Chapter 220: Take a step back

Prestige is piled up by one victory after another.

In the eyes of the rebels who have already mentioned the knife, since the emperor is not a green onion, no matter what reputation and status of others is, he will not take it seriously. On the other hand, if you have been famous and you keep losing battles, you will be even more despised by them. And as long as you can lead them to victory, from one victory to the next, whether you are a beggar or a ruffian, they will treat you as a big hero, and they will become your firm pursuer, without hesitation.

The current Zhu Eighty-one is like this. At the beginning, Mr. Su and others followed him, purely to save their lives. Even when it came to the Battle of Xuzhou, everyone just thought that he would have some tricks and dare to fight. But with the arrival of one victory after another, the Huai'an army gradually grew stronger, and then dominated one side, and everyone's eyes on him changed. Zhu Eighty-one is no longer a clever craftsman, nor is he a butcher who dares to play with his life, but a true dragon whose destiny returns. Following him, not only can you save your lives, but also win the glory and wealth that your children and grandchildren will never consume in a few lifetimes.

As for Zhu 81's omissions in commanding the battle, all kinds of deviant ways in governing the localities, and all kinds of ingenuity when he was in charge of the situation, they have all become farsighted. I can't understand it because you don't have enough vision, not because Zhu Dudu is willful and nonsense. You can only keep up with it, not be clever and find faults. Time will prove that everything Zhu Dudu did was right, and your so-called cleverness is just a short-sightedness.

It can be said that now in the Huai'an army, there are only a few people who dare to question Zhu Eighty-one, including Lu Luzeng. And these few people are becoming more and more confused and less determined. Especially when he saw Zhu Eighty-one walking quickly with the spear shaft carrying the handsome flag of King Xuanrang in the cheers, his legs unconsciously followed. Only by following closely can we share this glory. And if you continue to hesitate and lag behind, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

The elation of the victorious battle soared, and the prestige soared. Those who have lost the battle are now depressed and confused. Under a small mound thirty miles away from the Huai'an Army, the two uncles and nephews of King Timur and Zhennan sat opposite each other, frowning.

Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and the two have not lost battles, when they crossed the river to quell the Jiqing Rebellion, they were also tossed by the rebels to the point of disgrace, all with experience and strong capital, only to finally drag down the other party, and turn defeat into victory. However, things like today, when I didn't even see the final decisive moment, and gave up completely, it was the first time in my life. Later, when they looked back, they both felt uneasy.

"The old man was at that time, the old man was at that time!" Timur didn't want to say anything to his nephew, he was not frightened at that time, but when the words came to his mouth, they turned into a heavy sigh. What's the use of saying this now, whether it was to preserve his strength at the time, or if he was really confused for a while. The catastrophe had already been done, with less than 50,000 of the 130,000 troops withdrawn from the battlefield, and half of them completely out of formation. Those who really still have the power to protect themselves are only the two Mongolian 10,000 troops and the more than 7,000 green troops under Zhang Mingjian.

"My uncle was right at the time." Tuohuan is more gentle if he doesn't come to peanuts, and he also sighed and comforted in a low voice, "The Han army and the Tanma Red Army have collapsed, but the red turban thieves are getting braver and braver. At that time, even if the Mongol army was put on top, I am afraid it would be useless! ”

"Yes, it doesn't help, it only increases casualties!" Timur nodded and continued to sigh.

Speaking from his heart, he withdrew the team, and it was really not necessarily greedy for life and afraid of death. But all of a sudden, no matter what you do, you lose the possibility of winning. Even if the Mongol army is also sent, it will be like the Tanma Red Army, which will be bombarded by the other party with fire guns and guns. And how many Mongols are there in total? Without any hope, he was thrown into a team of 10,000 people. The Mongols all over the world can afford to lose so much?

"The firearms of the Zhu thief are too powerful, in my life, I guess I have never seen such a sharp firearm over there!" As if he was making excuses for his uncle, he sighed and continued.

"Isn't it!" Xuan asked Wang Timur not to spend time on the Deng, and nodded vigorously, "The old man gave the Han army, in fact, he also equipped a lot of big guns, but as a result, they didn't even find a chance to ignite, so they were bombarded back with a big guns!" ”

"Our big gun can only hit thirty paces at the farthest, and it can't break through the armor!" Tuohuan didn't bother to grin, and shook his head again and again, "Their big bowl over there can hit seven hundred steps." And the projectile can also explode in the air, and it will be a large piece in one sweep, alas! The first time I saw it, I knew I couldn't win the battle today. However, after all, he was reluctant to break his wrist and lost so many brothers in vain, alas! ”

"Who's to say no, the old man should have removed the team earlier. Zhu Butcher has few soldiers, and he may not dare to chase too closely! Timur didn't think about it, sighed and agreed.

Uncle and nephew, every word you say, and I say a word, I feel that there are too many experiences that should be summed up in this battle. And the more I sum it up, the more I feel that the future is not bright. The firearms of the Huai'an army are too sharp, and the number of equipment has reached an astonishing level. Traditional tactics are of little use in the face of firearms of this size. And the previous news shows that the tall and thick city wall does not seem to be able to stop the footsteps of Zhu Butcher. The latter seems to have an innate ability to find a hole in a defensive facility and easily destroy it. Huai'an a few months ago was like this, Gaoyoubao a few days ago should be like this, and the next Yangzhou is probably also in a catastrophe.

Thinking that even if he returned to Yangzhou, it would be difficult to support him for a few days, and the king of Zhennan, Polo, became more and more worried. Fighting the Zhu butcher in an ambush again, I'm afraid it's impossible. The number and morale of his subordinates were unsustainable. And if the turtle retreats back into Yangzhou City and defends it with danger, it is actually not much different from the field battle. The same is that the Huai'an thieves bombarded indiscriminately with firearms, and they took their brothers to grit their teeth and hold on. was beaten unilaterally, and he didn't even have the strength to fight back.

"According to the old man's opinion, you might as well give up Yangzhou to him. Follow me to Luzhou! Guessing what his nephew was worried about, he announced that Wang Timur would not spend a lot of time and suddenly whispered.

"What?" Polo Buhua couldn't believe his ears, his eyes widened, and he asked loudly. "Are you trying to persuade me to flee without a fight? That's a crime of killing the head! The one in the capital, who has been worried about having no excuse to cut off my head all these years, is okay this time, I stretched my neck over myself! ”

"If you stay in Yangzhou and die in the city, will he miss you? Or will you pretend to find a wild seed to inherit for you, so that this person can inherit your incense? Timur suddenly became transparent without spending his mind, pursed his lips, and retorted with a sneer. Over the years, because our uncles and nephews have taken turns to occupy Yangzhou, how many times has he troubled us? King Weishun, old man, and you, the king of Zhennan, didn't you win a battle and get no reward, and you made it difficult at the slightest setback? You pretend to resist, and then throw Yangzhou to the traitors. Take your brothers to the old man, so that the court doesn't have to worry about you having money to rebel, and the old man and the two of you will join forces together, maybe they can hold Luzhou for a while longer. It's better than losing Yangzhou first, then losing Luzhou, and then losing like Timur, who is out of control! ”

These few sentences, although full of resentment, are all to the point. Because of the blood of Kublai Khan also flowing in his body, the king of Zhennan did not spend money, and was always regarded as a thorn in the side of the Great Yuan Emperor Tuhuan Timur. I wanted to eradicate the killer several times, but because of the laws of the court and the family laws of my ancestors, I couldn't find a suitable excuse. can only always change the way to make him angry.

And Yangzhou City, but it is one of the best gold caves in the world, and it is not necessary to spend money here, to have food, and to raise an army of 100,000 without any difficulties. In case of a crooked rebellion one day, coupled with the support of King Weishun and King Xuanrang, the three families will work together to shake the throne of Tuhuan Timur.

Therefore, in recent years, the imperial court has been trying to reduce the strength of the three uncles and nephews of Dehuan Buhua. And the three of them always retreated for the sake of the golden bloodline. But if you continue to retreat like this, there will be no retreat one day. At that time, it will still be a difficult choice whether to stretch your neck and let others slaughter you, or take a risk.

The crux of the whole problem is actually Yangzhou. Yangzhou is too rich, Yangzhou's position on the canal is too important, no matter who it falls into, the one in the capital will not be at ease. However, if you don't spend money and throw Yangzhou to the red scarf thief, it will be a hundred. Without the wealth support of Yangzhou City, there is definitely no possibility of rebellion. And the imperial court will inevitably fight with Zhu Butcher sooner or later anyway, so there is no difference between one more Yangzhou and one less Yangzhou.

As the so-called step back and open the sky, Xuan let King Timur say a few words without anger, but the eyes of the two of them lit up. That's right, anyway, the imperial court didn't want us to occupy Yangzhou, so it was to throw him to the red turban thief. As for which hero the emperor will give him to after Yangzhou is recovered by the officers and soldiers, that is the emperor's own business, and it has nothing to do with the two of them!

"It's just, it's just that after Zhu Butcher wins Yangzhou, he may not let Luzhou go!" Suddenly, it seemed that a burden of 10,000 catties had been lifted from his shoulders, and King Zhennan felt that his whole body was light. But seeing the dejected soldiers around him, his face became solemn again, "What if he chases him to Luzhou?" We still have to fight with him! ”

"First of all, there is not such a big canal near Luzhou!" Xuanrang Wang Timur looked around without spending any time, and responded in a low voice, "It's not so easy for Zhu butchers to transport grain and artillery!" Secondly, according to the old man's judgment, there are not many soldiers and horses under him, and swallowing Yangzhou is already the limit, and if he expands, he will have to support himself to death. Third, if he is not afraid of being strangled to death, it doesn't matter if he has to come to Luzhou. Our uncle and nephew will give him Luzhou and cross the river to find your uncle King Weishun. If he has the ability, he will continue to cross the river to chase! ”

"Of course, he can't cross the river to chase after him. But after losing Yangzhou and Luzhou one after another, what will the imperial court do with us? King Zhennan shook his head and smiled bitterly, his face full of helplessness.

Zhu Eighty-one couldn't catch up with him, but the messenger of the imperial court couldn. After some disposal, he still can't escape this catastrophe.

"Does he dare to kill you? It's okay if Timur doesn't spend 300,000 troops, he dares to treat you more strictly than Timur doesn't spend? It's a big deal, it's better to take away the kingship of you and me. Let's just go back to the grassland along the west. Herding sheep and hunting, leisurely and leisurely. As for the south, people don't want us to worry about it, so why should we make trouble for ourselves? ”
