Chapter 119 Sui Shui

Within a few days, King Yàn really captured Peixian County and immediately led his army south to Xuzhou City.

At that time, the Xuzhou official army failed to fight with the vanguard Zhu Gaoxu's troops and had already closed the city to defend the death.

So the Northern Army surrounded Xuzhou and built the siege fortifications.

Two days after the cannon shock, the Northern Army did not use infantry to attack the city, but used cavalry to raise food. As expected, as Zhu Gaoxu expected... The army of more than 200,000 would not want to drive south without military rations!

One day, Zhu Gaoxu led his personal soldiers to the Fourth Field Army to inspect, but saw a scene of busy farming.

In the rice fields that had not had time to harvest, many civilians were busy, and there were scattered cavalrymen holding bows and arrows on the ridges were wandering and supervising.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but watch it, and was also surprised... For six hundred years, the method of harvesting rice is similar to the scenes of later generations.

He did these jobs when he was a child, but now when he watches it, he only feels very familiar.

In the rice field, five people took turns to work, and the two of them cut down the rice and piled it on the rice pile.

The other two stood next to a wooden mixing bucket, surrounded the three sides of the bucket with bamboo mats, placed wooden boards in the bucket, then picked up the cut rice and hit the wooden boards, tossing and turning the millet into the wooden bucket.

The remaining person bales the straw and drys it on the ridge of the field.At this time, not all houses are tiled houses, and some thatched houses require straw to be replaced every year, and can also be used as firewood.

Zhu Gaoxu simply got off the horse's back and sat down on the ridge with great interest.The personal cavalry around them did not dismount. They still held their weapons tightly and paid attention to the movements in the fourth field.

A strange sense of tranquility surged into my heart. Zhu Gaoxu seemed to have returned to the distant depths of memory. Those happy companions were still around, and the familiar voice, appearance, smile and appearance were still in front of me.

And what kind of micro loans, what kind of comparison..., spies, conspiracies, and struggles have become illusory.

What is the prince doing here? Wang Bin's voice interrupted Zhu Gaoxu's contemplation.

Zhu Gaoxu casually pointed his finger at the field and said: Grandpa Huangzu is a farmer, so we cannot forget who we are.

Wang Bin smiled strangely and whispered: Our people are robbing the people’s food!

Zhu Gaoxu said a word, and thought for a while and said: When my father’s Jing was successful, I wrote a letter to exempt the taxes of the prefectures and counties in Xuzhou for several years.

……

The river water is vast above the river in the south.

Xu Huizu pressed his sword with his left hand and stood on the deck of the Luge. The bloody red cloak on his back was like a big flag, blown by the river wind and floated in the air.

His burly and majestic body did not move at all, and his stubborn appearance was very majestic.

The soldiers quietly talked about him behind him, saying that his father was worthy of being the god who entered the City God Temple.

The wheels of the waterwheel on both sides of the warship were rotating rapidly, rolling up several white waves, and the ship broke through the wind and waves, heading straight to the north.

Xu Huizu looked at countless warships in the distance, with the ingenious Beijing soldiers on it clearly dressed in armor, with swords and guns, and a very majestic military appearance!

Xu Huizu was full of confidence at this time, and only felt that this last elite soldier of the Ming Dynasty would be like a dragon entering the sea and a tiger going up the mountain in his hands!

Damn it!Xu Huizu looked at the river and laughed and scolded with a full breath. It’s time for me to teach those rebels a lesson!

The general behind him hurriedly praised: When Duke of Wei arrives, King Yàn will definitely be frightened.

Xu Huizu snorted and said: I have to meet that nephew for a while!

What the Duke of Wei said was King Gaoyang?the general asked.

Xu Huizu nodded and said: My nephew has become a climate. Not long ago, his four thousand cavalry forced the Xuzhou army into the city!If I don’t wear armor on the battlefield, I have to watch these juniors galloping.

The general pondered: The last general heard that the governor of Xuzhou had not suffered any great losses.

Xu Huizu sneered and turned around and said: Only those scholars in the court believe it!The Xuzhou official army has tens of thousands of troops, and the local bravery has not less than 100,000. He was scared into the city by thousands of people. Isn’t it a loss?

Since his guard had not rescued Pei County, he should have delayed the rebellion for at least one month, rather than retreating into the city after one day.

I guess the Xuzhou garrison thought so too, but he was discouraged and protected himself after suffering losses.

The guards first set up ambush outside the city, and then hid cavalry in the south, forming formations with infantry backs to lure Gao Xu to attack.To attack Gao Xu's forward, he would first slash the spirit of the division.

The Xuzhou garrison had nothing wrong with his idea and the arrangement was very regular; but he was wrong not to know that the forward of the Yàn division was Gao Xu!Unexpectedly, Gao Xu first saw through his ambush, almost destroyed all the ambush, and broke through the official army formation.Instead, the government army lost its morale and had to surrender the city.

The general then exclaimed: I didn’t expect that there were so many tricks in the battle between King Gaoyang.

Xu Huizu's eyes were bright and excited, and he said: This battle is very exquisite!I have repeatedly pondered the process.Gao Xu is not only brave, but also very good at capturing fighter jets. He masters the timing accurately and is not even different!

He first divided his troops to attack the ambush of the officials and recruited reinforcements to rescue them; when the officials and reinforcements moved, they were halfway, and they attacked the formation sideways.

At this time, the blocking delayed the reinforcements of the government, causing the ambush to survive and flee.

Then Gao Xu returned to his army and attacked the ambush and annihilated the ambush!

I always say that Wang Shan is striking back, but now looking at it, his son Gao Xu is more flexible and exquisite in using cavalry.

Xu Huizu clenched his fists and said: This is my opponent!Wouldn't it be boring if you use a ox knife to kill those unknown people?

Xu Huizu was very excited at this time. He finally got the opportunity to go to war and just waited for a big fight. The stronger the opponent, the happier he was.

Xu Huizu raised his head and sighed: Back then, my father defeated the Yuan Tatars with tens of thousands of cavalry, and he really swallowed up all the mountains and rivers!How could I insult my father’s reputation?

His appearance seemed to want to swallow up more than 200,000 people in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xu Huizu crossed the river, he had not yet stood firm after getting off the boat, a small boat came over.A scholar wearing a cloth robe walked down from above and walked up to him and said with his ears: Huang Zicheng has returned to Beijing.

Xu Huizu's thick eyebrows trembled, and his proud expression disappeared. After a while, he calmed down and said: I'm fighting my war, no matter how he is!

...That night, Xu Huizu set up a camp in Jiangbei, so he checked the Tang newspaper overnight and became familiar with the military situation based on the map.

Xu Huizu believed that since Xuzhou was closed and the city was defending to the death, and there were officials from north to south approaching, the Yàn division would never forcefully attack Xuzhou City.The king of Yàn besieged the city, with only one purpose: to raise grain!

The real war is definitely not done in Xuzhou.If King Yàn let the division be attacked by inside and outside the city of Xuzhou, he would not be King Yàn and would not be able to fight to Xuzhou!

Xu Huizu knocked his finger heavily on the Sui River location on the map, and dong dong two times.

The Ping'an Ministry came from the north, and Xu Huizu and He Fu joined forces from the south to Sui River. The two armies attacked the Yi'n's rebels on the Sui River. This would be a battle that would make the Yi'n's rebels move forward and retreat.

As for the defense, it is not Xu Huizu's style. He just wants to use the elite troops of the Beijing camp to cooperate with Ping An and other people to directly defeat the Yàn Division!

Xu Huizu pondered and planned it carefully, and then he remembered... he was not the head coach of this battle!Just the general officer of Jiang Beijing Camp.

The next day, it was just dawn when the trumpet was blown in the military camp.Xu Huizu was writing quickly. He wrote two letters in a row, wrote down his ideas in detail, and then sealed them.

When the personal army came, Xu Huizu said: Two letters, one will be given to Sheng Yong immediately; the other will be given to Qi Tai.

The two of them received the letters separately, held their fists and saluted: "You little one will receive the order!"

When Xu Huizu saw the messenger come out of the bill, he once again showed a smile of determination on his face.

Sheng Yong was the General Ping Yàn, and his military power was extremely powerful on the front line.

Xu Huizu and Sheng Yong have always had a good relationship, and this is not the point. The key is that he believes very much in Sheng Yong's judging the situation in the battle.

Sheng Yong would not reject this strategy.

There is also the former Minister of War Qi Tai, who Sheng Yong did not have much contact with him.

But two months ago, Qi Tai planned to attack from top to bottom and long-term offensive and defensive strategies, which made Xu Huizu look at him with admiration... This is not very clever, but there is no problem. That is because Qi Tai has a full understanding of the movements of the teacher.

In this way, Qi Tai is not very similar to other civil officials.

Xu Huizu rarely identified with a civil servant in the current court, and thought that his strategy of Sui Shui was consistent with Qi Tai's general strategy, so Qi Tai should not object.

Although Qi Tai had resigned as the Minister of War at this time, he was still a very trusted and important minister in front of the emperor.

Xu Huizu walked out of the tent, and the fatigue on his face was immediately dissipated by the magnificent military camp scene, and he was energetic again.

The vigorous horn is the most beautiful rhythm in Xu Huizu's ears.In the hazy morning, the agile figure of the soldiers was imprinted in the sky, which was the most moving painting.

Titicaca... The footsteps of the infantry are inspiring.Xu Huizu narrowed his eyes and admired the neat queue.The cavalry in the distance gathered and ran, and the rumbling sound of horse hooves was full of power.

Xu Huizu took the reins from his personal soldiers. He was taller and taller than everyone around him, but he was very flexible and could easily turn over the horse.

A group of horse soldiers followed him to rush out of the headquarters and patrolled the vast military camp.

He looked up at the military flag with the word Ming in the people, and traced back to the flag that once swept across Jiuzhou... Someone asked Xu Huizu why he destroyed his relatives for justice and why he was loyal to the court. He couldn't explain it, but it was hard to describe it!

Xu Huizu rode his horse and rushed through a large infantry and cavalry formation, shouting: The Ming army will never be destroyed, and the Ming army will win!

There were shouts from all sides, I will win!Will win... The shouts shake the world, one after another, and the formation is very grand.

The Beijing official army drove north, with strong and fat soldiers and horses, and very well-equipped armor and weapons, carrying countless new firearms.There was also the eldest son of the City God God, Xu Huizu, who was the commander, and his morale was very strong for a while.

...At that time, the Ping'an Army was heading south from Jining; He Fu's army headed north from near the Huai River, and Xu Huizu also arrived quickly.The Yàn Division has become a siege of upper and lower levels in Xuzhou, and the war is getting closer and closer.
