After the war, the generals had different opinions on whether to attack immediately, and Yu Shichang insisted on delaying for a day or two, looking for a gap in the enemy, and breaking the enemy in one fell swoop.

Yu Zhilong believed that the various departments had suffered a great blow, and now they had more than enough to protect themselves, and the attack was insufficient, so it was better to postpone the repair and strive to complete the rest within 10 days.

Liu Qi and Qin Zhanshan believed that the losses were very huge, and they could not fight for twenty or thirty days. Everyone didn't realize that Liu Zhengfeng was also a contradiction, and in the end, seeing that the various departments were greatly damaged, they still made a decision to repair it for the time being, restore their combat strength as soon as possible, and watch the enemy's situation first.

After listening to Yu Zhilong's words, Liu Zhengfeng also felt that Yu Shichang was a little arrogant, but he couldn't swallow this breath, so he ordered: "The Tartars are so arrogant, they have to kill their arrogance, go to the camp to take fifty prisoners, take them to the riverbank, beat gongs and drums, and show the enemy to slaughter!" ”

Yu Zhilong thought for a while and said: "There are still more than a dozen Han army hundred households and more than a dozen Daru Huachi in the city who refuse to surrender, you might as well pick out these Daru Huachi first, and slaughter them all on the riverbank!" And told the other side that if there is another incident, we will lose one and kill ten, and we can accompany each other! ”

There are thousands of Han soldiers in the Yuan army, and all 10,000 households have the post of Daru Huachi, which is dedicated to the Monse, and the Yuan court thinks that it is the supervising army. Yu Zhilong suggested that these masked people be beheaded for public display in response to the provocation of the Yuan army on the other side.

It's funny to say that the soldiers of the Han army and the righteous army in the Yuan army often fought more effectively, but these Daru Huachi were weak, and when they saw that the general trend had gone, they had no hope of escaping, so they abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

Liu Zhengfeng pondered for a while and said, "It's okay, let's do it first!" As for crossing the river and attacking, it needs to be carefully considered. ”

Yu Zhilong said: "I am willing to go to all parts of the river bank to watch the enemy's movements, there are still some good scouts in the Jing'an army, and my subordinates will arrange for them to cross the river to explore the other party's reality." ”

The skeleton of the Jing'an Army was the main force of the scout team at the beginning, and its ability to detect and conceal was indeed higher than that of other units of the Shuntian Army. Hearing what Yu Zhilong said, Liu Zhengfeng smiled and said: "Then it's hard to fly the general!" These days the capital is moving frequently, and the movement is not small, but the garrison of the Yuan thieves is becoming more and more strict, and there are already a lot of spies in the army, so be careful. ”

"How dare the king of heaven command, a certain wish to do his best. The subordinates retired. Yu Zhilongshi bowed and left.

Yu Shichang saw his back go away, and couldn't help asking: "The Tartar is so arrogant, if you don't return its color, how can you calm the hearts of all departments?" ”

"I know that you are vengeful, but I don't know the truth of the Tartars, it is really not appropriate to act rashly, now the army urgently needs to replenish the non-commissioned soldiers, the formation and training of the army, these days General Fei is very diligent, we also have to hurry, in the troubled times to survive by their own military horses!"

Yu Shichang nodded and said, "I have issued a military order, and I started training yesterday. ”

"There is a saying in the former city that Yu Zhilong seems to have the leading position of the Shuntian Army, and Uncle Liu should be cautious." Yu Shichang nodded, hesitated for a moment when he remembered something.

Liu Zhengfeng's face turned blue immediately, waved his hand, and motioned for the guards around him to retreat.

The guards went out to cover the door of the hall, and Liu Zhengfeng said lightly: "This word is quite strange, I didn't have time to think about it before the war, and after the fact, people quietly investigated, but nothing came out." ”

Seeing Yu Shichang's puzzled face, Liu Zhengfeng continued: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and these rumors are always quite strange at this juncture." ”

"Uncle Liu thinks it's a divisive plan used by the Tartars?" Yu Shichang asked word by word.

"How can such a thing be judged?" Liu Zhengfeng sighed slightly, "I can be the head of the Shuntian Army, thanks to the strong support of Brother Hai, great kindness, and it is difficult for Liu to repay him for his broken bones." Shichang, you are the only son of Brother Yu, you can't make any mistakes, speaking of which, there are a lot of people in this city, if you fancy someone's daughter, Uncle Liu will call you the shots, and you will definitely marry in the scenery, and hurry up to leave a post for your father. ”

Yu Shichang's face flushed, and he twisted: "It's about the military, how can it be involved in the little nephew?" ”

Liu Zhengfeng laughed, took his hand, asked him to sit down, and then sat down himself, and muttered: "It's a pity that you also know the depth of our family, these leaders may not be completely convinced, and they will need more help from Shichang in the future!" ”

"Uncle Liu, we are a family, I didn't say it!"

"This Fei General is good at training soldiers and has many resourcefulness, and Shichang should learn from it."

Yu Zhilong's troops fought bravely and spared no expense, and his method of training troops also gained more attention from Liu Zhengfeng and others after the war. One of Liu Zhengfeng's subordinates is led by Yu Shichang, so he naturally hopes that his strength can be further improved.

"I was a little impatient when I gave the order just now, Shichang, you go to the river bank in person, and inform the other bank after the execution, I am willing to exchange the corpses of both sides and bury our soldiers." Liu Zhengfeng is also gradually winning the hearts of the army, although the scout's soldiers died in the hands of the enemy, but he took the initiative to express the intention of exchanging and buried him, I believe it will help enhance his prestige in the Shuntian army.

This is also the inspiration that Liu Zhengfeng got from Yu Zhilong's suggestion to return the corpses of the fallen soldiers of the Yuan army.

"No!" Yu Shichang rushed out of the door.

Looking at Yu Shichang's back, Liu Zhengfeng thought of Yu Zhilong, who had left not long ago, and said in his heart, he didn't care much about the truth or falsehood of the rumors, but how to limit the dominance of the Jing'an Army, how to improve his strength, and control all the departments of the Shuntian Army was what he was concerned about.

The situation of General Fei's family dominating should be contained. Liu Zhengfeng made up his mind to say secretly.

Yu Zhilong took Sun Xing and quickly rode out of the city to the riverside ferry, and did not dismount, but put his hand on the pergola and looked at the opposite side.

The water here is about 30 zhang wide, and there are clumps of reeds more than one person high growing on both sides of the river. At this time, it is late autumn, and the reeds are beginning to wither and yellow, swaying with the autumn wind. There are also sparse willows on both sides, and most of the yellow leaves have fallen away.

The surface of the river is sparkling, the water potential is soupy, in order to prevent the Yuan army from sneaking attack, several layers of horses, antlers and other things are piled up on the trestle and both sides.

A few days later, Yu Zhilong suddenly found that a number of wooden platforms were being built along the river, the high platforms were about four or five zhang high, and there was one every three hundred steps, and there were two or three Han soldiers standing on a built high platform looking at this side.

"When was this wooden platform erected?" Yu Zhilong inquired about a small sentry patrolling the river. The man saw that it was Yu Zhilong and others who came to check on horses, and recognized it as the well-known General Fei in the Shuntian Army, so he hurriedly ran over to salute, knelt down and said: "General Hui, this is the Tartar started to be built in the early morning this morning, the small one has been riding a horse along the river for more than ten miles, the Tartar is about every three hundred steps, and there are no less than forty of them built by the river!" ”

Yu Zhilong couldn't help frowning, with these high platforms, the opposite side can easily observe the movement here, especially the vigilance along the river has been greatly strengthened, and the difficulty of quietly floating over to explore while the night is much higher than before.

"General, the captured scouts of our army are hanging there by Tartars." The small whistle pointed to a stake path in the distance.

In fact, as soon as Yu Zhilong came over, he saw the four tall wooden stakes opposite, each with horizontal logs, on which an almost naked corpse was hung, slowly swaying in the autumn wind.

Yu Zhilong looked at it intently, every corpse was scarred, wearing only obscene pants on his body, and the blood stains on his body were vivid.

What's more, there is a big banner on the opposite bank, on which is written in red letters on a white background: "This anti-thief will be killed!" There was another banner with the names of the four men listed them one by one. One of them was clearly a veteran of the scouts.

The red letters were dazzlingly bright in the white sun, and looking at the red stain, it must have been written using the blood of the captured soldiers. There were also more than a dozen patrol soldiers of the Shuntian Army by the river and more than a dozen generals from the nearby camp who came out to watch, and looked at the other Yuan's soldiers with wild laughter.

The Han army on the opposite side saw Yu Zhilong and others galloping over, saw the little sentry kneeling and bowed back, knowing that it was the leader, so he simply pulled out his waist knife, pointed obliquely at the hanging person, and shouted and scolded: "That little thief, I didn't surrender early when I saw the grandfather of the official army!" No matter how stubborn it is, that's the end! ”

Another person laughed and scolded loudly: "If you are waiting for itchy skin, you might as well come over and wait for grandpa to relax your muscles and bones, and promise to let you wait for tea and dinner without thinking, kneeling on the ground day and night begging grandpa's subordinates to show mercy!" Boy, look at your thin skin and tender meat, if you are interested, you can wait comfortably, maybe you will be spared! ”

After speaking, several Han soldiers laughed loudly.

Sun Xing was furious, took off the bow and arrow next to the saddle, twisted the bow and arrow, and watched the wanton laughing man shoot with a swish.

This man had already seen it, and when he saw the arrows flying, he hurriedly ran two steps to get out of the way. The arrow shot into the air, and it hit the trunk behind it with a thud!

Several Han soldiers were even more wanton, pointing and pointing, and their mouths were full of filthy words. Hearing this, the Shuntian soldiers here couldn't help but scold him.

Yu Zhilong frowned slightly, the Han army on the opposite side was so flamboyant and provocative, and after the defeat of the Yidu army, it was a bit abnormal. Sun Xing couldn't stand the enemy's insult to Zhilong, so he shot arrows angrily and wanted to do it again, but Yu Zhilong stopped him, and these pawns were useless to kill.

"General, the last general pleads to cross the river and fight!" Sun Xing's face flushed and said hatefully.

Yu Zhilong shook his head and said disapprerovingly: "The other party is so provocative, I am afraid that he has other intentions, and write down this account today, and there will always be a return another day." ”

Looking at the flags on the opposite side, it seemed to have increased, and Yu Zhilong asked the small post patrolling the river: "What changes have the Han army on the other side?" ”

Xiao Sentinel said: "In the past two days after the war, there have been more flags, and there seem to be more than 100 households when spies come back to report the thieves, and the former has 10,000 households, and the surname Yin still patrols the opposite river bank from time to time. It is estimated that there are at least seven or eight hundred thieves on the other side. and on both sides of it not less than five or six hundred. ”

The lord on the other side of the river will be surnamed Yin, and he will go down to 10,000 households, which the scouts have long known.

Along the river, there are Liu Qi, Qin Zhanshan's large battalion, dozens of miles on the riverbank there are Shuntian soldiers patrolling day and night, there are more than a dozen fixed posts near the county seat, and there are soldiers to patrol back and forth. Before the war, the Yuan army on the opposite side only walked around and patrolled, and did not set up a fixed outpost, but now it is clearly to prevent the Shuntian army from crossing the river.

Yu Zhilong thought silently, there is a shortage of boats at the moment, the Yuan army has begun to increase the number of sentry posts, and the difficulty of crossing the river is getting bigger and bigger.

After a while, Yu Shichang came on horseback, and there were more than a dozen masked people with hair and braids and arms tied behind him, who were captured after the war. Yu Shichang raised the whip in his hand to Zhilong, which was regarded as a greeting. With a casual move, the frightened-looking captives were held high on the riverbank, and they were made to kneel and face the opposite bank.
