Now that the wings of the butterfly are flapping, the Chuzhou army has grown up, and it has far surpassed the Bozhou army of the third apprentice.

History has changed.

There is no news from Tu Tiedan, Shui Jin has already set the daughter of the Huo family as his wife, and has broken off the relationship with the Xie family.

Now the Chuzhou army that Xie Er voted for is not the Bozhou army, and there is no chance to give the eldest daughter to Tu Tiedan.

Hey?

The reason why he descended first and then rebelled seems to be because of the marriage of his two daughters.

It seems that he was dissatisfied with being directly married by Taizu, and thought that being insulted was not the treatment of soldiers, but the treatment of prisoners.

There won't be this paragraph now, so will there be a rebellion next?

Is this a father's heart? Or is it an excuse?

"The Xie family hides the sailors of the ship, and my cousin will let it go?"

Huo Bao Dao.

Zhu Duwei said: "At the moment, it is the most important thing to fight Suzhou, and thousands of water bandits can still make trouble?" This Xie Er, who claims to be a smart person, is actually a big fool. If he surrenders honestly, with the examples of Yu and An, who can wronged his family? What good end can such a person who violates yin and yang and has two sides and three swords? ”

Huo Bao nodded.

To say that the Chuzhou army has a drawback at the moment, it is nothing more than that the water pawns are in the hands of the two families, and the power is too concentrated.

If this Xie Er is truly obedient, it will be a good time for the water pawn to divide power.

Even if this Xie Er is later, Huo Wu will help him up, not to mention the two families of Tai and An, and he will also divide the military power into three points, making the structure of the Chuzhou Water Division more stable.

Marshal Yu and An Yong also knew the disadvantages of the water pawns, so they would take the initiative to help the Chuzhou army subdue the Taihu Lake bandits.

Who would have thought that Xie Er would be coming, and he would still make these little cleverness, how can such a person be used......

In the partial hall of the mansion, Deng Jian sat in the main seat, seeing Xie Er.

Xie Er's white face, in his forties, with an elegant atmosphere, does not look like a lake bandit, but like a gentleman of the peace.

Deng Jianjian is cloth armor on the top, and behind him is a black iron hammer, sitting on the main seat, murderous, like a door god.

Before Xie Er saw the real person, he still had a lot of slander in his heart, feeling that this Marshal Deng, who was born as a headhunter, only became the No. 2 person in the Chuzhou Army by taking advantage of his in-laws.

The so-called outstanding military achievements, "King Deng Yan" or something, are mostly exaggerated.

The so-called white-shirted army was originally a rabble, but it was only when the world was chaotic that they took advantage of it and grabbed territory all the way.

After seeing the real person, Xie Er gasped.

How many people do you have to kill such a sinister character?

is the most ruthless bandit in Taihu Lake, and there is no evil spirit that Deng Jian can't hide.

No wonder they were able to overpower the horse village master, Du Laoba and others, who were born as mountain bandits, and became the head of the marshals of the Chuzhou army, which is a killing god.

His face was more respectful.

Deng Jian was not a person of many words, and agreeing to see Xie Er was also because of An Yong's face.

With tens of thousands of sailors and seven boats, Deng Jian really didn't take the bandits of Taihu Lake in his eyes.

The return of these people to the Chuzhou Army is the icing on the cake; If you don't return to obedience, you won't be a problem for your henchmen, but it's just a matter of cleaning up early and late.

So Deng Jian saw Xie Er, said a few words and sent off the guests with tea.

Xie Er was stunned, An Yong had already gotten up and said goodbye first, and then brought someone out.

Xie Er was not happy in his heart, and he brought a few points out of his face.

An Yong explained in a low voice: "Tomorrow, the army will be launched, and Deng Shuai is busy with military affairs. ”

Xie Er was surprised: "The army will start tomorrow, won't you rest in Changzhou?" ”

An Yong said: "Isn't it already two days off? ”

If it weren't for Huo Bao's partial army to come and gather, he would have been pulled out.

It's just that there is no need to say these words to Xie Er.

An Yong is both civil and military, not a reckless general, so he can see that Xie Er has a small plan, and everyone is not a person all the way.

Xie Er's eyes flickered, and he was horrified in his heart.

How many people did the Chuzhou army come?

Only two days off to lay down a place?

What does this mean?

It means that the main force has not moved and there is no need to rest.

Thinking of his back hand and small abacus, Xie Er was inexplicably a little weak-hearted.

……

In addition to Huo Bao's people and horses to converge in Fucheng, Jin Cuo's people and horses also turned back to Fucheng.

When fighting Changzhou, the Chuzhou army was divided; When it comes to fighting Suzhou, it is a joint army.

Deng Jian's men and horses were 45,000 (2,000 stayed in Wuxi, 3,000 stayed in Changzhou Mansion), Huo Bao's men and horses were 16,000 (2,000 stayed in Jinling, 2,000 stayed in Yixing), and 40,000 people in Chuzhou, a total of more than 100,000 people, known as 200,000 troops, surrounded Suzhou Fucheng by water and land.

The newly invested Taihu Lake Sailor followed behind the Chuzhou Sailor, as if he was playing at home. Whether it is a ship or a general's sailors, they are a little out of their hands.

Xie Er saw it in his eyes, he was envious and jealous of the Chuzhou sailor, and he followed the old marshal around, and he was very close to him.

Old Marshal Yu had already heard his son-in-law comment on Xie Er, and he knew it in his heart, and now that he was polite, he was not flattered and confused.

He is looking forward to the merger of another general of the water division, and the provincial water division has been in charge of the two families for a long time, and it cannot be someone like Xie Er who can share power with them.

Such a person, there are too many calculations, if he really wants him to enter the water division, what he wants is not to divide power, but to suppress the Yu and An families, and hold the Chuzhou water division in his hands, isn't this a fool's dream?

Marshal Yu can see that Huo Wu's employment is really decentralized, but there is also a scale.

Whether it is a fierce general like Deng Jian, a henchman like Shui Jin, or a guest general like Monk Feng, they can be impartial, but they don't let either side sit big.

On the side of the Chuzhou Sailor, it is nominally the Yu and An families, but everyone knows that the two in-laws are like a family.

The best way is for Huo Wu to directly refer to the people as the generals of the water division, become a force on one side, and balance the two families of Yu and An.

But Huo Wu didn't refer to anyone.

Marshal Yu took his grandson-in-law Huo Lei with him to train him, but Huo Lei's qualifications were limited and he couldn't take charge of himself.

But the Taihu Lake bandits are not good, and the Suzhou sailors are also demoted generals, and it is not easy to promote.

"Xie Er can't do it, see if his subordinates can use it, lift it up."

The old marshal Yu privately confessed to his son-in-law An Yongdao.

An Yong thought about it and understood the old father-in-law's intentions.

Xie Er is not available, but the Taihu Lake bandits, a group of water pawns, can be trained well.

At present, it is the time to make military merits, and it is a stroke of genius to raise a person from Xie Shuang.

It's just that the big one in the short man can't be much stronger if he thinks about it, otherwise he won't let Xie Er be the leader.

"Dad, Pang Liang and Bu Jianke are still locked up in Jinling, and I see that Taiwei should also want to use these two people." An Yong thought for a moment.

Pang Liang is the commander of the Jinling Navy, Bu Jian is the commander of the Yangzhou Navy, and the two are cousins.

In September last year, the Chuzhou army won the Chaohu Water Division, crossed the river through the Taiping Mansion, and then fought with the Jinling Water Division, capturing Pang Liang, the commander of the Water Division.

Subsequently, Huo Wu had someone send a letter to Yangzhou Sailor Du Tong Bujian, mentioning Pang Liang's matter.

When Deng Jian attacked Yangzhou, Bu Jian had scruples and did not go all out to resist the enemy, so that the Chuzhou army quickly captured Yangzhou.

It's just that these two cousins, and the Fanguo Mansion in the capital behind them, even if they were captured one after another, they did not surrender to the Chuzhou army. Otherwise, it will affect the relatives in the capital, and it will be the consequence of raiding the family and exterminating the family.

Huo Wuaicai also knew the truth of human feelings, and did not force the two to surrender, but only locked up.

When the imperial court really falls apart, it will be the time for these two to be activated.

Old Marshal Yu nodded and said, "At that time, I was like this, but I am afraid that it will have to wait until three or five years later." ”

Weng and his son-in-law glanced at each other, both with a little helplessness.

is also the nephew of Huo Taiwei, Huo Hu has grown into a fierce general, Huo Bao is also in charge and holds the firearms battalion, but Huo Lei is ...... The qualifications are really ordinary, otherwise why would they think about taking advantage of the attack on Suzhou to promote the Taihu Lake general, instead of Huo Lei, the younger generation of his in-laws.

"If you want to promote a stone, you can't even mix it with a thousand households."

Old Marshal Yu sighed.

At the Chuzhou Military Academy last year, Huo Lei was not even qualified to participate in the selection because he was only a song leader.

That batch of military cadets is a thousand households and above to participate in the selection.

An Yong nodded and said, "Qianhu should be fine." ”

As for the acting deputy general and deputy general, it depends on the chance.

The Chuzhou Army's military merit rewards are very transparent, even if you want to promote your own people, you can't look too ugly, otherwise the supervision side will come down to investigate.
