Text Chapter 84 Tree Banner 2
It is said that water flows to a low place, and people go to a high place, Liu Zhengfeng is now a big leader after all, and there are many leaders and people under him, how to get closer in the future, Liu Zhengfeng is also thinking about it from time to time, but he was born to grow crops in the past, and he is not good at these facts, and he is almost confused about how to do things.
Today, Yu Zhilong came to tell everything, Liu Zhengfeng was still a little absent-minded, these trivial facts were boring, when Yu Zhilong interceded for Xie Lin and asked to stay and continue to use, Liu Zhengfeng still felt that it was a big fuss, and these trivial matters were arranged for Xie Lin to deal with, why should he be so concerned? If being an official is like this, then being an official is too boring! It's just that seeing Yu Zhilong's serious face, after detailing the priorities of everything, it makes sense to think about it, that is, I don't know how Yu Zhilong knew so many things at a young age?
As soon as they agreed to Yu Zhilong's advice, Liu Qi, Qin Zhanshan and other leaders over there rushed in and made themselves kings. Liu Zhengfeng was born in a villager, and now his biggest dream is to be a general, and to pass on the family to the next generation and glorify the family. As for the prince, the emperor of the throne, he just changed his mind.
Seeing that Liu Zhengfeng didn't seem to react, Liu Qi and Qin Zhanshan glanced at each other, but they were agitated vigorously. Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Liu Bang, Liu Bei, Liu Futong, Zhang Shicheng, Sesame Li, Guo Zixing and others are said recently.
Several people said that they were drunk, pointing fingers, saliva splashing, and even Yu Zhilong, who was sitting next to Liu Zhengfeng, fell a lot. Yu Zhilong was listening, feeling that what they said seemed to have some truth.
These examples can also be regarded as starting from recklessness, once Shuqi rebelled against the imperial court, it can create a lot of momentum in a short period of time, it is said that the current Zhang Shicheng since occupying Gaoyou and other places, known as hundreds of thousands of soldiers, has occupied many prefectures and counties, cut off the main artery of the canal, causing most of the capital to shake.
The armies of the Yuan court were transferred to Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces one after another, and even the Miao army and the Goryeo army were also transferred, so it can be said that the elite of the Mengyuan army north of the Yangtze River was basically attracted here. Regardless of victory or defeat, this is the opportunity for other rebel forces to take advantage of the opportunity to develop, and Yu Zhilong saw the current opportunity to vigorously advocate a foothold in Ludong, away from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, an area that was extremely sensitive to the Yuan court, and seek development.
Yu Zhilong originally wanted to seek the name of the Jing'an Army for his own part, but seeing that the leaders were so enthusiastic, he also echoed this proposal.
Liu Zhengfeng had shirked several times, but Liu Qi, Qin Zhanshan and others insisted that there was no other way. In fact, everyone wants to taste the scenery of being a general, only by letting Liu Zhengfeng have the title of king first, can he justifiably become a general, and then expand his team first, occupy the state and county, and be in charge of his own family is the reason.
These eight immortals crossed the sea, each showing their abilities, as for who can have the last laugh, it all depends on their own skills, and no one should blame anyone! Yu Shichang sat next to him, his chest was pounding with excitement in his heart, Liu Qi consulted with him last night, thinking that he could take the opportunity to fight one side in the future and take charge of an army alone, according to his own ability, how could he not be inferior to these people!
Of course, Yu Zhilong, this kid is now strong and strong, and he can't compare with him for a while, but everyone has their own hands to see the real chapter. Uncle Liu has always been good friends with his father, and as long as he takes care of him, there will always be more opportunities than others.
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Liu Zhengfeng slapped his hand, and the table slammed.
"Okay, just according to the words of the brothers! I, Liu, will be the king! ”
Liu Zhengfeng finally decided to be the king, and the generals were overjoyed when they sat down. But then Liu Zhengfeng told everyone a piece of military information, which really shocked everyone.
It turned out that in the early hours of this morning, the Yuan army suddenly crossed the river and attacked the local boats, burning and plundering hundreds of large and small boats.
There is a river in the east of Linqu County, which is called Qushui. Qushui is a section of the Mi River, the history of the Mi River has been renamed several times, the Zhou and Qin periods are called Gushui, the Western Han Dynasty is called Yangshui, the Eastern Han Dynasty is called Juyang Shui, the Three Kingdoms is called Juyang Shui, the Northern Song Dynasty is called Mishui, the Jin Dynasty is called Ershui (Linqu is called Qushui), and the Yuan Dynasty is changed back to Juyangshui.
The Mi River is composed of more than 100 large and small rivers, and the county has a basin area of more than 100 square kilometers. Its main stream originates in Tianqi Bay, Yishan, runs through Yidu from south to north, the river meanders, first flows to the west, turns to the north, and then turns to the northeast, with many twists and turns. Folklore says that "the Mi River has nine bends and eighteen bends", also known as "Linqu to the Nine Mountains, the Mi River crosses nine times", and finally flows into the Bohai Bay.
The topography of the high south and low disparity in the north makes the water level of the river drop larger, the water flow is turbulent, due to the twists and turns of the flow all the way, resulting in the disparity in the width of the river body, affected by precipitation, the seasonal change of the river water flow is great.
Linqu is mostly based on farming, but because of the river, there are still many households who make a living from fishing, so there are many large and small boats in the local area. Yu Zhilong had a plan to occupy the county seat, collect boats, and cross the river to attack, but he was busy with other miscellaneous matters in the past two days, and he did not plan this matter, as for Liu Zhengfeng and other other generals were even more indulged in the joy of seizing the city, and they were not on guard, so that the Yuan army crossed the river and attacked today.
Hearing about the military situation, Yu Zhilong was shocked. Unexpectedly, the Yuan army reacted so quickly and the assault was so decisive.
He has been busy with various things in the past few days, and he forgot to guard the river and collect boats for a while, and he did not remind Liu Zhengfeng and others, and now he has tasted the consequences! His own camp was stationed in the west of the city, and Yu Zhilong was completely unaware of it.
The river width is different from the east side of the county seat, the shortest distance of the river surface is dozens of steps, and the widest part is a hundred steps. The depth of the river is generally about one zhang, and it is completely impossible to wade the river on foot, even if the rainy season is now over, the water volume of the river has decreased, but the water depth is not below the height of one person.
Without boats, the eastward march plan to cross the river came to naught, Yu Zhilong was suddenly lost, and Qin Zhanshan, Liu Qi and others were also surprised.
Liu Zhengfeng was taken aback when he heard about it, and then asked about the movements of the Yuan army, and learned that it had withdrawn to the east bank and there was no sign of continuing to go deep into the vicinity of the county seat, so Liu Zhengfeng was relieved. According to his judgment, there must not be many Yuan soldiers and horses on the other bank, and it is estimated that they are mainly harassing and defending, and seeing that their vigilance and defense on the river bank are weak, they take the opportunity to come over and get a handful. Seeing that there was no more to lose, and the sky had already brightened, he simply suppressed this matter first, and only assigned some men and horses to strengthen the vigilance along the river.
The west side of Linqu City is a group of mountains, and the road is difficult to walk, and Liu Zhengfeng and Yu Zhilong are the roads they walked. To the east is Shushui, to the north is Yidu Jiancheng, and to the south is Juxian and Yizhou, which are also hills and mountains. Now the road to the east has been destroyed by the enemy, and there are only two roads in the north and south!
"This Tartar attacks at night, destroys the ship and leaves, which shows that the enemy is cowardly, isn't it a sign that our army is about to win a great victory!" Liu Qi's mind turned quickly, and he was the first to react.
"It's just that you can't cross the river, anyway, it's impossible for this boat to ferry all of our army quickly, this Yidu Tartar is coming soon, and it is only right for the big guy to cheer up and completely defeat the army of Yidu Tartar. Could it be that the Tartars are coming, and we will run away like before? Wan Jinhai said loudly.
"Since this Linqu City is already occupied by us, we will never give up easily! Although crossing the river and attacking is a way out, there is nothing wrong with it! It just so happens that everyone has no way back, and they are thinking about fighting the Tartars! Xiahouen continued.
Yu Shichang agreed: "Uncle Liu, the destruction of the ship by the Tartars can only show that he is afraid of us, otherwise, it should be his due intention to take advantage of the situation to sneak attack our army and achieve greater results." As long as our army strengthens pre-war drills, builds a strong army, and defeats the Tartars of Yidulai, everything is easy to say. If you don't win, what is the use of having a ship? Haven't you had enough of the days you used to run away all the way? ”
Liu Zhengfeng nodded slowly and sighed: "It's my negligence, the big guy has been happy these days, but I didn't expect the Tartar to have this plan." Brother Yu, it seems that the plan to cross the river and attack is not successful! ”
After Yu Zhilong was surprised and regretted, he finally relieved his mind, saw Liu Zhengfeng say to himself, stabilized his mind, and said: "These days are really as the big boss said, everyone can't help but slack off after being happy, fortunately, this strategy of crossing the river is just a way out for our army, the most important thing is to defeat the Tartar army in Yidu in the near future, as long as I win, how to act in the future, the initiative is not all in my hands!" ”
Liu Zhengfeng nodded and said briskly: "Yes, everyone has walked a lot in the wind and rain, why worry about some small things?" Since we have already established a flag and become the king just now, we will set up the king's flag today and show it to the world, we are here to be the people of the world! ”
Liu Qi, Qin Zhanshan, Wan Jinhai, Xia Houen, etc. applauded, coming to this point, although the victory is wide, the sea and the sky are wide, and the defeat is just a return to the past, anyway, everyone has enjoyed themselves these days, and there is no prosperity in this world!
Yu Zhilong asked about the movements of the Yuan army again, and his own scouts replied: The Yuan army retreated to the east bank after destroying the ship in the early hours of this morning, only to see that there were many Yuan troops stationed on the east bank, patrolling along the river, and the Yuan army on the opposite bank was estimated to be at least about 1,000 people.
"There can't be a thousand! It would be good to have five or six hundred people, otherwise, if a thousand army horses cross the river and sneak attack, our army is very likely to be defeated with one blow if it is not prepared! There is no need for the Yidu Tartars to come again. Wan Jinhai said immediately.
Everyone thought that if there were really a thousand Yuan troops, under the night attack, the various departments were likely to suffer heavy losses, even if they did not collapse, at least the losses were unimaginable, and even the city changed hands!
Yu Zhilong said: "The night attack of the Tartars crossing the river shows that the Tartars in Yidu City have begun to move, at least they have eliminated the possibility of our army crossing to the east, as long as our army wants to stick to Linqu, a war is inevitable in the future, so in the next few days, our army should seize the opportunity to train as soon as possible!" ”
"That's right, after the flag is planted today, all parties will inevitably respond, as long as this battle is won, why worry that there is no way out in the future! Therefore, military training is the most important thing today! Yu Shichang rarely agreed with Yu Zhilong.
"Most of the ships on both sides of the river are local, the Tartars destroy the boats, there must not be many ships left, even if the Tartars want to repeat the old tricks is a lot more difficult, if the expectations are not bad, the Tartars are still mainly to prevent our army from crossing the river, and it is unlikely that the Tartars on the east bank want to take the initiative to cross the river to attack me in the near future." Xia Houen smacked his lips and said.
After thinking about it, everyone agreed, and then there were many discussions, Liu Zhengfeng had already designated a mobile defense to be stationed on the river bank, and after strictly guarding the east bank, everyone no longer paid attention to the Yuan army in the east of the river.
Liu Zhengfeng took out the inscriptions and notices prepared by Zhilong one by one during the banquet and informed everyone. No one in the army will know this kind of mimetic ability, knowing that it was Xie Lin who did it, and Yu Zhilong polished it, everyone's faces were strange, and they didn't expect Yu Zhilong to have such a delicate mind.
