Chapter 70 Chapter 70 Chasing Yuan Bing Straight Out of Xianyang Four Generals Capture Zhang Liangfu
The four generals traveled in the snow at night.The sky will be bright and we have reached the foot of Mount Wutai.Just as he was about to go up the mountain to see Zhang Sanfeng, there happened to be a little Taoist boy sweeping snow outside the door, so he said to Tang He: "Four generals, aren't they sent by Marshal Xu of the Ming Dynasty to meet Master Sanfeng?" After hearing this, Tang He said "Your master is really supernatural. How did you know that we are here? The four of us are here to visit Master Sanfeng, please guide me." The boy said: "Our master met the Tianmu messenger in the nunnery yesterday morning. Zhou Dian, Tieguan Taoist Zhang Jinghua, and Bubai Tiantong Zhang Jinbo three people, Ruanliu drank wine against Yi, and suddenly saw two lights of fire in the cup going straight to the northwest, so he said to the three of them: "Today, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will attack Taiyuan with fire. Now, the four of us can cross the crane and go down the mountain, taking advantage of the momentum to lead Zhu Liangzu and Xue Xian to chase after Yuan soldiers, and we have gone through Luzhou, Fenzhou, Naozhou, Xinzhou, Shuozhou, Daizhou, and Lanzhou. Surrender, all three prefectures and eighteen prefectures belong to Daming, so as to become a unified industry; how many lives have been saved, how?" The three of them responded, "Okay." My master will go across the crane, and told me: " At dawn tomorrow, four generals will come here to look for me in the snow. You can reply directly by saying that I have protected generals Zhu and Xue. When you go to Qionghua Temple, you will know the difference. This book can be given to Tang, Guo, Fu, and Hua for public reading. There is another book, which is to be taken by the fourth master, and given to General Chang Yuchun to collect and dismantle it.' These books are all here." After hearing the news, the four knew about General Zhu and Xue, so they opened the previous book with a smile to read.I saw a poem written on it, saying:
On the right, the Qionghua Temple in Yangzhou is uniform, please ask for government.Under the command of four generals Tang, Guo, Fu, and Hua.
The four people looked at it, but they didn't know what it meant, so they presented the incense and candle etiquette in front of the boy, saying: "This is the favor of Marshal Xu. Today I don't see Master Daofan, so I respect this mountain to show my gratitude." The boy The four generals accepted it, because please go up the mountain to Qingzhai to make offerings.The four generals said: "The military situation is very important, so I dare not delay." Immediately resigned from the boy, straddled the horse and walked closely.Along the way, the weather was snowy, foggy, sunny, windy and sunny, and Penglai, the world that can be described and painted, is everywhere.In the afternoon, he arrived at the camp, and it happened that Chang Yuchun was also present.The four of them explained the preparations in detail.Xu Da said: "In this case, generals Zhu and Xue must have disappeared." The four of them handed another book to Chang Yuchun and said, "This book was sent by Zhang Sanfeng to the general to open." When I looked at it in a hurry, it was also a four-line poem:
Chang Yuchun was stunned for a long time when he saw it, because he said to everyone: "This poem was written when my old mother gave birth to a child. It was only three days ago. Suddenly an old man came to the front of the hall and said, "Your newborn son is very talented. Good thing, I have a little poem, which is a prophecy for his life, you can take it and keep it.' After saying that, the old man disappeared. Later, when he grew up, his mother put this poem in her bag and paid for it. I take it in. I will take it with me when I am ordered to go out. Looking at this poem and the characters now, it is no different from the handwriting of the previous poem, so I am surprised." As he said, he took out the poem in the purple pouch from his left hand. Look, there is no difference.Everyone was also surprised.It happened to be reported in front of the camp: "Generals Zhu and Xue are here." Xu Da hurried out of the tent and said, "Where are the two generals coming from? I'll be looking for them in the camp. I'm very anxious." Zhu Liangzu and Xue Xian then said: " When the two of us were chasing Wang Baobao with the generals, we wanted to withdraw our troops. Suddenly, a Taoist pointed his finger and said, "Two generals, isn't Wang Baobao riding in front? You two don't catch him now. When will you wait?" The two of us rode our horses to drive away. Wang Baobao flew away in smoke, and our two horses followed him like smoke. By the end of the day, we had passed Lu'an and other mansions. Just listen to passers-by saying: "It's really Divine soldiers descended from the sky, whoever dared to disobey.' At night, they couldn't stop the horse's head, but when they saw a Toutuo and three Taoist priests riding a crane, they felt seven or eighty thousand people following behind. Therefore, Luzhou, Fenzhou, Shuozhou, Xinzhou, Naozhou, Daizhou, Lanzhou, all the land in Shanxi, the three prefectures and eighteen prefectures all paid the money. This morning, we will come back on horseback to see the Marshal.” Xu Da was overjoyed.This is the first month of the Siyou spring in the second year of Hongwu. After Shanxi was pacified, officials were sent to apply for Jinling, and at the same time, they held a banquet to congratulate the two generals Zhu and Xue.Talking about Zhang Sanfeng's miraculous and other things in the wine, everyone's expression is relaxed.
The next day, Xu Da led his troops to Shaanxi.When the soldiers arrived at Tongguan, they met with Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng, and discussed the acquisition of the counties in Shaanxi.All the generals said: "Zhang Sidao's talent is not as good as Li Siqi's, and Qingyang is weak, so it is easy to go to Lintao. It is better to take Qingyang first, and then enter Lintao from Longxi." It is easy to break through. The land of Lintao is connected to Longyou in the west and Hehuang in the north. The people there are enough to prepare for battle; The counties are going down." The generals were pleased.Then he marched and conquered Longzhou, Qinzhou and Gongchang.Because of the gathering of horses and infantry, they all went straight to Zilan Beach, five miles east of Lintao Mansion, and set up camp.Xu Da said to the generals: "I think that Qi Qi is already poor, and if he has one person to tell him about his interests, he will come to surrender." Cai Qian wanted to go.Xu Da ordered light clothes to go to the city to meet Siqi.Cai Qianwei reluctantly persuaded him to pay the money.Siqi hesitated, and his adopted son Zhao Chuan stopped him and said: "If we are not victorious, there is still Xifan to fight with." But all the generals replied in unison: "It's better to surrender early to avoid killing and wounding; besides, there are millions of soldiers in the Yuan Dynasty and we can't do it." Victory, even Xifan is useless, it is better to surrender." Siqi followed Cai Qian to beg for surrender.Xu Da treats him with the gift of the country.After appeasing the people, they raised troops to attack Qingyang.
The city was guarded by Zhang Sidao and his younger brother Zhang Liangfu.When Zhu's army was in battle, Guo Ying attacked the city.Thinking about the Tao means that you want to lead your troops out to meet them.Liangfu stepped forward and said: "The army of the Ming Dynasty is as powerful as a mountain, and Li Siqi surrendered, what will you do, brother! My brother's intention is not as good as dedicating the city pretendingly, stabbing Xu Da in order to repay the Lord Yuan, and it also shows our loyalty. If you go out alone, you will have no backup; if you abandon the city and go away, you will be ridiculed, brother, please save him." Thinking of the way, he opened the door and surrendered.Guo Ying introduced Xu Da.Xu Da left his generals to guard Qingyang; he ordered Zhang Sidao and others to march westward to Pingliang Mansion with the army.On the second day of the road, when the army arrived at the boundary of Yanling, Sidao relied on his soldiers to be strong and strong, and he had Wang Baobao as his support, He Zongzhe as his wings, and Pingzhang Yaohui as his minions. Seeing that Xu Da's former army had gone, he killed thousands of soldiers. People cut half of the food and grass, and headed northward.Whistle to inform Xu Da.Xu Da was shocked, and said: "It's true that when the sea is dry, you will see the bottom, and you don't know your heart when you die. Unexpectedly, Brother Sidao is so treacherous and vicious." That is to say, Guo Ying, Zhu Liangzu, and Fu Youde each led three thousand soldiers and horses, and chased them in three ways. .
Let's talk about Sidao and his younger brother Liangfu, who killed more than three thousand Zhu soldiers and grabbed tens of thousands of grain and grass. He was very happy. So he reined in his horse and came to ask.Liangfu didn't know the reason, so he said: "I am Zhang Liangfu and my brother Sidao. I recently surrendered Marshal Xu of the Ming Dynasty in Qingyang. Now I am ordered to go to Shanxi and Hebei to urge food." Liao Yongzhong thought: "I am ordered to urge food, Is there any reason for him to urge again? Besides, money and food are always important matters, and the marshal will never send a new general, and why is there no one else to urge him, just use his two brothers?" He shouted: "You have urged Why don't Liangfu go forward and go north instead, he must be a traitor who surrendered and rebelled, who robbed me of our grain and grass." Liangfu was told by Yongzhong, and he didn't respond, so he brandished a knife to attack the enemy.Yongzhong fought hard against his two brothers, but before the end of the battle, it happened that Guo Ying, Zhu Liangzu, and Fu Youde arrived, and they attacked twice.Xu Da sent four generals to copy his way in and out, Yu Tongyuan to the west, Fu Youde to the east, Zhu Liangzu to the south, and Gu Shi to the north.Liangfu sent people to Ningxia to ask for help in the middle of the night, but was taken by the patrol army again, so no news was heard from him.There was no food in the city, so they had to boil human juice and eat it with mud.Xu Da sent people around to issue orders, saying: "The rebels are only brothers Zhang Liangfu, and the rest are good people. If anyone is captured alive, he will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver; if he beheaded, he will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver; if he opens the door and surrendered, he will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver." If you finally resist, you will be slaughtered the day the city is destroyed." Liangfu's subordinate Wanhu wields Yao Hui and his son Yaoping to discuss, falsely claiming that the city wall of Ximen will fall, and ask Liangfu to go to Xicheng City to explore and repair it.Liangfu only said it was true, and he went to Ximen as expected.His father and son stepped forward and hacked to death, taking advantage of the momentum to open the door and surrender.Xu Da led his troops into the city.Because Zhang Sidao was about to throw his wife into the well, he was offered by the sergeant owl.Xu Daring ordered the leader to go all the way, and put out the list to calm the people.So the eight prefectures in Shaanxi were all pacified.On the next day, he won the table.When the official came out of the city, it was reported that the imperial decree had arrived. Xu Da immediately arranged the incense table to welcome him to the hall.The envoy announced the imperial edict.I don't know what's going on, let's see the next chapter to break it down.
