Li Luo looked at the map and judged the approximate time when Huang Hua would go to the Xianxia Mountain Range. That spy has already entered the mountains with the remnants of Huang Hua's army, and he can't send information for the time being.

The Xianxia Mountains are the so-called mountainous areas of southern Zhejiang and northern Fujian, with a vertical and horizontal terrain of 200 miles, and the terrain is dangerous, but it is not deserted, and it can be regarded as a "revolutionary base area". When the cavalry of the Yuan army arrives here, they will be blinded.

The mountains are rugged and difficult to travel, and Huang Hua still has to find ways to collect grain while walking, and it is estimated that he will not be able to reach the Xianxia Mountains until at least the second half of the year and leave Fujian.

Therefore, Li Luo can't withdraw his troops now, he wants to go north directly, block the north of Xianxia Mountain, and force the remnants of Huanghua out of Fujian.

Second, it is necessary to wait until the conscripted auxiliaries arrive in the army, otherwise, it will be difficult to poach people.

Count it up, Mrs. Xu of Yunxiao Mountain is about to be fooled by Zong Tian to send troops, right? She shouldn't let go of such a good opportunity.

In a few days, the Haidong Naval Division, who pretended to be the remnant Song Dynasty Sailor, should also come to "attack" Quanzhou.

Well, it's like playing chess, one piece by one falls. What's even cooler is that Yuan Ting didn't know that the person playing chess was him Li Zhongzheng.

And there is only one purpose in this whole game of chess: to poach people.

Li Luo repaired in Jianning for a few days, and in the name of exterminating the remnants of Huanghua, he left Jianning City and slowly went north, walking all the way and stopping all the way.

Even, Li Luo also turned around and went to Zhenghe County, that is, Huang Hua's hometown, and tossed for a few days in the name of searching for the chaotic party.

It was not until late May that Li Luo came to Pucheng County, south of the Xianxia Mountains, to settle down. Then pretended to send a scout horse to search for the whereabouts of Huang Hua's remnants.

Huang Hua, Huang Hua, I left you enough time, you should have entered the Xianxia Mountain Range now, right?

A full day passed, and the horses sent out reported that the remnants of Huang Hua had entered Xianxia Mountain and might not be in Fujian.

"Huang Hua is treacherous, our army is guarding here, don't teach him to kill out of the mountain again. One day is not sure that the yellow thief will leave Fujian, and the church will not return for a day. Li Luo said to the generals.

The color general Ertu said: "Pingzhang official, do you want our army to go into the mountains to encircle and suppress?" As a color-eyed person, compared to the Han general, he wants to chase after him and completely exterminate Huang Hua.

Li Luo said: "The terrain in the mountains is extremely unfavorable to our cavalry, and we can't advance and suppress it, so as not to be taken advantage of by thieves and turn victory into defeat." Besides, if there is no holy decree to cross the border to chase the enemy, wouldn't it offend Jiangxi and Jiangsu and Zhejiang? ”

"Pingzhang officials see it clearly!" Ertu said, thinking that it was because of Li Luo's stability. Also, he is a provincial level, with a high and powerful position, of course, he can't be greedy and rash.

After a few more days, the auxiliary troops requisitioned from various counties arrived at the Pucheng camp one after another.

These are all young and strong men who are dragged down by no family, and according to Li Luo's orders, they must be able to be used as auxiliaries. Since only 200 people were levied in each county, it was not difficult to do.

By 28 May, all the tens of thousands of auxiliaries had arrived, and the leaders were all from the county government.

Li Luo personally checked it and found that these "auxiliary soldiers" were all under the age of thirty and over seventeen or eighteen, and they were all young and strong peasant children, and he was very satisfied.

Yes, the county officials really didn't dare to perfunctory themselves and didn't discount it. Well, these people were sent to Haidong, and they were able to train thousands of soldiers and horses.

Yan Falcon, Yan Tong, Liu Dadao and other guards all looked at each other and smiled. Of course, they know where these tens of thousands of "auxiliaries" will go.

After waiting for a few more days, Tanma reported again, and it was determined that the remnants of Huang Hua had left Fujian and would not come to poison Fujian again in the short term, so Li Luo ordered to take a large number of prisoners.

As soon as Li Luo ordered the class teacher, a horse from Quanzhou sent a shocking news.

Six days ago, Chen Shuzhen (Mrs. Xu), the female thief leader of the Yunxiao Mountains, suddenly came out of the mountain and led more than 10,000 people from the She and Han coalition forces to capture Zhangpu County.

Later, Mrs. Xu and the commander of the Zhangzhou army Wang Yue fought fiercely outside Longxi City, Wang Yue because of the fear of the enemy like a tiger, improper command, the result of a big defeat, only led hundreds of cavalry to escape from Zhangzhou, the governor and Daru Huachi also abandoned the city and fled.

Li Luo was pleasantly surprised in his heart, and secretly said that Mrs. Xu was really fooled by Zong Tian and others to send troops, but her face was shocked, and she shouted: "How is Zhangzhou now!" ”

Tanma said: "After the thief army occupied Longxi City, they attacked Nanjing, and the villain estimated that the entire Zhangzhou Road should fall into the hands of thieves. ”

Li Luo was "furious" and whipped in the air, "The female thief dares to bully me!" Wang Yue is greedy for life and afraid of death, incompetent rats, he actually lost his teacher and land, he should be killed! ”

"Herald! Hurry south, suppress the thief army, and recapture Zhangzhou! ”

"Wow!"

As soon as the military order, several soldiers and horses, together with 10,000 auxiliary soldiers, immediately went south in the starry night. Li Luo even ordered the 4,000 cavalry of Turku to go first.

…………

The capital of Zhangzhou Road, Longxi City.

Today's Longxi City has become the camp of Mrs. Xu. Only seven or eight days after coming out of the mountain, Mrs. Xu swept the entire Zhangzhou and five county towns by virtue of the great victory of defeating the hardcore traitor Wang Yue.

It is a pity that because a large number of displaced people from Zhangzhou Road have been sent overseas, Mrs. Xu has not been able to expand her troops.

In the Governor's Mansion of Longxi City, the generals of the righteous army were deliberating.

Sitting in the handsome seat is a woman about 30 years old, this woman is handsome, resolute, a pair of slightly concave eyes are bright and bright, and she is wearing leather armor, wearing a scimitar at her waist, and she has the heroic air of a heroine in the middle of the woman, which is very eye-catching.

Of course, she is the famous Mrs. Xu, the leader of the She Army, and the famous Chen Shuzhen.

Although Mrs. Xu is the leader of the She army, she is a Han person, and she is not a reckless woman, but from a famous family. His father, Chen Wenlong, was the governor of the Song Dynasty and was the deputy minister. Moreover, the Chen family is a Fujian wang family, and they have been hairpins for generations.

Her husband Xu Hanqing is also from a family of eunuchs for generations. Xu Hanqing himself is also a Jinshi, not only an official of the Song Dynasty, but also because he is good at business, his family is rich, and he is known as Xu Million.

Mrs. Xu's maiden husband and husband are so prominent, it can be seen that she is a woman from a wealthy background and pampered. But Mrs. Xu has been different from other women since she was a child, and she typically doesn't like red clothes and loves arms. She was not interested in female red embroidery at all, but she was quite enthusiastic about mounted archery and military affairs.

When Meng Yuan invaded the south, his father Chen Wenlong and her husband Xu Hanqing both died against the Yuan, and Meng Yuan was a family hatred and a national hatred for her. After the death of her father and husband, Mrs. Xu inherited the will of her father and husband and continued to organize the anti-Yuan movement.

Historically, Mrs. Xu was betrayed by Huang Hua, who surrendered to the Yuan court, and was captured by the Yuan army and killed in the spring of this year.

But because of the butterfly effect caused by Li Luo, Huang Hua turned against Yuan a year in advance, and Mrs. Xu was also alive and well.

"She Shuai, now that our army has occupied Zhangzhou, and Quanzhou is empty, and Li Luo of Tartar Pingzhang has gone to northern Fujian again, is it time to fight Quanzhou next?" A general said.

Mrs. Xu shook her head: "Our army only has 7,000 She soldiers, 5,000 Han soldiers, and a total of more than 10,000 horses, how can we fight Quanzhou?" That's a dead end. Not to mention the instigation capital of Huguang and the capital of Wanzhe in Jiangxi, even the tens of thousands of Han troops in Tartar Pingzhang, it is difficult for our army to defeat. ”

"Don't forget, Tartar Pingzhang Li Luo, but he just defeated Huang Hua. Once he is consumed in Quanzhou, when the Yuan army is surrounded by all four places, even if our army wants to retreat, it will be impossible to escape. ”

Another general said: "What does she mean by returning to Yunxiao Mountain?" ”

Mrs. Xu stood up, holding the hilt of her sword, and looked at a young man who was not wearing armor, "Envoy Zhang Zhan, attacking Zhangzhou was also suggested by you before, but you should tell me, what should you do now?" ”

Zhang Zhan, in fact, is Zong Day, the team leader of the Special Investigation Bureau's special team. Zong Ri is already very skilled in performing such a task.

Zong Tian pretended to be an envoy of the small Nanyang court and stayed in Mrs. Xu's camp for several months. Since Li Luo was a coastal envoy and blocked the sea area, the real envoy had already been captured by Luo Yu's sailors. Then Zong Tian came pretending to come.

Zong Tian said: "When I came down, the imperial court specially instructed that it must be based on preserving strength, and it doesn't matter whether this territory is occupied or not." The court asked Zai Xia to repeatedly remind She Shuai to keep the useful body of the soldiers and recuperate. Instead of shopping with the Tartars. ”

"With this little bit of soldiers and horses of our army, even if we occupy the whole of Fujian, most of them will not be able to hold it. After finishing the capital to the south, instigating the capital to advance eastward, we can immediately surround and kill our army. Before going down, it was suggested to fight Zhangzhou, firstly, to tell the people that the Great Song Dynasty was not dead, so that they should not forget the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Second, of course, it is to replenish food and grass and military supplies. This has never been out of the mountain, and the soldiers will be lazy, and there will not be enough to eat. ”

Another general said dissatisfiedly: "What does Zhang Zhan's envoy mean is that we finally occupy Zhangzhou, and then don't want to forge ahead, and then return it to the Yuan army, and return to the mountains to continue to nest?" ”

Zong Tian smiled slightly, "General Qu Shi, this is not the meaning of the subordinates, it is the meaning of the imperial court. ”

"Hmph, the imperial court, if the imperial court really has the right idea, it will not lose Lin'an first, then Quanzhou, and go into exile in Nanyang." Qu Shi snorted coldly and said.

Of course he hated Meng Yuan, but to say that he had a good impression of Zhao Song would be nonsense.

Zhao Song was notoriously mean and unkind to the generals. As a martial artist, Qu Shi was of course dissatisfied with Zhao Song. If it weren't for She's face, he wouldn't have bothered to take care of any bullshit court.

Not only Qu Shi thought so, but several other She Han generals present all thought so, and none of them had a good impression of Zhao Guan's family. If there is a second option, they will definitely not contribute to the resumption of Song.

Zong Tian saw the generals mentioning the imperial court with disdain, although he was secretly happy in his heart, his face turned pale and said: "Qu Shi, although the imperial court has temporarily lost the country, it is still the orthodoxy of the Han people, can you criticize it!" ”

Mrs. Xu's face sank and said, "Qu Shi, you are a little excessive, this is not what you should say." Now that the Yuan court is in full swing, it is only right to unite and restore the Han family. ”

"The envoy is right, preserving strength and retaining useful bodies is the best policy. When the grain and property of the gentry in each county were collected, they returned to the mountains with their things. ”

To put it bluntly, Mrs. Xu went out of the mountains this time mainly for food and salt materials, after all, the arable dry land in the mountains is limited, and she can't support her soldiers and horses and the old and weak. This time I can return with a full load, and it is always not in vain.

Qu Shi and other generals couldn't help but be a little disappointed when they saw that She Shuai was still unwilling to continue fighting.

Zong Tian smiled and said, "She is handsome and wise!" ”

This man is already a seasoned spy.

…………

On June 4, Li Luo finally came to the vicinity of Quanzhou, but then Ertu sent someone to send a report, and a large number of sailors came to the sea off Quanzhou, under the banner of the Song army, with thousands of warships and an estimated strength of 20,000 or 30,000!

Li Luo rejoiced in his heart, his sailor was finally here!

"What! What a disaster! Did the thief army sailor land? Say! Li Luo shouted.

Tanma knelt down and said, "Back to the middle hall, the villain hasn't landed yet when he comes, because Luo Wanhu's sailor is confronting him!" It's just that Luo Wanhu has few ships and few soldiers, and now I don't know what to do. ”

Li Luo was "anxious" and ordered a quick march, and came to the city of Quanzhou an hour later. When the provincial officials saw that the Pingzhang officials finally led the army back, they put down the little heart that was hanging.

"Zhongtang!" Zuo Cheng Sapler came up with all the officials with an anxious face, "Zhongtang expected it to be good, the dead Song Shui Division really came to fight Quanzhou, fortunately, Luo Wanhu governed the army well, and the thief army and the water division did not attack easily." ”

Li Luo and the others climbed the city tower to take a look, and sure enough, they faintly saw white sails like clouds on the sea ten miles away, although they couldn't see it really, they also knew that there were a lot of soldiers and horses.

As for Luo Yu's sailors, there were much fewer boats, but they just took a defensive posture, relying on the coastal terrain to confront the "Dead Song Sailors".

"Report!" A scout horse rushed to the head of the city and knelt down with a plop, "Yuzhongtang, the Yunxiao thief army is killing and plundering big households in various counties of Zhangzhou, recruiting troops and buying horses, 100,000 urgent!" ”

Li Luo pretended to be pondered, and then ordered: "Li Jie, He Yi! The two of you led the department to help defend Quanzhou, and you must ensure that Quanzhou is not lost! ”

"Wow!" Li Jie and He Yi took the order.

"Shang Zhu, Cha Yin Nan! The two of you are in charge, follow the main hall to recapture Zhangzhou Road! Li Luo gave the order again.

"Wow!" Shang Zhu and Cha Yin Nan received the order and immediately went down to rectify the army.

Li Luo looked around at the officials and said coldly: "The Huanghua Rebellion has been settled, but this Zhangzhou and Quanzhou can't be lost!" This hall goes to Zhangzhou, this Quanzhou defense, please leave it to you! However, before the church leaves, there is still something to do, to be in good spirits! ”

After Li Luo finished speaking, he suddenly stared at Wang Yue behind the crowd, and sneered: "Wang Yue, you are the commander of the Zhangzhou Army, how did you come to Quanzhou?" Tell me, you have 10,000 soldiers and horses, why did you wipe out the whole army and let the thief army occupy Zhangzhou? Huh?! ”

After the smug little man finished speaking, he looked at the two third-grade officials again, "You two are the town guards and chief officials of Zhangzhou Road, right?" Why, you didn't stay in Zhangzhou to manage the government, why did you run to Quanzhou? ”

The little man seemed to be interrogating without discrimination, but in fact, there was a trick in his words, and he deliberately guided Daru Huachi and the chief manager to put all the responsibility on Wang Yue's head.

Simple on the surface, sinister in intention.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Luo said this, Zhangzhou Lu Daru Huachi immediately threw off the pot.

"Pingzhang official, this Wang Yue has the courage of a mouse, he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he escaped from the battle, so that the whole army was annihilated, which allowed the thieves to occupy Zhangzhou. The lower officials couldn't do anything, so they had to come to Quanzhou. Please use fair military law to kill this coward. ”

This Daru Huachi is a Mongolian, he has no worries about throwing the pot, and it is Wang Yue who is the most responsible, who taught him to manage the Han army in Zhangzhou?

The governor of Zhangzhou also hurriedly pointed at Wang Yue: "Zhongtang, Wang Yue escaped from the battle, causing Zhangzhou to fall into the hands of thieves, and we have to leave the city!" The lower official implored Zhongtang to behead Wang Yue and correct the military law! ”

Wang Yue's face was pale, and his body was like falling into an ice cellar.

"Pingzhang... Lord Zhongtang, the last general will be wronged, how dare you escape from the battle! It's just ...... "He did see the courage of the She soldiers at that time, and he was so frightened that he miscommanded and caused a great defeat." But to say that he escaped from the battle, he was really wronged.

But does he still have a chance to defend himself?

"You're not only a coward, you're lying! You're not an honest person! Daru Huachi said angrily.

The manager also said angrily: "Wang Yue, the matter has come to this point, what's the use of you quibbling!" ”

Li Luo's heart was refreshed, Wang Yue, Wang Yue, do you know what happened to offending me now? You hardcore traitor, you think you have Wanzhedu as a backer, why can't I help you? Your name is Nakado-sama now, it's late.

"Piffon dares to deceive me!" Li Luo suddenly attacked, "Turku! What a crime to escape from the battle in wartime! ”

Ertu said: "Go back to Zhongtang, according to my Dayuan military law, the crime should be beheaded, and the law will be corrected on the spot!" ”

Li Luo pointed at Wang Yue, who was pale, "Wang Yue, the head of the Zhangzhou Army, is greedy for life and afraid of death and escapes, so that the rebels invaded Zhangzhou and poisoned all the way!" As a provincial festival hall, how can this church tolerate you! Come on, drag it out of the city, and behead it for public display! ”

"Wow!"

A group of color-eyed guards immediately swarmed up and took down Wang Yue.

"Nakkai! The last will be wronged! The handsome man knows that the end will be man! Wang Yue shouted at the top of his voice.

Li Luo sneered: "If the commander knows what you have done, I am afraid that your fate will be even worse." Drag it down, slash! ”

The guards of the color eyes plugged Wang Yue's mouth, escorted him to the city gate, pressed him to the ground, and raised his knife and fell.

Wang Yue didn't understand until he died that if he hadn't relied on Wan Zhedu's support to snub Li Luo before, he would not have been killed by the marching method today.

Wang Yue is a high-ranking military attache of the third rank, if he changes his usual times, Li Luo has no right to kill him without authorization, at most he will be detained and waiting for the Yuan Court to deal with him. But now that it was wartime, and he had indeed lost his division and land, Li Luo was completely able to kill him on the charge of escaping.

Li Luo killed Wang Yue, of course, because Wang Yue had neglected himself before and didn't take himself as a Shangguan seriously. But even more because Wang Yue is a hardcore traitor, he once participated in the massacre of Changzhou, and his hands are stained with the blood of the Han people, so with this article, Li Luo must kill him.

Seeing Wang Yue's head fall to the ground in the blink of an eye, all the officials were terrified, and they were even more in awe of Li Luo. And Zhangzhou Lu Dalu Huachi and the chief manager were relieved.

Wang Yue, who carried all the black pots, died, and they no longer had any responsibility, and when Zhangzhou was recaptured, they were still the town guards and managers.

"Let's go!" Li Luo killed Wang Yue, and without saying a word, he took 10,000 soldiers and horses from the Monk Casting Department of Zha Yinnan and 10,000 auxiliary soldiers out of Quanzhou City.

Even Li Luo, the thousand-colored eye protector, didn't take it with him. The reason is to let Turku maintain law and order in the city, and strictly guard the inner and outer co-ordination.

Without color-eyed protectors, of course, you can't trust them. It was difficult for the color soldiers to be co-opted by him, and they could not participate in the affairs of Zhangzhou. And Zha Yinnan monk casting can be completely wooed, and it won't take long to get on his ship.

Just before Li Luo left, a spy from the Special Investigation Bureau rode a fast horse and drove straight to Zhangzhou.

Soon, Zong Tian received Li Luo's instructions, and Zong Tian suddenly knew in his heart, the Secret Dao Lang Lord is really clever, it is simply a ring after a ring, the benefits are not lost at all, and the handle is not left at all.

"She Shuai, the 20,000-strong army led by Tatar Pingzhang has set off, and he will enter Zhangzhou tomorrow at the latest. We're almost out of food, so let's go back to the mountains as soon as possible. Zong Tian said to Mrs. Xu, "The Yuan army will only increase, and it will be too late if you don't leave." ”

Mrs. Xu's horse scouting also found out that there were about 20,000 Yuan troops coming to Zhangzhou, and there were many cavalry. However, they didn't know that 10,000 of Li Luo's soldiers and horses were newly recruited auxiliaries, and there were only 10,000 real elite soldiers.

"Herald! Back to the mountain! Mrs. Xu did not hesitate to give the order to withdraw the troops.

Immediately afterwards, more than 10,000 Yunxiao rebels all pulled out of camp, loaded with a large amount of supplies with mules, horses and carts, and slowly retreated to Lantern Festival Mountain.

By the time Li Luo led the army to Longxi City, the Yunxiao Righteous Army had already gone away.

"Congratulations to Zhongtang for recovering Zhangzhou!" Shang Zhu and Cha Yin Nam complimented together.

It stands to reason that Li Luo entered Zhangzhou and did not fight, how can he say that he recovered Zhangzhou? But now that the enemy has retreated, it is indeed he who has recovered Zhangzhou.

As long as the cantata is well written, this is of course also a credit.

"Chase! The anti-thief is carrying a large amount of supplies, and he must not be able to go fast! Li Luo ordered the pursuit.

Li Luo followed the traces of the rebels to the Yunxiao Mountain Pass, and when he saw that the mountains were high and the forests were dense, the rebels had long since disappeared.

"Zhongtang, this, do you still want to pursue? There are only 10,000 soldiers in our army..."Shang Zhu and Zha Yin Nan didn't want to pursue, because they didn't want to kill the Han rebels.

Li Luo smiled mysteriously and pointed to the 10,000 auxiliary soldiers behind him, "Do you know why this church brought them?" ”

"Could it be... Looking for a fishing plan? Cha Yin Nan seemed to understand.

"Not bad." Li Luo nodded, "Now the Yunxiao Army has robbed a lot of grain, salt, and oil in Zhangzhou. At least for a year, they will not be short of food. So, what do they want most right now? ”

Shang Zhu smiled: "Of course there is a shortage of people. ”

Li Luo said: "It's just a lack of people." The homeless people on Zhangzhou Road are all gone, and they haven't recruited many new soldiers. If these 10,000 auxiliaries were sent to their mountains, how could they not eat? As long as we deliberately divide the troops into two places, they must pick the soft pinch first, and solve this unarmored auxiliary first. ”

Zha Yinnan sighed: "The last general finally understands that it is actually fishing and transferring the tiger from the mountain. The last general guessed that Zhongtang wanted to burn down the camp of the Yunxiao Army and destroy all the food and materials they had just grabbed? ”

Zha Yin Nan felt a little chill in his heart, this is really a poisonous plan. Once the food and materials that the Yunxiao Army has worked so hard to get are destroyed, even if the army's spirit does not collapse, it will not last long.

When the Yunxiao Army saw 10,000 unarmored Han auxiliaries, they would definitely send troops to capture them. Thus their great camp was temporarily empty.

It's just that, how does Zhongtang know where the camp of the Yunxiao Army is? By the way, Zhongtang must have sent a spy earlier, and this spy may be hiding in the Yunxiao Army.

Thinking of this, Zha Yinnan suddenly gritted his teeth, turned over and knelt down and said: "The last general has a reluctant request, if Zhongtang does not agree, the last general will not dare to blame, if Zhongtang agrees, the last general will be ruined from now on, and he will not give up!" ”

Li Luo seemed to have guessed something, and said with a smile: "General Luo, just get up and speak, whatever the request, you just have to say it." ”

Zha Yin Nan said: "From the conquest of Huang Hua, the last general can see that Zhongtang has a benevolent heart and is not a person who loves to kill. The last general is very impressed. The last general asked that if the thief army could be defeated this time, he would also ask Zhongtang to take prisoners as much as possible, and kill as little as he could. The last general is also a Han person, I really can't bear to see the Han people die too much, from the bottom of my heart, please punish in the middle hall! ”

Shang Zhu also turned over and dismounted, knelt down and said: "Lord Zhongtang, the last general also thinks the same as the chief manager, and the last general also hopes that Zhongtang will kill less." ”

Li Luo laughed, waved his horsewhip and said, "If others beg me, not only will this hall not agree, but it will also go to the imperial court." But since you plead... Hey, then the main hall will agree! ”

"Xie Zhongtang!" The two of them paused together.

ps: I think it's really stylish for the superior to say the phrase "Piffan dares to bully me".
