There were two camps in the capital, one large and one small, inside and outside the city, each with its own garrison.
However, considering the substantial expansion during the war, most of the main forces were stationed outside the city.
Redistribute its various functions.
The same is true for the Fenwu Camp, but there are also differences. It is only responsible for training and killing the enemy!
They are the elite among the elites in all the camps in the capital, and have made countless contributions in the battles fought by Emperor Jing!
At this moment, a strange figure appeared in the small station in the city.
The person who came was Lian Yong, the eunuch who served Guo Tianyang.
In front of Lian Yong stood a man wearing armor, with a high nose and a broad forehead. He looked majestic and had a sense of authority without even being angry.
At this moment, he was holding the imperial edict, with a frown on his face.
After reading it several times, he raised his head and asked, "Fenwu Camp sent 300 men to attack Jinyiwei's 100-household unit at night. Are you sure you wrote it correctly, eunuch?"
"Where Meng Weimin is... this person has become famous, but there is no need to make such a big fuss!"
Lian Yong said: "General Guo, how could His Majesty's order be wrong? In addition to the Fenwu Camp, there are also 100 foreign soldiers from the East Factory cooperating in the operation."
Apart from asking to borrow three hundred elite soldiers, godfather let him handle the rest.
Then we have to do it carefully! Just add another hundred points!
"Four hundred people are fighting against a newly established centurion. Even if they are fully staffed, it is four times the number of troops!" General Guo picked up the imperial edict and examined it carefully as if he had seen a ghost.
After confirming once again, General Guo said with a puzzled look on his face: "Why do we need 400 people? Only 50 people from the Fenwu Camp can defeat them completely! Your Majesty is a master at commanding troops, how could you possibly give such a ridiculous order?"
Lian Yong lowered his head and said, "General, please be careful with your words! Don't think too much. Since the higher-ups have made arrangements, we should just follow them. I wonder if the city is fully manned now?"
General Guo sighed and said, "Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? If that's the case, then let's make the arrangements. However, there are not that many people in the city. I will immediately transfer troops from outside the city. When will the exercise begin?"
Lian Yong was about to speak when a burst of shouting came from outside the yard.
Li Yuanzhao rushed in, and when he saw Lian Yong, his eyes burst into surprise and he asked, "Are you Lian Yong? I heard from Guo Tianyang that you came here to mobilize troops for the exercise?"
He had been looking forward to the exercise for a long time and had been sending people to get information from Guo Tianyang, just waiting to give Lao Fang a hard time.
Now that we have started the action, how can we just sit there and do nothing?
The two of them looked at the same time, and Lian Yong knelt down hurriedly and said, "This servant greets His Highness!"
General Guo also smiled and bowed. The prince had met him quite often and was particularly fond of his carefree personality.
"Your Highness, His Majesty has issued a written order to mobilize 300 elite soldiers from the Fenyong Battalion and 100 soldiers from the East Factory to attack the Hundred Households Office where Meng Weimin is located tonight."
Li Yuanzhao stopped walking, his expression a little dull, "Four hundred people? I've inquired about the Jinyiwei, and they are not fully staffed at all. Your troops are at least seven or eight times theirs, and they have only been trained for a short time. Isn't this a bit unfair to win?"
General Guo smiled bitterly and said, "I thought so too, but... His Majesty must have his own plans. Although I have never been outside, I have heard that the Jinyiwei has strict discipline. I believe that Lord Fang must have his own strengths."
Then he paused again, "But four hundred people... are indeed too many. Even if we win, it will be a shame!"
Three hundred top elite soldiers are needed to fight against a hundred households, and they also have to bring along a hundred Dongchang soldiers.
What's the difference between this behavior and shitting in the street in the eyes of peers?
It's embarrassing whether you win or lose. If this matter spreads to other Beijing camps, I'm afraid everyone will laugh their heads off!
"This matter is indeed a bit strange. Let me see the imperial edict from my father." Li Yuanzhao said.
General Guo handed over the imperial edict silently.
Li Yuanzhao unfolded it and glanced at it, then he was happy.
"It doesn't say how many people are to be mobilized, it just says they are to supplement the East Factory. How can there be a logic in the world to send out 100 people to supplement 300 people! I think Guo Tianyang is guilty, haha!"
"Your Highness! That's not true... It's really not true." Lian Yong was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead and he explained in a panic.
Seeing this scene, General Guo suddenly felt as if something had opened his eyes.
So that's how it is, that makes sense!
Your Majesty is very experienced and it is impossible for him to issue such an unreasonable order.
That must be the East Factory taking advantage of the operating space.
Thinking of this, General Guo glanced at Lian Yong with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
Seeing Lian Yong sweating profusely from anxiety, Li Yuanzhao said with a smile: "Why are you so anxious! His arrangement is correct, but Lao Fang is outstanding! That guy has so many crooked ideas that it's scary."
"Since we have won unfairly, let's add another 200 people and order them to disguise themselves as civilians and launch a surprise attack in three directions! We must be fully prepared. No one can underestimate us, but we must not underestimate you."
General Guo was surprised and said, "Your Highness...you."
"I can't miss such a good opportunity this time! I will personally lead the troops to capture the Hundred Households Office and capture Meng Weimin alive!" Li Yuanzhao was full of confidence. "Don't worry, I have already informed my father."
The prince personally led the troops into battle?
General Guo didn't react much. He knew both His Majesty and the Crown Prince well. Moreover, the Crown Prince should have already given instructions after receiving the news from the palace.
The exercise is just a trivial matter. We can pick any Jinyiwei in the capital at random and it will take less than half an hour. There is nothing that the Fenwu Camp cannot defeat!
The prince’s safety is naturally not a problem. He goes straight back to the palace after the fight. There’s nothing wrong with that!
Lian Yong on the side hesitated and said uncertainly: "Your Highness, this time it is your servant..."
