Chapter 402, Dingfeng Wave 5
The peasant army moved very quickly, because there was no need to wait for any military orders, orders, or what they wanted to do. Lao Huihui decided that he would take the elite soldiers of his headquarters, about more than 30,000 people, to attack Fuyang, and He Yilong would take his own men and horses to attack Huaibei, after all, the idea of recruiting Fan Ju was thought up by the two of them, and it was not suitable to let others do it for him. γFengyun Reading Network. The remaining three battalions remained in the local area and were on standby in case of a sudden attack.
The two of them each led 30,000 elite soldiers and left murderously.
Feng Bao and Yang Xin never expected the peasant army to suddenly come over, these two cities are not big, there are not many people, there are only three or four thousand people under their hands, how can they be able to defeat tens of thousands of peasant troops, less than two days, the two cities were broken one after another, Feng Bao died on the spot, after Yang Xin was captured, let the peasant army under He Yilong tie him to the horse, and the five horses were divided and died.
On the morning of the fourth day, the two heads were sent to Huainan and placed on Fan Ju's desk. It was still Yang Qian who came to send the head, he asked for the order himself, and secretly thought that the last time he only sent a letter, he got a reward of one hundred taels of silver, and now he sent the head of Fan Ju's opponent, how can he say that he can get more than two hundred taels of silver.
Therefore, after he placed the box containing the human head in front of Fan Ju, he stood there waiting to receive the reward with a spring breeze on his face.
Fan Ju looked at the two heads in the box and smiled slightly: "Brother Yang, what you sent is really the heads of Feng Bao and Yang Xin?" There won't be a fake? β
Yang Qian arched his hand and said: "If you don't believe it, you can send someone to inquire, Fuyang and Huaibei have been broken by our righteous army one after another, and none of the important leaders in the city have missed the net, these two heads are indeed Feng Bao and Yang Xin." β
Fan Ju closed the box and nodded repeatedly: "Very good, very good." That's reassuring to me. Brother Yang, you have been here twice, and you have worked hard, I have to treat you well. β
Yang Qian smiled all over his face: "Wherever and wherever it is, it's all one family, and there is no need to talk about two families." β
Fan Ju gave Ziyi a look, Ziyi beckoned, and a few soldiers came in, Ziyi said: "Take him down and give him a reward." β
Yang Qian thanked him again and again, but as soon as he turned around, those pro-soldiers rushed to his eyes, grabbed his hands, grabbed his feet, pressed him to the ground, and tied him up. Yang Qian was shocked: "My lord, don't get me wrong, this head is indeed real." β
Fan Ju sneered: "I know it's true, that's why I reward you, reward you for being in a different place!" β
Yang Qian shouted: "My lord, what are you doing here......"
A pro-soldier raised his hand and punched him on the chin, this pro-soldier was wearing an iron gauntlet, Yang Qian's jaw was immediately shattered, and even a piece of his tongue was bitten, and his mouth was full of blood.
Ziyi said: "Don't leave even one of the thieves he brought." β
At this time, the outside of the tent had already moved, and Yang Qian brought eight people, none of whom ran away, and they were all tied up.
The soldiers dragged Yang Qian out of the tent, lined up with the nine people, and couldn't help but say, one person and one knife, and cut off the head.
Pity this greedy Yang Qian, he didn't catch the silver, but threw his head here.
After killing the people sent by the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo, Ziyi asked, "Sir, can you give an order?" Fan Ju said: "Immediately send people to hurry up and send a message to the guards from all over the country, telling them that if they don't come, Feng Bao and Yang Xin will be a lesson from the past." β
This is Fan Ju's true intention.
He didn't think about surrendering the peasant army at all, because Fan Ju knew very well in his heart that once the peasant army was surrendered, it would be another rebellion, and the court would inevitably hate himself to the bone, and among the five battalions of the revolutionary left, there was no such powerful person as Li Zicheng, there were many soldiers and the combat effectiveness was only second-rate.
At this point, he saw very clearly, what a smart person Fan Ju was, in his previous life, he was an ordinary doorman, and finally became the minister of Qin, how can his vision be comparable to ordinary people?
As early as the day before yesterday, Fan Ju had already drafted an edict and copied twenty or thirty copies, all of which had the same content. The gist of it was to tell the generals in Anhui that the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution had already known that Fan Ju had come to command the thieves, and they were very afraid, and when they heard that the generals did not follow the order to assemble, they were relieved, so they dispatched men and horses to attack the counties. Therefore, if they do not obey the order to assemble, the fifth battalion of the left will inevitably break them all.
This edict is very powerful, Fan Ju knows that those generals dare to disobey the order, that is, they don't take themselves as the governor in their eyes, but they can not take their own orders in their eyes, but they can't ignore their own lives. If they don't come to assemble, the fifth battalion of Gezuo will attack the door, and it will be like breaking Fuyang and Huaibei, and they will also be divided into five horses.
This move is very powerful, it can be regarded as killing people with a knife, borrowing the knife of the fifth battalion of the left and killing two Ming generals, which frightened the other Ming generals. In order to protect themselves, these people are bound to come to join forces.
Therefore, after killing Yang Qian and others, Fan Ju strictly ordered the camp to block the news, and at the same time sent dozens of messengers, with the edict, Pegasus out of the city, to deliver letters to various places.
However, he said that the fifth battalion of Ge Zuo, Lao Hui Hui and Ge Liyan took two cities, got a lot of money, and killed Feng Bao and Yang Xin, and was very happy, after returning to Su County, he handed over the head to Yang Qian and sent it to Fan Ju, and then started a feast with the leaders of each battalion, just waiting for Yang Qian's reply.
It stands to reason that if Fan Ju said something, then even if Yang Qian didn't come back, he would at least send a few people back to deliver the letter, but after these people went, they were like mud cows entering the sea and never looked back.
Five days passed, and no one returned. There was no news from Fan Ju, and Lao Huihui and Ge Liyan felt a little bad, so they hurriedly sent secret agents to Huainan to find out the news.
When these spies came back, another four days passed, Lao Huihui and the others were so anxious that they went to the house with evil fire, and their eyes were smoking, and when they saw the spies coming back, they immediately asked what was going on.
The spy knelt down and reported: "Everyone, it's not good, Fan Ju has no intention of surrendering at all, Yang Qian and a few brothers we sent have been cut off by him, and their bodies are thrown in the river." At the same time, Fan Ju once again ordered the garrisons in various places to immediately assemble in Huainan. This time, those generals were scared, afraid that we would hit the door like we did against Fuyang and Huaibei, so they led their troops to Huainan to join the division. When the villain returned, there were already seven people in the city, about seventy or eighty thousand people. It is said that there are more than a dozen groups of men and horses rushing to Huainan......"
Lao Hui jumped up angrily, kicked over the table, and scolded repeatedly: "What a treacherous Fan Ju, we have been fooled, we have been used as a gunman for him, he is using us to force those generals to listen to his orders." β
He Yilong hated: "Now he will give an order to let those people join the teacher, no one dares not to listen, even if he doesn't listen to Fan Ju, he is afraid that we will knock on the door, for the sake of his own life, this time the officials and troops in Anhui are bound to fight to the death with us." β
He Jindao: "What should we do now?" β
Liu Xiyao shouted: "It's better to take advantage of the fact that Fan Ju doesn't have many people and horses, let's attack Huainan, as long as Huainan is defeated, we can catch Fan Ju and kill this kid, we have hundreds of thousands of horses here, and I'm afraid that he won't succeed in tens of thousands." β
Lao Huihui is the leader of these people, and he has some strategies, and when he heard this, he shook his head lightly: "No, when Fan Ju was in the Qin army, he was a very powerful character, and I heard that there was that Ziyi by his side, and he was also a brave general." There are two of them in Huainan City, and there are seventy or eighty thousand horses, which cannot be captured in a short time, and the spies made it clear that there are more than a dozen teams of men and horses coming one after another, in case we attack Huainan, we can't attack it for a while, but we will be surrounded by officials and troops. Although we have 200,000 or 300,000 people, there are many family members of the army, and there are only 1120,000 who can really fight. β
He Jin said: "But if we don't do it, Fan Ju's men and horses will gather more and more, and it will be more difficult in the future." β
He Yilong sneered: "Even if you can't beat him, his surname Fan can't eat us." In my opinion, let's leave the surname Fan alone, go back to the Central Plains, and join forces with King Chuang. β
Lao Huihui immediately shook his head: "No, if we leave, Fan Ju will be proud, once his position is secure, Anhui will be even more difficult in the future." So you have to meet him up and down. Even if he can't eat Fan Ju, he has to beat him so terrified that he doesn't dare to come out. At that time, there was no need for us to kill him, the court would be able to kill him. β
When everyone heard this, they applauded, so Lao Huihui ordered the whole battalion to march to Huainan to find a place and have a big battle with the officers and troops led by Fan Ju.
300,000 horses moved when they heard the wind and slaughtered towards Huainan.
Besides, in Huainan City, Fan Ju was holding a banquet to entertain several generals who arrived. At this time, nearly 100,000 horses have been stationed in Huainan City and outside the city, and the momentum is huge, and the drums and horns are heard of each other.
The generals who were responsible for suppressing thieves in Anhui, although some looked down on Fan Ju, but as soon as they came, Fan Ju immediately opened the city gate and greeted them personally.
You must know that Fan Ju's identity at this time is the governor of Anhui and the official of Xinjiang, and they are just ordinary generals, and their grades are several levels worse. It turned out that these people thought that when Fan Ju's first order came, they didn't listen to the order, and this time they came to join the division because they were afraid of being broken by the peasant army, what kind of face could Fan Ju have? Therefore, when they came, they were all nervous.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, Fan Ju gave them a surprise, and the reception was very grand, which flattered these people, and some of them felt that Fan Ju was indeed extraordinary.
Ziyi distributed his men and horses and tightly surrounded Huainan City to prevent the fifth battalion of Gezuo from coming to attack.
