Chapter 2 "Pihu" retreats
General Su Yue was famous for pulling more than 20 cities in De County and approaching the capital of De County within one month, and the people of the south called him a fierce beast and a tiger. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
More than 20 years ago, the southern counties led by Dejun were not accustomed to Huang Jun being in the south, but they were bent on harmony and sent troops to fight. Houhuang County couldn't resist and complained to Damu. Under the suggestion of Xiangguo Guan Cen, Emperor Mu decided to follow the ancients' plan to save Zhao from Wei and worship his uncle Quan Fei as the commander, and directly attacked Wanjing, the capital of Dejun. It is intended to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, and never suffer again. As a result, the years-long Battle of Dehuang and the Battle of Mude broke out in Youzhou.
Quan Fei has a general, surnamed Su Mingyue, the eldest in line, his family was poor when he was young, and his parents sent him to an apprentice in a small medical hall in Mudu City, hoping that he could learn the craft and help the family.
After studying for three years, because he was talented and diligent, the doctors in the museum were interested in cultivating him, so they often taught him to recognize acupoints and recognize medicines. Seeing that the prospects are very good, an uninvited guest came to the medical hall on this day. As we said in the previous part, the five sects are not all chivalrous people, but also cruel and violent people, and Qinglongzi is one of them. He is a generation of sword gods, his perfect, unpredictable knife skills if you trace the source, is the authentic martial arts of Youzhou, but at the same time he is also a peerless bandit that is rare to see in Youzhou for hundreds of years, he is the most rampant rampant in the eight counties of Youzhou, rape and plunder, all evil. But from the high-level dart guard battalions in the counties of Youzhou to the yamen everywhere with errands, no one can help him.
At this time, although Qinglongzi has passed his peak, but his skills are still there, he was attacked by the Damu Dart Guard Camp who had been following for a long time, and fled to the small hospital where Su Yue was injured, and took away the doctor and Su Yue to treat his injuries, the doctor knew that he was brutal, and committed suicide on the way for fear of being tortured. Su Yue, on the other hand, was exiled to an island in the heart of the river, the largest river in the territory of Damu.
Ten years later, Su Yue left Jiangxin Island alone in a boat. It coincided with the recruitment of people in the army, and after returning to his hometown to visit relatives, he enlisted in the army. With bravery and cleverness, he has been from a sergeant to a general, and followed Quan Ying to fight in the east and west. Su Yue is heroic and majestic, and his sword skills are like gods, and he can be called the first fierce general under the tent of the commander. Just as he was on his way, some people saw from his sword skills that he was the charm of the bandit Qinglongzi, and he was shocked by the government and the opposition for a while, and the crowd was angry, and they all wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood. Emperor Mu personally issued a decree to detain him for interrogation, and to extract the whereabouts of Qinglongzi from his mouth.
It turned out that after Su Yue was arrested and sent to Jiangxin Island, he took good care of Qinglongzi, thus saving his life, although he was often beaten for no reason. Two or three years later, Qing Longzi accidentally discovered that he was talented, his bones were wonderful, and he was a good material for martial arts, so he taught him all his life's martial arts, but Su Yue was not allowed to call him master in the past ten years.
It wasn't until Qinglongzi died on Jiangxin Island that Su Yue buried him before he left the island and returned home.
Although in addition to martial arts, the interrogator could not find anything related to Su Yue and Qing Longzi, nor could he find any evidence of his crimes. But someone has to take care of this matter, and the people have to have a place to vent their anger. As a result, he was dismissed from his post as a commoner and all his family property was confiscated. Qinglongzi's tomb on Jiangxin Island was flattened, and the body was dug up and whipped.
Although Su Yue was demoted to a commoner, his calamity has not passed, and the villagers are afraid of his superb martial arts and dare not come to the door to disturb him, but secretly all kinds of troubleshooting and demolishing the stage have also made the Su family restless and annoying. No matter where the Su family moved, when the neighbors heard that they were Qinglongzi's apprentices, they would be isolated from his Su family at the least, and they would report to the officials. The family had no choice but to dissociate themselves from him and leave the country.
Tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, and the battlefield general, who was once fearless of heaven and earth, turned gray overnight. The low point of his life is boring, and he has nothing to do every day except to practice his knife skills diligently, but he inadvertently created his own "knife duel" that is truly famous in the world in the future.
The so-called sword duel is to seize the enemy's blade with great speed and skill, and then capture it. Because the knife technique learned by Su Yue and Qinglongzi is authentic in Youzhou, as the saying goes, "everything changes will never leave its sect." Therefore, it is not difficult for him to see through the various knife techniques in Youzhou. It's just that common weapons such as swords, sticks, guns, and hooks have different methods and need to be studied separately. With his unremitting efforts and extremely high talent, Su Yue finally mastered various weapons after several years and became a generation of grandmasters. He later wrote "Seize the Sword", as long as the foundation is solid and the talent is slightly higher, he can be practiced.
Back to the point, Huang County was cut down by Dejun and asked Damu for help. Emperor Mu made Quan Ying handsome, and Quan Ying was overwhelmed, and Su Yue did not use it. So Emperor Mu worshiped Su Yue as the forward general.
A month later, Su Yue was ordered by the marshal Quan Ying to lead 8,000 elite soldiers to cross the Xujiang River, the boundary river between the north and south, and approached Dejun. The first city in Dejun is named Yanjiang City, and the general who guards the city, Tu Hu, is a mediocre general. Knowing that Damu was coming, he ordered people to only release arrows and hold on, and on the other hand, he lit a beacon fire and waited for reinforcements.
Su Yue observed the terrain and found that there was a low cliff in the southeast corner of the city, facing the corner tower, because it was impossible to cross the cliff and enter the city with human strength, so there were not many garrisons. Su Yue sent more than a dozen sturdy sappers, full of food and drink, taking advantage of the night, quietly climbed to the top of the cliff, hung the rope down to the remote corner tower wall, dug the tunnel, secretly hollowed out the soil under the city wall, and used solid wood soaked in fuel oil to support the hollowed out place, while digging and erecting solid wood. Su Yue led a large army to pretend to make a feint attack in the north of the city, and only ordered the deputy general Wang Tingbao to take 3,000 elites to ambush in the dirt slopes and woods not far south of the city. At noon the next day, the dozen or so sappers finally dug into a corner of the south of the city, and as soon as the torch was thrown, the solid wood soaked in oil was burned into a sea of fire in an instant, and the city wall that had lost its support immediately collapsed, and the south of the city was broken! Wang Tingbao led his troops to rush from the south gate to the north gate, and Tu Hu was defeated and wanted to flee under the front and rear attacks. was caught up by Su Yue, the two fought seven or eight times, Tu Hu's spear was seized out of thin air, and before others could react, they were beheaded by Su Yue.
The river was immediately broken.
Su Yue strictly ordered the generals not to harass the people, and on the other hand, he sent spies to keep an eye on the way to the reinforcements, and still hung the general flag of Tu Hu, and ambushed the periphery of the city along the river.
A month later, Su Yue pulled more than 20 cities in De County, which shocked Youzhou! This caused the head of the De County Dart Guard Battalion and the county minister of De County to apologize for their crimes.
Some people in the south call him a tiger and beast, and it is rumored that he has suction stones on his hands, and he specializes in sucking people's weapons. He also combined him with the marshal Quan Ying and the chief priest Guan Cen, who was in charge of the rear transportation at that time, and called them the "Three Demons of Great Harmony". As soon as a few soldiers defending the city in Dejun County saw the Suzi banner, they were invincible and abandoned the city and fled. On the other hand, because Su Yue never embarrassed the people after the capture of the city, he was quite popular with the people of the surrendered land.
When he approached the city of Wanjing, his troops had risen from 8,000 to 50,000. Emperor Mu also interestingly named him "Pihu General". The news of the great victory on the front line reached Damu, and the people of Damu also praised him, and people praised him as the greatest hero of Damu's rule of Youzhou, and some people even thought that his merits surpassed that of the great marshal Quanyu.
The words are divided into two ends, and at this time, Dejun appointed Yang Dingtang as the county minister. It turned out that at the beginning of the war, Yang Dingtang, who was not yet the prime minister, had already sent the masters of the dart guard battalion to spy on intelligence.
Because although Su Yue's army under the leadership of Quan Ying was brave and good at fighting, it was not a descendant of the Huang family, and Emperor Mu was originally deeply suspicious of his ambiguous relationship with Qinglongzi. Therefore, he sent henchmen to supervise the army in various camps of Su Yue, and even included other camps of Quan Yu. These situations were all spied on by the dart guards sent out by Yang Dingtang. To this end, Yang Dingtang formulated several strategies.
First: If the soldiers in various places cannot resist, if they surrender to Pihu Suyue, it will not be considered a failure, and the county lord will not be held accountable. If you surrender to other Great Harmony generals, you will be deemed to have surrendered to the enemy and will be punished by the three clans.
Second: Extract alert people from the dart guard camp and turn into civilians to infiltrate the front-line city, use Su Yue to treat the people well and pretend to lead him to support him, and call him the county lord, the greater the effect, the better.
Third: let a few henchmen and generals pretend to be captured, and then send gold and silver treasures to Huang Shengkang, the deputy marshal of the Harmony Army and the governor of the supervising army, in the name of saving his life. and informed him that Quan Fei, Su Yue and Yang Dingtang conspired against each other.
Fourth: Send the dead soldiers to pretend to be messengers, sneak into the camp of Quan Ying and Su Yue, and then deliberately get arrested.
Huang Shengkang is the uncle of Emperor Mu, although he is a deputy marshal, Quan Ying never allows him to participate in important military affairs. As an imperial prince, he has long been resentful of such treatment. Therefore, he immediately fulfilled his duty as a supervisor of the army. Emperor Xiang Mu played Ming Quanying and his subordinate Su Yue and other generals supported their troops and had the intention of rebellion. Since then, such information has been transmitted to Emperor Mu every day like snowflakes from various battlefields.
There were also problems on the front line of the Mude War, because the front line was too long, and Su Yue was worried that the grain and grass would be cut off, which would make the army's morale unstable, so he asked Quan Yu for an order to hold on, and obtained permission. No matter how Emperor Mu urged him to march, Su Yue refused to carry it out.
At this time, the rumors that Quan Fei and Su Yue were going to rebel spread more and more widely, and the information that Su Yue and Quan Yu wanted to set up another country was reported like snowflakes every day, and the young Emperor Mu finally believed it,
So he ordered the firing line to change generals, and major generals such as Quan Fei and Su Yue were suspended. At the call of Kwon Eagle, most of the generals peacefully handed over the talismans.
Deputy marshal Huang Shengkang succeeded as the new commander. Most of the newly appointed generals are Huang Shengkang's cronies. The change of firing line will cause many contradictions within the United Army, and its morale will also be greatly reduced. What's more, Huang Shengkang, who knew neither himself nor his opponent, was easily cut off of food and grass by the Dejun army because of his reckless march, which caused the already demoralized United Army to completely collapse.
Yang Dingtang saw that the time had come, and led the dart guard battalion and the soldiers defending the city to fight back. Before the Great Harmony, it was still a victorious army like a wolf and a tiger, and in an instant, it was like a mustard that fell in the wind on the wasteland. The siege of Wanjing was immediately resolved.
The people of Dexian found that the originally invincible "Pihu Army" was so easy to deal with, and their morale was greatly boosted, and they even regained lost territory. Emperor Huang Shengkang said that it was difficult to deploy all the combat troops, and the order was not passable, which led to the defeat of the army. At this point, Emperor Mu not only did not return power to Quan Ying and Su Yue, but used this as evidence of their arbitrary power and intention to rebel, and escorted all the people involved back to Mudu. After arriving in Mudu, due to the intercession of the queen and some upright officials, Emperor Mu exempted them from capital crimes, but they were all demoted to commoners and never used again.
And Su Yue's family had already been beheaded as early as when he was escorted back to peace.
Two years later, the Battle of Mude ended in defeat at the Great Muslim. The United Army retreated to the north of the Xujiang River. Then, Quan Ying and Su Yue quietly left Mudu and lived in seclusion, and it was difficult for the world to find their traces.
