Robbery (2)

"Report! Dadu Governor, the Song army was divided into two roads, one way to Gongshan, the other to Qingyuan! In the drizzle, a scout in crooked armor dismounted and lay down on the mud to report.

"Investigate again, report the situation quickly!" Fan Wenhu, the governor of the two Zhejiang provinces, waved his hand and ordered loudly.

"Yes!" The scout jumped on his horse, and his figure slowly disappeared behind the drizzle. Fan Wenhu sighed softly, looked at the brothers swaying in the mud, and then looked at the turbid Longquan River in the distance, and instructed the soldiers on the left and right: "Pass on the order of the commander, all teams of soldiers and horses slow down the march, don't be greedy to attack, fall for the tricks of the captive army!" ”

More than 100 miles will enter Fujian, and every time he takes a step forward, Fan Wenhu's heart is a little more uneasy. It was his duty to protect the peace of Liangzhejiang, so he had to follow and pursue the broken army. But it is a fact that the soldiers under his command have been dragged out and exhausted, and they are unable to fight again, and he cannot help but be cautious everywhere.

"Yes!" The herald, who was slightly brighter than the scout, took the arrow, turned over and jumped on the horse, which was not much taller than a donkey. Covered in muddy water, the warhorse with hair off shook and barely fell to the ground. Staggering with four hooves spread, he carried the herald to "run" to all sides of the team. After a while, a shout rang out from the crowd, "The big handsome has an order, the big handsome has an order, walk slowly, don't be greedy for merit." Slow down, not slow, no greed! ”

The speed of the group suddenly stopped, and several soldiers took the opportunity to squat in the mud, beating their waists and knocking their legs, as if they were exhausted and collapsed.

"Whew!" Tian Fengming sneered from his nostrils and grabbed the horse's head with dissatisfaction. The speed of the enemy's retreat was close to that of a turtle crawling, and it was no more than forty miles a day. Fan Wenhu's pursuit was even slower, usually the enemy army stopped, and he also ordered to set up camp, and if the enemy army did not leave, he would never reorganize the army. For more than ten days, the two armies followed each other like this, maintaining a distance of about ten miles. Those who know the inside story understand that Fan Wenhu is recovering the lost territory with the new annexed army of Liangzhejiang, and those who don't know the inside story still think that Fan Wenhu owes a lot of favors to the broken army, and he is sending it away.

"Lord Tian, Li Xing and Xiao Mingzhe, who broke the army, were both famous generals for a while, so the governor of Pontus had to deal with it carefully!" Fan Wenhu heard Tian Fengming's cold snort, slowed down his war horse, and explained with a smile.

"Yes, yes, General Fan is careful with his soldiers, not greedy for merit, and has the style of a famous general in ancient times. The lower officials admire, admire! Tian Fengming bowed his hand and echoed in a panic.

"It's good to know the difficulties of Ben Shuai!" Fan Wenhu's smile looked more cloudy than the sky, and he flicked his horse's head and went to the back of the team. Tian Fengming on the spot, neither is he moving forward, nor is he keeping up, he can't help but smile bitterly with his crooked mouth.

Li Xing was born as a thief, once led people to Qin Wang Lin'an, surrendered to Dayuan after defeat, and before becoming the general of the Broken Army, he had always been a small family under the command of Huang Quji, the governor of Shaowu. Compared with Fan Wenhu's identity and fame in the new annexed army, I don't know how many times worse. As for Xiao Mingzhe, he is just a nerd who has passed the Jinshi, and he can't even touch the edge of a famous general. And these two people have actually become famous generals in Fan Wenhu's mouth, which is really a big joke.

Fan Wenhu's wanton exaggeration of the enemy's ability is clearly a passive move to avoid war. Tian Fengming understood this in his heart, but he didn't have the courage to fight with Fan Wenhu, who didn't know that Liangzhejiang was Fan Wenhu's territory, and here he covered the sky with one hand. The example of Chen Yan, the former Zhedong Xuanxuan envoy, was placed there, and the lesson of blood made Tian Fengming dare not make a mistake.

Last year, Chen Yan, the then propaganda envoy of eastern Zhejiang, relied on the emperor's favor and forcibly ordered generals from all over the country to send troops to Fujian to fight for thieves. Before the soldiers and horses could be gathered, he was killed on the way to patrol. Afterwards, the imperial court determined that the case was committed by the spies of the Broken Army, but everyone who understands knows that if it were not for Fan Wenhu deliberately cutting Chen Yan's guards, the spies of the Broken Army would not have been so easy to succeed. Some people even firmly believe that the so-called spies of the Broken Army do not exist at all, and Chen Yan's death was the work of Fan Wenhu's cronies.

Even if he was dissatisfied, Tian Fengming didn't dare to leave Fan Wenhu's camp. The two parts of Zhejiang were stirred up into a mess by the broken army, and the bandits and bandits rose in all directions, attacking everywhere to attack the city and plunder the land, killing officials, and opening the treasury. For the Han officials who worked for Meng Yuan, they were all killed and then fastened. If he left the new annexed army, Tian Fengming didn't know if he would have heard the rooster crow the next day.

is sighing in my heart, I have read books for half my life, and I finally survived to become a local official, but it was a troubled time. Suddenly, Tian Fengming heard the sound of horses' hooves again. Weakly raising his head and looking into the distance, he saw several scouts running back one after another.

"Report, Qi Yu Dadu, Xiao Mingzhe's department crossed the Scoop River and camped on the east bank of the Scoop Creek to rest. Li Xingbu retreated to Qingyuan, and the city was locked! The scout reported loudly, his eyes full of anticipation for the rest order.

Qingyuan City is about ten miles away from here, and even if everyone can come to the city tonight, they don't have the strength to attack the city. Scoop Creek is no more, no less, and it is exactly ten miles away. Everyone rushed over with great difficulty, but they couldn't lift their spirits to cross the water. "I'm tired!" Several soldiers lazily laid down their weapons and chattered in a chaotic manner. I didn't care that the Governor was not far away, and I could clearly hear everyone's complaints.

As if seeing the scout's thoughts, Fan Wenhu, the considerate governor of the two Zhejiang provinces, ordered loudly, "Pass the order down and find Gaopo to camp." Cut down trees and roast the fire, and early tomorrow morning, continue the pursuit and drive the broken army out of Liangzhejiang! ”

As soon as the words fell, cheers rang out from all directions, "The governor is wise!" "The Governor is merciful!" "Governor Shenwu!" The sound of sycophants with various accents is like a tidal wave. The soldiers threw down their swords and guns, rolled up their flags, and scattered like sheep.

Fan Wenhu on horseback waved his hand around, enjoying the cheers around him. This is his family background, his subordinates, and no one can think of it. As for how the imperial court and the broken army fight, whether Zhang Hongfan caught the little emperor or not is someone else's business, and it has nothing to do with the two Zhejiang.

Chasing the captives? Jokes, is the Broken Army so easy to chase, what to do with a bite. The imperial court has never paid the new army or replenished the equipment, what if the soldiers die in battle? What to supplement? Fan Wenhu clearly knew that with these 200,000 people under his command, he would have the position of the governor of the capital, and without the soldiers, he would be nothing, and he would have been covered with dust like a tablet.

"Governor ......" Tian Fengming approached Fan Wenhu, and stopped talking.

"What advice does Lord Tian have, don't you think that this governor has handled it inappropriately?" Fan Wenhu frowned slightly, and there was still a smile on his face, but this smile made people's scalps explode.

"Don't dare, don't dare, I just want to come over and say hello to the governor." Tian Fengming shrank his neck and replied with a smiling face. I suffocated all the words I wanted to say. Originally, he wanted to remind Fan Wenhu that the two retreating broken armies were acting abnormally, and it stands to reason that Yashan was trapped by Zhang Hongfan, and if they wanted to go to relieve the siege, they should travel day and night, and there was no reason to only travel forty miles a day. Moreover, judging from the past performance of the Broken Army, their marching speed can be described as fast as fire and as fast as the wind. This kind of stop-and-go is obviously a plan.

"Lord Tian is worried that the enemy general has other plans, right?" Fan Wenhu saw Tian Fengming's awe of him, and he felt interesting in his heart, and his tone of voice became more and more flamboyant. "Ben Du and Wen Tianxiang are old acquaintances and know each other very well. At this moment, he will not go to the rescue of Yashan, and deliberately withdraw his troops slowly, just to delay the fighters and preserve his strength. Therefore, the Governor must not push him too hastily, lest he bite back in a hurry. Anyway, at the moment, he is already barely breathing, and when Lord Zhang Hongfan goes east to Fujian, the governor will send heavy troops again, and it will be a complete success. ”

"Yes, yes, Governor Wise!" Tian Fengming replied pretending to be taught, but he didn't think much of Fan Wenhu's words.

The war report said that Zhang Hongfan had trapped the remnants of the Song Dynasty in Yashan, and the remnants of the Song Dynasty would be completely wiped out in the near future. It is conceivable that the death of the Song Lord will bring a lot of shock to the upper and lower levels of the Broken Army. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Hongfan and Da Chun gathered more than 400,000 troops to invade Fujian, which will inevitably be overwhelming. Fan Wenhu was shaking his majesty at that time, but he was just taking advantage of the fire to rob him, and he didn't have any ability at all.

Just when he was slandering Fan Wenhu in his stomach, he heard the governor of the two Zhejiang provinces in front of him say to himself: "As for Lord Tian's worries about the enemy's plans, it is not without a little reason. In this way, Ben Shuai will allocate 5,000 soldiers and horses to set up a battalion three miles to the east. If the enemy will come to attack, we will annihilate him in one fell swoop. ”

"Xiaguan, the Metropolitan Governor ......," Tian Fengming replied incoherently. In his stomach, he greeted Fan Wenhu's ancestors for eight generations. At this moment, Fan Wenhu's headquarters had no less than 150,000 soldiers and horses, but he asked him to lead 5,000 people to camp in the east. It is said that it echoes the big camp from afar, but in fact, it adds a layer of protection to the periphery of the big camp. If the army that retreated to Gongshan did not come, the first thing they would do was to attack their own camp. At that time, Fan Wenhu waited for himself to fight with the Broken Army and then rushed over and picked a ready-made bargain. As for the life or death of his own bait, it is estimated that no one will care at all.

"What, is Lord Tian afraid? Could it be that our 200,000 soldiers and horses can be afraid that he will not be able to destroy his 20,000 captives! Fan Wenhu didn't smile, and asked by looking into Tian Fengming's eyes.

A cold air rushed to his face, stabbing Tian Fengming three inches shorter. Looking at Fan Wenhu's knife-like gaze, he felt chills all over his body, and the rain-soaked robe was attached to his body, as if it was frozen, and his bones hurt. Gritted his teeth, turned his heart sideways, and replied loudly: "The subordinate obeys orders, he must be loyal to his duties tonight, and swear to protect the safety of the metropolitan governor!" ”

"So, there is Lord Rauta!" Fan Wenhu took out an arrow from his own soldiers and personally handed it over to Tian Fengming. Look at the other party's frightened white face, and feel happy in my heart. Secret Dao: Don't you dare to accuse Pontus behind your back, do you want to be a hero, scare you nerd to death?

After a bad breath came out, Fan Wenhu didn't dare to really bury the new Zhedong Propaganda Envoy. Tian Fengming is a civilian official, and it is really impossible to follow him in the military. If he was really killed by the attack camp, the emperor would investigate it, and few people in the new attached army of the two Zhejiang provinces would come out and take responsibility. Thinking of this, Fan Wenhu pulled out another arrow from his own soldier and shouted: "Tie Lei, come forward and listen to the order!" ”

"The last general!" A tall black-faced man flashed out of the crowd and replied with a loud voice. It's not like the other new annexed soldiers who are covered in mud and sloppy. This person was extremely neatly cleaned up and down, with black helmets, black armor, and chest plates polished brightly, and not a single mud star was touched. The tiger's back, the bear's waist, and the war horse under the crotch are the same as people, fat and strong. Stretched out his right hand to receive Fan Wenhu's command, but in his left hand, he carried a spear from beginning to end, which could be stabbed out at any time and take people's lives.

"You take three hundred Khitan warriors from your headquarters, follow Lord Tian, and protect his safety!" Fan Wenhu seemed to be very satisfied with the performance of his fierce generals, and ordered with a smile.

"Yes, the last general swears to protect Lord Tian to the death!" The general, who was called Iron Thunder, put away the order and rode away. After running a few hundred paces, he raised his spear and shouted, and immediately a group of samurai wearing Luo ring armor poured out of the crowd. Unlike the other newly attached soldiers around them, these people have bright armor and tall bones, and they know at a glance that they are the elite of the army of more than 100,000 people.

"Lord Tian, this is the Khitan Iron Guard given to the Governor by Long Live Qin, a total of five hundred. Ben Dok will give you half of it. If there is an accident, these 300 people can block ten at a time to protect the safety of adults! ”

The Khitan warriors have always had a reputation for bravery, after the Jurchen destroyed the Liao, they were quite jealous of the Khitans, and tried all kinds of ways to control the number of their clansmen, and the massacre against the Khitans lasted for more than a month and was seen many times in the history books. After Temujin rose on the steppe, the Khitans rushed to take refuge in order to take revenge, and played a great role in the war to destroy the Jin. Their formidable fighting prowess aroused the suspicion of the Mongol Great Khan. In order to disperse the power of the Khitans, and at the same time to win over meritorious officials, the Great Khans of successive dynasties often rewarded the Khitan tribes as a very high-level reward for the generals. The Mongol generals also liked these warriors, who were far taller than the Mongols and as strong as the Mongols, and boasted about the number of Khitan guards they had. Fan Wenhu took out three hundred Khitan warriors at one time to protect Tian Fengming, which can indeed be regarded as a big deal. (Alcoholic note: The overall demise of the Khitan people after the Later Dynasties has a lot to do with the good fighting of their people.) ）

"So, thank you, Grand Duke!" Tian Fengming saw that Fan Wenhu had indeed allocated the elite of the army to him, and he was a little bolder, so he thanked him in a low voice, took the order, ordered all the soldiers and horses, and left.

He is a civil official, and he knows his true weight, so he doesn't dare to go too far. After about two miles away from Fan Wenhu's camp, he stopped, chose a slightly higher mound and set up camp, and tightly protected the camp tent of three hundred Khitan warriors on the periphery of his central army tent.

Fortunately, the Khitan general Tie Lei was used to being sent, and he did not disobey Tian Fengming's orders because of his timidity. In cooperation with a few new annex generals, the entire camp was set up without leakage. Seeing this situation, the fear in Tian Fengming's heart decreased a little more, and cold sweat no longer broke out on his back. After dinner, he pretended to patrol the camp once, and then hid in his tent early.

At this moment, the drizzle has stopped, and the sound of frogs is like thunder in all directions. Tian Fengming thought about the grievances he received from Fan Wenhu after arriving in eastern Zhejiang; Thinking about how much more money it would cost to buy off Lord Ahma, let him transfer him to a stable place; Thinking of the pride and ambition of governing the country and the reality of looking up to people now, fatigue gradually came to my mind. I didn't know how long I slept in a daze, and I was dreaming that I had been added to the rank of official all the way to the knighthood, ranked as the third duke, and was the wife of the shadow, when I suddenly heard someone shouting in my ear: "Lord Tian, wake up, the enemy army has robbed the camp!" ”

"Camp robbery?" Hearing these two words, Tian Fengming jumped up, and his sleepiness dispersed to the clouds. While hurriedly putting on the armor on his body, he stammered and asked: "Lead, lead the officer's mount, fast, enemy army, enemy army, away, how far away from the Chinese army?" ”

"There was a fire at the camp, and the enemy army robbed the camp of the governor. Where to go, please Tian Daren! The Khitan military general Tie Lei stepped forward and bowed down to answer.

"Wait for me!" When Tian Fengming heard that the enemy army was not targeting him, the fear in his heart was immediately replaced by shame. Pushed away the generals, strode out of the tent, raised his head to look west, and saw that the fire was blazing in the camp of Fan Wenhu during the day, and in the dark night, I don't know how many people and horses were fighting.

"Lord Tian, what should I do next?" A new army of thousands of households walked up behind Tian Fengming, bowed down and asked.

"Enemy, how many soldiers and horses are there for the enemy?" Tian Fengming looked at the firelight in the distance and asked in a trembling voice, not knowing how to decide. During the day, he ridiculed Fan Wenhu for passively avoiding the battle, and when it was his turn, he realized that the decision to fight was so difficult to make.

"The last general does not know that the enemy has not discovered that we are here. So bypassing us and others, he directly robbed Fan Dudu's base camp. I'll wait for the rescue or not, please show me! Several of the generals of the new annexed army replied in unison, full of sincerity. The Khitan general Tie Lei even jumped on horseback, and when Tian Fengming gave an order, he led his troops out of the camp.

In the distance, several explosions of grenades were heard. Tian Fengming's heart trembled, and his eyes kept drifting around. In the barren paddy fields under the mound, wild rice has grown as tall as a man. Faintly, dozens of blue flames drifted between the rice stalks, I don't know if it was fireflies or ghost fire floating out of unburied rotting corpses.

Two miles away, the fire at Fan Wenhu's base camp was getting brighter and brighter. Between the billowing black smoke, there were constantly flag flower rockets dragging bright flame tails from the sky, which was the signal sent by Fan Wenhu to order the troops to move closer to him.

"My lord, what the hell should I do, you have something to say!" The general, dressed in the uniform of thousands of households of the new annexed army, asked loudly. Outside the tent of the Chinese army, thousands of soldiers and soldiers were in formation, and a large area of black pressure was stationed.

Several low-ranking officers communicated with each other with their eyes, and a few mocking smiles faintly welled up between the corners of their mouths.

In an instant, the kindness of the imperial court, the arrogance of Fan Wenhu, and the duty of being an official repeatedly fought in Tian Fengming's heart. With a twist on his heart, he flew up and jumped on the war horse, drew his sword from his waist and pointed it at the sky, and shouted loudly with all his strength: "Governor Fan Dadu is kind to you, when you are in danger, how can we see death and not save ......."

All the generals were stunned for a moment, and an expression of disbelief appeared on their faces.

"At this moment, the enemy is dark and the situation is dangerous. The generals quickly followed me to the north, then turned to the west, built a pontoon bridge in the lower reaches of Longquan Creek, and responded to the retreat of Governor Fan! ”

"Yes, sir!" Tie Lei and other generals shouted the order, and led the team to "kill" out of the camp gate with a smile, avoiding Fan Wenhu's camp on the west side, and "killing" to the north. The five thousand men and horses died down, and in an instant, they were all gone.

Two miles away, the fire was blazing. Fan Wenhu's handsome flag collapsed in the firelight.
