Chapter 65 Relationship (Part 1)

"Breakthrough." The civil and military officials were stunned again, and then jumped up and shouted loudly, "Breakthrough, break through with all your strength, and leave a useful body to repay the emperor's kindness."

"Shut up, don't leak the news." Xuexue immediately frowned again and whispered, "You have to pay attention to order when breaking through the siege, so as not to see the clues too quickly. This commander led his personal soldiers to the government office first, and then come over to discuss the details of the action."

"Yes." Those who can hold important positions in the imperial guards will not be too small, they are knowledgeable and have a much flexible mind than those in the local generals. In an instant, they all understood Xuexue's "good intentions", and bowed down and whispered to accept the order.

"Yes." When the Privy Council was informed, the Imperial Guard Daluhua Chixue nodded slightly, then he led his personal soldiers out of the enemy building and walked down the horse road quickly. Other civil and military officials were divided into several waves, pretending to be nothing, and followed one after another. In a short while, there were no senior officers on the enemy building and the city wall on the east side of Jinan City. Just a few loyal households ran around at the risk of being killed by artillery shells, urging their soldiers to use all means to counterattack the Huaian army outside the city.

The Huaian Army had too few soldiers outside Jinan City, and they had no ability to siege the city. Of course, they could not stop the enemy from "breaking through". They were using the city car to dig holes around the east wall, but suddenly they found that the interference on their heads disappeared. Immediately, there was a crying and scolding in their ears, "I'm not moral, you little maid raised a lowly embryo, I didn't even tell me."

"Damn Konri, your Majesty respects you so much." (Note 1)

"Go away quickly, go away quickly, all the officials have run away, we are still trying to make trouble."

Amid the chaotic crying and scolding, the defenders on the city were still able to climb and fled cleanly, including the battlements that had been most violently resisted, and no feather arrows were shot out. Some of them were seriously injured and unable to escape with their own robes. They simply tore open their inner clothes. According to the widely circulated saying in the army, they tied white cloth strips to the gun bar and picked them out of the battlements. They were blown by the autumn wind, and they blew up and down.

Seeing such a strange scene, Lu Li and others who served as the vanguard could not continue to dig the corners of Jinan City. They quickly used suona and flags to convey the news to the other side of the moat. In the Huai-Huang Alliance's own formation, Zhu Chongjiu, who was preparing to attack the defenders with all their might after the city wall was blown down, could hardly believe his ears. He grabbed the telescope and looked at the city wall for half a minute before he quickly ordered loudly, "Wang Xuan, send your cavalry to chase after it, be careful not to be fooled, Yu Tonghai, take a company brother, push the siege ladder across the river, see if he can climb up the city and push the city gate open from inside."

"Yes." Huang Army commander Wang Xuan and his personal deputy commander Yu Tonghai both stepped forward to receive the order.

Before the two of them turned around to execute, several war horses rushed from the southwest at lightning speed. The Huai'an army scout on the horse was waving the signal flag vigorously while shouting, "Report, news came from the west of the city, Xuexue took the lead in escaping, and the west gate four opened wide."

"Reported, according to the observation of the scout lurking on the west side of the city, a large number of enemy troops were fleeing in panic." As soon as he finished speaking, two more war horses galloped, bringing the latest trends of the enemy.

"Report, Ximen, the enemy army itself started fighting on the Ximen Suspension Bridge, and many people fell into the water." The third wave of scouts arrived again in a flash, and the news brought became clearer and more accurate.

"Report, the north gate, the north gate is wide open, and a large number of enemy troops abandoned the city."

"The south gate was opened by the defenders themselves, and many people fled with Xiaoshuo!"

New scouts have returned one after another, bringing more surprises.

"Master General, Master General Manager, look at the city gate, the city gate is opened by itself." The biggest surprise followed. Amid the cheers of the guards, the east gate of Jinan City was pushed open from inside. More than a dozen people with nervous faces knelt on the side of the road, and no one dared to look at Zhu Chongjiu's Zhan Ban.

"Fu Youde, lead the cavalry brigade on the horse, cross Jinan City, and chase Xuexue." Zhu Chongjiu didn't need to continue waiting. The current news was enough to confirm the enemy's movements. He waved the pig-killing knife in his hand and issued an order loudly.

"Yes." Fu Youde, the head of the Cavalry Independent Brigade, agreed loudly, jumped on the war horse seized from the Yiwang Mailu, and led the newly formed cavalry brigade to the black-hole city gate.

"Wu Liangmou, with other units of the Fifth Army, entered the city to eliminate the remaining enemies."

"Ding Dexing, you will bring the first brigade of the new recruits to the city to maintain order."

"Aslan, you take the New Second Brigade around the North Gate and look for an opportunity to annihilate the enemy."

"Wang Xuan, lead your troops to block the South Gate. What ordinary people want to leave, no matter Mongolian and Han, even if they let them go, they will leave, and all officials and their families will be left for me."

""

After quickly looking at the brothers who did not have war horses to transport, Zhu Chongjiu continued to issue orders in an orderly manner.

This is not the first time he has captured an enemy city. Although the victory in front of him is a bit inexplicable, he can still handle it calmly based on the experience accumulated in the past.

The soldiers under his command, including the two brigades of "new recruits" who were captured in the last few battles and were left by the incitement of Yu Tingyu and his son, were also used to welcoming one victory after another. Under the command of officers at all levels, they separately carried out missions, took over the city defense, killed the "heroes of the rivers and lakes" who took advantage of the fire, put out the fires that emerged for no reason, appeased the people, and restored normal order in the city.

After all the complicated tasks were finished, the sun had already reached the top of the mountain. Zhu Chongjiu and Huang Jun commander Wang Xuan sat in the magnificent Daluhuachi official residence in Jinan, shaking their heads and smiling bitterly.

Great victory. Today, the two teamed up to win another great victory, defeating 20,000 enemies and capturing a heroic city with countless gold, silver and fine and soft gold, countless weapons, armor, and food and supplies. Based on the total force currently left in the east and west Shandong, within three years, I am afraid there is no need to worry about supply issues.

However, both of them were a little happy and didn't know what to make a choice next.

The war has doubled its initial goal of military use. Tuotuo was successfully transferred back to the north of the Yellow River. An important grain-producing area in the Mongolian Yuan was completely smashed. Shandong, east and west, all the wheat that was put into storage this summer has become the spoils of the Huai'an army and the Huang army, and no grain will be transported to Dadu.

However, the Fifth Army of Huai'an and the Huang army under Wang Xuan were also at the end of their strength. If Xuexue had not retreated before the battle, even Jinan City would not have been Zhu Chongjiu's offensive target at first. Now, Jinan was defeated in one go and became another spoil of the coalition forces. Yidu, Panyang, and Binzhou were also all taken in. In addition, Jiaozhou, which was originally landed in the Fifth Army, was recently swept by Geng Zaicheng with more than a thousand troops, Dengzhou, Laizhou, and the entire Shandong Peninsula had already fallen to the hands of the rebels.

The troops in Wang Xuan even included the newly recruited recruits, but only a few more than 20,000 yuan. Zhu Chongjiu's direct lineage in Huai'an was even thinner. When he got on the ship, he only brought the 3,000 brothers from the Fifth Army who were absolutely blind and a battalion of the Guards. These days, he lowered the standards and accepted the rebels who came to join and increased their efforts to recruit prisoners. But he raised ten thousand people. What they were about to face was Tutu's army with more than 200,000 troops.

If you give up all the cities you have already captured and take the initiative to return to Hainan according to the original plan, you will definitely have time. However, if that is too much of a loser, it will inevitably have a certain impact on the morale and morale. Moreover, Wang Xuan finally got what he wanted and had a place of his own, so he asked him to give up and live the previous life that was completely entrusted under the military line of Huai'an. It would be a bit difficult for people to do so.

"The last general, the last general is willing to reorganize the Huang army into the 6th Army of Huai'an and completely support it under the wings of the Grand General Manager. Please forgive me." Looking at Wubian Qiuse outside the window and thinking for a while, Wang Xuan suddenly said something that had nothing to do with the situation in front of him, and the expression on his face was extremely sincere.

"You really thought about this clearly. What about the other brothers under your command, are they willing?" The focus of attention changed too quickly, and Zhu Chongjiu's thoughts were a little too late. He was stunned and hesitantly asked.

He usually adopts a relatively tolerant attitude towards the various military leaders who take the initiative to join him. He would rather be the nominal sect leader and give him certain support than force him to be completely loyal to him. For example, Zhang Shicheng and Wang Kerou are both developing very well in Jiangnan. Even if he leaves the Huai'an army alone, he will definitely be called a prince within three to five years.

"The General and his brothers have deeply felt the changes in the affairs of the army over the past year." After taking a deep breath, Wang Xuan bowed again. "The General Manager is also very concerned about the General Manager. Even if the General Manager leaves the General Manager and establishes his own business, he will be only a local prince at most in the future. His days will be free and free for more than ten years. When our Huaian Army will sooner or later, the General Manager will definitely not allow a country in the country to appear on Shandong Road. The General Manager and General are afraid that they have already had ambitions at that time and will bring all the brothers under him to the dead end. Instead of doing so, it is better to make a decision now."

Note 1: Kangli Slaves, Hama and Xuexue, both are from Kangli. When the Song and Yuan dynasties were alternated, Kangli was originally a herdsman of Hanako Mo Kingdom. Later, he was conquered by Genghis Khan and his clan became slaves. With the continuous growth of the Mongol Empire, he gradually gained a free identity and was regarded as a different Mongolian tribe. However, the orthodox Mongols did not consider Kangli people to be the same clan.
