521, will the bandits be suppressed? (3)

Ninety thousand Song troops set up a position outside Yunzhou City, but they did not launch an attack for a long time, it turned out that although Gao Yu was eager to suppress the bandits, he was not completely carried away by a series of victories, because according to previous intelligence, the thieves are now in Yunzhou City in addition to the 30,000 Western Army There are at least 50,000 people, plus the Western Army has a total of 80,000 people, with the strength of the thieves before, they at least have the strength to start a decisive battle with themselves, but why are they not out of the city now?

So Gao Yu sent many scouts to reconnoiter near Yunzhou City, and half an hour later, the vanguard officer in front came to report, "The secret agent placed in Yunzhou City asks to see the Xuanfu Envoy." ”

Gao Yu was happy in his heart, he really came to what he needed, this secret agent is called Chen Biao, he has been lurking in Yunzhou City for half a year, and he has really sent a lot of valuable information to the imperial court, and his contact with Liu Zhengyan also relies on this person to deliver news, but this person has not moved in recent days, Gao Yu is still worried about whether he is exposed, but he didn't expect to appear again at a critical moment, just to know the details of Yunzhou City from this person,

Gao Yu immediately met with the secret agent, but saw that the secret agent was dirty as if he had just climbed up from a mud ditch, and there was a foul smell all over his body, and everyone hid their noses to avoid it, but this person's face was somehow full of excitement.

Gao Yu couldn't help frowning when he smelled the stench, but he still asked politely, "What's wrong with you?" What is the situation in Yunzhou? ”

Chen Biao respectfully bowed to Gao Yu and said excitedly, "The villain is nothing, it's just that the Liangshan thieves have blocked the whole city, and the villain endures the stench from the ...... in order to send a very important piece of information to the adult,"

Gao Yu's heart jumped when he heard the words "very important information", and he didn't want to listen to the rest of the words, looking at this person's appearance must be very disgusting, if he didn't listen, he immediately interrupted this person and asked urgently, "You have worked hard...... What intelligence?! ”

Chen Biao replied, "Yes! Just last night, the thieves were in turmoil, the original Runing County was under control, and now Hu Yanzhuo, the commander of the Fifth Army of the Thieves, suddenly led more than 20,000 people to forcibly rush out of Yunzhou City to the northeast, and the commander of the Fourth Army, Wang Jin, led the troops to pursue, and the two sides are said to have fought at the junction with Qizhou, each with casualties, and Wang Jin led the troops to return this morning! ”

Gao Yu was taken aback and asked anxiously, "How can this be?" The news is conclusive?! ”

The secret agent nodded his head like a rattle, and replied with an affirmative face, "Absolutely credible, this is what the villain told the villain by a thief commander who bought him with a lot of money to tell the villain, it turns out that these days the thief leader Zheng Linfeng secretly transported his family and a large number of boxes of things out of Yunzhou City, but somehow leaked the news, and it was rumored in the market and in the thief army that the thief leader Zheng Linfeng was preparing a retreat for himself, and what he secretly transferred away was the huge wealth that the thief looted from all over the east and west roads of Beijing!" This incident caused panic among the thieves and the army. ”

"Just yesterday at noon, the thief leader Zheng Linfeng held a meeting, at which he proposed for the first time the intention of surrendering to the imperial court, saying that everyone would not raise troops with him for glory and wealth? Now that the imperial army is pressing, we have even lost Puzhou and other places, and Yunzhou is also in danger. So in order for everyone to live, he is willing to ask the court for recruitment, and everyone will still be officials in the future, and those who should be rich will be rich. ”

But as soon as he said this, the thieves were divided into two factions, one supported surrendering to the imperial court and asked for peace. The other faction resolutely opposed Zhao'an, and this faction was dominated by Hu Yanzhuo and other former imperial court generals. The two sides quarreled at the meeting, and while talking, someone said that the thief leader Zheng Linfeng secretly transferred his family and wealth, and Hu Yanzhuo and others asked Zheng Linfeng if he had planned to sell them a long time ago? Zheng Linfeng was furious and wanted to punish Hu Yanzhuo, Hu Yanzhuo led his subordinates to seize the door, and it didn't take long for him to lead his subordinates to kill Yunzhou City! Zheng Linfeng, the leader of the thieves, was furious, feeling that his subordinates were not trustworthy, and he captured several generals in a row. ”

But the villain didn't dare to believe it, and went to quietly find General Liu Zhengyan of the Western Army, and he also confirmed the matter to the villain. Immediately afterwards, the Lord led the army to break through Liangshanbo and burned the news of the top of Liangshan Mountain, and the city of Yunzhou was in chaos, and the army of thieves who still remained in Yunzhou City began to appear in batches of deserters, and a large number of minions took off their uniforms and hid and did not want to serve the thieves anymore. General Liu and the villain knew the importance of this news, so General Liu helped to hide the villain in the ......, and the villain was able to escape from Yunzhou City to report to the adults! ”

Gao Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he felt a wave of ecstasy surging up in his heart, and understood, no wonder the thieves and turtles were shrinking into the city, it turned out to be like this! It's not surprising that Hu Yanzhuo refused to surrender, he is different from others, others recruit An, he is a traitor, and whether a traitor can be recruited is still a question. Even if he can be recruited, he was the deputy commander of the bandit army recommended by the official at the beginning, and he was also the cousin of the official he killed, and now when he sees that it is the official who led the army to suppress the bandits, he must understand that no matter what, there will be no good fruit to eat in the hands of the official, so he naturally refuses to surrender.

Ok, good, good! Now that there is chaos within the thieves, and the 20,000 people who have lost Hu Yanzhuo, there are at most 30,000 thieves in Yunzhou City, but they are all demoralized. The official's 90,000 army plus the 30,000 people of the Western Army, a total of 120,000 people, is it not easy to destroy these 30,000 thief army?

Zheng Linfeng, the leader of the thieves, wants to surrender? Hum! You, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and other dog thieves hurt my child and my brother, and this official can't wait to crush your bones and ashes, how can he accept your surrender?! As for Zhao'an, don't be delusional!

The left and right were also congratulatory to Gao Yu, Gao Yu was even more proud, and then rewarded Chen Biao.

Not long after, the pioneer officer came to report again, saying that a person came out of Yunzhou City, and came to the army to say that he had a letter from the thief leader Zheng Linfeng asking to see the adult.

Gao Yu snorted coldly, he had already guessed the other party's purpose, he just wanted to order to catch this person and behead the public, but his heart moved, and secretly said that Zheng Linfeng didn't transfer a large amount of wealth? So where did he move to? Well...... Although you don't have to care about this person's surrender, you still have to figure out where this wealth is!

Gao Yu thought about it and ordered someone to bring the messenger thief in, but soon saw a person with a frightened face and a trembling Xiucai dressed up being framed by two sergeants, this person knelt on the ground and shouted loudly when he saw Gao Yu, he was not a Liangshan thief, Liangshan thief Kou caught his family, and asked him to send a letter to the adults, if he didn't send it, the thief would kill his whole family!

Gao Yu was stunned, isn't it a thief? Then I heard Chen Biao next to him exclaim, "Shen Xiucai, is it you?!" ”

The man looked up and saw that it was Chen Biao, who was stunned for a moment and then said happily, "Brother Chen, it's you...... Prove it to the villain! ”

Chen Biao immediately said to Gao Yu, "My lord, this person is indeed not a thief, but a teacher in Yunzhou City. ”

Gao Yu nodded, so it was, and then stretched out his hand, "What about the thief's letter?" ”

Shen Xiucai immediately trembled and took out a letter from his arms, the sergeant took it and handed it to Gao Yu, Gao Yu unfolded it, but after seeing it, he sneered and threw the letter on the table, and then waved his hand to the left and right, and suddenly, Chen Biao and the others retreated, Gao Yu said to Shen Xiucai, "When you go back, you will say that the official has something to pass on to that Zheng Linfeng." ”

Shen Xiucai hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, please speak, the villain must pass on the words word for word." ”

Gao Yu smiled coldly and said, "Tell him that if he wants to surrender, 50 million guan should be prepared for the official, otherwise, in half an hour, the official will attack the city!" ”

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Shen Xiucai had already left, Gao Yu came outside and looked at Yunzhou City in the distance, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth,

Your money, the official wants. Your life...... I don't plan to stay!
