beheaded Bolo, captured Hong Chengchou, killed more than 56ooo Tartars, Liu Liangzuo's troops surrendered, more than 35ooo, killed 15ooo, and captured 2oooo. In addition, Liu Liangzuo surrendered, and a total of 53 generals were either killed or captured. Of course, as the victorious side, it also paid a considerable price, especially the people of Yangzhou alone, there were 20,000 or 30,000 casualties. More than 1,500 Huguang troops were killed, more than 300 sailors, and Liu Zhaoji's subordinates lost more than 3,000 people.

Of course, from the overall point of view, there is no doubt that this is a hearty victory, and it directly shook the entire Jiangnan.

In the past, the war in northern Henan was more fruitful, but it was too far away from the people of Jiangnan, but the battle of Yangzhou was under the nose, once Yangzhou was occupied, the entire Jiangnan was exposed to the Tartar soldiers, just thinking about it, it made people's scalps numb.

Therefore, after hearing the news of the victory, every household in Jiangnan was more excited than the New Year, and some people took the initiative to fund to build new words for Gu Zhenhua, burn incense and worship, and worship like a god.

From the people to the officialdom, a strong whirlwind blew up, demanding that Gu Zhenhua be crowned and rewarded for meritorious soldiers. A large number of middle- and lower-level scholars and bureaucrats began to publicize for Gu Zhenhua, and Jiangnan was boiling lively.

Just when they were tossing, Gu Zhenhua had already led his men and horses to Huai'an, and Shen Tingyang and Zhao Tian took the victorious soldiers out of the city for ten miles to greet them.

"Grandpa Guo! Congratulations to you! ”

Gu Zhenhua said with a smile: "You cut Bolo, it should be me to say hello to you!" ”

Shen Tingyang said with a smile: "It's all the wise arrangement of Grandpa Guo, if you don't think of attacking from the sea, I'm afraid we won't be able to make a contribution." Besides, it's not for this matter, a clipper has just arrived from Jiangnan. I heard that the imperial court has a motion to be crowned king, and it won't be long before we will honor you as the prince! ”

Zhao Tian also smiled: "Why don't you change your words now, but I don't know what kind of prince the court is for, it's a two-character king." is still the king of one word, can it be hereditary, there is a university question here. ”

Zhao Tian said, his eyes rolling, obviously he really used some effort.

Shen Tingyang said: "Don't care so much, you have to fight back to the capital in the future." Driving the Tartars out of the customs, there are countless feats waiting for them, and sooner or later, one day our prince will become the first hero since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. As the saying goes, birds fly away with Luan and Feng, and if we grab the wings of Grandpa Guo, we will fly! ”

Shen Tingyang said a few words, which made all the big guys laugh. His face was full of hope.

However, Gu Zhenhua waved his hand: "The victory of Jiangnan is not in Gu Zhenhua, but in the people of Jiangnan, in Yan Yingyuan, in Liu Zhaoji, in Huang Degong, in Hu Maozhen and other military and civilian generals. It was by their bloody struggle that they dragged the Tartars for two months. An ** can calmly dispatch and win the victory at the minimum cost. This credit belongs to everyone, and Benjue has drawn up a list of meritorious personnel, and Yan Yingyuan and Huang Degong are tied for first place. ”

Yan Yingyuan followed behind Gu Zhenhua, and when he heard this, his heart suddenly became hot, he didn't expect Gu Zhenhua to put himself in such an important position, so he hurriedly bowed down and saluted.

"Grandpa Guo, the humble position is just a small official, and it was you who promoted the humble position to the prefect of Yangzhou. In the middle of the war, it was you who sat in Yangzhou, which gave you the courage to humble your position, otherwise you are afraid that your humble position would have been urinated a long time ago, and you really dare not bear it! ”

"Hahaha. Lord Yan, don't be polite, whether you are leading the troops or adjudicating the government, you can be called a good hand, both civil and military. Benjue wants you to serve as the governor of Henan and help me watch the Central Plains, as for Lianghuai, let Chen Qianfu come over. ”

Henan?

Yan Yingyuan was taken aback, that was Gu Zhenhua's lair, and the governor of Henan was in the system of An**, he was almost the first civil official, what an honor!

Compared with being listed as the first place in the meritorious service, this gold content is too high!

"Grandpa Guo, how can you be humble, how can you be humble, don't dare to accept it!"

Yan Yingyuan bowed to the ground, but Gu Zhenhua smiled and said: "Lord Yan, this job is not so easy to do, when Benjue did a lot of recklessness in order to unify the power of Henan, he left a lot of sequelae, you have to solve the trouble." As for Chen Qianfu, let him come to Lianghuai, he also has to do dirty work, and those salt merchants should also be rectified! ”

Only then did Yan Yingyuan understand that this grandfather was going to make a big move again, and he wanted to act as the knife!

"Grandpa Guo, you treat each other with sincerity, and do your best to ensure that you live up to the trust of Grandpa Guo!"

With only a handful, Gu Zhenhua has already controlled Henan, Huguang, plus today's Jianghuai, as well as some prefectures and counties in southern Shaanxi and Shandong, with a population of tens of millions. If you can integrate the strength, let alone fight against the Tartars, even if you sweep the world, Gu Zhenhua also has this strength.

Therefore, Gu Zhenhua thought of solving internal problems, laying a solid foundation, and preparing for a real leap into the sky.

However, to carry out drastic internal affairs reforms, there is another big problem, that is, to solve the siege of Xuzhou and drive Azig back to the north of the Yellow River!

After Gu Zhenhua entered Huai'an, he counted the personnel and materials as soon as possible and prepared to continue north.

At present, Gu Zhenhua has 14,000 Huguang troops in his hands, Zhao Tian and Luan Hu's subordinates, less than two regiments, and a battalion of artillery Tan Xingming, adding up to more than 4,000 people. There are 5,000 sailors, 5,000 in Liu Zhaoji's department, and more than 10,000 scattered people along the way.

All of them are nearly forty or fifty thousand people in Gu Zhenhua's hands, and in terms of those with real combat effectiveness, there are more than 20,000, and it is enough to relieve the siege of Xuzhou.

However, with so many people and horses, it is necessary to eat and drink, and logistics and supplies are also very critical, at least to keep up with the food.

When it came to food, Zhao Tianxing rushed to take Gu Zhenhua to a warehouse.

"Grandpa Guo, look at it, these are all left by Hong Chengchou's old thief, he used Huai'an as a logistics warehouse, and all the good things were left for us!"

"Old thief Hong has done something good? Let's take a look at the warehouse! ”

Zhao Tian led the way and entered the warehouse, where there were newly repaired grain hoards everywhere, more than a zhang high, and there were scattered sacks next to them. When you open it, you are all grain, white rice and flour, and you are still fragrant.

"This, I'm afraid it's more than 100,000 quintals, right?"

"Hahaha. Lord Yan, you can say that it is less, it is 180,000 quintals! ”

Zhao Tian said with a smile: "Not only that, but the old traitor Hong also hoarded a large amount of ordnance, gunpowder, tents, etc. All in all, there is no shortage of everything that the army can use, enough for 30,000 or 40,000 people to fight for two or three months. It's just that they didn't have this blessing, and we easily took it down! ”

Yan Yingyuan asked with a smile: "I saw you pretending to be businessmen in the battle report. took Haizhou, but I don't know how you took Huai'an, this is a military location, the lifeblood of the Tartars! ”

As soon as this was mentioned, Zhao Tian and Shen Tingyang all danced with their eyebrows, and Zhao Tian even pointed his fingers and talked about it colorfully. 、

It turned out that they were after the capture of Haizhou. Go to Huai'an immediately. On the way, Zhao Tian and Shen Tingyang calculated, as the so-called strong attack is better than outwitting, Zhao Tian searched his stomach and intestines, and thought of a bad idea.

They immediately collected 200 fat pigs and a large number of cattle and sheep. Zhao Tian's family is a butcher, and he also looks good when he mixes with Zhu Qi'er.

Shen Tingyang found someone to pretend to be Azig and forged the documents.

It is said that the prince heard that Hong Chengchou was unfortunately captured, and in order to encourage the warriors to fight bloodily, he specially sent cattle, sheep and fat pigs to reward the soldiers.

A sugar-coated cannon popped out. The Tartars were really fooled, they sent some people out of the city to greet them, and at the time of the handover, Zhao Tian deliberately pretended not to watch, and these cattle ran around. They were in hot pursuit.

The Tartars guarding the city were still fun, and they laughed when they saw it. Seeing that he couldn't catch it, these tartars also poured out, and the big guys started together, stuffing their heads and tossing with fat pigs.

After a great deal of effort, all the cattle were finally arrested, and the Tartars were about to enjoy a good meal, but suddenly the banner of the city changed.

Zhao Tian and his fifty Zhu Qi'er were all secretly handcuffed, and they took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Tartars to seize the city gate. As soon as the gun rang out, the Tartar turned into a dead ghost in a daze.

Shen Tingyang rushed in with his men and horses, and most of the more than 2,000 defenders in Huai'an were still confused, so they became prisoners of An**, and this logistics base changed hands easily.

Zhao Tian, who came up with the idea, was naturally very happy, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo, look at it with a humble position, these Tartars have heads similar to pigs, and they are all complete stupid!" ”

Gu Zhenhua nodded slightly: "Win a game by luck, don't your tail!" If the Tartars were all pigs, wouldn't we have been robbed of our homes by a herd of pigs, and this face would probably be stuffed into the crotch of our pants! ”

"Country, Grandpa Guo, this is not what I mean, I ......"

"Say no more!" Gu Zhenhua said: "Xuzhou is over, you will be the vanguard for me, if you can't beat the Tartars, you see how Benjue cleans you up!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Tian was not worried but happy, and said with a hippie smile: "The humble position must be beaten to the ass of the tartar!" ”

The people and horses have complete food and grass, and Gu Zhenhua is also high-spirited, and immediately led the people and horses to advance along the canal and water 6, and quickly march to Xuzhou.

……

Xuzhou started the war earlier than Yangzhou, and for nearly two months, everyone was exhausted, and Huang Degong and other generals continued to reward small injuries. There were even two fatal dangers, one was shot in the neck by a bow and arrow, and only the tracheal blood vessels were almost broken. Another time, Huang Degong's eye was hit by a stone stirred up by a cannonball, and his left eye was blinded.

As for Wu Kaijie, although he was not injured, his whole person was also out of shape, thin as a hemp rod, with big eyes, high cheekbones, and a mouth full of blisters.

"Lao Huang! You are forty or fifty years old, and it is enough, but I, Wu Kaijie, am still young, I am not reconciled! ”

Huang Degong covered one eye, like a pirate leader: "Boy, aren't you quite a hero, why are you cowardly?" ”

"I'm not cowardly, but my Wu family has a seedling in thousands of acres, if I have a ...... with three long and two short"

"Then pass me on to my uncle, brother, you can rest assured!" Wu Huanju said with a dry smile.

"Stinky boy, see I won't strangle you!"

Wu Kaijie struggled to stand up, but suddenly a pigeon jumped up from under the city, and it happened to pounce on Wu Kaijie's arms, with a white note wrapped around the pigeon's leg!
