Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

When Chai Kehong returned at night, he suddenly heard a letter from his mother. He hurriedly held the lamp and read carefully.

If there is anyone in this world that Zhai Kehong dare not despise but respects very much, it is his mother. Mother is a woman, but she can have a great influence on Chai Kehong.

Before conquering Wuyue Kingdom, Chai Kehong was still unknown, and many ministers did not trust him. But Chai's mother wrote a letter saying that her son can lead troops to be a general, and if he doesn't do well, she is willing to bear the death penalty together with her son...

Chai Kehong hurriedly finished reading his mother's handwritten letter, and was immediately astonished.

The content was completely contrary to the previous encouragement, and he even suspected it was hypocrisy! But after careful inspection, it is true that the handwriting and diction are Chai Mu. Can't even distinguish the letter written by his mother? Zhai Kehong can still judge this point.

Chai's mother persuaded him to pretend to be sick, not to accept Haozhou's military power, and retreat bravely! Her general idea in the letter: Your reputation is too great now, and the expectations given by the emperor and the soldiers and civilians of the Southern Tang Dynasty are too high. Once you encounter setbacks, you will not be able to bear the consequences; Such a big responsibility cannot be shouldered by you alone.

What's more, because of the son's great military achievements, his promotion too fast, and his lack of experience, the entire Haozhou now has nearly 100,000 troops, which is beyond his son's ability. Your father often said that an army of 10,000 people can win by tricks, but an army of 100,000 can only be won by righteousness. Neither your ability nor the fighting power of the Southern Tang Army is enough to take on such a big task... In case of failure, I am ashamed of the gift and trust given to you by the emperor.

If the person who lost Haozhou was not Chai Kehong, but a general who was not loved and had high hopes by the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty: what was lost was only a state, 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, and the next day he regained his self-confidence, and did not intend to follow his mother's advice. When Chai Kehong summoned the generals, he said: "The scouts of the Zhou army have been captured. The men who came are the left and right wings of the Hu Jie army. The right wing is the capital school Zhao Chao, and we will start with this man."

The generals were puzzled and asked why.

Chai Kehong sneered and said, "The Zhengyang army was defeated a few months ago, and more than 3,000 people were sent down. The captives were handed over to Zhao Chao, and he slaughtered them all that night. This man is bloodthirsty, but our Southern Tang Kingdom has millions of soldiers and civilians, can he kill them all?"

There are hundreds of thousands of peasants and soldiers in the fields of Shouzhou and Haozhou. However, due to the poor management of the court officials, these people immediately surrendered after the Zhou army entered the country and greeted the Dao to pay the money. Let these soldiers understand the brutal nature of the Zhou army and arouse their resistance; in this way, the tens of thousands of Zhou troops in Haozhou will not only face 50,000 people in Haozhou City, but hundreds of thousands of raging uprisings! Zhao Chao is the breakthrough point. "

When Chai Kehong said this, he had completely discarded the unhappiness of last night, and laughed loudly: "At that time, countless Nantang sons will harass his grain roads, sentry camps, and scouts, and the Zhou army will be deeply trapped in the territory of Haozhou.

There were wars all over the country, the Zhou army worked hard for a long time, the food supply was poor, and transportation was even more difficult. I will deploy the city defense again, strictly defend Haozhou, and delay the time to exhaust the army. When a fighter is found, the Zhou army must be defeated! "

All the generals will worship.

When Chai Kehong deployed Haozhou city defense, he first strengthened the defense of the city wall, recruited officials who built the city wall, and inspected the foundation of the city wall and Fengshui conditions in detail.

Chai Kehong once sent someone to observe the gap in Shouzhou, and he knew that the city wall was blown away by gunpowder buried in the tunnel... No one knows how Zhou Jun blew up the city wall, but the situation is that the city wall can be blown up; Chai Kerong specially investigated and deployed Haozhou city defense for this matter.

His plan is to echo inside and outside Haozhou and the Southern Tang Yijun, and spend a year or so, or a year or two, with Zhou Jun here. Therefore, there is great hope for Haozhou City to stick to it.

What if the walls are breached somewhere? Very well, being caught by surprise and concealing his unpreparedness is really the magic weapon for Chai Kerong to win.

Chai Kehong and the generals around him said: "Since ancient times, guarding the city is not good at street fighting. Now I am doing the opposite and deploying ambushes in the city. The Zhou army will rush to various gates and the central cross road when entering the city from a certain place. At that time, the cannon will be fired as a signal, and the formation will be disrupted with smoke and fire, and then they will be defeated by elite soldiers. Counterattack the city wall and fight repeatedly. The city of Haozhou will not be scorched.

...

Lu Mengjun and Chai Kehong served in Haozhou at the same time, and he was the military supervisor and Chai Kehong's deputy general.

At that time, the Luo Yanhuan Department of the Zhou Army entered the territory of Haozhou first as the vanguard, and sent out scouts to inquire about intelligence. A scout pretended to be a commoner and went deep into the area controlled by the Tang army. Unexpectedly, his accent was found out, 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 cover it with straw, and hid in a household.

The scout was found by a young couple in the woodshed, and they knelt down and begged in desperation. Said that he fled to Huainan after being hunted down by his enemies, and would die a miserable death if caught.

The young woman saw that the scout was young, tall and strong, and he was a strong labor force that could support a family. It was a pity that he died! Feeling sympathetic, the woman persuaded her husband to save his life.

The husband knew that Huainan was suffering from a military disaster, and this person speaking with a northern accent might be a scout of the Zhou army... But in the eyes of ordinary people, the Zhou army and the Tang army are similar, and they are all Han Chinese anyway. Rescuing a hero with righteousness in times of crisis has resulted in a bond of loyalty. Regardless of his parents' objections, the husband hid the scouts in the cellar and delivered meals and water.

Zhou Jun's scout was grateful, asked the name of the family, and swore that when the war was over, he would bring his wife to Huainan to thank him, as a brotherhood. But the body of the dead horse was quickly found by the Tang army's pursuers and searched nearby. Zhou Jun scouts were found from the clues.

The young general Tang Jun found out the situation, and the people in this family took in the spies only out of sympathy, and without knowing it, they robbed a buffalo from their family as a punishment.

Unexpectedly, Lu Mengjun happened to be patrolling the main road with his own soldiers and heard about it. Immediately, he took his own soldiers to the people's homes and ordered his whole family to be tied up in the main room. But seeing that the young woman was a bit pretty, she wanted to order the soldiers to insult her on the spot.

The Ministry will advise: "It seems inappropriate to do such things."

Lu Mengjun didn't care about it, and scolded spies that they should be severely punished, so he gathered around with all his soldiers for fun. After looking at the scouts of the Zhou army again, he shouted: "There must be adultery! This woman is dissolute by nature, so she left the man to steal. I will let you die in peace today." At the moment, the woman and the scouts of the Zhou army are required to have sex.

Zhou Jun's scouts yelled: "If you want to kill, kill it! I am not a beast, how can I do such a thing to the wife of the savior, and I will not die, but please have fun!"

Lu Mengjun drew his sword to kill the woman's child: "Go! Have sex with that man, or I'll goug his eyes first!"

The woman was in a hurry, so she had to obey with tears.

But when Lu Mengjun finished his bad deeds, he still killed the woman's child with a sword. The woman wept loudly, and the sound of her sorrowful crying was unbearable.

A staff member outside the door heard the commotion inside, shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Lu can't do anything, what I vote for is no one."

Standing next to him was the general who warned Lu Mengjun just now, asked why, and said: "Although Duke Lu is brutal, he is still very brave in battle, and he is not afraid of death."

The staff said disapprovingly: "Mr. Lu has done this kind of thing more than once. Before killing people, he must make life worse than death, humiliating|torturing in every possible way. It's not that the people who are slaughtered are heinous, but Mr. Lu likes this way and takes pleasure in it.

What's the use of him not being afraid of death? He does not value life, and has no attachment to life. But more people in the world just want to live and live well. Therefore, no one is willing to follow someone like Lu Gong. "

Immediately, he took off his official hat, threw it on the ground, stepped on it a few times, scolded, "Fuck, I feel ashamed to wear this thing on my head", and then said to the general, "Let's say I went back to my hometown to farm and study."

The staff rode south for a while, thinking that Lu Mengjun might send someone to catch up with him, so he turned to the trail. Unexpectedly, he lost his way, ran into Zhou Jun riding a horse again, and was arrested.

...The staff member was arrested and returned to Luo Yanhuan's army. Luo Yanhuan stepped forward and asked, "Who is here?"

The civil official said: "Zhou Duan in Lower Yangzhou is an official of the Southern Tang Dynasty."

Luo Yanhuan accepted it, and invited him to drink in the tent during the night, and found that his words were not speculative, this person is too talented and unrestrained, very noble. Luo Yanhuan didn't like it, and he was afraid that he was a spy deliberately sent by the Southern Tang Army, so he sent someone to Guo Shao, the commander of the Haozhou Pioneer Army.

Guo Shao also spoke very straightforwardly, he laughed when he entered the tent, "Luo Yanhuan dare not accept you, because he is afraid that you are a spy sent by Haozhou Chai Kehong."

After hearing this, Zhou Duan shook his head and sighed: "Maxima is always there, but Bole is not."

Li Chuyun next to him laughed happily: "Mr. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. Is it a Chollima? You have to run to show it to others. How can there be so many Chollima?"

Guo Shao, Li Chuyun and other generals laughed together and said, "I just want to ask you one thing. Are you afraid that your family members will be retaliated if you vote for Zhou Jun?"

Zhou Duan sneered and said, "Did I say I wanted to vote for the Zhou army? Just Lu Mengjun, he can take revenge on the Zhou family members? The clan elder Zhou Gong Juntai, when he became an official, he was Situ, and he served as an envoy, Pingzhangshi, and servant! Lu Mengjun, a general of the Chu Kingdom, was given alms by the emperor to keep his position. He dared to touch the Zhou family!"

"Who is Mrs. Zhou?" Guo Shao asked in amazement.

Zuo You reminded: "It's called Zhou Zong... His daughter has a pretty name, Zhou Xian and the word Ehuang."

Guo Shao pondered for a while, is Zhou Ehuang Li Yu's queen? Immediately, he decided that it would not be difficult for Zhou Duan, and sent someone to send Cai Zhen down and lock him up first.
