Chapter Twenty-Three: The Former General of the Private City Looks Angry and Rides His Horse (1)

The evening is coming, and the spring rain is dripping. Ten miles away from the city gate, it is the place where the sea will be stationed, only to see the soldiers seem to have changed their appearance, everyone is frowning slightly, the pace is heavy, the blade does not leave the body, patrolling back and forth, it seems that in the dark night of the rain, there will be a strong army, night attack on Dazhai. But they are not afraid in their hearts, even if the blood stains the armor and the sky red, they are willing to fight those Tartar soldiers to the end with the pride of "although tens of millions of people will go to me".

Lu Yincong stood at the door of the tent, using his hands to catch the falling raindrops, and for a while, he thought about it a thousand times. He was worried about the safety of his third brother Huo, and at this time, he could finally deeply understand the sadness and pain of his father and brothers when he was detained by Zhang Gui and them; at the same time, he still had a deep worry and concern in his heart, that was Ruan Xizhi, who was engaged to him for life. Ever since she had fled on horseback, her own soul had gone with her, and she had always hidden in his deep brows and heavy sighs, letting him know the bitter taste of lovesickness and melancholy worry. At this time, he looked at the clear rain outside the tent, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but whisper: "Sister Zhi, you must not have anything!"

The shadow that fell on the tent flashed, and he only heard Yin Zhengli behind him say: "Yin Cong, the general master is here, we should discuss the siege of the city!" Lu Yincong turned around and saw that his father was already sitting in the middle position, so he also went over and sat on the top left. The heroes had already sat down in batches, ready to discuss how to use the troops, and just now they were waiting for Lu Yusi.

Lu Yusi said to Liu Guangzhi: "Eighth brother, Yi Xiao said that the injury of the thirteenth brother is not very serious, and you don't need to worry too much!" Liu Guangzhi said: "The general master is right!" Lu Yusi said to Zhongxiong: "Today, the fourth brother and the sixth brother heard that the third brother is in a cellar over there, so as long as the third brother does not leave Hangzhou, it will be much more convenient for us to save people!" Lu Yincong said: "The general master, although the third brother did not leave Hangzhou at this time, I am afraid that those officials will have uncertainties, so we must save the third brother quickly!" Lu Yusi nodded and said: "That's natural! Judging from the current situation, we are bound to have a desperate battle with the Hangzhou defenders! This city is impossible to attack!" Zhao Xiaoyu said: "This siege of the city is bound to cost the lives of a large number of brothers! Alas, but ...... But if you don't attack the city, there is no other way!" Lu Yincong said: "I also feel heartache when I fight like this!"

Lu Yusi looked at Lu Yincong and Zhao Xiaoyan, knowing that these two people had always had a benevolent and righteous heart, and this time they wanted to attack the city, even if they agreed, they must be very reluctant in their hearts, so he said: "This siege, we are definitely not as expended as others when they attacked the city in the past, if we can't think of how to fight this city wall with a small number of people, we don't have to fight like this!" After he said this, sure enough, Lu Yincong and Zhao Xiaoyan's colors slowed slightly.

Song Wenxuan said: "The general master, brothers, everyone also knows that our war this time is different from the past, this person, must be damaged! I just hope that everyone can hold on, and we must rescue the third brother, rescue the third brother, and the road will be easy to walk in the future!" Lu Yusi said: "The fourth brother, do you have a good plan now?" Song Wenxuan said: " At present, we are about to go to war with the heavy soldiers of Hangzhou, either we will write a war letter, or they will come down, I think, we might as well take the lead and put down the war book first, so that they can know that we have also brought many people, and we are not afraid of them!"

Yin Zhengli said: "Our men and horses are ready, ready to fight at any time!" Lu Yusi said: "Okay! Now I will start to distribute men and horses!" When all the heroes heard this, they all stood up, but they heard Lu Yusi say loudly: "I and Yin Cong, the fifth brother, the sixth brother, the eighth brother, and the tenth brother went to the front to fight the enemy; the fourth brother, the fourth brother and sister, the eleventh brother, and the fourteenth brother stood still in the village!" Song Wenxuan frowned, but he did not speak, and all the heroes agreed in unison, but he heard Lu Yusi continue: "The fourth brother plans to write a battle book tonight. Today is the 26th of February, and we will go to war with them on the first day of the first month of March, and tell them that if the third brother has any three strengths and two weaknesses, the sea will rather burn the jade with them!

Song Wenxuan said: "After fighting with the defenders of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, our Dazhai will soon be discovered, and the enemy may not be able to attack Dazhai at night, from this moment on, we will dig a sink in Dazhai, so that when they come to sneak attack, they will fall on their backs!" Lu Yusi said: "Then now all the brothers will go and call people to dig a pit! I and the fourth brother will study it to see if we can come up with any good strategy!"

As soon as everyone left, Song Wenxuan asked: "The junior brother doesn't understand something, so he has to ask the general master!" Lu Yusi smiled: "The fourth brother just said." Song Wenxuan said: "When the general manager allocates people, why do you want to let the eighth brother go forward and let the fourteenth brother stay in the barracks? Now that the thirteenth brother is injured and the eighth brother is in battle, I don't know if it can be done!" Lu Yusi looked at Song Wenxuan and said: "Fourth brother, I think so, I know that the eighth brother and the thirteenth brother have a deep brotherhood, and even the eighth brother is like a father to the thirteenth brother, but every time the thirteenth brother has something to do, the eighth brother always has no way to settle down and do things, which is not good for our gang, and it is not good for himself and the thirteenth brother!" The thirteenth brother is still too young and has a weak temperament, but it is precisely his weakness and immaturity that makes his brother always worry about him, and the eighth brother himself will not be able to let go of his hands and feet! If this continues, not only will the thirteenth brother never be independent, but the eighth brother will also be unchic, and it will be difficult to reach the point where he could have reached! This time, I want to experience the two of them, so that the eighth brother can overcome his own worries, and let the thirteenth brother leave the care of the eighth brother and learn to be independent by himself! When Song Wenxuan heard this, he couldn't help but look at Lu Yusi with bright eyes, and then heard Lu Yusi continue: "The fourteenth brother has just joined the gang, I don't think he can go forward to fight the enemy, and I don't want him to always feel that he has to make meritorious contributions to the gang and become anxious! Let him come to the village and calm his mind, so it's good! Besides, there must be a person with strong martial arts in this village!"

When Song Wenxuan heard this, he couldn't help but say proudly: "Compared with the General Lord, I know people and see people so far apart!" and sincerely admired: "The General Lord, you ...... You sent people well, and the little brother is ashamed of himself!"

Lu Yusi smiled and laughed at himself: "I'm past the age of not being confused, if I don't understand it anymore, all these years will be in vain!" He asked again: "Fourth brother, do we have any other good plans?" Song Wenxuan said: "The little brother hasn't come up with it yet, let's guard Dazhai well for the time being! There are also a lot of schemes on the Jiangsu and Zhejiang sides, and if we look at the war book, they will definitely come up with a lot of strategies! I hate these people, although they are talented, but they serve the Tartars, and bring a group of Tartar soldiers to fight us Han people!" It's really bearable, it's unbearable!" Lu Yusi said: "Then our brother can only act cautiously now!" Song Wenxuan nodded and said: "Act cautiously, and then don't fall into the enemy's way." If we plan it, we may have a good plan!" Lu Yu thought about it: "Then what plan do you think they will come up with?" Song Wenxuan said: "I can't see the mind of this provincial official of Jiangsu and Zhejiang! It is said that the third brother should have been sent to Dadu a long time ago, but now he is still in Hangzhou! Although this is beneficial to us, I don't know what these people think! Now you ask me what plan they will use, I really can't guess this! I think that if they don't have any other ghosts, at most they will set up an ambush, as long as we are careful, we will not fall into their way!" Lu Yusi nodded and said: "Outside the city gate, the terrain is very changeable, if they are ambushed, we have to be careful! However, it is more convenient for us to use this terrain than them! Behind their city gate is the city, and we are located in such a place where we can do something!" Song Wenxuan said: " Although they are in the city behind the city gate, they can lead us to the complex terrain from both sides of the city gate, and they can also go around this vast place! Let's not set up an ambush first, and see what the enemy makes first!" Lu Yusi knew that Song Wenxuan had always been cautious, and he also agreed with Song Wenxuan's suggestion, but Lu Yusi thought in his mind that if Zhao Rong was there, he might still have some good plans to surprise the enemy.

However, at this time, the Weihai Association was discussing the siege of the city, and the officials of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces were also discussing how to take this opportunity to exterminate the Weihai Society in one fell swoop. In the Yuan Dynasty, the highest official of Xingzhongshu Province was the prime minister of the province, and the Mongols generally took this position, and the prime minister of the province usually served in Zhongshu Province, in fact, it was only a fictitious post in Xingzhongshu Province, so the actual highest governor in the province was actually the two Pingzhang in the province. There are other officials in the province, under the ordinary chapter, there are the left and right prime ministers, followed by the governor, followed by Langzhong, followed by the foreign minister, and finally the capital. The two Pingzhang in this Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, one is called Zhang Wushi, the other is called Jiang Congwai, and this Jiang Congwai has a daughter, called Jiang Miyu, who once accompanied his father and another Pingzhang to Wei Shu and his family to capture the Haihui, so that he has good marksmanship. The left prime minister is called Ye Xiang, and the right prime minister is Ye Zhiwen. There are also two governors who can't come up with big ideas, and Zhang Wushi and Jiang Congwai never call the two of them because they usually discuss things. There is a resourceful person in this Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, that is, this is from Wupinlang Zhongwei Qingjun, this person is young, he already has quite a city government, and he usually discusses major matters in the province, and he often plans for the two Pingzhang.

At this time, it was raining lightly outside, and the officials of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces gathered at the mansion where Zhang Wushi and Jiang Congwai usually handled official affairs. Zhang Wushi had already sent two governors and governors to guard the city gate in the rain to prevent the Haihui from raiding at night, and at this time, he and another Pingzhangjiang were discussing with the left prime minister Ye Xiang, the right prime minister Ye Zhiwen, and Lang Zhongwei Qingjun how to exterminate the Haihui.

But Jiang Miyu was also sitting next to his father at this time, and Jiang Cong could let this daughter participate in the deliberations, firstly, because he really loved this pearl in his palm too much, and secondly, because his daughter was also quite scheming and could give them ideas. I saw that Jiang Miyu was nineteen years old, tall, with a dark complexion, and a pair of eyes that were blazing, she sat there without speaking, but she was already full of authority.

But I heard this Zhang Wushi say: "I thought that one blow could destroy the Haihui, but I didn't expect it...... Alas, now that we and Yu Haihui are about to go to war head-on, what should we do?" Jiang Congwai also frowned, he looked at Wei Qingjun, knowing that he was injured, and asked, "Qingjun, how is your injury?" Wei Qingjun smiled and said, "It's out of the way, I'm just too careless!" He looked at Jiang Miyu, his eyes flickered. Jiang Miyu looked at Wei Qingjun with concern and said, "Mr. Wei must take care of yourself!" Wei Qingjun nodded and said softly: "Thank you girl, it's okay." "The eyes are gentle, as if they are about to burst out of the water.

But he heard Ye Xiang say: "Lord Ye has a good plan, but I don't know what the plan is at this time?" Ye Zhiwen said: "We have to strictly guard the city gate! Our city wall is so high, if they want to attack it, they must lose a large number of troops! Hmph...... Do they have such troops!" Jiang Congwai said: "We still don't know the strength of the Haihui Society, so we can't underestimate them!"

Wei Qingjun said: "Several adults, according to the lower officials, we really can't underestimate them. Not only because we don't know how many troops they have now, but also because they occupy a large expanse of land. If they set up an ambush in this place, then we will be filled with too many undecided numbers!" Jiang Congwai said: "Then Qingjun, do you have any good ideas?" Wei Qingjun said: "In my opinion, we will also set up an ambush! We will not set up an ambush on their side, but on the outskirts of our city on both sides of the city gate!"

Jiang Miyu nodded and said, "Mr. Wei's idea is indeed very good!" Ye Zhiwen sneered beside him: "Set up an ambush, will people fall into your trap?" Wei Qingjun said: "How can we not fall into our trap if we arrange a feint in the front formation?" The people of the gang are reckless and reckless six or seven times out of ten!" Ye Xiang said: "Don't think so much that people are reckless and reckless! I think we should be more cautious!"

Wei Qingjun knew that Ye Xiang and Ye Zhiwen had always sung and harmonized, so he calmed down and said, "Lord Ye is right, we should indeed be cautious. But prudence does not mean that we cannot lay an ambush at all! We ourselves should be cautious not to fall into the enemy's trap, and when the time comes, we will lead the enemy into our ambush step by step!"

Jiang Miyu said: "I think, recently, they must give us a war letter! If we do an ambush, we must start now!" Wei Qingjun looked at her and nodded: "The girl is right, we have to start preparing!"

Ye Zhiwen knew that an ambush was indeed a comprehensive strategy, so he could only hold back his disgust with Wei Qingjun and said, "Then set up an ambush first!" Zhang Wushi said: "We can set up an ambush on the right side of the city gate, where the terrain is more rugged." Dig some pits, put bamboo sticks and other things in the pits, and make the pits big and deep enough for both people and horses to fall into. There should be more soldiers in ambush, and I will destroy all those who did not fall into it!" Wei Qingjun nodded and said: "There are a lot of bushes over there, and you must ambush the soldiers in the bushes, and when the thieves arrive, they will throw out thistles and bamboo sticks." Jiang said to Ye Xiang from outside: "Lord Ye, you go and send someone to start digging the pit!" Ye Xiang took the order and left the mansion.

Zhang Wushi said: "There are also some of our gunpowder weapons, which must be ready now!" Jiang Congwai said: "Thunderbolts, earth-shaking thunder, muskets, assault muskets, and bronze firecrackers are all ready." I had already prepared it when I caught Huo Taifeng, just in case there was a day! The muskets were a little damp, and they didn't seem to be a little easy to use, I didn't put them together with those weapons, and I had them baked them a little time ago, and now ...... I'm afraid it's a little better than before. ”

Zhang Wushi said: "I don't know if there are these gunpowder weapons in the Na Hai Society, but even if they do, our high city wall is enough for them!" Jiang Congwai smiled: "Exactly, such a high city wall, it's strange if they don't fall to death!"

Jiang Miyu said: "Since ancient times, in wars, the arrangement of soldiers in the front is the most important. I don't know how Zhang Shibo and his father thought about it?" Zhang Wushi said: "We have recruited ten martial arts masters this time. Of these ten people, it is enough to send five people to the front to face the enemy. There are five people left, and I plan to guard the city with three people, and two of them will go to the suburbs with the soldiers to ambush them. Brother Jiang, what do you think?" Jiang Congwai said: "This arrangement is very good. ”

Ye Zhiwen said: "The front battle against the enemy, although it is one-on-one, but the anti-thieves will definitely attack the city behind, once the city is attacked, everyone is together, so do we want to arrange more people in the front?" Wei Qingjun said: "I don't think so." There were only a dozen of the leaders of the Rebel Society, and it was impossible for them all to come forward to fight! When the siege finally came, I think the generals would definitely be busy killing soldiers and not fighting each other head-on. Jiang nodded and smiled, "What Qingjun said is exactly. Ye Zhiwen glared at Wei Qingjun, and had to be silent.

Jiang Miyu went to his father and Zhang Wushi, bowed to Yingying, and said: "The little girl is willing to contribute to my soldiers, and she invites herself to the front to fight the enemy, hoping that the two adults will be successful!" Jiang Congwai heard this, and hurriedly helped his daughter up, and said, "How can this be done!" Jiang Miyu said: "It has always been my wish to go into battle to fight, how can a man make it, but a daughter can't do it?" She frowned and said: "I don't want fame and fortune, I just want to be able to fight the enemy!"

Wei Qingjun stood up all of a sudden, and said, "Girl, don't go!" I know that the girl has a good martial arts, but there are some rough men in the front battle, and it is inevitable that it will be a little inconvenient for you to go to a daughter's house!" Jiang Miyu said: "Mr. Wei, you can't say this right, rough men and little women all use the same kung fu, and they all speak with real kung fu in the same way." Ye Zhiwen heard Jiang Miyu refute Wei Qingjun, his heart was happy, and he was happy.

Wei Qingjun said again: "Girl, you are Lord Jiang's beloved daughter, if you have any mistakes, our side will be greatly disadvantaged!" He stared at Jiang Miyu, although he persuaded with great reason, the concern in his eyes was still fully revealed. Jiang Miyu knew his affection for him, and couldn't help but sigh lightly at this time: "I won't be in danger, I'm not sure yet!" She looked at Wei Qingjun for a while, but a pair of pretty eyes were as dark as water at this time, and the eyes were shining like sparrows jumping in the autumn forest. Wei Qingjun looked at this gaze, and his heart became more and more uncertain, Jiang Miyu's thoughts on him, he couldn't help but ponder, and was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Congwai said: "Okay, since you said that you are sure of yourself, then you can go to the front to experience it! You have a martial art, if you don't always ask you to come in handy, you are afraid to blame me!" Jiang Miyu smiled and said, "I must not teach my father to worry!"

Ye Zhiwen said: "The front battle and the ambush have been finalized, but I think we still have to think of some more clever plans." For example, attacking them at night will be a big village, or distracting their leaders!" Jiang Miyu nodded and said: "Lord Ye is right, when the leaders of the Guihai Guild are together, they are like a copper wall, and no one can break them!" But if we separate their people and break them one by one, we will have a great chance of victory!" Wei Qingjun smiled and said, "How does that girl want to separate their leaders?"

Jiang Miyu was silent, only listening to Ye Zhiwen: "What's so difficult about this? We will always wait until they act separately!" Wei Qingjun said: "I don't think so, we know that we are cautious, but they don't know?" Looking at the current situation, there is only one way to get it!" Zhang Wushi and Jiang asked in unison: "What method?" Wei Qingjun said: "After our ambush is successful, we will definitely kill or trap a few leaders?" The gang is the most righteous person, and when they find out that their brother is missing, they will definitely send a few leaders to look for them, so that they will not be separated! We can take advantage of this good opportunity to make two preparations, one is to kill the leader who sent out to find people, and the other is to attack their Dazhai! Kill two birds with one stone, and they will definitely not be able to withstand this blow alone!"

Jiang Congwai clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Clever plan, wonderful plan! Hearing Qingjun say this, what are we still so nervous about! I think, within five days after the fight starts, the Haihui will have to be wiped out by us!" He laughed out loud after speaking.

Jiang Miyu said: "Okay, the matter that trapped the leaders sent out to find people is on me!" Jiang Congwai said: "Do you have a good plan?" Jiang Miyu said: "When I think about it, in short, I must catch a few leaders by myself!" Jiang Congwai knew that his daughter was quite manly, liked to plan and act alone, and was also known to be well-planned, shrewd and capable, so he was not worried. He only thought that when the time came, it would not be a problem to let a few martial arts masters go with her, and it would not be a problem to capture a few leaders, and he could also let his daughter show her face in front of everyone, and her face would be bright, so he agreed by default.

Zhang Wushi said: "Miss Jiang, then you have to take care!" Jiang Miyu smiled and said softly: "Thank you Shibo for worrying, I will be careful!" She walked to the window, looked at the falling spring rain, and couldn't help but say: "Our battle with the Haihui is about to start!"

The next morning, the pear blossoms on several trees along the city wall were still dripping with rain. The drizzle was mixed with the haze of the morning haze, and the mildness of the morning light was revealed, as if it was an illusory and unreal illusion. The soldiers who had been guarding the city all night and had not slept were about to be replaced, and a new wave of soldiers would face an indefinite number of hours of guards.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of a crisp bell ringing, and the soldiers on guard immediately became nervous, only to see that in the morning rain, a light horse chasing the dust and galloping towards them! The soldiers did not wait to see clearly the person sitting on the horse, but only heard the sound of "snort" and "snort" incessantly, and in the drizzle of smoke and dust, they saw a chirping arrow flying from mid-air! Because of the hazy morning mist, this arrow did not seem to have come from a person, but fell towards them with the rain from the vast sky! This arrow was fast over the wind, and with a terrible sound, the soldiers did not see clearly how the arrow passed through them, but only listened to the "squeak" behind themWhen they saw this, they were stunned for a long time, and then they all shouted "Ah", and some of the timid ones were already scared to pee their pants, and the bold ones spit out their tongues and could not retract them! When the soldiers reacted, and looked back at the man who fired the arrow, they saw the morning rain as usual, and the smoke and dust were flying, and in the haze, where was there any trace of the man?

The person who fired the arrow was none other than Zhao Xiaoyan, the eleventh general of the Haihui Society. He is a god of archery, and he can really reach the point of "raising his hand to catch the flying horse, and leaning over to scatter the horse's hooves"! He came this time to issue a war letter to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and the war book was tied to that arrow.

That Zhang Wushi summoned the officials, read the war book, and his face turned blue and his soul was unsettled. I saw that the war book read:

"Lu Yusi, a righteous man of the Haihai Society, to show the officials of Jiangsu and Zhejiang: The Tartars are committed in the south, and I am Jiuding, the catastrophe of the Han people can cover the sky, and the sorrow of the Han people is not only vast!

This time for the war, one is the hatred in the snow chest of the gang brothers, and the other is the grievance of the people in the world! You will send my brother Huo Taifeng back at equal speed, otherwise the soldiers will be everywhere, and the jade will be burned! The Tartar soldiers of the whole province will be bloody, and your whole family will be buried with you! I will be buried with a word, and the water will be difficult to collect, and on the first day of the first month of March, the general in front of the city will begin. ”

Zhang Wushi trembled all over, and scolded again and again: "The anti-thief dog is so daring! He still dares to issue such an arrogant war letter!" Jiang Congwai said: "After we destroy them, see if they dare to be so arrogant!" Jiang Miyu read the war book, frowned slightly, and muttered for a long time, silent.
