Volume 1 The Wolf Smoke of the World Chapter 75 Gold Medal
The White Rhino Pass was won, and the price was incomparably huge. The artillery battalion of the god machine alone killed 130 people, these people are all firearms trained by the Dayu Heavenly Dynasty, and it is really not easy to spend a lot of money every day.
Coach Zhao Jinying, his left arm was cut off, his dantian was destroyed, even if he was healed and healed, he could only be a wasted person, and he could no longer practice in this life.
Only 20,000 of the 100,000 elites of the Zhao family army were beaten, the vanguard Bai Fujian was defeated and captured, and the whereabouts of Zhao Mengqi, the commander of the Shenji artillery battalion, were unknown.
The military newspaper was sent to the Ministry of War, the Privy Council Monk Shutai and the General's Mansion at the same time, and the news was received at the same time.
Prime Minister Zhao Wuyi recruited Li Shipeng and Zhao Sixi, Li Shipeng looked at the map, it was a consistent behavior, especially the map of the Prime Minister's Mansion study is the most elaborate version, with the current situation of the Zhao family carefully spied on the local situation, far more careful than the military department.
Zhao Sixi is still doing his old job, beating the legs of Lord Xiangguo.
Zhao Wuyi sat on the ivory bed, his hair was completely white overnight, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to be much deeper than yesterday.
The Zhao family army is finished, and the Northern Barbarians have fought a defeat, and their influence in the imperial court is bound to be greatly reduced in the future.
Zhao Jinying, the hero of Dayu who was held by himself, is also finished, that is his only son-in-law, and he is expected to be the successor of the general in the future.
Although the saint was sympathetic, he remembered his merits in the bloody battle of the White Rhino Pass, and was crowned as a squire from the First Rank Military Department and a deputy envoy of the Privy Council. In the future, there is no need to lead troops to go out to fight, and he sits in the court in peace, strategizing, as if he is a figure like Zhuge Liang. But everyone knows that from then on, the field military exploits will be completely lost to the Zhao family.
The biggest headache is not this, but the current stable situation is probably about to change.
Li Shipeng was still looking at the map, Zhao Sixi didn't say a word, and the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing.
It was still Zhao Sixi who could solve the master's embarrassment, and laughed dryly: "Xiangguo doesn't have to worry, I heard that the divine doctor Sha Qibai is about to enter Beijing, even Xue Shikun also called this person a senior brother, who can heal the dead and live bones, what disease can't be cured." Childe's stubborn illness may not be curable. ”
Zhao Wuji still had no expression, looked up at the ceiling and stared at it for a long time: "The saint has already issued a gold medal and transferred Li Chongxin back to Beijing, and it has been nine days since Hou Wanjing's battle to besiege the capital." ”
Zhao Sixi didn't understand how talking about Gongzi's illness was related to Li Chongxin again.
Li Shipeng paused for a moment, then turned around and said: "Whether Li Chongxin arrives or not, it is a dead end, Lord Xiangguo should still retreat as advance, and the current court situation is strong and weak." ”
Zhao Wuji shook his head: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, the Lu of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, you can't avoid it if you want to." The saint has issued an order to promote Mao Bao to the deputy chief soldier of Baixi Pass, the Shenji battalion was transferred to the Zuowu Guard Army of the General's Mansion, the scout battalion was assigned to Jin Wuwei, which was managed by Pei Shao, and the cavalry battalion was transferred to Yan Xutuo, the general manager of the Huainan Road March, and took it to fight the Qingyang bandits.
Alas, the emperor grew up. ”
Zhao Sixi didn't understand what the two were talking about, so he lowered his head and carefully beat the legs of Lord Xiangguo, and he had to pretend to be a fool in front of a smart person, which was his consistent way of being an official.
Li Shipeng blinked, and suddenly asked, "Who is the current chief soldier of Baixi Pass?" ”
Zhao Wuyi said expressionlessly: "Wei Ran, the deputy governor of the Li family's army, has just received the title of second-rank town governor of Fudu, and now he has the same rank as Li Chongxin. ”
Li Shipeng thought for a while, and said: "The prestige of the monarch is unpredictable, I hope that the Prime Minister will make a decision sooner, and if it is late, there will be trouble." ”
Zhao Wuji sighed: "I don't kill Boren, Boren died for me, Dayu's country is going to be messy, it's really going to be messy." ”
Zhao Sixi was on the side, and he couldn't interject all the time, and finally heard a name he was familiar with at this moment, and hurriedly said: "Wei Ran's house is really shit luck, it was still my distant in-law back then, and his niece insisted on marrying my brother-in-law, I didn't expect that the current official position is so big." ”
Zhao Wuji opened his eyelids weakly: "Little Four, let you send a letter to your in-laws, do you dare to go?" Zhao Sixi nodded: "Don't worry, don't worry about sending him a letter, just let me slap him with two big ears, and Xiao Si will do it." In his heart, there is still the idea of climbing the high branch of the prime minister. ”
Zhao Wuji pointed to the table: "The letter is there, read it yourself, if you dare to send it after reading it, I will guarantee you to be a member of the Ministry of Works, in charge of the civil construction of the Beijing Division, it will be a fat difference." ”
Zhao Si was happy to hear this, his eyelashes were blooming, and he hurriedly went to take the letter carefully, opened it and looked at the contents, and suddenly turned pale with fright: "This, this is going to...".
Then I remembered the beauty of the Ministry of Labor, gritted my teeth, and I sent this letter.
————————————
Li Chongxin is still chasing Liu Wuzhong's Youzhou cavalry, if he can capture Liu Wuzhong alive, it is best to remove a big disaster for the imperial court.
However, the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, and chased to the area of Jiashi Pass, where heavy rain fell from the sky, blocking the way for the cavalry.
Liu Wuzhong camped by the mountains and rivers, Li Chongxin led eight hundred death squads, attacked the camp at night, the Youzhou cavalry fled to death, Liu Wuzhong killed five guards in a row and could not stop the chaos, and finally defeated Xiaoyunling, besieged by Li Chongxin, seeing that the grain and grass were cut off, Liu Wuzhong sent a messenger to ask for surrender.
Qiu Ba blushed in the big tent and asked, "Metropolitan Governor, now that Liu Wuzhong is finished, we can also go back to Shangdang County." ”
Li Chongxin smiled: "No, if I take Liu Wuzhong, I have already taken it some time ago, why is it delayed here?" Siege reinforcements also. Qiu Ba looked in the direction of Li Chongxin's finger, it was Sanmuyuan.
slapped his thigh: "That's right, Sanmu was originally the place where the Northern Barbarians were stationed in cavalry, knowing that Liu Wuzhong was surrounded, there was no reason not to save him, and he could take it in one fell swoop at this moment." ”
Li Chongxin twisted his beard and looked out the window: "Yes, I have urgently dispatched Bai Xi Guan Wei Ran to lead the troops to help in the battle, and I have been there for three days, why haven't I replied." ”
He Li Jiajun is mostly carrier pigeons, and the round-trip letters do not exceed one day, but it is strange that they have not arrived for three days.
Qiu Ba hurriedly said: "The governor is worry-free, the people in the area of Baixi Pass, when they heard that we had won the battle, formed a condolence group one after another, and dozens of teams came to deliver food and drink every day. ”
Li Chongxin was overjoyed: "Which villages are here?" ”
Qiu Ba's face was excited: "Zhuangjin Village, Wujiazhai and Chenjiatun, there are constant carts, donkeys and horses every day. Huo Da, the righteous bandit of Taihang Mountain, is in charge, and he will lead troops to attack the passage between Liu Wuzhong and Sanmuyuan. ”
Li Chongxin slapped the table: "The people's will is available, the people's heart is available." ”
Suddenly, a shrill voice outside shouted: "The royal gold medal has arrived, Li Chongxin has spoken." ”
Li Chongxin hurriedly knelt down, saying long live, and when he raised his eyes, it was Eunuch Bai Gui who walked in. He said loudly: "Qing is the governor of Zhenbei, I don't know how to explain the word Zhenbei." It is your sin to sit back and watch the thief Northern Barbarian Chieftain wait for Wanjing to plunder the Beijing Division. Thinking of the old ministers of the previous dynasty, I can't bear to punish him, but don't I read the teachings of the first emperor? Today, Li Chongxin will return to the division of the pickaxe Beijing within ten days to relieve the siege of the capital. When you see the gold medal, you can see the face, and you should return quickly. Chin this! ”
Eunuch Bai Gui smiled and screamed: "Governor Li, let's meet again, hurry back to Beijing, the saint misses it tightly, if the gold medal is not issued, I am afraid that Governor Li will not turn back." The old slave has served His Majesty for most of his life, and this gold medal will be transferred twice, and the forward translation is to adjust Yan Xutuo to sweep away the Qingyang Sect, this time it is you. ”
Qiu Ba said bluntly on the side: "Please take a rest for your father-in-law, and most of my family governors pack up." ”
Li Chongxin saw that the gold medal was engraved with eight characters, "The text in front of the emperor is not allowed to enter the shop".
After a moment's hesitation, he said: "Father-in-law Bai will go back to Baixi Pass for a while, and Li will make military arrangements." ”
Before Li Chongxin's words landed, another eunuch outside shouted: "The Holy Lord has issued an edict ordering Li Chongxin to lead the army to return to Beijing immediately, without delay!" When you see the gold medal, you see me, and follow it immediately! ”
Before Li Chongxin came back to his senses, the emperor's third gold medal arrived, followed by the emperor's fourth, fifth, and sixth gold medals.
By the seventh gold medal holy decree, it has been completed: "If you don't return to Beijing quickly, you will be punished as a rebel!" ”
The eighth gold medal is "Hurry up and get up, if you delay any longer, you will be disobeying the holy decree, and you will not be forgiven." ”
Li Chongxin looked at the green veins of Yanshan, and suddenly seemed to be much older, and turned around and asked the eunuch Bai Gui: "Father-in-law Bai, dare to ask where the Zhao family's grain team is now?" ”
Bai Gui replied sharply: "Governor, you are letting the war be confused, where are there any Zhao family troops, Your Majesty has ordered them to be transferred to the Privy Council, and each has a new military number." Zhao Jiajun: That's the old yellow calendar.
As for the grain team you mentioned, it seems that it is temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Shuo Fang Jiedu envoy, and then went to the Huai River to exterminate the Qingyang Sect. ”
Li Chongxin was dizzy for a while, staggered and stood unsteadily, and said in his mouth: "I am eager to fly to Lintong Pass, cross the Yellow River, and enter the capital to face the saint, the army here will not be withdrawn, and the other party must not be allowed to see the horse's feet, and when the governor of Wei Ran comes to hand over, you can order the retreat." ”
Qiu Ba hurriedly knelt down and said, with tears in his eyes: "Dadu Governor, no, seeing that it is expected to recover the rivers and mountains, occupy Sanmuyuan, connect Shangdang County, go west to Zezhou, and go north to Dadu, the unification of the north and the south is imminent, and the Zhongxing of the Dayu Heavenly Dynasty is promising." If the troops are withdrawn, won't the achievements of several years be ruined, and how can the governor of the capital see his hometown fathers and elders? ”
Li Chongxin's face was distorted and miserable, he pushed down Qiu Ba, drove a flying rainbow, and went straight to Haojing.
The people of the Northland were clamoring outside their tents, and they could not understand why the Governor had suddenly risen into the air and left.
A white-haired old man shouted to the sky: "Governor, when will you go back to the Northland?" We, folks, are waiting for you to regain lost territory, Governor. ”
The voice was loud, but there was no response for a long time.
Wei Ran did not appear again after all, and the three thousand iron cavalry of the Li family army were flawed due to the loss of their commander, and the morale of the army was fluctuating, and they were seen to be flawed after besieging Liu Wuzhong for seven days.
There was no owner in the army, and the Youzhou Iron Cavalry took advantage of the situation to break through and go, and joined the reinforcements of Sanmuyuan, and all the children of the 3,000 Li family soldiers were surrounded and annihilated.
When Qiu Ba was dying, he used blood on the stone wall on the side of the Jiashi Pass Road to write the eight characters of "The children of the Li family, loyal to the country".
In May of that year, Yelu Xianzhen Khan personally led 20,000 cavalry from Sanmuyuan to attack the White Rhino Pass.
Due to the lack of a grain team to supply grain and grass, Wei Ran, the chief soldier of the White Rhino Pass, and Mao Bao, the deputy chief soldier, were cowardly before the battle, and abandoned the pass on the grounds that the lone army had no food, and the Northern Dynasty recaptured the White Rhino Pass.
Then the Northern Dynasty signed an agreement with the Dayu Heavenly Dynasty, Yelu Xianzhen Khan led the troops to withdraw, and the property and children of Baixi Pass were looted, and the chickens and dogs were not left, and it has become a dead city.
The Yu Dynasty enshrined 10 million taels of silver, 2,000 cattle and horses, 100 antiques, and 50,000 pieces of silk as the side currency.
The strange thing is that Mao Bao, the deputy commander-in-chief, was beheaded and abandoned for the crime of defeating Wu and instigating the boss; However, Wei Ran, the chief soldier, was promoted to deputy director of the military department and was appointed to the jurisdiction of the Privy Council because of his good scheduling and good protection of the main force.
The number of the Li family's army was revoked, and the remaining last 10,000 troops were incorporated into the Huaihe Road march of Yanxutuo to assist in the extermination of the Qingyang Sect bandits.
The Li family, who has been famous for decades, has since disappeared in the long river of history.
