I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 171 Have a good year
Caishi Garrison is on Caishiji, and only a few hundred people are stationed as a garrison.

The biggest one here is the garrison master, surnamed Zhang, named Zhang Gui, who used to be a guard of the palace, and used a spear to kill a wild boar running in front of King Wu during a field hunt a few years ago.

After King Wu's uprising, Zhang Gui also quickly became a school lieutenant, and he made a lot of contributions in previous battles.

He was also appointed as the garrison master of the quarrying garrison.

Zhang Gui still remembers that when the king of Wu asked him to be the quarrying lord, he told him that although this place is not big and the official position is not high, it is related to Zhao Deyu's wealth and life, so please ask Yunyun
Zhang Gui, as a former guard of the palace, a martial artist can get such a solemn entrustment from the prince, how can he not do his best?

So after he became the garrison lord of the quarrying garrison, he gave strict warnings every day to guard against surprise attacks in Jiangbei.

Although Jiangbei often has boats to investigate, it has never really launched an attack on the quarry.But Zhang Gui still dare not take it lightly.

"Today is New Year's Eve, there is wine and meat, but brothers, you still have to be careful. Those on duty should not drink alcohol, and you can eat more meat. No one who drinks is allowed to drink only two liters of wine, and no more."

Hearing Zhang Gui's order, although the several teams looked helpless, they didn't dare to say anything, and just responded casually.But Zhang Gui actually knew that everyone took it seriously at first.

But now, the other party has remained silent, so can this New Year's Eve call come over?
It's not a new year in the north, is it?So these teams agreed with their mouths, but they thought in their hearts that they should eat and drink and it would be over.
About one mile to the south of the Caishi Garrison, two thousand southern troops were stationed there to respond to the Caishi Garrison at any time to deal with the surprise attack of the Northern Army.

But after all, it's Chinese New Year. On New Year's Eve, why don't we drink some wine?
Besides, even if the Northern Army came, wouldn't there still be a garrison guarding it?I can't lose it for a while, even if I send help later, there is still time
On the other side, Hezhou City.

The five hundred warriors who had just been selected had a full meal and a rest early, and when it was almost dawn, Liu Keming, the Sima of Hezhou, and Chen Xing, the personal guard of the governor, and Hu Lanqing, a thousand households of the embroidered guard, and other good fighters , under the cover of night, began to cross the river.

The time to cross the river happened to be Yin time, which was the most difficult time of the day, especially for soldiers on night duty.

Fu Jinchuan did not personally lead the surprise attack, because once the surprise attack was successful, he would need to deal with many things in person.

Therefore, he became a rare spectator, watching Caishi Garrison in Jiangbei.

Many people leaned against the walls of the fortress, shivering in the cold wind, squatting down to avoid the wind, so they still cared about looking out?

As for Zhang Gui himself, when he was on duty until midnight, he was being persuaded by the team on duty to take a rest.

So five hundred warriors crossed the boat, and then quickly climbed to the fort with the flying tiger claws
The elite officers and soldiers who appeared suddenly, under the leadership of Chen Xing and Liu Keming, killed the defenders on the fort by surprise.

Those who chose to carry out this battle were all the first-class elite among the officers and soldiers, and some of them were directly the personal guards of the governor Fu Jinchuan himself like Chen Xing.

And the defenders on the fort had long been shivering from the cold, or were unconscious from drinking.

Facing the elite officers and soldiers, they are simply powerless to parry.

Shu Zhanggui was killed by Chen Xing with a knife. This is also his thought, to be loyal to the King of Wu
By the time the barracks south of the fort heard the shouts of killing, it was already too late.

Caishi Garrison returned to the hands of the officers and soldiers.

And almost at the same time, a large number of official warships began to be seen from Guazhou on the top of the city of Runzhou. At first, the defenders in Runzhou thought it was an attack from the official army.

But then he was relieved to see the ships heading west along the river.

And earlier, on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Chaohu navy went directly out of Ruxukou and headed for the lower reaches of the river.

And winning the quarry is just the beginning, and Yuanfei is done.

At dawn, the rebel camp to the south of the Caishi Garrison began to attack the Caishi Garrison.

The rebel general Chen Chuang is very anxious at the moment. Once the quarry is lost, it will be disastrous for the Jiangnan rebels.

It's fine if it can be taken back, but if it can't be taken back, the officers and soldiers will come across the river in a steady stream.

And Chen Chuang tried his best to order the storming of the fortress, but they didn't have the equipment to attack the city, not even a ladder, so they could only be shot to death with crossbow arrows by the officers and soldiers on the city to climb the city wall.

And Fu Jinchuan, who was still in Jiangbei, immediately began to order the various ministries to start crossing the river in teams.

The Shence Army who rushed to Hezhou by land and the Chaohu Navy from the upper reaches arrived one after another, and then Fu Jinchuan ordered the Shence Army to envoy Su Duan to lead his army across the river.

It was not until the night of the first day of the 19th year of Xuanjia that more than [-] Shence troops crossed the river, and Fu Jinchuan in Jiangbei felt relieved.

"Congratulations to the governor, you have made an indelible contribution." Xie Anchi, the aide beside him, immediately cupped his hands.

Wang Zuoqiu and Xu Yinglong also congratulated.

But Fu Jinchuan waved his hand and said, "It's just imitating our ancestors. It's not too late for you to congratulate when Wu Ni's rebellion is wiped out."

At this time, everyone suddenly remembered that the ancestor of the great governor, Fu Huanshan, the Zhongwu King of the North, led an army together with the Qiyang Wuyi King Li Wenzhen to destroy the Southern Han Dynasty.

Several staff members are familiar with classics and history, so they naturally remember it very clearly. At that time, Fu Huanshan, who was the deputy commander in chief, suggested to the general Li Wenzhen: "Now it is better to rush to build Kang. If the Southern Han Dynasty sends thousands of soldiers to quarry directly, Although there are millions of fine armors, it can't be helped.

Later, he personally led five hundred sharp men to cross the river, attack the quarries, and clear the obstacles for the army to cross the river.

"Here's an order to order Su Duan to attack Gushu as quickly as possible,"

"promise."

At the head of Hezhou City, seeing Caishiji in the distance which had fallen into the imperial court's hands, he suddenly smiled and said, "But I don't know how Wu Ni will feel when he finds out about this."

The return of the quarry to the hands of the army is of great strategic significance to the imperial court's counter-insurgency.

And there are already [-] elite troops crossing the river to camp.

This is different from those officers and troops in Jiangzhou City. The Shence Army is one of the newly formed Eighth Army, and they are all elites from Hebei and Guanzhong.

All fought.

And Su Duan, the envoy of the Shence Army, was from Xijing and was from a wealthy family in Guanzhong.He has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and has excellent martial arts skills.His father, Su Xinggong, served as the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu.Governor of Youzhou and other posts.

Su Duan himself has also made many military exploits, and he was generous in making troubles in Pingheng Province's Shamen, because he was recommended by the head coach Fu Maoxiu and deputy commander Cheng Jintang, and after the new army was reorganized, he was appointed as the Shence military envoy.

This time, as the front part of crossing the river, he has always wanted to make contributions.

After all, this kind of opportunity is not available to everyone.

After crossing the river, Su Duan immediately wiped out the rebels in Caishiji's southern camp and occupied the opposing camp.Then, without waiting for Fu Jinchuan, he led an infantry army, followed the rebels, and captured Gushu.

By the time Fu Jinchuan's military order came, Gu Shu had already arrived.

When Fu Jinchuan heard the reward, he laughed and said: "This man uses soldiers, but he has my demeanor."

When he said this, Su Duannian was standing nearby, while Fu Jinchuan was only 21 years old.
