By the time Sun Yuan led the troops into Liu Chao's old camp, it was already afternoon. Last night's strong winds had long since stopped, and the sky was cloudless blue again.

The scorching sun shone down unobstructed, shooting on people's skin, and it hurt hotly.

It turned out that Sun Yuan's idea that the horse chopping knife was the most valuable trophy of this real capital was correct, and Liu Chao's old camp had nothing decent at all. There were not many weapons, mules and horses, and even a few grains of food could not be found, so I asked a prisoner, only to learn that because of the severe drought, the thief army did not get any replenishment after coming to Suzhou. This is also the reason why they did not want to attack Suzhou City a while ago.

This Liu Chao is trapped like this, thinking about opening the Suzhou passage and then going straight to Fengyang, doesn't he know how to eat with the army? Even if you take a detour to Xuzhou, it's better than carrying Ma Shiying here! If you can't do it, you can also go to Henan to join Li Zicheng!

Sun Yuan's contempt for Liu Chao was even worse in his heart, and he couldn't help shaking his head when he walked in the messy camp.

Walking in the old camp of Liu Thief, there were cavalry of the Ningxiang Army everywhere in front of him, and they carried out the corpses of the thieves like sacks.

In the distance outside the camp, Tang Wenxing and others were holding a group of prisoners digging a pit to bury their bodies

。

"How did our army get it?" Killing a group of waste-like rogues and not much capture, this is the first time that the Ningxiang Army has encountered it in many years of war, and Sun Yuan really can't lift his spirits.

Yu Xiang: "General, our army has been beheaded more than 1,800 in this battle. As for the captives, ......" he pointed to the homeless people all over the field outside, and shook his head with a wry smile: "I can't count them, but the ghost only knows how many." ”

Sun Yuan: "Let Governor Ma have a headache about this, how much has our army lost?" ”

"General, our army lost eleven people, twenty were slightly wounded, and three were seriously wounded."

Sun Yuan asked again: "What about the loss of the war horse?" ”

Yu Xiang: "More than forty war horses died, all of them died of thirst. The weather was too hot and dry, and more than a hundred military horses ran away. ”

"The loss is not small!" Thinking of the loss of more than a hundred war horses, Sun Yuan stomped his feet angrily: "Pass the order, after the troops drink the horses, let's drive into Suzhou, let the soldiers take a good bath, and rest for two days." ”

According to the military system of the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent troops from disturbing the people, the army could not enter the city during the march unless it was necessary for the war. However, this Suzhou is thousands of miles away, and I can't even find a mouthful of clean water, so who cares about this.

After hearing Sun Yuan's order to let the troops enter the city, everyone smiled.

Sun Yuan: "By the way, Jing Ran should be the first merit in this battle, and he should be rewarded, and when the army returns to the town after this battle, he should report to the military department, and there will be another reward." There is also that Leng Ying, since Jing Ran pleaded for mercy, he was spared death. ”

"Yes."

Just as Sun Yuan was gathering his troops and preparing to march to Suzhou, a guard came over, "General Yu, Governor Ma is here, and he is collecting prisoners over there." ”

"Oh, everyone come with me to Governor Ma."

There are a lot of soldiers and horses in Lufeng, but because their combat effectiveness is too low, they can only be responsible for collecting prisoners.

Seeing Sun Yuan coming over with a cavalry covered in dried blood, the faces of the soldiers of the Lu Feng Army showed reverence, and even with a hint of fear, they quickly flashed to the side.

With 2,000 to 30,000, after such an unprecedented victory, even the soldiers of the Lufeng Army who did not have the skill of an inch of arrows were all happy

。

However, Ma Shiying still had a dignified face, and his attitude was not so good, and when he saw Sun Yuan, he made a tiger face: "General Sun, I heard that you want to take the troops into Suzhou to rest for two days?" ”

"After a long march, a gallop all the way, and another terrible battle, the soldiers and horses are tired, and they should rest for two days." Sun Yuan's temperament is that you respect me a foot, and I respect you. Ma Shiying has been looking raw since she met her. Now, he has made such a great contribution, this Governor Ma not only did not praise much, but threw his face to show himself, Sun Yuancai was too lazy to bird him: "I have already given an order, Governor Ma, you greet the soldiers and civilians in the city, and let them prepare our army's houses and grain first." ”

"You, you...... Confused! Suddenly, Ma Shiying, who had always had a calm expression, broke out, pointed at Sun Yuan and shouted: "Liu Chao, Yin Owl is brave, the Ningxiang Army should use the advantage of the cavalry coming and going like the wind to bite him and take him down." If he is allowed to escape, isn't this a return to the mountains? Take a two-day break, take a two-day break, you can say it. Two days later, Liu Chao ran back to Yongcheng's lair. When he returns to his hometown, won't this battle be fought for a long time? ”

"The yin owl is brave, the tiger returns to the mountain, joke!" Sun Yuan was furious, when Lao Tzu didn't come, you Ma Shiying hid in Suzhou City as a turtle with a shrunken head, and was bullied by Liu Chao so that no one is a ghost or a ghost. If it weren't for the help of my Ningxiang army in the starry night, and defeated the main force of Liu Thief in the first battle, maybe Suzhou would have been taken by others, and you, Ma Shiying, would have been the soul of his sword.

Now, Lao Tzu solved the war in Suzhou in the first war, but you didn't let our army enter the city, but urged me to send troops, what is the reason?

Jealousy, surely jealousy.

Ma Shiying is a famous traitor in history, and it must not be wrong in the book. According to Lao Tzu, this person is a narrow-minded villain like Gao Qiqian.

Sun Yuan: "Why, when my Ningxiang army didn't come, Governor Ma, you hid in the city to enjoy the blessings, why did you urge me to attack as soon as I arrived, it was difficult for your Lufeng army to be human, and my Ningxiang army was not human?" ”

This was quite unkind, and the faces of the people around Ma Shiying changed greatly.

Ma Shiying still had that faint expression, and he was not angry: "If General Sun thinks so, he will not defend himself." is still the same sentence, the old man was familiar with Liu Thief when he was in Guizhou, and he knew the truth about this person. Liu Chao is extremely cunning and is not an easy person to deal with. Although General Sun won a great victory in this battle, if he was allowed to flee back to Yongcheng, where he would be his lair, and the right time and place would be right for all three. If you can't take down his head as soon as possible, I'm afraid this battle will not be easy to fight in the future

。 ”

"Haha!" Sun Yuan was extremely angry and laughed loudly: "Governor Ma, you treat Liu Chao like a tiger, that's because Liu Chao didn't meet my Ningxiang Tieqi, in a certain opinion, he Liu Chao is just a kitten." Master Ma is the left squire of the military department, and the governor Nan Zhili is a soldier and horse, and Sun Yuan is naturally the key to the military order you ordered. However, the war horse was already weak and could no longer be used. If we are forced to attack, it is not in accordance with the art of war. Governor, Sun Yuan is not boasting, he has also experienced a hundred battles over the years, but the things about the war are clear. ”

After speaking, he raised his whip: "Go, enter the city!" ”

"Yes!" The cavalry horses roared in response, and the horses' hooves rolled up a cloud of smoke and dust unscrupulously.

The flying dust forced Ma Shiying and everyone to dodge unconsciously.

One of the staff members coughed again and again, and shouted angrily: "Reckless, arrogant, arrogant, annoying, governor, be the law of march!" ”

Ma Shiying shook his head: "General Sun is a talent, talent is always a little temperamental, Ma has just come into contact with him, it is normal for him to disobey me, and he will see people's hearts for a long time." It's a pity that Liu Chao is gone this time, but I'm afraid that the war will change greatly. ”

A staff member: "Liu Chao's losses are huge, there is nothing to worry about, why should the governor worry." ”

Ma Shiying: "A certain is just speculation. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the northwest.

The staff's face changed drastically: "Is the governor worried about the thieves?" ”

Ma Shiying smiled bitterly rarely: "Perhaps, ......" was silent for a moment, and did not mention the matter again.

That night, Sun Yuan drove 2,000 cavalry and 1,000 troops directly under the town into Suzhou City.

The city of Suzhou in this era was not large, and it was only one vertical and one horizontal and two streets more than one mile long, which was similar to a town in later generations. was surrounded by Liu Chao for many days, and there were traces of fire on the city wall, and the east and west were all dried up human blood.

Many houses were demolished at the base of the city wall, and it is estimated that the building materials were transported to the city to make wood and rolling stones.

Several trembling officials stepped forward to greet Sun Yuan, and after Sun Yuan proposed to let them settle their own army, those people looked embarrassed, saying that Lord Huang of Zhizhou had died on the city wall in the defense of the city four days ago. As for the treasury in the city, it was also issued by Ma Shiying to the city guards

。

Sun Yuan was annoyed that he couldn't get food and straw to replenish, and asked them to find a room for the soldiers to live in. But a few officials said that since Huang Zhizhou's death, all government affairs in the city have been taken care of by Governor Ma, and this matter has to be done with his nod.

Sun Yuan was furious, and he didn't bother to waste saliva with these people, so he immediately asked Yu Xiang to organize people to fill the street number house.

Fortunately, the people in the city are grateful to the Ningxiang Army for relieving the siege of Suzhou and saving everyone's lives, and they are all enthusiastic to entertain everyone. In this way, the sergeants of Ningxiang traveled for many days, and finally had clean water and hot food.

That night, the city was full of people who killed pigs and sheep, and the aroma of wine and food floated everywhere, and the soldiers of the Ningxiang Army ate happily one by one. It feels very good to be able to save the people of the city and be grateful to everyone.

After a day of fighting, Sun Yuan ate two corners of wine and went to bed. I didn't sleep for a day and a night, my body and bones seemed to fall apart, and as soon as my head stuck to the pillow, I fell asleep to death.

A rush of footsteps sounded, and when I opened my eyes, it was already the second day, and it was the middle of the day, and I slept until noon.

It was Yu Xiang who came, and he reported that Ma Shiying's side had collected all the prisoners, with a total of more than 12,000 people.

In other words, in this battle, nearly half of the thief army was taken prisoner.

Sun Yuan waved his hand to indicate that he understood, and asked Yu Xiang to retreat and prepare to continue sleeping, so he didn't bother to worry about this kind of thing.

Yu Xiang didn't leave, Sun Yuan waited for a long time, felt that something was wrong, and sat up: "What's the matter?" ”

Xiao Yu hesitated for a long time before he said, "General, there are two more things." ”

"Say."

"First, after Governor Ma screened the captives last night, in addition to expelling women, children, children and the elderly, all the remaining young and strong people were killed."

"How many are killed?" Sun Yuan's eyes were about to fall to the ground.

Yu Xiang: "There are more than 4,000 people in total, and they are ten miles east of the city. It was said that it was buried all night before it was done. ”

"Ah, four thousand." Sun Yuan's goosebumps rose, and he couldn't help but take a sharp breath of cold air.
