When Chai Kehong returns at night, he suddenly hears a letter from his mother. He hurriedly read the lamp.
If there is anyone in this world who Chai Kehong dare not despise and respect, it is his mother. The mother's description of a woman can have a great influence on Chai Kehong.
Before the enlistment of Wu Yueguo, Chai Kehong was not well-known, and many ministers did not trust him. But Chai’s mother wrote a letter, saying that her son can lead soldiers to become military commanders. If she does not do well, she is willing to bear the death penalty with her son...
Chai Kehong hurriedly finished reading the letter written by his mother, and was immediately surprised.
The content is completely opposite to the previous encouragement, and he even suspects it is hypocritical! But double-checking it again, the handwriting and language are indeed Chai Mu. Can't even tell the letter written by his mother? Chai Kehong can still judge this.
Mother Chai persuaded him to pretend to be sick, not to accept Haozhou's military power, and the rapids to retreat! She said that you are now too famous and the emperor and the soldiers and civilians of Southern Tang have too high expectations. Once you encounter setbacks, you will not be able to bear the consequences; it is not only the honor and disgrace of the individual and the family, but also the rise and fall of the Southern Tang and hundreds of thousands of soldiers Morale. You cannot afford such a big responsibility alone.
Besides, because of his great military skills, his son has risen too fast, and he hasn't had enough experience. Now there are nearly 100,000 troops in Haozhou, and he is out of his son's ability. Your father used to say that an army of ten thousand people can take it by accident, but one hundred thousand people can only win with righteousness. Your abilities and the combat effectiveness of the Southern Tang Army are not enough to take on such a heavy responsibility... In case of failure, you will be ashamed of the gift and trust the emperor has given you.
If Haozhou was defeated not by you, but by a general who was not loved and high hoped by the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty: only one state was lost, not the morale of the entire Southern Tang army.
After reading the letter, Chai Kehong was deeply shocked and unhappy.
He thought about it all night, then regained his pride the next day, and did not intend to follow his mother's advice. When Chai Kehong summoned the generals, he said: "I caught Zhou Jun scouts, and the people who came were the two sides of the Tiger Jiejun left and right. The right side was the school Zhao Chao, so he started with this man."
The generals are puzzled and are busy asking the reason.
Chai Kehong sneered: "Zhengyang was defeated a few months ago, and over 3000 people were killed. The captives were handed over to Zhao Chao, and he massacred them all that night. This man was bloodthirsty, but I have millions of soldiers and civilians in the Southern Tang State. , Can he finish it?
There were hundreds of thousands of farming soldiers in Shouzhou and Haozhou. However, due to improper management of the imperial court officials, these people surrendered immediately after the entry of the Zhou army and welcomed the payment. Let these soldiers understand the cruel nature of the Zhou army and arouse their resistance; in this way, the tens of thousands of the Zhou army in Haozhou will not only face the 50,000 people in Haozhou City, but hundreds of thousands of menacing men. uprising! Zhao Chao is the breakthrough point. "
Speaking of this, Chai Kehong has completely abandoned the unhappiness of last night, and laughed: "At that time, countless Nantang Erlangs will harass his food passage, outposts, and scouts, and Zhou Jun will be trapped in Haozhou.
The war was in chaos in various places, and the Zhou army was laboring for a long time, and the food supply was inadequate and transportation was even more difficult. I will deploy city defense again, guard Haozhou strictly, and delay the fatigue of the army. When you find a fighter, you must break the Zhou army! "
The generals worshipped.
Chai Kehong deployed the city defense of Haozhou. First, he strengthened the defense of the city wall and recruited the officials who built the city wall to inspect the foundation and Feng Shui of the city wall in detail.
Chai Kehong once sent someone to observe the gap in Shouzhou and knew that the city wall was blown up by gunpowder buried in the tunnel... How did Zhou Jun blow up the city wall, no one can figure it out, but the situation is that the city wall can be blown up ; Chai Kerong specifically investigated and deployed Haozhou city defense in response to this matter.
His plan is to echo Haozhou and Nantang Yijun inside and outside, spending a year and a half with Zhou Jun here, or one or two years. Therefore, there is great hope for Haozhou City to stick to it.
What if the city wall was breached somewhere? Very good, surprise is really a magic weapon for Chai Kerong to cover his deficiencies.
Chai Kehong and his generals said: "Since ancient times, I have defended the city and have no knowledge of street fighting. Today I am going the other way, deploying ambushes in the city; Zhou Jun will go to the city gates and the central cross when entering the city from somewhere. The avenue. At that time, the cannons will be fired, the smoke will be the conflagration, and then the elite soldiers will break it down. Counterattack the city wall and repeatedly fight. Haozhou City will not become scorched earth. Don't want to capture this city!"
He thought about it for a while and laughed: "I have another trick, I will tell you later."
……
Lu Mengjun and Chai Kehong served at Haozhou at the same time. He was the military envoy and the deputy general of Chai Kehong.
Shi Zhoujun Luo Yanhuan was the first striker to enter the territory of Haozhou and sent out scouts to inquire about intelligence. A scout pretended to be a commoner and went deep into the Tang Army controlled area. Unexpectedly, the accent was not consistent and was spotted, so he rode back and ran wildly.
The horse's leg was injured on the road, and the scout had no choice but to kill the horse and hurriedly cover it with straw, and hid in a household.
The scout was spotted by a young couple in the wood shed, and knelt down anxiously, begging. He said that he escaped to Huainan after being chased by the enemy, and he would die miserably if caught.
The young woman saw that this scout was so young and tall that she was very strong. This was a strong labor force capable of supporting a family. What a pity she died! With sympathy, the woman persuaded her husband to save his life.
My husband knows that Huainan is suffering from military disasters. This person may have a northern accent as Zhou Jun's scout... But in the eyes of ordinary people, Zhou Jun and Tang Jun are almost the same, and they are all Han Chinese anyway. Rescue a hero in times of crisis, but he became loyal. In spite of the opposition of his parents, the husband hid the scout in the cellar and delivered food and water.
Zhou Jun's scout was grateful to Dade, asked the name of the family, cursed and swore that when the war was over, he would bring his family wife to Huainan to pay respects, in order to be brothers. But the dead horse's body was quickly found by Tang Jun's pursuers and searched nearby. I found Zhou Jun scout from the clues.
Young general Tang Jun found out the situation. The people only took in the spies out of sympathy, and without knowing it, they snatched a buffalo from their house as a punishment.
Unexpectedly, Lu Mengjun took his soldiers to patrol the road and heard about it. He immediately took the soldiers to the people's homes and ordered the whole family to be **** in the hall. But seeing that the young woman was a bit charming, she wanted to order the soldiers to be insulted on the spot.
The Ministry will admonish: "It doesn't seem appropriate to do this."
Lu Mengjun ignored the spies who should be severely punished for scolding the spies, so he watched for fun with the soldiers. He looked at Zhou Jun's scout again, and shouted: "There must be an adulterous|love! This woman is born with a slutty nature, so that the man is left to steal people. I would have let you die today." Now he wants the woman and Zhou Jun again. The scouts make |
Zhou Jun scout yelled: "If you want to kill, kill! I am not a beast. How can I do such things to the life-saving wife's wife, and I will not die, but please be happy!"
Lu Mengjun drew his sword to kill the young child of the woman: "Go! Get in love with that man, otherwise I will goug his eyes first!"
The woman was so anxious that she had to listen to her tears in tears.
But when Lu Mengjun finished the bad thing, he killed the woman's child with a single sword. The woman wailed loudly, and the sad cry was terrible.
An staff member outside the door heard the movement inside and shook his head and sighed: "Gong Lu can't get things done, he's inhumane."
Standing next to the general who had just advised Lu Mengjun, asked the reason, and said: "Although Duke Lu is cruel, he is still very brave in battle and he is not afraid of death."
The aides disapproved and said: "Gong Lu has done this more than once. Before killing someone, he must make it worse than death, and humiliation and torture. This is fun.
What's the use of not being afraid of death himself? He doesn't care about life and has no attachment to life. But more people in the world just want to live and want to live well. Therefore, no one like Lu Gong is willing to follow. "
At the moment, he took off his official hat and threw it on the ground, stomped on a few feet, cursed, "Fuck, this thing is worn on my head, I feel embarrassed", and then said to the general: "Just say I went back to my hometown to study I went."
The aides went south on horseback for a while, thinking that Lu Mengjun might send someone to catch him to catch him, so he switched to the trail. Unexpectedly, he got lost and ran into Zhou Jun Ranger again and was arrested.
……
The aide was caught back to Luo Yanhuan’s army, Luo Yanhuance stepped forward and asked: "Who is coming?"
Na Wenguan said: "In Zhouduan of Xiayangzhou, it is an official of the Southern Tang Dynasty."
Luo Yanhuan accepted it, and invited him to the tent for a drink during the night. He found that he was not speculative. This person was too literate and not constrained. He was very noble. Luo Yanhuan was not happy, and feared that he was a spy deliberately sent by the Southern Tang Army, so he sent someone to Guo Shao, commander of the Haozhou Vanguard Army.
Guo Shao speaks very directly, and Yingjinzhan laughed and said: "Luo Yanhuan dare not accept you, because I am afraid that you are a fine work sent by Haozhou Chai Kehong."
After listening to this, Zhou Duan shook his head and sighed: "The Chollima is often present, but Bole is not often present."
Li Chuyun next to him laughed happily: "Mr. Zhou is so loud. Isn't it a Chollima? You have to run one to see. Where are so many Chollima so many people can grab it with one hand?"
Zhou Duan did not "run", and continued to shook his head: "In the past, Liu Xuande visited the thatched cottage three times before he invited Kong Ming..."
Guo Shao, Li Chuyun and other generals laughed together and said: "As far as I know, Kong Ming was originally from a local big clan, and was related to many big clans; and he was famous far and near when he was in Longzhong. Respectful. He is not famous, how did Liu Xuande know him?"
Guo Shao thought for a while, then asked: "I only want to ask you one sentence, you join the Zhou army, are you afraid of people in your family being retaliated?"
Zhou Duan sneered and said: "Did I say to join the Zhou army? Just Lu Mengjun, can he avenge the Zhou family? Clan elder Zhou Gongjun, Zhishi Shishi is Situ, before his death he served as the internal envoy and Pingzhang In the event, in the service! Lu Mengjun, a general of Chu State, was favored by the emperor to keep his position. He dare to move the Zhou family!"
"Who is Mrs. Zhou?" Guo Shao asked in amazement.
Zuo You reminded: "It's called Zhou Zong...His daughter is quite famous, called Zhou Xian and Zi'ehuang."
Guo Shao thought for a while, is Zhou Ehuang Li Yu's Queen of Zhou? At the moment, it was decided that it would not be difficult for Zhou Duan to send someone to Cai Zhen to lock up.
