The situation outside Yangzhou City has undergone earth-shattering changes, and the Miao army commander Yang Wanzhi went to meet him on the order of the prime minister of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but on the way he was attacked and killed by Zhang Shicheng, who had been planning for a long time, and for a time, the Miao army camp was in chaos.

Zhang Shide, who had arrived in Jiangdu, learned of the news, and sent people to Suzhou to confirm the news, while sending a large number of scouts to Yangzhou. However, the news from the direction of Suzhou had not yet arrived, and the scouts sent to reconnoiter had suffered heavy casualties, and there was not one out of ten! As a result, Zhang Shide was convinced that this was Yang Wan's plan to confuse the enemy, and he became more and more cautious.

In a residential house in Yangzhou City, the Blue Sect Master, whose face was like frost, put the lime-soaked head on the desk in front of Zhao Yu, and said in a slightly dry voice: "I can't hold it anymore, the Demon Lord has to make arrangements as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Yu glanced at the head, turned around and asked Li Chengru and the others, "How is it?"

Li Chengru and the others didn't feel that the head was disgusting, and they lay in front of them and watched carefully for a long time before saying: "It's really vivid, if you don't know it early, I'm afraid that you will really mistakenly think that Yang Wanzhi is really dead." ”

The Blue Sect Leader said coldly: "Since then, there is no such person as Yang Wan, only my clansman Yang Tongguan. Miao Jun has nothing to do with the Yuan Court since then, but the Demon Lord is relieved?"

Zhao Yu groaned slightly, took out a token from his arms, handed it to a secret camp soldier, and said: "Take the waterway, unload your arms in Danyang, and go to Chuzhou to receive heavy grain and grass, I will order someone to prepare a camp in Huaibei." The Miao army will be under the command of Guo Tianxu in Haozhou for the time being, and when Jiqing is under the command, I will send General Fu Youde to take over the reorganization of the Miao army. ”

After saying this, he said to the Blue Sect Leader again: "I hope that the Blue Sect Master can follow Miao Jun to Danyang. When the Chuzhou Water Camp receives them, the Blue Sect Master can naturally leave. ”

"Is this to make the best use of everything, or is it to unload the mill and kill the donkey?" the corners of the Blue Sect Master's mouth flashed with a hint of ridicule, and then he said: "Miao Jun's mood is very unstable, I hope the Demon Lord can make proper arrangements. If my people are safe and sound, I will naturally try to help the Demon Lord in the future in Dadu. Although it doesn't have much effect, if you inquire about the news, you can still do it. ”

After the Blue Sect Master left, Wei Yixiao and the others came up and said in amazement: "Although it is just a substitute, I really didn't expect that the seemingly powerful Miao Army Yang Wanzhi." It was cooked so lightly and delicately. ”

Zhao Yu stood up. smiled: "Why do you have blood on your hands when you kill people, clean up this head and give it to the Yuan chief helmsman of the Four Seas Inn." ”

The chaos in the Miao army camp outside the city could not hide the people in Yangzhou City, and countless people climbed to the top of the city. Watching the defeat of the Miao army, the general rout. The messy smoke and dust stretched all the way to the south. The boulder that weighed heavily on everyone's hearts finally landed. There are already many people who can't help but cry with joy and high-five. At this time, they don't know that it will only be a few more days. The city of Yangzhou will once again be surrounded by a large army. In the troubled times, there is no pure land after all, and there is no long-term comfortable and peaceful life.

Zhao Yu and Wei Yixiao and some of the secret camp men withdrew from the abandoned southern city of Yangzhou City, while the other part of the secret camp men continued to lurk in Yangzhou City, but they were more hidden.

After leaving Yangzhou City, Zhao Yu sat on the horse, and his heart rippled. I wonder if Zhao Min was still in the city at this time? Or had he already left Yangzhou and embarked on the journey back to Dadu? Yangzhou City was relative to each other for a while, and now it is as unreal as a dream, and it is sad to leave a lingering aftertaste.

Wei Yixiao and the others did not have Zhao Yu's reverie, his expression was full of joy and excitement, he pointed to the abandoned Miao army on the side of the road, and said with a smile: "Recalling that when we came, the Miao army blocked the road and set up cards, and exploited the guest brigade, so arrogant. Now he is panicking like a lost dog, and he has to be protected by our Mingjiao to get a life. Only this kind of thing is enjoyable to think about, but the sect leader is also kind, which of these Miao soldiers is stained with the blood of our Han people, if you want me to say, drive them directly into the Yangtze River and feed the fish, it can be regarded as the retribution of the Tianli cycle!"

When Zhao Yu heard this, he reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said: "This is a lot of blood debt, how can a life be repaid! We will squeeze out the last drop of blood of the Miao army, so that they can harvest more lives of the Tartars!"

When they came to Yangzhou, everyone wanted to pretend to be merchants and make a detour, but now they don't have to. They rode on their horses and galloped all the way, and in a few days they returned to the Chuzhou military camp in Jiangning.

When passing by Jiqing, Zhao Yu looked at this Xiongcheng from afar, which was once the old capital of several dynasties. Jinling City is the leading city in the south of the Yangtze River, even if it has been besieged for a long time, it still does not show much decadence. Different from the sighs of admiration in the past, Zhao Yu has enough confidence to regard Jiqing as something in his pocket this time. All the forces that can be used to help and hinder the Chuzhou army's siege of the city around Jiqing are either too busy to take care of themselves, or they have their own plans, and none of them can no longer become a problem for the Chuzhou army. Today's Jiqing can really be regarded as a lonely city.

From leading the remnants of the Five Elements Banner to travel thousands of miles to Chuzhou, almost all of Zhao Yu's actions revolved around the goal of Jiqing. After several years of planning, success is within reach. Rao is Zhao Yu's unfazed state of mind, and now he can't help but make waves.

This will be the place where he will really take off, and this will be the base camp for the revival of Hanzuo. From this moment on, here, when the gate of Jiqing City is broken, it will become a dusty thing in the past! The Han people will step on the corpse of the Mongols who once swept through the wilderness and the eight wildernesses, and become the real masters of this Shenzhou!

Xu Da and the others took the first step to learn the news in the direction of Yangzhou, and sent people to wait for Zhao Yu outside Jiangning City early.

When Zhao Yu and his entourage entered the camp, the Chuzhou army from Xu Da and the following generals all stood in front of the gate and waited. Hearing the sound of hurried horses' hooves, the faces of the generals in armor rippled with joy, and they hurried forward, bowing from a distance and saying, "Congratulations to the chief manager on the completion of this trip!"

Zhao Yu twisted his body and dismounted, walked to the generals, greeted everyone one by one, and went to the big tent of the Chinese army side by side.

Xu Da has lived in the army for a long time, and he has long developed a temperament that is indescribable to joy and anger, and now he also said with a smile on his face: "As soon as Fang received the Yangzhou letter, I thought that there was something wrong with my eyes, but I really didn't expect that the chief manager and the Bat King would make such a big storm in Yangzhou with just a few dozen secret camp brothers and gain such a huge harvest. After such a comparison, the people who led the troops like us couldn't even attack Jiqing City for a long time, and we were really ashamed!"

Wei Yixiao sat on the side, and after hearing this, he hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "General Xu's words are really wrong for me, although I followed the chief manager all the way to Yangzhou, but I slept all night, and then ran back and forth, I could only take the hard work of running errands, but I didn't dare to take credit." ”

Zhao Yu also smiled: "But some small tricks to sow discord that can't be put on the table are not worth mentioning." Besides, if there is no army to form a formation and the Bat King to roam away, I can only sit in the city of sorrow, and I am at a loss. ”

Chang Yuchun said: "The manager naturally won this battle beautifully, the Miao army was brave, that is, Biji gathered 100,000 troops to fight a decisive battle, and it was also a difficult thing to defeat the Miao army." The general manager turned his hands into clouds and covered his hands with rain, and easily took down the Miao army without spending a single soldier. Such a thing, it is difficult to find a second thing in the history books. ”

All the generals laughed and agreed, Zhao Yu waved his hand and asked, "Has Miao Jun ever received it?"

Xu Da nodded and said: "After receiving the letter, I immediately went to Danyang to meet the water camp, and at the same time carried the grain and grass baggage agreed with Fang Guozhen. After the grain and grass were handed over to Fang Guozhen, the Miao army was transported back. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "Although the Miao army is a very strong force, it has a bad reputation and military discipline, and it can be regarded as a double-edged sword. Although it is very helpful to the great cause of the general manager, if it is not strictly restrained and rectified, I am afraid that it will hurt the reputation of our Chuzhou army. ”

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Since they have been submissive, it is naturally impossible for them to act like before. This army can't come in handy for the time being, and it needs to be carefully polished. These things don't have to be in a hurry, and after they take Jiqing, they will be carefully rectified. ”

Xu Da said again: "The governor of Yangzhou and his party lured Zhang Shicheng and forced the Miao army to surrender, and the Jiqing defense line laid by the Tartar court in Jiangnan was completely destroyed. This is a godsend, capture Jiqing, and there is no suspense. Moreover, in recent days, there have been some big families in Jiqing City who have sent people to surrender to me, and even some generals in the Jiangnan camp have the intention of surrendering. Winning Jiqing is already the trend of the times and irreversible!"

Zhao Yu bowed slightly: "If you can have more internal help, it is naturally good, and it can greatly reduce the casualties and losses of our army." However, for those who surrender to sincerity, we must carefully screen their intentions, and never be taken advantage of by the enemy at the last critical juncture, adding twists and turns. ”

Xu Da and the others hurriedly nodded and said that they would definitely handle it carefully.

After looking around at the generals for a week, Zhao Yu said: "Although I have gained a lot from my trip to Yangzhou, I have also felt deeply. If people do not humiliate themselves, they cannot humiliate them. Although these people in Yangzhou belong to the Yuan court, they are suspicious of each other, and they are constantly fighting with each other, misunderstanding and prejudice are deep. Once it is used by someone with a good intention, the situation will be out of control. If they can work together and be honest with each other, how can they be easily acquired?"

Xu Da and the others also nodded and said: "The Tartar court has been declining, and the national fortunes are troubled, but the monarchs and ministers are still suspicious of each other, intriguing, and there is no reason to be undefeated." ”

Everyone has selfish intentions, but we must not lose our weight. For example, if a big tree has lush branches and leaves, if this branch only thinks about strengthening itself and tries its best to absorb nutrients, but ignores the foundation of the main trunk, no matter how lush the branches are, it will not be able to withstand the wind and rain. Only the deeper this root is rooted, the stronger the trunk, and the more dependent and strong the branches can they rely on and grow. ”

Zhao Yu knocked on the case and said in a deep voice: "You are all outstanding people, you should understand this truth." Not only do you understand, but you also have to take it to heart. What we want to create will be an unprecedented era of prosperity, as long as you see the right direction and move forward all the way, you will leave a name in history and earn endless glory and wealth for future generations!"
