Liu Futong spent a year refining his troops and recuperating. Now he has 150,000 elite soldiers and 1,000 generals, and it is time to make a difference. At the moment when the Yuan Dynasty was in turmoil, the disobedience of the military lords from all over the country also caused the Song Dynasty to have trouble.
Got a chance to breathe.
In early February 1356 AD, King Xiaoming of the Song Dynasty appointed Zhang Dakui as the general and Yang Yonghuai as the deputy general. He led an army of 50,000 horse infantry to capture Xuzhou. The counties and counties along the way heard the news and surrendered, and followers gathered. Before reaching Xuzhou, Dakui's red scarf army had increased.
to 80,000 people.
It was already nightfall when we arrived at Xuzhou City. Da Kui ordered his troops to camp thirty miles south of the city. At this time, the gates of Xuzhou City were closed and the city was heavily guarded. In the Chinese army tent, Da Kui and his deputy Yang Yonghuai were frowning. The walls of Xuzhou City were thick and thick.
It is heavily guarded, how can we capture it?
At this moment, the messenger outside the tent said, "Report to General Zhang, the night patrol soldiers have caught a spy." Dakui said, "I'm not familiar with this interrogation matter, so you should do it." Yang Yonghuai nodded and said, "
Bring him in." After a while, two soldiers escorted a commoner-looking man into the tent. Yang Yonghuai asked: "What do you do?" The commoner said: "My name is Feng Liu, and I am a commoner here. I originally wanted to enter.
City. When I saw the city gate was closed, I walked home, but I didn’t expect to be caught by the military master."
Yang Yonghuai said: "You don't look like a spy. These soldiers are too careless." After a pause, Yang Yonghuai said: "It's getting late. How about this? I'll be the host tonight. It's an apology."
I'll wait until dinner is over before someone takes you back." Feng Liu hurriedly bowed and said, "How dare you bother the general? It's okay. I'll go back now." Yang Yonghuai said, "Hey, I'll make peace with you now that I'm here."
"After saying this, he ordered people to set up tables and chairs in the tent to serve wine and food.
During the dinner, Yang Yonghuai said: "Come on, fellow countryman. I'll do it first as a token of respect." After saying that, he raised his glass and drank the wine in the glass. Feng Liu hesitated and said he didn't drink, he just said he wouldn't. Yang Yonghuai didn't care that he only drank himself.
Yes, Dakui sat at the main seat and stared at it for a while, wondering what kind of medicine Yang Yonghuai was selling in his gourd. After a while, Yang Yonghuai said: "I'm going to relieve myself, fellow villagers, you're welcome." After that, Yang Yonghuai said.
After leaving the tent, I came back a short while later, sat back down and continued drinking.
After drinking two more cups, Yang Yonghuai said: "This cup is too small. Exchange it for a larger bowl. Someone, bring me a larger bowl." Not long after, a captain came in with a jar of wine and several large bowls. It was Jia Jia.
three.
Jia San came in and took a look: "Oh, let me tell you, on what day are there so many dishes?" Yang Yonghuai scolded: "If you want to eat and drink, sit down, it's so long-winded." After hearing this, Jia San quickly grabbed a seat and gave it to everyone.
After getting a big bowl, he first poured himself a bowl and took a bite, "Wow, this knife is so powerful." After saying that, he raised his chopsticks and was about to eat. Yang Yonghuai scolded: "Are you blind? Ours."
The wine is not full yet." Jia San hurriedly raised his hand to apologize, stood up and poured a bowl for everyone, and then started eating and drinking by himself.
Yang Yonghuai said to Feng Liu: "Come here, let's have three bowls of each other." Feng Liuyi heard this and said hurriedly: "I don't know how to drink." Jia Sanyi heard this and reached out to take the knife, slapped it on the table and said to the people: "I have been here since I was a child.
He has a bad temper, and he hasn't killed anyone in ten days. If you know what's going on, just drink it, otherwise hehe." Jia San had a fierce look on his face, his eyes were not big, and his smile made him look even more sinister and terrifying.
Feng Liu didn't dare to be lazy, so he picked up the wine bowl and drank it all. Jia San poured the people in and drank again. After three bowls, Feng Liu shook his head and lay down on the table.
Yang Yonghuai took a mouthful of vegetables and ate it in his mouth. After chewing it carefully, he said in a cold voice: "Search." Jia San stretched out his hand into Feng Liu's arms and touched it for a long time and said, "No." Yang Yonghuai said again: "Tear it off carefully."
Search." Jia San immediately took action, and finally found a compartment in Feng Liu's underwear, and took out a letter from it. Yang Yonghuai took it and saw that it was a secret letter. The envelope was hot-painted and sealed.
.Yang Yonghuai turned the letter over, carefully opened the envelope at the other end, took out the letter, and read it carefully by candlelight.
The letter said: "General Bagur has reported that the red scarf bandits have gathered a hundred thousand people to invade Xuzhou. Now they are approaching the city. The existing fifty thousand soldiers in Xuzhou may not be able to resist it. I hope the general will rescue him quickly." The inscription is Xuzhou garrison ancient.
Lit.
After reading the letter, Yang Yonghuai returned the original envelope and sealed the envelope. He asked Jia San to put the letter back in the middle of Feng Liuxi's clothes and get him dressed. Dakui was sitting there and it was hard to ask, so Yang Yonghuai said: "Find him a
Rest in the camp and inform the sentry. We will only set up secret sentry tonight, and the open sentry will sleep where he is." Jia San accepted the order, picked up the so-called common people and went out. Dakui asked what was going on, and Yang Yonghuai said: "The Xuzhou garrison asked Suzhou for help.
, the letter stated that Xuzhou only has 50,000 soldiers."
Dakui asked: "What should we do?" Yang Yonghuai said: "Since Xuzhou is asking for help, we might as well intercept the Suzhou reinforcements halfway and then take advantage of the situation to capture Suzhou." Dakui said hurriedly: "The marshal asked us to capture Xuzhou." Yang Yonghuai smiled.
Da Kui said: "The art of war states that 'attacking the city is the first step'. If we delay here and the marshal's plan goes against him, it is better to take Suzhou first, and then attack Xuzhou once we have a foothold." Dakui said: "Before leaving, the marshal told me to listen to you.
Just do what you say." He picked up the wine bowl and started to drink. Yang Yonghuai stretched out his hand to stop it and said: "There is sweat medicine in the wine." Dakui was stunned: "Didn't you drink it too?" Yang Yonghuai said with a smile: "Let's go ahead of time.
Use the antidote." After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled...
At three o'clock in the night, Feng Liu opened his eyes. Several soldiers in the camp were covering their heads and snoring. Feng Liu stretched out his hands and groped carefully in his arms to feel relieved. He stood up and walked out of the camp. When he went out, he saw that there was no one around.
Taking this opportunity, he walked all the way out of the camp. Although he encountered two patrol teams on the way, he skillfully avoided them.
At noon on the second day, a large force of troops and horses came from south to north on the official road leading to Xuzhou, with military flags waving and soldiers' armor clanging. The leading general, Bagur, was riding leisurely on his horse, and he was not in a hurry.
Suzhou is already guarded by deputy generals. This time he brought 30,000 soldiers and horses to rescue Xuzhou. When the two sides attack, the red scarf bandits will be wiped out in one fell swoop. Thinking of this, Bagur couldn't help but feel good. The mountains on both sides were lush and green, and the birds were singing.
Secretes the heart and lungs.
Bagur was leading the team, and in the distance a man riding alone blocked the road in the middle of the road. From a distance, this man was dressed in fiery red, and even the horse was red. When he got closer, Bagur rode his horse a few steps forward.
He asked: "Who is blocking the road ahead? Get out of the way quickly."
This man was Dakui. Dakui shouted sharply: "I opened this road and planted this tree. If you want to pass by, please leave money." When Bagur heard this, he almost burst into laughter. A general next to him responded with a move.
Ten crossbowmen rushed to the side to draw their bows and arrows, waiting for the order.
