First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 477

To tell a cold joke, Chahan Timur and Liu Futong are from the same town.

Liu Futong is a native of Yingzhou, and the ancestral home of Timur in Chahan is Bishibali, but his father Aluwen moved to Yingzhou early, and Chahan was also born in Yingzhou.

Liu Futong initially followed Han Shantong's teaching, and his subordinates were mostly soldiers in the area of ​​Yingzhou.

Coincidentally, Chahan Timur also gathered a group of landlord armed forces in Yingzhou and other places to join the ranks of suppressing the Red Turban Army.

The core backbone of the hostile sides turned out to be people from the same place.

The two sides have been fighting to the death for ten years, maybe they are neighbors of each other.

Now Liu Futong has chosen to commit suicide, and in a heroic way, the curtain has come to an end.

"Those brave warriors who took up arms and resisted the Yuan court, who were unyielding and unyielding, died heavier than Mount Tai. The beasts who were willing to be the eagles and dogs for the Yuan court, only for personal glory and wealth, died lighter than a feather. Han Timur chose to work hard for the Yuan court, brutally slaughtered the red scarves, and started to kill the people, he is doomed to be infamous forever!"

Zhang Ximeng picked up his pen while waiting for the war to start.

How to draw a conclusion for Liu Futong, and how to interpret this decisive battle in the Central Plains... Zhang Ximeng, after deliberation, decided to put this pair of old enemies together and write a good article.

Who is right, who is wrong, who is hero, who is ugly... Liu Futong and Han Song, relying on the idea of ​​helping the people, grew stronger, but because they forgot the people, they went into decline.

Chahan Timur, from beginning to end, was a lackey of the Yuan court, so it was not Chahan Timur who defeated Liu Futong, but Liu Futong himself who defeated himself.

The warrior who once stood up for the people has become a villain who disregards the life and death of the people. Naturally, he will die... But we should not forget his bravery and ambition.

Don't forget the original intention, stick to the end, Fang De has always been!

Zhang Ximeng trembled directly, and his thoughts flowed like a spring, and soon a general article was written... If fighting a war was as easy as writing an article, how wonderful it would be!

The only question that remains now is whether Chahan can be killed, if he is captured, or killed... and then the article is published through the newspaper to let the world know, then the effect will be full.

Chahan still doesn't know that Zhang Ximeng made a fuss about him, saying that he died lighter than a feather... In fact, Chahan didn't see himself that way. He felt that although he moved to Shanxi, Hebei and other places in recent years, he was from Yingzhou after all. It was again in Xinyang to pull up troops and horses, fight against the Red Scarf in Runing and other places, and develop and grow all the way to today.

Therefore, Chahan estimates that even if the elders in his hometown have some complaints, he will not turn his face ruthlessly.

As long as the troops and horses are sent over, they should be able to win people's hearts and march smoothly... Just as Wang Baobao imagined, he would enter the hinterland of Henan, turn eastward, threaten Xuzhou and other places, and force Zhu Yuanzhang to withdraw his troops.

The plan was perfect, but the first step failed.

Chahan dispatched his confidant Li Keyi to lead more than 20,000 cavalry troops from Zhengzhou to the south, heading straight for Xinzheng, and then to Xuzhou, Yingzhou and other places to make an extreme detour and disturb Zhu Yuanzhang's rear.

Anyway, there aren't many Ming troops here, so it's not easy to come and go...

But Chahan and Li Keyi both thought wrong. From Zhengzhou to the south, everywhere they passed was a wilderness, with no end in sight. The roadside fields were barren and there were few trees.

In the fertile soil of the Central Plains, yellow sand is blowing everywhere, and in spring, yellow is mostly and green is rare.

Years of wars and chaos have battered the Central Plains to the point where the population is withered and the land is desolate.

Coupled with the flooding of the Yellow River from time to time, sandstorms, salinity, and locust plagues have ravaged this troubled land in turn.

It was completely different from when Chahan set off many years ago.

Li Keyi frowned more and more as he walked, not to mention the slaughtering pot, because there was no team to welcome Master Wang, and even the common people couldn't see one, how could they fight?

He reluctantly walked south for a while and left the main battlefield. Finally, he saw the smoke from the cooking. Li Keyi immediately rushed over... But when they arrived, there was no one in the village, and the stove was still hot, but the pot had been washed away. Back away, not to mention food or something.

The Yuan army just found a water well, and some Yuan army were too thirsty, so they poured water into the well.

But soon there was a large amount of poisoning, vomiting and diarrhea, and mourning.

Li Keyi had to order, not to drink water casually.

Only drink mare milk.

Ironically, the Mongolian cavalry relied on this trick to travel thousands of miles and destroy countless countries. But today's Mongolian soldiers, although they can drink some occasionally, but they can't stand it for a long time.

The morale of the army fell rapidly.

Li Keyi had no choice but to bite the bullet and move on.

Fortunately, after walking out for a while, the river network became denser and denser, and it seemed that drinking water was no longer a problem. But these rivers do not have a bridge.

Even if there is, it has been destroyed.

The boats by the river also disappeared, and in some places, the black charcoal after being burned can even be seen... Seeing this, Li Keyi's body was cold, and he gradually understood.

It is indeed sparsely populated, but by no means alone.

But someone took the common people away, leaving only a white field.

Who did it?

Is it Han Song? They have perished.

Is it Daming? How did they do it in such a short time?

Could it be that you walk too much at night and meet a ghost?

Li Keyi hurriedly sent people to search around, trying to catch a few ordinary people and ask them to understand. As a result, people spread it out, and it took a long time to bring back a few old, weak, sick, and some with healthy limbs, but they were still fools.

Asked for a long time, but also do not understand the answer.

It made Li Keyi almost die.

The original plan was to quickly attack and hit Huanglong, but the old cow pulled the car and walked out for three days, less than 150 miles away.

With this marching speed, they still want to copy the Ming army's back path. I'm afraid that when they reach Xuzhou and other places, the decisive battle will be over long ago.

Li Keyi also wanted to hurry up, so he could only keep urging his subordinates. But helplessly, the subordinates are unwilling to go deeper and deeper into the hinterland of the Ming army. What if they are ambushed?

Is Master Pingzhang planning to use us as bait and send us out, and then he will safely withdraw to the north? If so, we will not agree!

Moreover, fighting is to make a fortune. Where can you go to loot in this deserted place?

If you can't loot, what kind of war is there?

Li Keyi was getting more and more headaches. After all, the so-called landlord armed is a bunch of grass-headed kings gathered together, and Chahan Timur is just the general leader of the alliance.

With the defeat in the battlefield, Cha Han was determined to return north, but he was undecided... As a result, the people below were panicked and had their own thoughts. Under such circumstances, wanting to make a long-distance attack and sneak attack on the Ming army is really overestimating oneself.

Li Keyi planned to explain the situation to Chahan and ask Chahan Timur's meaning.

But before he could send the letter out, Yuan Jun, who was sleeping in the camp, suddenly heard gongs and drums all over the world, shouting to kill Zhentian.

I hurriedly sent someone out, but in the end, I found nothing, just picked up a broken pot.

Who is this?

How dare you disturb our rest?

Li Keyi's face was ashen, and he shattered the pot with one kick, but he was only incompetent and furious.

Turn around and continue to advance, the exhausted Yuan army has walked less than thirty miles.

On the second night, it was still the same, and it was divided into two batches, one in the first half of the night and one in the second half of the night. I don't know where to get the gunpowder.

Packed in a bamboo tube and fired at the Yuan army camp, it also caused several fires and burned several Yuan soldiers.

Next, the water sources were poisoned, pits were dug on the roads, the scattered Yuan troops were attacked, arrows were fired, traps were set, iron caltrops were thrown, and animal traps were set up... All in all, all the means came up, and they became more and more expensive and endless.

As a result, Yuan Jun could not eat or sleep well, went up and down, his morale was low, and he was no longer willing to take a step forward.

Li Keyi saw it in his eyes, and was anxious in his heart. He felt that he had to retreat. If it continued like this, it would not be long before the Ming army made a move, and they would collapse.

Gradually, Li Keyi also understood.

Facing Han Song, it may be useful to play this kind of long-distance raid and attack the hinterland.

But their opponents are the Ming army, the people who are organized from top to bottom, all of them are united, how can they give them so many opportunities?

Don't look at the loss, but every step is bumpy, and every step is full of hardships.

If you don't even see what the enemy is like, you have already lost a lot of money. How can you fight this?

Must be ready to retreat,

But while Li Keyi was waiting for Chahan's order, the local militiamen were not satisfied but only harassed and delayed. They also took the initiative to find the Ming army, hoping to ask the Ming army to take action and attack the enemy.

Since Wang Bi and Zheng Yuchun were still in the direction of Kaifeng, they were still a little far from here.

The news was delivered to Feng Guoyong first.

"The Yuan army actually sent people south?"

Feng Guoyong informed Feng Guosheng, Deng Yu, Ding Pulang and others about the situation. Let the big guys discuss it, what should we do?

At this time, Feng Guosheng was the first to speak: "Captain, although there are many Yuan troops, they are not endless. When they send troops to the south, the rear will be empty... I suggest that we bypass Ruzhou and send a partial division to take down Xiangcheng first. ... After taking Xiangcheng, Xuzhou will come to the mouth. The Yuan army going south will definitely return to help, and the Guanbao of Ruzhou will also be restless. At that time, the army will come out and attack Ruzhou fiercely, and the Yuan Dynasty in Henan will be completely uneasy. The army will tremble and panic, and we will have a little more chance of winning."

After listening to his brother Feng Guosheng's words, Feng Guoyong looked at the map again, and immediately felt that what he said was reasonable, and he was happy in his heart.

The Ming army put the main force in Hebei, but did not expect that it turned out to be the direction of Henan. The first opportunity appeared... I have to say that the battlefield is really changing and unpredictable.

After discussing with a few people, Feng Guoyong resolutely agreed with Feng Guosheng's suggestion, and selected 5,000 people, and handed over the most elite miner siege team to Feng Guosheng.

They set off at once, armed with sufficient gunpowder.

Feng Guosheng held his breath for a long time, and finally waited for the opportunity. He led the troops and horses and quickly rushed to Xiangcheng... If Li Keyi was still in the direction of Zhengzhou, even if Xiangcheng was lost, he could send cavalry to block it.

But now he has approached Runing, exposing his weakness to the Ming army.

"Give me a siege!"

Just in the wave-like siege tide, the miners successfully approached Xiangcheng and buried the gunpowder under the city wall... Then, a loud bang, the city wall was blown open. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Xiangcheng, which had less than 3,000 defenders, fell into Feng Guosheng's hands just like that.

And Feng Guosheng is really a fierce tiger, he almost non-stop, went straight to Xuzhou, caught off guard, Xuzhou also fell into Feng Guosheng's hands... The entire front of the Henan Yuan army was brutally torn open.

The successive victories made Feng Guosheng so proud that he did not care about Li Keyi who was heading south, but instead took the army to Xinzheng.

Here we are slashing and sing-along. Feng Guoyong, Ding Pulang, and Deng Yu each led their troops to attack Ruzhou... Guan Bao was defeated and led the remnants to flee.

Ruzhou changed hands!

Great victory in Henan!
