Chapter 123: Jinhua Army

Xu Du said a lot, stepped forward in a few steps, borrowed a blade from the guards beside Zhang Xuan, and stabbed Wang Xiong to death with one sword.

Then he knelt down to Zhang Xuan again and said, "Lord Xie avenges me." ”

Zhang Xuan hurriedly picked up Xu Du and said: "General Xu, why should you be like this, the righteous army in the world is one family, and your hatred is my hatred." ”

After the two sat down again, Zhang Xuan asked: "I watched the white-headed sergeants fighting before, and they had the style of General Qi, can the general get the true biography of General Qi?" ”

"I don't dare to say that General Qi has a true biography, but Yiwu and Dongyang chickens and dogs have heard of each other, and the ancestors are also a member of General Qi. Xu never dared to forget his roots, General Qi's art of war is a family tradition, and he didn't dare to understand it, General Qi's ability is like a mountain and a sea, and he only dares to say that he knows a little about the skin. Xu Du said.

"Okay." Zhang Xuan was overjoyed. said, "Can the general tell me about it?" ”

"General Qi has never seen the door." Xu Du said: "The art of war is spread all over the world, how dare I cherish it with a broom." When the general asked, he naturally knew that there was no end to what he said. ”

Zhang Xuan's heart was even more happy.

Qi Jiguang, as the closest military master to this era, is known as the precedent of the modern army, Zhang Xuan will naturally not let go, Qi Jiguang's two military books, "The New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "Records of Military Training" Zhang Xuan have studied them one by one.

But on paper, it is shallow in the end, and the army is something to be practiced, in self-study, Zhang Xuan has a lot of doubts, but no one can answer them. And now it can be regarded as meeting a person who understands.

Zhang Xuan immediately called Zheng Lian over, and from the bookcase behind Zheng Lian, he took out two books, none other than "The New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "The Record of Military Training". Immediately, after Zhang Xuan opened it, he saw that there were many words densely written on it with charcoal, and the handwriting traces on it were different, and they were not written at one time.

Zhang Xuan started from the first page and asked Xu Du about the remaining questions one by one.

Xu Du saw the marks on these two books, and suddenly glanced at Zhang Xuan in his heart.

After all, in Xu Du's impression, the so-called thieves and generals are all illiterate in big characters. It's just a brave man.

As for the words written by Zhang Xuan, they are all simplified characters.

However, in fact, among the simplified characters, there are not many simplifications by themselves, and most of them are variant characters from ancient books. No matter how Xu Du says, he is also a sentient being, and these are just the basic skills of literacy. Naturally understandable.

Xu Du answered Zhang Xuan's questions little by little.

Zhang Xuan listened, some nodded, and some secretly shook their heads in their hearts.

There are some things that are secretly in line with what Zhang Xuan thinks, and there are some things that make Zhang Xuan suddenly brightened, and of course there are some things that make Zhang Xuan secretly shake his head in his heart, such as wolf stalks. Xu Du is highly respected. But in Zhang Xuan's view, these irregular weapons should be withdrawn from the stage of history.

However, Zhang Xuan undoubtedly argued with Xu Du. His inquiry was not only to let Xu Du answer his questions, but also to explore Xu Du's bottom.

Zhang Xuan heard Xu Du's name from Ruan Dacheng's mouth, and he also inquired from other channels, knowing that Xu Du's name as a soldier could be regarded as a good knowledge from far and near.

It's just that no matter how big the name is, Zhang Xuan doesn't dare to completely believe it, after all, the person who talks on paper is by no means Ma Kuo alone.

After some inquiries today, Zhang Xuan confirmed one point, Xu Du does have an outstanding foundation in the art of war, but when he does not go to the battlefield and wins or loses, he will not know who is the influence and who is the bear.

With this name, Zhang Xuan has more confidence in Xu Du.

"General Xu, how many soldiers does the Baitou Army have?" Zhang Xuan said.

When Xu Du heard this, his heart sank, and he knew that he had entered the main topic and said: "There are more than 100,000 white-headed sergeants. ”

"Between you and me, there is no need to lie." Zhang Xuan said: "I said how many people really dare to fight? ”

Xu Du said: "Less than 10,000 people. Before the Xu family, there were hundreds of families, all of whom practiced General Qi's method, and thousands of people were the team of the Baitou Army. I don't dare to compare with the general's men and horses, but I can fight with the officers and soldiers. ”

Xu Du is proficient in the art of war, and when he went to the city, he naturally saw the soldiers guarding the city.

He could naturally see that these soldiers were rare elite soldiers.

Zhang Xuan said: "Okay. Xu Du listened to orders. “

"The end will be." Xu Du said.

"General Ben appointed you as the commander of the Jinhua Army. Under the jurisdiction of three battalions, Yiwu, Dongyang, Jinhua three battalions, each battalion of 3,000 people, you quickly fill a vacancy. Guarding Jinhua, preparing to advance westward, guarding against the men and horses of Jiangxi and Fujian. ”

"Yes." Xu Du said, and he immediately said: "My lord, if the Baitou Army is still tens of thousands of families, if it is not settled, I am afraid that people will be uneasy." ”

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly and said: "Now that the prefect of Jinhua has not yet arrived, I will let you temporarily take the title of prefect of Jinhua." ”

Zhang Xuan seemed to answer the question. But Xu Du's heart moved, but he understood what was going on.

It was clear that Xu Du would take the property of the gentry and settle the white-headed soldiers.

The white-headed soldiers are mainly the people in the mountains, and the people have no intention of going up the mountain to steal for food, and they have been exterminated once a few years ago, but the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger.

Xu Du was because of his own affairs, and he came together with the displaced people in the mountains before the Baitou Army revolted. But this is not to say that without Xu Du, such an uprising would not have existed.

On the contrary, if there is no Xu Dugai, it will break out, but sooner or later.

Because of this, Xu Du took refuge in the rebel army, and he had to take on the responsibility of finding a bite to eat for his brothers.

With Zhang Xuan's hints, Xu Du could justifiably confiscate the property of the recalcitrant gentry. and distribute the landless to the landless.

The reason why Zhang Xuan hinted so much was that he also wanted to find someone to cooperate with in Jinhua Mansion.

In fact, Zhang Xuan adhered to this attitude of looking for collaborators in all places in Jiangnan, but most of the gentry in Jiangnan remained silent. Those who defected to the rebels were just some homeless people who were demoted.

The latent power of these people is far less than that of the squire.

Therefore, Zhang Xuan felt that the rule of the rebel army over Jiangnan was hesitant to build on the beach. If there is a stir, I am afraid that something will go wrong.

However, Jinhua has Xu Du, but it is greatly immovable, Xu Du in order to settle the family of the Baitou Army, but he has taken a big advantage, in fact, the entire Baitou Army has boarded the ship of the righteous army.

Xu Du, as a person, may be capricious, but as a collective, the Baitou Army has his interests.

In the name of the righteous army, Xu Du won the land on which the Baitou army depended, and was naturally hated by those gentry. In the future, the officers and troops will return, and the white-headed army will not have a single one, and there will be no good end to the plan.

Therefore, Zhang Xuan was not afraid that he would reap benefits for the white-headed army, but he was afraid that he would not reap the benefits, and only if he reaped the benefits, it would mean that the white-headed army would not be able to get off the boat.

"Jinhua Mansion is probably the most stable government ruled by the rebels among the several prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River." Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "It is also the most tragic battle since the Eastern Crusade of the Great Army." ”

Almost all of them were looking at the wind before, and after Jinhua Mansion did not occupy the finished weapon, it was extremely commendable to still insist on fighting.

"Your Excellency. The officers and troops attacked again. He Hutou said.

In fact, no, He Hutou reminded Zhang Xuan that he knew, he heard the horns in the city, the bells and drums sounded in unison, and in the solemnity, there was a sense of martyrdom.

Zhu Dadian rode a horse and stood in front of the battle, his white hair unwillingly lonely from under the helmet.

Order.

The last main force of the officers and troops rushed out from a few street corners and rushed towards the western city wall.

"My lord, the gunpowder is gone." Qin Meng came over to report.

"Wouldn't there be no war without gunpowder?" Zhang Xuan glared at Qin Meng. Qin Meng trembled and said, "The last general understands. ”

The firearms that Zhang Xuan seized were all stored on the city walls. Under the fierce battle of a day, the consumption is extremely great, and now it has long been exhausted, if the official army defends the city, there must be someone to transport supplies at this moment, but no.

Zhang Xuan also knew that after all the firearms were dumb, the rest of the war would have to fight with his life.

Seeing the officers and troops coming violently, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but think: "Why hasn't Cao Zongyu come yet?" ”

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, Zhang Xuan just read Cao Zongyu, and saw the soldiers behind him shouting: "General Cao has arrived." ”

From a distance, I saw a banner unfurled, with a Cao character written on it, and traces of a large group of people marching behind it.

Who is not Cao Zongyu?
