Chapter 239 The way home (5)

The dark clouds in the sky slowly gathered in front of them.

The journey from Hangzhou to Huzhou was to escape all the way.[]

If we look at this time in the future, Hangzhou was broken at the fourth day of the lunar month, and everyone fled from the city in panic. After that, many people's most direct choice was to go to Jiaxing. At that time, Fang La's army still had various encirclements and blockades, leaving behind many people. Later, a large number of scattered people gathered on the road and restored some order. It was already the sixth day of the lunar month.

At this time, the Fang La Rebel Army gathered from the west to Hangzhou approached saturation and began to expand to all directions. The fugitives gathered again each chose their own painful directions to go. Although the mountains around Hangzhou were not deep, the waterways were crisscrossed and scattered. Some were caught and killed by the rebel army, and there were also batches of prisoners who were robbed and then sent back to Hangzhou.

For several months, Fang La's momentum after the military was raised was the most powerful. Fang Baihua resisted the Wujue camp in Kangfangting in the northwest, and Chen Shisheng's Wuwei army in the south was attacked by Deng Yuanjue and Sixingfang. Fang La, Fang Qifo and others captured Hangzhou heavily, and then there were tides of uprisings that echoed it. On the roads on all sides of Hangzhou, when those ignorant fugitives reacted, they had already discovered that starting from Hangzhou, no matter which direction they were heading, they almost became a dangerous minefield.

In addition to breaking the whole into pieces and scattering in the mountains, those who escaped by chance in the village and finally escaped by chance, and finally escaped safely in the form of a large army. Most of the people who were driven out of the city of Hangzhou and displaced eventually became sacrifices or original subjects of the "Yongle Dynasty" established by Fang La. The influence of the Wu Dynasty was suppressed to the lowest point in the land of Jiangnan. Of course, if you want to find small highlights, there are naturally some.

Its entire process only took place in a corner of the junction of Hangzhou and Huzhou. At that time, it came out of Hangzhou and gathered a large number of wealthy businessmen and gentry to walk here in a circle. The entire preparations only took place in less than two days from the early morning of the 10th day of the 11th day to the morning of the 11th day of the 10th day of the 11th day.

From a strategic perspective, it is difficult to complete an overly complex operation in one and a half days. There were five rebels who were approaching behind the team at that time, led by five generals from Fang La's army, Yao Yi, Lu Shuo, Xue Dounan, Mi Quan and Shen Zhucheng. The few Black Ling Guards and some soldiers from the Badao Battalion led by Liu Dabiao were not included in it. The combined force of these five teams was more than 6,000, and the morale was strong. In the escape team, there were a total of 3,000 remaining soldiers, and there were about 1,000 bodyguards under the sect of many wealthy businessmen and gentry. However, the combat power of these more than 1,000 people was not reliable.

In hindsight, these teams only had a simple interlacing and mental battle within a radius of less than forty miles, and then they started to generals. The matter was simple, but the subsequent results were somewhat unexpected. Of course, when the incident first happened, it was not just the army under Fang La, but even the escape team itself reacted after experiencing extremely shocked emotions.

The gathering clouds, the hot and uneasy weather, and the winding riverside, the team extended to the distance. The team was moving forward with nearly 10,000 people. At this time, a noise and internal strife were brewing at the end of the team, and there were silences among the crowd. In the front and middle sections, some soldiers or divisions on horseback were running back and forth. Most of them were holding paper and pens and scattering into every small team of the remaining soldiers, recording what needed to be recorded.

It seems a bit hasty to do this kind of statistics on the way to escape, but this matter starts in the morning, and the meaning passed down from above is simple. At this time, Chen Xing, the leader, had carefully talked with the gentry led by Tang Xiuxuan. At this time, as long as the team goes to Huzhou, every soldier will be a hero of the escort. In order to reward in the future, everyone's name and hometown will be recorded so that no matter the officers and soldiers in the team, everyone will be left behind. If these people die or are separated in Hangzhou, each will have additional pensions. This is the reward that everyone deserves after escorting these "big figures".

After the city of Hangzhou was broken, it was difficult for the Wude Camp army to remain weaving. Although there were more than 3,000 soldiers in this team, the team to which each person belonged was quite chaotic, and most of them lost the intention to fight. The reason why Chen Xingdu was able to become the military leader in this team was because the number of people under his command was at the highest, with more than 700 people. Although the rest were obeyed, it was quite troublesome to operate.

Wude Camp is said to be elite, but in fact, there is not much practical experience. After this great defeat, if we only say that we will build another organization, many people will be afraid. However, after this order was issued, in order to facilitate recording, these people began to gather automatically and temporarily elected officers according to the original military camp distribution. Although it seemed that they each occupied the top of the mountain, they finally established a closer weaving. During this period, Chen Xingdu naturally also installed a confidant development force, so that the order could be issued more quickly.

In the statistics of the number of troops, some rumors began to spread among soldiers or civilians. There were naturally negative news, including the approaching pursuers behind them, and the blocked path ahead, which were all circulated in secret and were made public in everyone's ears. Then, other news spread in the whispers of everyone.

"Mr. Tang and the others already have a way..."

"I heard that someone in the Tang family had a friendship with the traitors from Qingfeng Village. Now we have more than 3,000 Wude camps coming, and Qingfeng Village will make way..."

"No, I heard that a man named Ning Liheng had a plan, and everything was calculated. General Chen and his team were very proud of their treasures. My cousin was in the camp and saw it last night..."

"Who is Ning Liheng?"

"Hey, you don't know. This person seems to be a scholar, but he has the title of 10 steps to calculate it. He is also possessed with extremely high martial arts. In Hangzhou, Fang La's group of people were in trouble in the city, and he helped to give advice. Later, Shi Bao, Fang Qifo and others went to kill him personally, but he planned to kill several people and left, making Shi Bao, Fang Qifo in shame. Alas, it's a pity that the city was broken too early at that time. If he could hold on for a few more days, I heard that Fang Qifo would be killed by him..."

"...I heard that he also has a name in the world, but it's not a matter of ten steps. People call him a blood-handed man to slaughter him. This time he can definitely go there..."

All kinds of messy rumors were said to be amazing for a moment, including Ning Yi's actions in Taiping Lane, and his nickname was also spread.

Of course, this does not relieve the anxiety that has already arisen in most people's hearts. With enemies in front and behind, not many people can believe that a young man who was not famous before, even if he is portrayed as Zhuge Liang's reincarnation, it may not give people much confidence.

However, in the escape team at this time, there were actually not many choices for soldiers, wealthy businessmen, gentry, landlords, officials, etc. Once Fang La's army catches up, they will definitely have no chance of luck and will only die. At this time, they can only believe in some things they can believe in. However, those poor and poor or not many wealth in the team are different. They were originally following the crowd and thought the team was safe and followed together. At this time, they suddenly became nervous when they heard the news at the moment. The team was not in strong order, and there were various contradictions, but they were pressed together by everyone at the beginning, but after these desperate news came, the contradictions immediately became stale.

For these civilians, even if they are caught up, they can choose to surrender, or break it into pieces, and retract into the valley and the village. As long as Fang La's army does not kill all the surrounding areas of Hangzhou, there is naturally a possibility of evading. On the afternoon of the tenth day of the lunar month, under the willful indulgence of the top leaders of the team, after the team crossed the tributary of the river in front of them from a nearby place called Shiqiaobin, the fleeing team split into two strands of seven thousand and nearly three thousand people due to a small-scale fight.

These three thousand people began to turn northeastward, trying to go towards Jiaxing, around Qingfengzhai and Xiaoluo Town in front. Most of these people were composed of civilians, and there were wealthy businessmen and officials who were clever and mixed in. In the eyes of these people, the chasing troops behind were mainly for wealth. If the 7,000 people were used as bait, they would have some chance of life. Some people who felt that the danger ahead simply began to leave the team and disperse to the surrounding areas as civilians.

At this time, some difficult-to-decide problems began to arise among the pursuers following behind. As they approached the largest escape team, some complicated information began to appear suddenly.

From the lonely refugees, they could easily ask for various information, the size of the team, the internal strife that began to appear in the team, the magical rumors spreading in the team, such as "one-one-step calculation", "blood-handed man slaughtering", making Shi Bao, Fang Qifo, and Liu Dabiao look dirty, and then some people began to leave the team alone, or the information that a wealthy businessman and an official learned about the emergency situation and began to escape from the team and fled to the mountains.

The clues left by the 10,000 people fleeing were actually clear, but at this time, a series of things that interfered with judgment appeared, scattered on the way to escape, extending in different directions. The scouts of the five armies were all heading forward and colliding with the scouts of Wude Camp in different directions. Yao Yi and others went north, and were not united at all. Naturally, there would be some quarrels in distributing prey and spoils. In order to temporarily maintain peace, the five teams each chose a distance and advanced towards the front. Since the direction they chose was the same, Yao Yi and Lu Shuo even quarreled again. Of course, at this time, everyone was not worried about the issue of war. Even if they caught up, more than 3,000 remaining soldiers could not make any tricks under the siege of seven thousand people.

In the evening of that day, more than 7,000 main forces of the escape team turned back from the Shiqiaobin area where they originally crossed the river, and almost passed by Yao Yi's team who was chasing the north. The team went south for several miles at night and set up camp on the side of the dangerous river berth. The river channel was like a hook here. They turned south and returned, and there were various traces along the way. At this time, there were rivers blocking the road from the east to the south. The river berth was like a pocket to cover people. If Yao Yi and others turned back to the south, they would almost die. But now Yao Yi and others were also eager to chase north and did not come to investigate again.

That night, the five teams headed north on different paths. Among them, Xue Dounan and Mi Quan thousands even passed from the other side of the river where the crowd was camping. They also temporarily camped in different areas that were more than ten miles away from here. That night, the camp beside the river was almost suffocating. As long as the five pursuers headed north tomorrow, they would get the first chance to do other operations.

No one dared to make a fire, no one dared to light the light. Everyone, who knew that the situation was serious, almost consciously held their breath at the critical moment of life and death, and did not dare to speak loudly for a moment. But the retaliation that passed by Yao Yi's army at night was exaggerated in everyone's mouth. It was just a small trick, but everyone also needed some confidence to support it.

On the second day, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and the Wude Camp released the most elite spies. Paying attention to the movement of the armies in the north, Yao Yi's army began to pull out the camp, Xue Dounan and Mi Quan's army began to pull out the camp, Shen Zhucheng's army began to pull out the camp, Lu Shuo's army landed at the end, he followed Yao Yi's route toward Shiqiao Ferry, and then stopped on the eve of the river that noon that day...

He began to turn back.

At noon, a man named An Xifu rode on a horse on a hill to the north and led the Hei Lingwei toward the north.

His mission was different from Yao Yi and others, and Liu Dabiao, who came to find someone with Xingzi. It seemed very simple to disrupt Huzhou and cannot rescue Jiaxing. Yao Yi and others also took it as relaxing and making money, but he had to be responsible for the overall situation.

Chasing the fugitives along the way is to harvest the spoils, and you can be a little careless, but Huzhou still has its own army after all, so he led the Hei Lingwei and his party to travel north quickly, which had already exceeded the progress of everyone. Similar to Qingfeng Village and Xiaoluo Town, the people who suddenly rose up, had no contact with Fang La in advance, and at this time, An Xifu had to give them a name and let them really contribute in the battle.

At this time, they had approached Xiaoluo Town in front. A scout who stayed behind to observe the movements of Yao Yi and others also came back on a horse and told him the progress of the five people every day as usual. Looking at the information brought back by the scout, the man in black clicked on the map, frowned and put the map aside. He felt that these people were too lazy, too slow, fighting, and even robbing money slowly. It was hopeless. As for the escape team, it was a bit strange. This thought just flashed through his mind and did not think about it seriously.

But after a quarter of an hour, the group gradually went down the mountain, and some things gradually became pounding in their minds. He was stunned for a few times, then picked up the map to see it. After a moment, he really frowned: "It's impossible..."

He waved his hand and asked the team to stop, then called a scout to report the information he had heard yesterday. In this process, he remembered the experience of Shi Bao and others in Hangzhou, and the purpose of the Liu family's woman coming here this time. Although it is not certain, when he turned around, some ominous feelings seemed to be coming from the dark sky in the south.

"Ning Liheng..." He thought for a while, "I hope... it won't be like this..."

It was dark, and in the camp, Chen Xing was sitting in the tent, and his two confidants were deducing the plan that Ning Yi brought. When the news of the scout came, his whole face turned pale.

"Why, why is this happening... it shouldn't be..."

He subconsciously looked at Ning Yi's plan. The plan was a bit complicated, but very convincing. At present, this step can only be regarded as the beginning. Speaking of which, there are still thousands of people in this army. It is not impossible to break through Qingfeng Village and go north to Huzhou in Xiaoluo Town, but the pursuers in the rear are approaching. As long as the battle situation is delayed, nearly 10,000 people will be made into dumplings. Now, when these generals and soldiers are completely out of their minds, it is impossible to say that the battle situation will go smoothly.

To transform conflicts, use the three thousand people as bait, his group of people quickly turned back and hid in the Jedi that they were unlikely to search. As long as they found some gaps, they could change the way again and gain more operating space. Regarding this feasibility, Ning Yi gave many analysis on how the leaders of the pursuers used gold and silver and attacking the hearts to slightly increase the distance between them. To be honest, he arranged a lot of ways to respond, and almost every situation had an idea. When Ning Yi arranged some soldiers to set up a suspicion array to make the pursuers feel a little rift and then scattered, Chen Xing actually had a lot of confidence in Ning Yi, not to mention that there was a Qian Haiping next to him. Speaking of Ning Yi's original plan to deal with Shi Bao and others, it was similar to that now, and quite effective.

The team once again counted the soldiers' organization, and the method was also given by Ning Yi. Then the rumors and divisions in the team almost confirmed part of the plan. They did hide here for a night, but they did not expect that at this most critical moment, the other party discovered them and started to turn them back.

In this plan, it was confirmed in various ways that the other party would be mihuo and determined the feasibility with complicated words. After that, the various plans were extremely popular, but they did not explain clearly what to do at this time. Someone seemed to have put forward this opinion at the beginning. Ning Yi was sick at that time, just said: "You see the development and then decide whether to do this, okay?"

Everyone had never seen such a detailed and convincing plan before. Even Tang Xiuxuan said, "You have to take risks." He temporarily overwhelmed the doubters with his strong confidence at that time and his complex arrangement in other aspects, but at this point, it was like he was hit on the head, and the matter was screwed up in an almost fatal place the next day.

After a while, Chen Xingdu grabbed the plan and walked out. The weather was stuffy and heavy. Everyone was not sure about the news, so they just waited quietly. He went all the way to the tent on the Su family. At this time, Ning Yi had just woken up from his sleep. Since the evening of the ninth day of the lunar month, the fever on his head had become more and more serious. At this time, Su Tan'er had to support him to sit up from the chuáng. The high fever also temporarily affected his thinking. When Chen Xingdu came in, he felt a little confused and shook his head. Chen Xingdu looked at him for a while, suppressing his trembling tone: "What happened..."

Ning Yi rubbed his head: "Yao Yi... no, Lu Shuai... should be Lu Shuai..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Tan'er, who was kneeling aside and tidying up his clothes, spoke: "General Chen, where has Lu Zhao been?"

Chen Xing was slightly stunned, looking at the couple, then threw down the plan, grabbed a map, and drew a point: "He was on the Shiqiao Ferry and started turning back! He found us!"

Ning Yi thought for a while: "Where are the others?"

Chen Xing drew four dots, and the five dots on the map were like a fan, which had surrounded this side, some farther and some were closer. Ning Yi looked at the map for a while, closed his eyes: "Then what are you waiting for?"

"you……"

"The army of Lu Shuo has only more than one thousand people, and we have four thousand. They are now scattered and separated by the river. Then we will find us one after another. General Chen, now is the best time to defeat each other. I can only do so much. What are you waiting for?" In front of Chen Xingdu, the scholar stood up with some difficulty and looked at him. His voice was not high. "They were intrigues with each other, and they were far apart and could not rescue them. After these people were defeated, the siege of Huzhou would be all removed. General Chen will be promoted in the future and will be granted a title and a wife and son. You will definitely have a share, you know."

Chen Xing hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth and said, "You are enjoying me... You know, the defeat is like a mountain of defeat, and these people can't beat them at all...even if there are more than a thousand people..."

"But now we are not fighting for others. We have told them the seriousness of the matter since yesterday. In an empty place, they can take off their military uniforms and hide in the mountains. There is no possibility now. We have no way out of retreat behind us, and we are burning our boats. Now we are the soldiers who are sad. If we don't move forward, we will die."

"If...if you can't win, you know..."

"You believe that plan too!?" Ning Yi raised his tone slightly, gritted his teeth and pointed at the plan that was thrown to the ground by Chen Xing. "That's all lies, so that's all! I'm not a god, how could I count so much! General Chen, I can only control this day. They have been pursuers, underestimating the enemy, and have been temporarily blinded and can't react at once. If this counterattack fails, they calm down and we will never have any chance."

"The road can be pointed by others, but life must be earned by oneself! In this situation, there is a good way to live without using small tricks." He looked at Chen Xingdu: "My wife is pregnant. If she can't beat four thousand and one thousand, we will all die here, just like that..." ro!.
