Chapter 171: Chaohu Lake, Chaohu Lake (Middle)

"Chuzhou Huo Dong? He actually came in person! ”

Ming Gongzi took the reply post, looked at the signature on it, and said with a little contempt: "I heard that this person was born as a butcher and robbed his brother-in-law's territory to occupy Chuzhou...... But he didn't dare to stand on his own, and he was still under Marshal Liu......"

The prefect of Luzhou was speechless.

What happened to the butcher's origin?

Did he forget that his uncle was just a cloth seller?

"There are a lot of white-shirted soldiers in Chuzhou, and I am afraid that they are also aiming at the Chaohu Naval Army......" Luzhou prefect said.

"Humph! They have the guts, and they have to see if they can swallow it! My uncle laid out Luzhou, how much effort did it take, where is their turn to pick up this cheap? ”

“……”

The prefect of Luzhou only smiled bitterly.

The so-called layout is these poisoning and coercion?

Was Lao Dutong also co-opted by them before his death, and refused to nod his head, so he was poisoned?

The children of Citang were all plundered to Qichun, and the prefect of Luzhou hated Shou Tianwan to death in his heart, but he could only help to abuse him.

If you really want to give him a chance to choose, Shou Tianwan, who is thousands of miles away to conspire and tactics, and the Chuzhou army, which is a hundred miles away from Chaohu Lake and a state away, he would rather choose the Chuzhou army.

Ming Gongzi believed in Sheng Shuangdao's ability, but the Luzhou prefect did not believe it.

If Sheng Shuangdao really had the ability to dominate Chaohu Water Village, he would not have been pressed on the head by the Yu family father and son all these years.

Now Chaohu is under martial law, and there is no communication between inside and outside, which is really anxious.

"Ask me to cross the river, then give him a face! I want to hear what they want to do on the edge of Chen Bingchao Lake at this time? If you don't explain it to me clearly, I will ask my uncle to send another army and horses north to Huainan, and there will be a miasma here in the province......"

The North and the South are cut off.

The Daqing army did not know that the little sect leader had been proclaimed emperor in Bozhou, but he only knew that in Huanghuai and Huanghuai, many marshals burned incense and started trouble.

Compared with the Daqing Army, these are peasant soldiers, and they really have no weight.

"If Huo Dong leaves his son......

The prefect of Luzhou was not so optimistic.

Whether it's the so-called sect leader or the Dharma protector, this is the right thing, and if people don't take it seriously, it's nothing.

Ming Gongzi sneered: "That's not right, just to give my uncle an excuse to attack Huainan Road!" ”

“……”

"If Gongzi is not there, then General Anqing on the ship?"

"The first said that it would block Chaohu Lake for seven days, give Sheng Shuangdao time to let him plan, today is the fifth day...... Wait and see, if it really can't work, I will go to Chaohu Lake in person and meet the old man and the An family brothers......"

Ming Gongzi is very ashamed.

He was also impatient to wait, and the envoy sent to Chaohu did not return, and he did not know the reaction of Yu and An.

The prefect of Luzhou was very helpless, and could only pray that the commander of the Chuzhou army could really be bluffed by Ming Gongzi.

It's better to be able to negotiate with each other.

Otherwise, the situation in Chaohu Lake is still unknown.

As a parent official in Luzhou, he also did not want Luzhou's children to kill each other.

……

In order to show his identity, Ming Gongzi asked someone to send a message to the general of the naval army of Lou Chuan, asking him to dock on the west side of the Yuxi River the next day and drive him to Chao County.

The general of the navy did not dare to offend this "imperial nephew", so he stopped on the west side of the Yuxi River that night.

……

Nothing was said all night.

Huo Wu's reply was made at the beginning of noon.

Ming Gongzi refused to go early, and after Sizheng, he brought a hundred guards on board.

The prefect of Luzhou personally sent it to the side of the boat and advised: "Marshal Huo is a local marshal, please be polite to Ming Gongzi......"

Ming Gongzi waved his hand impatiently and said, "Don't worry, I know what 'Corporal Lixian' is......"

“……”

The prefect of Luzhou was speechless again.

Corporal Lixian?

It's also good to score up and down.

This is Luzhou, not Qichun, the Chuzhou Army and Ming Gongzi are both dragons crossing the river.

Compared with Ming Gongzi, whose roots are thousands of miles away, the Chuzhou army, whose nest is near the left, is more confident.

Seeing the boat drifting away and disappearing into the mist, the Luzhou prefect also had a shadow in his heart.

Can the so-called Daqing Army, which divides grain and land, really go long-term?

The distribution of grain and land can win the support of the poor people, but it offends the gentry class.

Why did the industry that I had worked so hard to save for several lifetimes be dissipated in one fell swoop?

Daqing also made it clear that the chariot and horse founded the country and called the emperor, so ruthlessly gave the court a resounding slap in the face, no matter how all parties in the court are fighting for power and profit now, Daqing will not be allowed to be there.

Qi Chun, I'm afraid it's dangerous.

……

On the east bank of the Yuxi River, Hou Xiaoming brought a thousand child soldiers to wait here.

He was ordered by Huo Wu to take two thousand child soldiers to stay in Chao County.

Right now, I was also instructed by Huo Wu to come over to greet the "distinguished guests".

As for Huo Wu, according to the original plan, he took people to the mouth of the Yuxi River last night and crossed the river in the early morning, and he was already on the east bank.

Looking at the boat slowly approaching, Hou Xiaoming swallowed his saliva.

It doesn't matter whose ship it is, the important thing is that it will be the ship of the Chuzhou Army from tomorrow!

Hou Xiaoming remembers clearly that during the Battle of Dingyuan, Bao Ye said several times, "There are no guns, no cannons, the enemy made it for us."

This principle applies to all battlefield captures.

Ming Gongzi looked at the soldiers on both sides of the shore, looking very respectful, and nodded slightly.

This Huo butcher is quite polite.

But when he got off the dock, he saw a young man greeting him, and his face drooped suddenly.

Huo Dong ...... Where is the general? ”

Ming Gongzi was a little hesitant.

Hou Xiaoming frowned, bowed down and said: "The sailor is on the shore under the command of the sailor, and he is on the side of the yamen, and the fifth master is coming down to pick up the distinguished guests!" ”

Ming Gongzi listened and was interested.

There are four fathers and sons of the Yu family, known as "Yu Commander", and there is only one person, Yu Jia's son Yu Dahai.

Yu Dahai knew that he was coming, so he came to wait?

It's also interesting.

He is Sheng Shuangdao's brother-in-law, so he should be persuaded by Sheng Shuangdao.

Ming Gongzi looked at Hou Xiaoming twice, a dry young man, fifteen or six years old, most of them were the descendants of Huo Wu.

Let such a person pick him up, barely get by.

He didn't pick any more, took a hundred guards, and was surrounded by people to go to the county government of Chaoxian County.

When he arrived at the gate of the county office, he didn't see Huo Wu, Yu Dahai and others coming out, and Ming Gongzi was angry.

What do you mean?

Is this being underestimated?

With a sneer on his face, he strode into the county office.

A hundred guards tried to go in with them, but were stopped.

A thousand is around a hundred, and there is no suspense.

The archers were already on standby.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Huh? There are arrows! ”

"Trap, Childe ...... quickly"

One person shouted at Ming Gongzi, and before he finished speaking, he had stopped abruptly.

A killing is just around the corner.

Ming Gongzi turned around when he heard the movement, his face turned pale: "Stop!" What are you doing? ”

Hou Xiaoming didn't talk nonsense, and motioned for the soldiers to continue.

"Ahh

"Help......

The so-called personal guards are also looking at slightly stronger peasant soldiers, where have they seen this battle.

Except for a few people who resisted, most of them didn't have their heads and flew around.

Ming Gongzi trembled, and his heart was extremely remorseful.

The eyes gradually quieted down, and a hundred guards had become a hundred corpses.

Ming Gongzi could barely stand on his feet, and looked at Hou Xiaoming's gaze with fear.

This is a killer, right?

Myself...... It should be fine......

Hou Xiaoming glanced at him contemptuously and motioned for several child soldiers to step forward.

"What? What are you doing here? ”

Ming Gongzi was put on his arm, screaming fiercely, and struggling hard, but it was useless, and he was dragged in like a dead dog......

……

Wuwei county government.

Huo Wu tore a roast chicken thigh and chewed two bites, in a very good mood.

Tang Guang said with a smile: "We haven't thought about fighting Wuwei County, Wuwei County Lieutenant will open the city and go along, this is what the people want......"

Xue Biao also echoed: "It was the fifth brother's prestige that spread far and wide, which made the Wuwei County Lieutenant fall in the wind." ”

Huo Wu nodded Tang Guang and Xue Biao: "Okay, you two don't make me laugh anymore...... I dare say that the county lieutenant didn't know who we were...... It's just that the county guard was evacuated by the prefect and misunderstood that we were attacking the city, and he knew that it was difficult to defend, so he took the initiative to surrender......"

Tang Guangdao: "So what? This is the luck of the fifth master, since the fifth master went out of Chuzhou, this fortune can't be stopped! ”

Xue Biao's heart was sour, but he was a little proud.

He is the No. 4 person in the Chuzhou Army, and the larger the territory of the Chuzhou Army, the higher his status.

Huo Wu smiled and said, "The more obedient it is, the more careful we must be, the lion fights the rabbit, and we use all our strength, we can't capsize in the gutter......"

Tang Guang and Xue Biao both got up.

"Fifth Master rest assured, I finally grabbed the battle in Deng Ye's mouth, dare not do my best?"

Tang Guang said this, and he also thought so in his heart.

He wanted to work hard and make a big contribution during the joint war.

When you are rewarded for your meritorious deeds, you can also be a little more decent.

40,000 Luzhou soldiers, even if most of them are captured, they are 20,000, and in the end, they still have to be assigned to everyone.

Grab a big achievement, more people, and then persuade your nephew to come back, and he will also be famous.

Xue Biao also said: "I can't help much, just in front of the Buddha, pray for the fifth brother and the generals......"

……

On the south shore of Chaohu Lake, Liyu Gully.

The 15,000 Chuzhou troops led by Deng Jian, Feng Monk, Du Laoba, Xiong Qianhu and others landed and camped here one after another in the early morning.

Here, it is only twenty miles away from the Beiguan camp where the Luzhou army is located.

What the generals ate was the fresh food sent by the Chaohu Water Division.

The hot fish soup is filled with thick pepper, and the people who eat it are sweating all over.

"Rainy ...... tonight"

Monk Feng held the soup bowl, stood at the mouth of the military tent, and looked at the sky.

When Deng Jian heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

Tonight, land and water will fight together.

Lu Zhan is not afraid here, but I don't know if the Chaohu Water Division has a big impact.

Du Laoba swallowed two mouthfuls of fish soup, squinted his eyes, and said, "It's raining...... The two ships were saved...... Otherwise, they won't be able to beat us, and they will set fire to the ship, which will make people feel distressed......"

Xiong Qianhu participated in the battle for the first time, and was a little nervous, and said: "But if it rains, you can't attack the Luzhou camp at night with fire...... The 40,000 soldiers of the Luzhou battalion are ...... more than us."

The two roads of the Chuzhou army added up, only 26,000.

Everyone fought one by one, but no one laughed at Xiong Qianhu's nervousness.

Deng Jian explained: "Among the 40,000 people, there are only 12,000 soldiers, and the remaining 28,000 are new ...... drawn within ten years."

When Xiong Qianhu heard this, he immediately settled down.

Speaking of which, the backbone of the 3,000 men and horses he brought were all the people of Black Python Mountain, and the soldiers were also new soldiers, but they were new soldiers who had been trained for three months, and they were the sharp blades waiting to be unsheathed.

He was afraid that the initial battle would be too damaged and let down the expectations of the owner of the horse village and Huo Wu, so he was cautious.

But with such soldiers and horses on the other side, what else is there to worry about?
