"Jinling Hengzhou Iron Armor Gun Emperor Fifth Class Duer".

The so-called "Duer" is "Baduer". Mongolian, meaning warrior. The Mongol Yuan reigned in the Central Plains for nearly a hundred years, and not only were many Mongols sinicized, but some words commonly used by the Mongols were also widely spread, and the Han people were also influenced by them.

This army is Zhu Yuanzhang's "guard in front of the tent", all of them are strong warriors, and they are all personal soldiers, and they are led by "the commanders of the personal soldiers in front of the tent". This "commander of the soldiers in front of the tent", that is, the commander of the "five wings in front of the tent". This position was originally held by Feng Guosheng's elder brother Feng Guoyong.

After Feng Guoyong died of illness, Feng Guosheng succeeded his brother. A few years ago, after the defeat of Chen Youliang in Longwan, he was promoted to "protect the front of the tent". Although he is the official of the "five wings in front of the tent", he attaches more importance to the identity of "guarding the front of the tent", in other words, he attaches more importance to the identity of being the captain of Zhu Yuanzhang's personal soldiers.

Therefore, on the shaft of the arrow, he engraved "Jinling Hengzhou Iron Armor Gun Emperor Fifth Class Duer", but did not engrave "five wings in front of the tent".

- Zhu Yuanzhang's personal army, in addition to this one, there is also a "escort eight branches", a total of more than 1,300 people, escorted by another cronie and led by the governor Qiu Jingfu. In fact, it is this Qiu Jingfu who is mainly responsible for the work of guarding Zhu Yuanzhang's side. And Feng Guosheng only has such an identity in name, and more, it is actually Zhu Yuanzhang who is expressing trust and closeness to him through this move.

Hu Linchi looked at the arrow shaft and said in a lost voice: "Feng Guosheng? ”

The shaft of the arrow was wet from the rain and dripped water little by little. The expression on his face was cloudy, and he thought, "First Cai Qian, then Feng Guosheng." One is braver than the other, but neither of them is often in spring! "Such a brave general, and they are all willing to be a partial general under Chang Yuchun, how brave should Chang Yuchun be?

For the first time since tonight, he had a bad thought, retreated slightly, retreated into the guards of his own soldiers, fought in the array, and raised his voice again, "The general opposite, but Feng Guosheng?" ”

"It's your grandfather!"

Feng Guosheng was disrespectful, but Hu Linchi didn't have the strength to get angry, and then asked, "Where is Chang Yuchun?" ”

"Look back!"

This answer was completely unexpected, Hu Linchi was startled, hurried, and turned his horse to look back. I saw a large avenue behind me, leading straight to the direction of Giethoorn, shrouded in night and drizzle, except for the occasional cavalry of the headquarters advancing and retreating in a disorderly manner, there was no trace of the enemy.

His heart thumped, and he secretly shouted: "Feng thief is cunning! "I know that I have fallen for the "thief scheme" again. Sure enough, it wasn't bad, before he could turn around, Feng Guosheng urged the horse to shout, dropped the bow and arrows, reused the spear, danced like a snowflake, and killed Hu Linchi's personal army. You are such a hairy ghost, why do you use the general to be in person! ”

Thinking of that Hu Lin Chi, he is also a famous general in the Chahan army. It's a pity that the elite of the Wu army has been encountered repeatedly, a Cai Qian, who is famous for not being afraid of death, and slashed Chen Ming lightly and skillfully; Another Feng Guosheng, in terms of bravery, it can be said that in the Wu army, it is only a few people such as Chang Yuchun, the battle of Longwan, chased Chen Youliang to the sky without a door, no way to go to the ground, fled to Wuchang, and also covered the south of the Yangtze River.

In terms of resourcefulness, it is not comparable to the opponent; In terms of bravery, it can't compare to the opponent. When we meet on a narrow road, why fight? has long fallen into passivity, and the reinforcements of Sheephorn Village have not been seen for a long time, and at this time, Feng Guosheng is like a dragon entering the sea, and the tiger has returned to the mountains and forests, and Chang Yuchun has not yet appeared. He knew that he was invincible, and suddenly he had no desire to win, and shouted "bitter"! Pull your horse and flee.

As soon as the main general left, the Yuan army had no fighting spirit, whistled, and all fled.

Thanks to the familiar terrain conditions, and thanks to the fact that most of the Wu army were foot soldiers, there were only more than 500 cavalry, and they couldn't catch up, and it was difficult to distinguish in the middle of the night, Feng Guosheng and Cai Qian didn't want to chase too much, worried about losing the enemy's territory, and only chased and killed for a while, and then withdrew the troops, so there were not too many losses. Escaping twenty miles away, Hu Linchi gathered the defeated troops.

More than 1,000 rides, more than 200 losses. There are still 800 to ride.

However, it was not all losses, earlier before Feng Guosheng arrived, when they attacked Cai Qian's infantry formation, because of the advantage of cavalry, they were in the upper hand, killing a lot, and calculating the results, there were more than 100 levels. He lost more than 200 self-losses and killed more than 100 enemies. Seems to be a reluctant draw. But in fact, most of them were foot soldiers, but all the dead were cavalry, and the results of the battle were naturally incomparable.

Standing in the rain, Hu Linchi fought fiercely in the middle of the night, sweating down, feeling a little cold. After a cold war, he looked up at the sky and saw that it was dawn in the east. After watching the sky, looking left and right, looking at the group of remnants gathered around him, he couldn't help but shout again: "Bitter!" ”

Because of Cai Ziying's plan, Sain Chidahu and Wang Baobao sent him out, and listened to the good news of his victory, but unexpectedly, due to carelessness, he fell into the plan of the Wu army and returned with a big defeat. He thought, "How can I go to meet the marshal and the young general?" "Confused. After thinking about it for a long time, there is no way. Tan Malai reported: "The Wu thief has cleaned the battlefield and just retreated. ”

"That's it, let's go to Giethoorn first, and ask Babusha why he didn't come to save me!"

This time, there is a division of teaching, but it is exactly: shrimp soldiers and crab generals, why do you need to meet spring in person; Killing chickens with knives, Lao Feng is enough!

But he said that Hu Linchi, discerning the direction, dialed Ma Xi to go, and went to Giethoorn.

After walking for a short time, I saw an army in the distance. It's too far away to see the flag clearly; It was not yet dawn, and I couldn't see my armor clearly. It was only vaguely seen that all the cavalry who came were not many, about four or five hundred. The speed was very fast, and in a short time, the distance was only one or two miles. Looking at the direction of this army's horses, it should be from Giethoorn. Hu Linchi was suspicious in his heart, and thought: "Babusha are all foot soldiers, where are the cavalry?" ”

He was also unlucky, the military horse he met on the way was none other than Fu Youde, who quietly retreated from Giethoorn before dawn!

- Before Feng Guosheng withdrew his troops, he sent a letter to Fu Youde. Now that the task is complete, why not? Fu Youde immediately led his troops to Jinxiang, but he didn't know that he actually met Hu Linchi in the middle of the road. I really don't know whether to say that Hu Linchi is lucky, or his luck.

When Hu Linchi found him, he also found Hu Linchi.

Zhao Puduo and Tong Shengkai were in front of the army and the other behind the army, and when they heard the enemy's traces, they all came to say something, not suggesting fighting, but proposing to avoid. They said: "The Wu army just sent good news, and on the way they met the cavalry of the Tartars. Looking at its loose team and not raising the flag, this must be the Red Department of the Tiger Forest. Our troops are all light horses, first crossed the river and drove sixty miles, and then tired for half a night outside the sheep and horn village, although he was defeated, he was afraid that it would be difficult to win in a hurry. If you get into a fight, fifteen miles away is Sheephorn Village, and Babusha will come when you hear the news. At that time, our army was defeated. It's better to avoid them while they haven't reacted yet! ”

Fu Si and Lie Lao Jiu generals all agreed.

Fu Youde didn't think about it, and replied: "Since I joined the army, when have you ever fledged from the enemy?" That day, under the city of Yidu, rampant in the Chahan army, I never had half a step back! Not to mention staying away. Ladies and gentlemen, you see Tartar cavalry, do you know what I see? ”

"What is it?"

"Piles of heads, one piece of credit!"

Since entering Haidong, although Fu Youde has received the grace of Deng She's knowledge, he also understands that his foundation in the Haidong Army is still too shallow, and if he wants to get ahead, he has to pay more than ordinary people. This is also why he fought to become a martial artist before, and this time after receiving the order, he didn't hesitate at all and went into battle. In the original history, after he demoted Zhu Yuanzhang, he gradually improved his status through bloody battles that did not kill him again and again, thus laying an unshakable height in the Wu army.

Therefore, Zhao Puduo and Tong Sheng saw Hu Lin Chi and avoided it, but he was overjoyed and high-spirited, so he just had to say: "I can't ask for it." "If you are more brave, Fu Youde is more on Feng Guosheng; If you compare it further, I am afraid that it is on par with Chang Yuchun.

He not only rejoiced, but also did not rejoice blindly, and calmly analyzed with everyone and said: "As you said, the Red Department of the Tiger Forest is loose and the banner is not raised. The general of the defeated army, how can he be brave? It can be seen that his subordinates have lost their hearts! The brave one, the reason why the three armies are fighting. If he has lost his heart, even if he has thousands of troops, what shall I fear? Although our army was tired, it was victorious after the Wu army. Ladies and gentlemen, don't you see the frightened bird falling when you hear the strings? The Tartars don't know we're tired! Just take courage and you can extinguish it with one drum! ”

His subordinates stayed up all night, and before they had breakfast, Fu Youde raised his gun and shouted: "Extinguish,......。 He wanted to say, "Destroy this ecstasy." Earlier, I heard Pan Xian'er talk about the ancients, and when he heard this word, he felt very majestic.

Zhao Puduo had read the book and knew some allusions, so he hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and said, "General, be cautious!" ”

Fu Youde didn't hold back his breath, he almost choked, and finally calmed down and asked, "Oh?" ”

"Don't you know, general? Anyone who said these four words, since ancient times, no one has been able to win the battle, and all of them have become the enemy's 'morning food'! ”

"I see."

Fu Youde didn't care, seeing that the Yuan army on the opposite side seemed to have woken up to something, the speed of the march gradually slowed down, and there was a meaning of stopping a mile or two away, knowing that he couldn't wait any longer, he ordered: "Xiao Zhao!" ”

Zhao Puduo responded: "In!" ”

"Lead a hundred horsemen first, give you half an hour, and be sure to break up the tartars! It is best to cut it in half. ”

"Whoa!"

Although Zhao Puduo proposed to avoid it, the main general had already given the order, but he refused to show weakness, so he took out his double knives, beckoned a hundred people, and laughed loudly: "Zhongerlang, go with me to kill the Tartar!" Today, I will cause the great ruler of the Tartars to die by my sword. "When you run out, you will be like an arrow off the string, like the wind galloping.

"Xiao Tong!"

Tong Sheng responded: "The end will be!" ”

"I will also give you a hundred horsemen, and stay behind the palace. If I am not good in the battle, you can come to your aid; Or maybe the battle dragged on, and the Tartars of Giethoorn were invited, and you were also responsible for volleying! ”

"Whoa!"

"The rest of the three hundred rode and did not move. Wait for Zhao Puduo's volley to succeed, and then kill the enemy with me! ”

The three hundred horsemen responded in unison: "Wow! ”

The drizzle is drifting, and the sky will dawn. The dark clouds in the sky were dense, and the four fields were gloomy. The plains are like covers, the small river is babbling in the distance, and the trees are close to the left, which are more and more lush under the rain. The two armies met, and the field battle broke out again.

At this time, Hu Linchi had already seen the banner of the Yan army on the opposite side clearly, and said: "No wonder I didn't see Babusha coming to help, but it was the Yan thief Fu Youde who was here, and it was expected that he must have surrounded Sheephorn Village at night." ”

I wanted to face the battle, but when I looked back, I only saw a group of frightened defeated soldiers. Helpless, he thought to himself: "'I'd rather meet ten thousand tigers than meet the old man'." Fu Youde, who has been famous for a long time, is a fierce thief. The soldiers were defeated and fled first, and they were already courageous, but now they encounter a strong enemy again, and they are in a hasty field battle, I am afraid that it will be difficult to win! ”

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shout three times: "Bitter! He sighed and said, "I can't say it, I have to use the strongest strategy!" Turning the horse's head, he shouted, "Troops, fifteen miles to the west, there is Sheephorn Village." The swallow thieves are only a few hundred horses, which is not as many as our army. Fight your way out and go to Giethoorn. ”

Thirty-six plans, go for the top.

As when he rushed to Cai Qian's infantry formation before, he still took the lead, avoiding Zhao Puduo and running into the field next to the road. Eight hundred soldiers followed, turning north. Ran away without a fight!

Fu Youde didn't expect it, he was shocked, and said to the left and right: "Hulin Chisu is called Chahan Xiaojun, and I know that he is originally the department of the customs protection office. But how can it be famous, but it is actually difficult to deserve? Flee without a fight. Is it because he was scared of being killed by Wu Jun? Or is it because Guan Bao is the main public capture, so he is afraid of fighting with us? ”

was disappointed, but refused to let the "credit" slip away. In vain, he also made arrangements in advance to prevent falling into a bitter battle, "delaying the war", and attracting the help of Babusha. Seeing this, he hurriedly waved the military flag, and no longer left reserves, and urged the horses to chase after him together with Tong Shengkai and Zhao Puduo.

After a chase, he chased more than ten miles, shooting arrows from behind, killing and injuring a lot. It wasn't until dawn that Fu Youde was worried that it would attract the surrounding Yuan army, so he triumphantly turned around and went straight to Jinxiang.

Overnight, a series of crushing defeats. After Fu Youde went away, Hu Linchi gathered the remnants again, eight hundred horses, this time there were only more than 600 people left, dejected, and went back to Giethoorn. Outside the village, I ran into Babusha. However, because he knew that Hulin was defeated and did not know where to go, Ba Busha led his troops to look for it.

The two met and had a different taste.

The reputation of the two of them in the Chahan army is not low, and they have also fought with Guan Duo and other units of the Red Turban Army, and they have won more and lost less. It can't be said that they are not good at fighting, but who called Chang Yuchun, Feng Guosheng, and Fu Youde? Even if Wang Baobao meets these three generals, who wins and who loses, it's not easy to say, let alone the two of them?

However, eat a trench and grow a wisdom.

Through this battle, Sainchi and Wang Baobao can also have a deeper understanding of the strength of the Wu army and the Yan army. Although it was defeated, there were not many casualties, and at most it was a small defeat. Lessons can be learned from this, and caution can be valued in decisive battles. Or is it a blessing to lose a horse?

——

1, in the original history, after he demoted Zhu Yuanzhang, he gradually improved his status through bloody battles again and again, thus laying an unshakable height in the Wu army.

After Fu Youde surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang, he was just a "don't general" at first, and "he often meets spring".

In the battle of Poyang Lake, "Youde Cao lightly swept his (Chen Youliang's army) front, his body was wounded several times, and the battle was profitable", "he killed hundreds of people with his hands, and returned to the forbidden river mouth invited by the generals". "Friendship forgives death, the teacher rotates, and the first merit is the most".

"Revenge from the upper pro-conquest, besiege Wuchang. There is a high-crowned mountain in the southeast of the city, and you can look down on the middle of the city. The generals said, 'Whoever can win this mountain will be rewarded.' Youde led 10,000 people to climb first, and won it with one drum. The arrow hits the cheek, the back of the head is out, and the hole is re-wedged, not frustrated. ”

The arrow pierced his cheek, the arrow came out of the back of his head, and the armpit was pierced by the arrow, but he was not discouraged at all. It's incredible.

After the Wuchang War, he was awarded the title of "Commander of the Xiongwuwei", and he was "super-awarded". The "guards" of the Wu army, each guard has five or six thousand people, which is equivalent to 10,000 households. "Super-granted" means that he is promoted beyond the ranks. In other words, his previous military position was at most a thousand households. Moreover, it is still the battle of Poyang Lake, the case of "the most meritorious". It can be seen how difficult it is for foreign generals to gain a firm foothold in an army.

However, talent will always stand out. After seeing his bravery, Zhu Yuanzhang also encircled him.

In a battle with Wang Baobao, Fu Youde guarded Pengcheng, attacked the crowd with a small number of people, captured the Yuan general Li Er, and dedicated it to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and summoned him to Jiankang, "enter Jianghuai Province to participate in politics", and "ordered to be sent back to the first place with his command". The next day, "Li Yingbing and Yang Xisheng, the senators of the Restoration of Life, brought a voice and a voice, and drank with friends", Li Yingbing and others were drunk, "naked and drunk". Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, and they were all stunned. But instead of reproaching Fu Youde, he said to him: "If (you) put on your armor and die a hundred times, you will be happy." And who are the others? I am not to blame. ”

- Yang Xisheng, Yang Xian's younger brother. As we all know, because this person married Zhu Yuanzhang and fell in love with a woman, he was jealous of Zhu Yuanzhang. This time he was convicted of drunkenness, and there may be no reason for this.

2, if you are more brave, Fu Youde is more on Feng Guosheng; If you compare it further, I am afraid that it is on par with Chang Yuchun.

Yin Shouheng, the author of "Plagiarism in the History of the Ming Dynasty", commented on Fu Youde as follows: "At that time, the good general would not be as good as the king of Zhongshan, and he would be the king of Ping, and the friend was poor, called the two tiger generals." Kaiping died, and after the big seal, Youde began to show his honor. Take Bashu, Dingdian Di, its Ye Ye cover a few mountains. ”

Li Zhen quoted this comment in the "Praise" after "Continuing the Collection of Books: The Biography of Fu Youde", and the entire biography did not have a single word of criticism. Compared with the biographies of Feng Guosheng and Lan Yu, there are many micro-words. It can be seen that Fu Youde's prestige has been recognized by many people in the Ming generation.

In "Continuing the Collection", it is written that Fu Youde was not killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, but a "violent pawn". Presumably, this is "for the sake of His Holiness".
