What can we do to stop Huang Hua from lowering the yuan and not make Huang Hua bigger? The young couple met and pondered until late at night, and finally planned the most cost-effective battle plan.

Li Luo touched the woman's forehead with his forehead, "Okay Lao Tie, Huang Hua and Wan Zhedu, most of them will be hung this time." Hongdu is in his hand, and there is another big city. ”

Cui Xiuning rubbed her smooth and round forehead, and said angrily: "Damn, you have horns?" ”

That night, one secret order after another came out of the Zhao Song Palace.

On 8 June, Li Luo dispatched 30,000 mobile soldiers and horses from Hangzhou Road and personally led him straight down to Raozhou Road (now part of Jiangxi), with Cui Xiuning sitting in Lin'an, acting as prime minister.

At the same time, an order was sent to Chen Shuzhen, Xu's wife stationed in Raozhou, western Zhejiang, to send 20,000 soldiers and horses to converge in Raozhou, attack Jiangxi, advance west along Poyang Lake, and attack Hongdu (Nanchang).

The 30,000 army led by Li Luo included 5,000 Khitan cavalry, 7,000 Jurchen cavalry, 2,400 Modao troops, more than 5,000 firearms soldiers, more than 5,000 heavy foot soldiers, and more than 5,000 pikemen.

In addition, there were 10,000 Japanese slaves and more than 10,000 mules and horses carrying heavy supplies.

Horses are like dragons, people are like tigers, the army is strong, and the fighting spirit is high. Li Luo led tens of thousands of Tang troops, raised the banner of the governor of the Yuan Dynasty and the Duke of Tang Li, and marched more than 100 miles a day along the wide and straight post road.

Along the way, the people stopped to watch, and when they saw that the Tang Army was so powerful, they were all emotional, and many even bowed and saluted.

"It's really a king! The Great Song Dynasty is saved! An old farmer said happily.

"Daddy Hou, what a big song! This is Datang! A young posterior corrected dissatisfied.

The old farmer muttered: "Yes, yes, yes, it's Datang, Datang..."

On June 12, Li Luo's army arrived in Raozhou, and Mrs. Xu's army of 20,000 was already ready.

Mrs. Xu brought 5,000 Jurchen cavalry, 5,000 crossbowmen, 5,000 pikemen, 5,000 firearms soldiers, and 5,000 Japanese slaves. The convergence of the two armies brought the total number of Tang troops to 50,000, and the cavalry to 17,000.

Under Wan Zhedu, there were only 30,000 cavalry.

"Weichen Chen Shuzhen, meet your lord!"

"Weichen Zhu Hao, meet your lord!" When Chen Shuzhen saw Li Luo, she immediately met with her deputy Zhu Hao and Shen Huahua and other brigade commanders.

"Flat body free of courtesy! Let's go up! Li Luo jumped off the big food BMW, carried the horsewhip and went straight into the coach's tent.

The senior generals who accompanied the expedition included Mrs. Xu, Zhu Jie, Yang Xu, Wu Yan, Xiao Bei, Yelu Zhongjie, Hu Gu, Guangxia, Zhang Yong, Shen Huahua and others.

On the big tree outside the big tent, I knew that I was hoarse... Know", the weather was very hot, but Li Luo took the lead in armor, and all the generals were all dressed in armor.

“… Wanzhedu also had 30,000 cavalry, including 10,000 Mongolian troops, 20,000 Tanma Red troops, and 50,000 Han troops. Under the city of Nahongdu, there are a total of 80,000 troops. ”

"And Huang Hua in the city is only more than 50,000 people. Moreover, morale is low, arrows are scarce, the army will run out of food, and the flood will be broken within ten days......"

“…… This is the strategy of this battle, the battle of Hongdu is the first tough battle between our army and the Yuan army, and it must be defeated! ”

General Li Luo's strategic strategy came out one by one, and all the generals were smiling. This strategy is not complicated, but it is difficult for Yuan Jun and Huang Hua to see through, and it must be Tang Jun who will take advantage in the end.

Yelu Zhongjie said with a smile: "The king's plan, turning the real into the virtual, the real into the false, and looking at it horizontally as the side of the ridge into a peak, it can be described as a yin and yang plan!" ”

When he was in Annan, he saw that Li Luo was good at using stratagems, which often yielded miraculous results.

When the generals heard this, they all felt that what Yelu Zhongjie said was very appropriate, isn't this a yin and yang plan? Although there is no yin and yang plan, it is appropriate to generalize in this way.

Hongdu is very close to Raozhou, only three days away. Therefore, in order to smoothly implement the plan, Li Luo did not march immediately, but ordered a day of repair, and it was not until June 14 that he pinched the time and marched unhurriedly.

And the huge and strict intelligence system of the Special Investigation Bureau has long been operating in advance for this war.

…………

Jiangxi Province is also a rich land in the south. But the Yuan Army, Huang Hua, the White Lotus Red Turban Army, and Zhao Liangchao fought here for half a year, and the chaos made the people even worse, and the displaced people were not only millions, but a large number of fertile fields were abandoned.

In the entire Jiangxi province, millions of people will go without food this year.

The Yuan army snatched grain and grass, Huang Hua snatched grain and grass, and the White Lotus Red Turban Army snatched grain and grass. It is the Guangdong Road in the south of Jiangxi Province, and Zhao Liangchuan has also robbed grain and grass.

Of course, compared to the anti-Yuan rebel army, the Yuan army was much more murderous.

Several rebels often knew the righteousness first, did not give it and robbed it again, and also said that they could deduct taxes, let alone slaughter the people.

But the Yuan army was different, and directly ordered the requisition of grain, and there was no room for negotiation. Dare to resist at all, and immediately wave the butcher knife to kill.

Half a year ago, there were hundreds of thousands of righteous troops in Jiangxi Province, and the momentum was extremely huge.

But half a year has passed, and Zhao Liangchao, who once occupied the entire Guangdong Road, now has only one Guangzhou city left, and only 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses left, and is besieged by Zhang Hongfan's army of more than 100,000 troops.

Everyone knows that the Zhao Song Dynasty Guangzhou court will not last long.

But the most difficult thing was Huang Hua, who established himself as the king of Wu in Hongdu City.

He couldn't hold it out for even ten days.

Outside the three gates of Hongdu City, there are Yuan army camp tents everywhere, full of a solemn atmosphere. Only the east gate was not surrounded by the Yuan army.

Circumference three and one.

During this time, there were often rebels who escaped from the east gate. But in fact, most of them couldn't escape, because the cavalry of the Yuan army was waiting nearby, and they would eventually catch up and kill them in the field.

In the former provincial yamen that was changed to the palace of King Wu, King Huang Hua of Wu was forcing a laugh to discuss with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

“… Lose his mother! Lonely to reduce the yuan, but expedient. The big husband can bend and stretch, what is it worth! Now that Wan Zhedu has allowed Gu to surrender to Yuan, he will be able to leave the city in a few days to surrender. At that time, my Da Wu will be able to escape the cage and make a comeback! ”

Huang Hua was dressed in a red embroidered dragon robe, wearing a gorgeous gold-painted jade black veil, which was completely a king's dress.

Although King Wu is self-appointed by him, he is also a king, and this dress etiquette can't be sloppy.

Therefore, although Huang Hua only occupied most of Jiangxi Province at its peak, since he became king, his daily use and honor guard pomp are quite exquisite. Otherwise, how to show the majesty of King Wu?

Huang Hua proclaimed himself King of Wu five months ago, not only sealed hundreds of officials, but also accepted dozens of beauties in one go, and named concubines and talents...... Called a lonely widow, a winner in life.

Why do you call yourself King Wu? Because Huang Hua never forgot Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he dreamed of occupying Jiangsu and Zhejiang and becoming the master of Lin'an or Jiangning. After learning that Li Luo occupied Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Huang Hua was still very resentful and threatened to seize Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

He couldn't have imagined that Li Luo would be a Han Chinese, and he couldn't have imagined that Li Luo, the Duke of Yue Guo in the Yuan Court, a famous general of the Yuan Dynasty, and a feudal official, would also rebel.

After becoming king, Huang Hua was very proud for a while. Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived. It wasn't until the Yuan court reacted and mobilized soldiers and horses to suppress it that Huang Hua once again learned the power of the Yuan army's iron cavalry.

He and the Jiangxi Red Turban Army turned the war into a jade silk, recruited troops and horses, and joined forces with two or three hundred thousand, which was not a small momentum, but it was impossible to beat tens of thousands of cavalry, and several major battles were defeated very badly, and finally the Red Turban Army was used as a shield by him and was completely wiped out by Wanzhe.

And his "Wu army" could only hide in the city and hold out. All the prefectures and counties occupied before were recaptured by the Yuan army.

Now, Ganzhou was also captured by the Yuan army, and the 20,000 Wu troops in the city were slaughtered by the Yuan army. There was only one Hongdu city left in his Great Wu, with more than 50,000 soldiers and horses.

Moreover, the food is running out, the arrows are exhausted, and the army is panicked, and it can no longer be defended.

Although the 100,000 people in the city were still facing him and did not want the Yuan army to come in, the people's strength was also exhausted.

Surrender, the soldiers and civilians in the city still have a way to live.

If it doesn't fall, then it will really be burned.

So what's the matter, although Huang Hua is a rebellious and ambitious wolf like Li Chengdong, his character is not incorrigible. He chose to reduce the Yuan, of course, there was also a consideration to avoid the people in the city being slaughtered by the Yuan army.

After Huang Hua finished, a young man in a red official uniform came out and said: "Great King, although it is a helpless move for my Great Wu to surrender to the Yuan, but if Wan Zhedu only pretends to surrender, and when our army goes out of the city, and then attacks with iron cavalry, then the Great Wu will be doomed." ”

This young man's name is Chen Rang, and he is the prime minister of Huang Hua and Wu Guo, and he is also Huang Hua's mastermind. But he has another identity: a spy of Tang Guoda.

Chen Rang is Cui Xiuning's second batch of students, and he has been infiltrating Huang Hua's camp for more than two years, and he is very trusted by Huang Hua. However, Huang Hua is self-righteous and arbitrary, and he is not a superior who humbly accepts advice. Therefore, although Huang Hua does have some skills, Chen Rang has never looked down on this capricious "King Wu" in his heart.

Chen Rangxin said: "Hmph, after you descend to the Yuan, do you still want to be willing to be the precursor of the Tartars and attack me Tangjiangzhejiang?" It's wishful thinking. ”

But he heard Huang Hua say unhappily: "Chen Qing, you are not worried once or twice. Anyway, it's lonely again, and you will hear it. ”

"Both Lone and Wan Zhe were colleagues and knew them well. Although Wan Zhedu was cruel and vicious, he made a very heavy promise that he would not do anything that went back on his word before the two armies, and he felt that victory was not martial, which was one of them. ”

"Second, he hopes that my Wu army will attack Li Luo after the surrender of the Yuan, after all, Dawu still has more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, once he enters Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it will be enough for Li Luo to have a headache, since he wants to see the two tigers fight, he will not kill the tiger of Dawu."

"The third is to make an appearance for the world to see. Hehe, Huang Hua can surrender, and of course others can, so can he use this to recruit rebellion, especially for Li Luo's generals. ”

"Accepting Da Wu's surrender, it is very cost-effective to complete Zhe, and if he loses his mother, will he not do it?"

Huang Hua's is very reasonable, and he almost figured out Wan Zhedu's thoughts. And although he fell to the point where he had to descend, he still had confidence.

His confidence is the 20,000-headed Tuo army that still exists.

Toutuojun is the absolute elite of the Wu army, and it is also Huang Hua's starting capital, they are all miners and porters, and their combat power is much stronger than that of the Yuan army and the Han army.

With this elite army here, even if Zhedu rebelled and killed him, he would lose a lot of soldiers and horses. Wan Zhedu is not a fool, how can he do it?

When I get through this difficult hurdle and go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with this army of soldiers and horses, I won't be bad.

A military general named Zhang Hui stood up and said: "The king is right, he will surrender, Li Luo is always easier to deal with than the Yuan army's iron cavalry, as long as he goes to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to make some military achievements, the Yuan court is not easy to unload the mill and kill the donkey." With tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, our Dawu will not fall. ”

He is the general of the Hussars of Wu and the newest subordinate of Huang Hua.

At this moment, suddenly a messenger came to the outside of the hall and said in a loud voice: "King, there is a military situation!" ”

“！” Huang Hua's expression was solemn.

Because the Yuan army deliberately surrounded three and opened an exit, the communication between the city and the outside world was not completely severed. Obviously, Wan Zhe has no fear.

The messenger said: "Li Luo of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, personally led tens of thousands of troops, has arrived in Poyang Hunan, and is almost to Hongdu!" ”

Huang Hua looked overjoyed, leaned forward and asked, "Li Luo wants to come to help Dawu?" ”

If Li Luo personally led the troops to help, then he would not have to surrender. But if there is a way out, how can he surrender?

The messenger said with some fear: "King Qiqi, Li Luo... It's not to help Dawu, the spies returned, according to Li Luo, he wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob and make a profit. ”

Chen Rang glanced at the messenger quietly, Huang Hua didn't know that this messenger was his person.

When Huang Hua and the others heard this, they were all furious!

Good you Li Luo! Da Wu is also a member of the Han family, anti-Yuan party, you don't want to save you when you die, you want to come to the fisherman to make a profit, take advantage of the war between Da Wu and the Yuan army, so as to pick up the cheap!

Huang Huajunchen did not have the slightest doubt, but subconsciously believed it.

Really, Li Luo would not be so kind, so he led the army here, of course, to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. It was good to take advantage of Yuan Wu's death and seize Hongdu.

"Hahaha!" Huang Hua suddenly burst out laughing, "Lose his mother!" Li Luo, a despicable villain, is really smart! How would he know that Lone would be able to reduce the yuan immediately? He expects both Lone and Wan Zhe to die, where else can he hope for it? ”

"He's here to die, and that's great! Lone joined forces with Wan Zhedu and killed him, a traitor to the Yuan Court, first! With this battle exploit in hand, even if there is no reward, Kublai Khan will not be able to settle accounts with our autumn queen! ”

When Huang Hua came here, he looked at the messenger, "Is the news accurate?" Did Li Luo really personally lead the army? ”

The messenger said: "Your lord, it's true. ”

Huang Hua waved him down, and then said to the ministers of Wu State: "Gu immediately repaired a book and gave it to Wan Zhedu, presumably Wan Zhedu also knew the news." Haha, if he wants to fall asleep, Li Luo will come to deliver a pillow and throw his mother's..."

…………

Wan Zhedu received Huang Hua's letter, sneered, and said to the generals: "Bold and despicable wild dog! Ben Shuai allowed him to surrender, gave him a chance to make meritorious contributions, and attacked Li Luo, he dared to lie to me! Secretly lure Li Luo to help, but lie that Li Luo is here to seize Hongdu! I want to lead this handsome plan! ”

A subordinate general shouted: "Huang Hua really deserves to die!" You can't trust Him anymore! ”

The generals of the Yuan army also said that they would no longer accept Huang Hua's surrender, and simply killed him directly.

Wan Zhe was very angry, and with the image of braided hair, he looked very vicious.

Why was he angry when he saw the letter?

Because he also received another letter, a letter from the city of Hongdu.

The letter was written by a pseudo-Wu official surnamed Chen, and the other party had already secretly taken refuge in him. In that person's letter, Huang Hua had already secretly communicated with Li Luo, invited Li Luo's rebels to come to Hongdu, adopted a strategy of deception, and dealt with Li Luo with the Yuan army, and then defected.

Huang Hua's reward was that after defeating himself, he ceded Jiangzhou Road (Jiujiang) to Li Luo in the north of Jiangxi.

Moreover, Tang and Wu recognized each other that one occupied Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the other occupied Jiangxi, and they were not allowed to cross the border.

That's the news from the city!

Moreover, Wan Zhedu also knew that Li Luo had entered Jiangxi and would be able to reach Hongdu tomorrow afternoon.

What is he here for? It must be to rescue Huang Hua and deal with himself!

You don't have to think about it.

If he hadn't secretly agreed with Huang Hua, how could he dare to come to Jiangxi in person and face the two forces?

Hmph, Huang Hua still lied to himself, Li Luo came to be a fisherman, if someone in the city hadn't reported the news, he would have really believed it.

He was indeed willing to accept Huang Hua's surrender, but Huang Huashan was exhausted, but he still wanted to deceive Yin himself.

Huang Hua was capricious and killed high-ranking officials in the province, why did Wan Zhedu still accept his surrender?

Of course, he used Huang Hua to attack Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and bit Li Luo, and he took the opportunity to destroy Li Luo.

He is not afraid that Huang Hua will join forces with Li Luo when he arrives, because once a person like Huang Hua goes to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he will definitely compete with Li Luo and the two tigers, and it is impossible to join forces. They cooperate, also temporarily.

After all, the two were colleagues, just as Huang Hua was familiar with him, he was also familiar with Huang Hua.

Huang Hua will definitely fight with Li Luo when he goes to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In that case, the rebellious Han people will create the rebel Han people, and what will be defeated is the people's heart and military spirit of the Han people.

The Great Yuan Dynasty is still good, you are fighting each other for the sake of territory and food, can this rebellion succeed? Also in order to restore the Han people?

Although the Han people are lowly, they are not stupid.

Moreover, accepting Huang Hua's surrender is also conducive to recruiting Li Luo's subordinates and disintegrating Li Luo's rebels.

If you don't accept Huang Hua's surrender, of course, you can destroy him, but your own Dayuan Iron Cavalry will definitely have some losses. After all, the head Tuojun in Huang Hua's hands is not weak.

No matter how you look at it, it is much more cost-effective to accept Huang Hua's surrender.

But Wan Zhedu never imagined that Huang Hua's surrender was just a pretense to confuse himself.

"Na Yan, give the order to attack the city, and destroy Huang Hua before Li Luo comes!"

"Handsome! Give the order! ”

Several generals shouted, eager to break Hongdu immediately and slaughter Huang Hua.

"Are you stupid roe deer?" Wan Zhedu stopped these generals, "Hongdu is a big city, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, how can you attack it in one day?" It's better to count the calculations. ”

"Since Huang Hua wants to surrender by fraud, then tell him that he must go out of the city and surrender before tomorrow morning, and destroy Li Luo together. If he misses the hour, he will no longer accept surrender, let him wait for Dayuan's punishment! ”

"If he goes out of the city, he will destroy him. He didn't dare to go out of the city, that is, he would expose his lies. ”

All the generals felt justified. This response is indeed the best.

…………

"Let Gu surrender tomorrow morning, and then destroy Li Luo together?" Huang Hua soon received a reply from Wan Zhedu.

In a word, it is up to you whether it expires or not.

"Good! Lone agreed, tomorrow morning out of the city to reduce the yuan, please believe me again after the end of the Zhedu marshal! I, Huang Hua, will definitely wear a crime and make meritorious contributions! ”

Huang Hua agreed without much hesitation, he had no way out.

Li Luo can't save him kindly, he will only take advantage of the fire to rob, he might as well reduce the yuan and destroy Li Luo. Although he can't be the king of Wu for the time being, the high-ranking officials still continue to do it.

As for whether the Yuan Court will settle accounts after the autumn in the future, that is a matter for the future, and I don't care about it so much now.

…………

The news that Huang Hua promised to go out of the city to surrender the Yuan, and the news that Wan Zhe pretended to surrender, arrived at Li Luo's military tent in the middle of the night.

At this time, Li Luo has already arrived in Jinxian County, and he will be able to reach the Hongdu City tomorrow.

Li Luo received two pieces of information from the Wu army and the Yuan army, and was immediately relieved.

The yin-yang scheme worked.

This is actually a very simple strategy, not complicated at all, but in this situation, it is difficult for the commanders of both Yuan and Wu to see through this simple trick.

Because it is too reasonable, it is also conducive to human skepticism.

Wan Zhe must believe that Huang Hua sincerely surrendered, which is really strange.

Although it was not complicated, it also took him and Cui Xiuning a lot of planning time. In particular, it is not easy to grasp the time node and cooperate with the intelligence.

The undercover agent in the Wanzhedu army was personally arranged by Cui Xiuning for a long time. For so long, it was almost a state of silence, and this time I was awakened.

And Chen Rang and others in the Wu army's camp played a great role.

"According to the speed of our march, the Yuan army must have thought that we would arrive as soon as tomorrow afternoon. But we have to arrive at noon, and it is better to intervene in the middle of the big battle between the two sides! Li Luo said.

"No!" When the generals heard this, they looked excited.

If the monarch wins this time, then Jiangsu and Zhejiang will be even more stable.

The speed of the march of the Tang army was confusing the Yuan army from the very beginning.

Because of the Tang Army's long-term professional training, its marching ability is far better than that of ordinary infantry, and it can be used for a half-day rapid march without spending half a day.

This half day is the key.

…………

On the morning of June 16, Huang Hua reluctantly took off the robe of King Wu, led more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, and in the loss of the people of the city, raised the white flag and marched out of the city to formally surrender to the Yuan court.

Huang Hua walked out of the majestic Hongdu City with a sad heart, and looked back at the city tower, looking gloomy.

However, Huang Hua soon became optimistic.

The lonely Great Wu, but it is temporarily sinking, it will definitely make a comeback!

According to the rules, he had to go to the Yuan army camp in person to ask for surrender, and then change the banner and re-erect the battle flag of the Yuan army.

Of course, this is very risky, but there is no way, and since he wants to descend, he can't help but go. And he believed that with 50,000 troops behind him, with his knowledge of Wan Zhedu, he would not backtrack.

Wan Zhedu killed himself, and there was nothing good to gain except to vent his anger.

The Yuan army, which received the surrender two miles away, also lined up in formation, and the blue wolf battle flag of the complete Zhedu was waved in the wind above the large array.

The 30,000 yuan army iron cavalry, on both wings of the large array, is eyeing the tiger. The knights reined in their snorting horses, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

"Woo-woo-"

The gentle sound of the horn sounded slowly, and the sound of the horse-head qin playing also sounded in the Yuan army array, which made the slaughtering army array have a little more mild and beautiful, but also a strange atmosphere.

Chen Rang, who was in the Wu army's array, couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw Huang Hua Dugu's back walking towards the Yuan army camp.

Although this man dies today, he will eventually be a hero.

Under the banner of the blue wolf, Wan Zhe looked at Huang Hua who was getting closer and closer with a little playfulness, and his wolf-like indifferent and ruthless eyes actually showed a smile.

Sarcastic laughter!

ps: Although Huang Hua doesn't like me, it's still a little sad to write here. Friends, I think I'm wrong, you're not a top two, you're a top two! With such a poor exposure, we have killed more than a dozen people in the classified ticket gang, everyone is really amazing, the love of everyone! Feel! Please continue to support me! Good night everyone!
