Today in History:

In 1279, on March 19 (the sixth day of the second month of February in the second year of Xiangxing in the Southern Song Dynasty), Lu Xiufu threw himself into the sea and died, and the Southern Song Dynasty died.

——

After the departure of Beli Hutai, the fifth day.

Qing Qianxing and Zuo Cheer completed the task on time. There are 20,000 elites, and the Tuntian army is in their early 20,000s, and all of them have been selected. Deng She went down to the camp and inspected a part of it, and was very satisfied. Regardless of the skill of the stick, just standing there, with a murderous aura, makes the recruits* daunted.

"Pawn, pawn." Chen Hu was amazed and said, "Lao Guan's lineage is really extraordinary, and some of them are comparable to the elite in our army. ”

He's bragging.

Compared with them, the elite of Deng She's army is on par with them, and the number of people is far from so large. At best, the 800 soldiers he started with, and the thousands of soldiers who joined the army in Yongping and have survived to the present. Speaking of Deng She, who is known as 100,000 military horses, Guan Duo looked down on him at first, which is not unreasonable.

You must know that Guan Duo has been crisscrossing Liaodong for many years and has fought countless vicious battles. His descendants, including miscellaneous brands, as well as Pan Cheng and Sha Liu Er, to be fair, all came out of the sea of blood. The weather in eastern Liaodong is severe and cold, and the climate outside the fortress is changeable.

Deng She was very happy, and with this 20,000 yuan, his strength went to a higher level. It was in vain that he made great efforts to adapt and reorganize.

Qing Qianxing thought far and said: "With these 20,000 people, as a standard, absorbing the experience of its officers and non-commissioned officers is also conducive to improving the combat effectiveness of other battalions of our army. ”

Except for Mao Jujing, Zheng Sanbao and others, less than 10,000 households who are willing to surrender, after Deng She screened them, they were all accepted. Either stay in their original positions, or send them to the Twin Cities Army. He selected a particularly capable one and allocated it to Luo Guoqi to expand his officer training corps, and as an instructor, he toured various cities and explained tactics to grassroots officers.

- After Luo Guoqi rectified the officials of the Shuangcheng Governor's Office, he thought that he would be transferred to a civilian position. How could it be that there were too few people under Deng She's hands who were literate and hyphenated and familiar with military affairs, and they couldn't leave him for a while, so he was transferred back to the training group and returned to his old business. After reassuring him, he promised to wait for the situation to stabilize, and then officially transfer him to civilian work.

Seeing that Deng She and the others were happy, Yang Wanhu was also happy, and said: "It's a pity that Mao Jujing and Zheng Sanbao would rather die than surrender, otherwise, the general will have a few more tiger generals." ”

Although he strives to be the first in everything, he has an upright personality in the end, unlike some people, who are jealous of the merits of his colleagues and slander behind his back. Deng She liked his character very much, but he regretted him and laughed it off. Mao Jujing, Zheng Sanbao and others followed Guan Duo from beginning to end, with high positions and powers, and the relationship between the army and the army was intertwined.

Deng She relied on Liaoyang City, which should be taken by Nei, and he would not be without consideration for this. If the situation is stable, such as recruiting Qing Qianxing, you can wait slowly. Now is no better than in the past, and he can't afford to wait. Even Mrs. Guan couldn't escape death in the end, not to mention Mao Jujing, Zheng Sanbao and others.

This language is not enough for outsiders.

Qing Qianxing looked at Deng She and smiled, he guessed everything, changed the topic, and asked, "May I ask the general, when will the eliminated military horses leave the city?" ”

"Collect your weapons, and not even a single nail will be left in the camp. Tomorrow, select 3,000 military horses from the twin cities and escort them to Gaeju and Pyongyang. ”

"What about the elite?"

The day before yesterday, Zhao Guo took away 5,000 people. There are more than 10,000 garrisons in Gaizhou, and if there are more, it will be unbearable. Deng She said: "I stayed in the camp outside the city, sent elite guards, and immediately started the second reorganization, mixed into the military horses of the two cities, and practiced day and night." "It must be digested as soon as possible.

He pondered for a moment and said, "After the disruption, it will be divided into two yaya, which are the same as the previous three yaya, and will be under my direct jurisdiction." The name is Anton, Dingdong. Under the Yaxia Thousand Households, the Heavenly Stem is used as the order. ”

"Organized into two departments", that is, organized into two command divisions, each division of 10,000 people. The chief is called the commander of the capital, and he is at the same level as tens of thousands of households.

"The previous three ya", referring to Deng She and Zhao Guo successively brought into Liaoyang 30,000 Han soldiers, originally Wanhu Mansion, only changed the number not long ago, are the backbone of the field battle, siege, Yongping most of the old pawns here, respectively called Anliao, Dingliao, Du Liao are the command of the envoys, of which Du Liao is the cavalry.

The five yas are combined to symbolize the five directions.

"Heavenly stems are the order", each division is divided into ten thousand households, and the number is made according to the ten heavenly stems. For example, the Qianhu Mansion under the command of the Andong Capital Command Department is called Anton Battalion A, Anton Battalion B, and so on. Deng She had a plan to distinguish between the main army and the local army, and the best difference was of course reflected in the number, which was first used for trial on the backbone of the five yas that had been reorganized.

The heavenly stem represents the main force of the field, implying that the good attacker moves above the nine heavens. The earth branch represents the local city defense, implying that the good defenders are hidden under the nine lands.

Qing Qianxing bowed down and responded.

Chen Hu asked: "Who is the leader of the new compilation of the two ya?" ”

Deng She said: "Anton is headed by Li Ye, and Dingdong is headed by General Li." ”

Li Ye, the old brother of the horse thief. Before Yongping, he was the commander of ten under the direct jurisdiction of Deng She, participated in many major battles, fought bravely, made great contributions repeatedly, and was one of the fastest promoted officers. General Li, that is, Monk Li, whose legal name is Li Zifan, was stationed in Dongmu Mountain with Chen Hu, and then came to Liaoyang.

The commanders of Anliao, Dingliao, and Duliao were Yang Wanhu, Zuo Che'er, and Lu Qianxi.

These five people are all brave and good generals, and the officers who are rationed to thousands of households and hundreds of households are also elite. Ordnance, according to the best given; The supply of food and wages shall be paid according to the best; Training, according to the strictest comes. The main force of the five ya, which can be described as arrogant soldiers, and cronies and fierce generals are gathered together.

Chen Hu smiled slightly and said, "Three yamen into five, congratulations to the general for strengthening his wings." Anton, Dingdong, the name is good. ”

Ha Guangxiu and others have fun. While he was reviewing the kung fu, a pro-soldier with a strange face came over and said something to Bi Qianniu. Bi Qianniu was happy at first, but then confused, came to Deng She's side, whispered in his ear, and said, "General, Zhao Timur is back." ”

I thought he was dead, but I didn't expect his life to be quite big.

"Where?"

"I took it to the governor's mansion and waited for the general."

Shenyang is a big matter, the reorganization of the army is more important, Deng She insisted on checking to the end, it was almost dark, and then turned back, the generals did not bring a single one, hurriedly returned to the governor's mansion, walked into the side courtyard study, pushed the door in, and saw Zhao Timur sitting indoors by several pro-soldiers.

He hurriedly got up and fell to the ground.

"Hurry up, please."

Deng She sent his soldiers out, he didn't see anyone else, he was slightly suspicious, and said: "It's hard work on the road, ,......" Zhao Timur was in rags, and almost cried when he heard the words. Deng She asked, "Why are you dressed like this?" What about General Zhou? ”

"The general didn't know, only one villain escaped."

"What happened?"

"Naha came out of a dog Tartar, and as soon as the villain entered Shenyang, he didn't see him in person, and he was directly locked up."

"Locked up? Didn't you mean it? ”

The general told that the secret letter was only shown to Naha, and the villain did not see him and did not dare to take it out. Although there is a villain father,...... No, the token of the traitor Zhao Xiaosheng, Naha had no choice but to ignore it at all. If it weren't for the villain's acquaintance with a few generals, there was a man named Ba Sa'er, who interceded on behalf of the villain, for fear that he would not be regarded as a fine work and cut off his head. ”

His answers were both true and false.

Naha haunted him and locked him up. It's true that he didn't dare to hand over the trustee to Naha, but he didn't dare to hand it over, which didn't mean that he hadn't thought about it. In order to survive, he even killed his father-in-law, let alone a letter? But with the officer surnamed Zhou together, he didn't have a chance.

He had the intention to find some excuses, persuaded the guards, and persuaded Naha to come out to meet him, but because of the letter that Deng She gave him, he did not know the content, and Deng She did not tell him what he was doing, but only said that giving the letter to Naha would be a great achievement. Confused, therefore, he can't talk about it.

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Fortunately, he saved his life.

"I see." Deng She didn't believe it, comforted her, and said, "So, how did you escape?" ”

"The villain watches the sky at night,......"

"What?"

"Oh, so that the general may learn that when he was young, he studied with the Tartar shaman for several years. Jump to the gods, watch the heavens, and know a little bit about it. Zhao Timur hurriedly explained.

Deng She was stunned, people can't look good, they can't see that this is a god from a famous family and a heritage. He nodded and said, "Go on." ”

"Yes."

Zhao Timur shivered, his clothes were in tatters, and even though there were coals of fire in the room, it was difficult to resist the cold. Deng She suspected that he was suspicious, and it had become a habit to care about his subordinates, so he subconsciously ordered him to come outside the door and bring a few clothes for Zhao Timur to wear; He also called for hot tea to warm him up.

Zhao Timur was grateful, knelt down to thank him, got up and took a breath, not too hot, drank a large bowl of tea, reluctantly hugged the tea bowl, and warmed his hands with the remainder.

He said: "The day before yesterday, the villain watched the sky at night and saw that there would be a strong wind at night. Told General Zhou to prepare in advance. Sure enough, before and after the second watch, the wind was loud, and taking advantage of the news, General Zhou and other military masters killed the guards and rescued the brothers who were locked up elsewhere. Converge in one place and lurk out of the city. ”

Deng She quietly observed his speech and demeanor, and listened quietly.

"Shenyang City, the villain has been there a long time ago, he is more familiar, and he volunteered to lead the way. The wind that night was really strong, and many of the trees on the road were thinner, and many of them were broken, and there were no people on the road. Let's ,...... No, the villain and the others successfully touched the edge of the remote city, found a private house, touched some ropes, borrowed the blown down trees, set up a human ladder, and climbed over the city wall with great difficulty. ”

The city wall of Shenyang is not low, as he said, the four words of hard work are not enough to summarize its difficulties.

"A few days ago, I listened to the chatter of the Tartars who guarded the villain, saying that the general had captured Liaoyang. The villain and others discussed and decided, since Naha couldn't see it, he had left a broken life, so he had to find the general, this life was not a villain, it was the general's. At that moment, the villain and others identified the direction and came to Liaoyang. ”

This life is not his, it is Deng She, and indeed someone said so, it is not Zhao Timur, it is an officer surnamed Zhou and other soldiers.

"It was going smoothly, but I never thought that it happened suddenly. If you have to describe it in one word, it is a sharp turn. It was not two miles from the city wall, and he was halfway up and hit a patrol of Tartars. General Zhou and others only had a few captured weapons from the guards, although they were brave and invincible, they were not as complete as the Tartar armor. After a long battle, he rushed out of a bloody road, and the accompanying military masters died nine times out of ten. ”

Shenyang's new defeat and strengthening its defense are a matter of course.

"The villain waited for the desert to flee. The group of Tartars patrolled, chased after each other, and fought and walked, and at the fourth watch, only General Zhou and the villain were left to die. General Zhou was seriously injured, and he couldn't see it, so the villain was going to desperately protect him and bring him back to see the general. Who knows, General Zhou is righteous, and he said that he didn't want to involve the villain, urging the villain to go quickly, and he turned around to help the villain break off. ”

The general surnamed Zhou was by no means unwilling to implicate Zhao Timur.

He didn't know why Deng She sent Zhao Timur to Shenyang, but he knew that Zhao Timur was more important than him. He had the idea of killing him, so as not to fall into the hands of the enemy, and after a slight hesitation, Shenyang was not far from Liaoyang, and it was unknown whether he could escape, so he did not kill him, and took the initiative to break off, and bought time for Zhao Timur.

The villain burst into tears, and there was nothing he could do. Loyalty and righteousness are not both, in order to be loyal to the general, he had to abandon General Zhou. The villain is alone, easy to hide, escape and hide, it is easy to avoid the Tartar patrol, he does not dare to show his face during the day, and only rushes at night. Until this morning, I entered the Liaoyang defense area, and in the afternoon, I came back to Liaoyang. ”

There were many wars, and Zhao Timur was alone, and he had nowhere to go if he didn't come to Liaoyang. Surrender Naha out? The officer surnamed Zhou killed many Mengyuan soldiers, fell into their hands, and was killed in two pieces on the spot. Naha only came out of Shenyang, and the remnants of the army were defeated; Deng Shejie reported again and again, thinking about the future, people go to high places, he even killed his father-in-law, in order to survive and seek glory?

Deng She bowed his head and said, "After hardships, it's hard for you." ”

"Don't dare, serve the general, and die."

"What about MeTson? Is it still on you? ”

Zhao Timur took it out and handed it over respectfully. Deng She looked at it, the fire paint on the envelope did not move, and it was estimated that after the death of the officer surnamed Zhou, Zhao Timur was tired of fleeing, and he didn't have time to think about getting up to see it. But you have to guard against it, don't ask Zhao Timur to say that it is all a lie, he actually surrendered Naha out to do a fine job.

Naha is cunning and has to be guarded against.

Deng She took it casually, put it on the table, and thought, "How credible is his words?" After inferring for a moment, it was not easy to be sure, and asked: "What is the situation in Shenyang City?" ”

"When the villain first entered the city, he took a quick look at the flowers and took a hasty look. The security outside the city is very strict, and there are sentry posts around the city. At the head of the city, there was a posture of preparing for war, and there were a lot of trebuchets and artillery. Most of the people who came and went in the city were the Tatar tribesmen in the north, and there were very few Han people. ”

"General Zhou has fought with the Tartars, how is the combat power of the Tartar patrols?"

"Not as good as the general's department. General Zhou and others fought with their bare hands against the enemy on twenty or thirty horses, although all of them were killed in battle, and most of them were killed. ”

The scouts on patrol are all the elite of the army. The officers surnamed Zhou and others were also the elite of Deng She's subordinates. In this way, Nahachu is indeed inferior to Dunshe. It seems that in the battle of Liaoyang, he was seriously injured, and the number of elite losses was not few.

Zhao Timur remembered something and said: "The villain understands Mongolian and understands the conversation of the guards. According to them, Nahachu has been very anxious lately. Now that I think about it, maybe this is one of the reasons why he didn't see the villain. ”

"How?"

"Before the Liaoyang War, Naha used the temptation of promising Liaoyang goods to recruit many people from the surrounding Tartar tribes to participate in the war, resulting in heavy casualties. The patriarchs of several large tribes took the lead in demanding that he fulfill his promise and pay compensation. He had no money to give, and he had a headache. Marshal Mao burned the company camp and burned a lot of his baggage, grain and grass, and it seemed that it was difficult to survive the winter. ”

Deng She had heard this matter mentioned in detail, but it was not as detailed as Zhao Timur. He came interested and asked carefully, Zhao Timur tried his best to recall, and after talking for a long time, Deng She praised him with satisfaction and said, "You did a good job." ”

After receiving the praise, Zhao Timur was excited, and suddenly thought of something again, and said: "The night before the wind started, the villain heard something. The guards said that when Naha came out of the camp, there was an army of prisoners, all of whom were outlaws, who had no pay and lived by plundering. Naha's army was defeated, and they did not get anything, but made a request to transfer to the army. Naha disagreed, and suppressed it. ”

Before, this army of cadres and prisoners, with Naha's 100,000 troops as a backer, could attack and plunder the border areas, and was the most ferocious. Not only did he have a confrontation with Guan Duo, but even Pan Cheng, who was far away in Quang Ninh, was also attacked by them. There are victories and defeats against each other, more or less, and the states, counties, and villages that pass by on the road can always grab some loot to make a living.

Naha was defeated, there was no backer, they didn't have the courage to come out and make trouble, thousands of people, no entry, in the winter, if they didn't freeze to death, they starved to death. It is not surprising that they want to be regularized and set out from Naha to pay their rations.

Deng She's heart moved, and said, "Fighting for the army? ”

"Yes." Zhao Timur said, "Speaking of which, the villain knows a person, who is originally a native of Haiyang, and I heard that he later joined the Qianqiu Army, as if he was still an officer. However, the Qianqiu army did not have much status in Shenyang, so his name was not mentioned when he entered the city. ”

This is the advantage of using a general, and it is inextricably linked with the enemy. Inadvertently, you can find a use.

Deng She was silent for a long time, touched the saber on his waist, let go of his hand, and said, "I ordered my soldiers to prepare wine and food, presumably you are also hungry, go change your clothes and eat some food." "When he goes out, call Bi Qianniu," choose a few capable ones, watch him, and don't move around at will. ”

It's easy to kill him, but it's a pity that he has a relationship with Shenyang. When the news is transmitted, Shenyang will be asked to investigate the truth and truth, and Zhao Timur will have to cheat, and it will not be too late to kill.
