Da Kui continued the pursuit with a dozen cavalry, and chased straight under the drawbridge in front of the city gate.

A general behind him hurriedly persuaded: "General Zhang, don't go deeper." ”

When Da Kui heard this, he pulled the reins of his horse, and stopped in front of the city gate and said, "Well, cut the sling and occupy the city gate." When the team arrived, they took Suzhou in one fell swoop. "The red turban soldiers will take the order, and someone will carry a knife and cut the lock.

Da Kui took these dozens of people to guard in front of the city gate, and there was really a man who was invincible.

Da Kui and the others waited in front of the city gate for an hour, but they didn't see the Yuan soldiers attacking from the city. How do you know that the chief and deputy generals of Suzhou and several partial generals have been killed in battle, and there are more than 10,000 soldiers who are already leaderless. The white-armored escort officer entered the city and spread the word about Da Kui's tough style, and these soldiers, along with the servants of the Sucheng garrison, followed the escort officer from the other gates and fled to abandon the city.

Da Kui waited in front of the city gate until it was almost dark, and then he saw the red scarf horse infantry army coming one after another. When Da Kui led his troops into the city, he found that Suzhou was already an empty city. Da Kui and Yang Yonghuai and other generals gathered together, and it was midnight when they found the city guard mansion to settle down, Yang Yonghuai set up city defenses at the four city gates, and arranged the city patrol soldiers and horses, so he was relieved. This battle is really a joyful battle. More than 30,000 enemies were annihilated, and countless ordnance and more than 2,000 horses were captured.

Everyone was tired, but the excitement was palpable. The soldiers of the red scarves set up pots on the street to cook, and everyone ate like gobbling up, and then found a place to fall asleep.

On the second day, when the morning rooster broke dawn and the east was exposed, Suzhou was boiling. The people rushed to tell each other, and Suzhou was recovered. The excited people of Suzhou donated grain, cloth and silver money, and the Red Turban soldiers on the street were moved to tears, but they refused to accept any grain, rice, money and goods.

When Da Kui and Yang Yonghuai heard this, they were surrounded by a large crowd of people as soon as they left the city to guard the mansion. Da Kui is not good at words, and he makes a disgrace. Yang Yonghuai had the heart to see the joke, so he raised his voice and said: "This person next to me is my Great Song General General Zhang." If you have anything to do, please look for General Zhang. "The people carried rice, melons, fruits, and other things in their hands. They all stuffed Da Kui into his arms, and Da Kui refused. I yelled when I was annoyed: "I don't want to." There was silence all around.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him without speaking, Da Kui held back for a while before saying to the people around him: "Folks, I Da Kui is also a poor person. I used to be a woodcutter at home, and the land I planted at home was rented. It's good to have something to eat and not starve to death, and I know it's not easy for everyone. I and my brothers will never take a copper plate from the people. After a pause, he said, "I'm done." ”

Yang Yonghuai couldn't help but smile and said to the people around him: "The villagers are all scattered, don't delay your livelihood." When the people saw this, they dispersed.

On the third day of taking Suzhou, Da Kui couldn't sit still, found Yang Yonghuai and asked, "Brother Yang, now that so many days have passed, when will you be able to take Xuzhou?"

Yang Yonghuai said: "General Zhang, if we go to take Xuzhou now, who will guard this Suzhou?"

Da Kui scratched his head and said, "I didn't think about it. ”

Yang Yonghuai said with a smile: "At the beginning of entering the city, I ordered someone to inform the marshal quickly, and I will send someone to take over Suzhou in the near future." Da Kui was relieved.

At this time, I only listened to the noise outside the door. Da Kui and Yang Yonghuai went out curiously, only to see more than a dozen people kneeling on the ground and shouting grievances. Da Kui encountered such a battle, and he hurriedly went over to help the people up one by one. A sixty-year-old man burst into tears and said, "General Zhang has to make decisions for us." ”

Da Kui said: "Uncle, if there is anything, you can tell me, and I will support you." ”

The old man said: "A few days ago, the rebels entered the city and did not commit any offense with Minqiu. Unbeknownst to them, many people came to join the army, and there were many bandits from Fenglin Village. The old man's daughter-in-law was robbed up the mountain by the bandits of Fenglinzhai a few years ago, and my son was also killed. The old man came to beg the general to avenge us. After that, the old man was silent.

The people behind the old man also cried one by one about the crimes of Fenglin Village, and Da Kui was furious when he heard it. Now that the Tartars are exploiting the people, these bandits are maliciously oppressing them, which is an unforgivable sin.

At that moment, Da Kui ordered all the men and horses to exterminate Fenglin Village, and Yang Yonghuai hurriedly grabbed Da Kui and said: "General Zhang is angry, and first find these bandits who have joined the army and ask them to know the truth." He turned his head and asked the old man: "This old man is not in a hurry, you wait and go back first." We will do you justice if we find out the truth. ”

Da Kui and Yang Yonghuai took a few personal soldiers to find the recruitment station, and the partial general in charge of recruiting saw that the main general had arrived and got up to greet him. When Da Kui met, he asked: "I heard that there are people from Fenglin Village who are coming to join the army, where is it?"

The recruiting general said: "In the military camp in the south of the city", he took out an account book and looked at it: "There are twenty-three of them, and the leader is called Wang Huailie." Da Kui didn't greet Yang Yonghuai, turned around and left.

Da Kui, Yang Yonghuai and the others found the military camp in the south of the city, entered the military camp, found the captain in charge of the military camp, and asked him to gather all the recruits together, without waiting for Yang Yonghuai to question. Da Kui shouted: "Who is called Wang Huailie, come out." ”

A soldier came out trembling, but before he could speak. Da Kui stepped forward and grabbed his collar and said, "Someone came to General Ben to cry and complain, saying that you robbed the people's girls and killed the people, do you know the guilt?"

This soldier is Wang Huailie, this Wang Huailie straightened up on the ground and knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic: "The general spares his life, the general spares his life." ”

Before Da Kui could attack, Yang Yonghuai grabbed him, and then asked Wang Huailie: "You tell me the reason carefully." ”

Wang Huailie said: "We were indeed bandits in Fenglin Village before, but we have never done anything to rob the women and oppress the people, it was all done by the owner of Fenglin Village. If there is a lie, I wish to be punished by God. ”

Yang Yonghuai understood when he heard this, and asked, "Who is the owner of Fenglin Village?"

Wang Huailie didn't dare to hide it, and said truthfully: "The owner of Fenglin Village is called Feng Biao, who has more than Chinese New Year's Eve today, is strong in martial arts, good at making big swords, and is straightforward and open-minded. Liu Yishuiyuan, the owner of the second village, is a talent. Later, the government canceled the imperial examination, and then went up the mountain to vote for Feng Biao. There were three or five thousand men gathered in the village."

When Yang Yonghuai heard this, he said to Da Kui: "This matter has nothing to do with them, let's discuss it in the long run." ”

Da Kui said angrily: "Order 10,000 horses, I want to set foot in Fenglin Village." ”

Yang Yonghuai said: "General Zhang, go back with me, let's discuss slowly." As he spoke, he said to Wang Huailie: "You get up first and come with us." After speaking, he pulled Da Kui back to the city guard's mansion.

At noon that day, Wang Huailie took Yang Yonghuai and dozens of soldiers to Fenglin Mountain. Along the rugged mountain road to the halfway up the mountain, you can see the Fenglin Village Gate in the distance. When I came to the gate of the village, there were already minions blocking the way. As soon as this minion saw Wang Huailie, he smiled and said, "Oh, isn't this Brother Wang? I heard that you went down the mountain to join the army, why did you come back again?"

Wang Huailie let go and pointed at Yang Yonghuai and said, "This General Yang has something important to discuss with the owner of the village. ”

Minions looked Yang Yonghuai up and down for a while before saying, "You wait here, I'll pass it on." With that, he turned around and entered the cottage.
