I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 129 Emergency

Outside Gaoyou City, gangsters, or rebels, were surrounding the city wall. The leaders kept urging their subordinates to use the bamboo ladders they had just built to climb the city wall.

Gaoyou is regarded as an important town in the north of the Yangtze River, the northern gateway of Yangzhou, and it is located near the canal, so the location is dangerous, and the city wall is five feet high.

Therefore, the tens of thousands of rebels under the city have nothing to do with the Gaoyou city wall.I can only bite the bullet and stare at Yashishi to climb the city wall.

The people in the city also had nothing to do. The Youyuhou Department of the Qingzheng Army originally stationed in Gaoyou, but almost all the generals and schools were wiped out by the governor Fu Jinchuan.

After all, the military envoy Bi Sili had conclusive evidence of collusion with the King of Wu, who would dare to use his cronies?
Before Fu Jinchuan left, he appointed Wei Shilang, the captain of the Yabing school, as the Marquis of Youyu, but it was impossible for this Yuhou army to go out of the city to fight before it was reorganized.

It is barely enough to defend the city. If it is to go out to fight, neither the county magistrate Zhang Huaigu nor the newly appointed Youyu Hou Wei Shilang are sure.

So it can only ask for help from Yangzhou.

Metropolitan Governor Fu Jinchuan personally led six hundred dental soldiers and an infantry army of the Guangrui Army to rescue Gaoyou.

The distance between Yangzhou and Gaoyou is only [-] li, and it takes [-] paces to arrive in a day.

Then he ordered to rest for an hour, eat some dry food, and prepare for battle.

"Ding Dalang."

When Ding Feng heard someone calling him, he immediately shouted habitually: "Yes."

"When you charge in a while, just follow my flank,"

"promise."

He is the eldest son of Ding Fengshan, a nobleman in Shangjing. He is sixteen years old and over seven feet tall.

Now that he is the entourage of Marquis Wu'an, it was because he, Aye, personally begged the Marquis, and asked Pang Yun, one of the entourage leaders, to test his roots, and then accepted him as a samurai servant.

As for Pang Yun who called him, he was also a little worried in the face of a group of raw melon eggs who had never been in battle, but he felt relieved when he looked at the thieves on the opposite side.

The mob is nothing to worry about.

Now in Yuan Congli, Marquis of Wu'an, there are only seven old guards left, and the rest of the old people have entered the army as generals.

So now there are 43 yuan from [-] to [-] are newly added.

Among them, there are more than a dozen descendants of the wealthy families in Shangjing, including Ding Feng, and there are also a few people from the rivers and lakes who have invested in the Houfu because of their reputation. They all have some means. , these people's riding and shooting skills are the most outstanding.

And there are often some conflicts between the children of the big tycoons in the capital and the hereditary trilogy.

They belong to the state of looking down on each other, and they often have to go to the martial arts arena to fight.This is also Yuan Congli's rule.

Lord Hou does not prohibit this matter, but if you want to fight, you can't fight in private. If there is any grievance, or anyone who doesn't like it will be dragged to the school grounds to fight.

In the words of Lord Hou, if we all eat in the same pot, how can there be a spoon that does not touch the bowl?But since they share the same meal, if there is anything they can't solve, they will fight.Facing gongs and drums, they are all practicing martial arts, and playing tricks with their own people is looked down upon.

Whoever leads what kind of soldiers, so they can stay under Fu Jinchuan for a period of time, and they will naturally be infected by that kind of pride.

Qi Xiaowu, who was born in a hereditary trilogy, looked at Jiang Silang beside him, and Ding Feng, who always had trouble with him.There seems to be no difference, both are a little trembling.

But everyone looked at Fu Jinchuan who was standing in the front, and his trembling hands gradually calmed down.

The sound of the horn sounded, and the banners were unfurled. Marquis Wu An, the governor wearing a brocade war robe, took the lead, followed by seven personal guards, forming the front part of the entire cavalry as an arrow.

With Fu Jinchuan's pitch-black spear, he was like a tiger running into a flock of sheep. He drove straight in, stabbed and smashed, and there was no enemy under his command.

Although the six hundred soldiers were definitely not elite by the standards of the frontier army, there was still no suspense in the face of the bandits in front of them.

The thunderous cavalry assault directly awakened the bandits who were thinking of rushing into Gaoyou to grab money, food, guns and women not long ago.

Although these [-] cavalry were not heavy cavalry with horses and armor, the disorderly bandits were not a dense formation of infantry phalanx holding horse-repelling spears.

So the result is obvious, the bandits with nearly [-] people were unable to resist the [-] cavalry who suddenly appeared behind them, and those who were killed directly scattered like birds and beasts.

The bandit leader "East Lake Dragon", whose real name is Zhang Gou'er, was originally the leader of water bandits in the East Lake. He just got the seal of a "Jiangbei Governor" sent by the King of Wu, and gathered the surrounding bandits and kidnapped some young men. , Thinking of taking advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the chaos to capture Gaoyou, the capital governor's seal, before it was hot, he was shot by Fu Jinchuan under the horse in the midst of the chaos, and he was killed immediately.

Then the infantry led by Lu Qianxu also formed a siege. Seeing that the bandit leader was dead and the situation was over, the rebel army was terrified and surrendered one after another.

After the war, Fu Jinchuan entered Gaoyou, and only then did he inform the county Zhang Huaigu of the news of the Wu king's rebellion.

"Thank you for your help, the governor, is this King Wu really rebellious?"

Zhang Huaigu was in his 30s, and he came from the Zhang family, a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River.

Fu Jinchuan nodded, then clasped his fists and said: "Now is the time of crisis, Mr. Zhang County can recruit a strong army to practice defending the city. All the troops of the Qing Zheng Army will be transferred to Yangzhou to clean up, and then cross the river to calm the chaos. Gaoyou is the northern gateway of Yangzhou , there will be Lord Laozhang."

Zhang Huaigu also has a complex expression on his side, because his family is a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are going to fight together.
But right now it is useless to talk too much, Zhang Huaigu bowed his hands solemnly when he came back to his senses and said: "The court ordered Zhang to protect the environment and the people, and it is his duty to do so."

"Liu is an official ordered by the court, and he is willing to rebel? Now it is in the hands of you and other thieves, but he wants to die."

On the Hangzhou city wall, Liu Jingzhi, the governor, was brought before the king of Wu after the city of Hangzhou was broken.

Zhao Deyu, king of Wu, was wearing a plain yellow robe.Wearing a golden crown on his head, he is over fifty years old but still has dark beard and hair, is more than seven feet tall, has a handsome face, and is quite aristocratic.

He looked at Liu Jingzhi and sighed: "Brother Jing, you have known me for twenty years. You should know me well. I have to do this. Wait, so that the people in the world are full of resentment, and the people are living in dire straits. If the Taoist emperor is willing to kill the treacherous ministers to thank the world, I will bind myself and go to the capital to plead guilty."

After Liu Jingzhi heard this, he laughed and said: "Hahahaha, Zhao Deyu, I have known you for twenty years, I don't know that you still have such a smooth tongue, it's useless to talk too much. It's fair and free, I'm in your hands now, But please die."

Zhao Deyu said: "Brother Jing doesn't think about himself, doesn't he think about his family?"

Liu Jingzhi snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, a rebellious minister and a traitor, everyone gets to punish him. Even if you kill my whole family, I, Liu Jingzhi, can't commit myself to serve the thief."

"Hey, let's drag it on." Zhao Deyu sighed.

On June [-], Wu Wang Zhao Deyu led the rebel army to go northward. On July [-], when he arrived at Qiantang, Hangzhou Prefecture, Sima Luqing opened his door to offer the city, and the assassin Liu Jingzhi was full of death festivals.

Pretending to squeeze out a few tears for his old friend, Zhao Deyu summoned all the rebel leaders and confidants under his command.

Then began a large-scale bestowal.

Zhao Deyu called himself "General Marshal of the Northern Expedition against Rebellion", and Shi Gu Xianglin, the former head of the palace, was the head of the Marshal's house, and took charge of the affairs of the Marshal's house.

Xue Julin, the former governor of Yuezhou, Li Zichun, the envoy of the Qingyuan Army, and Chen Guangchen, the envoy of the Xiaojie Army, were ordered to be the commanders-in-chief, each with their own troops.

He also appointed his nephew Zhao Chengjun as the former general, Wang Bing, the former guard commander of the palace, as the left general, the former Hangzhou Sima Luqing as the right general, and Li Tuizhi, the former Yuezhou tycoon, as the rear general to lead the newly recruited army.

Then Wu Wang Zhao Deyu led [-] rebels to the north to attack Suzhou.Don't send generals Xue Julin and Li Zichun to lead the army to attack Xuanzhou.

He sent his nephew Zhao Chengjun to lead the army south to collect Taizhou, and the soldiers from Kuozhou went west to Raozhou.

There were bandits and water bandits all over the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, who were sealed by the governor and general of the King of Wu, and they gathered together to cause chaos.

After Li Shizhong, the Duke of Wei, reported to the imperial court, he purges the soldiers and horses, and at the same time asks Yangzhou, Hongzhou, Xiangzhou and other governors for help.And be prepared to defend against the enemy.

Jiangbei and Huainan, Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion ordered the seven prefectures under the rule to recruit people to build up troops for self-defense.Then the original garrisons of the states were ordered to gather in the direction of Yangzhou.

And Fu Jinchuan selected the elite of Yangzhou cavalry, got 1000 people, plus his own [-] cavalry soldiers, and wiped out the swarming bandits everywhere.

Throughout July, Fu Jinchuan was either suppressing bandits or on his way to suppress bandits.

Huainan not only needs to support the Jiangnan operations, but also bears part of the food and grass in Hebei. If there is chaos in Huainan at this time, it will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to both battlefields.

At the end of July, the imperial edict was delivered.

Li Shizhong, Duke of the State of Wei, was the Grand Marshal of the Jianghuai March, commanding the Jiangnan and Huainan armies, and fully responsible for the counter-insurgency war.

Zhao Huaijiang, governor of Xiangzhou, Fu Jinchuan, governor of Yangzhou, Guo Kan, governor of Anzhou, and Zhang Ji, governor of Hongzhou, were all deputy marshals.

Pingbei Hou Ma Wei led his bodyguards and pro-jun Si Sanwei, and [-] forbidden troops rushed south to help.

At the same time, [-] troops from Guanzhong, Longyou, Hexi, and Shuofang were dispatched to advance eastward.

The offensive of the rebels continued unabated. After taking Qiantang, the prefecture of Hangzhou, they successively conquered the seven cities of Yanguan, Fuyang, Xincheng, Yuhang, Lin'an, Yuqian and Tangshan, and took the whole territory of Hangzhou.

Then sent troops to Suzhou, even conquered seven cities, and the soldiers pointed directly at Runzhou, an important town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Jianye is in a hurry.
