Chapter 270: Liao Yongan was captured and humiliated
Although Zhu Yuanzhang's generals are brave and good at fighting, Zhang Shicheng's subordinates are not all straw bales, and they also have powerful roles. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 When Liao Yongan led his army into Taihu Lake, he sent a small force to attract the Red Turban Army to divide his troops to pursue, and then took advantage of Liao Yongan's lack of backup to force his ship to run aground, capture it, and escort it to Suzhou.
Suzhou is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, and Zhang Shicheng took Suzhou as his base camp after occupying the south of the Yangtze River. He had long heard that Liao Yongan was a fierce general, with rich experience in water warfare, and had repeatedly defeated the Yuan court sailors, so he immediately persuaded Liao Yongan to surrender and join him.
"How will I descend to you, a repetitive villain? "Liao Yongan's family is all in Yingtian, and they insisted on not surrendering after being captured. He is the old man next to Zhu Yuanzhang, and he knows that Zhu Yuanzhang hates being betrayed the most, if he dares to surrender in order to survive, he is afraid that his family in Yingtian will fall to the ground immediately, so he would rather die himself than implicate his family.
"Hehe, toast and don't eat and drink, I see how long you can last?" Zhang Shicheng laughed angrily, and the high-ranking official Houlu failed to lure Liao Yongan and ordered someone to torture Liao Yongan.
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he learned of this, and wanted to exchange the captured 3,000 Zhang Shicheng soldiers for Liao Yongan alone.
Zhang Shicheng didn't agree, and smiled at Yang Xian, who came to be the envoy again: "Go back and tell Zhu Yuanzhang, if you kill my brother, I will kill your general!"
At the beginning, Zhang Shixin was in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was forced to let go of Gu Shi and others, but this time there was no more hostage. He held his breath in his heart, even if he couldn't kill Zhu Yuanzhang now, he had to destroy the other party's prestige. Thousands of soldiers are easy to obtain, one will be hard to find, no matter what, you can't put Liao Yongan, a fierce general, back, since Liao Yong'an is dead and doesn't surrender, it's useless to keep it, so he has to order to be killed.
Yang Xian was stunned, and begged him to let Liao Yongan go, and Zhu Yuanzhang could promise all conditions, even if it was to cede the city.
The other party's low posture made Zhang Shicheng more and more proud, and he sneered: "Then tell Zhu Yuanzhang to send his own head, and I will let Liao Yongan go." ”
There is no way to talk about this, Yang Xian warned angrily: "If the Taiwei insists on going his own way, he will not blame my family and the country for meeting each other in the future." ”
Zhang Shicheng took the case, "In this case, you don't have to go back, I'll wait for Zhu Yuanzhang to attack!" After speaking, he was going to ask someone to drag Yang Xian down.
Xu Wu hurriedly stopped, "The two armies are fighting without beheading, why should the lord ruin his reputation for a pawn, let this person go back and tell Zhu Yuanzhang, and those who know each other should quickly abandon their weapons and surrender, otherwise our army will be the day he breaks the city." He also attached it to Zhang Shicheng's ear and whispered to persuade: "Why don't you take the opportunity to get the three thousand soldiers back first, as for whether to let Liao Yongan go, it's not a word from the lord." ”
Zhang Shicheng laughed and glared at Yang Xian, "Don't get out of here, go back and tell Zhu Yuanzhang to tell him to return my soldiers quickly, otherwise Liao Yongan's life will not be guaranteed." ”
Xu Wu sent Yang Xian out of the barracks and whispered: "Mr. Yang, I have no choice but to save your life first and then do what he thinks." I'll do my best with General Liao, you go back first, and I'll figure it out. ”
Yang Xian was shocked, he didn't know whether his words were true or false for a while, and he didn't dare to delay after thanking him, so he hurried out of the city to respond to the heavens.
Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to return the 3,000 captives first.
However, Zhang Shicheng got back and the soldiers immediately changed their minds, threatening that he only promised not to kill Liao Yongan, and did not agree to let Liao Yongan go. He did not kill Liao Yongan afterwards, but his actions were more cruel than killing. With the mentality that he couldn't get it and didn't let others get it, he cut Liao Yongan's feet and gouged out his eyes, and imprisoned him on Longping Road, so as to humiliate Zhu Yuanzhang and vent his hatred for losing his brother.
Killing people is not too much, and torturing a general who refuses to surrender with such vicious means is too shady. Zhu Yuanzhang was full of anger and waved his army south, wanting to fight Zhang Shicheng in a decisive battle.
When the soldiers saw that Liao Yongan was captured and humiliated, they were furious, and they fought hard with Zhang Shicheng's army. In particular, Liao Yongzhong took over the position of his brother, served as the privy council, commanded his army, sang bravely all the way, and advanced into Taihu Lake.
Zhang Shicheng hurriedly transferred troops from Hangzhou and other places to support, and the two sides were stuck in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the fight was inextricable. Today you take away my Changxing, tomorrow I will attack you Jiangyin, all of them are hateful and endless.
Ma Xiuying sighed when she received Xu Wu's information, thinking that Liao Yongan, such a loyal and brave general, was brutalized by Zhang Shicheng. She hurriedly sent Xun Ying to comfort Liao Yongan's family.
Fortunately, Liao Yongan's wife and children thought that he was just captured, but they didn't know that he had been tortured beyond recognition, and there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart and he did not completely collapse.
Xun Ying wanted to speak and stopped, put down the gift and retired gloomily. Let this secret be kept secret for the time being, the poor mother and son can no longer bear any blows.
The grief and sadness made Xun Ying sad and wanted to go crazy, she was even angrier than Ma Xiuying, and cried bitterly in the house, "Why can't Xu Wu rescue General Liao? What will Mrs. Liao and the child do in the future?"
"Don't blame Xu Wu, he has done his best. Ma Xiuying persuaded sullenly, no need to describe it, she could imagine the grief of the mother and son. But this matter really can't be relied on on Xu Wu, if it weren't for Xu Wu's persuasion, I'm afraid that the envoy Yang Xian would not be able to retreat. In the letter, she instructed Xu Wu to continue to lurk around Zhang Shicheng and take the opportunity to disrupt Zhang Shicheng's battle plan, and help Liao Yongan as much as possible without exposing himself, and it would be better if he could be rescued.
Liao Yongan became a waster, and Zhang Shicheng no longer paid attention to it, but the number of guards did not decrease. Xu Wu tried every means to send his henchmen to take care of him, until eight years later, Liao Yongan finally died of his injuries. This is a later story, and I will not mention it.
In the nineteenth year of Zheng, Hu Dahai and Zhu Wenzhong captured Zhang Shicheng's important town of Zhuji Prefecture.
Zhang Shicheng sent his generals to recapture Jiangyin, but was defeated by the defender Wu Zhen. He was very unwilling, and sent a large army to besiege Changzhou, causing Changzhou to run out of food, and the people starved to death countless times.
When the news came, Zhu Yuanzhang was full of anger and anger, he has been training troops in Yingtiantun grain all these years, but the war around him continues, the people are not happy, most of the grain stored in Yingtianfu is used for the army to go out and save the city, and Zhang Shicheng blocked the grain road from Yingtian to Changzhou, and it is very difficult to transport grain to Changzhou.
At this time, Ma Xiuying received information from Zhumen, and the Yuan court collected grain from Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen, and Fang Guozhen prepared a ship to transport rice to western Zhejiang. She said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Every year the Yuan Court has to collect grain from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, why don't you start from here, go around to Changzhou to intercept the grain team, and it is much more convenient to send grain nearby than from Yingtian, and you can also rub Zhang Shicheng's sharpness." ”
