Please ask me to be the emperor

"Kill!" Li Fuchen couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the fire taking advantage of the wind, burning more and more fiercely, and the dust and smoke billowing directly towards the enemy's formation.

He jumped up quickly, led the soldiers who had been lying in wait for a long time, rushed out of the grass and reeds, and took the lead to kill the officers and soldiers who had crossed the Mang River.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" Sure enough, the officers and soldiers on the opposite side were panicked, shouting and organizing manpower to resist.

But the rushes and reeds are the most flammable. Once ignited, they will spread like a rolling flood.

Although the enemy troops in front of them had already laid out fences and formed military formations, they forgot to clear the vegetation under their feet. How could they withstand the fire?

As the saying goes: Fire and water have no mercy!

Seeing that a fire has started, who wouldn't run away from the fire?

For a moment, the officers and soldiers were in chaos, and Li Fuchen instantly tore the formation apart.

No matter how elite the officers and soldiers in front of them are, if they can't withstand the attack of the rebels at the top and the spread of the fire at the bottom, how can they still hold on?

He was only killed by the rebels until he cried like a ghost and howled like a wolf. His screams were unresponsive to the sky and the earth was unable to respond to his screams.

The simple pontoon bridge had long been licked by the flames and burned into two pieces. The officers and soldiers had no way to retreat.

Some were so desperate that they had no choice but to turn over and jump into the Python River, trying to cross the river to escape.

I just didn't expect that although the water in the Nang River is not very big, the mud is very deep.

After many soldiers jumped into the river, they could barely move an inch. They had already been waited upon by the rebels' bows and arrows, and they became living targets.

"Straight mother-in-law!" Mou Wenshou saw his soldiers being slaughtered like this. His heart was as sharp as a knife, his eyes were split open, and he wished he could kill him with his own body.

"Who is coming? Do you dare to tell me by name?" Mou Wenshou couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"That's Li Fuchen who served under King Shun!" Li Fuchen couldn't help laughing loudly as he stabbed the enemy in front of him to death with one shot.

"If he comes to seek revenge one day, don't admit your mistake, I will always be with you!"

"Okay, let's wait and see!" Mou Wenshou almost broke his teeth and had to say harshly.

"Let's go!"

"General, those brothers on the other side of the river." The confidants on the left and right couldn't help but hesitate.

"Leave it to fate!" Mou Wenshou is also a ruthless person. He gritted his teeth and said, "The humiliation suffered today will be repaid a hundred times in the future!"

What should Mou Wenshou do?

He had no choice. Now that the two sides were only separated by a river, could he still watch Pao Ze being killed?

There was something he didn't say out loud, but it was already clear in his heart.

Only when he leaves will the officers and soldiers on the other side of the river lose hope of resistance, and only in this way will their lives and property not be lost in vain.

I hope you can understand my good intentions!

After a thought, Mou Wenshou held back tears and said decisively: "Let's go back and meet Zhu Junmen!"

"Yes." The guards on the left and right hesitated for a moment when they heard the words, and then replied weakly.

The words are divided into two parts. After Zhu Dadian, the governor of water transport and governor of Fengyang, sent Mou Wenshou as the vanguard officer to set off, he also commanded Fengsi general Yang Yupan, aid and suppression general Li Chongzhen and staff general Zhang Shiyi to cross the Zhulong River one after another. , heading west all the way.

But after walking for more than ten miles, they ran into the deputy commander-in-chief Mou Wenshou who had just retreated.

"What? In less than half a day, more than a thousand officers and soldiers were killed!" Zhu Dadian couldn't believe his ears.

"Even if there are a thousand pigs, the thieves won't be able to catch them all!"

"Junmen, I apologize for my incompetence!" Mou Wenshou couldn't help but burst into tears after hearing this.

"The officers and soldiers' surprise attack on Meng County this time was a clever plan."

"I just didn't expect that as soon as the general arrived at Mang River, he was ambushed by thieves with more than ten thousand soldiers."

"Brothers have fought hard for a long time and were outnumbered. We were attacked by fire and suffered heavy casualties. Please make plans in advance to avoid being taken advantage of by thieves."

"What?" Zhu Dadian and his subordinates Yang Yupan, Li Chongzhen and Zhang Shiyi were shocked when they heard this.

Everyone knows Mou Wenshou's level. He was originally a member of the Shizhou Guards. Due to his military merits, he was promoted to the positions of Commander-in-Chief, Guards, Dusi, Guerrilla, Staff General and Deputy Commander-in-Chief.

He successively participated in the pacification of the Anshe Rebellion, the Denglai Rebellion and the battle to recapture Fengyang. He was a man of great military merit and was by no means a person who earned his fame in vain.

Since he said that "the thieves had tens of thousands of soldiers", based on the fact that "the fierce fighting lasted less than half a day" with more than a thousand casualties, I'm afraid that he and others had really hit the main force of the thieves.

what to do?

How pitiful are these people? It turns out that the deputy commander-in-chief Mou Wenshou was negligent and was taken advantage of by the "thieves". To this day, the two sides are still fighting fiercely on the other side of the Mang River.

"How about we go back the way we came?" Zhu Dadian pondered for a moment and couldn't help but ask.

"Junmen, this must not be done!" As soon as Zhu Dadian finished speaking, General Zhang Shiyi hurriedly dissuaded him.

"Now that the Commander-in-Chief has entrusted all his main forces to the army, if he returns without success, won't he be reprimanded by the imperial court?"

What is "reprimanded by the court"? In fact, it was a euphemism for wanting to be punished by the court.

Zhu Dadian knew this very well and was a little hesitant for a while.

"Junmen, I have an alternative solution!" Seeing this, Mou Wenshou couldn't help but offer advice.

"The main force of the thieves is either stationed in Huaiqing Fucheng or has just crossed the Yellow River."

"Since I have encountered the main force of thieves in Meng County now, why don't the military sect send troops north to join forces with the governor to capture the city?"

"If the capital city has been conquered, on the one hand, the vassal state will be restored, which will be a big contribution; on the other hand, based on this, we can advance, attack, retreat and defend, and Hanoi will be safe."

Zhu Dadian was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Hey, it really makes sense!"

"Then we will go north overnight and vow not to retreat until we take Huaiqing Mansion!"

Poor Pingdong General Hong Chengchou thought he was safe, but he didn't expect the battlefield situation to change rapidly.

Just because of a different thought between Mou Wenshou and Zhu Dadian, a huge loophole appeared in the encirclement network he originally formed with Meng County, Huaiqing Fucheng and Wen County as horns.

At the same time that Zhu Dadian changed the battle plan without authorization and led his troops northward, a conspiracy was brewing in the city of Huaiqing Mansion.

In a courtyard in the city of Huaiqing Mansion, more than ten people were kneeling.

One of them, a strong man with a fierce look on his face, stepped forward and saluted and said: "Your Majesty has been kind to us for many years, and the Day of Death for Righteousness is today."

"Okay, I heard that Yang Sichang, the Secretary of the Ministry of War and the right commander, is leading the army and is stationed in Qinghua Town, thirty miles outside the city. He also invited the strong men to drink this wine to attract the army, and cooperate inside and outside to defeat the bandits!" The prince couldn't help but be overjoyed. He quickly poured a bowl of good wine himself and served it to him.

Who do you think this prince is?

It turns out that he is none other than Zhu Yizhong, the eldest son of King Zheng Zhu Zaisi.

Prince Zheng, Zhu Zaixi, had always been ignorant and ignored political affairs. All the affairs of Prince Zheng's palace and vassal government were in the hands of his eldest son, Zhu Yizhong.

Zhu Yizhong was greedy, cunning and lawless by nature.

Not only did he regard human life as trivial and arbitrarily seize people's fields and property, he also secretly set up an army, forged weapons, and recruited minions with the intention of rebelling.

Among the diners Zhu Yizhong had favored over the years, fourteen were his favorites. All of them were domineering and committed all kinds of evil. People at the time called them the "Four Evils and Ten Evils".

At first, due to the help of Shi Wenhuanzi and Yingxuan, the city of Huaiqing Prefecture fell too quickly.

Zhu Yizhong had no time to escape, so he hid in another courtyard and summoned three to five hundred minions to hibernate for the time being.

It just happened that people in the city were in panic these past two days. When he heard that the imperial court had dispatched Yang Sichang, Minister of War and Right Superintendent, to lead an army of 100,000 to "suppress bandits", Zhu Yizhong became interested again.

"I will fulfill my mission!" The fierce-looking man heard this and quickly took the wine, drank it all in one gulp, and then smashed the wine bowl into pieces.
