Chapter 101 Yuzhou Rebellion

"Although Liu Thief and Zuo Liangyu on the ground in Nanyang are finished, the matter is not over yet."

Ying Yi looked at the night sky and said with a serious expression, "You should know my purpose."

Zhou Li and Zhu Bingkun looked at each other and said in unison: "Please give me your instructions."

Ying Yi nodded slightly: "I want to take advantage of the victory to take over the entire Nanyang Mansion." He turned around and said: "Zhou Li, you go and choose a thousand horses and a thousand armors immediately. In half an hour, I want to see them all." A thousand soldiers armed."

"Here!" Zhou Li turned and left without hesitation.

Ying Yi said to Zhu Bingkun: "I will take Zhou Li and his thousand soldiers and horses to Yuzhou later and capture Yuzhou City before dawn. The remaining two thousand soldiers and horses will be entrusted to you."

Zhu Bingkun nodded calmly.

Ying Yi raised a finger: "I'll give you one day at most." He then pointed to the Bai River Valley under the mountain ridge: "There are more than 33,000 prisoners here. You have to screen and select them for me in no more than one day." .”

After a pause, Ying Yi said: "Find all the bandit leaders and kill them for me. I don't want any of them. The officers and soldiers screened them and picked out those who had no evil deeds. If they did, I killed them all." The rest will be taken into custody together with the bandits and used as free labor in the future."

Zhu Bingkun suddenly felt quite stressed, but he beat his chest without hesitation and said: "Don't worry, sir, my subordinates will definitely take care of it."

"Okay." Ying Yi nodded: "The selected ones with no evil deeds will be sent to Yuzhou City as candidates for army expansion. In three days at most, I will occupy the entire Nanyang Mansion."

Then he said: "You will send someone back to Crescent Valley later to inform my father-in-law Taishan of the situation here one by one, and escort him to Yuzhou as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir."

Half an hour later, Ying Yi set off with Zhou Li and a thousand other fully armed soldiers and horses. The troops were directed towards Yuzhou City.

Zuo Liangyu and his son are dead, more than 30,000 soldiers and horses are either dead or surrendered, and Yuzhou City is empty. He was about to take advantage of this opportunity to capture Yuzhou - and Ding Qirui had no need to continue living - this area did not need a governor to restrain him.

It has to be said that Ying Yi is extremely bold, but for a time traveler, this shouldn't be a big deal - he doesn't think there are any evil consequences in killing Ding Qirui - apart from having orthodox famous weapons, the Ming Dynasty has no other way to suppress it. Ying Yi.

Zuo Liangyu can kill, and so can Ding Qirui.

What's more, Ying Yi also wants the famous weapon of the Ming Dynasty. For the court or the emperor, it's just a change of 'warlord'. Although things will not change, they will not be worse than before.

Not obedient anyway.

As long as Ying Yi doesn't go too far and pull the pole to stand on the top of the mountain without knowing it, there is actually no hidden worry.

The court no longer has the strength to deal with him.

Fourth watch, a thousand cavalry troops - we can't say cavalry, Ying Yi has no cavalry. Just infantrymen mounted on war horses can be called horse troops - Ying Yi led a thousand horse troops to march silently on the road to Yuzhou. Passing by the battlefield, the bloody smell still lingered in the sky.

We were marching, but one night we didn't collect any reports.

"Sir, something abnormal happened in Yuzhou!"

Ying Yi was startled, hurriedly waved his hand to stop the army, and reined in his horse by the roadside: "What's abnormal?!"

This night, the busiest thing is not to collect food at night. I had been monitoring the battlefield before, and since then I have been monitoring the movements in the direction of Yuzhou and relaying them to Ying Yi at any time.

Ye Bushuai said: "Sir, a troop of about five thousand soldiers and horses has just arrived in Yuzhou."

"oh?"

Ying Yi's expression changed and he said, "Where did the soldiers and horses come from? Who is leading the troops?"

"They are the troops from the imperial court coming from the direction of Xiangyang. Their military situation is slightly more rigorous than that of Zuo Liangyu. They also cruise around Zuo near at night. The subordinates would be frightened and dare not approach, and they have never discovered the identity of the leading general."

Ying Yi nodded. He waved his hand and said, "Let's explore again."

After sending Ye Bao away, Ying Yi called Zhou Li to his side: "Let the soldiers rest on the spot first, and wait for Ye Bao to receive any news."

Zhou Li also heard Ye Bu's reward and knew that things had changed. He didn't dare to neglect it and went down.

Ying Yi thought in his mind: "The five thousand soldiers and horses coming from the direction of Xiangyang, are they Yang Wenyue or someone else? It must be Ding Qirui who is worried about Zuo Liangyu, so he recruited them from Xiangyang..."

"It's just that the sudden arrival of five thousand soldiers and horses is a bit troublesome. Zuo Liangyu should have left about five thousand in Yuzhou City, and the next five thousand will be ten thousand. I only have these one thousand men, and I'm afraid I won't get any benefits from fighting in the streets in the city. "

Therefore, Ying Yi felt a little hesitant.

"In the previous night battle, someone must have escaped. He might have returned to Yuzhou and reported the battle situation here to Ding Qirui, so that Ding Qirui could take precautions. I originally wanted to take advantage of the situation and attack Yuzhou directly, but I didn't expect something like this would go wrong."

Although something went wrong, Ying Yi remained calm in his heart and made a decision as soon as he thought: "No matter what, we must work hard to achieve the goal. There can be no hesitation, otherwise once you are delayed here, you will be waiting for the intruder." react to..."

Ying Yi was deeply aware of the seriousness of the matter. He took a breath and shouted: "Everyone is here, set off immediately, speed up, and target Yuzhou City!"

The distance from Baihe River Valley to Yuzhou City is only more than twenty miles, and people can borrow horse power for up to half an hour. Ying Yi led an army of a thousand cavalry and rolled forward. After a few miles passed by, they encountered another night without warning.

"grown ups!"

Ye Bushou said: "Chaos has arisen in Yuzhou City."

"Chaos?"

Ying Yi was stunned for a moment, his mind turned around, his eyes shone brightly, and he shouted: "Speed ​​up, keep accelerating, fast, fast, fast!"

His whip was crackling and his horse was galloping. The thousand-horse army behind him was too busy to speed up to keep up.

...

Yuzhou City was in chaos at this time.

Hu Dawei's soldiers and horses arrived on the front foot, and chaos broke out in Yuzhou City on the back foot. The chaos came so suddenly that Ding Qirui was caught off guard. When chaos broke out in the city, Ding Qirui was meeting Hu Dawei.

Moreover, Ding Qirui realized later and did not notice it as early as possible. By the time he got the news, it was already too late.

"what happened?!"

Ding Qirui was furious: "Why is there chaos? Where is Ma Shixiu? Call him to see me!"

Hu Dawei was tall and strong, standing next to Ding Qirui, his unshaven face full of doubts.

"Supervisor, this..."

He was also an experienced soldier and quite capable, so he immediately made a suggestion: "Supervisor, according to the last general's opinion, we should quickly mobilize troops and horses to quell the chaos."

After hearing this, Ding Qirui was moved in his heart, but then he twisted his beard tangledly and hesitated: "But Zuo Liangyu..."

When Hu Dawei heard this, he suddenly understood.

The soldiers and horses in the city were in chaos, but these soldiers and horses were Zuo Liangyu's soldiers. If the soldiers and horses brought by Hu Dawei are deployed to quell the chaos, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain when Zuo Liangyu comes back.

For a moment, Hu Dawei also hesitated.

Zuo Liangyu is not an easy person to get along with.

The two of them were messy in the wind here, and they were at a loss. Suddenly someone came to report: "Sir..."

Ding Qirui saw that it was the person who had been sent to call Ma Shixiu, and said hurriedly: "Where is Ma Shixiu?!"

The man looked hesitant: "Sir, Ma Shixiu was not found."
