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

Chapter 143 The Flame of War Reignites in Huai'an

At the beginning of April, the earth gradually began to warm up.

Now, it is now April 12, [-].

The spring breeze is blowing, and everything is full of growth power.

The seedlings or rice seedlings outside Sizhou City are full of vitality.

Standing on the wall outside Sizhou City, Cheng De leaned against the wind, his eyes seemed to penetrate the dense clouds and mists of the distant mountains, and see the inside of the mountains thoroughly.

His eyes are quiet and deep.

Tomorrow is the day when he set off on Huai'an Road.

At dawn, he quickly handled some official duties, then inspected the barracks, and walked to the wall of Sizhou City without knowing it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, sneak a little lazy.

After all, later, he will accompany Ma Xiuying to visit his aunt, He Sanwu's family, and Li Sanqi's family.
Today will be another busy day.

At least, that was the case for Cheng De.

Suddenly.

Cheng De's gaze was attracted by passers-by outside Sizhou City.

He calmly watched the scene where people kept coming in and out of Sizhou City, and felt a trace of peace in his heart.

Then, the movement not far away made Cheng De's eyes freeze.

"Hey!!"

The rapid sound of horseshoes came from a distance, and smoke and dust were everywhere.

Soon.

Cheng De saw such a scene: a person riding on a tall black horse, constantly waving his whip.

The clothes that man was wearing happened to be the jet-black battle armor that the Sizhou Army used to wear.

suddenly.

"Huai'an Road, [-] miles, hurry up!!"

"Huai'an Road, [-] miles, hurry up!!"

"Huai'an Road, [-] miles, hurry up!!"

Under the walls of Sizhou City, passers-by turned their heads and looked towards the source of the sound.

There was surprise on their faces.

Seeing this, Cheng De sent someone to pass on his order to bring the soldiers with the urgent information of eight hundred miles to him.

It didn't take long.

The soldiers who were still riding tall horses just now appeared on the wall of Sizhou City.

Moreover, it has already come in front of Cheng De.

At this moment, the soldier's face was already drenched with sweat.

"Meet the general, little one!" The soldier knelt down on one knee when he saw Cheng De.

At the same time, the soldier held up an urgent envelope for eight hundred miles in both hands.

Cheng De nodded, took the envelope from the soldier, pulled out the sealed letter from the envelope, and opened it to read on the spot.

After a quick scan, Cheng De frowned deeply, showing the word Chuan.

Has the situation turned out to be this bad?

From the handwriting in the letter, he could see that it was written by Deng Youde.

At the end of the letter, the names of Deng Youde and Feng Guoyong were signed.

Content of the letter:

Feng Guoyong and Deng Youde paid a visit to the general, and the general personally said:
At noon on April 12th, 30, Tuotuo had arrived in Qingjiang City, led an army of [-] yuan, and was heading towards Huai'an City.

The Yuan army was coming fiercely, with many soldiers and generals, and sufficient food and grass.

Under the situation of the two armies, Tuotuo's attack this time is not good for our Sizhou army.

His subordinate Feng Guoyong discussed with Deng Youde that if the 30 troops come to attack, with the Sizhou Army's 2 soldiers and horses, and the assistance of the people of Huai'an City, Huai'an City can hold out for at most fifteen days.

If the situation turns sharply, we can hold Huai'an City for at least ten days.

I also hope that the general will quickly assist Huai'an City.

Feng Guoyong and Deng Youde paid homage to the general again.

After reading it again, Cheng De raised his head, looked at the endless sky above his head, took a deep breath, and felt a little more helpless in his heart.

"Come on!" Cheng De shouted loudly.

"General!" a soldier responded.

Cheng De said to the soldiers: "You go to He Jiusi and ask him to pass on my order quickly to inform the whole Sizhou City that due to the emergency military situation, the original two-day vacation will be canceled in advance. Let all the soldiers on vacation return before noon. Gather at the barracks at the school field in Sizhou City. I want to see the [-] troops in order."

"Follow the order!" The soldier responded respectfully and left in a hurry.

After Cheng De watched the soldiers leave, he told the soldiers who delivered the letter to go down to rest, and then returned directly to the General's Mansion.

At the same time, he sent someone to send Fang Ming to come to the study of the general's mansion to discuss matters.

After Cheng De arrived at the General's Mansion.

He saw Fang Ming rushing over too.

The two looked at each other.

"Fang Ming pays his respects to the general!" Fang Ming respectfully saluted Cheng De.

Cheng De nodded.

"Follow me to the study." After finishing speaking, Cheng De hurriedly walked towards the study.

Seeing Cheng De walking hurriedly, Fang Ming's heart trembled.

He followed closely behind Cheng De.

For a while.

study.

Fang Ming stood aside, bowed slightly, and stared at the ground.

After Cheng De sat down at his desk, he said directly to Fang Ming, "Fang Ming, can you prepare the food, grass and equipment for the [-]-strong army going to Huai'an Road?"

Fang Ming was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Report to General, my subordinates are ready."

Cheng De nodded in satisfaction: "That's good."

Afterwards, Cheng De said again: "I'll give you two hours to supplement the [-] troops with dry food for [-] days."

Fang Ming was startled, "General, are these two hours a little short?"

Cheng De looked at Fang Ming and said, "At noon, I will lead an army of [-] to Huai'an City. Two hours is not enough, so can arrangements be made before noon?"

Fang Ming didn't hesitate at all: "Yes. It's just that the subordinate hopes that the general can allocate some manpower to the subordinate."

Cheng De replied: "Okay. Just pick from the 6000 people under He Jiusi's command, even if you use all the 6000 people, it's okay."

"If that's the case, my subordinates will be able to make arrangements before noon." Fang Ming raised his head, looked at Cheng De, and said firmly.

"Well. Go down and get busy now!" Cheng De waved his hand.

Fang Ming bowed to Cheng De, bowed and retreated to the study, then turned and left quickly.

"Come on!" Cheng De shouted towards the outside of the study.

"General!" The soldier standing outside the study responded.

"Give me an order to tell Zhang Qijiu and Yang Zhongkai to come see me quickly!"

"Yes!" The soldier hurried away.

Cheng De spread out the newly drawn map of the territory under the rule of the Sizhou Army, and his gaze was fixed on Huai'an Road Huai'an City without blinking, his eyes thoughtful.

How to break this critical situation on Huai'an Road?
Staring at the map for a long time, Cheng De frowned and thought deeply.

suddenly.

A light flashed across Cheng De's mind, his eyes lit up immediately, and he was overjoyed.

Perhaps, he thought, there was a way to save this danger.

Surround Wei to save Zhao.

This is the strategy Cheng De came up with.

This time Tuotuo led an army of 34. If he occupied his northward route and attacked Xuzhou, Pizhou and other places, then Tuotuo would be anxious when he heard the news.

First of all, Tuotuo led an army of 34 troops to station in Qinghe, Qingjiang, Andong Prefecture and other places.

Then, the number of defenders in Xuzhou, Pizhou and other places will naturally not be many, that is to say, the defense is insufficient.

And this is his chance.

He wanted to lead a cavalry force to roam across Xuzhou, Pizhou and other places occupied by the Yuan army.

His purpose is one, to destroy the defensive measures in Xuzhou, Pizhou and other places, and to burn the grain and grass stored in various places, so that the Tuotuo army will fall into a crisis of food shortage.

After all, the 34 army led by Tuotuo consumes countless grains every day. If those grains and grasses are burned, the Yuan army will be defeated.

And if this plan is completed, and then turn around to Qinghe City, behind Qingjiang City, looking for a good opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Tuotuo army, then it may not be impossible.

However, this plan also has many risks.

After all, this was implemented within the territory of the Yuan army. If Tuotuo reacted quickly and the leader retreated to block him, then he would be in danger.

Thinking of this, Cheng De couldn't help hesitating.

He thought, if a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, this plan is still a bit risky.

He decided not to use this plan for the time being.

He continued to stare at the map, his eyes flickering.

At this moment, Zhang Qijiu and Yang Zhongkai came.

Cheng De directly let Zhang Qijiu and Yang Zhongkai into the study.

"Zhang Qijiu, starting today, I will lead the army to Huai'an City. This Sizhou City, you must do three things well." Cheng De interrupted Zhang Qijiu and Yang Zhongkai's salute, and said directly.

Zhang Qijiu nodded heavily, he held his breath and waited for Cheng De to speak.

Cheng De looked at Zhang Qijiu and said: "The first thing is to protect everyone in the general's mansion. During my absence, Jin Yiwei must be distributed around the general's mansion, and no suspicious people can be allowed to enter the general's mansion." .”

"Yes." Zhang Qijiu replied.

"The second thing is to continue to monitor Zhu Yuanzhang and record all his words and deeds. Of course, this matter should be done more secretly. The number of people should be limited to five. Don't be discovered!"

"Yes."

"The third thing is to secretly send a group of Jinyi guards to be responsible for the distribution around the Academy of Sciences. The safety of the entire Academy of Sciences must be guaranteed. Remember it?"

"Report to General, all subordinates will remember!"

Cheng De nodded, and then fixed his eyes on Yang Zhongkai.

"Yang Zhongkai, I received the news that you sent someone to assassinate Tuotuo earlier?" Cheng De looked at Yang Zhongkai calmly.

Yang Zhongkai stared at Cheng De, hurriedly found a pen and a blank document from his body, and started writing quickly.

Seeing this, Cheng De waited silently.

Not long after, Yang Zhongkai respectfully handed the written document to Cheng De.

After Cheng De quickly browsed through the documents, he fell silent.

With the way of others, can we still treat the body of others?
In this way, it may also allow Tuotuo to converge.

Regarding Yang Zhongkai's explanation, Cheng De secretly thought about it for a while, and felt that it made some sense, so he didn't hold on to the matter any longer.

Cheng De lowered his head and pondered for a while, then asked in a flat tone: "Yang Zhongkai, are there Jueshengwei in Xuzhou, Pizhou and other places?"

Yang Zhongkai nodded.

Without the slightest hesitation, he quickly wrote another document and handed it to Cheng De.

Cheng De took it again, glanced at it quickly, and he had a bottom line in his mind.

Since Yang Zhongkai said it was all there, it must be there.

However, the arrangements he made before were all for the purpose of assassinating Tuotuo.

In this regard, Cheng De naturally did not want these elite guards to sacrifice like this.

Therefore, Cheng De stared closely at Yang Zhongkai: "The plan to assassinate Tuotuo, immediately send someone to contact the Jueshengwei in these places, and let them wait for the opportunity. When our Sizhou army attacks, let them give us the opportunity to attack." Be a guide. Before that, let them check out the nearby terrain in various places!"

Seeing Cheng De's unquestionable eyes, Yang Zhongkai was silent for a while, then nodded.

"Han Bogao's family, are you here?" Cheng De suddenly changed the subject and asked Yang Zhongkai.

Yang Zhongkai shook his head.

Cheng De was silent for a while, "As soon as there is news, let me know the matter as soon as possible. In addition, Han Bogao wrote the nomination certificate before, and the various inside stories involved in the nomination certificate have sent Jueshengwei to Verify?"

Yang Zhongkai nodded slightly.

At the same time, with Cheng De's permission, Yang Zhongkai took out a blank piece of paper from his desk and wrote a line: "I have sent someone to verify it, but due to the long distance, no news has been sent back."

"You have to pay close attention to this matter. If Han Bogao's statement on the nomination certificate is true, then his family can directly hand it over to Han Bogao after receiving it. If it is not true, then find a secret in Sizhou City Place, put all his family members under confinement, and then send Jueshengwei to guard. Everything, I will talk about it when I come back." Cheng De looked at Yang Zhongkai with a gloomy gaze.

Yang Zhongkai nodded in response.

"One more thing, both of you have to do it." Cheng De said, his eyes flashed with worry.

Zhang Qijiu and Yang Zhongkai looked at Cheng De one after another, with doubt and curiosity in their eyes.

What both Jinyiwei and Jueshengwei had to do aroused their strong curiosity.

"Zhang Wusi, I sent him to carry out a secret mission. As a result, after so long, he hasn't sent back any news. Even the others seem to have disappeared. You let everyone under your command be in We searched the territory under the rule of the Sizhou Army. I think, such a big living person should just disappear like this?" Cheng De looked at Zhang Qijiu and Yang Zhongkai and said solemnly.

"General, can you tell me where the main man stayed before he disappeared?" Zhang Qijiu asked.

Cheng De replied: "The news about Zhang Wusi was near Huai'an City at first. Afterwards, we lost contact, and until now, there is no news about him at all."

Huai'an City?
Zhang Qijiu said a word silently in his heart, then he bowed and said: "This subordinate will definitely do its best to find Zhang Wusi."

Cheng De nodded, looking at Zhang Qijiu, his heart was filled with relief.

Under his orders, Zhang Wusi took a large sum of money and went to the folks to find good players to form the Youhun Guard.

However, he never returned.

Is it in danger?

Or are there other secrets?
Cheng De's eyes were blinded by this, and he didn't know anything.

This is a very vigilant thing for a superior.

If there is danger, he can also organize people to rescue immediately.

If there are other secrets, he will make another response accordingly.

"By the way, you all have to send people to keep an eye on Kong Kesheng. This Kong Kesheng has been staying in Sizhou City. If he has any contact with him secretly, you have to send people to watch and record it. When I return to Sizhou When the city is closed, we will deal with it." Cheng De added suddenly.

Zhang Qijiu and Yang Zhongkai both nodded to show that they would definitely follow the order.

Afterwards, Cheng De asked the two of them to go down to work, and then he headed towards Ma Xiuying's room.

When he came outside Ma Xiuying's house, he happened to hear Ma Xiuying and Luo Yan chatting in the house.

"Sister Yan, I just got the news that Brother De has changed his itinerary. He will lead the army at noon today."

"Ah? Why is this general so sudden? Could it be that something has changed in the situation on Huai'an Road?"

"I don't know about that. Hey! Brother De has gone, and don't know when he will return?"

"It's true. I only hope that the general will return in triumph this time! Tomorrow, I want to go to Lingxi Temple to pray for the general."

"Let's go together!"

"Well. Let's go together then."

Cheng De wanted to go in and say goodbye to them, but was stunned for a moment.

He thought for a while, and finally, he pushed the door open and walked in.

I sat in Ma Xiuying's room for a while, chatted with Ma Xiuying and Luo Yan for a while, and said goodbye at the end.

As for the matter of visiting my aunt's family, He Sanwu's family, and Li Sanqi's family, Cheng De explained that Ma Xiuying waited for him to visit them all.

Afterwards, with a relaxed mood, Cheng De, wearing a sturdy jet-black battle armor and holding the 35 catties sharp long knife in his right hand, headed towards the barracks in the school field of Sizhou City.

Behind him, Li Xiaoci, Cheng Neng and other six people followed.

After arriving at the military barracks in the school field, Cheng De was already standing on the high platform that He Jiusi had already sent someone to build, waiting silently.

Soon, 5 people gathered in the school field barracks.

Cheng De gave an order on the high platform, and the army moved after hearing the order, and then marched towards Huai'an City on Huai'an Road.

In an instant, the sky and the earth—the wind rose and the clouds surged.

The flames of war are rekindling in Huai'an, and we will never return if we are gone.

Angrily beheaded 30 enemy troops, and split the turbid yuan to see the clear sky.
