Chapter 204: Old Wu is back
The small village of Wuling Village fell into tranquility again, and the two sides withdrew, leaving the wasteland chaotic with hoof prints, and the two sides, who were originally tense and had their own ghosts, finally reached an agreement.
"Congratulations to the Lord, congratulations to the Lord, this time to take Taiyuan City without moving a single soldier can be said to be the biggest thing in the hearts of the people since my lord started his army!" Niu Jinxing immediately congratulated Li Zicheng with his eyebrows fluttering, this matter is completed, he should be the first to take credit, and that kind of joy is irrepressible.
Compared with Chang Yu and others, who hurriedly retreated north, Li Zicheng's men and horses seemed calm and relaxed, after all, he was the big winner.
"However, the significance of this time is not to take a city, first of all, Taiyuan is the largest city in Jinzhong, and secondly, the king of Jin and Zhou Yuji, Cai Maode's initiative to surrender, this is definitely a fatal blow to the Ming court, and the influence is simply more powerful than ten cities in a row!" Gu Junen added color to the side, and the rest of the people nodded one after another.
"Lao Tzu thinks that those are all drizzle, but the eldest brother has a fierce general is the most worthy of celebration, although the little eunuch's mouth is annoying, but he does have real skills, not to brag for him, there are very few in our army who can win him alone!" Liu Zongmin covered his nose as he spoke, and there was still blood oozing out.
Everyone nodded, but their faces seemed to be smiling, knowing that although this thing was telling the truth, it was not to find a staircase for themselves.
"That little eunuch is no ordinary person!" Everyone is drunk alone, and Li Yan, who is alone with me, said softly with a cautious expression.
Everyone's expressions immediately froze, Li Zicheng's eyes also narrowed into a line, and he nodded slightly in contemplation, "From the first glance, I felt that he was not ordinary, but I didn't have time to think deeply because I was tied up by other things at that time, and now the more I think about it, the more I feel...... Suspicious! ”
Suspicious! This word is not ordinary, and everyone is stunned.
"Eunuchs are royal slaves and maids, and they are also the lowliest people, they maintain a lowly posture at all times, and they are extremely inferior, but you have seen this from that Chang Yu, on the contrary, this person always has an indifferent face and is full of confidence" Li Zicheng said.
Moreover, he had carefully observed, although he claimed that Zhou Yuji was kind to him, treated him as a servant, and swore to follow him to the death, but on the contrary, Zhou Yuji and even Cai Maode always acted inadvertently at his eyes, and when the King of Jin was nervous, he always seemed to look at him, all of this...... It's weird! Li Yan said and shook his head slightly.
Phew, Li Zicheng reined in the horse, and everyone stopped suddenly.
"Could it be that this person is the master behind the scenes, and he wants to play a big game of chess with me?" Li Zicheng was puzzled, "He said that he was a eunuch and a prisoner, and the prison army was sent by the emperor himself, and the emperor would not instruct him to negotiate peace, is it another fraud?" ”
Li Zicheng's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of the pot, which made Niu Jinxing a little flustered: "Lord, the prison army was sent by Emperor Ming, but there were many people who surrendered to us in the past. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Li Yan.
"Lord" Li Yan was silent for a moment and spoke: "The minister only speculates that this eunuch is not simple, as for the matter of surrendering, it really can't be regarded as a theory, this matter does not seem to be a fraud, but everything needs to be careful."
Li Yan is the kind of person who is cautious by nature.
"The matter has come to this point, tomorrow we will see the difference, the minister's opinion, it is not like a deceit, because so what are the officers and soldiers trying to do?" Gu Junen said again.
"The minister can't think of it, if it's a game of chess, why?" Song Xiance squinted and agreed.
Li Zicheng smiled bitterly: "I can't think of it either!" It's not like putting on such a big game just to delay it for a few days! That's really...... Idle and futile work, the army has passed in dust............ But as General Li said, be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship, let's go back and make an agreement! “
Jiaocheng County Ya
Chang Yu sat in the center, staring at the simple sand table in front of him with a solemn expression, Zhou Yuji, Niu Yong, Zhu Kongxun, Wang Yongkui, and the three generals had already arrived, and Cai Maode and King Jin had already hurriedly returned to Taiyuan to prepare for the war.
"Withdraw all the troops on the eastern route!"
In the middle of the sound, Chang Yu got up, walked to the sand table and waved his hand.
"Give up the east road and let the thieves drive straight in?" Zhou Yuji frowned.
"The main force of the thief army is in front of us, that side is already a chicken rib, the previous deployment of troops is only to intercept the remnant, and there is no big city wall to defend there, if the thief army attacks, it can be obtained in one fell swoop, it is better to gather the forces here and strike with all their might!" Chang Yu paused again as he spoke: "What's more, withdrawing troops at this time will also have the effect of confusing the enemy, making the thief think that we are really going to surrender!" “
Zhou Yuji smiled slightly: "If you confuse the enemy for a while, everything will tear your face in the daytime."
"That's tomorrow too!" Chang Yu walked to the door, looked up at the sky, and muttered to himself: "I hope God will enjoy food"!
Zhou Yuji, Niu Yong and others looked at each other, not knowing the meaning of his words.
Tomorrow is going to tear his face, and there is only half a day in front of him to prepare, Chang Yu has no time to be pretentious, and immediately starts the first-level preparation state.
Wang Yongkui was in charge of the withdrawal of troops on the east road, Zhu Kongxun went to the north of the city to inspect the river fortifications, and Zhou Yuji and Niu Yong gathered troops outside the city and began to hold a mobilization meeting.
The small Jiaocheng, at this time with more than 50,000 troops, can be said to have pulled over two-thirds of the people in Taiyuan, the purpose is to establish the first line of defense here, and buy more time for Taiyuan to prepare for war in the rear.
At this time, the 50,000 troops gathered in the open space east of the city, the black pressure was almost impossible to see the edge, these soldiers were not in good spirits, but they were by no means sluggish, everyone had different expressions on their faces, some were excited, some were anxious, and more were shining in their eyes, staring at those cars.
Five carriages pulled more than 200,000 pieces of silver, walking back and forth around the soldiers in the array, and from time to time came the heart-piercing words: "Cash, kill one enemy ten taels!" If you have the ability, you will come and get it......"
Since the entry of Dongchang and Jinyiwei's people, the atmosphere of the army has swept away the previous malaise and loose discipline, and the reward and punishment mechanism has been achieved by Chang Yu to the extreme.
Especially in the past few days, there has been a rumor in the army, that is, the salary that is not collected at night has increased tenfold, and it is often more than a dozen taels of cash in hand!
This is completely different from the days when the white stripe was played before.
Naturally, morale is not the same.
The battle in front of him showed that there was a tough battle to be fought soon, and the supreme commander Zhou Yuji rode a horse and spat in the array to mobilize.
However, these knives lick blood, and the soldiers who have passed today and have no tomorrow are not most concerned about protecting their homes and defending the country, they rarely have this kind of awareness, only those silver are the most real and moving.
Chang Yu naturally knew this, so he asked someone to pull the silver cart around the array!
He is delivering a most direct message, fight, win and take the silver, retreat to death!
And, of course, surrender is still death!
Chen Shangzhi and Xiong Tong's work in the army in the past few days in various professional black thieves is not in vain!
Surrendering the thief army is death, and cowardice without fighting is death
There is only one way to live: rush forward and earn money!
On the city, Chang Yu was tightly wrapped, holding the clairvoyant mirror in one hand and looking around, looking at the array of tens of thousands of horses for a while, looking for the figures of Zhou Yuji and Niu Yong, and then putting his eyes into the distance, looking at the horses that appeared in the wilderness from time to time running around, and a sneer appeared in his eyes.
"Report to the factory, at the beginning of the afternoon, the thieves suddenly increased their horses, and found no less than ten in just one hour from the east road" Li Xingzu panted and ran up to the city to report, he had taken over the command of the city boundary at this time.
Chang Yu frowned, there must be a demon when something goes wrong, and the thief army is suddenly like this, is it cautious or suspicious.
He withdrew to the East Road, first, the East Road was like chicken ribs, and secondly, it was also used to show the thief army, which was used to paralyze it.
But all of a sudden, sending out scouts so intensively was not so simple.
If it is for the sake of caution and grasping the movements of the officers and soldiers, if it is suspicious, Ming'er's plan to suddenly stab him will be in vain.
God, the first battle of my life, appreciate your face, enjoy your meal, Chang Yu looked up at the increasingly gloomy sky, and thought silently in his heart.
"Keep an eye on the thief and the horse, but you need to refrain from fighting, you must not fight with it before tomorrow, but you will never allow the other party to cross the line of Jiaocheng!" Chang Yu turned his head and glanced at Li Xingzu.
Li Xingzu took the order and left.
"It's a pity that our arm has not healed, and we can't go into battle to kill the enemy!" Chunxiang clenched his fist with one hand, looking at the hatred and hatred on his face due south, once upon a time, the little eunuch in the palace followed Chang Yu subtly and imperceptibly had the heart to kill!
"Cheer for me, brother, kill a few more for you!" Chang Yu smiled slightly and patted Chunxiang on the shoulder.
"Sooner or later, you and my brothers will charge into battle together to kill the enemy and serve the country!"
Chunxiang nodded emphatically.
At this time, a captain of the brocade guard hurriedly came: "Lord Gongchang, Commander Wu is back, and he has just arrived in Taiyuan!" “
Wu Mengming is back! Chang Yu was stunned, then he was overjoyed, glanced left and right, lowered his head and leaned over and asked in a low voice, "It's done!" “
Well, the captain nodded, and then whispered to Chang Yu again.
Chang Yu's face immediately became solemn: "Prepare the horse!" Chunxiang, let's go back to Taiyuan! “
"Back to Taiyuan? Big brother, here, Ming'er will ........." Chun Xiang next to him paused for a moment.
"It's too late," Chang Yu said, and he had already hurried down the city.
Wu Mengming is injured! Although Wu Mengming's matter is done, if he can't wipe it clean, he is very likely to fall into the pit, and even take him with him!
"heart!" Chang Yu turned over and got on the horse, scolded in a hateful whisper, turned his head and glanced at Zhou Yuji, who was holding a mobilization meeting in the distance, and then galloped north, and followed behind him with the three hundred palace names like soldiers, which were sandwiched between Xiong Tong and Chen Shangzhi, and the scene in Jiaocheng was finished, and they were going to another crew, Taiyuan.
