In the battle of Chengziling, more than 1,000 Zhejiang-Fujian troops were destroyed. Although most of them were newly recruited by the luxury family in eastern Jiangxi, they also captured a lot of armor. More importantly, the battle of Chengziling made a momentum, shaking the surrounding counties, and after Yu Wencheng and Wu Jingze's troops joined forces, they followed the rout to attack Fuliang, the big city of eastern Jiangxi.

Fuliang is the big city in eastern Jiangxi, because of the porcelain tea Chang River and prosper, the guard general Tian Jiye gathered the soldiers and horses of the counties to enter the mountains to suppress the kiln bandits, there is still a battalion of guards in the Fuliang city, the garrison is very strict. Yu Wencheng saw that the enemy soldiers were vigilant, and Fuliang Chengjian, he did not have siege equipment in his hands, and it was difficult to capture Fuliang suddenly, and according to the deployment of the Privy Council, they had to continue to hide their strength at this time, and they could not forcibly attack the city, and they did not hesitate at the moment, that is, they led their troops to retreat east to capture Qimen.

The county seat of Qimen is nearly 100 miles away from the east of Fuliang, between Yishan Mountain and Jiuzi Mountain, and the mountain is dangerous and the road is narrow. Qimen is closer to Nanling County, Yijiang Prefecture, but the passage connecting with Fuliang is slightly more wide, and the Changshui River, a great river in eastern Jiangxi, originates in the territory of Qimen, and Qimen has always been included in Fuliang Mansion in Jiangxi.

Chengziling was devastated, and the guards of Qimen County only had more than 100 sword archers, and there were only eleven or twelve veterans loyal to the luxury family; Yu Wencheng led his troops to come, and the Qimen guards tied up the magistrates and other officials sent by the luxury family, and opened the city to surrender.

When Yu Wencheng captured Qimen, he officially showed the banner of the Privy Council's advance army in eastern Jiangxi, and sent people to spread the message to the surrounding counties of Yongshan, Fuliang, Duchang, and Poyang, and issued a Privy Council decree to reduce the levy of the people of Yongshan, Fuliang, Duchang, and Poyang counties in three years, and invited all the gentry and people to fight against the rebellion and rebellion against the tyranny and pseudo-government of the extravagant family. He also recruited troops from the tenants of the Qimen Mountains to defend the city, and strengthened the strength of the advance army in eastern Jiangxi to resist the imminent counterattack of the luxury family.

Fuliang is not far from Jiangzhou, only about 200 miles of road, Fuliang County is still subordinate to Jiangzhou Mansion in the previous dynasty, there is Yue, only the new Fuliang Mansion is placed, in order to govern the counties in the northeast of Jiangxi.

The news of the defeat of Chengziling reached the cities of Jiangzhou, Hukou, and Pengze on the same day, and Peng Ze was the earliest to get the news and reacted the fastest.

Worried that the Gandong Army would capture Fuliang and cut off the land passage between Jiangzhou and Shangrao on the east bank of Poyang Lake, Tian Chang, who was guarding Pengze, immediately sent Han Li to lead two thousand elites to aid Fuliang as soon as possible.

Peng Ze is located in the north of Fuliang, no more than 100 miles away from the hilly and mountain road, Yu Wencheng led his troops to retreat eastward the next day, Han Li led his troops into Fuliang. On the same day, Haowenzhuang sent Su Tingzhan to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangzhou, and went south by waterway, entering the Chang River from Duchang and coming to Fuliang.

Su Tingzhan entered Fuliang City first and took over the Fuliang garrison, and Han Li's department and the remnants of the original Fuliang garrison were all under Su Tingzhan's jurisdiction.

Su Tingzhan stood at the head of Fuliang City and looked around.

Under the eyebrow moon, the mountains around Fuliang rise and fall, as if the turbulent waves trapped Fuliang City in it, and Su Tingzhan was born with the illusion of being trapped on an isolated island.

Under the moonlight, several people came to the city, and the armor struck in clusters, as if the river tide hit the shore, and the general who was the leader, with a beard and a face full of anger, was the first to lead his troops from Peng Ze to come to the aid of Fuliang, Han Li.

When the soldiers and horses of the left wing retreated from Liyang, they gave the main force of the Huaidong Army a bite, and in order to preserve their strength, the left wing commander Zheng Ming personally led the elite to break off, and Han Li followed. In the end, the elite was trapped on the east bank of Gucheng Lake, and the life and death of the commander Zheng Mingjing were unknown, and only more than a thousand people fought and broke through from the siege of the Huaidong Army, which was as solid as an iron bucket, and Han Li was one of them.

At a time when the extravagant flying tiger was killed on the bank of the Yiyang River and Zheng Mingjing's life and death were unknown, Han Li was already one of the few brave generals in the Zhejiang-Fujian army.

Han Li had already led his troops out of Fuliang City to pursue eastward, but he insisted on bringing back Su Tingzhan's letter of order with extravagant Wenzhuang, full of resentment, and angrily climbed to the top of the city, and asked: "The soldiers are very fast, Huaidong secretly gathered a rabble in Qimen, and it should be disintegrated with a thunderous blow, why does General Su delay?" ”

"It would be a rabble!" Su Tingzhan didn't mind Han Li's questioning, he just smiled faintly, he had been fighting with Huaidong on the Eastern Front all these years, which mile Huaidong wouldn't plan and then move?

If it's just a rabble, that's easy to do.

At the beginning, there were more than 300,000 people in the Heavenly Jacket Army, and Liang Chengchong's 20,000 elites were beaten to the head; Liu An'er led 200,000 soldiers and horses to besiege Xuzhou City, and Yue Lengqiu led 20,000 Changhuai troops to support it for half a year. In terms of armor and battalion formation, the rabble is far from being comparable to the elite division.

If the soldiers and horses gathered in Qimen were just a rabble, it would really be a mustard problem that should not be worried, and unfortunately, things could never be so simple.

Su Tingzhan didn't bother to explain anything to Han Liduo, and immediately gathered all the generals of Fuliang to discuss the matter.

When Tian Weiye, the general of Fuliang, broke through, he was hit by an arrow in his left shoulder, but it was not much of a problem, after all, he successfully broke through and escaped.

Su Tingzhan sat in the middle, summoned Tian Weiye to him, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Tian, you will tell us the details of the battle of Chengziling again, this defeat is not your fault, you don't have to hide anything......

"The last general will not dare to hide anything, what he said before is true, and if the last general says it again, it will be the same." Tian Weiye said.

"Then you'll say it again." Su Tingzhan said.

"On February 19, the scouts in Huangtian felt that the kiln thieves had colluded with Huangtian Gujiagou, and the last general immediately led his troops to Gujiagou to suppress, grabbed the tail of the kiln thief, and pursued from Gujiagou to Chengziling...... never expected that the kiln thieves would regard Chengziling as a nest and take precautions, and they could not enter the valley for a while, so the last general immediately sealed the mouth of the valley and set up camp, wanting to trap the kiln thief to death, but did not expect that the enemy soldiers would take advantage of the foggy weather to attack the camp, and Fuliang and Qimen were not at all vigilant before that Tian Weiye said.

Su Tingzhan looked at Han Li and asked, "Vice General Han, what do you think?" ”

Han Li is brave and good at fighting, and his temperament is rude, but it doesn't mean that he is a reckless man, and he patiently listened to Tian Weiye, the general of the defeated army, talk about the details of the battle of Chengziling, but he heard many things, and said: "Huaidong, more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, have long been lurking in the territory of Fuliang, and the kiln thief is just his bait, and Fuliang has not been able to detect it in time, so he should be killed!" ”

Tian Weiye was shocked and changed, afraid that if Su Tingzhan spit out the word "kill" in his mouth again, he would recite the black cauldron of the defeat of Chengziling.

"Captain Tian didn't realize that the kiln thief was a bait, so Vice General Han decided that the rabble of Qimen was not a bait?" Su Tingzhan asked.

Han Li sank his face, Su Tingzhan questioned him like this, so that he couldn't hold his face, but Su Tingzhan was the chief general designated by the Metropolitan Governor, how could he be patient and not turn his face, and said: "General Su has something to say, he will make it clear, the last general is impatient and will not go around in circles!" ”

"Deputy Lieutenant Huang, tell me about the enemy's attack on Fuliang City." Su Tingzhan named a thin-faced general who was going to sit under Tian Weiye and said.

Han Li also looked at the thin-faced general, and scolded with a smile: "Huang Biaozi, I heard that you are so bold that you dare to hook up with the maids in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the last time I went back to Jiangzhou, I didn't find anyone to see you, I didn't expect you to be demoted to Fuliang......

Huang Biaozi grinned and said, "Xiao Cui is the one who was rewarded to me by the Metropolitan Governor for warming my feet, but the Metropolitan Governor ordered not to let it be said to the outside world, and it is inconvenient for everyone to drink the wine, and it will definitely be made up in the future," Seeing Su Tingzhan frowning and having an impatient look, he hurriedly kept his mouth shut and did not talk to Han Li, and returned to Su Tingzhan's words, saying, "There are not many thieves, the scale of a thousand people, the bows, armor and swords are complete, the battalion is reorganized, and I rushed to the bottom of Fuliang City, and saw that the city gate was closed, and there was no action to attack the city, that is, I withdrew my troops to the east and captured Qimen!" Lao Han led his troops over, and I advised Lao Han not to be irritable, but Lao Han had a hot temper and refused to listen to my ......"

"Listen to your turtle son, the daylily is cold!" Han Li scolded, a thought suddenly "clicked" in his mind, pointed at Huang Biaozi, and asked in surprise, "Huang Biaozi, you were deliberately arranged by the Metropolitan Governor in Fuliang!" ”

Huang Biaozi nodded and said, "Yes, Lao Huang, I am indeed a secret chess move deployed by the Metropolitan Governor in Fuliang. It's not just Lao Huang and I, the six hundred sons under my command are all new soldiers recruited from the homeless people on the surface, but in fact they are all old brothers in the Yellow Shirt Army......"

Su Tingzhan looked at Han Li at this time and asked, "Vice General Han, do you understand the arrangements of the Grand Governor at this time?" ”

Han Li frowned and asked in surprise, "Is the soldiers and horses led by Captain Tian to go into the kiln thieves bait?" ”

Su Tingzhan nodded and said: "Yes, the Metropolitan Governor has long noticed the abnormality of the bandits in eastern Jiangxi, but these bandits are scattered among the mountains, and at this time, they can't spare their hands to attack one by one, and they don't have so many troops scattered in the counties, so they can only come up with another strategy." Fuliang City is guarded by Deputy Lieutenant Huang, as long as the Gandong bandits gather to attack the city and contain them under Fuliang City, it will not be difficult to encircle and annihilate them, but Huaidong is far more cunning than we imagined! ”

"What's cunning? I think it was Huaidong's troops lurking in eastern Gandong who were insufficient to storm Fuliang City, so they retreated to take Qimen. Han Li said, glaring at Huang Biaozi, "Huang Biaozi, the more you fight, the less daring you become, you don't dare to let the thieves in and fight, you should bite them......

"Do as you say, Lao Huang's skin will be peeled off for the Metropolitan Governor," Huang Biaozi said with a smile, "The order I have accepted is not to allow the floating beam to be lost, and the rest is your business with Lao Han and General Su!" ”

Since Tian Weiye knew that he was just a bait, he sat aside in frustration and remained silent.

Su Tingzhan said: "Huaidong lurking soldiers and horses dare to go to Chengziling to attack the camp, but dare not take advantage of the situation to forcibly seize Fuliang City, which is only defended by six hundred 'new pawns', is Vice General Han really not surprised at all? ”

Han Li couldn't hold his face, his mouth was hard, but his brain was not really confused, they played tricks in tricks, bait in bait, maybe Huaidong's soldiers and horses lurking in Gandong would also play this set! If Huaidong still hides another 1,000 elites in Gandong, he leads his troops to seize Qimen rashly, and he may suffer a big loss.

"What should I do?" Han Li said, "Qimen is hidden in the Yishan Mountain, controlling the upper reaches of the Changshui River, and can go down to the west of the floating beam, although it is separated from the Yijiang Jiangnan Mausoleum in the east of the mountain, it is only thirty or fifty miles away. At this distance, even if you carry a basket, Huaidong can transport a large number of armor and bows in. If it drags on for ten days and half a month, it will be difficult for us to recapture Qimen......"
