Chen Jiao and others' Mongolian attire, was obtained in a wonderful ambush battle six days ago, he ambushed his subordinates in the mountain col, and then he and a few soldiers dressed up as fishermen, leisurely fishing in the river, the guards of Xinyang will be sent out from time to time to capture the soldiers out to plunder the population as slaves, the people of Xinyang have either been captured and occupied, or have long fled to the territory of the Song Dynasty, at this time there are only a few fishermen left. *Words*Feelings**When the hundred households in charge of catching the life saw the ships of Chen Jiao and others, they were overjoyed, and immediately led dozens of cavalry to chase along the river, Chen Jiao first took them to the south for a while, and then pretended to be in a panic when he was chased, abandoned the boat and fled towards the mountain pass. When the rescue team entered the mountain pass, they became the prey of the guerrillas, and dozens of people were captured alive.

It is not the first time that he has sought the bad luck of the Xinyang guards, just because the Mongols have not established a long rule in Xinyang, and the guards are blindly greedy for money and goods and do not pay attention to governance, and the entire Xinyang army is sparsely populated and overgrown. Its situation is no different from that of the Dengzhou, Tangzhou, and Zaoyang armies. In addition, Chen Jiao has always shuttled back and forth at the junction of Tangzhou and Xinyang, which makes it extremely difficult for the local defenders to capture, and he often returns after sending troops in large quantities. This time, after they ambushed the capture team, the Mongol guards sent cavalry to conduct a carpet search for dozens of miles near the ambush site, but Chen Jiao took the captives and transferred to Gwangju. However, as soon as the search cavalry retreated, he led people to disguise themselves as Mongolian guards and wait for their prey on the official road.

Originally, the quiver warriors were supposed to carry the heavy military information or orders of the Mongols, but the Mongols never had any paperwork to transfer troops, but relied on the quiver warriors to convey the general's oral message in their minds. The two recruits under Chen Jiao were quick for a while, and the military order that this quiver soldier wanted to convey went with him to see Changshengtian, and it was too late for Chen Jiao to regret it.

But his eyes rolled, and suddenly another clever plan formed in his heart.

According to the order of the commander-in-chief of Zhengnan, the 3,000 servants under him who were responsible for escorting must rush to Xiangyang City within four days to participate in the siege, but these people have been delaying all the way, and there are still almost ten days away from Xiangyang today. If the deadline is missed, one can imagine the punishment that the Mongols will have for their newly surrendered army. He once heard the defender of Caizhou, who was also a general, say that the Mongols had used the surrender of troops to attack the city and let them die in defeat by themselves, in order to consume the body of the officers and soldiers defending the city and create conditions for the siege of the city by their own troops and horses. If you annoy Qu Chu this time, you may use it to fill the moat of Xiangyang at any time. *Words* Love**

It's not that he didn't redouble his severity in urging these damned people, and even killed a few particularly backward old, weak, sick and disabled. But everyone is on foot, no more than the soldiers on horseback, the body is limited after all, the quiver sent by Qu is very strict, because they are used to driving the people of the Central Plains and do not care about the life and death of the people, but Zhang Keda's men are only 300 people, if they drive this? If these middle-aged men are abducted excessively, no one can say for sure. Even if he could suppress them all, the number of people who were sent to the front of Xiangyang was too small, and he would have to face the punishment of Qu Chu.

Therefore, Zhang Qianhu frowned every day, and only thought about how to make these people also make four legs, and it was best to rush to Xiangyang within one day, which was naturally a pipe dream.

Luckily, luck was on his side today.

In the distance, a quiver man galloped on a fast horse, stopped the horse's hooves when he reached the front of the team, and the quiver shouted loudly: "Qu out of the king's order, each escort team along the road left a guard people, and the rest of the men and horses are marching to Tangzhou, there is reliable news that the Song people will take advantage of the opportunity of our army gathering under Xiangyang City, sneak attack Tangzhou, and burn our grain hoarding in Tangzhou." ”

Zhang Ke was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to the quiver: "Take the golden arrow and the waist card to check it, the Song people are not small this time." ”

The quiver took out the waist card and the golden arrow, handed it to Zhang Keda, looked at it for a while, and hurriedly asked for it back, saying: "In order to prevent the Mongol army from attacking Xiangyang, Sinan Si people are already like crazy bulls, and they will not hesitate to attack Tangzhou. The king ordered me to spread the word along the road, and all the armies on the road should rush to the rescue. He hurriedly leaned over, saluted Zhang Keda, and immediately rode away.

Zhang Keda thought for a while and said to the adjutant general: "I will leave a hundred people with you, how about I take my own brigade to Tangzhou?" ”

The lieutenant said with a bitter face: "How did a hundred people manage these thousands of people? ”

"There is also a garrison of our army near Xinyang." Zhang Keda said: "If necessary, ask them for help, now saving Tangzhou is the first thing." He was happy that the task was given to the deputy general, and the charge of delaying the line would not fall on his head, as for fighting with the Song people under the city of Tangzhou, he was not afraid, and he could win a lot of ranks, and he would get a great credit.

But even he didn't expect that something would happen to the team escorting the servants the day after he left. Chen Jiao's strategy was extremely unusual, first pretending to be Xinyang's capture army and contact with the escort team, and then accompanying the escort husband together, while sending someone to pretend to be a people's husband, claiming to have transported fifty urns of fine wine from Xinyang to slightly enter the friendship of the landlord, of course, the wine had already been drugged. The hundred escorted soldiers were all put down before they could snort.

Chen Jiao gathered the stunned people together and said, "We are the guerrilla sergeants under the command of the Great Song Jinghu Control Envoy!" I know that everyone is a peaceful and self-defending people, and they have to be forced by the Hu people to participate in the siege of Xiangyang City! But I want to remind everyone that there are a hundred copper generals who can shoot bombs at the head of Xiangyang City, and one bomb can kill 100 people! And there is Zheng Yunming, the nemesis of the Mongols, in the city, all of them are guarded, and even if the Hu people come to a million people, they will not want to shake Xiangyang even an inch! If you go to the front line in Xiangyang, you will definitely die! ”

The people gathered in one place immediately whispered, although they were just fools in the mountains, but after the soldiers of the Southern Expedition came back last year, they also talked about the battle of the Southern Expedition last year, and how powerful the fire-breathing monsters of the Song people were, which were fundamentally different from the iron artillery used by the Jin people. He also said that there was a brave general in Jiangnan, although he was young, he was very powerful, and he once defeated tens of thousands of troops of King Tasi and 10,000 elites of Shi Tianze with 3,000 men and horses. Although this time the Mongols poured out of the nest and their strength was extraordinary, they were just slaves, and they were almost certain to die on the battlefield.

Chen Jiao shouted: "Now that you have been rescued by the official army, of course I will not let you go to Xiangyang to die!" If there are those who are willing to return to their hometowns, we can put food and travel expenses to let you return to your hometown! If you wish to stay in the south of the Yangtze River, you can do so, and we will settle you on the south bank of the river, and give you the seeds to cultivate the land, so that you can live and work in peace and contentment, and you will no longer have to be enslaved by the Mongols. What do you think? ”

Some people were excited, how could a young man with strong blood be willing to be a slave of the Hu people who drank blood, and kept his voice down every day, and if he did the same, they were at least willing to be driven by a learned official. Henan was an important place of Confucianism before the southern crossing, and the Heluo school flourished in Henan, and even during the reign of the Jin Kingdom, Confucianism was still one of the main axes of rural life. The Mongols were new to the Central Plains, and their methods were so fierce that they were feared. If there is an opportunity, no one is willing to be ruled by them.

But it won't be that simple. People have parents, families, and clans in the country, and this bond of blood is stronger than anything else, and although they know that even if they return to their homeland, they may be punished by the Mongol missionaries, but in this day and age, leaving their homeland is a matter that will never be considered unless it is absolutely necessary. This is the bond between the land and the kinship in an agrarian society. In the end, more than 1,000 people expressed their willingness to follow Chen Jiao away, and the rest were willing to find their own way home.

Chen Jiao was not short of money and food, but what he lacked was the husband who transported the spoils of war. As for giving the people and prisoners money to return to their hometowns, it was one of Zheng Yunming's strict orders for his guerrilla warfare abroad, and Chen Jiao also knew that Zheng Yunming had let him out to carry out guerrilla warfare, but in fact, he had planted a lot of eyeliner around him. And the most ruthless thing about Zheng Yunming is to arrange his lieutenant general as an eyeliner, and the reward is that once Chen Jiao has any disobedience to military orders, the lieutenant can immediately report it and replace him.

Therefore, he couldn't be careful not to violate any of the rules set by Zheng Yunming, but fortunately, Zheng Guanren also understood that the general would not work in the foreign monarch's life, and there were only a few rules for Chen Jiao.

After dismissing the people, Chen Jiao led his servants all the way to the south, and it was impossible to continue his activities in the north with so many people, he had to return to the south. Not only did gunpowder and projectiles need to be replenished, but the soldiers also need to rest physically and mentally. Fortunately, the results obtained from this trip to the north are fruitful, and what awaits Chen Jiao must be a new promotion and reward.

But Chen Jiao knew better that what awaited the Zheng officials in Xiangyang City was a more difficult battle to defend the city.

When Zhao Kui rushed to the West City Gate, Zheng Yunming and Bai Yijie had been waiting here for a long time. Smoke and dust rose from the Mongol positions in the distance, and the flow of people in front of the fortifications was endless, as if a huge project was being built.

The siege battle was originally supposed to be a huge earthwork project no less than building a city. The Mongols did not understand this truth at first, so they were unable to attack the fortified cities of Zhongjing, Yanjing, Taiyuan and Fengxiang for a long time. However, after many years of experience in the Central Plains, they learned that they must mobilize enough manpower to capture the city. [End of Chapter]
