Chen stayed outside the city, Cangwangmiao Village.

At the end of the day's battle, the soldiers returned to the camp in despair, Guo Changxian knelt in front of Guo Anguo and cried: "Lang Jun, you can't fight like this anymore, the hard army is almost gone!" ”

"Uncle, stand up," Guo Anguo hurriedly helped, "I don't want to fight either, but the Jin people are pressing too hard." ”

Guo Chang was first a fellow villager of Guo Yaoshi, and he was able to climb up to his relatives with seven bends and eight turns, and he was barely regarded as Guo Yaoshi's brother, and he has always been responsible for leading the "hard army".

The real "hard army" is only 300 people, and it is the top elite among the 8,000 Liaodong elites.

Guo Yaoshi fought with Yan Zongwang in Baihe, and the three hundred hard troops were directly killed in one hundred and two, and almost everyone was injured and still rushed forward. Later, it was replenished to 300 people, but the combat strength had decreased, and now he was ordered to storm Chen Liucheng.

After a while, Zhao Heshou also hurriedly walked over, and said with a look of resentment: "The Jin people are vicious with their intentions, and they want all the old soldiers in Liaodong to die under Chen Liucheng!" ”

The Zhao Heshou in front of him, Zhen Wuchen in the wounded barracks, Liu Shunren and Zhang Linghui who were killed in Yanjing, are all Guo Yaoshi's brothers.

Another general named Zhou Kui said: "It is said that the marshal defected and voted for the one surnamed Zhu." As a handsome person, if he hadn't been driven to a desperate situation, how could he have thrown away our brothers to betray gold. What's more, Lang Jun is still in the golden camp, how can he not even want a son? It must have been the Jin people who forced him to die! ”

Guo Changxian said: "The Jin people wanted to force the handsome to die, but they turned the handsome back. Now on the grounds of the defection of the marshal, let us people make meritorious contributions. The other Jin soldiers didn't contribute much, and they only let us storm the city every day, just to borrow the hands of the Song people to kill us all here. ”

"Lang Jun, if you listen to the orders of the Jin people, all the old brothers in Liaodong will die!" Zhao Heshou said.

Guo Anguo cried with a sad face: "What can I do?" If they do not obey, they will be besieged by the golden people. There is no way to escape, the cavalry has been transferred, and now there are only foot soldiers left, and if they escape, they will definitely be chased and killed by the Jin cavalry. ”

The victorious army had its own will as early as when it was still a resentful army.

Because the Liao State did not give sufficient food and wages, when Emperor Tianzuo was still there, they had rebelled many times. At the beginning, more than 7,000 people rebelled, ransacked Qianzhou of Liao, and then accepted Zhao'an. After another two years, nearly 30,000 people all rebelled and besieged Jinzhou in Liao, and after Zhao'an, they were almost booby-trapped and killed, but Xiao Gan saved them from death.

Now that they have been bullied like this by the Jin people, they have begun to plan a rebellion again.

is not only the elite of Guo Yaoshi's lineage, but also Zhao Heshou's troops.

Zhao Heshou led 2,000 men alone and was also the head of a northern army. The total number of troops he and Guo Anguo combined was about 7,000.

These 7,000 victorious troops have attacked Chenliu for a few days, and more than 1,000 have been killed and wounded.

There were no decent siege equipment at all, so they built a simple ladder to storm the city, as long as the defenders were united, how could they not suffer heavy casualties?

It is difficult to succeed in escaping, and it is even more difficult to succeed in rebellion on the spot, because they have no food and grass, and the army is all provided by the Jin people every day. And the Jin people let them camp alone, extremely guarded, and always on guard against their rebellion.

Guo Anguo said: "As long as Chen Liu is captured, the second prince will trust us." ”

"Lang Jun, do you believe this nonsense?" Zhao Heshou sneered, "When I was in Yanjing, I led an army of six thousand alone. The generals under my command were bribed and co-opted by the Jin people, and most of the soldiers in my hands were transferred to Liu Yanzong to command. I took refuge in Yanjing City with the marshal, and made great contributions, but not only did I not get a reward, but the army was taken away out of thin air. Not to mention defeating Chen Liu, even if Kaifeng is laid, the Jin people will not trust us! Who has allowed us to rebel countless times, and who is brave and good at fighting to fight? ”

"Let's run away tonight, as much as you can escape, go to Xianping County to join the handsome!" Guo Changxian said.

Zhou Kui said ruthlessly: "It's better to attack the gold camp at night first, and then take advantage of the chaos to escape." ”

Zhao Heshou said: "The Jin people are persecuted like this, just waiting for us to rebel, how can the night attack be successful?" ”

Guo Anguo was more cowardly: "The cavalry was taken away by my father, we don't have cavalry in our hands, how can we stop the Jin people from chasing and killing?" ”

"What are you looking forward to?" Zhao Heshou said anxiously, "If we attack for a few more days, even if we defeat Chen Liu, most of our soldiers will be killed or wounded." If you don't run away now, you will be slowly grinded to death by the Jin people! ”

"But after attacking the city for days, the soldiers are exhausted, and this is dozens of miles away from Xianping, and they must be caught up by the cavalry of the Jin people." Guo Anguo is still reluctant to make a decision.

In this case, even if Pharmacist Guo is here, he can only follow the soldiers, and he Guo Anguo is a fart!

Zhao Heshou asked directly: "Who wants to go with me?" ”

Guo Changxian said: "I am willing to go with the general!" ”

"I'll go too!"

"Let's go together!"

The generals and officials promised one after another, Guo Anguo was directly stupid, and he seemed to have become the commander of the light pole.

This is the ever-winning army, not to mention that they don't accept the management of the Jin people, and even their own main generals can't suppress it.

"That'...... Then I'll go too. Guo Anguo could only follow the generals.

In the evening, the whole army was well fed and rested, and in the middle of the night without baggage, wearing armor and began to flee, ready to fight the pursuers.

Soon after they left the camp, they were discovered, and Wanyan Zongwang sent thousands of cavalry to pursue them, and even the remaining 2,000 escort troops were dispatched en masse.

These victorious armies were able to fight and retreat at the same time, and the pursuers did not directly rush to kill, but repeatedly shot arrows to consume. By the time they retreated to a village to defend, more than 1,000 people had been killed and wounded, and they were besieged in the village by thousands of cavalry.

After dawn, Wanyan Zongbi sent someone to shout: "The second prince is benevolent and righteous, only Guo Anguo, Zhao Heshou and other chief evils will be punished, and the rest of the soldiers can all be killed, quickly kill the army and surrender in the future!" ”

Wanyan Zongwang also coveted these elites, and did not think about killing them all, but planned to kill the generals, and then disperse the middle and low-level officers and non-commissioned officers into other troops.

He also thought about booby-trapping, but the general of the Changsheng army was very clever and did not want to leave his soldiers.

Anyway, the Changsheng army must be cleaned up, because Guo Yaoshi defected. If you don't deal with it in time, once you fight with Zhu Ming, these guys are very likely to defect!

……

Outside Xianping City, Zhu Ming's camp.

Xue Guan knelt on the ground and cried: "Generalissimo, quickly send troops to save Chen Liu, if you don't go, it will be gone!" ”

"Get up and speak." Zhu Ming said.

Xue Guan kowtowed frantically: "If the generalissimo doesn't send troops, I will kneel and die here." The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the horseman, and I have no other ability but to break through and ask the marshal to send a rescue. ”

"I promised to send troops." Zhu Ming said.

"Asking for Gold" was issued, and Zhu Ming had great righteousness and responsibility.

Chen Liu is next to Tokyo, this city must be saved!

But Zhu Ming was actually reluctant to fight the Jin people, because he only had more than 30,000 soldiers in his hands. It is necessary to wait for Li Bao to go north, and there will be nearly 50,000 soldiers by then.

Kaifeng has a well-developed water system, and Zhu Ming can continuously transport grain and grass through the Huimin River and the Cai River. The people only need to carry the two sections of land from Nanyang to Yexian and Xiangcheng to Yingchang, and the rest can rely on grain ships to solve the logistics.

Chen Liu was on the edge of the Bianhe River, which was the only way for Li Bao to go north.

If Zhu Ming sent troops to rescue, dozens of miles of grain would be carried by the people, and he would be very vulnerable to the attack of the Jin cavalry.

Moreover, they will also expose their true strength!

Until then, Zhu Ming had been bluffing. He made more flags to set up inside and outside the city, and asked the people to disguise themselves as soldiers, making it look like he had an army of 100,000, which made Wanyan Zongwang dare not act rashly.

"Marshal, let me guard Xianping City." Wang Yumao then recommended himself.

Zhu Ming asked, "What does the old general plan to do?" ”

Wang Yu said: "I don't want a man, I don't want a soldier, I only organize the people to defend the city in Xianping." The Jin people sent cavalry to investigate, but they definitely couldn't find out the truth and truth, thinking that our army still had heavy troops in Xianping City, and the Jin people would always be afraid of our army's strength in Xianping. ”

"Yes." Zhu Ming agreed.

Zhang Bo said again: "Marshal, Li Bao doesn't know when he will be able to go north, and he can't wait for him to come." I plan to go back to Puzhou to recruit troops, one person and one horse to Puzhou, and when I come back, there will be three or five thousand righteous troops. ”

Zhu Ming shook his head: "Li Bao will definitely arrive on time, even early." You can go back to Puzhou if you want to, but after recruiting troops, you don't have to go back to Kaifeng, you can directly defeat Puzhou, and it would be better if you could capture Xingren Mansion! ”

"Yes!" Zhang Bo gave up his hand to receive the order.

Zhu Ming ordered his troops and horses and slowly marched towards Chen Liu.

What is Li Bao doing?

Li Bao commanded more than 10,000 troops, and set off by boat from eastern Sichuan, and now the number of troops has exploded to 30,000.

He asked the accompanying civilian officials to lead the newly recruited rebel army, restrain military discipline as much as possible, and occupy various prefectures and counties in Huainan.

The military discipline of these newly recruited rebels is certainly not good, and it is inevitable that there will be acts of disturbance to the people. There were even cases of looting and killing people, especially the destruction of rich families.

However, Li Bao believed that as long as there was no large-scale rebellion, this kind of thing was acceptable, and the top priority at the moment was to occupy Huainan as soon as possible.

He ordered the more than 10,000 soldiers from eastern Sichuan to assemble in Sizhou as quickly as possible, and they didn't even care about the food they brought from Sichuan, and threw half of them to the temporarily recruited rebels. Then he led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and went straight to Kaifeng along the Bianhe River, forcing the rich to provide grain and grass with an IOU halfway. The notorious was used by him to establish his authority, and he directly killed and confiscated money and food.

When Chen Liu sent people to ask for help, Li Bao had already arrived in Yingtianfu (near Shangqiu, which can be understood as Shangqiu) in Nanjing.

This place is still two hundred miles away from Chenliu, and the waterway is extremely fast, and it is estimated that it arrived before Zhu Ming.

However, Li Bao was blocked in Shangqiu!

Ying Tianzhi Du Chong recruited 8,000 troops and was planning to go to Kaifeng King Qin, but Li Bao killed him at this time.

Although Du Chong is a civil official, he is cruel and murderous. During the Jingkang period, he was transferred to the prefect of Cangzhou, because there were too many Liao people who moved from the Yanyun area, he was afraid that someone would make an internal response to the Jin soldiers, so he ordered to kill all the Liao people who moved south, even the old and weak women and children.

When Jin Bing didn't come, he claimed to be the first to take the lead.

As soon as the Jin soldiers arrived, the goods ran away directly, and ordered the Yellow River embankment to be pulled out. The Jin soldiers did not drown a few, the people were drowned in hundreds of thousands, and many more died from the flight and the plague. It also led to the Yellow River seizing the Huai into the sea, and the prosperous Lianghuai region was depressed, and it was tortured by the Yellow River until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

"Flatten the cannon and drag it out, immediately attack the city!"

Li Bao saw that Ying Tianfu City would not surrender and did not take any rest at all, so he ordered a forcible siege of the city, and Zhu Ming was still waiting for him.

Du Chong recruited 8,000 troops and threatened to be the king of Qin, and when he learned that the Jin soldiers were attacking Chen Liu, he found various reasons to stay still.

Li Bao led his troops to kill, and Du Chong also said to his officials: "The city of Nanjing is high and deep, and it is not much better than Tokyo, and the thieves can't attack it." Although I am a handsome minister, I will not sit on the throne, if the thieves attack the city, I should personally risk the arrows and stones to kill the thieves! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier shouted: "Tai Shou, the thieves are going to attack the city!" ”

Du Chong was shocked, and immediately said: "Wait here to hold on, I will go back to the mansion to settle my family, and I will come to lead the troops to fight in a while!" ”

The man galloped back to the mansion on horseback, took the goods that had been loaded long ago, and went out of the north gate with his family and slaves, and fled directly behind the city and the army.
