  Chapter 1707 Lax Sandbar Army

Zhu Pingan commanded the Zhejiang army to set up camp next to the Jianghuai camp of Linhuaihou. Some Zhejiang troops dug trenches outside the camp, and some Zhejiang troops went to the woods to cut trees to make antlers and fences. The battalion took shape and was heavily guarded.

Marquis Linhuai, who had been on the sidelines, looked at the heavily guarded Zhejiang army camp, and at his sloppy and sloppy Jianghuai camp. Nephew, there is no need to be like this. We just set up camp here for two days. Tomorrow we will sacrifice to the sea, and the day after tomorrow we will go back to the camp. It took so much effort to dig trenches and build antler fences, and wait for the day after tomorrow to pull out the camp. It's all wasted."

"Uncle, there is an uproar in the sea sacrifice this time. Almost everyone in the south of the Yangtze River knows it. Arrange ditches and antlers, increase vigilance, and prevent Japanese pirates from taking advantage of it.”

  Zhu Pingan shook his head slightly, and explained seriously, suggesting that the Jianghuai Camp of Linhuaihou should also be careful.

"Hehe, nephew, you are worrying too much. We have 12,800 elite soldiers in Shazhou this time. I brought 3,000 elite soldiers, General Yu Dayou also brought 3,000 elite soldiers, and Lord Hu Zongxian brought 2,000 elite soldiers. Elite soldiers, General Tang Kekuan from West Zhejiang also brought two thousand elite soldiers, veterans He Qing and Shen Xiyi each brought one thousand elite soldiers, and my nephew, you eight hundred elite soldiers."

"That's not enough. General Lu Tong led 3,000 sailors to cruise in Haikou. Veteran generals such as Yi Feng and Ke Qiao stationed troops more than ten miles away from the east, south, and north of Shazhou. It’s like a tiger with its mouth open. Once there is a change in the sandbar, they can immediately pull out their camp to come to support, and join forces with our army on the sandbar from inside and outside, attacking back and forth, forming an encirclement.”

"The Japanese pirates have eaten the bear's heart and leopard's guts, and they are still impatient. Dare to come to the sandbar to stroke their beards?! As long as they dare to come, it is tantamount to getting into the pocket, and they will die without a place to bury them. "

   "So, dear nephew, you don't have to be so careful. You'll have to stand all day tomorrow to show off. Instead of wasting your energy digging ditches and fences that only take two days, it's better to recharge your batteries."

  Marquis Linhuai smiled and shook his head, instead of adopting Zhu Pingan's suggestion, he persuaded Zhu Pingan to save some effort.

  Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an understood, because with the presence of a large army, Marquis Linhuai didn't believe that Japanese pirates dared to come to the sandbar to make trouble.

   Can't help but feel helpless.

  Although the sandbar is now full of troops, there are still troops stationed in the east, south, and north directions. The entire sandbar looks like an open mouth, like a tiger ready to pounce, full of deterrence...

  However, in the Jianghuai camp of the Marquis of Linhuai, the entire camp is paralyzed and careless, and the defense is lax, and the surrounding military camps are almost the same. It is not much better than the Jianghuai camp, or even worse.

  This tiger with its mouth open, ready to pounce, and seemingly intimidating, is actually dozing off, full of flaws.

   This gave the Japanese pirates an opportunity to take advantage of.

  The Jianghuai camp of Marquis Linhuai is next door to him. If there is any change in the Jianghuai camp, once it becomes chaotic, it will inevitably affect his own Zhejiang army camp. This is a personal hidden danger that must be eliminated.

  Zhu Ping'an knew that it would be difficult to convince Marquis Linhuai, but when he rolled his eyes slightly, he had an idea.

   "Uncle, this time I came to assist Jihai, should I just stand there for a day and go back just to show off?"

  Zhu Ping'an approached Linhuaihou and asked in a low voice.

   "What does nephew mean?" Marquis Linhuai heard Zhu Pingan's subtext, and asked with interest.

"This time offering sacrifices to the sea, the chief priest is the imperial envoy Zhao Wenhua, the deputy priest is the governor Zhang Jing, the ministers of the Ministry of Soldiers of Yingtian, the minister of the Ministry of Rites of Yingtian, the governor of Zhejiang, the governor of Zhejiang and the supervisory censor of Zhejiang, all gathered here. Do these senior officials leave an image of being smart and capable and capable of taking on important responsibilities?" Zhu Ping'an smiled and said in a low voice.

   Don’t you want to leave a shrewd and capable image in the minds of Zhao Wenhua, Zhang Jing and other bigwigs?!

  I want to, I dream about it!

Marquis Linhuai almost blurted out, but he finally became the deputy chief soldier, and his concentration has improved a lot. He coughed, nodded, and said frankly: "Ahem, of course I want to. Now that the Japanese plague is serious, It is a good opportunity for our generation to make meritorious service. If it can be passed on to Governor Zhang and Mr. Zhao, they will be able to leave an impression of being smart and capable and capable of taking on great responsibilities. In the future, they will surely occupy a good position in their great cause of suppressing the Japanese and earn a lot of money. step."

"It's just that we lead the army to assist in offering sacrifices to the sea. It only takes two or three days. It's just for show and to deter Japanese pirates from coming to make trouble. How can we leave Governor Zhang and Master Zhao with such a smart and capable task in such a short time? , What about the impression that you can take on a heavy responsibility?" Marquis Linhuai shook his head with a wry smile and asked with a puzzled expression.

   "Then now is a good opportunity." Zhu Pingan smiled.

   "What good opportunity?" Marquis Linhuai rubbed the back of his head, puzzled like Jieer's monk.

"Look, Uncle, the temporary camp over there, and that, that, have you noticed? These camps are very poorly built, with no ditches, no antlers, and no patrolling guards. They look like they are undefended, but If you look at our Zhejiang army camp again, with a little bit of effort, digging trenches, arranging antlers and fences, you will immediately stand out from the crowd. Tomorrow will be a sacrifice to the sea. Governor Zhang and Mr. Zhao will definitely come out to inspect the sandbar. When they see When they are sloppy camps and heavily guarded Zhejun camps, how do you think Governor Zhang and Master Zhao will evaluate the commanders of each battalion?"

  Zhu Ping'an pointed to the surrounding camps with a rough layout, smiled slightly, and said to Marquis Linhuai.

"That's right! The contrast is so stark, the governors must think that my nephew is rigorous in running the army, smart and capable, and has the style of "Zhou Yafu", and he can take on great responsibilities!" Lin Qiaohou's eyes lit up suddenly, and he looked at Zhu Ping'an with a sudden realization, and vigorously He patted Zhu Ping's family on the shoulder, and said with admiration, "I understand my nephew, no wonder my nephew is willing to make great efforts to set up camp even if it will be demolished in two days."

Then, Zhu Pingan saw Linhuaihou, who was as fat as a ball in armor, striding towards the Jianghuai camp, standing at the gate and shouting, "Come here, come here, Vice General Xu, hurry up, send someone to dig Trench, go to the woods to cut wood to make antlers and fences, like the Zhe Army camp, give me strict security, and arrange soldiers and horses to patrol around the camp in turn."

   "Master Hou, we will leave the camp the day after tomorrow, what are we going to do with all this effort?" the lieutenant general was puzzled.

"You know what a fart. This is called strict military management. What's the matter with the effort? If they have nothing to do, they will find trouble for me. Hurry up, before dinner, I will see that the ditches and antler fences are all in place! Otherwise, take You are asking!"

  Marquis Linhuai scolded the lieutenant with a big belly and angrily, and sprayed the lieutenant's face with spitting stars.

   "Yes, yes." The lieutenant wiped the saliva off his face and nodded.

   Soon, the Jianghuai camp became busy amidst complaints and cursing, and ditches and fences gradually took shape...

  Marquis Linhuai raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction, and Zhu Ping'an beside him also raised the corners of his lips.
