Chapter 192: Divide the troops

"I will find a way to persuade Master Peng to respond to the Xuanwu Hall to rise together, but I also hope that Marshal Liu will abide by the agreement, if there is a real accident in my father, I will blame Wen Xuan's subordinates for being ruthless." After Wen Xuan finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"Brother Liu, take care." Han Lingyue also followed Wen Xuan.

Liu Futong sat down slowly and pondered for a long time, then called Han Yan'er in, "You go and call in all the altar masters and deacons we trust, I still have to arrange it." ”

After a while, a group of people sat around the Shuai Mansion, in addition to Han Yan'er, there were also Guan Duo, Pan Cheng, Li Wu, Cui De and others, the former masters of the Xuanwu Hall.

After everyone greeted him, Liu Futong got straight to the point and said: "Thanks to the trust of all brothers, I was promoted as the marshal of the righteous army. ”

Han Yan'er, Li Wu, and Cui De already had a close relationship with Liu Futong, but Guan Duo and Pan Cheng had only recently joined the gang, and at this moment, Guan and Pan glanced at each other, and in order to show their loyalty, they immediately responded: "Just listen to Marshal Liu's orders, and we will spare no effort." ”

The two of them are Han Shantong's confidants, and they are quite loyal, and they have contributed a lot in the first battle of Yingzhou, Liu Futong has long intended to win over, so he said with a smile: "Brother Han has mentioned the names of 'Mr. Guan' and 'Broken Head Pan' to me many times before his death, and Liu can be said to have admired him for a long time. ”

Previously, because of Liu Futong and Han Shantong's lifelong friendship, he always held the position of a deputy hall master, and the people in Xuanwu Hall also knew Liu Futong's ability, so they respected him very much.

Guan and Pan were overjoyed when they heard this, and stood up and said seriously: "Since Sect Master Han has been righteous, Marshal Liu should be the head of our group, what arrangements do you have, just as you command." ”

Liu Futong smiled on his face, but he was actually very happy in his heart, this is the time to employ people, and with two more right-hand men, the chance of success is a little greater.

So he said loudly: "Since the rebel army has become quite large-scale, we are no longer the Mingjiao disciples who lurked in the shadows at the beginning, and each of them has already led nearly a thousand men, and everyone needs to have a rule to act." ”

Han Yan'er agreed: "The righteous army is mostly ordinary people, and their actions are disorderly, and it is very difficult to govern, so we really have to think of a way." ”

Liu Futong nodded and said: "In my opinion, the righteous army can do its own thing as before, so that it can also be easily managed." ”

Then he looked at Han Yan'er and the other five people: "You are all the masters of the Xuanwu Hall, and from today onwards, you should shoulder the heavy burden and be promoted to the officers of the thousand households of my righteous army, and each of you will lead the righteous army under your command!" ”

Liu Futong's remarks were tantamount to handing over several armies to them for free jurisdiction, and a few people naturally readily agreed.

Liu Futong said loudly: "The capture of Yingzhou is just the beginning, after a few days of repair, you have to take the initiative immediately!" ”

"Marshal Liu's order is that we will do our best!"

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Liu Futong continued to order: Li Wu and Cui De led their troops to Wuyang and Ye counties in the northwest of Yingzhou; Guan Duo and Pan Cheng will go west, to Queshan and Zhenyang, the four of you must control the four county seats, manage them carefully, and when I send a message to you, I will immediately attack the city of Runing Mansion from the north and the east, and break it in one fell swoop! ”

"Yes!" Li Wu and the others immediately surrendered their orders.

"What about me?" Han Yan'er was also in a hurry to make meritorious contributions.

"You take people to the north, go to Shangcai to lurk, hide your identity and secretly win over the people, if the Yuan soldiers come to beg, you can echo with me and attack them head to tail!"

"Yes!"

Li Wu has always been loyal to Liu Futong, and when the assignment is completed, he is a little worried about the situation in Yingzhou, and can't help asking: "Marshal, but in this way, there are only less than 5,000 defenders left in Yingzhou City, if the Yuan Court sends troops to beg, what should you do?" ”

Liu Futong smiled and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I have my own plans." The five of you can do your own thing, no matter whether Yingzhou is in danger or not, you don't have to go back to help. ”

Seeing that Liu Futong was confident, several people thought that he must have a clever plan, so they put their minds at ease and took their orders to leave.

After the four of them led their men away, Han Yan'er, who was left, said worriedly: "Marshal, you have assigned us all, although it will expand a lot of territory in one fell swoop, but Li Wu's worries are not unreasonable......

Liu Futong stood up, walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said softly: "Don't worry, isn't there still Du Zundao in Yingshang County?" If I die, he knows the truth of cold lips and teeth, if Yingzhou suffers, he has no way to live, and the remaining problems will be solved by him. ”

"But this move is too dangerous, if he really dies and can't save ......"

"If he really dies and doesn't save him, then the real murderer who killed Brother Han is about to come out." After Liu Futong said that, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Han Yan'er beside him helped him.

"Go and rest, I haven't seen you sleep well these days, and if you continue like this, your body will be exhausted first."

Liu Futong opened his eyes with difficulty, opened his mouth, and before he could say anything, he fainted......

Wen Xuan and the others, who left the Shuai Mansion, did not hide their identities in the ranks anymore, but directly tried to find a way to go south after leaving the city.

Han Lingyue was a little worried about the situation in Henan, and subconsciously asked Wen Xuan, "Do you think Brother Liu can hold back Yuan Bing?" ”

"Since we choose to believe him, we can only believe to the end." Wen Xuan's voice also had a hint of helplessness, he didn't expect that he would be involved in this battle in the end.

"Looking at it now, whether it's to avenge the Lord of the Han Hall, or to rescue my father, we can't rush to the helm, let's go back to the helm first, let Brother Li and Brother Sheng lead people to help Henan, and then find a way to find the Lord Peng."

Han Lingyue nodded silently and quietly walked by Wen Xuan's side.

The news of the capture of Yingzhou by the Red Turban Army soon spread to Dadu, and after reading the petition submitted by Henan Province, he couldn't help but be furious, and immediately shouted to his subordinates: "Go and call Lao Zhang, the Privy Council, immediately!" ”

After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the old system of Song and Jin was followed, and a Privy Council was set up to be in charge of military affairs. However, his official position has been changed a lot, so far the dynasty is roughly as follows: the crown prince is in charge of the privy council, but there is no real power, the privy envoy has the knowledge of the Privy Council affairs as the actual highest power, the knowledge of the Privy Council affairs under the same knowledge of the Privy Council, and then there are the positions of the deputy privy council, the secretary of the privy council, and the court judge.

In the words of a word, he could send someone to call the affairs of the Privy Council, who was in charge of the military affairs of a country, to his mansion to discuss matters, which shows how deep his control over the Yuan court was.

The subordinates took the order and left, and half an hour later, the pot-bellied Lao Zhang came to the Tokhoff Mansion.

Although Lao Zhang was already the most important minister of the Yuan court, he still behaved cautiously in front of Toto, and only dared to enter the door after asking someone to report.
