At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 111 Zhang Shicheng's Baijuchang Incident
Zhang Shide suddenly said: "If the eldest brother wants to make trouble, he needs the help of heroes. With the four of us alone, we are alone and weak, so I'm afraid we will be powerless."

Zhang Shiyi then said: "Yes, brother! We all heard about Cheng De, the general of the Sizhou Army in the salt field today, and my brother was unwilling. As a younger brother, I can understand. We are not much better. However, elder brother must understand that there were at least [-] people before he started the incident? But what about us? There are only four. As younger brothers, we are naturally willing to follow elder brother to make some troubles. But Big brother has to make some preparations before the incident."

Hearing this, Zhang Shicheng sat silently, only feeling a depression in his chest.

At this time, Zhang Shixin said: "Big Brother, if Big Brother wants to make trouble, I think there is one person that Big Brother can win over."

Zhang Shicheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Who is it?"

"Brother, it's Wang Kerou who despised money and gave righteousness to justice. He is a real hero." Zhang Shixin replied.

Zhang Shicheng fell silent immediately.

This person, he understands, but now he can't save him.

Wang Kerou was denounced for plotting against the Yuan, and was later captured by the Yuan army and guarded by heavy soldiers. With the strength of their four brothers, it was like moths flying to the flame, and lost their lives for nothing.

Taken together carefully, the effort is not directly proportional to the return.

Zhang Shicheng felt a little depressed.

He thought to himself: Who can help him succeed?

At this time.

Zhang Shide looked at Zhang Shicheng with some hesitation.

After Zhang Shicheng noticed it, he looked surprised, looked at Zhang Shide and asked, "What do you want to tell me?"

When Zhang Shide heard his elder brother Zhang Shicheng's question, he didn't hesitate at all: "Brother, do you remember Pan Mao from Hailing, Taizhou?"

Zhang Shicheng thought about it and replied, "Why did you mention him?"

"Brother, don't you see that Pan Mao wants to marry Brother?" Zhang Shide asked back.

Zhang Shicheng was silent for a while, "I've also heard about his two sons, both of whom know the art of war and are quite capable of fighting. Which son is he proposing for?"

Zhang Shide replied: "Second son Pan Yuanshao."

"It's fine for him. Do you know why he wants to marry me?" Zhang Shicheng asked with some worry in his heart.

Zhang Shide suddenly laughed, and then said: "I heard that it's because Pan Mao's wife, Dai Shi, is quite capable of knowing people. Once Dai Shi saw her eldest brother, she said to his son Pan Yuanming' Eldest brother is a hero, you can do things for him." At first, my younger brother thought it was ridiculous, but later Pan Mao came to him and was dismissed by younger brother. Now, if elder brother agrees, I will discuss this matter. agree."

Zhang Shicheng said to Zhang Shide: "That's it, that's fine, you go for me and tell Pan Mao that I would like to marry him."

"Okay, no problem. My brother must finish this matter." Zhang Shide replied.

After that, Zhang Shicheng chatted with the three brothers for a while, and then returned to his room.

However, not long after, Zhang Shide brought back a person, and this person was Pan Mao.

Zhang Shicheng was also taken aback, how could it be so fast?

Zhang Shicheng looked at Zhang Shide suspiciously.

Zhang Shide seemed to have sensed the meaning in Zhang Shicheng's eyes, so he said: "Brother, this person is the Pan Mao I told you about. I was just about to go to his house, but who knows, just after I left the door Not long after, I met him on the road and brought him directly to Big Brother."

Zhang Shicheng nodded when he heard the words, looked at Pan Mao and said, "I heard Shide said that the public intends to marry my family?"

Pan Mao smiled and said, "That's exactly the case. I would like to ask for it for my second son Yuan Shao."

Zhang Shicheng said solemnly: "Your Majesty is an aristocrat of the royal family. Since I have this fate, how can I not agree?"

It turned out that this Pan Mao was changed to Pan after the former Song Taizu, because of the collapse of the country and to avoid disaster.

Pan Mao was overjoyed when he heard what Zhang Shicheng said.

Now that the two have become relatives of their sons and daughters, they set up a banquet and drank together, accompanied by Zhang Shide.

room.

Zhang Shicheng accidentally mentioned the matter of Wang Kerou to Pan Mao.

Pan Mao seemed to have already known Zhang Shicheng's words in his heart, and there were other strings, so he said to Zhang Shicheng: "I'm afraid Brother Zhang doesn't mean that?"

Zhang Shicheng pondered for a while before mentioning the incident vaguely.

Pan Mao is also a person with a dexterous mind. After knowing Zhang Shicheng's intentions, he smiled and said: "Brother Zhang, if you trust me, I am willing to recommend someone to Brother Zhang. This person can help Brother Zhang achieve success."

Zhang Shicheng didn't expect that there was something about Pan Mao, he knew in his heart that Pan Mao had understood what he meant, but he didn't object or be intimidated, and his heart gradually settled down.

Therefore, Zhang Shicheng looked at Pan Mao and asked, "Who is the person Brother Pan is talking about?"

Pan Mao replied: "This person is Lu Mingzhen, the name of National Treasure, born in Anfeng, Xinghua, after Lu Baoxiang of the Great Song Dynasty. If Brother Zhang wants to make trouble, with the help of this person, he will be able to succeed immediately."

Zhang Shicheng did not respond immediately, but asked, "How is this person?"

Pan Mao: "This man is seven feet five inches tall, Shen Yiying, and suave."

Hearing this, Zhang Shicheng was overjoyed, and said with a smile, "That's very good."

Two days later, that is, February 12th, [-]th year.

Zhang Shicheng met Lu Zhen himself, and the two hit it off right away, and they paid eight obeisances to him on the spot, making a death-by-neck friendship.

At the same time, there is a yin and yang magician in Hailing, named Li Xingsu, who is easy to understand and has military strategy in his chest. Under Pan Mao's operation, he heard that Zhang Shicheng is an extraordinary person, so he brought his son Li Bosheng to visit him.

In order to win over Li Xingsu, a great talent, Zhang Shicheng also became opposite-sex brothers with Li Bosheng.

Li Xingsu had no choice but to stay, and under Zhang Shicheng's heartfelt words, he took refuge in Zhang Shicheng, worshiped Zhang Shicheng as his lord, and became Zhang Shicheng's military adviser.

With the help of Zhang Shicheng and Li Xingsu, within three days, heroes from all over the world came to join him.

More than 200 heroes gathered together, 20 of them were headed by: Zhang Shiyi, Zhang Shide, Zhang Shixin, Lu Zhen, Li Bosheng, Pan Yuanming, Pan Yuanshao, Mo Tianyou, Mo Tianxi, Xu Yi, Xu Yingjie, Xu Zhicai, Han Qian, Han Li, Song Xingzu, Zhang Tianqi, Li Ning, Hua Ping, Liang Wu, Liu Ren.

On February 12, [-], Zhang Shicheng officially started an incident in Baijuchang.

In just one day, they successively took down Baiju Field, Liuzhuang Field, Wuni Field, Caoyan Field, and Dingyi Field, with tens of thousands of troops, which was unstoppable.

Under Li Xingsu's suggestion, Zhang Shicheng led the army to attack the Yuan army in Yancheng in the middle of the night.

The Yuan army in Yancheng also had people arranged by Pan Mao as internal support, and Zhang Shicheng captured Yancheng at midnight.

For a time, Zhang Shicheng's reputation in Yancheng was greatly improved, attracting many people from the saltworks.

Zhang Shicheng's power is growing rapidly.

the other side.

Since Li Sanqi received Cheng De's order, he led an army of 5000 people and rushed to Yancheng non-stop.

Unexpectedly, he was attacked by thousands of water thieves in Siyang Lake. After dealing with the water thieves for a few days, Li Sanqi set up a trick to lure the snake out of the hole, broke into the water thieves' lair, and intercepted a lot of food, grass, military equipment and property.

After sorting out and counting, Li Sanqi hurried to Yancheng.

What he didn't expect was that the 2000 yuan army that built Hucheng actually held him back.

Before, Cheng De's order did not mention Jianhu City, but in Li Sanqi's view, Jianhu City did not pose much threat at all.

But it was this humble Jianhu City that dragged him here for nearly ten days.

The Yuan army who built Hucheng resisted extremely tenaciously, which was beyond Li Sanqi's expectation.

During Li Sanqi's impatience, he almost made a big mistake. After losing some troops, he learned his lesson and fought steadily, and finally won Jianhu City on February 12, [-].

What he never expected was that the scouts sent to Yancheng came back and told him that Yancheng was occupied by a salt dealer named Zhang Shicheng. Li Sanqi almost vomited blood when he heard this.

After that, Li Sanqi continued to send scouts to Yancheng to find out the specific situation in Yancheng.

At the same time, Li Sanqi also began to write down the situation in a document, and sent someone to rush it to Cheng De outside Gaoyou City.

Gaoyou Prefecture, Gaoyou City, outside the city of Cheng De, the big tent of the Chinese Army.

Sitting at his desk, Cheng De looked at the documents sent from various places under the rule of Sizhou, which were piled up into a hill, with his brows furrowed.

He originally wanted Luo Mao to handle these documents with him, but since Luo Mao came to Gaoyou City, he became seriously ill and was bedridden. to visit.

As for why he didn't hand it over to Liu Bowen, it was because Cheng De didn't see a sense of belonging to the Sizhou Army from Liu Bowen, and he didn't trust Liu Bowen for the time being.

So, I can only go into battle by myself.

He thought to himself: In the past, Luo Mao had to deal with so many things every day, probably due to his own troubles, he became sick from overwork.

At this time, he suddenly thought of Yao Guangxiao who was still in Sizhou City, and his heart moved.

Maybe Yao Guangxiao can temporarily replace Luo Mao.

"Come on!" Cheng De made a decisive decision and shouted outside the big tent.

"General!" Liu Chongwu bowed to Cheng De and saluted.

"Choose a smart person from among your men. Hurry up to Sizhou City within [-] miles, and send me an order: Order Yao Guangxiao to bring some siege equipment and come to Gaoyou City, where I am in the camp of the Chinese army!" Hurry up and arrange this!" Cheng De ordered directly.

"Yes, General!" Liu Chongwu replied, and then Liu Chongwu left in a hurry.

After Cheng De watched Liu Chongwu leave, he began to worry about Li Sanqi who attacked Yancheng, and He Sanwu who attacked Xinghua City.

For more than half a month, he had not received any news from Li Sanqi and He Sanwu, so he sent some top guards to Yancheng and Xinghua City to find out the situation of Li Sanqi and He Sanwu.

In the past two weeks, there has been no good news.

Deng Youde has taken Tianchangcheng, Xu Da has taken Liuhe City, Feng Sheng, Tang He, and Geng Zaicheng have also taken Laiancheng.

Because Chuzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Feng Guoyong has not won Chuzhou City yet.

In addition, regarding the issue of food, he sent someone to ask Li Shanchang and the others to find a solution.

The way they discussed was to arrange spring plowing in various places under the Sizhou Army's rule, and to buy grain from the landowners in various places under the Sizhou Army's rule, as well as those big grain merchants.

Unexpectedly, the urgent food problem was solved, which was a surprise.

It can be regarded as letting a stone in his heart fall to the ground.

Li Shanchang wrote to tell him that all of this was because of the "Sizhou Daily" that these landowners and large grain merchants were willing to sell grain to the Sizhou Army.

According to Li Shanchang's meaning, they saw the situation clearly, and they also showed their favor to the Sizhou Army first, hoping to get some benefits from the Sizhou Army.

What are the specific benefits, I am afraid they will bring it up sooner or later.

Speaking of "Sizhou Daily", Shi Naian sent someone to send the first issue before. Cheng De was very satisfied after reading it, but he still wrote to Shi Naian about "Sizhou Daily", telling him that there are many things that can be done. suggestion.

After putting aside these messy things, Cheng De began to look through the documents piled up on his desk.
