Chapter 368 Each has his own ideas

A hill fire blocked Liu Guoneng's mind to pursue. At this moment, Liu Guoneng really admires Lu Weiliang, and being able to make such a determination in a short period of time is not something that anyone can do, at least he Liu Guoneng can't do it.

Li Yuanqing leaned in front of the gate of the village a little unwillingly, he was different from Liu Guoneng, Liu Guoneng was the descendant of the superintendent, and he was in a high position, so he didn't need military merit to climb up. But he, Li Yuanqing, really needs to make new contributions, seeing that Geng Zhongming is valued for his meritorious service, how can he have no ideas? Even Shang Kexi, now he has been promoted to a guerrilla general because of his meritorious work, and only he, Li Yuanqing, is still a small Qianzong. This time, I was well prepared, but I didn't expect to meet a ruthless character like Lu Weiliang.

"It's a pity, if Lu Weiliang retreats more slowly, we can place an ambush on the west side in advance, so that the thief soldiers will not retreat so smoothly!" Li Yuanqing pounded the big tree next to him hard, and he was in a bad mood. Liu Guoneng patted Li Yuanqing on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Li doesn't have to be so discouraged, there is a chance." Lu Weiliang withdrew from Dusong Pass, so Li Zicheng's side has also withdrawn. There's going to be a big battle over there in Wanqiu Town next, as long as we're fast enough, we'll still be able to eat meat. ”

"I hope so!" Li Yuanqing shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile, he wouldn't have much hope for Wanqiu Town. The battle of Wanqiu Town didn't last long, and now that the Liukou is bent on retreating, how can they be too entangled in Wanqiu Town?

Yuhang, everything was as Liu Guoneng expected, as Lu Weiliang led his troops to evacuate Dusong Pass, Li Zicheng also decisively gave up Yuhang County. This withdrawal of troops meant that the threat of the peasant army to Hangzhou had been completely lifted, and the people of Hangzhou were naturally overjoyed and rushed to celebrate. However, the officials in Zhejiang were not happy, from Du Fushan, the political envoy, to Bai Xuan, the commander of the capital, but they were a little unhappy. Now the Zhejiang officials feel very embarrassed, the Liukou has been repulsed, and the crisis in Hangzhou City has been lifted, but the retreat of the Liukou has nothing to do with the Zhejiang soldiers and horses. In the latest military operation, he was beaten by the rogues and fled, and the safety of Hangzhou depended on the Xuanfu border army of iron and ink. The rogues have withdrawn, and it is said that they should write to ask for credit, but how should this official document be written?

There isn't much credit, and there are a lot of sins, but can this be written? Especially the commander Bai Xuan, because of the matter of beating the rogue before, he had some small contradictions with Du Fushan, and he was afraid of settling accounts afterwards. On this day, the sun was warm and the climate was pleasant. Just before the Shangyuan Festival, Zhejiang officials came to the prefect's yamen and launched an urgent consultation. Hangzhou Governor Xie Zhi sat at the end, the most embarrassed, originally this was his own territory, but he had no right to speak.

Zhejiang's treasure in the world, the land of fish and rice, when he came to Hangzhou to take office before, Xie Zhike was very happy. He really wanted to do a big career in Hangzhou, but after arriving in Hangzhou, he found that everything was different from what he thought. In other places, under normal circumstances, the Department of Prosecutors and Envoys and the Department of Political Missions will not interfere in the affairs of the prefect's yamen. But in this part of Zhejiang, the political envoy controls everything, big and small, and asks about them one by one, and he Xie someone is like a puppet. Sometimes, Xie Zhi thinks that even being the prefect of Jiaxing Mansion is better than being the prefect of Hangzhou Prefecture, being in the yamen of the prefect of Hangzhou, he is either a political envoy or an envoy above his head, and he is careful every day.

Du Fushan cleared his throat and looked at everyone's expressions carefully, although he didn't say a word, the majesty of that kind of high-ranking person still gave people a strong pressure. He is very satisfied with this effect, and many times, he does not want the officials under him to have too many ideas, and too many ideas may not be a good thing. Zhejiang and Suyang are too important to the entire officialdom, and the stability of these places is the most important. Du Fushan has been doing this for three years, and he likes the feeling of having everything in his hands.

"Ahem, everyone must have heard a little rumor, this time I brought everyone here, just to ask how to explain to the next level. The rogues have retired, so how much have we done? Du Fushan's gaze swept over, and finally fell on Xie Zhi.

Xie Zhi didn't want to speak, but when he saw Du Fushan looking at it, he chuckled in his heart, "This..... Lord Du, the lower officials are stupid, and everything depends on the adults. ”

"Oh? Stupid? Lord Xie is not stupid at all, this official heard that someone sent a letter to the Iron Inspector a few years ago, detailing the suffering of the military and civilians in Hangzhou. Lord Xie, you have worked a lot for my safety in Hangzhou! ”

Hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Xie Zhi, and some people had already sighed silently in their hearts, and when they looked at Xie Zhi, there was a trace of sympathy in their eyes. Xie Zhi put his hands on his knees, a little at a loss, looking very uneasy, it is said that this thing has been done very secretly, I don't know how Du Fushan found out. It is very unlikely that the Iron Inspector will take the initiative to reveal the news, and after thinking about it, it should be that there is a problem on his side.

Since some things can't be hidden, it is better to admit it generously, think for a moment, adjust your breathing, Xie Zhi arched his hand and said: "Lord Du, there is indeed such a thing." Before, Liukou occupied Yuhang, and occupied Dusong Pass and Deqing County, and my Hangzhou was in danger, and the lower officials were also forced to have no choice, so they thought of begging the superintendent to send troops as soon as possible. Xiaguan also wants to relieve the crisis in Hangzhou as soon as possible, isn't this exactly what we should do? ”

With that, Xie Zhi got up and looked at several officials next to him. At that time, the situation in Hangzhou was critical, who didn't find some way back for themselves? If Hangzhou is attacked by the rogues, Zhejiang officials will inevitably be held accountable, and he, the prefect of Hangzhou, will bear the brunt. If you don't want to retreat, no one will protect you, and your life will be over. Who hasn't thought about it? Even if Du Fushan, the political envoy, didn't he find a way to contact his old friends in the same department in the two capitals? It's just that most of the people who are looking for are important ministers in the court, and he Xie Zhi is looking for Tiemo.

In fact, Xie Zhi also understood in his heart that there was nothing wrong with finding a way out, but what was wrong was that he couldn't go to Tiemo. But Xie Zhi has no other good way, he is different from Du Fushan and these people, he has very few retreats, in comparison, only Tiemo's retreat is safer. The choice is different, the treatment is different. Xie Zhi felt very aggrieved, just because he contacted Tiemo, as if he had done something angry.

This is Hangzhou City preserved, what if Hangzhou City is not preserved?

Du Fushan obviously didn't expect Xie Zhi to answer like this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, stroked his beard and said lightly: "Why did Lord Xie say that? This official has just said, you have contributed a lot to my Hangzhou Mansion, you have worked hard! ”

Xie Zhi knows Du Fushan too well, this person has always hidden a knife in his smile, and when he says this, he is afraid that he will be very unhappy in his heart. However, I have no regrets about taking the medicine at the moment, and I am afraid that my life in Zhejiang will be difficult in the future. Xie Zhi sat down again, but he obviously felt a sense of alienation, and in just a moment, there was already an extra gap between himself and everyone. Hey, maybe that's the real purpose of Du Fushan. Isn't it connected with Tiemo? Since you want to betray the officialdom of Nanzhili, then be prepared to be isolated. By this time, Xie Zhi was already a little disheartened, and even had some tiredness.

Officialdom is completely different from what I thought at first, this official is too tired. If you can't do anything, it's better to simply go back to your hometown and be a rich man than to be deflated in Hangzhou.

The next thing is much simpler, Du Fushan asked everyone to discuss how to report the recent incidents, everyone, you say a word, and you actually wiped out the ugliness of the previous defeat of Dusongguan. The previous defeat was not only a defeat, but also a loss of money, if it weren't for the timely arrival of Xuanfu's soldiers and horses, the rogue would have chased the defeated army into Hangzhou City.

How the officials in Hangzhou City discussed, Tiemo had no time to care, and at this time he didn't have time to rest, so he commanded his soldiers and horses to continue westward, chasing Li Zicheng's footsteps. To the west of Yuhang, there were many rivers, which led to a greatly reduced role of cavalry. In normal times, Li Zicheng dared to withdraw his troops like this, and the Yunfu Iron Cavalry was caught up and beaten violently. It's a pity that in the mountains and rivers south of the Yangtze River, the cavalry is controlled everywhere. Fortunately, Tiemo didn't want to swallow Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses in one go, his real goal was to gallop to Wanqiu Town.

The road ahead was vast, the breeze was slightly cool, and Tiemo rode slowly, his brows furrowed deeply. This Jiangnan landform is really annoying, obviously riding a high-headed horse, but he can't run, "Dingshan, urge the follow-up soldiers and horses to speed up the pace, we must rush to Wanqiu Town as soon as possible, if Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses are also involved in the war in Wanqiu Town, I am afraid that the soldiers and horses of Wanqiu Town will be in danger." ”

"Don't worry, the last general will supervise it!" Zhou Dingshan didn't dare to slack off, if the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp in Wanqiu Town suffered too heavy losses, I am afraid that Grandpa Xu would be unhappy in his heart.

Rushing all the way, Xu Zhixin, who has always paid attention to her appearance, is also dusty, and she is a little more tired. Finally stopped to rest, she came to Tie Mo's side with a water bag, "Now that the Liukou departments are bent on withdrawing from Zhejiang, are you too worried?" ”

"Common sense is that it should be like this, but don't forget, we are not only facing Gao Yingxiang, but also Li Zicheng. Others, maybe not, but Li Zicheng is definitely not a person, if there is a chance to cut Wanqiu Town, Li Zicheng will never let go of this opportunity! "For Li Zicheng, no matter how cautious he is, it is not too cautious. The more I deal with Li Zicheng, the more I know how terrible this person is.

Li Zicheng is more powerful than Gao Yingxiang in that he is more decisive and courageous. Many times, Tiemo feels that Li Zicheng has many similarities with himself, as long as he feels that the opportunity is right, there is nothing he dare not do. It's not that I don't want to kill Li Zicheng, but most of the time, just think about it, how can Li Zicheng be so easy to destroy? From northern Shaanxi to Zhejiang, all the way, Li Zicheng's power is getting stronger and stronger.

Xu Zhixin didn't know why Tiemo looked at Li Zichenggao, at least she didn't think Li Zicheng was anything terrible, because in Xu Zhixin's opinion, since Wukang started the war, to the withdrawal from Yuhang, Li Zicheng has lost one after another. In this case, no matter how you look at it, I don't think Li Zicheng has anything extraordinary.

Wanqiu Town has become a tragic battlefield at this time. In order to cut off the hidden dangers behind him, Gao Yingxiang mobilized heavy troops to attack Wanqiu Town, and similarly, in order to complete the task assigned by Xu Hongji, the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp naturally defended Wanqiu Town. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on both sides fought around a small Wanqiu town.

The command made Jin Shifeng and Qiao Beiming very difficult to defend, but they didn't dare to retreat. This time, Grandpa Xu gave a strict order, didn't insist on three days, let go of the rogue, and lost his head when he went back.

After a day of fierce fighting, I didn't have time to eat. Finally waiting for the thieves to retreat, Jin Shifeng pulled the rice, and complained in his mouth, "This battle is too difficult to fight, it's only been one day, and the brothers have suffered a lot of casualties, how can they hold out for three days?" I don't know what my grandfather is thinking, let's stick to Wanqiu Town, obviously we can't get any benefits. ”

Qiao Beiming raised his eyebrows and glanced at Jin Shifeng, "Don't mumble nonsense, we asked for this task at the beginning, and we have to withstand anything." Since the old man arranged it like this, there must be his deep meaning. Let's hold on a little longer, it is estimated that in two days, the soldiers and horses of the Iron Overseer will be able to come over to help us. ”

"That's what I said, but I didn't expect the battle to be so difficult to fight at the beginning!" Jin Shifeng really regretted his decision at the beginning, you must know that the battle in Wanqiu Town is so difficult to fight, and he will not rob this errand if he says anything.

There was no word all night, and the next day before midday, the rumbling drums sounded again, and the fierce battle began again. On this day, the two sides continued to engage in a tug-of-war around Wanqiu Town, and a large army dozens of miles away from Wanqiu Town slowly walked slowly.

Although Li Zicheng was forced to leave Yuhang and suffered several losses in a row, his soldiers and horses were not chaotic and still very orderly. Detective horses are released, keeping a close eye on the surrounding situation. Not only did he keep an eye on the living Hades in the rear, but he also sent people to keep an eye on the movements in Wanqiu Town. Now that the soldiers and horses of the Living Yama King are still far away, at least half a day's journey, Li Zicheng's mind is alive.

At this time, if a large army appeared in the east of Wanqiu Town and slashed hard, presumably the officers and soldiers of Wanqiu Town would definitely suffer heavy losses. After saying what they thought in their hearts, Lu Weiliang and the others were shocked by this bold idea.

Li Yan can be regarded as a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, but he still feels that Li Zicheng's idea is too risky, "General, the soldiers and horses of the Living Hades may catch up at any time, if they are entangled, we will be in big trouble." ”

Lu Weiliang also had the same idea, "Yes, according to the ideas of our subordinates, let's not have more complications, and it is safest to retreat to Yu Qian as soon as possible." ”

Everyone scrambled to dissuade them, but Li Zicheng still insisted: "No, Li thinks this is a good opportunity, in fact, you don't have to worry too much, let's go to Wanqiu Town and take the opportunity to fight, it's really not good, just withdraw quickly." But think about it, if we succeed, these tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Beijing battalion will be the meat in our mouths, and at that time, we will definitely be famous all over the world. ”

"This ......"

Lu Weiliang smiled bitterly and shook his head, he could see that Li Zicheng was determined to hit Wanqiu Town by the way.
