Chapter 433 Dirty business

7days ago Historical fiction 7
In mid-February, after the main force of Zhang Fu's army arrived at Kunming City, it soon started to drizzle in the sky.

Zhang Fu immediately rode a horse to the official army's Dacang on the bank of Panlong River.

This place where the most storing military rations is built is like a small town.

In the rain, the embers inside were not completely extinguished, and the sky above the small town was filled with smoke.

At the gate of the big camp where the grain was stored, Zhang Furu stayed on the horse and watched the big words on it, saying: The one who burned the grain, Grandpa Ping.

Seeing this, Huang Zhong, the general next to him, immediately cursed: It must be Ping An, it was indeed the tone of that guy speaking!

Zhang Fu didn't say a word, staring at the words for a long time, as if he wanted to erase them with his eyes!Instead of entering the city immediately, he turned around and ran around Okura, watching the terrain and defense here.

This Okura is surrounded by water on one side and mountains on both sides.Zhang Fu raised his head and could still see the military camp built by the official army on the top of the mountain.

Zhang Fu was very confused. Ping'an only had a small number of cavalry. How did he break through the defense line of the government army and run to the government army camp and burn a large amount of military rations?

Shouldn’t all areas where the army hoards military rations be strictly prevented?

Zhang Fu doesn’t think he is so powerful as a veteran like Gu Cheng, but he is definitely very experienced. Why do he make such a ridiculous mistake?!

Zhang Fu led the cavalry and patrolled with his own eyes.He was even more suspicious and surprised when he saw more than one granary burned by the government army and more than half of Gu Chengjun's military rations were burned down.

Our food and grass can only be supported for a few days. Now Zhenyuan Hou is short of military rations. What should we do?Huang Zhong asked.

Zhang Fu still didn't say anything and rode straight towards Gu Cheng's central army camp.

Kunming City in the distance was very quiet in the rain. The battle to siege had stopped, and even the cannons were not set off after it rained.Zhang Fu felt a terrible silence along the way!

Zhang Fu finally met Gu Cheng in a house in a village.

The two doctors just left the bed with the medicine box.

Gu Cheng's face was very bad, his face was haggard, sweaty, and his white hair was messy, looking like an ordinary old man with oil and dry lights.

Gu Cheng's first sentence was: I am old.

Zhang Fu didn't even say a word of greeting, and stood in front of the bed very rudely, frowning.

Is Guizhou City captured by rebels?Zhang Fu asked.

Gu Cheng nodded weakly, and his eyes suddenly showed anger: Wu Gao, who was leading an army of 100,000, has been on the road for more than half a month!He was watching two hundred miles away from Guizhou City...

Wu Gao is also in his sixties, but Gu Cheng is indeed qualified to call him a boy.

Zhang Fu said coldly: The imperial court actually used Wu Gao, which was something I had not expected. I am afraid there were many dirty deals.

Gu Cheng did not answer, closed his eyes and sighed and moaned weakly.

Is General Gu’s family in Guizhou City?Zhang Fu asked again.

Gu Cheng opened his eyes and said: There are too many fence-bearing people inside and outside the court. I can only feel at ease if I hand over Guizhou City to Gu Yong and others.Gu Yong will never surrender!My whole family has been deeply grateful to the emperor and has already decided to serve the emperor, and it will be only after death!

I'm not saying Gu Yong surrendered.The city slope in Guizhou is here. How useful is General Gu Yong to surrender?Zhang Fu said calmly.

Gu Cheng said at a glance: Zhang Fu, what do you mean? If you make your words clear, why should you be insincere when a real man speaks! Don’t slap the “dirty business” on the left, and slap the “use of surrender” on the right! When I learned that the military rations were burned out, I was so angry that I vomited blood... Cough cough cough...

Zhang Fu said there with Gu Cheng, but he remained silent.

Gu Cheng continued to say in shame and anger: I am guilty, so I will write a letter to apologize. If you want to kill me, you will kill me and cut me off, you will decide!But he would never bow to the traitor for his own selfish interests, and it would not be the turn of General Zhang to throw dirty water on me!

The old marquis calmed down.Zhang Fu finally said, "Hello, you are in recuperation and say goodbye."

General Zhang stayed.Gu Cheng suddenly said.

Then he called out, asked his subordinates to take out the seal and stretch out his wrinkled hands. I am old and sometimes stupid. Now I am seriously ill and cannot get up, and I can no longer lead the Guizhou army brothers... I used to be unwilling to submit to my old age, but now I have to submit to the time.General Zhang asked General Zhang to accept the seal, take over the military power of the Guizhou Army, and be fully responsible for the military affairs of the Guizhou Army.

Zhang Fu was stunned for a moment, then reached out and picked it up, clasped his fists and said: It’s better to obey your order than respect, say goodbye!

He left Gu Cheng's headquarters and rode his horse back to the camp of the Jiaozhi army in the rain.Soon he summoned the generals above the guard commander of the two armies to come to the military camp to discuss matters.

After waiting for more than an hour, generals from all over the place finally arrived one after another.

Zhang Fu picked up Gu Cheng's seal and slapped the table with a bang, and the generals looked at each other.

Zhang Fudao: Zhenyuan Hou is sick and has handed over the military power of the Guizhou army to our general.

No one questioned it.After all, Gu Cheng is not dead yet, so you can confirm this by just sending someone to ask.

The night before yesterday, the rebel army's Ministry of Peace attacked the heavy grain area of ​​the Guizhou military camp and burned a large amount of military food.You should know this.Zhang Fu said coldly, then turned around and asked, Where is there any food storage nearby?

A strange general from the Guizhou Army said: Report to the British Duke, the chief general of the Kunming defender was Sheng Yong. Before the arrival of the official army, this person implemented a strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields. The rebels transported the military rations from all over the city, or if they could not be transported all of them, they would burn them on the spot!Now, in addition to the only remaining military rations in the army, there is also a granary in the Qujing Military and Civilian Mansion.But now the 200,000 army is consumed, so it may not last long; unless it is captured, there is food inside!

As soon as these words came out, the big tent immediately became noisy and the generals were talking.

Some people are worried that even if they break through Kunming City, they might burn Kunming's military rations with Sheng Yong's methods!

Some people believe that Guizhou's city is broken, and the main force of the rebels may march into Yunnan; although the official army has an army of 200,000, it may not be able to break through this city before the main force of the rebels arrives in Kunming City.

Zhang Fu finally couldn't help but speak: What's the point of marching towards Guangxi?

Everyone's discussion stopped again, and the atmosphere in the tent was very strange.

Zhang Fu remained silent and looked at the faces of the Guizhou Army general one by one.They seemed to be quietly observing Zhang Fu, thinking about Zhang Fu's true intentions.The tent became quieter.

The soldiers of the Guizhou army were not familiar with Zhang Fu. Although Zhang Fu had military power, he had just taken over and it was difficult to fully control this army.Even Zhang Fu had no idea about the names of most Guizhou military generals.

...Before this battle, Zhang Fu was worried, so he was calm.Now that he is watching the battle situation get worse, his loss is also inevitable.

However, as a commander general, he has already reached a certain field and has to face reality!

The main forces of the three official troops have not suffered much losses so far; but the situation in front of them is very unbearable!

Zhang Fujun was extremely short of food. Guizhou was not only short of food, but also might turn against him (all the soldiers and their families were in Guizhou).

Wu Gaojun was slacking off the opportunity to fight, and Zhang Fu didn't believe him at all.

In such an unfavorable situation in the battle, Zhang Fu believes that the wisest way is: not to fight.And waiting for new fighter jets to appear.

Otherwise, if the war with the rebels in Yunnan was started, Zhang Fu would have to foresee all kinds of worse outcomes: First, Wu Gao's army was unable to reach the battlefield for a long time.

Second, the morale of the Guizhou army is low and it is very easy to surrender.

Third, although the Shengyong Ping'an Army in Yunnan has few troops, it can still play a certain role.

Originally, Zhang Fu's army was at a disadvantage against the main force of the Han Wang Army alone; once the Guizhou army surrendered, Zhang Fu was not only at a disadvantage, but it was still difficult to determine whether the Guizhou army would attack him in reverse!

Leading troops must not ignore the danger!Zhang Fu even worried that he would not even retreat...

If the main force of the Han King's rebel army goes south along the important road between Guizhou and Guangxi, it is very likely that Guangxi will cut off the grain route to reinforce Zhang Fu and intercept Zhang Fu's army!

The important road in Guangxi, Guizhou extends from the southeast of Guizhou City. According to principles, the Wu Gao army can threaten the flanks of the rebels and prevent the rebels from moving south.

But is Wu Gao that reliable?

What is more serious is that if the Guizhou army soldiers are mobilized to abandon their families and children and go to Guangxi, will the Guizhou army mutiny?

But no matter what, Zhang Fu felt that he had to find a way to transfer the Guizhou army!

Otherwise, Guizhou will become the second Sichuan, and the entire Dushi Guard will rebel and become a soldier of the Han King's rebel army!

In the next battle, Zhang Fu will face a rebel with stronger troops!

At this time, Zhang Fu finally spoke: Our army is short of food and cannot last long in Yunnan. We have to go to Guangxi immediately to eat.After replenishing military rations, our 200,000 troops headed north along the important road, joined forces with the Wu Gao army to attack the rebels and recapture Guizhou!

Zhang Fujun's generals agreed one after another.Some of the generals of the Guizhou Army remained silent, and some questioned their strategies because the important road in Guangxi, Guizhou was full of mountains and was not conducive to the mobilization of the army.

The concerns of the Guizhou military generals are not without reason, but Zhang Fu would not admit it at all. He would first transfer the Guizhou military to avoid the enemy from rising and falling!

He said without saying a word and said decisively: The camp will start to be pulled tomorrow!Go to Guangxi immediately, and the general will contact the Marquis of Jiangyin to make an appointment with him to attack the rebels!

So the generals clasped their fists and said, "The last general is waiting for orders!"

Everyone left the central army tent one after another. Zhang Fu sent the generals outside the tent and looked at the misty rain in the sky.

And deep in the rain, the Kunming City, which is so close to you, seems out of reach.

He felt very sad.

He couldn't help but feel a little emotional in secret. Things in the world are really unpredictable and unpredictable.

At the beginning of the Han King's rebellion, Zhang Fu believed that the Han King had no chance at all and was too small.However, half a year has passed and the situation has been beyond recognition.

Marshal.A voice said.

Zhang Fu turned his head and saw that it was Huang Zhong. He said: You are from Guangxi. You should immediately find a few reliable brothers, go to Guangxi first, and then go north to Guizhou.Send letters to Guangxi Dusi and Wu Gao!

Huang Zhong bowed: I will do it immediately.
