Volume 2 The Death of the Yellow Turban Chapter 65 State affairs are important
"Our army must change its retreat plan!" Nan Ying's first sentence when he met him was to say with a slash on his face, "30,000 enemy troops have come back behind us from Yingshui, and they are now in ambush on the road to Yingyang!" The idea of retreating to Yingyang is no longer feasible! ”
Zhu Jun was stunned and speechless.
Huangfu Song was unhappy, he didn't like Nanying's categorical tone. He is the chief general of the whole army, how can he allow a guest army general to change the established plan at will? What's more, it's still a rising star who is not familiar with it.
He said lightly: "General Nan has worked hard all the way, and I will thank you here!" But it is imperative to retreat to Yingyang, please don't worry about General Nan! ”
He tried to maintain his demeanor, after all, the group in front of him had come from thousands of miles to support, and it would be rude to speak too much.
Nanying almost couldn't believe his ears, and he was stunned: "Is Ben going to speak clearly enough?" 30,000 enemy troops have already defended the danger, and the purpose is to flank our army in front and behind with the pursuing enemy, how can General Huangfu insist on going his own way? ”
Huangfu Song became more and more displeased when he heard this, and he frowned and said, "Of course the general heard what General Nan meant!" It was precisely because 30,000 enemy troops stopped in front of us that our army had to meet the enemy head-on. Because if we retreat at this time, our army will most likely be completely surrounded by nearly 70,000 enemy troops behind us! 30,000 and 70,000, you don't need to analyze the difficulty again, right? ”
He said categorically: "After you and I join forces, there are at least 20,000 elite soldiers, and it is not difficult to break through the only 30,000 thief army. As long as we can fight out, the sea is wide from the fish to the leap, the sky is high and the birds can fly, and our army has achieved enough strategic depth before we can calmly reorganize the army and fight again! ”
Nan Ying was anxious, he was worried that the enemy army might be surrounded at any time, so his tone naturally rose: "General Huangfu's words are wrong!" The enemy army has taken great pains to lure your army out of Yangzhai, and they must have made the most thoughtful plan, how could they allow us to break through the blockade easily? If the general insists on retreating to Yingyang, he is playing into the enemy's trap! ”
Huangfu Song's face sank when he heard this, and he said it as if he had been being led by the nose by the enemy, wasn't this a slap in the face to him?
Before he could speak, Huangfu Jianshou had already said angrily: "General Nan, you are too rude, how can you slander my family master like this?" ”
Nan Ying felt that it was inappropriate as soon as he spoke, and was about to apologize, but he took the words back after listening to Huangfu Jianshou's words, and said coldly: "Who are you?" ”
Huangfu Jianshou said proudly: "The last general is the marching Sima Huangfu Jianshou, and General Lao Nan has asked!" ”
"Huangfu Jianshou? It turned out to be the son of Jiangmen! Nan Ying suddenly realized, he sneered: "I will talk to your family master, so I won't have to interject you with a marching Sima!" Are you supposed to be in your own home? ”
"You ......" Huangfu Jianshou was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Huangfu Song has the most important face in his life, and he is even more angry in his heart at this time, isn't this scolding himself for having no way to teach his son? He said expressionlessly: "The child has a number of rudeness, and he will be strictly restrained!" Please also ask General Nan to respect himself, it is better to discuss military aircraft for now! ”
Zhu Jun heard that the tone was wrong, and hurriedly came forward and said: "Two generals, please calm down, everything should be focused on state affairs, if you have a business trip, you and I will not be able to explain to the court!" ”
Huangfu Song was silent for a while before he said: "Ben will insist on the previous discussion, we must break the blockade and reach Yingyang, otherwise our army will run out of food and water, and it will definitely be defeated!" ”
Nanying snorted and said heavily: "The general will also say again, the enemy army is setting up an ambush in front, how can it be forcibly assaulted?" Is the lives of soldiers so worthless? ”
"Coward!" A voice said softly.
Nan Ying looked at it angrily, but it was Huangfu Jianshou who couldn't help but sneer, he saw Nan Ying glaring, and looked at each other without giving in: "General Nan is not cowardly, right?" The last general really doesn't understand, are you fighting in Hebei as well? ”
As soon as these words came out, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun shouted in their hearts at the same time that it was not good, not to mention that Nanying had outstanding military exploits, and he had fought from the fake Sima to the Yingyang Zhonglang General along the way, that is, just by relying on the feelings of others who rushed thousands of miles to help, no matter how speculative they were, they couldn't speak so rudely.
The sound of "brush, brush, brush" sounded, and the cavalry soldiers of the five colonels of the Northern Army were all furious, and they all took their long knives out of their sheaths, just waiting for Nanying to give an order, and they were about to do it. Dian Wei, Gao Feng and the others even walked forward straight while touching their weapons
"What are you doing? Licentious! Nanying swept his eyes, and all the cavalry lowered their heads, "How can anyone use a knife against his own people?" If the Yellow Turban Army sees it, it won't be laughed to death! ”
"Excellent! It seems that Ben will really be self-conscious! Nanying turned around and rode on horseback, "Since he is so despised, the general will retire first!" Take care, everyone! ”
Zhu Jun was shocked and said, "General Nan, what are you doing here?" How can you be so rash? Please dismount! ”
"General Xie Zhu retained, but it's a pity that the general's skin is not so thick!" Nan Ying sneered, "But don't worry, Ben will still try to delay the pursuit of the enemy forces behind him, and he will do his best in the end!" ”
"Zhao Ming is out of the ranks!" Nanying suddenly shouted.
"Yes! The end will be! Zhao Ming took a step forward, "Please give the general instructions!" ”
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun looked at each other at the same time, neither of them understanding why Zhao Ming was so respectful to Nanying. Although they saw Qiang Tong also standing behind Nan Ying, they did not know the true origin of the Eastern Route Army.
"Zhao Ming, you and Qiang Tong did a good job this time! Ben would be very pleased! A gentle smile finally appeared on Nanying's face, "Since you are all right, then the greatest purpose of Ben's trip has been achieved!" Now Ben will order, you and Qiang Tong will return to the team immediately! ”
Qiang Tong and Zhao Ming shouted with all their strength at the same time: "Obey the general's orders!" ”]
With Zhao Ming's order, about 700 lightly armored infantry trotted out of Huangfu Song's camp all the way, and quickly formed a formation on Nan Ying's side. At the beginning, Zhao Ming led a thousand soldiers under the command of the captain of Luoyang City Gate to fight, and until today, there are only 700 people left, they are the men and horses personally deployed by He Jin, of course, they will only obey Zhao Ming's orders.
Huangfu Song finally lost his color, he never thought that the Eastern Route Army would completely obey Nanying's orders, didn't this weaken his strength again?
He shouted: "General Nan, please stay, this general is still the chief general of the Southern Route Army, how can you transfer the soldiers and horses under this general without authorization?" ”
"The commander of the Southern Route Army? Your subordinates? Nan Ying sneered, "General Huangfu, please make it clear, first of all, you and I are both lieutenant generals, and we are equal in military ranks, and you, the chief general of the Southern Route Army, can't command me, the deputy general of the Northern Route Army!" Second, Qiang Tong and Zhao Ming are both direct subordinate generals of this general, and this general certainly has the right to mobilize their soldiers and horses! ”
Huangfu Song's face was blue and red for a while, although the situation came too suddenly, if he couldn't see the relationship between Nanying and Zhao Ming and Qiang Tong at this time, he would really be blind. However, after several days of fighting together, he knew too well the abilities of these two generals, not to mention that the rest of the two men had about 1,500 men, and they were all good soldiers. If the Southern Eagle is allowed to take it away, the next breakout battle will be even more hopeless.
He secretly weighed the gains and losses, and still shouted without giving up: "Now that the war is urgent, I will temporarily requisition all the soldiers and horses in the theater under my jurisdiction in accordance with the laws of wartime, and ask General Nan to focus on the overall situation!" ”
"Alright! Then Ben will explain it a little more! Nanying looked up to the sky and laughed, "This time the general brought troops to Yingchuan without the permission of the court, which means that I am still under the command of the Northern Route Army, except for General Lu Zhi's order, I can leave if I want, stay if I want, can you manage it?" ”
"Well said!" Gao Shun happened to come on horseback, and when he heard this, he sneered: "It's a big deal to be punished by the court for the crime of unauthorized use of soldiers and horses, but it's a pity that it is not the turn of the Southern Route Army to convict us!" ”
Zhu Jun was in a hurry, he hurriedly jumped off his horse, grabbed Nanying's horse and said: "Nanying Yang, it was General Ben who personally sent a letter to General Lu, asking him to send troops to help." Now that you're gone, how are you going to deal with yourself? And please see that you stay in front of this general, you are deeply favored by the emperor, and you should be loyal to the king with us! ”
Nan Ying didn't dare to be presumptuous to Zhu Jun, he smiled bitterly: "General Zhu, it's not that you are arrogant in your later years, you are really hot and cold on your ass, and your heart is uneven!" And things have gotten to this point, do you think I'll be able to stay? ”
Zhu Jun couldn't help but stagnate, and stopped talking, not knowing what to say. He glared at Huangfu Jianshou with hatred that iron could not be made of steel, it was all a good thing that this kid made trouble! openly contradicted the official, and insulted the friendly army, this kid really did a great job! If you are afraid of it, you will not stay.
He stayed on the spot for a long time speechless, and suddenly said miserably: "At this critical moment of life and death!" Why are you so indiscriminate! It seems that our army is really finished! ”
Hearing his sad words, Huangfu Song and Nan Ying felt remorse at the same time, but both of them were difficult to ride a tiger, and they both held their own opinions, how could they easily bow their heads!
Suddenly, a voice in the distance shouted: "Brother Nan, Brother Gao! Be sure to stay! You can't leave! ”
Nanying and Gao Shun looked at each other, and at the same time shouted in disbelief: "Brother Yanyan, how could it be you!" ”
The man walked slowly, his pale face was full of tiredness, it was Gao Shun's friend, Hanoi Sima Zhi.
He came to the South Eagle Horse, held the reins of the horse hard, and said, "It's down!" Does Brother Nan still remember the gathering in Luoyang that day? I once said that I should devote myself to the account of my teacher and contribute to the country! Brother Nan also had the words that he was going to fight side by side! ”
Nan Ying said dumbfounded: "Could it be, is it! Who is your mentor? ”
Sima Zhi nodded lightly and looked at Zhu Jun: "This is the mentor below, who will not give up on him, and entrust him with the post of marching master!" ”
Nan Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was not Huangfu Song, a stinky old man, otherwise he really didn't know how to face Sima Zhi.
I only heard Sima Zhi solemnly said: "As the teacher said, now that it is a time of life and death, Brother Nan and my Southern Route Army are strong if they are together, and weak when they are divided, and Brother Nan is not here to help my Southern Route Army?" Can you bear to watch tens of thousands of soldiers spill their blood on the battlefield? ”
He suddenly bowed deeply to Nanying: "Brother Nan, you used to drive out the epidemic and live millions of people, and you are a first-class benevolent person today, and you have always admired it deeply!" How can you ignore the general interests of the country today because of the anger of the moment and the selfishness of one person? Please think twice, Brother Nan! ”
Nan Ying was speechless, turned his head to look at Gao Shun, and saw that he was also showing a helpless wry smile to himself, and couldn't help but sigh.
He jumped off the horse, helped Sima Zhi up, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Yan blames me!" It's the little brother who is narrow-minded! Don't worry, I'll stay! ”
Sima Zhi raised his head suddenly, his eyes showed a look of surprise and excitement, and blurted out: "Brother Nan, you! You! ”
Nan Ying turned his head to the speechless Huangfu Song on the side and said, "General Huangfu, this can be regarded as rude, please forgive me!" It's just that you and I still need to think about this march in the long run, I don't know if it's okay? ”
He said heavily: "No matter what, everything is about state affairs!" ”
Huangfu Song's body trembled, and he nodded slowly: "Okay!" As you said, you and I will discuss it carefully! ”
He paused, and said word by word: "State affairs are important!" ”
Zhu Jun let out a long breath and said softly with relief: "Not bad! State affairs are important! ”
