Chapter Twenty-Five: The Blood of Tsing Yi

After another three or five days, Gu Yun came to visit Xu You, he had already received the news, knowing that Xu You had fully recovered, from the corners of his eyes to the tips of his eyebrows, he was indescribably happy, holding Xu You's hand and reluctant to let go, and said: "Weizhi, God finally has eyes, let you survive this catastrophe!" ”

"Yes, I escaped death, and I feel a lot of feelings!" Xu You welcomed Gu Yun into the room and said with a smile: "I won't be polite to you, I'm used to sitting wherever I go, after all, you are the master of this house, and I am the guest!" ”

Gu Yun deliberately frowned, looked left and right, and said, "What about the frost?" Didn't I tell her to give this house to Weizhi? This little lady can't even speak, how can she do things? ”

Xu You sighed and said, "Really send me?" Then it's disrespectful, Feiqing is generous, I didn't make you a friend in vain! ”

"Ha, you're thick-skinned!"

Gu Yun smiled and could barely straighten his waist, held on to a few cases, and said reluctantly: "If you like it, then I'll give it to you!" ”

It's just a mansion, it's a drop in the bucket for Gu Yun, how can Xu You really be useless, and said: "When Qiantang is recovered, I still have to go back to Jingyuan, what do you want the mansion in Wu County to do?" Feiqing's kindness, I understand it! ”

Gu Yun understands his temper and does not force it, and Xu You is not a person who is short of money, and he needs help from friends to get by. The two sat opposite each other, and when they talked about the situation in Yangzhou, Gu Yun sighed: "Qiu Yuan stuck to Jiaxing, shrank into a corner, and didn't dare to send a soldier out again." The Heavenly Master Army, oh, now it's not called the Heavenly Master Army - the imperial court and Heming Mountain jointly told the world, saying that the rebels led by Du Mingyu and Liu Yan are white thieves, and this Yangzhou disaster has nothing to do with the Heavenly Master, but those who are confused and follow the thieves will not be investigated for the crime of rebellion and surrender from now on. If you can capture the white thief and return the above to the above, there will be a reward. Those who kill Liu Yan and Du Mingyu will be rewarded with ten thousand gold, made a marquis, and a general of Jin! ”

"White thief?"

"Yes, after many inquiries by the Sili Mansion, the reason why Du Mingyu was able to gather people to start an incident this time was that in addition to the Heavenly Master Daoist of the original Yangzhou Governance, there were also some people who escaped from servitude. Most of these registered households are small landlords of the Shu nationality and wealthy households of the Qi people who pretend to be overseas Chinese and mixed with the white nationality, and they were found to have problems when they were inspected last year, and the imperial court wanted to investigate their crimes and taxes, so they followed Du Mingyu to rebel. In order to eliminate the adverse effects of the Heavenly Master's Dao, the imperial court deliberately magnified the role of the Qihu in the rebels, so they were collectively called white thieves. ”

Xu You is familiar with history books, and is no stranger to the title of white thief, the rebellion of the Tang Dynasty in the Southern Qi Dynasty was caused by a turmoil caused by the harm to the interests of the landlords and wealthy families of the Shu nationality during the inspection, and the official name of the Southern Qi court for them was the white thief. Now that time has passed, space has changed, Du Mingyu has a great plan, and there is no comparison with Tang Yuzhi's rat eyes, but the name of the white thief recorded in history still appears uncontrollably.

As for last year's prosecution, Zhan Hong was one of the victims, and was forcibly extorted more than 2 million yuan by Lu Hui. The Zhan family has a big business and can afford two million dollars, but many rich families do not have such a great endurance, once they are forced by corrupt officials and corrupt officials to have no way out, and then be bewitched by Du Mingyu, it is not incomprehensible.

The white thief soldier pointed directly at Jiaxing, shouting and scolding outside the city wall, wanting to trick Qiu Yuan out of the city. Qiu Yuan didn't pay attention to it, and only relied on the high walls of the fortified city to defend it. But now it is found out that the white thief in Jiaxing is just a suspicious soldier, and its main force has gone to the northwest! ”

"Northwest ...... Wuxingjun? ”

"Well, Wu Xing! If you occupy Wuxing, you will be able to open up the Wanling and Dangtu lines, thus threatening Jinling. Du Mingyu under the banner of "resisting violence and saving the heavenly master", gathered 50,000 people under his command, and it seems that he does have the intention of attacking the Beijing Division! ”

The secession of one side is just a small fight of thieves, but the attack on the capital is a claim to the emperor's throne, and the nature has undergone a fundamental change. It can be seen that because he is unwilling to put aside the golden sign of Heavenly Master Dao, which is no longer useful, Du Mingyu can only go to Jinling, Xu You has already calculated this move, and he is not surprised, and said: "What is the Shen family going to do?" ”

"What can I do? Wu Xing is the county leader of the Shen family, and he will definitely not give up until he has to. The Shen family has been a general, the Jiangdong wealthy family, and there are countless private soldiers who have been raised, and even if they can't win, they may not be able to hold Wuxing! ”

Xu You's expression was solemn, and he said, "I have the opposite opinion from Feiqing!" ”

"Oh?" Gu Yun was stunned for a moment and said, "Weizhi, please advise!" ”

"Du Mingyu went north this time, with only one purpose, that is, to stabilize the morale of the army and offset the negative impact of Sun Guan and the imperial court. Therefore, you can only win, not lose! Even if he loses, he must first loot enough money, food, and men before he can explain to his subordinates. Xu You's smile was a little cold, and he said: "As for the Shen family, although Shen Muzhi is a master, he is cunning and suspicious, treacherous and fickle, in order to preserve the strength of the Shen family, it is estimated that he will not fight to the end with Du Mingyu." ”

"So, what does Weizhi mean?"

"If what I expected is correct, at the beginning, Du Mingyu will have a big victory, Shen Muzhi will be defeated, and then retreat from Yuhang, Wukang, and Linxi all the way to Wucheng County. If Shen Muzhi is bold enough, even Wucheng can be abandoned, and then continue to retreat to Changxing, Yuanxiang and other places, and choose a place with dangerous terrain to wait for help. Next, Du Mingyu will be frustrated, followed by a small defeat, and when the army in the imperial court arrives, he will immediately retreat, to Wucheng, to return to Qiantang, depending on the battle situation at that time, and then make a choice! ”

Gu Yunting's heart was convinced, and he praised: "In the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, and the truth of the micro can be said to be waiting for now!" ”

The war really developed according to Xu You's prediction, and the white thieves first conquered Yuhang, and then conquered Wukang, and suddenly swept Yuqian and Lin'an to the west, and then captured Linxi and Anji to the north.

Of the ten counties in Wuxing County, six counties fell into the hands of thieves.

The Shen clan seemed to be fierce every time they resisted, but in fact, they collapsed at the first touch, retreated while fighting, and their strength was not damaged at all, and they also took advantage of the chaos to loot the wealth of many inferior scholars.

However, there are also Xu You who did not expect it, this expedition, Du Mingyu did not use Liu Yan as the commander, but transferred the Chiba army from elsewhere, and at the age of 20, he became the commander of the first army, which shows that this son is deeply trusted by Du Mingyu and has outstanding talents!

Chiba did not live up to Du Mingyu's trust, and in the battle of Wuxing, 50,000 white thieves were sometimes as fast as a tiger, sometimes as cunning as a fox, as fast as the wind, as powerful as fire, and invincible.

On the night of October 23, the white thieves gathered their troops and surrounded them in three ways, blocking the water of Wuchengwei!

The world is shaking!

The imperial court did not wait for Shen Muzhi's request for help, appointed Xiao Yushu as the general of the expedition to the east, and supervised the military of Yangzhou, Jiangzhou, Nanyuzhou, Nanyanzhou, and Nanxuzhou on the holiday, and led the Chinese army of 30,000 people, with all the soldiers and armor, and rushed to Yangzhou!

"Where's Chiba?"

The room is brightly lit, Xu You ordered people to make a simple sand table with cement, finger painting shapes, integrating the mountains and rivers of Wuxing County, although the time is urgent, the production is rough, but at a glance, people are amazed.

He Wei inserted a small red flag into the sand table and said, "Yin Wind Valley!" Seven miles away from Wucheng, Chiba's handsome tent must be rooted in this valley! ”

Xu You looked at it for a while and asked, "Has the Chinese army been dispatched?" ”

Dong Solstice hurriedly said: "The Chinese army left Jinling six days ago, if there is no delay on the way, it should be in Changxing County by now!" From Changxing to Wucheng is only thirty miles, and it can be reached overnight! ”

Zuo Yan frowned and said, "What about moving east?" Why didn't Chiba capture Tomichi Prefecture? The eastward move is also more than 30 miles away from Wucheng, and the Shen family is stationed here with heavy troops, and they are horns on each other, which is really a thorn in the flesh, so why not pull it out as soon as possible? ”

"The news I got from Gu Fujun is that the person who guards the eastward move is called Shen Qing!"

"Shen Qing ......"

Xu You raised his head, his eyes were as cold as a knife, and said, "Is that Shen Xiaosun who calls himself Tsing Yi?" ”

Dong Solstice was intimidated by Xu You's gaze, he didn't dare to look directly, lowered his head, and said, "Yes, Shen Qingyi, some people also call him a blood wolf!" ”

Shen Qing, the fifth son of Shen Muzhi, the word filial piety, the number Tsing Yi, because his eyes are longer than the top, so some people joke about it as "Lu". He was not ashamed, but boasted of himself, a certain battle in the Northern Wei Dynasty, blood-stained robes, also known as blood!

Xu You will never forget this person, the change of Yixing, that is, Shen Qing led his troops to take the lead in the Xu family's dock fort, and no less than dozens of relatives died under his sword.

The blood is a deep revenge, and it is impossible to revenge!
