Chapter 25 Tsing Yi Bloody
Three or five days later, Gu Yun came to visit Xu You. He had already received news that Xu You had completely recovered, and he was indescribable from the corners of his eyes to the tips of his eyebrows. He held Xu You's hand and refused to let go, and said, "Weizhi, finally God has eyes, let you get through this disaster!"
"Yes, escaping from death is a great deal of emotion!" Xu You welcomed Gu Yun to the room and smiled and said, "I won't be polite to you. I'm used to sitting wherever I sit. After all, you are the master of this house, and I am the guest!"
Gu Yun deliberately frowned, looked around and said, "Where is Lu Shuang? Didn't I tell her to give this house to Weizhi? This little girl can't even spread the word, how did she do it?"
Xu You exclaimed and said, "I really gave it to me? Then I'm disrespectful. Feiqing is generous and I won't make friends like you in vain!"
"Ha, you're thick-skinned!"
Gu Yun smiled so much that he could hardly straighten his waist. He held the table several times and said hard: "If you like it, I'll give it to you!"
It was just a house, and it was a waste of money for Gu Yun. How could Xu You really receive the reward without any merits? He said, "When Qiantang is recovered, I have to go back to Jingyuan. What do you want to do in Wuxian's house? I appreciate Feiqing's kindness!"
Gu Yun understood his temper and did not force it. Besides, Xu You was not a person who was short of money and needed help from friends to survive. The two sat opposite each other and talked about the situation in Yangzhou. Gu Yun sighed: "Qiu Yuan defended Jiaxing and shrank in a corner. He no longer dared to send a soldier and a soldier out. Tianshi Army, oh, now it is not called Tianshi Army. The imperial court and Hemingshan jointly told the world that the rebels led by Du Mingyu and Liu Tao were white thieves. This time, Yangzhou was in chaos and had nothing to do with Tianshi. Anyone who was deceived and followed the thief would turn against him and surrender at the same time. Those who were abandoned and surrendered will not be held accountable for the crime of complying with him. If they could capture Baishi and submit more than ten generals, they would be rewarded. Those who killed Liu Yu and Du Mingyu would be rewarded with 10 gold, a marquis, and a general of Jin!"
"White thief?"
"Yes, after many inquiries from the Silifu, the reason why Du Mingyu was able to gather people to cause trouble this time was that in addition to the Tianshi Daodao people in Yangzhou, some of them were evading taxes and service households. Most of these gentry households were small commoners who pretended to be overseas Chinese and mixed with white citizenship. The problems were found during the inspection of their household registration last year. The court wanted to pursue their crimes and taxes, so they followed Du Mingyu to rebel. In order to eliminate the adverse effects of the Tianshi Dao, the court deliberately amplified the role of the gentry households in the rebels, so they were collectively called white thieves."
Xu You was familiar with history books and was not unfamiliar with the title of Bai Thief. The riot in the Southern Qi Dynasty was caused by the riots caused by the damage to the interests of common people and landlords and wealthy families during the inspection of the family. The official title of them by the Southern Qi court was Bai Thief. Now that time has changed and space has changed, Du Mingyu has made great plans, and it is not comparable to Tang Yu's short-sightedness. However, the name Bai Thief, which was recorded in history, still appears uncontrollably.
As for the prosecutor's procuratorate last year, Zhan Hong was one of the victims, and was extorted by the Lu Hui for more than 2 million yuan. The Zhan family had a great fortune and could afford 2 million yuan, but many wealthy families did not have such great tolerance. Once they were forced by corrupt officials, they were left with no way out, and they were bewitched by Du Mingyu and rose up again. This is not incomprehensible.
"The white thief soldiers pointed directly at Jiaxing and scolded outside the city wall for a long time, trying to trick Qiu Yuan out of the city. Qiu Yuan ignored it and only defended himself by the strong city and high walls. But now it is found that the white thiefs in Jiaxing are just suspicious soldiers, and their main force has gone northwest!"
"Northwest...Wuxing County?"
"Well, Wuxing! If you occupy Wuxing, you can open up Wanling and Dangtu's front line, thus threatening Jinling. Du Mingyu, under the banner of "resisting violence against Chu and saving the Heavenly Master", gathered 50,000 people under his command. It seems that he does have the intention to attack the capital!"
The thief was just a small thief, but attacking the capital made a demand for the emperor's throne, and the nature had undergone a fundamental change. It can be seen that because he was unwilling to abandon the most useful golden signboard of Tianshidao, Du Mingyu could only force himself to go to Jinling. Xu You had already calculated this move and was not surprised, saying, "What do Shen plan to do?"
"What can I do? Wuxing is the county of Shen, and I will definitely not give up until I have no choice. Shen's generals and Jiangdong tyrants have raised countless private soldiers. If you really fight, even if you can't win, you may not be able to defend Wuxing!"
Xu You looked solemn and said, "Feiqing and I have the same view as the opposite!"
"Oh?" Gu Yun was stunned and said, "Weizhi, please give me advice!"
"Du Mingyu's goal this time is to stabilize the morale of the army and offset the negative impact of Sun Guan and the court. Therefore, he can only win, not lose! Even if he loses, he must first plunder enough money, grain and personnel to explain to his subordinates." Xu You's smile was a little cold, and he said: "As for Shen, although Shen Muzhi is a master, he is cunning, suspicious, and fickle. In order to preserve Shen's strength, he probably won't fight Du Mingyu to the end."
"Well, what does Weizhi mean?"
"If I expected it was not bad, at the beginning, Du Mingyu will win a great victory, Shen Muzhi will be defeated, and then retreated from Yuhang, Wukang and Linxi to Wucheng County, the county seat. If Shen Muzhi is so bold, even Wucheng can be abandoned, and then continue to retreat to Changxing, Yuanxiang and other places, and choose a dangerous place to defend and wait for assistance. Du Mingyu will be defeated and will be defeated. When the imperial army arrives, he will retreat immediately. It is okay to go to Wucheng and return to Qiantang. It depends on the situation of the battle at that time, and then make a choice!"
Gu Yun was convinced and praised: "It is a good plan and a victory thousands of miles away. The truth of the matter can be said to be the one who stays here!"
As expected, the war developed according to Xu You's estimate. The white thief first defeated Yuhang, then Wukang, and suddenly swept Yu Qian and Lin'an to the west, and then captured Linxi and Anji to the north.
There were ten counties in Wuxing County, six counties who were involved in the thief.
The Shen family seemed to resist fiercely every time, but in fact they were about to collapse at once. They fought and retreated while fighting, and their strength was not damaged at all. They also took advantage of the chaos to plunder the wealth of many inferior gentry, which was called "Sturdy walls and clearing the fields", and did not leave a monday, one meter and one cloth for the white thief.
However, there were also Xu You who did not expect it. During this expedition, Du Mingyu did not use Liu Gui as the commander, but transferred Qianye to commander the army from another place. At his twenties, he became the commander of the first army, which shows that this son was deeply trusted by Du Mingyu and outstanding in his talent!
Qianye did not let Du Mingyu down. In the battle of Wuxing, 50,000 white thieves were sometimes as fast as a tiger, sometimes as cunning as a cunning fox, as fast as the wind, as powerful as fire, and invincible.
On the night of October 23, the white thieves gathered their troops and surrounded them three times, causing Wu Cheng to escape from the water!
The world is shocking!
Without waiting for Shen Muzhi's request for help, the court appointed Xiao Yushu as the general of the East. The commander of the military commander Yangzhou, Jiangzhou, Nanyuzhou, Nanyanzhou, and Nanxuzhou, led 30,000 troops in the central army, and rushed to Yangzhou!
"Where has Chiba been?"
The room was brightly lit, and Xu You ordered people to make a simple sand table with mud, pointing to the shape of the painting, integrating the mountains and rivers of Wuxing County. Although time was tight and the production was rough, it was clear at a glance, which was amazing.
He Ru inserted a small red flag into the sand table and said, "Yinfeng Valley! Seven miles away from Wucheng, Qianye's handsome tent must be built in this valley!"
Xu You looked at it for a while and asked, "Has the central army been dispatched?"
The Winter Solstice hurriedly said: "The Central Army left Jinling six days ago. If there was no delay on the way, it should have arrived in Changxing County now! It takes only 30 miles from Changxing to Wu, and it can be reached overnight!"
Zuo Qi frowned and said, "Where is moving eastward? Why didn't Qianye capture Dongqian County? The eastward migration is more than 30 miles away from Wucheng. Shen's heavy troops are stationed here, making them support each other, and they are actually thorns in the flesh. Why not pull them away as soon as possible?"
"I got the news from Gu Fujun that the guards who moved eastward are Chen Qing!"
"Chen Qing..."
Xu You raised his head, his eyes were as cold as a knife, and said, "Is it the Chen Xiaosun, who calls himself Qingyi?"
The Winter Solstice was frightened by Xu You's gaze and did not dare to look directly. He lowered his head and said, "Yes, Shen Qingyi, some people call him Blood Bah!"
Chen Qing, Chen Muzhi's fifth son, whose courtesy name was Xiaosun and his pseudonym Qingyi. Because his eyes grew above the top, some people joked that he was "Bi". Instead, he claimed to be "Bi". He went to the Northern Wei Dynasty to fight in the blood and dyed the robe, also known as "Bi"!
Xu You will never forget this person. The Yixing Incident was that Chen Qing led his troops to the Xu family's fortress first, and dozens of relatives died under his knife.
The bloody hatred must be avenged!
