Chapter 29 Risk Rejection

Let's say that Xu Tangju commanded the rebels and attacked Hangzhou with a thunderous momentum. After occupying Hangzhou, he took advantage of the victory to enter the army and then went down to Yuezhou. Qian Qian knew that he was invincible and withdrew his troops to Taizhou. Together with Jiang Gui, Cheng and his troops, he secretly discussed how to deal with the fifth village soldiers and horses.

Cheng Ji said, "Although Xu Tangju, a yellow nest thief, attacked Hangzhou and occupied Yuezhou, its old nest in western Zhejiang is empty. If Gao Yu is properly dispatched, he will definitely be able to occupy western Zhejiang and severely damage Xu Tangju's troops.

Since the defeat of Wuzhou and retreated to Taizhou, Jiang Gui has been unhappy. Now after listening to Chengzhi's words, he felt that there is hope for Gao Yu to recover from Wuzhou. He suddenly came to his mind and said, "General Cheng, Xu Tangju bravely crowned the three armies, and Fei Chuan Gu Zhimou is superior. This time, the three Tang soldiers surrounded Xu Tang Ju, and our army has lost Hangzhou and Yuezhou. Can Gao Yu defeat the thieves in western Zhejiang?

"Although Xu Tangju is brave and Fei Chuangu is also wise, but at present, the main force of Huangchao thief bandits is far away in southern Fujian, and the thief bandits are only tens of thousands of soldiers in Zhejiang. As long as the three Tang soldiers work together to pester them, they will definitely not be defeated. The chances of winning may still be very high!" Cheng and analysis.

Du Jing nodded: "General Cheng came from an official eunuch family. He is knowledgeable, calm and capable. The analysis just now is quite reasonable. Although the Eighth Metropolitan Army lost Hangzhou and Yuezhou, it did not actually lose much troops. As long as Gao Qian severely damaged the bandits in western Zhejiang, Xu Tangju is bound to return to help. At that time, the Eighth Metropolitan Army will be able to recover the lost land!"

Qian Qian stood up and said loudly, "I was deeply inspired by the words of Cheng Ji and Du Yu. Victory and defeat is a common thing for soldiers. The reason why the Eight Capital Army lost Hangyue was caused by Dong Chang's insistence. Now that the main civil and military personnel of the Eighth Metropolitan Army have been preserved, and there are talents, why worry about losing the land? From now on, we will expand military preparations in Taizhou and strengthen defense in military places. Send multiple ways to explore horses to collect intelligence. When Xu Tangju's main force returned to help western Zhejiang, the eight-du army agreed to raise troops in various towns in Zhejiang and recover Hangzhou and Vietnam!"

Dong Chang, Tang Yu, Yuan Yu, Cui Wen and Xu Xun took the 28,000 capital army and went straight to Muzhou. After conquering Zixi, they went all the way south, met the soldiers and horses of Pei Yu and Wang Ning, and went straight to the city of Muzhou, surrounded Muzhou and prepared to attack the city.

In Muzhou City, Zhu Zhiguan and Wang Zhixin urgently mobilized the military and civilians to work together to defend the city. Dong Chang and Pei Yu ordered the siege of the city, and the two sides launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle in Muzhou, killing and injuring each other countless times. The Tang army attacked for more than ten days in a row, and the city of Muzhou remained motionless and firmly in the hands of the army and civilians of Daqi.

Dong Chang came to Pei Yu's camp and met Pei Yu. The two discussed how to break the city.

"Lord Pei, our second-way soldiers and horses have been attacking for more than ten days. Thieves have defended the city well. Our army has suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, and we still can't take Muzhou. What do you think?" Dong Chang asked.

"This time, I ordered 30,000 Jianghuai soldiers, took out all my old capital, and joined forces to attack Muzhou with your army. Judging from the current war, relying on your and my troops, I want to capture Muzhou in a short time, which is a fantasy!" Pei Ying's eyes were deep and his face was tired.

"What should I do?" Dong Chang asked again.

When Pei Yu was about to answer, a personal soldier came in from outside the account and said in a panic, "Report to the two generals, it's not a big deal!" Xu Tangju took the opportunity of Dong Shuai to leave Hangzhou and led the main force of the thief to attack Hangzhou and defeat Yuezhou!"

"Ah?! That's my nest! Most of my money, food and supplies are in these two states. Oh, my God, this time they have all been robbed by the bandits!" Dong Chang screamed wildly in the army tent and burst into tears.

When Pei Yu saw Dong Chang's gaffe, he quickly comforted him and said, "Dong Shuai, be in a hurry! Hangzhou and Yuezhou have been lost, but aren't you still there? The Tang Dynasty is strong and fully capable of recovering. Don't worry!"

Dong Chang was reminded by Pei Qian, but he woke up and returned to normal. He asked his own soldiers, "How are Huang Jie and Qian Yong?"

The personal soldiers replied, "Please rest assured that Huang Jie and Qian Yu have led their troops to retreat safely. Huang Jie took Cui Yu to Mingzhou, and Qian Qian Qian led the troops to Taizhou and is actively preparing to counterattack and lose land."

"It is rare for Huang Jie and Qian Yong to respond randomly, leaving the capital of counterattack for the Eighth Metropolitan Army. When Hang Yue is recovered, I will reward them a lot!" Dong Chang took a long breath and felt much more relaxed.

Pei Yu said, "Dong Shuai, since you can't take Muzhou, I think it's better to divide troops to attack Wuzhou. What do you think?"

Dong Chang nodded: "Well, it's up to me to deal with the two bandits, Zhu Zhiguan and Wang Zhixin. You lead your troops to attack Wuzhou. As long as you take Wuzhou, Zhu Zhiguan and Wang Zhixin will definitely break their courage. At that time, you will transfer troops here and take Muzhou in one fell swoop!"

Dong Chang, who usually speaks stupidly, is actually a very smart general. Dong Chang was ruthless and resourceful at the same time. He was dedicated to the cause of kingdomy, and later supported the army to claim the emperor, which was the development of this idea. Just now, he asked Pei Yu to fight Wuzhou. He stood still outside Muzhou City, just to preserve his strength.

Pei Yu's idea is completely different from Dong Chang's. He only knows that he is dedicated to protecting Tang and being a loyal general, and has no idea of dominating one side at all. In his opinion, the Jianghuai soldiers and the Badu Army are both the armies of the Tang Dynasty. In the process of suppressing the Huangchao Uprising Army, they should serve the deployment of the command. Therefore, Dongchang made such a proposal, and Pei Ying agreed without saying a word.

After Pei Yu and Wang Ning led the troops away, Dong Chang adopted the strategy of besieging and not attacking Muzhou. In this way, the Eighth Metropolitan Army and the Daqi Army confronted each other in Muzhou, and no one could do anything about it.

Gao, Lv Yongzhi, Mijiang, Xue Tao, Liang Yu, Dou Mei and Song Wentong arrived in the area of Qianligang with 100,000 Tang troops. However, seeing that the terrain there was complex and mountains, the Tang army was disturbed by many volunteers day and night as if they had entered a maze. These are the plans of Gai Hong and Ye Xiang. They did not confront the main force of the Tang army. They wanted to drag down the Tang army and wait for Xu Tang Ju to lead the main force of the Rebel Army to return to Qianligang. At the same time, they sent envoys to Huang Chao and Yue Lingfei to ask for reinforcements.

100,000 Tang troops have been wandering in the valley of western Zhejiang for more than half a month without any progress. Gao Yu was very angry when he saw that the army was in urgent need, but he was at a loss.

At this time, Zhang Yu, Liang Yu and Zhang Shouyi's army also arrived in Quzhou and captured Quzhou, but found that the military supplies had already been transferred by the Rebels. Zhang Yu had no choice but to collect grain everywhere for military use. The hearts of the people in western Zhejiang are towards Daqi and unwilling to serve Gao Yu's army. In anger, Gao Yu arrested and killed some people indiscriminately. In some places, there were ten rooms and nine empty. The people fled into the mountains to pick wild fruits and fight wild animals for a living.

Zhang Min made a special trip to find Gao Qian and said bluntly to each other: "Gao Dutong, I heard that your subordinates indiscriminately killed the people of western Zhejiang. Is this possible?"

Gao Yu didn't dare to attack when he saw Zhang Yu's door to ask in person. Because Zhang Lin is the number one general under his command, he has strong martial arts, integrity and fire. Over the years, Gao Yu has won many battles with Zhang Yu's loyalty and courage, and his official position has risen step by step. Now he has become a recruiter in the Central Plains and Jiangnan, and there is naturally a great contribution to Zhang Yu.

"General Zhang, don't believe the rumors. Since I led the army to suppress the thieves in western Zhejiang, the military discipline is strict, and the soldiers dare not mess around!" Gao Yu tried his best to hide his inner uneasiness and squeezed out a smile.

"Fearing rumors? Humph, there is no wind and no waves. I have caught a few soldiers. After interrogation, they are Lv Yongzhi's subordinates. They not only robbed the property of the people in western Zhejiang, but also ** the people's women and killed the people at will. This is their confession!" After saying that, Zhang Yu angrily threw several confessions on Gao Yu's handsome case.

Gao Wei was shocked and looked at the confession. Suddenly, he sweated coldly and asked hesitantly, "General Zhang, that's the individual behavior of these soldiers, which has nothing to do with me. This is only because of my negligence in governing the army, which led to the emergence of these scum! I want to ask Lu Yongzhi!"

After a while, his own soldiers called Lv Yongzhi. Lv Yongyi entered the account and saw Zhang Yu's angry eyes and his heart trembled. Gao Yu shouted, "Lv Yongzhi, how dare you allow soldiers to rob the people's property at will and kill the people unjustly. How do you think you should deal with this matter?" After saying that, Gao Yu threw the confession at Lv Yongzhi's feet, looking righteous and awe-inspiring.

Lionzhi bent over and picked up the confession, glanced at it, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Gaodutong, it's wronged. Because the subordinate is busy organizing the encirclement and suppression of thieves in western Zhejiang, there are loopholes in the management soldiers. The subordinate will definitely correct it in time, take strict measures, and resolutely suppress this evil spirit! Please give the subordinates a chance, and I will definitely eliminate the scum in our barracks within ten days!"

Seeing this, Zhang Yu's tight face slowly relaxed.

Lv uses a personal essence. He is good at observing words and colors. When he meets the hard and soft, he meets the hard and hard. He is used to flattering, and is also good at rejecting dissidents. As the saying goes, Lv Yongzhi is definitely a master in this regard.

General Zhang is loyal and brave to the three armies, and he is proud of the world, and Lv respects him. Lu admired General Zhang's capture of the scum in our barracks. In order to be serious about military discipline, Lu will never tolerate adultery, and today he broke up in front of General Zhang. Come on, drag the scum that disturbs the people to the door, and I will ask and kill it in person!" Lu shouted with a shrill voice.

After a while, several soldiers of Lv Yongzhi, who were tied by Zhang's rope, squeezed into the door. Lv Yongzhi strode out, and Gao Yu, Zhang Yu and others also walked out of the tent to see how Lv Yongzhi sent down these trouble soldiers.

Lv Yongzhi cursed: "It's really unreasonable for you beasts to dare to disobey military orders, rob people's property, and kill people's lives! Today, Mr. Lu let you go of his private affairs. How can he tell the people of the world? How to communicate to the generals of the three armies? After saying that, he pulled his sword out of his sheath and walked step by step to the soldiers.

"Lord Lu, spare your life! The little one doesn't dare anymore! The tied soldiers shouted.

Lv Yongzhi couldn't help saying that he walked to the soldiers, waved his sword and cut them. In a blink of an eye, several heads fell to the ground, and blood splashed on the door.

Zhang Wei frowned slightly and closed his eyes slightly. Lv Yongzhi put his sword into the sheath, walked to Zhang Yu and said flatteringly, "General Zhang, it's up to you to deal with these heads of trouble with soldiers. In the future, if my subordinates violate the military order, they will be found by General Zhang. You don't need to inform me. You can deal with it immediately!"

"General Lv, as long as you control your subordinates, the last general will not be irresponsible for no reason. Say goodbye!" After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he turned over his horse and left.

"Zhang Yu, let's ride a donkey to read the song book and wait and see!" Looking at Zhang Yu's fading back, Lv Yongzhi said secretly in his heart.
