bow his head and obey his orders.
"Urgent military information, the Tang Army has left the city. From the direction of march, the target is here!" Sha Zha Xiangru presented the bamboo tube, and Fuyu Zhongsheng took the letter, but did not read: "How many troops are there?"
"It's not certain yet, but the total number will not exceed three thousand!"
"Less than three thousand?" Fuyu Zhongsheng exhaled a long breath: "The art of war says: If you double it, attack it! Send the order to send troops and crush them!"
"Prime Minister!" Sha Zha Xiangru looked like he was hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong? If you have any questions, please speak up. No need to worry!"
"The people of the Tang Dynasty have always been full of tricks. This time, only 3,000 people came to besiege Rencun Mountain City. Could it be——"
