Chapter 181: Advance as Retreat (Ask for Subscription!) )
…
This time he went south to suppress Fangla, almost all the big battles were fought by the Jinwu army, and almost all the great achievements were made by the Jinwu army, and Cai was still promoted to one of the bigwigs of the Great Song Dynasty military because of the suppression of Fangla.
If Cai is allowed to continue fighting, especially if Cai still captures Fang Lasheng alive and sends him back to Beijing as Cai still said, then what will happen to Tan Zhi in the future, Cai will still be firmly in the second position of the Great Song military, and it is even possible to kick Tong Guan away and become the first person in the Great Song military.
Therefore, as soon as Cai still took the initiative to ask for help, Tan Zhi immediately jumped up to stop it.
In fact, not only Tan Zhi is jealous of Cai Ying, but Tong Guan is also jealous of Cai Ying.
The soldiers of the Jinwu Army, up to the commanders, down to the bottom of the soldiers, even if they are just the soldiers and civilians, are not afraid of death, dare to fight, like to fight, and have strict discipline and a surprisingly good reputation.
Tong Guan is a person who has commanded soldiers for more than 20 years, and he has already trained a pair of fiery eyes, how can he not see the potential of Jin Wujun?
Tong Guan even thought more than once, "The person who will replace me in the future must be Cai Ziyin!" ”
But—
Tong Guan is still not convinced of his old age, and he doesn't want to take a back seat and lie on the merit book waiting for death, he still wants to make more contributions, and he also wants to recover Yanyun as the king.
Therefore, Tong Guan could not let Cai still come forward and replace him in charge of the military power of the Great Song Dynasty.
Therefore, I heard Tan Zhi say, "Since the Jinwu army went south, it has fought dozens of battles, large and small, and the veterans of the division are tired, so they should take a break, the Great Song Dynasty is the Great Song Dynasty for all of us, and we can't just teach the Jinwu Army to shed blood and sweat." Tong Guan immediately followed Tan Zhen's words and said, "Also, the Jinwu army has fought too many battles, killing 10,000 enemies and losing 8,000 yourself, it's time to rest and rest." ”
Although Cai still hates Fang La, there are really many innocent people in Fang La's righteous army, so Cai is still not interested in suppressing Fang La.
In fact, if it weren't for the need for military exploits to strengthen himself, Cai would still not have worked hard to suppress Fang La.
Now, Cai still wants almost everything.
No matter how sharp it is, it may be feared by others, which is not a good thing.
Therefore, the reason why Cai still took the initiative to ask to recover Muzhou was completely to advance and retreat.
However, it is still too obvious to retreat now, so Cai still said, "As we all know, our Jinwu army has just expanded, so there are many new forces, and there is no need to rest. ”
Tan Shu said, "Ziyin, you are very wrong, it is precisely because of this that you have to stop and train your recruits well, otherwise, if you really pull them to the battlefield now, they will have to mutiny." ”
Tan Zhi said again, "Speaking of which, I heard that many of your recruits are selected from the traitors, which makes it even more dangerous, what if they break the connection with the traitors?" ”
Cai still defended, "The recruits I recruited from the rebels are all carefully selected, and they will not rebel again, besides, there are so many prisoners this time, they can't all be pitted, and I can only pick some useful ones, and cut off the thumbs and big toes of the rest." ”
This is Cai's excuse to the outside world, and it has been reported.
Of course, Cai still handles it this way, and there are reasonable excuses.
The excuse is that I can't afford it.
More than 100,000 or 200,000 people, the daily consumption of grain is hundreds of thousands of catties.
How to raise?
Let the Northern Song Dynasty court contribute money and grain to support?
Are you kidding?
Because the southeast is a source of wealth, the Northern Song Dynasty itself is about to run out of money and food, how can there be money and food to support so many prisoners?
Therefore, if the front line could not capture enough food, the Northern Song Dynasty court would have no choice.
In this case, Cai still said that he could not seize grain (in fact, it was captured, in Wude, Deqing, Cai still seized millions of stone grain, well...... To be precise, Chen Jingu and Fang Baihua gave Cai still millions of stone grains), so there is no problem in dealing with the prisoners, except for the punishment being a little lighter.
Tan Zhi said, "I didn't say that because you handled it improperly, I only said to Xuan Xiang that your soldiers have problems now, and they are not suitable to go to the main battlefield, otherwise this is the case, your troops will go directly south, recover Yuezhou, Mingzhou, Taizhou, Wenzhou, and Fuzhou, and be responsible for cleaning up the rebels on the periphery, how about it?" ”
Without waiting for Cai to still open his mouth, Tong Guan also said, "That's fine, you can go home by the way, repair a mausoleum for your ancestors, and find your lost relatives." ”
Soon after the Fangla rebels broke through Hangzhou, all sides rebelled, and the rebels in Fuzhou simply destroyed the grave of Cai Jing's grandfather, exposing the bones.
Cai Jing's grandfather is naturally also Cai Zhen's ancestor.
The Chinese pay attention to filial piety first, and if Cai still shows that he is not filial to his ancestors, then Cai's great image will suddenly collapse.
In other words, it is pretending, and Cai still has to pretend this time.
Therefore, Tong Guan is not a little smarter than Tan Zhen, and the excuses he makes, even if Cai still wants to refuse, he can't do it.
Cai is still from Chiling, Cixiaoli, Xianyou County, Xinghua Army (that is, Dongzhai Village, Fengting Town, Xianyou County, Putian City, Fujian Province in later generations), if you want to return to your hometown to worship your ancestors, you can only go to the first line of Yuezhou, Mingzhou, Taizhou and Wenzhou.
Cai still pretended to be helpless, and said, "It's been two or three years since I left home, and it's time to go back and have a look, so ...... Just listen to Xuanxiang's arrangement. ”
Cai is still willing to give up the position of the main attack, and the next thing will be easy to do.
Tong Guan quickly took out the battle plan he had already drawn up, and said, "Then the Central Forbidden Army and the Shengjie Army will go to Fuyang to attack Muzhou, and then work with the Western Route Army to force the main force of the rebels back to Qingxi and encircle and annihilate ......"
As soon as the combat meeting was over, Cai still took people to the Jingyuan Army.
Cai still sent Chai Jin to investigate in many ways, and finally got the list of generals and colonies of the Western Army, and Cai still finally determined that Wu Jue, Wang Yan and the group of fierce generals under them were now in the Jingyuan Army.
Wu Jue served as an adjutant of Jinyi in the Jingyuan Army at this time, and not long ago in the battle to prevent the Fang La Yi Army from recapturing Hangzhou, Wu Jue led his brothers to break through his crowd and capture a chieftain, and now he is famous.
Wang Yan had twice followed the seed master to fight against Western Xia, and he was also well-known in the Jingyuan army.
Cai is still bound to Wu Jue, Wang Yan and other giants.
Therefore, when he learned that the Jingyuan Army was also stationed in Hangzhou, Cai still immediately brought people to visit the Jingyuan Army.
The commander of the Jingyuan Army is Yang Keshi, who has always been famous in the Western Army for daring to fight and taking his own hands, and he is also the number one general in the hands of the Seed Master.
Cai still suddenly ran to Jingyuan Road, which made Yang Keshi very inexplicable.
But despite this, Yang Keshi still led his generals to greet him at the first time.
Liu Qi knows Yang Keshi, and Yang Keshi also knows Liu Qi.
So, Liu Qi introduced Cai still to Yang Keshi, "General Yang, this is my family's invitation to the father-in-law, he has heard of General Yang's hero for a long time, and he specially came to meet General Yang." ”
Liu Qi is not a lie, although Yang Keshi has suffered defeats in several key battles between Song and Liao in history, he is not a general who dares to fight, at least much stronger than other Song generals in the same period, so Cai is still happy to know Yang Keshi, after all, the two may have to deal with each other in the future.
Cai still knows that Yang Keshi is a hero, how can Yang Keshi not know that Cai is still a hero now?
Moreover, Yang Keshi often heard people say that Cai is still the number one master today, which makes Yang Keshi, who is also a rare opponent in the Western Army, faintly unconvinced.
Therefore, Yang Keshi has also been looking for an opportunity to meet Cai Ying.
Seeing each other today also happened to fulfill Yang Keshi's wish.
Yang Keshi's level was several levels lower than Cai Ying's, so he bowed first, "The last general has seen the Zhao Xianggong." ”
Cai still hurriedly helped Yang Keshi up, and said, "General Yang is polite, I have long wanted to know General Yang, but unfortunately you and I are busy, so I have never had the opportunity to see him." ”
Yang Keshi didn't know whether what Cai was saying was true or false, so he hurriedly invited Cai still into the camp and entertained him with good wine and food.
Cai still never mentioned the purpose of his trip, but just pushed the cup with Yang Keshi and others.
It's just that when drinking with Wu Jue, Wang Yan and others, Cai still seems more polite and enthusiastic.
Actually, Cai still didn't think about poaching Wu Jue, Wang Yan and others today, what he wanted was to get acquainted with Wu Jue and Wang Yan first, and then send someone to slowly dig them up when he turned around.
No, halfway through drinking, someone suddenly came in and said, "Tell me to go and see your BMW, it has bitten and kicked all the horses in the stable, and we can't pull it at all." ”
When they heard this, they went out of their tents together to see.
After a while, everyone came to the stable, and then saw Cai Ying's claw Huang Feidian chasing a group of war horses in the stable, kicking and biting.
As soon as he saw Cai still appearing, Huang Feidian immediately stopped, and then honestly ran to eat grass.
The generals of the Western Army can be said to have been dealing with horses all their lives, so they can see at a glance that Huang Feidian is a rare BMW horse in the world.
Yang Keshi couldn't help but praise, "It's really a BMW, a BMW that has nothing in a million miles!" ”
Cai still asked Yan Guangxiao to go over and tie up the claw Huang Feidian, and then said to Yang Keshi, "This horse is a gift from Your Majesty, if General Yang likes it, I will transfer it to General Yang." ”
Where did Yang Keshi dare to ask Zhao Ji to give Cai Yi a BMW, he hurriedly said, "No merit is not rewarded, but the world does not dare to ask for a BMW of the public." ”
Cai still smiled and said, "I won't give it to you in vain, how about I use this horse to exchange two people with General Yang?" ”
Yang Keshi glanced at Wu Jue and Wang Yan in the distance, and said, "Recruit, but do you want to exchange Wu Jinqing and Wang Zicai?" ”
Cai still laughed and said, "I actually let General Yang see it." ”
Seeing that Cai was still very honorable to admit it, Yang Keshi said, "Although the general's mount is good, it is not as good as the general of my Jingyuan army." ”
Cai was still surprised, "Jin Qing and Zicai seem to be just team generals, when will they become generals?" ”
Yang Keshi laughed and said, "It's not just that the prince is wise and knowledgeable, but the world is not blind, within ten years, if Jin Qing and Zicai can't lead an army alone, the world will gouge out these eyes!" ”
When Cai still heard this, he secretly said, "It's bad, I'm too anxious, let Yang Keshi grasp Wu Jue and Wang Yan more tightly, now, I may not be able to dig Wu Jue and Wang Yan!" ”
No, Yang Keshi's tone suddenly changed, and he said, "However, if the prime minister really wants Wu Jinqing and Wang Zicai, it is not that he can't be discussed at all. ”
Cai's eyes lit up and said, "Oh? What General Yang wants, though. ”
Yang Keshi put away his smile and said, "Xianggong will fight with me, as long as Xianggong wins me, anything can be discussed!" ”
