Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1842

At this point in the battle, it is roughly equivalent to dribbling the ball into the penalty area, only missing the goal. Naturally, the morale of the Ming army is high. Strive for a higher ranking.

Deng Zilong and Dong Yiyuan led a rapid attack all the way, and successfully conquered the Green Snake Tun on April [-]th.General Yang Zhu of Bozhou led his troops to retreat, but he did not withdraw directly, but set up an ambush on the mountain road. Dong Yiyuan was eager to lead his troops in pursuit, and was immediately ambushed by Yang Zhu.

Because the Bozhou Army is fighting on the inside, its strength is relatively concentrated. Therefore, Yang Zhu's strength is quite strong, more than twice that of Dong Yiyuan's troops.It is precisely because of this that Yang Zhu dared to lead his troops to encircle Dong Yiyuan, intending to forcibly eat Dong's troops, and the two armies immediately started a scuffle.

Yang Zhu is the number one general in Bozhou and Yang Yinglong's right-hand man.This man is tall and strong, with amazing arm strength, and his ability to slash with a knife is unstoppable. Recently, he often said that he would fight Liu Ting, and boasted that if he went to Haikou, he would definitely be able to take Liu Ting's head.

Since Dong Yiyuan's troops were suddenly ambushed during the pursuit, the formation was naturally a little scattered, and the battle situation was unfavorable.

This Dong Yiyuan was born in the avant-garde general of the Xuanfu. His father, Dong Yang, was a general in Datong, and died in a fierce battle when resisting Alta, so Dong Yiyuan is definitely a loyal descendant.

He himself is also a veteran of Nine Borders. In Jiajing 43, he was promoted to Shimenzhai for his meritorious service in fighting against Mongolia; in the first year of Longqing, he defeated the enemy again and was promoted to deputy commander in chief. During the turmoil, he was temporarily employed, and he was reinstated as a guilty and meritorious officer; in the 19th year of Wanli, he was changed to be the commander-in-chief of Yansui;

The establishment of the Lintao Commander-in-Chief was just an adjustment after the victory of the Yuan Dynasty, in order to strengthen the defense of the northwest border. Dong Yiyuan was able to serve as the first Lintao Commander-in-Chief. Two brushes.

Although the battle situation was unfavorable at this time, Dong Yiyuan remained calm in the face of danger, and personally led the Shaanxi-Gansu cavalry to clear the way, breaking through and opening the gap.The Ming army retreated while fighting, and retreated about two miles in an orderly manner. After reorganizing their formation, they were able to attack again.

From then on, the two armies fought again, but Dong Yiyuan's troops were at a considerable disadvantage, and the Shaanxi-Gansu cavalry could only be used briefly when they broke through the encirclement in the mountains, and they were not of much use in normal times, so the battle situation fell into a stalemate. no one.

Fortunately, Deng Zilong's army was about to arrive at this time. Dong Yiyuan immediately ordered his troops to retreat to join Deng Zilong when he learned about it. Yang Zhu also knew that Deng Zilong's troops were coming soon, so he ordered a full-on pursuit in one go.

This time Yang Zhu made a big mistake. Although Deng Zilong was the commander-in-chief of Fujian at the time, his direct line troops were all Guangdong soldiers who accompanied him all the way after starting a family. High degree.

Deng Zilong is 67 years old this year, the so-called old man does not rely on his muscles and bones, he did not intend to fight with Yang Zhu in front of the battle, but ordered the artillery to attack the enemy very unscrupulous in martial arts.

Yang Zhu didn't expect Deng Zilong's artillery to have so many artillery pieces, and he also didn't expect his artillery positions to be set up so quickly, and he was bombarded as soon as he caught up.

Yang Zhu was under the intensive care of the gunners of the Ming army because of the dense forces around him, and was seriously injured by the artillery shells on the spot.In the end, Yang Zhu didn't make it through, because his injuries were too serious and he died on the way to escort him. The fact that he always wanted to fight Liu Ting was nothing more than that.

On the [-]th, another group of Anjiang ministers captured Mengguan, killed them in Dashuitian, and burned Taoxizhuang. It was no more than three days away from Longyantun.Seeing that the situation was critical, Yang Yinglong urgently ordered the whole army to gather at Longyantun and hold on.

Sun Shitai, the military adviser, offered advice: "Our army has not yet fully rushed back to Longyantun to meet up, and the officers and soldiers are in a hurry to pursue them. I foolishly thought that we could resort to trickery to surrender and delay the officers and troops' pursuit.

Of course, the feigned surrender this time must be very different from the previous ones. Women, old and young, in Bozhou can be ordered to submit letters of surrender between various roads, so that the suspicion of the officers and soldiers can be dispelled.The surrender and resettlement of the officers and soldiers along the way will greatly slow down the marching speed, and the surrender broadcasters can also wait for the opportunity to pass the news of the officers and soldiers to Longyantun. "

Yang Yinglong now looks like everyone will betray him, and he can't help but be suspicious: "Now that Bozhou is in chaos, Mr. Sun can still have this supernatural power to instruct Bomin to surrender?"

Sun Shitai did not rush, and replied calmly: "Patriarch, you are usually busy with official duties and in charge of military affairs. This civil contact has its own method, and the Patriarch does not need to worry. However, in order to really dispel the doubts of the officers and soldiers, we still It needs to be surrendered by relatives and nobles of Bozhou.

Now for the officers and soldiers, Bozhou is in a state of collapse and is at stake. At this time, it is reasonable for Bozhou's relatives and nobles to come and surrender one after another. I want to ask Tian's false surrender. At this time, this false surrender strategy is far better than Ma Zhongxian's timing. The timing was more opportune. "

Yang Yinglong's eyes lit up, and he praised: "Mr. Sun is worthy of being the brains of my Yang family. This strategy is deeply in my heart. Now our top priority is to gather troops in Longyan as soon as possible. As long as Longyan can be saved, Bozhou can be saved. The Yang family in Bozhou can also be protected. It is not too late, and I ask Mr. Sun to start arranging the matter immediately." Sun Shitai bowed his hands and accepted the order.

So not long after, the Ming army from all walks of life continued to receive letters of surrender from the people during the march. At the same time, they also asked for resettlement, and the generals of the Ming army reported to Song Liangzuo, the army leader.

At this time, Governor Tan Xisi of Pianyuan and Governor Guo Zizhang of Guizhou both went to Chongqing and were discussing matters with Song Liangzuo. Both governors agreed with the surrender.

Tan Xisi said: "After Bozhou is pacified, Bozhou will inevitably change from chieftain autonomy to direct administration of officials, then the people of Bozhou are also the people of the emperor. Since we lead the soldiers of the emperor to conquer the dissidents, we will always publicize the virtue of the emperor and make the people of Bozhou more powerful. The people of Bozhou surrender with peace of mind, so that they can live up to the emperor, the court, and the common people."

Guo Zizhang also agreed: "Tan Fujun's words are very true, the Bo thieves are treacherous, and the stubborn are all Bozhou Yang and his party, but they have nothing to do with the people of Bozhou.

Now that the Yang family is about to be destroyed, the bandit army has been completely defeated, Bozhou is about to fall, and the Bomin, Tusi and some of their followers who have been oppressed by the Yang family for a long time have taken the opportunity to break away from the control of the Yang family.Controlling the army is an act that conforms to the will of the people, and is also conducive to the smooth implementation of the Bozhou reform and land return in the future. "

Song Liangzuo pondered and said: "I admire the loyalty of the two kings and the love of the people. It's just that the emperor has made a decree, and the bandits are used to feigning surrender, so they should not be trusted. If they are asked to surrender, they will be beheaded and burn books until Yang Ni is captured. ——For this holy decree, the two of you can take a look."

He motioned to his staff to present the imperial decree, and the two governors respectfully received and watched, while Song Liangzuo continued: "The sacred meaning is far-reaching, and we know the key to it. Of course, we have been taught by sages since we were young, so we must not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Slaughter and broadcast thieves and common people.

Therefore, I think that all the people who ask to surrender can be detained first, while the army will still go all out to conquer Longyan Tun, and then make a fuss after capturing Yang Ni.Now the armies from all walks of life are about to join forces in Longyantun, and the main hall will also rush there immediately, so I ask the two of you to immediately spread the discussion just now to all walks of life, so that all the troops will strictly implement it. "

Since there was an imperial edict requesting in advance, the two governors naturally did not dare to object, so they followed Song Liangzuo's order.After receiving the strict order, the Ming armies from all walks of life also took into custody the people who asked to surrender, burned the documents of surrender, and devoted all their efforts to join forces in Longyan.

But it is said that Wu Guangna conquered Yamen pass and camped buffalo pond all the way, and fought with Miao troops along the way for three days, winning consecutive battles. On this day, he happened to meet a Bomin woman who presented a letter asking for surrender.Wu Guang only wanted to fight Longyan Tun as soon as possible, and he was bored seeing this, so he casually ordered all of them to be escorted to the rear and wait for orders.

However, the woman resisted desperately, cried bitterly, begged again on the ground, and said to Wu Guang: "Please surrender Tian! Please surrender, General! Please listen to me, General! Tian and Yang are related by marriage, and they have done a lot of evil in Bozhou. The officers and soldiers set up many poisonous schemes, hoping to take the crime and make meritorious service! May they take the crime and make meritorious service!

General, General!Tian's ability to kill Yang Yinglong with poison within three days is a tribute to the general!It only takes three days, only three days to poison Yang Yinglong, cut off his head and present it to the general, the general will make a great contribution!Just ask the general to wait for the good news! "

Wu Guangda was surprised, stopped in his tracks, looked at her suspiciously, and asked, "Who are you? How can I believe that Tian is not deceiving this general? Hmph, as far as I know, Tian He once sent four messengers to feign surrender, but fortunately he was seen through. How dare he repeat the old trick in front of this general today?

What's more, what kind of ability does the Tian family dare to speak boldly and poisonously kill Yang Yinglong?You answer immediately, if you can't answer, don't blame it, you will be killed on the spot! "

The woman replied: "I am a member of the Tian clan, and I was ordered to deliver a message. The Tian clan was the prime minister for many years before the affairs of Zhumiao in Bozhou, so he was able to secretly control the secret art of Gu poison. Yang Yinglong didn't care at first, but recently he suddenly became deeply interested in Tian clan. Out of fear, it seems that the Tian family will be unfavorable to the Yang family in the future, and even rob Bozhou, so they plan to get rid of the Tian family to avoid future troubles.

It's just that at the time of crisis, Yang Yinglong still needs to use the Tian family to fight against the government army, so he forbears it for the time being.Tian clan does not want to help the tyrant again, and there is only one chance to secretly poison Yang Yinglong. Before Yang Yinglong is completely on guard against Tian clan, as long as he strikes early, with the help of Miaojiang witchcraft, killing people invisible, Yang Yinglong's head is at his fingertips!

General, Tian promises that as long as he succeeds, Tian will send a secret message to the general first, and then secretly dedicate Yang Yinglong's head to the general to help the general rise to the top. Tian also has no extravagant wishes, but only hopes that he will not be counted as a traitor That's it. "

"Oh, is that so?" Wu Guang asked again: "Then why did you choose to ask me to surrender instead of looking for other generals?" Obviously he still suspected that the Tian family had other plans.

The woman smiled helplessly, and replied: "General, why do you have to break the casserole and ask the end? In fact, no matter who you ask for surrender, it makes no difference to the Tian family. Bing, one is already the pinnacle of military generals and officials in the imperial court. Since this is the case, the Tian clan will always ask for surrender no matter who he meets first, please forgive me for this point."

After the woman finished speaking, she kowtowed repeatedly.Although what she said was straightforward and even a little unkind, Wu Guang believed it instead.

According to his own understanding, if the Tian family asks to surrender, the best way is of course to ask Song Zhijun to surrender, or else it is Guo Fujun and Tan Fujun.

The three major frontiers cannot be found, and Wu Guang should not be the one who followed him. After all, although the army is divided into eight groups, but the admiral of the eight-way army is Liu Jing and Liu Zongrong. Tian's next choice should be to find Liu. Please come down.It was because of this that Wu Guang had always been skeptical.

But Mrs. Tian's frank answer at the end made a great contribution. It made Wu Guang think that Bozhou is now in such a situation that it may fall at any time.

Then since the Eighth Route Army that came was almost always led by the commander-in-chief, who is it not to ask for surrender?How much difference can it make?After all, the Tusi savages, it's not surprising that they don't know the status of the court and the army.

Wu Guang was relieved, and then released him, and then ordered his troops to stand still and set up camp on the spot, waiting for variables to appear.

One day later, news came from Longyantun that Yang Yinglong was wounded by artillery from the Ming army. During Longyantun's treatment, because the Tian family had secretly injected a voodoo, Yinglong was poisoned and would die.

Wu Guang was overjoyed when he heard this, and laughed to his confidantes: "In this way, I can win the head of the bandit chief without any effort. Haha, this is the first time that this town has such a happy event since I joined the army. Really unexpected.

Speaking of which, it was thanks to Yang Yinglong that he was not killed on the spot, otherwise how could it be Tian's turn to secretly cast a Gu?However, it doesn't matter even if you are killed by the bomb, the head will still be sent to me after all.

Hiss... But the problem now has changed a bit. About how I got Yinglong's head, I have to prepare my speech in advance.In addition, in order to be safe, it is necessary to send someone to verify what is said in the letter. "So Wu Guang later sent someone to check whether Yang Yinglong was really injured by the artillery.

It doesn't matter if this investigation happened, Wu Guang got the report that Yang Yinglong is still alive these days, he is alive and kicking in command of Long Yantun's defense, moreover Liu Ting, Ma Lin and other Ming army generals also witnessed it with their own eyes.

As for the people who were said to be injured by the artillery of the Ming army and died, there were some, but it was Yang Zhu, a fierce general under Yang Yinglong's command, not Yang Yinglong himself at all.

Wu Guang was furious: "It turned out to be a plan to delay the troops! Yang Yinglong sent the Tian family to feign surrender, just to delay the time so that the rebels could retreat to Longyan Tun soon! I... really feel ashamed, the army is strictly ordered not to believe its words, but I was blinded by profit, and I got Tian Clan's plan to feign surrender! This town must kill the whole family of the Yang and Tian families, and let them lose their children and grandchildren!"

Wu Guang was so ashamed and indignant that he wrote a letter of guilt and carried it with him, hoping to take the opportunity to confess his sins to Song Liangzuo in person.Afterwards, Wu Guang ordered the whole army to advance, rushed all the way to the vicinity of Longyantun, prepared his troops, and bravely assisted Liu Chen, burned two passes, and captured three mountains. Intent to fight, he took the road and fled, and Wu Guang was able to cut off the water source of Chaiqiao of the Bozhou Army.

After doing all these things to make up for the past, Wu Guang immediately joined the various groups, and also waited for the arrival of Song Liangzuo with the generals of the tribes, preparing to attack Longyan Tun and fight the last battle for the pacification of the Bozhou Rebellion.
