Chapter 122: Rebels set off
Liu Ji and Monk Hengzhou came over, bowed at A Liping, and said, "I have seen the marshal."
"Mr. Liu and the master don't need to be too polite." A Li returned the ceremony and introduced with a smile: "This is Mr. Liu, from Qingtian, Chuzhou, and a famous person in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. We have hired him to be the mastermind; this He is Master Hengzhou. He is very good at martial arts. He is now serving as an instructor in the army. This is my cousin Zhang Wuji."
"I've seen Young Master Zhang."
"The two gentlemen are polite." Is there anything Zhang Wuji doesn't understand?
Liu Ji served as an official in the Yuan Dynasty, when he was determined to exterminate Fang Guozhen. However, Fang Guozhen bribed the officials of the Yuan Dynasty with a lot of money, and was finally recruited and sealed. Liu Ji resigned from his hometown when he saw the corruption of the Yuan Dynasty.
The literati are different from the generals. Even if they join the rebel army and are defeated, the literati will never die. Liu Jineng was invited away by Zhu Yuanzhang. At this time, Tianying Cult sincerely invited him, and he was able to get rid of the knot, so he naturally came out.
Liu Ji has a wide range of friends in Jiangnan, and is familiar with civil affairs. Most of the people in the martial arts are unfamiliar with these, so A Li suggested that all these things be handed over to him.
The four returned to the pavilion, and Liu Ji handed A Li a piece of paper and said, "These are some celebrities in Hangzhou that I have drafted. After the marshal captures Hangzhou, if they are used, they can stabilize the rear as soon as possible."
A Li nodded and said, "Mr. Liu, don't worry, he was an official in the imperial court. As long as he abandons the dark and turns to the light, I will protect the safety of his small family and legal private property."
Liu Ji smiled and said yes, and A Li asked about the price of rice, grain and oil in Taizhou today, and Liu Ji answered fluently.
Ah Li was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Sir is really a pragmatic and capable person, but you followed me, and my grandfather lost his arms."
Liu Ji smiled and said, "The marshal is overrated."
Monk Hengzhou said: "Marshal, you can let me go with you too. The army is gone, and it's okay for me to teach at the rear."
A Li smiled and said: "Master, we are going to fight, and fighting will kill people. This is not suitable for monks."
Monk Hengzhou touched his head and said, "Then I'm fine."
Zhang Wuji suddenly smiled and said, "The master has returned to the secular world, so it's time for a big fight. A few years ago, my cousin and I met a Mingjiao friend in Fengyang. He used to be a monk, but now he's a marshal of a rebel army."
Monk Hengzhou was very happy when he heard it, and said, "I don't expect to be a marshal, but in troubled times, I should do something."
Now Buddhism is flourishing, there are many monks, not all monks are empty of the four, Shaolin Sandu is not, extinction is not, Zhu Yuanzhang is not, and Hengzhou is certainly not.
After the two finished talking, they got up and said goodbye without disturbing them too much.
Zhang Wuji watched their backs disappear from sight, and sighed, "Liu Bowen who dominates the world doesn't seem to be anything special."
A Li said: "He is now forty-seven years old. Apart from his reputation as a child prodigy, and he was an official in the Yuan Dynasty and then resigned, what else did he do? A hero is a hero because he made it. What, before you succeed, you don't have enough qi, it's human nature."
Zhang Wuji said, "Life is rare in the seventies, and he has already resigned from the Yuan Dynasty in disappointment. If he doesn't leave the mountains to do a career now, he might not be able to do it in the future. No wonder he will follow..."
Zhang Wuji changed the subject and asked, "Did you invite him to Sangu Maolu?"
A Li said: "That's not true, but I lived in his house for half a year, sometimes playing chess with him, bragging, playing the piano, and writing. His two sons worshiped me as a teacher, and he was happy too. Very. After we captured Taizhou, I ran again and he came with me."
Zhang Wuji smiled slightly, pulled her into his arms, and said, "Don't be too tired."
Nothing could be more bland, but A Li felt at ease and cuddled in her arms. In more than a year, he had never felt so happy and peaceful in his heart.
…
The next day was the auspicious day of the zodiac, and the Tianying Religion Army set off and marched north. In the morning, Yin Tian was hosting a banquet for the generals, and even the common soldiers had enough food.
After the banquet, Yin Tianzheng asked someone to take out a long box and open it. When the generals saw it, their eyes glowed.
I saw an ancient sword that was four feet long in the long box. The scabbard was faintly exuding a layer of blue air, with two words inlaid on gold threads: [Yi Tian].
The generals couldn't help but in an uproar.
Yin Tianzheng said: "Ali, this sword was originally obtained by you and the Spirit Snake Altar. I will give this sword to you today. I hope you will use the Sword of Yitian to expel the Tartars and restore the rivers and mountains of my Han family."
Ah Li did not refuse, he stood up and took it with both hands.
I saw Zhu Hao's eyes sparkling, and they were all curious. At this moment, several members of the Tianying Sect escorted the two up, only to see him with a full beard, a sturdy body, small small eyes, and gray eyeballs, which were very different from those of the Han people in the south.
Yin Tianzheng said: "This person's name is Dalu Chihua. He is a navy admiral of the Yuan family on Fujian Road. If it falls into the hands of my sect, let him sacrifice the flag."
It is very common for the ancients to fight sacrificial flags, and this is not a matter of law.
The people were taken out of the tent, and all the generals wanted to see A Li's Yitian Sword. In fact, the scabbard was already extraordinary. Without the scabbard, the sword could cut off Granny Jinhua's coral-gold walking stick.
The people of the Tianying Sect have let go of Daru Chihua and returned his Mongolian machete instead.
Yin Li said in a cold voice, "As long as you can pick me up, you can live."
Dalu Chihua knew that there was no advance or retreat at this time, and the Mongolian was quite stubborn, pulling out the machete and slashing at her. A Li threw the Yitian Sword upward, and the sword flew into the air with its sheath.
I just felt a cold light flashed, like a lightning in the sky, A Li flew down to the ground, the sword slashed, Daru Chihua's machete was cut like tofu, the sword light swept across, and the head of Admiral Daru Chihua was swept away. It was also cut down flatly, blood gushing wildly.
The sword move was unbelievably fast. One move had already been used, and the scabbard had not yet landed. A Li casually stretched out his hand to catch the scabbard that was falling on his left.
Suddenly, Wu Zheng, a general from the Tianzi Department of Ziweitang, shouted: "The supreme martial artist, the treasured sword slays the dragon, and orders the world, don't dare to obey, don't rely on the sky, who will compete with you!"
All the generals applauded: "If Yitian doesn't leave, who will compete with him?"
A Li crossed the sword's edge, but there was a trace of blood on the tip of the sword. She gently blew the blood beads and returned the sword to the sheath.
Yuan Suiyun had done countless things a thousand times ten thousand times crueler than this, how could he be afraid of death, but it was the first time he saw her kill someone. His white moonlight, cinnabar mole and real wife have always been the Virgin of Kindness, and she actually murdered!
That look was too ordinary, like it was just an ordinary thing. Or, before she knew him, she used to kill a lot of people.
Ling Fei would never tell him how she murdered, but always instilled his benevolence, kindness, righteousness, and just because she knew that he was already too bad a bad thing, and would not encourage such an atmosphere.
After the flag was sacrificed, the morale of the generals was boosted. A Li led the generals to bid farewell to Yin Tianzheng and turned to go to the school grounds.
When the generals returned to their troops, A Li also jumped and jumped on the horse's back, the red cloak flying high. Zhang Wuji and Yang Bugui followed the Qin sisters with the nurse behind her, and Qin Liu and Zhang Hai also followed Ah Li.
The Qin sisters are smart, capable of writing and martial arts, and A Li is a woman, so let them take care of the writing and ink with them. And Qin Liu's eldest brother, second brother and senior brother led the soldiers of Qinglong Tan, and he followed Ah Li as the captain of the messenger.
There was a carriage in the back, and Liu Ji was sitting in it. At this time, he was going to revisit the old place. He made a lot of friends, and with him, many things were much easier to do.
At that time, it was June, and the weather was hot, but most of the official roads to the north of the army were closer to the sea, and the sea breeze was blowing, so it was not so hot.
At this time, the Fang's warlords were leaderless, and it was too late to deploy layers of defenses to resist.
A Li called the generals for a meeting in the evening, and the altar masters of the right-road general and deputy commander Li Tianyuan, Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, Xuanwu, and Spirit Snake also arrived.
Li Tianyuan got up and bowed to Li Tianyuan in person. He invited his uncle to take the seat. Li Tianyuan smiled and said, "Ali is welcome, you are the first righteous person. At this time, the senior brother who went on the expedition has already ordered you to be the commander. Personal relations will be put aside for now."
Li Tianyuan insisted that he had to sit down in the main seat first for business purposes, and asked everyone to take the seats according to their positions.
Zhang Wuji was sitting next to Liu Ji at this time, and he worked as a clerk with him. Seeing that Ah Li's performance was so natural, he was surprised by such politeness.
A Li said: "We have reached the territory of Qingyuan Road. Qingyuan was originally the location of the Marshal's Mansion of Eastern Zhejiang Road.
Li Tianyuan said, "Why don't you just bypass Mingzhou and attack Hangzhou directly? As long as Hangzhou is captured, Mingzhou will be self-defeating."
A Li said: "This is a bit risky. If there is this enemy army behind to make trouble, we must divide our troops. Just in case they cut off our army's supplies."
Wu Zheng, the general of Ziweitang, said: "Marshal, why don't my brothers shoot them a few times, think of it as a deterrent, and then shout and make them surrender."
Qin Liu said: "Now there are only these few cannons, and there are not many shells. Hangzhou has not been conquered, so how can they be used to attack Qingyuan Mansion now."
The generals also felt reasonable, and A Li looked at Liu Ji and said, "Mr. Liu, what do you think?"
Liu Ji smiled and said: "I don't dare to think about it. The marshal may listen to it, but it may not be effective. Order the entire army to take turns to attack Mingzhou City in three shifts. Put down your vigilance and attack the south gate again, or you may be able to break the city. This year, Fang Guozhen’s main force moved north to Hangzhou, and the defenders of Mingzhou City are only a few thousand at most, and the people in the city are not all with one heart.”
A Li smiled and said, "Sir knows my heart very well, and I want to do this too..."
Liu Ji smiled and said: "Since I have already served under the marshal's account, I have to do my best. The people from Dongshui in Tiantong Temple in Taibai Mountain in the east of Mingzhou have a relationship with me. The people from Dongshui have two apprentices and are serving as school in Mingzhou City. Captain."
A Li laughed and said, "I admire your friends all over the world, sir!"
Liu Ji said: "If you can convince the opponent to submit, it is best to cooperate with the inside and the outside. If not, the marshal should not miss the big thing because of the gene."
A Li nodded, looked at the generals, and said, "Do you have any other opinions?"
All the generals said that the marshal had seen thousands of miles, and they all listened to her. A centrifugal thought: I really went through the martial arts world, and I played in the martial arts circle. Brothers don't have much thoughts on the matter of marching and fighting.
When will she be able to train such famous generals as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and Lan Yu?
A Li said: "Okay, that's the decision. Today is the first military meeting of senior generals since our army's Northern Expedition. The uprising will never be more comfortable than the brothers used to be in the rivers and lakes. It is related to the life and death of thousands of subordinate soldiers, and it is related to us. Whether or not Jianye can succeed in expelling the Tartars and unifying the country, discipline is the most important thing. Our senior generals observe discipline first, and the discipline of military conferences is to fully express opinions and opinions at the meeting, and it is my business to adopt or not. It is for victory, even if your opinion is despicable and obscene. Resolutely implement the military order, this is what you say at the meeting and don’t discuss it after the meeting. Do you have any objections?”
"no!"
A Li nodded and said, "From tomorrow onwards, Wu Zheng will lead the brothers from Ziwei Hall and Ling Snake Hall as the first class, Li Shizu will lead the Tianshi Hall and Baihu Hall as the second team, and Qin Tan will lead Qinglong, Suzaku, Xuanwu has three classes. You take turns disturbing and exhausting the enemy."
"The last commander!" The generals got up and took the command.
A Li nodded and looked at Zhang Wuji and Liu Ji: "Cousin, tomorrow morning, you and Master Hengzhou will accompany Mr. Liu to Tiantong Temple."
A Li feels that Hengzhou has not yet returned to the secular world, so it is always convenient to go to the monastery.
