Chapter 167: The Bandits of Jiuhua Mountain
In fact, if you take a closer look, that General Zhao Feifeng is in his early teens, with peach cheeks and apricot mouth, slender and long willow eyebrows, obliquely inserted into the temples, the black hair on his head hangs like silk on the shoulders of both ends, and the hands on the handle of the knife are slender and white. x.o
Seeing that Tang He was slightly embarrassed, this General Zhao Feifeng smiled and said softly: "General Tang doesn't have to be polite, although I, Zhao Feifeng, am my daughter, I have been fighting for almost three years, and there is not so much red tape." ”
Tang He looked at Zhao Feifeng and smiled, like a spring flower blooming, full of brilliance, and he was a little panicked. Hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "General Zhao said with a smile, since they are all under the command of Guo Dashuai, we are a family, and we should work together to fight against the Tartars." ”
"Okay!" Guo Zixing took a few shots, stood up, and said loudly: "That's it." Now that the Tartars are in power, the traitors in the court are in charge, and they treat my Han people as people. In fact, the number of our Han people is ten times that of the Tartars, as long as we work together, why worry about the Tartars not being destroyed. ”
And they all said yes. Guo Zixing said again: "General Tang, how is the news of your inquiry in Chang'an?"
Tang He shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Marshal Qiyu, the last general was ordered to go to Chang'an to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the enemy marshal Toto. Who knows, after arriving in Chang'an, the last general first connected with the local rebels, they said that they did not find any whereabouts of detachment at all, and the last general secretly mixed into the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an, only heard that it was the Tartar Emperor who lingered here for a few days, and did not say that there was news of detachment.
The last general probed for a few more days, but there was really no progress, for fear that someone would be discovered after a long time and the local rebels would be affected, so he was busy coming back and reporting to the commander. ”
Guo Zixing paced back and forth on the stage for a few steps, muttered for a while, and then said: "What Tartar Emperor, my old Guo doesn't care at all, there is only one person I care about, that is the Tartar Prime Minister, this person is calm and wise, good at using the art of war, and has experienced a hundred battles, he is really the great enemy of my righteous army."
I also heard a secret report that someone appeared in Chang'an this time, and I was worried that this person had some tricks, so I sent you to investigate secretly, since it was a secret act, it must be difficult to spy on, and you can sneak into Weiyang Palace alone for a few days, it is already too difficult for you. ”
That General Zhao Feifeng said in a coquettish voice: "General Tang can actually walk in Weiyang Palace alone for several days, this skill is really beyond my expectations." Unexpectedly, General Tang is still a master in the martial arts. ”
Chang Yuchun also said loudly: "I always go in front of the two armies, and it is a gesture to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. But let me go to the inner courtyard of the palace, I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter the gate. Ha ha. ”
Guo Zixing also smiled and said: "Okay, let's talk about the detachment later." General Tang, the three of us stayed up all night last night, and finally formulated a big event. ”
As soon as he heard that there was a battle to be fought, Tang He immediately came to his senses and hurriedly said, "What's the big deal? ”
Guo Zixing nodded and said: "The day before yesterday, there was a report from the Malay, saying that Chen Youliang led 50,000 elite soldiers to attack my Chizhou, and now General Xu Da is guarding Chizhou with heavy troops, but General Xu Da sent a message that he was guarding Chizhou and confronting Chen Youliang head-on, so that the old man sent someone to make a detour to Jiuhua Mountain to ambush him, and copy his flank and rear. ”
Tang He looked at Chang Yuchun and Zhao Feifeng, and saw that both of them nodded slightly, knowing that Guo Zixing had already arranged it, so he said loudly: "The last general, please show the marshal." ”
Guo Zixing sat down slowly, took a few shots, and said loudly: "Chang Yuchun listens to orders." ”
Chang Yuchun hurriedly took a step forward, clenched his fists and said loudly: "The end will be." ”
Guo Zixing threw down the general card and said loudly: "This general ordered you to lead 10,000 elite soldiers, detour to Jiuhua Mountain, ambush at the foot of the mountain, and wait for my general order." ”
"The last general commanded. Chang Yuchun took the token and stood behind.
Zhao Feifeng listened to the order. ”
Zhao Feifeng hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly: "The last general." ”
"Order you to lead 10,000 elite soldiers, make a detour to Zongyang, ambush on the spot, and wait for my order. ”
"The last general commanded. Zhao Feifeng also took the card and stood behind.
"Soup and listen to orders. ”
Tang He couldn't wait below, and when he heard Guo Zixing call him, he hurriedly took a few steps forward, and said with his fists clenched: "The last general, please show the marshal." ”
"General Tang, you follow Ben Shuai, temporarily hold Luzhou, and after General Chang and General Zhao break Chen Youliang, we will immediately pull out the camp and go to Bianliang to fight to the death with the Tartars. Guo Zixing ordered loudly.
When he heard that he couldn't go to the front line to fight Chen Youliang, Tang He was a little disappointed in his heart, but he still took the order loudly and stood aside.
Guo Zixing glanced at Tang He and said with a smile: "General Tang, don't be frustrated, General Chang and General Zhao will soon be flanked left and right to defeat Chen Youliang, and at that time, it will be the time for you and me to go north and show our skills."
What's more, you just rushed back to Luzhou from Chang'an, and you also have to take a good rest. ”
Tang Heye smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern." The last general commanded. ”
"That's good. Guo Zixing stood up, looked at the three people below, and said loudly: "General Chang, General Zhao, you two will go down immediately to prepare soldiers and horses, and set off early tomorrow morning."
I didn't sleep all night last night, and General Ben was also tired, so everyone went down to rest, and in the evening General Ben set up a banquet for several generals. ”
After speaking, the three of them were ordered out of the main hall. Chang Yuchun and Zhao Feifeng went to order soldiers and horses and arrange grain and grass. Tang He also took Zhu Chongba back to his small courtyard.
It is said that after Chang Yuchun received the general's order, he immediately went to the martial arts field to order the soldiers and horses, and personally went to arrange the grain, grass, baggage and other matters, and then returned to his room to sleep peacefully.
In the evening, Guo Zixing held a feast and gave food to several generals, and the banquet was very lively.
On the second day, as soon as the morning dawned, Chang Yuchun reorganized the soldiers and horses, and let his deputy general escort the grain and grass behind the army, and 10,000 elite soldiers quietly went out of Luzhou City, all the way south, and went straight to Jiuhua Mountain.
Luzhou City is more than 200 miles away from Jiuhua Mountain, do not dare to take the official road, afraid of being discovered by Chen Youliang's army, plus half of it is a mountain road, the march is very difficult, but Chang Yuchun issued a strict order, the army must arrive at Jiuhua Mountain smoothly within three days, and go all the way to the flag, not allowed to harass the local people, burying pots and cooking is only between the mountains and forests, so a lot of cumbersome details are reduced, and the march is quite fast.
Along the road, encounter a small group of Yuan army to eliminate the situation, if it is a small group of bandits, can be incorporated on the absorption, can not be incorporated also eliminated, all the way down, just a small group of bandits, there are thirty or forty shares, as little as dozens of people, more than hundreds, are the local poor people, because they can not live this way to gather in the mountains and forests, to rob for a living.
Jiuhua Mountain is located in the middle of nowhere, far away from the plain, the rebels have tried their best to choose remote mountain roads to march, but it is inevitable to pass by some villages, the strange thing is that as soon as these villages see the men and horses of the rebels, see the banner of the rebels, they immediately close their doors, lest they avoid it.
Chang Yuchun felt strange in his heart, since he joined the rebel army, he had never encountered such a situation. Not to mention places like Yingzhou and Haozhou, even places like Luzhou and Suqian, the people are as if they have seen their relatives when they see the rebels, and they are all very enthusiastic.
This is located in a corner, the rebel army has never marched here at all, and the common people ignore it at most, but how can there be such a reason for hatred?
Chang Yuchun calculated, it was not far from the destination Jiuhua Mountain, it was late at this time, so he ordered the army to bury the pot and cook under the mountain, rest for one night, and dare to go to the bottom of Jiuhua Mountain tomorrow. He also sent a shrewd and capable lieutenant to disguise himself as a hunter who walked the mountains to find out the news at the villager's house to see what was going on.
After a short time, the adjutant general came back to tell Chang Yuchun that there were often small groups of rebels here who harassed the local people, burned, killed, humiliated and plundered, and did all kinds of evil. That's why every family hates the rebels.
"There are often small groups of rebels in rebellion?" Chang Yuchun bowed his head and muttered: "What kind of rebels? How many people?"
"Generally, there are dozens of people, and there are more than 100 people. They were all dressed as rebels, just like us. The adjutant general replied, "General Chang, shouldn't it be the team under the accounts of other marshals?"
"Never. Chang Yuchun shook his head and said: "General Xu Da is in Chizhou, General Guo Zixing is in Luzhou, and General Liu Futong is far away in Suqian, this place is so remote, how can there be a rebellion by our rebel army?"
"Then what's going on?" the adjutant general shook his head and said, "The last general visited several families, and everyone spoke in unison, which makes no sense." These rebels came to harass them almost every three days, and the villagers said that they knew them when they turned to ashes. ”
Chang Yuchun groaned slightly and said, "I understand." Scatter the brethren and lurk, and we will see tonight. ”
The deputy general was confused, but seeing that Chang Yuchun was confident, he didn't ask anymore and was busy arranging.
The army was stationed at the foot of the mountain far away from the mountain village, and after dinner, Chang Yuchun only brought more than 100 strong soldiers, let the deputy general lead the way, and took advantage of the night to quietly touch all the way back to the edge of the small village.
At this time, the night is deep, and it is the beginning of the winter moon, the sky is dark, only a few clear some starlight shines on the ground, not much stronger than reaching out and not seeing the five fingers, more than 100 people know about the Suosuo, and finally come to the entrance of the village, with the faint light of the village entrance, ambush on both sides of the village entrance.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for me to hear the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and I came straight to the entrance of the village. After listening for a while, the adjutant general whispered to Chang Yuchun: "General Chang, there are more than ten horses and more than thirty infantrymen, a total of less than fifty people. ”
"Good. After a while, when they were all in the village, we swarmed up and took them all down, remembering, no matter what, you can hurt people, but you have to keep them alive. Chang Yuchun said in a low voice.
The adjutant general nodded and whispered the order to everyone.
