Chapter 637: Make the most of it
The gate of Nanping County was wide open, Wu Baipeng drove out and greeted him in person, and the heart that he had been carrying in Nanping for nearly half a month finally landed.
Thousands of officers and soldiers were encamped in an orderly manner, and it happened that the camp left by Zhang Lian outside the city was still there, which saved a lot of work.
Dozens of horsemen rushed to meet Wu Baipeng not far from the city gate, and Yu Dayou, who was the leader, turned over and dismounted to salute, but Wu Baipeng picked it up for the first time and laughed loudly: "As early as many years ago, Zhancai praised Yu Long Qihu in the southeast in Shiyuan, and Zhongyuan Jing and Zhifu brothers in Shangyu Dajie made great contributions in the south and north.
For example, Jin Yuanjing entered Fujian to suppress the Japanese, and had many military exploits, and Brother Zhifu was transferred to the general army of Southern Jiangxi, as fast as thunder, and solved the difficulties of Fujian in a war, and the eyesight of Zhancai is really admirable, Yu Long and Qihu are all famous generals for a while! ”
Yu Dayou shook his head with a smile and said, "Lord Zhongcheng has an overreputation. ”
"Why should Brother Zhifu give in to this?"
"It's not humble, Gutian County's First War Yu is just checking and filling in the gaps." Yu Dayou moved a step to the side, and let Qi Jimei, who was born, "First show the enemy to lure the enemy with weakness, and then go out of the city to defeat the enemy, defend like a rock, attack like a fire, Xiao Wan is far from being the enemy, Yu is just icing on the cake." ”
Wu Baipeng's eyes lit up, and now he saw a military general who could fight, his eyes were red, and he asked a few words carefully, and praised: "Yuan Jing Weiran is a famous general, but my brother also has this ability, I remember that last year's Zhancai aided Shanyin Huiji, and it was Jimei who led the army to rush to arrive." ”
"A double master." Yu Dayou patted Qi Jimei on the shoulder, "This battle is the first achievement of Jimei, and I hope that Lord Zhongcheng will say a few kind words." ”
Wu Baipeng nodded again and again, they are all his own family, easy to say.
Qi Jimei can't be compared with Qi Jiguang in this regard, and she is not very good at talking about the scene...... Even a little blushing.
However, such praise is also worthy of the name, yesterday in the battle of Gutian County, Qi Jimei led 2,000 officers and soldiers to defeat Xiao Wan's 5,000 thief soldiers, beheaded more than 10 people, beheaded more than 1,000 people, and captured more than 1,000 people.
This battle is not just about defeating Xiao Wan, who wants to seize control of the Minjiang River? It is more important to directly thwart Zhang Lian's attempt to completely disrupt the war situation in two ways.
After the war, Qi Jimei and Yu Dayou did not clean up the battlefield? Before dusk, we set off from Gutian River into the Minjiang River, and then went upriver to Nanping County.
It's a pity that in the early morning of Jintian, Zhang Lian and Xiao Wan led tens of thousands of thieves to flee west in a hurry? Qi Jimei and Yu Dayou led the army to pursue? Behead hundreds more.
A group of people talking and laughing into the city? Wang Yi asked carefully about yesterday's battle situation in private, and couldn't help but cast an admiring glance at Yu Dayou, who had gray sideburns.
The thief army hit his head and bled in front of the official army? Feng Ziming's subordinates, who attacked from the flanks, were about to kill in front of Xiao Wan, but Yu Dayou didn't attack rashly? Rather, it is safe to organize a defensive line in the east and north.
In the case that the defeat of the thief army has appeared, Yu Dayou deliberately did not go to grab the merit, and only held the retreat of the thief army, so that the thief soldiers only had one way left in Gutian Creek...... Thousands of thieves drowned in the river.
What's more, if it weren't for Yu Dayou to threaten Xiao Wan's back, the latter would never have hit his head in front of Qi Jimei's subordinates.
In the absence of Yu Dayou participating in the war, Qi Jimei would not attack rashly...... Is it not difficult for him to defeat the enemy with 2,000 men? The difficult thing is how to win, and people are not stupid? Can't you run if you can't beat it?
If you can't completely defeat Xiao Wan's department? Qi Jimei could not turn west to relieve the siege of Nanping.
The appearance of Yu Dayou? More important than you think? But he blames others, which is really admirable.
Wang Yi couldn't help but think of Qian Yuan's evaluation of Yu Long and Qihu last year, "Yu Qi is all in Fujian and Zhejiang, and he is a big country? However, on Guoyi, Yuan Jing is not as good as Xujiang, on elegance, Xujiang is far away. ”
In the courtyard of the government, many generals were chatting, Zhang San patted his chest and praised his merits, Liang Sheng complained stupidly, Wang Yi was asking Zhou Ze about the stock of gunpowder, Zhang Lian did not meet the battle but fled westward, and there were still fights in the back, Zhou Ji and several other Qian family guards discussed whether they stayed or returned to Zhejiang.
Several generals and colonels in Fujian on the side couldn't help but smack their lips, and counted roughly, except for Wang Yi and Liang Sheng, there were six generals who were all from the Qian family's guards.
Liang Sheng pursed his lips, "What is the total, and what is lower than the total?" ”
"Why didn't the young master let you out, you didn't count it yourself?" Zhang San sneered: "It's Peng Feng who releases it, at least start the total!" ”
"I don't want to leave the young master's side, otherwise I will be like Yang Wen, a guerrilla general...... Maybe one day he will be transferred. ”
"It's a pity that Yang Wen didn't follow into Fujian this time."
The conversation outside was cheerful, and everyone in the lobby also chatted well, and after a few words, Wu Baipeng's worries disappeared.
"Zhang Lian fled westward, obviously knowing that the reinforcements from other provinces will inevitably return to Shaowu Mansion, and then move ......" Wu Baipeng pondered for a moment and smiled: "Following the United States, this battle almost completely annihilated Xiao Wan's department, I am afraid that Zhang Lian's wing will be afraid." ”
Although Qi Jimei has some military talent, he has too little experience in this area to understand.
But Yu Dayou has been up and down for many years, nodded and said: "Lord Zhongcheng is afraid that the thief army will enter Jiangxi. ”
"Yes, once the thief army enters Jiangxi, Brother Zhifu, as the chief officer of Southern Jiangxi, can pursue across the border, but ......" Wu Baipeng shook his head, "The three armies will attack together, but I am afraid that Zhang Lian will immediately enter Jiangxi." ”
Wu Baipeng was the governor of Fujian, and Qi Jimei was a guerrilla general of the Fujian Command Division, and neither of them had the right to cross the border to pursue and suppress.
"Two soldiers?" Yu Dayou asked tentatively: "Lord Zhongcheng and Yu took Shaowu Mansion, followed the United States to lead the army north to recover Jianning Mansion, and then chose the opportunity to advance westward to the Fujian-Jiangxi border, and the two armies surrounded each other, trying not to let most of the thief army enter Jiangxi. ”
Wu Baipeng hesitated for a long time, this method sounds good, once the troops are divided, there are only more than 2,000 people under Qi Jimei's command, and only Songxi County and a few towns in Jianning Mansion have fallen into the hands of thieves, which is suitable for Qi Jimei's troops, and he and Yu Dayou will join an army of about 6,000 troops, and even if they do not win in the pursuit of Zhang Lian, they will not be defeated.
But the difficulty of implementing this plan is very high, the combat power of the thieves is not strong, but there are many people, and Shao Wufu is close to Jiangxi Province, if Zhang Lian wants to escape into Jiangxi, it is difficult for Qi Jimei to plug the gap.
But after thinking about it for a long time, Wu Baipeng found that this was the only advisable way, if the thief army did not go west into Jiangxi, but went south to Tingzhou Mansion, it would be easy to do.
"Shaowu and Tingzhou have fallen into the hands of thieves, and it seems that the biggest problem in Rujin is the supply of food, especially Shaowu Mansion, which has always been the granary of northern Fujian." Wu Baipeng somewhat understood Hu Zongxian back then.
Yu Dayou brushed his beard and said: "Before entering Fujian, Zhancai sent a letter...... By the way, the Qian family's guards had two leaders who went south with Jimei. ”
For Yu Dayou, the most troublesome thing is not the war itself, but the difficulty of raising food and salary when he arrives at the guest land, and he has not forgotten the letter from Qian Yuan before Fujian to ensure that the army has no worries.
After a while, Wang Yi entered and saluted: "The young master has already arranged to transport grain into Fujian with Wang Zhi's fleet, and the Wufeng Banner will not dare to attack, as long as General Qi guards Changle and Lianjiang, the grain ship can reach Min County." ”
Qian Yuan did not write to ask Emperor Jiajing if he could send money and grain to Fujian...... This is a taboo thing, you can earn money for the court and the emperor, but you must not feel that you have the power to arrange where the money is spent.
In this case, Qian Yuan can only use Wang Zhi.
Wu Baipeng smacked his lips, "It's really ...... best use"
Qian Yuan has no interest in Zhang Lian, the Flying Dragon Emperor, but Qi Jimei and Qi Jiguang who entered Fujian are his descendants, Yu Dayou has been in contact with him for many years, Wu Baipeng is even more close friends, and there are still Wang Yi, Zhang San, Zhou Ji, Liang Sheng and other guard leaders, so they naturally have to do everything they can and do their best.
