Chapter 116: The Aquila Gets Stuck in the Wall
Chuanshan and his party, Zhao Yu did not gain nothing.
He learned from Zhang Zhong's mouth that the Wusan people had gradually leaned towards him, and they were ready to pin the great cause of Mingjiao on themselves. This is a huge help to Zhao Yu, although the Wusan people can not bring much substantial help, but it has a vital role in the accumulation of their prestige. In particular, the Huguang Red Turban Army pulled up by Monk Peng is now gaining momentum, and if he can maintain a tacit understanding with Chuzhou, it will be of great help to his plan to operate the Yangtze River waterway.
Another harvest is to recruit Zhu to the governor's mansion. This old man has incomparable influence in the Shilin of southern Anhui, once attached, the gentry of southern Anhui, who originally maintained a respectful and distant attitude towards Mingjiao, gradually moved closer, providing Zhao Yu with a stable rear base, which can carry out the next plot against Jiqing and prepare for quarrying.
After taking southern Anhui, Zhao Yu's forces in Jiangnan have made a qualitative leap, and strategically they already have the confidence to plot against the entire Jiangnan. However, he did not step into the quagmire of Jiangnan with all his eyes empty, but adopted Zhu Sheng's proposal of "building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king", and continued to maintain a detached posture.
The anti-Yuan situation in the north has also changed greatly, Liu Futong occupied most of Henan, officially put forward the slogan of "recovering the Song Dynasty", and became the nominal master of the Red Turban Army in various places. In Gaoyou, Zhang Shicheng defeated the hundreds of thousands of Yuan troops in one fell swoop, occupied a large area of rich land in Susong, and ascended to the throne of King Wu, which was quite unstoppable.
After a crushing defeat, the Yuan court finally had a sufficient understanding of the rebel army and adopted the correct strategy. Li Chahan, the king of Ruyang, who had been idle for several years, was reinstated, and was ordered to lead the army mobilized by Ganshan and Shaanxi to crush all the way to the southeast. Liu Futong, who was in the limelight, was hit head-on and lost a large area of Henan. Then the victim was the Xuzhou Red Turban Army, the leader of which was directly killed in the chaos, and more than 100,000 subordinates were scattered. The morale of the Yuan people was greatly boosted, and the previous decline was swept away, and the Han landlord Li Siqi, who was originally interested in the Yuan court, also raised troops and joined in the action of exterminating the righteous army.
And Zhu Yuanzhang, who has not been heard from for a long time, has emerged again, taking advantage of the rout of the Red Turban Army in Xuzhou to quickly gather a force, and belong to Liu Futong, who is about to rise from the new defeat, and be served as the marshal of the capital.
Liu Futong, who retreated to Bozhou, had a difficult time, but he had a stroke of genius, withdrew his honorific title, and invited Chuzhou to be the mainstay, and the intention of causing trouble to the east was obvious. Zhao Yu was not confused, and simply sent troops directly to help Guo Zixing occupy Xuzhou, and fought several battles with the subordinates of the king of Ruyang, winning and losing each other, but also completed the intention of blocking the Yuan army in Jiangbei.
In Jiangnan, Zhao Yu continued to maintain the intention of isolating Jiqing, occupying Dangtu and Hexian, and walked extremely steadily step by step. And when attacking Lishui County, there was an accident, the vanguard led by Chang Yuchun was ambushed, not only the troops retreated, but even Chang Yuchun himself was ambushed by the masters, and he was in danger.
Knowing this information, Zhao Yu was extremely panicked, not to mention that Chang Yuchun was already the most important general in the Chuzhou Army at the moment, and he couldn't bear this loss just because of the deep personal relationship between the two.
At that moment, Zhao Yu withdrew from the battlefield in Xuzhou, and galloped to the aid of Lishui's army with the elite camp of the Five Elements Banner, and escorted Hu Qingniu to Lishui as soon as possible, in order to save Chang Yuchun's life.
When Zhao Yu arrived, the pioneer battalion had already retreated to Xinshi, and Xu Dajun was stationed in Bowang.
The morale of the barracks is still good, and there is no decadence after the new defeat, which shows that the captive army has truly possessed the foundation of the world's elite soldiers, and does not suffer from gains and losses due to a small setback.
Zhao Yu galloped into the camp, and when he approached the big tent of the Chinese army, he saw Zhang Wuji sitting in the open space in front of the camp with a lonely face. He was shocked in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "How is Brother Chang?"
"Brother Chang is seriously injured, but the injury has been stabilized by Mr. Hu, and it is okay for the time being. Zhang Wuji looked up at Zhao Yu and replied.
Hearing this, Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Zhang Wuji's depressed expression, and hurriedly rushed into the tent.
The big tent was filled with a pungent smell of herbs, and it was silent. Zhao Yu looked around, only to find Hu Qingniu washing his hands in a copper basin in the outer corner.
Hu Qingniu looked at Zhao Yu, nodded and motioned to go out of the account together, and then said: "The situation is not too bad, but a few ribs are broken and poked into the inner abdomen, and they must be well recuperated, and they will not be able to lead the troops in the near future." ”
While letting go of the big stone in his heart, Zhao Yu couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Chang's own martial arts are already excellent, and he is the most brave in battle, and the enemy is invincible when he charges. Who could have wounded him in the battle between the two armies?"
A trace of gloom flashed on Hu Qingniu's face, and he said in a low voice: "It's the eagle claw grappling skill." ”
Eagle claw grappling skill is the unique martial arts of Yin Tianzheng, the white-eyed eagle king of Mingjiao, which is fierce and fierce, and is the best external martial arts in the martial arts. However, the Heavenly Eagle Sect has always been close to Suzhou, so why did it appear in Jiqingnan? Moreover, it actually attacked the Chuzhou army, which also belonged to the same lineage of the Ming Sect? Zhao Yu's mood suddenly became heavy, but he still had a fluke in his heart: "Could it be wrong? The martial arts middle finger is not only the eagle claw grappling skill, but also the dragon claw hand of the Shaolin Temple and the tiger claw hand of the Wudang faction......
Hu Qingniu was not annoyed by Zhao Yu's questioning, but sighed: "It won't be wrong, I have also seen the other factions of grappling skills, and it is still different from the luck method of eagle claw grappling skills." However, it should not be Yin Yingwang's shot, otherwise, with the depth of the Eagle King's martial arts, he will attack with his intentions, and he will often encounter spring difficulties. ”
Hearing that Hu Qingniu was sure again, Zhao Yu's mood became heavy. The Chuzhou Capture Army has finally found an opportunity to expand with all its might, and it is bound to not be abandoned! The Heavenly Eagle Sect is interfering in Jiqingnan at this time, so does it really want to fight in the same room?
He walked into the tent in silence, and saw Chang Yuchun, who was pale, lying on the bed and sleeping, although he had been properly diagnosed and treated by Hu Qingniu, but listening to his rough breathing, he must have suffered serious internal injuries.
After walking out of the tent again, his face had become extremely cold, and he said in a condensed voice: "What a Heavenly Eagle Sect! Hurt my general, block my way, and deceive people too much!"
"Chief Bannerman, be cautious......"
Hu Qingniu is obsessed with medicine and has never asked about the military and political affairs of Chuzhou. However, this time the Heavenly Eagle Sect came to attack the overall situation of the Ming Sect, and Hu Qingniu, who had always been detached, could no longer deal with it calmly. He was afraid that Zhao Yu would be impulsive and completely break with the Heavenly Eagle Sect, so he finally couldn't help but open his mouth to remind him.
Zhao Yu bowed his head and said: "Mr. Hu, don't worry, I won't deal with this matter because of my own likes and dislikes." If the Aquila Sect gives a satisfactory explanation, I may not be able to wipe them out!"
He told Hu Qingniu to take good care of the seriously injured Chang Yuchun here, and he did not stay anymore, and led the elite of the Five Elements Banner to Bowang. As soon as he left the camp, Zhang Wuji, who was depressed, caught up from the rear, and said to Ai Ai: "You...... Are you going to exterminate the Aquila Sect this time?"
Seeing Zhang Wuji's appearance, Zhao Yu suddenly remembered that he was still the grandson of the Eagle King Yin Tianzheng. Although Zhao Yu refused to give up on this matter, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to strategize and celebrate with the Heavenly Eagle Sect within the wall, and he had to be careful in his measure. If Zhang Wuji is with him, there is still more room for buffer discussion.
Thinking like this, Zhao Yu said: "There is no plan yet, but you are familiar with the strength of the Chuzhou army, you can go and persuade your grandfather not to insist on going his own way and not ending well, and go with me." ”
After Zhang Wuji heard this, he hurriedly turned over an idle war horse and followed the army.
In recent years, Zhao Yu has fought in the south and the north, and there is not much idle time, and the cultivation of the Nine Yin and Nine Yang is not as fast as at the beginning, and he has not been able to eradicate Zhang Wuji's cold poison. In addition, they have been getting along for a long time and have some affection for each other, so they taught some methods of the Jiuyang True Scripture to Zhang Wuji. Now his cold poison has long been cleared, and he was carefully cared for and recuperated by Zhang Sanfeng and others when he was a child, and his body has not been eroded too much, and he has also achieved great attainments in martial arts over the years.
Although Zhang Wuji adhered to Zhang Sanfeng's advice, he did not join the Ming Sect. However, after living in Chuzhou for several years, his prejudice against Mingjiao has gradually been eliminated, and he has regarded himself as half of a Mingjiao. In addition, the white-eyed eagle king is already his only remaining flesh-and-blood relative in the world, and it is difficult to deal with it calmly, going all the way, knocking on the side to find out what Zhao Yu has in mind.
Zhao Yu couldn't give Zhang Wuji an accurate answer, but he didn't know what to do. Although he had never met Yin Tianzheng, he had heard a lot of praise for him from many people, even if he was arrogant as Yang Xiao, he also said that Yin Tian was a bright and upright person. As for why the Heavenly Eagle Sect ambushed the Chuzhou army this time, I am afraid that there is another hidden secret, which remains to be investigated.
