Chapter 088: Which is more important in the world
When the morning light was meager and the Li family manor was completely occupied, the defenders either surrendered or fled for their lives.
After a night of fighting, everyone in the Five Elements Banner was exhausted, but when they saw several large warehouses full of military rations, their fatigue was swept away, and they burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm.
In addition to food, there were enough armor soldiers to arm thousands of people, cowhide tents and arrows.
In this attack on the camp, the Five Elements Banner lost more than 200 people, but it defeated more than 1,000 defenders, which can be called a complete victory and swept away the decline of the Yingzhou army.
In the face of a mountain of military supplies, Rao is Zhao Yu is witty, and at this time he also felt a headache, and he only had the idea of loading the truck. At this time, Chang Yuchun's rich experience in rebellion came in handy again, and everyone was busy in an orderly manner under his command, and dozens of mule, horse, and carts were filled and parked in a few hours.
Hu Qingniu, who came with the army, was so busy treating the wounded that his feet did not touch the ground, and Zhang Wuji, who counted half of his apprentices, also ran back and forth, sweating profusely. How could this young man who had just recovered from a serious illness ever seen such a bloody Shura field, and the sweat on his face was more of a cold sweat.
Zhao Yu dragged the injured body all the way to find Chang Yuchun, inquired about the next move, and turned around for most of the circle to see Chang Yuchun walking out of a big house with a big house full of pride, and several Five Elements Banner soldiers behind him carried two big boxes.
Seeing Zhao Yu, Chang Yuchun's big mouth grinned to the root of his ears, pointed to the big box behind him and laughed: "With these things, it can be worth 100,000 troops!"
Zhao Yu was curious, leaned over to take a look, and saw that the boxes were full of atlases and books, and he picked up a scroll of atlases and unfolded them to look, but it was an incomparably fine military defense map of northern Anhui, and the rest were also like this.
Chang Yuchun caressed these atlases lovingly, and said excitedly: "Brother Zhao, with these things, where we are going and what we are going to do, we can all have a target, and we will not run around like headless flies." Especially clear about the details of the Tartars' military defense layout, we can come and go like the wind, no one can stop us!"
Zhao Yu was ignorant of marching and fighting, and after hearing this, he said curiously: "If the Tartar Imperial Court knows about the leakage, won't it change its defense again? The army is alive, and if you raise your legs, where can you go?"
Chang Yuchun patiently explained: "Just because the army is alive, it also has to eat, drink, and Lazar, where to garrison the army, and when to change the guard, there are rules and regulations in it. In particular, it is necessary to take advantage of the dangers of mountains and rivers, garrison fortresses, enrich land to raise troops, and level land to camp, these things cannot be changed in a short time. In the past, our Mingjiao suffered losses, not necessarily because they were vulnerable, but they didn't know these military situations, and they often attacked the strong with the weak, and they had to exchange the lessons of human life for them, and they often pondered it thoroughly, and the spirit of the righteous army also lost ......."
Zhao Yu nodded while listening, only to know that marching and fighting is not just a hot mind to pull up the team to rush left and right, which is subtle and complicated, but it is countless times more complicated than martial arts, how can you master it all at once.
He saw a few official documents, opened them and read them, only to find that it was an order from Li Chahan, the king of Ruyang, to the generals who led the army here. This warrant says that the Yuan court has seized the position of leading the army because of the chaos caused by the king of Ruyang's defense of Henan, and sent a general to lead the world's military horses, and the 300,000 army will soon go south to quell the chaos.
Zhao Yu was shocked at first, but he really couldn't figure out whether this matter was good or bad, so he handed it to Chang Yuchun.
After Chang Yuchun saw it, he groaned: "The change of generals in the battle can make people panic the most, and it is a big taboo. At present, it seems that the smoke of the army is everywhere, but it cannot shake the foundation of the Tartar court, and the most correct thing is to sweep away the rebellion with the power of thunder. The Tartar Emperor made this out, not to mention that everyone in charge of the army was in danger, just the army was assembled and launched, and the grain and grass were mobilized and transported, it would take half a year. At that time, all the rebel armies will take root, and they will be easily exterminated!"
He said again: "Brother Zhao, although our victory this time is gratifying, we are not out of danger yet, so we should leave as soon as possible." ”
Zhao Yu nodded and said: "What Brother Chang reminds me is that I don't have a mature proposition at the moment, no matter whether I go north or south, thousands of brothers who live and die are involved, and it is really difficult to choose." ”
If you will charge into battle, Chang Yuchun can still have some suggestions, and when it comes to this matter, he is just frowning, and he doesn't know what to do.
The Five Elements Banner escorted the grain and grass back, and Wu'an City suddenly became a sea of joy. A sack full of grain is more convincing than any flowery rhetoric. For a time, Zhao Yu's prestige in the hearts of the Ming Sect rose sharply. The smoke rose, the rice fragrance overflowed, and when they saw the joy of everyone, Tang Yang and the others finally showed a long-lost joy on their faces.
Several leaders got together to discuss the way out, and Zhao Yu first said: "Although I am valued by all the brothers and serve as the chief bannerman, I know that I am young and shallow, and it is difficult to have a perfect plan. Everyone expressed their opinions and planned a way to live for thousands of brothers in Wu'an. ”
The first to speak was Du Zundao, another incense master of the Yingzhou Branch, who said: "Originally, the best way to go was to go back to Yingzhou." The lord of the Han altar here has been preaching for a long time, and although he has suffered heavy losses due to the disaster of Liu Futong, he still has a deep foundation. The general flag envoy is the chief altar himself, and it is extremely simple to suppress Liu Futong!"
As soon as this remark came out, several people echoed it, all of whom were people from the Yingzhou Branch, and they were obviously not dead to Yingzhou.
Zhao Yu nodded noncommittally, and then said to Tang Yang: "Tang Qi Envoy, you have always been wise, what do you think?"
Tang Yang got up and said, "It is true that Yingzhou has been preaching for many years, and there are many followers in this sect. It's just that it has been stolen by Liu Futong, and although it is unreasonable for us to return, in the eyes of others, it is a brotherly wall, and it is a matter of trouble. Now we have enough food and grass, and we have all the armor, so we can go north to Shandong. The people here are fierce, and the floods have been in place for many years, and the armament is relaxed, and it should soon be able to open up a new situation and form a pattern of its own!"
Tang Yang's words represent the voices of most of the Five Elements Banners. Their status in the church is still above the altars, but because they do not have a stronghold, they are sent to the fence, and they have suffered a lot of bitter fruits, and now they have the capital, how can they repeat the mistakes of the past.
Zhao Yu is actually inclined to have more Five Elements Banner in his heart, not to mention his identity as the chief flag envoy, he must plan for the Five Elements Banner on the premise of not losing righteousness. The reason why it is difficult to choose is that it is not sure whether Shandong is the best choice.
He still remembered that at the beginning of that year, when he left home to live in Li Chun's house, Li Chun categorically refused to visit the Mingjiao people, which shows that the Mingjiao in Shandong has no foundation, and Tang Yang's plan is still too optimistic. In particular, Shandong was too close to the land of Gyeonggi, and the Yuan court might not be able to tolerate them sleeping on the side of the couch.
Seeing that Zhao Yu was unable to make a decision, Chang Yuchun, who had already been promoted to the deputy flag envoy of the flood flag, immediately said: "Where to go, the chief flag envoy can decide with one word! Our brothers serve you as the master, which means that only the horse is the first to look forward!"
Everyone nodded yes.
While they were discussing, the brothers outside the door came to report that there was a visitor.
Now that the people who are close to the Five Elements Banner are all in Wu'an, what kind of visitors can there be? Zhao Yu was puzzled and invited someone to enter.
The first to walk in was Liu Bowen, who he hadn't seen for a long time, he had changed his regular clothes and no longer dressed as a Taoist, and after seeing Zhao Yu, he first nodded with a smile, and then avoided to the side. Behind Liu Bowen, a clear-looking Taoist priest walked out, he wore an iron crown, his eyes were bright, and he looked directly at Zhao Yu when he walked into the room.
Seeing the comer, Yan Yuan, the leader of the Houtu Banner, jumped out first, pointed to the Taoist priest and said: "Brother Zhang Zhongdao, have you come to see our Five Elements Banner jokes? This time you have miscalculated, our Five Elements Banner has a heroic chief flag envoy, and he has just led his brothers to fight a great victory! We are now very rich, if you have a hard time, you can carry a few bags of grain on your back when you leave." ”
He said this harshly, and the others only dared to hold back a smile, but the other flag bearers laughed without scruples.
Zhao Yu only knew that the person who came was Zhang Zhong, the Tieguan Daoist among the five scattered people, he stood up and arched his hand and said: "I don't know if Zhang Zhongdao is visiting, and I am not welcome." ”
Zhang Zhong glanced at Yan Yuan, and then said to Zhao Yu and said, "Little Demon Lord, you are very good." It's really good, you can make Yang Xiao's arrogant people who are above the top look at you differently. The Five Elements Banner has you, which is a blessing. ”
Zhao Yu said with a smile: "What is the blessing and not the blessing! Everyone is dedicated to this religion, Yang Zuo is a little arrogant, and he always carries the weight clearly, and he does not embarrass me." I don't know what to learn in the long run?"
Zhang Zhong's face changed, and he said coldly: "Yang Xiao can carry it clearly?Hmph, are you saying that we scattered people have nothing to do, and deliberately let this sect fall apart?"
Zhao Yu listened to Zhang Zhong's reaction just because of his casual words, obviously resentful of Yang Xiao, and he said with a straight face: "What are you arguing about, I don't want to put a beak." Our Five Elements Banner is in a bad situation right now, and we don't have the heart to take care of any idle things. Regardless of the one who is the sect leader, there is only Yaozun. Which is right and which is wrong, and where can I assess!"
Zhuang Zheng also stood up, faced Zhang Zhong and said, "Brother Dao, the words of the chief flag envoy are the attitude of our Five Elements Banner. If you think that the Five Elements Banner is relying on Yang Zuo's envoy in exchange for the appointment of the chief flag envoy, you will think about it. The Five Elements Banner is tired of the disputes in this sect, and now he just wants to do something real. Are you satisfied?"
Zhang Zhong's eyes flickered, first he glanced at Zhao Yu deeply, and then turned his eyes to look at a few flag envoys for a week before he spoke: "So, your Five Elements Banner is planning to follow the example of Yin Ying King to set up a door on your own? Otherwise, how can the unification of this sect become an idle matter in your mouth? You are worthy of the Yang Sect Master? Worthy of the thousands of sect members of this sect?"
Xin Ran slapped the table abruptly and said angrily: "Zhang Zhong, don't spray people with blood! The Five Elements Banner is the Five Elements Banner of the Ming Sect, and the General Banner Envoy is the Chief Banner of the Ming Sect! We are not the Yin faction, not the Wei faction, nor the Yang faction! You fight for your sect leader, but our Five Elements Banner wants to save the common people! Everyone doesn't talk speculatively, and half a sentence is too much! In the past, everyone didn't get along with each other for old age, and we chose a general flag envoy for the Five Elements Banner, and we actually had to work your big driver to point fingers!"
Zhao Yu motioned for everyone to be calm, and then said: "Chief Zhang Zhongdao, the battle of will is the most hurtful. I am a bystander, and after taking over the Five Elements Banner, I never thought of making waves in the sect with it. Everyone has a deep mustard, but we hope to seek common ground while reserving differences. A gentleman is a man in the world, and he does not seek to be three feet outside. We are now trying our best to only seek a way to live, and the battle for the top of the light in Kunlun Mountain is too far away, and we dare not think about it if we don't think about it, are you still satisfied with this?"
Zhang Zhong frowned slightly, and looked back at his disciple Liu Bowen, who was staring at his toes with his head hanging down. He sighed and suddenly asked Zhao Yu: "So, do you want to fight for the world or save the common people?"
