Chapter 596: Pavilion Elder gives way
On the south bank of the muddy water, He Yilong reorganized the military camp, has been restored for many days, and no longer dared to act rashly, all day long with his thieves cruising on the south bank of the muddy water, a few days of hard work, some generals couldn't help but ask: "Why is the big boss only running horses by this muddy water?" ”
Unexpectedly, He Yilong seemed to have palpitations and said: "It's not strange if you say it's strange, in those days, I always dreamed that the officers and soldiers would suddenly emerge from the edge of this muddy water, if I only sat in the Chinese army, I always worried that I hadn't investigated it carefully, and if I didn't walk around this muddy water in person one day, I would always have trouble sleeping!" ”
The subordinate was silent when he heard this, and later sighed and sighed again and again when he talked about the conversation by the river with the thieves of the same army.
"The big boss has been fighting with the official army for nearly ten years, and he has experienced countless vicious battles, and he has countless scars on his body, so I don't want to be scared by the officials and the army today......
There was a faint hint of disdain in the subordinate's speech, which is not surprising, the thieves were originally made up of small gatherings, what prestige and qualifications are bullshit, the only thing that can really unite people's hearts is force, who is strong and strong, who has repeatedly defeated the official army, the thieves around him will gather more and more, otherwise they can only be eliminated like a big Lang Taosha.
Later, the eyes of that subordinate reached He Yilong's ears, and people thought that the big boss would definitely kill this person to establish his authority, but the result was very unexpected. He Yilong's face was full of disapproval, and he gave up after scolding, and never dealt with this person.
Although He Yilong did not blame others for his words, the more he thought about it after the general went back, the more frightened he became, for fear that one day He Yilong would settle the old account, so he took the opportunity to go out of the camp to investigate and fled with a hundred and ten people, and went to return to Ma Shouying.
After He Yilong learned that his generals had fled, he only responded lightly: "The Zhuzi despises the Ming Dynasty and will be killed by him sooner or later!" "Of course, at this moment, no one could have imagined that the big boss would be able to say a word.
On the night of the rebel general's escape, shocking news finally came from the direction of the Huai River, the official army captured Hou Qi attacked Linhuai City, broke the He Jin defenders, and fell into the city in a battle. He Jin's 30,000 army was scattered, and even He Jin himself did not know life and death.
Knowing that the Marquis of Zhenyu actually turned into the Huai River, and then captured the eastern gateway of the central capital Fengyang, everyone was silent. As we all know, Linhuai is only 20 miles away from Fengyang, the capital of China, and the longitudinal horse gallops for half an hour and can even run back and forth, which shows the importance of Linhuai. It's just that the officials and soldiers can't measure themselves, even if they can defeat He Jin in Linhuai, there are 100,000 thieves under Lao Huihui's command, and one person can drown them with a mouthful of spit......
However, the reason why the thieves in the camp were silent was that they were afraid of angering the big leader He Yilong, and in the eyes of the thieves in the camp, as long as their own leaders involved the officials and soldiers and the marquis, they would have a strange temper and unreasonable. In fact, it is no wonder that at the beginning, He Yilong repeatedly shouted for the annihilation of the officials and troops of the Hou Hou Department of Zhenzhen, and even took the initiative to attack several times, but in the end, they were all defeated, not to mention, and suffered a big loss in the hands of others, and only 100 of the 5,000 old camp brothers died. It's better to mention it less than this kind of thing that makes him slap in the face!
Just when everyone was cautious, He Yilong actually took the initiative to mention this matter in the middle of a discussion, and even said a few words with a bit of hindsight: "Lao Tzu has already sent a letter to the brother of the Ben family, warning him to despise anyone, don't despise the official army of the marquis, what is happening now?" It's not the answer to that sentence! ”
The thieves and soldiers of the congregation looked at each other, and listened to the words of the big leader, how could there be such a sense of schadenfreude?
"Now that we know the whereabouts of the official army, please make a decision as soon as possible to avenge the dead brother! The villain is willing to lead the striker for the big boss! ”
One of the thieves couldn't help but take the initiative to ask for battle, and the rest of the people also asked He Yilong to fight when they saw that they had a leader. For a time, the crowd was excited, and Dayou immediately raised troops and pulled out the camp, leveling the posture of the Linhuai official army in one fell swoop. After a long time, He Yilong pressed his hands weakly, and then waved his hands again.
"This revenge will not be avenged, and it will stand between heaven and earth! However, this revenge is also divided into how to repay the law......" As he spoke, he looked at the subordinate who first proposed to ask for battle, and said: "This leader has learned from the pain for several days, and has come to a conclusion, there are only two kinds of winning this war, one is to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, and the other is to surrender without a fight, and he will not die or hurt a single person, and destroy the enemy = Kou." He Yilong's tone was raised by this, his eyes swept around the military tent, and then he asked: "Tell me, which method is good?" ”
Everyone didn't want to think about it, and they all said that naturally they would not die or hurt anyone, and the second method was good. Even a few of the thieves who had the highest morale in the war situation said so bluntly. He Yilong smiled and leaned back against the bed.
"Look, don't you all know how to choose? We don't need to send a single soldier, naturally someone will clean up the official army! ”
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that the big boss was using a plan to kill people with a knife, and he still used thirty-six strategies after making trouble for a long time! When he had just suffered a fiasco, the big boss had scolded the thirty-six plans for being useless, and everyone thought that he would never mention it again, and they didn't want to mention it in public today.
"It's all gone, it's gone, go back and rest early......"
After driving away his subordinates, He Yilong lay comfortably on the bed behind him, he still had a hidden idea that he didn't say in public, the official army Zhenhou occupied Linhuai, and the horse turned back to hurt, and let these people who dared to despise themselves taste the power of the erection.
At this moment, He Yilong's heart was really a little entangled, and he hoped that Ma Huihui would give him a head-on blow, annihilate him in a battle, and avenge his dead brother. On the other hand, he hoped that Ma Hui would suffer a big loss when he hit a nail at the Zhenju Marquis Li Xin, so as to prove that he was not unjustly defeated. The previous defeats were not due to his own inability, but because the town was too powerful!
It's just that this kind of slightly dirty mind, how can it be for outsiders, so it can only be a person who cares about it in private.
The junction of the Grand Canal and the Huai River, to the west is the endless Hongze Lake, on the north bank there is Qinghe County, and on the south bank is Shanyang City, the seat of Huai'an Mansion! Zhang Fangyan led 2,000 strong followers from Shandong in Jixi Bingbei Road, and was crossing the Qinghe River in a big boat, and was about to arrive at the first destination, Shanyang City.
There are nearly 20,000 garrisons of the imperial court here, one is to shield the security of the eastern part of the central capital Fengyang, and the other is to defend the vast area north of Nanjing to the Huanghuai waterway. Zhang Fangyan was also the governor of Nan Zhili and the errand of Zhejiang's military and political affairs, so he naturally had the right to promote these horses. Therefore, his plan was to urge the guards in Shanyang City to send troops to respond to Li Xin.
I don't want things to be more urgent, but there are episodes. He Tengjiao came to the cabin sweating profusely, and complained again and again: "Elder Ge still has the heart to sit here, the river has been blocked, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to reach Shanyang City today!" ”
Zhang Fangyan didn't care about He Tengjiao's rudeness, and now the earth is surrounded by nature, but as a general, what he pays attention to is a calm bearing, and he can't be angry and ruined, otherwise the enemy is not chaotic, and he will first mess up his own army. I saw that the old man, who was over the age of old, turned a few more pages of the book in his hand, and then asked without raising his head: "It's only three poles a day, is it possible that the boat blocked in the Grand Canal can't finish the whole day?" Sink your heart, coordinate with your life, and it will always pass! ”
Zhang Fangyan's idea was naturally good, but He Tengjiao smiled wryly, and said in his heart: Why don't you know about coordination, then the other party must be able to coordinate with it.
"Elder Ge! It was the Qinghe defenders who sealed the Grand Canal, saying yes, saying that after Zhou Yanru went north, he would let us pass again! ”
"Oh?" Zhang Fangyan's face had changed faintly, "Didn't you say that this is the governor's official business, and the military situation must not be delayed?" ”
"Why didn't you say it, but the guard didn't go in, he only said that he only knew Zhou Ge Lao, and he didn't know anything else Yang Ge Department and Zhang Ge Lao......
He Tengjiao was quick to speak, and he didn't hide the guard's disrespectful words, and said them all. Zhang Fangyan's face changed several times, and finally regained his calmness, as if he sighed faintly, and said after a long time: "Since it is Zhou Ge Lao transiting, let's wait, also, it's not bad for this day......"
"How does the elder of the pavilion ......" When the words came to his mouth, he was swallowed back by He Tengjiao, he really wanted to question how this elder Zhang became weak in the face of Zhou Yanru, but when he thought that he had the grace to recommend him after all, wouldn't it be chilling if he asked it so carelessly. It's just that he has already been disappointed in Zhang Fangyan in his heart. Zhang Fangyan is not the kind of iron-fisted minister of Zhongxing who he imagined.
The changes in He Tengjiao's words and deeds fell into Zhang Fangyan's eyes, and Zhang Fangyan couldn't guess what he was thinking at this time, but he could only sigh secretly in his heart. Xindao: This person is still not trained enough, Zhou Yanru has a honey sword in his mouth, although it is not a retribution, but he is also beautiful and has good fruits to eat. If he only wants to be happy for a while, of course he can rely on the seal letter of the governor of Zhejiang to force the guard to make way for the general, but because of this, Zhou Yanru will be damaged, and this person will inevitably repay the favor in the future and do his best to frame him. He Zhang Fangyan is already over the age of old, and he has not lived for a few years, and his personal safety is not a big deal. If this is the major event of Zhejiang and Zhizhi provinces, wouldn't it be a small and unbearable conspiracy?
Thinking of this, Zhang Fangyan's heart was rarely filled with a trace of sadness, the Ming Dynasty was worried about internal and external troubles, and the state affairs were so rotten, and the ministers of the court and China could not work together, how to talk about saving the country, how to talk about Zhongxing? A voice spelled out in his heart, he really thought of the Forbidden City Wenhua Palace, opened an old face, and asked today: Why do you still use such selfish and prudent people?
Just as he was anxiously waiting, news came from the Huai River waterway that Li Xin had recovered Linhuai, less than 20 miles from Fengyang, the central capital, and was now dealing with 200,000 thieves.
