Chapter 676
It is precisely because the senior leaders of the Liu family army highly praised them and attached great importance to them that they did not dare to send a partial army to attack Suzhou. In their plan, they would send another army to attack after they took Nanjing.
After all, Suzhou is an important town, a big place, and a very important place. It is also a must-have place for the Liu family army, but it must be gradually guided around and completed the great cause after taking Nanjing.
It is precisely because of this importance that they carefully sent a horse team to conduct reconnaissance in this direction.
After Liu's army captured Zhenjiang, he began to divide his troops to monitor Changzhou and Wuxi.
But when they crossed Danyang and saw no signs of the official army. After arriving in Changzhou, Changzhou Prefecture kept its guard behind closed doors and could not leave.
They also found out that there were no officers and soldiers in the city, which could not pose any threat to them. To them, this city was just a fat meat, just waiting for them to take it down.
So they passed by Changzhou and went straight to Wuxi. As a result, they saw this scene outside the city of Wuxi. Judging from the banner, this is the camp of the governor of Yingtian Shi Kefa.
But when they surrounded the generals, they found that the other party was so shabby and so weak. At first, they thought the other party was suspicious of the military plan just to destroy their vanguard.
However, they sent a ranger and after several investigations, they did not find any ambush or any ambush. When they entered the camp, they found that there were only more than 200 people in the camp, which accommodated more than 200 people, and these people were still fighting on the teaching ground.
They surrounded the group and took them all down.
Sun Kewang was very confused. Judging from the other party's banner and official positions, these seemed to be the style of Governor Yingtian, but a governor from the court sent a large army to conquer the battle. This should not be so shabby, just over 200 people, what is the situation?
After they took the place, they tied up the soldiers and prepared for interrogation. Who knew that a little black man pointed at them and cursed: "Rebellious ministers and thieves! When our court army arrives, you can be wiped out and all the nine clans will be destroyed."
Sun Kewang didn't like to listen to this. He was just a bandit. After joining the Liu family's army, he thought he had joined the official army. Who knew that the Liu family would rebel in the end. He was the life of a traitor, and he basically accepted his fate.
But he once laughed at himself as a traitor, but he would not allow others to say that. If someone mentioned his origin, he would be furious and very angry. No matter who you are, he would dare to fight you one-on-one.
Sun Kewang saw that the other party was wearing a scarlet dress of a third-rank official. He was quite glamorous, but he looked so haggard. He gave him the feeling that he was wearing a dragon robe and didn't look like the prince. He sat upright and said, "Who are you? Are you talking nonsense, aren't you afraid of beheading your head?"
Shi Kefa shouted: "I am the governor of Yingtian, who was appointed by the imperial court, and Shi Kefa!"
Governor Yingtian was one of the important enemies Liu Jun imagined. He was also the most important military presence of the imperial court in Nanzhili. She had at least tens of thousands of troops around her, which could be said to be their greatest force to take over Suzhou. If this boss hadn't been stationed here, they might have sent troops to attack this line long ago.
It was because of such a big boss here that they were timid and did not dare to let go. Who knew that the prisoner in front of them actually claimed to be Governor Yingtian. He couldn't believe that there was no such shabby official, and it was also the most important official in Northern Zhili.
Sun Kewang thought the other party was pretending, and he disagreed. Who knew that he had not refuted the other party's lies yet. A team of his subordinates rushed over and said, "Mr. Huiying Zheng, I found an official seal from here and several ceremonial guards. It was confirmed that this person was the governor of Yingtian Shi Kefa."
When Sun Kewang heard this news, he felt a little ridiculous and funny. Before he came to his senses, Shi Kefa said loudly: "Yes! I am Shi Kefa. A real man will not change his surname or change his name!"
Shi Kefa never expected that he would encounter the rebels of the Liu family in Wuxi, and he was surrounded and captured alive by the other party. He seemed extremely ashamed. He wanted the enemy to kill him, and he could do it all. If he was caught by the other party and paraded in the streets, it would bring greater humiliation, so he scolded him and hoped that the other party would kill him.
Sun Kewang heard that the person in front of him actually regarded him as the number one enemy in Suzhou, Shi Kefa, was really surprised. This was really a big fish, but this big fish seemed to be too shabby, right? The governor and the soldiers around him were not as good as his camp. He said loudly: "Since it is Lord Shi, I will be troubled to let you down and go to our camp as a guest."
Shi Kefa said loudly: "I am the official of the court and I am deeply grateful to the emperor. I will never surrender to you rebels. If you want to kill, kill, and chop, you will never frown. Although you are in power today, the court will sooner or later send a large army to wipe you out and destroy the nine clans, and you will never be reborn."
Sun Kewang disagreed. He sneered and said, "Can the court send a large army? You are Governor Yingtian, an important minister in the court, and you are actually a hollow big boss with no soldiers around you. Where can the court send troops to fight? How can you not perish if you have an official like you in the Ming Dynasty?"
Shi Kefa was very ashamed and embarrassed when he said this to the other party.
He was Governor Yingtian and an important official of the Ming Dynasty. In the eyes of many people, he, Governor Yingtian, was an awesome person. He was in charge of military and horses and the people. As a guardian, he had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses obeyed his orders, but who knew he was so down and so shabby.
Since Shi Kefa was a senior Jinshi, he has sent out to be an official and has had some ideals and passion, which is to work hard for the Ming Dynasty court, to wipe out the treacherous officials and rioters in the world, and to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Who knew that after so many years, the Ming Dynasty did not revive, but became more and more chaotic and more difficult. And his so-called important minister of the Ming Dynasty and the guardian official on his side were so shabby.
Of course they think they have no problem. The main reason why he is so down and out today is that these officials have been so flirting with each other.
If these people, who were ashamed and loyal to the Ming Dynasty, would not have done such anger between man and gods. Therefore, when he left Suzhou, he was already sighing that the world was getting worse and worse, but people's hearts were not as good as ever.
But now he was humiliated by a small officer on the other side, and he was feeling a little embarrassed when he thought about it, because the other side had made a solid statement, that is, his important minister of the court could not get money and food for the court, nor could he attract troops. What would the Ming Dynasty use to quell these rebels and quell these rebels?
Sun Kewang took Shi Kefa, which made him very excited. Suzhou is a military center in their eyes, with heavy troops and a very important place. If he took this place, he would take down the big fat meat in Jiangnan and the granary of the world. This is the land of Wu and Yue, the granary of the world, and anyone who sits in the world must control it.
The Liu family army also included this place as a place that they must control. It was precisely because they attached too much importance to this place and did not dare to despise it at all that they thought that after they were drawn out, they swept across the road, took Changzhou, Wuxi, and took down all the prefectures and counties around Taihu Lake, and the new Liu family army would not have a shortage of food.
This is because I attach too much importance to it, but I am cautious. Sun Kewang suddenly had an idea, what if I take Suzhou?
Since they took Zhenjiang, Sun Kewang has been sent in this direction, just to let him look at the wind and be a spy. He felt that it was a useless person and cursed all day long and was very angry, but he also understood that among the Liu family army, there were many famous generals and many experts.
That person doesn't brag and says how powerful he is, it must prove whether you are powerful or not. For example, Chen Wenruo, a small camp leader, actually took Yangzhou and won the bridgehead of Jiangnan for Liu Jun, allowing them to quickly win this beautiful land. The Liu family army was able to sweep this place quickly, and he made great contributions.
After Chen Wenruo made such a great contribution, Liu Bu was generously rewarded him and immediately appointed him as his teacher. This is equivalent to a few consecutive promotions. This is the case with the Liu family army. He will not tell you about seniority. If you have the ability, you will immediately promote you. If you don’t have the ability, you will still not be reused to you no matter how old your qualifications are.
The Liu family army is relatively fair. If you make meritorious service, you will be rewarded, and if you lose a battle, you will be punished. If you want to be promoted, the only way is to make meritorious service. Sun Kewang is an ambitious person. He always wanted to follow the army to attack Nanjing and make great contributions. But he suddenly remembered that Nanjing City is all there, with more wolves and fewer meats. With merit, it is also the credit of these generals who commanded the army to attack the city. What can he do if he has a small battalion? If he can take Suzhou, what should this be?
Sun Kewang also had the problem of Liu Jun in the past. This was because he attached too much importance to Suzhou and did not dare to take action easily. But now he suddenly thought of one thing, that is, the Ming Dynasty was so weak and incompetent, and was so dignified that Suzhou could only gather more than 2,000 soldiers and escape. In other words, these garbage in the army reached the extreme. They could maintain it because they could maintain it. If hundreds of elite soldiers under his command suddenly attacked and took the city gate, they might capture the city.
