Chapter 18: The Blood Sacrifice (Part 2)

No matter how arrogant Ding Dexing was, he didn't dare to compare himself to Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, listening to Zhang Yi, in order to respect himself, he even scolded Chen Shou for scolding him, and he couldn't help but feel a warm taste in his heart, and he couldn't say any more superfluous words, followed behind the other party, and walked in with his chest high.

When he came to the meeting hall, he realized that the guy surnamed Yu was really not completely perfunctory to him, not only the chief and deputy commanders of the Fifth Army, but also the chief generals of other armies, such as Hu Dahai, Xu Da, Liu Ziyun, etc., were all present, including Mr. Su, who was firmly in the second place in the Huaiyang system, was also sitting at the same oval table with everyone at this moment, his eyes were red, like a hungry beast ready to choose people to eat.

Seeing this scene, Ding Dexing immediately knew that he was not qualified to attend, so he took the initiative to stop, saluted Zhu Chongjiu, and said loudly: "The late Ding Dexing, the commander of the pro-army under the account of Xianping Zhang, came to serve on the orders of the will, and did not know that the chief manager was raising the account to discuss the matter, and he broke in rashly, the crime is unforgivable, and Rong Mo will temporarily retreat outside the door, and take the initiative to come back later to receive the chief manager's punishment. ”

"The chief manager of Qiqi, Commander Ding has something important to see, Yi felt that he was not an outsider, so he brought him in, and if he was reckless, please forgive the chief manager." Zhang Yi was in a hurry when he heard this, and hurriedly opened his mouth to explain.

"Well, what are the words of Zhang Joiningjun." Zhu Chongjiu was slightly stunned, and then understood the other party's good intentions from Zhang Yi's eager gaze, chased after him with a smile, and grabbed Ding Dexing's arm from behind, "Where is General Ding going, since he has already come, hurry up and find a place to sit down, and the next thing is about to take advantage of your Hei Ding's bravery." ”

"The last general, the last general has just arrived, how good, how good, alas, since the general manager does not think the last general is vulgar, the last general sits, in the future, wherever it is useful to get the last general, I will never dare to resign" Ding Dexing struggled a few times in succession, but he did not have Zhu Chongjiu's strength, so he had to come to the table half-pushed and half-on-the-spot, and sat on the chair vacated in the lower position, and sat on half of his buttocks.

"You two sit too." Zhu Chongjiu waved his arm at Yu Tonghai and Zhou Jun very casually, and turned back to the position of the boss, "Chen Senjun, you can roughly introduce the current shape to the three of them again." ”

The last sentence was directed at Chen Ji, who joined the army, and the latter immediately stood up and agreed, "Yes." Immediately, the meteor strode to the map on the wall, pointed to the position below with a wooden stick and said, "According to the emergency military report received last night, Dong Thief Xiaoxiao, with the assistance of the Haikou Fang Guozhen, avoided the defense line of my Huai'an First Water Division, and landed at the mouth of the old river sixty miles west of Tongzhou, and then captured Taixing, and now the enemy army is advancing towards Taizhou 6, General Wu Yongchun has led the four brigades of the Fourth Army to meet the battle, but the enemy is outnumbered, and the pirates under the command of Fang Guozhen are proficient in water warfare, and the shape is very urgent. ”

"Boom." When Ding Dexing heard this, his mind immediately felt dizzy like a cannonball.

In order to block the 300,000 tigers and wolves under the command of Toto, most of the troops of the Huai'an army are concentrated on the northern front, and more than half of the warships of the naval division have also been transferred.

Once Yangzhou is lost, the Huai'an army will be attacked by the enemy, and the supply of grain, grass, and ordnance will all be cut off, and if you want to get out of the predicament, there is only one way to choose, abandon the Huanghuai defense line, and return to the south of the fire division, and defeat Dong Shuxiao before Tofu makes a correct response, and then turn back to meet Tok, looking forward to a new miracle from God.

was so frightened that he couldn't hold back, but he heard Chen Ji introduce loudly, "According to the emergency plan made by our army before, once the water defense line is broken by Dong thieves, the first fleet of the naval division will retreat to Yangzhou, and the fourth army will die to protect Jiangwan, and the other departments of the fourth army will decide to abandon those cities according to the actual situation, and exchange space for time. Make the final deal with Dong Junxiao. ”

"Hiss ,,。" Unconsciously, Ding Dexing put his palm on his mouth, biting, while gasping for air, the Huai'an army has long been prepared for this bad situation, it is definitely better than not prepared, but with Yangzhou and Jiangwan New City to defend it, it has already fallen into absolute disadvantage, at most it can ensure that the grain and grass in Yangzhou City and the workshops in Jiangwan New City do not fall into the hands of Dong thieves, but they can no longer continue to deliver materials to the northern line along the canal, and once the news spreads, the blow to the morale of the Red Turban Army on the entire East Road will also be very fatal, at least, Let Zhao Junyong and the others find enough difficult excuses at once to provoke internal strife first when the enemy is present.

"Therefore, our army's response plan is to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, to start faster than Toto, and to take the initiative to break the situation and disrupt Toto's proud deployment before the Fourth Army retreats to Yangzhou." After joining the army for so long, Chen Ji has been sharpened and very sophisticated, and he was not disturbed by the noise from Ding Dexing's side at all, paused, and continued to introduce loudly.

'Break the situation,' Ding Dexing was surprised when he heard it, but he didn't dare to ask, his eyes widened, and he asked for advice.

In the past, under the sesame plum tent, he also participated in many military meetings, but every time everyone was like a pot of porridge, and he had never been as orderly as the Huai'an army.

Fortunately, everyone didn't let him wait long, and soon, Zhu Chongjiu took over the leadership of the meeting, stood up, and asked Zhou Jun, who had just entered with him, "Camp Commander Zhou, how many brothers are left in your camp who can't see at night?" ”

"This" Zhou Jun was stunned for a moment when he was asked, and then he stood up and reported with his chest straight, "The general manager of Qiqi, the second battalion of the third regiment of the third brigade of the fifth army, has been following the instructions from above to feed the brothers fish and wild vegetables in the past few months, and there are only fifty-three people left blindfolded, and the other brothers, walking at night is not a problem." (Note 1)

"The situation is similar with the other battalions." The commander of the Fifth Army, Wu Liangmou's face, as proud as the battalion commander Zhou Jun, nodded, and quickly added on the side, "Our army has always focused on strengthening firearms and night attacks, and each battalion will regularly gather at night to go out for training, and the food is also based on the general manager's mention, mainly salted fish and wild vegetables. ”

"Hey, hey, hey" Hearing his words, many generals will laugh heartily.

Each army has its own unique skills, good at night fighting, is indeed a major specialty of the Fifth Army, who let the commander of this army is famous for drilling drainage ditches at night, the old line can not be lost, but the food to increase a large number of wild vegetables and salted fish, it is not the characteristics of the Fifth Army, since last year when the 600,000 hungry people in Yangzhou City were accepted, the Huai'an Army in order to save food, the tradition of eating sea fish and wild vegetables was formed internally, and now it is the end of summer and early autumn, if you do not first pickle the sea fish from the shore and then send it over, Could it be that the brothers still eat stinky fish every day?

"Our Fifth Army eats and eats a lot of salted fish, which is for the purpose of treating eye diseases for the brothers, not simply to save military rations." The commander of the Fifth Army, Shi Lu Deshan, was embarrassed by laughter, and took the initiative to speak out for Wu Liangmou to relieve the siege.

"Hehehe" Several other commanders chuckled and shook their heads, all of them felt that Wu Liangmou and Lu Deshan were blowing a bull, but after laughing, the tension in the council hall immediately eased a lot.

"Yu Tonghai, were you born in Jiaoxi before, and are you still familiar with the terrain over there?" Gently pressing his hand down, Zhu Chongjiuxun brought the conversation back to the topic.

"The last general, the last general was indeed born in Jiaoxi, my father, my father was the Daru Huachi of the Jiaozhou Navy Ten Thousand Households, and later, when he provoked the emperor, he was cut off his position and ran to Chaohu Lake as a water bandit." Yu Tonghai stood up with a red face and explained in a low voice.

He was originally a descendant of the Yuli Boya Wu clan on the grassland, his grandfather was the king of Wuping County, and he was an authentic Mongolian nobleman, who expected his father's generation, but he didn't know how to become the remnants of Yan Timur, and was first demoted to the Jiaozhou in Shandong Province to manage the nominal and dead sailors, and a few years later he was continued to study, deprived of his surname, and relegated to Hongze Lake to be a household, and the family suffered the humiliation of the local government.

Therefore, after Zhu Chongjiu defeated Huai'an, Yu Tonghai and his son simply turned their hearts to the red scarf, and soon after, because of their martial arts, they were both selected into the Guards Regiment and served as battalion commander and company commander.

This resume, including the experience of being a Mongolian but becoming an inferior slave, the father and son of the Yu family have always regarded it as a great shame, so they rarely mention it in front of people, and today they were suddenly asked by Zhu Chongjiu on his own initiative, and they were so embarrassed that they were embarrassed.

However, Zhu Chongjiu called him in to participate in the military discussion today, but not to track down his bloodline, nodded, and comforted with a smile, "Don't be nervous, your father and son's appearance on the battlefield in the past is obvious to all, as long as you are with everyone, no one will treat you as an outsider." ”

"Thank you, thank you for your kindness." Yu Tonghai's eyes suddenly turned red, he arched his hand, and stammered, "Subordinate, subordinate is willing to be crushed for the chief manager." ”

"There's a task for you right away, but it's not for you to be crushed." Zhu Chongjiu smiled and nodded slightly, "According to the intelligence department, King Yi has personally led the troops to participate in the battle, and is currently confronting General Wang Xuan in the Zhucheng area, Jiaozhou, Laizhou and other places behind him, each with 10,000 households, and 1,000 households are useless. (Note 2)

Note 1: Blindfolding, i.e., night blindness, was very common in ancient times due to malnutrition.

Note 2: In the official history, Mao Gui, the general of the red scarf, went straight to Jiaozhou from Haizhou on the Yangtze River, and then defeated the local defenders one after another with lightning speed, and then took the entire Shandong Peninsula.
