Dakui led hundreds of red scarf soldiers to protect King Xiao Ming as he fled south, then turned west and passed through Tianchang County. Fortunately, he encountered no Yuan soldiers along the way. When he was about to enter Tianchang County, he came to a valley. Dakui did not dare to be careless.
, ordered people to go and inquire about it. After a while, the spies reported that there was no ambush in the valley. Dakui said loudly: "I have inquired about it, so we can't be careless. Pass through this valley quickly and follow me!" After that, he took the lead!
Rush into the canyon.
The red scarf soldiers behind him will protect Xiao Ming's horse and follow closely. The sound of hoofbeats is so frightening that all the birds on both sides of the valley are frightened and small beasts are flying. In a blink of an eye, Dakui leads the people out of the canyon. Unexpectedly, thousands of people and horses suddenly appear in front of them.
.You couldn't see where the soldiers and horses were from a distance. Dakui didn't do anything, so he wanted to give instructions: "Protect His Majesty King Ming, I'll go and take a look!"
After saying that, Da Kui rode his horse and picked up his spear and headed straight towards the thousands of troops in front of him. He couldn't help but secretly plan in his mind: 'If the Yuan soldiers and troops come, they should first take the heads of the enemy generals.' Thinking of this, Da Kui urged his horses even more hastily. In the blink of an eye, these thousands of troops were there.
In front of the formation, I couldn't help but be overjoyed when I saw it. The thousands of people on the opposite side were all wrapped in red scarves, but they were our own.
Dakui came to the front of the formation and raised his voice and asked: "Who is on the opposite side? Please come out and speak to the general who is leading the army." He saw a horseman separated from the others and came to Dakui. Dakui saw that this man was in his prime, but he was different from him.
He looks like a man. Although he is wearing an iron armor and a red scarf on his head, he doesn't know what his official position is.
The general opposite raised his hands on horseback and said: "I am the Jiangnan Red Scarf forward general Liao Yongzhong. The person opposite is General Zhang, the privy envoy Shenwei?" When Dakui heard this, he was overjoyed, but still raised his voice and asked: "Do you have a token?" Liao
Yongzhong reached out and took out a token from his saddlebag and threw it to Dakui with shaking hands. Dakui reached out and grabbed it, held it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.
Dakui didn't recognize the words on the token, but the pattern on the token was somewhat similar to his own. Little did he know that Dakui's token was from the first rank, while Liao Yongzhong's was from the third rank, so the patterns could only be similar. Because Da Kui's token was from the first rank.
The official system of the Song Dynasty was different, so the styles and patterns of the tokens of various civil servants and military officers were also different.
When Dakui saw the token, he smiled and said: "I was shocked, I thought I met Yuan Bing again, hahaha." After saying that, he turned around and waved, and then the people at the mouth of the canyon rushed over to protect Xiao Ming.
When Liao Yongzhong saw King Xiao Ming in the crowd, he couldn't help but dismounted from his horse and knelt down: "General Liao Yongzhong is here to see His Majesty King Ming!" King Xiao Ming was still in shock. When he saw Liao Yongzhong saluting, he just waved and said: "General Liao, please rise.
"Liao Yongzhong stood up and said: "The general has been appointed by Duke Wu to pick him up. Duke Wu has ordered that His Majesty King Ming be delivered safely to Chuzhou. Your Majesty, please be on your way."
Having said that, Liao Yongzhong turned around and mounted his horse. He led two thousand men and horses to open the way first, and the rest of the men and horses were behind. King Xiao Ming was right in the middle of the troops. From here, Da Kui felt relieved. Although the road to Chuzhou was long, it was still a long way.
The area close to the Yangtze River, especially Tianchang County and Chuzhou, has been captured by Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang, and there are no dangers on the road.
The team entered Tianchang County. Everyone had a nice bath and a full meal at the Red Scarf Army Camp, and then went to have a rest. No one would think about it anymore, because they no longer had the energy to think. All the way.
The bloody storm had already exhausted these people's physical strength, and some of them had already fallen asleep in the bathtub.
The team rested in Tianshui for two days and then continued to march westward. Since there were no more dangers, the team kept marching slowly. After walking for more than ten days, they arrived at Chuzhou. After entering Chuzhou City, King Ming settled in a courtyard in the west of the city. Here
The courtyard occupies a very large area and is divided into five sections. Liao Yongzhong sent hundreds of maids and servants to take care of King Xiao Ming's daily life. Dakui and several generals and lieutenants lived in the outer house.
In the blink of an eye, two months later, it was already autumn. News came from Anfeng that Liu Futong and Anfeng's red scarf defenders, about 70,000 people, were killed in battle. When the two reinforcements sent by Wu Guogong arrived, Anfeng had already broken through.
The city was occupied for several days. General Chang Yuchun, the leader of the Red Turban reinforcements from the right, fought with Zhang Shicheng's general Lu Zhen for several days. Lu Zhen was defeated, and Chang Yuchun took advantage of the situation and occupied Anfeng.
The bad news of Liu Futong's death in battle came, and King Xiao Ming burst into tears. Liu Futong was the pillar of the Song Dynasty. Now that he was dead, An Feng had made King Xiao Ming suffer from heartache and fainting. Within a few days, King Xiao Ming couldn't sleep at night without thinking about food and tea.
Dakui and the generals tried to persuade him for many days but saw no improvement. Liao Yongzhong received Zhu Yuanzhang's order and wanted to take Prince Xiao Ming to Yingtian. Unexpectedly, Prince Xiao Ming could not afford to fall ill, so he lingered on his sick bed.
Time flew by, and the New Year passed in the blink of an eye. King Xiao Ming's condition gradually improved. Liao Yongzhong advised King Xiao Ming to cross the river to Yingtian, where half of the country in the red scarf was still there, and he could make a comeback.
King Xiao Ming followed the advice and was escorted by Dakui and other generals to the Yangtze River Wharf in Chuzhou.
The boats were all ready at the pier. Liao Yongzhong led the way and boarded a large carved boat first. Prince Xiao Ming and other generals then boarded the boat. Dakui took Hongyun and was about to board the boat when Liao Yongzhong stretched out his hand to stop him: "General Zhang, the boat ahead."
It is full and there is no room for the horses. Please ask General Zhang to board the boat alone." Dakui asked puzzledly: "What should I do with my horses?" Liao Yongzhong said: "Of course I will get on the back boat." Dakui looked at Liao Yongzhong and thought:
"King Xiao Ming has all the generals here, so nothing will happen. He is not good at words, so it is better not to get on the front boat." Thinking of this, he said: "Then I will get on the back boat with my horse." After that, he led Hongyun.
Got on the back boat.
Liao Yongzhong then called the entourage on board to disembark and lead all the horses onto the back boat. Although the boat was large, there were nearly a hundred horses and more than ten boatmen and helmsmen. There was not much space left, so Da Kui had to stand with an iron gun.
To the bow of the ship.
After the two ships pulled anchor and set sail, Da Kui sat on the spacious deck and collapsed. Now Da Kui just felt exhausted physically and mentally and tired of the military. Thinking of settling down the little Ming King, he resigned from his official position and buried himself in a foreign country. After thinking about it, he unknowingly happened.
Fell asleep.
He didn't know how long he had been sleeping when he suddenly heard the chaos around him. Da Kui hurriedly opened his eyes and sat up, and then he heard a boatman shouting next to him: "Someone in the boat ahead has fallen into the water." After hearing this, Da Kui looked towards the boat in front and saw someone.
He kept jumping into the river, as if he was rushing to save someone. He hurriedly asked the boatman next to him: "Brother, what happened ahead?" The boatman said: "The boat was going well, and suddenly I saw someone on the boat in front of me.
Fell into the water." Dakui thought, 'Who will fall into the water? It must be the boatman who punts the boat. The boatman knows how to swim. It won't be a problem.'
But then they discovered that the boat in front had stopped there. A group of generals and generals were standing beside the boat with anxious faces, knowing that something was wrong. They turned around and hurriedly asked the boatman to get closer.
When the two boats got close, Dakui jumped onto the front boat. At this time, the familiar generals were already full of anxiety and they all stood beside the boat and stamped their feet anxiously. Dakui went up and grabbed one of the generals by the arm and asked: "Come out."
What happened?" When the general saw Da Kui, he burst into tears and said, "General Zhang, Prince Xiao Ming fell into the water." Da Kui was stunned for a long time and asked sternly: "Prince Xiao Ming was in the cabin, how could he fall into the water?"
