Chapter Thirty-Six Nights
Just like a naughty man, in broad daylight, Zhao Yu beat Fengyang General Huang Degong to severely deal with him. What if he was the general and his official position and his authority was high and powerful?
It is like such an oily soldier, which is useless to the country. When the prince cleans up the mountains and rivers and turns the world, such people must be cleaned.
Zhao Yu really doesn't take it seriously.
Even if there was a trace of resentment in Huang Degong's eyes, Zhao Yu ignored it. If he knew the appearance, he would have a few days to live. If he didn't know the appearance, his fate would come, and he would be beaten to death with his palms, which would save the prince's efforts in the future.
As for the following bullying, such as being ruthless, Zhao Yu didn't care about it. He didn't give him face, or even slapped him in the face, in Zhao Yu's opinion, this was natural. Huang Degong's face was not because he had a higher official title than Zhao Yu, but because Zhao Yu could look down on him. Even the big bosses in the cabinet department, Zhao Yu looked down on him, and did not give him face.
It is the time to turn the world upside down, everything is broken, overthrow the old, and welcome the new. What is a great rebellion? This is a great rebellion!
To put it bluntly, even if Zhao Yu doesn't like it, he will have no face to say.
It’s not that he doesn’t know how to be scheming, but he hates it from the bottom of his heart and feels it’s unnecessary. Now he has a 50,000 army under his command and is busy suppressing the thieves. How could he have the intention to bend around the heads of an oil-skinned soldier like Huang Degong?
When Huang Degong came, he was arrogant. In Zhao Yu's opinion, he was completely unaware of the so-called. If Huang Degong wants to show off his power, he has to show off his ability to convince Zhao Yu. What is killing good people and making achievements? This is the ability? Let the thief be close to him and dare not move. He has a heavy responsibility to guard the imperial tomb. It is too ridiculous to use this as an excuse.
The thief once dug up the imperial tomb, but now he is still gathering under his nose. If he doesn't kill him, what's the point?
Official title?
It's like this passing cloud!
Huang Degong was called Huang Chuang'er, saying that he was brave in war, but when Zhao Yu was knocked to the ground, he was so scared that he trembled. He said that he was brave, but he just didn't meet a fierce person like Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu ignored him and turned a blind eye. It seemed that he had knocked him to the ground before, just like patting the dust on his body, which was as if it didn't matter.
Zhao Yu looked at the sky and said to the left and right: "Are the troops of all units ready?"
Yang He was right next to him. Before, Yang He rushed over and saw Zhao Yu dealing with Huang Degong. He wanted to speak but stopped, thinking that this was not good. Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Yu spoke first.
Hearing this, he looked a little more: "Everything is ready."
He also looked at Huang Degong, who was soft on the side.
Zhao Yu nodded: "That's good. As soon as the sky comes, I'll set off immediately."
"yes."
Zhao Yu turned around and returned to the tent.
The humiliation in Huang Degong's eyes almost turned into substance, with hatred and resentment. Until Zhao Yu entered the tent and could no longer see it, he was slowly getting up, his face was dark, his head lowered, and he didn't dare to see anyone, and he staggered out.
Yang He looked at Huang Degong and left, saying to the left and right: "I told the team not to stop at night and monitor the Fengyang General Army's headquarters. If there is any abnormal movement, I will report it immediately."
"yes."
Yang He sighed slightly in his heart, then opened the tent door and walked in.
"General."
Yang He bowed slightly and said seriously: "The general is too strong today."
Zhao Yu raised his head, signaled Yang He to sit down, and smiled and said, "Why do you need to be so vain to such a slutty soldier? The battle here is about to begin, and I don't have time to talk to him."
Yang He said: "After that being said, Huang Degong is the general of a town after all, and he holds a lot of people in his hand. I know he can't get the general's eyes, but even if he doesn't like him, at this moment, he won't offend him. Such a person cannot do big things, and he still has the ability to ruin big things."
Zhao Yu laughed: "I know what you mean. But I just don't want to deal with such a scum. If he dares to make a mistake, I will kill him."
Yang He smiled bitterly.
He had no choice but to say: "I have ordered Ye not to take charge of Fengyang."
Zhao Yu smiled and said, "You should think carefully."
Then he said, "It's going to be dark, at most an hour. If you want to fight with the army at night, you can go and rest first to nourish your spirits."
Yang He thanked him and stepped down.
After an hour, the sky became completely dark. Under the leadership of each general, the army of various troops quietly left the camp and, under the guidance of the guide, rushed straight to Huoqiu along the assigned marching routes.
After a moment, the huge military camp was empty, and there was no one except for a little fire.
Zhao Yu led 10,000 troops to the center and headed straight for Shouzhou. The army extinguished the torches, wrapped the horse's hooves in line with linen, and tried his best to make it silent.
The marching at night was not rigged, and the 50,000 troops under Zhao Yu had already adapted slightly. He came from Liaodong and was trained at night.
But after all, it is not a real elite soldier, and the possibility of falling behind cannot be eliminated.
Zhao Yu had already given instructions on this point, saying that he was left behind, and one was punished and ten whips were given. The other was ordered to continue to run to Shouzhou and join the army.
Along the way, Zhao Yu and Yang He rode their horses in front. The guide was right next to him.
This guide was not the people who were sought by nothing. Instead, Zhao Gongming had prepared a proper person in Fengyang's business. He knew a lot of information about the terrain of Fengyang Mansion.
"Shouzhou City fell into the hands of the thief of Gezuo last year. Because Shouzhou is too close to Fengyang, it often conflicts with the official army. Therefore, this Shouzhou, the Fifth Camp of Gezuo took turns to guard the troops."
The guide is like this.
Zhao Yu nodded slightly and smiled: "The thieves are thieves, after all, they are bandits. It is said that they are united together because the court puts them too much pressure. In essence, they still have their own wishes to guard the country, which is nothing more than to preserve their strength."
Yang He echoed: "The general is right. Shouzhou is right in front of Fengyang, closest to Fengyang General. If the court orders to attack Shouzhou, the bandits will be slick, who is willing to fight head-on with the official army? Taking turns to guard is nothing more than mutual compromise between bandits."
Zhao Yu asked the guide: "Which battalion of thieves in Shouzhou right now?"
"Old Hui Hui horses are the leader of the five thieves in the Governors. They are the most powerful. They have three thousand old camps under their command, all of which are one-man and two-horse horse teams. They are extremely fierce. Huang Degong's troops have also fought with Lao Hui, but they have not obtained any advantage."
"Old camp?" Zhao Yu said: "Is it the old thief among the thieves?"
The guide nodded: "That's right. The thieves will capture the victims. Whenever they attack cities and villages, they will use the victims as their driving force and fill in their lives. Those who are lucky enough to die, have seen blood, killed people, and arouse animal nature, will be filled into the old camp, which is the elite."
"But most of them are still old bandits who have been old. They are like those who use wooden sticks and hoes to attack the city. They can survive in the first battle, but they are not guaranteed in World War II. There are a few people like this."
After hearing this, Zhao Yu deeply agreed.
He couldn't help but sneer: "It's said that he was a thief, but he didn't humiliate these thieves. Apart from deserters, he was mostly bandits with years of age. He killed people like hell, treating the people as grass. He had no way of doing anything except destruction."
Then he said to Yang He beside him, "It is like this old camp, and all of them must be wiped out, and no one can be left. Otherwise, one will be left behind, which will be a disaster."
Before Yang He could speak, the guide said, "General needs to be more cautious."
Zhao Yu was stunned, looked at Yang He and laughed together.
This guide may not have never heard of Zhao Yu's reputation, but he heard it as false, after all, it is not as convincing as seeing it. I am afraid that it is like Huang Degong, and it is just a rumor.
But he didn't know that Zhao Yu was slaughtering the Tartar cavalry and cutting melons and vegetables. What is the mere thief who is an old camp?
Not much explanation.
Nothing to say along the way.
Huai is only a hundred miles away from Shouzhou. It is no longer difficult to travel hundreds of miles at night for these soldiers under Zhao Yu. When he came from Liaodong, he did not march for hundreds of miles a night?
Seeing Shouzhou in sight, the sky was about to be bright.
Zhao Yu rushed his army to stop.
"Send the order and make the soldiers eat and drink for a moment, and wait for my order."
"yes."
So the army took advantage of the woods and the night before dawn to repair and not mention it.
The so-called "smartial speed" is important. It is not just in the process of marching or attacking. Whether you eat, drink, defecate, or urinate, you must also pay attention to speed. Speed is not achieved by saying it. It is this habit of ordinary people that can create speed in wartime.
For a moment, for the soldiers under Zhao Yu, after eating, drinking, and urinating, they could squint their eyes and rest for a while.
Soon, the sky came and it was bright.
Zhao Yu's military order has come down.
In a 10,000 army, Zhao Yu led 1,100 people. One hundred of them were Zhao Yu's personal soldiers and cavalry led by Commander Zhang. The other nine thousand people were divided into three divisions, and they were handed over to the three generals and the two officers were directly commanded, and Yang He was in the middle to coordinate.
There are only two city gates in Shouzhou, one east and one west.
Zhao Yu's tactics were very direct. First, two units had three thousand soldiers and horses each, one detoured by the west gate to block the way out, and the other set up an ambush at the east gate.
With three thousand left, the center will be in the middle to respond. Wherever there is a problem, the three thousand men will go wherever they are.
As for Zhao Yu, he led 1,100 elite troops, broke through the city gate, and rushed into the city.
The geographical location of Shouzhou City is actually easy to defend but difficult to attack. Outside the east of the city, there is a mud, which is not easy if a large army attacks. Outside the west of the city, there are mountains and forests. Once the bandits escape from the west of the city and enter the mountains and forests, it will be difficult to pursue.
Therefore, the two armies that blocked the door set up ambush outside the mud at the east gate. When Zhao Yu entered the city, there were bandits who escaped from the east gate and attacked them with bows and arrows and firearms from afar. Instead, the disadvantages of the mud at the east gate became a favorable condition.
At the west gate, you should block the door directly and make sure that the thieves do not flee into the mountains and forests.
After everything is right, the sky is about to rise.
However, it was late autumn and early winter, and there was water frost and thick fog, which was also a good thing.
At roughly the hour of Mao, all the troops were in their positions.
Zhao Yu lifted the iron cone from the carriage and turned over the horse's back. Behind him, one hundred elite cavalry and one thousand elite soldiers were fully prepared.
Zhao Yu put on his helmet and shouted: "Remember the command of this general: the road in the east of the city is narrow, the mud is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the elite cavalry follows me, and the infantry waits for the general to break through the city gate, and when the bandits are in chaos, then come!"
"Here!"
