North of Luzhou City, on the bank of Zishui.

Forty or fifty warships lined up a long line on the not wide river, and next to the shore where the two Huaishui divisions were located was a small village. There is a red flag fluttering on the camp, but what hangs on a watchtower in the middle of the camp is Zhang Shijie's flag.

Now the news that the imperial court is soft or ready to be hard has not yet come out, and Ye Yingwu does not dare to hang out his flag so blatantly, wouldn't it be true, so he still uses Zhang Shijie's banner now.

The Mongolian army attacked Luzhou, and the deputy envoy of Tongchuan Fulu, who was located in Luzhou, asked Zhang Shijie for reinforcements, and Zhang Shijie resolutely raised troops into Sichuan, which was common in ancient times when the battlefield was changing rapidly, and the court was thousands of miles away, especially when the enemy was the Mongolian cavalry who came and went like the wind, in fact, the generals in Sichuan and Shu had great autonomy.

Otherwise, after the Mongol army broke through Lin'an and the Southern Song Dynasty surrendered, Zhang Jue was still leading the armies of Sichuan and Shu to fight to the death.

In order to stabilize the generals of Sichuan and Shu, the imperial court often turns a blind eye to this kind of water division reinforcement, so Ye Yingwu is really hard to say when he comes out of Zhang Shijie's name. If Zhang Shijie is convicted together, I am afraid that Zhang Jue, including Zhang Jue, will be jointly listed, and I am afraid that Sichuan and Shu will also be unable to pass the decree at that time.

The fast horses galloped from the south and rushed directly into the camp.

A moment later, Ye Yingwu beat the drum to gather the generals.

In the last Zishui War, in fact, the losses of the Song army were not small, regardless of the water division, even on the land, in order to block Liu Quan's main army as much as possible, nearly half of the Luzhou soldiers led by Liu Xiong were buried in the skeleton field, and the six gates, Jinyi guards and Ye Yingwu's personal guards stationed at the cliff under Ye Yingwu, as well as those Luzhou soldiers who were urgently transferred, also suffered heavy casualties.

As a result, Ye Yingwu now has less than 1,500 foot horses available in his hands. But for Ye Yingwu, it seems that winning more with less has become a routine, which is definitely an alternative among the Song army, which has always been outnumbered but always hated to lose.

The generals hurriedly entered, and Ye Yingwu smiled and handed the letter in his hand to Wen Tianxiang who was close to the left: "Huangzhou is a great victory, Zishui is a great victory, this time Jia Rudao has finally lost a lot of money." ”

Liu Xiong, who was shot in the thigh by a stray arrow in the battle of Zishui, was still in bed in the camp to recuperate, so the camps were actually all generals of the Tianwu Army, so Ye Yingwu directly called "Jia Nidao" and no one felt that there was anything wrong.

After a slight glance, Wen Tianxiang also smiled: "Congratulations to the envoy." ”

Yang Bao and Jiang Tie also hurriedly came over, and smiles also appeared on their faces. The more than a dozen Hundred Battle Duyu Marquis and ten generals below were staring on tiptoe, but they couldn't see anything.

At the beginning of July of the second year of the Great Song Dynasty.

The official sage issued a decree to praise Zishui and Huangzhou for their meritorious service in the First World War.

Zhang Shijie, the commander of the two Huaishui divisions, led the army thousands of miles into Sichuan, defeated the northern Tartars, and made them frightened and fled in the wilderness.

The four compartments of the Tianwu Army are commanded by Su Liuyi, the deputy envoy, to lead the Tianwu Army to garrison Huangzhou, brave the rain and bloody battle for two days and nights, the sky is dark, the wind and clouds change color, when the same is the first merit, the first meritorious service, awarded the first regiment training envoy, the defense envoy along the river in northern Jiangxi, and rewarded one hundred taels of gold and one thousand taels of silver.

Xing** Tong sentenced Lu Xiufu to lead the Tianwu army to attack Qizhou, his resourcefulness, for the example of civil officials, awarded the northern Jiangxi along the river to pacify the envoy, the doctor of Zhongsan, the last silver thousand taels.

Fan Wenhu, the deputy envoy of the system along the river, also had merit in stabilizing the battle situation, but the battle ahead was urgent, and he did not think of assistance, regardless of his merits or demerits, but he ordered the remaining ships of the two Huai Naval Divisions to return to the Jianghuai.

Xia Song, the deputy commander of the two Huaishui divisions. Responding to the situation, taking the lead, and also having merit, rewarding 1,000 taels of silver and 20 brocades, and returning to Jiangzuo with Fan Wenhu.

Huangzhou Tong sentenced Wen Tianxiang to escape from the battle, removed him from his position, and reduced to a commoner.

Xing** Zhijun and Tianwu Army all commanded Ye Yingwu to sit in the rear, although there was no merit, there was hard work, and he was rewarded with 20 brocades and 500 taels of silver.

And the Tianwu Army and the two Huai Shui Divisions were also rewarded.

At the same time, Yi Xing** is "Xingzhou", Ye Yingwu still knows Xingzhou, and Lu Xiufu is still the general judge of Xingzhou. The newly established posts of pacification envoys along the Yangtze River in northern Jiangxi include five military offices in Huangzhou, Qizhou, Xingzhou, Jiangzhou, and Nankangjun.

The two wars of Huangzhou and Zishui, in fact, the biggest benefit is the Tianwu Army, and the places under the command and influence of the Tianwu Army have also increased from the original Xing**, Huangzhou, and Qizhou to five, not to mention that the administrative level of Xing** has also been upgraded to Xingzhou.

And the biggest loss is not Wen Tianxiang himself, for Wen Tianxiang, he was originally clothed, and being able to serve as the general judge of Huangzhou was just a means of transferring Ye Yingwu's henchmen from Jia Rudao at the beginning, and now that he has regained his cloth, he can serve as the head of Ye Yingwu's shogunate in a grand manner, don't look at him without an official position, but no one dares to despise him.

After all, Liao Yingzhong and Weng Yinglong, who were the last successful in Buyi's entry into the shogunate, are the best examples.

The biggest loss should actually be the two Huai Shui Divisions, the two Huai Shui Divisions from the deputy capital to the bottom half of the main elite were taken away by Fan Wenhu, and Zhang Shijie, the two Huai Shui Divisions, also turned into the Jinghu Water Division.

But it's okay, those who can be bought by Fan Wenhu are all those who are not determined among the two Huai Shui Divisions, Fan Wenhu took away all these unreliable people, and the rest are really dependable, with Ye Yingwu's ability, it is not impossible to help Zhang Shijie start anew.

So Zhang Shijie, who rushed over after receiving the news, sighed, but didn't say anything.

Ye Yingwu's gaze swept over the many generals below, and he said coldly: "How to reward is secondary, even if the official family does not reward, will a certain Ye Yingwu treat you badly?" But you all have to think about whether you have the life to go back and receive this reward. ”

Yang Bao and Jiang Tie, Ye Yingwu's left arm and right arm, the two generals of the guard, stood up at the same time: "A certain one must live up to the expectations of the envoy!" ”

With a cold smile, Ye Yingwu looked at the map behind him: "Liu Cheng suffered this defeat, although he hurt his vitality, but it has not really reached the point of breaking his muscles and bones. According to the news sent from the front, in the past two or three weeks of repairs, Liu Quan's command has gathered 5,000 cavalry to prepare to go south, and there are still 5,000 soldiers stationed in Tongchuan Mansion. Su Niang, tell me how General Zhang of Chongqing Prefecture replied? ”

Yang Xu, who had been standing beside Ye Yingwu without saying a word, hurriedly stood up: "Qiqi envoy, General Zhang has led 100 naval warships and 20,000 foot cavalry to the north, ready to oppress Tongchuan Mansion at any time, but please enable you to lead the army to drag Liu Quan." It's just that the Mongolian army in Chengdu Mansion has also been alarmed, and tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry and five or six thousand Mongolian Han troops are also ready to support Tongchuan Prefecture. ”

The trend of several armies was quickly marked on the map, and it can be clearly seen that around the Tianwu army in the north of Luzhou City, the entire Dongchuan has been waiting for it!

Even the defenders of Luzhou began to move north one after another, behind Ye Yingwu, and grain, grass, arrows, and firearms were continuously sent to the front of the army from Luzhou and other places. If there is a storm in the whole of Dongchuan, then the Tianwu Army is now at the center of this storm.

Farther away, under the city of Xiangyang, Ashu, who was once again deflated in Huangzhou, completely abandoned the strategy of encircling Xiangyang by detour, and more and more Mongol troops gathered from all directions, and slowly pressed forward.

As for the two Huai, thousands of miles away, Li Tingzhi was also training men, and the Southern Song Dynasty sailors were constantly crossing the sea to harass the Mongol state capitals in Shandong.

Throughout the Song-Mongolian border, an army of more than one million has been swords-rattled. Although he knew that in fact, with the strength of the two countries, he could only maintain a large-scale conquest on one battlefield, but at least in other battlefields, the defensive or offensive posture of the other side had to be put on a posture after all.

"Where has General Gao been?" Ye Yingwu turned to look at Wen Tianxiang.

has been in the military for a long time, although he has always been in the rear army, Wen Tianxiang has also added a bit of heroism, plus he is now wearing a black robe, naturally he is also murderous, no worse than the aura of several other generals:

"Envoy Qi, General Gao's rear army has left the city, the front army is less than five miles away from here, and the middle army under the command of General Gao is ten miles out of the city. Along the Zishui Tong, there were also more than 20 warships left behind by the two Huaishui divisions before. ”

After all, the will of the imperial court has not yet been sent here, so it is still called the two Huai Shui Divisions, but Zhang Shijie's face is naturally a little gloomy.

Ye Yingwu nodded lightly, Gundam also led six or seven thousand foot soldiers to come this time, but the combat power of these foot soldiers was not as good as those Luzhou soldiers before, but fortunately, the number of people had faintly overwhelmed Liu Quan.

It's just that it overwhelmed Liu Quan, after all, there are still a large number of Mongolian troops in the direction of Chengdu Mansion ready to rescue at any time, and only by waiting for Zhang Jue's army to rush north can he take advantage.

"Report!" A herald hurriedly ran into the tent, "Envoy Qi, the sentinel in front has noticed that Liu Quanyu's naval division is assembling and is ready to go south at any time, and the number of ships of General Zhang's naval division is far from enough, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with." ”

Ye Yingwu was stunned and looked at Zhang Shijie, although Zhang Shijie's water warfare skills really didn't dare to compliment, but at least here he was a little familiar with water warfare.

"Tongchuan Mansion is still some distance from Chongqing Mansion, and if Liu Quanyu Shui wants to go south, it is unlikely that he will not work for three or four days. However, in any case, Liu Quanshui has always been in the upper reaches, which is naturally unfavorable to my Great Song Water Division. Zhang Shijie hurriedly said, "If you can lure Liu Quanshui to the river, maybe it's okay." ”

Ye Yingwu's gaze immediately shifted to the map, Zishui entered the river from Luzhou, and Yushui entered the river from Chongqing Mansion, if Liu Quanshui's division was lured to the river, although the Song army's naval division could be smooth, it also meant that Luzhou or Chongqing Prefecture would be under the threat of Liu Quan's army.

Stretched out his hand and knocked Luzhou hard, Ye Yingwu gritted his teeth and said: "Luzhou, let this Luzhou become the place where Liu Quan buries his bones!" Let's go, go and find General Gao. There are also Tianwu army sentinels who are all scattered, and they must find out the whereabouts of Liu Quanshui Division and the land foot cavalry! ”

Although Zhang Jue's Chongqing Mansion is weak, after all, it is heavily garrisoned, and the city is high and the grain is thick, and more importantly, it is far away from Chengdu Mansion, and it is difficult to have reinforcements, so for Liu Quan, either he will not come, or if he comes, he will definitely attack Luzhou, because this is not only the place where he made his fortune, but also the place where he is humiliated.

When he was driven by Lu Wende like a lost dog to flee north in a hurry, Liu Quan has been unforgettable, and he will never let go of the hatred with Jia Yidao. If you can be ashamed of the snow in Luzhou City, it is a good choice.

――――――――――――――――――――－

Song Kuizhou Road, Kuizhou.

Ye Yingwu once passed through Kuizhou and did not enter, which does not mean that he does not pay attention to this city that is the gateway to Sichuan and Shu, it is precisely that Kuizhou is an important town where the six gates and Jinyiwei concentrate their activities. You must know that when it was first formed, the six doors were inside, and the Jinyi Guard was outside, which can be said to have a clear goal, but there were also several state capitals because of the importance of their location, so the six doors and the Jinyi Guard were available, so that the information collected was more detailed, and it was considered that there were two intelligence networks, even if one was destroyed, there was another.

A fast boat slowly approached the Kuizhou wharf, and a man in cloth stood at the bow of the boat in the wind, just carefully studying the scenery on both sides of the strait.

"Sir, Kuizhou has arrived." A shirtless man walked from behind the boat.

"Well, let's go ashore." The man in cloth breathed a sigh of relief slightly, with a hint of hesitation and a hint of determination in his eyes. After all, this is Kuizhou, and the power in his hands is too weak in this state capital thousands of miles away, but Ye Yingwu's minions should have a lot in the open and in the dark, and this is not more cautious than Longxing Mansion.

A few short servants in cloth clothes had already hurriedly ran over from the dock: "I don't know if there is a big official Long on the boat ahead?" ”

The man in cloth smiled and nodded, although he was more panicked in his heart, but he couldn't fall off the shelf in front of these subordinates, otherwise it would really be a big mess of the army. Several strong men surrounded him and walked down from the ship, although they were all shirtless, but they could see that there were some swords hidden under the shirt tied around his waist.

Several small servants also breathed a sigh of relief, and the leader hurriedly stepped forward: "Please also invite the big official Long to come with the little one, a certain shopkeeper has already reserved a room for the big official in the building, and the big official Long can go to sit and rest first." ”

The man in the cloth still smiled slightly, and the group disappeared around the corner of the dock street. And behind them, in the shadows of several boats on the dock, a young man who was also dressed in cloth slowly stood up, he had been squatting there just now, if he didn't look closely, I am afraid that he really couldn't find it.

Another old man walked over and patted the young man on the shoulder: "Let's go, and accompany the little old man to have a drink." ”

The young man nodded, stretching in the sun: "It's idle on this dock today, there's nothing to do, go and drink a cup, is this young man still afraid of you old man." ”

With that, the young man said hello to his brother who was lying lazily not far away, and followed the old man. Several other strong men carrying bags looked at the young people who were far away, looked at each other and smiled, this Li San, there is still someone to accompany him to drink and mess around all day long, although it is just a gray-haired old man.

When he walked down the street, the old man looked at the young man and said in a soft voice: "Really? ”

Li San smiled bitterly: "I can't see it clearly from a distance, and I just saw the portrait, but along the way, those little guys have been calling Long Daguanren, I'm afraid that there will be seven or eight." ”

"Let's take a look first, is there any change on the Jinyi Guard's side?" The old man's voice was still inaudible, "I saw that the brocade guards on the dock didn't move, didn't they see it?" ”

Li San's heart suddenly cold, pulled the old man, the old man also realized that something seemed wrong, the two hurriedly flashed into the alley on one side, don't look at the old man is not young, but his legs and feet are very sharp, three times and two times the two have disappeared without a trace.

And when the other figures appeared in the alley, the air left the wind to blow the bluestone slab to bring a slight coolness.

"These two guys are really cunning." The alley was empty, and the strong man in the lead couldn't help but snort coldly.

It's just that the sound of footsteps immediately sounded behind him, followed by the sound of the bow and crossbow breaking through the air!

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind, but unfortunately the praying mantis does not catch the cicada, but the yellow finch has already raised its head to the sky and roared, flapping its wings.
