Chapter 100: Willing to make a military order

"Of course I want to hear the truth." Dahonga and others replied sneered.

"Then the truth is more complicated." Wu Chaoyue said with a smile: "If Changmao hides in Tianjin City and only guards and does not fight, and will not come out alive. Then my army will not be able to deal with Changmao, because I have too few troops and must have friendly forces to help break the city."

"If Changmao has the courage to go out of the city and fight me to a decisive battle..." Wu Chaoyue paused, and then said calmly: "Then it's enough to deal with them with my army. But my troops are too small and all infantry. The terrain in Tianjin is too wide, so I can only defeat Changmao and severely damage them. I can't fight annihilation war, and I can't annihilate more than 50,000 Changmao in one battle."

The big tent was silent. Zaiyuan, including Zaiyuan, opened his mouth wide. Looking at Wu Chaoyue, he couldn't believe his ears at all. Tong Jian, Dahonga and others were even more dumbfounded. He couldn't believe that Wu Chaoyue could say such arrogant words. Sheng Bao, who was sitting in the middle of the high, had a more gloomy face. After a while, he said with a grin: "Okay, since Lord Wu said that, then I can rest assured. If there is a field battle in the future, please ask Lord Wu to take the opportunity to meet the enemy."

"Thank you, Marshal Sheng, for your support!" Wu Chaoyue's answer was very straightforward, which made Shengbao stunned again. He didn't understand that Wu Chaoyue really had this confidence, but he was still crazy.

The banquet ended in an extremely unfriendly atmosphere. After the banquet, Shengbao, Tong Jian and others of course cursed Wu Chaoyue behind their backs and sweared that they would give Wu Chaoyue a good look. Zaiyuan complained behind their backs that Wu Chaoyue was too full and worried that Wu Chaoyue would not end in the future. Wu Chaoyue did not explain, but just quickly gave Zaiyuan a silver note to please the eyeliner sent by Emperor Xianfeng to monitor his own eyes.

Wu Jun Jian Yong was also very unpopular in the Qing army camp. The reason was not that Wu Jun Jian Yong was as arrogant and domineering as Wu Chaoyue, but because the Qing army was jealous and rewarded by Wu Jun Jian Yong, he was not kind to Wu Jun Jian Yong. Fortunately, Wu Jun Jian Yong, who has always paid attention to diet and nutrition, has long been used to this scene and was jealous and was jealous of friendly forces when he walked there. As long as the Qing army did not take action to force the robbery, Wu Jun Jian Yong, who was disciplined, was too lazy to pay attention to them.

The night passed quickly. The next morning, Shengbao ordered Wu Chaoyue to move to the south gate of Tianjin, where the war was most intense, and accepted the command of Senggelinqin. Wu Chaoyue took the order without hesitation and immediately took Wu's army to move to the camp. He was very cautious and did not walk the frozen river surface and crossed the river. He chose to walk a solid bridge across the river. As a result, the Qing generals laughed proudly, "I dare not even walk on the ice surface, but dare to blow so fiercely?"

Knowing that Senggelinqin would definitely not give him any good face, Wu Chaoyue of course pulled Zaiyuan to accompany him to visit Senggelinqin, but it really worked. Seeing Zaiyuan standing next to Wu Chaoyue, Senggelinqin had to give up meeting and give Wu Chaoyue a warning. He was cold and polite to Wu Chaoyue, and immediately ordered Wu Chaoyue to build the camp five miles south of the Taiping Army, and to open his mouth to set up the camp, clearly showing that he wanted to push Wu Chaoyue as cannon fodder in front.

Senggelinqin deliberately disgusted Wu Chaoyue, but he didn't know that he didn't want Wu Chaoyue to be stationed with him, which was a great thing for Wu Chaoyue. So Wu Chaoyue did not hesitate and agreed immediately. Instead, Zaiyuan kindly reminded Senggelinqin that the Wu army was tired from afar and asked Senggelinqin to let Wu Chaoyue temporarily station behind the Qing army camp. It would not be too late to be the Dao and the Dao camp after a little rest. As a result, Senggelinqin had not spoken anything yet. Wu Chaoyue said first: "Prince Zai, there is no need. The area of ​​Tianjin South Gate is open and is the most ideal battlefield for siegelinqin to attack the city. It is beneficial to send troops when he is in charge of the camp. The official will set up the camp there now to save the trouble of moving the camp in the future."

He glared at Wu Chaoyue with some anger, and Zaiyuan had to shut up his mouth. Senggelinqin sneered fiercely and said to himself: "Little Man, wait for death!"

While commanding Lian Yong to establish the camp, Wu Chaoyue came to the scene with an army and personally reconnaissed the Taiping Army, which had a headache for the Qing army, to leave the city. As a result, Wu Chaoyue breathed a sigh of relief. The land was frozen due to the severe cold. It was difficult to dig the soil. The Taiping Army did not have many earth bases to leave the city, and 80% of the city defense fortifications were built. At the same time, the trenches were not too deep or too wide. As long as there were enough trench bridge vehicles, it was easy to cross.

As for the red-repelled antlers next to the trench, although there are many and dense numbers, there are bitter and sour weapons in hand. Wu Chaoyue just pretends that these things do not exist.

When Wu Chaoyue was inspecting the battlefield himself, there was no movement in the Taiping Army. However, Zhao Liewen sent someone to report to Wu Chaoyue, saying that it was Senggelinqin's pretext to transport food and grass, and refused to supply food and grass immediately to Wu Chaoyue, asking Wu Chaoyue to find a way to solve the food and grass problem. In this regard, Wu Chaoyue was not surprised, but just ordered: "Go and tell Master Zhao, ask him to send someone to the surrounding county towns to purchase, and buy more pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks at a high price. If there is no surrounding county town, go directly to Beijing to buy it!"

It was just the beginning that Wu Chaoyue would not give food and grass. Just as the Wu army was determined to establish a camp, Senggelinqin came to cause trouble again. He led some Eight Banners generals to walk around the Wu army camp and found no less than twenty problems, such as there were no forts, no antlers to resist horses, the fence was too thin and no trenches were dug, and the camp tent was too dense, and it was easy to cause chaos. He forced Wu Chaoyue to set up a camp again to deliberately torture the Wu army to practice courage. Unfortunately, Wu Chaoyue did not accept the call at all, and asked Senggelinqin: "Prince Monk, do you know how to fight? Each army has the characteristics and habits of each army. If you can control the sky and the earth, how can I build my camp? You did my regiment training. Do you know how I want to fight?"

"Bold!" Senggelinqin was indeed a dog-faced person. She flipped over and immediately roared: "Wu Chaoyue, don't forget that you are under the command of this king. You have to do whatever you want you to do!"

"Prince Monk, I'm sorry, you only have the power to dispatch me, and don't have the power to command how I set up a camp." Wu Chaoyue sneered: "If something goes wrong with me in establishing a camp, I will take whatever responsibility I should take, but I will establish a camp as I want, you can't control it!"

"You..., you..." Senggelinqin was almost angry and roared: "Why can't I care about it? Your camp is standing in front of my camp. What if your camp is broken by Changmao, the defeated troops flee south and destroy my camp?"

"Oh," Wu Chaoyue was amused when he heard this, and quickly rushed to Zaiyuan next to him, "Your Prince Zai, did you hear it? This is how our monks serve the court and the emperor. Long Mao entrenched in Tianjin and threatened the capital. Our monks and princesses did not want to break the enemy as soon as possible. On the contrary, they only thought about the safety of his camp, and they were based on guards, and were useless to waste the court's money, grain and military pay, and did not intend to make progress at all."

"I have cut you down!"

Senggelinqin was furious and reached out to draw his sword. Zaiyuan, who saw that the situation was not good, quickly stopped between Wu Chaoyue and Senggelinqin. While posing a ***************, he shouted loudly, while comforting Senggelinqin with kind words, and forced Wu Chaoyue to apologize to Senggelinqin. Wu Chaoyue even apologized for apologizing, and bowed and said, "Prince forgives all the crimes. The emperor is too eager to kill all the Changmao in Tianjin to solve the problems of the emperor. The prince is also a minister of the court and a loyal minister of the emperor. Please forgive the anxious mood of the emperor."

Of course, Wu Chaoyue's words were still satirizing Senggelinqin for being greedy for life and fear of death, not being enterprising, but only wanting to protect himself. Senggelinqin, who was scolded by Emperor Xianfeng for this matter, could understand it, and of course even more angry and roared: "Okay, since you are so anxious to serve the court, then I will give you a chance! Wu Chaoyue obeys the order, and I will let you take the Changmao out of the city for me within seven days! Starting from tomorrow, within seven days, you cannot break the city, and you will be engaged in military law!"

"Seven days?" Wu Chaoyue was stunned, and then asked with surprise: "The monk prince, the imperial army surrounded the Tianjin court. It is not counted as other expenses, but just like military pay, it will cost at least 10,000 or 20,000 taels of silver every day, right? You actually have to take the officials to take the long-haired one out of the city in seven days. The imperial court has so much money that there is no place to put it?"

Zaiyuan opened his mouth wide, and Senggelinqin and other banner generals were all stunned. Wu Chaoyue smiled slightly and said, "Seven days are too long. I will give the officials five days to prepare and keep the long-haired ones out of the city."

"Five days?" Senggelinqin was even more speechless.

"If the prince still thinks it's too long, then three days!" Wu Chaoyue sneered: "In three days, the lower officials will definitely break through the long hair and leave the city!"

Senggelinqin finally came back to her senses. After looking at Wu Chaoyue for a moment, Senggelinqin smiled and said, "Wu Chaoyue, don't blame me for not reminding you. There is no joke in the army!"

"I am willing to issue a military order." Wu Chaoyue replied with a smile: "From tomorrow, within three days, if I can't take Changmao off the city, I'll be beheaded!"

When Senggelinqin heard this, he was overjoyed and asked Wu Chaoyue to write a military order on the spot. Wu Chaoyue said: "Of course the military order can be written by the subordinates, but Prince Monk, you are not an imperial minister. The emperor's will is to let the general Sheng control the front line's troops, and the subordinates should make military orders in front of him."

Senggelinqin sneered after hearing this. She said that Wu Chaoyue wanted to repent and changed her words. Senggelinqin did not hesitate and immediately sent someone to contact Shengbao and asked Shengbao to come forward to accept Wu Chaoyue's military order. As a result, Shengbao was overjoyed when he heard this. He went out of the camp once very rare, and went straight to Wu Chaoyue's military camp, forcing Wu Chaoyue to write the military order in front of him. Wu Chaoyue made trouble again and said to Shengbao: "Master Sheng, the military order can be written, but before that, you have to agree to the military order."

"Let me tell me." Sheng Bao replied.

"After breaking through Changmao and leaving the city, the subordinates will be directly controlled by you and will no longer accept the orders and commands of the monk prince." Wu Chaoyue replied lightly: "Is this request not too much?"

He looked at Senggelinqin in surprise and saw that Senggelinqin's black face had turned pale. Sheng Bao, who had been angry with Senggelinqin, felt a great pleasure in his heart. Without hesitation, he agreed to Wu Chaoyue's request. This matter became a slap in Senggelinqin's face. If he failed to take the opportunity to deal with Wu Chaoyue, Sheng Bao was of course unlucky to seek such a good thing as taking advantage of the profit. Wu Chaoyue didn't say anything more, and immediately wrote a military order that promised to break the city in three days, signed his ugly name and handed it over to Sheng Bao.

Holding Wu Chaoyue's military order, Shengbao left happily. Senggelinqin also strode with a blue face, but Zaiyuan complained to Wu Chaoyue, accusing Wu Chaoyue of not saying so much, leaving behind black and white words to give someone a handle. Wu Chaoyue replied with a relaxed expression: "Your Majesty, it's not that the lower official is arrogant, but that the lower official is really sure. If it weren't for my courage, I would have to prepare a little. In fact, I would like to say that I would take the long-haired person out of the city within the day."

"Are you so sure?" Zaiyuan asked in amazement.

Wu Chaoyue nodded and smiled and said, "Prince, if you trust Xiaguan and believe Xiaguan will not make jokes about his own heads, then you can write this matter into a secret copy so that the emperor can live the emperor to know about it. Then when Xiaguan breaks through Changmao and leaves the city to win a great victory, the emperor will definitely be even more happy."

In fact, there is no need for Wu Chaoyue to give advice. For such a major thing, Zaiyuan, who was originally here to monitor Wu Chaoyue, had to report to Emperor Xianfeng, so Zaiyuan nodded immediately and went to his camp to write a note. As a result, after Zaiyuan left, Zhao Liewen, who had not spoken, came up and smiled in front of Wu Chaoyue and said, "Weiting, you have done a pretty job. When you take it off the city, you don't have to worry about being angry with Shengbao and Senggelinqin at the same time. Shengdao Zheng is not a royal relative. Seeing the true combat power of our army, I think he will understand how to treat you. Our army's situation will inevitably change greatly."

After smiling, Wu Chaoyue suddenly felt a sudden heart, and he hurriedly asked Zhao Liewen in a low voice: "Huifu, will he forge other people's handwriting?"

"The basic appearance should be fine, but it is completely impossible. It is probably the flaws that are wise." Zhao Liewen replied very wisely.

"It's okay, all I want is to be seen through by others."

Wu Chaoyue attached it to Zhao Liewen's ear and whispered to a trick he had just figured out. Zhao Liewen was stunned when he heard it. After a while, he said to Wu Chaoyue: "Weiting, you still have the face to say that I have taken it bad. Your hand is a thousand times more bad than me!"

Wu Chaoyue smiled and said that it was Zhao Liewen, the master with pus flowing from the soles of his feet, who taught him well, and quickly urged Zhao Liewen to act according to the plan. Zhao Liewen agreed, and then frowned and said, "Weiting, although your plan is wonderful, there is one thing. What if Changmao does not cooperate?"

"Changmao is not a fool. How can they not seize such a good opportunity to disagree?" Wu Chaoyue asked with a smile, and then said, "Even if Li Kaifang and Ji Wenyuan are both fools, I don't know if I seize this opportunity and break the opportunity after leaving the city, as long as I can find this thing, the effect will not be the same?"

Giving a thumbs up to Wu Chaoyue, Zhao Liewen immediately went to follow the plan. Then late at night, Wu Dasai, under the protection of the Wu army patrol team, quietly touched the Taiping Army's exit from the city with a crossbow on his back......

…………

The next morning, an unexpected book of arrows suddenly came to Ji Wenyuan who was guarding the city, saying that someone shot into the city last night. When Ji Wenyuan picked up the book of arrows, he saw that there was only one short sentence in the book, Wu Chaoyue had already issued a military order in front of Shengbao. He could not take it out of the city within three days. Shengbao would definitely kill Wu Chaoyue! You only need to defend him for three days and Wu Chaoyue would die!

After calculating with the arrow book for a long time, Ji Wenyuan suddenly ordered: "Come here, arrange an envoy and ask him to take the white flag to send the arrow book to Qing Yao's camp."

"Prime Minister Ji, why do you do this?" asked left and right.
