When the sky was dim and bright, Dong Tuanxiao came to the camp and bowed to Tuotuo.
"I wonder why the Prime Minister called me here early in the morning?"
Tuotuo raised his hand and said calmly: "You sit down for a while, and I will invite two more people over."
Send someone to invite King Xining and Polo Buhua to come over.
After a while, the tent curtain was opened, and King Xining and Polo Buhua entered the tent together.
Bo Luo Buhua stared at Dong Tuanxiao, laughed, and said: "Dong Tuanxiao, the secret of your collusion with Jiangdu Army has been exposed by me!"
Dong Tuanxiao glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't you lose the Zhennan King of Yangzhou? Could it be that you took refuge with Zhang Yangquan and were sent by him to sow discord?"
Boluo Buhua was furious: "I am a descendant of Genghis Khan, how could I seek refuge with Han'er?"
Tuotuo raised his hand to indicate that the two of them did not need to argue, and said to Dong Tuanxiao: "I want to ask you, did you instruct your subordinates to deliberately defeat the first battle against Xinghua?"
Dong Tuanxiao was secretly frightened and said with a stern face: "If the Prime Minister wants to convict me, he can just use the false trust he made before, why bother looking for another reason!"
Tuotuo squinted his eyes and said, "I'll ask you again, is Jia Lu in your camp?"
Dong Tuanxiao's face changed slightly and he said: "Jia Gong disappeared after his defeat in Jiangdu. How could he be in my camp?"
Tuotuo shook his head and said: "Dong Tuanxiao, I value you so much that I even gave you a chance to atone for your sins, but you have disappointed me so much!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly grabbed someone and entered the camp, it was Jia Lu.
Jia Lu laughed and said: "Old Tuotuo, you don't have to say it so nicely. As long as the battle of Yangzhou is won, you will immediately cross the river and demolish the bridge to frame Dong Gong. Aren't you always like this towards the Han people?"
Tuo Tuo said coldly: "Xinghua has been unable to be defeated for so long. Is that because you did it on purpose?"
Jia Lu laughed and said: "That's right! We also deliberately lost to the Jiangdu navy in the battle of Gaoyou Lake to get rid of the old thief. How much patience do you think His Majesty still has for you?"
Tuotuo pointed at Jia Lu and said sternly: "Drag him out and pour silver water into his mouth and nose!"
Dong Tuanxiao shouted: "Stop, Tuotuo, if you want to kill Mr. Jia, kill me too!"
Tuotuo said coldly: "Do you think I will spare you?"
Jia Lu laughed loudly: "Old thief, do you think we will let Mr. Dong come to your camp without making any preparations?"
Tuotuo's face changed slightly.
At this moment, a general outside the gate broke into the commander's tent and said hurriedly: "Prime Minister, it's bad, the left route army surrounded the southern camp gate of the Chinese army and asked us to release Dong Tuanxiao and Jia Lu!" p>
Tuotuo stared at Dong Tuanxiao and said, "Are you going to rebel?"
Dong Tuanxiao remained silent.
Jia Lu said loudly: "Tuotuo, in order to shirk the responsibility for the defeat of Haozhou, you made me and Dong Gong bear the blame. It is you who are disloyal to the court! I advise you to let us go, otherwise the Left Route Army and the Central Army will fight.
You must know the result!"
Tuo Tuo's cheeks trembled and he waved his hand: "Drag them both down and keep them under strict supervision!"
Several soldiers received the order and took the two men down.
Yesu's face turned pale and he said: "Prime Minister, how should the Left Route Army respond?"
Tuotuo was silent for a while and said: "Don't worry, as long as Dong Tuanxiao is in our hands, they won't dare to act rashly! You send people to find Chahan and ask him to lead troops back to reinforce and wipe out Dong Tuanxiao's rebels!"<
/p>
Yesu said: "What should Jiang Dujun do?"
Tuotuo sighed and said: "Now that things have happened, the possibility of recapturing Yangzhou is slim. Let's destroy the rebels first!"
Yesu nodded and left.
The Chahan Army quickly received Tuotuo's order. He and Kuo Kuo had long suspected that Dong Tuanxiao was colluding with the Jiangdu Army, so without much hesitation, they immediately led the army back to Gaoyou, blocking the left route army's retreat.
……
The news that Chahan led his troops to withdraw from Shaobo Town quickly spread to Jiangdu.
Soon, Geng Si received news of internal strife in the Yuan army. Only then did everyone know that Tuotuo had captured Dong Tuanxiao, which led to the mutiny of the left army.
Seeing that Zhang Yangquan had really pushed back the Left Route Army, he realized that the Yuan army was in disarray and now was a good opportunity to defeat the Yuan army. He ordered the army to prepare for an attack, and at the same time asked the Military Intelligence Agency and scouts to carefully investigate the movements of the Yuan army.<
/p>
A day later, Geng Si sent back more detailed news.
The left route army of the Yuan army surrounded the gate of the Chinese army's camp, and the right route army blocked the rear of the left route army, echoing each other with the Chinese army, forming a pincer attack.
However, for some unknown reason, none of the three groups took action, forming a confrontation.
Zhang Yangquan was greatly puzzled. If he was Tuotuo, he should cut off the mess quickly before his side could react. Otherwise, continuing the confrontation would only give him an opportunity!
The more Tuotuo behaves like this, the less Zhang Yangquan dares to attack easily, and can only continue to wait and see what happens.
A few days later, Geng Si sent back another shocking news. Zhao Junyong's Red Scarf Army fought against King Jing's Mobei Army in Xiao County. As a result, Zhao Junyong was defeated and returned to Sizhou.
The Mobei Army is returning to Gaoyou.
Zhang Yangquan was greatly surprised. After the Battle of Baoying, he had always regarded King Jing as a waste like King Xining. He did not expect that the Mobei Army could defeat Zhao Junyong.
From this point of view, the reason why Tuotuo did not take action was probably because the front army had won. He probably wanted to wait for the front army to come over, and then combine the three armies to deal with the mutinous left army!
Two days later, Zhang Shicheng sent Lu Zhen over again, agreeing to take advantage of the internal strife in the Yuan army to take action together.
Zhang Yangquan only made one suggestion: You must wait until the left army and the right army start fighting before taking action, and you must not act too hastily.
Time passed slowly in the tense atmosphere.
Eight days later, the Mobei Army finally returned to Gaoyou. Zhang Yangquan assembled an army of 30,000 troops outside the city gate. He also moved into the military camp, waiting for the Yuan army to fight within the army!
However, on the afternoon of the next day, Geng Si sent someone back to report that the internal strife among the four armies of the Yuan Army seemed to have subsided. The four armies were lined up and stationed outside the north gate of Gaoyou City.
Zhang Yangquan was shocked. Could it be that the Left Army surrendered because they saw that their side had no chance of winning?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The total number of the four armies is still more than 200,000. If they attack Gaoyou together, Zhang Shicheng will be in danger again!
The situation changed too quickly and the information was insufficient. Zhang Yangquan did not dare to act arbitrarily and could only continue to wait for news from the front line.
On the third night, Zhang Yangquan was sleeping on the hardwood bed in the camp when he was suddenly awakened by his guards.
"General Manager, General Geng has sent his scouts back again. He said he has urgent news and wants to report to you!"
It was already late April, and the weather was getting warmer. Zhang Yangquan put on a cloak and got up, ordering people to call the scouts.
The scout was none other than Yang Baihu. His face was flushed and he said ecstatically: "General manager, the Yuan army is fighting among themselves!"
Zhang Yangquan was surprised and happy, and quickly asked: "What's going on? Please explain it clearly!"
Yang Baihu said: "It happened last night. Some soldiers of the right route army suddenly mutinied and attacked the front route army. Soldiers of the left route army went to suppress them and fought with them. Then the middle route army also mutinied. The entire Yuan Dynasty
The camp was in chaos and turned into a pot of porridge!"
Zhang Yangquan said in a daze: "You said the Right Army was the first to mutiny?"
Yang Baihu nodded repeatedly: "Yes!"
"Repression by the Left Army?"
"Yes!"
Zhang Yangquan looked puzzled and said: "Logically speaking, Dong Tuanxiao's left army should have mutinied, and the right army should suppress it. Why is it the other way around?"
Yang Baihu said: "There seems to be some transfers at the top of the Yuan Army, which may be related to this. The big shopkeeper has sent people to investigate the matter, and there will be news soon!"
Zhang Yangquan took a deep breath and said: "Go back and continue to explore the movements of the Yuan army. Tomorrow morning, I will lead the army to march towards Gaoyou!"
After Yang Baihu left, Zhang Yangquan went to Qin Lingjun's camp and told her the situation, but Qin Lingjun couldn't figure out the secret behind it.
However, she felt that she should march immediately. After all, it was still a long way to Gaoyou, and she should be able to understand the internal situation of the Yuan army halfway.
Zhang Yangquan nodded in agreement, and ordered the three armies to bury the pots and make rice. An hour later, they broke camp and marched into Gaoyou!
