Chapter 19 People are not drunk

The generals of the Rebel villages acted quickly in accordance with the strategic deployment announced by Huang Chao at the Hongzhou Conference. Yue Lingfei, Wen Ying and Lu Qi led more than 50,000 horses from Hongzhou and west into Yuezhou. A few days later, the leading troops of the fourth village arrived in Yuezhou under the leadership of Wen Ying and Lu Qi. Wang Chongyin, Xu Tangju, Fei Chuangu, Liu Ying, Chang Hong, Wang Mei and other volunteer generals received the report of the volunteers defending the city, opened the gate and let the people of Luqi enter the city.

Lu Qi handed over Huang Chao's handwritten letter to Wang Chongyin. Wang Chongyin opened it and knew that Huang Chao's main force had arrived in Hongzhou and was ready to implement the strategy in the south of the Yangtze River. He quickly ordered him and Xu Tangju to lead his troops east into Hongzhou, meet Cao Shixiong's men and horses, attack Xuanzhou and Runzhou, and cooperate with the main force of the volunteer army to fight in the south of the Yangtze River.

After reading the letter, Wang Chongyin gave it to Xu Tangju and other generals. After reading it, the generals began to discuss. Xu Tangju said, "Brother Huang Chao must have made this strategic deployment thoughtfully. The Qi army must act under the unified command of Brother Huang Chao, so I firmly support Brother Huang's decision.

The generals have expressed their support for Huang Chao's strategic deployment.

Fei Chuangu said: "Since General Huang Chao has decided on this development strategy, we can only obey the implementation unconditionally. However, at present, the Dongting Lake Rebels are scattered everywhere, and it will take a little time to change the defense with the troops of General Yue Lingfei, the fourth village of the Rebel Army. I estimate that it will take about ten days. The generals used this time to settle their families. Those who are willing to act with the army should take them with them; those who are unwilling to leave should leave enough living materials.

Wang Chongyin smiled and said, "We are very rich in this big move. At present, the Dongting Lake area is under our control, and the supply of materials is not tight. Therefore, we must prepare strategic materials to attack Xuanzhou and Runzhou and prepare for long-term operations.

Fei Chuangu nodded: "What Chongyin said is that if our army attacks Xuanzhou and Runzhou in a bad situation, we can consider advancing to western Zhejiang, which can effectively respond to the further actions of the main force of the righteous division in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, we must prepare more for this heavy grain and fodder."

Two days later, Yue Lingfei led a large army to Yuezhou. Wang Chongyin and Xu Tangju set up wine in Yuezhou to entertain the fourth village soldiers of the Rebel Army. The Rebel soldiers were in high spirits, and the people helped the old and the young to watch these two benevolent and righteous teachers. The military and the people are happy together, so I won't elaborate on it.

After the second army changed its defense, Wang Chongyin, Xu Tangju, Fei Chuangu and others led selected 50,000 volunteers to carry a large number of heavy materials and marched to Hongzhou. The local volunteers who did not accompany them were under the jurisdiction of Yue Lingfei, the fourth village.

After Wang Chongyin led his troops to leave, Yue Lingfei sent a messenger Pegasus to Sanshan and notified Meng Kai and Zhao Zhang to quickly cross the south of the Yangtze River and meet in Yuezhou to discuss the attack on Jizhou and Qianzhou. Meng Kai and Zhao Zhang met the messengers and knew that Huang Chao's army had arrived in Hongzhou and made a deployment to march south of the Yangtze River. They quickly handed over the defense of the mountain to Huang Siye. The two gathered their troops to start in the direction of Yuezhou.

Huang Siye, Lu Jingren, Wang Ying, Bi Shiduo and Meng Kai, Huang Kui, Zhao Zhang, Zhu Cun, Zhu Wen and others said goodbye at the gate of the ��ya village. Meng Kai said, "Si Ye, Jing Ren, the burden of��yashan is picked up by the third village. I'm going to Yuezhou and Lingfei to meet and prepare to attack Jizhou and Qianzhou. The base of the Rebel Army must be firmly guarded, and this strategic place cannot be occupied by Li Tang. If Li Tang's army comes to encircle and suppress it, you really can't stand it. You must cross the river to inform us, and we will send troops to reinforce in time.

Huang Siye nodded: "Brother Meng Kai is right. I will do what you say to ensure that the base of the mountain is foolproof!"

Meng Kai smiled and said, "Then I will safely lead the troops to the south of the Yangtze River. When the south of the Yangtze River is pacified, we will join forces to destroy Li Tangren and horses led by Zhang Zimian."

After Meng Kai finished speaking, he turned over and said loudly, "The whole army is out and marching towards Yuezhou!"

The rebels rolled through the mountains under the leadership of Meng Kai, Huang Kui and Zhao Zhang, and quickly moved forward in the direction of Yuezhou. Soon, the first village and the fourth village of the rebels met victoriously in Yuezhou. Meng Kai and Yue Lingfei embraced and celebrated the meeting of the two armies. The soldiers of the two villages greeted each other and quickly got together.

Meng Kai and Yue Lingfei immediately notified the main generals of Erzhai to hold a centralized meeting to study the action plan. After a heated discussion, Meng Kai and Yue Lingfei decided to expand their troops in the area of Dongting Lake to prepare for war, raise strategic materials, and prepare to attack Jizhou and Qianzhou. They only waited for Huang Chao's attack order to issue.

It is said that Wang Chongyin and Xu Tangju led the main force of the 50,000 righteous army, traveled at night, hid eastward, and soon arrived in Hongzhou, and met with Cao Shixiong's men and horses. When Huang Chao heard that Wang Chongyin and Xu Tangju's people had arrived, he ordered to kill pigs and cattle, and set up wine to celebrate the Rebel Army.

Huang Chao, Sun Mei, Chai Cun, Shang Rang, Kang Shiming and other generals and Cao Min, Lin Yan, Qiao Qi, Niu Feng, Li Hanzhi and other second village generals gathered in the Hongzhou government banquet hall, and the main generals of the fifth village of the Rebel Village, Cao Shixiong, Wang Chongyin, Xu Tangju, Gai Hong, Fei Chuangu, Liu Ying, Chang Hong, Wang Mei and others to drink happily. , tell each other about the feeling of parting.

Huang Chao, Chai Cun and Cao Shixiong and other fifth village generals specially drank at a table. Huang Chao said, "This time, the fifth village of the Rebels rushed to Xuanzhou and Runzhou, which is related to the overall strategic layout of the Rebels in the south of the Yangtze River, which is not small. I believe that under the leadership of Shi Xiong, Chongyin and Tang Ju, the Fifth Zhai Expeditionary Force will definitely win and create a new situation of uprising.

Wang Chongyin drank several large bowls of water and wine, wiped his mouth, and shouted, "I haven't drunk with Brother Huang Chao for a long time. Today is really happy. Since we started our army, we have fought a lot of hard battles, and we finally have a new atmosphere today. I'm really happy! From now on, no matter which Li Tangfang Town, as long as you hear the name of our Rebels, hear Brother Huang, hear the owners of the Rebels, and hear Da Qi, your legs will be weak and you can't sleep at night, hahaha!"

The generals laughed, and Huang Chao said to Xu Tangju with a smile, "Tang Ju, you have to introduce your new wife!" I haven't had your wedding wine yet, hehe!"

Xu Tangju lowered his head shyly and said with a red face, "Brother Huang, Tang Ju is rude. I will specially invite you and other brothers and sisters to come to my camp to make up for the wedding wine next day."

Liu Ying stood up generously with her wine glass and said, "Brother Huang Chao, Tang Ju said that he would invite you to make up for the wedding wine the next day. I'm against it! Liu Ying will toast you three cups today, which is a tonic wedding wine! I will drink three bowls first, and then Brother Huang Chao will also drink three bowls!" After saying that, Liu Ying raised her neck and drank three bowls in one breath. Her face did not blush and her heart did not beat. She was relieved and looked at Huang Chao.

Huang Chao had to stand up and drank three bowls in a row. There was some blush on his face. He said with two big fingers, "Women should not let their eyebrows. Liu Ying is good. Tang Ju, I wish you marry a heroine, hehe!"

The generals persuaded them to drink one after another, and one ** was set off at the banquet. It was really not drunk and everyone was drunk. This banquet lasted for five or six hours before stopping the banquet.

Cao Shixiong and other fifth village generals came to their barracks. At this time, a hook of the remnant moon hung in the sky, which looked extremely cold. Cao Shixiong looked at the remnant moon and said, "The war is approaching. Everyone should prepare for the expedition. This long-distance roundabout attack must make the reputation of the fifth village of the Rebels!"
