Liu Futong spent a year working hard to recuperate, and now it is time to make a difference with 150,000 elite soldiers and 1,000 generals. At present, the Yuan court is corrupt, and the disobedience of the military lords in various places to the government order also gives the Great Song Dynasty a chance to breathe.

At the beginning of February 1356, King Xiaoming of the Great Song Dynasty was the general Zhang Dakui as the general, and Yang Yonghuai was the deputy general. Commanding 50,000 Ma Bujun to take Xuzhou, all the way to the county and the county heard the wind and surrendered to the congregation. Before arriving in Xuzhou, the Red Turban Army under Da Kui had increased to 80,000.

When he arrived at the city of Xuzhou, it was already dark at night, and Da Kui ordered the brigade to camp thirty miles south of the city. At this time, the gate of Xuzhou was closed, and the city was heavily guarded. In the Chinese military account, Da Kui and deputy general Yang Yonghuai frowned, and the city of Xuzhou was thick and heavily guarded, how could they take it?

At this moment, the messenger outside the door said, "General Zhang, the night patrol soldier caught a spy." ”

Da Kui was stunned when he heard this, and then said to Yang Yonghuai: "I'm not familiar with this interrogation, let's come to Brother Yang." ”

Yang Yonghuai nodded and instructed the soldiers: "Bring the spy in." ”

The soldiers were ordered out of the tent, and after a short time two soldiers escorted a man who looked like a common man into the tent.

This so-called spy is dressed up by the people, Yang Yonghuai looked at this person, and then asked, "What are you doing?"

The people said: "The little one's name is Feng Liu, and he is a common person in the vicinity, who originally wanted to enter the city. When I saw that the city gate was closed, I walked home, but I didn't expect to be arrested by the military master. ”

Yang Yonghuai nodded and said, "You don't look like a spy, these soldiers are too unconscious." After a pause, Yang Yonghuai smiled and said: "It's not too early, so let's do it tonight, and I will be the host." Someone will send you back after dinner. ”

Feng Liu hurriedly bowed down and said, "How dare you bother the general, it's okay." I'll go back. ”

Yang Yonghuai stretched out his hand and beckoned: "Hey, if you come, you will be safe." Then he ordered the men to set up tables and chairs in the tent, and to serve wine and food.

During the banquet, Yang Yonghuai said: "Come, fellow." The soldiers were offended, and the generals did it first to pay respect, which was considered to be an apology. With that, he raised his glass and drank the wine in his glass.

Feng Liuzhi didn't drink, only said no. Yang Yonghuai didn't care that he only drank his own, Da Kui sat on the main seat and looked stunned, not knowing what medicine Yang Yonghuai sold in the gourd.

After a while, Yang Yonghuai said: "I'll go and relieve my hands, and the fellow doesn't have to be polite." After saying that, he left the tent, and after a short time he returned, sat back in his seat and continued to drink.

After drinking two more cups, Yang Yonghuai said: "This cup is too small, let's change to a big bowl." Then he raised his voice and commanded, "Come, bring a big bowl." "Not long after, a captain came in with a jar of wine and a few big bowls, and it was Jia San.

Jia San came in and took a look: "Oh, I said." What day, so many dishes?"

Yang Yonghuai scolded: "If you want to eat and drink, sit down, it's so verbose there." ”

Jia Sanyi hurriedly grabbed the seat and distributed a big bowl to everyone. I poured myself a bowl and tasted it, "Wow, this burning knife is so powerful." "Raise your chopsticks and start eating.

Yang Yonghuai scolded: "You kid is blind? Jia San hurriedly raised his hand to apologize, stood up and poured a bowl for everyone, and then ate and drank by himself.

Yang Yonghuai said to Feng Liu: "Come to the fellow countryman, let's do three bowls." ”

Feng Liuyi listened and said, "The villain doesn't know how to drink."

Jia Sanyi reached out and took the waist knife and slapped it on the table and said to Feng Liu: "I have a bad temper since I was a child, and now I haven't killed anyone for more than ten days." If you know each other, drink the wine, or hehe. Jia San's face was fierce, his eyes were not big, and this smile was even more terrifying.

How dare Feng Liu slack off, he picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, and Jia San poured the people and drank it again. After three bowls like this, Feng Liu shook and lay on the table.

Yang Yonghuai took a mouthful of food alone and ate it in his mouth, chewed it slowly before he said coldly: "Search." ”

Jia San stretched out his hand and reached into Feng Liu's arms and touched it for a long time, "No." ”

Yang Yonghuai said again: "Stripped naked and searched carefully." ”

Jia San immediately moved, and finally found a mezzanine inside Feng Liu's dirty clothes, and took out a letter from it. Yang Yonghuai took it and saw that it was a secret letter, and the envelope was covered with fire paint and sealed. Yang Yonghuai turned the letter upside down, carefully opened the envelope on the other end of the letter, took out the letterhead, and watched it carefully by the candlelight.

The letter said: "General Baguer Taijian, the Red Turban bandits gathered 100,000 people to commit Xuzhou. Now that the troops have come to the city, the existing 50,000 armored soldiers in Xuzhou may be difficult to resist, and I hope that the general will quickly lead the troops to rescue. "The payment is Xuzhou garrison Gullit.

After reading the letter, Yang Yonghuai returned the original package and sealed the envelope. Tell Jia San to put the letter back on Feng Liu's clothes, and then dress him. It was difficult for Da Kui to ask where he was sitting, so Yang Yonghuai said: "Find him a camp tent to rest and inform the sentry." Tonight, only the dark sentry will be put and the bright sentry will sleep in place. Jia San took the order and carried the so-called people out on his shoulders.

Da Kui hurriedly asked what was going on, and Yang Yonghuai said: "The Xuzhou garrison asked Suzhou for help, and the letter said that Xuzhou only had 50,000 soldiers. ”

Da Kui asked, "What should we do?"

Yang Yonghuai said: "Since Xuzhou is asking for help, we might as well intercept and kill the Suzhou reinforcements halfway." Then take advantage of the situation to take Suzhou. Da Kui hurriedly said: "The marshal asked us to take Xuzhou." ”

Yang Yonghuai smiled and said: "The art of war is said to be 'attacking the city for the bottom', if we delay here in the marshal's plan." It is better to take Suzhou first, and then map Xuzhou if you have a foothold. ”

Da Kui said: "Before going out, the marshal said that I should listen to you, and you can do whatever you say." As he spoke, he picked up the bowl and was about to drink.

, Yang Yonghuai stretched out his hand and said, "There is sweat medicine in the wine." ”

Da Kui was stunned: "Didn't you drink it too?"

Yang Yonghuai said with a smile: "We use the antidote in advance. The two of them looked at each other and smiled...

In the middle of the night, Feng Liu opened his eyes. Several soldiers in the tent were sleeping with their heads covered, and Feng Liu stretched out his hand to grope in his arms to relax his heart. He got up lightly and walked out of the camp tent, and when he went out and saw that there was no one in the four fields, he took this opportunity to go all the way out of the camp, although he encountered two patrol teams on the way, he skillfully avoided them.

At noon on the second day, on the official road leading to Xuzhou, a group of soldiers and horses spread from south to north, and I saw the military flag waving and the armor sonorous. The leading general, Bagul, rode leisurely on his horse, and he was not in a hurry. Suzhou has been guarded by a deputy general, and this time he brought 30,000 soldiers and horses to save Xuzhou, and then the two sides will be annihilated in one fell swoop. Baguer couldn't help but feel good when he thought of this, the mountains and forests on both sides were lush and green, and the birds were singing to people's hearts.

Bargul was leading the way, and in the distance a single man on horseback stopped in the middle of the road. From a distance, this man was red, and even the horse was red. When he got closer, Bagul rode a few steps forward and asked, "Whoever is in the way, get out of the way." ”

This person is Da Kui, Da Kui shouted: "I will open this road, I will plant this tree, if you want to pass by, leave money." ”

Bagul almost burst out laughing when he heard this, and a general next to him made a move, and dozens of crossbowmen grabbed his side and opened their bows and arrows, just waiting for the order.
