Chapter 146: Chen Jianhu's retreat
The reason why Chen Xian found this way for Zhang Shao to survive in death was really for Yu Kang, or for Yu Qian behind Yu Kang.
Although Yu Kang's personality is coarse and fine, he is also a good hand in war, and this time he has won the military merit of pacifying the southeast, and he will inevitably be appreciated by His Majesty after returning to Beijing, and his promotion to the knighthood is just around the corner.
However, just as he was sent to the southeast under the game of the civil and military factions, he was the same as his adoptive father, but he was only an intermediary in the court, and he held a position of experience in the former military governor's palace, so he could neither hold military power like the commander of the guard, nor could he blend into the circle of civil ministers.
On the contrary, because of the relationship between his adoptive father Yu Qian, even if he intersected with many generals, the other party always kept a hand behind his back.
This time it has been regarded as pacifying Ye Zong's remaining troops, Deng Maoqi's troops are not as good as Ye, and it is only a matter of time before he is wiped out, Yu Kang returned to Beijing with the credit of pacifying the chaos in the southeast and breaking the White Lotus Sect, and naturally no one will gossip when he receives the promotion.
But when the limelight passes for a while, this guy will naturally become the target of attack by Wang Zhen, anyone who has a holiday with Yu Qian on both sides because of the special status of "middleman" and "Yu Qian's adopted son".
Yu Kang doesn't have Yu Qian's two-sleeved breeze and upright temperament - this guy even wants to take himself to try his Longyang fetish.
As for other messy things, according to Yu Kang's character, I am afraid that he has not done less, and he will naturally become a lever for others to attack.
Zhang Shao, although his rank is not high among the generals, but after all, he is a veteran who came out of the three years of Jingnan, and the generals who were born and died with him back then are already in important positions at this moment.
Zhang Shao is now grateful for the life-saving grace of everyone here, whether it is true or not, it is worth Chen Xian's try.
Although Li Kun of Jinyiwei has a big waist and a round waist, he is a really clever person, so he can naturally guess that Chen Xian's remarks have a deeper intention, but whether Zhang Shao is a member of the White Lotus Sect, or even whether Zhang Shao is a rebel or not, does not matter much to him.
On the contrary, Li Kun was very interested in Chen Xian's guy - this scholar was completely different from the scholars he was common to in the capital, this person had never mentioned any feelings for his family and country, what was the way of a saint, and he always did things off the rails, and even he dared to call him at will, even his own feared Jinyi guard.
And...... This person's methods are really vicious.
As the first person to participate in the interrogation of Chen Jianhu, Li Kun had no idea why Chen Xian came to humiliate him at that time, and he even thought that Chen Xian was a psychologically twisted and dark pervert.
Looking back now, Chen Jianhu chose to ambush the officers and soldiers because he was humiliated, and then killed Ye Zongliu because of the obsession in his heart, which directly led to the disintegration of the subsequent Ye rebels.
And Chen Xian's preferential treatment of Canghuotou is even more miraculous, using Canghuotou's revenge mentality, and then using the meritorious Zhang Shao as a staff officer, he actually provoked civil strife between this army that has been defeated in successive battles.
Li Kun once thought about how to exterminate this rebel army, all kinds of tactics, espionage, and even sending people to blend into the enemy, but Chen Xian only captured Chen Jianhu by chance and firmly grasped the lifeblood of Ye Zongliu's rebel army, as if from the moment Chen Jianhu was captured, the entire war had been pushed by Chen Xian on another path.
A ...... Attack the heart for the upper road.
The banquet dispersed, looking at Chen Xingzhi who was getting away from the window and the girl with strong martial arts beside him, Li Kun shuddered for no reason.
……
Chen Jianhu fled all the way south, and he had gathered about 800 men along the way, and most of the 800 remnants of the defeated soldiers were hung with lottery.
Wailing, pain, despair, like a mist hanging over their heads, followed the army to the death.
"Strategist—"
A scrawny scout came running in the distance, and as soon as he saw Chen Jianhu, he hurriedly arched his hand, and said respectfully: "I have already contacted the King of Shoveling, and he asked us to capture Shunchang and then join them." ”
Shunchang is a county seat under the jurisdiction of Yanping Prefecture, located forty miles north of Yanping.
Now the so-called "bulldozing king" Deng Maoqi is leading more than 7,000 people to besiege Yanping, but Yanping's defender Zhang Hai is a fierce man, commanding 2,000 officers and soldiers and 3,000 villagers, and stubbornly repelled Deng Maoqi's nine attacks in the past three days.
Yanping was besieged, and the defenders who could be used by Shunchang had already rushed to Yanping City to help defend it, and at this moment there were only a few hundred defenders in this small city, so it was reasonable to let yourself take these people to attack the city.
However......
Chen Jianhu looked back at the group of defeated soldiers behind him, and suddenly had some doubts in his heart - can he really capture Shunchang with these people?
Moreover, Chen Rong led more than 10,000 officers and soldiers to die dozens of miles behind him, if he couldn't attack it for a while, he was afraid that he would be made dumplings by the officers and soldiers!
Thinking of this, Chen Jianhu took out the pen and paper from the package behind him, opened the box of bronze carved inkstone, dipped it in ink and began to write.
He wants to inform Deng Maoqi of the situation of the officers and soldiers, so that this arrogant guy understands that he does not have to defect to you, but that the 20,000 officers and soldiers in Jiangxi and the 15,000 officers and soldiers in Zhejiang have now arrived in Fujian.
Of course, the wording will not be so direct, Chen Jianhu first touted Deng Maoqi's overall view, as well as his image of loving soldiers like a son, and then tactfully mentioned that although there are still seven or eight hundred people under his command, they are chased by officers and soldiers, and they are afraid that they will already suffer from the enemy before they can capture Shunchang.
After you are attacked on your own belly, it will naturally not be easy for you to flatten the king's army, after all...... General Chen Rong, and the chief soldier Yu Kangke don't care whether you are Chen Jianhu's men or Deng Maoqi's men......
Chen Jianhu has no other way at the moment, so he chose to write this letter - Deng Maoqi, now our fate has been tied together, although I am defeated, but it is you who will be cleaned up by the officers and soldiers next......
I will now lead the officers and soldiers to come to you, if you accept me, okay, let's fight against the tyranny of the government together; If you turn me away, you won't be able to survive until the officers and soldiers have wiped out my small team.
Chen Jianhu hurriedly finished writing the letter, then carefully folded the paper, and instructed: "Brother Lao ran for everyone again, and he must personally send it to the king of bulldozing, just say that the military affairs are urgent!" ”
was called a brother by the military advisor, which really made the scout excited, and thought of his trip to find Deng Maoqi, it was not just for himself, but for the sake of these many brothers, so he naturally took the order with great pride and ran forward......
