Robbery (4)

When Li Xing woke up again, it was already noon on the third day. The sky was completely clear, and the long-lost sunlight poured in through the gaps in the clouds and sprinkled in the bamboo bushes outside the window. The fast-jointed Hsinchu exudes wisps of fragrance, which, together with the medicinal fragrance in the house, invigorates people's spirits and makes people impatient and want to get up and embrace the world under the sun.

Li Xing moved, and the feeling of cones came from his right chest, and he snorted in pain, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead. Several doctors who were busy on the side heard the sound of his heavy breathing, and hurriedly ran over to take care of him, and the eyes in their eyes were both joy and admiration.

"Where am I?" Li Xing glanced at his body wrapped in white yarn like a Zongzi and asked in a low voice.

"The general is in Qingyuan, and the county orders Lord Li's mansion. How does the general feel, is there anything uncomfortable besides his right chest? The general has woken up, and if he doesn't wake up again, the grass people will have to abandon medicine and farming! The doctor at the head helped Li Xing straighten his pillow and replied rappingly.

Li Xing held his right wrist with his left hand, gently raised his right arm, moved it carefully twice, and replied with a smile: "Fortunately, the right arm is not broken." Everywhere else is a small injury, don't worry, there is Dr. Laojin! ”

The doctor in front of Li Xing's bed was surnamed Jin, and he used good medicine, but he was a little talkative. And he likes to quote scriptures and sell some literary words, and he claims to be a Confucian doctor. Seeing that Li Xing was polite to him, Dr. Jin's bones were light, his mouth immediately closed, and he said endlessly: "Where, where, it is a blessing for the grass people to be able to heal the general." On the eve of the previous year, the general rode alone, killing the enemy's soul and scattering, and on the bank of Longquan Creek, blood flowed like a river ......".

"Alright, alright, Dr. Kim, if you don't stop, I don't even know who I am. Eve? What was the result of the battle the night before, did you catch Fan Wenhu? Li Xing had goosebumps all over his body, and quickly interrupted Dr. Jin's play and diverted the topic elsewhere.

Speaking of the results of the battle, the doctor surnamed Jin didn't know in too much detail. The Broken Army lacked medical officers, and these doctors were forcibly pulled into the army by Li Xing from the civilian population when the Broken Army retreated. In a short period of time, it will not be able to integrate into the military, and it will not be able to touch the core news. I reluctantly gave Li Xing a long time, but the words "the wind is loud, and the grass and trees are all soldiers" were just eight words, and the specific casualties of the enemy and the middle-level generals were not clear.

"Okay, help me up, I'll go find a staff officer and ask!" Li Xing listened to it tastelessly, and commanded in a low voice. After the cultivation and actual combat accumulation within the Broken Army, he has broken away from the past stage of fighting by simple victory or defeat, but has learned to quantify the details of the battlefield and test the final results through specific figures.

"Well, how can that work. You will make a mistake, and the soldiers and the people will not cut me alive! When Dr. Jin heard this, he hurriedly pressed Li Xing with both hands. While pressing Li Xing to lie down, he shouted outside: "Someone, General Li wants to summon a staff officer, hurry up and find it!" ”

"What a general, all nonsense!" Li Xing was weak after being injured, struggled twice and didn't get up, and scolded with a smile.

"General Li is a powerful man, and in the future, the children of Liangzhejiang will not dare to cry at night when they hear the name of the general, and the famous generals of the ancient times will not be like this......." Dr. Jin explained in one breath. It turned out that in the battle the night before, the new annexed army was defeated. When the rout army scattered and fled for his life, in order to cover his shame, he deliberately exaggerated Li Xing's actions. At this moment, the people of several nearby prefectures and counties all know the name of Li Xing, the general of the Zhongfei Army, and there are no less than 10,000 people who come to work with him. If he hadn't been asleep, the gate of the county government would have been broken by the people.

As he was talking, he heard the sound of firecrackers in the distance, and the human voice was like boiling water. In the earth-shattering cheers, Li Xing distinguished, "General Li!" Three words, my heart suddenly became hot, and I couldn't say half a word.

When he followed the Mongols to show off his might, he had never enjoyed such treatment. Although there were many people he killed at that time, he was just as brave when he charged.

"Brother Li is awake?" The sound of greetings from outside the door interrupted Li Xing's reverie. Xiao Mingzhe strode in with a few generals of the Broken Army.

"Skin trauma, it's okay. Brother Xiao, why did it become like this outside the door? Li Xing struggled to raise his head and replied curtly. The people outside the door gave him all the credit, and the cheers, while proud, were also prone to trouble. Especially in front of Xiao Mingzhe and the other old broken army who followed Wen Tianxiang from Baizhang Ridge, Li Xing didn't want to leave the impression of being proud of his achievements.

Xiao Mingzhe waved his hand and ordered several medical officers to step back first. Then, leaning down, he explained with a smile: "In the battle the night before, Brother Li was famous. The staff officers thought that this condition could be exploited, so they took advantage of the situation and pushed it among the people, so it became what it is today. ”

"Brother Xiao, aren't you breaking my yang life!" Li Xing suddenly realized and complained with a smile. The Broken Army has always paid more attention to the reputation among the people, and the Prime Minister's Mansion has a special person responsible for compiling newspapers, commentaries and other things that the people like to see, and competing with the Northern Yuan for the hearts of the people. Xiao Mingzhe must have done this out of this consideration. But pushing the credit that originally belonged to him to others, this open-mindedness made Li Xingdun admire.

"How dare you" Xiao Mingzhe hugged his fists, took a few steps back exaggeratedly, and said: "From Page Mishi, Suodu to Zhang Hongfan, Beiyuan casually pulled out a general, and they all claimed to win a hundred battles. It hurt that everyone didn't fight with them, and their confidence weakened by three points. In fact, they are not all ordinary people, and there will be negligence in the use of soldiers. Now let's also make a famous general to come out and scare the Tartars. Before letting them do it, fold a few sharp points! The younger brother's figure, no one believes it if he doesn't stop it. I had to grieve General Li and put on this outfit......."

"Coax!" The generals on the left and right laughed together when they saw that Xiao Mingzhe was talking interestingly. Everyone has experienced the transformation of the four stages of the People's Army, the Defeated Soldiers, the Baizhangling Xinding and the Veterans of the Broken Army, and they know the panic in their hearts when they fought with the Mongol army. Looking back now, in fact, the difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides was not as big as it was felt at the time. In those days, they were chased by the Mongols like ducks, and the difference in physical strength and equipment was certainly one thing, but on the other hand, the reason for the repeated defeats was that most of the people's confidence had collapsed before the battle.

After laughing for a while, the topic went back on track. Xiao Mingzhe knew that Li Xing was anxious, and briefly described to him the results of the previous night's battle. The 20,000 captives lost more than 2,300 men, but they achieved an astonishing record of defeating 160,000 enemy troops. That night, more than 5,000 enemy soldiers were killed and more than 20,000 prisoners were captured. As for the number of injuries, it is not yet possible to count.

When the Khitan Iron Guard blocked Li Xing's war horse, Fan Wenhu ran away with his own soldiers. The group chased after them for half the night, and it was not until dawn that they learned from the captives that Fan Wenhu had retreated across Longquan Creek and fled to the direction of Songyang. There were less than 10,000 soldiers with him, and the rest were either scattered or taken back north by other generals to Jinhua and Shaoxing to grab territory with Liukou.

Some generals despised Fan Wenhu as a person, and secretly sent people to contact the Broken Army, hoping that the Broken Army would leave them a way to live and no longer chase after them. After they return to the station, they must change their minds and faces, and when "the king goes north, build roads and bridges, and be pioneers before the horse". Although the words of these people cannot be believed, one thing is for sure, in the future, Fan Wenhu wants to command the generals of the new annexed army as before, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult.

"I have sent someone to inform Langli Leopard, Drill Mountain Harrier and others that Fan Jiajun has broken up. What is the situation of the two Zhejiang provinces in the future, it depends on the actions of these people! Xiao Mingzhe saw Li Xing's eyes with a vague look of disappointment, and said with a smile.

"Those heroes?" Li Xing was stunned for a moment, then realized the key to it, pointed at Xiao Mingzhe's nose and said with a smile: "Okay, you General Xiao, you can kill people with a knife, you can also play this kind of strategy!" ”

"How dare you, how dare you. It's just an excuse to give the Tartar head, if I don't help, General Fan will be a capital crime sooner or later! Xiao Mingzhe arched his hand and replied modestly.

The generals let out a knowing smile again, and they all knew that Fan Wenhu, a traitor, was about to die. Langli Leopard, Guojiang Dragon, Drill Mountain Harrier and others are all famous bandits in Zhejiang and Zhejiang. This time, Zhang Tang and Du Hu swept through the two Zhejiang, and the strength of the reckless heroes followed behind the Broken Army, and there were now thousands of capable fighters in each team. If Fan Wenhu does not experience this defeat, he still has the strength to force all the heroes into the mountains and maintain the law and order of the two Zhejiang. But in the battle the night before, Fan Wenhu escaped from the battle, not only losing all his descendants, but also losing the hearts of the army. If you encounter the reckless heroes again, it will be difficult to say whether you will win or lose.

Kublai Khan attached great importance to Fan Wenhu, firstly, because he gave him high-ranking officials and showed good luck to the generals of the Great Song Dynasty who had not yet surrendered. The second is because he is well-connected in the new annexed army of Liangzhejiang, which can restrain the soldiers and suppress the localities. Now, the Song generals who are willing to surrender to the Yuan have already surrendered, and the rest are the dead soldiers who want to fight to the end, and Fan Wenhu's thousand-mile horse bone has no effect. And he lost control of the new annexed army at this juncture, so to speak, in the eyes of Kublai Khan, the former General Fan was already a waste. When it comes to waste, the Mongols usually dispose of it extremely neatly. Just like Emperor Song Gong and Empress Dowager Xie who surrendered to the Northern Yuan Dynasty, when they lost the effect of appeasing the place, they were quickly abandoned by the Yuan Court, and their titles were lowered again and again, and they were about to become commoners.

Thinking that Fan Wenhu might die and would go on the road in a daze, everyone regretted it again. Prime Minister Wen Cheng said it well, in the eyes of most Mongolians, whether it is the Han people in the north, the Han people in the south, Zhang Hongfan, or Fan Wenhu, they are all used to drive eagle dogs, and when they are useless, they will naturally kill and drink. Many Han people themselves felt that the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty were just changing the Yuan Dynasty, and they were anxious to gain fame in the troubled times. In fact, you put it up with affection, shouting 'I am invincible in the world' and proud of it, but people don't treat you as the same kind at all, and in the end it's just a sad joke.

Hearing these discussions, Li Xing sighed softly. Back then, he was not another Fan Wenhu, and he always thought that corruption in the Great Song Dynasty could be a reason to take refuge in foreign enemies. After experiencing many things, I realized that the corruption of the Great Song Dynasty could be a reason for his rebellion, but he could not believe that the power of foreign enemies could solve these chronic diseases. Because when those foreign forces enter, they bring only disaster.

Xiao Mingzhe was careful, and when he heard Li Xing's sigh, he knew that everyone had accidentally poked the pain in his heart. coughed lightly, suppressed everyone's words, and asked with a smile: "The new annexed army of Liangzhejiang no longer has the strength to go south, but the battle situation in Fujian does not know how it is going. So I'm going to take some of my brothers to go first, what does Brother Li think? ”

"Just go, I'll come after I get up!" Li Xing replied very happily, suddenly realizing that due to the wind and rain, he had indeed received the battle report from the Dadu Governor's Mansion for many days. After thinking about it, he solemnly added: "My fourth standard, leave two battalions of brothers to guard the prisoners and protect the color number. You take the rest of the people and horses away, as soon as the news of Fan Wenhu's defeat spreads, the old thief of Dachun is afraid that he will jump off the wall in a hurry! ”

"Two battalions, will it be too little?" Xiao Mingzhe hesitated. There were not many troops left behind in Fujian, and the second and fourth standard soldiers returned one day earlier, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion would have more security. But if only two battalions were left, more than 1,000 wounded were taken care of, and more than 20,000 prisoners were suppressed for screening, Li Xing's strength was too little.

"You forgot, I'm Flying General Li Xing!" Li Xing smiled and posed, pulling the wound, and immediately grinned in pain.

"Coax!" Everyone burst into laughter.

At that moment, Xiao Mingzhe reorganized his men and horses, leaving behind two battalions of elite soldiers and wounded numbers who could not continue the march, and accelerated his retreat to Fujian. There was no new annex behind him as a tail, and the speed of the march increased sharply, and except for a short free time to eat and recuperate, the rest of the time was spent on the road. Crossing Songxi, Zhenghe, marching more than 100 miles a day. It wasn't until he saw Jianning Mansion City from a distance that he slowed down.

Seeing the endless stream of four-wheeled luxury carriages on the official road and the open gate of Jianning Mansion, Xiao Mingzhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. For more than a year, with the smoothing and widening of the roads connecting the provinces in Fujian, the four-wheeled carriage of Fuzhou's specialty has become a symbol of the status of merchants. The four-wheeled carriage is not good at climbing, but on flat ground, it is far faster than the two-wheeled carriage, and in terms of comfort and safety, it is far better than the two-wheeled mode common in the north.

Some merchants have their hands and eyes to the sky, and they don't know where to buy good horses for pulling carts, and some are even more handsome than military horses. People with wealth usually spare their lives, and if the war situation in Fujian is tense, these people will not risk their lives to continue to run Shaowu to negotiate business.

At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the official road. Xiao Mingzhe looked up and saw that the messenger he had sent to Fuzhou a few days ago to report the victory and ask for orders from the Dadu Governor's Mansion was riding on a big food war horse and galloping over. Several soldiers dressed in the uniforms of the heralds of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion followed closely on horseback.

"General Xiao, the prime minister has an order!" The messenger shouted as he galloped. rushed to Xiao Mingzhe, rolled the saddle and dismounted, regardless of the sweat on his face, handed over a roll of white silk wrapped with Ling Arrow, and reported loudly: "General Xiao, the prime minister is in a hurry, our department immediately marched west along Dingshui, and rushed to Yong'an within seven days." Strive to be on the front line of Yong'an and block the Yuan army! ”

"What, Yuan Jun?" Xiao Mingzhe was taken aback and snatched the order with his hand.

Yong'an is more than 500 miles away from here, and even if you arrive at Yong'an, your soldiers and horses will lose their combat effectiveness. In Tonggu Mountain, Longyan and other places, the captive army built forts and closed walls, and the defense was tight. How could it be breached so quickly?

"Two days ago, General Yang Xiaorong had already rushed over with a group of people. The Tartars are menacing, and the prime minister is afraid that General Yang will be single, so General Xiao is sent to support! The herald from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion explained in a low voice, took out a brown paper belt sealed with fire paint from his back, and handed it to Xiao Mingzhe.

Xiao Mingzhe signed the receipt, tore open the paper bag, and a few lines of familiar words fell into his eyes.

"Li Guida was defeated and surrendered to the enemy..."

Like a thunderbolt, Xiao Mingzhe's body shook, and in an instant, his mouth was full of bitterness.
