Chapter 90: The Division of Troops

Chapter 90 Division of the Army

In the evening of that day, Zhu Bashiyi held a banquet in the manor and had a good time with Sesame Li, Zhao Junyong, Mao Gui and others. Early the next morning, the courtyard that was used as the Central Army was vacated and Sesame Li was invited to settle in.

They were all their own brothers, and Sesame Li was not too polite. They immediately ordered people to erect a flagpole in the yard and pulled up the Xuzhou Red Turban flag. Then, they passed down orders and summoned the troops stationed five miles away to move closer to the left army. Relying on the manor, a new camp was erected.

The day before yesterday, he was worried about Zhu Bashiyi's safety, and almost brought out all the Xuzhou army's assets. At this moment, the war soldiers, auxiliary soldiers and personal soldiers of generals at all levels were about 30,000. This scale seemed a bit scary. Therefore, not long after the Xinyingpan was established, a guy driving a carriage and holding a white flag rolled and crawled to the camp gate. He knelt on the ground a few hundred steps away, saying that he was guilty of death, while crying and kowtowing to the camp gate.

Lu Li, the centurion on duty, saw it very strange, and hurriedly took a few smart Red Turban soldiers to ask about it. Among the kowtowers, a round ball of meat immediately crawled out, hugged Lu Li's boots with both hands, and cried loudly: "June, Jun Ye, please spare me. It's not that we were deliberately neglecting, but the Seme Lord in the city was shallow and could not bear some money and food. We had already rushed up yesterday, arrested Ali, and threw it into the prison. Just waited for Governor Zhu to give him the order, and beheaded him for public display. This year, the money and food this year were also loaded on another carriage, and then arrived, and then arrived. Please report to Governor Zhu, and ask him to be kind, mercy!"

"If you ask Jun Ye, you must report to Governor Zhu for me, please be kind to him!" The other kowtowers behind the meat ball also cried in unison as if they had rehearsed countless times in advance.

"Wait, wait, what's going on? Where did you come from? Should you ask to see Governor Zhu or General Li?!" Lu Li was dizzy when he heard this, kicked the meat ball with his feet and whispered.

"Li, Master Li is here too?" The meat ball rolled back and asked with tears in his eyes. Seeing Lu Li's face a look of believing it or not, he immediately crawled back and continued to cry loudly: "Jun Jun, Master Jun is kind. Master Li is in charge of the people's crimes. We should have won the food and shadows long ago. However, in the Feng County, the authority is controlled by the Semu Director, and we wait."

"Shut up! Don't cry, you have something to say!" Lu Li became more and more confused as he heard it. He kicked the ball hard and shouted loudly.

"Yes, Jun Ye!" The tears of the meat ball immediately disappeared as if they were blocked from the water pipe. They knelt straight and continued, "Jun Ye, the young men are all yamen runners in Feng County. I heard from the order of General Zhu, saying that Dalu Wachi, no, let the Tatar Baozhu send someone to take the Asuren, who was captured alive by his old man, back."

This time, Lu Li finally figured it out. It turned out that this group of people came to pick up the captives of Asu, who were purchased by the gentry by Fengfeng County. The carriages were collected by Fengfeng County gentry and temporarily gathered them to repay Governor Zhu's "good intention".

Of course, after seeing the size of the army, the fat ball in front of him had already "deeply" realized that the gifts on the carriage were far from enough to express the respect of the elders of Fengxian to the Red Turban Army. Especially after hearing that General Li also arrived at the north bank of the Yellow River in person, the respect of the elders of Fengxian increased several times in an instant. However, they are currently in the warehouses of the county town, and it takes some time to send them here one after another. I just asked General Li to be kind and notify them before inspecting Fengxian so that they could open the city gates in advance to welcome them, so as to avoid ignorant and perverse people offend General Li's power.

As for the crimes of deliberately owing money and grain to be sent to Xuzhou, driving away the messenger of Xuzhou, and shooting the scouts of the Red Turban Army, they were all instructed by the Semite Director. Now, officials in Feng County, including Daluhua Chi Baozhu, have taken down the Semite Director of the Sky and ready to behead their heads at any time. Lu Li is just thinking that the fat man is farting! Anyway, in the slightly decent cities these days, the market must be controlled by the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite Director of the Semite, for local officials, it is definitely a good deal that can be made without losing money.

"Wait, I'll report to the chief executive for you. As for whether he has time to see you, it's a different story!" Since he had figured out the other party's purpose, Lu Li was not interested in continuing to watch them perform crying scenes. He left a sentence and turned back to the camp.

"I dare not, I dare not! Who is the young man? How dare I ask Mr. Li to see him? I just want him to give me a word of praise. Do he want this Fengxian? When will he want it? I will thank you very much!" Rouqian quickly kowtowed again and emphasized loudly at Lu Li's back.

Sesame Li was discussing with Zhu Bashiyi and others about adding marks to the armor of generals at all levels of the Red Turban Army to identify their identities during wartime. When he heard Lu Li's report, he immediately frowned and whispered, "Let him get out with the prisoners, I have no time to pay attention to him. As for Fengxian, let them cut off the head of the Semu chief clerk and deliver the city redemption materials they think are suitable to be sent to Xuzhou as soon as possible. As long as they are sincere, I don't care about letting them work for a few more months in their current official position!"

"Yes!" Lu Li simply agreed, turned around and sent the officials of Feng County. After a while, he came back and bowed to report, "Report to the Grand Chief Executive, Pizhou and Yizhou have also sent people to you, and requested to provide military supplies!"

"Old Zhao, you send someone to collect all the supplies and send them away! If you give less, scare them and ask them to pay twice the amount. If you give almost the same amount, let them feel at ease and say that we don't have time to pay attention to them now!" Sesame Li was slightly stunned, and then ordered impatiently.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now!" Zhao Jun stood up with a smile. After hearing this, he walked a few steps, turned around and added with a smile, "These bunch of bad bones do not slap on their bodies, and they don't know how painful it is. If you want me to see, you have to send Brother Zhu to come across the river a few times in the future. If you win a battle like the day before yesterday, we won a few more times, and we will not have to worry about the food and grass next year!"

"Hahahahahaha" The generals here had to laugh out loud, and their eyes looked at Zhu Bashiyi were full of friendship. Although the encounter the day before yesterday caused the Zuo Army to be injured, it really made the name of Xuzhou Red Turban. According to this situation this morning, there is probably no need for Sesame Li to send people to threaten them. Those prefectures and counties and forts that had previously refused to express their "respect" to the Xuzhou Army will actively send people to surrender.

Sure enough, not long after, the centurion Lu Li, who was on duty, came to report for the third time. A messenger from Shanzhou, Dangshan and Yucheng, also arrived on fast horses and requested to send gifts to General Manager Li and Governor Zhu to express his respect.

Of course, Sesame Li refused all the gifts that came to the door. However, the instructions from these prefectures and counties were not as polite as before. I just ordered Lu Li to go out and notify the other party and wait for the disposal. As for whether General Manager Li would send someone to take over the county town, it remains to be considered.

After Lu Li was ordered to withdraw, Sesame Li looked back at the confusing generals and explained with a smile: "It's not that I'm petty and I'm not calculating with them. It's that this matter involves the future direction of our Xuzhou army, so it's not careless. Come and take the map for me!"

"Yes!" A personal soldier immediately agreed, took out a roll of map from the room next to him, unfolded it, and hung it carefully on the wall.

Sesame Li stood up, walked quickly to the map, pointed to the cities above and said, "The day before yesterday, General Liu Futong sent someone to send good news. He had already taken down Runing, Xiangcheng and Yancheng, and soon led his troops to restore Bianliang. He ordered us to go south as soon as possible, unplug Suzhou, Mengcheng and other places, and connect the territory of Yingzhou Hongshuang and Xuzhou Hongshuang. I woke up last night and thought that it is not a big deal for our Xuzhou army to keep at home. It is indeed time to let the brothers go out to see the blood. So he decided that after returning this time, he would lead the army south in person."

"I'll go, brother, just sit in Xuzhou!"

"Let me go, our former army hasn't fought for a long time, and it's so uncomfortable!"

"I'll go, brother, our rear army has been practicing according to Brother Zhu's secret technique for three and a half months, and it just happened to be a big deal!" Peng Da, Mao Gui, Wei Zixi, and other generals showed their arms and rolled up their sleeves, rushing to volunteer.

"Our Xuzhou army has never attacked the city except for the internal and external forces to win the battle of Xuzhou. So this time we go south, we must not be careless." Sesame Li waved his hand and said with a smile, "So, I decided that except for the two brothers Zhao Changshi and Zhu, everyone else will go with me. As for Zhao Changshi and Zhu brothers."

Turning his head, he looked at Zhu Bashiyi who was slightly surprised, and continued to add with a smile, "One of them stayed in Xuzhou with their troops, and the other one took all their men and food after returning, and immediately headed northwest to take down the three counties of Dangshan, Yucheng and Xiayi. He threatened Suiyang and acted as an attitude of attacking Bianliang with General Liu Futong from north to south. In this way, the Tartars would definitely not understand the real movements of our Xuzhou army and were out of control. In addition, if you take a piece of land between the new Yellow River and the old Yellow River, you can also supervise the movements on the north bank and warn Xuzhou City at any time!"

After the arrangement was made in an orderly manner, it was obviously thoughtful. When the generals heard it, they clasped their fists and said that it was. Only Zhu Bashiyi agreed, and the expression on his face became more and more confused.

He clearly remembered that just about a month ago, Su Changshi and Yu Zhanjun jointly encouraged him to volunteer to attack Dangshan, Yucheng and Shanzhou, and then escaped from the Xuzhou army alone. He immediately expressed his refusal, but he expected that today, Sesame Li handed over a very similar task to him personally.

Could it be that the man surnamed Su secretly used a solution by Sesame Li? Zhu Bashiyi knew very well about the ability of Mr. Su under his command. The old guy didn't look serious all day long, but he was in a wrong way, but he was forced to do whatever he thought was right. Especially when he knew that he would do anything, he would definitely dare to do anything and keep everyone in the dark.

While he was confused, he heard Sesame Li smile and said, "We all go south and hand over the northern road to Brother Zhu. This burden is indeed too heavy for Brother Zhu. But you have just made your reputation, and the corrupt officials around you are afraid of you. Dangshan, Yucheng and Xiayi counties are not easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they should not be able to stop your full attack. As for Suiyang, you can just put on a stance to scare them. When I finish fighting Mengcheng, I will immediately go north along the Wo Water to meet you!"
