Chapter 101: Carrying the Boat to Fight

On the issue of Sichuan, Fu Youde was full of cavalry characteristics.

Fast!

It only took a few days from entering Sichuan to taking Mianyang and Deyang.

Before Mingsheng and the others could come to their senses, the cavalry he led had already run in front of him.

Chengdu.

As long as Chengdu is taken, the day of the attack on Chongqing will not be too far away.

Fu Youde must have also thought of leading his soldiers and horses directly into Chongqing, the capital of the Xia Kingdom, so that he could get more credit and maximize profits.

But Fu Youde, who was fighting all the way, discovered a problem, Chengdu, a place where the enemy was heavily defended, was a difficult bone to gnaw, and he could attack it by himself.

This is still the case in Chengdu, let alone Chongqing.

It must be protected like an iron pass, and even a bird can't fly.

At this time, he needs to find someone to help him wade through this troubled water.

There is only one person who can help him in this part of Sichuan, and this person is Tang He, who was sent by the boss to carry out the mission.

And his comrades-in-arms Tang and his brothers are still nesting in the Three Gorges, and they are trading stones with the soldiers on the bridge and mountains every day.

He needs Yuwa's strength to assist in attack and defense.

How do I notify Tang He?

Fu Youde made a difficulty.

At that time, there were no phones or mobile phones between the two sides, they had no specific contact information, and they wanted to write a letter, but Mingsheng, the bastard, would definitely not convey it for himself.

Faced with this problem, Fu Youde, as General Yum, thought of a solution.

An almost magical solution.

I don't know what kind of environment you grew up in when you were young, I grew up in the countryside when I was a child, and there was a big steep slope in front of my house at that time, and the road surface of the steep slope was not like now, it was not hardened in any way, and it was far from being as smooth as it is now, it was all dirt roads, and the donkey cart was full of potholes and dust.

Every time it rains and doesn't go to school, especially when it rains heavily, a group of us little hairy children will do one thing together, that is, dig the river and build a dam, so that the rainwater gathers in the middle of the slope, and when the rain gathers almost, each of us will fold the paper boat separately and make a signature and put it in the water, and then open the gate to release the water to see who has the fastest boat.

Whoever makes it to the finish line first will be the winner of the day.

This is one of the only joyful props we had when we were kids.

Fu Youde should have played this kind of game when he was a child.

He took full advantage of Sichuan's geography by having his men make countless wooden signs, on which he had his soldiers engrave their location and when they were going to attack Chengdu.

When everything was ready, he threw all the wooden signs into the water.

There is also a question of water flow.

The water flows to the sea.

No matter which of the rivers in Sichuan branch off, they will eventually return to the sea downstream, which means that no matter where Fu Youde, who is located upstream, drops the wooden plaque, they will flow through the Three Gorges through Tanghe.

So he didn't need to worry about Tang He not seeing these wooden signs at all.

I have to say that Fu Youde is indeed a talent, and he makes good use of the characteristics of Sichuan rivers.

This approach of his is somewhat similar to what we do now.

The wooden sign is one of the simplest and most effective tools for him to convey his message.

It is a concise explanation of your motivation and time for action.

More importantly, this is not only a communication message to inform one's comrades, but also a powerful weapon to break down the enemy's psychological defense.

This is indeed a good approach.

Because soon his flyers worked.

The first to find the leaflet were the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom.

When they found out that the enemy had already attacked and taken Deyang and was preparing to attack Chengdu, it would definitely weaken their morale to a certain extent at first, and invisibly hit the fighting spirit of the Xia warriors.

More importantly, when Mingsheng learned that his old nest was about to be raided by Fu Youde, he hurriedly dispatched Dai Shou, the prime minister who was guarding the Three Gorges, and Wu Youren, the chief lieutenant, to redeploy and guard Chengdu.

The pressure on Qutang Pass has been greatly reduced.

The two generals will be transferred, and the direct beneficiary will definitely be Tang He.

Since accepting Boss Zhu's assignment, he led his soldiers and horses to Qutang Pass.

In order to implement Boss Zhu's determination to take Qutang Pass and his resolute and resolute political thoughts, Tang, as a good student, attacked Qutang Pass for three months, without any intention of escaping or retreating.

I don't know if you have found a problem, often good students generally do not easily provoke others, but this does not mean that their temper is good.

My personal conclusion is that this type of person is generally more sullen.

You can bully him however you want when they're happy.

But once they him off, they tend to do things that are completely unexpected.

And Tang is an outstanding representative of this kind of person.

At this time, he must have been angry in Qutangguan after being bullied for three months.

He led the troops out of the boss for three months, but he didn't do any, and he fought with the stone for three months, but he couldn't move forward.

This situation will not be happy in anyone's heart.

Just when Tang He was unhappy, he received a message from Fu Youde, who had been a good student for three months, and he was already scolding his mother at this moment.

At Qutang, he felt insulted.

An unprecedented insult.

Extremely humiliated in his heart, Tang He decided to change the original strategy of stunned.

He seems to have found inspiration in the creativity of Fu Youde's bamboo raft, and extended another set of ideas from the inspiration.

Tang He, who felt that the idea was feasible, decided to give up the opportunity to win Qutang Pass head-on.

Abandon the water route and storm it, and switch to the land route.

Didn't you Mingsheng not let me take the waterway, didn't there was a natural danger of Qutang Pass, didn't you build a bridge and let people throw this stone to block the road and prevent me from passing.

Okay, okay very!

If you don't let me go by water, then I'll go by land.

In order to carry forward the revolutionary spirit of hard work and simplicity of the working people, and to advocate the fine style of diligence and thrift, your ship will not be left to you bastards, and we will pack up and take it away with us.

I haven't really been to Sichuan, but I still remember the Wenchuan earthquake in 08, although I didn't witness many scenes at that time, but I really felt the topography of Sichuan.

I always thought that Sichuan, like its name, was a flat river, and it was difficult to find a mountain, but after the Wenchuan earthquake, I realized that I was wrong, and it was a big mistake.

Sichuan gave me another feeling.

Mountains, all mountains.

Except for the mountains, there is a ditch of water.

Beyond the landscape, there seemed to be a huge height difference of hundreds of meters between them.

When people stand on the top of the mountain and look down, they feel cold in their backs and numb in their scalps.

But this is the case, Tang He, the boss from Anhui, doesn't seem to care about these, he only cares about his belongings brought from his hometown.

No matter how winding the terrain is, no matter how tortuous the road, he holds on to one belief.

These belongings are hard-won, and how to bring them out, you have to bring them back.

Although the history books did not say Tang He's real background, I think Tang He should have been born as an accountant, at least the abacus must be very slippery, and when he was in his hometown, he should also be specialized in managing accounts and looking at the library.

There should be one word in the ideology: picking.

As long as it's to save money, I can't wait to pick out a little bit of oil from between my fingernails.

In order to completely break through Qutang Pass, Tang He made two preparations.

On the one hand, he asked Liao Yongzhong to lead a part of his troops and horses to feint to attack Qutang Pass, so as to attract the enemy's attention.

On the other hand, he ordered a part of the soldiers to climb the mountain with boats on their shoulders, crossed the Qutang Pass, ran to the rear of the Qutang Pass while the enemy was dazzled, and then took advantage of the enemy's complete unpreparedness to copy the enemy's rear road.

I really can't imagine what kind of scene this is, fighting the enemy head-on, and having to take out a posture of not taking you down today and swearing to be a person, pretending to be a desperate fighter, so as to attract the enemy's attention more advantageously.

On the side, it is not a good errand to let a group of people carry a boat to climb the mountain under the deepest drop of nearly 100 meters, and it is not a good job to make a living if they do not step on the right foot and roll down the mountain to the sky.

But it was this terrible, almost impossible difficulty that was overcome by Tang He.

He successfully carried the boat to the rear of Qutang Pass.

I have to admire Tang He's courage and boldness.

When the soldiers led by Tang He climbed the mountain with the boat and crossed the rear of Qutang Pass, he came to the upper reaches of Qutang Pass.

The next thing is obvious.

He had his soldiers throw the boat back into the river, and then ordered all the soldiers to get on board and launch a fierce attack on the defenders of Qutang Pass.

And the Xia army guarding Qutang Pass didn't know what was going on, and a group of enemies came to their rear to copy their back road, and Xia was defeated, and Qutang Pass was taken down.

With the breach of Qutang Pass, the most important line of defense in Chongqing disappeared.

Chongqing's sinking bottom was exposed in front of Tang He.

This is the real base of Xia Kingdom, and only when this place is broken can his errand be completely completed.

In order to take Chongqing, he and Liao Yongzhong's soldiers surrounded Chongqing in two ways.

At this time, as the monarch of the Xia State, Ming Sheng was first afraid in the face of this sudden enemy army, and he gathered all his ministers to his side to discuss countermeasures.

The advice given to him by the ministers was to run away.

Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy had not yet recovered from his senses, he fled to Chengdu and joined up with the soldiers and horses there.

But one person stepped forward, and she did not agree to run away.

She said: "It's already like this, even if we escape to Chengdu, but it's just a little bit of a breath, and it's useless." "[The situation is like this, even if you go to Chengdu, but you will prolong your life, what good! ] 】

It was Mingsheng's mother who expressed this opinion, that is, the wife of Mingsheng, the current empress dowager of the Xia Kingdom, Zheng.

After objecting, Zheng said his solution.

Her suggestion was to surrender, anyway, the defeat of Sichuan was already doomed, and we were left with desperate resistance except to disarm and surrender.

But I don't want to resist, because if you resist, you can die.

I don't want to die yet.

I am still young, and although I have been widowed for many years, I still want to continue to be a widow and be a faithful woman.

I don't want to break the city and be killed.

So I advocate surrender.

Since you have chosen to surrender, then I suggest surrendering here.

It's the same wherever you surrender anyway.

Instead of running to Chengdu in vain, it is better to surrender here, why did Fei Na run away, do you think that your wings will be hard if you run to Chengdu and surrender again.

No, it's all about buying and selling that people look down upon.

Since the result is the same, why should we go far!

I'm not leaving, I'm going to run, you guys are going to run.

I'm surrendering right here.

Regarding her mother's assertion, Mingsheng, as the boss, agreed with her opinion.

Yes, Sichuan is such a big place, and now there are enemies everywhere, where can I flee to!

He understood that even if he fled to Chengdu, it would not be of much use.

No matter where you flee, you will eventually be caught.

The result is all the same.

It's useless to carry another little dead shoulder, relying on your own waste subordinates to fight head-on with the Ming army, you will definitely not be able to kill them.

In the end, there is only one result.

Dead.

He was still young, and he didn't want to go to see his daddled father so early.

So he agreed with his mother's idea and sent an envoy to send a letter of surrender to Yuwa outside the city with a heavy gift.

At this time, Tang He, who had been stunned for three months and was now the victor, finally stood up, and he accepted Mingsheng's request.

He also ordered all the soldiers not to plunder their property and strictly observe military discipline, and then ordered the soldiers to enter the city.

The Battle of Chongqing ended here.

With the surrender of Mingsheng, the Xia regime was completely destroyed.
