Chapter 30 Defeat the Enemy by Walking

"My lord, is this city under attack? He Hutou said.

"What do you think?" Zhang Xuan asked.

He Hutou shook his head and said, "This city is not easy to attack. ”

Zhang Xuan nodded, Lu Zhenfei was very ruthless, and burned almost all the houses outside the county seat.

Because the three-story wooden building was not even much different from the city wall, Zhang Xuan could see the traces near the city wall, and he could directly climb the city wall from the buildings outside the city. You don't even need to build siege equipment. And most of the moat was filled.

Not because of anything else, but to build a building for the sake of land.

It seems that there are illegal buildings, both ancient and modern.

can burn down so many houses in one fire, Zhang Xuan counts, there are probably more than 1,000 houses, I don't know how many people will be homeless. Being able to do this shows that Lu Zhenfei is a person with wrists.

In this way, why did Zhang Xuan have to touch a hard stone. Even He Hutou can see the thing. Zhang Xuan couldn't see it.

"Are all the generals back?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"I'm back." He Hutou said: "I'm waiting for you to go back, general." ”

Not long after, Zhang Xuan returned to the camp, but he heard the people in the camp shouting horse neighing, especially the sound of horse neighing increased greatly, and he knew that Yang Shenzu and Jin Shenghuan had returned.

Zhang Xuan entered the big tent, and dozens of generals got up and said, "Meet the commander." ”

"Sit." Zhang Xuan pressed his hand downward and said, "General Yang, how did General Jin and General Jin gain?" ”

"My lord, I broke three fences and collected 200 stones of grain." Jin Shenghuan said.

"The vicinity of Suining seems to have been cleared by the strong walls of the government." Yang Shenzu said: "The people who stayed outside the city were all small people, and there were no big households, so they returned empty-handed. ”

Zhang Xuan nodded and said: "Our army has plenty of food, remember to only hit large households, as long as food, don't kill people casually, just give them an IOU." ”

Anyway, on the IOU, the name of King Wu is written, and it will be returned by the court of the new dynasty in the future, so Zhang Xuan doesn't mind making random promises, just empty checks.

"Remember, the rebel army is different from the official army, and you must not kill people indiscriminately." Zhang Xuan said, his gaze lingered on Jin Shenghuan slightly, and then turned to other places.

Jin Shenghuan felt Zhang Xuan's gaze, and his palms were slightly sweaty.

Now among the various departments under Zhang Xuan, that is, Jin Shenghuan's department, the military discipline is the worst. The problem of military discipline has never been changed by changing a banner, and when military discipline was not good when he was an officer in the army, when he was transferred to the rebel army, he immediately became strict in military discipline.

That's impossible.

Therefore, during this period of time, Jin Shenghuan's subordinates have been disposed of by Zhang Xuan for violating military discipline

Once, Jin Shenghuan's subordinates wanted to mutiny, but Zhang Xuan immediately sent Linying Camp and Baoding Battalion to surround Jin Shenghuan's camp.

It was Jin Shenghuan who went out of the camp to plead guilty and handed over more than a dozen officers to understand the matter.

Now that I think about it, Jin Shenghuan still has palpitations in his heart. Only then did I understand that the military law, which was almost worthless among the officers and soldiers, was the most important thing here for Zhang Xuan, and Zhang Xuan would rather make a mutiny than allow the soldiers below to disobey his decree.

"I just saw how the city defense of Suining is, Lu Zhenfei is heavily guarded, and it is not easy to deal with. I'm going to bypass Suining and head south. Zhang Xuan said: "What do you think? ”

Cao Zongyu will never come forward to oppose Zhang Xuan, even if he has an opinion, he will say it privately. And Yuan Shizhong and Yang Shenzu didn't think there was any problem, after all, the righteous army couldn't attack the city, and it was too normal to go around the city. As for Jin Shenghuan, who had just been warned by Zhang Xuan, he wouldn't say anything.

In this matter, Zhang Xuan can make a decision.

"Obey your lordship's orders." The crowd said.

Immediately, Zhang Xuan began to issue an order, saying: "All battalions are on alert, Cao Zongyu." ”

Cao Zongyu said: "The last will be." ”

"It's up to you to build a bridge over the water." Zhang Xuan said.

"Yes." Cao Zongyu said.

"After Cao Zongyu built a bridge, the other departments crossed the river in turn." Zhang Xuan said: "I don't believe it, this thousand-mile canal, he Lu Zhenfei can block it all." Qin Meng. ”

"The end will be." Qin Meng said.

Now after the First Battle of Xuzhou, even though Qin Meng returned the cavalry under his command to Jin Shenghuan, but some of the various departments were transferred, Zhang Xuan still gathered Qin Meng's subordinates into thousands of horsemen as Zhang Xuan's guards. Generally act in conjunction with the Linying Battalion.

"Send someone to send a letter to Lu Zhenfei, saying that I am waiting for him in the south." Zhang Xuan said.

"Yes." Qin Meng said.

Zhang Xuan gave an order, and Qin Meng moved very fast.

But in an hour, an arrow was shot at the head of Suining City, and a letter was wrapped around the long arrow, and the people below immediately gave it to the standard general Wen Huaizhong, Wen Huaizhong did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent it to Lu Zhenfei's hands.

After reading it, Lu Zhenfei frowned slightly and said, "This thief is so slippery." ”

As far as Lu Zhenfei is concerned, he would rather Zhang Xuan come to attack Suining City, Suining City is a small city, there are enough soldiers in the city to guard it, even if the city wall is not too high, but the materials are abundant, and it is not a problem to defend it for more than ten days, or even a month or two. At that time, the reinforcements from Jiangnan should also arrive.

But the thief left like this, but it was difficult for Lu Zhenfei to do, after all, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and it is not so easy to defeat the enemy in the field.

"My lord, what are we going to do?" Wen Huaizhong said.

"What should I do?" Lu Zhenfei pondered for a while and said, "Pai."

The convoy was sent over, and we took the waterway to the south to protect the line of the Yellow River. ”

"And what about Quy Nhon Ji?" Wen Huaizhong said.

"What should I do?" Lu Zhenfei said: "I am the governor of Caoyun, and I should focus on Caoyun. ”

The Yellow River seizes the Huai into the sea, from Xuzhou all the way to the southeast, this section of the Cao Yun, in fact, is also borrowed from the Yellow River's waterway. For Lu Zhenfei, the most important thing is to protect the canal, the lifeline of Beijing, not a small town.

Even though Quy Nhon Town is a famous and prosperous place in Jiangbei, known as Little Suzhou, it is the same.

There has to be a trade-off.

The two armies made a slight contact in Suining, with a little bit of unfazedness, and then separated, Zhang Xuan thought that if he wrote a book to provoke, he would be able to let Lu Zhenfei chase after him, and when the time came, he would kill another horse pistol, and he just defeated Lu Zhenfei, but he didn't want Lu Zhenfei to be Qiu Lei.

This old fox is not something that can be moved by words at all.

"Still, that's fine." Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "Anyway, I'm just going to go south." ”

Zhang Xuan's eyes looked back and forth on the map, looking southwest, looking over, where was not somewhere else, it was Fengyang.

After all, on the East China Plain, there is no absolute natural danger, Zhang Xuan wants to go to Fengyang, and there is no pass that can stop him, except for a Huai River. Therefore, the biggest difficulty before Zhang Xuan arrived in Fengyang was actually how to find a way to cross the Huai River silently.

Therefore, he was bent on showing outsiders that he was entangled with Lu Zhenfei, so that everyone would think that he intended the canal. And secretly, find a way to raid Fengyang.

In addition to that, he is still waiting for news.

What I was waiting for was news from Sun Chuanting.

As soon as Sun Chuanting moved, he didn't have to grind foreign workers here, just turn around and go south, and go straight to Fengyang.

"It's just that when will this Sun Chuanting be dispatched?" Zhang Xuan was depressed in his heart, he was depressed that he couldn't remember the historical details, he really couldn't remember when Sun Chuanting and Li Zicheng fought the last battle. I can only wait secretly.

And he also knew that even if Sun Chuanting moved, it would probably take about ten days for the news to reach his ears.

The news transmission in this era is so speechless, and Zhang Xuan's command is inferior to Luo Rucai, Luo Rucai at least has a special intelligence agency, and if he doesn't give it, he won't give it anything, and Zhang Xuan doesn't have it at all, it's not that he doesn't want to have it, but he can't find a talent who can take on a big role.

"Talent, talent." As soon as Zhang Xuan thought of this, he really understood what it was called, and he was eager to seek talents.

However, Zhang Xuan's news is blocked, it does not mean that other people's news is also blocked, Sun Chuanting's news, Zhang Xuan does not know, but others already know. For example, Li Zicheng.

At this moment, Xiangyang City is obviously in a hot spot. Li Zicheng is about to send troops.
