Chapter 889. Swings and roundabouts.
……
……
After years of drought in Shaanxi and Gansu, the amount of Weishui water is very small, and the river channel has become much narrower.
Therefore, it didn't take too much time for Niu Fude to cross the river to see Qi Bin, and he had already returned to the barracks that night and reported Qi Bin's final attitude to Zhao Junchen.
In fact, there was no need for Niu Fude's detailed explanation, just seeing Niu Fude's serious expression, Zhao Junchen knew that Qi Bin's hostility towards him probably still had no change.
But with the luck mentality of just in case, Zhao Junchen still asked: "What is the result?" Qi Bin, does he have a change of mind? ”
After Niu Fude sighed, he replied: "After the students arrived at the garrison of Qi Bin's new army, they finally met General Qi Bin, but General Qi Bin has always been reluctant to talk deeply with the students, only emphasizing that he will obey the command of Lord Qincha during the decisive battle, and everything will be done officially. ”
"Oh? Is it business? Zhao Junchen looked disappointed and muttered softly.
Qi Bin's "official business" probably has two meanings, which means that Qi Bin will abandon his previous suspicions and obey Zhao Junchen's command and transfer during the decisive battle, and will never deliberately disobey and disobey military orders; It also means that Qi Bin will impartially state to Liang Fuchen about Zhao Junchen's interference in military power after the war, and will never deliberately cover up for Zhao Junchen.
Therefore, Qi Bin's attitude is obvious.
Then, Zhao Junchen's expression regained his calmness and said, "Since this is the case, do what you have to do, I believe you will handle it." ”
After speaking, Zhao Junchen raised his hand and waved lightly, signaling that Niu Fude could leave.
Niu Fude's eyes flashed, and he bowed and said, "Student understands." ”
After Niu Fude left the tent, Zhao Junchen shook his head and sighed lightly, with a slight regret in his expression, but he quickly reined in his thoughts and once again sat at the desk to deal with official business in the army.
If nothing else, the Mongol coalition will arrive on the southern shore of Weishui the next day.
For Zhao Junchen, the most important thing now is still to lead the army to annihilate the Mongol coalition army, and there must be no surprises in this matter.
As for Qi Bin's matter, he just needs to "go with the flow".
*
When I was nervously preparing for the battle, I didn't say anything all night.
The next day, according to intelligence estimates, the Mongol coalition forces were about to arrive on the south bank of Weishui, and the decisive battle was imminent.
On this day, all the officers and men of the Ming army were on high alert, waiting for a big attack by the Mongol coalition army.
However, the officers and men of the whole army waited from early morning to evening until the time they returned to the camp, but there was still no trace of the Mongol coalition army.
During this period, Zhao Junchen thought that all this was a trick of the Mongolian coalition army, and did not dare to slack off, so he sent more than ten teams of elite scouts to investigate the traces of the Mongolian coalition army.
After late afternoon, the horses finally found the traces of the Mongol coalition army, indicating that the Mongol coalition army had not changed the direction of the march, and was still advancing in the direction of Weishui, but the speed of the Mongol coalition army was far less than expected, and it had only reached nearly 200 miles south of Weishui.
Such a result surprised Zhao Junchen.
You must know that the Mongol coalition army is composed of cavalry, all of whom are skilled in horsemanship and equipped with double horses, and their immediate priority is to return to the steppe as soon as possible to preserve their vitality, and it stands to reason that they should march at full speed.
However, the speed of such a march was only half of what Zhao Junchen expected, and if the Mongol coalition army had been marching at this speed, I am afraid that it would have to wait another two days to reach the south bank of Weishui.
After receiving the news, Zhao Junchen couldn't understand the intentions of the Mongolian coalition army for a while, and was worried that this was a conspiracy of the Mongolian coalition army, so he ignored the darkness of the night and hurriedly convened all the civil and military officials in the army to discuss countermeasures.
After receiving the summons, the civil and military officials did not dare to slack off, and soon gathered in Zhao Junchen's tent.
After all the civil and military officials arrived, Zhao Junchen did not say any nonsense, and directly explained to everyone the current position of the Mongol coalition army and the anomaly of the Mongolian coalition army's marching speed.
After finishing speaking, Zhao Junchen asked with a serious expression: "The marching speed of the Mongolian coalition army can be described as unexpectedly slow, which is quite strange...... It stands to reason that the war has developed to this point, and the more it drags on, the more it will be unfavorable to them, in order to return to the grassland as soon as possible, they should march at full speed, but in fact, their marching speed is far less than expected! …… After receiving the news, Ben Qincha thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't guess the intention of the Mongol coalition army, what do you think? ”
After hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, all the officials in the tent frowned and thought hard, but they were also confused.
After a long time, Fang Zhenshan hesitated and said: "I think that the Mongolian coalition army has guessed that our army has already laid down heavy troops on the south bank of Weishui and is waiting for a decisive battle with them, so they are worried that they will be exhausted when they arrive on the south bank of Weishui after many days of rapid travel, and our army will have the advantage of waiting for work, so the Mongolian coalition army will deliberately slow down the march speed and save physical strength?" ”
As he spoke, Fang Zhenshan used a question sentence, which means that he is not sure that his opinion is correct.
As soon as Fang Zhenshan's words fell, he heard He Zhang retort: "Impossible! In the past few days, border troops from all over the country have rushed to support, and the strength of our army has become more and more, and the fortifications have become more and more perfect and solid, and the advantages have been increasing! The commander of the Mongol coalition, Bagan, was not a dumb and incompetent person, so how could he not see that the more this war dragged on, the more detrimental it would be to the Mongol coalition forces? What's more, even if the Mongol coalition army marches slowly, it will consume physical strength, and our army has always rested and prepared for battle, no matter how slow they march, they will not be able to reverse our army's advantage of waiting for work...... With Bagan's vision and experience, it is impossible not to understand this! ”
He Zhang's statement seemed to be secretly ridiculing Fang Zhenshan as a stupid and incompetent person, Fang Zhenshan's expression couldn't help but be much gloomy, and he asked in a cold voice: "But I don't know what the old general He has?" ”
He Zhang muttered: "There is little information at present, and I can't accurately infer it, but such a slow march of the Mongolian coalition army must have happened something that we don't know, maybe it was forced to happen...... Perhaps, it was because they were harassed by the border troops in various places while marching? ”
Fang Zhenshan immediately sneered: "I thought that the old general would have any high opinions, but I didn't expect that the old general would think that the harassment of the border troops in various places slowed down the march speed of the Mongolian coalition army!" The elites of the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu are now all gathered under the command of Lord Qincha, even if the border armies in various places have the courage to harass the Mongol coalition army, where can they have the ability to slow down the march of the Mongol coalition army? General He's inference is a bit taken for granted, right? ”
He Zhang also snorted lightly, and was about to open his mouth to refute it.
However, before He Zhang and Fang Zhenshan could continue to argue, Zhao Junchen had already raised his hand impatiently and interrupted: "Ben Qincha also understands that the two of you have some personal grievances, but now Ben Qincha has summoned you to discuss serious matters, if the two of you don't like each other, you can solve it in private, even if you have a fight, Ben Qincha will not bother to deal with it, but don't waste time here!" ”
Now, Zhao Junchen's prestige in the army is extremely high, and after He Zhang and Fang Zhenshan heard Zhao Junchen's face-to-face reprimand, they couldn't help but feel a little panicked in their hearts, and they didn't dare to have any explanation or argument, but they hurriedly bowed down to Zhao Junchen and confessed.
After He Zhang and Fang Zhenshan returned to their respective positions, Zhao Junchen turned his gaze to the others and asked again: "Except for General He and General Fang, do you have any different opinions?" ”
Under Zhao Junchen's questioning, all the officials looked at each other, but they could not put forward any effective opinions.
In fact, this cannot be said to be the incompetence of the officials, and it is indeed that there is too little information at present.
After seeing this scene, Zhao Junchen knew that he couldn't get any useful advice, and he couldn't help but be disappointed, so he planned to wave his hand to let the officials leave.
And at this time, a guard suddenly entered the tent and reported loudly: "Lord Qiqi Qincha, a fast horse messenger came from outside the camp, saying that he brought the news of the forbidden army and Zhang Chengxun!" ”
"The forbidden army knows Zhang Chengxun?"
After hearing the report, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
For this Zhang Chengxun, Zhao Junchen has some impressions, and he also knows that this person's strategic martial arts are extremely outstanding among the twenty-six guards of the forbidden army, and he has always been deeply used by Guan Wuyuan, and this person's command ability is also Guan Wuyuan's biggest reliance on holding Jiezhou City during this time!
Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen faintly felt that he had guessed the truth about the slow marching speed of the Mongol coalition army during this time!
So, Zhao Junchen said: "Bring Zhang Tongzhi's messenger here to speak." ”
Soon, a dusty cavalry of the forbidden army entered the tent.
Then, the cavalryman knelt in front of Zhao Junchen and said loudly: "Lord Qiqi, the villain is ordered by General Zhang to report the news to you!" In the early morning three days ago, the Mongolian coalition army suddenly withdrew from the city of Jiezhou, and Zhang Tongzhi, who had been in charge of defending the city, deduced that the sudden retreat of the Mongolian coalition army was because Lord Qincha had already arranged a heavy encirclement and intended to inflict heavy damage on the Mongolian coalition army in one fell swoop, so he immediately decided to lead thousands of cavalry in Jiezhou City out of the city to pursue the Mongolian coalition army, so as to slow down the march of the Mongolian coalition army and buy more time for you to prepare! In the past three days, under Zhang Tongzhi's personal leadership and harassment day and night, the marching speed of the Mongolian coalition army has been greatly reduced, and the military strength has become more and more tired! Zhang Tongzhi thought that it would take at least two days for the Mongol coalition army to reach the south bank of Weishui, so he sent a villain to report the news to Lord Qincha, hoping that Lord Qincha could prepare for such a situation as soon as possible! Zhang Tongzhi also said that in the future war, he will obey all the arrangements of Lord Qincha, and only Lord Qincha will be the first to look forward! ”
After hearing the report of the forbidden cavalry, Zhao Junchen suddenly smiled.
"It is said that 'the poor family produces filial piety, and the troubled times produce heroes', many outstanding people are often unable to get ahead when they are peaceful, but they have the opportunity to show their true talents in troubled times...... Ben Qincha was still wondering, now the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu are also in a mess, why I haven't met a few real talents, but now I finally see one...... Zhang Chengxun, Qi Bin...... Is this a lost harvest? ”
This Zhang Chengxun, just leading thousands of cavalry can harass the Mongolian coalition army day and night, but the Mongolian coalition army has always been helpless against him, although there are also Mongolian coalition forces who are unwilling to delay time because of him, but this kind of ability is already impressive!
In addition, when Zhang Chengxun sent someone to report, he did not mention the existence of Guan Wuyuan from beginning to end, but he counted all the credit for defending the city and pursuing it to himself, obviously an ambitious person!
The most important thing is that he said that everything is looking forward to Zhao Junchen, and he obviously has the intention of taking refuge in Zhao Junchen!

PS: There was a startling sound, and I heard a book connected to the above; The old gentleman passed away, and there is no next decomposition.
Mr. Shan Tianfang commented on the book with a characteristic, which seems to be that there is only "the book at the beginning", and there is rarely a "next decomposition" at the end.
When the insect was about ten years old, his family was very poor, there was no TV, and the only entertainment activity was to listen to Mr. Shan Tianfang's commentary "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" on the radio at lunch every day, which made the insect interested in martial arts, and began to frequently go to Xinhua Bookstore to read books, at first just to know the follow-up content of "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" first, but soon came into contact with more categories, from old-school martial arts to new-school martial arts, from traditional to Internet...... To this day, the insect has been writing books by himself for ten years, but occasionally he still listens to Mr. Shan Tianfang's commentary, which is still delicious.
In short, Mr. Shan Tianfang's commentary is the starting point for the insect to enter the world, and it can even be said to change the direction of the insect's life.
In addition, when the insect writes the book, the sentence breaks, the use of words, and the sentence structure, after writing, always obsessive-compulsive, he generally has to read it lightly several times, so as to make the sentences as smooth and easy to read as possible, I am afraid that it is also because he is deeply influenced by Mr. Shan Tianfang's commentary.
Today, I was shocked to hear that Mr. Shan Tianfang had passed away, and my feelings were very complicated and full of emotion.
Mr. Shan, go all the way.
