Chapter 36 Running a Hundred Miles in the Night
was like a stunned young man, in broad daylight, Zhao Yu cleaned up the Fengyang general soldier Huang Degong fiercely. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info let him be a general soldier, let him be a high official, but what?
Such oil-skinned soldiers are not beneficial to the country. When the prince cleans up the mountains and rivers and turns things around, such characters will definitely be cleansed.
Zhao Yushi didn't take it seriously.
Even if there was a trace of resentment in Huang Degong's eyes, Zhao Yu ignored it. If you get acquainted, you probably have some days to live. If you don't know each other, your fate will be counted, and you will be beaten to death, which will save the prince a lot of effort in the future.
As for the following bullying, what kind of rebellion and the like, Zhao Yu didn't care about it. didn't give him face, and even slapped him in the face, in Zhao Yu's opinion, this is a matter of course. Huang Degong's face is not that he is higher than Zhao Yu's official title, but that Zhao Yu looks down on him. is a few bigwigs in the cabinet, Zhao Yu can't look down on it, and he also doesn't give face.
It is the time when the world is turned upside down, everything is broken, the old is overthrown, and the new is ushered in.
To put it mildly, even if it is the crown prince or the emperor, if Zhao Yu can't look down on it, he will also have no face at all.
It's not that he doesn't know how to play tricks, but he hates it in his heart, and he doesn't think it's necessary. He now has an army of 50,000 under his command, and he is busy suppressing thieves, where does he have the heart to twist and turn with an oily soldier like Huang Degong?
As soon as Huang Degong came, he was arrogant, and in Zhao Yu's opinion, he didn't know what to say at all. If you want to show off your might, you have to show your ability to convince Zhao Yu. It is too ridiculous to let the thieves be close to the left and not dare to move, and to use this as an excuse for the heavy responsibility of guarding the imperial tomb.
The thieves once dug up the imperial tomb, and now they are still gathering under their noses, not to exterminate them, what kind of thing?
Official?
It seems that this is too much to see!
That Huang Degong is also called Huang Chuang'er, saying that he is brave in battle and so on. But he was slammed to the ground by Zhao Yu, but he was so frightened that he trembled, saying that he was brave, but he probably didn't meet a murderer like Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu ignored him and turned a blind eye. It seems that it doesn't matter if you pinned him to the ground before, like patting the dust off his body.
Zhao Yu looked at the sky and said to the left and right: "Are the armies of all departments ready?"
Yang He was beside him. There was a commotion before, and Yang He also hurriedly came, just in time to see Zhao Yu cleaning up Huang Degong. He wanted to speak and stopped, thinking that this was not good, and just as he was about to speak, Zhao Yu spoke first.
Hearing this, his expression was complete: "Everything is ready." ”
also glanced at Huang Degong, who was soft on the side.
Zhao Yu nodded: "That's good." As soon as it gets dark, we set off. ”
"Yes. ”
Zhao Yu turned around and returned to the tent.
The color of humiliation in Huang Degong's eyes almost turned into substance, and there was hatred and resentment. Until Zhao Yu entered the big tent and couldn't see it anymore, he slowly got up, his face was blue, his head was lowered, he didn't dare to see anyone, and staggered out.
Yang He watched Huang Degong leave, and said left and right: "Call a team to stay overnight, monitor the headquarters of the Fengyang General Army, and report it immediately if there is any change." ”
"Yes. ”
Yang He sighed slightly in his heart, and then opened the tent door and walked in.
"General. ”
Yang He bowed slightly, and said with a straight face: "The general is too strong today." ”
Zhao Yu raised his head, motioned for Yang He to sit down, and said with a smile: "For this kind of oil-skinned soldier, where is it necessary to be vain and wrong? I have a big war here, and I don't have time to talk to him." ”
Yang He said: "Having said that, after all, Huang Degong is the chief soldier of a town, and he has a lot of men and horses in his hands. I know that he can't get into the eyes of the general, but even if he can't see it, at this time, if I can not offend him, I can't offend him. Such a person can't do big things, but he still has the ability to do bad things. ”
Zhao Yu smiled: "I know what you mean." But I just don't want to deal with such scum. If he dares to do evil, I will kill him. ”
Yang He smiled bitterly.
I had to say: "My subordinates have ordered Fengyang not to be monitored at night." ”
Zhao Yu smiled: "It's better for you to be thoughtful." ”
Then he said, "I see that it is going to be dark, an hour at most." If you want to fight at night with the army, you can go and rest first to recuperate. ”
Yang He thanked him and stepped back.
An hour later, it was completely dark. The armies of all units, under the leadership of the generals, quietly left the camp, and under the guidance of the guides, they followed their assigned marching routes and went straight to the direction of Huoqiu.
A moment later, the huge barracks was empty, and it was empty except for a little fire.
Zhao Yu led 10,000 soldiers and horses in the center and went straight to Shouzhou. The armies extinguished their torches, and their horses and horses wrapped their hooves in sackcloth, and tried to be silent.
There are no torches on this night march, and the 50,000 troops under Zhao Yu have roughly adapted to it. Rushing all the way from Liaodong, most of the marching time was practiced at night.
But after all, they are not really elite soldiers, and they still can't eliminate the possibility of falling behind.
At this point, Zhao Yu has already commanded, but if he is left behind, one will be punished, ten lashes. The second ordered him to still go to the direction of Shouzhou and join the army.
Along the road, Zhao Yu and Yang He rode horses in front. The guide was right by the side.
This guide is not a plain people. is a proper person that Zhao Gongming has prepared for a long time in Fengyang's trading house. I know the terrain of Fengyang Mansion and a lot of information well.
"Shouzhou City fell into the hands of the Gezuo thieves last year. Because Shouzhou is too close to Fengyang, there are often conflicts with the official army, and the five battalions of the left side take turns to guard this Shouzhou. ”
So said the guide.
Zhao Yu bowed his head slightly and said with a smile: "A thief is a thief, after all, he is a bandit. said that they were united, but it was just because the imperial court put too much pressure on them. In essence, each still wants to defend it, which is nothing more than to preserve his strength. ”
Yang He echoed: "The general is reasonable. Shouzhou is in front of Fengyang, the closest to Fengyang's general army. If the imperial court ordered an attack on Shouzhou, and the thieves were slippery, who would want to have a hard time with the officials and soldiers? Taking turns to defend the town was just a mutual compromise between the thieves. ”
Zhao Yu asked the guide: "Which battalion of thieves in Shouzhou is there now?"
"The old man returned to the horse to keep it. The guide said seriously: "Lao Huihui is the big leader of the five thieves in the left of the revolution, the most powerful, there are 3,000 old battalions under his command, all of them are a horse team of one person and two horses, fierce and abnormal. Huang Degong's department also fought with Lao Huihui, but he didn't get a bargain. ”
"Old camp?" Zhao Yu said: "Is it the old thief among the thieves?"
The guide nodded, "Exactly." The thieves encircled the victims, and every time they attacked the city, they took the victims as the precursor and took their lives to fill it. Those who are lucky not to die, who have seen blood, killed people, and aroused animal nature, are filled into the old camp, which is for the elite. ”
"But most of them are still old bandits. Like the kind of siege with a wooden stick and hoe, you can survive the first war, but you can't guarantee the second war. Such people are in the minority. ”
After listening to this, Zhao Yu thought it was true.
couldn't help sneering: "It is said that it is a thief, but it does not insult these thieves." In addition to deserters, most of the leaders are bandits who have accumulated for many years. Murder is like hemp, and the people are treated as mustard. Nothing but destruction can be done. ”
Yang He said on his side: "It seems that this kind of old camp must be completely exterminated, and no one can be left." Otherwise, it is a curse to leave one. ”
Before Yang He could speak, the guide said, "The general needs to be cautious." ”
Zhao Yu was stunned, glanced at Yang He, and laughed in unison.
This guide may not have heard of Zhao Yu's prestige, but hearing is false, after all, it is not as convincing as what he sees. I'm afraid it's like that Huang Degong, just a rumor.
But who knew that Zhao Yu was slaughtering the Tartar spirit horse, and he was also chopping melons and vegetables. A mere thief is an old camp, what is it?
I don't have much explanation.
Nothing to say all the way.
Huaiyuan is far away from Shouzhou, and it is only a hundred and ten miles away. Traveling hundreds of miles at night, it is no longer difficult for these soldiers under Zhao Yu's command. From Liaodong, what night has you not marched a hundred miles?
Seeing that Shouzhou is in sight, the sky will be numb.
Zhao Yu waved his army and stopped.
"Give the order to go down, trim for a moment, let the soldiers eat and drink enough, and wait for my order. ”
"Yes. ”
So the army took advantage of a grove of trees and the darkness of the pre-dawn night, and went their own way.
The so-called noble soldiers are fast, not only in the process of marching and attacking. No matter how ordinary you eat and drink Lazar, you must also pay attention to a speed. Speed is not just talking, it is this habit of ordinary people that can create speed in wartime.
For a moment, for these soldiers under Zhao Yu's command, after eating, drinking, and Lasa, they could squint and rest for a while.
Soon, the sky came up, and the numbness was bright.
Zhao Yu's military order is down.
Of the 10,000 troops, Zhao Yu led 1,100 people. One hundred of them were Zhao Yu's personal soldiers led by Commander Zhang. The other 9,000 people were divided into three divisions, which were directly commanded by three generals, and coordinated by Yang He.
There are only two city gates in Shouzhou, one east and one west.
Zhao Yu's tactics were very direct, first by two divisions of 3,000 soldiers and horses, one detoured to the west gate to block the way out, and the other set up an ambush at the east gate.
The remaining 3,000 will be answered in the center. Wherever something goes wrong, these 3,000 men and horses will go.
As for Zhao Yu, he led 1,100 elites to break through the city gate and enter the city.
The geographical location of Shouzhou City is actually easy to defend and difficult to attack. Outside the east of the city, there is a quagmire, and it will not be easy for a large army to attack. Outside the west of the city, there are mountains and forests. Once the thieves fled from the west of the city and entered the mountains and forests, it was difficult to pursue.
Therefore, the two armies blocking the gate, at the east gate, set up an ambush outside the mire, and when Zhao Yu entered the city, there were thieves who escaped from the east gate from the city, so they hit them with bows and arrows and firearms. On the contrary, the disadvantages of the East Gate quagmire have become a favorable condition.
Those at the west gate are directly blocked at the door, so as not to let the thieves escape into the mountains and forests.
When everything is in order, the sky is about to rise.
However, it was late autumn and early winter, and it was frosty and foggy, but it was also a good thing.
In the middle of the rough time, the various armies reported that they were all in place.
Zhao Yu lifted the iron cone from the carriage, turned over and got on the horse's back, and behind him, one hundred elite horsemen and one thousand elite soldiers were fully prepared.
Zhao Yu put on his helmet, looked back and shouted: "Remember the general's instructions: the road in the east of the city is narrow, the quagmire is treacherous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the elite cavalry follows the general, and the foot soldiers wait for the general to break through the city gate, and when the thieves are in chaos, then kill later!"
"Whoa!"
"Good. Zhao Yu nodded and raised the iron cone: "Follow me, kill!"
