The strangest thing about things in the world is always unexpected, Zhu Yuanzhang sent troops to raid the surrounding counties and towns, and it went surprisingly smoothly.
Within three weeks, the three towns of Liankeshiguan, Leiguan and Shuikou, at present, the army is attacking the last strategic place in two ways, and this time it is Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang who gather superior forces to prepare to take the most important place in Lai'an County.
At this time, Shang Yu was in Shiguan Town, which was only dozens of miles away from Lai'an, and the grain and grass of the Chuzhou Righteous Army had to be transported to the army in front of the battle.
"Brother Shang! Your way of swinging the sword is wrong, if the two of you fight, it's good! But if two armies are against each other, and you are on a horse, facing many enemy troops, it is not advisable to do it as I did, although there are many flaws, but you can inflict the most powerful damage on the enemy in wartime. ”
Ma Xiuying raised the sword flat, and then rode the horse around, his body hung diagonally, and a sword flower with a radius of several feet suddenly burst out in the air, if there were enemy troops in that range, he would definitely be seriously injured by the sword light.
After reading it, Shang Yu realized that the swordsmanship he had learned from Tang He had no effect when the two armies were fighting, but that Ma Xiuying had taught him this method that was much more useful.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law, Xiao Yu has been taught! It turns out that foot combat is different from horse warfare, not only the morale and equipment of the soldiers will affect the outcome of the battle, but if all kinds of conditions can be turned in favor of our army, they can be used, am I right? Shang Yu humbly learned Ma Xiuying's trick on the horse on the horse, but he said such a sentence.
When conquering the first three towns, Shang Yu did not accompany Zhu Yuanzhang, but slowly walked with Li Shanchang's baggage rear team, and when he watched Shuikou Town, Shang Yu discovered a fact that there were very few real Yuan troops, and the defenders were defeated and fled as soon as they made contact.
The reason is that in the northeast area of Chuzhou, it was originally a gap between Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, and the main defenders of the Yuan army were stationed in the city of Jiqing, coupled with Zhu Yuanzhang's reputation for benevolence and righteousness in the Chuzhou area, most of the Yuan troops were originally from Han people, and they did not resist very enthusiastically when the army attacked.
After capturing the three towns, the rebels had taken more than 14,000 prisoners, most of whom were willing to follow Zhu Yuanzhang to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty and destroy the Yuan, while a small number were unwilling to be soldiers and would rather cultivate land and grow grain.
Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally just like when he was in Chuzhou, and all the trivial matters of collecting troops and arranging these prisoners were handed over to Li Shanchang, and the army went to Lai'an County in one go.
Shang Yu's five-string bow was finally improved, and thousands of pieces were made of ordinary green bamboo, although the distance and strength of the shooting arrows were far less than the bow made of the iron pear wood grid, but the range was still much stronger than the ordinary arrows.
Shang Yu was miserable in the past two weeks, Ma Xiuying's daily martial arts training made his waist and knees sore and painful after returning to the account at night, fortunately, as long as he slept for one night, his fatigue would disappear, but this also made Shang Yu a little bored with learning martial arts.
"Brother Shang! It's not good that you think about other things. At this time, I am teaching you the method of fighting, and you are thinking about the strategic strategy, the so-called one heart cannot be used twice, if you are always like this, you will not even be able to compare with the horses of the three kingdoms. Seeing that Shang Yu was distracted and asked about other things, Ma Xiuying couldn't help but say with a little anger on her face.
As she spoke, she rode forward, the steel sword in her hand was lightly raised, and the sword in Shang Yu's hand took it out of her hand and flew away.
"If you are distracted like this, you will not be able to gather your strength, and if you can't even save your own life in the army, how can you lead thousands of troops and horses to gallop on the battlefield?" When Ma Xiuying said this, her face sank again.
Shang Yu's face couldn't help but turn red, when it came to strength, Ma Xiuying was not as good as him at all, but there was a whirling force in the sword flower, and he couldn't resist, so he was simply knocked away by the irresistible force.
"Sister-in-law! I know it's wrong, I beg your pardon! Shang Yu said with a slightly red face.
Ma Xiuying took him captive to Chuzhou, her magical martial arts skills are what he yearns for, but the most important thing is that Ma Xiuying is a person with all-round talents in civil and military affairs, if it is not a woman, this Chuzhou marshal will not be Guo Zixing's son Guo Tianxu, but Ma Xiuying.
In a brief conversation with Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said that if there was no Ma Xiuying, he Zhu Yuanzhang would probably not even be able to read a few words, at best, he would only be a martial artist with excellent martial arts.
And Ma Xiuying just fell in love with Zhu Yuanzhang, a martial artist who was not good-looking, and taught Zhu Yuanzhang what he had learned in his chest, at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang surpassed his wife in the way of governing the army in a few years, and also created the achievements of the Chuzhou Righteous Army in three battles and three victories.
Ma Xiuying saw that Shang Yu was so taught, so her face softened a lot, and she put the sword into the sheath with a choked sound, and then sat down on the horse and looked at Shang Yu and said, "Brother Shang! You have only learned some light body kung fu in Quanzhou, but that is not a condition for becoming a general with troops, if you have divine power, if you can practice martial arts, you will definitely become a brave general in the righteous army, and you can contribute to the restoration of my Han dynasty. ”
"At this time, you have the name of a craftsman in the army, and it is rumored that you are a young hero in my righteous army, if you are cut off as soon as you fight with the enemy, you will inevitably be laughed at, and it will also hit the heart of my righteous army, this is what I force you to fight with me every day, only continuous fighting can make you transform! Do you understand? ”
For Shang Yu, she didn't expect to find such a treasure in Xiyu Village, not only saved her husband, but also the disciple of the leader of the Shang League, the supporter behind the rebel army, not only showed his face once in the school field, but also provided a new type of long-range attack weapon for the rebel army, so she tried her best to make Shang Yu have the power to protect herself in the future, and the training in martial arts has not stopped recently.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law, Xiao Yu is taught! If you can succeed in the future, you will not forget your teachings. "Shang Yu thought about the distraction, if he was on the battlefield, I am afraid that he would have been hacked to death by a random knife, how could it be just the situation of the knife in his hand being chopped away?
"It's good to know, I'm going to go back to Chuzhou this time, urging the grain and grass to speed up the delivery, if you don't deliver it quickly, it will delay your Brother Zhu's trip, and there are several counties and towns, if you can take it as soon as possible, my Chuzhou righteous army can have a base to resist the power of the Yuan army." Ma Xiuying said with relief that Shang Yu was very satisfied that she could understand her mind in this way. Mobile access: ap.16k.
After hearing this, Shang Yu immediately said: "Sister-in-law, if Lai'an County can be taken, only Quanjiao County in the south of Chuzhou remains, if these two places are obtained, the next goal is Jiqing, if you can get that city, it will be able to make our righteous army occupy a favorable position, and can block the state of the Yuan army connecting the north and south, although it is a little dangerous, but it is the best time for our army to expand its power." ”
Ma Xiuying was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Shang Yu to think so clearly, and guessed the strategy she had already set with Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shanchang, and couldn't help but look at Shang Yu differently, and said in her heart: "This son should be a general in the future, and I and Xianggong must keep this person." ”
"Brother Shang, I hope you can work with Mr. Shanchang to govern Shiguan Town, if you practice martial arts well in the future, I will have to lead your troops to serve in front of the battle, and tomorrow I will set off to return to Chuzhou, you can't stop practicing." As Ma Xiuyingle spoke, he turned his horse's head and galloped out of the school field.
Shang Yu looked at Ma Xiuying leaving respectfully, and thought excitedly in his heart: "What Mrs. Sister-in-law said is to promise me that after I have practiced martial arts, I will be allowed to lead troops to the battle. ”
Thinking of the slaughter of Lijia Village and the slaughter of Meiling Town, Shang Mei's hometown, after coming to the Righteous Army, and hearing the people in the Righteous Army tell about the tyrannical situation of the Yuan army in the north for nearly a hundred years, Shang Yu was eager to immediately raise an army to the Northern Expedition and drive the Yuan court out of the Central Plains.
At the moment, Shang Yu once again practiced the martial arts taught by Ma Xiuying in the school field, and a series of weapons designed by him are also being trial-produced in the army, and the first to be sent to the army is the five-string bow, and the hundreds of soldiers on the west side of the school are Han Chinese, and the treatment in the military camp at this time is much better than in the Yuan army.
The Han soldiers in the Yuan army compared to the Mongolian and Semu soldiers are treated differently from weapons and equipment, and the food and salary are also different, while the righteous army is treated equally, and there is no racial difference in the Chuzhou military camp, and the food and salary are also very timely, and the most important thing is that the orthodox feeling that exists in the hearts of the Han people for thousands of years makes them completely identify with the identity of the soldiers of the righteous army from the heart.
Five days after Ma Xiuying left, Li Shanchang suddenly came to the school field to look for Shang Yu, and his face was a little anxious, which made Shang Yu very worried.
"Brother Shang, can you go back to Chuzhou for my brother, there is not much grain and grass left in Shiguan Town, but you still have to try to support the army in front, Deputy Marshal Left and General Xu Da have besieged Lai'an County for several days, but they have never been able to conquer it, if the grain and grass in the rear cannot be followed, the army will return in vain!" Li Shanchang said with some concern.
Shang Yu sat in the tent, took a sip of water, and then said, "Mr. Li! Chuzhou has plenty of grain and grass, and it is not the rainy season, the road is smooth, why can't the grain be transported from the rear for a long time, and the sister-in-law has also gone back for five days, could it be that Chuzhou has changed? ”
Li Shanchang shook his head and said: "I hope this is not the case, if this is the case, then our army will inevitably miss this opportunity for expansion, if it cannot be connected with the area controlled by Zhang Shicheng, it will not be able to rush to help, although Zhang Shicheng is named Yigong, but he is not a person who cares about the world, if he has his own strength, he will not be able to fight against the Yuan army, so that I will be less help in the Central Plains Han world, this is my worry." ”
"Yes, I hope that the Shang brothers can return to Chuzhou as soon as possible with our documents, and urge the marshal to immediately transport grain and grass to the front line, otherwise they will be the sinners of our righteous army, and the day the deputy marshal Zuo returns, he will not spare their uncle and nephew. You are not an old man in our army, and your identity is special, you are the left deputy marshal to save your life, no one in the city will still dare to touch you, this time you just need to be like this, if the eldest lady is not mistaken, she must be put under house arrest by the two of them, otherwise she will rush back long ago two days away, why wait until today? ”
After Shang Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked and said, "It turns out that there is such a thing?" Although Zhu Yuanzhang can be regarded as the left deputy marshal in the army, he is nominally subject to the new marshal of the capital, that is, Guo Tianxu, the son of Guo Zixing, is also above Zhu Yuanzhang.
In the army, ninety percent of the generals are willing to obey Zhu Yuanzhang's orders, which is what Shang Yu does not understand, if the prestige is so high, why not directly take the position of marshal of the capital and replace him, but to put the two incompetent people in the highest position.
"Marshal Guo in the righteous army of the department, is the most benevolent and righteous people, this time he immortal, the left deputy marshal in order to avoid the misunderstanding in the army that he wants to steal the marshal's position, willing to be the leader in front of the general, and the marshal of the position to give the young marshal, this is also a helpless move, but I never thought that this is less than a month, Chuzhou will be in chaos, I think there is a person to use the young marshal and deputy marshal Zhang, you have to be more careful, try your best to complete the mission of urging the grain and grass to the front, and the rest of the matters must be handled together when the left deputy marshal returns." Li Shanchang said worriedly.
At this time, he could not leave Shiguan Town, more than 10,000 soldiers were accepted here, ready to set off to the south in the next step, and it is also extremely important to prepare to support Zhu Yuanzhang later, the army is impermanent, if the commander of the expedition is in danger, his staff must also have the ability to lead the army to help, so he does not dare to leave Shiguan Town at this time and return to Chuzhou.
Shang Yu's heart was a little turbulent, but after thinking for a while, he knew that there was indeed no one else around Li Shanchang who could be trusted and trustworthy, so he said helplessly: "Since Mr. commanded, Xiao Yu obeyed the order and tried his best to do what Mr. ordered." ”
Shang Yu is not half sure of this matter, this kind of thing involving power struggle is the first time he has experienced, this is much more complicated than the matter in Lu Mansion, there will be a bloody disaster, involved in this power vortex is not what he wants, but this time it will also be a real famous action of Shang Yu in the righteous army.
