Chapter 118 Jinhua

As soon as Shi Kefa died, Liu Zongzhou succeeded him, and there were not too many ministers who died, but all of them had weight.

At this moment, the Ming army did not have a specific command core at all, and even they themselves did not know who they should listen to.

Shi Kefa is the highest official in Jiangnan, Liu Zongzhou is the spiritual leader of Shilin, as soon as these two people died, Hangzhou fell again, and such high-ranking officials as the governor and political envoy did not escape, although Zuo Guangxian was a patrol, it seemed that he was the most influential official in the prefectures and counties in southern Zhejiang.

But in such a situation, no one can come up with a specific strategy. It seems that I can only see the moves, and the thief will come to guard me.

As for how to keep it, they don't know anything else.

However, Zhu Dadian's Qiantang River strategy is the only strategy with high feasibility that Zuo Guangxian has heard.

Then he thought of another loophole.

That is, if the Qiantang River really opens a front, the key point in the west should be Yanzhou Mansion, not Jinhua. Because the Qiantang River is out of the mountains from Yanzhou Mansion, to defend Yanzhou Mansion is to guard the main road for the righteous army to bypass the Qiantang River, even if the thieves attack Yanzhou, Yanzhou is mountainous, it is better to defend than on the plains.

It's just that it's too late to say anything now.

It can only be said that Zhang Xuan came too quickly.

"With Master Zhu here, the official will be at ease." Zuo Guangxian said: "After this defeat of the thieves, I will definitely recommend Lord Zhu to the imperial court." ”

Zhu Dadian's eyes smiled slightly, and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

If Zhang Xuan knew what Zuo Guangxian was thinking at this moment, he would naturally scoff at it, the speed is always relative, it is not that the righteous army is too fast, but that the official army is too slow.

The current situation is very telling.

It was the end of November. There is only a shallow line left of the moon. It seems that there is someone out of the world who is fishing leisurely. It's just that because there is no success in the middle of the night, the hook is collected in the second half of the night.

And at this moment, all the torches were extinguished.

All the horses had a thin stick stuffed into their mouths, and the inside of their mouths was something like a walnut. Everyone led the horse, and even so, the movement along the way was not small. Quite a few people have discovered the whereabouts of the army.

Everyone who sees something that should not be seen has only one end, and that is death.

It was not Zhang Xuan who killed innocents indiscriminately, but on the battlefield, there were no innocents.

Even if Xu Jiaying led the way and bypassed most of the villages, there were several villages that could not be avoided, and Zhang Xuan left a hundred people to guard such villages. If nothing happens by dawn tomorrow, there is no need to say anything.

But there are accidents, and there is only one way to deal with it.

It's to kill.

Zhang Xuan gasped vigorously.

It's cold.

big

The army attacked Jinhua City from the bottom of the road, and all the way, it was not the Pingchuan Road, but mixed with mountain roads. If it was just a mountain road, Zhang Xuan would admit it. After all, he joined the righteous army in Sichuan, and the original Shu Dao was not unfinished.

But he still has to cross a Dongyang River, but Zhang Xuan has some unbearable endurance.

It's November, it's the 11th month of the lunar calendar, and it's already frosty.

The river is cold, but the temperature is extremely low, and there is no time to change your clothes during the march. The Dongyang River is not a big river, under the guidance of Xu Jiaying, the army waded across the river, and the depth of the water was almost between the chest and abdomen of the people, and the whole person was soaked.

Zhang Xuan in order to show that he shared weal and woe with the soldiers.

The first one went into the water, then stood on the east bank and watched the soldiers come out of the water.

Even so, there were a few soldiers who drowned in the Dongyang River.

The Dongyang River was already cold, Zhang Xuan was blown by the cold wind again, and a layer of white appeared on his clothes, nothing else, it was white frost, and the sleeves of his clothes became hard and crusted, almost frozen. Zhang Xuan couldn't feel any warmth at all.

Finally, after the army was over, Zhang Xuan drank a bowl of ginger soup.

This ginger soup is a little cold, but the effect of chilling is still there, which makes Zhang Xuan feel a little warm.

And at this moment, Zhang Xuan could already see Jinhua City from afar. asked Xu Jiaying and said, "There is no problem in the west of Jinhua City." ”

Xu Jia's attitude towards Zhang Xuan was very different.

Xu Jia dealt with Zhang Xuan before, and he could see it on the surface, but in fact, he secretly despised Zhang Xuan's reputation as a thief. At this moment, Xu Jia's attitude towards Zhang Xuan has changed too much, without him, he followed Xu Du to travel to Jiangnan and saw too many officials and soldiers.

Too many generals and soldiers are slaves. Even if there is only one family, you can drive the soldiers. And the difference in treatment is very different, and it is impossible to calculate at all. I have never seen a general like Zhang Xuan.

During the march, one person is in the lead, and when it comes to eating and drinking, he is personally behind.

These truths are actually very simple and clear, but there are not many people who can really do it.

Zhang Xuan was the first general Xu Jiaying saw to do so.

"General. No problem. Xu Jiaying said: "My son-in-law has inspected Xicheng in advance, and Xicheng is the weakest point in Jinhua City. Two hundred white-headed sergeants have been arranged in the city, and as long as the general raises fire outside the city, there will definitely be a response. ”

"That's good." Zhang Xuan said.

It's just that before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the darkness, and Zhang Xuan's color suddenly changed.

This distance is already very close to Jinhua City, otherwise Zhang Xuan would not let all the soldiers extinguish their torches, just for fear that Jinhua City will see the fire here. Although many soldiers were also dispatched, they were not allowed to gallop. After all, at night, such the sound of horses' hooves can be heard for miles

Far.

And there are people who do.

It can only mean one thing, either this person is not a member of the rebel army, or there is an emergency military situation. Either way, it's not good news for Zhang Xuan.

"Report to your lordship, the situation has changed." Qin Meng came over and said: "Our people saw that the lights in Xicheng were bright, and there were countless people up and down, who were rushing to work overnight. ”

When Zhang Xuan heard this, he immediately looked at Xu Jiaying, Xu Jiaying's face changed, and he said, "General, I --- this."

For a while, beads of sweat the size of soybeans came out of Xu Jiaying's forehead, but he didn't know how to explain it, or where to explain it.

"I know, it's none of your business." Zhang Xuan comforted him and said.

When Zhang Xuan heard the news, his first thought was that he was deceived. But then I thought that if it was really a trap, Xu Jiaying would definitely be dead. It's just that why doesn't he lead the army like the city, and catch turtles in another urn?

As for whether it is a calculation or not.

Zhang Xuan didn't think about it at all, without him, the more precise the plan, the more precise the need for precise cooperation, and in this era, it is impossible to complete too precise cooperation, and the combat plan of this era must have a great fault tolerance rate. And this plan of reversal and reversal is simply impossible to realize.

"General." Xu Jiaying was relieved when he heard Zhang Xuan explain him, he immediately thought of a way and said: "General, let's turn to the north gate, I will enter the city and arrange people to the north gate, and we will break the city from the north gate." ”

"Nope." Zhang Xuan said: "It's too late. ”、

From Xu Jiaying's entry into the city, and then in the city, it must take several hours to rearrange these ambushed people in place. And at this moment, Zhang Xuan looked at the east, a morning star was shining incomparably, and on a moonless night, he was the most shining among the stars.

And he is so bright, it also shows one thing, that is, the day is almost dawn.

Zhang Xuan said: "Qin Meng, how is the West Gate, is it tightly guarded. ”

Qin Meng said: "It is very tight, there is a row of antlers outside the city, and there are many bonfires, which illuminate the road for several miles. It seems that there are thousands of people working together, and there are wooden shelves on the city walls, and there are people in the city all the time transporting things. ”

"The gates are open." Zhang Xuan was taken aback and said.

"Yes." Qin Meng said.

Zhang Xuan sneered and said, "Zhu Dadian, it seems that he looks down on Zhang Pingzhi too much. Dare to open the city in the middle of the night. He turned his head, swept his gaze over all the generals, and said: "This is the case, giving up halfway is definitely not my style, I want to enter through the west gate, who is willing to kick the city for me." ”

"The last will go." The two voices said together.

Zhang Xuan looked over, but it was Qin Meng and a general he didn't know. It should be under the command of Yang Shenzu.
