Chapter 190: Blood Shuai
At the beginning of March 575, the Tiger Camp Army Lin Hua shocked the world in a battle, with a total of 6,000 troops before and after the annihilation of Takeda Morisuke's pirates a total of 6,000 people, captured the leader of the bandits Xu Yanchou, for the first big victory since the Zhou country exterminated the bandits, Takeda Morisuke almost alone fled back to the sea, with the remaining less than 1,000 bandits out of the sea in a hurry!
The whole Linhua County and the surrounding 100 miles are boiling when they hear the victory, so many years, the coastal cities are deeply affected by the bandits, and now there is a big victory, it is really inspiring, the Tiger Camp Army was praised as the first elite of the boat country by the coastal cities for a while!
With the fame of the Tiger Camp Army, the final siege and annihilation battle of Anhe Bridge also spread, Yun Feiyu was almost deified, and told him to be a person standing on the bridge to block three thousand bandits alone, according to legend, after a battle, Yun Feiyu's whole body was drenched in the blood of the bandits, for the bloody military commander, Yun Feiyu's prestige quickly spread throughout the coastal cities, and was talked about by the people, and they all called Yun Feiyu white-haired and bloody!
Seeing Lan Xue'er's letter in Lin Huacheng, Yun Feiyu couldn't smile bitterly, the expression on her face was a little embarrassed, Hu'er Xuelian and Tianshui Lanxin looked strange, both of them were curious about what Lan Xue'er said in the letter, but the two women glanced at each other, but neither of them opened their mouths to ask Yun Feiyu to read the letterhead in his hand!
After reading the letter, Yun Feiyu saw that Tianshui Lanxin and Huer Xuelian had strange expressions, Yun Feiyu had a slight headache, but she was a little funny in her heart, and handed the letterhead to Huer Xuelian who was close to her, and looked up and explained to Tianshui Lanxin: "My third senior sister has made a name for me under the encouragement of her hands everywhere, and I am almost rumored to be the reincarnation of the martial god in the mouth of the people, and she is not worried that the cowhide will not be round when it blows into the sky!"
Huer Xuelian hurriedly swept over and handed the letterhead to Tianshui Lanxin, and Tianshui Lanxin smiled after seeing it: "She is building momentum for you, such a great achievement, the court should be rewarded!"
Yun Feiyu nodded slightly, and replied: "The Tiger Camp Army has also suffered a lot of losses in this battle, I want to ask the Holy Lord to show mercy to the families of the fallen soldiers, and I also ask the Holy Lord to allow me to recruit soldiers to complete the battalions!"
Tianshui Lan deeply agrees that if you want the soldiers of the three armies to use their lives, in addition to clear rewards and punishments, they must also have no worries, and they must have generous pensions for the families of seriously injured and disabled or fallen soldiers, which is the foundation of compassion for the generals!
After the war, all kinds of military affairs are also very numerous, all kinds of casualty statistics, military merit statistics, what kind of military merit should be rewarded, etc., these things are extremely important, layer by layer, and finally handed over to Yun Feiyu here, and Yun Feiyu reported to the imperial court, at this time Yun Feiyu has not recruited clerical staff, Yun Feiyu He can't handle it alone, so he called Su Yongquan and Ji Haichen to assist him in handling military affairs.
Although Tianshui Lanxin can help Yun Feiyu formulate a combat strategy and lead the army to charge, but cumbersome military affairs are not what she is good at, and it is difficult to help Yun Feiyu in this regard, as well as Huer Xuelian, it is difficult to help Yun Feiyu, seeing that Yun Feiyu is too busy to raise her head, there are outsiders here, and it is inconvenient for the two girls to stay longer, so they will withdraw together, although they are by Yun Feiyu's side, the two daughters rarely have the opportunity to be alone, and they can also contact their feelings while they are here!
Just three days after the Tiger Camp Army achieved a great victory, the people of the coastal cities have not yet passed, and another painful news came, in the Xin'an area south of Linhua, Zhu Hailong, who is known as a giant bandit and a bear, led 3,000 people under his command to break through the defense line of 5,000 guards, obliquely into the hinterland of the northwest Zhou Kingdom, and successively washed several towns in blood, and recently attacked Liuzhou City, a big city in Gui County, and wiped out all the officials of Liuzhou City, and the rich and noble families were also looted, especially Zhu Hailong led his subordinates to rape the daughter of Liuzhou Zhizhou to death, and his evil deeds were outrageous, this tragic incident shook the government and the opposition of the Zhou State, and also caused the anger of Emperor Lan Zhang!
At this time, Qin Wen, the commander of the navy, was still leading a large army to find and clear the strongholds of the major sea bandits on the vast sea, but Zhu Hailong, a ferocious sea bandit, had already gone deep into the hinterland of the Zhou country to burn and loot, how could Lan Zhang not be annoyed, especially when Lan Zhang heard that his three exotic beauties were plundered by this bear Zhu Hailong, Lan Zhang was even more angry and blew his beard and glared, and even wanted to personally lead the troops to encircle and kill Zhu Hailong!
Of course, Lan Zhang has not been dizzy by anger, knowing that thousands of pirates can't let him, the emperor of the Zhou Kingdom, sit still, but he is angry in his heart, and he wants to vent, and the court will reprimand the officials of the Ministry of War how to deal with it, these bigwigs of the Ministry of War have been relying on Qin Wen and other cutting-edge cadres to block the pirates from making a big mess over the years, and now Qin Wen can't return to the division at sea, and the combat strength of the guards in various places is really insufficient, if tens of thousands of elite battalions are summoned from the west or north to be transferred, I am afraid that before they get to the ground, those bandits have already returned to the sea, and it is in vain to waste the people and money, this kind of proposal is obviously looking for scolding, so what other good way can they have?
Seeing that everyone was silent, Lan Zhang was even more angry, a big boat country, with hundreds of thousands of armor, could it be impossible to take a few thousand pirates? Fortunately, among the officials of the military department that Lan Xue'er secretly bought, there were also officials with high ranks, and they could speak in the court, so they went out to play and asked: "Holy Lord, Yun Feiyu, the commander of the Tiger Camp Army, is brave and good at fighting, leveling the eight barbarians, and destroying the sea Kou has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and now the Tiger Camp Army is stationed in Linhua, only a few hundred miles away from Liuzhou City, why not issue an order to invite the Tiger Camp Army to suppress the bandits!"
When it came to the Tiger Camp Army, Lan Zhang's eyes lit up, he asked his son-in-law Yun Feiyu to build the Tiger Camp Army in the face of his beloved daughter Lan Xue'er, and he wanted his son-in-law to get some military merits to find a high position in the army, but he didn't expect the Tiger Camp Army to really give Lan Zhang a long face in actual combat, Lin Hua's victory a few days ago was really beautiful!
After a little silence, Lan Zhang opened his mouth and ordered on the spot: "Then according to what Aiqing said, the decree will be promoted to Yun Feiyu as the deputy capital commander, control Lin Hua, the guards from Xin'an to Liuzhou, and the general leader to exterminate the bandit Zhu Hailong's troops!"
Qin Wen has made countless achievements in the army for so many years, and he has been promoted to the commander of the navy, commanding 100,000 sailors, and the official rank is only the second grade, and Yun Feiyu's soaring speed is a little terrifying, and it has only been more than a year before he has emerged in the boat, but he is already the post of deputy commander, so in this way, the Tiger Battalion Army led by Yun Feiyu can be expanded to 12 battalions, plus the personal guard battalion, the Tiger Battalion Army can already be expanded to 15,000 people!
In fact, Lan Zhang was really generous to his beloved son-in-law, not only did he allow the establishment of the twelve battalions of the Tiger Camp Army, in view of the merits of Tianshui Lanxin, Lan Zhang also specially ordered the Heavenly Maiden General Tianshui Lanxin to form the Tiannu Battalion, with a strength of three thousand, although it was controlled by the Tiger Battalion Army, but it was not included in the establishment of the twelve battalions of the Tiger Battalion Army, so calculated, the actual strength of the Yunfei Yu Tiger Battalion Army was already nearly 20,000 people!
Waiting for the holy decree to reach Lin Hua, Yun Feiyu was overjoyed after receiving the decree, and now Yun Feiyu is worried that the tiger camp army cannot expand the army, with the official position of deputy capital commander, and the holy decree of the emperor Lao Tzu, then everything is simple, especially the 3,000 troops under Tianshui Lanxin, which can be regarded as the generous "gift" of his father-in-law, and he is grateful to his father-in-law for treating himself as a national soldier, and Yun Feiyu will also repay him as a national soldier!
The expansion of the army is not in a hurry, the top priority is to recruit and intercept Zhu Hailong's three thousand bandits, and the most important thing is to find out the movements of this group of bandits, since they can control the guards in various places, then the power must be used, Yun Feiyu while resting the tiger camp army in Lin Hua, while sending orders to the guards in various places to send a probe horse to Lin Hua as soon as they find out the movements of the bandits in Zhu Hailong's department!
The country of Zhou has also lived too peacefully, and the southeast coast has relied on Qin Wen's sailors to defend itself over the years, as for the state capitals in the inland hinterland, the armaments are not as lax, it is like no defense, so that the three thousand bandits of Zhu Hailong who are deep in the sea are like fish in water, like a group of locusts, wandering around the southeast coast, everywhere they pass is a bloody storm, and the news of the guards everywhere is not as fast and timely as listening to the secret messages of the Sea Sword Sect and the Dongsheng, which makes Yun Feiyu quite disappointed.
According to Mr. Bi Shicai's proposal, Yun Feiyu knew that when the pirates landed and invaded, they would always leave a lot of troops to watch the retreat, after all, the sea was their hiding place, and the retreat of the pirates was based on a large number of large sea ships, the last time Takeda Morisuke landed, he left nearly a thousand people to watch the ships in the nearby waters, so it was impossible for Zhu Hailongbu not to leave behind!
Since Zhu Hailong's department broke through the defense line from the Xin'an area, it was very likely that most of its sea ships would also stay in the waters near Xin'an, and at this time they began to encircle and suppress Zhu Hailong's department, Yun Feiyu ordered Su Yongquan to lead a thousand tiger battalion troops, and went to Xin'an with his own warrant to control the guards there, and prepare to block Zhu Hailong's retreat!
Then ordered Ji Haichen to lead a thousand tiger battalion troops to garrison in Linhua, in case Takeda Morisuke was a thief who did not die and killed a horse pistol, Yun Feiyu was ordered by Qin Wen to guard Lin Hua's front line, although now Emperor Lan Zhang personally ordered to intervene, so that Yun Feiyu took the initiative to attack and suppress the bandits, but he also had to give some explanation to Qin Wen's capital!
Yun Feiyu led 3,200 sergeants of the Tiger Battalion Army and headed towards Liuzhou in the southwest, and now Zhu Hailong's 3,000 bandits have been flowing and the whereabouts are not clear, Yun Feiyu can only go to Liuzhou City to stabilize his city first, after all, Liuzhou City is a big city, with a large population, and it has been sacked by the bandits, and the officials have been purged, and the city is more prone to chaos, and it is urgent for the imperial court to send people to maintain stability.
After rushing to Liuzhou City for more than two days in a row, the bandits have been gone for nearly ten days, but Yun Feiyu led the troops into the city to see that they were still full of devastation, almost every household had a crying voice, and the city was full of spiritual curtains, and Zhu Hailong, a group of bandits, was about to leave and burn the city, many people were homeless and could only sleep on the streets, and even the Liuzhou County Ya had already turned into a pile of broken black ash ruins!
Seeing Yun Feiyu leading the troops into the city, the people who were full of numbness and grief all noticed Yun Feiyu's fluttering snowy hair, and some people thought that it was the legendary white-haired and bloody handsome, and when they saw the striped tiger stripes embroidered on the banner of the Tiger Camp Army, it was determined that this was the famous Tiger Camp Army, and almost all the people in the city rushed to kneel in front of Yun Feiyu, and the streets were crowded, all crying and begging Yun Feiyu to make decisions for them!
Looking at the crying people, Yun Feiyu was also extremely sad in his heart, and hurriedly went over to help the two white-haired old men in front of him up, and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, please get up quickly! You are going to torture Yun!"
The two white-haired old men in front of them were also more prestigious in Liuzhou City, and one of them sobbed and said, "General Yun, you must make the decision for us!
Another old man also wiped his tears and said: "General Yun, the humiliation of our female babies in Liuzhou is dead!"
The people behind the two old men who had lost their wives, daughters, and sisters also wept and kowtowed, begging Yun Feiyu to avenge their relatives who died in humiliation!
Through the military book of the imperial court, Yun Feiyu knew that Zhu Hailong, a group of bandits, had the heaviest crime of ruining and even raping and killing women from good families, and Yun Feiyu hated such scumbags the most in his life, looking at these grieving people, Yun Feiyu suppressed the anger and killing desire in his heart towards those who had lost all his conscience, and said in a deep voice: "Fellow villagers, rest assured, I, Yun Feiyu, swear here, as long as I encounter the bandits of Zhu Hailong's department, I will be completely destroyed!"
Lang Lang Qingyin spread almost all over the city, these people just wanted to get this promise of the blood handsome Yun Feiyu, at least to let their relatives go, and the soldiers of the Tiger Camp Army also had a sense of grief and indignation in their hearts, and shouted in unison: "Swear to kill Zhu Hailong!"
In the end, when the people dispersed, Yun Feiyu personally summoned the surviving elders in the city and asked them to come forward to maintain order among the people in the city, because the fire burned down a lot of granaries, the food in the city was insufficient, and some people had endured hunger for many days, Yun Feiyu immediately ordered the guards of nearby states and counties to mobilize grain and grass into Liuzhou, and even ordered the Huying army to take out military rations to relieve the people in the city!
Yun Feiyu personally led the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion Army in Liuzhou City to help the people in the city clean up the ruins and rebuild their homes, and he was always eager to get the accurate movements of Zhu Hailong's department, so that the Tiger Battalion Army could be dispatched to chase and kill as soon as possible, so that the people in other places would suffer less from bandits!
The Tiger Camp Army stopped in Liuzhou City for less than three days, and listened to a junior disciple surnamed Lu surnamed Qi Lianjian, the head of the Haijian Sect, and three disciples rushed to report in person, and finally found out the movements of Zhu Hailong's three thousand bandits for the first time, as if they were going to swim in the direction of Xin'an, and at this time it was only thirty miles away from Liuzhou City!
Yun Feiyu is full of gratitude and trust for the Tinghai Sword Faction, this time the Southeast Ping Bandit is also thanks to the great help of the Tinghai Sword Faction, since it is confirmed by his head and disciple personally, Yun Feiyu does not delay, only leaving five hundred soldiers to guard Liuzhou City, led by Zhang Gou, the captain of the seventh battalion, Yun Feiyu personally led two thousand seven hundred Tiger Battalion troops out of Liuzhou City to pursue Zhu Hailong, and sent soldiers to carry his order to hurry up in front of Zhu Hailong's department and order the states and counties along the line to send troops to block!
Zhu Hailong was extremely proud at the moment, he landed all the way this time, there was almost no resistance, and the officials and soldiers ran faster than rabbits everywhere he went, which made him even more despised and looked down on the imperial army of the Zhou Kingdom, if it weren't for the place where he met with the teacher, Takeda Morisuke sent someone to block him, he Zhu Hailong was even ready to go north alone for a hundred miles, the prosperity of the land in this boat is really not blown, especially the young ladies raised in the courtyard by the rich man of the official lord, the skin is so tender, the appearance is so handsome, and the moving and pitiful struggling and crying under him makes Zhu Hailong excited in retrospect, and he is even a little jealous of himself"Second brother" has a steady stream of Yanfu along the way!
Regarding the fiasco of Takeda Morisuke, through the messenger, Zhu Hailong also had some understanding, but he was sympathetic, but he was a little gloating in his heart, thinking that on weekdays, you Takeda Morisuke put on a score in front of Lao Tzu, how can you be so cowardly when it comes to moving seriously, so many people have been wrapped up by the rice buckets of the imperial court, so what qualifications do you have to be equal to Lao Tzu in the future!
But Zhu Hailong is not stupid, he knows that only he is left to toss a big point, and it is not worth it to provoke the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army, so he took the opportunity to return to the division, anyway, he and his three thousand subordinates not only grabbed all the gold, silver and jewelry, but also enjoyed a lot of yellow flower girls, this time the shore is also satisfied, and it is time to go back to the sea!
But Zhu Hailong didn't expect that on the way back from what he thought he was fully loaded, there was already a Sen Ran Blood Shura eyeing him!
When he was thirty miles away from Liuzhou City, Zhu Hailong wanted to enter Liuzhou City again to search again, but when he thought that he had already scraped the ground three feet last time, and he also enlarged the fire and burned the city, there was nothing to be nostalgic for, so he urged his subordinates to continue to hurry and cross the city.
After a day of travel, I didn't find a village or town, so I stayed in a forest and a wild place, let my subordinates raise a fire, send out the sentry brothers, and the rest of the people rested around the fire, and also set up a few big tents, Zhu Hailong naturally monopolized one, the moonlight was good tonight, Zhu Hailong was quite interested, hugged two little beauties who were not willing to kill, and his subordinates drank wine and ate meat around the fire together, and so on a little drunk, seeing that the time was not early, I wanted to take the two chicks into the tent to rest, and suddenly the guards in the distance shouted loudly: "What people!"
Zhu Hailong's heart was fierce, he pushed away the beautiful woman in his arms, drew his knife and looked at each other, and saw that his subordinates were not likely to lead four or five people to come, Zhu Hailong felt strange in his heart, took advantage of the moonlight and firelight to take a closer look, and exclaimed, "Why are you here?"
