Bright Spring

Xu Huizu sneered, turned his head and said: "Only those scholars in the court believe it! Xuzhou's army has tens of thousands of soldiers, and the township bravery is no less than [-]. It is not a disadvantage to be scared into the city by thousands of people?

Since the guards did not rescue Pei County, they should have held Yan Ni for at least a month instead of retreating into the city after a day.I reckon the Xuzhou defender originally thought the same way, but only suffered a dumb loss to protect himself.

The guard first pre-arranged an ambush outside the city, and then the Tibetan cavalry formed an array on the south side with infantry behind the city, luring Gao Xu to attack.If he wanted to pinch Gao Xu's striker, he must first dampen Master Yan's spirit.

There is nothing wrong with the Xuzhou defender's thinking, and the layout is very regular; but his mistake is that he didn't know that Yan Shi's striker was Gao Xu!Unexpectedly, Gao Xu saw through his ambush first, almost wiped out all the ambush soldiers, and even broke through the formation of the officers and soldiers.Instead, the morale of the officers and soldiers had to be surrendered. "

Only then did the general exclaim in amazement: "I never imagined that King Gaoyang would have so many ways in the first battle."

Xu Huizu's eyes were piercing, and he said emotionally: "This battle is very subtle! I have repeatedly deliberated on the process. Gao Xu is not only brave, but also very good at catching fighters, and his timing is accurate!

He first divided his troops to attack the ambush of the official army, and recruited reinforcements to rescue them; when the reinforcements of the official army moved, they were halfway, and then flanked their formation.At this time, the blockade delayed the reinforcements of the officers and soldiers, making the ambush soldiers unable to hold on and flee.Then Gao Xu went back to the division to attack the ambush soldiers, and gathered the ambush soldiers of the officers and soldiers|killed them!

I often say that Yan Wang is good at turning around and attacking back, but looking at it now, his son Gao Xu is more flexible and subtle in using cavalry. "

Xu Huizu clenched his fists and said: "This is my opponent! Wouldn't it be boring to use a sledgehammer to kill those unknown people?"

Xu Huizu was very excited at this moment, he managed to get the chance to go to battle, he just waited for a big fight, the stronger the opponent, the happier he was.

Xu Huizu raised his head and sighed: "Thinking back then, my late father defeated 60 people from the Yuan Dynasty with tens of thousands of horses. He really swallowed mountains and rivers with anger! How can we insult my late father's reputation?"

He looked as if he wanted to swallow all the more than [-] people of King Yan in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, Xu Huizu had just crossed the river, and before he could get off the boat, a small boat came over.A scribe in a cloth robe came down from above, stepped forward and whispered, "Huang Zicheng has returned to Beijing."

Xu Huizu's bushy eyebrows trembled, his complacent expression disappeared, and after a while he calmed down and said: "I'm fighting my battle, no matter who he is!"

... Xu Huizu camped in Jiangbei that night, so he checked the Tang newspaper overnight and got acquainted with the military situation by referring to the map.

Xu Huizu thought: Since Xuzhou is closed and guarded to the death, and there are government troops approaching from the north and the south, the Yan division will never attack Xuzhou city by force.King Yan besieged the city with only one purpose: to raise food!

The real battle must not be fought in Xuzhou.If the King of Yan let Master Yan be under the city of Xuzhou, forming a situation where he was attacked from inside and outside, he would not be the King of Yan, and he would not be able to come to Xuzhou!

Xu Huizu tapped his finger heavily on the location of Suishui on the map, making two "dong dong".

The Ministry of Security came from the north, and Xu Huizu and He Fu joined forces from the south to Suishui. The two armies attacked Yanni on the Suishui line.As for the defense, it's not Xu Huizu's style, he just wants to use the elite soldiers of the Beijing camp to cooperate with Ping'an and others to directly overthrow Master Yan!

Xu Huizu deliberated and calculated in detail again, and made a good plan, only then remembered...he is not the coach of this battle!It's just the commander-in-chief of the Jiangbei battalion.

It was just dawn the next day when the horns were blown in the barracks.Xu Huizu was writing hard, he wrote two letters in a row, wrote down his thoughts in detail, and then sealed them.

When the relatives came, Xu Huizu said: "Two letters, one is sent to Sheng Yong immediately; the other is sent back to the capital and given to Qi Tai."

The two of them received the letters respectively, clasped their fists and held the military salute: "The little one takes orders!"

When Xu Huizu saw the envoy leaving the tent, a determined smile appeared on his face again.

Sheng Yong is the "General of Pingyan", with great military power on the front line.Xu Huizu and Sheng Yong have always had a good relationship, this is not the point, the key is that he believes in Sheng Yong's assessment of the situation.Sheng Yong would not reject this strategy.

There is also Qi Tai, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of War, with whom Sheng Yong has not had much contact.But two months ago, Qi Tai proposed the strategy of "up and down attack, long-term attack and defense", which made Xu Huizu look at him with admiration... This is not very clever, but there is no problem. fully understand.From this point of view, Qi Tai is not quite the same as other civil servants.

It is rare for Xu Huizu to agree with a civil servant of the current imperial court, and he also thinks that his "Suishui strategy" is in line with Qi Tai's general idea, and Qi Tai should not object.At this time, although Qi Tai had resigned from his position as minister of the Ministry of War, he was still a very trustworthy and important minister in front of the Holy Majesty.

Xu Huizu walked out of the big tent, the tiredness on his face was immediately dispelled by the magnificent scene of the military camp, and he regained his energy.

The vigorous horn is the most beautiful melody in Xu Huizu's ears.In the hazy morning, the vigorous figures of the soldiers are printed on the sky, which is the most moving picture.

"Crack..." The footsteps of the infantry were inspiring.Xu Huizu narrowed his eyes, admiring the neat queue.The cavalry in the distance are gathering and running, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes is full of strength.

Xu Huizu took the reins from his own soldiers. He was taller and burly than everyone around him, but he was very flexible and easily got on the horse.A group of horsemen followed him and rushed out of the gate, patrolling around the broad barracks.

He looked up at the military flag with the word "Ming" written on it among the people and horses, and traced back to the fact that this flag once swept across Kyushu, causing the fourth-class people to hold their heads up again and wear the clothes of their ancestors... Someone asked Xu Huizu why he killed his relatives righteously, for He couldn't explain what he was struggling to be loyal to the court, but he couldn't explain it in words!

Xu Huizu galloped his horse through a large cavalry formation and shouted: "The soul of the Ming army is immortal, and the Ming army will surely win!"

Shouts came from all around, "We must win! We must win..." The shouts shook the world, one after another, and the battle was very grand.

The officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp drove northward. The soldiers and horses were well-fed and fat. The armor and weapons were very sophisticated, and they carried countless new firearms.There was also Xu Huizu, the eldest son of the city god and god, as the commander-in-chief, and his morale was very strong for a while.

... At that time, the Ping'an army was marching south from Jining; He Fujun was marching north from near the Huaihe River, and Xu Huizu also marched there soon.Master Yan has become encircled in Xuzhou, and the battle is getting closer.

1 Chapter Twenty

"Gao Xu fought in Xuzhou, even your uncle praised you." King Yan looked at Zhu Gaoxu.

Xu Huizu praised him, how did King Yan know?Zhu Gaoxu immediately thought of spies, and the news came really fast... Father Wang is not only good at fighting on the battlefield, but also played a very important role in arranging spies, often knowing the deployment of the officers and troops in advance.

Before he opened his mouth, King Yan paused for a while, and said again: "Gao Xu is good at using cavalry, your soldiers are too few, Zhang Wu!"

Zhang Wu came out and said, "The end is here."

King Yan said: "You and the headquarters will ride twelve horses, and then follow Gao Xu and be under his command."

Zhang Wu clasped his fists and said: "The last general obeys orders!"

Zhang Wu is no longer the head of the guards. Before, Zhu Gaoxu tried his best to show his merits, and later made several meritorious deeds. Now he has been promoted to the governor and Tongzhi; he has nearly five thousand cavalry of the most elite cavalry in the Northern Army!

Moreover, Zhang Wu and Zhu Gaoxu had a good personal relationship, and King Yan suddenly strengthened Zhu Gaoxu's strength... Zhu Gaoxu had to guess that the situation might be serious!

Zhu Gaoxu didn't care much about how King Yan treated him well when he needed him. After all, he himself wanted to help King Yan win this war as soon as possible.

Regarding the "Battle of Jingnan", Zhu Gaoxu was most concerned about what might go wrong and cause everyone to die together!He was also worried that Miao Jin would have trouble in the wine cellar, and he was thinking about Yao Ji from the capital... In short, he really wanted to get through this period quickly, so he could experience what it was like to be a prince first.

Zhu Gaoxu clasped his fists and said: "My son only wants my father to win as soon as possible, and I don't care about it all the time, and try my best to share my father's worries!"

Yan Dynasty nodded his head, and said at this moment: "I just got some news, and the situation is getting more and more urgent. Our army wants to drive straight down the Huai River, but I'm afraid it won't work. We have to fight a big battle first!"

He turned his head and glanced at Jin Zhong.Jin Zhong bowed his hands and said to the generals: "Sheng Yong lost all his elite after the Jiahe battle. He is gathering the brave men of the village and deploying the defense of the Huaihe River. At this time, the Ping'an army in the north has left Jining and crossed the Yellow River; in the south, Xu Huizu and He Fu's reinforcements After crossing the Huai River..."

"We have received definite information. Some people in the court have guessed our division's strategy of 'fighting against the river and rushing to the capital', so the officers and soldiers have not sent reinforcements to Xuzhou." Jin Zhong raised his hands together in the middle, "but want to Sui Shui flanks my teacher!"

Jin Zhong said again: "My lord's strategy is to 'concentrate our forces and break them individually'. Our division first set up an ambush in the Feihe River to defeat Ping'an; The division's siege and interception, and then cross the Huai River!"

King Yan said: "Can you hear me clearly?"

All the generals clasped their fists together and said: "The last general will understand!" "My lord is wise!"

... At that time, King Yan had already raised a large amount of military supplies, so the Northern Army gradually withdrew from Xuzhou and went south.

This time Qiu Fu was the vanguard, pretending to search and march towards Suishui; Zhu Gaoxu led more than 1 horsemen to follow Qiu Fu, and responded with cameras.Along the way, two groups of men and horses bluffed, clamoring and blasting cannons along the way.

The king of Yan had led his main force to advance towards Feishui, intending to ambush on the path of the Ping'an army.

Zhu Gaoxu kept a distance from Qiu Fu, and followed Qiu Fu's department very slowly, waiting for news from King Yan.It's almost September, and although it's not as cold as Beiping, it's more humid.Waking up in the morning, Zhu Gaoxu already felt that the armor was cold, and a little dew had gathered on it.

Ten days later, Shuqi came from the west.After checking the seal outside the barracks, he entered Zhu Gaoyang's camp.

The messenger got down on one knee and handed over a letter.
