Chapter 21 Strong soldiers and strong horses, Longxing Temple is also!
When the river workers dug it out, they will correspond to the song "Don't tell the stone man to have one eye, and the Yellow River will be beaten and the world will be rebelled. In an instant, the rebellion and the will of heaven can be tied to the will of heaven.
"Han Shantong, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, was sentenced to death by a traitor last month. I guess this must be the rumor that Liu Futong of the White Lotus Sect is ready to rise!" Zhu Qiwu explained to everyone patiently.
When everyone heard this, their blood suddenly became excited.
They have already made preparations. Now they want money and food, and soldiers!
Just wait to do big things with banners!
"Zhongba, let's do it!"
"Yes, Brother Chong Ba, let's take the flag and rebel against him!"
"Brother Chong Bald, everyone will follow you!"
Faced with everyone's request, Zhu Chongba was very satisfied.
This is also the purpose of his gathering of everyone to discuss.
"Qiwu is right. Liu Futong from Yingzhou is probably going to raise an army now, so we can't wait any longer."
"Everyone is ready immediately. As long as there is movement in Yingzhou, we will respond immediately!"
"Take Haozhou down!"
Liu Futong's White Lotus Sect has many people!
Only when they start to raise their troops can the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties be unable to coordinate the siege and suppression.
Otherwise, if Zhu Chongba and his friends raise their troops first, they may soon face heavy troops gathered by the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties.
"Yes, follow Brother Chong, let's fight Haozhou!"
"Capture Haozhou!"
"Capture Haozhou!"
May in the eleventh year of Zhizheng.
In the old Yellow River road outside Yingzhou City, migrant workers who built the river dug out a huge and strange stone man. The stone man had a strange face and only had one eye.
It is exactly the saying "Don't say that the stone man has one eye, and the Yellow River will beat the world to rebel" in the song that has been circulating in recent years.
In an instant, more than 100,000 migrant workers who built rivers outside Yingzhou City were undercurrents.
Liu Futong, who had already been prepared, immediately used the White Lotus Sect to make preparations.
soon.
Liu Futong raised troops outside Yingzhou City, claiming to be a 200,000 army, and vowed to fight against the Yuan Dynasty.
The rebel army used red cloth as headscarves, so it was called the "Red Turban Army"!
The Red Turban Army had sharp troops and conquered Yingzhou City in just two days.
Subsequently, Liu Futong led a large army to conquer Zhu Gao and Cang Li, capturing and killing Meng Yuan tens of thousands.
For a moment, the Central Plains shook, and the Mongolian and Yuan court hurriedly dispatched troops from surrounding Henan, Huaixi, Jinghu and other places to encircle and suppress.
Many of the Mongolian Yuan troops in Haozhou City were also taken away, only about half of them.
Longxing Temple.
Zhu Chongba is planning with more than 20 old brothers.
"Brothers, it's time for us to do a big deal. Haozhou is now empty and its troops are less than 3,000. We can open Haozhou City with just one effort!"
The group of old brothers around were also inspired by the momentum of the Red Turban Army and were ready to go.
"Zhongba, we can't wait any longer. Just tell me, how to fight us, it's absolutely unambiguous!" Tang He said excitedly.
"Yes, Brother Chongba, how can I fight in Haozhou? I'll wait for you to say something." Xu Da said immediately.
"Zhongba, you decide your strategy, let's follow!" Zhou Dexing and others also looked at Zhu Chongba.
The Red Turban Army killed the Mongols and Yuan Tartars in Yingzhou, opened warehouses and released grain to help the victims, and did all the pleasures of practicing the way for heaven.
Tang He, Xu Da and others were once forced to die by the Mongol Yuan court.
Now that the opportunity has come, I wish I could rush into Haozhou City immediately, practice the way for heaven, and kill all the corrupt officials.
"Haozhou City Defense is strong, and there are only two ways to break Haozhou."
Zhu Chongba touched his hair that had grown by about an inch and continued with a serious expression.
"One way is to attack strongly, break through the city defense, and break into Haozhou City."
"Another way, first lure the Yuan army in the city out, and then destroy them. Without the defenders in Haozhou, it will naturally fall into our hands."
After hearing Zhu Chongba's words, Tang He, Xu Da and others were talking nonsense.
Over the past few days, Zhu Qiwu has obtained a lot of military books, such as "The Art of War" and "The Questions of Li Weigong" to tell them.
Tang He, Xu Da and others have already gained a lot of military insights.
After some discussion, they all thought the second method was better.
"Zhongba, the city wall of Haozhou is high and large. Didn't I say that my grandson has to besiege the city ten times the strength of the troops. We have three thousand people, and the Yuan army in Haozhou is also three thousand people. It is impossible to attack the city at all. The second type is better. We will lead the Yuan army out first, and we set up an ambush to kill them without leaving any armor. Haozhou City is ours." Tang He said.
Xu Da and others also agreed with this suggestion.
After all, although Zhu Chongba and his team had 3,000 troops, the casualties would definitely be very serious if they attacked the city. Moreover, the city of Haozhou was sufficient for food and supplies. Even if they did not attack, it would be impossible for the defenders to lose their food and do not have enough food for three or five months.
"We are also discussing with everyone which method is good, so which one is used!" Zhu Chongba said calmly.
This is their first battle to raise troops, and they must win beauty.
Just when most people agreed to lure the Yuan army out of the city to ambush, Zhu Qiwu shook his head.
Seeing this, Zhu Chongba immediately became confused and asked Zhu Qiwu.
"Qiwu, what do you think?"
Zhu Qiwu looked at everyone and said, "I don't think it's good."
"What does it mean? Is this plan not good for luring the enemy out of the city to ambush?" Zhu Chongba asked.
Everyone was also confused.
They all think that this plan is perfect, which can not only destroy the Yuan army, but also capture Haozhou City without any effort.
More importantly, setting up ambush to kill the enemy can also reduce your own casualties.
However, Zhu Qiwu's plan has always been a test of all kinds. Although everyone has doubts, they all want to hear Zhu Qiwu's thoughts.
"Brother, it is of course a good plan to lure the enemy into ambushing, but if it doesn't work, it's a useless plan."
Zhu Qiwu said intently that he had accelerated his brother Zhu Chongba's rebellion.
But they do not have those experiences, and they are still lacking in experience.
"Qiwu, please make it clear, why is our plan useless?" Zhu Chongba asked quickly.
If this plan doesn't work, they will not only fail to conquer Haozhou City, but will also expose their hiding place.
If the Yuan army from several surrounding states attracted a joint siege, it would be a disaster.
"Brother, Luo Wenqing, the governor of Haozhou, is timid. Even if we raise flags and rebel outside the city, he may not dare to send troops out of the city! As for the Daluhua Temur of Haozhou, he is also a similar person." Zhu Qiwu said.
After more than half a year of investigation, Zhu Qiwu has long known everything in Haozhou City.
After listening to Zhu Qiwu's analysis, Zhu Chongba and others immediately felt that it made sense.
Their plans just now were a bit wishful thinking.
Seeing this, Zhu Qiwu followed and said again.
