That night, after discussing with Ye Dexin, Deng Yu decided to adopt the strategy of 'crossing the river in white clothes', preparing more than 30 fast boats, with Dong Qing as the commander, and selecting Shanshui soldiers to cross the river disguised as merchants and porters, and Deng Yu led the rest of the generals to lead the troops to respond. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Dong Qing received the order to lead the army, quickly selected Shanshui soldiers, crossed the river by fast boat that night, traveled by night and day, and finally arrived on the south bank at noon the next day.
Seeing that dozens of fast boats were approaching quickly, the Jiangyin Yuan army immediately rushed to the shore, twisted their knives and guns, stretched their bows and strings, and launched a fierce attack as long as there was a slight movement in the boats.
When the Wu army's speedboat reached a distance of 150 steps from the shore, it stopped, and the Yuan army guarding Jiang saw that the incoming ship was dressed as a merchant ship, and his tense nerves relaxed slightly, and he immediately sent five warships to intercept and interrogate.
Dong Qing was wearing a Shu brocade robe, and said with a smile on his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't misunderstand, we are all good people, and we are all doing business in Huainan and eastern Zhejiang on weekdays. ”
After Dong Qing finished speaking, he glanced at the two entourages beside him, and the two of them understood, and immediately took out two boxes of silver from the cabin, which at first glance were as many as thousands of taels.
Looking at the two boxes of silver ingots, all the soldiers who were checking were stunned, Dong Qing smiled even better, and said respectfully: "A little caution is not a respect, and I hope that all the military masters will be more accommodating!" ”
Shoujiang Yuanbing was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was fascinated for a while, and let Dong Qing's fleet anchor at the riverside.
Shoujiang Yuanbing was overjoyed, and Dong Qing and his party drank heavily, and at the second watch of the night, most of the Shoujiang Yuanbing were already drunk, Dong Qing saw that the time was ripe, and left the table under the pretext of excuse.
The night breeze was cool and blowing slowly, and there was a dead silence on the bank of the river, and only the sound of the waves hitting the shore could be heard.
After a while, the elite soldiers in the merchant ships anchored by the river came out and rushed to the guard post of the river, most of the soldiers in the guard post were drunk, and before they came to their senses, they were tied down one after another, and no one was lost.
After taking the Yuan soldiers defending the shore, Dong Qing sent people to take a fast boat to inform Deng Yu's army in the center of the river, and gathered all the captured Yuan soldiers together.
Dong Qing's face was cold, and he ordered the soldiers of the Wu army to line up in two teams, one team with swords and guns, and the other team with gold and silver.
Dong Qing first pointed to the group of Yuan soldiers armed with knives and guns on the left, and then said to the group of Yuan soldiers: "You have made a mistake in a big matter, if you are known by the Jiangyin guards, you will definitely die, since you will die sooner or later, it is better for this general to execute you one by one immediately, so that you can leave a whole corpse!" ”
As soon as Dong Qing's voice fell, a group of Yuan soldiers were so frightened that their souls were not possessed, and many Yuan soldiers cried and begged for mercy, Dong Qing saw that most of these people were rats who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and immediately felt certain in his heart, pointing to the four or five boxes of gold and silver on the right side and saying: "God has the virtue of a good life, if you are willing to open the gate of Jiangyin County for my Wu army, you can not only avoid death, but also get a fortune." Whether it is life or death, how to choose, this general will never persecute it! ”
As soon as these words came out, most of the Yuan soldiers shouted their wishes as internal responses without thinking, and only a small number of people shouted angry at the Yuan soldiers who defected.
Dong Qing smiled coldly, and threw a look at the commander of the team of soldiers and horses on the left, the commander understood in his heart, and gave an order, the soldiers of the Wu army armed with knives and guns pounced like hungry tigers, and in just a moment, they cut all the soldiers who were unwilling to defect into meat sauce.
The living Yuan soldiers were frightened, and immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but at this time, Dong Qing suddenly changed his expression, smiled brightly, said good words to appease, and gave gold and silver one by one, and rewarded them one by one.
These surrendered Shoujiang Yuan soldiers were secretly glad that they had saved their lives, and they suddenly got a lot of money, but they had no resistance in their hearts, and they all bluntly said that they were willing to die!
After the soldiers were fast, after the integration of the soldiers, Dong Qing led an army of nearly 2,000 people, drove a long way, and took Jiangyin County.
At the time of the fifth watch, the sky was slightly bright, Dong Qing ambushed the Wu army outside the city, leaving only more than 100 elite soldiers wearing Yuan army clothes and armor, controlling a group of soldiers, and ordering them to call the door under the city.
The soldiers defending the city recognized that the soldiers and horses under the city were their own soldiers and horses, and they did not doubt him, so they immediately opened the city gate, but as soon as the city gate was opened, this 'own army of soldiers and horses' swarmed in.
Entering the city gate, the overall situation has been decided, Dong Qing recruited Wu soldiers outside the city, and killed the county government in the city, the defenders in the city were killed by surprise, and the Jiangyin guards saw that the general trend had gone, and immediately led the crowd to surrender.
So, through the "plan to cross the river in white clothes", the army of Wu Guo crossed the Yangtze River secretly in two days without blood, and attacked Jiangyin County in one fell swoop.
Dong Qing was strict in governing the army, and in order to appease the people in the city, he sent an order to the army on the same day, and the military order was like this: "If there is anyone who kills a person in vain and takes a thing from the people, without exception, he will be killed!" ”
Dong Qing's military order came out, and the anxious people of Jiangyin suddenly became relieved, and then, Dong Qing asked the original officials of Jiangyin to temporarily remain in office, and the officials of Jiangyin were all overjoyed and did not resist.
At noon the next day, it rained rainingly, Dong Qing was leading dozens of horsemen to inspect the city gates, at this time, Dong Qing saw a Wu soldier taking the people's clothes to cover the armor to avoid the rain, and immediately shouted loudly, calling for the left and right to take down the interrogation.
That Wu soldier suddenly remembered the military order issued by Dong Qing, and hurriedly told Dong Qing that he was the old department of Dong Qing's former Blood Eagle Village, and begged Dong Qing to spare him for the sake of his long-term followers.
Seeing that the items taken by Wu Bing were not valuable, everyone came to persuade them, but Dong Qing had a cold face and shouted with a selfless attitude: "You don't need to persuade again!" Although this person is the general's old department, but the general's military order has been issued, this person knowingly committed, should be dealt with according to military law, not to mention that before the military law, everyone is equal, even if the general violates the military law today, he should be beheaded! ”
When Wu Bing heard this, he was like falling into an ice abyss, and he was cold, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "The general spares his life, the villain is worried about the rain and wet official armor, so he takes the people's clothes to cover it, not for personal use, and please read the feelings of the general!" ”
Dong Qing squinted at the tiger and shouted coldly: "Of course the general knows that you are trying to cover the official armor, but the military order is like a mountain, why didn't you see that the rest of the generals and non-commissioned officers were all wet, and you were the only one who broke the law!! ”
After drinking, Dong Qing ordered the beheading of Wu Bing who violated the order, and ordered someone to hold the head of Wu Bing who violated the order to pass on the whole army, and then collected the body of Wu Bing who violated the order, and buried him with his own hands.
As soon as this incident came out, the three armies were shocked, and everyone was in awe of Dong Qing, Dong Qing won the hearts of the army, and his reputation rose greatly, and he could be regarded as the most authoritative general among the generals of Wu State.
