Chapter 111: Trap

In fact, the Yuan people on the south bank of Fushui were not so easy to fight, and although they were in a situation where they were under the enemy and no reinforcements, they still stubbornly resisted until the horn of retreat sounded from the other side.

After learning that there would be no more support and that they could only retreat alone, the Yuan people began to disperse and break through, and the Song people, who were not determined to destroy the enemy, did not stop them much, and drove them to the mountains north of the river, and the two Song armies successfully met under the city of Chongqing.

Compared with Zhang Wan's elation, Zhao An, the land pioneer officer, did not have much success, because he did not have a few weighty Tartar heads in his hands, and he had not even won a thousand-household level general flag, and this mood became even more obvious after seeing the Tartars on the other side retreating in an orderly manner.

"The turtle son's is a fast runner." Zhang Wan stood side by side with him, looked over there and blurted out that his morale was enough to fight, and he had his back to the fortified city, but the enemy did not accept it, and he also had some regrets.

"The marshal has arrived." Hearing the shouts of the sergeants, the two turned around and saw Zhang Jue's banner moving towards this place, shouting like a tsunami all the way.

Zhang Jue, who was riding on a horse, glanced at the battlefield while waving to the soldiers, the smoothness of the battle was beyond his expectations, and the enemy almost retreated by himself, although the reason was unknown, but it was a success to break the siege.

At this moment, except for the scouts of the squad who were still chasing the fleeing enemy, the rest of the foot soldiers began to stop and clean up the battlefield, looking at the mountains of food and equipment in the camp.

"The marshal worked tirelessly to lead the army to help, and the whole government admired it, and now he broke the enemy in one fell swoop, and he congratulated the army."

Zhao Yingding, the Sichuan envoy and the governor of Chongqing Prefecture, who came to greet him, solemnly gave a salute, and Zhang Jue, who did not know that he had become the new owner of this city, did not slack off, and hurriedly thanked him in return.

And then, he politely refused the former's entry into the city, this was just a small victory, the retreat of the Yuan people was a little strange, he was afraid that it would be a trap, all the scouts in the army were scattered, and searched up and down the river.

"Tell me about it, what does this mean Tartar?"

On the bank of the river, Zhang Jue, surrounded by his own generals, looked at the Tartar camp opposite, which was already empty, raised the horse whip in his hand and asked.

"The festival marshal is worried that the Tartars are cheating, so he deliberately tempted me to wait here?" Zhao An replied first.

"It doesn't make sense, they also took a lot of effort to transport those things, so they gave it up, wouldn't it be more difficult to attack the city in the future?"

The other pointed to the battlefield behind him, the people who came out of the city were carrying the captured goods with all their might, and with these supplies, even if they returned to Hezhou now, the battle would be quite worthwhile, because they had come to deliver these in the first place.

"Wan calf, why don't you open your mouth?" Zhang Jue kicked the love general, this time to break the siege, the water army has the greatest credit, this guy is bold and careful, and he is not as rough as he seems on the surface.

"No, judging from the way it looks over there, it seems that the Tartars have retreated on their own initiative, and they have retreated cleanly, otherwise they would not have burned those."

Zhang Wan shook his head, in the enemy camp in the distance, a tall building car was surrounded by fire, crackling, and there were some similar equipment around. Such things are not easy to make, most of them are made of local materials, and there are not many trees under the city, which means that they were brought by the Tartars from themselves, and now they are burned by a fire, and even they look at it with pity.

After the Tartars retreated, a small group of troops sent from the city entered the abandoned camp, and after a search, they found no traps or the like, and the camp was indeed empty, and the Tartars took everything they could take away, and set fire to those who could not take them.

"If something goes wrong, it's a demon", Zhang Jue didn't think that the little force he brought could scare them away, and the information he had was too small to make a credible judgment, but what to do next needed him to decide.

Thinking about the time of the aid, he was determined to become a benevolent if he did not succeed, but now that he is under the city, he does not have much joy, and the generals are silent for a while when they see the boss looking like this.

"Let's go." It's useless to think about it, Zhang Jue led everyone back to the battlefield, several corpses fell at the gate of the camp, with a shocked expression on their faces, not like a fake, he stood still, just thinking of something, suddenly a few horses galloped over, but the direction was where they started.

"Where?" Hearing the news in their newspaper, Zhang Jue asked again, because he couldn't believe it.

"When I arrived, they had just approached the town of Macong in Jiangjin County, and they should have stayed there today." The leading sergeant gasped and repeated.

After confirmation, Zhang Jue showed a shocked look, he got the news that Luzhou had surrendered and the Tartars were sending troops to Chongqing Mansion before he sent troops, it was precisely because he was in a desperate situation that he would be so desperate to help, but now, he has finished fighting, and the enemy in Luzhou has just entered Chongqing Mansion, how is this possible?

From Jiangjin to here, it is only half a day's journey, if you rush to hurry, it will not take two hours, unlike the Tartars who besieged Chongqing Mansion, this army is a victorious army, if this qiē is a trap, then it is necessary to make a decision now.

"Why are you sure that they will stay in Jiangjin?" Zhang Jue ignored the anxious gaze of the congregation, he had a faint feeling in his heart, but he still needed some proof.

"Yu Jieshuai, a certain and his brothers have been staring at them since Luzhou, they are not walking fast, every city must enter, every town must stop, so there is this judgment." The sergeant replied without thinking.

Zhang Jue nodded, his gaze swept over the faces of several people, Zhao An's face was anxious, most people were the same as him, they all thought that this was a trick of the Tartars, only Zhang Wan was thoughtful, his heart moved, and he already had a plan.

"Time is pressing, so I won't raise the general, pass on the order of the general, let the brothers speed up, limit it to one hour, and after an hour, the commander will see this camp as it was before the war."

In the expectant eyes of the generals, Zhang Jue began to issue orders, the first one made everyone puzzled, but no one dared to say more, a personal soldier respectfully promised to pass on the order.

"Zhao An, this commander ordered you to be the vanguard, and the people of the consulate department will set off immediately."

"The last general received orders, but he didn't know where he was going." Zhao An replied with a fist.

"Fisherman's cave, you must get there within an hour, but you must not enter the town, but lie down in the mountains, and if the Tartars arrive, do not attack first, and send someone to report back."

The words of his own boss surprised him for a moment, and he forgot to say what he said, Zhang Jue seemed to know that he would be like this, and smiled faintly.

"Do you think that the Tartars are deliberately showing weakness to lure us here, and then gather and annihilate them?"

I have to say that if this is the case, the Tartar table is very similar, no wonder everyone thinks so.

"But there's also a possibility, what if there is no connection between the two enemy armies?"

Zhang Jue said slowly, the time was too tight, he didn't have time to do more verification, but he keenly felt that this was a big possibility, and if it was true, then there was a chance, a chance to hit the Tartar Xichuan Division.

He knew very well that Shuzhong had reached this point, and it was not far from being lost, even if the Tartars retreated this time, they would inevitably come back next time, and it would be impossible to block the two-way attack with Hezhou and a Chongqing Mansion, so he had this bold idea.

If this was a trick by the Tartars, then the enemy troops that had withdrawn now would definitely return suddenly at some point, and he had already sent his most effective spies to the front, and even if the Tartars did make any moves, they would be able to respond in time.

Under his orders, except for Zhao An, who set off for other places, the rest of the sergeants all joined the operation to clean up the battlefield, and they accelerated the speed of transporting supplies. In the original Tartar camp, the corpses were carried away, the fallen tents were re-erected, and the felled flags were erected again, all of which looked orderly.

In the city of Lin'an, Liu Yu once again sent people out of the city and returned, today is the day when Zhang Qingyun went on the road, he and the selected 20 sergeants will ride to Quanzhou, this trip he not only has the identity of a businessman, but also has an official body, Liu Yu for him to get a "coastal system" to manage the hook of the ministry.

Not long after returning home, a visitor came, in addition to his brother-in-law Ye Yingji, there was also an uninvited guest, the Empress Dowager Xie's nephew, Xie Tang.

"Brother Shengdao, which gust of wind blew you here, strange Dao magpie climbed the branch early this morning, it turned out that there was a distinguished guest coming."

Liu Yu called his words, and the two had already talked about the same year, just as they were arguing about each other, Xie Tang didn't think he was angry when he heard it, but laughed.

"Who told you that this kid didn't want to come to the door after returning to Beijing for so long, so he had no choice but to be cheeky and come to the door himself."

Xie Tang's words are true, Liu Yu is not reluctant to go to his door, but people are relatives of the country, how to intersect, he really can't handle the proportions, even Ye Yingji can't help in this regard, plus everything is busy, and the result is forgotten.

But this time, the two of them came by themselves, and they didn't bring their families or anything, Liu Yu secretly thought, this is just an ordinary visit, there should be something.

"This house is not bad, but with your net worth, it is only right that you should not look for a bigger one."

Sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, this product hit Liu Yu's sore spot, so he didn't believe that people didn't know that this was his wife's dowry, did he clearly say that he was eating soft rice? Knowing that there must be something to follow, he didn't answer, just looked at what he was going to say.

"You also know that it is not easy to live in the capital, and you have to use money everywhere, and people like me and others, if they only rely on that little money, I am afraid that they will not even be able to support their wives and children."

Xie Tang is right, his brother-in-law Ye Yingji is the ordnance supervisor of Zhengliupin, with the salary of the Song people, not to mention the kind of place in Yefu in Lin'an City, even if it is the kind of yard that Liu Yu rented, it is also unaffordable, not to mention that he has to support his family and servants.

And his father-in-law, the elder, still enjoys the top salary of Zhengyipin after Zhishi, and the title of the duke, and the income of thousands of households is actually sealed, and he still has to get gray income to support his family, otherwise he can't even make up his wife's dowry.

has been dealing with the Song people for a long time, of course Liu Yu knows that these people are talking from the side, and slowly entering, since this goods said such a thing, then the purpose of his coming is obvious, it must be related to wealth! R1058
