Chapter 540: Dick Si also has a temper!
"The word enlightens General Wu Biao's honors:
On the same day, the Beijing division was farewell, and the trance was like a white horse passing through the gap for several years, as if it was a lifetime, during which there were many legends in the market, and there were many words that criticized the general, but the merits were right and wrong, and the historian was paid. Today's events are only slavery. The power of Jiannu cannot be underestimated, but it is also arrogant and unscrupulous, so it will definitely be defeated. His army was first divided into four, the slave chief Huang Taiji led the army to trap Guangning all the way, Jierharang led all the way to besiege Jinzhou, the troops of the Dolgon brothers blocked me all the way to Tashan, and the other road separated the general in Songshan. The soldiers have clouds, and if they gather, they will have great momentum, and if they are divided, they will lose their strength. I fought with Dolgon in Tower Hill, for more than ten days, and his department could be used as a cannon stone without retreating, and with a white blade without fear, it must be the elite of the army. The same is true of the interrogation of captured prisoners. The general has been in Nanzhong for a long time, and he will know that all the thieves who rebel will rely on the elite, and the elite will not be in the public. The thieves of Tower Hill are fierce, and the rest will be second to here. Songshan is on the side of Jinzhou, and Jinzhou is the place of the key, if you can solve the siege of Jinzhou, it will be half a success. My general is not unable to fight, but there is a shortage of ordnance, money, food, men and horses, so he cannot break the enemy, and this is a trivial matter. My father has ordered Nanzhong to mobilize, and the ordnance, money, and food are all being transported by hundreds of huge ships, which is expected in the near future. There are 10,000 militiamen in Shandong, and although they are only farmers who are trained in agricultural slack, the general should know that their combat strength is not comparable to that of ordinary officers and soldiers. If the general is willing to work with me to break the thief and make meritorious contributions, then the matter of consultation between the two armies should be discussed with my uncle Pei Tinggong and Ning Yuan Wu. ”
In the lobby of the Songshan Garrison Mansion, Wu Sangui's Liaodong accent echoed in a low voice, and the letter written by Li Huamei to Wu Biao was sent word by word to the ears of Wu Biao, Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong Town, and Li Fuming, the chief soldier of Shanxi Town, who were sitting next to him.
But Li Peiting sat in the guest seat with a smile, leisurely sipping tea, just turning the sea and the river in his mind.
On that day, in order to curry favor with Li Huamei, Qin Shouren's family covered up the mistake of his own soldiers in molesting the little hemp stick, so he offered a strategy.
If it was built by Qin Shouren, who was familiar with the terrain of Tashan, the Guanning army would mainly pounce on Baitai Mountain and Tashan. Attracting Dolgon's attention, he used the Guards Brigade of the Nanyue Army and the Naval Division Land Battalion as surprise troops, rushed straight down from Hongluo Mountain, broke the Qing troops along the avenue, and went straight to the direction of Songshan. In this way, the elites of the two white flags and the rest of the flags were beaten half to death by a ruthless left hook punch of the Nanyue army. If you cooperate with Wu Biao, Wang Pu of Datong Town, and Li Fuming of Shanxi Town, who are currently garrisoning in Songshan Fort, to the south, Dolgon, these tens of thousands of people will have to jump into the sea if they don't die! If the two divisions solve Dolgon's problem or join forces and encircle Dolgon's headquarters in this corner of the sea, the situation on the entire Liaodong battlefield will be greatly improved.
The two armies either went west to Jinzhou to relieve the siege of Zu Dashou, or went north to Guangning and besieged Huang Taiji. And the stalemate between the two sides on the big chessboard in Liaodong. It will instantly become a situation in which the Ming army slaughtered the Qing army and the dragon.
When Wu Sangui explained this strategy to Wu Biao, Li Fuming, and Wang Pu, his face was also red with excitement for the upcoming great achievement. The three generals of Matsuyama are also dancing with flying eyebrows.
However, for Li Peiting, who was bent on letting the Ming and Qing dynasties drain their blood on the battlefield in Liaodong and exhaust the last of their vitality, this was not good news.
"We must not let this kid surnamed Wu send troops to the south! Dolgon's forces are all concentrated in front of Tower Hill, and the flanks and rear forces are empty, if he sends troops south, Dolgon's army will have to collapse! ”
Disguised by the act of drinking tea. Li Peiting peeked over, the two commanders of the Xuan army. Although Wang Pu and Li Fuming were excited and knew that a great achievement was in front of them, they broke out of Guangning and wanted to join Jinzhou but could not enter, so they had to switch to Songshan, both psychologically and in terms of strength. are a head lower than Wu Biao, although the two of them have higher official positions than Wu Biao, but they are looking forward to Wu Biao.
"It seems that we still have to make a fuss about this kid surnamed Wu!"
Li Peiting made up his mind.
"After the county lord led the horse to break the slave horse in front of him, he followed the main road to the east and rushed to Songshan. Rendezvous with the heroic divisions of the three generals. If the slave chief Dolgon is really worthy of his title of Prince Rui, he will definitely reinforce Baitai Mountain as soon as possible, but in fact this is impossible, because once the attacker fights Baitai Mountain with all his strength, whether it is defeated or not, a large number of troops will move towards Hongluo Mountain, do you save it or not? And once the battle is in the mountains, the thieves will inevitably expose their elite to the artillery fire of our army, and once the army enters the artillery fire, it will not be withdrawn if you want to. So Dorgon must be in a dilemma! If the elite of our army in the direction of Hongluo Mountain is blocked regardless of Baitai Mountain, then General Wu will take advantage of the situation to supervise the onslaught, and Tashan will not be saved. If you want to ensure the retreat in the direction of the daughter river, you don't dare to fight hard. The eldest lady's tactic is to put two knives on Dorgon's chest and right ribs, no matter which direction he moves, it will be a death! If General Wu gives him a sticky stick from behind, this fang will definitely die! In this way, the battle situation in Liaodong, where our Ming court has been planning painstakingly and lonely for a long time, has spent countless money and grain, and how many soldiers have been damaged. Everyone can fight a marquis and uncle, a wife and a son, and General Wu, you can also be distinguished in front of people and return to your hometown. ”
Li Peiting's words were extremely correct in the ears of Wu Sangui, Li Fuming, Wang Pu and others, but the tone of his words made Wu Biao very harsh. Li Peiting skillfully used tone, expression and other skills to create an impression of condescending and arrogant Wu Biao.
In Wu Biao's ears, Li Peiting's words were completely Li Huamei, the second generation of officials, who regarded himself as the commander and ordered him, a grassroots general.
Because he is a general who rose up with his cousin Wu Liuqi in the anti-grain trend in Guangdong, he is different from other generals in the Southern Guangdong Army, that is, Liao Dongzhi, who is also from Guangdong, although he is also a person who resisted the grain uprising, but after the incident, he defected to Chen Tianhua, and he can be regarded as a genuine Southern Guangdong Army. Only he and Wu Liuqi belong to the collateral and miscellaneous cards in the Nanyue Army. Although Li Shouhan still pays attention to a balance in his heart in accordance with the principle of employing people from all over the world, and as long as you have the ability and military merits, I will promote and use you, unlike the so-called "Huang, Zhejiang, Lu, and One" like the principal. But despite Shouhan's so, the old men under his command, the group of basic generals who came out of Hejing with him, didn't necessarily see it that way. In everyday speech and behavior. There are some different opinions.
Wu Biao is not as open-minded as his brother Wu Liuqi, on the contrary, he is quite narrow-minded in his heart. lest others look down on him, so he must fight bravely every time he fights. However, on the same day, he was lured by the joint inducement of the celebrant and the cabinet and the emperor to leave the Nanyue Army, and there was no reason for this psychological trouble.
I always feel that even if the Shouhan is good to him. It's just a local feudal town, how can there be the glory of the emperor's direct affairs? Although he has walked from south to north in the past few years, his heart has long been cold, although he has the halo of the Shenji Battalion and the Model Brigade on his head, but only he knows the suffering. But he couldn't pull back to the group of the Nanyue Army for a while. If there are heavier figures in the Nanyue Army who come out to recruit them, it may not be that he will not be able to return to the group. But today, Li Peiting's pretentiousness completely cut off his way back.
Listening to Li Peiting's words that were neither yin nor yang, Wu Biao was unhappy in his heart.
At this time, Li Peiting's fire was lit again.
"How. General Wu, our family is waiting for you to go home! ”
"Lose your mother! When you can use Lao Tzu, you have this face, if Lao Tzu listens to you, I'm afraid that you may not die badly! Wu Biao scolded in his heart, and he had already broken off his thoughts about returning to the Southern Guangdong Army. However, with Li Fuming and Wang Pu present, they can't be too attacked. After all, food, grass, ordnance, ammunition, salaries and silver still depend on the Nanyue Army.
"If you go south to attach yourself to the enemy, you will forgive your fate. At present, a large number of slaves in the Songjin area are infested with impermanence. If Wu's department wants to attack south. Worried that the back road will be plagiarized by this generation. Therefore, it is okay to cooperate with the direction of Tashan, but brother, eldest brother, our soldiers of Songshan can only sweep the slave rangers from Songshan to Jinzhou. Clean the road to Jinzhou for the uncle's army. ”
Wu Sangui saw that Wu Biao refused to go south to Tashan, but he was only willing to attack and cooperate in the Songshan area. I can't help but feel happy. If this person doesn't go to Tashan, all the credit for Tashan will go to Wu!
Needless to say, Wu Sangui was happy in his heart, and Li Peiting was also secretly proud. If this man refuses to go south to fight, then the battle of Tower Hill, Dolgon will not die so quickly! There are plenty of opportunities to get up and down. Let the Ming and Qing sides fight harder!
"The shopkeeper of Li, please transfer it to the eldest lady on behalf of Wu, and say that the kid surnamed Wu doesn't know how to lift and refuses to go south to fight. If the eldest lady initiates the female threat, Wu will have to wait for the uncle to come to Liaodong before coming to the door to ask for guilt. ”
Wu Biao did not completely block the road, the meaning of his words, if Li Shouhan still had the intention of recruiting in the future, it was not impossible for him to return to the Nanyue Army. After all, that is where he made his fortune, and where his hometown Sangzi is.
"The general is kind, a certain family must bring it. Leave. ”
"Sending off!"
Seeing Wu Sangui and Li Peiting leaving under the escort of hundreds of personal soldiers, Li Fuming and Wang Pu, the head of Songshan City, had a chance to speak.
"Brother Wu, why did you let go of the great opportunity for meritorious service?" Li Fuming, the chief soldier of Shanxi Town, although he should be the chief soldier of Shanxi, is a native of Liaodong, originally a subordinate of Zu Kuan, with a national face full of wind, frost, snow and rain, and his demeanor is quite heroic. Chongzhen was promoted to the chief military officer of Shanxi in 12 years. After following Hong Chengchou out of the customs, he has been in Liaodong for many years, and it can be said that he is suitable for people and places. The strategy that Li Peiting said was a great opportunity in his opinion, who was familiar with the terrain of eastern Liaodong.
In history, Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong Town, who fled with him in the Songjin War, wore a gold-lacquered mountain armor on the outside, a Nanzhong cuirass on the inside, a brocade robe on the outside, and a bright red cloak on his body, and a few beautiful feathers on the iron helmet were blown away with the cold wind. The body is tall, and there is a beautifully decorated sword hanging from his waist, but the fragrance on his body and face is emanating in all directions, which is very different from the smell of the people around him.
"That's it! Brother Wu, the eldest lady of the Li family and the army and horses of Gui Tongzong together are almost forty or fifty thousand, and the troops are dispatched from two places, and they will win the battle, if I wait for the back of the head of the slave chief Dolgon, I will not want his life? What a great merit to the Prince of the Slave Chieftain? ”
"Two brothers, what if you behead the slave chief Dorgon? The credit is also due to Miss Li and Uncle Wu! In my opinion, if you plan to make meritorious contributions, there are military merits between this pine brocade! ”
When Wu Biao said this, his face couldn't help but sneer, and his smile was full of pride and confidence.
After a little reorganization of the three divisions. On the second day, he began to dispatch and attacked the area of Xiwang Baoshan and Tanghezi in the direction of Jinzhou!
The fort garrison was built in this area, and it was the sons of Amin, one of the four great beylers, headed by his third son Gurmahun, who led Gong'a, Gogai, and Guolai with thousands of soldiers and horses to guerrilla in this area, and guarded the periphery of Jilharang in the direction of Jinzhou.
Wu Biao had already ordered to make a clear investigation. Although this Qing army had thousands of soldiers and horses, there were only a few hundred real Manchurian soldiers in it, and there were more than 1,000 Mongolian soldiers of the Eight Banners, and the rest were some domestic slaves and other figures. On the Songjin battlefield, the kind of troops that belong to the tofu scum happened to be used to brush up on the experience of Wang Pu and Li Fuming.
"Two commanders, please see, if we behead a few rebels of this slave chieftain Amin, although the credit is not as great as that of the slave chieftain Dorgon. But it's our own, not dependent on others. If we go to Tashan, we will behead Prince Rui, and how much of the credit will be shared among us? The big head is bound to fall into the hands of General Changbo! And the losses of our army are bound to be amazing! ”
Being able to exchange the greatest benefit for the minimum price is the most beautiful thing in the eyes of Wang Pu, who has a strong background in Jin business. I couldn't stop nodding my head in praise at the moment.
The smoke and dust billowed on the official road, and in the sound of horses' hooves like thunder, a large force of cavalry rumbled and galloped. These cavalry. All of them are bright red with long armor and wear cloud-winged helmets. He also wears arms and hands, and his equestrian skills are exquisite, showing his fierce spirit.
It was the cavalry of the three divisions marching together!
This time, after the three of them discussed, a total of 10,000 troops were dispatched, and one of each stayed in Songshan Fort. For the purpose of sticking to the back road.
Riding a horse and standing on the Tufu on the side of the official road, Wu Biao was very satisfied with his cavalry. In addition to small battles these days, these cavalry practiced tactics and horsemanship. In terms of horsemanship, although it is still inferior to the cavalry of Datong Town and Shanxi Town, Wu Biao is confident. Nearly a thousand cavalry of the Model Brigade were able to defeat more than twice as many Qing cavalry!
After nearly 3,000 cavalry, there was the infantry of the brigade, and the neat and heavy pace made Wang Pu, who was smiling frequently, have to be straightened. Although he and Wu Biao were stationed in the same city for some days, and he had heard of the elite of the model brigade for a long time, today was the first time he saw the demeanor of the model brigade marching long distance!
On the official road, which was as hard as iron, the infantry of the model brigade came slowly in a dense row, forming a large group in a column, a team of several armor, a sentry in several teams, and several sentry posts and a battalion.
From a distance, it can be seen that their firecrackers are all wearing red cotton armor, with spear caps on their guns, gun jackets, and ochre-red cowhide medicine boxes on their chests. And those pikemen are all covered with cotton armor, and the armor chief, the slave armor commander and some veterans are wearing Nanzhong cuirass. At a glance, it is clear who is a veteran and who is a newly replenished recruit.
Wang Pu played haha with Wu Biao in his mouth, praising the military appearance and military discipline of the model brigade, but he was not idle in his hands, and he glanced slightly, and the leader of the family had already taken out a monocular and handed it to the marshal, and looked carefully through the lens of the telescope, the sergeants of these model brigades were young and strong, although it can be seen from the face, figure, and physiognomy that after the previous wars, this army has been a mixture of the north and the south, but whether it is a dark-faced Liangguang old armor commander, or a lean Sichuan veteran, or a burly Liaodong recruit, They were all neatly dressed and firm, and they walked down for dozens of miles, but there was no noise in the camp, and the ranks were very neat. When it comes to military appearance, it is several steps stronger than Wang Pu's Datong Town Barracks.
"When Lao Tzu returns to Datong, he has to plan well and train a strong army!" What he saw and heard during this period of time made Wang Pu secretly make up his mind, as soon as the war in Liaodong was over and he returned to Datong, he would bury his head in military training. Born in troubled times, having a strong arm in hand is the root of speaking!
Zuo Liangyu between Jianghuai, Wu Biao, Li Huamei, and Wu Sangui in Liaodong at this time, and Li Shouhan, Ningyuanbo in Shandong, are not all because they have strong soldiers in their hands, so that the imperial court can take what they want? Wu Biao, a person with the rank of chief of the Shenji Battalion, why can he command the armies of Liaodong? Isn't it because of this model brigade?!
"Go back and let those money strings take out the money and food! No matter how much money it costs, soldiers also have to be trained! ”
Li Fuming immediately looked around, at this time, the official road had been hidden in a vast wilderness, and only some lonely small trees were shivering in the cold wind.
The weather was dry and dry, and it was a good weather for fighting, but from time to time there was a cold wind, and a few small snowflakes rolled over, which hit the face a little painfully, and the breath of the sergeants also turned into a thick white gas, and the mules and horses also snorted from time to time.
The weather in Liaodong was cold, and although the soldiers wrapped their heads and faces tightly in cloth and applied grease to their hands and faces to prevent frostbite, this kind of cold weather was not a good thing for the model brigade, an army with southerners as the backbone.
Just as he was about to consider whether to stop and rest for a while, let the soldiers eat some dry food and drink some hot water, the cavalry who served as a sentry more than ten miles away did not collect them at night, but Pegasus sent back the news: they had encountered the Qing army rangers. Most of the rangers are blue armor with red edges, which is the sentry of the Qing army with blue flags! (To be continued......)
