Chapter 202 Recruitment
"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 Chichangzhi had mixed feelings in his heart. As a person involved, he had a much deeper understanding of this than Wang Wenzuo. After the Tang army broke into Sixian City for the first time, there were more than 10,000 clans, nobles and common people in the city.
As a result, the power of the center of Buyeo was wiped out. The Baekje clan did not participate in the subsequent restoration movement, so Master Doshen and Onimuro Boknobu had to jointly beg the Japanese to be released to Buyeo.
Fengzhang, and after Fuyu Fengzhang returned to China, he did not have his own team, resulting in a situation where the leader was weak and the ministers were strong. It can be said that the political structure of the Restoration Army was 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.
However, this situation did not last long. The ambitious Onimuro Fuxin seized the opportunity of Daochen being defeated by the Tang army, killed him, annexed his subordinates, and forced Fuyu Fengzhang to establish himself as the prime minister, with great power.
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 support from the Japanese, Fuyu Fengzhang planned to kill Onimuro Fukunobu.
Although Buyeo Fengzhang did not expand the scope 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. This was true for Baekje, which formed the backbone of the Restoration Army.
From the perspective of local heroes, both Onimuro Fukunobu and Master Daochen, who had great achievements in righteousness and great deeds, died unexpectedly, and the people occupying the center of power were strangers. So when the restoration of the country is successful and rewards are given based on merit, who can
To speak for them in court?
From the perspective of Fuyu Fengzhang, it is 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 Onimuro Fuxin. Although this man was ambitious, he did make great contributions to Fuyu Fengzhang. With this past experience, it is extremely difficult to build trust between monarchs and ministers.
"Two thousand more Japanese soldiers? The general is Buyeo 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 impossible to say it's a success!" Wang Wenzuo looked at the map, tapping his fingers unconsciously on the belt around his waist, and suddenly raised his head and asked: "If we approach Imcun Mountain City, what do you think Fuyu Tadakatsu will do?"
Before Wang Wenzuo asked the question, 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 locked up 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 laughed with satisfaction: "Heiqia, 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!"
The two of them 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 hard to recruit thousands of people!”
"Well, very good!" Wang Wenzuo turned to Sancho: "What about you?"
"It's similar over there, little man. 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, twenty days is twenty days! You two each take fifty people, go to your respective territories, and recruit all the heroes from the countryside who can be recruited!"
"yes!"
Looking at the two people's retreating figures, Wang Wenzuo smiled: "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, and 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, Fuyu Zhongsheng's work was extremely heavy. In fact, he did not agree with his brother's deployment. In his opinion, Incun Mountain City did not actually need so many defenders.
At that time, the rugged terrain was more effective than soldiers, and precious soldiers should be deployed where they were needed more. But Buyeo Fengzhang said that the army could only be handed over to trustworthy people, and Buyeo Chungseung was the only one 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 3,000!"
"Less than three thousand?" Fuyu Zhongsheng exhaled a long breath: "The art of war says: attack if you double 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. There's 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——"
