The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 394
A little below Wushan Gorge, you still have the title of Baidi City.

The air is sinking, the whole Pu is dark, and the wheel is flat and half of the building is bright.

Diao Dou reminds the dawn, and the toad is self-indulgent.

Zhang Gong relied on his remnant soul, not alone in the camp of the Han family.

——"Two Poems of Night and Moon on August [-]th" by Du Fu

……

One day, Wei Zhi hurried into the tent of the Chinese army, very excited, and said, "Ji Guangchen has agreed to surrender!" Gao Shi and Lai Zhen were overjoyed when they heard that.

Although the right army led by Ji Guangchen was not as numerous as Yongwang's middle army, but with the Huben army as the team, all the generals were extremely brave, and they were the elite of the rebel army.Once Ji Guangchen returns, the suppression of the rebellion is just around the corner.

Wei Zhi said: "The spies report that General Ji hopes that our side will be recruited tonight. At three o'clock, with fire as a signal, I will personally lead the Tang army into the camp of the Right Route Army to receive the troops."

Bai Fu asked Wei Zhi for details about the negotiations, and shook his head after listening, "Ji Guangchen is a false surrender."

Wei Zhi was a little worried, and said, "Why did Young Master Bai come to this conclusion?"

Bai Fu said: "The rebel army has no defeat so far, and Ji Guangchen has a large army in his hand, so he has a bargaining chip. But he didn't ask for officials, and he didn't ask for money. He agreed at the first contact, which is obviously unreasonable."

Wei Zhi was dazzled by joy just now, and after thinking about it, this is indeed the truth.Wei Zhi asked, "Young Xia Bai, what should we do next?"

Bai Fu thought for a while, and said: "Negotiate with them first, and postpone the matter of recruiting the Right Route Army for a few days, and say that we are waiting for His Majesty's official order.

I know Ji Guangchen relatively well. He is an official fan and is obsessed with official career.Wenzhi will definitely agree and feel our sincerity.

Lord Wei should request His Majesty as soon as possible to ask for a pardon for the rebel general Ji Guangchen and others.If he can take the initiative to surrender, he will forget the past, and promise to be a high-ranking official and generous salary.

If there is no order from His Majesty, we will recruit rebel generals without proof.

If Ji Guangchen and others surrender, the official titles ratified by His Majesty will not match what we promised.Not only will the Holy Majesty blame us for being reckless and arrogating power, but Ji Guangchen and others will be dissatisfied and plant the hidden danger of rebellion.

Counter-insurgency measures are of great importance and should not be hasty or hasty.We must not only talk about military affairs, but also understand the emperor's heart. "

When Bai Fu was studying the art of war with General Wang Zhongsi, he was deeply impressed by the saying, "The general is out, and the king's order is not acceptable."Conspiracy to attack the layout, and everyone should take it as a warning.

Wei Zhi, Gao Shi and Lai Zhen broke out in a cold sweat when they heard the words.

The confrontation between the two armies changed rapidly, and the three Jiedu envoys all focused on King Yong, ignoring the feelings of Suzong who was far away in Lingwu.

If a certain censor takes the opportunity to read a book, the merits and demerits will be offset.In case Ji Guangchen and the others rebelled again after being recruited, they might be killed.

"At such a young age, Bai Fu is far more thoughtful than everyone else!"

Wei Zhi came from a wealthy family, and he was well versed in the art of court, so he knew the crux of it as soon as he heard it.Can't help but secretly pick a thumbs up in my heart.

Facing the compliments from the three people, Bai Fu's face remained normal, and he continued: "The three lords, please make an order to order the coalition forces of the Minjiang Gang and Changjiang Gang to go to battle immediately, and attack the naval forces led by Hun Weiming head-on."

The three Jiedu envoys were quite surprised, and came to Xun said: "Young Xia Bai, didn't you say a few days ago that you want to avoid his edge and surrender without fighting? Why do you want to ask for a fight again?"

Bai Fu said with a smile: "These few generals of the rebel army have been negotiating with Mr. Wei for the song in the past two days. They are all thinking about how to maximize their own interests. They obviously think that we are not strong enough and dare not go to war. Can only appease the surrender.

The general's contempt is gradually rising, and the soldiers must be negligent in guarding against it.This is our best fighter! "

Wei Zhi frowned, and said, "Will the other party question our sincerity if we rashly launch an attack while plotting rebellion?"

Bai Fu smiled and said: "As I said before, the rebels have never been defeated, and they must be on both sides of the snake and mouse, hesitating. Our battle is to help them make up their minds, to promote talks with war, and to surrender with war. They can't help it. Do not surrender!"

Bai Fu's strategy is derived from the countermeasure between General Li Jing and Emperor Taizong: "The most wonderful art of war is to attack people without harming others!"

……

The situation of the rebel army was just as Bai Fu expected, and Hun Weiming was very moved by the generous salary promised to him by the Li Tang court.Following Yongwang Li Lin's rebellion was nothing more than getting promoted and making a fortune, and blessing his descendants.Today, as long as he submits to the imperial court, all these things are within his reach. Is it worthwhile to work for King Yong?

The key is what price will the court offer? !
This evening, Hun Weiming hosted a banquet in honor of his confidants.After drinking for three rounds, the generals said: "General, the Jianghuai navy is in charge of me. If the emperor wants to recruit us, he must make you a military envoy.

Otherwise, we will block the waterways, rely on the natural danger of the Yangtze River, separate the Jiangdong, and crack the soil to seal the king! "

All the generals cheered joyfully, Hun Weiming made a few bowls together, suddenly filled with arrogance, and shouted: "Yes! Crack the earth and make the king! You must be the king!"

Before the words were finished, the small school rushed to report: "General, it's not good, the Tang army and navy are attacking!"

Hun Weiming was shocked, hurriedly put on his clothes and went straight to the handsome boat.

The gate of the Shuizhai camp was opened, and Hun Weiming personally led a dozen giant warships to meet the Tang army.

The rebel warships are majestic in shape, fast and agile, and extremely useful in water warfare. They are the main ships of the Jianghuai Navy.The entire cabin and ship boards are covered by rawhide, which can be used for fire prevention.Several oar holes are opened on both sides to insert oars for oarsmen to row.

There are three layers of cabins above the deck, which are also wrapped in raw cowhide to prevent enemy fire.There are crossbow windows and spear holes on all sides of each cabin, which can attack enemies from all directions.

The bow of the ship is covered with hard armor, which is used to ram the ship and cut off the enemy ship in half.

The night was dark and the wind was high, and the ships of the Tang army were indistinct.The generals of the rebel army took a closer look and saw that there were many Tang army ships, but they were all small and medium-sized civilian ships, which were acceptable for transportation, but for water warfare, they were looking for death!
Hun Weiming laughed loudly and said: "Attack at full speed and crush this group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals!"

The sculls rowed their big oars, and the rebels rushed upstream like lions and tigers plunging into a flock of sheep, roaring away.

The Tang military and civilian boats fled in all directions, and countless boatmen jumped into the river, abandoned their boats and fled.The warship ran over and smashed these civilian ships to pieces.The broken nets of many wrecked boats were hung on the sides of the boats, and with a clang, the floating objects on the river were caught in the broken fishing nets.

Hun Weiming was high-spirited and commanded the navy to encircle and suppress the Tang army, not wanting to let a single ship go.

In front of the flagship of Hun Weiming, there is a flat boat beyond the range of the crossbow arrows.

The boss of the boat is very skillful in handling the boat.The small boat is like a koi, jumping across the river, no matter how fast Hun Weiming is, it can never catch up with the small boat.The flat boat never left, as if it was provoking the huge warship of the rebel army.

Hun Weiming was furious and ordered to advance at full speed to chase and kill the boat.

After traveling for several miles, we came to a Crescent Bay tidal flat with narrow river channels and jagged rocks along the river bank.The leaf boat passed by in a flash.

In the distance is a fjord with steep mountains. The mighty river is blocked by cliffs, roaring like thunder, and turbulent waves crashing on the shore.Several huge black reefs in the river, lined with swords and halberds, collided with the pouring river water, stirring up raging waves.

Seeing Feng Ting, Hun Weiming's subordinate hurriedly reminded: "General, there is a ghost ahead, don't fall for the enemy's plan!"

Hun Weiming sneered, and said: "Just trying to lure this general into taking the bait? I don't want to chase after him! Turn around!" After finishing speaking, Hun Weiming frowned, and said: "The river here is narrow, will it run aground?"

General Feng Ting hurriedly replied: "General, I am very familiar with the waterways here, and the water is deep enough for our ships."

Hun Weiming nodded, and said, "Here's an order, the army should turn around!"

More than a dozen giant warships lined up in Crescent Bay and turned their bows one by one.

The flagship under Hun Weiming's seat had just turned a corner and was about to go down the river when he heard a loud "click", the warplane suddenly shook violently, and then got stuck on the river bed, unable to move.

"Not good!" Hun Weiming was surprised.

I saw a small school running from the deck to the upstairs ship, and said back: "General, it's not good, it's stranded!"

Hun Weiming glared at General Feng Ting angrily, and said, "Bastard, didn't you say that the water is deep enough?"

General Feng Ting was also dumbfounded, and tremblingly said: "Yes, the water here is usually deep enough? Could it be that the Tang army deployed traps under the water?"
