Zhu Pingan commanded the Zhejian army to set up camp beside the Jianghuai camp of Linhuai Marquis, part of the Zhejian army dug a trench outside the camp, part of the Zhejian army went to the woods to cut down trees to make antlers and fences, and there was also a post of Zhejian army patrolling back and forth to keep watch, so the Zhejian army camp was in its early stage of taking shape, and the guard was tightly guarded.
Has been watching the LinHuaiHou look at the heavily guarded zhejiang army camp, and look at their own scribble, lax jianghuai camp, can not help but scratch his head, a little embarrassed, of course, more is not think of it said, “virtuous nephew, it is not necessary to do it, we will camp here for two days only, tomorrow to sacrifice the sea, the day after tomorrow, pull out the camp to go back, bother so much effort, and is digging trench, and is building antler fence, and also is digging trench, and is building antler fence.We’ll just camp here for two days, tomorrow for the sea festival, and the day after tomorrow we’ll pull out and go back, so we’ll spend so much effort on digging trenches and building antler fences, and when we pull out the day after tomorrow, they’ll all be wasted.”
“Uncle, this sea festival is very publicised, almost no one in Jiangnan knows about it, and the Japanese can’t possibly be unaware of it, and will certainly take advantage of the situation to cause trouble, this sea festival is bound to be stormy, so everything is more prudent. Your Jianghuai battalion had better set up trenches and antlers to raise the alert, so as not to give the Japanese an opportunity to take advantage of. ”
Zhu Pingan slightly shook his head, seriously explained, suggesting that Marquis Linhuai’s Jianghuai camp should also be on guard.
“Hehe, Xian Nephew, you are worrying too much. We have 12,800 elite troops in Shazhou this time. I brought 3,000 elite troops, General Yu Dayou also brought 3,000 elite troops, Lord Hu Zongxian brought 2,000 elite troops, General Tang Kekuan also brought 2,000 elite troops, as well as veteran generals He Qing and Shen Xiyi also brought 1,000 elite troops each, and then there is your 800 elite troops. ”
“That’s not all, Senator General Lu Boring led three thousand sailors to cruise at the mouth of the sea, and Yi Feng, Ke Qiao and other veteran generals have stationed large armies more than ten miles away in the east, south and north directions of the sandbar, standing by, like fierce tigers with their mouths open. Once there is a change in Shazhou, they can pull out their battalions in an instant to come to support them, and together with our Shazhou army, they will attack from the front and the back, forming an encirclement.”
“Have the Japanese eaten bear heart and leopard guts, or are they so impatient to live that they dare to come to Shazhou to stroke their whiskers?!As long as they dare to come, it’s the same as drilling into the pocket, once they tie their mouths they will die without a burial place.”
“That’s why, virtuous nephew, you don’t need to be so careful, you still have to stand for a day tomorrow to fill up the doorway, instead of wasting your effort digging and building trenches and fences that will only last for two days, you might as well build up your strength.”
Marquis Linhuai smiled and shook his head, not adopting Zhu Pingan’s suggestion, instead advising Zhu Pingan to save his strength.
Seeing this, Zhu Pingan sort of understood that because of the presence of a large army, Marquis Linhuai simply did not believe that the Japanese would dare to come to Shazhou to cause trouble.
He could not help but feel a little helpless.
Although now Shazhou big army gathered, east, south, north three directions also have big army stationed, the whole Shazhou looks like an open mouth, ready to pounce on the tiger, deterrence full ……
However, Linhuai Hou’s Jianghuai camp, the whole camp is paralysed, lax defence, the surrounding several camps are almost the same, than Jianghuai camp is not good, or even worse.
This open mouth, ready to pounce, seemingly intimidating tiger, in fact, is dozing off, covered with cracks.
This gave the Japanese an opportunity to take advantage of.
Linhuai Hou’s Jianghuai camp is right next door, if there is any change in the Jianghuai camp, once the chaos, it will definitely affect their own Zhejun camp, this is a personal hidden danger, must be eliminated.
Zhu Pingan knew that it would be difficult to convince Marquis Linhuai, but with a slight turn of his eyes, he had an idea.
“Uncle, this time I came to assist in the sea sacrifice, is it possible to just stand for a day, fill up the facade and go back?”
Zhu Pingan approached Marquis Lin Huai and asked in a low voice.
“What does Xian Nephew mean?”Marquis Lin Huai heard Zhu Pingan’s subtext and asked with considerable interest.
“For this sea sacrifice, the main priest is the imperial envoy Zhao Wenhua, the vice priest is the governor Zhang Jing, the minister of military affairs in Yingtian, the minister of rituals in Yingtian, the governor of Zhejiang, the inspector-general of Zhejiang, and other great officials are gathered here, doesn’t uncle want to leave an image of being shrewd and strong and capable of taking on heavy responsibilities in the hearts of these great officials?”Zhu Pingan smiled and whispered.
Don’t you want to leave an image of being shrewd, strong and capable of carrying heavy responsibilities in the hearts of Zhao Wenhua, Zhang Jing and other bigwigs?!
I want to, I want to even in my dreams!
Marquis Linhuai almost blurted out, but after all, he was the person who became the vice general, his determination grew a lot, coughed, nodded, and frankly said: ”Ahem, of course I want to ah. Nowadays, the Japanese are in serious trouble, and it is a good opportunity for our generation to make a mark. If we can pass on in Governor Zhang, Lord Zhao and their hearts to leave a shrewd and strong, can take on a big task of impression, later will be able to occupy a good position in their anti-Japanese industry, earn a step forward.”
“It’s just that we are leading the army to assist in the sea sacrifice, only two or three days, just to fill up the facade and deter the Japanese from daring to come and cause trouble, such a short period of time, such a simple task, how can we leave an impression of being shrewd and strong, capable of taking on a great responsibility to Governor Zhang and Lord Zhao?”Marquis Lin Huai shook his head with a bitter smile and asked with a puzzled expression.
“Then now is a good opportunity.”Zhu Pingan smiled.
“What good opportunity?”Marquis Linhuai touched the back of his head, puzzled like a monk in Jie Er.
“Uncle, look, the temporary camps set up over there, and that, that, notice?These camps are all set up very scribbly, no trenches, no antlers, no patrols and guards, it looks like they are undefended, but look at my Zhejian army camp, a little effort, digging trenches, arranging antlers and fences, and immediately they stand out from the rest. Tomorrow is going to sacrifice the sea, Governor Zhang and Lord Zhao they will certainly come out to patrol the sandbar, when they see their scribbled camp and the heavily guarded Zhejun camp, do you think that Governor Zhang and Lord Zhao what will they say in their hearts about the battalion commanders?”
Zhu Pingan reached out and pointed at the several surrounding camps with scribbled layouts, smiled slightly and said to Marquis Linhuai.
“So that’s how it is!With such a stark contrast, the Governor and the others must think that Xian Nephew’s rigorous and astute military management has the ‘style of Zhou Yafu’ and can take on a great responsibility!”Marquis Lin Qiao’s eyes instantly lit up with a sudden realisation as he looked towards Zhu Pingan, patting Zhu Pingjia’s shoulder with a strong and admiring expression, “I understand Xian Nephew, no wonder even if it is torn down in a couple of days, Xian Nephew is willing to put in a lot of effort to set up camp.”
Then, Zhu Pingjia saw the obese and cloaked ball like Marquis Linhuai stride towards the Jianghuai camp, stood at the entrance of the yamen gate and shouted, “Come on, come on, where is Vice General Xu, hurry up, send people to dig trenches, go to the woods to cut down the wood to make antlers and fences, like the Zhejian army camp, give me a tight security, and also, arrange for the soldiers to take turns to patrol around the camp. ”
“Marquis, we’re pulling out of camp the day after tomorrow, why are we bothering with this effort?”The vice general said in disbelief.
“What the hell do you know, this is called ruling the army rigorously, what’s wrong with taking the effort, so that they don’t have nothing to do to find me trouble. Hurry up and go, before dinner, I want to see the trenches and antler fences in place for me!Or else I’ll take you to task!”
Marquis Linhuai enjoined his big belly and lectured the vice general without any goodwill, spraying the vice general with spittle.
“Yes, yes.”The vice general wiped a handful of spittle on his face and nodded his head to receive orders.
Soon, the Jianghuai camp was busy in a burst of complaints and curses, the trenches and fences gradually took shape ……
Marquis Linhuai hooked up his lips in satisfaction, and Zhu Pingan on the side also hooked up his lips.
