Chapter 115: Commander of the Coalition Forces

Hao 13 defeated the 60,000 army of Jiangbei Timur, which gave a great shock to the Mengyuan army in Jiangbei, and Chen Yexian, the defender of Chaoxian County, could not withstand the harassment of Li Pusheng's ten artillery, and heard that Timur was defeated, abandoned Chaohu, took the army, and went to Hanshan City, Li Pusheng occupied Chaoxian almost bloodlessly.

Chaoxian County was controlled by the Red Turban Army, and Li Pusheng was now joining forces with Hao Shisan, so Shi Nai'an used the power of the Chaohu Water Army to transport the trained new army, as well as grain and grass baggage, to Hezhou in a steady stream, and Hao Shisan's Red Turban Army soldiers were replenished and the military power was restored.

Sun Deya under Hanshan, attacked Hanshan for a long time, and Hanshan had Chen Yexian, also Timur's remnants of the army joined, Sun Deya felt that he had no advantage to occupy, and there was no place to go, so he also led the army to Hezhou.

In the old Mengyuan Pingzhang Mansion in Hezhou, Hao 13 feasted guests and friends to celebrate the great victory in Hezhou, Li Pusheng of Chao County, because he was joining forces with Hao 13, also came to participate in the banquet, Hao 13's banquet was unprecedentedly grand.

The seat on the left hand side of Hao Shisan, Li Pusheng was arranged in the first position because he partly represented the Tianwan regime and was the commander of the Shuixiong Alliance, the second position was Mao Gui, who had the greatest achievements in this battle, the third position was given to Yu Yanyu, the fourth position was given to Liao Yongan, and the fifth position was Sun Deya's turn. followed by the Yu brothers, Liao Yongzhong and other generals.

The seat on the right hand side of Hao 13, Shi Nai'an was arranged in the first seat because of his merits in raising grain and grass and baggage, and the second seat was arranged to give the most strength to sit in the disciple Shan Jun, and the second time was Hao 13 and 15 soldiers of the thousand household officials, Su Wei Thousand Households Disciple Shan Hu, Ranger Thousand Households Geng Zaicheng, Hu Dahai, Heavy Equipment Thousand Households Jiao Lu, etc., Yu Dechen also had his own seat because of the courage of this battle, sitting at the bottom position, next to Liu Bowen.

Wu Liujiu was injured on the battlefield, hanging an arm, standing beside Hao Shisan as the winemaker, he heard Hao Shisan cough lightly, comprehended, stepped forward and said loudly: "Everyone be quiet, the banquet begins, please oversee the wine." ”

Hao 13 stood up from the seat with a wine bowl, and the guests of the east and west also hurriedly got up, Hao 13 said loudly: "The Qingfeng army relies on all the heroes to come to help, so that the thirteen lucky, the victory over Jiangbei is also the first Timur, and the polite words of the thirteen will not say, this first cup of wine, to pay tribute to the brave martyrs of the Red Turban Army who spilled blood on the battlefield." ”

Hao 13 fought hard in this war, the loss of soldiers was around 6,000 people, and the battle loss ratio of Timur was equivalent to 1 to 10, fortunately the generals did not die, and most of them were wounded, Hao 13 himself was injured everywhere, and he was hit by three arrows and a knife, so it is necessary to sprinkle the martyrs.

Hao 13 and a civil and military general in the bowl of wine, sprinkled sacrifices to the dead soldiers, and then sat down, Hao 13 picked up the second bowl of wine and said: "Since we have formed a coalition army, we must elect a commander of the coalition army, and the governor will give orders to form a core combat force." The marshal Li Pusheng, Marshal Mao Gui, and Marshal Sun Deya here are all higher than the thirteenth in terms of age and seniority, so I am thinking that among the three, I will nominate one as the commander of the coalition army, I don't know what the three marshals want? ”

Hao Shisan is clearly already sitting in the position of the coach, and now there is a hypocrisy to push the position of the commander of the coalition forces, which seems unnecessary, but it is actually very necessary.

In the future, joint operations will inevitably be filthy, so Hao 13 must set out the words of several marshals, even if the swords and soldiers meet in the future, there are today's words, Hao 13 can be regarded as reasonable, responsible, and well-founded.

Li Pusheng hurriedly got up and pushed but said: "Pusheng can't do it, can't do it!" Most of the people here are the generals of the Red Turban Army on the North Road, Pusheng is the general of Tianwan, and Hao Dudu has promised that one day, there will be the whereabouts of His Majesty Zhiping (the year name of Xu Shouhui's Tianwan regime), Pusheng will definitely return thousands of miles, how can Pusheng occupy the magpie's nest as the commander of the coalition army? No matter who is the commander of the coalition forces, as long as he does not oppose my return to the Tianwan regime in the future, Pusheng will fully support it. ”

Li Pusheng's honesty, Hao 13 is relieved, such a loyal and courageous person will not do such a dirty thing, and he will break up in the future, and Hao 13 will also get together with him.

Xu Shouhui is not dead, but temporarily missing, even if Li Pusheng goes to him in the future, whether it is the Tianwan regime that returns to Xu Shouhui, or the Han regime of Chen Youliang, when they meet in the future, it can be regarded as an acquaintance in the other party's camp.

"Since Li Dashuai refuses to be the commander of the coalition forces, and Mao Dashuai is the first hero of this victory over Timur, I propose that Mao Dashuai be the commander of the coalition forces!" Hao 13 said.

Mao Gui also pushed back again and again: "No! Cannot! I just followed Li Dashuai (Xuzhou Sesame Li Er) to fight two days early, and followed Peng Dashuai and Zhao Dashuai (the two are Peng Da and Zhao Junyong, and they are also two of the eight people who first followed Li Erxiao County to raise troops) to fight, and Mao Gui is not competent to command these many soldiers and horses. If Hao Dudu still wants Mao Gui to stay and continue to kill the Tartars, Mao Gui is willing to follow Hao Dudu to fight, if he is pushed to the position of commander of the coalition army, Mao Gui can only return the original number of 2,000 soldiers and horses allocated to me by the Dudu, and I will take my 3,000 pikemen army and return to Liuhe! ”

At this time, Zhao Junyong had already attacked and killed Peng Zaozhu (one said that it was Peng Da, the other said that it was Peng Da's son), and became the supreme commander of the rest of the Xuzhou Army.

Hao Shisan was relieved when he saw Mao Gui's resolute words. He pushed Sun Deya and said: "Sun Dashuai is the oldest, so ask Sun Dashuai to be the commander of the coalition army!" ”

"Hey, hey!" Sun Deya said with a smile: "Since Li Dashuai and Mao Dashuai both pushed, then my old grandson is welcome!" Before he finished his words, Yu Yanyu on the side stood up in a hurry.

Sun Deya saw that the situation was not good.

Northerners, with a violent temper, say badly, and will be beaten.

He hurriedly changed his words and said: "I'm just laughing, Hao Dudu is the main army that defeated Timur first, and he occupies two big cities in Luzhou and Shouzhou, and the soldiers are good enough to eat, and this position of commander must be done by Hao Dudu." ”

"Good!" Hao Shisan's eyes flashed with a cold green light, and he said in his heart: "This cunning Sun Deya, it will be a scourge to keep sooner or later, I have to find a time to pick him up." ’

Hao Thirteen remained silent and said coldly: "Since the three respected marshals have all elected me as the commander of the coalition army, then Thirteen is disrespectful. But Thirteen has a word to say in his head. If you don't say goodbye, kidnap my food, baggage, and city, and even kidnap outsiders to seize my city, damaging the interests of the coalition army, don't blame Thirteen for turning his face ruthlessly. ”

"That's nature!"

"That's nature!"

The three marshals were in Hao Shisan's barracks, and when they saw that Hao Shisan's words were serious, they hurriedly echoed them.

Hao 13 saw that the three handsomes were full of promises, and said in his heart; 'Look how I will clean you up one day when you turn your backs on today's words,' but he said aloud, "Then we drank the second bowl of wine of the day." ”

(Note: Sun Deya-When Haozhou raised troops, he was promoted by Guo Zixing as the marshal, and there were constant filthy disputes between the two, and the reasons were different.) Peng Da, Zhao Junyong, Mao Gui Xuzhou defeated to vote, that is, the period of the five marshals of Haozhou mentioned in the "Ming History Taizu Record", the order of the five marshals is Peng Da (one says that Peng Da is dead, and his son Peng bites and steals his name), Zhao Junyong, Mao Gui, Sun Deya, and Guo Zixing.

Guo Zixing hugged Peng Da's thigh, Sun Deya looked unhappy, and instigated Zhao Jun to hit Guo Zixing and tie Guo Zixing to his home, according to the records of Ming history, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who turned the tide and saved Guo Zixing.

Peng Da, Zhao Junyong, and Mao Gui later 'coerced' (Ming history said so) Guo Zixing attacked Xuyi and Sizhou, and Sun Deya stayed in Haozhou, and later Sun Deya's food ran out and went to Hezhou to take refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang, it is said that Guo Zixing was angry because Zhu Yuanzhang took Sun Deya in. The fate of Sun Deya in history, 'it is said' that after Guo Zixing's death, Sun Deya wanted to seize Chuzhou and was attacked and killed by Zhu Yuanzhang. )
