Chapter 145: Capture Wuchang
Knowing that Zheng Wanhu, the defender of Hanyang City, was here, Xingji was very happy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Kuanche didn't spend the father and son throwing up his sleeves and leaving, and he didn't care about the life or death of Wuchang Mansion at all.
"Lord Zheng, I only have five thousand defenders here to drive!" As soon as he saw Zheng Wanhu, Xingji didn't care about anything else, and came directly to his face, which startled Lao Zheng.
Zheng Wanhu was immediately stunned, it stands to reason that he is a criminal minister of the Yuan Court, how can he seem to be Xingji's savior.
Fu Youde, who was on the side, hurriedly poked Lao Zheng and reminded in a low voice: "My lord, Lord Pingzhang is talking to you!" ā
"Ahh
Lao Zheng reacted suddenly, and hurriedly bent over and said: "The lower official is guilty, the lower official is guilty!" ā
Now pointing to Zheng Wanhu to lead the troops to defend the city, Xingji didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly appeased him with kind words, and finally let Zheng Wanhu go to a few thousand households to negotiate with him.
The people who had just lost the city and ran over took care of them, and several thousands of households were immediately dissatisfied, but they still pretended to be very obedient on their faces.
Since he has taken over the important task of guarding the city, Lao Zheng will naturally not be polite, thinking that it is the same as when he was in Hanyang, so that people are used to it, and they are also arrogant, which makes several thousands of households grit their teeth with hatred.
Fu Youde, who was patrolling the city wall, suddenly saw a thousand households coming towards him, and was about to salute, but saw that the thousand households looked at him again and again, and immediately felt a heartbreak, pretending to be very normal in the past.
The Qianhu looked around and said in a low voice: "At midnight, I'm waiting for the general here!" ā
The one named General Fu Youde has no one else except the Red Turban Army.
Fu Youde immediately understood, it turned out that there were people in the White Lotus Sect who had mixed up with the position of a thousand households.
At midnight, the two of them were at the corner under the city wall, and the Qianhu clasped his fists and whispered: "General Fu, how offended, please forgive me!" ā
It shows that this person's position in the White Lotus Sect is not high, so he is so respectful to Fu Youde.
Fu Youdeqi said: "Who are you?" ā
The Qianhu hurriedly said: "The villain's name is Xu Jia, and I heard Zou Junshi preach in the ninth year of Zhizheng!" ā
Unexpectedly, there were actually their own people from the White Lotus Sect here, Fu Youde was very happy, and hurriedly said, "I will recommend you to Li Junshi later!" ā
Xu Jia was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. Now Li Xingze's name makes the Yuan army frightened, and he takes this opportunity to make meritorious contributions, not to mention that he can escape from the clutches of the Yuan army.
Fu Youde asked, "Is there any way to take this Wuchang Mansion!" ā
Xu Jia said with a smile: "Actually, General Fu doesn't have to worry at all, I can let go of the city gate by guarding one gate alone, and the other thousands of households are very dissatisfied with Zheng Wanhu, we can take the opportunity to get rid of him!" ā
"Oh?"
There is also this kind of thing, Fu Youde hurriedly asked, "How to do it?" ā
Xu Jia hurriedly told Fu Youde the results of the discussion among several thousand households in the afternoon and the overall plan to frame Zheng Wanhu.
Fu Youde agreed: "I'm looking for an opportunity to send a letter outside the city, don't be anxious!" ā
......
After Meng Haima received the letter from the king, he took the initiative to lead an army of 30,000 from Xiangyang to Xinye.
Although he was puzzled, he did not leave Dengzhou, after all, the marshal ordered him to stare at the king's power, and of course he did not dare to relax a step.
After Zhang Chun led 20,000 Dengzhou Red Turban Army to Xinye, he joined forces with Meng Haima and arrived in Tangzhou in less than half a day.
The morale of the two armies was high, and the Dengzhou Red Turban Army was blocked for too long, and it had long been holding back a fire, and this siege was like a tiger out of the cage, and in less than an hour, Tangzhou, which was only guarded by a thousand Yuan soldiers, was captured.
Meng Haima did not delay and said goodbye to Zhang Chun. Because next, Li Xingze's next goal needs his cooperation, and he will go south directly from Jingmen to Jiangling.
The stabbing commander didn't expect that the Dengzhou Red Turban Army would actually bypass Nanyang Mansion and go straight to Tangzhou, which was weakly defended, and he was a little panicked.
If it goes on like this, the arrow will be besieged by the Red Turban Army on several sides, not to mention, and it is possible to be trapped in the encirclement, so he hurriedly summoned the loss of Badulu, hoping for reinforcements as soon as possible.
......
At this time, Xingji received a decree from the Yuan court to let him take the position of Dasi Nong.
Don't think about it, the prime minister is still very nostalgic, knowing that at this time, Xingji can't resist the Red Turban Army at all, just to let him get out as soon as possible.
Xingji, who got the will, did not delay for a moment, and immediately went north to Dadu, and no longer cared about anything in Wuchang Mansion.
"Lord Wanhu, there is news that you have a relationship with the red turban thief, what do you say?"
As soon as Xingji left, several Qianhu came to trouble Zheng Wanhu, and one of them said coldly.
Zheng Wanhu didn't think much about it, but the attitude of these people took a 180-degree turn, which caught him a little off guard, and he sneered at the moment: "You also believe the rumors, but you know that when Ben was in Hanyang, Don't Timur relied on me to defend the city!" ā
Fart, this Zheng Wanhu is really shameless, he used other Timur to scare people, you know, King Weishun also ran away completely regardless of the safety of Wuchang Mansion.
At present, Wuchang Mansion does not even have a garrison commander, and the next step is not the territory of Qianhu, Xu Jia actually did not listen to Zheng Wanhu's defense, and shouted: "Arrest it!" ā
A few Yuan soldiers quickly came in and surrounded Zheng Wanhu.
Looking at the faces of these people, Zheng Wanhu instantly understood, I am afraid that the conviction of these people is false, and the seizure of power is true.
Lao Zheng, who has been in power for many years, pulled out his waist knife and threatened: "You don't want to be blinded by the immediate interests, you know, now I am the highest commander here!" ā
"Hanyang? I'm afraid you gave it to the Red Turban Thief! Then he stepped forward and said disdainfully: "You are still waiting to do something, arrest me!" ā
Hanyang City is impregnable, the soldiers are full of food, and even the city is tightly blocked, how can the thief army be able to capture it for a while, if there is no bit of greasy, who would believe that with the combat power of the Huangzhou Red Turban Army, it can be defeated so quickly.
couldn't help but say, several Yuan soldiers stepped forward to set up Zheng Wanhu.
Now without Xingji's support, Zheng Wanhu is just a foreign general, who will listen to his orders in the Yuan army in Wuchang Mansion.
At this time, Zheng Wanhu panicked and said again and again: "Brothers, are you mistaken!" ā
There was already a hint of softness in his words.
Among them, a tall and powerful Qianhu stepped forward with a kick, kicked Zheng Wanhu to the ground, took a sip, and scolded: "Who is your brother, be honest, you commanded the brothers to be busy, have you ever thought that we, the old brothers who have guarded Wuchang Mansion for many years!" ā
Zheng Wanhu was sent to prison, and Xu Jia took the opportunity to incorporate Fu Youde into his subordinates.
At present, there are five thousand households, guarding the five city gates, and there is nothing to do, but now there is no one in charge in the city, and they began to think about how to eliminate dissidents and finally take the matter of Wuchang Mansion.
Since Xingji left, Zheng Wanhu went to prison again, these thousands of households became presumptuous, and the people under them were constantly rubbing against each other, and in just a few days, there were more than a dozen group fights between swords and soldiers.
......
Just when Li Xingze took advantage of the civil strife in the Yuan army and was too busy to take care of himself, when he got Xu Jia and others to secretly open the city gate, he successfully attacked Wuchang Mansion.
The Huangzhou Red Turban Army did not exert much strength, at this time Wuchang Mansion was already in chaos, and several thousands of households had already shot frequently, until the Red Turban Army attacked, they did not even have the strength to counterattack, and fled in the wilderness.
"What are you thinking?" Zhao Pusheng knew that the next thing was Chuyang, after all, that was the goal at the beginning, mainly because of the warships over there.
Li Xingze was also in the prefect's yamen, pondering and meditating for two days, always worrying about the affairs of Jiujiang Mansion, whether to help the fight there first, or to capture Chuyang first on his own side.
Li Xingze was puzzled: "Uncle Shi, what do you think of the affairs of Jiujiang Mansion?" ā
If the battle line is lengthened, it will inevitably affect the entire battle situation, and if Jiujiang Prefecture is not taken, then Huangzhou will face the threat of Kuchunger from the south at any time.
At the beginning, when Meng Haima was united to capture Jiangling, it must be two ways of men, without Chen Youliang's assistance, it would inevitably be a protracted battle, which was undoubtedly fatal for the Red Turban Army that lacked time.
After Li Xingze shook his head and threw out the messy thoughts in his mind, he made up his mind and said: "Regardless of them, let's build our water army first!" ā
Since Li Junshi said so, then the next step is to attack Chuyang, and Zhao Pusheng immediately prepared soldiers and horses and other things.
......
"Zilkdon, you take two thousand archers and cover Buha!"
When they knew that the news from Igu Lunshi from the dark line and the idea that the Huangzhou Red Turban Army not far from them to the east was attacking the idea of Chuyang, they pulled the defender Zilkedun and the Xuanfu envoy Buha to discuss countermeasures together.
Zilkton nodded and said, "Buha, you need your five thousand elite soldiers to resist head-on!" ā
Buha immediately clenched his fists and took his life, and the key to this victory and defeat depends on how Igu Lunshi copied the back of the Red Turban Army.
Igu Lunshi said worriedly: "That 'demon Dao' Li Xingze is really powerful, I'm worried that I won't be able to lure him!" ā
This Li Xingze, almost every time to lure the Yuan army over, and then ambush it, this set of tactics is not unfamiliar to several people, but they plan to ambush the Huangzhou Red Turban Army this time.
Zilkedun thought about it carefully, and then proposed: "Can we do this, when Li Xingze arrives in Shahu Town, besiege it on three sides, and then retreat to Longhua Mountain to fight with it!" ā
Igu Lunshi nodded and said, "I think it can work, the question is, when does this Li Xingze plan to come over?" ā
Zilkedun smiled bitterly: "I got a letter from Wuchang Mansion two days ago, saying that it has been captured by that Li Xingze, count the days, the red turban thief is coming, it is the kung fu of the past few days!" ā
"Alright, let's get ready to send troops!"
......
Just as Li Xingze was about to leave, Zhao Pusheng suddenly broke in, and said with a nervous expression: "Senior nephew, Miss Ma urgently recruited you to Gwangju, saying that there is something important!" ā
At this time, Li Xingze was also a little stunned when he suddenly made such a mistake, and immediately asked casually: "As for no, it's not life and death, do you still need us to help?" ā
Zhao Pusheng explained: "This time the opponent is very powerful, the Yingzhou Red Turban Army has been defeated again and again, and the eldest lady said that she can't hold on!" (To be continued.) )
