Chapter 49 Officers and soldiers block the road

Lu Xiangsheng was stunned and a little choked. Over the years, in addition to being angry when he entered the defense, the generals in the army usually respect him very much. He really couldn't accept this unruly attitude, but he turned his head and looked at Li Qi, who was sitting in the corner of the carriage with a smile, and he had nothing to do. Yes, after all, he is not the former governor now. Why should the generals of the Xingtian Army obey his orders? Thinking of this, I didn't feel it. I shook my head and smiled, "This general Diao's temper is really not small!" Ha ha!

However, their method of compiling the people is really good. Although 100,000 people can't fight, there are also people who dispatch, and there will be no chaos! Maybe I'm a little too worried! That's all! It depends on how he does it! But is this General Diao still a little too big? That's all. Don't be in his position and don't plan his politics. Let's talk about it step by step!"

Lu Xiangsheng's understanding of today's emperor is naturally much deeper than Xiao Tianjian. Just as tens of thousands of people were led by Diao Zheng to march to Henan, the holy oracles were sent to the high hidden army and the government along the way through which the Xing Tianjun passed.

After Gao Qi took the order, he did not dare to neglect it. He almost said that he had not made an inch of achievements in the fight against the Tatar. The emperor can forgive him. After all, this is also the meaning of the emperor. Don't waste too much troops on the Tatar. Although he avoided the war and saved the troops, he would not be investigated for anything, but this time he After letting tens of thousands of people go to Henan by the Xing Tianjun, I'm afraid the emperor will not spare him. Naturally, he knows better than anyone about this point and following Chongzhen all year round.

So immediately after receiving the order, he ordered 20,000 troops, leaving some of the soldiers and horses to be stationed in the area of Shunde Prefecture. They were prepared to continue to go south, and rushed to Zhangde Prefecture day and night with nearly 20,000 troops. When he arrived in Guangping Prefecture, he learned that a large number of people had just left Cizhou under the escort of the Xingtian Army and were facing Zhang. He marched in the territory under the jurisdiction of Defu. Once he passes through Changdefu, these people will soon enter the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army. At that time, even if he wants to chase him, I'm afraid he will not be able to catch up.

Therefore, Gao Qi and Qian led his troops to Zhangde Mansion day and night. Along the way, they were so anxious that the officers and soldiers were not allowed to be a little sluggish at all, and they kept sending people to investigate the movements of tens of tens of thousands of people. Finally, at the end of the twelfth lunar month, they rushed to the Zhanghe River north of the month, blocking the way of the 100,000 people. .

Compared with the officers and soldiers, these people still have a lot of materials to be transferred back to the jurisdiction of Xingtian Army, so the speed can't be too fast. Therefore, once Gaoqi is determined to stop them, they have no chance to cross Zhangde Mansion in front of Gaoqi's submersible soldiers and horses.

However, the news that the Gaoqi Submarine Department arrived on the north bank of the Zhang River was soon detected by the scouts under Diao Zheng's command. In order to ensure the safety on the road, Diao Zheng sent almost all the scouts among the generals. Every day, the scouts went out to the 50 miles before the brigade to explore, so once a large number of officers and soldiers were found blocking the road in front. The scout immediately reported to Diao Zheng that when Diao Zheng learned that there were a large number of officers and soldiers blocking the way in front of him, he was still shocked. Thinking of Mr. Lu's reminder to him three days ago, he couldn't help sigh that Mr. Lu was really not an ordinary person. Unexpectedly, he expected that the officers and soldiers would send a large number of people to intercept them. Some people.

But now he has no way out. After all, the big talk has been said, and he has also promised Xiao Tianjian that he must safely escort these people and Mr. Lu back to the jurisdiction of Xing Tianjun, and now the official army is a little wrong. At that time, if it was a little later, let him enter the territory of Zhangdefu. Even if the officers and soldiers came to block him, he could choose to bring the people to the west to Huguan and enter the land of Jinnan. However, this time, the high rise and dive quickly blocked their way by the Zhanghe River. This is a little difficult to do, unless he Go back and wait for Xiao Tianjian to send troops to help. Otherwise, he can only break through the blockade of the officers and army on his own.

Fortunately, the scout found out the whereabouts of the officers and soldiers in advance and gave Diao some time to prepare. He even began to gather the management teams in the team and told the news to these management teams.

After hearing the news, the management teams at all levels were also scared. You should know that these people have experienced the ferocity of the officers and soldiers. Although the officers and soldiers are nominally officers and soldiers, in essence, they are not even as good as bandits and thieves. When dealing with these people, they even fight with Jiannu. Once they fall to these officials In the hands of the army, they will have bad luck again. The officers and soldiers will never be polite to them. Don't think about it when they are full. It is estimated that these officers and soldiers will grab them and drive them back to the north like ducks.

So the management team was very panicked and was at a loss for a moment. Some people even wanted to escape, but they were immediately stopped by Diao Zheng.

"Don't panic, everyone. I will be responsible for escorting you to the jurisdiction of our Xingtian Army. How can you wait to suffer the scourge of this official army again! Don't panic, let's mess up our own position first! Everything will be arranged by me, and I will be able to keep you sound!" Diao Zheng was also calm, and immediately shouted to the messy management teams in a low voice.

Under the roar of Diao Zheng, the management team had the backbone again. Along the way, the general of Xing Tianjun was good to their people, and also quite majestic. There were sporadic bandits and some officers and soldiers who wanted to rob them along the way were all killed and retreated by Diao Zheng, and more than two thousand Xingtian soldiers. The generals are also good men. The military discipline is strict, and each of them dares to use their lives. With Diao Zheng and the troops of the Xingtian Army, these people feel more confident.

So the team looked at Diao Zheng one after another and knelt down one by one to beg Diao Zheng to maintain their thoroughness. They were willing to listen to Diao Zheng's arrangements.

These people can't count on anything now. If they run, can they run past the officers and soldiers on horses? Once it disperses, it will become the flesh of the officers and soldiers, and they can only be slaughtered by them. It is better to hold a group and follow these good men of the Xingtian Army. If they can still have a way to live, and these management teams are also famous and courageous people among the people, and soon gradually stabilized.

After Diao Zheng looked around at the surrounding terrain, he immediately ordered the management teams: "At present, there are not many troops under the command of the general. We should pull out as much troops as possible to deal with these officers and soldiers, and you should take good care of your own troops. Don't let the people mess up first. Otherwise, with the general's strength, it is I can't maintain so many people. See, there is a village in the east. The big guys first take the people to the village as much as possible. The women, children and materials are concentrated in the village, while Ding Zhuang in the team stayed outside the village and immediately began to dig trenches on the spot and build low walls. In short, they should be here as soon as possible. I have the power to protect myself, so that I can wait for the soldiers of the Xingtian Army to free my hands to deal with these blocking officers and soldiers! It's not too late. It's time to do it now. And each team has to select some bold Ding Zhuang, distribute the weapons and other things in the team, and arm them. As the auxiliary soldiers of this general, guard here first. Don't let the officers and soldiers rush in. The general can free up and deal with this group of officers and soldiers!"

Some of the management teams are in charge of the 100-person team. Some are the battalion management team, and a small number of people are all management teams. The people who can become the management team are all some heroes in the north in those years, and even some people have secretly done the business of family robbery, so psychological quality. It's still quite good. With Diao Zheng's assignment, they know what to do, and among these people in the north, there are also some people who dare to work hard. They find some people to temporarily arm themselves. Although they can't be expected to kill the enemy, they can play a role more or less. Diao Zheng The crowd management team had no problem with this arrangement, so after getting the order, the crowd immediately began to go down to prepare.

As soon as the people heard that the officers and soldiers came to intercept them, they also panicked. Some people did not listen to the order and began to escape. However, under the strong persuasion of the management team, the vast majority of people still obeyed the arrangement and began to pull the car to the village designated by Diao Zheng.

At the same time, nearly 10,000 people did not listen to dissuasion, fled the team, and dispersed in all directions. Soon they began to see some officers and soldiers' cavalry appearing nearby in the distance. These wolf-like officers and soldiers did not care about their identity, and then began to rob the scattered people, and many people directly When they were trampled over or hacked to death, the human head was immediately cut off and became a reward for these officers and soldiers. Anyway, they were dealing with the Xingtian Army. The Xingtian Army was a thief, and the heads of the common people could be full of credit, which was equivalent to the credit for nothing. Immediately, the cry and screams of countless people sounded on the north bank of the Zhang River.

However, these officers and soldiers did not stop at night or are the striker. Before the main force arrived, they did not dare to kill the generals brazenly. The remaining nearly 100,000 people saw the ferocity of the officers and soldiers, so they broke the idea of escaping and followed their management team immediately rushed to the village. Women, children and supplies. Entering the village under the command of the soldiers of the Xingtian Army, Ding Zhuang and others began to take some tools on the spot and began to dig on the land crazily.

This scene of tens of thousands of people working at the same time is very impressive. This is to save their lives. No one will treat it as a play or be lazy. People with tools use tools to dig trenches. Without tools, they find something to install earth and walls. Tens of thousands of people work hard at the same time. The speed of work can be said to be a little confusing. He was overwhelmed, and the officers under his command were constantly dispatched in the middle, which made the progress of the project so fast that people were stunned.

But after all, the village is not big, and there are not so many people in it at all, so the outer defense line of the garrison is far away from the village, so that the whole camp is centered on the village, two or three miles away, and even catch up with the scale of a large city.
