Chapter 1574: Hua Mulian
Until this time, Emperor Xinsong finally remembered Yuntian, and a holy decree arrived at the wind field, urgently transferring Yuntian into Huguang to suppress the rebellion of the vassal king.
In the past ten years, Yuntian has lived in seclusion in the wind field, teaching and educating people, and has a group of disciples under his seat.
After receiving the holy decree, he led thirty disciples and rushed to Huguang under the stars.
However, when Yun Tian led his people to Fengcheng, he suddenly found that there were only 3,000 left-behind soldiers in the entire Huguang, and the other soldiers had already been transferred to Fanxiang to defend Jingren.
There are no soldiers in hand, and the situation is critical.
Up and down Fengcheng, people were panicked, and no one was optimistic about Yuntian, thinking that Yuntian would definitely not be able to return to the sky.
Faced with the predicament, Yuntian was not in a hurry, and sent twenty disciples to various places immediately, recruited volunteers, issued a message, and sent troops to conscript.
At the same time, within Fengcheng, Yuntian sent ten other disciples to start a suspicious plan. If the vassal king goes east along the Yangtze River, the important land of Nanjing will definitely not be able to be kept. If Nanjing is lost, the rebels will have the political initiative, and it will be more difficult to quell the rebellion.
The point of the suspicious strategy is to make the rebels hesitate and not move east.
Wang Shouren pretended to spread the message to the king of Qin in various places, and posted fake posts along the way to confuse the vassal king, claiming that the imperial court had sent a total of 80,000 border soldiers and Beijing soldiers, together with his own troops in Nanjiang and Huguang and Liangguang, a total of 160,000, to prepare to attack Nanchang, the old nest of the vassal king. In order to gain time to gather troops, he wrote a wax book to the vassal king, asking them to persuade the vassal king to send troops to attack Nanjing, and deliberately leaked it to the vassal king. At this time, Li and Liu really persuaded the vassal king to march into Nanjing, but the vassal king was suspicious and did not move.
As a result, Yuntian got a valuable opportunity to recruit soldiers, and the court officials in Huguang came to help Yuntian, and Yuntian calmly gathered soldiers from various prefectures and counties, requisitioned military rations, and manufactured weapons and ships.
The vassal king hesitated, waited for more than ten days, and found out that the imperial court did not send so many soldiers at all, so he went down the east of the river and captured the two cities.
Just when the vassal king led 60,000 troops down the river to watch Nanjing, Yuntian had already led the hastily formed 80,000 Ping rebel army to smash the vassal king's lair and force the vassal king to come to the rescue.
At that time, a disciple suggested that Yuntian go to save Nanjing, but he refused, and analyzed: If we save and hold the main force of the vassal king on the river, then the garrison enemy will take advantage of the weakness to attack our back, and we will suffer the enemy on our belly and back; and we will go straight to Nanchang, Nanchang garrison is empty, and our army will be sharp and strong, and we will definitely be able to fall in one fell swoop; the vassal king will definitely come to the rescue, and then we will face the attack head-on, and we will definitely win.
As Yuntian expected, the elite of the vassal kings went to Nanjing, and the troops left behind in Nanchang were empty, Yuntian led his troops to attack Nanchang, and the vassal king returned to save Nanchang. In the end, the two sides fought a decisive battle at Yanghu, and after three days of fierce fighting, the vassal king was defeated and captured.
After only 35 days, the rebellion of the vassal kings came to an end.
In just over a month, with only 3,000 soldiers, Yuntian miraculously quelled the rebellion of the vassal king.
Xinsong, who was crumbling and embarrassed both internally and externally, suddenly injected a shot in the arm, and the government and the opposition rejoiced.
However, at this time, the situation of Xinsong is still not impressive.
Outside, the Jingren army was 200,000 and launched a fierce attack on the Fanxiang area.
Inside, thieves are everywhere, due to the unfavorable conquest, the bandit leaders of several parties have become a climate, and they have also dragged up an army of 300,000, divided into five directions, and launched a fierce attack on Xinsong.
Yuntian pacified the rebellion of the vassal king, but only swept away the turbulence of Xinsong, but it did not completely save Xinsong.
In any case, Yuntian's rapid suppression of the rebellion still greatly relieved the pressure on the Xinsong Dynasty, and more importantly, after pacifying the vassal king, Yuntian absorbed and reorganized the rebels, and had 120,000 soldiers under his command.
The emperor's decree immediately arrived in Huguang, appointing Yuntian as the general of counterinsurgency, and Yuntian immediately went to pacify the five thieves in Xinsong.
In fact, at this time, Yun Tian personally thought that the battlefield he should go to the most should be Fanxiang, after all, compared to the thieves, the threat of Jingren was much greater.
Once Fanxiang is lost, at least five or six wealthy counties will be exposed to the iron hooves of the Jingren, and there is no danger to defend.
It's just that at this time, to Yuntian's great surprise, there was a little general in Fanxiang City, who rose rapidly in the process of fighting against Jingren.
The little general's name is Hua Mulian.
For some reason, after Yun Tian saw General Hua Mulian's information, he always felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't know what was wrong.
According to the military newspaper, Hua Mulian became famous for a sneak attack by the enemy.
Once, when the enemy attacked the barracks, Hua Mulian offered a plan to deliberately let the old, weak, sick and disabled resist head-on, while the elite troops took the opportunity to raid behind the enemy, taking the enemy by surprise and defeating them.
As a result, Hua Mulian was promoted to pioneer. After the defeat of the enemy army, he was angry and angry, gathered all his troops and horses, and fought to the death.
After that, Hua Mulian led the army to take the initiative to attack, resisted flexibly, trekked through mountains and rivers, attacked the east and west, and won successive victories. Once, the lone army went deeper, Hua Mulian was surrounded by the enemy, and the situation was very critical. In this battle, Hua Mulian was very powerful, personally cut the enemy's main general under the horse, and then waved the army to advance, and drove the enemy army outside the pass with one blow, played a triumphant song, and led the army back.
When the court heard the news, it was rewarded for meritorious deeds, and Hua Mulian was named a marquis, and the overall situation of Fanxiang stabilized.
It is precisely because of the existence of Hua Mulian that Xinsong does not need to urgently transfer Yuntian to Fanxiang to participate in the war, but let Yuntian be the main general to quell the rebellion in Xinsong.
The five major rebels in Xinsong have been in trouble for a long time, and the strongest of them has even been in operation for ten years, which is very troublesome.
Before Yuntian led his troops into Nankang, Nankang, Ganzhou, and Ganxian military masters died on the battlefield, and the soldiers and civilians mourned all over the field. After Yuntian arrived, he knew that many people in the government were the eyes and ears of thieves, so he questioned the old and cunning servant, and the servant trembled and did not dare to hide it, and confessed truthfully.
Yuntian pardoned the sins, and let the spy in turn spy spy on the rebels, so he grasped the thieves' movements. Later, the soldiers near Yuntian Chuanyu will meet their troops and first crusade against the strongest Tai Mo Shan bandits.
There are more than 100,000 thieves in Tai Mo Shan, it has existed for many years, there are many generals, the strength is strong, Yun Tian led the elite to camp troops around Tai Mo Shan, and then pretended not to resist the enemy, retreated backwards, the enemy army was arrogant, entered the cloud sky ambush circle, Yun Tian surprised the enemy, attacked in a big way, broke more than 40 villages, killed and captured more than 70,000 people. Tai Mo Shan was broken in one fell swoop.
The strongest thief army was broken, and the other Quartet thief armies were suddenly shocked, did not dare to confront it head-on, and fled into the mountains one after another.
In just March, Yuntian broke 84 nests, killing and capturing more than 70,000 people. The army of a hundred battles grew bigger and bigger, and soon prepared a full 200,000 elite division.
In the following year, Yuntian divided his troops into four divisions, one for himself, and the other three were led by his own personal disciples, and went deep into the mountainous areas of bandits to conduct conquests.
The army of Yuntian is brave and good at fighting, and the discipline is strict, and even the heads of thieves are beheaded, and the thieves are terrified.
In just one year, Yuntian has cleared out all the thieves in Xinsong, and the internal worries of the entire Xinsong are suddenly light.
At this time, outside Fanxiang City, the confrontation between Xin Song and Jingren also reached its peak.
Jingren continued to display troops, and 400,000 troops pressed the border.
Xin Song also increased the number of troops to Fanxiang City to more than 200,000 and strictly guarded it.
After several years of conquest, the mighty general Hua Mulian also rose rapidly in Fanxiang and became the general of Fanxiang, and her reputation was unparalleled for a while.
At this time, there were two generals in the Xinsong Dynasty.
South clouds, north lotus.
Among them, Hua Mulian led 200,000 troops and stationed in Fanxiang; Yuntian Su Xinsong thieves and thieves once led as many as 250,000 troops, and after some reorganization and removal of turnips, finally retained 150,000 elite soldiers, known as the Yunjia Iron Army.
At this time, out of consideration for the overall situation of Fanxiang and for the consideration of balancing the generals of the dynasty, Emperor Xinsong issued an order to let Yuntian lead the Yunjia Iron Army to march into Fanxiang, and appointed Yuntian as the general of Fanxiang and Hua Mulian as the deputy general to jointly resist the Jingren army.
Emperor Xinsong's plan is very simple, that is, to plant thorns.
Let Hua Mulian, who originally commanded an army of 200,000, be the deputy general, and let Yun Tian, who only has an army of 150,000, be the main general, just to make these two peerless generals unhappy and create a gap, so that the dynasty can control it.
However, something happened that Emperor Xinsong did not expect.
After Yuntian led the troops into Fanxiang and joined the army with Hua Mulian, he actually had a feeling of sympathy, and he hit it off at first sight, and soon completed the run-in.
Yun Tian admired Hua Mulian's spirit and bravery, and Hua Mulian admired Yun Tian's strategic courage and overall situation.
The two hit it off and worked together quite happily.
The two genius generals joined forces together, and soon produced a strange effect that one plus one was greater than two.
The 35th Army of Xinsong against the 400,000 army of Jingren originally occupied a certain disadvantage.
However, at the time of the first decisive battle, Yun Tian led Fan Xiang's 200,000 army to surround the periphery, and Hua Mulian led 150,000 Yun Jia's iron army to attack head-on, and under the first battle, he won a complete victory and destroyed more than 100,000 enemies.
Jingren had to flee in the starry night, Yuntian and Hua Mulian soldiers divided into two ways, chased and killed all the way, annihilated 50,000 enemy troops before and after, captured 60,000 enemy troops, conquered the five counties in one fell swoop, and directly entered the hinterland of Jingren.
