In the seventeenth year of Zhizheng, on the fifteenth day of May.

At this time, not to mention Guo Yu and other Great Chu expeditions to the Western Army, who had been attacking Wanzhou City for five days.

Let's start with the situation in the Central Plains.

I have to say that in terms of the demise of the Yuan court, the inertia of history is still amazingly large.

In mid-May, Liu Futong, who was bent on capturing Bianliang and recovering the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, finally led the army to conquer Chenliu, Qixian and other places, and truly achieved the Yellow River, not to mention, but also directly advanced the troops of the army to Bianliang and Xiangfu, the administrative center of Yuanmeng in the Central Plains.

Under such circumstances, Emperor Yuan had to allow the right prime minister, who was already in bed for the rest of his life, to stay in the wilderness.

He was replaced by a younger and more ambitious Governor of the empire as the right prime minister of the empire.

In the hope that the superintendent will be able to turn the tide and save the declining Yuan and Mongolian empires.

But think about it, this kind of arduous task can't even be done by the detachment of the first virtuous minister at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, who was evaluated by later generations. How could this son of a family from a cowardly family do it.

Therefore, even after taking office, even after the Governor of Wei Sijian came to power, he immediately ordered that half of the people's taxes would be exempted nationwide this year.

But it still didn't work.

You know, this is not the time to get rid of the government.

During the reign of Tokhtar, the Yuanmeng center had always controlled this extremely powerful military force. Therefore, even if the world is in turmoil, local officials will never dare to easily disobey the decree issued by the central government. At that time, the Yuan-Mongolian center could even easily mobilize ethnic minorities everywhere to serve the state.

But this situation, after Tokhtar was deposed and killed by this guy Hama's false holy decree, which caused hundreds of thousands of Yuan and Mongolian officers and soldiers with considerable combat power to scatter in all directions.

With heavy troops in hand, it can be said that they are rebellious generals who govern the army and the people on horseback, and they have long since stopped taking the orders of the center in their eyes.

Therefore, if the Emperor ordered the nationwide exemption of half of this year's taxes, it would be a complete nonsense at the local level.

Now these local generals, if they can not raise a thousand soldiers, they will not raise eight hundred. In this way, if heavy taxes are not levied on the people at the bottom, will the soldiers under their command not be able to drink the northwest wind?

It is with such an order after it has been issued to the place. Except for the magistrates in the Gyeonggi area, who complied with this order, the officials and generals in other places simply ignored it.

Even some unruly local generals even shouted directly to the center, saying that "this is a chaotic law" and did not admit it at all.

Therefore, it was originally the three fires of the new official, and he was also ambitious and wanted to become the minister of the Yuanmeng Empire, and he couldn't help but be slapped hard by the cruel reality.

However, fortunately, there was also such a lesson, which made the right prime minister of the empire realize the importance of military power.

Therefore, in the next step, Wei Sijian couldn't help but put his mind on the current Central Plains Xingsheng Right Prime Minister Tai Buhua, the provincial Pingzhang plus the rank of Tai Tai Lieutenant, and the Zhongshu Provincial Privy Alu and others.

wants to use the existing authority of the center, from the hands of these three people, each of them will transfer a part of the elite soldiers to defend the Beijing division and strengthen the authority of the center.

In this regard, the three of Badulu, Taibuhua, and Aru were reluctant.

But in the face of the righteousness of the Son of Heaven, these three people still couldn't help but send some soldiers and horses to the center as if they were calling Huazi.

The armament that the Yuanmeng center can grasp has been slightly strengthened.

……

In the fifteenth year of Zhizheng, on the eighteenth day of May. After a long journey, the finisher finally commanded the last armament that he urgently drew from all over the Qinglu from Chongqinglu, a total of more than 16,000 soldiers and horses, and killed thirty miles south of Wanzhou City.

"Xiangye, the last general Su Rile will visit Xiangye." Thirty miles outside Wanzhou City, the finisher was finally able to join the three thousand soldiers and horses of Wuning City.

As soon as the commander of the soldiers and horses arrived, Su Rile, the general of Wuning, couldn't help but hurriedly bring the generals under his tent to meet him.

"Excuse me." In this regard, the finisher waved his hand and asked Su Rile and the others to stand up from the ground.

Then, after Su Rile and the others got up from the ground one after another, the finisher didn't spend any time looking in the direction of Wanzhou City, and couldn't help but ask Su Rile: "Su Rile, report me all the details of the battle that you know in the past few days." ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey." Hearing this, Su Rile hurriedly agreed.

Then while he welcomed the complete person into the camp where he had been stationed these days, he couldn't help but report all the news he knew to the complete person without flower.

"Very well, listen to you. It seems that these days, the black-clothed thieves who have been conquering Wanzhou City for a long time have become a little anxious and fluctuating. "Half an hour later, after listening to Surile's report. Especially when he heard that the 3,000 Chu army, which was originally just staring at the 3,000 soldiers and horses of Su Rile, began to take the initiative to provoke and invite them to fight two days ago.

The finisher didn't spend all the time on his gloomy face, and finally couldn't help but smile on his face.

"Heh, what Xiang Ye said is very true." When Su Rile heard this, he first flattered him. Then he couldn't help but think he was clever and agreed: "The last general actually thinks the same way." These black-clothed thieves must know that Xiangye's reinforcements are about to arrive, and it will be difficult for them to conquer Wanzhou City for a while, so they will pay attention to the last general.

Therefore, the last general has turned a blind eye to the provocations of the black-clothed thieves these days, so that this group of black-clothed thieves cannot be used. No, Xiangye, you are leading the soldiers and horses to come. The three thousand black-clothed thieves who had provoked the general the day before yesterday hurriedly withdrew yesterday. ”

"Well, that's good. Surile, you're doing a great job. In this regard, the finisher couldn't help but praise it from the bottom of his heart.

He knew that his subordinates had always been cautious, even a little cautious to the point of timidity at some times.

But this time, it was precisely because of this caution that the Su Rile side was able to completely retain the strength of its troops. And these days, part of the black-clothed thief's troops have also been firmly contained here, which is undoubtedly commendable.

"Hehe, the last general just did his part. All of this is thanks to your wise scheduling. If it weren't for you, you would have commanded the reinforcements in time, and the black-clothed thieves would not have been fluctuating because of this. Now, the army has been assembled, and our army has the upper hand in this battle. Come to think of it, defeating the black-clothed thief who came to commit the crime should also be just around the corner. ”

For the praise of the finisher who does not spend, this Wuning guard general Su Rile, at this time, while smiling and patting the fart of the finisher, he couldn't help but take out his treasured good tea, and personally made a cup of tea for the finisher.

Seeing this, the finisher who likes to drink tea first blew and took a sip. Then he nodded, looked at Su Rile with a flattering smile on his face, and couldn't help but say with a little ease on his face: "Now, as soon as our reinforcements arrive." In terms of troops, it has already gained an advantage.

Now, as long as we want, our army can join forces with the defenders of Wanzhou at any time to attack the black-clothed thieves together. In this way, I think that the black-clothed thief will definitely not dare to besiege Wanzhou City arrogantly as he did a few days ago. But even so, we must not be careless.

Among the black-clothed thieves, there are many outlaws, and they are quite good at fighting. Its commander and puppet general, Guo Yu, is also a little fierce. So even at this time, we still have to be in good spirits. You know, those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety. ”

"What Xiangye taught. The last general must strictly supervise the soldiers under his tent and prevent them from having the heart of contempt for the enemy. Hearing this, Su Rile hurriedly agreed, which can be described as an excellent subordinate.

However, at this time, the exclamation of the subordinates outside the tent couldn't help but break the current atmosphere, and the atmosphere in the tent, which already seemed a little relaxed, was swept away.

"The general is not good. A messenger from Wanzhou broke through and said, "General Bald, I can't stand it anymore"! ”

"What!" The finisher is not surprised. You must know that Wanzhou City is their biggest reliance against the black-clothed thieves, once Wanzhou City is lost, those wavering rebels in Liangshan Prefecture will inevitably have the idea of surrendering to the black-clothed thieves.

At that time, even if he doesn't spend 10,000 more soldiers and horses in his hands, he will definitely be weak.

So after exclaiming, the finisher couldn't help waving his hand and said, "Quick, call me the messenger who broke through and came to ask for help, quick!" ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!" When the soldier heard this, he hurriedly agreed.

Then he couldn't help but carry the messenger, who was almost covered in blood with arrows in his body, into the tent.

"The thieves in black are attacking the city with all their might, like a tidal wave. The soldiers in the city have already lost nearly half of them. I begged General Su Rile to send troops to support as soon as possible, and to send troops to support as soon as possible. But because of the loss of blood, the messenger was already a little delirious.

After being carried into the big tent, he didn't notice that his face had become gloomy, but he kept whispering.

"Hey, boy, don't panic, boy. Xiangye has already led reinforcements to come, and Wanzhou will definitely not fall. Boy, hurry up and tell me about the situation in Wanzhou at this time. Seeing that the face of the person who finished seeing it had become a little gloomy and terrible, Su Rile shuddered at the same time, and hurriedly grabbed the messenger's hand and asked such a question.

"Xiangye, Xiangye is here. God forbid, God forbid. Xiangye, please send troops as soon as possible. Yesterday, the black-clothed thieves withdrew the soldiers and horses guarding against General Surile. Then, as if crazy, they attacked the city day and night.

Now, Wanzhou City has lost nearly half of its soldiers, and General Bald is almost unable to withstand it. Xiangye, hurry up and send troops, otherwise in a day or two, the city will be and will fall! ”

"Okay, I see, I'll send troops quickly. Now, give me the help of this warrior to rest and take care of him. His face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water, and the one who came did not spend his time commanding.

"Yes, my subordinates obey!" Hearing this, the soldiers carrying the messenger hurriedly agreed.

Then they couldn't help but carry the messenger out with a faster speed, who was already unconscious.

"Xiangye, we ......"

"Damn, the black-clothed thief dares to despise me so much!" Finally, when only himself and his subordinate Su Rile were left in the camp, the man who was slapped in the face by the Chu army could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

He roared, like an angry lion, and swept everything on the table in front of him, including a cup of hot tea that Surile had made for him.

"Surile, give me an order to go down immediately. Prepare the meal, and then organize the soldiers. This time, I will make this group of arrogant thieves pay! ”

"Yes, subordinates obey, subordinates obey!" Su Rile, who was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, hurriedly kowtowed at this time and agreed like pounding garlic.

Then he was embarrassed like a lost dog, so he couldn't help but crawl out of the camp on his knees, and hurried down to convey the military order for the finisher.

……

"Marshal, according to the scout. The finisher had already led a large army to come, judging by the speed of their march at this time. It is expected that in the evening, it will arrive at the city of Wanzhou. "In the big tent of the Chinese army where the Chu army camp is located, a division commander of the Chu army did not report the news to Guo Yu truthfully because of the news of the scout.

"Good." Guo Yu smiled when he heard this, and nodded, "Now, pass on my military order." Mingjin withdrew his troops and stopped the siege. Then I transferred all the wounded soldiers in the camp to the periphery. The corpses of the soldiers were still buried next to the barracks, pretending to have suffered heavy losses. ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!" When the commander heard this, he hurriedly agreed.

Then he couldn't help but retreat quickly, and hurriedly conveyed his marshal's order truthfully.

"Report! Xiangye, after the black-clothed thief noticed the movement of our army, he had already hurriedly collected his troops and stopped the siege. Half an hour later, the scouts under the tent of the Finisher did not spend their tent, and they also truthfully reported all the information they had seen with their own eyes to the Completer Buhua to know.

"Good. Order the scout battalion to probe and report again. ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!" Hearing this, the general shouted his order. Then he rode away and gave the order.

And over there, looking at the back of the general who came to report on his horse leaving, the finisher couldn't help but sneer without spending it, and said to the left and right: "After knowing the news that Benxiang led the army to support, the black-clothed thief hurriedly stopped the attack. Obviously, they are still afraid of us. Therefore, we still have the upper hand in this battle. ”

"What Xiang Ye said is extremely true, and what Xiang Ye said is extremely true." The surrounding generals hurriedly echoed when they heard the voice.

Therefore, a smile couldn't help but appear on the face of the finisher.

And then just like that, the one who had regained his former temperament couldn't help but continue to command the soldiers and horses, and killed in the direction of Wanzhou City.

This time, you must give these black-clothed thieves a good look. This time, not only let them return in vain, but also let them have no return.

On the way, the finisher looked at the army behind him, and his eyes couldn't help but become sharper.
