When they rushed to the palace in a hurry, the longest-reigning Emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty (Note 1) was also sitting on the dragon chair and waiting for the tokhov. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, when Emperor Yuan Shun, the son of heaven, saw the prime minister, he was not angry, but surprisingly restrained his anger, after all, he was also his childhood playmate, and if there was no righteous annihilation of his relatives, he and Queen Qi would not have been so comfortable today.

So after Totoh walked into the hall with his head down, Emperor Yuan Shun first asked Pu Buhua to take a stool for him, and after he sat down, Emperor Yuan Shun picked up the fold in his hand and asked Toto: "Prime Minister, you must know the urgent report in this compromise, right?" ”

When Totoh heard this, he didn't say anything but nodded, and when Emperor Yuan Shun saw this, he couldn't help but raise his head, looked at the pillars in the main hall, and said to him in a deep voice: "Say, as the prime minister of the Great Yuan Dynasty, what are you going to do about this?" ”

When he heard this, he slowly stood up from the stool, still with his head down, and said to Emperor Yuan Shun word by word: "Just red scarf bandits, ringworm scabies, don't worry. Now the matter of governing the river is a major matter for the imperial court, so the minister thinks that the imperial court only needs to issue a reprimand document and order all parts of Jiangbei Province to send troops to suppress bandits. ”

"Oh, is that all it takes?" Emperor Yuan Shun, who was sitting on the dragon chair, asked as if he didn't care.

"The southerners have a backbone, do not think about the kindness of the court, often regard themselves as the remnants of the Song Dynasty, and are accustomed to the rebellion of thieves, the court does not need to care too much, and there are many elite soldiers and strong generals in Jiangbei Province, and once the imperial court edict arrives, the officers and soldiers from all walks of life can pacify them." Totoku lowered his head and said in an extremely firm tone.

When Emperor Yuan Shun heard Toto's words, he nodded, and still said in a flat tone: "Since the prime minister has made up his mind, then this matter will all be handled by you." After saying this, Emperor Yuan Shun stood up from the dragon chair and said to Pu Buhua: "Give me some 'Lang Wu' (Note 2)' and my 'Yina' to be happy and cheerful." ”

Saying that, Emperor Yuan Shun laughed and walked out of the palace, took 'Yi Na' and the monks of the Western Regions, and summoned the concubines of the harem to hold an uncovered meeting together.

Hey, I have to say that compared with Emperor Yuan Shun, who is obsessed with collective sex and has *** chaotic obsession syndrome, what Emperor Yang of Sui, Houzhu Chen and the like are simply weak, after all, Emperor Yang of Sui and Houzhu Chen are not with the ministers, stripping naked and bare-assed, regardless of men, women and children. Not to mention that the harem concubines and monks slept together, and the place in the governance even evolved that when a woman reaches the age of marriage, no matter whether she is beautiful or ugly, tall or short, she must sleep with the monk once, which is called the rule of "opening red".

However, for Emperor Yuan Shun's absurd behavior, Totoku kept his head down as if he didn't see it, until Emperor Yuan Shun left, Totoku raised his head and strode away from this place that made him feel disgusting.

……

The next day, the court meeting was held as scheduled, and under the auspices of Toto, the Yuan and Mongolian courts quickly established a plan to get rid of the thieves, that is, first punish the officials who were unfavorable to the thieves, such as Heguo, Bal Chi, and Xu Zuocheng, in order to make an example of one hundred people. However, because he had already died in battle, in line with the principle that those who sacrificed their lives for the country cannot be punished, Tokhtar finally decided: "Remove the bald from his post and demote him to a commoner." And Xu Rongchen and Xu Zuocheng were sentenced to "be decided" because they were accused of escaping from the battle by the bald red. ”

After the "notarized" sentence of the three people, the Yuanmeng court reprimanded the edict and the edict against the thieves in Jiangbei Province, and ordered the officials of Jiangbei Province to exterminate this rebellious red turban bandits.

As for the question of whether the imperial court should send a large army to conquer, no one in the entire imperial court mentioned it from beginning to end, because everyone knew that the current imperial court was simply unable to send troops to expedition. The emperor's debauchery, the greed of officials everywhere, and the huge river control project of Shangshu Jialu of the Ministry of Industry had already wiped out the treasury of the Yuan and Mongolian courts.

In the current treasury, the ground is cleaner than the face, the treasury is empty enough to run rats, and it is simply impossible to send troops to suppress bandits before the autumn tax revenue is not up.

Therefore, the so-called strategy of the imperial court to suppress bandits, in the current period, is only lip service.

However, it is precisely because of this that the Red Turban Army has gained an extremely valuable space for development, after all, if the Yuanmeng Imperial Court immediately sends a large army to conquer now, with the current strength of the Red Turban Army, the possibility of victory is extremely slim.

However, Zhang Shihua, who is thousands of miles away, still has no idea about everything that is happening here.

After attacking Xincai City, Zhang Shihua, who was the chief general of the deputy route army, only stayed in Xincai City for one day, and after handling the affairs of Xincai City and letting Zhao Er lead 500 people to garrison it, Zhang Shihua led the remaining 3,500 troops and rushed straight to Zhenyang Xian City in Xizhou in the southwest.

Although Zhenyang City is far less important than an important town like Shangcai in terms of geographical location, Zhenyang City is now the only way for Ruyang Fucheng to go south. It can be said that as long as Zhenyang Xian City is taken, it can cut off the connection between Ruyang Mansion City and the three continents of Xizhou, Gwangju and Xinyang Prefecture in the south in one fell swoop.

But because of this, the officials and troops of Runing Mansion would never want to see Zhenyang City captured by the Red Turban Army, especially in this period of extremely tense situation, the status of Zhenyang City has naturally become more important.

According to the report of the Red Turban Spy near Zhenyang, the three states of Xizhou, Gwangju, and Xinyang Prefecture can be said to have raised a large army in order to protect Zhenyang Xian City and Ruyang Mansion City, and the three states gathered a total of 3,000 men and horses to garrison Zhenyang City.

And when Zhang Shihua and them attacked Xincai City, they built fortifications without sleep, and if the posture was given enough time for this group of officers and soldiers to prepare, then it would not be an easy thing to capture Zhenyang Xian City with only these soldiers under Zhang Shihua's command.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Shihua will be so anxious to lead his troops to leave Xincai, after all, if he fails to capture Zhenyang Xian City in time, then when reinforcements from other state capitals arrive, this war may evolve into a tug-of-war, and if it evolves into a tug-of-war, then even if the Red Turban Army can win in the future, it will definitely be greatly damaged, this result is something Zhang Shihua never wants to see.

The distance between Zhenyang City and Xincai City is much closer than the distance between Shangcai and Xincai City, but even so, it still takes nearly four days for more than 3,500 people to rush from Xincai to Zhenyang, but fortunately, there is no rain in these four days, so although it is hot, at least it does not affect Zhang Shihua and their hurry.

……

Four days later, at noon, Zhang Shihua led an army of more than 3,000 people, and after a long journey, he finally arrived ten miles northeast of Zhenyang Xian City.

Before the army, Zhang Shihua rode on a horse, rode up a high slope, and after looking at the heavily guarded Zhenyang County not far away from the high slope, he looked up at the sky and couldn't help sighing. And the guards next to Zhang Shihua heard Zhang Shihua's sigh, and a guard named Liu Hao took the initiative to say to Zhang Shihua: "My lord, these two days have been hot and stuffy like a steamer, and it is estimated that there will be heavy rain in the next two days." ”

"Oh, really?" When Zhang Shihua heard this, he turned around and asked.

When Liu Hao heard Zhang Shihua's words, he nodded extremely seriously, and said: "My lord, I used to be a farmer, and these were all told to me by my father, but I was sure." ”

When Zhang Shihua heard this, he was silent for a moment, then turned his horse's head and went down the high slope, and said: "In this case, give me an order to go down and let the brothers set up camp here, and let the rain rain in the province." ”

When a herald behind Zhang Shihua heard this, he immediately went down to give the order as soon as he said "obey the order".

……

More than half an hour later, in Zhang Shihua's Chinese army tent, Zhang Shihua and Wang Xianzhong were shirtless, drinking cold water, and discussing the next siege plan.

"Hey, this True Yang Xian City is not easy to fight! Brother Zhang, you have also seen it, on the east side of the city, they built an outer camp, looking at the size of the outer camp, it is estimated that there will be at least 2,000 people, and they also have more than 1,000 people stationed in the city. In this way, the three thousand soldiers of this Tartar are inside and outside, and they are horns of each other, so that we can't attack the city at all without storming his outer camp, and it is very difficult to get entangled. Wang Xianzhong took a sip of cold water, sighed and said to Zhang Shihua.

When Zhang Shihua heard this, he first drank the cold water in the bowl, and after drinking the water, Zhang Shihua put down the bowl in his hand, wiped his mouth and said to Wang Xianzhong: "In this case, tomorrow we will directly serve their outer camp, Ge Laozi, three thousand Tartar soldiers can still go to heaven." ”

When Wang Xianzhong heard Zhang Shihua's words, he smiled and said: "Brother Zhang is arrogant enough, even so, my old Wang and my soldiers will all be handed over to you, Brother Zhang." After saying this, he also drank the cold water in the bowl, and after drinking it, he pursed his lips, as if he was savoring.

……

The next day, Zhang Shihua and Wang Xianzhong originally planned to send troops to attack the city today, but the sky was not beautiful, and before dawn, a heavy rain fell. Maybe it's really because it's been so hot that God can't stand it anymore, so that the heavy rain has been falling from morning to evening.

It wasn't until the sun went down that the rain fell. Fortunately, the terrain where Zhang Shihua and the others camped was a high ground, otherwise, they would have been flooded by this sudden heavy rain.

After this rain, on the third day, because of the heavy rain yesterday, the ground looked very muddy and difficult to walk. But Zhang Shihua couldn't manage so much, after letting the soldiers eat breakfast, Zhang Shihua gathered a total of 3,500 soldiers under his command and attacked the camp outside Zhenyang City not far away.

As the saying goes: "To defend the city must be defended, and when the city is attacked, the field must be attacked." "The outer camp guarded by two thousand Tartar officers and soldiers outside Zhenyang City is the "wild" in this city, so if you want to capture Zhenyang County, you must first pull out this outer camp.

However, the reason why the Zhenyang defenders defending the city did this, then they naturally knew how important this outer camp was, so when they saw that the Red Turban Army outside the city had gathered all their forces to attack the outer camp outside the city, they naturally also gathered more than 2,000 soldiers from the outer camp, preparing to fight to the death with the menacing Red Turban Army.

As when attacking Xincai, Guo Yu, who was a deputy Qianhu, was still leading the clan soldiers at this time, and the charge in armor was at the forefront.

Guo Yu is a proud person, he wants to wash away the shame on his body and the shame of his family with the blood of the enemy, so when Xin Cai fights, he will take the initiative to ask his brother-in-law for war, but what he didn't expect is that Xin Cai's enemy army is so vulnerable, the knife in his hand has not seen blood, and the enemy surrendered.

But today, he will be able to wash away the shame of his family and let those comrades in the army know that he Guo Yu is not only Zhang Shihua's brother-in-law, he is also a general who can kill the enemy!

Looking at the enemy rushing from the camp not far away, Guo Yu roared and quickened the pace of the charge. "Kill!" The generals on both sides shouted hoarsely.

"Die!" Guo Yu roared angrily, the steel knife in his hand was as fast as a bolt of lightning, and he cut off the head of a soldier on the opposite side with a single sword, and the blood in the soldier's neck spurted Lao Gao at once, splashing the blood of the people around him, but this blood did not make people feel frightened, but made the soldiers fighting on both sides become more and more crazy.

"Kill!" Guo Yu, who was splashed with blood, wanted to go crazy, roared with a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and rushed into the enemy army like an angry bear.

Guo Yu was wearing heavy armor, and he only attacked and could not defend when he entered the enemy formation, and the thick-backed steel knife in his hand flew up and down, and the enemy soldiers were injured and killed when they touched it, and they were killed until they rose, Guo Yu threw it directly to the iron shield in his left hand, and snatched a steel knife from the enemy's hands.

Guo Yu, who was holding two knives, attacked even more fiercely, and one person with two knives actually killed more than a dozen people in a row.

The main general was so brave, and the generals and soldiers under Guo Yu were naturally encouraged, and those soldiers rushed into the enemy battle formation one by one without fear of death under the leadership of Guo Yu. However, a mere hundred people almost crushed the battle formation of the Tartars.

Seeing this, a brave general in the officers and soldiers could no longer hold back. I saw an enemy general with leopard eyes like Zhang Yide of the Three Kingdoms, holding an eight-edged steel mace, roaring loudly, and rushed towards Guo Yu, who was holding two knives and looking like a demon god.

The leopard-eyed enemy general, who took three steps and made two steps, rushed to Guo Yu's approach, and did not speak, just roared, and the eight-edged steel shovel in his hand smashed down on Guo Yu's head and face.

Seeing this, Guo Yu also shouted, and he didn't let go at all, but just fought the steel knife in his hand towards the enemy general.

Although the leopard-eyed enemy general was brave, he had never seen such a deadly style of play, so he had to defend with the steel shovel in his hand on his chest. However, although this enemy general held Guo Yu's first knife, he also had no sharp spirit to fight for his life, and where would it be Guo Yu's opponent, in less than two rounds, Guo Yu slashed off the man's head with a knife.
