Chapter 96: Frequent Spring
Although there are many available generals under Deng Yu's command at present, who would have too many top generals like Chang Yuchun who are brave and resourceful and have excellent martial arts!
When Deng Yu was secretly excited in his heart, Dong Qing continued: "This Chang Yu Chunyuan is a native of Huaiyuan County, Fengyang Prefecture, and because his family is poor, he often suffers from hunger, so he defects to Liu Ju, a green forest thief who is active in Huaiyuan and Dingyuan.

"Chang Yuchun followed Liu Ju to block the road and rob, enter the house as a thief, at first felt quite fresh, not only can eat meat in a big bowl, but also can share the silver taels, later, he found that Liu Ju is not faithful, often indiscriminately killing innocents, so he came up with the idea of finding another way out."
It's just that Chang Yuchun has never found the master in his mind, so he took a stick of like-minded brothers and temporarily lived in the Hezhou area. I heard from the brothers in the church that they had moved to Dingyuan two months ago. ā
"It's interesting to meet spring, ......" Deng Yu leaned on the city, looking at the mountains and forests in the distance, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he was already thinking about how to subdue this tiger general.
At this time, Li Ke put forward a different opinion: "Our army is about to face a life-and-death battle, and we need to kill chickens and monkeys to deter the surrounding Xiaoxiao, this Chang Yuchun dares to rob our army's grain and grass, it is really an unforgivable crime, why doesn't the marshal take the opportunity to exterminate him, so as to establish his authority!" ā
Li Ke was originally a Confucian scholar who read poetry and books, and instinctively had some contempt for bandits like Chang Yuchun, who were roaring in the mountains and forests and robbing the people, unless this bandit had a good reputation and was as famous as Dong Qing, he could get into Li Ke's eyes.
Dong Qing seems to know Chang Yuchun's personality quite well, he doesn't want Deng Yu to miss a good general, so he excuses Chang Yuchun and says: "Chang Yuchun plundered our army's grain and grass this time, it is likely that Captain Han Jizhen angered him when he was training to suppress bandits, as far as Dong knows, Chang Yuchun is a person with excellent martial arts, outstanding righteousness, and a few generals, the handsome is now at the time of employing people, rather than exterminating him, it is better to take him for his own use!" ā
A top fierce general like Chang Yuchun, where is Deng Yu willing to kill him, Dong Qing's words are exactly what he wants.
"Regardless of whether Chang Yuchun is worth collecting or not, he dares to rob Ben Shuai's grain and grass, if Ben Shuai ignores him, then where is Ben Shuai's prestige!" There was murderous aura in Deng Yu's tone, which made the left and right tremble slightly.
Failed to convince Deng Yu, Dong Qing was quite unwilling in his heart, so he cautiously asked: "Then according to the meaning of the marshal, is he planning to send troops to exterminate this Chang Yuchun?" ā
Deng Yue turned around abruptly, and ordered with a cold face: "If you capture the tiger, you will repair a letter for me and send it to Chang Yuchun, and order him to return the looted grain and grass within three days, and if you dare to lose a grain of grain and grass, Ben Shuai will send troops to kill him!" ā
Deng Yu's words were like a war letter, Dong Qing thought that Deng Yu had been provoked, and it seemed that the fall of Chang Yuchun was inevitable.
"My subordinates will repair the book!" Dong Qing sighed in his heart and retreated.
When he turned around, Dong Qing didn't notice a hint of a sly smile quietly passing across the corners of Deng Yu's mouth.
ā¦ā¦
At the junction of Dingyuan and Xuyi, there is a mountain called Jiashan, and at the mountainside of Jiashan, there is a village called 'Flying Tiger Village'.
At this time, there is jubilation in the Flying Tiger Village, there are more than 100 grain trucks crowded in the wide school yard, the cars are full of bags of grain, and more than 1,000 strong men are crowded in front of the car, and you push me to distribute grain and grass.
The one who was wearing black armor, holding a tiger-headed golden gun, standing high on the grain cart, and was looking triumphantly at the lively scene of grain distribution was Chang Yuchun.
Next to Chang Yuchun, a sturdy man in a red robe whispered worriedly: "Big brother, that Deng Yue is quite capable, killing tens of thousands of Tartars, even heroes like Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang can't help him, we are robbing him of his grain and grass now, will we get into trouble?" ā
Chang Yuchun snorted coldly when he heard this, and said disdainfully: "Lao Tzu doesn't care how much ability he Deng Yue has, we didn't provoke him, his generals actually want to train the army by exterminating us, I really don't know how thick the sky is, Lao Tzu wants to rob him of grain and grass, give him some color and see!" ā
"Then if Deng is more and more soldiers, how should we deal with it?" The red-robed man said worriedly.
The corners of Chang Yuchun's mouth were slightly upturned, and he said proudly: "Our Flying Tiger Village is built on the mountain, the terrain is dangerous, with these five thousand stone grain and grass, we can support it for a year or two, even if he Deng Yu sends troops to attack, what am I afraid of!" ā
As soon as Chang Yuchun's words fell, a little minion hurriedly ran over, claiming that Deng Yu had a letter delivered.
"It must be that Deng Yue saw the majesty of the eldest brother and took the initiative to write a letter to show his goodwill!" A small leader said happily.
When Chang Yuchun heard this, his face showed a hint of pride, as if he thought that Deng Yu's letter was indeed a gesture of goodwill, so he opened the letter unhurriedly.
It's just that Chang Yuchun only glanced at it a few times, and the smugness on his face suddenly disappeared, and his face became extremely blue.
"Return the grain and grass within three days, if there is one grain less, raze the Flying Tiger Village!"
There is only a short imperative sentence in the letter, which is not a letter of goodwill, but an ultimatum.
Chang Yuchun was immediately furious, tore the letter to shreds in a few clicks, and scolded in his mouth: "Good you Deng Yu, you dare to look down on me Chang Yuchun so much, this revenge is not avenged, and you are a good man in vain!" ā
As soon as these words came out, the entire school was suddenly silent.
Chang Yuchun twisted the tiger's head and stabbed the golden gun into the sky, and said sharply: "The whole army is assembled, Lao Tzu wants to break through Dingyuan City, and give Deng Yu a dismount!" ā
As soon as the order was given, more than a thousand men in the school city immediately boiled, waving their fists and weapons, and clamoring for a big kill.
Chang Yuchun saw that his subordinates were in high spirits, a proud sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, and he muttered: "Deng Yu, you must not have expected it, I Chang Yuchun will not sit still, let's raid your Dingyuan City first, hehe......"
In the early morning of the next day, at the head of Dingyuan City, Deng Yue stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the southeast direction, and his calm expression implied a bit of majesty.
The footsteps sounded softly, Dong Qing hurriedly went to the city, and said with a little surprise between his eyebrows: "Dashuai, scout returns, that Chang Yuchun really leads the elite in the village, and he wants to kill the far city!" ā
Deng Yu nodded slightly, everything was under his control.
After standing next to Deng Yu for a while, Dong Qing couldn't help but ask: "My subordinates don't understand, how did the marshal expect that Chang Yuchun would come to raid Dingyuan City?" ā
Three days ago, at the head of Xuyi City, Deng Yu ordered Dong Qing to write an ultimatum to Chang Yuchunxia, and then selected 3,000 elite foot riders, doubled the road, and secretly rushed to Dingyuan City.
At that time, including Li Ke, Hu Dahai, Lu Zhen and other civil and military personnel, they all thought that bandits like Chang Yuchun had plundered grain and grass to the sky, and they would never dare to openly attack Dingyuan City, so they were quite puzzled by Deng Yue's aggressive dispatch of troops to suppress bandits.
It's just that, judging from the information just got, the guess of the handsome Deng Yu is undoubtedly correct, which makes Dong Qing surprised in his heart.
