I’m The King Chapter 962: :Huanghuang Hanwei (eighty-six)
Linzi, Tianfu.
Tian Yuanyuan's extremely joyous laughter came from the study room. Hearing Tian Yuanyuan's laughter, everyone in the mansion let out a long breath. , the eldest son Tian Yuanyuan is in an extremely bad mood, everyone in the house is cautious, and lives with his tail between his legs, for fear that he will be dragged out and beaten to death if he fails to do that well. Such things have already happened It's been several times. Now the son is in a good mood. Obviously, there has been a turning point in the battle ahead, and everyone is relieved.
"Master Niu, what is the origin of this Red Turban Army, they actually beat the second child to the point of losing his helmet and armor, losing troops and generals, Zhu Wei and Chen Tao are all powerful under his command, so they just fell into their hands?" Shaking the battle report in his hand, Tian Yuanyuan looked at Niu Fuchen who had just sent this information.
"Back to the eldest son, about half a year ago, I reported to the eldest son that Rao'an was attacked by a group of pirates who landed, our 1,000 garrison troops were wiped out, and the local officials died together with the city." Niu Fuchen Remind.
"Rao'an? I remembered, could this red scarf army be the pirates you mentioned at the beginning?" Tian Yuanyuan frowned slightly. When the pirates came ashore and attacked Rao'an, he was both surprised and angry , but at that time, because the second soldier was in a hurry to attack, and the Chu army was also striding forward, he really couldn't care about these bandits for a while, and this group of sea bandits stopped moving after taking Rao'an, so he also Throwing this trivial matter aside, compared with the mere pirates, it is obvious that (the matter on the second side is more important.
"It's them." Niu Fuchen nodded and said: "After Rao An's death, the ministers sent many spies to find out the truth of this sea bandit. They are very different from the past. It took root in Rao'an, and it was a stance of wanting to occupy the land as the king, recruiting troops and buying horses to garrison the fields, as if wanting to do a big job, but then there were more and more other things, and they gradually put this matter to rest. It was thrown aside, and it was not until this time that the Red Scarf Army suddenly launched a large-scale attack that I noticed them again, and I didn't expect them to have grown to such a scale in half a year."
Tian Yuanyuan pondered for a moment, "This group of pirates can defeat Zhu Wei and Chen Tao. Although it is not unrelated to the two people's underestimation of the enemy, it also shows that this group of pirates is extraordinary. They are indistinguishable from friends and foes. Rao An, turned around and captured Gao Tang, the mind is really unpredictable."
"My lord, the Red Scarf Army's capture of Gaotang would be beneficial and harmless to us. If not, Wang Pei's attack on Pinglu this time would be anticlimactic, so how about withdrawing troops hastily?" Niu Fuchen said.
"That's what I said, but can you guarantee that this sea bandit will suddenly go crazy that day, turn around and attack Pinglu again?" Tian Yuanyuan asked.
Niu Fuchen was at a loss for words, these pirates, who knows what they are thinking?
"You continue to inquire about the details of this Red Turban Army. After we find out what they want to do, we will discuss countermeasures. Anyway, they won Gaotang, which is indeed beneficial to us. Taking advantage of this This is a rare opportunity, we must quickly reorganize our military equipment, recruit new soldiers, and give Cheng Siwei a head-on blow, as long as we defeat Cheng Siwei again, the general situation of the world will be reversed." Tian Yuanyuan clenched his fist and said.
Gaotang's change of ownership made Linzi Tianda ecstatic, but Jimo Tianer was extremely angry. The worst prediction before became a reality. Losing Gaotang, Wang Pei's attack on Pinglu Had to give up halfway, Wang Pei withdrew his army and returned to Gaotang. Although most of Gaotang was defended, the loss of the county was like a choke in his throat. If this problem was not resolved, it was impossible for Wang Pei to attack Pinglu without distraction.
"Trash, bastard!" Tian Fucheng's roar resounded throughout the hall, but it's a pity that no matter how angry he was, he couldn't find someone to vent his anger on. The entire army was wiped out, and my whereabouts are still unknown. I tried to punish their crimes, but there was no way to cure them.
"Second Young Master!" Wang Pei took two steps forward and said in a low voice, "It's useless right now, but we need to find a way to solve this problem. If it drags on for a long time, it will be extremely detrimental to our army. Holding the king, the righteous name is in hand. If we can't make a quick decision, there will definitely be troubles. There is no guarantee that they will not take advantage of the fire!"
"Wang Pei, go yourself and kill the bandits like the Red Scarf. I will tear each of these bandits into pieces." Tian Fucheng was furious.
Wang Pei smiled wryly: "Second son, our army's outposts have fought against the red scarf bandits many times, but the opponent's combat effectiveness is astonishing. After several small-scale trials, our army was unable to gain the upper hand. My sentry reported that the red scarf bandits had already armed up to tens of thousands of refugees. If it was just them, it would be fine. I still have the confidence to defeat them, but the problem is that Tian Jingwen is still eyeing them. Guarding Pinglu, there are 30,000 powerful soldiers under his command, 10,000 of them are the elite of our army redeemed by the eldest son from the Han Dynasty. Because these people hated us that day, they let them be besieged by the Han army. He is a prisoner, so he is extremely brave in fighting against our army. If I use a large number of troops against the red scarf bandits, Tian Jingwen will attack from the side, and our army will be attacked on both sides, and there will be no chance of winning."
Tian Fucheng has been growing up in the army, how can he not understand the battlefield, he was anxious and unscrupulous before, but now he was told by Wang Pei, he finally calmed down.
"Is it because I don't go to the rescue? Can I go to the rescue? It is clear that the Han army has set up a trap and wants to wipe out all the elites of Qi. If I go, I will only add more to the generals of the Han army It’s all about the military exploits.” He said quite dejectedly. “And Tian Jingwen, I should have killed him with a single knife.”
"Second son, it's useless to say these things at this time." Wang Pei sighed: "The first thing to do is to solve the problem of the red scarf thief!"
"Your soldiers and horses can't move, and Cheng Siwei's side can't draw troops. In addition to guarding Jimo, the soldiers and horses in my hand also need to guard against the Han army's plot. Where do you get the soldiers and horses?" He said helplessly. .
"Second Young Master, haven't you thought about recruiting this group of bandits?" Wang Pei tentatively asked.
"Recruitment?" Tian Fucheng's eyes widened, "Let me give in to this gangster?"
"This is not to be submissive!" Wang Pei persuaded: "Those who achieve great things don't care about small things. This group of bandits has an extremely impressive fighting power. If we can recruit them, Tian Jingwen's tens of thousands of soldiers will be no problem. Winning Pinglu is just around the corner.”
Hearing what Wang Pei said, Tian Fucheng couldn't help but be moved, "Do you think they have the possibility of recruiting?"
"Whether it's successful or not, it's always good to give it a try. If it doesn't work, we can let them not help each other. As long as this result can be achieved, the subordinates can attack Tian Jingwen with all their strength. As long as there are no other factors , the subordinates are still sure of defeating Tian Jingwen." Wang Peidao.
"Then give it a try, I'm afraid these gangsters will not lose their appetite."
"No matter how big their appetites are, they can't just be gold and silver wealth. How big aspirations can they have?" It's not wrong, the two of them are afraid that they will fall into the hands of the red scarf thief, the red scarf thief didn't kill them to stand up, maybe they are sending a signal or showing favor to us, after all, they also know that they really want to annoy us , how can they have a good life."
"When you say that, I'm really moved. As long as they are willing to submit to me, then they can talk about anything. The previous things will be wiped out. When I succeed in my career, their glory and wealth will be indispensable." Tian Fucheng said.
"The second son is wise!" Wang Pei flattered him in a timely manner.
When Tian Fucheng made the decision to recruit the Red Scarf Army, in Linzi Tianfu, Tian Yuanyuan also held a meeting with the participation of core confidants to discuss the issue of the Red Scarf Army.
The Red Scarf Army has suddenly emerged, and within half a year, it has occupied less than half of Gaotang. In addition to the territory he took in Pinglu earlier, the strength in his hands should not be underestimated. Between Ertian, neither of them dared to act recklessly. In the past, neither of the two would pay attention to a gangster, but now the situation is delicate, and they will mobilize the whole body , the Red Scarf Army, a force that is not too powerful, has now become the key to the current situation. Whoever he favors will determine the balance of victory and defeat between the two armies in Gaotang.
"The predecessor of this group of red scarf bandits was a sea bandit. They usually used Penglai Island as their lair, and they suddenly went ashore at the end of last year to attack Rao'an in our country. Titans, one is called Sun Scarzi, one is called Liu Dadao, and the other is called Wei Zhiwen." As soon as Niu Fuchen finished speaking, Tian Yuanyuan couldn't help but wondered: "There is someone with a name like Scar?"
Niu Fuchen smiled and said, "My lord, what serious names do these gangsters have, they are just bandit names, that's all, the one named Sun Scarzi has scars all over his face, hence the name."
"So that's how it is!" Tian Yuanyuan said a little depressed. "How is their strength?"
"The minister sent people to investigate, and the information they got back was somewhat surprising. In a short period of time, the Red Scarf Army actually armed nearly 30,000 bandits."
"Thirty thousand people?" Tian Yuanyuan exclaimed.
"It should be that after they captured Gaotang, they obtained a large number of weapons stored by the second son. Gaotang itself was the logistics camp for Wang Pei's attack on Pinglu. These bandits got these weapons. The strength must increase a lot!" Song Boxuan, who came in response to Tian Yuanyuan's move, said in a deep voice. He was originally Gaotang's left guard, but when Tian Fucheng came with an army, he slipped away quickly and ran back to Linzi.
"The red scarf thieves actually have an army of 30,000 now, but the core elite among them, no more than 5,000, should be the main force of the red turban thieves." Niu Fuchen continued. After being defeated by them one after another, now both of them have become captives of the Red Scarf Army, and they are imprisoned in Gaotang City.”
"What are the plans of these red scarf soldiers, have you found out?" Tian Yuanyuan then asked.
"I only know that the red scarf thief didn't kill these two people. Instead, he served them with good food and drink. Zhu Wei was seriously injured. He also invited a famous doctor to treat his injuries. I can't find out the rest. All we can get in touch with are outsiders, and this red scarf thief seems to be very hostile to the wealthy gentry in the city. These days, he has raided several houses."
"Young Master, the Red Turban Army defeated the Second Young Master's men, but did not kill his generals. Could it be that they want to show favor to the Second Young Master?" Song Boxuan suddenly became nervous.
Recruitment! Everyone in the room is tense, it is not impossible! First defeat the opponent, show your strength and value, and then use this to bargain, this is not uncommon in history. Once the Red Scarf Army takes refuge Once the second son is lost, Tian Jingwen will be in danger. Once Tian Jingwen loses, Pinglu will be difficult to defend. Once Pinlu loses, Linzi will be attacked on both sides. (To be continued...)
