Chapter 24: Anxiety

Guan Shengyun has been wandering around the south of Luzhou Mansion for the past few days, gathering the rout.

The first to find him were the deputy general Takato Bean and the auxiliary battalion of the Sensokuni Kiyobayashi.

The direction of the main attack of Luzhou City is the West Gate and the South Gate, which are the horns of each other. Guan Shengyun himself sat in the camp of the West Gate, and Gao Tengdou was naturally in charge of the South Gate. Defeated in a daze, Gao Tengdou was guarded by personal guards, and it was expected that he ran out. Guo Qinglin was a blessing in disguise: the backbone of the auxiliary team died in the tunnel when he first took over the battle, and he was ordered by Guan Shengyun to select Ding Zhuang from the cannon fodder team that blocked each gate to rebuild the team, and finally gathered four or five hundred people to walk near the south gate, and saw that the soldiers were defeated like a mountain, and the cannon fodder naturally dispersed in a hurry, and Guo Qinglin followed Gao Tengdou all the way down.

More unexpectedly, the second group found Gu Baihua.

Jia Lianwang, who led the battalion guards, used to be a well-known bandit in northern Shaanxi, who had been crisscrossing the ravines for more than ten years, and had repeatedly escaped the encirclement and suppression of the official army, and was nicknamed Jia Yanzi. As the saying goes, the names given by fathers and mothers often don't match people's numbers, but the nicknames given by everyone must be eight or nine. Seeing that the situation was not good, Jia Yanzi threw down the miscellaneous soldiers in the camp and was the first to slip away, ran straight to Anqing, and found his old superior, Gu Baihua, in Tongcheng. Gu Baihua slapped Jia Yanzi more than a dozen big mouths in one go, and then left a fruit to guard Luo Junshi, and he first brought a dozen cavalry guards all the way to the north, and let Jia Yanzi, who had been beaten into a pig's head, bring the rest of the infantry team of the Gangfeng Battalion and then follow to respond.

Guan Shengyun had already learned about Gu Baisong's death from the rout soldiers who had escaped by luck, and he couldn't help but sigh when he saw Gu Baihua.

After two or three days, Guan Shengyun waited for the Zhenyong battalion to attack Gong Derun, the general You Futian, and the guerrilla Zhang Ding, and others, and collected a total of more than 3,000 defeated soldiers, and of course all the equipment and materials were completely lost. The two counties of Shucheng in Feixi have been destroyed to ruins, and they can't afford to dig three feet into the ground to supply thousands of mouths, so they have to move closer to Zhang Shisanbu in Anqing, fill their bellies first, and then talk about everything else. staggered all the way to Tongcheng, and finally arrived at Zhang Shisan's forward base here, where he met with the big and small Luo military divisions.

Although he does not belong to the command, Guan Shengyun is after all the "friendly army" of King Zhang, how can the little grain official have the courage to not let Guan Shuai eat-besides, thousands of hungry and half-dead are extremely vicious, where can the 100 old, weak, sick and disabled people who guard the grain be stopped......

Guan Shengyun dipped the browned flatbread in the broth, put it in his mouth and chewed it, looking at the large group of gobbling up flowers in front of him, he once again remembered Guan Jianlin, Guan Yehuo, who was definitely gone, and the pro-military camp that he had devoted half his life to, and a few tears fell silently into the soup bowl.

Gu Baihua grew up in the border of Yunnan, and he has a distinct personality of daring to love and hate. The younger brother who has been dependent on each other since childhood is gone, looking for people all day long, who is unlucky when the soldiers see him, even the generals avoid him, if it weren't for Gong Derun, who has the best relationship with him, to watch at any time, maybe a few lives have already been made.

Tongcheng is a small grain platform, and Zhang Shisan set up for his troops to besiege the North Road of Anqing Mansion - he could not have imagined that Guan Shengyun, who had brought a lot of military rations, would be defeated and go to Tongcheng to "eat......

According to the predetermined plan, Guan Shengyun attacked Luzhou Mansion, where there were only two or three thousand soldiers, but everyone knew that Sun Jie could fight, and it was impossible to annihilate, but it was more than enough to defeat. There is the Chu River in the north and Chaohu Lake in the south, and the remnants of Sun Jie can only flee all the way to the east.

Fighting Anqing by himself, the north is Guan Shengyun's main force, the Yangtze River, which winds from the southwest to the northeast, will prevent the officers and soldiers from fleeing south, and Li Yuting can only flee to the northeast. After each side completed its tactical objectives, they squeezed the officers and troops from the northwest and southwest directions, and finally surrounded the remnants of Sun and Li's two divisions in the Chaohu area, gathered and annihilated them in one drum, and then they could go down the river and go straight to Jiangning!

After receiving the report from Zhou Ning, the general sent to stop Guan Shengyun from slaughtering the city, he knew that the person surnamed Guan had been disabled, not only did the Luzhou Mansion not take it down, but Sun Jie might stab him in the back at any time, not to mention, hundreds of thousands of stone military rations were lost!

Hundreds of thousands of stones! Zhang Shisan knew that Guan Shengyun was not short of food, but he really didn't know that this guy was so rich! Envy and jealousy pass for a moment, followed by hatred: this is a fucking enemy!

Coming down from Shaanxi and Henan, it is estimated that the surname Guan is to dig up the land to scrape out so much grain, and the number of people requisitioned along the way, Ding Zhuang, is even more astronomical - Zhang Shisan knows too well: the lives of people in the transport team are far inferior to livestock. Feed the animals, and take care of them; The servants were all caught along the way, and every day they gave a bowl of gruel to cut the bark of wild vegetables, and then used as cattle under the pressure of whips, sticks, knives and guns, and when they fell to the ground and could not even whip up, there would be an unknown corpse on the side of the road...... One or two thousand miles, it is not an exaggeration to say that one stone of grain is one life - in other words, on the road from Guide Mansion, Xiangcheng, to Fuyang, and Shou County, not only is the food gone, but the people are almost dead: within a few years, the army does not want to go again - in case the war is unfavorable, want to run back? Let's take a new path that is completely unfamiliar!

My father-in-law used to be like a locust, fighting wherever he wanted, eating up one place and then rushing to another. The advantage is to be free to do what you want: everywhere is to protect yourself by preferring to die to the poor Dao, and you will never reach out and pull a handful when you see the death of your neighbor, and then pray not to come and harm yourself, the disadvantage is that every place passes, it is best not to look back for two or three years, otherwise you may starve. However, Daming is so big, do you still have nowhere to go?

Guan Shengyun's side has been in the Huguang area since a few years ago. Of course, the pressure is not even a star and a half than that of himself: no matter how much the court fights, sooner or later the dog officials will pass the buck if they occupy the place for a long time, and they will always have to transfer troops to encircle them. However, after a little operation, the capital is really full of money: the people actually live and work in peace and contentment, but they have handed over all the fields to the surname Guan! Not only that, speaking of which, those surnamed Guan have made more money than the imperial court - the meritorious guys do not accept the land endowment in the imperial court, but the surname Guan does! I heard that this article alone is three or four times as much as the local government handed over in the past! Of course, the people don't care, anyway, it is natural to give the grain to anyone, it is nothing more than a little less, as long as they can gnaw the bark to live, the people of the Ming Dynasty will accept their fate, and the gentry and rich families can avoid disasters after paying money and grain, and naturally they will also admit it...... In this way, the soldiers surnamed Guan have enough food, don't look at the small place they occupy, but in the past few years, they have fought with the officials and soldiers who have been encircled and suppressed from all walks of life!

Later, Luo Junshi over there sent someone to contact his father-in-law, and his father-in-law actually adopted his idea: the two sides poured out of the nest to attack the north and south, take root in the richest Nanzhili, cut off the artery of the bastard court - Caoyun, and paralyzed the border army that can fight in the north first! Then go up the river again, from Huguang to Sichuan and Fujian and Zhejiang, the world's granary is in the bag. The dog court will definitely fight back...... It seems that Guan Shengyun really wants to do this-these military rations are the capital of Ying Tianfu!

For Guan Shengyun, the head of the dog army, and that Luo Junshi, Zhang Shisan looked down on him in his heart: The most important thing for a person to live is to be happy, no one can say where he will die one day, why do you want to do so much? There are so many sons who dominate the world, how happy!

The more Zhang Shisan thought about it, the more angry he became, but he also knew in his heart that his father-in-law valued this dog officer very much, don't look at this guy poking out such a big Lou Zi, he really can't do anything to him. Seeing that Anqing Mansion was at his fingertips, and the threat from the north was expected to be blocked by him, he simply allocated some equipment and materials to the past, so let this dog officer take a breath and recover - on the one hand, the father-in-law said that in addition to keeping an eye on it, he should also take care of each other, and besides, if he is in trouble here, he will throw him off the thunder, and he will have to leave some capital to hold on for a while. When Sun Jie caught him, he had already followed his father-in-law back to Sichuan.

The hundreds of routs that were thrown over scattered, Zhang Shisan also returned them to Guan Shengyun in one go. In this era, even if they are all subordinates of King Zhang Hu on the surface, there are many mountains inside, and all factions are fighting for power and profit, not to mention friendly forces. It's not worth it to fall for a few hundred miscellaneous soldiers. Especially Guan Shengyun, who can't be said to be in the same position as other leaders from all walks of life, is also clearly distinguished: after all, it is the old foundation of the official army, the official army kills the thief, the thief kills the official army, how many years have passed, both sides have each other's blood on the knife, saying that it is a friendly army, it is impossible to meet and laugh at each other. His soldiers could not be retained, and they could not be used to fill the trenches, so he simply did a personal favor. Let other masters take a look, our surname Zhang is not ambiguous.

Li Yuting was on pins and needles in Anqing Mansion, and Xue Xiaowen, the political envoy of Jiangning, was even more like a year.

Back then, Zhang Hu rebelled in Shaanxi, and he was still a magistrate in Xianju, Zhejiang. In the past ten years, from the county to the state, from the state to the governor, and then to the prefect, to participate in politics, and even to the political envoy. The political envoy, this is the so-called feudal official, step by step, the official chair is always rotating in the southeast half of the wall. It stands to reason that Nanzhili is Huatianbao, and it is also the land of the Holy Ancestor Longxing, and finally boiled to the political envoy of Jiangning Zuobu, well, I heard that after a while of restructuring, he was called the governor...... Under normal circumstances, when the senses reach this position, it is definitely the peak.

At the same time, the thief has also become a giant, sometimes in Shaanxi and Henan, sometimes in Guanzhong Bashu, at most occasionally plagued Huguang. I thought that I was blessed with a good star, and I thought that I would go to the book and beg for bones after a few more years, and I could return to my roots in peace and security in the post of governor of Jiangning, and this life can be called 100% meritorious. But suddenly a catastrophe came, the thieves drove straight along the river, the nerd Li Yuting was dedicated to the country, and he didn't wait for Tianfu City, and risked his life to run Anqing to block the thieves, although he was sitting in Yingtianfu, but it was reported that Lord Jinglu had been surrounded by thieves, in case anything went wrong - Lord Jinglu with the sword of the Son of Heaven sacrificed his life for the country, and the political envoy was safe and sound in the rear? Not to mention the career, your life may not be saved, how can you not worry?
