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

Chapter 148 Please Think Twice

The rooster sings the whole world.

The reason why Cheng De woke up was because the rooster crowing in the courtyard next to the General's Mansion woke him up.

After waking up, he didn't feel sleepy anymore.

When he came out of the house and came to the front yard, he found that Li Xiaoci, Cheng Neng and other seven people had already arrived.

"See General!" Li Xiaoci and others bowed to Cheng De one after another.

Cheng De nodded.

As usual, he went to the study, and Cheng De was going to deal with military affairs.

However, when he thought of Ru Zhongbai's [-] troops standing on the only way from Hongze City to Huai'an City, Cheng De's heart became a little blocked.

According to Cheng De's conjecture, if he were Ru Zhongbai, he would definitely do the same.

This is war.

Either you die or I die.

With this thought in mind, Cheng De was no longer in the mood to deal with military affairs.

His eyes inadvertently glanced at the military map next to the desk in the study.

Spreading out the map to look at it, Cheng De's brows gradually furrowed.

After staring at the map for a while, suddenly Li Xiaoci's voice came from outside the study.

"General, the guard at the east gate of Hongze City has something important to report."

Cheng De was startled, and then said to the direction outside the study: "Let him come in and talk directly."

next moment.

The door of the study creaked open.

"Subordinate Lu Qijiu pays respects to the general!"

Hearing this, Cheng De raised his head and looked at Lu Qijiu.

Broad forehead, flat nose, round face, small eyes.

This is how Lu Qijiu met Cheng De's eyes.

Cheng De: "If you have anything, just say it."

Lu Qijiu: "General, there are many heads piled up a hundred steps away from the east gate of Hongze City. Beside the heads, there are many civilians who were bound and kneeling on the ground. The necks of the civilians were held by the Yuan army Let’s go. Those Yuan soldiers shouted, they want to see the general, and said.”

Lu Qijiu spoke up to this point, but could no longer continue.

He lowered his head at the moment, not daring to look at Cheng De.

When Cheng De heard Lu Qijiu's words, his eyes flashed with rage, and he said sharply, "And what?"

Lu Qijiu seemed to have sensed that Li Chengde was angry, so he didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately said: "And said, if the general doesn't show up within the time of a stick of incense, then there will be another 35 heads outside the east gate of Hongze City." .”

Cheng De became angry when he heard this, and he punched the desk, shaking the documents on the desk.

Lu Qijiu's head lowered.

Cheng De took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said: "Then go and see, I'll see, what do they want to say?"

Afterwards, Cheng De got up, quickly put on the jet-black battle armor, held a long knife in his right hand, rode a tall horse, and walked towards the east gate of Hongze City.

Lu Qijiu, Li Xiaoci and others also rode their horses and quickly followed behind Cheng De.

not long time.

Cheng De came to the wall of the east gate of Hongze City.

He stood on the city wall, looking down at the city.

When his gaze passed over one place, his heart suddenly felt cold.

About a hundred steps away from the city, many human heads were piled up like a hill.

He could clearly see those heads with babies and children
Cheng De's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

Then, he saw more than a dozen rows of people kneeling next to the man's head. They all lowered their heads, and the direction of kneeling was the direction of the wall of the east gate of Hongze City.

Beside them, Yuan soldiers put their sharp long knives on the necks of these helpless people.

This scene made Cheng De's gaze cold.

He looked coldly at those Yuan soldiers holding butcher knives, without any emotion in his eyes.

"These people should be killed!" Cheng De gritted his teeth and said.

at this time.

A voice suddenly came from under the city: "The traitor Cheng De hasn't shown up yet, is it because he wants to be a coward? Haha."

Sizhou soldiers on the city wall clenched their weapons with both hands, and looked angrily at the laughing Yuan soldiers below the city.

Cheng De looked at those Yuan troops who were mocking him, and said coldly: "A group of jumping clowns! I, Cheng De, are standing here, so Ru Zhongbo is as cowardly as a mouse and dare not see me, so I sent you flies, Are you here to disgust me? It seems that this Ru Zhongbai is just a moron!"

After Cheng De's words were passed on, the faces of the soldiers of the Yuan army froze, and then their faces turned red, and they looked in the direction of the city wall with astonishment in their eyes.

Suddenly, a figure walked out of this group of soldiers, and he said, "Cheng De, you have finally appeared. The life and death of these people are all in your mind. If you really want to save these people, then just one People came here alone. Otherwise, all of these common people will be killed!"

"The time limit is half an hour. If you don't come down after half an hour and come to me, then all these people will die."

"Last night, I slaughtered a village, and the people in that village resisted fiercely. Before they died, they said that you, Cheng De, would avenge them. It's ridiculous! Now, our enemies are right in front of you, how dare you come here alone? Don't you dare! It seems that they have mistrusted you, Cheng De!"

"Ha ha."

Hearing the incomparably arrogant laughter under the city, Cheng De looked at this arrogant figure quietly, with unstoppable killing intent in his eyes.

Cheng De tightly held the long knife in his hand, and then looked at the five hundred or so Yuan troops below the city.

Then he glanced over the five hundred yuan army, and looked at the neat yuan army not far behind them.

Looking at it at a glance, it seems that there is no end in sight.

However, according to Cheng De's guess, there are at least [-].

Li Xiaoci, Cheng Neng and others on the side were very angry after hearing this, pointing at the Yuan soldiers below the city and yelling.

Cheng De's eyes stayed on those people who were tied up and bowed their heads, and guilt surged in his heart.

His hand holding the long knife made a "quack" sound, which proved that his heart was not peaceful.

Seeing Cheng De's performance, Li Xiaoci was startled, and quickly said: "General, you must not fall into the trap of that Yuan man and go out of the city alone! General, think twice!"

"Think twice, general!!"

"Think twice, general!!"

The soldiers of the Sizhou Army all around knelt down on one knee and begged Cheng De not to leave the city alone.

The commotion on the city wall seemed to be a bit loud and spread down the city.

Those people who were tied up kept their heads down, but at this moment, they were startled. Their originally gloomy eyes looked at the figure standing in front of the city wall, and they were greatly touched. There was a gleam in his eyes.

It turned out that when they were in such a situation, the General Zhenglu they respected would put his personal life and death aside for them!
At this moment, these people burst into tears!

The people are lovely, and they will remember whoever is really kind to them, and they will repay those who are kind to them in turn.

Ever since General Zhenglu drove away the Yuan soldiers, their lives were no longer hopeless.

They all believed that under the rule of General Zhenglu, they could grow more food.

And most of these grains will be put into their own pockets.

They began to gradually believe in the wish of General Zhenglu: to let the people in the world have enough to eat and no longer go hungry, and to let the people in the world have housing and clothing.
Among these kneeling common people, some courage suddenly appeared in their bodies.

They thought, even if they die, they don't want to be the general who treats them benevolently and righteously!

People should talk about their conscience and compare their hearts with their hearts.

Many of them looked at each other at this moment.

at this time.

Among them, one of them said loudly: "General Zhenglu, I'm ninety-seven tall, and I'm not worth your risk! General Zhenglu, please think twice. After I die, General Zhenglu will help me kill one more elemental soldier. Take revenge for me!!"

"General Zhenglu, I'm not worth your risk for me! You are a good person, and a good person should live long!!"

"General Zhenglu, you have the grace of life for us all, there is no reason to let General Zhenglu take risks for us!!"

"God's on, let's look forward to the next life, we will continue to be the subjects of General Zhenglu!"

"General Zhenglu, take care, we can't be your people in this life, only in the next life!!"

Cheng De's heart became even more uncomfortable when he heard the words from the people in the city.

suddenly.

There was a great commotion in the city.

Cheng De looked intently, and he saw the common people stretching their heads towards the long knives.

In an instant.

There were many corpses on the ground.

The blood flowed all over the ground, which looked so dazzling under the sunlight.

Cheng De's heart felt as if a knife had been cut, and his tears flowed silently.

"You are all heroes! I, Cheng De, am sorry for you!"

"I, Cheng De, am sorry for you!!"

"Yuan thief, you wait for me!!"

"I, Cheng De, swear here that I will definitely use your heads to worship these heroes!!"

"what--"

When Cheng De saw that the people were all dead, Cheng De's eyes were tearing apart, and he stroked his painful heart, almost crazy, and swung a long knife in the direction of the Yuan army.

"You thieves are hateful! I will definitely kill you guys!!"

"I will definitely kill you guys!!"

The soldiers of the Sizhou Army around Cheng De saw their General Zhenglu wept in pain for the sake of those dead people, as if they were crazy, and their hearts were greatly shaken.

They silently looked at General Zhenglu who was crying bitterly in the field, they were all silent there, and they couldn't help feeling a little more sad in their hearts.

Unknowingly, their hands holding the weapons became even stronger.

And their fighting spirit, inadvertently, became even higher.

Their eyes moved to the Yuan army below the city in unison, with murderous intent in their eyes.

a long time.

Cheng De was silent, staring blankly at the fallen corpses of the people under the city, feeling extremely complicated.

"There is no death in life, and it is so expensive. These people will be recorded in the monument of heroes in the future. Li Xiaoci, please write this down. After the war is over, check the identities of these people. They all He is a hero!!" Cheng De said with a hoarse voice, suddenly choked up.

Li Xiaoci nodded heavily: "Yes, General!"

Cheng De turned his head with difficulty, looked at the soldiers of the Sizhou Army and said, "Stay well, don't worry, with me here, these Yuan troops will never want to attack!!"

"Yes!!" The surrounding Sizhou Army soldiers responded loudly.

Cheng De nodded, with a look of grief on his face, and walked down the city wall with heavy steps.

His back, under the sunshine, looks more bleak and lonely.
After Li Xiaoci, Cheng Neng and others looked at each other, they followed Cheng De silently, their eyes were a little worried.

After Cheng De returned to the General's Mansion, he locked himself in the study room alone, and ordered others not to disturb him without his order.

Cheng De sat in the study for a while, then withdrew his mind and studied the territory map of the Yuan Dynasty.

At the same time, his previous strategy of besieging Wei and saving Zhao came to mind again.

He couldn't accept sitting still and waiting to die. He thought that even if it was a risk, as long as he could repel these Yuan troops, it would be worth the risk.

However, the previous strategy of besieging Wei and saving Zhao needs some changes.

Thinking of this, Cheng De's eyes fixed on the four cities of Siyang, Suqian, Pizhou and Xuzhou.

According to Cheng De's guess, these four cities should be one of the storage places for Tuotuo's 34 troops.

And the previous route of Tuotuo started from Xuzhou, passed through Pizhou, Suqian, arrived at Siyang, and then went to Qingjiang, Qinghe, and Andong Prefecture.

Tuotuo rushed from Xuzhou to Qingjiang City. On the way, according to the previous intelligence analysis, he should go first, and the food and grass behind.

And Tuotuo's 10 yuan army consumes countless food and grass every day.

According to this, as long as he takes down Siyang City, it is equivalent to being held by him as the place where Tuotuo's food and grass must pass. At that time, he will hold the fate of Tuotuo's 34 troops by the throat.

As long as their food and grass are burned, the Tuotuo army will be defeated without a fight.

Moreover, when the time comes, he can reverse the siege, attack Qingjiang, Qinghe, and Andong Prefecture, attract some of Tuotuo's troops, and reduce some pressure on Huai'an City.

Thinking of this, Cheng De's eyes suddenly brightened.

On the other side of the north gate of Hongze City is Hongze Station.

When you get near Hongze Station, you can lead an army directly into Siyang City.

Moreover, he had already parked hundreds of boats at Hongze Lake in front of the North City Gate.

I didn't expect these arrangements to be effective at this time.

However, it is daylight now, and it is not appropriate to act with great fanfare.

Only at night can one act through the darkness.

However, if he wanted to cross Hongze Lake to Hongze Station on the opposite bank smoothly, he had to make some new arrangements.

At least, his own side should take the initiative to launch a battle to cover his actions.

Of course, even if you start a fight, you don't need to start a fight, you can pretend to start a fight, but you need to make the noise louder, make the momentum louder, and attract Ru Zhongbai's attention more, so that he can concentrate all of his attention. Put it on Hongze City.

In other words, it is to create a battle with a lot of thunder and little rain.

Based on this, Cheng De's eyes suddenly brightened.

Many strategies suddenly flashed in his mind, and after thinking about it, he felt that he could give it a try.

However, in order to ensure that these strategies can be successfully implemented, he has thought a few more layers about these strategies.

Time passed, and it was night.

Li Xiaoci, Cheng Neng and other seven people who have been stationed outside the study, their eyes have been looking into the study from time to time.

There was more worry in their hearts.

Ever since Cheng De entered the study, he hadn't eaten for a whole day, and the study seemed to be very quiet.

But now it was dark, and the inside of the study was also pitch black.

It's also why they started to worry about Cheng De's arrival.

suddenly.

The door opened, and the seven people including Li Xiaoci who were waiting outside all looked over immediately.

They were all relieved when they found that Cheng De didn't seem to be different.

"Li Xiaoci, go get me something to eat." Cheng De looked at Li Xiaoci and said.

Li Xiaoci responded with a smile: "Okay, this subordinate will go get it now!"

Li Xiaoci left in a hurry.

"Wang Er, go and call Zhang Yu, He Wenhui, Ye Dui, and Lu Jiuqi."

When Wang Er heard Cheng De call his name, he hurriedly replied: "This subordinate obeys the order!"

Afterwards, Wang Er ran outside the general's mansion.

"Cheng Neng, follow my orders and go to the barracks outside the north gate of Hongze City. Let the captive camp and the three thousand battalions each have 1 people enter the city. Some of the troops went straight to the south gate of Hongze City to wait for orders, while the others stood still."

"Follow the order!" Cheng Neng responded, then rode a horse and headed straight for the barracks outside the north gate of Hongze City.

Cheng De nodded, and then looked at the remaining people: "Cheng Wu, Cheng Jing, Cheng Fan, Cheng Kong, the four of you go to the barracks to select 3000 elites. There are 3000 firecrackers, 2000 infantry, and 2000 crossbow soldiers. [-] soldiers and [-] cavalry. After the selection, let them stand by the shore of Hongze Lake."

"Follow the order!" Cheng Wu and the others responded.

Then, Cheng Wu and the others saluted Cheng De before leaving.
