Chapter 373: I Can't Bear It

Yu Dazhong saw that he couldn't enter the Divine Arm City, so he had to go down the mountain angrily to find longevity. The guards at the camp told him that Lord Zan had gone to Fushun City. Yu Dazhong knew that Zan Wanshou avoided it, but he had no choice but to go to the Banzhou military camp to see Yang Wen. This time, he successfully entered the Banzhou military barracks, but he did not see Yang Wen, and it was Yang Bangxian who met him.

After several setbacks, Yu Dazhong was no longer arrogant, and his arrogance was subdued a lot, but he still did not change his condescending tone. Yang Bangxian was already dissatisfied with Yu Xing's father and son, and when he saw that he would have a good face there, his face sank at the moment, and he said coldly: "The Yang family has been favored by the imperial court for generations, and it is the right thing to conquer for the Great Song Dynasty. The Divine Arm City is a bloody battle of the Banzhou disciples to seize from the hands of the Tartars, since it should be reported to the imperial court, there is no need to control Lord Yu's work."

Yang Bangxian was actually telling Yu Dazhong that the Yang family in Banzhou had deep roots and was quite relied on by the imperial court, and was not a soft pestle to be manipulated by others. As for Yu Xing's desire to use the official authority of the Sichuan envoy to force the Yang clan to hand over the credit of recapturing the Divine Arm City, don't even think about it. Yu Dazhong is more than thirty years old, much older than Yang Bangxian, and he despises him in his heart, and he can stand such cold words.

Yu Dazhong, who felt offended, suddenly became angry in his heart, and was about to burst into trouble, but he was shocked to find that he was currently in the Banzhou camp. Yang Bangxian was surrounded by fierce sergeants, and his own soldiers were all stopped outside the barracks, and there were only two followers around him. Zan Wanshou avoided it, and Banzhou Yang's soft and hard did not eat, which made Yu Dazhong dumbfounded, so he had to retreat to the Yellow City on the other side of Shenjian City with people.

I thought that the trip to Shenjian City where I picked peaches turned out to be empty-handed, and I was treated coldly and humiliated, which made Yu Dazhong neither swallow the anger in his heart, nor be willing to get nothing. On the one hand, he sent people back to Chongqing Mansion to report to Yu Xing, and on the other hand, he was preparing to do something. In the eyes of everyone, the takeover was fat, and the henchmen who accompanied him thought that they would make a lot of money, but the money was not caught and they were smashed by stones and their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and they all asked Yu Dazhong to give Zan Wanshou and Banzhou Yang some color to see.

The waterway of Shenjian City is about 300 miles away from Chongqing Prefecture, and it takes three or four days to go back and forth even if it is a light boat. Yu Dazhong, under the instigation of his henchmen, was already in a daze, and decided not to wait for Yu Xing's reply, so he started his own revenge.

Yu Dazhong's revenge was actually to intercept the Thunderbolt Army and Banzhou's ships. Yu Xing lost 20,000 people in the Battle of Shenjian City, but most of these people were infantry troops, and his naval army did not hurt his muscles and bones. After Yu Xing returned to Chongqing, in order to prevent Liu Cheng from going downstream, he still left a thousand sailors and nearly 100 warships in Huangshi. When Zan Wanshou commanded the army and fought fiercely with Niu Ling in Shenjian City, this Song army's naval force did not come to help in the battle, but chose to sit on the wall and watch.

It was also the naval army of Huangshi that reported the battle situation to Yu Xing for the first time, so that Yu Xing sent Yu Dazhong to pick the victorious peaches for the first time. Yu Dazhong came this time and brought hundreds of people and dozens of warships, plus the Song army in Huangshi, his men had nearly 2,000 men and more than 100 warships. Although these warships are not enough to see in front of the Thunderbolt army, it is more than enough to deal with the weak surrounding new annex army and navy, and it is more than enough to bully the merchant ships and fishing boats.

Yu Dazhong knew that his men could not help the Banzhou army, let alone take the precipitous Shenjian City, so he asked his men to "enforce the law" in the waters near Huangshi - in fact, to seize the ships that came and went. Sichuan has frequent wars and various industries have withered, and civilian ships are very scarce. After the Battle of Divine Arm City, the Thunderbolt Army took control of the nearby water surface and reopened the water trade route blocked by Liu Quan.

Except for a small number of fishing boats, the civilian ships that sailed on the waters of Luzhou during this period were the merchant ships of the Nanyang Company from western Sichuan to Banzhou via the Chishui River. In Yu Dazhong's view, "law enforcement" can not only export evil spirits, but also "seize" a lot of property, which is really killing two birds with one stone. As for whether he would be impeached and robbed of civilian ships by Yanguan, he was also full of confidence - his father, Lord Yu Xing, the envoy of the Sichuan System Division, had already issued a decree requiring all states and counties to seize the ships of the Nanyang Company.

Because of the moths of Yu Xing's father and son, Zan Wanshou decided to stabilize them before issuing the order to march. Although the navy of Huang City could not pose a threat to the Thunderbolt army, it could easily cut off the water transportation line. Only by settling down the rear can Zan Wanshou rest assured that he can boldly go to Fushui. In terms of the strategy of dealing with Yu Xing's father and son, he is also ready to use political means, and it is really not okay to give some money, as long as Yu Xing's father and son ask for too much.

Unexpectedly, Yu Dazhong was stupid and ruthless, and he didn't play cards according to common sense at all, and directly flipped the table. Therefore, when Zan Wanshou received the news that eleven merchant ships of the Nanyang Company had been captured in the Yellow City, he was very shocked, and he really couldn't believe that Yu Dazhong was so bold and reckless, and his political IQ was so low, that he could do things that were quick for his enemies and hated for his relatives, and did things so desperately.

The warships of the two naval brigades of the Perak Army docked at the foot of Shenjian City, taking advantage of this rare opportunity to repair and prepare for the next operation to Fushun and to Jiantandu. It is no exaggeration to say that these two full-fledged naval brigades are overwhelming in the waters of Sichuan. What's more, the ships of the Nanyang Company were not transporting ordinary goods, but military supplies such as food, ammunition, and disinfectant alcohol, which were urgently needed by the Banzhou army after the war.

According to the plan, after the ships of the Nanyang Company dropped the goods at the Divine Arm Castle, they also had to transport the wounded soldiers of the Banju army back to Banju. Yu Dazhong actually plundered a merchant ship transporting war materials in front of the Thunderbolt army's sailors, which was not only a tiger's beard, but also an act of collaborating with the enemy and treason, which was simply ignorant and fearless. This not only made Zan Wanshou and Yang Bangxian extremely angry, but also made Yang Wen, who has always been calm, also take the case.

"If you can't bear it, you don't need to endure it anymore", the three of them discussed for a while, and then decided to use thunderous means to recapture the captured ships and supplies. Under the leadership of Yang Bangxian, the two naval brigades of the Perak Army were replaced with the banners of the Banzhou Army, and after carrying the light infantry brigade of Banzhou, they headed for Huangshi. At this time, Yu Dazhong was drinking with his henchmen in the camp to celebrate, and it was the time when the wine was hot.

Under the stimulation of alcohol and the flattery of the tide, Yu Dazhong felt that he was extremely wise and martial, and with a little trickery, he played with Zan Wanshou and Banzhou Yang in the palm of his hand, and couldn't help but be complacent. When his subordinates broke into the account in a panic, saying that hundreds of ships under the banner of Banzhou were approaching the Yellow City, he gave a long hiccup and arrogantly said: "What if you come, could it be that those Banzhou barbarians still dare to rebel?" ”

Taking advantage of the drunkenness, Yu Dazhong first let his henchmen beat the envoy sent by Yang Bangxian, and then ordered his subordinate naval warships to line up in a battle formation, posing as if they were not in oil and salt. Yang Bangxian was young and vigorous, and seeing that Yu Dazhong was so stubborn, he ordered the gunboats to also form a horizontal array and aim their side at the ships of the Huangshi navy.

Yang Bangxian ordered the warships to put on a fighting posture just for deterrence, and wanted to achieve the goal of surrendering the army without a fight. That knows, there was a ballista in the Huangshi Navy Army who was nervous, and with a shake of his hand, he actually fired a ballista, and the rest of the Song army warships saw this and opened fire one after another. Even if the other party fired first, Yang Bangxian refused to show weakness, and also ordered the artillery warship to fire.
