From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

"It's extremely precious! It's extremely precious!"

Holding the letter in his hand, Xiong Kuohai said excitedly: "Lord Zhou, the man surnamed Ye is indeed an old fox. He is from Nanchang, Jiangxi. It is really wise to send him to Jiangxi."

"It has only been a short time, and we have obtained the list of the two Jiang armies. The most detailed one is the 20,000 troops in Lin'an Prefecture."

"Wu Rui Camp, Wu Wei Camp, Wu Yong Camp, all of them are soldiers from the north. They were sent directly to the south because of the defeat."

"The late emperor was really stupid. Sending soldiers from the north to the south is equivalent to separating from their families, right? ? Eleven years, don't these soldiers want to go home? We have a chance! "

Zhou Yuan was also very happy, nodded and said: "The strategy of attacking the enemy is to attack the heart. With this, it is easy to control these 20,000 elite soldiers."

Xiong Kuohai said: "They have fatal weaknesses, but it cannot be denied that these veterans have strong combat capabilities, much stronger than the soldiers in the south. After all, they fought against the Mongolian cavalry, and lost less and won more."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "But this also means that they have their own pride, and Annan Hou may not be able to command them."

Wang Ang said: "So Annan The Marquis dare not delay and wants to win with one blow. He will definitely make a move tomorrow night. He is now burning with anger.

Zhou Yuan tapped the small table lightly and smiled slowly: "We suddenly attacked the gambling house in the south of the city and kidnapped the King of Chu, which ignited his first anger."

"Forcing Song Shanzi to rebel and expose his despicable behavior is the second anger."

"The rebellion of the great scholar made him the object of scorn by scholars all over the world. This is the third anger."

"He personally sent the King of the Sun to assassinate the alliance with the aristocratic family, but failed. This is the fourth anger."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuan squinted and said: "I guess the Marquis of Annan is now He is already furious, and is just short of burning the city. "

"Be prepared tomorrow night, and give him another head-on blow, and completely defeat him!"

...

In the Annan Marquis's mansion, Han Tuo's face flushed, his hands clenched into fists, and he said word by word: "Mission, failed?"

A subordinate nodded and said: "Yes, Lord, the Great Sun Dharma King was about to succeed, but suddenly a mysterious master came and blocked the Great Sun Dharma King."

"Now the Dharma King hastily fled the city, presumably to heal his wounds, Zhuang Xuansu and others have now returned to Kuixingfang."

Hearing this, Annan Marquis shouted and smashed the teacup directly to the ground.

He yelled: "Waste! All waste! Didn't he say he was invincible! Didn't he say it was easy to capture!"

"What a big talk! What a fool! What a fool! "

As soon as the voice fell, an anxious voice came from outside.

"Report! My Lord! The families of several great scholars in Lin'an Prefecture, totaling more than 200 people, have all been rescued. It seems that they were the ones who supervised the Criminal Court."

Annan Marquis glared and said, "What! The ones who supervised the Criminal Court?"

"What on earth do you do? Can a group of jailers rescue people? A bunch of good-for-nothings, a bunch of idiots!"

"Who is the person in charge of guarding? Cut off his head for me to set an example."

An old man hurriedly said, "My Lord, you must not do that. The enemy is just trying to make us chaotic! The more angry we are, the happier they are. We must keep our composure at this moment."

Han Tuo said loudly, "Stop being calm! Only When I was facing the 6,000-man army, I kept my composure. Now that I have enough soldiers, do I still need to be patient! "

"Come here! Send me the three vanguard generals of Wurui Camp, Wuyong Camp, and Wuwei Camp. I want to make a plan to attack Kuixingfang!"

At this point, he panted and said, "Don't the other party want me to be angry? I will just give them a song of burning the city with raging fire!"

"Go prepare a lot of tung oil, resin and dry firewood. This marquis will burn this Kuixingfang to ruins!"

Soon, the vanguard generals of the three camps had arrived at the Annan Marquis's mansion. Logically, they were not Annan Marquis's men, but only obeyed the Liangjiang Jiedushi Cheng Ping.

This also means that Annan Marquis's words may not be so effective.

Han Tuo knew this, so his attitude was very respectful.

"The three vanguard generals are all famous and experienced. Cheng Jiedu repeatedly emphasized in his letter that the plan to attack Kuixingfang should refer to your opinions, so he invited the three generals to come late at night."

"Please sit down, generals, and let's eat and chat."

Han Tuo prepared a large table of wine and food for a warm reception.

The three vanguard generals also exchanged greetings for a while, then sat down to eat meat.

Han Tuo raised his glass and said, "Three generals, I am also a soldier, and I know your abilities. Please help me with the attack on Kuixingfang this time."

As the vanguard general of Wurui Camp, Xie Chengyi frowned and said, "My Lord,It's not that I don't give you face, but there are rules in the army. Drinking is not allowed during non-rest periods. Those who violate the order will be punished with 30 military sticks and two months' salary deduction. "

Han Tuo was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "The three generals are indeed strict in managing the army. I admire them. Cheng Jiedu is really harsh in this regard!"

The bearded strong man next to him said coldly: "This is the rule we set in the north."

Han Tuo's smile was a little awkward now.

Xie Chengyi said: "Your Majesty, don't mind. The three of us brothers are not smooth enough and speak too directly. We are all rough people in the army."

"Please tell me frankly, when will we attack Kuixingfang, and what is the specific plan?"

Han Tuo took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said: "Tomorrow at 3:30 am, we will start attacking the city."

"Adopt the strategy of siege from three sides and block and kill from one side. First, use arrows to set fire to burn Kuixingfang thoroughly, and then one main and two auxiliary, break through the gate of the square. ”

“After entering Kuixingfang, except for the King of Chu, everyone else will be killed.”

After all, he had led troops in battles before, and he was extremely skilled in deployment, especially the fire attack, which was a brilliant stroke.

Kuixingfang has densely packed houses and is not a large place. Once multiple fires start, it will certainly restrict the opponent to a great extent.

The three vanguard generals looked at each other and nodded secretly. This plan was very good, but if everyone was killed and no surrender was accepted, then the trapped soldiers in the square would definitely fight to the death.

Xie Chengyi said in a deep voice: “At the critical moment, we still need to accept surrender and attack their defenses. After the prisoners are captured, we can make arrangements.”

Han Tuo nodded and said: “What the three generals said is very true. In this case, I’ll leave it to you!”

“Tomorrow at 3:30 pm, we will gather our troops in Kuixingfang! ”

After eating, it was already dawn. The three vanguard generals walked out of the mansion, got on their horses, and galloped all the way.

Xie Chengyi sighed, looked at the "half drunk and half awake" Lin'an Prefecture, and said slowly: "The northern Tartars are eyeing us covetously, and the three sides are in danger. These bastards are still thinking about killing their own people and not accepting surrender. They are really ungrateful."

Jiang Hui frowned and said: "Brother Xie, be careful with your words. After all, we are now working under Cheng Jiedu."

"Bullshit!"

The bearded man was named Cao Xiong. He was tall and had a hot temper. He said angrily: "If it weren't for being forced, who would be willing to work under him!"

The three men cursed and finally returned to the camp.

At this moment, the armies of Wuwei, Wurui, and Wuyong had already started morning exercises.
