Chapter Twenty-Three: The Ruthless Minister

The army ran for three days, the Chinese army arrived in Bianzhou, settled in Junyi County, Prime Minister Zhang Guangfu, Xia Guanshang Shucen Changqian arrived one after another, urging Henan Province, Hedong Road all the way of military horses, a total of more than 100,000 people, surrounded Caizhou, the government treasury was opened, grain and grass carts and horses flowed in the road, Li Zhen's subordinate soldiers and horses were not more than 10,000 people, the offensive was very fierce when the incident first started, occupied Shangcai and other places, but with the march of the soldiers of the Fuchong Prefecture in various places, they soon fell into the defensive, divided the troops to hold the main road, strengthened the city defense, issued a message, inspired the strong men from all over the country to participate in the righteous act, and invited the kings of the Li family to rise up.

After Zhang Guangfu arrived, he conveyed the order of the Empress Wu, cut off Li Zhen's title, deprived him of his royal surname, changed his surname to Yu, and severely dealt with those who were thieves and rebels.

"Everyone, the anti-thief has become a trapped beast, and he is bound to do everything, in order to exterminate the thief as soon as possible, we can't stick to the small sections" Zhang Guangfu is fat and big, and his round face is full of anger, "Water attack and fire attack, it is a good strategy to be able to make contributions, if you can conquer a city defense, you will not hesitate to kill people"

Bianzhou Assassin Shi Di Renjie got up and arched his hand, "Zhang Xiangye, the lower officials think that the small people are ignorant and ignorant, and they are mostly coerced and coerced by anti-thieves.

"Hmph, the small people have nothing to do, repeatedly ungrateful, no thunderbolt means, cheer up with anger, defeat extravagant delusions with one blow, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no crowd to follow suit, and take risks" Zhang Guangfu said in a fierce voice, his small eyes swept over everyone's faces, and he paused on Quan Ce, "General Quan once had a Buddha verse, and he thought it was true, the Buddha has a Bodhisattva with low eyebrows, and there are also King Kong angry eyes, at this time, doing great evil things is a great good act for those who come after, there are few sufferers, and there are many people who have been favored, why not?" ”

Lu Chongyu and other military generals agreed, "What Xiang Ye said is extremely true" The fewer scruples in military action, the better, and the more people killed, the greater the credit for everyone.

Di Renjie's face was pale, and he looked at the beautiful man Shangshu Cen Changqian, who was like a powder on his face, and had three strands of long hair, but he saw that he closed his eyes and recuperated, and he didn't know where he went.

Zhang Guangfu nodded slightly, "Very good, generals, the prime minister is not good at military affairs, but it can be guaranteed that the military needs grain and grass, a grain of rice is not bad, attacking the city and pulling out the village, half the merit is not occupied, who is the first to attack Ruyang, who is the first to attack, how to march to break the enemy, please also express your opinions, choose the good one from it"

Zhang Guangfu's style was very popular, and the generals led by Lu Chongyu immediately became excited, and some people proposed to take advantage of the cold winter to freeze the Yellow River, advance along the ice road, bypass the checkpoint, and the troops approached the city of Ruyang.

"General Quan, why are you silent?" Zhang Guangfu listened, his eyes observed on everyone's faces, and when he saw Quan Ce here, his eyes froze, "This national event, don't have reservations."

"Xiangye misunderstood, the last general led a thousand Niu Wei, a full quota of one hundred and twenty-four people, hundreds of six people from the recruitment, the strength is thin, unable to drive long, willing to stay in the Chinese army, for Xiangye's wings" Quan Ce said respectfully, the generals laughed, his face remained unchanged, it was already reluctant to go this way, and it was just a matter of killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions.

"Hahaha, it's okay" Zhang Guangfu laughed loudly, "General Koji, I thought that I could march by taking the ice road with a partial division, and the main force would be assembled, and the combined forces would attack, taking advantage of the dispersion of the enemy's forces and advancing in one fell swoop, what do you think?" ”

Lu Chongyu got up, his armor was sonorous, "The last general will obey the order"

The rest of the generals no longer argued, and followed the order, Zhang Guangfu looked at Di Renjie and the many assassins in Henan Province, "Ladies and gentlemen, the partial division is mainly used to contain the troops, in order to ensure the main force, I will, mainly train the regiments assembled by you, how about it?" ”

Di Renjie and the other assassins looked at each other, the so-called regimental training, there were 3,000 people, but the farmers issued weapons, and it was okay to assist in the garrison, so that they could charge into battle, and they were simply sent to death, and they all expressed their opposition, and Di Renjie also objected, "Although the pedestrians on the ice road are not hindered, there are many soldiers, I am afraid they can't bear it"

Zhang Guangfu didn't listen, "The ice road march, there are records in ancient times, there is no need to dispute, the garrison has the right to defend the general Qianniu Wei, the prime minister set out from Chang'an, and the queen of heaven also gave a thousand Yulin guards to guard, why do you need to wait for the guard?" Besides, we represent the imperial court Tianwei, a rebellion in a corner, such as facing a great enemy, wouldn't it make people laugh off their big teeth, you don't need to say much, the regimental training is also a subordinate of the prime minister, and the prime minister will take care of it, if there is a bad pool, reinforcements will come soon."

Everyone was depressed, Di Renjie's eyes were black for a while, Zhang Guangfu's mouth was closed one by one, thousands of children, life and death were worried.

After Zhang Guangfu finished the distribution, he ordered Lu Chongyu to lead the whole army and immediately pull out the village and set off, and the military report was reported once a day and could not be delayed.

Quan Ce stayed in the rear camp, practiced endlessly every day, in the army, the ordnance gathered, the war horse Mo knife bow crossbow armor is countless, the Qianniu Wei of Quan Ce is close to the water building, the number is small, Qi Qi is equipped with a big Wan horse, long-handled Mo knife, three crossbows, armed to the teeth, in addition to the daily physical strength, queue training and horizontal knife training, plus Mo knife and riding and archery training, solemnly familiar with these two things, the coach up, full of freshness, re-clamoured the morale of the preparers because they could not go into battle to fight, Lu Jiong is now one of the two teams in reserve, a child of the family, picking up the Mo knife, screaming again and again, extremely arrogant.

After more than ten days of training, there was a lot of noise every day, and no one paid attention to the Chinese army, just thinking that these young master soldiers were frolicking indiscriminately, and no one took it seriously.

The main army marched smoothly, and the military reports were all close to a certain place, how many people were killed, the numbers were thrilling, and in just ten days, the killings and injuries had exceeded tens of thousands.

Before long, there was bad news from the front, the ice road army based on regimental training encountered the enemy, Li Gui, the son of Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and Fu Yanqing, the general, sprinkled fire oil and grease all over the river, and when the army arrived, the rockets on both sides of the bank rained down, and the ice surface was suddenly shrouded in flames, the fire was raging, the ice surface warmed up and cracked, 3,000 men and horses were burned to death, or drowned, and the whole army was annihilated, Zhang Guangfu did not have any rescue action.

Li Gui's morale was greatly boosted, he traced back along the river, killed Junyi County, and marched at great speed, and the soldiers had arrived in Qi County next door.

Everyone persuaded Zhang Guangfu to retreat and temporarily avoid the Chinese army, Zhang Guangfu was furious, "This prime minister is ordered to go on the expedition, on behalf of the queen of heaven, on behalf of the imperial court, how can I retreat lightly, I have two thousand feathers and thousands of cattle on the side, Li Gui Xiao'er two thousand rabble, and they came from afar, the end of the strong crossbow, what are you afraid of?" ”

Zhang Guangfu took care of himself calmly, the Chinese army was nervous, the messenger arrived three times a day, reported the movement of Li Gui's soldiers and horses, two thousand men and horses galloped all the way, and did not rest at all, the soldiers were divided into two roads, one south and one north, all the way the main force went along the vortex River, and hundreds of people went to the Bianhe Guangji Canal all the way, the number of troops was confusing, and after reading the map, everyone was shocked, this guy actually went all the way to the Grand Canal to transport the granary.

Cao Yun granary, the supply of materials in the eastern capital, the stakes are very important, there must be no room for loss, Zhang Guangfu panicked slightly, glanced at Quan Ce, and then looked at Yu Lin Lang General, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and ordered Yu Lin Lang General to rescue the granary, Qian Niuwei went to Guochang Town to block Li Gui's way.

Zhang Guangfu held Quan Ce's hands and solemnly promised, "General Quan, I know that I am embarrassed by you, just block it for one day, and reinforcements will come."

Quan Ce received the order, and his heart was stunned.
