However, the few cavalrymen under his command were no match for the northern Shanxi cavalry, and they did not dare to send them out to chase. They could only jump on their feet and yell, "Uncle Liu Xin, you shameless boy, don't run away if you have the ability. Someone from Jiao is going to chop off your head."
Be a chamber pot."
Jiao Changke was so angry that he was furious, but Li Yangchun was not too happy. He had already chased the rebels and beat them twice, but he became more and more flustered each time because he felt that the rebels were too small and sometimes he couldn't bear it.
They are going to devour this group of rebels in one go. Five thousand against ten thousand, it seems that they do not have an advantage in numbers, but they have five thousand cavalry, which is enough to eliminate these more than ten thousand uneven soldiers and horses.
What's going on? Why did the rebels send so few people to Danyang? Although Danyang's garrison was pitifully small and almost undefended, it should have been expected that the Northern Shanxi Army would not sit idly by. Even if Zhu Changxi did not expect this, Lu
Tong and Song Qiao should have figured it out. The situation is a bit strange.
Li Yangchun was afraid of being ambushed, so he did not rush to chase the rebels. Instead, he sent spies to the rear to see if there were any reinforcements following. However, half a day later, the news from the scouts was the same.
Not to mention the rebels' follow-up troops, they don't even have any personal hair.
Li Yangchun was sweating on his forehead. The rebels only had 10,000 troops going to Danyang. That was tantamount to asking for death. What was going on? Now Li Yangchun had concluded that the rebels had a conspiracy, but he didn't know what the problem was. I thought.
Not understanding the connection, he immediately sent a letter to Zhenzhou, begging Tie Mo to make a decision. Tie Mo, who had just entered Zhenzhou, received Li Yangchun's letter and then discussed it with Wang Zuoguan.
At the beginning of September, it was already a cool breeze, but Wang Zuogao kept waving his fan, as if he was feeling hot all over. Both the monarch and his ministers had bitter faces, and it felt very bad to be led away by the nose.
"Your Highness, judging from the current situation, the possibility of the rebels pretending to attack Danyang is very high. If his subordinate is Lu Tong, at this moment, he will definitely attack Suzhou and occupy the entire Taihu Lake Basin!" Wang Zuoguan was shocked.
Xue, as soon as he reminded Tie Mo, he quickly lay down in front of the map and started looking at it, and soon he showed a look of horror.
It is now September, the peak period of trade, and there are many ships near Taihu Lake at this time. If the rebels go down to Yixing in a battle and get the Yixing ferry, they can sneak attack Suzhou from the waterway in a short time.
I was wondering before that Lu Tong went south even though he knew the risks of going south to join forces. It turned out that his real purpose was not to go to Changzhou to find Zhu Changyan, but to seize the Taihu Lake Basin from the waterway. He is indeed as cunning as the fox Lu Shudao.
I almost got fooled by this old bastard.
Tie Mo snorted coldly. He was determined to deal with the Zhu Changxi brothers once and for all. Since Zhu Changxi dared to play like this, then play with him. He slapped the table and said coldly, "Meiling, you go there yourself."
Go to Yangzhou and tell Li Wanqing and the others
, let them send troops overnight, bypass Changzhou, and go south to Huzhou with the soldiers and horses of Suzhou Prefecture. They must defend Huzhou for me. Hum, Zhu Changxi, if you want Taihu Lake, then I will give you Taihu Lake. As long as you
I can drink all the Taihu water."
Tie Mo is very worried. He will use his limited troops to stage an ambush on all sides and trap all Zhu Changxi's troops in Taihu Lake. He is afraid that you will not go to Taihu Lake. If you dare to enter Taihu Lake, you will be trapped in the water for the rest of your life.
Swimming in. In the past, the troops were limited, so even if they wanted to besiege, Zhu Changxi had to go to Taihu Lake. There were only three ferries near Taihu Lake suitable for the army to disembark, one was Yixing Ferry, the other was Huzhou Ferry, and the other was Suzhou Ferry.
As long as the three ferries are locked, Zhu Changxi can only become an old bastard in Taihu Lake even if he has 50,000 troops. Tie Mo's move is very bold. He will let Yangzhou go by doing this, but he doesn't care. Zhu Changyan
If you want Yangzhou, go for it. As long as Zhu Changxi's serious problem is solved, what can he do if the remaining Zhu Changyan gives him the entire Huainan?
Zhu Changxi pretended to attack Danyang. This incident could not be hidden from Zhu Changyan. When the news came, Zhu Changyan had a gloomy face and clenched and unclenched one hand. After all, he was younger and could not express his emotions and anger.
He said, "My good brother, you want my little brother to die."
Zhu Changyan knows little, but it does not mean that he is stupid. No wonder the magnificent Mingqiao Mountain fell into Tie Mo's hands. At this time, he is still thinking about how to fight among himself. How can he be invincible? He feels more and more that it is not worth it.
, working hard to get through Taiping
On the way from Zhouzhou to Changzhou, he expected the two brothers to fight against Zhao Ling together, but the third brother actually treated him like this. Zhu Changyan drank wine quite frustrated. As for the letter asking for help from Jiao Changke from Danyang, he simply threw it away.
He walked aside and didn't even look at it.
On the fourth day of September, the stars are all over the sky, the moonlight is gone, people have fallen asleep, and there are occasionally a few beggars wandering on the streets. Liyang is not a big city, and the people who have come here for hundreds of years have lived in isolation.
days of struggle,
But today a soft sound broke the tranquility of the city. Twenty thousand King Lu soldiers and horses suddenly attacked Liyang, and the flames of war filled half of the town. Half an hour later, the crazy King Lu soldiers and horses looted Liyang and directly attacked many people.
of Yixing.
Yixing is responsible for half of the commodity circulation in the Suzhou Basin. The entire Taihu Basin is economically developed, and the east-west circulation relies on Yixing and Suzhou. Yixing is rich, and the prosperity here is no worse than Suzhou. The city park
Lin Yazhi, pavilions and pavilions, the scenery is unique. Countless ships are docked at the Yixing ferry. When it gets dark, most of the merchants go to the city to rest. The small traders hide in the ferry inn, and the rich go to the brothel in the city.
Go to the hotel and find your own happiness.
Just after the ugly hour, a bang of a clapper ushered in not the dawn but a desolation. Countless rebels poured into the Yixing ferry. They directly attacked the military camp south of the ferry. Due to the sudden incident, the Suzhou soldiers and horses of the Yixing camp
They were dispersed without much resistance. Half an hour later,
The entire Yixing ferry was occupied by the rebels, and all the wealthy businessmen in the city were concentrated in the north city of Yixing. Sun Boyan, the prefect of Yixing, was unwilling to surrender to the rebels, so he was beheaded by Li Chengqiang. Sun Boyan's family was also killed and they fled. When the rebels came,
Then he used thunderous means to control the entire Yixing.
At Chenshi, Zhu Changxi entered Yixing wearing a brocade robe. At this time, news of the fall of Yixing had spread throughout the Taihu Lake Basin.
After Huishan and Meng Zexu heard what happened to Sun Boyan, they secretly cursed, "You son of a bitch. Zhu Changxi really deserves to be a prince in vain. He has such a narrow-minded mind. However, they are also glad that they did not rush back to Suzhou Mansion, otherwise Zhu Changxi would have been completely let down."
He succeeded. Although there was no military order, Meng Zexu decided to do something.
He called the deputy general Ye Changchong and said, "Brother, I'm taking people to Yixing to join in the fun. Now you can lead the troops back to Suzhou quickly. I guess Magistrate Peng is short of people now."
Ye Changchong followed Meng Zexu in the rebellion. He had been an old brother for many years. He didn't know what his brother wanted to do. He couldn't help but said distressedly, "Brother, there is no problem for you to go to Yixing, but don't let anything happen to you. If anything happens to you,
It’s a matter of fact. Even if Ye has ten heads, it’s not enough for Your Highness to chop off. Also, don’t wait too long. Once you get it, retreat to Huzhou. I guess His Highness has already taken action.”
"Don't worry, it's not like you are going to risk your life, how can you lose your life?" Meng Zexu didn't take it seriously. If it were a formal large-scale battle, he really didn't have much skills, but if it was a sneak attack, hit and run,
Still very good at it.
On the fifth day of September, the whole city of Yixing County was under martial law, especially Yixing Ferry, which was in a state of preparation. All goods were moved to the shore, and the ships were requisitioned for combat. The common people were scolding, but they could not do anything about the swords in the hands of the rebels. Although His Highness Prince Lu
They say there will be compensation afterwards, but who would believe it? The rebels' burning, killing, and looting have already completely destroyed their credibility.
At noon, a bearded man led dozens of subordinates with their buttocks stuck out and swaggered like Donald Duck to the ferry. They were directly stopped by the rebels guarding the ferry. "Hey, what are you doing? I don't know that you can't just enter the ferry."
What?"
It was originally a routine question, but I never thought that the thick man like Donald Duck would glare and slap his hand, until the soldier who asked the question had blood all over his mouth. Soldiers don't have a good temper.
The guy who was beaten grabbed the handle of the knife and rushed up, "Who are you? You've rebelled. Come on, brothers, someone is making trouble."
As soon as the man shouted, a group of people came running up, including a captain who looked like a school captain, holding a felt hat, and shouted loudly, "What's going on, what's going on, Li Shanzi, who's causing trouble?"
As soon as the captain arrived, Li Shanzi pointed at the big man opposite and said angrily, "The boss, this guy. The younger brother only asked a question, but he hit people when he took action. He didn't even take the brothers seriously."
Li Shanzi was very angry, but the captain was very discerning. After looking around, he knew something in his mind. Seeing that this man was tall and thick, with a strong body and wearing the uniform of a general, he must be the deputy general in the general's tent.
, he hit someone with his nostrils in the sky, he must be relying on something, this kind of person cannot be offended easily. He motioned everyone to step back, especially Li Shanzi, with a wink, indicating not to make any noise yet, the school captain walked over and said
The brawny man causing trouble raised his hands and asked, "What do you call me brothers?"
The rough man nodded and looked unhappy, "Well, you still have some eyesight, not like that melon egg. Li Chengwan, a certain family, was ordered to come to the dock to pick up some goods. It just so happens that your subordinates don't have eyesight.
, how dare you block my way."
Li Chengwan? The captain's brows jumped. Li Chengwan and Li Chengqiang couldn't be from General Li's family, right? As if to confirm, he pulled the rough man's sleeve and smiled, "Brother, I wonder if you and
What does it have to do with the General? This cargo belongs to the General?"
As soon as the captain said this, he didn't expect the rough man to get angry immediately. He glared and said, "Nonsense, a certain Li Chengwan. The goods belong to me and have nothing to do with Li Chengqiang's army. You
Stop talking nonsense."
Hiss, if you haven't confirmed it before, the school officer has confirmed it 100% now. Just now he only mentioned the general. There are several generals under our Highness. He didn't even mention his last name. You just mentioned Li.
General Cheng Qiangqiang's name has been called out. Isn't this self-inflicted? Hey, General Li Chengqiang's goods, isn't that nonsense? General Li Chengqiang probably saw that there was a lot of cargo at the ferry and wanted to keep some for himself.
The school officer was not surprised. The goods at the ferry have been stolen by many people. It is normal for General Li to want to get some benefits. Don't block General Li's way. If you make the general unhappy, he will be able to do it again in the future.
Is it good?
The captain's smile became even brighter, and he immediately got out of the way, "Brother, please, please, little Zhao Zhen, please give me more support from my brothers in the future."
"Oh, Zhao Chen? A certain family has remembered you. You are a smart man." The rough man patted Zhao Chen on the shoulder and led the people into the ferry in a big way. When the rough man left and there was no one around, Li Shanzi ran over.
He said rather unconvinced, "Boss, why did you let them pass? My little brother got beaten in vain."
It's okay if Li Shanzi didn't say anything. After saying this, Zhao Chen's expression changed and he raised his leg and kicked it, "I've told you so many times. His eyes lit up. He knew who that person was just now. That person was Li Cheng."
People from the powerful general's family, do you really think he picked up the goods by himself?"
A member of General Li Chengqiang's family? Now Li Shanzi couldn't help but get scared. Fortunately, the captain stopped him in time, otherwise he would have suffered a big loss.
Just after noon, thick black smoke ignited from the tightly guarded Yixing ferry. For unknown reasons, several large ships docked on the shore caught fire, burning a lot of small boats. As a result, the ferry turned into a mess, and then
It was both putting out the fire and cleaning up the garbage at the ferry. The original plan to send troops to Suzhou that day was also shelved. At this time, after setting the fire, Li Chengwan also led his brothers to leave happily. As for this Li Chengwan
, isn’t it the commander of Wu Jiang, Meng Zexu?
Meng Zexu set fire to the big ship near the ferry, which was a bit dissatisfying. He thought that not only would he burn the ship, but it would be better to scuttle all the ships inside. Unfortunately, he took too few people with him.
It is impossible to complete such a huge task. Fortunately, the burned ships can delay the rebels for a while. The rebels have no chance of attacking Suzhou in the past two days. They can only rely on those small broken ships. Just transporting troops can defeat the rebels.
So exhausted.
Nowadays, the rebels in Yixing have no energy to take care of Meng Zexu's troops. They are all busy putting out the fire. Zhu Changxi, who has just occupied Yixing, is very happy. He is discussing with Song Qiao, Lu Tong and others how to look forward to Suzhou Prefecture.
, or even how to occupy the entire Taihu Lake Basin, but the thick smoke in the east of the city completely panicked him.
The yard was in a mess. Zhu Changxi, Song Qiao and others walked out of the hall. When they saw the black smoke in the east, their faces turned ugly. Zhu Changxi even said angrily, "What's going on with this smoke? Didn't I say that I would
Is it strictly guarded?"
Zhu Changxi was not a fool. Looking in the direction of the black smoke meant something was wrong at the ferry. Song Qiao had a pair of gloomy little eyes. He bowed his hands and led Lu Tong to the ferry in a hurry. He took a general look at the situation at the ferry. Song Qiao
He couldn't take a breath, and almost choked it to death. He was simply a bastard. Of course, he was scolding his own people. He told him no less than twenty times to guard the ferry, but he was still taken advantage of. The most ridiculous thing is that he let
They disappeared silently.
